...there are signs that there may be enough solid demand within China's domestic market to keep Xi'an's growth story alive. Carsten Wiegandt, the German acting general manager of the Kempinski Hotel, located on the city's outskirts, has been surprised by the kind of visitors filling his rooms. After the five-star hotel opened in June 2008, management expected tourists arriving from overseas to see the terra-cotta warriors. When the global recession hit, he feared his business might suffer. Instead he found visitors pouring in from other parts of China, many attending conferences being held...
...figure that out, we have a useful analogy close at hand: FarmVille. There are two ways to move ahead in the game. One is to grind, as it's known--plow, plant and harvest. Once you've grown, say, eggplant, you accumulate enough points to move up to a wider choice of crops. You invite friends to be your neighbors.

But if they start to feel unsafe, the whole house of cards will come crashing down. Michelle is already lost. "I told her never to go to FarmVille again," says her mom. "It's a scam."

McCarthy's writing has always been a manly affair, so it made sense that he reduced his world to father and son, with the Man emerging heroic. Here, when the Man speaks of carrying "the fire," i.e., the conviction of humanity, it rings more hollow, even though Mortensen grapples well with the potential corniness of that line (he gives a somber, deeply affecting performance). The wasteland that surrounds them...
Clinton deserves high praise for having publicly said what no U.S. diplomat heretofore has had the sand to say: If Osama bin Laden and his confederates are indeed in Pakistan, the government there is not doing enough to help find them and bring them to justice. And she said it while she was in Pakistan...
