...Which Oscar races do you expect to be most hotly contested? It has to be Best Actor and Best Actress. It's practically a toss-up between the top two in each category. For Best Actor, Mickey Rourke is the favorite at 6 to 5, while Sean Penn is the second choice at 7 to 5.

The Register's Iowa Poll also shows Obama leading by 23 points among all-important independent voters, who make up 32% of Iowa's 2.1 million registered voters (Democrats are 32%; Republicans, 28%.) Other recent polls put Obama ahead...
...seed in the tournament. Down 5-1 in the first set, Clayton succeeded in breaking back twice and forced Borta into a tiebreak, which Clayton seized. In the second, the tables were turned, as Borta stormed back to take the set in another close tiebreaker. The match was a toss-up at that point, but a persistent Clayton wore down his opponent with sharp angled shots and dominant rallies in the third set for a 7-6, 6-7, 6-3 win. “This match was the best Ivy League match that I have ever seen...
