...game last season, to the Memphis Grizzlies for center Darko Milicic. About three weeks later, Memphis shipped the nine-year veteran to the Los Angeles Clippers for high-scoring forward - and perennial troublemaker - Zach Randolph. Three days after that, the Clips moved Richardson to the Minnesota Timberwolves for three nondescript bench warmers. Finally (we think), on Aug. 13 Minnesota gave Richardson better weather, and a better shot at the postseason, by trading him to Miami for journeyman Mark Blount. TIME chatted with Richardson about his dizzying summer...

One businessman says an associate of his who runs a consulting firm was dragged recently from a flight back to Tehran and then whisked away by security personnel for days of interrogation.

By this time next year...
...Tianyu Natural History Museum doesn't look like the repository of a scientific treasure trove. A nondescript brick building in Pingyi, a secluded town 430 miles (692 km) southwest of Beijing, its doors are guarded by two groggy security guards who spend their day flipping through newspapers and sipping tea. There are no curators or guides giving tours of the museum's 28 exhibit halls, and only a handful of visitors on a Sunday afternoon...
