• Halle Berry on home, work and the public glare
She has graced the covers of Vogue, Vanity Fair, InStyle and dozens of other high-end magazines. She already has won an Oscar, an Emmy and a Golden Globe. She doles out fashion and beauty tips, travels the world and has walked more red carpets than Marilyn Monroe. So what does Halle Berry want to know about her old hometown? "Is Randall Park Mall still there?" Oh, Halle. Dear, sweet Halle. It pained me deeply to have to inform her that the once-proud shopping center of her youth was now a ghastly ghost town, a ruinous relic of suburban sprawl meets commercial cement, weeds growing strong in its vast, pot-holed parking lots. "That makes me sooo sad," said Berry. "When I was growing up that was, like, the place to go for, you know, cruising the mall." Berry was chatting on the phone during a harried press blitz for her new thriller "Perfect Stranger," which opens Friday.
Cheap property and loyal customers attract investors, seven more ...
Investors who have trouble finding property in Istanbul have directed their steps towards Ankara to build shopping malls. The capital city will be leader in square meter per thousand people' once the seven new shopping malls are completed. Ankara is becoming the new attraction for shopping malls. The city will have 24 shopping malls once current construction is completed and though Ankara is behind Istanbul in number of malls built, it will hold the lead in square meter per thousand.' One reason for German and Holland based companies' choice of Ankara is the relative ease of finding cheaper properties when compared to Istanbul. Steady spending patterns of consumers in Ankara, even in recession periods, also create an attraction for investors. With such speed of opening malls in Ankara, the prediction is that these advantages cannot sustain themselves for long and that the saturation point will be reached within two years.
Chlorine Gas Attacks: Paradigm in Unconventional Terror
Last Friday's triple chlorine-gas suicide attacks that hit Fallujah, Ramadi and Amiria, almost simultaneously, sent shockwaves all over Iraq, raising the specter of further widespread use of chemical weapons by terrorist groups in Iraq and the entire region. The brutal attack by suspected al Qaeda suicide bombers also sent a chilling message to Sunni tribal leaders who have rebuffed the Islamic terrorists. By blowing up three consecutive following trucks loaded with chlorine-laden explosives in three of al Qaeda's notorious hotbeds in the western Iraqi Anbar province: Falluja, Amiria and Ramadi, the terrorists signaled their determination to bring their Jihad onto new terrifying horizons. In all three attacks, eight people died and over 500 suffered severe toxic casualties. The attacks were coordinated, so that all three happened within half an hour, causing chaos among rescue services, coping with chemical injuries.
