...there been an NBA team that shooting guard Quentin Richardson hasn't been traded to this summer? On June 25, the New York Knicks dealt Richardson, who averaged 10 points per game last season, to the Memphis Grizzlies for center Darko Milicic. About three weeks later, Memphis shipped the nine-year veteran to the Los Angeles Clippers for high-scoring forward - and perennial troublemaker - Zach Randolph. Three days after that, the Clips moved Richardson to the Minnesota Timberwolves for three nondescript bench warmers.

...election day got underway in the north, the streets were calm in Mazar-i-Sharif, a largely ethnic Tajik city. At a girls school that had been turned into a voting station, Assadullah, 52, casually checked incoming voters on polling day Thursday. The Tajik security guard himself was a partisan of Abdullah Abdullah. In a way, he was following orders.

Rambo, an 11-month-old Labrador, helped save a drowning 47-year-old bather near the east-coast city of Foggia, while Massi, a Newfoundland, and Labrador Romeo were patrolling the super-chic Amalfi coast aboard a motorized, rubber coast-guard raft when they helped two would-be victims. Other four-legged studs have offered staged demonstrations of water safety for vacationers near Venice...
...hundreds of supplicants have arrived at his sprawling residence, known as "the castle," seeking an audience with the general. The fact that the courtyard's swimming pools were empty despite the 100-plus degree heat were testament to the suddenness of the warlord's reappearance. As his militiamen kept guard, townspeople expressed their enthusiasm for Dostum's return. "Our homes are safe because of the general," says Sharif Qaridyar, the manager of a busy ice cream parlor. "People in the south who say bad things against him should look at where they live." A laminated poster of the general...
