Sharapova, Simon, Davydenko Win Titles




Maria Sharapova got a little help in winning her first title since returning from shoulder surgery, raising the cup after opponent Jelena Jankovic retired with a right wrist injury trailing 2-5 in the first set. “It was my second final of the year and I was a bit nervous,” said the unseeded Sharapova. “But I played well enough this week to know I could give her a good match. I just wanted to keep fighting out there and unfortunately Jelena had to stop.”
Sharapova missed nine months of play from August 2008 to May 2009 due to a prolonged recovery from surgery that had many doubting if she could every return to form. “To go from not knowing whether you’ll ever play the sport again to holding a trophy, it’s an unbelievable feeling” Sharapova said. “You realize what a gift it is to hit a tennis ball. I’ve put in so much work and this is just exciting.”

Hollywood stars sign petition to free Roman Polanski




Harrison Ford, Natalie Portman, Tilda Swinton, Gael Garcia Bernal, and John Landis have all signed the petition to have all apparently signed a petition to free the currently 'jailed' film director Roman Polanski. The helmer was arrested in Switzerland last month for charges that date all of the way back to the 1970's.

Obama Quietly Tries to Shore Up Senate Support for Public Option...



Despite months of outward ambivalence about creating a government health insurance plan, the Obama White House has launched a behind-the-scenes campaign to get divided Senate Democrats to take up some version of the idea for a final vote in the coming weeks.

President Obama has cited a preference for the so-called public option. But faced with intense criticism over the summer, he strategically expressed openness to health cooperatives and other ways to offer consumers potentially more affordable alternatives to private health plans.

In the last week, however, senior administration officials have been holding private meetings almost daily at the Capitol with senior Democratic staff to discuss ways to include a version of the public plan in the healthcare bill that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) plans to bring to the Senate floor this month, according to senior Democratic congressional aides.

Among those regularly in the meetings are Obama's top healthcare advisor, Nancy-Ann DeParle; aides to Reid; and staff from the Senate Finance and Health committees, both of which developed healthcare bills.

The measure that goes to the floor will be an amalgam of the two committees' bills, put together by Reid and key Democrats. The health committee bill contains a national government plan; the finance committee version does not.

Obama has also been reaching out personally to rank-and-file Senate Democrats, telephoning more than a dozen in the last week to press for action.

The White House initiative, unfolding largely out of public view, follows months in which the president appeared to defer to senior lawmakers on Capitol Hill as they labored to put together gargantuan healthcare bills.
