SEAL officers thought the film would open in a couple of theaters in military towns, then quietly move to cable television, where re-runs would draw likeminded youths to join the special operations world.

Then came the Navy SEALs raid that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan last year, and a high-profile hostage rescue in Somalia last month. President Barack Obama delivered his State of the Union address and gave a shout out to SEALs, with Adm. Bill McRaven, the SEAL and bin Laden raid commander, sitting quietly in Obama's box.
WASHINGTON — Navy SEALs never expected the film "Act of Valor," starring real, active-duty Navy SEALs, to be this big.
Navy SEALs movie turns mainstream

HOLLYWOOD
Five years ago, commanders allowed a small, independent film company into their elite ranks to turn real-life training exercises into a feature-length movie in hopes of drumming up recruits fast.
Now, the once modest recruiting project is set to open Feb. 24 in roughly 2,500 theaters nationwide, putting an uncomfortable spotlight on a group that prides itself on keeping its collective mouth shut about clandestine operations.
The officers and staff who helped bring the film about spoke on condition of anonymity because they are embarrassed by the massive media blitz and public interest, and — most of all — they are tired of getting grief from their special operations colleagues, whose daring exploits haven't made it into the headlines.
Special operations commander McRaven said he didn't think the film gave anything away to the enemy, nor would it put in danger the SEALs who starred in it.

'Magic' Johnson plans to revive 'Soul Train'
WASHINGTON — Before the death of Don Cornelius, a group of black entrepreneurs had begun reviving "Soul Train" and carrying it beyond line dances at parties and television reruns.

NBA legend and entrepreneur Earvin "Magic" Johnson created Soul Train Holdings, LLC when he bought the "Soul Train" library and brand last year. He says "Soul Train" will last a lifetime.
Parades, costumes create atmosphere for Fat Tuesday

NEW ORLEANS — Bathed in spring like warmth and showered with trinkets, beads and music, New Orleans revealed in the excesses of Fat Tuesday.
A seemingly endless stream of costumed marching groups and ornately-decorated float parades led by make-believe royalty poured out of the Garden District, while the French Quarter filled up with thrill seekers expecting to see debauchery.
And they did.
Some in the Quarter had a sleepless night after Monday's Lundi Gras prequel party. The drinking was in full swing again shortly after dawn, and with it came outrageous costumes and flesh-flashing that would continue until police make their annual attempt to break up the merry-making at midnight, when Lent begins.
Pete Fountain makes a toast to start the day-long celebration of Mardi Gras while leading his Pete Fountain's Half Fast Walking Club on its trek through the streets of New Orleans on Feb. 21. This is the last day of the Mardi Gras celebration ending at midnight, after a day-long celebration of parades, marching groups and people in costumes.
Tom White, 46, clad in a pink tutu, bicycled with his wife, Allison, to the French Quarter. "I'm the pink fairy this year," he said. "Costuming is the real fun of Mardi Gras. I'm not too creative but when you weigh 200 pounds and put on a tutu people still take your picture."

His wife was not in costume. "He's disgraced the family enough." she said.
"They're torturing me," the Denver woman joked. "But I'll be OK after a bloody mary."
Brittany Davies struggled with her friends through the morning, feeling the effects of heavy drinking from the night before.
The predominantly African- American Zulu krewe was the first major parade to hit the streets, shortly after 8 a.m. Most krewe members were in
Indeed, the theme of the day was party hard and often.
In New Orleans, the streets filled with hundreds of thousands of people.
Wearing a bright orange wig, a purple mask and green shoes. New Orleans resident Charlotte Hamrick walked along Canal Street to meet friends.
"I'll be in the French Quarter all day," Hamrick said. "I don't even go to the parades. I love to take pictures of all the costumes and just be with my friends. It's so fun."
Across the globe, people dressed up in elaborate costumes and partied the day away. In Rio de Janeiro, an estimated 850,000 tourists joined the city's massive five-day blowout. Meanwhile, the Portuguese, who have suffered deeply in Europe's debt crisis, defied a government appeal to keep working.
Police reported no major incidents along the parade route.
thetraditional black-face makeup and the Afro wigs Zulu riders have sported for decades. They handed out the organization's coveted decorated coconuts and other sought-after trinkets.
In the oak-lined Garden District, clarinetist Pete Fountain led his Half-Fast Walking Club on its annual march to the French Quarter.
Fountain, 82, gave a thumbs-up to start off and his band launched into "When The Saints Go Marching In" as they rounded the corner onto St. Charles Avenue shortly after 7 a.m. It was the 52nd time that Fountain's group has paraded for Mardi Gras. This year, the group wore bright yellow suits and matching pink pie hats for its theme, "Follow the Yellow Brick Road."
Costumes were the order of the day, ranging from the predictable to the bizarre.
Wearing a purple wig, New Orleans resident Jil Shipley carried
a gallon of booze down Bourbon Street and filled her friends' cups when they got low. "We're going to wander all day and people-watch," Shipley said. "That's the best part of Mardi Gras — the costumes. They're amazing."
Partygoers were dressed as Wizard of Oz characters Dorothy and the Wicked Witch, bags of popcorn, pirates, super heroes, clowns, jesters, princesses and lots of homemade costumes with the traditional Mardi Gras colors of purple, green and gold.
At New Orleans' antebellum former city hall, Mayor Mitch Landrieu toasted Zulu's monarchs and special guests. Among them was New Orleans native and former U.S. Ambassador Andrew Young who was on a float with National Urban League President Marc Morial, a former mayor of New Orleans, his wife, Michelle, and their two children.
