WORTH A CHEER `BRING IT ON' IS A WELCOME BREAK FROM THE USUAL PROM STORY
Pretty new head cheerleader Torrance (Kirsten Dunst) has skimpy outfits but big pompons to fill at San Diego's Rancho Carne High School. Its name translates into \"Meat Ranch,\" which seems metaphorically insulting to the girls, but none of them know Spanish anyway, so never mind. All they know is that their squad's razor- sharp choreography and gymnastic routines have won the national cheer championship five years in a row, and Torry can't wait to snag the sixth. Director Peyton Reed (hitherto a helmsman of MTV videos and documentaries) handles the kids and routines well, with enough tasteful skin to hold pubescent erotic interest but not enough to get Tipper Gore or George W. Bush riled up. Kirsten Dunst (\"Interview With a Vampire,\" \"The Virgin Suicides\") doesn't do much for me. [Eliza Dushku] (\"Buffy the Vampire Slayer\") -- a preferable vamp -- does more.

The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event
Two of the greatest evolutionary events in the history of life on Earth occurred during Early Paleozoic time. The first was the Cambrian explosion of skeletonized marine animals about 540 million years ago. The second was the \"Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event,\" which is the focus of this book. During the 46-million-year Ordovician Period (489–443 m.y.), a bewildering array of adaptive radiations of \"Paleozoic- and Modern-type\" biotas appeared in marine habitats, the first animals (arthropods) walked on land, and the first non-vascular bryophyte-like plants (based on their cryptospore record) colonized terrestrial areas with damp environments. This book represents a compilation by a large team of Ordovician specialists from around the world, who have enthusiastically cooperated to produce this first globally orientated, internationally sponsored IGCP (International Geological Correlation Program) project on Ordovician biotas. The major part is an assembly of genus- and species-level diversity data for the many Ordovician fossil groups. The book also presents an evaluation of how each group diversified through Ordovician time, with assessments of patterns of change and rates of origination and extinction. As such, it will become the standard work and data source for biotic studies on the Ordovician Period.
