...just for Serbia. When the wars of the Yugoslav succession began in June 1991, Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jacques Poos, with an eye to resolving them, famously declared: "This is the hour of Europe." It wasn't, of course. The brutal force of the combatants, especially those led by Karadzic and Mladic, made a mockery of feckless attempts by Europeans to broker peace. The circumstances of Karadzic's arrest, however tragically late, demonstrate far better the kind of benevolent power the E.U. can exert. Even if formal enlargement of the Union appears blocked for now, Karadzic's detention shows that...
...broadcast quality of cell-phone video on these sites is still imperfect - it's often grainy, occasionally blurry and nearly always a step below video-camera clarity. Sometimes videos freeze and audio is muffled. For those committed to higher-quality images, Eye-Fi sells a wi-fi-enabled SD memory card for digital still cameras that stores your photos and uploads them automatically via a wireless network to your home computer or to the online photo-sharing site of your choice.

...risk also higher during the last part of sleep? Usually, during the night, the cardiovascular system is "sleeping," which is characterized by low blood pressure and heart rate.

Probably each of us can remember waking up in the morning sometimes feeling very tired. That's because during that stage of dreams...
...moment, the Strategic Defense Initiative is a starry vision rather than an actual weapons program. It exists only in the mind's eye of Ronald Reagan and on the blinking computer screens and slide projectors of an array of purposeful scientists. Yet the President's concept of a space-based shield against nuclear weapons-the most radical plan put forward by any Administration since the dawn of the nuclear age-has become the single most powerful force affecting Soviet-American relations. It is also becoming the chief element in an intensifying showdown, within the Administration as well...
