...divisional rival, the Minnesota Vikings, in what was breathlessly touted as a revenge match against the team that thought the 39-year-old signal caller was washed up. Favre proved his critics and the Packers wrong, leading the Vikings to a 30-23 victory, throwing three touchdowns in the process. (See the top 10 sports comebacks...
...Printmaking has had a dramatic effect on most of the artists spending time at the STPI. For Malaysian painter Ahmad Zakii Anwar, the process of lithography emphasized his innate drafting skills, and gave his print series of male nudes cartographic precision. Chinese installation artist Lin Tianmiao, used to working in large spaces with big props, cut her work down to a more intimate scale.

For those difficult negotiations, a cool handshake is a start, nothing...
...Even if the Czech court does clear the treaty, President Vaclav Klaus, an avowed opponent of the document, could delay signing. If the delays drag on until spring next year, it could reopen the process in the United Kingdom: the British Conservatives - expected to win a general election next Spring - have promised to call a British referendum on Lisbon if it is not fully ratified by the time they come to power...
