...spoken to a few critics who didn't know your name when they walked into An Education but walked out predicting that you'd be the front runner for Best Actress It's odd, actually, because going into the Golden Globes, it was a year to the day to the hour from when the film had premiered at Sundance. So it's been around for such a long time that it's hard to really process. I read for the film in late 2006, and it was the third time that I auditioned when I finally met the director. There...
Hutchison also lost some anti-Perry votes to Medina. A former Ron Paul for President volunteer, Medina climbed out of obscurity thanks to good performances in the debates and her Tea Party connections.

Meanwhile, the parties are debating complex constitutional issues, including a proposed federal system of 14 ethnicity-based states. Nepal's interim constitution will expire on May 28, and if its politicians cannot agree on a new one by then, the constituent assembly will be dissolved, new elections will be called and, many...
...consular protection than shed new light on the circumstances of Wilson's death. In Australia, as in many other Western countries, there has been rising public and media attention to government protection of citizens abroad following a string of high-profile security crises, including 9/11 and the Boxing Day tsunami as well as the Bali, Madrid and London bombings, according to Michael Fullilove, a scholar with the Lowy Institute for International Policy in Sydney. "In more and more countries, [Australian] diplomats are saying that consular services for protecting citizens are keeping them awake at night," says Fullilove. "People are demanding...
