When asked about the moles that seem omnipresent in the show’s promotional material, Coman laughs and gestures to the giant papier-mâché mole she is in the middle of creating...
...These statistics are unacceptable to many German women, who applaud Deutsche Telekom's attempts to level the playing field. But the initiative doesn't mean the telecom giant has gone soft and discovered feminism - the company says the move just makes good business sense. Women comprise around 60% of all business graduates from German universities today and the company says it can't afford to miss out on this pool of talent. On top of that, Deutsche Telekom cites recent studies pointing to the profitability of companies that have women managers. "Taking on more women in management positions...
...Jett in the musical biopic The Runaways, which opened in limited release to a so-so $803,000 on 244 screens. (It's really a supporting role to Dakota Fanning's Cherie Currie.) So far, Pattinson is finding it hard to attract fans when he's not in his giant fantasy-film franchise; in Star Wars terms, he's more Mark Hamill than Harrison Ford.

And then, perhaps most important, Mexico for the past decade has been waging an increasingly horrific war against its drug cartels, whose narcoinsurgency has afforded the government little time and energy...
...Internet giant's extraordinary insistence that it would no longer censor the search results on Google.cn - the second leading search engine in the country with the most Internet users in the world - appears to be leading to the demise of its Chinese-language search business. Beijing was never going to negotiate with Google on the issue of censorship - particularly not after the U.S. government hitched its wagon to Google's cause, in the form of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's Jan. 21 speech on Internet freedom. In fact, only in the past few days has anyone from the Chinese...
