Last November, when Shaye told Jackson he was looking for other directors for The Hobbit, Jackson posted on the fan site The OneRing.Net, "[We were told] that New Line would no longer be requiring our services on The Hobbit.

John Kerry, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and dozens of officials from California (Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger had planned to attend, but budget negotiations kept him at home) - is to signal the world that the Bush Administration no longer represents the views of most Americans on climate change. They point to the fact that U.S. cities, states and, now, the Congress have taken steps to combat global warming, and that next year's election will likely accelerate that momentum.
