...observe ordinary roach behavior, Halloy and his colleagues created an enclosure with two "shelters" inside - red-tinted plastic disks mounted so that roaches could scurry underneath to avoid bright light, which they do instinctively. When the insects were dumped into the enclosure, they scrambled around randomly for a while, but eventually all huddled under the same shelter. That they huddled is no surprise, since roaches like to gather in crowds. But since cockroaches don't have enough intelligence to allow for leadership skills or even communication, the fact that they collectively decide on one shelter looks, says Halloy, "like...
...Midwest isn't the first part of the U.S. to set up such a regional climate deal - the Northeast, the Southwest and the West have already signed similar deals. But the Midwest runs red politically and is carbon-heavy on energy. With 22% of the U.S. population, the Midwest produces 27% of its greenhouse gas emissions, thanks largely to the fact that many of the states rely heavily for power on coal, the most carbon-rich fuel (71% of the region's electricity comes from coal, compared to 49% nationwide). The deal isn't perfect. Too much emphasis is placed...
What's the solution? Li & Fung is moving up the food chain, becoming a brand-managing powerhouse. This year it is on track to sell more than $200 million of licensed goods like Levi's Red Tab and Signature tops and Disney plush toys--a business many analysts expect to grow to $1 billion by 2007.

Eradicating the middleman role for some products could open up other opportunities...
...risk of getting the disease. Based on an analysis of 7,000 previous studies, the report was billed as the most sweeping examination ever conducted of the relationship between cancer and the way we live. It advises us, inter alia, to be as slim as is healthily possible; limit red meat consumption and avoid processed meats completely; exercise every day; drink with scrupulous moderation, if at all (no more than two standard drinks a day for men, one for women); and forgo the gratuitous calories in things like soft drinks and fruit juice...
Once upon a time, back in the 1950s, the hot emblematic issue in Australia's politics, as in America's, was communism. We feared Stalin and subversion by the enemy within; the "red menace" was played on, crudely but efficiently, by conservative politicians. Today all that is gone. Australian politics has a new emblematic issue, a different moral center. It has nothing to do with ideology. It is race: the politics of identity, of Aboriginal rights, and the obligation to face a murky and cruel history...
