...early returns look good. On the morning after Barack Obama's dramatic bid to push the most ambitious undertaking of his presidency toward a goal line that is in sight and yet still out of reach, the instant polls suggested he had indeed made some headway. In a national survey by CNN, 2 out of 3 of those watching said they might favor his health-care proposal, which was a 14-point jump from before the President gave the address on Sept. 9 to a packed House chamber. But as Bill Clinton - or his wife, the Secretary of State...
...disease surveillance - ordinary people aren't trained epidemiologists. Global health officials already struggle to separate the noise from the truth; for every actual outbreak of a new disease, there are countless false or overstated reports. But in an interconnected age, when both information and disease can spread in an instant, having an imperfect network is better than none at all. "This is an alert tool that is not trying to raise fear but awareness instead," says Brownstein. "We want to encourage good public-health information, and at the end of the day that's what this app is about." Knowing...
Harry Markopolos was among those who made repeated complaints to the SEC raising detailed red flags about Madoff's operations.

(See pictures of the demise of Bernard Madoff...
...thrives in the high hill country outside Sana'a, where nearly every patch of irrigated land is covered in khat. Unlike coffee, which Yemenis claim was first cultivated here, khat is easy to grow and harvest. And though cultivating and dealing the leaf doesn't generate the kind of instant wealth associated with growing poppies in Afghanistan or coca in Colombia, it certainly provides a steadier income than growing vegetables does - that's why nearly all of the country's arable land is devoted to khat. And khat needs a lot of water, which is scarce in Yemen...
...Pupils work like commis chefs, learning how to brunoise-cut courgettes into perfect tiny cubes to maximize flavor. They make a stock with pea pods (which pureed and served with ricotta makes an instant summer soup). There's detailed instruction on using up leftovers (sea-bass trimmings are transformed into a tartare with lime, coconut milk and chili) and on how to finish an emulsion sauce without it curdling (it involves using cream whipped over ice). Students then get to sit and eat the spoils of their labor. (Watch TIME's video "Bocuse d'Or: Americans in a French Food...
