...puts it, that the insurgency may be starting to subside, few think the war is close to being won. The Pentagon's measures of the insurgency's strength--there are more than 50 metrics--show that the battle is basically where it was a year ago. For every hint of good news in Iraq, there's still cause for concern. The number of attacks against U.S. and Iraqi forces is hovering around 30 to 40 a day, down from a spike of 140 in the days leading up to the Jan. 30 election. But a senior Pentagon official doesn...
...called the Odic force, "power rays" that flow from healthy bodies. He invokes Einstein's mathematics to justify his own mystical yearnings and "inner vibrations."

"Embroideries" is as funny, opinionated, controversial and surprising as any good comic or conversation should...
Senegal-born, U.S.-raised Akon starts his tale of abandonment with typical woe. Then the chorus--a sample of Bobby Vinton's Mr. Lonely, played at Chipmunk speed--arrives, and the song turns into a joke about self-pity. A rare R&B hit with a hint of self-awareness...
