...baby scribble all over his already scribbled on photos and suddenly I felt superior to the pink-haired celebrity gossip diva. Gwyneth Paltrow runs an online lifestyle website called Goop. I have no opinion of the site, but I enjoyed covering it in goop. And the recently arrested Kanye West? I loved 808 and Heartbreak, but I couldn't help but attack his site with aliens...
...Yunnan province. The pipeline, along with a plan for a new deepwater port in Arakan where ships laden with Middle Eastern oil can dock and disgorge their valuable cargo, gives China an alternative to the expensive and sometimes dangerous Strait of Malacca by directly supplying energy to its landlocked west. The Shwe project is Burma's largest ever foreign-investment commitment. (The second largest is the Yadana pipeline to Thailand.) Though Arakan sits on the country's biggest oil and natural-gas fields, Sittwe only gets three hours of electricity a day. The town boasts an "e-library" located...
...more frugal world, it's all about getting more bang for the buck.

In a 1987 West End musical version of High Society, she was perennial debutante Tracy Lord, played in movies by Katharine Hepburn and Grace Kelly. She made her Broadway debut in 1993 as Eugene O'Neill's Anna Christie, a part Greta Garbo made famous on film and which Ingrid Bergman and Liv Ullmann had performed...
...meandering Tigris River cuts Mosul into a larger, tamer "green" eastern section and a violent and insecure "red" west, the heart of the crisis. Graffiti lauding the Islamic army of Iraq, a hard-line Sunni group loosely affiliated with al-Qaeda, are prevalent in many parts of west Mosul. Iraqi security forces have crossed out some of the writing on the wall, but it's proving harder to erase the insurgents and their support base. "I knew AQ [al-Qaeda] was a problem, but I didn't know to what extent," says Lieut. Colonel Thomas W. Cipolla, battalion commander...
