...Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann must be felicitated by mankind for their attempt to create cold fusion - to reproduce the energy of the Sun. They may have been unsuccessful and eventually faded into obscurity, but their contribution in the field of cold fusion will always enlighten researchers. It is encouraging to read that some dedicated researchers are busy in the field despite the so-called evidence, to date, that their efforts are just a beautiful idea. Mankind must pray for their success. Balram Mishra, Ghaziabad, India...

And then there is the problem of Transnistria, a tiny Russian-speaking province backed by Moscow that wants to secede. "At least we have a year...
...Well, cold cash money doesn't seem to be doing the trick too well either. On Tuesday, July 28, executives from firms such as Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo were invited to a meeting at the Treasury Department for a little pep talk about increasing the number of loan modifications. Officials at Treasury, along with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD; co-host of the head-knocking session), have been underwhelmed by the rewrites. The government's original goal was to get more-affordable monthly payments to 3 million to 4 million borrowers. As of mid-July...
