...college-aged kids in a parking lot (they caught the rant on video). During the NBA's opening week, there was Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban on ESPN saying a trade for Kobe is "not going to happen." There were three members of the Chicago Bulls, Ben Wallace, Luol Deng, and Tyrus Thomas, hours before their season opener, tuning into the Kobe news, wondering if they were headed to L.A. No deal has been done yet, and for that - and the continuation of the gripping saga - we can all thank Kobe: the only way any team can nab the high...
...brightly hued canvas of Yue dressed as a merry Roman Catholic Pope sold for $4.28 million in London. That record was shattered last month when Execution, a work depicting maniacally grinning figures in a Tiananmen Square-like setting, netted nearly $6 million in another London sale.

Before the first ever fashion show to be held on the structure, Arnault and his wife, Hélène stopped to snap their own photos of the views and TIME's Marion Hume talked to the world...
...later in Tibet, Hu is said to have displayed a concern for the less privileged that, analysts believe, lies at the root of his policies. He has made it clear he seeks to rein in the to-get-rich-is-glorious mentality that has gripped the nation since Deng Xiaoping launched China's economic reforms in the 1980s--and that is now blamed for a brand of unfettered capitalism that has spawned everything from adulterated medicine to semislavery. Instead, the President and his allies have promoted policies that emphasize social stability and focus on the millions of Chinese left...
