Saturday’s shocking result in Ann Arbor is every bit about what Appalachian State accomplished as it is about what Michigan didn’t, writes Pat Forde.

Hey folks, Harry here… According to ThisIsNottingham.co.uk there’s a rumor that a British Soap star has traded in the suds, for pancake makeup and lap position on Heath Leadger’s JOKER in THE DARK KNIGHT. Or is she? There’s a lot places for a beautiful actress in a small part in THE DARK KNIGHT, but at this point, I’ve heard nothing about Harley Quinn - or even her pre-identity appearing in the film - and nothing in any of the original source articles give details on her role. So - as much as many of you want to see the Joker’s wet dream, and ours… Nolan has been grounding this series more than making it a Where’s Waldo affair. But who knows - maybe the toy companies have gotten to him…

Carmelo Anthony scored 27 points, Michael Redd had 23, and the Americans clinched a spot in the 2008 Olympics by crushing Puerto Rico 135-91 on Saturday.

Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland pulled off the stunning upset Saturday, beating defending U.S. Open champion Maria Sharapova 6-4, 1-6, 6-2 by rallying to win the last six games of their third-round match.

In interviews with author Robert Draper, President Bush shows a keen interest in what history will say about his term, despite his frequent comments to the contrary. “I made a decision to lead,” Bush told him. “One, it makes you unpopular; two, it makes people accuse you of unilateral arrogance, and that may be true. But the fundamental question is, is the world better off as a result of your leadership?”

I have before me a schedule of the 2007 Toronto Film Festival, which opens Thursday and runs 10 days. I have been looking at it for some time. I am paralyzed. There are so many films by important directors (not to mention important films by unknown directors), that it cannot be reduced to its highlights. The highlights alone, if run in alphabetical order, would take up all my space.

N. R. Kleinfeld: Again it comes, for the sixth time now — 2,191 days after that awful morning — falling for the first time on a Tuesday, the same day of the week. Again there will be the public tributes, the tightly scripted memorial events, the reflex news coverage, the souvenir peddlers. Is all of it necessary, at the same decibel level — still? “I may sound callous, but doesn’t grieving have a shelf life?” said Charlene Correia, 57, a nursing supervisor from Acushnet, Mass. “We’re very sorry and mournful that people died, but there are living people.

Confessions up front: we’re pretty hot for any device that sports some sort of console emulator, so when faced with GamePark Holding’s GP2X, which currently boasts of SNES, NES, Genesis, MAME and quite a few other gems, it’s a little difficult to rein in the enthusiasm. That said, the new F-200 could use just a little bit of slimming — you have to really mean it if you’re going to carry this thing around instead of your PSP or DS. Otherwise we found the unit to be quite comfortable to hold and use, responsive enough in the OS department, and completely packed to the gills with features. Video playback is sluggish, but games loaded and performed quite well. We weren’t able to test the F-200’s new touchscreen, which is the only upgrade of the device over the existing F-100, but apparently it will be implemented as a mouse controller for developers to do whatever they want with the Linux device. And trust us, they will.
