| Famous glamorous female bodyguard killed in Moscow
BEIJING, Jan. 30 (Xinhuanet) -- Anna Loginova, Russia's most famous and glamorous female bodyguard, has been killed in Moscow while trying to defend her Porsche Cayenne from a hijacker, media reported. Loginova, also a former model and the head of a private security firm, on Sunday tried to fight off the carjacker and clung to the door handle. She was killed after being dragged along the street at high speed as the car screeched away. "She suffered serious injuries and died at the scene," said a police spokesman. Loginova was a famous Russian model before venturing into the security business and had shot advertising campaigns for BMW, Chanel and other world-known brands. She took lessons of Jiu-Jitsu martial art and mastered the sword handling.

Time to bring back happy Hollywood
My main problem with this view is that it's wrong. I once spent a year living with illegal immigrants and cut-price sex workers, before returning to my normal life among sick gamblers, alcoholics, drug addicts and criminals. My mother's delighted. But I've never been part of any world that didn't have hope, fellowship, humour and, where desired, redemption. That's because a world without those things doesn't exist. These films, which think they're so bloody sophisticated and clever, are as stupid as Disney would have been if Bambi's mother had died at the end. Bounce bounce bounce, kiss kiss kiss, then the whole herd is blasted to death by a landmine and everybody goes home. Their glass isn't just half-empty, it's got a cracked rim and a dose of arsenic at the bottom. When I was a teenager, I knew a lot of boys who saw only nastiness in the world and wanted all art to reflect it.
Waxman Challenges White House E-Mail Claim
If the chart of e-mail missing from archives turns out to be accurate, the backup tapes should contain substantially all e-mails sent or received in the 2003-2005 time period, the White House court declaration said. "We have no reason to believe that there is any data missing at all" from White House computer servers, said Fratto. "And we've certainly found no evidence of any data missing." The court declaration said the White House was undertaking an independent assessment of a chart to determine whether any e-mail is missing. The White House's latest statements represent a shift from what it was saying last spring when it seemed uncertain whether e-mail was missing from the archives or not. The latest statements also represent a shift from what the White House apparently told prosecutors over two years ago in the probe into the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's name.
Renuka intervention in Mumbai molestation sparks row
Chowdhury's move to convene the meeting of the legal experts has come after reports that the Maharashtra government made some attempts to hush up the case and drop charges against the accused. The Mumbai police have arrested 14 youths for allegedly molesting the two NRI women. The girls, who hail from Gujarat and are settled in the US, were accompanied by two men and were molested and groped by a crowd of over 70 men on exiting from a five-star hotel in suburban Juhu after a dance performance. In a front-page article, the Shiv Sena mouthpiece Samna defended the men suspected to have molested the two women, and said they were actually trying to save the women, not harass them. It also blamed the "outsiders" for the crime and said they had done it to tarnish the city's image.
