...surprising start, there's very little buzz at the Hornets' hive. The team is averaging a dismal 12,645 fans per game, the second worst attendance figure in the NBA (only the Indiana Pacers have drawn fewer fans). A cable dispute between Cox Communications, which has exclusive rights to broadcast Hornets games, and Charter Communications, the cable provider for about 225,000 residents in suburban St. Tammany Parish, left many affluent fans unable to watch their team.

Officials brag that crime rates are falling faster in Barking than in all of London, but many residents remain afraid to venture out at night...
...look slightly out of place in this smart Guangzhou hotel with its marble-lined lobby. And despite the generosity of his employer, he confesses, he'd rather be elsewhere - eating a traditional reunion feast with his family in Shanghe county, then maybe watching the New Year's Eve gala broadcast on China Central Television.
