...enormous warehouse whose ground floor resembles an African bazaar. Hundreds of traders, most from West Africa, have set up stalls, a makeshift mosque and a kitchen where women prepare traditional meals. Upstairs, Senegalese dealer Moussa Cissokho displays his wares. The presentation is modest--the figurines are still caked with soil, and the small space is crammed with crates--but the price is right. For a figure about a foot high that could, if it is a genuine Nok, command tens of thousands of dollars at a gallery, he quotes a bargain price of $3,000. What you might call...
With some justification, Loder feels he is being unjustly branded a villain. Hydrologists say a lined lake generally loses less water from evaporation than a lawn of comparable size, since grass consumes soil water while losing moisture through its blades--meaning the more than 100 golf courses in the area deserve equal scrutiny. "The lake looks wasteful," Loder says, "but it uses half the water a date grove would use, and I've attracted high-end buyers whose money feeds the local economy."

Dry climate or not, a companion paper published last week in Nature shows on the basis of the other fossilized flora and fauna, as well as the chemistry of the ancient soil, that Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba lived in a well-forested environment. That's also the case with other extremely ancient hominids found during the past several years, including Ardipithecus ramidus ramidus and a species called Orrorin tugenensis, announced last December by French and Kenyan researchers. And while the ability to walk...
Some of it, though, is coming back. Big Danish firms such as Vestas are building turbine factories in the U.S. The two largest solar-device manufacturers on American soil are British-owned BP Solar and German-owned Siemens. Ownership may be foreign, but American workers benefit...
