...within the space of the last four months, the Dome has become a hot destination. Now redubbed the O2 - after the mobile telecommunications operator paying $12 million a year for naming rights - and centered around a newly built, 20,000 seat arena, the O2 has quickly established itself as London's hippest concert venue since opening in June. Prince sold out 21 nights at the arena in August and September. Other top acts to play it so far include the Rolling Stones, Justin Timberlake, Elton John and the White Stripes. A reunited Led Zeppelin will play a one-time only...
...excited about flying these days. Hard, that is, unless you've just boarded the Airbus A300 owned by former Indian Airlines engineer B.C. Gupta. Take, for example, the safety demonstration. After asking for a volunteer from the 120 or so kids crammed, some two to a seat, in the plane's economy-class cabin, flight attendant Ridhi Sehgal explains how the oxygen masks work. A plastic deck chair appears and Sehgal helps the volunteer, a worried-looking boy of 7, up onto it so that the other passengers can see him. "This is just for show," Sehgal explains...
...Wenonah Canoe, one of the largest canoe and kayak makers in the country, kayak sales outpaced those of canoes four years ago, according to president Rich Enochs. While canoes typically seat two people and are harder to steer, most kayaks are built for one, and after a 30-minute lesson, even novices can go faster than they could in a canoe.

And Wenonah's Current Designs line features smaller vessels that are easier for shorter adults...
...alignment with the passionately pro-life wing of the GOP, Jindal could not convince rural voters in the state's north, who had voted for white supremacist David Duke less than two decades earlier, to give him their support. Not easily dissuaded, Jindal ran for and won the congressional seat vacated by Senator David Vitter one year later. He was elected freshman-class president, and within a month of taking office, he masterminded a photo op at the 2005 State of the Union Address, convincing some of his fellow Republicans to ink their fingers purple in solidarity with Iraqi voters...
...Heartland Progressive, implies, Obey is one of the most liberal members of Congress. Elected at the tender age of 30, it's no surprise that he spends only 100 pages talking about his life before Congress and 300 pages on his time in office. Obey won his seat on April Fool's Day, 1969, with just 51.5% of the vote, in a special election to replace Republican Melvin Laird, who resigned to become Nixon's Secretary of Defense. He has since built a solid majority, winning reelection in 2006 with 62% of the vote...
