Europe's single, standardized GSM network, as opposed to the multi networks - GSM, CDMA and iDEN found in the U.S. - gave European forensics investigators an edge as they began to develop ways of accessing a phone's internal memory. Two of the leading cell phone forensics experts are British - West Yorkshire Detective Constables Steve Hirst and Steve Miller. Like their American colleagues - "tinkerers" as Mislan calls them - the two spend their evenings buying up old cell phones on eBay, deconstructing and decoding them, and then sharing their research online with colleagues around the world...
...satellite technology has already proven successful overseas and in the U.S. The European Union has upgraded to satellite technology in its air traffic control systems. Package delivery company UPS uses the technology in many of its planes and at its hub in Louisville, Ken. The FAA has also been testing it since the late 1990s in Alaska, which had a high accident rate because of the rough terrain in the state. Since the satellite technology was installed on small planes in Alaska, its accident rate there has declined 40%, says Blakey...

European countries all but phased out monetized food aid in the 1990s and the world's largest food aid distributor-the U.N.'s World Food Program-does not allow any of its grain to be sold by NGOs...
...like a frazzled mother jamming a pacifier into a wailing infant's mouth - rushed in to try to calm the incipient panic, shoving $300 billion of fresh cash into the credit markets to make sure they didn't seize up entirely. (The Bank of Japan and the eurozone's European Central Bank both pumped in additional funds on Monday.) For the moment, the moves had their intended effects: following minimal losses in New York on Friday, Asian and European bourses on Monday traded mostly higher. Knowing now that central banks are willing to step in suggests "there should be less...
...statements by Bush and Sarkozy show that their meeting "was much ado about nothing". Despite the warm glow produced by a friendly cookout, Moïsi says the encounter won't have changed the differences between the two sides on such key issues as Iran, Iraq, Turkish membership to the European Union, global warming, or regulation of the economy. Sarkozy may be talking the talk more like Tony Blair, but when it comes to walking the walk, he'll look a lot more like Chirac...
