| Text of President Bush's final State of the Union address
Seven years have passed since I first stood before you at this rostrum. In that time, our country has been tested in ways none of us could have imagined. We have faced hard decisions about peace and war, rising competition in the world economy and the health and welfare of our citizens. These issues call for vigorous debate, and I think it's fair to say we've answered that call. Yet history will record that amid our differences, we acted with purpose. And together, we showed the world the power and resilience of American self-government. All of us were sent to Washington to carry out the people's business. That is the purpose of this body. It is the meaning of our oath. And it remains our charge to keep. The actions of the 110th Congress will affect the security and prosperity of our nation long after this session has ended.

Federer back in first-place form as he wallops Hartfield
The Federer who looked ragged on Sunday as he hit his first tennis balls inside Rod Laver Arena bore no resemblance to the pitiless tennis machine who inflicted a major beating on poor Diego Hartfield of Argentina last night. It took 74 minutes for the world No. 1 to post a 6-0, 6-3, 6-0 first-round win. Federer served 11 aces, was successful on 7-of-10 break point chances, made 38 winners and just 14 unforced errors (none in the third set) and generally treated his pony-tailed opponent, ranked No. 107, as little more than a inconsequential mosquito, barely deserving of the Aussie salute. .

Movie news: Brad Bird's rat chef flies to Oscar nomination
"We're in Utah," the Corvallis-bred director said Tuesday afternoon, fresh off a plane and heading for the Sundance Film Festival. Though the aircraft had landed, Bird's spirits were still flying high. The filmmaker was absorbing the news that "Ratatouille," his hit movie about a Parisian rat with mad gourmet skills, had cooked up five Oscar nominations: best animated feature, original screenplay, musical score, sound editing and sound mixing. "It's really wonderful to get so many nominations when we came out in what the Academy would consider to be earlier in the year," Bird said. One of the most respected animated filmmakers in the business, Bird won the 2005 best animated feature Oscar when he was honored for "The Incredibles." But don't think for a minute that Bird is low-key about the Oscar love for "Ratatouille." "You don't get too blase about the Oscars," Bird said with a laugh.
