From Dark Victory to Patch Adams, Hollywood never found a cancer ward it couldn't spiff up, a death sentence that didn't have emotional uplift. In another new movie, The Savages, the issue ostensibly addressed is that of middle-aged siblings saddled with a cranky dad suffering from Alzheimer's ("Al What's-his-name's Disease," as a character says in the Tom Stoppard play Rock 'n' Roll). But that ordeal turns out to be the work of but a month, not decades - just long enough for the brother and sister to learn the cleansing importance of family...

And leakage can be avoided by assigning countrywide baselines for deforestation - a kind of emissions cap for forestry - so that projects can be judged on a national level; ensuring one patch of logging can't be replaced with another.

Mr. Pusar drops a layup, 13-14. 14:45 Block by Magnerelli on one end, Okereke walks on the other. Still 13-14. 13:30 Another three, this time from Strong, the team's leading scorer...
...closest I came to really quitting was in August, after I started getting stabbing pains in my leg. I went on the patch and had to stop drinking alcohol, coffee, and soda. I couldn’t eat proper meals because I always had a cigarette after a meal. I avoided hanging around any friends who smoked...
