Directed by Jim Sheridan Paramount Pictures 2 stars Sitting in the theater with my hood up and the Gs on my G Unit sneakers still spinning, I was prepared to enjoy the best film of the year. “Get Rich or Die Tryin’,” 50 Cent’s semi-autobiographical tale of rags-to-rap-stardom, promised everything that I look for in a film: drug-dealing, thugged-out raptors (rapper/actor), and a banging hip-hop soundtrack.

Azahari Husin's luck finallyran out. After three years on the run in Indonesia, the master bombmaker--who on several occasions slipped away just before police showed up--was killed last week when a U.S.-trained antiterrorism unit raided a house he had rented in the mountain resort town of Batu in East Java.

There, after another brief consultation, a psychiatrist diagnosed Beddoe with postnatal depression and suggested she start on Zoloft right away. This time, she relented. A week later, she was in hospital, waiting in good spirits for a group-therapy session, when something happened. She suddenly couldn't breathe and her heart was pounding. The walls seemed to be closing in. She thought...
...punt on four attempts against the Quakers. Harvard employed a somewhat unique style for much of the game—McDavid would field the snap, roll right or left, and then kick the punt on the move. The strategy appeared to work, as both McDavid and the coverage unit performed well. The Quakers’ Adam Francks only attempted to return two of the punts for a total of five yards. THIRD AND THREE Junior running back Clifton Dawson’s 105 yards rushing on Saturday gave him 1,011 for the year, making him the only player...
