...Pamela Anderson, the weight of expectation must seem pretty light. After all, the former Baywatch star has been heralded more for her infamous sex tape with ex-husband Tommy Lee than for her acting ability. Perhaps that's why, starring as the genie in the Christmas pantomime of Aladdin at London's New Wimbledon Theatre, she comes off so carefree and jubilant and manages to upstage a cast of two dozen actors and dancers, some of whom obviously have far more stage experience than her. "I'm here to serve you, Master," she says to an awestruck Aladdin after...
...began, but many of them developed the condition over the next two decades. When the Stanford team tabulated the data, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine in 2008, it found that the runners' knees were no more or less healthy than the nonrunners' knees. And It didn't seem to matter how much the runners ran. "We have runners who average 200 miles a year and others who average 2,000 miles a year. Their joints are the same," says James Fries, a professor emeritus of medicine at Stanford and the leader of the research group. The study also...
...accumulated more than 1,000 comments, the majority negative to the idea. Similar objections can be heard on the capital's streets. "If two men want to be together, that is their decision.

Engineer Hector Cruz, 59, said he voted for the leftist PRD but didn't like the new ruling. "Children growing up in a gay marriage would be traumatized," he said...
...nonevent, in part because the government keeps a tight rein on information about religious holidays from entering the country, and in part because Christians can be arrested for celebrating it. Though the country's constitution does grant freedom of religion to all citizens, North Korean authorities don't seem to pay the idea much heed. The government also monitors other religions - such as Buddhism and Cheondoism, a popular Korean belief system that combines elements of several faiths - but underground churches are particularly feared by authorities because they're estimated to have helped some 20,000 North Koreans defect to China...
Initial reports that the airstrike may have been the work of the CIA seem to have been mistaken: Yemeni authorities say it was their jets that conducted the dawn operation, in the province of Shabwa, 400 miles south of the capital Sana'a. In a statement, the Yemeni embassy in Washington D.C. said the strike targeted a meeting of "scores of Yemeni and foreign Al Qaeda operatives." The meeting had been called to discuss retaliation for government raids in mid-December on al-Qaeda hideouts in Abyan and Sana'a provinces...
