...this effort Cody and Reitman are particularly blessed by Ellen Page's performance. She has a way of making her preternatural articulateness seem real rather than forced, a way of indicating her vulnerability without pressing us for sympathy. Hers is a lived-in character, perking along, tougher than she looks, naturally funnier in speech and outlook than she probably knows. Juno is not a great movie; it does not have aspirations in that direction. But it is, in its little way, a truthful, engaging and welcome entertainment...
...other U.S. officials acknowledge that the reversal in the NIE on Iran makes the challenge of selling the European piece of the U.S. missile shield, which expands on already existing missile-defense sites in Alaska and California, even tougher. The threat of the "mullahs' nukes" has been the mainstay of the case made by U.S. officials to justify the European missile-defense deployment.

"They have their own assessments of the risk posed by Iran and their own reasons for wanting...
...Timeout with 11:39 to play. Amaker is not happy with the team's performance so far. The squad is not getting out on the threes, but one has to think that it's only a matter of time before Boston starts missing some shots. Amaker definitely expects tougher D coming out of the timeout. We'll see if they can get McGreary a shot here as well. 11:06 Good D but Lowe gets an open bucket. McGreary counters with a wild thre attempt. Lowe makes another three at the other end. Bad start after the timeout...
