...expand their audiences and capture new viewers without damaging their core business. After all, the average American from 18 to 49 years old still watches 41/2 hr. of television daily, says Morgan Stanley managing director Richard Bilotti, while the same demographic stays online each day for only 57 min. Larry Kramer, digital president for CBS--among the most active networks in the new-media space--finds it's "a real balancing act" to experiment aggressively without jeopardizing the Eye's stately brand. "A lot of this activity is meant to support the mother ship," he says...
...barely keep pace with the huge surge in demand that has been driving up prices to more than $60 per bbl.--which puts supply at the mercy of politically fickle energy producers like Russia and Iran. "We will have some shocks because supply is so tight," warned Zhu Min, executive assistant president of the Bank of China. He also expects a surge in volatility in financial markets this year and, like the other panelists, worries about how successfully the untested new chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, will deal with unforeseen problems...
...average of 59% lower on a depression scale. Those were small studies, just 39 patients total, but ACT has shown wide applicability. In a 2002 study, Hayes and a student looked at 70 hospitalized psychotics receiving the standard medication and counseling. Half were randomly assigned to four 45-min.

They actually admitted to more hallucinations than those in standard care, but ACT had reduced the believability of their hallucinations, which were now viewed more dispassionately. Hayes likes...
...Munich's nomination for Best Picture was no sure thing, because the film had managed to cause a rumpus on the left and the right. The main blasts came from Israelophiles who found the movie's anguished semi-evenhandedness a slur on the memory of a modern min-Holocaust. After Schindler's List, the gag went around town, "I knew Steven Spielberg before he was Jewish." Now, much of Hollywood was saying mournfully, "I knew Spielberg when he was Jewish." The ascendancy of Hamas (which Spielberg can't be blamed for) won't help. Neither will the film's middling...
George W. Bush's entry for himself in some future history book? Actually, it was the President describing Abraham Lincoln last week during an epic 100-min. question-and-answer session with 9,000 soldiers and students at Kansas State University. Bush hastened to say he was not comparing himself with that iconic wartime President: "I would never do that." But that's how this President sees himself, according to friends. And last week he began reminding us, selling himself with more vim and certitude than at any other time since he was re-elected 15 months...
