East Timor's Ramos-Horta wounded
East Timor television reported that Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao's home also came under fire, but that no one was hurt. Ramos-Horta was being operated on at an Australian army hospital in the capital, presidential adviser Agusto Zunior told The Associated Press. It was unclear whether his injury was life-threatening. One of Ramos-Horta's guards was killed in the attack, army spokesman Maj. Domingos da Camara said. Two cars passed Ramos-Horta's house on the outskirts of the capital, Dili, at around 7 a.m. local time and began shooting, da Camara said. A rebel soldier wanted on murder charges for a flare-up of violence in 2006 was killed in a shootout with guards, he said. Alfredo Reinado was due to go on trial in absentia for his alleged role in several deadly shootings between the rebel army troops and police units in April and May of 2006.

A new magazine is devoted to cosmetic surgery. NewBeauty promises "the latest advances in plastic surgery, dermatology and cosmetic dentistry," plus "profiles of leading plastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and cosmetic dentists." The editorial director promises "the ultimate guide to breast enhancement" and "everything you need to know about lasers and injectables." Critique: Great, more self-hatred of the natural human form. Defense: Your lips say no, but your eyes say yes. Congress is moving to restrict cold medicine because an ingredient can be used to make methamphetamine. Ten Democratic and seven Republican senators have signed on to S. 103, the Combat Meth Act. Summary by sponsor Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.): "The most effective thing we can do to make meth harder to manufacture is to put cold medicine behind the counter at pharmacies and require purchasers to sign for it and show photo ID." Implication: The line between licit and illicit drugs is blurring.
