...most prominent trophies are, of course, the Academy Awards,. Many, however, consider the annual Golden Globe nominations to be the official beginning of the three-month "Oscar season." On Thursday morning in Beverly Hills - at exactly 5 a.m. local time - the nominees will be announced for the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards, serving up an ideal Christmas gift for studios that will then rush to convert the love into marketing gold...
...Each of the seven subject cities used differing combinations of strong local leaders, businesses, universities and community groups, to invest in downtown neighborhoods and housing and reposition their towns for the high-tech age. Saint-Etienne's derelict former arms factory became home to a cluster of clever new engineering companies. An advanced technology park with 6,000 new jobs helped recast Bremen as a hub for science...

In the north, where the Uzbek and Tajik warlords' historic hatred of the Pashtun-dominated Taliban has maintained a stability that has so far been unattainable elsewhere, both national and coalition leaders...
