Enduring Viktor Yushchenko is looking fresh-faced and recovered after the poison scandal that surrounded his gruelling election battle three years ago. The President of Ukraine's face showed an impressive recovery from the disfigurement and scarring caused by dioxin poisoning in 2004. Yuschenko long alleged he was poisoned as part of a plot to kill him.

It is a frosty day in the foothills of the Cote d'Azur Italian French border, though clear and thankfully devoid of the noise of hunter's rifles today.
It truly feels like a day in suspended animation...is it a workday? is it a holiday? A lot of tourists yesterday, and quiet places that usually bristling with people. Since I work for myself from my house, there are too few indicators besides the need to have a lot more projects completed before I travel to Los Angeles in a couple weeks. If it were only as bad as 1984.
A town in the US state of Louisiana is to be allowed to change its telephone prefix so that residents can avoid a number many associate with the Devil. Christian residents of Reeves have been complaining since the early 1960s about being given the prefix, 666 - known in the Bible as the "number of the beast". For the next three months, households will able to change the first three digits of their phone numbers to 749. Mayor Scott Walker said CenturyTel's decision was "divine intervention". However, he admitted it helped that Louisiana's two senators had also lobbied for the change with the phone company and the state Public Service Commission.

Is that the new Eurotrib motto?
As one commenter at HuffPo said;-
It would almost be tolerable if the NYT had made a choice indicating they were making a conservative turn. But to choose this neocon--this imperialist ideologue who has turned out to be wrong on some many matters regarding the Middle East that if he had made his predictions simply by flipping a coin he would have had a better record for accuracy--well, it indicates that the NYT hasn't merely made a bad choice but a dumb, irresponsible and indefensible one as well.
