...need your wits about you for Black Friday. The traditional day-after-Thanksgiving shopping bonanza has become a full-contact sport, with crazed shoppers determined to find the best deals, sometimes with tragic results. In last year's frenzy, a worker at a New York Walmart was trampled to death when the store opened its doors; two shoppers were shot in a dispute at a Toys "R" Us in California. The ensuing safety concerns may have prompted some shoppers to think twice, but retailers still expect a bonanza: the weekend after Thanksgiving is expected to account for some $40 billion...

And a paper published earlier this month in Science reported the successful treatment of two children with ALD, or adrenoleukodystrophy - a neurological disorder that leads to progressive brain damage and death in two to five years...
Piero Marrazzo was forced to step down as governor of Rome's region, Lazio, on Oct. 27 after an alleged blackmail scheme set off the spiral of embarrassing revelations about his private life.

He made only a brief appearance on Wednesday morning and asked to return to his cell, complaining that he was unwell. About three months into the trial, on July 20, Qasab stunned the court by changing his plea...
Despite Kazmi's efforts, few in India expect anything other than a guilty verdict for Qasab. The widows of two top anti-terror officials who were killed in the attacks met with Congress Party President Sonia Gandhi on Nov. 23 and demanded the death penalty for Qasab, although the verdict is months away. Mumbaikars' interest in the trial has waned, although it spikes with the occasional dramatic moment, as when the testimony of the photographer who captured Qasab on film brought the defendant to tears...
