...draw respectable audiences of curious Shanghainese. At last summer's three-week run of Palace of Eternal Youth, a Tang dynasty love tragedy, two thirds of the audience were under the age of 35, and the production netted $92,000 - modest by the standards of Covent Garden or La Scala, but equal to the Shanghai Kunqu Opera Theatre's revenue for the whole of 2006. "It thrills me to know that these are the same melodies listened to by people 600 years ago," says 25-year-old marketing manager...
...ring any bells): they all tried it with only limited success. Juanes, who has recorded only in Spanish, has achieved the international acclaim that these Latin American artists strove for. Non-Spanish speakers have enjoyed Juanes’s music—no translation necessary. “La Vida...Es Un Ratico,” his first album in three years, happily proves no different.

Even the couch starts to bleed. And when they finally start making out, pinkness drips from their mouths like they?...
...walk the line between juvenile and crass. Only they do it surprisingly well—most of the time, anyway.

One of the biggest problems with “La Cucaracha” is its lack of any continuity whatsoever. “La Cucaracha?...
...blame the droughts or heat waves of any one season on climate change, the overwhelming majority of climate models point to more of these extreme conditions in the already dry Southwest as the planet warms. A study led by researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, Calif., and published in Science last year found that as temperatures increased in the West, which is now 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit (almost 1 degree Celsius) warmer than it was in 1987, so did the length of the wildfire season and the size and duration of the average fire...
