(Some ethnic Malays concede they are scared of joining state-sponsored militias because insurgents might see them as collaborators and target them.) Racial discrimination continues to fester in Thailand's deep south. An Amnesty International report released earlier this year documented systematic torture of Muslim detainees by Thai security forces.

Don't trust soda-company...
...drawback here is price: a new CO2 dry-cleaning machine can run more than $100,000. Cleaning green "does take longer and cost more," admits Kistner. How much more? Green Apple charges at least $6.16 to clean a shirt using wet methods or CO2. (See TIME's special report on the climate change summit in Copenhagen...
