...swine flu cases rose on Friday - with 141 confirmed cases in the U.S., 397 in Mexico, including 16 deaths, and the first case confirmed in Asia - the strongly held consensus among health officials remains that borders should not be closed. (Americans are advised, however, to avoid nonessential travel to Mexico.) Grounding travel would do nothing to stave off a full-fledged pandemic and, despite any ill-considered advice from Vice President Joe Biden, there's no risk for a healthy person in the U.S. to take mass transportation, but the truth is that many travelers these days are still feeling...
...robust numbers enjoyed by new and older movies shows that Hollywood knows how to please a recession audience. Though fewer studio films were released in Jan.-Apr. 2009, the North American box-office numbers rose 16%, and attendance 14%.

So far his partners have been film historian and glamour gal Molly Haskell, writer-actress Carrie Fisher, actress Rose McGowen and multimedia bad-boy/cool-guy Alec Baldwin. The taping must be an ordeal for the guests - Molly told me that her 31 intros and wrapups were recorded in a day and a half - but it often provides surprising insights into the films...
...games. It has played 7 overtimes, the previous record was 4. Heroic performances and huge moments have been a staple in this series. Game 6 alone included Joakim Noah's epic steal and dunk, Ray Allen's antics, which included several ridiculous shots and 51 points, and Derrick Rose's game-sealing block, which was one of the finer feats of athleticism FlyBy has ever seen. This was all in one game, folks. All games other than #2 include equally ridiculous and pressure packed moments. You don't wanna miss Game...
