| VIDEO: American Apparel Swaps Sex for Politics
Only now he has moved them to his main focus. Charney is not afraid of controversial publicity. Let me be clear about who makes our clothing. This is cooperation between people born in America and those who were not born here. I do not think that supporting immigration is bad for the brand, in fact, it looks like we are doing a responsible job, said Charney who exports to Asia, and not from it. Take a look at the video about American Apparel HERE. .
Ron Paul's one-night stand
Jared speculated that for every one person who joins Republicans and quickly bolts after the caucus, there will be several who will stay. So it's a net, long-term gain to bring new folks into the fold, he said. So how much of a movement does Paul have underneath the numbers captured by traditional polling? Nobody knows. "Anything new moving in that we're attracting is not being measured in that," Jared said. (Contact M.E. Sprengelmeyer at sprengelmeyerm@shns.com) .

Farrell proves that he is capable of more than just being a broody pretty boy and is capable of humor and light emotional depth. While Gleeson continues with his solid acting career, he is the film's emotional rock, completing the Laurel-and-Hardy dynamic between him and Farrell. Both do what they can with the script, but even their acting abilities cannot keep the pace of the film up. It is not until Fiennes shows up as Ken and Ray's disgruntled boss and starts to chew the scenery that the film truly starts to gain some amount of momentum in the final acts. Unfortunately, the film's remaining minutes hits the viewer over the head with the heavy-handed dichotomy between the fairy tale land of Bruges and brutish lifestyle of these three men. A village shoot-out occurs amid medieval buildings, fog and numerous people dressed in costumes, making for an actual fairy tale look.
THE MIRROR: Point and Counterpoint (Browne)
College males have it hard, especially at Dartmouth. Hanover is not really what you'd call the dating hotspot of the Lake Sunapee region, so avenues to meet those women you want to take home to mom are limited. Luckily for Dartmouth men, there is still one avenue where guys can meet ladies and show off their skills. This avenue, my friends, is the dance party. In 2003 Dane Cook uttered the phrase, "Dude, I just wanna dance." When he said this, Dartmouth men everywhere stood up and cheered. Not only do Dartmouth guys love the dance party, but we also know how to treat a lady on the dance floor. For all the men out there who aren't avid dance party–goers and don't know the codes of conduct, take what I say as scripture. And just for everyone's information, the tips I'm giving are not just my observations, but also extensive research of reading over 100 Dartmouth women's diaries and Xanga profiles.
Responding to the Jack Lynch Non-Story
Facts do not equal truth, and if you want to argue the position that they do, you will likely feel as if you won, but truth will have lost. It is a fact that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and we can make all sorts of observations about this and make claims such as "the sun rotates around the earth" or "we are the center of the universe." More exploration, however, tells us that not only does the earth actually rotate around the sun, but the illusion of the sun's rotation originates with our planet spinning on our own axis. In general, newspaper work doesn't require this much exploration or science, and I would hope the Spokesman-Review would care more about whether they can be as accurate as possible more than they do about whether they can claim dibs on being the first to report on a topic.

Tioga DA asks appellate court to reinstate Harris verdict
Tioga County District Attorney Gerald Keene has asked a state court to reinstate a guilty verdict against Calvin Harris. On Wednesday, Keene mailed a 33-page brief to the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court, arguing that the judge's decision to throw out the second-degree murder verdict against the Tioga County businessman was incorrect, the district attorney said Friday. Keene declined to discuss the specifics of the argument laid out in the appeal. "The argument is that Judge Smith committed an error by setting aside the verdict," Keene said. The appellate court could reinstate the guilty verdict, or it could uphold Judge Martin Smith's ruling. If that ruling is upheld, Harris would be re-tried, Keene said. Harris, 46, was convicted last summer of killing his estranged wife, Michele, who disappeared in 2001.
Tassie basks in $15m cruise boom
A RECORD cruise ship season in Tasmania will bring a predicted $15 million tourism windfall for the state, more than double last year's figure. The eighth cruise ship of the season, the Mercury, arrives on Friday. There will be 47 vessel-visits at eight ports statewide, 26 of them calling at Hobart. It is estimated the ships will bring a total of nearly 100,000 visitors statewide. Tasmanian Ports Corporation marketing executive manager Charles Scarafiotti said the annual cruise ship season had experienced "extremely healthy growth" in recent years. "We started working on this industry 10 years ago -- then it was the Marine Board -- then Hobart Ports took the lead in marketing the state to cruise ships and in a decade it has grown substantially," he said. "Part of our marketing with the cruise ships has been to sell the destination and, in doing that, we have created a coastal cruising itinerary." Visits are being made to islands, as well as popular cruise stops such as Port Arthur, Wineglass Bay and Coles Bay.

His death in October leaves a huge vacancy that the Haga-Press can only hope will never be duplicated in the future. Rankin as a Kootenai county commissioner and as an ombudsman for the citizens of the county for dozens of years was never appreciated by Duane Hagadone or the editors of his newspaper as he often held their feet to the fire on issues vital to the public. That the Coeur dAlene Press now chooses to omit any mention of his passing in their top stories of 2004 is a badge of honor that Ron Rankin continues to wear. John Rook
