Six years on -- and with six kids in tow -- Angelina Jolie is hotter than ever for her man Brad Pitt.

"I am very lucky with Brad," Jolie, nearly 36, tells Britain's The Telegraph in an extensive new interview. "He is a real gentleman, but he is also a real man's man," she gushes of Pitt, 47
"He's got the wonderful balance of being an extraordinary, great, loving father, a very, very intelligent man and physically he's a real man ... in all things that it means," she adds, blushing to the reporter.

"I love being a woman," she said. "I love that I can have children. I love feeling soft, I love being with Brad, I love all the sensitivity and natural emotion."

Pitt fueled new rumors of an impending wedding in a recent interview. "The kids ask about marriage," he said. "It's meaning more and more to them. So it's something we've got to look at."

At the premiere of her new film 'Love, Marriage, Wedding,' Jane Seymour found herself speculating about the break-up of Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger. She said she thought Schwarzengger was father to at least two more out-of-wedlock children, and predicted more information would soon surface. Friday on 'The View,' Seymour apologized for the remarks, and said she hoped she didn't add to the family's pain.

Unknown hackers have broken into the security networks of Lockheed Martin Corp and several other U.S. military contractors, a source with direct knowledge of the attacks told Reuters.

They breached security systems designed to keep out intruders by creating duplicates to "SecurID" electronic keys from EMC Corp's RSA security division, said the person who was not authorized to publicly discuss the matter.

It was not immediately clear what kind of data, if any, was stolen by the hackers. But the networks of Lockheed and other military contractors contain sensitive data on future weapons systems as well as military technology currently used in battles in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Republican-led House of Representatives voted on Monday to extend expiring surveillance provisions of the anti-terrorism Patriot Act, overcoming unanticipated early opposition.

On a largely party-line vote of 275-144 vote, the House sent the measure -- a proposed nine-month renewal of three provisions set to expire in two weeks -- to the Democratic-led Senate for consideration.

The action came a week after House Republican leaders failed to get the bill approved under a fast-track approach normally reserved for non-controversial issues.

They came up seven votes short of the needed two-thirds majority because of the unexpected scope of opposition that included 26 Republicans, a number of whom are backed by the anti-establishment Tea Party, and 122 Democrats. Foes complained the provisions amount to a federal over reach.

Initial defeat surprised Republican leaders and forced them to bring the bill back under normal procedures that require just a simple majority to prevail but takes more time.

Some analysts saw race as referendum on Republican plan to transform Medicare program

In a special House election carefully watched by national political strategists, Democrat Kathy Hochul won what had been a Republican seat Tuesday in upstate New York, lifting Democrats’ hopes for the 2012 campaign.

As her campaign’s centerpiece, Hochul attacked changes in the Medicare program proposed by House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan.

“I will fight any plan that tries to decimate Medicare — that is something people in this district feel passionately about and I do as well,” Hochul said in a debate last week with Republican opponent Jane Corwin, who supported the Ryan budget plan.

With about 90 percent of the precincts reporting, Hochul had 48 percent and Corwin 42 percent. Also on the ballot was a Democrat-turned-Tea Party candidate, Jack Davis, who polled 9 percent.

Celebrating victory, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman Rep. Steve Israel said, "Even in one of the most Republican districts, seniors and independent voters rejected the Republican plan to end Medicare."

There will be two more special House elections this year to fill vacancies, one in California in July, for a seat held by Democrat Jane Harman, and another in Nevada in September for the seat vacated by Republican Dean Heller, who he was appointed to the Senate to replace John Ensign.

Where Republican stood on Ryan plan
Corwin accused Hochul of using “a political scare tactic” to panic voters about the Ryan plan.

Vocal cord issues and all, Lauren Alaina stages valiant comeback, but things get a little weird

The performance round of the "American Idol" finale is upon us. We've had a good time getting to this point, I think. I hope everyone remembered that the finale starts tonight and not tomorrow night. You might accidentally watch the final results show! Do these performances even have that much bearing on the final result?

Not to be all Randy Jackson about it but at this point, I think it's still anyone's game. For a long time, I've been thinking Scotty had it in the bag, but after watching a lot of both of their performances (and duets together), I've realized that Lauren is a formidable opponent. They're both really good. And when was the last time we had such a wholesome pair of finalists? Without going too deep into theories, I wonder if the finale will have fewer votes than last week, when Haley was still around. You know, before a bunch of people decided they wouldn't bother even watching the finale.

In the television series often shows the times of unimaginable healing, but it does happen if such miracles of medicine in this life? In fact, such cases were all of them with success could be the subject of the next series, but the fact that they are absolutely true, makes them even more value.

House Budget chairman not running for president, but 'you never know what opportunities present themselves way down the road'

House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan, R- Wisc., said on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday that he was disappointed by the decision of Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels to not run for the Republican presidential nomination.

Ryan left only the slimmest chance that he himself might run, or accept a draft.

“It’s not my plan” to run, he told NBC’s David Gregory. “I’m not going to get into all these hypotheticals for the future. My point is: I’m not running for running for president. You never know what opportunities present themselves way down the road.”

Ryan has been driving the fiscal debate in Washington with his plan to cut federal debt and fundamentally redesign Medicare and Medicaid, the two entitlement programs that now account for more than one-fifth of federal spending.

Arguing that the plan, passed by the House last month, imposes too heavy a burden on older Americans, Democrats see it as a huge liability for Republicans in the 2012 campaign.

Gingrich comment 'a gross mischaracterization'
As he has for weeks, Ryan again gave a vigorous defense of his proposal, saying it would avert a debt crisis.

He said the criticism of his plan voiced last week on Meet the Press by GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich was “deeply inaccurate” and “a gross mischaracterization of the House Republican budget plan.”

Last week, Gingrich denounced the Ryan plan as “right-wing social engineering,” but, in the face of furious criticism from Republicans, recanted that statement and eventually tried to claim he hadn’t really been referring to Ryan’s proposal.

After Rob Summers was paralyzed below the chest in a car accident in 2006, his doctors told him he would never stand again. They were wrong.

Despite intensive physical therapy for three years, Summers' condition hadn't improved. So in 2009, doctors implanted an electrical stimulator onto the lining of his spinal cord to try waking up his damaged nervous system. Within days, Summers, 25, stood without help. Months later, he wiggled his toes, moved his knees, ankles and hips, and was able to take a few steps on a treadmill.

"It was the most incredible feeling," said Summers, of Portland, Oregon. "After not being able to move for four years, I thought things could finally change."

Still, despite his renewed optimism, Summers can't stand when he's not in a therapy session with the stimulator turned on, and he normally gets around in a wheelchair. Doctors are currently limiting his use of the device, made by Minneapolis-based Medtronic, Inc., to several hours at a time.

His case is described in a paper published Friday in the journal, Lancet. The research was paid for by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.

For years, certain people with incomplete spinal cord injuries, who have some control of their limbs, have experienced some improvement after experiments to electrically stimulate their muscles. But such progress had not been seen before in someone with a complete spinal cord injury.

A man suspected of being one of the two assailants in the brutal beating of Giants fan Bryan Stow at Dodger Stadium was taken into custody early Sunday morning, Los Angeles police sources say.

At about 7 a.m. PT, the Los Angeles Police Department SWAT team descended on an East Hollywood apartment building with a warrant in hand. According to apartment building manager Maritza Camacho, police, using loudspeakers and with guns drawn, called out to the occupants of Apartment 25. Inside was one of the men police suspect in the March 31 beating that left Stow with brain damage.

As residents of the three-story building stood watching from balconies, police removed, one by one, the people who were inside the apartment, according to Camacho. Among them was a man with a bald head and tattoos on his neck and arms, she said, a description that appeared to match the vague sketches released by police of one of the two suspects. She added that he did not appear to resist being taken into custody.

Several police sources confirmed that the man taken into custody was one of the two suspects in the beating.

Police officials declined to give details, including the name of the suspect, saying only that the investigation was ongoing.

Grimsvotn eruption not expected to have same effect as 2010 Eyjafjallajokull eruptions
More than a year after an Icelandic volcano wreaked havoc for millions of air travelers across the globe, a new eruption has spewed an ash plume 12 miles in the air. Iceland's airports have been shut down, and ash could affect Europe later this week.

Ash could reach northern Scotland by Tuesday and parts of Britain, France and Spain by Thursday or Friday if the eruption continues at the same intensity, airlines were warned on Sunday.

The warning is based on the latest 5-day weather forecasts, but is being treated cautiously because of uncertainties over the way the volcano will behave and interact with the weather.

The Grimsvotn (GREEMSH-votn) volcano, which lies beneath the ice of the uninhabited Vatnajokull glacier in southeast Iceland, began erupting Saturday for the first time since 2004, sending ash, smoke and steam 12 miles into the air.

It was the volcano's largest eruption in 100 years.

Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger put his movie comeback on hold Thursday as he deals with fallout from his affair with his housekeeper and braces for what could be a costly divorce.

A statement from Schwarzenegger's office said the former "Terminator" star has asked his talent agency to put all his motion picture projects that are currently under way or being negotiated on hold until further notice.

"Gov. Schwarzenegger is focusing on personal matters and is not willing to commit to any production schedules or timelines," the statement said. "This includes `Cry Macho,' the `Terminator' franchise and other projects under consideration. We will resume discussions when Gov. Schwarzenegger decides."

The revelation that Schwarzenegger fathered a child with his housekeeper also set the stage for what could be a big-money divorce case that will stand out even in a city that has seen its share of made-for-the-tabloid s matrimonial splits.

His wife, Maria Shriver, the Kennedy heiress and former network TV anchor, stands to cash in big time financially, according to several prominent divorce attorneys. Although, California is a no-fault divorce state, meaning her husband's acknowledged philandering technically can't be used against him in court, the reality, attorneys say, is that it will be.

Prince William and his new wife Catherine hired a $3.2 million yacht for a treasure islands tour of The Seychelles, The Sun reported Tuesday.

The royal honeymooners spent a day cruising between former pirate hideouts Praslin and La Digue. A source said, "It may be The Seychelles but the area is like something out of 'Pirates of the Caribbean.' There are tropical swamps and the most spectacular wildlife you can imagine."

The plush boat -- named Sea Stream -- costs $42,000 a week to hire, can do top speeds of nearly 40mph and comes equipped with its own jet skis and scuba-diving gear.

The couple dined on sushi, Parma ham and other delicacies during their stay on the 2006 Ferretti motor yacht -- said to be the fastest luxury crewed boat for rent in the paradise island group.

The day out came amid the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's ten-day honeymoon at a secret island in the Indian Ocean archipelago. They were married in London's Westminster Abbey on April 29.

Fans won't have to say goodbye to The Oprah Winfrey Show until next week's May 25 finale, but it was the beginning of the end for Lady O on Tuesday as she taped her final two episodes before the series ender. News outlets including The Hollywood Reporter and Entertainment Weekly were on hand to witness the festivities, the celebrity guests and maybe even walk away with a few of the TV host's Favorite Things. We've compiled the six biggest spoilers from the Internet so, in case you need one more reminder, spoiler alert!

1. "The biggest stars on the planet": Shortly before the show started, a narrator promised help from "some of the biggest stars on the planet," and Oprah delivered. With more star power than most awards shows, the guest list included Tom Cruise, Halle Berry, Rosie O'Donnell, Wanda Sykes, Katie Holmes, Tyler Perry, Diane Sawyer, Maya Angelou, Dave Chappelle, Queen Latifah, Jay-Z, Dakota Fanning (a self-proclaimed "Oprah baby") and a surprise visit from Madonna.

What's up with Wal-Mart's US sales slump? Rising gas prices are adding another obstacle to Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s campaign to reverse a two-year U.S. sales slump.

Robust overseas business and expense cutting helped Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s net income rise 3 percent in the first quarter, beating Wall Street expectations. But business at home is still soft for the world's largest retailer even as it rushes to restock shelves with groceries and other items it scrapped while trying to clean up its stores.

Wal-Mart shoppers are already strained by weak job and housing markets. Now customers are consolidating shopping trips to save money on gas, a sign they're being squeezed tighter.


U.S. Walmart stores posted their eighth straight quarter of revenue declines at stores open at least a year. That figure compares revenue with the same quarter a year earlier and excludes stores that opened or closed during the year. It's an important measure of a retailer's health.

After a few years of marriage and maybe a few kids, many couples settle into a routine and can take their spouse and relationship for granted. Here are ideas on how to keep the spark alive.


In her latest book Marriage Confidential, Pamela Haag examines the growing trend of "semi-happy" married life. If you're coupled up - or want to be - you've got to read this.

Glamour: Why did you decide to write this book?

Pamela Haag: I was drawn to it by the marriages that I saw every day, including my own. I'm married to a great guy, and he's a wonderful husband. But nonetheless, over the years, I haven't felt totally fulfilled by marriage. So I conducted a survey of almost 2,000 people and found that many of them felt the same way.

Glamour: Is that the "semi-happy marriage"?

Pamela Haag: Yes: It's not that the marriage is terrible, with people who are arguing or miserable. But they're stuck in an ambivalent stage. I've always heard there was a question that Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver used to ask his pitcher Jim Palmer when Palmer was struggling: "Are you going to get any better, or is this it?" That's the soul of the semi-happy question: Is this all there is?

Glamour: So are we supposed to settle for the nice guy, or go for the one we're totally crazy for?

Pamela Haag: We grew up with a romantic ideal, but a lot of women aren't sure if they believe in it. Experts say compatibility is key. But when a marriage is too much like a friendship, it loses energy.

Glamour: This long after the feminist revolution, shouldn't marriages be better? It seems like they're not.

The mid-point in the alignment of these cubes, when they are perfectly aligned, will be on the autumnal equinox of 2002. The 20-year period ending on Winter solstice 2012 is the "eschatological moment when the New Jerusalem descends to Earth", as described in the Revelation to St. John (12,000 stadia - Rev.21:16).

In a brash article, the comedian explains all you need to know about the former "Two and a Half Men" star

Roseanne Barr may have retreated from the limelight and be working some seriously stunning gray hair these days, but she hasn't mellowed a bit. Thank God.

In a fearless piece on her life inside the television comedy bubble for New York magazine this week, the legendarily loudmouthed comedienne opens up about her admiration for Dave Chappelle, her rise to fame, her disdain for television's "enterprising, overmedicated, painted-up, capitalist whores claiming to be housewives," her thoughts on "starring on a sitcom, fighting with producers, nasty divorces, public meltdowns, and bombing through a live comedy tour" – just like another famous television star. But while she admits she knows it's like to "brag about winning when one is actually losing," don't compare her to Charlie Sheen.

"Charlie Sheen was the world’s most famous john, and a sitcom was written around him," she writes. "That just says it all." And in the most acidly funny observation we'll likely read all week, she lays it on the line: "Doing tons of drugs, smacking prostitutes around, holding a knife up to the head of your wife—sure, that sounds like a dream come true for so many guys out there, but that doesn't make it right!" All you other would-be winners out there, take some advice from one of television's greatest moms.

Meet Arnold's mistress. So apparently THIS (see photo above) is the housekeeper AND baby mama of Arnold’s love child who worked for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver for twenty some years. RadarOnline.com is reporting that Mildred Patricia Baena (who goes by Patti) retired back in January of this year and two sources have confirmed that she is the mother of a 10 year old boy who was created with Arnold’s wandering willy.

Yeah I’m not so sure why he got down and dirty with Patty…if it was the way she folded his underwear or the way she ironed his button down shirts, but there must have been something that he thought she had that Maria Shriver didn’t.



Get this, TMZ is reporting that this whole sneaky AND unprotected sex thing went on for years. But it was when Patty got pregnant that she didn’t tell Arnold that he was the father of her babe. In fact, it wasn’t until the boy was a toddler that he found out. In other words, Arnold knew for about eight years that this kid was his.

Patty is said to have made some decent cash while working for the family and Arnold was very generous. Well duh. He should have been knowing that THAT kid is his!

The young boy has not been identified and we will not post the photo of the kid here. But good gawd. She sure as heck doesn’t look like Arnold’s type, not that I am sure what his type really is after all this hot mess.

Best known for his role in the Karate Kid, Ralph Macchio has actually been in more than 30 movies and TV shows. During the 1980’s there were few young stars hotter than Macchio. He was in The Outsiders, Teachers, Crossroads and three different Karate Kid movies. In the mid 90’s his career cooled off, but he now seems determined to make a comeback and Dancing with the Stars Season 12 might be the perfect way to reintroduce him to the public.

Ralph Macchio is now 49 years old and has been recently tackling roles that better suit his age. He was very funny in Beer League and has recently made some guest appearances on other TV shows. Dancing with the Stars Season 12 returns him to prime time and I have a feeling he is going to be very committed to the show and do a good job on it. He should have a lot of fans who grew up on his movies watching so even if it takes him a few weeks to settle in I would expect he and his partner Karina Smirnoff to go deep into competition.

Maria Shriver breaks her silence. Maria Shriver thanked fans for their support Friday, breaking her silence since announcing her separation from husband Arnold Schwarzenegger. "Thank you for all the kindness, support and compassion. I am humbled by the love. Thank you," the veteran NBC journalist tweeted to her followers Friday.

The former California governor and Shriver announced in a joint statement Monday they were separating after 25 years of marriage.

Sources told the Los Angeles Times the two had been living "separate lives" for years, but postponed announcing the split because Shriver's father, Sargent Shriver, died in January and her mother, Eunice Shriver, died in August 2009.Sources told the Los Angeles Times the two had been living "separate lives" for years, but postponed announcing the split because Shriver's father, Sargent Shriver, died in January and her mother, Eunice Shriver, died in August 2009.A source close to the couple told People magazine they believed Schwarzenegger's role as governor took a toll on their relationship as Shriver put her TV news career on hold to support her husband -- who finished out his second term in January.

Whether you have a fisherman in the family or got a great deal on whole fish, here's instructions on how to fillet fish.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: 15 minutes
Here's How:

1. Hold the fish on the cutting board with the back of the fish toward you. Using a thin flexible knife, cut through the back of the head to the backbone and turn the blade so it's running along the backbone.
2. Hold the fish by placing your non cutting hand over the head. Push the knife along the backbone to the tail using a sawing motion.
3. Pull the fillet away from the body of the fish while making small careful cuts with the knife to retain as much flesh as possible.
4. Using small strokes of the knife, remove the fillet from the rib cage, feeling your way around the bones with the knife.
5. Turn the fish over and repeat steps 1 through 3 on the other side.
6. Using a flat bladed knife, slice a bit of the skin away from the flesh. Cut a hole in the loosened skin so you can fit your finger through it.
7. Hold the skin through the finger hole and pull the skin away from the fillet, using the knife to hold the fillet down. Hold the knife at a 45 degree angle.
8. With your fingers and a clean tweezer, feel for any pin bones and pull them out of the fillets.

In the same period, the number of college students earning psychology degrees has jumped 22%; the Princeton Review pegs it as the second most popular major today. No doubt students have visions of striking it rich, listening to patients' problems while collecting $100-an-hour fees.

The reality is that few psychology majors move on to graduate school--and the career path for the rest of the group: not so rich. Psychology majors during their first few years out of school typically make around $35,000; those with 10 to 20 years' experience are pulling in $54,000. Those are the second-lowest incomes in both cases in our study of the most lucrative college majors. Only criminal justice majors fare worse.

The most lucrative college major today: computer engineering. Those with less than five years' experience are making $60,500, while those with 10 to 20 years' experience are banking $104,000 per year. "Everything today has a computer in it," says Al Lee, director of quantitative analysis at PayScale.com, an online compensation comparison tool.

Today's computer engineering majors are designing the integrated circuits that move information around, and employers like AT&T (nyse: T - news - people ), Cisco Systems (nasdaq: CSCO - news - people ) and Hewlett-Packard (nyse: HPQ - news - people ) can't hire enough of them.

To gauge the most lucrative majors, we turned to PayScale.com, which collects real-time salary information from 10 million users. They looked at 20 popular majors where most of the graduates go into the private sector; thus, some popular majors, like education and social work, were excluded.

Worst Speeding Ticket Excuses – We’ve all been pulled over, but don’t get caught using the worst speeding ticket excuses. We have compiled a list of things not to say to an officer. Don’t make the mistake by arguing with the officer that pulled you over.

You will never win the argument. The first thing you should do is show some respect. You can do this by having your driver’s license, car registration, and proof of insurance ready for the officer.

When the officer asks why you were going so fast, just be honest. Don’t try to make up excuses because the officer will know. Remember, they make traffic stops all day long and know when you’re lying.

If you really didn’t know that you were going too fast, just say you didn’t realize it. Never say things like “I was on the phone” or “I had my radio up too loud and it was a big distraction.” You want to get away with a simple warning, so an excuse like “I wasn’t watching the speed limit sign” or “I didn’t know I was going too fast” is a better excuse.

Always try to use the “human error” reason. For example, if you were excited to meet a friend at a restaurant, just be upfront about it. Then say, “I need to slow down” and pretend that it’s the first and only time you will be speeding.

Undeterred by real or fake bombs, Queen Elizabeth II on Tuesday began the first visit by a British monarch to the Republic of Ireland, a four-day trip to highlight strong Anglo-Irish relations and the success of Northern Ireland peacemaking.

Resplendent in a cloak of emerald green and a dress of St. Patrick's blue, the 85-year-old queen stepped out from a bombproof, bulletproof Range Rover outside the official residence of Irish President Mary McAleese. Irish Army artillery units fired a 21-gun salute as a military brass band played "God Save the Queen."

The painstakingly choreographed visit has been designed to highlight today's exceptionally strong Anglo-Irish relations and the slow blooming of peace in neighboring Northern Ireland following a three-decade conflict that left 3,700 dead.

The queen arrived 100 years after her grandfather George V visited Dublin and an Ireland that was still part of the British Empire.

Beaming smiles by the queen and McAleese — a Belfast-born Catholic who has spent 14 years lobbying for Elizabeth II to visit — demonstrated genuine warmth between the two women, who have met several times before.

Largest contracts in sports ,most expensive stadiums in the world, richest athletes went broke

Just as the Olympics occurring every two years is a sure thing, so is the fact that each new stadium construction project is seen as an opportunity to outdo everyone else. Beijing National Stadium, the centerpiece of this summer's 2008 Olympics, is packed with restaurants, bars and stores to service an estimated half a million spectators throughout the course of the games. Designed by famed Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron, the stadium has been nicknamed the "Bird's Nest" for its distinctive, sweeping exterior support structure.





But the stadium is on the lower end in terms of of cost, at a bargain-basement $500 million--not even enough to make our list of the ten most expensive stadiums in the world. And a higher price tag wouldn't necessarily be a good thing, either. While bigger budgets can create stadiums that attract attention and leave a lasting impression, they can also leave decades of debt.



Montreal's fiscally controversial stadium for the 1976 Olympics, for example, has been racking up interest payments for years, and was finally paid off only in 2006. The total price tag, adjusted for today's dollars, was $1.4 billion, with more than $900 million of that being interest. But that's still not enough to top our list of the most expensive stadiums in the world.





That title goes to London's new and improved Wembley Stadium, which opened in 2006 and cost a staggering $1.5 billion. However, the Brits are getting quality for their quid, unlike Montreal's stadium, which has been essentially unused since the Expos headed to Washington, D.C., to become the Nationals. Wembley already hosts the English national soccer team, and, last fall, it hosted England's first regular-season NFL game. In 2012, Wembley will also host the Olympic soccer tournament.

Highest Speed Limits – Find out what some of the highest speed limits are across the country. Highways that are built by the federal government are still reduced to 55 mph. However, state roads are very different.

We will review the highest speed limits around the country. Some of the rural states have anywhere from 65 mph to 80 mph. Here’s a list on how fast you can go in some of the states.

Texas – While it’s not throughout the entire state, there are a few stretches of highway in Texas where the speed limit is an impressive 80 mph.

Utah – Similar to Texas, Utah also has a few stretches of highway where drivers can accelerate to 80 mph.

The rest of the states with the highest speed limits come in at allowing drivers to go up to 75 mph on selected freeways. These states are: Colorado, Idaho, Louisiana, Arizona, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakota, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Wyoming.

The National Maximum Speed Law (NMSL) in the United States was a provision of the 1974 Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act that prohibited speed limits higher than 55 mph (90 km/h).

It was drafted in response to oil price spikes and supply disruptions during the 1973 oil crisis. While gasoline consumption was expected to fall by 2.2%, the United States Department of Transportation calculated actual savings at 1%. Independent studies suggest savings as low as a half percent.

The law was widely disregarded by motorists and most states subversively opposed the law. Actions ranged from proposing deals for exemption to minimizing speed limit enforcement.

The NMSL was modified in 1987 and 1988 to allow up to 65 mph (105 km/h) limits on certain roads. Congress repealed the NMSL in 1995, fully restoring authority to determine the the maximum speed limits for each state to the U.S. States.

Director's Cut will see the singer revisit tracks from 1989 album The Sensual World and 1993 successor The Red Shoes

Kate Bush has not toured since 1979, and her last studio album was released in 2005, so fans of the Wuthering Heights singer can be forgiven their excitement at the announcement on Friday that she is releasing a new album on 16 May. But as its title suggests, Director's Cut is not a wholly new record, but rather a revisiting of a selection of tracks from her 1989 album, The Sensual World, and its 1993 successor, The Red Shoes. The 52-year old Bush, who lives in Oxfordshire, has re-recorded some elements while keeping the best musical performances of each song.

Jennifer is single once again -- she recently split from BF of over one year, Alex Beh. And although she often makes headlines for her daring get-ups, it's what she does in her ensembles that counts. Her latest stop? A TV movie, The Lost Valentine, opposite Betty White. With these two involved, there's no doubt it was a romantic comedy masterpiece. But after a rough 2010 filled with break-ups and unflattering snapshots, 2011 doesn't seem to be too much different.

Plaxico Burress is scheduled to be released from prison in less than four weeks, and Schefter writes circumstances could lead the Jets to bring Burress aboard.

A couple of months ago, I broke down how interested the AFC East might be in Burress and rated the Jets the most likely destination among the four clubs. The Jets have three receivers with expired contracts: Braylon Edwards, Santonio Holmes and Brad Smith.

The Jets drafted TCU receiver Jeremy Kerley in the fifth round and Colorado receiver Scotty McKnight in the seventh round, but players taken so late provide no guarantees. In fact, they take time to develop and usually don’t provide an impact.

The Hip-Hop culture is in a state of disrepair. Every week the river of misfortune stories continues to flow, featuring arrests, murders and ego wars that contribute to the damnation of the genre and endlessly distract from the art itself.

Today is no different, as we're sad to report that rising rap group Cali Swag District's M-Bone was shot and killed late last night in his hometown of Inglewood, CA. Details are scant, but according to an Inglewood police spokesperson, the 22 year old sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the head while sitting in his vehicle on Le Brea Avenue. M-Bone was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Jury selection in the Casey Anthony murder trial resumed this morning and should wrap up either today or Tuesday at the latest.

The first prospective juror on the stand this morning is a nurse who has two children -- one who is the same age as Anthony's daughter, Caylee.

Anthony is accused of killing her 2-year-old daughter in 2008.

The prospective juror said she doesn't feel strongly either way about the death penalty and doesn't have extensive knowledge about the case.

"I really don't have any prejudgment," she said about whether the defendant is innocent or guilty. "I really don't know."

After six days, 12 jurors have survived the two rounds of marathon questioning, but none is officially on the panel yet. Judge Belvin Perry Jr. has said he wants to get to a "magic number" of 15 or 18 prospective jurors before he swears in the body.
