Doctors in Mexico are preparing to take matador Jose Tomas off sedation gradually and he is “totally out of danger,” manager Salvador 박 카라 Boix said. Tomas was gored in the groin Saturday during a bullfight in the Mexican city of Aguascalientes. The bull’s horn severed a vein and an artery and Tomas received a blood transfusion of up to 17 pints (eight liters), Boix said. Mexican television footage showed Tomas working the animal with his cape when the bull makes a quick turn toward the matador and catches him in the groin, lifting him into the air for a few seconds and shaking its head with Tomas dangling from its sharp left horn. The bullfighter’s father, Jose Tomas Roman, said from Mexico that normally he watches his son fight from high up in the stands but this time happened to be at ringside. When Tomas was gored, he said, “the whole ring knew that it was a horrible injury.” “I will never do that again,” he told the radio station, referring to his ringside spot. “I feared for the worst.” Tomas is known for a daring bullfighting style in which he gets particularly close to the bull. His full name is Jose Tomas Roman Martin, but he goes by just Jose Tomas. In Spain, he has been something of an enigma: in 2002, at the peak of his...

(CBS) “Rites of Passage” is the theme for this year’s sold-out Burning Man festival, which began Monday in the Nevada desert. This is the 25th anniversary of Burning Man, a celebration of art, invention and independence. And for the first time, the event, which continues through Saturday, has been sold out. Attendance is limited to 50,000 people a day. In the Black Rock Desert, about 100 miles north of Reno, participants create Black Rock City, a temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance. They depart one week later, having left no trace whatsoever. Food is available to buy, but artists and artisans are encouraged to swap and 안전한 사설 놀이터 barter, not sell, their goods. It began in 1986 when Larry Harvey and Jerry James burned an 8-foot effigy on a California beach in honor of summer solstice. An effigy is burned every year at the end of the event. Four years after the first burning, the festival was moved to the remote Nevada desert where it has been gaining participants ever since. It also has been gaining activities which this year, in addition to the giant art installations, include cooking classes yoga courses and bocce ball tournaments. Smaller,year-round events also are scheduled...

(CBS/AP) With millions of e-reader devices being sold while the Borders chain is going out of business, books arriving this fall face a radically different market from just a year ago. But despite the popularity of e-books, the season’s biggest selling title may be available only the old-fashioned way. “The Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever,” the seventh of Jeff Kinney’s series about the trials of schoolboy Greg Heffley, arrives in November with an announced first printing of over 6 million copies and, so far, there are no plans for an e-book. The print run is greater than the combined totals for two other likely blockbusters: Rick Riordan’s “Heroes of Olympus” (3 million copies) and Christopher Paolini’s “Inheritance” (2.5 million), the fourth and final book of his “Inheritance” fantasy cycle. The “Wimpy Kid” series has more than 45 million copies in print and the new book has already reached the top 20 on Amazon.com. Independent sellers say customers have been pre-ordering “Cabin Fever” for months. “They’re like the ‘Harry Potter’ books in that they appeal to kids who don’t necessarily love reading,” says Peter Glassman, owner of Books of Wonder in New York. “And when you do that, you reach a tremendous audience.” The e-revolution so far has been more for the old than for the young. Officials at “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling’s American publisher, Scholastic Inc.,...
