...David Linde, "pushed back the Green Zone postproduction and release to allow Greengrass to find the film - and an ending - in the editing room." The movie's budget was at least $130 million, plus another $100 million or so to bring to market, and is unlikely to return even half that sum to Universal. The Green Zone shadow, plus the failures of a bunch of other Universal movies (Land of the Lost, Bruno, Funny People, Duplicity, State of Play, etc.), cost Shmuger and Linde their jobs in October.

Despite what the scoreboard might suggest, the Harvard women’s hockey didn’t play any differently than it usually does Friday night. It didn’t start the game half asleep, and it didn’t struggle to control the puck. Rather, the Crimson ran into a Cornell squad that was able to use the team’s usual offensive strengths against...
That Cornell did, as it took advantage of a failed rush to put the Crimson down by a goal two and a half minutes into the game.

"Operating in conflict zones is always a complex...

More than one-third of the coal burned in the U.S. is mined in the central Appalachian Mountains, which stretch from Tennessee to Ohio, and nearly half of the electricity used by Americans is powered by coal. Despite ongoing talk of a new clean energy economy - "Whoever builds a clean energy economy...is going to own the 21st-century global economy," President Barack Obama said at a meeting of governors in Washington in February - coal is too plentiful in the U.S. to be abandoned. The International Energy...
