...that some rebel groups have become more organized. Videotapes obtained by TIME from sources close to the insurgency appear to confirm the existence of makeshift training camps inside Iraq to teach recruits guerrilla warfare. The camps are tucked inside villages and conduct weapons-handling drills in remote fields. One tape shows four men in uniforms gathered in a dilapidated barracks facility in western Iraq and receiving instruction on how to fire a modified missile launcher.

What's New? Witty, cartoony designs are hot this season. "It's about having a fun, jokey style," says Casey O'Farrell, manager of New York City's Blades Board and Skate. This Daewon Round 3 board from Almost ($152, including Spitfire wheels, Bones ball bearings and grip tape by Black Magic) has pronounced curves for softer jump landings. Tip: Stick to wood. Makers are trying out metal and fiber-glass boards, but experts still rely on Canadian maple...
