Some people amuse themselves with books and magazines, in-flight movies or a few hours of shut-eye, while making the transcontinental trip from San Francisco to Boston. Crammed into my coach-class seat I'm entertaining myself as only a true data geek can - by perusing a massive spreadsheet containing Internet users' unique searches for each of the front-running presidential candidates. United Airlines, you may keep your complimentary headset, thank you. I have no interest in watching John Travolta in drag in Hairspray (who picks these movies?) when someone in the Hitwise sample has searched for "Rudy Giuliani...
...make the next step for us and be a real key guy.” Richter has already shown that he can handle himself between the pipes. Last season, the rookie notched a .903 save percentage and made 437 saves overall. And in his second career start, Richter shut out Boston College, which was then ranked No. 3 and ended the season with a loss in the NCAA title game.

"Gas stations even serving diesel have been difficult to come across," says Ma, who didn't wish to give his first name. "I'm losing 100,000 renminbi...
...recalls Luong, who continues to be hassled by the authorities. Another artist who battles the censors is Truong Tan, who often explores homosexual themes in his Matisse-influenced paintings. Earlier this year, an installation in which Tan constructed a 2-m-high diaper out of police uniforms was promptly shut down. The threat of official interference means that many Hanoi galleries - there are dozens in the art-mad town - prefer to trade in naive village scenes that feel almost deliberately apolitical...
