...understand the many references to sectarianism. It seems to me that the war is more one of control of people and territory than of religion. If changing your name protects you from attack, then you can't tell your enemy by looking at him or even knowing what he believes. The agony in Baghdad seems more like territorial gang warfare than religious strife, more about revenge than an attempt to make people believe in a different theology. Mark Larsen Grants Pass...
...opening this week will be low-key, unlike a typical MGM Mirage grand opening, according to Bruce Nourse, vice president of public affairs for Beau Rivage. "That's because of the gravity of this day. We understand thousands of people's lives were changed, and for that reason we are not going to have fireworks and such.

But both players understand the benefits of a U.S. Open final that includes them. Nadal serves a sales pitch to Americans who might yawn at a matchup with no Yanks.

"I am not American, I'm Spanish, and I was following that because there are special moments," he says, through an interpreter...
...Listen, a song from her upcoming motion picture Dreamgirls (Don't ya just love cross-promotion?)--B'day holds up because the bulk of the songs aren't about her or you or anything at all. Get Me Bodied has no hummable melody, a title I don't understand and a chorus that repeats "Can you get me bodied/ I wanna be myself tonight." But set to a double-Dutch rhythm by producer Swizz Beatz, with lots of hand claps and whistles and maybe a passing marching band, it's impossible not to sway from side to side, and Beyonc?...
