...Show host and his alleged would-be extortionist, CBS News producer Robert "Joe" Halderman. Widespread reports say Birkitt had a romantic relationship with Letterman before his marriage while she was working as his personal assistant and appearing regularly on his program, interviewing celebrities and reporting from the Winter Olympics, among other duties.

Most notable was the surprisingly high prevalence rate: one in 91 children ages 3 to 17 (1.1%) were described by parents as having an ASD diagnosis. Among boys, who are four times as likely to have autism as girls, the rate was 1 in 58.

"We're an amphibian," says Emi Eu, the STPI's director. "We're a gallery and a learning institution at the same time." (Read "Painter Laureate...
...family with connections to the country's royalty, is Thaksin, who is everything the current PM is not: a brash, populist, new-money billionaire who was sentenced in absentia to two years in jail on a conflict-of-interest conviction. Both camps have amassed vocal - and occasionally violent - supporters among a general populace that is ever more politically disillusioned. Results of a recently released nationwide poll by the nonprofit Asia Foundation found that less than one-third of Thais feel the country is moving in the right direction. In fact, the U.S. is so worried about the state...
