EXPENSIVE $135 NIKE HRM TRIAX 100 This sleek-looking Nike watch doubles as a heart-rate monitor. Strap its elastic chest transmitter (not shown) around your torso, and the fun begins. You can program it to graph your pulse and heart rate with each grueling lap (up to 100 laps), and it will even sound an alarm if it thinks you're overdoing it. Easy there, Flash. www.niketown.com...
...moved in on the so-called Meliani cell in Frankfurt last Dec. 26, they arrested two Iraqis, an Algerian and a French Muslim, but they didn?t get "Meliani" himself - Algerian Mohammed Bensakhria. The Spanish police did, acting on German information, on June 22, by which time the formerly sleek 40-year-old had grown a scruffy beard and melded into the transient worker milieu of Alicante.

...Fast-forward to Jang's latest project, Resurrection of the Little Match Girl, a big-budget cyberfantasy that he's shooting in the southeast port city of Pusan. On location there isn't a whip or handheld camera in sight. A sleek stunt team from Hong Kong bustles about, fine-tuning a barroom shoot-out featuring a gunslinging, transgender Chinese starlet. You can afford that with a $5.5 million budget, which makes this Korea's priciest film production of all time. Forget the art-house crowd. This time Jang is worried about pleasing his investors and drumming up big ticket...
