Mud Day attracts thousands to play dirty
WESTLAND, Mich. - Made in the shade? It was more like made in the mud for hundreds of people at a Michigan park. Scores of children - and some parents - participated in the 31st annual Wayne County Mud Day on Wednesday at Nankin Mills Park in Westland, west of Detroit. They sloshed and slid around in a shallow "pool" of mud and engaged in various races and a limbo line. In keeping with tradition, there was something royal amid the soil: 3-year-old Charles Daviskiba and 4-year-old Molly Kofahl were crowned Mud Day King and Queen. After the festivities, a local fire department rig sprayed water to rinse the mud-caked masses. - AP

RIP: World's Ugliest Dog dead at age 9
WASHINGTON - Zsa Zsa's 15 minutes in the limelight are over: The copiously drooling English bulldog named the World's Ugliest Dog just weeks ago has died. The nine-year-old canine died in her sleep Wednesday morning, owner Megan Brainard of Anoka, Minnesota told US media. "I'm in shock still," Brainard told CNN sister network HLN. "I haven't even processed her winning and fame." The dog won the ugliness title at a contest last month in Petaluma, California. Brainard told CNN then that the dog slobbered a lot because it had trouble keeping its tongue in its mouth. Its upper teeth were almost horizontal and it also had a pronounced underbite. - AFP

ISTANBUL - It's an early summer evening at Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, the maze-like warren of alleyways crammed with shops that has been the city's trading hub for over half a millennium.But this time, there are no traders' voices beckoning to travelers to come and haggle over the price of a carpet. Nor is the air filled with the pungent whiff of oriental spices being offered to passers-by.As the evening light streams through the upper arch windows, it is music that resonates through the bazaar; oriental wind instruments like the Turkish ney and Armenian duduk, the lute-like oud and the Balkan accordion.For the first time in its history as an epicenter of trade and commerce in Istanbul, the bazaar is being used for a concert in the prestigious annual summer Istanbul Music...
