He will also be stopping in Baghdad, which will be the Senator's second visit to Iraq. Obama started his visit to Afghanistan with a briefing at Bagram Air force Base on Saturday, followed by a quick helicopter trip to the eastern province of Nangahar where he met with the provincial governor. He returned to Kabul in the evening and stayed the night at the U.S. embassy. In an interview aired Sunday...

Other stars have re-emerged to save a struggling franchise, like Michael Jordan, who proclaimed his 1995 return to the Chicago Bulls after a failed bid at pro baseball with a two-word press release: "I'm back." The deathless Rocky franchise aside, the "sweet science" seems to specialize...
...campaign, launched by marketing agency Out Now Consulting, was intended to promote Amro Worldwide, a London-based gay tour operator, and to tout tourism to several gay-friendly U.S. destinations. In the week leading up to the British capital's gay pride parade on July 5, the agency placed 60 posters along escalators in London's Leicester Square and Covent Garden tube stations, which serve Soho, the city's gay hub.
