Introduced in the summer of 2001, the dolls are cool, urban and multicultural, with names like Roxxi and Nazalia and Jade and Fianna. They have big heads and big hair, and faces that make you wonder if Angelina Jolie licensed her lips. The designers have even solved the problem of those infuriating little Barbie shoes.

During the photo session, the notably bronzed Berlusconi sucked...
...idea: What about using the technology in the pump that powers the space shuttle to create a heart pump for patients? Saucier talked to Baylor College of Medicine physicians, and for almost two decades NASA and DeBakey worked on a mini ventricular device. The size of a pink beveled eraser, it helps adults and children survive for up to two years while awaiting a transplant...
