1. One of the sweetest movies you're ever likely to come across.
2. Adam Sandler falls for Drew Barrymore
3. Herlihy's screenplay offers few laughs on its own; the film's most humorous moments come from Sandler's low-key, off-hand delivery.
4. Like the cinematic equivalent of cotton candy, it might make you yak, but it tastes pretty good going down.
5. Sandler proves here that he's not only a brilliant comedian, but a talented actor.

8. If you like a pleasant and predictable romantic comedy, then this is the one for you.
9. The film is just a trifle, but in the mid-winter cinematic wasteland, you have to grade on a curve.

News article: Album review: Paul McCartney's 'Kisses on the Bottom'
This post has been updated. See below for details.
Those of a certain age might remember the “Is Paul Dead?” rumor that swirled around the Beatles at the peak of their career. Fans played Beatles tracks backward and carefully examined photographs for “evidence” of Paul McCartney's supposed demise.
After listening to McCartney's new quaint little dalliance with the Great American Songbook, “Kisses on the Bottom,” the question that occurred to me was “Is Paul retired?”
“Kisses on the Bottom” features music McCartney used to sing around the piano with his family as a tyke in the 1940s and '50s, along with other period pieces selected by the singer and producer Tommy LiPuma, plus two new McCartney songs. The evidence is legion that Sir James Paul McCartney, 69, longtime songwriting powerhouse, may have indeed punched his final time clock.
There's the gold (retirement?) watch he's wearing on his left arm in many of the photos within the CD package. His last solo studio album, in 2007, was called “Memory Almost Full” and was followed by what could be considered a retirement party: “Good Evening New York City,” a 2009 two CD/DVD package that featured the veteran reliving the glory years. Another tribute to McCartney on Friday will see him receiving the MusiCares Person of the Year honor for his myriad charitable endeavors.
More explicit confirmation comes via the album's booklet, in which McCartney explains the process of working with LiPuma and a crack group of players — including Diana Krall and her band, Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton and the remarkable father-son jazz guitar team of Bucky and John Pizzarelli.
“The players did all the hard work,” says McCartney in a Q&A published in the liner notes, “and I was just in the booth singing. There was one moment when we were having a puzzle over some slight problem, and I said, ‘I don't mind. I'm in L.A. I'm British. I'm a tourist. I'm in Capitol A Studio, I'm singing on Nat King Cole's microphone — I'm on holiday.' “ Not the words of someone who seems too worried about job security.
The record (the title is a line from the opening track, “I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter”) features songs from the 1930s and 1940s by some of America's great early 20th century songwriters. It comes dangerously close to breaching the property-line that early retiree Rod Stewart has drawn in his wildly successful, and treacly, series of “Great American Songbook” titles, though McCartney's song choices are less predictable.
More to the point, like Stewart's blockbuster series of classics, “Kisses” is perhaps an acknowledgment by an artist that the pop and rock rat race — i.e. the backbreaking work of keeping relevant in an ever-evolving musical landscape — is no longer worth the effort. Thus: It's time to retire.
Gentle on the ears and soft on the heart, “Kisses” might be of no greater or lesser consequence than an easygoing golf outing among friends or a weekend spent digging a garden near the back fence, but its pleasures, though small and sleepy, can be gratifying. It is a more satisfying listen if treated as a footnote in McCartney's repertoire, in the best sense of the term: a record to cite when discussing the influences of some of the writer's more Songbook-referential ditties of his own, like “Martha My Dear,” “Honey Pie” and that part in “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey” about “a cup of tea and butter pie.”
Harold Arlen, E.Y. Harburg, and Billy Rose's classic “It's Only a Paper Moon” features dueling Pizzarellis on guitars and Krall chiming in on piano, which she does throughout the album. The wonderful “My Valentine,” one of the new McCartney compositions, wouldn't sound out of place on an Ella Fitzgerald songbook record; and McCartney's take on “Always,” a song written by Irving Berlin in 1925 as a wedding gift to his wife, is as sweet and supple as a garden-grown blueberry, and is suggestive of a McCartney composition with the Beatles, “I Will.” Alan Broadbent's minimal arrangements throughout the record are exquisite.
Like a great chip shot seen only by the rest of your foursome or a fresh new row of daisies sprouting in the spring, its influence is minimal in the scheme of things, but not without its own kind of joy. It's a charming offering realized without the pressures of sales or reputation to worry about, and a reminder that this McCartney guy was once a true force.
Update, Feb. 6, 6:30 p.m.: The original version of this post referred to Paul McCartney's "last studio album" as 2007's “Memory Almost Full.” The singer also released a collaborative studio album in 2008 with the producer Youth under the moniker, The Fireman. As a clarifiation, we have added the word "solo" to the sentence in question.

Go for a run. Bike. Hop on the elliptical.
Article: | Studies have showed that some cardio exercises work your gluteal muscles more than others. The treadmill or jogging was ranked as number 1. Jogging is a great cardio exercise that not only lifts your butt muscles, but can help you burn fat to help you look more toned overall. When you're jogging, make sure you focus on running heel to toe. This is the appropriate form for running. To take jogging to the next level, increase the incline on the treadmill or find a hilly route to run. Another butt kicking and toning cardio activity is spinning or using a stationary bike. This high intensity exercise will be an excellent aerobic exercise but also helps tone your butt and legs. Use a stationary bike (not a recumbent) at your local gym. Take it slow if you're a beginner. To help really work your butt, push down forcefully on the pedals as you bike. It's actually a myth that spinning makes your legs bigger or thicker. Overall, it generally helps slim down your legs. Another cardio machine that was ranked as activating your butt muscles was the elliptical. Although not as good as jogging, the elliptical is a low-impact machine that can tone your butt. When you're using the elliptical, help isolate your butt muscles by sticking your butt out slightly and pushing down hard with the heels of your feet. You can increase the resistance of the elliptical to make it more difficult. | 8 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |
Ibn Sina's first appointment was that of physician to the emir, Nuh II, who owed him his recovery from a dangerous illness (997). Ibn Sina's chief reward for this service was access to the royal library of the Samanids, well-known patrons of scholarship and scholars. When the library was destroyed by fire not long after, the enemies of Ibn Sina accused him of burning it, in order for ever to conceal the sources of his knowledge. Meanwhile, he assisted his father in his financial labors, but still found time to write some of his earliest works.

It wasn’t quite one of the gruelling 75-minute work-outs Robin van Persie has warned his Manchester United team-mates about, but Louis van Gaal was still his usual uncompromising self as Holland trained on Friday. Van Persie frightened a few in the Old Trafford dressing room this week when he described how Van Gaal would be on their backs every minute during ‘enormously intense’ training sessions. But on the evidence of the final Dutch practice before Saturday night's World Cup warm-up with Ghana, it will be some of his more unorthodox techniques that will unsettle them. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Louis van Gaal's quirky training methods. Snap happy: Louis van Gaal pretends to take a picture of some of his players in Holland training. Preparation: The Netherlands team trained at De Kuip in Rotterdam on Friday. In charge: The incoming Manchester United boss marshals his Dutch players. There was an entertaining game of head. tennis in which three groups of seven - holding hands in a circle -. must race from byline to half-way line without allowing the ball to. drop. Unfortunately, the. circle nearest to Van Gaal weren’t especially good and every time the. ball hit the ground, he would despatch them unceremoniously back to the. start with an outstretched finger and a look of disdain. During. a 40-minute small-sided game, it was imperative that Van Gaal’s team -. containing former Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt, now at Fenerbahce, and. Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul - won. A. whistle permanently resting between his lips, he pointed, prodded and. posed searching questions until they finally got their act together and. scored the decisive goals. At. one point, Feyenoord centre back Terence Kongolo turned away from his. manager, wincing with pain, and poured cold water down his shorts. The. agony wasn’t inflicted by Van Gaal - not on this occasion - but the. must-win mentality clearly stretches down to even the smallest of games. When. not snapping and snarling, Van Gaal stood aloof in one of two default. stances. The one with the arms folded and the one with the hands plunged. deep in his pockets. Something wrong? Terence Kongolo (right) looks in discomfort as he turns away. Both,. allied with a stern and unchanging expression, leave it clear that this. is a meticulous coach who sees everything and demands the highest. standards. There was. delegation for the warm-ups, to assistants Patrick Kluivert and Danny. Blind, but once Van Gaal strode up, there was no doubting who was in. charge. There was some fun,. too, but only at the very end. When Kuyt and Co finally emerged. victors, Van Gaal lined them up in celebratory pose and pretended to. take a picture of them. It. was probably more of a show for the 5,000-strong crowd - the vast. majority kitted out in oranje, naturally - who had gathered at the De. Kuip for a public training session. Van. Gaal was cheered to the echo whenever he kicked a ball and the. consensus was that he’s perhaps leaving for England too soon. But that opinion may change if Holland fail to advance beyond a tricky World Cup group containing Spain, Chile and Australia. Crowd: Holland supporters packed in to Feyenoord's home stadium De Kuip to watch the training session. United front: Robin van Persie and Van Gaal have a word during training in Rotterdam. Their. form hasn’t been great since completing qualification unbeaten with a. 2-0 win over Turkey back in October, the subsequent friendlies. comprising of draws with Japan, Colombia and Ecuador, and a defeat to. France. Van Gaal will cut. his 29-man provisional squad - reduced after Rafael van der Vaart pulled. out with a calf injury - to 23 on Monday, so the Ghana match is a last. chance to impress. He will. reshuffle his team, with Van Persie leading a three-pronged attack. alongside Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben, and Swansea’s Jonathan De. Guzman in midfield. Van. Gaal has been here before and not prospered. He was in charge when. Ireland beat them to qualification for the 2002 finals and Kuyt believes. that failure is his primary motivation. He told De Telegraaf: ‘The disappointment of 2001 has made him stronger. He will do anything to achieve success this time. ‘I. think Van Gaal is a very experienced top trainer who knows exactly what. is required to perform in Brazil. He knows exactly what he wants and. has been a champion in many different countries.’ Challenge: The Manchester United striker is tackled by central defender Bruno Martins Indi. Pass and move: Wesley Sneijder, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Van Persie take part in a training exercise.

The Reconquest: The aim of the Crusades in Spain was the eviction of the Muslims. After the recovery of Jerusalem in 1099, it took four hundred years of sieges and battles, treaties, betrayals, and yet more battles, before Christian kings and warlords succeeded in subduing the Moors. On 10 September 1229, a Catalan army led by King Jaume I of Aragón and Catalunya took the Mallorcan shore near the present-day resort of Santa Ponça. The defenders retreated inside the walls of Palma, but on the last day of 1229 the city fell, and pockets of resistance throughout the island were also defeated. Jaume I proved to be an enlightened ruler who profited from the talents of the Moors — converted by force to Christianity — as well as of the island's large Jewish and Genoese trading communities. Mallorca prospered. The Moors on Menorca speedily agreed to pay an annual tribute to Aragón and were left in peace. The island's tranquility lasted until 1287, when Alfonso III of Aragón, smarting over a series of humiliations at the hands of his nobles, found a pretext for invasion. The Moors were defeated and expelled or killed. In contrast to Mallorca, Menorca's economy was devastated for decades. Jaume I died after reigning in Aragón for six decades, but he made the cardinal error of dividing between his sons the lands he had fought for so long to unite. At first this resulted in an Independent Kingdom of Mallorca, under Jaume II, followed by Sanç and Jaume III. But family rivalry triggered the overthrow of Jaume III by his cousin Pedro IV, who then seized the Balearics for Aragón. Attempting a comeback, Jaume was killed in battle near Llucmajor in 1349. A newly unified Christian Spain under the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, completed the Reconquest, defeating the only Moorish enclave left on the Iberian peninsula, Granada, in 1492. However, the centralized kingdom failed to incorporate the Balearics politically or economically.

The Department of Justice has filed its own lawsuit and upped the ante in a fight between the federal government and North Carolina's governor in the legal battle over the state's law regarding access to bathrooms.
In the suit, the Justice Department said the law "stigmatizes and singles out transgender employees, results in their isolation and exclusion, and perpetuates a sense that they are not worthy of equal treatment and respect."
Attorney General Loretta Lynch delivered a statement that recalled reactions to moments in history such as ending Jim Crow laws that enforced segregation, Brown v. Board of Education — which codified ending separate education for white and black students and state bans on same sex marriage. The similarities, she said, speaks to periods in which states had discriminatory responses to broader social change.
This is more than a fight over bathrooms, she said.
"This is about the dignity and respect that we accord our fellow citizens and the laws we have enacted as a country to protect them and to protect us," Lynch said.
The state's Gov. Pat McCrory turned up the heat earlier Monday and filed a lawsuit against the federal government.
It was the state's response to the U.S. Justice Department, which last week gave Gov. Pat McCrory until the end of the day Monday to respond to a letter that said the law violates federal civil rights statutes.
Monday's lawsuit called the Justice Department's legal position "a baseless and blatant overreach" and a radical reinterpretation of federal laws — especially the Civil Rights Act's ban on sex discrimination.
"Transgender status is not a protected class" under the law, the lawsuit said, and if the Justice Department believes it should be, the feds should ask Congress to change the law.
“The Obama administration is bypassing Congress by attempting to rewrite the law,” McCrory said during a briefing Monday.
McCrory added that he “wholeheartedly” supports fighting discrimination. “I want to ensure the people of our state and our country, North Carolina has long held traditions of equality,” he said.
In a written statement Monday, McCrory said he was acting to ensure that the state continues to receive millions of dollars in federal aid to public schools and the University of North Carolina.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said in response to the lawsuit that President Barack Obama has “spoken powerfully to the idea (that the law) is inconsistent with values of fairness and equality and justice.”
If the federal government yanked funding, the 17-campus UNC system could lose more than $1.4 billion in public money.
Another $800 million in federally backed loans for students who attend the public universities also would be at risk.
McCrory hired two private law firms to draft and file the suit. North Carolina's attorney general, Roy Cooper, said earlier he would not defend the bathroom law in court. Cooper is running against McCrory in the governor's bid for re-election.

The lawsuit avoided any mention of a separate provision of the Civil Rights Act that bars sex discrimination by public schools. A federal appeals court ruled last month that the law prohibits discrimination against transgender students.
The appeals court said public schools must allow transgender students to use the bathrooms that match their gender identity. The ruling came in a lawsuit brought by a high school student in Virginia.
That decision is binding on the five states of the Fourth Circuit, which includes North Carolina.
The appeals court based its decision on a regulation issued by the Department of Education a year ago, interpreting the requirements of a federal law known as Title IX, which prohibits schools that receive federal funds from engaging in sex discrimination.
"A school generally must treat transgender students consistent with their gender identity," the federal regulation said.

McCrory and other state officials have been under pressure since the Justice Department warned last week that the law passed in March violates civil rights protections against sex discrimination on the job and in education for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
In letters, federal civil rights enforcement attorneys focused on provisions requiring transgender people to use public restrooms that correspond to their biological sex.
But the law also bars local governments from prohibiting discrimination against LGBTQ people in public places. The state law was designed to block an anti-discrimination ordinance by the city council in Charlotte, which McCrory called “government overreach.”

If the federal government yanked funding, the 17-campus UNC system could lose more than $1.4 billion in public money.
UNC President Margaret Spellings has said that the university system doesn’t endorse the law but is obligated to follow it.
Another $800 million in federally backed loans for students who attend the public universities also would be at risk if it's found that enforcing the law violates Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, which bars discrimination based on sex.
The divisive new law has already led to a nationwide fallout, and multi-billion-dollar companies continue to withdraw investment from the state as some residents decamp to "friendlier" locations. Founders and chief executives of more than a hundred companies — including Apple, Twitter and Alphabet — urged McCrory to repeal the legislation, while high-profile entertainers like Bruce Springsteen and Pearl Jam have canceled appearances in North Carolina.
The state also faces lawsuits by individuals and various civil rights organizations, including the ACLU, over the law.
“Transgender people work for the state of North Carolina, attend school in North Carolina, and are a part of every community across the state. It is unconscionable that the government is placing a target on their backs to advance this discriminatory political agenda,” the ACLU said in a statement Monday. “Lawsuits are normally filed to stop discrimination — not to continue it.”
Human Rights Campaign and Equality NC, two LGBT advocacy groups,criticized McCrory for spending taxpayers’ money on the lawsuit. “HB2 is a vile law attacking transgender North Carolinians and leaves many more unprotected from discrimination,” said HRC President Chad Griffin. “Rather than defending it, Governor McCrory should be working with state lawmakers to fix the mess he’s created.” ||||| FILE- In this May 4, 2016, file photo, North Carolina Gov.

North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory is going to court in a fight for a state law that limits protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
McCrory is leading a lawsuit filed Monday seeking to keep in place the law the U.S. Justice Department said last week violated the civil rights of transgender people.
The Justice Department had set a deadline of Monday for McCrory to report whether he would refuse to enforce the last that took effect in March.

North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory shows no signs of backing down in the face of the federal government's Monday deadline to declare he won't enforce the new state law limiting protections for LGBT people — defiance that could risk funding for the state's university system and lead to a protracted legal battle.
The U.S. Justice Department last week warned the new law violates civil rights protections against sex discrimination at work and in education for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
The agency focused particularly on provisions requiring transgender people to use public restrooms matching their biological sex. The department says a lawsuit against the state is possible.
McCrory said Sunday on television that Obama administration officials are acting like bullies, but repeatedly declined to say what his written response would be. |||||
Summary: | – North Carolina's governor is digging in over the state's controversial "bathroom law." Gov. Pat McCrory said Monday he will go to court to defend the law, which limits protections for LGBT people, reports the AP. The Justice Department ruled last week that the law violated the civil rights of transgender people, and it gave McCrory until Monday to decide whether he would enforce the measure, known as House Bill No. 2. His response came in the form of a lawsuit filed Monday morning against the Justice Department. It's not a huge surprise, given that the governor had accused the feds of trying to "bully" the state, notes NBC News. The law requires transgender people to use the bathroom corresponding with their biological sex. | 1 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

(CNN) -- The deadliest Ebola outbreak in history continues to plague West Africa as leaders scramble to stop the virus from spreading. Over the weekend, Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf closed most of the country's borders. The few points of entry that are still open will have Ebola testing centers and will implement preventive measures, she said. The president also placed restrictions on public gatherings and ordered hotels, restaurants and other entertainment venues to play a five-minute video on Ebola safety. "No doubt the Ebola virus is a national health problem," Sirleaf said. "It attacks our way of life, with serious economic and social consequences. As such we are compelled to bring the totality of our national resolve to fight this scourge."
The agency sent a notice Monday to remind doctors to take important steps to avoid the spread of the illness, including asking their patients about their travel history, particularly if they have traveled to

Katharine Meyer Graham was once described as "the most powerful woman in America." She was not a government official or elected representative. She owned and published The Washington Post. Under her leadership, it became one of the most important newspapers in the country. Katharine Meyer was born in New York City in 1917. Her father was a successful investment banker and became an important financial official. Her family was very rich. Katharine grew up in large houses in New York and Washington. Her parents were often away from home, traveling and working, Katharine was often lonely. Katherine Meyer graduated from the University of Chicago in Illinois in 1938. In 1933, her father bought a failing newspaper, The Washington Post. It was the least successful one of five newspapers in Washington. Katharine Graham returned to Washington and got a job editing letters to the editor of her father's newspaper. She married Philip Graham. He was a clerk for Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter but soon accepted a job at his wife's father's newspaper. Mr. Graham improved The Washington Post. He bought Newsweek and several television stations. He also established close ties with important political leaders. However, Mr. Graham treated his wife badly. He had an affair with a young reporter. For many years, Mr. Graham suffered from mental illness. He killed himself in 1963. Katharine Graham had four children to raise and a newspaper to operate. At first, she was only concerned about finding a way to keep control of The Washington Post until her sons were old enough. She did not think she had the ability to do an important job. She had no training in business or experience in operating a large company. In those days, it was unusual for a woman to be the head of a business. Women were expected to look after their homes and children. Katharine Graham met with officials of The Washington Post. She was elected president of The Washington Post Company. She had no idea about how to operate a newspaper. So she decided to learn. She began by hiring Benjamin C.Bradlee. He later became chief editor. Mr. Bradlee improved the newspaper. He hired excellent reporters and editors. They began doing important investigative reporting. In 1969, Mrs. Graham became publisher as well as president of The Washington Post Company. In the 1970s, The Washington Post became famous around the world because of two major successes.

Qi Baishi (1863~1957) is one of the best-known contemporary Chinese artists. His life shows he achieved success by combining talent with hard work.
He was born in a peasant family. At 11 he was sent to learn carpentry . Through his work he got to know some local scholars. One of them, Hu Shenyuan, offered to teach his painting and poetry. During this period he earned his living by painting portraits and selling his works. Gradually he developed a reputation as an artist as well as a carpenter. In those years he devoted himself to poetry, calligraphy , and seal-carving. Although he admitted he was a versatile artist, his own criteria of his successes placed poetry first, seal-carving second, calligraphy third, and painting last.
From 1902 to 1916, Qi toured the country five times, and he left his footmarks in many cities, such as Beijing and Hongkong. The trips broadened his vision and changed his style. In 1917 he settled down in Beijing, where he met many artists and scholars, and made friends with Chen Shizeng. Chen advised him not to _ early masters and to form his own style.
Through long years of practice, Qi Baishi evolved a distinctive personal style. The subjects of his painting were wide and various, and the flowers, birds, fish, prawns , and insects he painted are most admired by his public. To improve his technique of painting prawns, he raised some at home and frequently observed their movements. He wrote in his diary about how he had changed his method of painting prawns: "At first my prawns owned a reasonable similarity, then they became even more realistic, and finally light and dark color1s became properly contrasted. These are the three changes." Qi Baishi was able to portray the same object in either the xieyior thegongbistyle. When he painted a dragonfly in a detailed manner, he even drew the veins in its wings. When he adopted a , free style, he used only a few dry, expressive strokes to form it. What is fascinating about his work is that in some pictures both methods are used.

Why play one sport when you can play two at the same time? That was the question a number of like-minded individuals were asking themselves, circa 2006. And it is thanks to the vision of these select few that the sport of FootGolf -- a game, unsurprisingly, combining elements of football and golf -- was born and has been spreading its way around the globe ever since. One of those men was Mike O'Connor, who today combines the roles of president of the Federation for International FootGolf (FIFG) and president of UK FootGolf. "I just knew FootGolf would be a bit of a no-brainer for the amount of golf courses there are, as well as the number of golfers and footballers," O'Connor told CNN of a game that involves players kicking a football around a golf course, complete with bigger holes.
After years in production, O'Connor would bring the sport to the

1. Vertigo (1958) is one of Alfred Hitchcock's most powerful, deep, and stunningly beautiful films (in widescreen 70 mm VistaVision) - it is a film noir
2. The most-discussed work of the master; despairingly sardonic and demanding of multiple viewings.

Brook, looking fuller in the face and stature and not forced to boil down to 147lb, rather than the middleweight limit of 160lb, said: “It’s the biggest fight in world boxing. It’s a fight that makes me so excited, I’m the best welterweight on the planet and nobody wants to fight me, it’s the same with ‘GGG’.
“He’s the best middleweight in the world and they do not want to face him. I will bring speed but we’re also hitting the right numbers with power at the new weight. I’m going to be so sharp, so alive on the night.”
Brook has 25 knockouts from 36 fights, and for the first time in his career will be a huge underdog. “Nobody’s ever got the best out of me, I want to test myself and I know that we’ll see the best in me. I’m excited myself to see what I can do. I always seem to do enough, find a way to win, and it’ll be the same. There’ll be massive drama.
