...knows for sure what that spike will look like or how it will compare with the roughly 36,000 Americans who die each year from seasonal flu. But ever since the first case of H1N1 flu was reported in Mexico last March, the Obama Administration has been girding for a difficult fall and winter, which may see millions getting sick, overwhelmed hospitals, rolling closures of schools, disruption of workplaces, canceled public events and a death rate no one can predict. "We just don't know the magnitude of this," says Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who has been working throughout...
...channel SAT 1 for a broadcast that day. Since the reclusive Jackson refused to go out in public in West Berlin, Sat1 reporters decided to hire their own double and see how Berliners reacted. They hired limousines and body guards, fooling the public, local media, and, as we now know, the notorious Stasi secret police.

(The recession didn't help, but sharp declines in driving began well before the bottom dropped out of the economy.) As gas prices have fallen in 2009, however, driving has begun to tick back...
Most Australians know very little about Somalia and even less about the al-Shabaab group that has been fighting for control of the war-torn African nation since 2006. But on Tuesday, Aug. 4, they quickly began to learn the pronunciation of the Somali terrorist group's name. Just before dawn, approximately 400 police from state and federal departments fanned out across Melbourne and its southwest, raiding 19 properties and arresting four men and questioning others. The police claim they had foiled a suicide plot by Al-Shabaab supporters to storm a Sydney military base and kill as many soldiers...
