Sen. Ben Nelson to announce support for health-care bill



Sen. Ben Nelson (Neb.), the final Democratic holdout on health care, was prepared to announce to his caucus Saturday morning that he would support the Senate reform bill, clearing the way for final passage by Christmas.

"We're there," said Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), as he headed into a special meeting to announce the deal.

Democratic leaders spent days trying to hammer out a deal with Nelson, and worked late Friday night with Nelson on abortion coverage language that had proved the major stumbling block. But Nelson also secured other favors for his home state.

Asked if he was prepared to support the bill, Nelson said, "Yeah."

Would-be reality TV stars can crash the White House.

But real stars -- the old-fashioned kind?
Forget about it.
G2 has learned that entertainment legend Mickey Rooney, who has met every previous president since FDR, tried to crash the White House by showing up without an appointment while he was in town early last month.

"It was very spur of the moment," explained Mr. Rooney's personal manager, Kevin Pawley. "The guards recognized him but would not let him in. He was OK with it."
It seems the 89-year-old Mr. Rooney, named the No. 1 box-office draw in movies three years in a row (1939-41), was in Washington as an honoree of a war veterans group Nov. 8-9 and wanted to stop by to shake the hand of President Obama and talk about veterans affairs, Mr. Rooney's passion.
"No successful gate-crashing even for him," Mr. Pawley says with a laugh.

Mickey Rooney will be appearing as Baron Hardup in Cinderella at Milton Keynes Theatre in England until January 17. He will also be in three films to be released in 2010

Mickey Rooney Trivia
With movie appearances stretching from 1926 to 2007, totaling 81 years, his is the longest career in cinema history, surpassing that of Lillian Gish.
In 1938, he was severely reprimanded by MGM studio head Louis B. Mayer for having a torrid affair with Norma Shearer. Mickey was 18 at the time. Shearer was 38

He was awarded 3 Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Radio, Movies and TV.

During World War II he served 22 months in the U.S. Army, five of them with the Third Army of Gen. George S. Patton. Rooney attained the rank of Sergeant, and won a Bronze Star, among other decorations
Honorary Oscar for Lifetime Achievement in 1983

Mayor Chris Doherty fires back on McCain 'tweet'
By Roger DuPuis II (Staff Writer)
Published: December 19, 2009

Mayor Chris Doherty wants Sen. John McCain to visit Scranton so he can see how federal funding is used to promote job creation and livability in the Electric City.

And no, Mr. Doherty did not "tweet" his invitation to the Arizona Republican.

"The federal funding we receive has helped put our city back on track," Mr. Doherty wrote in a letter to Mr. McCain on Friday, responding to a Dec. 12 post on the Twitter social networking site, in which the senator cited "$292,200 (for) elimination of slum & blight in Scranton, PA" as among "a few outrageous projects."

I just have this mental image of McCain going, "Why does Scranton need money to fix blight? It looks so pretty on 'The Office'!"

my cat keeps yowling, and i don't think it's boredom bc i keep trying to play w/ her and she's all disinterested, and now whenever i let her roam the house she goes straight to whatever window there is and sits on the sill yowling. fffffffffffff she's probably in heat and i can't afford to get her spayed rn. looks like it's selling plasma for me :|

BELGRADE, Serbia — The European Union on Saturday opened its borders unrestricted to more than ten million Serbs, Montenegrins and Macedonians after nearly 20 years, a major boost for the troubled region's hopes for closer ties with the 27-nation bloc.

The three western Balkan nations celebrated the lifting of visas with fireworks, concerts and all-night festivities, marking a significant milestone for citizens who have long felt shunned by the rest of Europe.

"We should all remember this day," said Serbia's Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic. "Finally, the same rules that apply for others apply for us as well."

In the Macedonian capital of Skopje, a huge countdown clock was posted at a central square where thousands attended a concert with DJs and pop singers. At midnight, champagne corks popped in a toast to the end of what many in the region thought was a humiliation.

"This is a great day, a very important day for Macedonia," said Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski.

Champagne toasts was also organized during a midnight flight to the EU seat in Brussels. Serbia's deputy Prime Minister Bozidar Djelic accompanied some 50 Serbs to their first trip ever to an EU country.

"I am not sure if I am dreaming or not, they gave us such a nice welcome," said an unidentified passenger interviewed by the Serbian state television upon arrival in the Belgian capital.

At the border with Hungary, several hundred Serbs braved freezing weather to be the first to cross the border just minutes after midnight Friday.

"We are finally free," said a smiling student from Subotica identified only as Zarko.

The citizens of the former Yugoslavia had enjoyed free travel in the past, but visa requirements were introduced as the federation was breaking up in 1991 in a series of conflicts that lasted until 1999.

The visa policy forced residents to wait in long lines at EU nations' embassies.

Travel agents in Serbia, Bosnia and Montenegro all have reported a surge in bookings for New Year's holidays after EU ministers announced the change earlier this month.

Illustrating the triumphant mood, one blogger told Belgrade's B92 television: "The last one leaving the country, please switch off the lights."

British Lions rugby legend Gareth Thomas Come Out

Gareth Thomas is a sporting legend. He captained Wales in 2005 to their first Grand Slam victory since 1978. The same year he captained the British Lions tour of New Zealand.

With 100 caps to his name - more than any other player in Welsh history - he has one of the fiercest reputations on the field, and a row of missing front teeth to prove it.

At 6ft 3in and 16st of pure muscle, his masculinity has always been an absolute given.



As a young man he bonded with rugby mates in the pub over tales of sexual conquests, and flirted with pretty girls eager to bag a sporting hero.

After his marriage in 2002 to teenage sweetheart Jemma - the woman he called his 'rock' - he spoke movingly of their desire to become parents and the heartbreak of her suffering three miscarriages.

And if anyone dared to suggest he was anything other than 100 per cent straight, Gareth 'Alfie' Thomas was prepared to make them see the error of their ways. With his fists, if necessary.

But, as he admits in the Daily Mail today, it was all a pretence, a fragile artifice - and one which came crashing down around his ears on November 4, 2006, following a Wales game in Cardiff.

Breaking down in tears in the changing rooms of the Millennium Stadium, Gareth finally realised he could not go on living a lie. Keeping his true sexuality a secret was destroying him.



That secret, which he'd kept hidden his entire career, was - he admits now - 'like a tight knot in my stomach, always threatening to seep out'.

He says: 'I was like a ticking bomb. I thought I could suppress it, keep it locked away in some dark corner of myself, but I couldn't.

'It was who I was, and I just couldn't ignore it any more.

'I'd been through every emotion under the sun trying to deal with this.

'You wake up one morning thinking: "I can handle it. Everything is fine," and the next morning you don't want anyone to see your face, because you think that if people look at you, they will know.'

That summer, he had confessed the truth to his devastated wife Jemma, unable to cope with the guilt of deceiving her.

But even as their marriage crumbled, he'd somehow hoped to maintain his charade for the rest of the world.

'My life seemed to be falling apart. Jemma and I were splitting up, and I was scared of the future and being single again as a gay man,' says Gareth, 35.

'A coach named Scott Johnson, a great man, came up to me in the dressing room after the game for a chat and I just broke down in tears.

'He said: "What's up?" 'I said: "Me and Jemma have split," and he said: "Oh no, what's happened?" Then he said: "I know what's happened, I know what it is."'

Somehow, the coach had guessed.
