...thankfully there has also been wonderful preservation. Last year, Palm Springs' Riviera Hotel, psriviera.com, once the retreat of Sinatra's Rat Pack and other stars, reopened after a stunning multimillion-dollar renovation. The Ace Hotel, acehotel.com, an energetically revamped motel, also reopened in 2009 and has become one of Palm Springs' trendier hangouts. If chilling out by its poolside on Sunday afternoons to the sounds of a DJ counts as architectural tourism, you can be sure the pastime will have plenty of takers...
...context of the historic lightheartedness of the Golden Globes, which had its original journalist-presenter format hijacked in 1958 when the whiskey-toting Rat Pack rushed the stage and took over the show, the break in levity this year came as something as a surprise. Political statements are associated more with the Academy Awards. Sure, funny things still happened. (Ryan Bingham completely missing his Best Song award while buying drinks at the bar comes to mind.) But the celebration's muted atmosphere was summed up by Jason Reitman's acceptance speech in which he discussed...

The group also showed its versatility, driving to the hoop to draw fouls and demonstrating range. The trio went 19-of-24 from the free-throw line and hit all five of its three-pointers, but Lin noted that the group’s intangibles were equally valuable...
There is nothing reassuring about the trip out of what is perhaps the world's most dangerous country. Somalis pay between $70 and $120 to pack into smuggler boats that are filled far beyond capacity - it is common for boats that normally fit 50 people to be filled with well over 100. Smugglers often beat their human cargo, who are forced to squat in the same position throughout transit in order to keep the boat stable. Then, fearing the Yemeni coast guard, smugglers often dump their passengers overboard as the boats approach Yemeni territorial waters, forcing the refugees to swim...
...played by Rachel McAdams, who is saucy and fetching, but we don't believe for a minute that this is really a woman who would give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money. Or rather, the Sherlock Holmes, the one we never imagined was hiding a six-pack under his tweeds. (See a TIME video from London's Sherlock Holmes museum...
