What happened to Shannon Matthews? Who can we blame? The parents? A deprived background, a dysfunctional family and a down-on-its-luck Yorkshire mill town: none of this is Shannon Matthews's fault, yet it seems that she is paying the price. No holiday scene.

Dawgs here, brought football weather
I know this is not a travel blog but I trust your opinion (especially on this subject) so I have one more question, we'll be looking for a good place to watch the Duke/UNC game next Saturday night. Thinking about ESPN Club b/c of proximity to stadium. We'll be going straight there after the split squad game at Champions for food etc…BBall game not until 9 so heavy on the "etc." Where's a good place for some married 30 year olds to hang and watch the game after a day at the ball park? .

Pakistan takes baby steps to filmdom
Pakistani cinema is entering the international age with moves to normalize the country's own movie industry and the reversing of a 43-year embargo against Indian films. Caretaker minister for industries, Salman Taseer on Saturday announced that the entertainment sector has been granted 'industry status' following a decision by the Cabinet. Spanning studios, production companies and animation, the status is intended to allow the sector to build infrastructure, conduct research and engage in training schemes. "Duty-free import of equipment related to this industry will also be allowed," he said. Industry status may also allow normal financial interaction with other parts of the economy. Neighboring India's granting of industry status eight years ago foreshadowed bank lending and outside financial investments in the sector and a modernization boom.
