...veteran Suebsak Phunsueb-considered sepak takraw's top player for the past several years-might be able to supplement that with advertisements and media work, but he's still no Beckham. At the humbler end of the scale, semipros like Susumu Teramoto, a 31-year-old from Japan, will accept salaries of approximately $200 a month, plus food and lodging, for the privilege of competing against the best in the business...
...Belarus'. Medvedev's remark hit home for his fellow hockey buff and adversary--the forward who had tripped him up so uncouthly, also known as the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko. On a tense New Year's Eve night a week earlier, Medvedev forced Lukashenko to accept a price hike that more than doubled the cost of natural gas, from $46 to $100 per 1,000 cu m.

That prospect may be too much to bear. "If he ran, there's no question in my mind that he would be elected," says Steve Jobs. "But I think there's a question in his mind, perhaps because the pain of the last election runs a lot deeper than he lets most...
...power when Hamas decided to contest the January 2006 elections and won a dramatic victory - one which neither Washington, alarmed by Hamas's hostility to Israel's very existence, nor many of the Fatah activists whose power of patronage required holding onto the machinery of government, were prepared to accept. After tension between the two sides erupted in violence earlier this year, Saudi Arabia brokered a power-sharing agreement that created a unity government. But as of last weekend, the unity government appears to be on the verge of collapse amid fierce new fighting between gunmen of the two parties...
