...which replacement parts can be inserted. 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...
Palin would not acknowledge a need for "education" prior to ascending to the second highest office in the land.

Meanwhile, the country's growth is threatened by a global slowdown and slipped into negative territory from April to June 2008. At a press conference on Friday, Aso said that he's proud of the fact that the Japanese economy is relatively sound and that Japan didn't participate in the "money game" that led to the troubles now faced...
