After a spat over gas provision between Russia and Ukraine temporarily upset Europe's gas supplies earlier this year, guaranteeing the availability and regularity of Europe's supplies became a priority. So for a firm like E.ON, already committed to keeping a lid on its reliance on Russian gas, teaming up with Endesa - which, analysts say, will gradually buy more gas as new gas-fired power plants are built in Spain - would offer its customers something to cheer. "The consumer benefits when the security of supply is increased," points out Nils Machemehl, energy...

It's a discovery wonderfully echoed in the show: to approach the retrospective you must first walk through the Kent Collection as the 19-year-old would have done, and if you look around...
When Jill Carroll, 28, a Baghdad-based freelancer for the Christian Science Monitor was kidnapped on Saturday, the tightly knit community of reporters in the Iraqi capital knew of the abduction within hours. But in an almost unprecedented move, media organizations in Baghdad- Arabic and English alike-kept a lid on the news in hopes that a media blackout would give negotiators and rescuers time to win her release.
