...Italy wasn't the only quarter final contestant to try to destroy its opponent's tactical advantage, merely the only unsuccessful one. Russia, Germany and, again in spectacular fashion, Turkey, provided delicious upsets of Holland (1-3 after extra time), Portugal (2-3) and Croatia (1-1 after extra time, 3-1 on penalties) to disrupt a tournament that had already been set alight by Turkey's last gasp heroics against Switzerland and the Czech Republic...

...work, the Copenhagen Consensus poses a useful question: what if instead of trying to tackle the world's myriad problems in a piecemeal fashion, we focused our efforts tightly on where we could get the most value for our dollar?

...keep the 19-year-old star of the movie Hairspray out of the fan magazines and off the posters decorating grade-schoolers' bedroom walls. But that time may at last be ending.

...similar refocusing on fitness over fashion pages can pay other dividends for kids. Difficult as it is to hear that your child is overweight, placing a child on an enforced diet may do more long-term harm than good.
