...case has most Louisville fans buzzing and worried that they may lose their marquee coach. And it coincides with some interesting basketball developments. In early April, one of Pitino's longtime coaching rivals, John Calipari, was hired by the University of Kentucky. Also last month, Pitino's son Richard, who'd been on the Louisville staff, left to join Billy Donovan's staff at the University of Florida...
Most ethnic groups get their own month to celebrate their culture. What do Arab-Americans get? "Orange alert," jokes comedian Dean Obeidallah. An American born in New Jersey to a Palestinian father and Italian-American mother, Obeidallah turned to comedy to fight the suspicion and ignorance he encountered in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.

In a speech there, Chinese president Hu Jintao trumpeted his country's emergence as a budding maritime power, while assuring foreign observers that China "would never seek hegemony, nor would it turn to arms races with other nations." Instead, Hu claimed, the retooled and expanding Chinese...
...neatly packaged for public consumption, but it did its job. Brown, leaning heavily on an independent review of the allowances system, its findings due by the end of the year, looked plodding and procedural by comparison. That's perhaps not surprising. When he did attempt a quick response last month to the first signs of a brewing expenses scandal, his proposals - broadcast in a YouTube message which rapidly became known for the Prime Minister's awkwardness rather than his ideas' merit - soon unraveled...
