...visualization of the Rowling cosmos. Screenwriter Steve Kloves (his fifth Potter script) and director David Yates, the BBC veteran (State of Play, Sex Traffic) who also helmed Order of the Phoenix, concoct a potent brew of horror and romance, in which the supercool special effects - notably a swoopy-cam ride with the Death Eaters as they soar over London's monuments and through its creepiest streets - never obscure a commitment to the book's central theme. True to Rowling's portrayal of the teen experience, the film is almost wholly occupied with school: the business of getting good grades (sometimes...
...what Sotomayor meant, we can look to that pop-cultural repository of Latino wisdom, Edward James Olmos. In the 1997 biopic Selena, there is an eye-rolling Latino Studies 101 moment in which Olmos, playing Selena's dad, talks about how difficult it is to ride the divide between Latino and American in the United States.

Those eager to trance out amid the swirls of gold, gray and pink can sit and do so, as the curators have created a small, triangular, chapel-like space with the paintings, a knowing nod to the Rothko Chapel, the contemplation space...

After a roller-coaster ride that has sent oil prices from a record high of $147 per bbl. last July to below $35 in December and back to around $60, there has been a clamor to clamp down on speculators - those investors who trade oil but don't ultimately supply it or use it (the way airlines do, for instance). The economic disruption caused by oil's volatility has been so vexing that the Obama Administration believes it can stabilize prices by regulating speculators out of the market...
...degree is now a way to make a difference," she said. "Some people see the MBA as a way to ride out the financial crisis, but they will learn broader skills and gain different attitudes. The world will look different when it comes back [from recession], and [students] will be equipped for new industries...
