...Needing to kill, but hoping to be caught, Erica waves clues about her crimes in the face of a sympathetic detective (Terrence Howard). He's good at his job, but she's better: with a little legwork, she tracks down her husband's killers. Whether or not Erica wants revenge, the genre does, and the movie must oblige, in a climax that fatally ups the implausibility quotient. The movie finally buys the old right-wing argument that a conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged...
...doesn't help that today's players are also bigger, faster and stronger, which means that each impact packs more punch. Since 1985, the average weight of NFL players has ballooned 10%, to 248 pounds, according to a recent study by Scripps Howard News Service. The heaviest position, offensive tackle, has gone from 281 pounds two decades ago to 318 pounds today. So, the dozens of high-speed hits that happen every game carry a higher likelihood of potentially hazardous results. While catastrophic injuries like Everett's remain rare, reports of concussions and other severe trauma on the football field...

The distinction may sound trivial at first, but as a society, we tend to forgive the weak and shun the hypocritical.

...Orleans, which once watched its brightest move away and more recently experienced a mass exodus. For his New Orleans director, Schnur was able to lure Tyra Newell, who was the budget director for Chicago public schools. She was born and raised in New Orleans, but after she went to Howard University and then Stanford Graduate School of Business, her father was worried that she would never come back. The hurricane brought her home. She and Schnur hope to bring at least 40 new school principals to New Orleans over the next three years, and the state board of education bestowed...
...says Annie Petsonk, international counsel for Environmental Defense. For that to happen, voters will have to show that they'll support politicians who support emissions caps. That's long been the case in Western Europe, and it's slowly happening in laggards like Australia and the U.S as well. Howard's sudden conversion on climate change is at least partially driven by the fact that global warming has emerged as a top concern among voters in Australia, which has suffered through years of extreme drought. The opposition Labor Party, which has pledged to sign the Kyoto Protocol, is leading...
