"He's an alcoholic. He's overweight. Includes a bad leg," he told co-anchor Hannah Storm. "It's fun to put all those things on and discover what comes out and see what you look like. It was an image of myself about 10 or 15 years from now."And while his character is racked by regrets, the smoothness played by Morse is not suffering from issues of right and wrong. "For me, I'm doing my job, the same as we were doing our job all along. They have to change his mind," Morse said.Why the movie so gripping may be the triangle of relationships formed by Willis, Morse as well as the prisoner, played by Mos Def."The thing that basically makes this thing work is you might have these two relationships at the heart than it," said Morse. "You have Mos, this also relationship (between the two cops). And it's really so sweet the stuff that happens between these two guys. And there is so much history between us that is certainly what really is underneath this whole nonstop ride that you take."The underlying question in the movie is whether people are effective at change. Willis said that off-screen, if there's a very important factor that has really changed him, it was having children. He has three daughters with his ex-wife, actress Demi Moore."After you have kids, the rest becomes stupid," he said. "Everything else that you worry about, 'Can I pay this bill? Can one do this? Can I do that?' … all this changes when you have kids."Willis also commented by using an issue that made some news in recent weeks, relating to the discredited author James Frey. After Oprah Winfrey took Frey to task for distorting the facts in his memoir, Willis came to his defense."I thought it was a little unfair," he stated. "I respect what Oprah does. I do think that her book club is an extremely good thing and a good project. I recently think that he's just a writer, and because of a mix-up or something of his publisher saying these are generally his memoirs, and not a work of fiction, which he didn't deserve to be publicly crucified.""16 Blocks" opens on March 3.
http://muvdigital.net/ Nick Leeson /File The high-flying young trader who engineered huge, unauthorized investments in 1995, went back to Britain Sunday, after about 4 years in a Singapore prison. CBS News Correspondent Richard Roth reports from London.Nick Leeson's unauthorized futures trades lost $1.38 billion and brought down Barings Bank. He returned home ill, divorced, unemployed and under court order to account for every penny he spends.In the statement he read to reporters at London's Heathrow Airport, Leeson, 32, said for the first time in public areas that he was sorry."I wish to state clearly here that I know I did wrong. That's not me proud of my activities as a trader with Barings Bank in Singapore. I had been foolish. And I very much regret so what happened."Barings was the bank that financed the British Empire. The queen kept money there. When the bank broke, Leeson ran. He was captured in Germany, then repaid to Asia for trial and prison. While in prison he wrote the sunday paper that's become a movie.Leeson worked from the Singapore office of Britain's oldest commercial bank inside the heady days of the 1990s Asian financial boom. In prison for fraudulently hiding the losses, he was sentenced to 1/2 years but was freed Saturday, an earlier release for good behavior. Leeson was clinically determined to have colon cancer while in Tanah Merah prison and requirements continued treatment after the surgery and chemotherapy he in Singapore. "I have done my time. I've taken my punishment, and after this I want to get on with the job of rebuilding my well being," Leeson told reporters. Leeson was divorced by his wife, Lisa, who had stood by him with the trial and got a job as an airline attendant so she could fly to visit him. But she was disillusioned by revelations as part of his 1997 autobiography, Rogue Trader." She married another banker. Leeson told reporters he previously found out who his true friends were and "received lots of kindness from people I don't know. One man in the us sent me books on a monthly basis for the entire time I was in Tanah Merah." A High Court order froze Leeson's assets at the request from the liquidators of the former Barings group. He can spend up to $7,900 each month for living costs, legal fees and health care but must supply the liquidators two days' advance notice written of where the cash has come from and exactly how it is being spent. Leeson's lawyer, Stephan Pollard, dismissed reports that Leeson had saved $3 million as "complete and utter nonsense." Unconfirmed reports working in london newspapers said Leeson had a $150,000 deal to have an exclusive interview with a British tabloid. The top Court judgment prevents him from profiting from the sale of his story. Pollard said Leeson would pay his expenses beyond "money that he has," but would not specify where he got it.It will be possible Leeson may be able to regain his trading license, since his conviction was at Singapore, not England.
http://taniaroxborogh.com/shortuggboots-uk.html In what military legal experts contact a "shocker," the judge squeeze case of former Abu Ghraib prison guard Pfc. Lynndie England back where you started.Col. James Pohl tossed out the plea agreement that the reservist reached with prosecutors after Pvt. Charles Graner Jr., the reputed ringleader of the abuse, testified Wednesday on her behalf.Pohl found that Graner's statements contradicted England's previous testimony and declared a mistrial. Pohl's finding sent the case back to Fort Hood's commander, Lt. Gen. Thomas Metz, who will decide what charges, or no, England should face.England, 22, had pleaded guilty Monday or two counts of conspiracy to maltreat prisoners, four counts of maltreating prisoners and one count of committing an indecent act, a few of which were captured in photographs.With a photos, England held a leash looped round the neck of a hooded, naked prisoner. Another showed her close to nude prisoners stacked in the pyramid, while a third depicted England pointing in a prisoner's genitals as a cigarette dangled from her lips.Under military law, Pohl could formally accept her guilty plea only if he was convinced that she knew back then that what she was doing was illegal.Graner told Pohl that pictures he took of England holding the leash were intended as used as a training aid for other guards. But England had told Pohl when she entered her plea the pictures were being taken purely for the amusement of the guards.England's plea deal was a tightly woven package, reports CBS News Correspondent Barry Bagnato. When the judge decided he couldn't longer accept one of her guilty pleas, the remaining threads unraveled.The plea agreement had carried an optimal sentence of 11 years in prison, but the prosecution and defense had a deal that capped the sentence at the lesser punishment; the length was not released. no previous page next 1/2
http://gcthulin.com/navyuggs-uk.html Friends and family members gathered Saturday to bid your final, heartfelt farewell to Lauren Bessette and her sister, Carolyn, who perished with John F. Kennedy Jr. within a plane crash in the Atlantic.In the week since the accident, there have been countless eulogies for the 38-year-old Kennedy.But tributes towards the Bessettes have seemed glancing at the best, CBS News Correspondent Jeffrey Kofman reports. The sisters were remembered not really for how they lived their lives as for what they became in death -- figures in another Kennedy tragedy.Not in Greenwich, the affluent shoreline town in which the Bessettes grew up. Outside Christ Church, when a private memorial service occurred Saturday night, hundreds of people gathered to show support for the family, leaving bouquets and hand-written notes.They spoke of two remarkable daughters, two promise-filled futures. Along with the unspeakable sorrow of parents forced to bury their kids.Significantly, the invitation-only candlelight service happened in the name of Lauren -- the "other Bessette," the victim the world knew least -- although prayers were and to be offered for Carolyn and John. 400 people were expected.Ann Freeman, the Bessette sisters' mother, and Dr. Richard Freeman, their stepfather, arrived early. Arriving with them was Lauren's twin sister, Lisa Ann. The parents attended a separate service for Kennedy and his awesome wife in New York on Friday.Lauren Bessette, yearbook photo, Hobart and William Smith College."Devastating," said Chuck Morrell, the primary sexton of Christ Church, as he helped with preparations at the 90-year-old Gothic building earlier from the day. "Two daughters who were living life to the full. No parent should have to bear such a loss."Numerous members of the Kennedy clan attended, including JFK Jr.'s uncle Sen. Edward M. Kennedy; aunts Ethel Kennedy and Jean Kennedy Smith; cousins Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, Douglas Kennedy, Maxwell Kennedy, Maria Shriver, and Kerry Kennedy Cuomo; in addition to Rory Kennedy and her fiance, Mark Bailey, whose wedding was cut short through the tragedy.Carolyn and Lauren Bessette grew up in Greenwich, Conn., raised by their mother and stepfather. Carolyn, the youngest of three sisters, finished St. Mary's parochial school, now Greenwich Catholic School, in 1983. Classmate Deborah Lamoureux remembers a woman who was always smiling, always laughing. "Everybody really loved her," Lamoureaux told CBS News. "She was revered by the guys and the girls."Brilliant beautiful, Lauren earned her business degree from the prestigious Wharton School of Business in the University of Pennsylvania. The 34-year-old investment bnker rose rapidly in the world of international finance and helped Morgan Stanley Dean Witter in New York for eight years.

"What do you think when your friend dies?"

http://taniaroxborogh.com/uggclassictall-uk.html The marketplace for legal online music services is getting ready to get more crowded with tech behemoth Microsoft Corp. entering the fray.Microsoft intends to introduce a song-downloading service pick up that will compete with similar offerings from Apple Computer Inc., Roxio Inc.'s Napster while others. News of the service was first reported Monday by The Wall Street Journal.An organization spokeswoman confirmed that Microsoft's MSN Web site will offer such a service, but declined to deliver further details.Industry analysts who had been expecting Microsoft's entry the software giant could shake up the new, fast-growing business of downloadable tunes. The Redmond, Wash.-based company's dominant Windows operating system gives Microsoft powerful leverage, as well as deep pockets could give it time to undercut competitors.In addition, Microsoft's Windows Media Player — software that plays music and video clips on computers — is already pervasive, and is easily adapted to facilitate an online music store from Microsoft.Apple, which helped jump-start the online music business, said it has sold greater than 17 million songs for 99 cents each since it launched its iTunes Music Store in April.Since then, a dozen rival offerings have emerged or on the horizon, including services expected from Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Sony Corp., Dell Inc. and Amazon.com."The current (music) era has each of the characteristics of a gold rush," said Phil Leigh, an impartial industry analyst with Inside Digital Media.
