Begin the countdown to either a Lifetime movie or TLC reality show contract! Look at the poor boy on the left too. He has no twin! 
The sets of twins, from Texas, fell in love, went on a double date to Las Vegas, and won thousands of dollars at poker.Sensing they were on a winning streak, they got engaged on the same day, married at a joint ceremony (officially “quarternary marriages”), and built a pair of homes, side by side.
Soon afterwards, despite a million-to-one odds, Diane and Craig went on to have identical twins of their own - Colby and Brady, now seven.

U.S. officials have delivered a note to the Serbian government, with demands that Kovacevic, who fled to Serbia after posting $100k bail for felony assault charges, be returned to the U.S. within 10 days.
The note comes after warnings from NY senators Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton who told the Serbian Embassy ”that there would be significant consequences for Serbia if this matter was not resolved.”
An excerpt from the note reads:
“It is imperative that the [Serbian government] remedy these outrageous actions committed by its official representative, Igor Milosevic, and ensure the immediate return of Miladin Kovacevic to the United States for further legal proceedings and trial, not later than Aug. 1, 2008.”

An American man, "talking"
Barbara Berkery, a famed British dialect coach, sat down with a BBC reporter to critique his American accent impression. She has worked with big names like Gwenyth Paltrow to prepare for her performance in Shakespeare in Love and with Brad Pitt, for Seven Years in Tibet.
In the video with the article, she demonstrates the nuances of the American accent, including the buried “r”s and more open vowel sounds:
Berkery takes me through some of the major vowel changes from standard English to general American - their short “ah” in bath and sample, the “aw” in cloth and Boston - and the sound that comes out of my mouth is unrecognisable to me.

It is a long way from my own south-east England accent, but not much nearer my trusted American impression. It does sound vaguely American, but like an over-the-top, slightly camp game show host with an occasional lisp - not what I had been aiming for at all.

Newsweek features an in-depth article on the circumstance surrounding the murder of Larry King, the openly-gay 15 year old whose eccentric, outgoing personality brought him attention, both good and bad, from his classmates.
The article presents some new insights into Larry’s relationship with his parents, his friends, and the vice principal who became his informal mentor.
It also addresses the tumult of a changing social atmosphere in which teens and preteens feel more comfortable to express their budding sexuality:
What you might call “the shrinking closet” is arguably a major factor in Larry’s death. Even as homosexuality has become more accepted, the prospect of being openly gay in middle school raises a troubling set of issues. Kids may want to express who they are, but they are playing grown-up without fully knowing what that means.
