...World, in port 250 days a year, is really a town: population 650, half passengers, half crew. The town will have the condos plus 88 hotel-style suites (with built-in, bathtub-side ice buckets and glasses), a casino, nightclub, jeweler, state-of-the-art sewage treatment and its own laws (like no hanging laundry from the balcony). Residents can shop for food at a gourmet deli or dine in any of four restaurants--or have a chef prepare a private gourmet dinner at home...

And, believe it or not, those Blahniks may actually have a kind of built-in safety feature: They're so darn precarious that most women can't wear them for extended periods.

...BALL Weekend b-ballers, beware: Spalding is removing "underinflated ball" from your arsenal of sorry excuses for missed free throws. Its engineers have concocted Infusion ($45), a basketball with a built-in pump. Thanks to clever designing, it meets NBA standards for balance and rebounding. Spalding is talking with the pro league in hopes that Infusion will become the NBA's ball of choice. Shaquille, are you listening...
