...stalemate on economic reform. In the first few weeks of campaigning, Merkel and the cdu made some amateurish mistakes, appearing divided and, at times, muddled. Even the choice of theme song doesn't seem to have been thought through. The Rolling Stones are startled to hear that the track from their album Goats Head Soup has been pressed into service. "We didn't grant permission," a spokesman for the musicians told Time. "We are surprised that permission was not requested. If it had been requested, we would have said no." A spokesman for the cdu says the party cleared usage...
...mouse does have some nifty technology. Its scroll wheel is actually more of a track ball, capable of wiggling a page both up and down and side to side in a fairly fluid motion. Other mouse makers have clunkier separate controls rather than a smooth combined one. Also, touch sensitivity means that the mouse simply knows what you meant right click or middle click or left click. There's no need for separate buttons handling each click...
...militia proxies in the spring of last year that "any move that would wear out the U.S. forces in Iraq should be done. Every possible means should be used to keep the U.S. forces engaged in Iraq."

...unmolested in the pristine Dulong Valley in northwestern Yunnan province. You can now see for yourself, thanks to a new dirt road connecting the valley to the nearest town, Gongshan. Anthropologists need not be worried about a tourist invasion: it takes nine hours to drive this precarious 90-km track, followed by several hours of trekking, before you reach the area where the Dulong live. That means only the most committed travelers will likely make the journey. If you want to spice up the adventure further, local tour operators offer alternative routes. The seven-day trek organized by Haiwei Trails...
...Babel, many Web gurus now believe, will be "tagging," a personalized system of filing and describing online content (including Web pages and blogs) that can be done by anyone reading any site. Take, for example, del.icio.us, founded in 2003 by former Morgan Stanley analyst Joshua Schachter to keep track of the thousands of Web page bookmarks he accumulated. The site allows users to write descriptions, or tags, of favorite Web pages using terms they choose to create their own taxonomy of favorite pages (or "folksonomy" as its grassroots adaptation is being termed). Search for the word cheese on del.icio.us...
