The fee and tax increases are the major

The General Assembly will consider
the proposals during the session that

The Democratic governor faces a major

Our belief is that if we offer movies
at affordable prices and those are

available wherever the Chinese consumer
normally shops day to day, then

ultimately, they�ll choose legitimate

product.

(CELIA HATTON STAND-UP)

To understand why some US studios would
slash DVD prices in China, you

have to understand the sophistication
of their illegal competition� We

bought this pirated copy of the new
James Bond movie on a Beijing street

corner for a dollar fifty -- this is a
film that hasn�t even been

released in Chinese theatres.

(NAT SOUND �CHINESE ANNOUNCER,

THIS is how the Chinese police used to
battle piracy� But that was

mostly for show .

SOT: Michael Ellis/Motion Picture

Association

The piracy rate is around 93%, by which
we mean that the pirates have

about 93% of the marketplace.�

Legal DVDs are on the shelves at this
Sam�s Club in Beijing, but for

some, $2 might NOT be cheap enough.
So Hollywood�s challenge?

Convince Chinese shoppers it�s worth it
to hold out for the REAL thing�

Now animal control officials also
brought charges against Nancy Felter
for failing to provide adequate shelter
for seven animals.

That and the "failure to bury"
charges carry only a fine.

But one additional charge could
land Felter in jail for a year.

That involves the case of the
Schnauzer with a broken leg.

Felter is charged with "ill

emergency veterinary care, one of 19

GRAPHIC=NFL Nick Saban has denied for weeks

that he had an interest in the vacant
Alabama coaching job, saying he was
comfortable as the Miami Dolphins'
skipper.

But over the last few days,
Saban changed his mind.

2002 The reason is apparently two-fold
:00 - and concerns money and winning.

Saban won a national championship
at LSU, but was just 15-and-17 with the
Dolphins.

This just completed season was
his first losing season in 13 years as
a head coach at any level.

As for the money - he was making
$4 and a half million a season and
living on the beach.

In Tuscaloosa, he won't get a
beach, but he will make a lot of cash -
$32 million over 8 years - and it's all
guaranteed.

He's expected to be formally introduced
today.

Elephants at the Berlin Zoo were
fed leftover Christmas trees that
traders were not able to sell.

Zookeepers say the animals usually
eat leaves during the winter, so the
trees were a nice change of pace.

But not everyone can bring their old
Christmas trees to the zoo.

It only accepts trees only from
traders to make sure they're not
contaminated with chemicals.
