Israel’s leadership has heeded the Bush administration’s requests to sit out the fight and avoid damaging the fragile U.S.-led coalition.

Her remarks couldn’t have made Kmart execs feel very cozy. The company’s strategy to take on Wal-Mart by cutting prices was a “mistake,’’ she told NEWSWEEK.

Today, we take a look back at last week’s tech show and assess what went well (not much) and what went badly (a lot). It’s Just Not Vegas… Before we begin, let us offer some balance. CES is all about the bustling show floor, the networking, the behind-the-scenes coverage on social media, the one-on-one interviews with industry specialists, the free food and drink, and the glitzy Vegas nightlife. A virtual CES was never going to be able to recreate that experience, and it was unreasonable to expect it to....

“I am extremely proud,” Talbot said of Kelly’s ability to rally citizens from Edmonton to help those in need in another country, some 2,200 miles away. It all started with a few simple tweets. Kelly, who is originally from the Dallas-Fort Worth area in Texas, asked for advice on how she could collect and send donations to help those affected by the flooding in Houston.

While those posting the negative reviews hope that the pressure will be enough for 2K Games to reverse its exclusivity deal, some are wondering whether it could have the adverse effect. On Twitter, games journalist Imran Khan asked if Steam users realized that review bombing the Borderlands series on “ideological grounds” would make the Epic Games Store a more appealing prospect for developers. As of the time of writing, the Epic Games Store does not offer a user review feature, meaning that prospective buyers have to look elsewhere for an opinion on the game....

The halflings were an integral part of The Hobbit and its follow-up, but during the Second Age of Middle-earth it was elves and men who played a more prominent role.
