But reindeer meat never took off in @placeholder for many reasons, most notably pressure from the cattle lobby and changes in laws about who could own reindeer in the U.S. -- the right eventually going in 1937 to indigenous American cultures, excluding even the Sami.
Finnmark, Norway (CNN) -- Millions of people know Clement Clarke Moore's poem "The Night Before Christmas," written in New York in 1822 and believed to describe Santa's mode of transportation, a reindeer-driven sleigh, for the first time. But Santa's reindeer have a story and a history all of their own, one tied to the oldest indigenous culture in Northern Europe and accelerated by an American entrepreneur whose principal intention was not delighting children around the world, but creating an appetite for what he hoped would become a mealtime staple as ubiquitous as beef. For thousands of years here in the snowy Arctic of northern Norway, reindeer have been a symbol and a way of life for the Sami, Northern Europe's oldest surviving indigenous people, spanning parts of Norway, Finland, Sweden and the Kola Peninsula of Russia, in an area that is known as Sapmi. (They are also called Laplanders.)

(CNN) -- Tim Tebow wants to be an inspiration. As the Denver Broncos quarterback approaches the second round of the NFL playoffs, a documentary offers a detailed look at his quest to convince the teams that he could bring his college success to the pro level. With typical humility, he says he just hopes the film inspires young people. "I hope it's a positive message for kids who (are) trying to accomplish their dreams," he told ESPN's Bill Williamson. "I want to show them that there are adversity and obstacles for everyone, but you can make it. I am honestly living my dream, but I had adversity and obstacles. I want kids to get hope from this." @highlight Chase Heavener spent four months chronicling quarterback's NFL dreams @highlight Heavener was friends with Tim Tebow, who gave him unfettered access to his training @highlight Documentary follows Tebow from last game in college to night he gets drafted @highlight Heavener says Tebow is the real deal, what you see is how he really is

A group of @placeholder border officials in neat uniforms boarded the train, collecting passports from passengers.
It was an experience like no other. As my train from Beijing slowly traversed over an old iron bridge, I looked at the murky river below. A man stood waist-deep in the water casting a net. On one side of the river, China. On the other, the world's most isolated country -- North Korea. Soon, the first North Korean buildings appeared along with a small, abandoned fairground hidden in the shadow of some houses. The train made a sudden stop. People flooded a station platform. We'd stopped at Shinuju Cheongnyeon Station across the bridge that links Shinuju with the Chinese border city of Dandong. @highlight Olaf Schuelker took candid photos of normal life in North Korea @highlight Guards or guides were always close by during the trip @highlight Schuelke: North Koreans seem no different from other people

And although DIRT: Showdown was a dead end, Codemasters are now back on track. Whereas Showdown didn't quite know what it was, Grid 2's confidence is there for all to see. Be that in the glossy TV-style presentation, stirring cinematic audio or its garish LiveRoutes mechanic.

(CNN) -- Language experts weighed in Thursday after poring over the nearly 2,700 words of President Obama's Oval Office speech on the Gulf oil disaster. "It was straightforward and easy to understand," said Ron Yaros, assistant professor at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland, referring to the explanations of the crisis and its possible solutions. He divided the speech into 1,200 "idea units," each of which represents a point the president was trying to make. He then looked at how many of those idea units contained jargon -- unexplained terms that the average person might not recognize -- and found none in the 65 idea units that explained the problem. @highlight Nearly 2,700 words with little jargon @highlight People understand spoken and written word differently @highlight Payack gives Obama "Solid B"
