A Few Interesting Notes

A couple interesting things from All Things Considered.  First, this about the star of the new The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo movie:
Rooney Mara, 26, stars as the fierce, tiny punk investigator Lisbeth Salander. Mara's a relative unknown, despite the deep football bloodlines on both sides of her family. Her great-grandfathers Art Rooney and Tim Mara founded the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Giants.
Then, Butter Shortage!:
Norwegians are suffering from a butter shortage. The Nordic country has to go without, supposedly because of trade barriers imposed by the country's dairy cooperative Tine. And of course, this comes right as the holiday baking season is heating up. Lynn Neary talks with Lovisa Morling, of the Apent Bakeri in Oslo, about how the bakery is getting by.
Finally, a rancher talks about losing $30,000 with MF Global.
