The Route Imperiales no 1
There is a lot of (Roman)history, chateaux, castles, old villages along the road and of course many, many 2 and 3 star Michelin Restaurants ;-))

How Ban Ki-Moon became my hero
Steven Monjeza(26) and Tiwonge Chimbalanga(20) were given 14-year jail after celebrating their engagement late December. The two men were convicted under a law dating back to colonial rule by Britain. Main while Uganda is thinking of strengthen the laws to include the death penalty for gay people... No holiday to Uganda this year...

Great T-Shirt Jake!
The GOP primary in CA: a playground for the wealthy?
With two wealthy Silicon Valley GOP candidates for CA governor — Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner — spending more than $100 million just to win the right to spend tens of millions more in the fall the California primary is getting out of hand. An (even for Republicans) unusual amount of negative political ads accusing candidates of doing everything short of sleeping with a rent boy.
The main theme of Whitman ads is that Poizner is not to be trusted because his political track record reveals that he's a secret liberal.
Meanwhile Poizner is hitting back: His main theme is that Whitman is — you guessed it — a secret liberal...
Maybe we better make this GOP primary an EBAY auction...
Cute new Media iPad aps
The PressReader app (free, paid-for content) offers digital editions of newspapers and magazines from around the world. You can flick through pages, zoom in to read them as they were printed, or bring up easier-on-the-eyes text versions of stories. For now you can even enjoy the content for free!
Zinio (free, paid-for content) similarly displays glossy magazines and has much the same functionality but with a slicker interface; crucially, it turns printed weblinks into interactive ones. A simple kind of app - but they have a very extensive magazine collection and even better: they will make my Zinio back catalog available on the iPad!
I loved the Wired app (£2.99), which adds iPad-only content to the magazine. Funny thing only is that some advertisers don't seem to get it and don't have interactive ads... (By The Way: ads... In a magazine you can easier skip those then on an iPad ;-) )
The Financial Times' app is an excellent way to access (free for now) FT content.
