...Eighteen centimeters shorter and 20 kg lighter and, to state the obvious, Japanese, Notchi is not exactly a dead ringer for his muse. But he does bear a resemblance that is propped up by some signature moves: clenching his hand lightly and holding up his index finger while repeating, "Yes, we can! Change we need!"; stating, "My name is Obama!," while narrowing his eyes slightly and looking into the distance; and walking lightly with one hand in his pocket - a stance that has been praised by the security guards at Obama's Chicago home, who said that's exactly...
...sulfate, or OSCS--that is derived from animal cartilage and used only in dietary supplements, not in medicines. The compound's key advantages: it is, as a Baxter spokeswoman puts it, a "virtual mimic of heparin" in most tests and, according to a congressional investigator, costs only $20 per kg, vs. $2,000 for crude heparin. The suppliers, investigators believe, colluded to substitute OSCS in the crude heparin they passed along for the standard price and pocketed the $1,980 difference for each kilogram they sold...
...shorter-range Iskander is brand-new. Its range is some 175 miles (280 km), and can be increased to reach targets not just in Poland, but in the Czech Republic as well.

Russia will fit its Iskander arsenal with cluster, blast-fragmentation, penetration, and possibly even, thermobaric warheads. A tactical nuclear warhead could also be an option, though Medvedev pointedly refrained from mentioning that...

Despite the bumper opium harvests, the street price of heroin remains a costly $67 per g in European cities, and the price Afghan farmers charge for their opium has remained about $70 per kg (about $33 per lb.). If the entire crop had been sold during the past two years, "the prices should have collapsed," says Costa. "But there has been no price collapse...
...past few years, Pakistan's government and generous foreign donors have spent tens of millions of dollars building roads and widening existing ones across Islamabad. The canyon-like underpasses and grand boulevards are meant to help traffic flow around the capital. But since a truck packed with 600 kg of high-grade explosives rammed into the Marriott hotel on Sept. 20, city officials have scrambled to reverse the plan, hoisting in concrete barriers to slow traffic, setting up police checkpoints, and seriously beefing up the "red-zone" security area around parliament, the prime minister's house, other government buildings...
