...human population is depleted, there's worldwide panic, a run on the blood bank, with no bailout in sight...unless Bromley Marks, one of the major blood-supplying companies - Big Farma - can develop a blood substitute. The vampires are addicts; and if real blood is their heroin, this would be their methadone. Leading the experiment is Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke), Bromley Marks' chief hematologist. But Edward doesn't have his heart in his work. When his younger brother Frankie (Michael Dorman), a soldier in the vampire army, brings him a birthday bottle of vintage blood (sang-real-a?), Edward snaps...
...remains The Blind Side, the sports-inspirational drama starring Sandra Bullock. Still in the top seven after eight weeks of release, the movie has now earned $219.2 million on a $29 million budget. It's now the all-time top grosser in the based-on-a-true-story genre (unless you count The Passion of the Christ). At the moment it trails only E.T., the first Narnia saga, New Moon, Twister and My Big Fat Greek Wedding among movies with a woman as the top-billed performer - and Bullock is the only lead actress in those films with real star...
Meanwhile, even if negotiators reach a START agreement, it will still require ratification in the U.S. Senate. And in a recent letter, 40 Republican Senators and independent Joe Lieberman suggested that they would not support the agreement unless Obama pledged to allocate money to "modernize" America's nuclear arsenal - that is to say, refurbish old warheads and potentially build new ones. That decision, in turn, hinges on the findings of Obama's "Nuclear Posture Review," in which the President will decide the nuclear forces he feels the U.S. needs to maintain in order to remain secure...
...recommends for resisting those cravings is called "urge-surfing." It involves being mindful of the fact that craving is like a wave - it rises to a peak, then falls. This happens whether you yield to the urge or not, though most people erroneously think their craving will escalate endlessly unless they give in. In fact, succumbing to cravings only reinforces them - resisting, in contrast, reinforces resistance. Marlatt advises watching your urge, noting its peak and "surfing" it, rather than allowing it to wipe...
...John Haglelgam, who served as President of FSM from 1987-1991 and is now a history professor at the College of Micronesia, says FSM soldiers are being shortchanged. They cannot become commissioned officers unless they become U.S. citizens, a step many soldiers are hesitant to take because it would mean renouncing their FSM citizenship, which, among other things, would prevent them from owning land upon returning home. And although FSM veterans receive the same benefits as their U.S. counterparts, they aren't much use to those living on isolated atolls who don't frequently go to hospitals because the trip...
