...doesn't understand why she doesn't use the old masters. He was a little ticked about it. I think his feelings were hurt. And then he got a lot of flak for what he said, and then he went on The View to try to make nice. And he tried to backpedal. But you know, his feelings were hurt. He has dressed many, many First Ladies. I think he'd like to dress her. (See photos: "Michelle Obama's Fashion Diplomacy...
...engaged in by the 16-year-olds has a chaste, comic choreography, as if kissing were a minuet of locked lips. When Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and his pal Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) talk furtively about the girls they're mad for, it's to acknowledge vaguely that they have "nice skin." And when our hero's notoriety makes the Hogwarts girls just wild about Harry, his friend-girl Hermione (Emma Watson) can't suppress a little sulfur puff of rancor.

Arriving uninvited and unannounced in the middle of the night, he is wildly enthusiastic, proclaiming his love for Ben with ferocious bear hugs and many "I love you, man"s. Anna he waggles his finger at, telling her, "And you. I don't love you yet, but I will." (This might be a threat.) Her eyebrows arch delicately, conveying not just mild horror but consternation over her own reaction. She knows she's too cool to be ruffled and jealous...
...biggest individual carbon emitters. And the study doesn't take into account the carbon that is embedded in imports and exports in global trade. But big developing nations like China - with its rising middle class - won't be let off the hook either. "We think this represents a nice path for distributing the share of the work of cutting emissions between countries," says Chakravarty. The Copenhagen negotiations will be hard fought, but the Princeton paper offers hope that we can find a fair way to climate justice, when every person on the planet will have their fair share...
