Once upon a time, Heather Graham really wanted to play a murderer. Fresh off career-making turns as the porn star Rollergirl in "Boogie Nights" and the short shorts-wearing CIA agent Felicity Shagwell in "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me," Graham wasn't having trouble getting work. "I'm just really intrigued, not only as an actress but as an audience member, by movies that are from a female storytelling perspective." But Graham didn't dwell on what could have been. The network just didn't really believe in it, and they pulled it after an episode.

She’ll broadcast that process for her more than 450,000 followers once students leave the library and the school day is done. Miller’s account, “Meet Me in the Media Center,” is a fixture on “LibraryTok,” a community of creators who also happen to be librarians. “I think that bit of nostalgia wrapped into the sentiment of the library and hopefully a kind face all come together to make an inviting space to land on Library TikTok,” Miller said. Though her popularity was unexpected, it’s welcome, especially when she hears from commenters that she’s changing their impression of school libraries. Books, Miller said, are “windows and mirrors,” a concept introduced by famed children’s literature professor Rudine Sims Bishop.

When she saw the video start to circulate of former President Donald J. Trump at a rally on Saturday imitating President Biden stuttering, she had two competing reactions. Mr. Trump had made fun of Mr. Biden’s stutter before, and a part of Ms. McManus figured he would do it again. But as she watched and rewatched the clip, the other reaction was a painful one. “I think it gets to a very visceral feeling for all people who stutter,” said Ms. McManus, 35, a palliative care nurse practitioner in Providence, R.I., who said she was an unaffiliated former Democrat. Heather Grossman, a speech pathologist who works with people who stutter, burst into tears thinking of her patients while she watched it.

Even though Russia may dwarf a small state, that doesn't guarantee a successful airport seizure.

Stringer points to a special airport defense regiment that Switzerland stationed at Zurich Airport during the Cold War, as a good model.

☆ Polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, linked with cognitive decline, study finds
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-31 | by ( Kristen Rogers | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

CNN —Polycystic ovary syndrome, known as PCOS, has long been known for symptoms such as missed periods or excess body hair. Polycystic ovary syndrome refers to symptoms related to a hormonal imbalance in people assigned female at birth. “Our results suggest that people with this condition have lower memory and thinking skills and subtle brain changes at midlife. The findings highlight “potential cognitive vulnerabilities in women with PCOS, though it’s important to know that these are cognitive weaknesses, not impairments,” Maki said. For one, the study showed an association between PCOS and cognitive decline, but didn’t prove that the condition causes cognitive decline, the authors said.

The new era of higher interest rates has reignited a long-smoldering Wall Street debate: Is it better for ordinary investors to buy individual bonds outright? Or shares of bond mutual funds? During the yearslong period of near-zero interest rates, the answer seemed simple: Funds had low fees and were easy to buy and sell, and share values rose alongside bond prices. If any one bond defaulted, losses were minimal.

Ormond’s claim alleges that Weinstein sexually assaulted her in 1995 after a business dinner and that Ormond told her agents about it, and that they advised her against speaking out about it. “Harvey Weinstein categorically denies the allegations made against him by Julia Ormond and he is prepared to vehemently defend himself,” a representative for Weinstein told CNN in a statement. It includes awful, if unsurprising, details from the lawsuit about what happened when she told her agents at the time. In addition, after the incident and her disclosure of it to her agents, Ormond says CAA lost interest in representing her and her career was damaged dramatically anyway.
