CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, May 7 (UPI) -- Michelle Obama praised the Navy SEALS who killed Osama bin Laden as she delivered the commencement address Saturday at the University of Northern Iowa. The National Association of Theatre Owners today asked the Hollywood studios involved in DirecTV's Premium VOD trial to release sales figures for the movies that have appeared since the service's launch April 21. The films offered to DirecTV customers so far -- at a price of $29.99 and a windows- shortening eight weeks after their theatrical release -- are Sony's _Just Go With It_, Fox's _Cedar Rapids _and Warner Bros' _Hall Pass _(Universal's _The Adjustment Bureau _is set for release this week).

Documents obtained by The Associated Press show that FEMA is seeking payments from more than 5,500 people who were affected by 129 separate disasters since 2005, including floods, tornados, hurricanes and other calamities from Arkansas to American Samoa. FEMA admits the payments were largely its own fault — the result of employees who misunderstood eligibility rules, approved duplicate assistance for costs that were already covered by insurance or other sources, or made accounting errors. [...] after a spring marked by devastating tornadoes and floods, the agency's missteps illustrate the potential risk of accepting federal help. According to Van Fleet, two FEMA representatives who visited him at the trailer in 2008 said he should qualify for ...
