...long been a fan of the Sonos music system, a collection of small, cigar-box-sized devices that attach to any stereo in my home and allow me to wirelessly stream digital music. I couple it with the music subscription service, Rhapsody, and get access to some 5 million songs - virtually anything I want to hear, whenever I want to hear...
...facilities are up in the air. New football stadiums will open next season in Dallas and at the Meadowlands in New Jersey, where the New York Giants and Jets play. Will companies pay the same sweet premium they would have, say, a year ago for the right to attach their name to one of these new venues? Very doubtful. AIG, the embattled insurance giant, has sponsored the U.S. Davis Cup team since 1999, an agreement that ends this year: if the company hadn't floundered, odds are it would have renewed the deal.

...judicial system doesn't have a record of delivering justice. This month, for example, marks the 14th anniversary of the murder of Dmitri Kholodov, an investigative journalist killed in his office by a booby-trapped attaché case while he was investigating corruption in the Russian army.

Kholodov's friends and colleagues complain of a gross miscarriage of justice, but nothing has been done. The murder is officially unsolved; the crime is going unpunished...
...kids back, the American Embassy in London is promoting the country's diversity and popular culture as reasons to understand it better.

The embassy has also given Richard Ellis, a professor at the University of Birmingham, a generous grant to produce promotional CDs and a website that asks: "Why Study America?" The site features interviews with people enrolled in American-studies courses (one student says he's developed a "toolbox" to analyze cultural phenomena such...
...solution being floated in the Senate, however, might work precisely because there would be no real winners. The Senate, where the bill has more support among Republicans than in the House, would take the lead and attach the bill to a resolution that continues to fund the federal government through the election. That is a measure members have a hard time voting against, and if the Senate then adjourns, the House would pretty much be forced to swallow the Senate's single bill. House members would then be forced to vote for or against the budget along with the bailout...
