...explain why the regime is now showing more willingness to negotiate than it has in months. A Western diplomat and Iran expert believes that Khamenei "definitely" had a hand in Ahmadinejad's letter to U.S. President George W. Bush last month, the first effort at a direct high-level contact between the two countries since 1979. After the U.N. Security Council permanent five plus Germany and the E.U. presented Tehran with a package of incentives aimed at persuading Iran to stop enriching uranium, Khamenei authorized the President to call the proposal a "positive step." Ahmadinejad said last week that Iran...
...Cinta Larga, or Wide Belts. Sophisticated hunters and fierce warriors, they shadowed Roosevelt and his men yet never allowed themselves to be seen. They attacked Colonel Rondon when he was hunting alone and killed his dog. Rondon, who had spent nearly half his life exploring the Amazon and making contact with its most isolated tribes, responded to the attack by leaving the Indians gifts, signs of friendship and respect.

I let the song play and jumped back to check my e-mail, and at that moment as I stared at all my points of contact, with my tunes acting as a soundtrack, the Sidekick 3 vibe...
...doubt, Wade's slashing style benefited from NBA rules changes that require referees to call the game much closer - even slight contact might get you to the foul line. In Game 5, Wade shot 25 foul shots - as much as the entire Dallas team. In Game 6, he shot 21 more. For years, Dallas will be smarting over a foul call against Nowitzki in the waning seconds of game 5 - he barely touched Wade, but the refs awarded Wade the winning free throws. So yes, Wade's stats might be a bit inflated - but getting questionable foul calls was also...
