...laser was invented, Albert Einstein reckoned that excited molecules hit by photons would produce an amplified signal. In 1960 Theodore Maiman built the first working laser (short for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation), a coherent beam of electromagnetic energy produced by light waves traveling the same path. Today the devices are ubiquitous: guiding rockets for the military, cutting steel, unclogging arteries in the O.R.--and playing your favorite Radiohead...
...interesting that we are over in Iraq insisting on a new government free of religious ties, yet we are not doing the same in our own country. Look at history: We are headed down a dangerous path. Moore has violated the laws he promised to enforce and should be punished accordingly, instead of being excused and hailed as a crusader for religious freedom. The absence of the Ten Commandments in the judicial building doesn't impede anyone's right to practice Christianity. It does, however, force Christianity upon those who have not chosen it. And that is the principle upon...
...That leaves Iraqification, the third path, which everyone agrees is absolutely necessary. The Pentagon says it is Iraqifying as fast as it can, building no fewer than five indigenous security services that will ultimately involve 70,000 recruits. But far more bodies are needed.

We are paying 235,000 former Iraqi soldiers to do nothing each month. Why not pay them to be border guards, to provide security for pipelines, power lines and neighborhoods? If they...
...incumbent leader Paul Kagame - the rebel general credited with ousting the Hutu government that orchestrated the killings, and who has led the country as part of a transitional government since 2000 - retained control with a 95% share of the vote. But while Kagame claimed "Rwanda is on the right path," defeated challenger Faustin Twagiramungu was quick to reject the ballot, claiming his campaign was stymied by intimidation...
...NASA promised to comply fully with the findings. Grim Reckoning PERU The government-appointed Truth and Reconciliation Commission claimed at least 69,000 people died or disappeared during two decades of rebel and state-sponsored violence, almost twice the previous estimates. The commission blamed the Maoist guerrilla group Shining Path for more than half of the killings carried out between 1980 and 2000, and government troops for much of the rest. Most of the victims were Quechua-speaking peasants. Nuclear Traces IRAN The U.N.'s nuclear weapons watchdog confirmed that inspectors found particles of highly enriched uranium at a nuclear...
