...just us, or does the Today show's MATT LAUER look alarmingly at ease with a bare-midriff, miniskirt and pumps? For the morning program's annual Halloween costume contest last week, Lauer got gussied up as socialite Paris Hilton, while co-anchor KATIE COURIC made for a Mini-Me DONALD TRUMP, and weatherman AL ROKER channeled a pre-diet Oprah Winfrey. Supposedly on some other networks people in blazers and pearls actually read news and interviewed guests. But frankly, we were too mesmerized by Lauer's shapely calves to notice...
...again next year? It won't be easy. In today's era of free agents and salary arbitration, it's almost impossible to build dynasties. For a bit more money, players regularly flee even fun-loving championship teams. In the past three decades, baseball has produced just two mini-dynasties: the 1972-74 Oakland A's and the 1996-2000 New York Yankees. The Red Sox seem particularly vulnerable to market forces: as many as 16 of their players could become free agents this off-season, including pitchers Pedro Martinez and Derek Lowe, both of whom starred in the playoffs...
Aspiring entrepreneurs would do well to visit Gina Martinez's new culinary studios in Morrisville, N.J. You will probably find a big batch of 10-year-olds in mini-aprons whipping up a carrot cake or chanting "Viva the chef! Viva the chef!" in time to their vegetable chopping. With folk songs playing in the slick teaching kitchen, the kids hum while their food sizzles. It's an unconventional kind of cooking school, and it really works. Martinez, 38, a Cuban-American former school teacher, has used that recipe to build a national chain of cooking schools for kids featuring...
...course, almost every good thing has a catch, and for flash players it's storage size: most have anywhere from 128 MB to 1 GB of memory, compared with 4 GB on an iPod mini or 15 GB to 40 GB for a full-size model. A 256-MB player holds about eight hours of music or 120 songs, which means you will be refreshing your playlist frequently. That is relatively easy, especially with devices like Creative Labs' Muvo TX FM ($80 for 128 MB or $100 for 256 MB), which has a standard USB port built in so that...
...their forks and reaching for notepads. First, he proposed that Kashmir be divided up into seven regions based on geography and ethnicity?and not necessarily on religion. (Muslims are in a majority in most parts of Kashmir.) Next, he said, both India and Pakistan would withdraw troops from these mini-regions, one by one. It would then be left up to the Kashmiris, along with New Delhi and Islamabad, to haggle over whether they wanted India and Pakistan to jointly administer the territories or place them under United Nations' control...
