...networking site was the fastest-rising search query, beating out Web rivals Facebook (No. 3) and Hulu (No. 4) for the top spot. But absent the cybertrifecta, the 2009 list is predictably grim. In a year that saw the "Summer of Death," Michael Jackson was the second fastest-rising term, and Natasha Richardson (No. 8) and Farrah Fawcett (No. 9) made the top 10. The only celebrity who's still among us that managed to crack the list? Lady Gaga, who catapulted to fame this year and landed at No. 10. (See the 25 sites we can't live without...

Thompson and company scoured Cambridge-area antique stores and their own homes for old cookware, vases, or furnishings originally sold by D/R almost 50 years ago.

We have been at war for eight years, at enormous cost in lives and resources. Years of debate over Iraq and terrorism have left our unity on national security issues in tatters and created a highly polarized and partisan backdrop for this effort. And having just experienced the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, the American people are understandably focused on rebuilding our economy...
...much of Dubai has been built on short-term loans, based on the idea that income from the projects would buoy liquidity and help roll forward debt payments. For example, Dubai's driverless metro system, one of the most advanced in the world, is financed through three-year notes, which the city-state believed they could renew as ticket fees helped pay the interest. Now, the international consortium that is building the system - including the Japanese construction giants Mitsubishi and Obayashi as well as the Turkish company Yapi Merkezi - are probably left with huge fees unpaid...
