...Stacy Keibler finished third. In a humbling post mortem of my prediction, I looked back at the way people were searching for Stacy. Her searches weren't about her dancing ability or even the show. Internet users were looking for pictures of the tall, leggy blond wrestler, fewer clothes preferred, en masse. This led to a new step in my prediction method, what I refer to now as an SKCC, the Stacy Keibler Correction Coefficient...
...trouble at Abu Ghraib was a long time brewing. The 260-acre prison complex lies behind tall walls off a highway 20 miles west of Baghdad. In the days of Saddam it housed thousands of criminals and political prisoners who were subjected to unspeakable torture at the whim of the regime. The U.S. military decided to reopen the prison last August for all Iraqis being detained and renamed it the Baghdad Correctional Facility. But reminders of the prison's grim history were inescapable. From the ceiling of each 10-ft.-by-12-ft. cell still dangled a large hook, which...
...could offer the most fireworks, if Sharapova would only show up. Williams needed about an hour to flatten her in each of their two matches this year. Still, Williams had Serena-like praise for her opponent. "She wins a lot of matches with her power. And she's really tall. Imagine what I could do at 6 ft. 2." That Serena swagger is back.

...streets of Mansour have no names anymore. They are identifiable not by what is there now but by what used to be. In the center of the neighborhood, our armored humvee circles around the crater that once held a 20-ft.-tall statue of Abu Jaffar al-Mansour, the 8th century founder of Baghdad; it was pulverized by a homemade bomb in 2005. To keep their bearings, the troops have taken to identifying routes by the names of 1980s heavy-metal bands. We drive down Bon Jovi, where the barbershop used to be, and pass Skid Row, which...
...Choi is probably Korea's best-known gamer, having clinched the gold medal at last year's World Cyber Games in Italy. The tall, slender champion of the computer began training when he was 16, and hopes eventually to retire a wealthy man. "I want to be rich," he says simply, and that may not be idle talk: Gamers at Choi's level of skill can earn several hundred thousand dollars a year off their keyboard and mouse - and the adulation of the nation's twenty- and thirty somethings, especially young women. Here, gaming isn't regarded as a geeky...
