...trimmed 120 hours of footage to 111 minutes. Is the 111 some Michael numerology thing or purely a Mayan sign of the apocalypse? That's fun. I do like that number. Michael was the one and No. 1. I'm going to put that on my Twitter. Everywhere I look, there's meaning being read into it. People can't help themselves when it comes to Michael Jackson...
...just so happens that Mexico makes a great deal of sense because it's closer [to the U.S.]," says DeAngelis.

They downplay the risks of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. And they make a habit of referring to any climate scientist who expresses fear over a warmer future as a "doomsayer" - a bit of a loaded term...
...best way to slow the growth of those numbers would be to rapidly manufacture and distribute the new H1N1 vaccine.

"Vaccine production is much less predictable than we wish," says Frieden. "We are nowhere near where we thought...
...want the last nuclear weapons that are stationed in Germany to be taken away," Westerwelle said at the conclusion of the coalition talks on Saturday. The U.S. doesn't disclose the exact number of nuclear warheads it still keeps in Germany, a legacy of its Cold War policy that dates back to the 1950s, and which made western Germany the frontline of its Soviet containment strategy. But German sources estimate there could be as many as 20 nukes still in the country. (See a profile of Guido Westerwelle...
