Golf Still Needs Tiger Woods, but Ben Crane Provides Much-Needed Laughs
By Tom Krasovic - AOL NewsSAN DIEGO -- Tiger Woods wasn't at Torrey Pines golf course Tuesday, thankfully. Allowed me and the real golf writers more time with my new pal, Ben Crane. Crane won the PGA event here last January, then said he won because he hadn't expected to win. Many golfers are full of hooey like that. But come to find, Crane has a gift for goofy. Clowning with friends, he recently acted a loon in two videos that became YouTube hits. The pale and bald former Oregon Duck's 90-second bursts of silly prompted more fan feedback than his three PGA wins in nine years. "It's been an amazing response," he ...

Obama Optimistic but Wary About Vote on Southern Sudan Secession
By Tom Kavanagh - Politics DailyWith a two-decade-long civil war that claimed 2 million lives as a backdrop, voters in southern Sudan on Sunday began a week-long voting process expected to lead to secession from the brutal government in Khartoum. In a statement, President Obama congratulated the Sudanese for the promising start to the voting, but warned that "the international community is united and determined to ensure that all parties in Sudan live up to their obligations. . . . Voters must be allowed access to polling stations, and must be able to cast their ballots free from intimidation and coercion." Former ...
Google Justice: From Violence in Sudan to Drug Busts in Wisconsin
By Dave Thier - AOL NewsSearch giant Google has already revolutionized the the way the world looks for stuff online, but now George Clooney and the United Nations are hoping it may be able to help curb genocide. The Hollywood star is funding the Satellite Sentinel Project, a joint effort involving Google, the U.N. and anti-genocide organizations to train satellite cameras on areas where violence is likely to erupt when southern Sudan votes on a secession referendum Jan. 9. "This is as if this were 1943 and we had a camera inside Auschwitz and we said, 'OK, if you guys don't want to do anything about it, that's one ...

By Monica Garske - AOL News(Dec. 14) -- Though some critics may argue that 2010 was an unusually bad year for cinema, one movie buff is choosing to look at the bright side: At least it was a banner year for nude scenes. That's the skinny from Jim "Mr. Skin" McBride, a Chicago film lover who's made a longtime career out of tracking and recording every titillating female nude scene ever to grace the silver screen on his popular website, MrSkin.com. Mr. Skin has just revealed his prime picks for the "Top 10 Nude Scenes of 2010," and he told AOL News exclusively that despite the selection of bad flicks this year, ...
Tensions High as Sudan Stands at Crossroads
By Betwa Sharma - AOL News
UNITED NATIONS (Oct. 17) -- With fewer than 100 days left before the people of South Sudan vote on whether to declare independence from the North, international observers are warning that the Jan. 9 referendum could lead to another round in the deadly cycle of violence between the two sides. North and South have already endured decades of warfare, and the South is expected to vote for a split. In the latest hurdle, North Sudanese leaders declared it would be impossible to carry out a referendum in the oil-rich district of Abyei, which has to decide whether to go with the North or South ...
Opinion: Can George Clooney Help Prevent Genocide in Sudan?
By Barbara Slavin - AOL News(Oct. 13) -- George Clooney has certainly had more lavish accommodations than the hut where he stayed recently on a fact-finding tour in south Sudan. The Academy Award-winning actor returned with a stark warning: An agreement must be negotiated now about the fate of south Sudan after a Jan. 9, 2011, referendum or Africa could see another genocidal conflict on the order of Rwanda, Congo and Darfur. There is "an opportunity to prevent atrocities," Clooney told the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington on Tuesday night. "Not mopping up afterwards. ... If we do nothing, hundreds of ...
