...Deep into the heart of the stay-seated zone, I was tapped on the shoulder and brightly invited to walk the length of the plane, unescorted, with my pack of poop. Which is exactly what I did, much to the wide-eyed horror of my fellow passengers, who clearly envisioned some burly air marshal tackling me in the aisle and diverting our flight to god know what airport for a six-hour FBI interrogation...
...would love to move to Baghdad if the security situation had allowed. She told friends she felt she had made a connection with the Iraqi culture. Clad in jeans and sweaters while inside the hotel compound where she lived, she chose to go outside on assignments wearing the full-length abaya that more and more Iraqi women are donning since the fall of Saddam Hussein?s regime. She speaks Arabic well enough to get by, but employed a translator, Enwiyah, an Iraqi Christian, for complicated interviews. Her language skills have allowed her to interview Iraqis on the streets...
...deficit at the start of the last leg into a three-second victory. The men came just short of their first victory of the year, winning eight of the 17 events on Saturday. Jumping success continued with long jumper and senior Travis Hughes, who took his event at a length of 6.92 meters, as well as senior Samyr Laine, whose 15.54 meter length was good enough to win the triple jump.

His conclusion is that the frequency of patterns in Mozart's music counteracts irregular firing patterns of epilepsy patients. Unlike the IQ tests, Hughes says, the response he measured has nothing to do with theories...
...patented chicken dance. At a pace as sprightly and assured as the great old Warner Bros. cartoons, the movie flirts with alien abductions, crop circles, Streisand jokes and familial reconciliation. The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, which extends Park?s Oscar-winning stop-motion short films to feature length, is about a creature that terrorizes townsfolk by eating their prize vegetables. With their usual precision and fey wit, Park and his Aardman colleagues have created a horror-romance that owes as much to Jane Austen's social comedies as to the Hammer monster movies of yore. In Millions, a sack...
