What kinds of sources do you use when getting your celeb tips? - Katie Walthall, Sterling, Va. Well, the best sources are always my friends. I won't just put anything up. I take what I do very seriously. I push buttons and say things that offend people, but I also want to make sure that I'm not perpetuating lies. I've never made up anything on my site. I think the only celebrity magazines that don't make up stories are People and Us Weekly. All the others, it's a combination of true things and fabricated things...
...Still, it's another challenge for the industry at a time when demand in mature markets could use its own caffeine kick.

In recent years, several retired players have been denied disability compensation from the NFL for serious health conditions, including heart disease, which they attribute to their time playing football. While the NFL pays out about $1 billion in pensions and other benefits each year, it sets aside just $20 million annually to care for disabled retired players. Players' advocates say that allotment is too small to cover the injuries...
...girls' school built by the Tarakais, recently arrived refugees from Swat describe the Taliban's preparations for the military offensive. (Schools across the North-West Frontier Province have closed for six months; their buildings are being used to house refugees.) "The Taliban took over the food shops and changed the locks," says Mohammad Ali, 30, who used to sell clothes in Mingora's main bazaar. "They occupied a high school to make their base there.
