It will take another month to cool it back down, and given that CERN has pledged not to run its giant machine - which requires as much power as the entire city of Geneva - during winter months when Europe's energy needs are highest, Friday's breakdown could delay the actual smashing of atoms until early next year...

While the delay of the Republican National Convention unveiled a new level of care for the disaster victims, more attention still needs to be paid to these devastating natural events—not only here in the United States, but amongst our Caribbean neighbors as well.

...transcend it. If you were to boil the past two eventful weeks down to their essence, you would have the Democrats wrapping McCain in the dead arms of the Bush presidency, and McCain trying to wriggle free. You'd have Democrats lasering in on the GOP of Rumsfeld, DeLay and Abramoff, and McCain reaching back to remind America of "the party of Lincoln, Roosevelt and Reagan." Give us one more chance, he said, promising to "get back to basics...
