 EARLIER this week, the Syrian
government accepted a peace
plan proposed by Kofi Annan,
the former UN secretary general.
Annan's six-point initiative
to resolve the crisis in Syria calls for a
'political process' to address the Syrian

OBAMACARE |
 NOBODY knows what the
Supreme Court will decide
with regard to the Affordable
Care Act. But, after this
week's hearings, it seems quite possible

| | Elopement is the new
marriage market fad |  IT was minutes before the wedding,
and the planner left nothing
to chance. The reception
hall, a plank-floored farmhouse
in the Santa Barbara, California,
wine country, had been decorated in
peonies. The dinner menu, rendered in
calligraphy, promised wild mushroom
tortellini and halibut with verjus. In a
field outside, a photographer and
videographer stood at the ready, near a
ceremonial canopy draped in velvet

 CARRIE Underwood says she´s glad

write, they get songs together, they make an
album, they go on tour. Then they do it all over
again. I just wanted to change things up. I can´t
have stuff to write about if I don´t have a life,"
Underwood said.
The singer says taking that time off allowed
her to ... | | | It´s nappy time for
B-Town moms |  IT´S a role you haven´t seen them in. Away
from the limelight, life is all about changing
diapers and nurturing their little ones for
Bollywood´s glamour girls like Aishwarya
Rai, Lara Dutta and Celina Jaitly who have
just stepped into motherhood.
Celina gave birth to twin boys in Dubai recently,
and the mother and children are doing well
healthwise, according to the actress´ husband,
hotelier Peter Haag. They have named their twins
Winston and Viraaj.
Lara delivered a baby girl in January and she
