Long frowned-o- n start to get hip : tips in China BEIJING In the old China, everyone was taught they were working for the glory of the state. In the new China, the glory has gotten a little more calculating - say, 10 percent of the bill Tipping, long frowned upon in this still officially communist country, may be going mainstream. This month, one of China's leading travel agencies will begin offering three VIP tour packages during which customers will be encouraged to tip the guides. The pilot program has touched a nerve among a gratuity-shsociety even as it underscores China's continuing shift to a market-driveeconomy.

Egypt A pair of French Egyptologists who suspect they have found a previ-ousl- y unknown chamber in the Great Pyramid urged Egypt's antiquities chief to letting them test their theory by drilling new holes in the structure. 4,600-year-o- ld Dormion, who has studied pyramid construction for more than 20 years, are expected to raise their views during the ninth International Congress of Egyptologists in Grenoble, France, which starts Monday. They also published a book about their theory this week. Standing in their way is Zahi Hawass, the director of Egypt's Supreme Council of , Antiquities, who heatedly rejected the theories during a Cairo press conference this week, "There are 300 theories concerning hidden rooms and other things inside the pyramid but if I let them all test their theories they will do untold damage to the pyramid which was built with the blood of Egyptians," said Hawass. "I will not let Egyptian blood be damaged by amateurs." He said earlier requests from the same pair were turned down in 1999 and 2003. In their book, "The Room of Cheops," Dormion and Verdhurt write that 1988 study of an area below the queen's burial chamber in the pyramid found what appeared to be an lin-foo- t "structure," according to the French magazine Science and Future. Lebanon amends constitution BEIRUT, Lebanon Lebanese lawmakers amended their constitution to keep President Emile Lahoud in office, boldly reaffirming their loyalty to Damascus and defying a UN. resolution calling for presidential elections. A day earlier, the United States and France succeeded in pushing a resolution through a divided UN. Security council resolution calling on the Lebanese Parliament to not skip a presidential election and to pressure Syria to loosen its grip on Lebanese politics. Although the U.N. resolution has no enforcement clause, the parliamentary action viewed here as a challenge to Washington, the driving force behind the resolution could also put Lebanon on a collision course with the Security Councfl. In a show of hands, 96 legislators supported the constitutional amendment needed to allow Lahoud whose term expires Nov, 24, to stay in power until 2007.
