Game over? Not quite: Scrabulous' founding brothers, Jayant and Rajat Agarwalla, just launched Wordscraper, a build-your-own game that, coincidentally, uses a grid the same size as Scrabble's. If a Facebook player happens to make a board that's identical to Scrabble's--a feat that takes less than two minutes--well, it's a free world. Hasbro officials did not comment on the new application...
Muslim hardliners complained vehemently against what they alleged was an attempt to create "Israel-like" settlements of Hindus to change the demography of the Muslim-majority Kashmir Valley. (It would be a daunting feat for even the most fanatical of such alleged settlers - the area is uninhabitable for much ofthe year.) But once the fears spread, protests in Kashmir grew. The government eventually backed down and revoked the shelter order on July 1. That, in turn, led to a backlash from Hindus in the Hindu-majority Jammu region of the state, with right-wing parties including the BJP jumping...
...coincidentally, looks like a big, blank Scrabble board), he can create his own word game by adding special "double word" and "triple letter" tiles in any configuration he chooses.

This summer brings the most eco-friendly X Games ever--no small feat for a twice-a-year event that draws 140,000 spectators and uses nearly 1,400 pieces of plywood to make its signature vertical ramp. The action-sports competition, which runs through Aug. 3 and includes in-line skating and bungee jumping, features new powering stations where attendees ride bikes to charge their mobile phones and other electronics. The organizers are also offering attendees prizes, like rad belt buckles made from old skateboards, if they recycle. Excess construction materials will be donated to Habitat for Humanity...
...want to discount the daring of Petit's feat (or feet). He was working a hell of a way up from the ground, with the winds whistling and the towers themselves swaying as he traversed the space between them. But no matter how high in the sky a wire is, the person walking it is not an artist. He or she is just a daredevil, trying to grab the gawkers' attention. Since you could probably get yourself killed falling from a wire 30 feet off the ground, additional height enhances the spectacle, but aside from the wind gusts, the risk...
