...round, happy face, full cheeks, short, curly hair and good, straight teeth. She wore silver bangles, which jingled as she and Joseph walked together around the road that marked the perimeter of the camp, talking about home, about the avocado and eucalyptus trees, the rolling, verdant hills and the cooler air of Kibungo. Nereciana had sharp, slightly downcast, eager, probing eyes. When she spoke, Joseph detected a confidence in her tone; she knew what she was saying when she told of her desire to have a family. And when she talked about God, Joseph became very quiet...
When objects grow cooler, what is actually, if invisibly, happening is that their atoms are moving slower. At a certain point--about -460[degrees]F--the motion of all matter would stop. Such utter atomic stillness is not possible, since the colder atoms become, the more they draw warmth from anything in the vicinity--often from one another. In 1995, however, a team led by physicists Carl Wieman and Eric Cornell of the University of Colorado at Boulder used lasers and evaporation to achieve something known as a Bose-Einstein condensate, a supercold gas in which atoms overlap and begin...

...change of heart after my wife bought a Nokia and signed up for AT&T's service (which has definitely improved in my home region).

...part in the Diallo shooting. Even if it did not, we are left with four police officers who, despite a combined experience of 28 years and more than 300 arrests, were unable to determine after the first barrage that their suspect had not fired a single shot. If cooler heads had prevailed, wouldn't Diallo still be alive today? As trained professionals, police officers must be able to assess situations, not simply use deadly force against anything threatening. The verdict in the Diallo case at a minimum should have been "guilty of reckless endangerment." Now, anyone could fall victim...
