The outcome for this news ticker by querying SharePoint list items using jQuery not come out

Question

I tried this code and paste to the content editor in sharepoint but then nothing came out. Just a blank space. I tried to inspect the marquee is working working but it just not showing the item it suppose to show. Please help.

    <script src="http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/files/jquery-1.3.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript"> 
$(document).ready(function() {   

    var soapEnv ="<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'> \
                <soapenv:Body> \
                     <GetListItems xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/'> \
                        <listName>News</listName> \
                        <viewFields> \
                            <ViewFields> \
                               <FieldRef Name='Title' /> \
                           </ViewFields> \
                        </viewFields> \
                    </GetListItems> \
                </soapenv:Body> \
            </soapenv:Envelope>"; 

        $.ajax({
            url: "/_vti_bin/lists.asmx",
            type: "POST",
            dataType: "xml",
            data: soapEnv,
            complete: Result,
            contentType: "text/xml; charset=\"utf-8\""
        });
    }); 

    function Result(xData, status) {
        $(xData.responseXML).find("z\\:row").each(function() {
            var liHtml = "<li>" + $(this).attr("ows_Title") + "</li>";
            $("# news ").append(liHtml);
        });
    }  
</script>               

<marquee onmouseover="this.stop();" onmouseout="this.start();">
                <ul id="news">  </ul>
</marquee>

<style>
         UL#news {
                     WIDTH: 620px;
                      OVERFLOW: hidden
         }

          UL#news LI {        
                       WIDTH: 600px;    
                       DISPLAY: inline;
                       HEIGHT: 99px;
        }
</style>

I already check the list name and field ref but still it didnt give any outcome. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Seems there is an extra space in jquery selector
$("# news ").append(liHtml);
Update it to:
$("#news").append(liHtml);
