Though Brazil expects 5% economic growth this year, many are asking whether it's because of Lula or despite his failure to tackle an array of problems. Aside from Brazil's reputation for epic corruption, gaping inequality and baroque bureaucracy--it takes 152 days to start a business there, according to a KPMG consulting study, compared with 32 in Argentina--there are more pressing issues of an overvalued real, high taxation, weak infrastructure and especially pension reform. Incredibly, Brazilian pensioners receive more money as a share of GDP than the rest of the population of 188 million, sucking investment from...
This telltale flicker is easy to spot even from a small, ground-based telescope. So Charbonneau is setting up an array of eight 16-in. (40 cm) telescopes on Mount Hopkins, near Tucson, Ariz., and pointing them over and over at the 100 closest M-dwarfs to see if their light dims in a repeating pattern. If it does, he won't have long to wait: a habitable M-dwarf planet would have a "year" only three or four days long, so transits would happen all the time. Things will get even easier in 2009, when NASA launches a satellite...

Charbonneau said yesterday that he is currently focused on the MEarth Project, which involves building an array of ground-based telescopes to detect potentially habitable planets. These telescopes will focus on rocky planets orbiting nearby low-mass stars that are cooler and dimmer than the Sun. The first few telescopes have already been built in Southern Arizona...
...percent for the game, including only 6-of-24 three-point makes.“We like to play in the open court because we have big [men] that can run and we have guards that can run,” Lin said. Local boy Lin showed his full array of skills in the victory. He knocked down a pair of treys, finished nifty lay-ins at the rim, distributed the ball, and played swarming defense. His five assists and four steals were also career highs. Lin’s former coach at Palo Alto High School, Peter Diepenbrock, remembers...
