...last film was Y tu mamátambién, the racy, critically hailed Mexican road movie about two teenage boys and an older woman in a love triangle. But Cuarón has also had experience adapting the works of some other esteemed British authors - Frances Hodgson Burnett (1995's A Little Princess) and Charles Dickens (1998's Great Expectations). The change in directors means that there probably won't be a new Potter film next year. Azkaban won't begin shooting until March. This will give Cuarón more pre-production time, and will allow Radcliffe...
...Ning Sports hopes to maintain home-court advantage by attacking the foreign brands in metropolitan China, in part by exploiting growing national pride during the run-up to the 2008 Olympics to be held in Beijing. The company recently hired ad agency Leo Burnett Beijing and set aside $11 million for marketing this year, one of the biggest corporate-marketing budgets in China. Higher-end product lines, created with the help of top sports-shoe designers Massimiliano Zago of Italy and Paviot Jean-Philippe of France, are being added to counteract the brand's bargain-bin tinge...
...Burnett, 54, has always been a music-industry anachronism. Raised in Fort Worth, Texas, he arrived on the pop scene in 1975 as the guitarist in Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, the backup musician who literally (at 6 ft. 7 in.) overshadowed a legend.

Burnett segued into producing and, while helming more than 40 albums for such artists as Elvis Costello and Counting Crows, became...
...Burnett doesn't care much for notoriety. He has an obstreperous side that makes him wary of fame but suits his current mission as the retrograde rebel of the music business perfectly. If the industry ticks, Burnett tacks. Take commercial radio, presumed to be the business's main artery to consumers. Most contemporary songs are market tested--not to determine whether consumers like them but to see if they turn the radio up or down; commercial-radio stations want their listeners to do neither, fearing that any reach for the dial could result in a station change. Inevitably, the edges...
...been singing that song for almost 60 years." In a typical Stanley Brothers song, good battles evil, loses and sometimes gets to heaven. Carter died of cancer in 1966, but Ralph still sings his version of the American Gothic. On Ralph Stanley, his first album for T Bone Burnett's DMZ Records, Ralph sings a tune called Mathie Grove, the tale of a husband who took his cheating wife and "cut off her head and kicked it against the wall." The magic is that Ralph has a voice that makes the grotesque sound matter-of-fact. When he sings...
