Lamu, Kenya (CNN) -- In many ways, it seems like time has given Lamu a wide berth. The East African island, perched placidly off Kenya's coast, is home to one of the oldest continuously inhabited Swahili towns -- an ethnic group in East Africa who have lived here for more than 700 years. There are no cars on the island -- the streets are too narrow and winding. Instead, locals rely on donkeys for transport on the land, and dhows to travel throughout the archipelago. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lamu was once the most important international trade center in East Africa -- as is evidenced by the Arab, Indian, Persian and European influences in the local architecture. The most Swahili feature, however, is the use of coral stone, which reigns supreme throughout the island. Not only is coral stone strong, it's a few degrees cooler than cement, making it an ideal building resource in a region known for its sweltering heat. @highlight Lamu is one of the oldest continuously inhabited Swahili towns @highlight There are no cars on the island -- the streets are too narrow and winding @highlight Instead, locals rely on donkeys for transport on the land, and dhows to travel throughout the archipelago

"It's important that, given the fluidness of the situation on the ground, that the Transitional National Council work to ensure that it takes the right kinds of actions, such as an investigation into the death, and sends a clear and transparent message that they speak on behalf of the Libyan opposition and the Libyan people and that they are diligently carrying out their mandate." @highlight NEW: Gadhafi's son: "Whether NATO stays or not, the battle will continue until Libya is freed" @highlight The U.S. prepares to hand over the Libyan embassy in Washington to the rebels @highlight The Transitional National Council has been rocked by internal divisions @highlight Last week the TNC's military commander was mysteriously assassinated

@placeholder comes in fourth with a $5 return for every dollar she was paid.
(EW.com) -- I bet Eddie Murphy would like to trade places with another actor right about now. The "Saturday Night Live" alum tops Forbes' list of the year's most overpaid actors again, followed by newcomer Katherine Heigl and Oscar winners Reese Witherspoon and Sandra Bullock (say it isn't so! ). Murphy's earning power has steadily declined since his string of '80s hits, including "Trading Places" and "Beverly Hills Cop." His voice work in "Shrek" and "Mulan" and family-friendly roles in "Norbit" and "Dr. Dolittle" left him in good standing, but his recent films, "Imagine That," "A Thousand Words," "Meet Dave," and "Tower Heist," flopped at the box office. @highlight Eddie Murphy tops Forbes' list of the year's most overpaid actors again @highlight Murphy's earning power has steadily declined since his string of '80s hits @highlight For every dollar he was paid for his last three films, they returned an average of $2.30 @highlight Katherine Heigl, Reese Witherspoon and Sandra Bullock follow close behind

In October 2012, Roy Bates died at the age of 91, and the Sealand crown passed to his son, Michael, 63, who is still said to live on @placeholder with his family and friends.
By Harriet Arkell Lying six miles off the Suffolk coast, it appears to be an old oil platform to the casual observer. But the Principality of Sealand, as residents call it, claims to be the world’s smallest country, with its own Royal Family, currency, and even postage stamps. The tiny state (though no other country officially recognises it as such) occupies a 5,290sq ft Second World War fort consisting of two concrete towers connected by an iron platform a few miles off Felixstowe, in international waters. But since 1967, Sealand's residents - all 22 of them - have declared themselves independent of Britain. @highlight Tiny state consists of two concrete towers connected by an iron platform @highlight Originally built as WW2 defence, it was claimed as 'principality' in 1967 @highlight No other country recognises it as such, but locals cling to independence @highlight Lying six miles offshore from Felixstowe, state is 'ruled' by Prince Michael, 63 @highlight His father, Roy Bates, claimed platform as his own and crowned himself king @highlight Residents catch their own fish and lobster and produce drinkable water @highlight They make money by selling titles (a Count is £200) and Sealand memorabilia @highlight Tourist trips to the 5,290sq ft fort are being planned for later this summer

Entering Tuesday, @placeholder residents braced for the worst from a storm that has already caused considerable devastation as it headed north from the Caribbean.
(CNN) -- After churning through the Caribbean and chugging up the Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Isaac made landfall over southeastern Louisiana on Tuesday night -- bringing with it sustained winds of 80 mph and torrential, stinging rains. According to the National Hurricane Center, the storm's center moved over land in Plaquemines Parish at 6:45 p.m. (7:45 p.m. ET) -- one day before the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which left nearly 1,800 dead and caused billions of dollars worth of damage along the Gulf Coast. Isaac's eye then "wobbled westward" and moved back over Gulf waters, and by 10 p.m. CT was centered about 75 miles southeast of Houma, Louisiana -- all while keeping its strength as it lashed those onshore. @highlight NEW: Storm surges of over 10 feet are reported in Shell Beach, Louisiana @highlight NEW: Isaac's eye is 75 miles from New Orleans, but the city has been impacted already @highlight Around 220,000 Entergy Louisiana customers don't have power @highlight The storm may get even stronger as it moves inland, the hurricane center says

If @placeholder's enemies think that we are shrinking away from crises, that rhetoric and nonintervention are now our standard operating procedure, that would indeed be worrisome.
North Korea is dangerously close to crossing a line. Not the line that leads to a missile attack on the United States, but the one that separates being a rogue state from being a parody of a rogue state. Pyongyang's bluster is as comical as its nuclear threats are implausible. This does not mean the United States should take the threats lightly. As Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has explained, when a country with a big army and nuclear weapons starts getting reckless, it is irresponsible to dismiss the possibility that it would actually do something insanely self-destructive. But the bigger concern has to do with why North Korea is rattling its saber. The reason may reflect more on the United States than we care to acknowledge. @highlight David Rothkopf: Pyongyang's bluster comical and implausible, but it must be taken seriously @highlight He says enemies may mistakenly believe U.S. caution on intervention means it's "soft" @highlight He says more often than not, U.S. posture is policy, but testing resolve would be error @highlight Rothkopf: Obama has shown that when threat is most urgent he does not hesitate to act

"While the worst of the last few storms is behind us, there still is a significant threat from thundershowers that are forming off the coast," @placeholder said at a news conference Thursday night, warning of the potential for lightning, hail and water spouts.
Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Rain pounded water-logged Los Angeles on Thursday, and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said more than 300 city residents were ordered to evacuate because of the threat of mudslides. "We continue to urge the public who live in these areas to evacuate, to heed the warnings of our police officers and firefighters, our first responders, who are there to protect your public safety," the mayor said. Just over 500 Los Angeles County residents who were advised to flee their homes earlier had done so by Thursday morning, said Capt.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- After declaring last week that he won't publicly discuss his sexual relationships with staffers again, David Letterman continued his mea culpa Monday night -- saying his wife had been "horribly hurt by my behavior."

The casting of @placeholder is all about the cuteness factor.
(CNN) -- A visit to the whirlpool tub cool-down zone signals the endgame for Sunday's Super Bowl competitors. But for the furry beasts of the annual Puppy Bowl, a jump in the water pit means the competition for cuteness has only just begun. Prime time is playtime for the scamps who have provided alternative programming to America's biggest sports viewing experience for nine years. According to Animal Planet, the 12-hour Puppy Bowl marathon drew 8.7 million viewers last year. The broadcast's overload of adorable has included "cheerleaders" of various species; hamsters "flying" in the blimp over the Puppy Bowl stadium; Meep the bird, who, naturally, tweets from the sidelines (he got 21,000 followers on Twitter during last year's Puppy Bowl); and even a hairless Chinese Crested "streaker" puppy. @highlight 12 hours of frolicking puppies is Animal Planet's Super Bowl counter-programming @highlight Slow-mo cute cams and cameras stuck in squeaky toys aim to capture the cute @highlight Instead of rooting for a Puppy Bowl team, viewers can root for an MVP
