...secure a berth on this baby, you'll need to shell out a minimum of $1,529 for a seven-night cruise, which breaks down to $218 a day. Not terrible for food, lodging and a Broadway show, not to mention the jazz revues, pools and aqua theater at your disposal. A luxury suite can put you out $7,609 a week, or $1,087 per day. Capacity across the industry has increased--15 ships have launched this year, including Carnival's Dream, and 12 set sail next year--so there are deals of less than...
...also have a brief retrospective of some of Callie Shell's unique behind-the-scenes pictures of President Obama over the past year, including a fresh and distinctive round of images from just last week. The package also includes pictures from long-term art projects like Andrew Moore's photographs from his two-year undertaking in Detroit (which complements our yearlong focus on that struggling American city) and a picture by Richard Mosse of a surveillance balloon on a U.S. military base in Iraq, shot while working on a series on Saddam's palaces...

ENI plans to pump about 1.1 million barrels a day from Zubair in partnership with California-based Occidental Petroleum and South Korea's Kogas. ENI was quickly followed by ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell, which agreed to produce about 2.3 million barrels a day in another giant field called West Qurna. Combined with BP-CNPC's anticipated output from Rumaila, "those three fields alone would be about 6% of total oil production in the world" when output targets are reached, says Munton, the Wood...
...long they expected any of their stuff to last. For that's the other big trade-off we make for low-priced goods-often cheap simply means cheap. Shell likes to tell the story of how she once bought three blenders in quick succession; the flimsy blades were no match for the ice that goes into smoothies. When "low cost" is the marketing trope we most respond to, quality easily falls by the wayside. And that state of affairs, Shell concludes based on the response to her book, bothers no one as much as the less affluent people who inexpensive...
