...local Inuit language). Fishapod dates from about 383 million years ago. It had the scales, teeth and gills of a fish, but also a big, curved rib cage that suggests the creature had lungs as well. The ribs interlock, moreover, unlike a fish's, implying they were able to bear fishapod's weight-an unnecessary trait in a fish. It had a neck-most unfishlike. And, most surprising of all, its pectoral fins included bones that look like nothing less than a primitive wrist and fingers...
Public schools bear the brunt. Children of undocumented immigrants tend to need English-as-a-second-language classes, and their parents typically don't pay enough in taxes to cover schooling. Hospitals write off the cost of medical services for undocumented immigrants. The bigger picture is more muddled. Economists at Rand have found wide variances in analyses of the costs to taxpayers of providing services to immigrants, from a "surplus" of $1,400 per immigrant to a "deficit" of $1,600. The majority of immigrants, in fact, pay taxes, even the undocumented (via fake Social Security and taxpayer IDs). Through...

Zagat doesn't credit Batali entirely for that improvement--in fact a much earlier pioneer was Lidia Bastianich, who was cooking in the authentic Italian vernacular at her New York City restaurants when Batali was rinsing beer glasses in college. But Zagat says Batali's visibility on the Food...
...since the battle of Fallujah in 2004, with both exchanging expertise and manpower. "We have nothing against Shi'ites ... our dead are buried with theirs, as theirs are buried with ours in Fallujah," says insurgent commander Abu Saif. It's a sentiment echoed by the Sadrist leaders, who bear scars from dueling with the U.S. "We have many relationships binding us together," says Abu Zainab...
