(CNN)Wait! Were these really the Golden Globes that we watched on Sunday night? Couldn't have been. Where was the rampaging snark or the woozyboozy stage patter we've hated to love -- or vice versa -- year after year? It was a Globes ceremony on its best grown-up behavior. The outside world was more present than usual at this year's show, with a few shout-outs of freedom-of-speech solidarity with the victims of last week's deadly Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack in Paris. The topical jokes from co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler -- including a couple of pointed (and not too shabby) impressions of a lascivious Bill Cosby -- landed deftly enough, though the running gag featuring Margaret Cho as a grim-faced North Korean representative of the Hollywood press may have gone on slightly longer than it needed.

Heaps of trash pile up for miles in Kibera, a district of Nairobi that houses nearly 1 million people and is one of the poorest slums in the world. Aluminum shanties fill the horizon, and an odor of urine cuts through the air. A man trots through the narrow, unpaved streets on a camel. If you make your way through this crowded maze, however, you will find the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy, a free public school for girls and, recently, a few boys. Peek in through the windows, and you'll see a sight that seems incongruous next to the grimy chaos outside. @highlight A nonprofit called Worldreader brings e-readers to students in poor countries @highlight The devices are lightweight and allow students to access hundreds of books @highlight A Kenya school says the e-readers have helped improve reading comprehension @highlight Worldreader president: "Books and education are really the way out" of poverty

damning allegations, the hooker @placeholder has told police how she had
By Ian Sparks Last updated at 12:07 AM on 18th November 2011 Allegations: The prostitute's revelations are the latest in a tide of sleazy accusations to surround Strauss-Kahn A prostitute told how Dominique Strauss-Kahn joined her at 11 orgies over six years, it was revealed in France today. The 30-year-old vice girl named Florence described in lurid detail how the disgraced economist enjoyed having sex with 'every girl in the room' during the debauched sessions. She said the 62-year-old had 'exceptional energy', and always preferred the newcomers to the older women at the sex parties. Florence is one of three hookers being quizzed by French police over an illegal prostitution racket operating out of hotels in Lille, northern France. @highlight Disgraced economist allegedly enjoyed having sex with 'every girl in the room' @highlight The 30-year-old vice girl is one of three being questioned over illegal prostitution operating out of hotels in France @highlight Strauss-Kahn preferred newcomers to older women at the sex parties, says prostitute

And @placeholder investors seeking similar investment success like Liu are feeding the bitcoin frenzy.
Beijing, China (CNN) -- When 23-year-old magazine editor Liu Xinda looked to make his first investment in 2012, he considered the stock market. Many Chinese investors have jumped on the skyrocketing property market, but it was too rich for Liu's blood. Instead he decided to invest in bitcoin. "I believed in bitcoin as a more secure way to store the value than renminbi," Liu said, referring to China's currency. "I trusted in its mechanisms." Liu's trust paid off -- he purchased bitcoin when it was trading at 60 yuan (U.S.$9.85) on the Chinese market and sold when it was trading at 700 yuan ($115) in June. Last week, bitcoin was trading at 7,000 yuan ($1,149). @highlight NEW: Chinese authorities crack down on bitcoin @highlight Analysts: Bitcoin value is being fueled by voracious Chinese investors @highlight A third of world's transactions now flow through China's largest bitcoin trading website

@placeholder may yet survive but, even if the worst happens, then Mr Ryan should not worry.
By Patrick Collins Sam Allardyce lingered by the touchline, his hand theatrically cupped to his ear as the boos and jeers came tumbling from the main stand at Upton Park. He attempted a mocking smile but he could not disguise his confusion. It was a curiously compelling image. A few moments earlier, West Ham had completed a fortuitous win over a Hull City side which had played for more than an hour with 10 men. But a win is a win, three points are three points. As the perplexed manager put it: ‘I’ve never been in a place where we have won and got booed. I couldn’t believe it.’ @highlight Disgruntled West Ham fans will not affect Sam Allardyce @highlight Regrettably, neither the R&A nor its chief executive are quite ready to embrace the 21st century @highlight Worcester coach Dean Ryan is the pinnacle of positivity

(Entertainment Weekly) -- J.J. Abrams' franchise reboot boldly went where no Star Trek movie has gone before, grossing a stellar $72.5 million from Friday through Sunday, according to early estimates by Hollywood.com Box Office. In the film, Spock (Zachary Quinto, left) and Kirk get off on the wrong foot. That's the second-best opening of 2009 (after X-Men Origins: Wolverine's $85.1 million last weekend), and it includes a whopping $8.2 million earned in IMAX showings, a new one-weekend record for the large format (beating The Dark Knight's $6.3 million). What's more, if you add in the $4 million that the movie starring Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto earned in late-Thursday showings, Star Trek has banked an impressive $76.5 million so far -- well ahead of most expectations. @highlight J.J.
