...downfall of the SUV has been predicted for years. You say it's coming at $6 per gallon. Can't someone develop a safe, light, super-green SUV? It's certainly possible.

Hambantota is my area, and it had been neglected for so many years. It's my duty, my obligation to develop that area. We must develop not only Colombo, but other districts...
...Singaporean Bryan Huang, 24, is one such rising star and a favorite in this week's tournament. Last year, he moved to Macau to develop his career as a professional poker player. He spends his days betting on as many as 12 simultaneous tables online, and then plays into the night in cash games at the Grand Lisboa. "Once people understand that poker's a game of skill, they'll grow into it and definitely prefer it over baccarat," says Huang, referring to the fact that baccarat players bet against the house while poker players bet against each other.
