India media pour scorn on Harbhajan Singh's racism charge
The Indian media have reacted with fury after spinner Harbhajan Singh was suspended for three Tests after being found guilty of racially abusing Andrew Symonds during the second Test match. Harbhajan has denied the claims - that he called the all-rounder a "monkey" - and India have halted their tour of Australia with two matches of the four-Test series still to play while they appeal against the suspension. Newspapers in India have been quick to go on the offensive, accusing Australia of double standards over the matter. The Hindustan Times quotes an unnamed senior India player as saying the Australia team "cheats and lies quite blatantly". .
Romney neglects secular faith Mitt Romney urges tolerance of religions ...
Please, people, look up the word religion; it doesn't always mean church. It'll solve a lot of your dimmed understanding.Versus the majority of the sleaze running on both sides...Romney's miles ahead. The only one close in actual character to Romney is Huckabee, but he has the nasty habit of fuloughing the worst of killers and rapists and supporting illegal aliens at the expense of those that enter legally through the front door--which will quickly kill his campaign.Joel vainly tried his best to "impartially" critique Romney's historical speech, but, yes, it's a bit like a kindergartner giving a review of Ernest Hemingway. .
Weighty Mo. man wins custody of child
He underwent gastric bypass surgery in August and has lost about 200 pounds. Last month, O'Malley gave the Stocklaufers temporary custody of the child, named Max, and said the decision by another judge to remove the boy from their home over the summer had nothing to do with Gary Stocklaufer's weight. The judge said it was because the couple did not follow proper procedures when moving the child into Missouri from another state. In his ruling Monday, O'Malley said it is "in the child's best interest" that the Stocklaufers "be permitted to adopt him." The judge ordered the other couple to transfer the child Monday at a private location that the two families agreed on. The Stocklaufers can "proceed to pursue an adoption of the child when sufficient time has passed," O'Malley said.
Spurs Notebook: Johnson makes move from Austin to NBA
For the third time in four days Saturday, the Spurs went swingman shopping in Austin. This time, they came home with DerMarr Johnson. Hoping to bring some experienced depth to a wing position wracked by injury, the Spurs lifted Johnson from their Developmental League affiliate, the Austin Toros. Johnson, a 27-year-old NBA journeyman whose career was sidetracked by a 2002 auto accident, should help stabilize the Spurs' guard rotation with Manu Ginobili and Brent Barry out. To make room for him, the Spurs waived rookie Marcus Williams, another former Toro, four days after signing him. "It's a relief," said Johnson, who spent the past three seasons in Denver before winding up in the Developmental League. "This is was what I was waiting on.
'Life's stories'
Emerging filmmakers of all ages are working more prevalently than ever in the nonfiction arena. The reasons are varied but certainly there is a larger market, more opportunities for distribution and a greater willingness on the part of the public to seek out new life, new civilizations and to boldly go where no filmmaker has gone before. Or, at least, that’s the impression.Where is this new breed of rabble-rouser coming from?The Master of Fine Arts Graduate Program at the University of North Texas for one.Levin has been a frequent visitor to Taos with his wife, Melinda, who also is its department chairwoman. Levin said he has always admired the creative community here and vowed that someday he’d like to share with it the work his students have been producing. That time has come.He said he’s particularly proud that two films by UNT students were among the eight finalists competing for the top documentary prize at NextFrame last August.
