Depp, Streep join call to lower 'Bully' rating
LOS ANGELES (AP) ? More Hollywood heavyweights are joining the call for a lower rating on the teen-focused documentary "Bully."
The Weinstein Co, which is releasing the film March 30, said Tuesday that Johnny Depp, Meryl Streep and New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees have signed on to support the film.
Lee Hirsch's documentary on bullying in American schools has been rated R, which restricts children under 17 from seeing it without an adult. The Motion Picture Association of America, which oversees movie ratings, cited language as the reason for the R rating.
Distributors appealed the decision, but it was upheld by the MPAA.
That prompted a Michigan teenager who was bullied in middle school to start an online petition calling for a lower rating for the film so more young people can see it. She met with MPAA officials last week and delivered the 200,000 signatures she collected, but the group declined to change the rating.
Katy Butler, a 17-year-old high school junior from Ann Arbor, now has nearly 300,000 signatures on her petition on Change.org. Among them is that of New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who tweeted Monday that she supports the teen's effort to lower the film's R rating to PG-13. Gerry Lopez, chief of AMC Theaters, also added his name to the petition, the Weinstein Co. said.
MPAA spokesman Howard Gantman did not address the possibility of a PG-13 for "Bully" in his response Tuesday to the growing call for a revision of its rating.
"We respect the viewpoints of members of Congress and the public and Hollywood celebrities who care deeply about an issue that is troubling our nation," he said in an email. "The MPAA shares the goal of shining a light on the problems caused by bullying, and we hope that this new film and the national discussion about it among educators, parents and students will help lead to ways to better ensure that kids feel safe and protected when they come to school."

Who Offers Lower Interest Rates? Credit Union or Banks?
What Makes Credit Unions Different from Banks?
1. Who is the owner of the credit union? For banks, the group of businessmen commonly called as investors are the said owners that are also greatly liable in creating rules and regulations surrounding the business. Because of this, the investors? capability of making money from their own investment in the bank is also being influenced. But in the case of credit unions, the members are also the owners themselves and that, they only have officials who just volunteered to make decisions for all the members. When it comes to certain policies, everyone has the right to vote and let his decision be recognized especially if it can affect his invested money.
2. Do you make sure that your money is safe? Any amount of money that is placed safe in the bank should be in the bank as assured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and you must see that policy in all banks. On the other hand, credit unions have Credit Union National Association (CUNA) as the group responsible in assuring that your money is kept safe under the union?s protection.
3. Who are the possible members? For as long as you meet up all the necessary criteria and personal documents, you can already be a member of a bank or a credit union. Banks need as many investors as possible for their bank to continue gaining and rolling money. It is but a fact that no matter how hard these banks try to gain investors and keep them, not all of them will be banking with them forever.
In credit unions on the other hand, you cannot be a member right away without passing through a precondition. You must first supply the necessary information regarding your geography, religion, civic affiliation and workplace. Credit union limits their membership for those who can really qualify to maintain a good quality of service for their customers.
4. Is the environment friendly? Banks would really want to have more members who would want to do banking with them but the reality is that, they care less about them. That is why you get to experience the best of them on the day that you open an account and would just slowly wipes out.
In the case of credit unions, even the customers have the power to make valuable decisions for the company they are member of. Credit unions set low interests on certain loans and credit cards for the benefit of their customers; they really made some ways in order for them to maintain the interest of the members that they have.
With the best offer with regards to interest rates and other beneficial services, credit unions became really popular. Because banks have larger reserved money, they could easily answer to the big demands of their respective customers. Choosing the right financial institution as your partner for life is a serious matter, you should choose wisely between the bank or credit union.
Credit unions are said to be less popular if we compare them to banks. Though credit unions are really not common, it doesn?t follow that they are also not good. Have a quick view on the different positive things about credit unions as we try to compare those to the most common and familiar banks.

Republicans fight hard for the deep South
Republican candidates battled hard Monday on the eve of key deep South votes as a poll said front-runner Mitt Romney would beat Democrat President Barack Obama if elections were held today.
In a boost to Romney's campaign, a national poll by ABC News and The Washington Post on Monday for the first time gave the former Massachusetts governor the edge against Obama, hit by anger over rising gas prices.
If elections were held today, Romney would beat Obama 49 percent to 47 percent, the poll revealed, adding Obama's approval rating has plunged below 50 percent as he bids for a second term in the November vote.
Perhaps more worrying for the Obama campaign, the poll also showed rising national support for Romney's main rival Rick Santorum.
The survey suggests the president would only narrowly win against the former Pennsylvania senator, by 49 percent to 46 percent, underscoring the extent to which support for the the president has fallen.
Romney, who Monday marked his 65th birthday, is racking up the delegates towards the party's nomination. So far he has almost 40 percent of the 1,144 needed to win, with Santorum and former House speaker Newt Gingrich trailing.
Amid calls to quit and allow the conservative vote to coalesce around one candidate, Gingrich is fighting to stay in the race to be the Republican party nominee to challenge Obama.
He has said Tuesday's primaries in Alabama and Mississippi are must-wins after pocketing just two of the 26 contests held so far.
Hawaii also holds caucuses on Tuesday, and Romney has sent his son, Matt, to the islands to stump for him, while Santorum's daughter, Elizabeth, was also in Hawaii -- where Obama spent much of his childhood.
The stakes couldn't be higher on Tuesday for Gingrich, who must sweep both Mississippi and Alabama if he is to change the narrative of the race.
Pollsters Public Policy Polling said, however, it "looks like it's going to be a close election night in both Mississippi and Alabama."
"It's not really clear who, if anyone has the momentum in these states," it said, pointing to "the split in the conservative vote" which could let Romney win.
According to PPP's polling, Gingrich held a slight lead in Mississippi with 33 percent over 31 percent for Romney, with Santorum on 27 percent. In Alabama, the race is even closer with 31 percent for Romney, 30 percent for Gingrich and 29 percent for Santorum.
Romney has now won 17 of the 26 state or territory votes, compared to seven wins for Santorum -- eight if you include a straw poll in Missouri -- and none for Texas congressman Ron Paul.
With 455 delegates, Romney has almost 40 percent of the 1,144 needed to secure the nomination. Santorum trails with 199 delegates and Gingrich has 117, according to authoritative aggregator RealClearPolitics.
This lead means Romney's competitors must win some 70-75 percent of the remaining delegates -- which are handed out proportionally by district in many states -- in order to snatch the nomination.
"Mathematically, this thing is about over, but emotionally it's not," senior Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said Sunday.
"If Romney does well, wins either Mississippi or Alabama and wins Illinois (on March 20), then I think it's virtually impossible for this thing to continue much beyond early May," Graham added.
In a CBS/New York Times Poll released Monday, Republican voters gave Santorum a four-point edge over Romney nationally with 34 percent to 30 percent, with Newt Gingrich getting 13 percent and Ron Paul 8 percent.
But 73 percent say they expect Romney will get the Republican nod.
Gingrich has been touting his energy plan to bring down the cost of gas, saying: "We need an American energy policy that makes us independent of the Middle East so that no American president ever again bows to a Saudi king."
Romney meanwhile has been awkwardly trying to spread some southern charm, starting his rallies with a southern drawl of "hello y'all."
But locals weren't impressed when he called a local delicacy "cheesy grits" instead of "cheese grits."
Santorum meanwhile got an endorsement from reality-television stars, the Duggars Family, star of the television series "19 kids and Counting."
"We ask people who are looking for the conservative, family values candidate to get behind Rick Santorum. Rick has always stood for lower taxes, less government intervention in our lives, and is somebody who will really make a difference as president of the United States," family patriarch Jim Bob Duggar said.

Chinese tennis star Li speaks from the heart
Chinese tennis star Li Na says she's not about to change her persona just because some people think she might be too outspoken.
Li, who became the first Asian player to win a Grand Slam title last year at the French Open, tells it like it is which is a rare quality among pro athletes from China.
"I always believe if you lie one time you have to use 10 times to recover that one lie," Li said Sunday after beating compatriot Zheng Jie 6-1, 6-3 at the Indian Wells tournament. "So I didn't want do that. I know if I say real things many people will hate me, but doesn't matter. I'm happy."
Li, of Wuhan, has played on the national team and in Fed Cup events in the past but says her main focus right now is on competing on the WTA Tour.
When it comes to Li, what you see is what you get. That's a rarity among pro athletes from China who often seem uncomfortable around the international press. She has been doing her own interviews in English without a translator for about five years.
Li's victory in the French Open final over Francesca Schiavone helped boost tennis in China, and made Li a sought-after and well-rewarded product endorser.
But the sport still has a long way to go to catch football, basketball or table tennis in popularity, and she insists she is not interested in being a national icon.
"Many people think, 'Oh, she's maybe next to Yao Ming or something,' Li said.
"I think for me I'm only a tennis athlete. I'm not here for the country. I just play my tennis. I am just doing my job to try the best."
On Sunday, Li snapped a four-match losing streak to Chinese compatriot Zheng with a win in the third round.
The last time Li faced Zheng was six years ago in Estoril where she lost in straight sets. Her losing streak dated back to their first WTA Tour encounter in 2004 in Beijing.
"It is tough to play someone from the same country because we know a lot about each other," Li said. "I was so happy because it is the first time I beat her."

Prince Harry sells Britain on first visit to Brazil
Prince Harry launched a high-profile campaign in Brazil to promote all things British ahead of the 2012 London summer Olympics on his first visit to the South American economic power.
Making his first solo tour, he flew into the "Marvellous City" earlier in the day for a three-day official visit following his tour of Belize, the Bahamas and Jamaica. He was escorted to a hotel in Copacabana.
The prince then had lunch in a local steakhouse before being treated to a 30-minute helicopter tour of the city's major tourist attractions, including Sugarloaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer, the imposing statue of Jesus Christ overlooking the spectacular Rio bay, local television reported.
Prince Harry later strolled along Ipanema beach, then joined festivities including samba dance and capoeira martial art presentations, before kicking off the Britain promotion campaign from the top of Sugarloaf Mountain.
The campaign aimed to highlight what makes Britain great in 2012 as it celebrates 60 years of Queen Elizabeth's reign and hosts the summer Olympics.
Prince Harry was greeted at the event by Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes, Rio State Governor Sergio Cabral as well as by the Samba band Uniao da Ilha, which paraded at this year's Rio Carnival to the theme of London to Rio, the two cities which will respectively host the 2012 and the 2016 Summer Olympics.
The campaign was also conceived to deliver long-term economic benefits from the interest generated by the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Britain is the fourth largest foreign investor in Brazil and the event showcased many of the top British businesses operating in the country, including BP.
Last December, Latin America's dominant power displaced Britain as the world's sixth largest economy.
More than 700 top investors, artists, cultural leaders, entrepreneurs and opinion-makers from across Brazil were invited to the event, which also celebrated the strong ties between Britain and Brazil.
Guests were to enjoy an exclusive menu prepared by top British and Brazilian chefs Marcus Wareing and Roberta Sudbrack, while a cocktail designed specifically for the event by Claridge's hotel was to be served in a bar created by London's renowned Groucho Club.
On Saturday, Prince Harry was to attend a British and Brazilian-themed sports day on Flamengo beach and tour a favela complex pacified by security forces since November 2010, according to city officials.
On Sunday, the prince was to take part in a polo match in Sao Paulo to raise money for Sentabale, his charity in Lesotho, and several local charities.
His tour is one of several being made by British royals in 2012 as part of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
Prince William and his wife Catherine are to travel to the Asia-Pacific region, while Prince Charles and his wife Camilla will visit countries including Australia and Canada.
