1. Under Fire
   Indies Under Fire screens at the Santa Cruz Film Festival - Saturday April 21 at the Riverfront Twin Theater 155 South River St. in Santa Cruz. Producer Jonathan Crosby will be in attendance. For more info, visit here.
2. Kingdom Under Fire
   With Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom, the franchise's next-gen debut, developer Blueside and publisher Microsoft are hoping to transform the series from a modest cult hit to a monster mainstream success by shifting its gameplay focus. The strategy elements from the previous entries have been completely exorcized making way for brand new RPG mechanics and a heavier slant towards non-stop, hack-heavy action. The result may leave the franchise's faithful following longing for some cerebral strategizing, but may offer seasoned dungeon-crawling addicts a new reason to pick up their gamepads.
3. Matt Damon -- Courage Under Fire
   Matt Damon appeared in small roles in a few movies before landing a big part in Geronimo: An American Legend with Gene Hackman and Jason Patric. He next appeared as a heroin-addicted soldier in 1996's Courage Under Fire. The war film was an opportunity for Damon to show his dedication by undergoing an extensive weight loss to help portray his character, which almost proved a dangerous move that put Damon on doctor's orders.
4. Attack Helicopters -- Fires
   Helicopters' slow speed and low altitude make them ideal ground-attack platforms, but that knife cuts both ways. They are ... far easier to hit with ground fire than fixed-wing aircraft, and their relatively fragile construction makes them easier to bring down. The 1993 Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia started when Rangers and Delta Force units were stranded in downtown Mogadishu when a Blackhawk helicopter was brought down by an RPG. Instead of grabbing their warlord targets (which they did, by the way) and getting out of Dodge, they were forced to move to the downed chopper to help recover the crew. Later that day, a second Blackhawk was brought down, again by an RPG.
5. Robert Hooke -- Great Fire
   Description: Famous for the law of elasticity which bears his name, Robert Hooke is one of the most important pioneers of modern science. In addition to Hooke’s law, he ... built the first Gregorian telescope, discovered plant cells by using an early microscope, and stated the law of inverse squares. In this latest title in the Great Minds of Science series, author Mary Gow examines Hooke’s impact of Robert Hooke, whose breadth of interests have influenced nearly every field of science.
6. Fire Trucks -- Vehicles
   COTUIT -At 2:45 p.m. Friday Barnstable Police and Cotuit Fire responded to a two-vehicle crash at Newtown Road and Route 28 in Cotuit. When they arrived they found that a Chrysler sedan had been broadsided by an Isuzu truck. Cotuit rescue called for mutual aid rescue from Centerville, Osterville, Marstons Mills (COMM) fire. Two people were taken to the hospital by ambulances. The scene and traffic were tied up for an hour and a half for investigation and cleanup. (Story and photos by Frank Paparo/CWN).
7. Fire Emblem -- Games
   The sixth game in the Fire Emblem series, and the first on the Game Boy Advance, Fuuin was released in Japan in March 2002. The game follows the story of Roy (whose most famous appearance is in SSBM) as the player tries to drive out the armies of Bern from Roy's home country of Lycia. In his quest, he gains support from Bern King Zephidel's sister, Guinivere, who wishes to stop her country's conflict.
8. Harry Potter Movie -- Goblet Of Fire
   Some new interviews with the cast and crew from "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" have appeared online. The interviews are with producer David Heyman and actors Stanislav Ianevski (Krum), Clémence Poésy (Fleur), Katie Leung (Cho) and Robert Pattinson (Cedric). Each actor describes going to fan sites and reading fans reactions to their characters and David discusses being a member of the team since 1997 and still not being tired of it.
9. Erwin Rommel -- Battles
   Rommel was a popular, although unconventional military leader. Rommel's method of command was ... unique. While other officers directed battles from a strategy room located far from the field of battle, Rommel chose to lead from the front. Rommel felt it was important for the commander to always be near his troops. When the troops had to build a bridge or when a supply convoy was in trouble, Rommel was known to lend a hand.
10. George W. Bush -- Bush Administration
    Bush's foreign policy is influenced by the neo-conservative think tank Project for the New American Century, many of whose members have prominent positions in the Bush administration. Many argue that the administration is far more inspired by the Heritage Foundation, and to a lesser degree the Cato Institute, although these organizations lack representation in the administration.
