...p.k.k. denies involvement in the bombings at the seaside towns of Antalya and Marmaris. Another Kurdish group, the Kurdistan Freedom Hawks (t.a.k.), has claimed responsibility. Considered a p.k.k. offshoot, the t.a.k. boasted in a written statement that "we have promised to turn monstrous Turkey into hell," with "more actions, bigger blows." Aydar told Time last week that the p.k.k. and t.a.k. differ in their underlying philosophies and do not collaborate on operations: "We are not responsible for what they do."

My freshman year in Greenough, I lived in a corner double with five windows; it was bigger than any room I will have for the next three years...
...experts have been trying to fix. An FAA test project to make runway markings more visible that was begun at T. F. Green Airport in Providence, R.I., last year was so successful at reducing incursions that the agency is taking the program nationwide. The project made a new brighter, bigger centerline and increased the width of the yellow bars from 6 to 12 lines on a black background to increase the contrast on the "hold short" markings (where planes stop before entering the runway). The FAA has ordered that the same changes will be required at the nation's biggest...
