James Berardinelli: "Like The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable,
Signs is not easily pigeonholed into a single genre. It gleefully crosses boundaries and defies classification. In many ways, it is Shyamalan's most accomplished film to date. Unlike The Sixth Sense, it doesn't rely on bamboozling the audience. And, irrespective of its flaws, Signs is more satisfying than Unbreakable. Despite the financial success of his two previous outings (combined, nearly $1 billion worldwide), no one is yet ready to reserve a place in the director's hall of fame for
Shyamalan, but, based on the evidence available in Signs, he is maturing nicely."

A.C. Douglas
writes, "I confess to finding myself mostly in agreement with these old-school journalists as well as with
Mr. O'Neill, and confess further to being more than a little annoyed by the conceit that blogging is in some way genuine journalism. It's of course nothing of the sort, unless journalism be defined in so broad a way as to render the term effectively meaningless except as a tag to distinguish it from scholarly writing, or from what is called "literary" writing."
I
still don't understand why
this is news.
"Lisa Leslie became the
first woman to dunk in a professional game Tuesday night, jamming on a breakaway in the first half of the Los Angeles Sparks' 82-73 loss to the Miami Sol. The 6-foot-5 center received an outlet pass from Latasha Byears, took two dribbles and dunked with one hand with 4:44 remaining before halftime. She smiled broadly and spread her arms wide as she raced back down the court."

"Big salaries (and victories) in New York
haven't hurt baseball; they've helped. This year, the Yanks - with exciting power-hitters like Jason Giambi and Alfonso Soriano - are on pace to top their own attendance record. But they also draw crowds when they go on the road, helping the home teams rake in the big bucks. And, by the way, fat salaries don't guarantee pennants. Just check the standings."
"U.S. intelligence analysts have been closely examining satellite images of the west bank of the Tigris River in Baghdad for signs of a laboratory rumored to exist there. Called Tahhaddy, or "Challenge," the lab is purported to have 85 employees and a top-secret mission:
making biological weapons for Iraq's military. Details about the lab have trickled out of Iraq in recent months in accounts from defectors and Iraqi exiles opposed to President Saddam Hussein. They tell of underground test chambers, heavy security and a viral strain code-named "Blue Nile," which sounds suspiciously like the Ebola virus."

"The majority of Microsoft's customers
won't be signing up for a controversial licensing plan set to go into effect on Thursday, according to analysts' estimates. The reason for stiff customer resistance is simple: cost. The plan, called Licensing 6, effectively raises volume-licensing fees from 33 percent to 107 percent, according to market researcher Gartner. Microsoft also eliminated the most popular means of buying upgrades, which allowed companies to pay when they wanted new software, rather than spend money in advance for software upgrades."

"The Recording Industry Association of America's Web site was

Reason to Rock - "The Beatles were to rock music what Louis Armstrong was to jazz. Both artists began by studying and thoroughly assimilating artists that had come before. By doing so, they essentially created their respective art forms, by combining what had previously been isolated characteristics of individual artists into cohesive approaches to music. And they both went on to symbolize and advance their respective art forms, having such monumental influences that it would be impossible for any later artists to be untouched by their work." (via

Jolie was his fifth wife. The fourth one, Pietra Dawn Thornton, didn't work out so well. In court papers, she accused him of going off his lithium because he said it made him "feel like a piece of driftwood." He also allegedly punched her in the eye while she was holding their 3-month-old son, told her she was pathetic, and threatened to kill her. Likewise, according to her complaint, he repeatedly pushed her, hit her, choked her, and, in an extremely bizarre twist, bit her eight times over a one-year period, "most frequently on my cheeks."
Here's an

"An unidentified 12-year-old

Cases of illness from amoebas are rare. There have been 20 to 30 cases in the United States, with the majority of cases reported in Florida. The environmental conditions in Florida lakes - especially in the hot summer months - are ideal for amoebas to thrive and proliferate."

"A military operation to remove Mr. Hussein, however, would be
the most momentous use of force by the United States since the Vietnam War. If President Bush undertakes such a mission, it will dominate the remainder of his term, radically reshape the politics of the Persian Gulf and Middle East, and have major repercussions for the global economy. Yet there has been little debate about the pros and cons of such a war." -

"Iraq is believed to have biological weapons including anthrax spores and botulinum poison, which causes botulism. As for chemical agents, Iraq is thought to possess mustard, tabun, sarin and possibly VX gases, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Those are what U.N. inspectors had found in significant amounts before they left Iraq in 1998 and were not allowed to return. Saddam's most likely targets would be Israel, any U.S. troops attacking Iraq and any rebel forces inside Iraq, the officials said."
