...Fouad Wehbe sucks on his houka pipe at the Rawda coffee house around the corner from my apartment on Sharia Pakistan in Damascus, the irony of his current plight is not lost on him. Last year, Wehbe, 26, joined thousands of his countrymen on the streets of Beirut to call for an end to Syria's domination of his homeland, and threw a heady, vodka-fueled "Liberation Festival" in his Hamra apartment when they officially withdrew. Then, last Thursday, the graphic designer, his parents and brother paid a cabdriver $2,500 to drive them out of Beirut to the heart...
...just ACs that are the targets of the metal thieves. Plumbing pipes, electrical wires, mail boxes and even copper urns decorating graves are all fair game. Even the Alabama Environmental Council's recycling center in downtown Birmingham was a victim of a recycling crime. The center's lone bathroom was stripped of copper pipe, spewing gallons of water out during drought restrictions on water usage. Fortunately, a homeless man cut off the water. Still, the $12 worth of copper mined from the sink cost the small non-profit $800 in repairs...
...expects to break ground early next year on a $1.5 billion, 900-MW plant in South Yorkshire. It's adjacent to the Hatfield Colliery, a shuttered coal mine Powerfuel is now reopening.

Ginzburg, unfortunately, was Central Casting's idea of a pornographer: shady, you might say shifty, with a thin, sallow face and a small mustache. But he, unlike Hefner, wasn't selling himself as the face of his magazine. And Eros was so gorgeous, it made the sex appeal of its editor-publisher irrelevant...
...acquired the industrial and commercial client base of Britain's privately-owned Pennine Natural Gas. The next sector ripe for state consolidation may be the pipeline business. According to official documents seen by Time, there are moves afoot within the Kremlin to create a huge oil and gas pipe-line monopoly based on an existing pipeline operator, Transneft. In February, Russian Industry and Energy Minister Viktor Khristenko submitted a report to Putin suggesting that Transneft acquire Russia's stake in the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), a company partly owned by the governments of Kazakhstan and Oman, which operates...
