Online video has become a daily fix for millions of people. Now entrepreneurs are starting to cash in on that obsession. Consider Valentina Trevino. The 29-year-old Chicago artist and filmmaker regularly posts videos on YouTube, showing how she created a painting and what it means to her -- and musing quirkily on a host of matters. In one clip, she ruminates about the strange connection between the ballerinas in Edgar Degas's art and Britney Spears's custody battles. .
US 'doomed' if creationist president elected: scientists
In 2004, a Pennsylvania school district found itself at the center of a national storm after its education board voted to require that a statement on creationism be read to students when they began learning about evolution in science class.
The school board was ousted the following year.
"Science, Evolution and Creationism" targets the general public and teachers, and presents in simple terms the current scientific understanding of evolution and the importance of teaching it in the science classroom.
A day after his win in Iowa, Huckabee toned down his anti-evolution stance, saying in a television interview that the question of whether to teach creationism in schools was "not an issue for our president."

State Of State Highlights Governor Doyle's Hopes For Wisconsin
Saying challenging days ahead will require "deep cuts and hard sacrifices," Governor Jim Doyle outlined a plan tonight of targeted tax breaks and a new health insurance pool for small businesses. It's all designed to blunt effects that a national economic downturn will have on Wisconsin. But Doyle's ability to follow through on the agenda outlined in his State of the State speech will be complicated by the divided Legislature and the state's economy which continues to show signs of weakening. The Democratic governor is pushing a variety of economic development proposals targeting the state's small businesses, agricultural community and manufacturing sector. He is not advocating any type of income tax cut for individuals or a sales tax reduction. Many of the ideas he is touting originated with Republican lawmakers, helping their chances in the Assembly but posing a potential problem in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Reality Is Totally Different’: Iraqis on ‘Success’ and ...
If Republican presidential candidate John McCain has anything to say about it, the occupation may never end. On January 7th, he assured reporters that he was more than fine with the idea of the U.S. military remaining in Iraq for 100 years. "We've been in Japan for 60 years. We've been in South Korea 50 years or so… As long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed. That's fine with me." He said nothing, of course, about Iraqis "injured or harmed or wounded or killed." In fact, amid the flurries of words, accusations, and "debates" which have filled the airways and add up to the primary-season presidential campaign, there has been a near thunderous silence on Iraq lately — and especially on Iraqis. A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll indicated that 64% of Americans now feel the war in Iraq was not worth fighting.
Schools paid mystery company $320,279, records show
Definitive Concepts Company Inc. isn't listed in state incorporation records. It's not in local phone directories. Its billing address is a post office box. Yet the company collected $320,279 from Detroit Public Schools in the past year, according to a list of district vendors obtained under the state Freedom of Information Act. .
RIGHTS-US: Legal Community Condemns Destruction of CIA Tapes
She said, "There are some five million missing White House e-mails. No one knows where the hit lists are from the U.S. Attorney massacre. And now the CIA interrogation videotapes have been erased. This is criminal."
"Remember when the Justice Department prosecuted Enron and Arthur Anderson for destruction of evidence and obstruction of justice? Now the Justice Department is trying to block congressional oversight and legal proceedings involving this latest scandal," Radack added.
Radacks comments came during the launch of a new campaign, "American Lawyers Defending the Constitution." The effort is backed by a statement signed by more than 1,300 lawyers and law students around the country, including former New York governor Mario Cuomo, former Reagan administration official Bruce Fein, leaders of legal organisations and more than 100 law professors in the U.S.
PEARSON: In new 'Stone,' comedy meets the inexplicable
And that mission? In the first episode, it's to make peace with his dead father. In subsequent episodes, it includes fighting deportation on behalf of two illegal immigrants. Needless to say, Eli's boss at the upscale law firm (Alias' Victor Garber) is perplexed. The firm represents major business interests. Now Eli wants to sue one of their bread-and-butter clients? There's also the boss' daughter - Eli's fiancee - a woefully underused Natasha Henstridge. When they're making out on the couch and Eli suddenly imagines them surrounded by a war zone, she gets freaked out. You want to hear music at amorous times, fine. You want to see grenades fragmenting, no dice. For comic relief, there's Loretta Devine as Eli's sassy secretary, Patti. She hates his fiancee and takes it personally when she learns of his illness from someone else.
Huckabee, but not yet
Just waiting for elections until I start wailing or making whoopee over the President. This caucus carrying-on is fun for Iowa where things are pretty slow. Probably improves their economy also. Do you think we would get all this millions-of-brouhaha to take place in Georgia? Our weather is better. .
