...Year's Eve bombings in Bangkok erupted in two waves. The first series of blasts exploded around 6:30 in the evening, just as revelers were beginning to crowd the streets of this party-loving town. The six targets included a shopping mall, a supermarket and a bus stop at Victory Monument, one of Bangkok's busiest gathering places. "At first, I thought the noise was a flat tire," says waiter Thanapon Prukthara, whose outdoor restaurant is located less than 20 yards from the Victory Monument detonation site.

Instead, breeders will almost certainly use cloned animals as they use prize bulls - they will mate them in the natural way, and it will be the offspring whose food products will end up on supermarket shelves.

If you don't, then you'll have to work twice as hard to keep that life from taking control...
...Things could become a lot more simpler in the coming months, however. Reliance Industries Limited, India's biggest conglomerate with interests in everything from oil refining to mobile phones, plans to open more than 2,000 supermarkets in the next two years. The company opened its first 11 stores in Hyderabad earlier this month and its first Delhi shops will open in a few weeks. These will be a lot smaller than a typical U.S. or European supermarket - no bigger in most cases than a large convenience store, although Reliance promises that much bigger supermarkets are in the pipeline...
