...level the Bush Administration's decision to step up attacks in Pakistan is fatally reckless, because the cross-border operations' chances of capturing or killing al Qaeda's leadership are slim. American intelligence isn't good enough for precision raids like this. Pakistan's tribal regions are a black hole that even Pakistani operatives can't enter and come back alive. Overhead surveillance and intercepts do little good in tracking down people in a backward, rural part of the world like this...
...potential losses from their exposure aren't expected to have a significant impact on Japan's banking system. In fact, the problems on Wall Street are actually benefiting some Asian financial institutions. Large Japanese banks, including Mitsubishi UFJ, have been striving to expand their international presence, filling a hole left by retrenching American and European banks...
...going to contribute this year,” Rhoads said of Cho’s performance. While her teammates struggled on Saturday, Cho tore up the course with a round of 73. After another solid round yesterday, Cho ended regulation play tied for first. She parred the playoff hole, but her opponent, Katelynn Mannix of Siena College, made birdie to take the individual crown. After her great performance, Cho noted her teammates’ support during the start of her college career. “They followed me in the playoff and were cheering...
Critics of the LHC say the high-energy experiment might create a mini black hole that could expand to dangerous, Earth-eating proportions. On Aug. 26, Otto Rossler, a German chemist at the Eberhard Karis University of Tubingen, filed a lawsuit against CERN with the European Court of Human Rights that argued, with no understatement, that such a scenario would violate the right to life of European citizens and pose a threat to the rule of law. Last March, two American environmentalists filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court in Honolulu seeking to force the U.S. government to withdraw...
Should we be scared? No. In June, CERN published a safety report, reviewed by a group of external scientists, ruling out the possibility of dangerous black holes. It said that even if tiny black holes were to be formed at CERN - a big if - they would evaporate almost instantaneously due to Hawking Radiation, a phenomenon named for the British physicist Stephen Hawking, whose theories show that black holes not only swallow up the light, energy and matter around them, but also leak it all back out at an accelerating pace. According to Hawking, if tiny black holes occurred at CERN...
