Apparently a British remotely controlled submersible freed the Russian sub and it was able to surface. The crew is reported alive, according to Russian sources. Just now on CNN, and it is also at their site.

Good, I'm glad that this turned out well. Did not want to see a repeat of the Kursk.

hoorah!!

Very good news indeed.

good.

now lets move onto to talk about banning russians from having subs so they can't become stranded under water anymore.

Wow, tough week for CNN. First the Toronto airplane crash, now this.

Awesome.

I'm looking forward to continuing coverage of the missing girl in Aruba.

I understand her status has not deteriorated.

Is it wrong that I am hoping for some sort of disaster only so we don't have to hear more about this?

You're not "wrong" for wishing that, but apparently you're not exactly in tune with a lot of viewers either.

NEW YORK — Bringing a microphone and camera crew to the gates of an Aruba landfill this past week, Greta Van Susteren returned to the island that her nightly Fox News Channel program has figuratively called home recently. Van Susteren's "On the Record" has relentlessly followed the mysterious disappearance of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway of Alabama while on a graduation trip to Aruba in May.

Critics find it an obsession bordering on the bizarre, twisting traditional notions of news judgment and becoming Exhibit A in the media's fascination with missing people — as long as they happen to be young, white, female and pretty.

But while doing this, Van Susteren has been rewarded with her biggest audiences since making the switch from CNN three years ago.

She averaged nearly 2.2 million viewers a night in July, up 58 percent from the same period a year ago, according to Nielsen Media Research. CNN's Aaron Brown used to put up a tough fight in the time slot; now Van Susteren routinely triples his audience. She narrowly missed 3 million on July 26, her biggest audience this year.

"On the Record" even topped Fox's prime-time king "The O'Reilly Factor" eight times, although Bill O'Reilly was off on four of those nights.

Well, it's always terrible when a white teen goes missing.

Apparently the white girl missing stories do jump start the ratings. Once again we find the free market at work, giving people the product they want. And obviously they don't want real news.

Wow, tough week for CNN. First the Toronto airplane crash, now this.
Well played, sir!

Oh, I know that. I'm just trying to fight the good fight :)
