...everyday Pakistani people to Musharraf's invasion of the Red Mosque seem to be sympathetic to the opponents of extremism. Whenever the silent majority remains silent, those countries fall prey to military or theocratic dictatorship. Let us hope that the Pakistani people do not present their country on a silver platter to the mullahs. They must be vocal and resist any attempt of takeover by the clergy. K.B, Kale, Jakarta...
...rest of southeast Queensland. Last month a group of scientists in the area got one step closer to launching what could be the world's most advanced experiment in rainmaking - or, as it's known in weather circles, cloud seeding. That's the practice of injecting clouds, usually with silver iodide "seeds," salt or dry ice, to make the clouds' water or ice particles bigger and yield more rain. The technique has been used in different parts of the world for more than 60 years - with varying success. But the slow ramp up of weather technology - and an enduring human...

A project staff of about 30 will use a recently installed CP2 Doppler radar to analyze what's happening in Queensland's clouds before, during and after materials like silver iodide and salt are sprayed into them from planes. Working in tandem with other ground radars and forecasting equipment, the technology will be able to do a three-dimensional reading of the atmosphere - similar to a body scan. Not only will this mean better information about when conditions are right...

His main invention was the West Coast offense, a now widely practiced style of play that eschewed long passes and runs up the middle in favor of short, surgical passes that dissected countless defenses.

...Obama, sleeves rolled up and jacket off with a silver BlackBerry on his hip, took questions from the audience for 40 minutes (on top of his 19 minutes of remarks). One attendee asked Obama why he won't impeach President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney...
