...communicate via their bosses, who meet for weekly "information boards" to exchange notes. "It's a mess," says Wilfried Albishausen, a criminal investigator in the state of North-Rhine Westphalia. As officers of the Federation of German Criminologists (BDK) trade union, Jansen and Albishausen have been petitioning the Interior Ministry for more than two years to revamp the security apparatus. Even before Sept. 11, the BDK recommended moving federal agents out of their centralized HQs and into regional offices, where they would work with local agents. The idea seems to have struck a faint chord. "We do have scattered islands...
...lady friend so that his roommate can run naked to the bathroom without offending her.” During the relatively tame question-and-answer session, one brave soul asked the question on everyone’s mind: Just what are those holes riddling Mather’s interior walls?

The idea of touching animals with big teeth freaks me out, so I retreated to the relative calm of the indoor aquarium. But the interior was no more soothing. Just as I was stifling a yawn over the sea anemones and tropical fish, I turned a corner and saw a monster: a takaashigani, or long-legged crab. Make that a very long-legged crab, for the legs can grow to more than three meters. There...
...landmarks as London's Sanderson and St. Martin's Lane. Now that concept is celebrated in an exhibition, "New Hotels for Global Nomads," at New York's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. Curator Donald Albrecht says it aims to explore the hotel, not just for cutting-edge architecture and interior design, but as a source of mystery and refuge in the urban wilderness. Look out for digital renderings of Jean Nouvel's Hotel Broadway in New York, and of Dubai's Burj al-Arab, the world's tallest hotel. - L.G Treasure Trove An ethereal glow emanates from a jeweled menagerie...
