New Year's Partiers, Preachers Clash in 'Sin City'
By Steve Friess - AOL NewsLAS VEGAS (Dec. 31) -- The blonde pulled up her shirt to expose her breasts, the male couple French-kissed with reckless abandon and the gang of friends from the University of Vermont posed for pictures holding up yard-long drinks and brandishing obscene hand gestures. All standard fare for New Year's Eve here, to be sure. Yet these revelers did so both with great amusement and plenty of spite, reactions to a far more incongruous sight for the wildest party Sin City throws each year: A row in the middle of Las Vegas Strip of about 30 evangelical preachers waving gigantic placards warning of ...
North Korea Calls for Peace With U.S. in New Year Message
By David Sessions - Politics DailyThe North Korean government called for an end to hostile relations with the United States in its annual New Year message, the Times of London reports. The regime's statement said it was committed to a "peace strategy" for the Korean peninsula and to ending the nuclear threats for which it has become infamous. "The fundamental task for ensuring peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and in the rest of Asia is to put an end to the hostile relationship between North Korea and the U.S.," the statement said. Pyongyang added that it hoped to achieve "a lasting peace system" and to make the ...
Partygoers Celebrate New Year in Times Square
By not in system - AOL NewsNEW YORK (Jan. 1) -- For all those reflecting glumly on the last 10 years of terror attacks, war and recession, Gail Guay has some advice: "Don't look back." The 50-year-old Guay, from Raymond, N.H., was among the hundreds of thousands of revelers who rang in 2010 in a chilly Times Square as the famous Waterford crystal ball dropped at midnight Thursday, marking the end of a difficult decade that many wanted to leave behind. But a sense of starting fresh remained elusive for many, who wondered what sort of legacy would begin on Jan. 1. "Nothing seems to be going well," said John O'Donnell, ...
Revelers Around the World Ring in 2010
By not in system - AOL NewsPARIS (Dec. 31) - Paris jazzed up the Eiffel Tower with a multicolored, disco-style light display as the world basked in New Year's festivities with hopes that 2010 and beyond will bring more peace and prosperity. From fireworks over Sydney's famous bridge to balloons sent aloft in Tokyo, revelers across the globe at least temporarily shelved worries about the future to bid farewell to "The Noughties" - a bitter-tinged nickname for the first decade of the 21st century playing on a term for "zero" and evoking the word naughty. In New York City, hundreds of thousands of revelers gathered in ...
'Blue Moon' to Shine on New Year's Eve Revelers
By not in system - AOL NewsLOS ANGELES (Dec. 29) – Once in a blue moon there is one on New Year's Eve. Revelers ringing in 2010 will be treated to a so-called blue moon. According to popular definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a month. But don't expect it to be blue – the name has nothing to do with the color of our closest celestial neighbor. A full moon occurred on Dec. 2. It will appear again on Thursday in time for the New Year's countdown. "If you're in Times Square, you'll see the full moon right above you. It's going to be that brilliant," said Jack Horkheimer, director emeritus of ...
