'Monster' director Jenkins takes on 'Thor 2' (AP)

LOS ANGELES ? Hollywood has signed up its first female director for a major superhero movie.

Marvel Studios announced Thursday that Patty Jenkins will direct "Thor 2," the sequel to last summer's hit that is due in theaters Nov. 15, 2013.

Jenkins is best-known for writing and directing 2003's "Monster," which earned Charlize Theron the best-actress Academy Award. Her credits also include episodes of "Entourage" and "Arrested Development."

Chris Hemsworth will reprise his title role in "Thor 2" as the Norse god of thunder, with co-stars Natalie Portman and Tom Hiddleston also returning.

The first "Thor," directed by Kenneth Branagh, took in $448 million worldwide.

Another female filmmaker, Lexi Alexander, made the lower-budgeted Marvel movie "The Punisher: War Zone" in 2008. But Jenkins is the first woman to direct a blockbuster superhero franchise.

More than one guest list for South Korean dinner

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The after-dinner playlist is set. The garden herbs have been harvested. The tweeple are on their way.

Thursday's White House visit by South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, the fifth state visit of the Obama administration, features a new category of guests.

The morning arrival ceremony, with its heavy dose of South Lawn pomp and ceremony, always is a sought-after ticket.

The higher-octane state dinner still is the ultimate black-tie invitation in wonky Washington.

But this state visit also will include a "tweetup," an in-person meeting of people who use social media such as Twitter and Facebook, offering participants ? tweeple ? a chance to attend and live tweet the arrival ceremony for the leader of one of the most wired nations on earth.

It's just one more way for President Barack Obama to make a grand show of hospitality for his South Korean guests at the first White House dinner for the country since 1998. The two leaders hit it off during Obama's first trip to Asia in 2009, and have been allies on a number of key issues.

If congressional approval this week of a long-awaited free trade agreement with South Korea is expected to be Lee's big-ticket takeaway from his U.S. visit, the personal chemistry and friendship cemented amid all the accoutrements of a state visit are an intangible but equally important element. Plenty of one-on-one diplomacy will be crammed into the social schedule: Obama treated Lee to a private dinner Wednesday at Korean restaurant in northern Virginia and the two will make a joint field trip to Michigan on Friday to visit an auto plant. Meanwhile, Michelle Obama and South Korean first lady Kim Yoon-ok on Thursday morning will visit Annandale High School in suburban Virginia, home to a large Korean-American population.

State dinner details ? the menu, entertainment, guests ? are generally a closely guarded secret until the last moment. But details are trickling out, in some cases from the White House itself.

When Mrs. Obama invited in school kids last week to help harvest the garden on the South Lawn, she let it be known that some of the vegetables and herbs were destined for the state dinner table Thursday night. No word yet on whether it will be the sweet potatoes or the squash, the peppers or the basil.

The after-dinner entertainment will include a group tailor-made for the event ? the Ahn Trio, three sisters who were born in Seoul but raised in the United States.

Angella, Lucia and Maria Ahn, who tweeted about their upcoming White House gig, play violin, piano and cello in a musical style that they describe as classical-alternative-experimental.

Angella, on the faculty at Montana State University, told the university they'll play "Skylife" by California-born David Balakrishnan and two pieces by Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla. Balakrishnan has described "Skylife" as a "slow burning, heavy-metal grinding kind of number. If this were the '60s, the comparison would be to Led Zeppelin."

A few names from the various guest lists were trickling out, too.

San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro is a state dinner natural: He's cutting short a trade mission to South Korea to attend the dinner with his wife, Erica.

ABC's Juju Chang, who also got the coveted nod for a seat at the dinner, modeled 10 possible gowns on ABC's blog and asked readers to vote on what she should wear.

Adam Frankel, a student at George Washington University, snagged a ticket to the tweetup after seeing a post about the event on the White House Facebook page. He confessed he doesn't have any special interest in South Korea, but says he's interested in technology ? "and I'd very much like the opportunity to meet the president."

Other tweeples were atwitter on Twitter this week about what to expect at the White House, what to wear and what the weather will be like. They were getting a chance to prep their thumbs at a tweetup happy hour on Wednesday night.

At mid-week, David Lee, president of the Korean American Public Affairs Committee, still had his fingers crossed: He'd been invited to the morning arrival ceremony on the South Lawn but still was holding out hope for a dinner invite.

"I tried, but I didn't get an invitation ? yet," he said.

For those who don't make any other invitation lists, there's one that's open to anyone: A group protesting the construction of a naval base on a South Korean island is asking people to protest in front of the White House during the dinner.

Rev. Dr. Mark Achtemeier: Coming Out as an Evangelical Supporter of Gay Rights

This Saturday I was privileged to speak at the ordination of a man I believe will be a wonderful minister. That man, Scott Anderson, happens to be the first openly gay person ordained in my denomination, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), since a historic policy shift last July.

Scott's congregation in Madison was bursting with celebration during the service. However, not everyone in our denomination felt joyful.

I understand this distress because, as a lifelong conservative Christian, for most of my life I would have felt the same way.

When I was ordained in 1984 I believed that, with pastoral compassion, gay and lesbian people could become "normal" through repentance and prayer.

Encouraged by colleagues and friends, I spoke and wrote on this topic. I even helped change our church constitution to prevent gay and lesbian persons from becoming ministers -- the very policy that was recently eliminated by a denominational vote.

But in the last decade, I began to discover that God had other plans. Out of the blue, opportunities opened for serious conversation with gay and lesbian Christians.

I'll never forget a conversation I had in 2001 with a gay man who was in a committed, long-term partnership. I had been arguing that his relationship was sinful when he said, "My relationship is the part of my life that demands the greatest sacrifice and stretches me the most in my ability to love. I believe in confessing and repenting my sins. I work at it regularly. But far from feeling sinful, this area of my life that brings out the very best in me."

I felt shaken, thinking this was exactly how I would describe my own marriage to my wife.

A few years later, I met another gay Christian man who was a leader in an international evangelical conservative fellowship. Uncomfortable with his same-gender attractions, he went through every therapy program available and prayed fervently for a cure. None of it worked. When I spoke with him, I remember him saying, "I feel that God doesn't care about me."

If I know one thing, it's that Christian faith, properly understood, doesn't destroy people. Yet, this man was just one of many I met who followed this course to despair. How had the accepted pastoral response so utterly failed these deeply faithful Christians?

The only answer was to return to the Bible. To my surprise and chagrin, themes began to emerge I hadn't noticed before.

When God creates the world and declares it "very good," God also says, "it is not good that the human being should be alone." Genesis describes God's creation of human beings for intimate fellowship with another person. This is not something we can reverse or undo. It is deeply inscribed in our nature.

I learned that the original languages of the Bible didn't even have words for gay or lesbian. Whatever the Bible was speaking against, it wasn't the long-term, faithful, egalitarian partnerships we know today.

I believe now that this was the beginning of a journey God had planned for me all along.

Today, I call on my fellow Christians to join me in celebrating that a gifted servant enters ministry. That Scott Anderson is a gay man in a committed relationship -- and that he has waited decades for this moment -- only enhances his gifts, which include patience and Christ-like compassion.

And it is because of the authoritative Word of the Bible, not in spite of it, that we can rejoice in the good fruit Scott's ministry will bring forth.

To those who still fear this moment, I only ask that you open your heart and your Bible. God will take care of the rest.

The Rev. Dr. Mark Achtemeier is a Minister of the Word and Sacrament residing in Dubuque, Iowa.

Trichet sees systemic threat, wants Europe banks funded (Reuters)

FRANKFURT (Reuters) ? The euro zone sovereign debt crisis has become systemic and risks to the economy are increasing rapidly with Europe's banks in the danger zone, European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) Chairman Jean-Claude Trichet said on Tuesday.

Trichet, who heads the European Central Bank as well as the continent's super-watchdog on financial stability, said the euro zone's EFSF bailout fund should be made as flexible as possible, but without involving the ECB in leveraging it.

"Over the past three weeks, the situation has continued to be very demanding. The crisis is systemic and must be tackled decisively," Trichet told the European Parliament's Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs.

"The high interconnectedness in the EU financial system has led to a rapidly rising risk of significant contagion. It threatens financial stability in the EU as a whole and adversely impacts the real economy in Europe and beyond."

Trichet called for governments and European authorities to act together to solve the crisis, adding that delay would be disastrous.

"It is a matter of urgency that all authorities act in unison, with total commitment to safeguarding financial stability," he said.

The ESRB is designed to take a bird's eye view of Europe's financial system and flag up any emerging problems for relevant authorities to act on.

It has no formal teeth, although if it is not satisfied with authorities' reactions, it has the option of going public with its fears.

RECAPITALISING BANKS

Trichet called for a clear decision on recapitalizing banks, saying there was no time to lose.

Commercial banks have become increasingly wary of lending to each other, more often turning to the ECB for funding and deposits.

Overnight deposits at the 17-country bloc's central bank shot up to 269 billion euros on Tuesday, the highest since June 2010, indicating eroding trust between banks.

The leaders of Germany and France gave investors hope on Sunday night by promising a plan soon to recapitalize Europe's banks.

However, investors remain cautious due to the lack of detail about the plan, and the risk that a solution may be derailed by an event such as political deadlock in Slovakia, the one euro country that has yet to approve the EFSF expansion.

"The banking sector in Europe needs recapitalization, that is part of our message," Trichet said.

"Decisions have to be taken and taken very rapidly, I expect this decision to be taken as rapidly as possible."

Turning to the role of the European bailout fund, the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), he said it could play an important role.

"Supervisors must coordinate efforts to strengthen bank capital, including having recourse to backstop facilities, and also taking into account the need for a transparent and consistent valuation of sovereign exposures," he said.

"The possibility for the EFSF to lend to governments in order to recapitalize banks -- including, if necessary, in non-program countries -- could be of benefit here," he said.

But while calling for the fund to be "as flexible as possible", he rejected using the ECB to leverage it, adding that governments had all the means necessary to leverage it without involving the central bank.

Iran lawmaker resigns over Ahmadinejad challenge (AP)

TEHRAN, Iran ? An Iranian lawmaker has resigned to protest the parliament's failure to summon President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for questioning over a long list of accusations, including corruption.

Ali Motahari says the parliament's presiding council has refused to put the petition to question Ahmadinejad on its agenda.

Motahari says he is resigning because he can no longer protect the rights of the people who elected him to parliament.

The petition reflects an ongoing power struggle between the Iranian president and hard-line lawmakers that once supported him.

The petitioners want Ahmadinejad to respond to a long list of accusations, including that he made statements harmful to parliament's reputation and withdrew money from the central bank without proper authorization.
