That’s something new. So far the KLA’s war has been in rural villages, where the guerrillas control perhaps 25 percent of the countryside. Whenever the apparently disorganized KLA has struck in larger towns, it has been beaten back by Serbs deploying tanks, heavy artillery and even jet fighters. Pristina can still look like a bustling provincial town during the day, and a sleepy one at night. But just beneath the surface, Pristina now is as peaceful–and as pro-government–as Saigon was on the eve of Tet....

Usually held the day before the funeral service and/or interment, or the same day, this part of the modern funeral service is often conducted at a funeral home, cemetery, church or other places of worship, or another location selected by the next-of-kin when arranging the service. Technically, however, this contemporary gathering of surviving family members, friends and loved ones in the presence of the deceased individual, who usually lies in an open or closed casket, is a visitation (although it might also be called a viewing)....

BORDEAUX, France (Reuters) - Wales coach Chris Coleman believes Slovakia would be unwise to dwell on his team’s poor form ahead of their opening Euro 2016 Group B match on Saturday. Since the qualification campaign finished in October, the Welsh have lost three friendlies and drawn one. Coleman, a national hero after leading the squad to their first tournament finals since 1958, told a news conference on Friday, his 46th birthday, that only the 3-0 defeat by Sweden earlier this week caused him any concern....

“I kept looking behind me because I knew I was going to fall off the stage,” he said. But once the game started, Popovich thought it all seemed normal.

To win a chunk of the Google business, Goldman, the nation’s premier investment bank, unleashed its CEO, Hank Paulson, to pull some strings. Paulson is one of Wall Street’s best “call men,” who can brandish a Palm PDA full of connections when it’s crunch time to bring home a deal. But NEWSWEEK has learned that Paulson tried to sidestep Google’s orders by reaching out to one of Google’s largest investors, Kleiner Perkins, the powerful venture-capital firm that was an early Google backer....

The financial-services giants have long been among the nation’s most skillful and pervasive advertisers, but the economic slowdown has left the multitrillion-dollar industry in a bind. After years of easy profits for themselves and their customers, the nation’s big brokerages, which spent $2.9 billion on advertising in the first six months of 2000, are struggling to reinvent their marketing strategies. Gone are the days of the memorable 1999 Discover brokerage ad that featured a scruffy tow-truck driver whose day-trading talents earned him enough money to buy his own island....

Taiwan The world’s first information war erupts after Washington ships reconnaissance aircraft cloaked in a new “stealth paint” to Taiwan. Beijing is furious.

Taking place just before the current Warhammer 40K timeline begins, the Horus Heresy is the catalyst for much of the universe’s action, directly explaining the state of the Imperium of Man and the forces of Chaos....

Why has Wi-Fi’s deployment in airports been so slow? Of the top 50 major U.S. airports, less than a dozen have full Wi-Fi connectivity. You can use your laptop to wirelessly link at all three airports in the Bay Area–but none around D.C. And the networks that do exist are administered by a variety of companies, so a subscriber paying a monthly fee for T-Mobile’s Wi-Fi service who departs from SFO might have trouble logging onto AT&T’s network when he lands in Denver....

Who needs virtual reality when we already have Orlando? From Disney and Universal down to Shamu’s Happy Harbor and Water Mania, central Florida’s theme parks and attractions sold an estimated 45 million tickets last year, enough to thrill all of New York and Los Angeles four times over.
