...Ekperi was playing basketball at the National Cathedral School in Washington D.C. with three other friends when, after taking a shot and landing on her feet, she sat down on the ground, and then proceeded to lay prone on the floor.

Geographer Jean-Robert Pitte, 56, president since 2003 of the University of Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV), rose to notoriety this spring with his criticism of the uprising against the government's abortive law to make it easier to fire - and therefore hire - young people.

It is 100 times as big as Yosemite and protects species like the Hawaiian monk seal, right, which should thank Laura Bush. She invited Jean-Michel Cousteau, Jacques's son, to the White House in April to screen a film on the islands. White House Council on Environmental Quality chairman James Connaughton says the President and Cousteau then talked ocean policy over supper (no fish) and into the night.
