Among Londoners, the 443ft wheel has developed a reputation for suddenly appearing in vision from around the city, from points as scattered as Whitehall, the Elephant and Castle, Greenwich Park and the West Way in Kensington. “It just pops up into the horizon when you are not expecting it,” said Heather Burton, who works in the Eye’s press office. “I quite often see it just driving around Dulwich.” Peter Ackroyd, author of London: The Biography, enjoys viewing it from afar. “I like it from a distance where you just see a curve above the rooftops,” he said. “It is universally liked. I hope it remains a permanent landmark

Clad in a stylishly unusual tuxedo and sporting a British medal (which the actor explained was awarded to his grandfather, a photographer in World War II), Crowe was one of the last to arrive at the gala event. He rushed down the red carpet and seemed less than eager to answer questions from the press backstage. Although Crowe said he was genuinely stunned he picked up the statuette, it certainly didn't seem to humble him in the least. He wrapped up his interviews with a wisecrack thanking Christ for creating Australia. (Perhaps the kidnapping wouldn't have been such a bad thing …) Big Diamonds, Little SkinOn the fashion front, styles were elegant, glamorous and far more conservative than in Oscars past. Skin was not in, but big diamonds were. Stunners included Joan Allen in a peach sequined Michael Kors gown designed especially for the

Ally Loses Another BoyfriendEven after Downey's November arrest, the television show appeared committed to working with him. After all, the troubled actor and the show had been good for each other: Downey won a Golden Globe, and the show got a boost in its then-sagging ratings. But producers have apparently had enough. "We are wrapping up the stories on the final few episodes of Ally McBeal for the season without him," producer David E. Kelley said in a statement. Kelley called Downey "a unique talent and a very special person... we wish him the best and hope for his full recovery." It was unclear whether episodes already in the can with Downey would air, and also unclear how — if at all — they would work his character, who had formed a romantic bond with the title character, out of the show. Not Just an Actor — a Singer With 'Soul’

mankind enters the new century, there is a consensus among all the people: It is time for Beijing to host the Olympic Games. It is time for the Olympic torch to light the Great Wall. It is time for nearly 1.3 billion people to have a night-long carnival. Tonight is also a night of celebration for the Olympic cause. Allowing the Olympic torch to light China is the best way to promote the globalization of the Olympic Games. An Olympic Games in the world's fastest-growing economy will create tremendous business opportunities, and will offer a rare chance for the IOC to strengthen its financial resources and to boost the world economy. And of course, no one can deny that when people from all parts of the world gather in Beijing, the interchange between the Chinese and Western cultures will be unprecedented in the history of human civilization. When the Olympics embraces Beijing, both are winners. China will prove to the world the decision by the IOC at

For now, the company estimates that producing a Power Paper battery costs around 15 cents per square inch. But Levanon says that costs could come down as larger, more established printing and publishing companies begin to implement the technology.In the meantime, Power Paper is using its own subsidiary in Hong Kong called Thinergy Ltd., to provide some paper-based products using the company's thin battery design. For example, Levanon says that by the beginning of next year, it wouldn't be surprising to see musical greeting cards powered by a Thinergy-produced battery. Astronomers are predicting this year's Leonid meteor shower could be the best in decades and the best for years to come. Even city dwellers who wake before dawn and find a swathe of sky away from city lights could catch the show, since the shooting stars are expected to be so abundant.

It began with a meeting in a bar during the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Four years later, an Australian law graduate marries Denmark's crown prince in a royal wedding. A prince-and-commoner wedding is nothing new in this nation of 5.4 million. But if the commoner is also a foreigner, a crash course in Danish ways is expected. Crown Prince Frederik and his 32-year-old bride, Mary Donaldson, were set to exchange vows at Copenhagen's Our Lady Lutheran Cathedral before 800 guests, including European and Asian royals, Danish and Australian dignitaries and close friends.

The family of a baby boy formally named China's 1.3 billionth citizen has turned down advertising deals from many companies making everything from diapers to infant formula.Many companies had contacted Zhang Yichi's parents, hoping the boy would act as an "image representative" for their products."It's lucky to be China's 1.3 billionth citizen," the baby's father, Zhang Tong, was quoted as saying. "But it's unnecessary to act as an image representative for so many products, since Zhang Yichi is too young and too many commercial activities will have negative impact on the boy's healthy growth."
