...Apted's 7 Up series. These are some of the finest documentary features in recent decades, and they share one distinction: none received an Oscar, or even a nomination, for Best Documentary. An outcry over the exclusion of films like these and charges of cronyism within the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' selection committee led to rules changes in 2001. So this year's list will be a lot sharper...
...lots of musical directions. From the gospel rhythm and secular doubt of The Big Guns ("I've won hundreds at the track but I'm not betting on the afterlife") to the blue-eyed soul of You Are What You Love, each song has a sense of narrative motion, largely because Lewis knows which moments call for delicacy and which demand emotive belting. She can also interpret others' songs, as proved when she nips Handle with Care from the mouths of the Traveling Wilburys and turns it into a female anthem...
Thankfully, no one is waiting for another slow-motion catastrophe to unfold. Governors of more than 20 states have pledged emergency funds to help people, at least temporarily, pay for drugs they are having trouble getting. Insurers say they expect to have any remaining problems fixed in the next two weeks, although patient advocates are skeptical. And in response to the bipartisan outrage, House Republican leaders are considering a proposal, initially suggested by Democrats, to extend the deadline for signing up for the new benefit from May 15 to Dec. 31, a House G.O.P. aide tells TIME. The difficult transition...
...side. Anything that isn't written for Intel will be handled in the computer's background. You won't have any kind of "Classic" environment popping up. The catch is that a few of Apple's higher-end programs won't work this way, including Final Cut Pro, Motion, Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Aperture, Logic Pro, Logic Express, Shake and Final Cut Express. If you run any of those on a regular basis and plan to get an Intel-based Mac, you'll have to "crossgrade" to the new editions, due by the end of March...
...critters in question are favorites of scientists studying climate change. Quick and polychromatic, the frogs spend their days near stream banks, where their constant motion and vibrant hues make it easy for researchers to count them. Previous studies have shown that it's not heat alone that kills harlequins but also a pathogen--the chytrid fungus--that attacks their skin. The chytrid is actually a cool-weather organism, doing best at temperatures from 63°F to 77°F. Paradoxically, an effect of global warming is to increase cloud cover in the tropical forests, lowering daytime temperatures and making the frogs...
