What's more, the software giant would essentially control the entire instant messaging landscape, creating a new kind of interoperability that could lead to more innovation and a fresh revenue stream...
...once has been able to find the Higgs boson in the stream of debris emitted when two particles are smashed together at high speeds. Scientists at another CERN particle collider, LEP, felt they came close before the accelerator shut down in 2000. Scientists using the Tevatron accelerator at Fermilab near Chicago are still hoping to publish a discovery before CERN starts analyzing data later this year. Higgs says he is 90% sure that the LHC will find it, but he doesn't have the final word. "With all respect to our theoretician friends, experiments find out the truth," explains Tejinder...
...post will be to educate the American public about the mission of the Red Cross, emphasizing that the organization’s influence expands beyond times of major disaster.

Jafar, she says, was also taunted whenever a bomb...
McCain says comprehensive immigration reform failed because the public didn't trust Washington to enforce the laws. People assumed that existing illegal immigrants would be legalized while new ones continued to stream in. So now McCain pledges that nobody will get legal status until border-state governors certify that illegal crossings are under control. It is a weak promise. Because nearly half of illegal immigrants came here legally and then overstayed their visas, "border control" does little to actually slow the growth of the illegal population...
