Ablene Cooper leaves a Hinds County courtroom in Jackson, Miss., Tuesday, Aug. 16, 2011, after a circuit judge dismissed her lawsuit against Kathryn Stockett, author of the best-selling novel "The Help." "The Help" was made into a movie that opened last week. It's based on relationships between white families and the African-American women who worked for them in the 1960s. The lawsuit was filed by Cooper, who works for Stockett's brother. She claims a main character, Aibileen, is based on her. Cooper accuses Stockett of using her name and likeness without permission.

Ron Heitz, 59, of Waukesha, Wis., attends the state Democratic Party’s annual convention in Milwaukee on Friday, June 3, 2011, where he signs a pledge to support an eventual recall of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. Lynn Freeman, 43, of Madison, explains to him how the process will work. Democrats want to recall six Republican state senators this summer, and they hope to also recall Walker next year because of his efforts to strip most public employees of collective-bargaining rights. About 1,000 Democrats gathered in Milwaukee on Friday for a convention billed as a prelude to recalling Republican Gov. Scott Walker and six GOP state senators.
