<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The United States women’s gymnastics team definitely didn’t want to spoil the television coverage of NBC when they are shown the champions of the world, but it appears the team couldn't keep quiet any longer Tuesday afternoon. Winning a <a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/sports-headlines/ci_21202456/highlights-day-4-london-olympics?" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3e72a7; font-weight: bold;">gold medal</a> in the artistic gymnastics women's team final, the athlete shared two words with her fans that put the win in perspective.</span></div>

Within second Aly Rasiman <a href="https://twitter.com/Aly_Raisman/status/230426473075462144" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3e72a7; font-weight: bold;">tweeted</a> the same message as the entire team let their fans know they had won the gold. Almost immediately the posts went viral as those folks who were at work had a chance to hear the news that <a class="inline_link" href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/team-usa" style="color: #3e72a7;">Team USA</a>represented very well during the artistic gymnastics final.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A team effort, the chance to show the world the best gymnastics, this is the first time the United States has won since 1996.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">McKayla Maroney, Kyla Ross, Alexandra Raisman, Gabrielle Douglas and Jordyn Wieber all took the podium at the award ceremony to claim the gold medal and it won’t be surprising if we see these five talented ladies show up in America to show off the medal on television too.</span></div>

Snoop went to Jamaica a Dogg but returned a Lion after a religious and artistic awakening.<br />
<br />
Rastafarian priests bestowed the new moniker Snoop Lion upon the music icon when he<br />
<br />
visited Jamaica in search of "a new path."<br />
"I didn't know that until I went to the temple, where the High Priest asked me what my name was, and I said, 'Snoop Dogg.' And he looked me in my eyes and said, 'No more. You are the light; you are the lion.' From that moment on, it's like I had started to understand why I was there," he explained at a press conference.<br />
Born Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., Lion has always felt a special connection with Jamaica's most celebrated music legend, according to news.com.au. "I have always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated," Lion said. "I feel I have always been a Rastafari. I just didn't have my third eye open, but it's wide open right now."<br />
This spiritual development has revived Lion's artistic energy. After years in the music industry, rap started to stale for the 40-year-old music icon. Ever since he appeared on the scene with "Doggystyle" in the early 1990s, Snoop has been a prominent player in west coast hip-hop. But Lion welcomes musical change and growth.<br />

<br />
"I've been on the top ever since I've been in it," he explained. "I got rap songs that will never die. And that ain't with no disrespect but I'm tired of rap."<br />
While in the studio, he distanced himself from his musical past by referring to Snoop Dogg in the third person. "F*** Snoop Dogg. Don't think about none of the s*** he rapped about: hustling and making money and drug-dealing and shooting. All that s***'ll be out of here," he said to his collaborators in the studio.<br />

With reggae, Lion has the chance create music that all ages can enjoy - from children to his grandparents, who might not have been able to enjoy his harder-edged rap catalogue.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
"I'm a wise man in the music industry," he said. "Not that I'll never do rap again because I'm always gonna do what I love, but right now I'm Snoop Lion and I'm having fun with this reggae movement so hopefully you guys will enjoy it as well."</div>

Vice Films - in association with Snoopadelic Films - will release a documentary about the artist's transformation from Snoop Dogg to Snoop Lion at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">

<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Snoop Dogg wants you to know that he's tired of hip-hop, is Bob Marley reincarnated and is embracing reggae instead of the culture of guns he once rapped about.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, he's got a new name: Snoop Lion.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The artist said at a news conference Monday in New York that he was "born again" during a visit to Jamaica in February and is ready to make music that his "kids and grandparents can listen to."</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The former gangster rapper is releasing a reggae album called "Reincarnated" in the fall. He said that in Jamaica, he connected with Bob Marley's spirit and is now "Bob Marley reincarnated."</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bob Marley's son Rohan attended the conference and gave Snoop his blessing.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I feel like I've always been Rastafarian," Snoop said of the spiritual Jamaican movement. While there, he said, he visited a temple, was renamed Snoop Lion and was also given the Ethiopian name Berhane, meaning "light of the world."</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Snoop didn't explain why he was switching from "Dogg" to "Lion," but it's likely a reference to the Lion of Judah, a religious symbol popular in Rastafarian and Ethiopian culture.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Later, he played five songs for a small crowd, including one called "No Guns Allowed." It features his daughter and includes the lyrics, "No guns allowed in here tonight, we're going to have a free for all, no fights."</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"It's so tragic that people are doing stupid things with guns," he said.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Snoop, best known for hits like "Gin and Juice" and "Drop It Like It's Hot," is an avid supporter of marijuana rights and has been banned from entering Norway for two years after trying to enter the country with a small amount last month.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He said that in Jamaica, where he stayed for 35 days, he grew closer to his wife, who saw his transition. He added that he's excited to perform music that his family and children can listen to.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"As a 40-year-old man ... I've got to give them something," he said. "That's what you do when you're wise."</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Snoop Dogg said he's not completely retiring from hip-hop but is "tired" of the genre because it is no longer challenging.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Reggae was calling ... it's a breath of fresh air," he said. "Rap isn't challenging; it's not appealing."</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The album was produced by Diplo and will feature Snoop singing. It will be released on Vice Records.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The album will be followed with a documentary of the same name, also produced by Vice. It features Snoop making music and will include some personal elements of his life, a producer of the film said. It will debut at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A coffee table book about Snoop's rebirth is also in the works.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"It feels like I'm 19 or 20 years old again," he said.</span></div>
<div style="padding: 0px; text-align: left;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Nadia Comaneci, the original queen of the Olympic gymnastics 'Perfect 10,' is hoping that officials will turn back to the old school scoring style so that modern Olympian gymnasts can score the 'perfect 10' as well.</span></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The famous Romanian gymnast Nadia Elena Comăneci made Olympic history books for being the first female gymnast to achieve the perfect score of 10. She was only 14 when she achieved the perfect score at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal for her performance on the uneven bars. Not only that, but she took home three gold medals during those games. She earned two more golds during her career which are among her nine medals.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">At the time, the Olympic scoreboards couldn't even display a 10 because it was thought that no one would be able to earn an absolutely perfect score. The board showed a 1.00, which left Comaneci confused as she thought she had done much better.</span></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">"I didn't understand what that meant," Comaneci, 50, told </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The Associated Press</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">. "That's all they could show. I was a little frustrated at the beginning because I thought I did better than one."</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Comaneci did do better than a one. Her performance, by the judge's standards, was perfect.</span></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Today, gymnasts don't even have a chance to score the perfect 10. It isn't because they're not good enough to try. It's because the scoring system changed six years ago, 30 years after Comaneci got the score.</span></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The International Gymnastics Federation established the new scoring system in 2006, before the 2008 Beijing Olympics. A high score is considered to range in the 15's and 16's. So scoring a 10 today would be pretty bad.</span></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Although the 2012 Olympic Games are underway in London, Comaneci still hopes they bring back the old perfect 10 scoring system.</span></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">"I think gymnastics was associated with a 10. I thought that belonged to the sport and somehow we gave it away," she said. "I think we lost a lot of fans.</span></span></div>
<div style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: initial; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In addition to her five gold medals, two silver medals, and a bronze, Comaneci won two world titles during her 10-year international career.</span></span></div>

<br />
John Orozco, the teenager from the Bronx, helped lead the U.S. gymnastics team to the top of the rankings in a qualification round.<br />
<br />
It was an impressive afternoon for the men, as Orozco and Danell Leyva also became two of four Americans to advance to the individual event finals. The U.S. posted a team total of 274.342, putting it ahead of Russia (272.595) and Great Britain (272.420), respectively.<br />
<br />
<br />
Scores from the qualifying round do not carry forward to the finals, but are a strong indication of what may happen next.<br />
<br />
Leyva and Orozco stood one-two in the standings.<br />
<br />
SAUDIS THREATEN EXIT<br />
IOC president Jacques Rogge faced his first major crisis, as Saudi Arabia threatened to withdraw its athletes from the Olympics after a Saudi female judoka was banned by the International Judo Federation from competing with a head scarf.<br />
<br />
Negotiations continued as Rogge tried to avoid what would be a big blow to his presidency. He has been very public about his diplomatic triumph in getting the first Saudi woman into the Olympics.<br />
<br />
The Saudis will not allow the woman, Wodjan Ali Seraj Abdulrahim Shahrkhani, to compete without the Muslim headwear, or hijab, or without a male chaperone.<br />
<br />
The Judo Federation, however, has thus far banned the head scarf on safety grounds.<br />
<br />
WEIGHTLIFTER BANNED<br />
The IOC on Saturday expelled Albanian weightlifter Hysen Pulaku, 20, from the Olympics after he tested positive for the synthetic anabolic steroid stanozolol. Pulaku tested positive on July 23, and his file will be sent to the International Weightlifting Federation for further review and potential punishment.<br />
<br />
The drug, which mimics testosterone and builds muscle, is quickly becoming the scourge of these Games. Greek high jumper Dimitris Chondrokoukis was also banished for the same offense.<br />
SERENA, ISNER WIN<br />
Americans Serena Williams and hard-serving John Isner advanced to the second round of the Olympic tennis tournament. Williams had an easy time against former No. 1 Jelena Jankovic, 6-3, 6-1, knocking eight aces on Centre Court and beating the Serb in 61 minutes. Isner topped Olivier Rochus of Belgium, 7-6 (1), 6-4.<br />
LET US IN!<br />
Early preliminaries in a variety of non-ticketed “minor” sports have created a controversy at sites where spectators showed up and thought they’d be allowed in for free.<br />
<br />
Thousands of spectators were turned away from the Lord’s cricket ground on Friday for the archery ranking round, in which legally blind Im Dong-hyun of South Korea set a world record for 72 arrows with a score of 699.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Television star Sherman Hemsley, who was part of a wave of African-American actors who made inroads on television in the 1970s, died Tuesday at his home in far East El </span><span style="background-color: white;">Paso. He was 74.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hemsley was best known for his exaggerated strut, wisecracks and boisterous attitude while playing the character George Jefferson on the popular sitcom "The Jeffersons" (1975-1985).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Neighbors said the Hemsley they knew was a regular guy who would wave hello and goodbye and who would walk to a nearby Albertsons grocery store because he didn't drive.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I got a call from one of his staff members. It's very tragic, sad news. I lost a good friend and El Paso lost a good resident," said U.S. Marshal Robert Almonte, who befriended Hemsley when Almonte was with the El Paso Police Department.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"He was a great person," Almonte said. "He loved El Paso. He was living here full time. El Paso was his home."had lived in El Paso off and on for more than 10 years before moving to the city full time. Hemsley, who was involved in local charitable causes, said in a previous interview that he liked El Paso's "peacefulness" compared with Los Angeles.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the past three to four years, Hemsley lived in a middle-class home with a Spanish-tile roof on Tom Ulozas Drive near George Dieter Drive. Neighbors said Hemsley lived alone.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hemsley's death was first reported on the celebrity news website TMZ.com, which also said Hemsley's body was found by his nurse, who initially thought he was sleeping. Information on funeral services was not immediately available.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Neighbors reported seeing police at Hemsley's home at about 11 a.m. and seeing a body wheeled out.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"We found out it was Mr. Sherman," said Antonio Ceballos, 25, who lives across the street.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Police Department officials said Hemsley was found dead in his home. A ruling on the cause of death is pending an autopsy and no foul play is suspected, officials said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A biography on the Internet Movie Database website stated Hemsley was born in Philadelphia in 1938. He served in the U.S. Air Force before joining the Negro Ensemble Company in New York.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In early 1970s, Hemsley was hired by Norman Lear for the role of Archie Bunker's neighbor George Jefferson in "All in the Family."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 1975, the Jeffersons spun off to their own show when they moved on up to the East Side to a deluxe apartment in the sky.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lear's shows touched on race relations, poverty and other social issues that had often gone unmentioned on TV.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After "The Jeffersons" ended, Hemsley played a deacon on the NBC sitcom "Amen" (1986-1991). He also had appearances on other TV shows.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Being in show business is weird," Hemsley said while performing with the 62nd Army Show Band at an El Paso park in 2005.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You never know what's going to make you popular. What made me popular? That stupid walk," Hemsley said before launching into a rendition of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dave Eller, 62, remembered the day he met the celebrity next door. "I called him 'George.' He said, 'It happens all the time,' " Eller recalled.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gregory Kennebrew, 52, was surprised the first time he spotted the former TV star walking in his neighborhood.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I was riding my motorcycle and I saw him walking down the street," Kennebrew said. "I made a U-turn and asked him for a photo. We started talking after that. I was very surprised, shocked because I saw him on 'Amen,' on the Archie Bunker show and, of course, 'The Jeffersons.' "</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After that meeting years ago, Kennebrew said he would often chat with Hemsley while giving him rides in a vehicle to the supermarket.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; margin-top: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"He was one of the top icons," Kennebrew said. "He made everybody laugh."</span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-align: left;">July 24, 2012: Actor Christian Bale, second right, and his wife Sibi Blazic, right, place flowers on a memorial to the victims of Friday's mass shooting in Aurora, Colo.</span><span class="source" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-align: left;"> (AP)</span></span></div>

<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
Batman star Christian Bale visited survivors of the Colorado theater shooting Tuesday, and thanked medical staff and police officers who responded to the attack that killed 12 people and injured 58 others.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
Bale visited with little advance warning and also stopped by a makeshift memorial to victims near the movie theater that was showing "The Dark Knight Rises" when the gunfire erupted.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
Carey Rottman, one of those injured in Friday's shooting, posted two photos of himself with Bale on his Facebook page.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
Janie Bowman-Hayes, assistant vice president of surgical services at sister hospital Swedish Medical Center, said she and co-workers were attending a luncheon at The Medical Center of Aurora to thank staff who tended to victims. "When we got there, then we found out he was there," she said.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
Bale, humble and dressed casually in a black T-shirt and jeans, thanked the staff, shook hands and agreed to have his photo taken with employees, Bowman-Hayes said.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
"He just said he wanted to come to thank all of us because he has been thinking about this. He knows the whole world has been thinking about this," she said. "He took it upon himself to come and thank us."</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
An online campaign had urged Bale to visit survivors of the shooting.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
Bale, joined by his wife Sibi Blazic, also stopped by a growing memorial near the theater and walked among the 12 crosses erected for each of the slain victims. Many people there didn't realize who he was or chose to leave him alone.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
A Warner Bros. spokeswoman told The Denver Post that Bale was representing himself, not the movie studio.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
Bale, who stars as Batman in "The Dark Knight Rises," previously issued a written statement saying: "Words cannot express the horror that I feel. I cannot begin to truly understand the pain and grief of the victims and their loved ones, but my heart goes out to them."</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
President Barack Obama and members of the Denver Broncos also have made hospital visits to some of the survivors.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
Bowman-Hayes and her staff cared for patients at both Swedish Medical Center and The Medical Center of Aurora after the shootings, whether it was in the operating room or intensive care unit, or by washing medical instruments.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
She said the staff appreciated Bale's visit.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: arial, sans-serif; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
"He did this out of his heart, and you could really tell. It was so sincere," she said. "It was just, `Thank you."'</div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font: inherit; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sherman Hemsley, the man who brought George Jefferson to vivid life, has died at age 74. The accomplished stage actor achieved his widest fame in a role he raised to comic greatness: George Jefferson, the egotistical, strutting centerpiece of <em style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Jeffersons</em>.<span id="more-23416" style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font: inherit; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hemsley took a part that could have been clownish and exaggerated — George Jefferson, the braying entrepeneur striving to, as the show’s theme song said, “move on up” — and made George a vital, three-dimensional character, and an important advance in the depiction of black characters in sitcoms. George’s ego and selfishness were often brought into line by his wife, Isabel Sanford’s Louise Jefferson (George’s beloved “Weezy”), but the force of the character derived from the tremendous ambition, frustration, and anger George felt toward the world.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font: inherit; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can credit producer Norman Lear for helping to conceive the character, first in <em style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">All in the Family</em> and then as a spin-off in <em style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Jeffersons</em>, but it was clearly Hemsley’s performance that fueled its power. Hemsley had come up through the theater, in straight dramas as well as musicals (he came to George Jefferson initially fresh from a run in the raucous, Ossie Davis-derived Broadway musical <em style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Purlie)</em>, and Jefferson brought a rhythmic musicality in the way George moved onscreen. His erect posture conveyed George’s pride, his perpetually affronted expression was a mask against the injustices, correctly perceived or imagined, by George; his harsh voice was the sound of a man who would not be denied his place in the world. Watching George Jefferson was to witness a man comfortable in his own skin — and that that skin was black was significant. From Hemsley’s performance, you could build an entire philosophy of the man he played. As a black man of his generation, George was as likely to have taken his civil rights cues from Malcolm X as from Martin Luther King, Jr. And while his business acumen placed him squarely in the capitalist tradition, George was a Black Panther-inspired figure of action, emboldened to make his opinions heard, his actions felt in the world around him.</span></div>

<em style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Jeffersons</em> aired for a decade, 1975-85, and Hemsley’s performance embodied George’s move from the working-class to the middle-class as the owner of a chain of dry-cleaning businesses. George’s pride, his radar for any trace of racial exploitation, his ease at dismissing someone who’d offended or condescended to him as “honky” — these were all elements that could easily have put off mass America. Instead, because of Hemsley’s skill, charm, and energy, they became the elements that endeared the character to the country.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font: inherit; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 12px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
Hemsley went on to other roles. He was a rascal church deacon in the sitcom <em style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Amen</em>; he provided the voice for an imperious character in the puppet sitcom <em style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Dinosaurs</em>. These were, in a sense, variations on George Jefferson, who will live and rant and remain lovable and admirable forever.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As night fell on Aurora, Colo., following a shooting rampage at a movie theater that left 12 people dead, police continue to investigate suspect <strong style="font-weight: normal;">James Holmes</strong> and provide assistance to the victims and their loved ones.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After reducing the number of casualties by one, from 71 to 70 (58 instead of 59 injured), Aurora Police Chief Daniel Oates announced at a press conference tonight that the bodies of the 10 people who died at the Century 16 multiplex have been removed from the scene. Two others died at area hospitals earlier today.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Holmes was taken into custody roughly 10 minutes after allegedly opening fire with an assault rifle at around 12:30 a.m. Mountain Time, 25 minutes into a packed 12:05 a.m. screening of <em style="font-style: normal;">The Dark Knight Rises</em>.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oates then shed light on how Holmes came to be in possession of the rifle, shotgun and two handguns, one of which was found in his vehicle after the shooting.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The 24-year-old, originally from Riverside, Calif., legally purchased four guns during the past 60 days from local shops, as well as multiple magazines—each one holding up to 100 rounds, for a total of 6,000 rounds of ammunition—off the Internet.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Neighbors say he lived alone and kept to himself, Oates said. Holmes, who had been a graduate student in the neurosciences department at the University of Colorado since June 2011, recently left the school via "voluntary separation."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Meanwhile, according to Oates, authorities are still trying to defuse a complicated incendiary device they discovered in Holmes' apartment, the likes of which, the police chief told reporters, he had never seen.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The bomb squad has suspended efforts for the night but will redouble their efforts tomorrow. Holmes' apartment building and four others have been evacuated in the meantime.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Holmes has obtained a lawyer and is due in court Monday at 8:30 a.m. Until then, Oates said, he remains locked up in Arapahoe County Jail and his mug shot is not being released at this time for investigative purposes.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The chief said that his department and other government agencies met with 70 people who have not yet accounted for loved ones who have been missing since the shooting; therefore, they are not releasing a full list of fatalities until after the families have been notified.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It turns out a few injuries were suffered in the chaos following the shooting, though most were gunshot wounds, Oates said. One person in an adjacent theater was also shot.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As of 3:30 p.m., 30 people remained hospitalized, 11 in critical condition.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Four theaters in Aurora are showing <em style="font-style: normal;">The Dark Knight Rises</em> and there is an increased security presence at all of them, Oates concluded. A prayer vigil is planned for Sunday at 6:30 p.m. at the Aurora Municipal Center.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As the shows go on, Warner Bros. also announced tonight that it will hold off on releasing data regarding <em style="font-style: normal;">The Dark Knight Rises</em>' weekend box office, numbers that in a normal situation the studio—as well as analysts, the media and rival studios—would have been itching to process.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.4em; padding: 0.5em 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Out of respect for the victims and their families, Warner Bros. Pictures will not be reporting box office numbers for <em style="font-style: normal;">The Dark Knight Rises</em> throughout the weekend. Box office numbers will be released on Monday," the studio said in a statement to E! News.</span></div>

<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Don’t blame the movie.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="articlePluckHidden" style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Don’t blame director Christopher Nolan or star Christian Bale.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="articlePluckHidden" style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But maybe it’s worth having a discussion about an entertainment culture that excels at selling violent power fantasies to people who feel powerless.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="articlePluckHidden" style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Initially, little was known about the Aurora, Colo., gunman who killed 12 at a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises.” We knew his age (24) and his name (James Holmes); the latter fact is irrelevant, the former maybe less so. The audience that has been the most breathless in its anticipation of the third and final film in the “Dark Knight” series — the audience for whom it’s not just a movie but the pop culmination of their lives — is young. But motive is as yet unknown, despite unconfirmed reports at press time that Holmes told police he was “the Joker.” He could indeed be a fan who lost touch with reality. He could be political. Or maybe he just saw the release of “The Dark Knight Rises” as his best potential stage. Where was all of America (or all of America that mattered to him) at midnight on Thursday? At this movie. Where was the place for him to finally be seen, be heard, make an impact? Nowhere else.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="articlePluckHidden" style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The gunman planned his attack for the first local public screening of the film, and it is almost certain he had not seen it himself. Let’s be clear about this: James Holmes is not the poster child for anything but the sickness in his head. Yet it’s difficult, at this point, to fully separate the act of a single deranged man from the all-encompassing mania this series engenders in a surprising number of people. For millions, “The Dark Knight Rises” is just a movie (and, to this critic, a very good one). For a vocal contingent on the fringes, it’s much more — a film that has to be perfect for the world to make any sense at all.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="articlePluckHidden" style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Earlier in the week, the popular movie review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes suspended user comments for “The Dark Knight Rises” because fans were directing multiple death threats and rape threats at critics who had dared to give the film less than a perfect grade. Reviewers like the Associated Press’s Christy Lemire and movie blogger Marshall Fine were promised physical extinction for daring to not like a movie that those posting the threats hadn’t even seen.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="articlePluckHidden" style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There is something truly awful going on here: an entitled fanboy mentality, enabled by the anonymity of screen names, that moves and thinks as a mob and that reacts to any deviation from unanimous praise with the fury of a spoiled child. Of course there were plenty of level-headed responses on the Rotten Tomatoes boards and elsewhere; of course not all fanboys (and girls) are immature dolts. But enough of them are to dominate the discourse, and their assumptions are frightening to contemplate: If someone does not like this movie, he or she deserves to die. Oh, wait, you were kidding? They’re just words, pixels on a screen? How does that absolve you? When you threaten real human beings with violence while hiding behind the wall of DrkKnghtFan, what consequences does that have for the intended victim, for society, for your soul?</span></div>
</div>
<div class="articlePluckHidden" style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">More pressingly, it needs to be asked, why does fantasy in general and this fantasy in particular mean so much to so many people? Why does a negative review for a movie strike some as an attack on their own identity? When the second film in Nolan’s “Batman” trilogy, “The Dark Knight,” came out in 2008, it was remarkable to see so many members of a generation that had no cultural focal point discovering theirs in this, the way previous generations had rallied around the Beatles or “Nevermind” or “Titanic.” Even more so; I recall (and wrote about at the time) a young man I met who likened the impact of “Dark Knight” to the Kennedy assassination and the Challenger disaster as events that unified young people and gave them their defining moment.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="" style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font: inherit; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Really? A <em style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">movie</em>? (And I say this as someone who has devoted a lifetime to seeing, writing about, and thinking about movies.) That’s a sign of several things, one of which is that Nolan is extremely skilled at making films that seem to matter — that move with a beautiful bigness and that ask big questions about where the world is going while knocking us silly with action and explosions and agonized superhero drama. His movies don’t explain our confused world, but they mirror that confusion with cathartic skill, in a way that can feel absolutely right if you don’t know how to find the words for yourself. They’re hardly political, but they reflect a helplessness we feel about politics and society — about our lives — that resonates with force. Unsurprisingly, then, the online fan-mob seems more viciously protective of Nolan’s superhero films than “The Avengers” or “The Amazing Spider-Man” (although they can be loutish about them, too). And is it a coincidence that the Aurora gunman showed up at this movie rather than a different summer blockbuster? Maybe he wanted to mean as much to us as “The Dark Knight” means to him.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div class="firstGraph" style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Or maybe not. He may be just another nutcase, with no ax to grind regarding this or any movie. But I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that he was responding, in his psychosis, to the tortured fantasy of power that this movie — and so much of the popular culture aimed at young men in particular — trades in. That fantasy is now everywhere. It is possible for any of us, of any age or gender, to avoid reality all day in America by keeping our eyes fixed on our screens. They’re on our walls at home and in restaurants, in our living rooms and bedrooms, toted around in our knapsacks, fitting neatly into our hands. The screens sell us many things: video games both benign and ultra-violent, empty “news” about celebrities, Facebook posts from our most intimate 2,864 friends, trailers for the latest Hollywood blockbuster in which men fly through the air and blow up everything bad in their lives. The screens tell us that we matter, each and every one of us. To look away from the screens is to confront a world that says, in most cases, no, you really don’t.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="articlePluckHidden" style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That’s hard, especially if you’re still figuring out who you are and a beautiful, conflicted superhero (or supervillain) mirrors your self-image. Our entertainment culture’s dreams of power are a drug that keeps us rapt in a cloud of promises: that we can win and that winning is everything; that we’ll be seen and heard for who we are if we’re thin enough or strong enough or have the coolest toys or the biggest guns. The fantasies lie, because the people who make the fantasies know we’re desperate to be lied to and willing to pay for it. And every so often, when we’re sold a fantasy that is so well made, that seems to tap so deeply into our very real sense of imminent catastrophe, and that seems so self-aware about the fantasy itself, certain people respond to it as if it’s the Truth. “The Dark Knight” movies are such a fantasy, and if they matter to you as anything more than extremely well-made and provocative entertainment, you really need to interrogate yourself (and maybe your friends) as to why.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="articlePluckHidden" style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A final thought: The idea of the mask matters quite a bit in this. The superhero movies that dominate our box offices are all about mild-mannered secret identities and the power that comes with donning a facial covering. We live each day through digital masks: screen names, online personas, Twitter feeds, Facebook posts, and on and on, each an attempt to show the world the face we want to be, rather than the face we fear we have. The gunman in Aurora wore a mask, too, to protect himself from his own tear gas, or to avoid being seen, or to play to the pathetic fantasy in his head that he was Doom personified instead of an angry 24-year-old.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="" style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<div style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In reality — <em style="border: 0px; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">real </em>reality, maybe you’ve forgotten? — no one wears a mask. Someday a lot of people are going to have to face up to that.</span><br />

She was also involved with the You Can Play Project, a gay-rights group that supports equality in the locker room.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">Her friend </span><a class="taxInlineTagLink" href="http://www.latimes.com/topic/entertainment/music/pete-burns-PECLBX000785.topic" id="PECLBX000785" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 20px; text-decoration: none;" title="Pete Burns">Peter Burns</a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">, a sports radio host, told CNN that he recently met with Ghawi to discuss her idea to provide free sports equipment — especially hockey gear — to kids who had lost theirs in the Colorado wildfires.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">"She wanted to help," said her brother.

"I specialize in sports media and snark," she wrote. "Not your typical sarcastic feisty redhead attempting to perfect the trifecta of class, sass, and crass. Yankee born, Texas raised, Colorado blooming."</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">Hours before the midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises," Ghawi joked on Twitter that she'd had to "coerce" a guy into going with her. She was with her ex-boyfriend and good friend Brent Lowak, who was visiting from San Antonio, said Lowak's father, Larry. Brent Lowak was shot and underwent successful surgery, his father told a San Antonio TV station.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">Jordan Ghawi, writing on his blog, gave an account of his sister's last moments after he spoke with Brent Lowak.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">When shots rang out, Lowak and Jessica Ghawi immediately dropped to the floor, Jordan Ghawi wrote.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">Lowak called 911, heard Ghawi scream and realized that she had been shot in the leg. He applied pressure to her wound but was soon shot himself.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">"While still administering </span><a class="taxInlineTagLink" href="http://www.latimes.com/topic/health/health-treatments/first-aid-0700300027.topic" id="0700300027" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 20px; text-decoration: none;" title="First Aid">first aid</a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">, Brent noticed that Jessica was no longer screaming," Ghawi wrote.

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">Crosses were erected on a hill above Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., in 1999.</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="margin-bottom: 1em;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">The news of the horrifying armed assault in Aurora, Colo. — just a half-hour drive from the site of the Columbine High School shootings in 1999 — has a freakish resonance in a state that has long played an unsought role in the national debate over gun laws and firearm rights.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">As a mountain state, Colorado has a history of broad support for Second Amendment rights. But in the years since the Columbine tragedy, the state’s lawmakers and voters passed some gun restrictions, including requirements governing the sale of firearms at gun shows, a law regulating people’s ability to carry concealed weapons and legislation banning “straw purchases” of weapons for people who would not qualify to buy them legitimately.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">Still, James Holmes, 24, the former neuroscience student believed to be the lone gunman in Friday’s shootings in Aurora, armed himself with an assault rifle, a shotgun and a handgun to allegedly kill 12 and wound 59 others, many critically. All were weapons that would probably be legal for him to possess.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">“The guy basically had normal guns,” said Eugene Volokh, an expert in constitutional law at the University of California, Los Angeles. Unless some new evidence of documented psychiatric disturbance emerges, Mr. Volokh added, “there’s no indication that, from his record, he is someone whom more restrictive screening procedures would have caught.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">Despite the changes over the past 13 years, Colorado law still prohibits local governments from restricting gun rights in several significant ways. Moreover, gun rights organizations have successfully fought other efforts to restrict access to guns, including blocking a University of Colorado rule prohibiting concealed weapons on campus.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">People in Colorado are allowed to carry firearms in a vehicle, loaded or unloaded, as long as the gun is intended for lawful uses like personal protection or protecting property.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">Carrying a concealed weapon requires a permit, but Colorado is among those states whose rules on permits are relatively lax, said Heather Morton of the National Conference of State Legislatures. Colorado is one of 38 “shall issue” states. She explained that this meant “if a person complies with all of the requirements, then the state must issue a concealed weapons permit.” (By other measures, the number of states whose laws amount to “shall issue” is closer to 41.) Factors that might keep someone from being able to get a permit generally include felony convictions, mental illness or protective orders.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">Other states have a tougher “may issue” law, which gives discretion to withhold a permit to an authority like the local sheriff or department of public safety.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">Getting a concealed weapon permit in Denver is a relatively straightforward affair, according to materials put online by the Denver Police Department. Information forms and the application are available online; the process costs $152.50, payable by certified check or money order. Denver’s Web page describing the process warns, “Do not bring any weapon with you when you bring your application for review.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">The latest shootings will almost certainly lead to efforts to tighten gun laws. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence issued a statement that laid the blame on lax gun laws: “The horrendous shooting in Aurora, Colo., is yet another tragic reminder that we have a national problem of easy availability of guns in this country.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">On his weekly radio appearance Friday morning, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York called for the presidential candidates to make gun issues a part of their campaigns.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">Yet another tragedy is not likely to shift the national debate over guns, said David Kopel, an adjunct professor at the Denver University law school and the research director of the Independence Institute, a libertarian organization in Denver. He noted that gun violence did not seem to bring about national restrictions on gun rights.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">“The gun prohibition people tried to use Gabrielle Giffords and the Trayvon Martin case to get their cause going again, and weren’t particularly successful with that,” he said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">At the state level, he added, having fought pitched battles over gun rights since the 1980s, “we’re at a reasonably well settled point,” and “the legislature is not that interested in opening it up again.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">Mr. Volokh said the fragmentary information available so far about Mr. Holmes and the attack did not make a strong case for reform.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">“The only weapons-control solution that could do anything about this kind of murder would be a total ban on guns,” he said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">“It’s hard to prevent someone who is really bent on committing a crime from getting them,” he added, and “it’s unlikely that gun laws are going to stop him.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">In the never-ending argument, tragedy can become a talking point. Luke O’Dell, a spokesman for the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, a Colorado-based group that fights gun control measures, said private gun restrictions may well have had “tragic consequences” in the shootings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small; line-height: 18px;">He noted that the theater chain that owns the Aurora movie house bans firearms on the premises, and said that if other patrons had been legally able to carry weapons, the death toll might have been less. Mr. O’Dell also said that Mayor Bloomberg’s call for a discussion of gun issues was “exploiting the blood of these innocent victims to advance his political agenda.”</span></div>

LOS ANGELES – 2012 is shaping up to be such a big year for Anne Hathaway that she said she has not even really made big plans for her wedding next year. In addition to playing the iconic Catwoman in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises,” Anne is also generating excitement over her portrayal of another popular figure, Fantine, in Tom Hooper’s adaptation of the hit stage musical, “Les Miserables.”</div>

Still wearing her short haircut for “Les Miz,” and looking radiant and younger-looking (she turns 30 in November), Anne was visibly jazzed up as she talked about her two major roles this year.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
In the much-anticipated musical based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel, Anne is in terrific company: Hugh Jackman (Jean Valjean), Russell Crowe (Javert), Amanda Seyfried (Cosette), Helena Bonham Carter (Madame Thenardier), Samantha Barks (Eponine) and Sacha Baron Cohen (Thenardier).</div>

In an unusual move, Hooper decided that the cast should sing live on-set, not lip-synch to prerecorded tracks.</div>

“Hugh is going to blow people’s minds in the movie,” Anne predicted. “There’s something so deep and almost spiritual about his performance. I’ve never seen anything like it.”</div>

“Russell also blew my mind,” said the actress, pixie-ish in her short do and little black dress. “I’ve never seen an actor work as hard as he did to become Javert and to increase his vocal range. When Russell sang ‘Stars’ to me, I cried. It was so full of emotion and nuance, and his voice was so strong! It was like heaven every day to be with two beautiful men with such goodness inside of them.”</div>

Laughing, she quipped, “It made me want to make all my projects musicals.”</div>

Anne choked a bit as she answered our question on her experience singing “I Dreamed A Dream,” the musical’s haunting anthem. “The way we approached ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ is very different than it is on the show,” she began. “We put it at a different spot in the movie. In the show, it happens after she loses her job at the factory. In our version, it’s after her first experience as a prostitute, so I was really in a raw place when I did it. It was painful.”</div>

Anne pointed out, “My version is very different. I performed it first for Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schonberg.” Anne said that once she got the composers’ approval, she gained some confidence, but she was still daunted when it was time to shoot the scene.</div>

She recalled, “On the first take, I definitely felt the weight of the song’s fame and its iconic nature. Tom Hooper came up to me. I said, ‘I’m scared, Tom.’ He said, ‘It’s not an iconic song. This is a woman’s soul that you are expressing. Just focus on that.’ I did, and the next take was the one he went with.”</div>

In a serendipitous twist, Anne first heard “I Dreamed” as a young girl when her mother, Kate McCauley, sang it as Fantine in the first US national tour of “Les Miz.”</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
“I don’t know if I was born to play the role, but I definitely had a leg up,” Anne said with a smile. “The first time I saw ‘Les Miz’ was with my mom in it, playing the part that I wound up playing, too. So, to say that I carry this music inside of me is an understatement.”</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Looking ahead, she said, “I think the next 10 years will be about trying to find challenges within my career, making sure that my life remains fulfilling. I’m getting married, so it will be really exciting.” Anne’s fiancé is Adam Shulman, an actor and jewelry designer. He designed the ring he gave her when they were engaged late last year.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The wedding has been set for next year. “Not this year,” Anne confirmed. “This year’s too big. We want to have a little more time to plan.”</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
She expressed gratitude for the challenging roles that landed on her lap. After getting an Oscar Best Actress nod for her performance in “Rachel Getting Married,” Anne said she almost could not believe the next breaks that came her way. “Here comes along Chris Nolan, with an offer that was so enticing and seemingly impossible,” she enthused about her Catwoman role. “Then, there’s ‘Les Miz,’ and I had to sing live for 12 hours a day. You never know when you’re going to be challenged next. I’m looking forward to scaring myself more.”</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
“‘Dark Knight’ was a big challenge,” she stressed. “‘Les Miz’ was a huge challenge. I feel that I did grow as a result of them. I’ve never been happier. To say that while you’re turning 30 is a cool thing.”</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Anne lost weight for “Les Miz,” but she stressed, there was no pressure for her to drop pounds for “Dark Knight.” “I didn’t have to lose weight for the cat suit,” she declared.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
She volunteered, “What I was told was I needed to be strong enough to do all my own fighting. The attitude was to let me spend a few months getting strong, and whatever the result was, physically, that was going to be what Catwoman was going to look like.”</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
“For ‘Les Miz,’ since I play a tubercular, impoverished prostitute, my weight-loss regimen was to make me look incredibly sick and near death. I lost 25 pounds. It was very hard.”</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
In addition to hoping that her dream to play Judy Garland in a biopic comes true, Anne wants to have kids: “I hope to be a mother,” she enthused. “The next few years will be about trying to continue finding the balance between having a happy home life and a fulfilling career!”</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
With all of the talk that has surrounded the Los Angeles Lakers and their supposedly imminent deal to acquire Dwight Howard from the Orlando Magic there has also been talk surrounding the other major piece of the trade, Andrew Bynum. As things stand right now -- with the Cleveland Cavaliers in the picture -- the Cavaliers would acquire Bynum, Anderson Varejao would end up in Orlando and of course the Lakers would acquire Howard. However, to some Laker fans, it appears as if getting rid of Bynum and taking on Howard is a big mistake.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Those comments and suggestions really got me thinking about who the better acquisition actually is and why. So without much hesitation, let's jump right in and decide who the better acquisition is:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Pros and cons of acquiring Dwight Howard</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the positive side, the Lakers would be acquiring the best big man in the game - something I have no doubts about. Howard joining the Lakers would automatically push Los Angeles to be counted as the favorite to win the Western Conference, if not the 2012-2013 NBA championship. To put it simply, Howard's physique and skill are unparalleled. On the negative side, you have his issues with his back. That always seems to be everyone's concern when discussing Howard but he hasn't really missed much time with an injury of any sort in his career. In his eight years of experience, he has played in 621 of a possible 640 games.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Pros and cons of acquiring Andrew Bynum</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When looking at Bynum, he certainly has the size to play center in the NBA. His body type reflects that of Shaquille O'Neal rather than the muscular and slim-waisted physique of Dwight Howard - perhaps making him less durable depending on how you break it down. However his physical body affects his career is far less relevant to his general attitude. Being big is one thing, but if he can't play smart and play the game as a professional it could take a toll on Bynum's career. Bynum has the talent and potential, but it is his negative outlook that I think holds him back from truly unleashing that potential. Maybe a change of scenery will do that or perhaps it could send him into a deeper state of apathy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>And the verdict reads…</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dwight Howard. 9.9 times out of 10 I'm taking the Magic's big man to be the center on my team. He may have his moments of indecisiveness and selfishness when it comes to his contract and where he wants to play, but his on the court attitude is of the no-quit variety. Besides, Howard bests Bynum in nearly every category statistically. Which means just one thing; Dwight Howard had better be on his way to Los Angeles if the Lakers want to become a contender for years to come - even after Mr. Kobe Bryant hangs up his sneakers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Food for thought: Bynum or Howard? Which player do you take as your starting center? Is it even a close call or does one player absolutely blow the other out of the water?</div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">A river is a natural watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing toward an ocean, a lake, a sea, or another river. In a few cases, a river simply flows into the ground or dries up completely before reaching another body of water. Small rivers may also be called by several other names including stream, creek, brook, rivulet, tributary and rill; there is no general rule that defines what can be called a river, although in some countries or communities a stream may be defined by its size. There are number of rivers in the world but most of them these days are polluted. But still in this world of pollution and contamination, there are few rivers which are completely clean. So here is a list of five cleanest rivers of the world. Have a look!</span>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">The Li River originates in the Mao'er Mountains in Xing'an County and flows in the general southern direction through Guilin, Yangshuo and Pingle. In Pingle the Li River merges with two other streams, and continues south as the Gui River, which falls into the Xi Jiang, the western tributary of the Pearl River, in Wuzhou. The 437-kilometer course of the Li and Gui Rivers is flanked by green hills. Cormorant fishing is often associated with the Lijiang (see bird intelligence). Its unusual karst topography hillsides have often been compared to those at Halong Bay, Vietnam.</span>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">The Torne River is a river in northern Sweden and Finland. Approximately half of the river's length is a part of the border between these two countries. It rises at Lake Torne near the border with Norway and flows generally southeast for a distance of 522 kilometers (324 mi) into the Gulf of Bothnia. It is the largest river in Norrbotten both by length and by watershed area and is also one of the cleanest rivers in the world. The source of the Torne River is generally considered to be Lake Torne near the border with Norway. Lake Torne is fed by Njuoraätno and Kåppasjåkka in the west. Beyond the lake, the Torne rivers flows unhindered by any concentrations of human inhabitants until the village of Kurravaara, around 12 kilometres (7 mi) northeast of Kiruna.</span>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Myriad Pro', Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">The St. Croix River is a tributary of the Mississippi River, approximately 164 miles (264 km) long, in the U.S. states of Wisconsin and Minnesota. The lower 125 miles (201 km) of the river form the border between Wisconsin and Minnesota. The river is a National Scenic Riverway under the protection of the National Park Service. A hydroelectric plant at St. Croix Falls supplies power to the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. The St. Croix River rises in the northwestern corner of Wisconsin, out of Upper St. Croix Lake in Douglas County, near Solon Springs, approximately 20 miles (32 km) south of Lake Superior. It flows south to Gordon, then southwest. It is joined by the Namekagon River in northern Burnett County, where it becomes significantly wider. A few miles downstream the St. Croix meets the boundary between Minnesota and Wisconsin, which it demarcates for another 130 miles (210 km) until its confluence with the Mississippi River.</span>

The Tara is a river in Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. It emerges from the confluence of the Opasnica and Veruša Rivers in the Prokletije mountain, part of Dinaric Alps of Montenegro. The total length is 144 km, of which 110 km are in Montenegro, while the final 34 km are in Bosnia and Herzegovina; it also forms the border between the two countries in several places. The Tara flows from south to north, then north-west and converges with the Piva at the Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro border between the villages of Šćepan Polje (Montenegro) and Hum (Bosnia and Herzegovina) to form the Drina river.</span>

This is a major feat considering that 50 years ago the river was so polluted that it was declared biologically dead. From 1830 to 1860 tens of thousands of people died of cholera as a result of the pollution in the Thames. Sewage was being discharged directly into the Thames. It was decided that 'Treatment plants' should be built to clean the water from the Thames before it was pumped to homes. The treatment plants also cleaned dirty water from homes before it went back into the Thames. Not only did the people's health improve, but also the water in the Thames became cleaner. In the 1960s new laws were made to stop factories letting their dirty water go into the river. Today more than half of London's sewage sludge is sold in pellet form as fertilizer for agricultural use.</span>
