Name the Catch finalists
Your readers obviously have more mental capacity than your so-called "panel of experts" at the Daily News. The significance of the Super Bowl catch was the fact that Tyree used his head to secure the ball - this quality should definitely be prominent in the catchphrase. The only entry in your top five that suggests this is "The Hat Trick", but this title makes every educated sports fan think of hockey. The obvious winning choice is the "Cranium Cling" Catch (submitted by me - February 28, 2008; 11:58 a.m. - too bad you guys didn't get past the first 100 entries). The word "cranium" is a unique, appealing synonym for "head" and the word "cling" is a perfect word to describe the fashion in which Tyree secured the ball as he went down (it also brings to mind the phrase, "cling to victory" which is also perfectly suitable to the situation).
Taking the leap: Feb. 29 is becoming the big day for couples
Miller, 45, is still tweaking the fine print. "Well, yes, we'll do a big celebration every four years, but in between those years, we'll do something small and special, either Feb. 28 or March 1," Miller says with a wink in her tone. Tammy Degroot, a file clerk in the Macomb County Clerk's office, says the anniversary date question has even come up with the couples she's helped. "I had a bride ask, 'When do we celebrate our anniversary?' and I told her that was up to her and her husband-to-be. I think that's the point. You get to choose," Degroot says. Mary Green, who co-owns Victoria Wedding Chapel in Waterford Township, tells a similar tale. "Four years ago, I had a bride get married on Leap Day and just before she walked down the aisle, she turned to me in a mild panic and said 'Wait a minute.
Hooked on technology
She also loves using her digital still cameras and has several video cameras, from a DVD camcorder to outdated tape-based models. Clinical psychologist Roni Kabillo has treated several people who have had addictive relationships with computers and online games, some of whom have spent up to 16 hours a day playing online games such as World of Warcraft and RuneScape. "In the cases I'm familiar with, it's entirely to do with internet, interactive online games of a particular variety, where you have a character and you develop your character through various challenges," he says. Dr Kabillo says there is a fine line between healthy online game playing and internet addiction, but believes there are some clear signs of compulsive behaviour. "I think in this category addiction would be where you're really not exercising other forms of socialisation." Dr Kabillo has found that addiction to online gaming is more common among young men, particularly among those who are uncomfortable in social settings.
Terrorist's case shows Yemen's flexible justice
Jaber Elbaneh has been one of the FBI's most-wanted terrorist suspects ever since he escaped from a high-security prison two years ago in Sana, the capital of Yemen. So when Elbaneh, a 41-year-old American citizen, walked freely into a Yemeni courthouse where his conviction was being appealed Feb. 23 , the judge and the prosecutor were stunned. They asked him to show identification, which he did. Then the broad-shouldered, bearded convict - who is accused by American prosecutors of providing support to Al Qaeda - surprised them again: He gave a speech. "I've been sentenced to 10 years in this case, and three years in another," he said. "But it's wrong; I haven't committed any crimes in this country or the United States." He added that after his prison escape he surrendered directly to Yemen's president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who absolved him of any more jail time.
The Wisdom of the Chaperones
These pages look a lot like Google News search results—a collection of news articles and blog posts from the past day that match your interest. The matches aren't based on exact keywords, but rather on a more complex word-math algorithm that can figure out that a post about Carly Smithson matches my American Idol interest. Persai won me over immediately because it's an anti-social network: It ignores everything and everyone on the Internet except for what I want to read. Rather than presume I'm like other people, Persai tracks my unique reading habits and, more importantly, remembers what I don't want. Telling the program I don't like something is as simple as clicking a red X labeled "reject." Persai notes which news articles and blog posts I despise, then filters out others like them by doing more math on what words show up in the articles and where they appear.
McCain seen as Republican choice
If anyone bothers to learn about the rise and fall of the political honeymoon of the just retired ex-President of South Korea, you will be astounded. President Roh was elected in 2002 by astonishing landslide. A relative new comer and novice administrator, Roh was supported mainly by enthusiastic young voters who were dying for "change" of all the old systems and old politics. Roh promised hope for change. They young supporters used all kinds of digital methods to urge each other to vote and spreading the message to all others to go out to vote. He won. The "conservatives" were shocked. He employed lots of so nicknamed "boy scouts" for his inner circle, all wide-eyed idealists who vowed to turn Korea upside down, inside out by trying to make changes. The result was miserable. Roh was even abandoned by his own ruling party which itself split into two different parties.
