...bridge the boundaries between Arabs and Jews. "I've always worked with Arab singers - from places like Lebanon and Algeria - but this is the first time we will sing together in a common language," says the folksy singer-songwriter, who has performed with the likes of Sheryl Crow and Sting. "Music offers a platform for messages I believe in, and it's a platform that must be taken advantage of." (See pictures from the recent Grammys...
...cruel guerrilla leader who helped hold three U.S. military contractors hostage for more than five years was suddenly prostrate on the floor of the helicopter. Colombian Army commandos, disguised as humanitarian aid workers in a sting operation to rescue the prisoners, were pummeling the rebel commandante into submission.

Footage of sharks encountering giant sting rays and turtles casually munching on deadly poisonous jellyfish are viewed through a mask, in the dark; scuba divers see the ocean the same way. 3-D filmmakers have found that objects moving quickly across the screen can make viewers nauseous, but having anything move quickly into your field of vision in the water is startling. Mostly the technology succeeds, however, not because it makes you feel you're underwater...
