...body, nanba requires practitioners to run with the hand and foot on one side of the body moving in sync. (In normal locomotion, people swing the right arm forward with the left leg.) Out on the track, Suetsugu's stealthy ninja stride makes the traditional runners look like a bunch of Forrest Gumps with ramrod-straight backs, high-kicking knees and arms churning like something out of a cartoon. The technique obviously works: in addition to his 200-m bronze last year, Suetsugu took a surprise silver in the 100-m at a Grand Prix meet in Zagreb in June...
...both five-digit extremities and both feel best wrapped in leather, so what difference does it make?" has been rejected by consumer advocates as a cynical manipulation of the facts. Fair Play for Footwear, the consumer group, points out that shoes made out of gloves fit badly and bunch up around the toes.

Best of the bunch, though, is celeb chef Bobby Flay's Boy Gets Grill. The book showcases international flavors with dishes like a sweet-and-sour brick-grilled baby squid that features a tamarind-mint dressing with Middle Eastern and Indian spices.

Instead, Multitude insists that the new democracy can and must come not from the top down but from below, from the entirety of the multitude working and acting together...
Bullets vs. Ballots AFGHANISTAN The last bunch arrives late in the afternoon, a group of women who have come to Kabul's Eid Mosque to register to vote in Afghanistan's first presidential election, on Oct. 9. One by one they lift their burqas to be photographed, revealing faces young and old. The turnout is encouraging - 90% of an estimated 10 million eligible voters have so far registered. And the very fact that elections can take place in this war-ravaged country is a good sign. But a growing split between the country's restive warlords and the administration...
