...Baker-Hamilton study sees unconditional U.S. support for Israel as poisoning the prospects for U.S. progress in the region, because it generates such deep-seated ill will toward America in Arab public opinion that it becomes increasingly difficult for even friendly Arab regimes to lend support to Washington. The 9/11 Commission made a similar point, noting that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a key source of hostility toward the U.S. that is exploited by extremist elements. Still, not much has changed in the Administration's policy positions. And despite the urgent pleas of such key U.S. allies as Jordan...
Although Harvard College’s decision to reimburse student groups for the “gift tax” is a welcome development, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences’ (FAS) refusal to rescind the tax or lend formal support to the College’s reimbursement is deeply troubling. The tax is unfair and, contrary to Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles’ justification for his action, could be easily rolled back.

They are pulling their money from under the floorboards and we are putting it into circulation...
...power your digital camera, your flashlight or your watch. At 1.5 volts they might be sufficiently powerful, but they don't last long enough. Rather, Happonen hopes first to sell large quantities to the makers of rfid (radio frequency identification) tags, which don't draw constant power and lend themselves to the battery's thinness. rfid tags are the tiny chips that are replacing bar codes. They wirelessly transmit information about themselves, making it easier to track, say, what's in stock in a store. Battery-powered rfid tags can transmit farther than non-battery-powered versions and push rfid...
