The Hongqi HS6 PHEV set a Guinness World Record by traveling 2,327.343 kilometers on a single full charge and fuel tank without refueling, departing from Shangri-La on October 30 and arriving in Guangzhou on November 3.

Hundreds of people, young, old and wearing matching commemorative T-shirts, just finished dancing the "YMCA" on the field at Yogi Berra Stadium at Montclair State University.

Entertainment Her boyfriend placed second in the regular season. Together, the local couple leads the way in a fledging sport. She's one of the best female ninjas in the world. He's one of the best men. When their powers combine, they set world records.

It started as something to pass the time. I remember being 10, in 2001, at my grandmother's house, a 1,000-piece puzzle spread across the table.
