Moscow, Belgium is a quaint movie about Matty and her family: her art teacher husband Werner, (Johan Heldenbergh) with whom she’s been since high school, her daughters Vera and Fien, and a son named Peter.
Matty (Barbara Sarafian) works in the post office and probably thought her life had been made and that she’d live a nice, ripe old age laying in the arms of Werner. But at some point, Werner had a mid-life crisis and he left Matty and his children to go live with a younger woman named Gail. Matty figured her only probl...

LISBON, Mar 22 (IPS) - The huge impact of the economic crisis on male employment in Portugal has led to a sharp increase in the proportion of women who have become the main breadwinners in their families. But that has not translated into progress towards equality.
"Today there is more male unemployment than female, because the crisis has especially affected the civil construction industry," said Anália Torres, a professor at the Technical University of Lisbon's Higher Institute of Social and Political Sciences.
"With less economic activity in that industry, which traditionally employs men, the male unemployment rate has climbed, while in sectors that generally employ women, unemployment grew much less," Torres said in an interview with IPS.

ATLANTA — Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank will watch his team host an NFC championship game for the first time Sunday, and if he gets his way, he'll soon be sitting in the owner's box of a $1 billion retractable-roof stadium downtown.
But Blank isn't getting a lot of help from Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal and other politicians. Deal supports using $300 million in revenue from an existing hotel tax to partner with Blank on a new complex to replace the 21-year-old Georgia Dome, but he says the owner must do the heavy lifting.
Jockeying between major sports franchises and governments over the financing of new stadiums is nothing new, but the chilly reception the Atlanta proposal has gotten from the public and many state lawmakers is surprising some in this business-friendly state. Though the t

Former Ultimate Electronics store considered for pawn shop
A Minnesota-based pawn shop chain wants to lease the former 40,000-square-foot Ultimate Electronics store in Greenfield.
The building, at 4585 S. 76th St., was left vacant in March after Ultimate Electronics shut down.
A public hearing on the pawn shop proposal, from Exchange Street, has been tentatively set for June 21, according to an article in Greenfield Now.com by reporter Jane Ford-Stewart. She reports that local officials aren't thrilled about the proposal.
Exchange Street is operated by Burnsville, Minn.-based Pawn America.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) - Nearly four decades ago, on a dreary night in New Orleans, two titans of college football met for the first time.
It was a time of jarring social and political turmoil in America: the pain of the civil rights movement was still fresh and U.S. troops were finally home from an unpopular war in Vietnam.
Against that backdrop, Notre Dame and Alabama played for the national title in the 1973 Sugar Bowl. It was North vs. South.
The teams didn't just live up the hype, they blew it away.
The game of the year became a game for the ages - and Notre Dame won, 24-23.
On Monday night, the teams meet again, with another national title on the line.

The business of Monkey
No Monkey Business began life in the pages of a book.

PARKERSBURG - Despite the economic downturn of the past few years and rising and falling fuel prices each year, local officals believe local tourism has responded positively for the most part.
The summer season in the Mid-Ohio Valley includes a variety of pubic events, tourism locations and other activities for people living in the local area and those visiting from elsewhere.
Attendance has remained generally positive for events like the area homecoming festivals, fairs and other events, while attractions like Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park continue to see people interested in visiting.

INDIANAPOLIS -- By the time the NFL's 32 teams arrive here for next week's NFL Scouting Combine, much of the work that goes into the draft will be done.
Every player invited to the combine has put a college career on tape, area scouts have made dozens of campus visits, draft meetings have been held, initial boards have been set and opinions have formed.
Can things change between now and April 26? Certainly. But the most important stuff -- the track record that counts -- is already in the books.
With that in mind, here are five of the most intriguing questions -- that still need to be answered -- going into next week's Indianapolis meat market ...

Terrilynn Monette, a 26-year-old elementary school teacher who helped her second-graders turn their academic performances around, has apparently vanished.
The California native, who moved to New Orleans as part of that city's initiative to improve teaching in impoverished zones, was last seen with friends on March 2 after visiting Parlay's, a bar in the town's Lakeview section, police tell CNN.
That night, Monette had been "cut off" by a bartender who said she had too much to drink, according to Parlay's manager Anna Boudousque. The teacher was celebrating her nomination as "Teacher of the Year" in her district.
