...Those divisions have steadily widened since last year's monthlong war. Then, Hizballah's leader, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, was the toast of the Arab street, after fighting the Israeli army to a standstill. Hizballah soon came under intense domestic and international pressure to disarm, but it has managed to replenish its arsenal with the aid of its patrons, Iran and Syria, according to Lebanese officials and Hizballah members. There is some evidence, too, that Hizballah may be sharing its skills with Shi'ite insurgents in Iraq. U.S. military officials have claimed that in March they arrested a senior Hizballah bomb...
...kids within an orphanage is that there's no touching," says Aronson. "Without touching, you don't feel like your body exists. You don't have a sense of your physical abilities. Massage is one of the most important parts of physical and occupational therapy. Massaging creams and oils replenish the skin, the muscles and the soul. It couldn't be a better marriage...
...tall PR women and the city’s chi-chi crowd. You might be thinking, “A tent? Are we going camping?” And we are entering a jungle of sorts.

Heading to our first of five runway shows, we muscle our way to the front on the line, overpowered by the sudden cloud of arrogance and impatience from the other reporters...
...warmer world. Spring ice that the bears rely on as fishing platforms has been breaking up about three weeks earlier than it used to. Though polar bears don't hibernate, they do retreat to dens in the winter to escape bad weather. When they emerge, they badly need to replenish their fat supplies, and slashing three weeks off the dining schedule does not help. Scientists who track bear populations report that fewer cubs are surviving into adulthood - never mind the ones that aren't getting born at all - and those adults that are observed are often thinner than they used...
Action is urgently needed. More than 80% of African soil is seriously degraded, and in many areas it is on the verge of permanent failure. For centuries, farmers survived by clearing new land for each season's plantings and allowing old fields to lie fallow and replenish their nutrients. But the continent's fourfold increase in population since the 1950s has forced farmers to grow crop after crop on the same fields, draining them of all nourishment. Do that for a long enough time, and the physical nature of the soil changes. It becomes so tightly compacted that...
