...wasn't exactly the G-8. Still, when Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev hosted a summit of heads of neighboring Central Asian states in his capital of Astana earlier this month, there was a certain whiff of power being flexed, albeit arriviste power. The occasion was marked by the inauguration of the Palace of Peace and Accord - a 62-m-high pyramid of steel and pale gray granite, designed [an error occurred while processing this directive] by Norman Foster, with stained-glass panels by the artist Brian Clarke.

Still, scientists hope that these challenges can be solved with new—albeit potentially expensive—technologies...
They meet cute, albeit somewhat bloodily. Bucky (Josh Hartnett) is the baby-faced innocent. Lee (Aaron Eckhart) is the hard case. They're both cops and they're both boxers.

Their relationship is sealed (and ultimately undone) by their assignment to the eponymous Black Dahlia case...
...with former University President Lawrence H. Summers. Apart from that, Shleifer is a heavyweight in the world of behavioral finance and much of said portion of the class can be traced directly back to his research. While Laibson’s half of the course is arguably a longer, albeit, more in depth, version of his Ec 10 lecture, its real value emerges in the question and answer sessions. These can often last as long as half of the class time and Laibson does an impressive job of intelligently and intuitively answering every question while maintaining the attention of students...
