...America, dominate the discussion. Yet for every migrant that achieves economic success, tens of thousands don’t. For every migrant that makes it into the U.S., hundreds of thousands don’t. For every migrant that decides to make the trip, millions rot in destitution. My experience with Latin American migrants leads me to see each of them enveloped in a sort of pyramid of destruction...
...case of Noorzai is just more evidence of the plague of groupthink that has struck U.S. decision makers, from the mishandling of pre-9/11 intelligence to the mistakes in Iraq. Officials made contact with a valuable source but then just let him rot in jail with the crucial information. Such missteps have cost billions of taxpayers' dollars and thousands of soldiers' lives...
...doesn't release any evil compounds when it's decomposing. However, that doesn't mean your keyboard will start decaying on your desk. All of the bamboo is dried and treated for bugs and infestations, resulting in a material that's harder than oak and no more likely to rot than its plastic equivalent. Now that your eco-guilt has been allayed, all you'll have to worry about is a panda making a meal of your mouse. www.playengine.co.uk
Fresh from a country with two official languages: a new Canadian study suggests that being bilingual will, on average, postpone the onset of dementia by 4.1 years.

Researchers speculate the ability to operate in two languages could - like exercise or stimulating leisure and social activity - help the brain continue normal functions even as it decays physically. Just don't expect great things from your French refresher course. The study, appearing...

Baku's élite included the Rothschilds during the 1890s, when Azerbaijan produced half the world's oil supply. Oil production slid steadily as the Soviets let the infrastructure rot. Today hundreds of rusted oil derricks and pump jacks, many predating World War II, cram the seafront outside Baku like a scrap-metal forest, with old Soviet tractors turning several wells. The astonishing sight was memorialized in the 1999 James Bond movie The World Is Not Enough. Towering over the area...
