...possesses the power to summon the world. At the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, he gathered representatives of 47 nations (including 38 heads of state) for the largest diplomatic event convened by a U.S. President since 1945. Obama's goal--a nuclear-weapon-free world--still sounds quixotic, but real incremental progress is being made. In March he cut a deal with Russia to reduce Cold War stockpiles.

...rows and columns reflect their properties and how they interact with one another. In the 19th century, several scientists worked on developing a periodic table that arranged the elements according to their atomic weight. It is Russian chemistry professor Dmitri Mendeleev, however, who is credited with developing the first real table in 1869. He organized the 63 then known elements into groups with similar properties and left some spaces blank for those whose existence he could not yet prove. In 1913 physicist Henry Moseley's experiments showed definitively that the order was dependent not on atomic weight but on atomic...

But perhaps a marquee player like LeBron James is not the sole answer to their problems, just as Cristiano Ronaldo is not a panacea for Real Madrid’s issues. A sports team is, after all, a team, and to pin championship hopes on the individual efforts of star players is a characteristic, easy, and frustrating mistake...
...Northwest Corner project, which is slated for completion by the end of 2011, will add about 250,000 square feet to the Law School’s campus—and a much larger real reduction goal in existing buildings, Arciprete says...
