...most diners - even to people who eat out a lot. The truth is that whether in Peoria, Persia or points in between, the most influential chefs aren't the ones who periodically descend to restaurants they've created and then leave again; they're the ones who actually run the kitchen every night. That's where Batali is blessed - he has help from guys like Mike Toscano, who will be running the Eataly meat restaurant, and Mark Ladner, who runs Del Posto, Batali's upscale, special-occasion restaurant.

Every day, capacity crowds of 5,600 are filling the Vancouver Olympic Centre, mostly to cheer on Canada, home to 729,000 of the 1.1 million curlers around the globe. The atmosphere is even more electric than the scenes in arenas for other sports...
...forbidding mountain ranges along Pakistan's Afghan border, "the drones can hit where the Pakistani military cannot," says Talaat Masood, a retired general and independent military analyst in Islamabad. On Feb. 19, U.S. aerial surveillance helped the Pakistanis find and kill more than 30 militants in a bombing run in a forested valley in South Waziristan, which, until a major Pakistani offensive last October, had been crawling with Pakistani and Afghan Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters...
