Stymieing the Web's expansion in Africa until now: the fixed-line telephone networks used to transmit Internet services in much of the rest of the world are almost nonexistent across the continent. On average, there are only four lines for every 100 people - the lowest rate anywhere in the world. That has left much of Africa reliant on satellites for its Web access. But they are costly to use and offer limited capacity. O3b - short for the "other 3 billion" around the world who are unable to tap into the Web - plans to deploy spacecraft...

And there's something both hilarious and chilling about his Lullaby series, steel and mirror-glass medicine cabinets in which colorful pills are meticulously organized into glittering reliquaries...

...tributaries: Lake Pontchartrain, the Intercoastal Water Way, and the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet, commonly known as "Mr. Go."

They found just the opposite: men with the highest intake of nuts had a 20% lower risk of diverticulitis than men with the lowest intake, consuming them less than once a month. There were 133 cases of diverticulitis among the 12,928 men who ate nuts at least two times a week, versus 199 cases among the 11,860 men who ate nuts less than once a month. The same trend held for popcorn intake...
