After yesterday's speech to bankers in New York City yesterday, we take a close look at financial reform's major players and how they're reacting; and, we check in on this morning's headlines.

President Barack Obama delivered a forceful plea for cooperation from Wall Street banks in a speech at New York City’s Cooper Union yesterday. Some of the president's language to bankers was stern — during one part of the talk, he pointed in the direction of Goldman Sach's CEO and said, "Unless your business model depends on bilking people, there is little to fear from these new rules."

At about 40 locations around downtown Denver, you can pick up a bike, ride it somewhere else and drop it off. The "Bcycle" program began yesterday, on Earth Day. Bike sharing is a mode of community transportation that's been tried in several European cities, and will be popping up in U.S. cities this summer; Denver is the first big American trial. Nathan Heffel, producer for jazz89 KUVO, checked in on the first day of Mile-High residents trying it out.

Yesterday we reported how education cuts across the nation are taking effect and asked whether Earth Day, 40 years old, has been a success. We also looked at the fifth birthday of YouTube and got some of your favorite videos.

Yesterday, we talked about Google's emerging foreign policy, as it deals with take-down requests from governments around the world. Today, we speak to the executive who is in effect the company's "Secretary of State."

Despite the giant strides made in recent years to provide effective drug treatments to combat HIV and AIDS, there's still a long way to go. Particularly in Africa, where the virus has hit hardest and thousands continue to die every year. One of the biggest problems in tackling the epidemic is the reluctance of those carrying the virus to come forward for testing. But an extraordinary group of women in Zimbabwe has found a new way to beat the stigma of HIV by forming a womens soccer league where all the players are HIV positive.

For this week's movie segment, we’re celebrating the Tribeca Film Festival, which kicked off Wednesday night with "Shrek Forever After."

Our partner the New York Times has an exclusive today that has workers pointing the finger at Massey Energy for negligence that lead to the explosion earlier this month; that and this morning's top headlines.

It's still not known what caused the fatal explosion at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch Mine, a powerful blast that killed 29 miners in the worst mining disaster in a generation. But, in today's New York Times, a foreman from the Upper Big Branch Mine, speaking on condition of anonymity, revealed a pattern of lax safety practices that pointed to disaster.

This weekend's big movies include J-Lo's artificial insemination romantic comedy "The Backup Plan," and the action adventure flick "The Losers." Takeaway movie contributor and Newsday film critic Rafer Guzman walks us through the new releases. 

Get your weekly fix of wit on the week's news as we run through who had a good week and who didn't. In partnership with our friends at The Week magazine, we look back to see why it was a good week for anti-incumbent fever in Tracy City, Tenn., but a bad week for a 20-year-old British woman who acquired quite a taste for alcohol.

President Obama was on Wall Street yesterday pushing for stronger oversight of the financial industry, which he set forth as the best way to prevent another massive financial collapse.

"The only people who ought to fear the kind of oversight and transparency that we're proposing are those whose conduct will fail this scrutiny," Obama said during a speech at Cooper Union.

It looks like the Gulf of Mexico has averted a major ecological disaster after an oil rig exploded off the coast of Louisiana on Tuesday night. A large fire caused the rig to capsize and sink yesterday and officials worried that crude oil could seep into the water. Eleven crew members are still missing and the time frame for their survival is now believed to have passed. But news this morning suggests that at least part of the disaster may have been averted.

25 years ago, Coke switched its famous secret recipe to "New Coke." The change caused Coke fans everywhere to break out in hysteria until the soft-drink company brought back Classic-Coke a few months later. We look at how Coke has managed to keep its fans so devoted to its secret recipe over the years. We also take a look at why America’s great secret recipes remain compelling from one generation to the next.
