Back in Baja Norte, the bad news isn't stopping golf superstar Tiger Woods, from building a new luxury oceanfront golf course on the rocky Pacific coastline south of Ensenada, 70 miles below San Diego. Called Punta Brava, the development includes 125 homes, with prices starting at $3 million for a one-acre lot and $3.5 million for a condo. Opening is slated for 2011. The developer is the Flagship Group, whose principals include Red McCombs, co-founder of Clear Channel Communications...
...holidays. But unlike earlier generations of French pensioners, Vassort's retirement idyll isn't tucked away along the villa-studded expanses of the Côte d'Azur, or in one of the popular resort towns of Spain's Costa Brava. Instead, Vassort is one of a growing number of European pensioners jumping the Mediterranean to Morocco - and getting much more bang for their euro.

...nomadic schedule of a flourishing choreographer leaves Wheeldon little time in his apartment a block from Manhattan's Lincoln Center ("dangerously close to work") or in the house he recently bought overlooking the sea on Spain's Costa Brava.

His restaurant, El Bulli, which is located up a winding road near the town of Rosas on Catalonia's Costa Brava, gets 1 million reservation requests a year, only about 8,000 of which he can honor. Adria puts no truck in old standbys. His constantly shifting degustation menu always aims to trump itself. A meal lasts for hours, alternating between sweet and savory, hot and cold, familiar and otherworldly: fried rabbit ears...
...scale between Eager Surgery Candidate and Making Do with What God and My Miracle Bra Gave Me. So last spring when a Florida plastic surgeon introduced a device to nonsurgically increase breast tissue using suction, not a few A- and B-cup bosoms heaved with hope. Makers of the Brava bra, which consists of two plastic shells linked by tubes to a suction device, promised an increase of up to one cup size after 10 hours a day of wear over 10 weeks. At about $2,500, and available only through doctors, Brava seemed like a device of interest...
