...first time, Armani fans in Tokyo can sample the Italian designer's take on wellness at the new Armani/Spa in the 12-story Ginza tower that opened last fall. "This is not just about Thai massage," the designer joked at a press conference before the opening. Indeed, the luxurious treatments are inspired by both the volcanic mud from the Mediterranean island of Pantelleria (off the coast of Sicily), where Armani has a home, and by the Roman tradition of hot-spring bathing for relaxation.

...that Bout's in custody, getting him in front of an American judge will be difficult. Thai authorities, who seem to be enjoying the publicity, said they are considering trying him in Thailand first before extraditing him. Other countries like Belgium, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates have also been investigating Bout. The Russian media has reported that the Kremlin may request Thailand extradite him to Moscow, where he has been living in recent years. If that happens, it is unlikely he would face any charges at all. But, for Viktor Bout, it doesn't look like he gets...
