Brad Humphreys, professor of the Economics of Gaming at the University of Alberta, keeps count on Olympic budgets. His tally is a tale of excess: Athens budgeted $1.6 billion for the 2004 Games but wound up spending $16 billion. Four years later, Beijing budgeted the same amount, $1.6 billion, for the 2008 Summer Games yet spent an enormous $40 billion.

Still, having developed whatever nuclear capability it may possess precisely in order to give itself a strategic trump card free of dependence on allies, Israel will...
...Certainly, H1N1 is a serious risk—this is not to discount it as a threat. Those with pre-existing medical conditions are at a higher risk of danger than the average population, and unfortunately several students nationwide have died of complications. Advisory campaigns to supposedly minimize our risk, however, are ineffective. It’s common sense and the responsible self-reporting of symptoms that will protect us—not refusing to shake hands with people juggling clean plates...
