...Cotton Street in Marks, Miss., not so much a town as a sprinkle of cottages baking in the sun, Edwards retraced the steps of Martin Luther King Jr., who was so moved by what he saw there in 1968 that he decided to launch the Poor People's March on Washington from Marks. Sammie Mae Henley lived on Cotton Street in 1968 and still lives there today, surviving on a $620 a month Social Security check, sitting on the plywood porch of the same tumbledown shack that King visited 39 years ago. She is 80, with gunmetal-gray hair pulled...
...were to drive past Australian science's smartest new toy, it would be easy to mistake the large, circular building at 800 Blackburn Road, Clayton, for just another office complex. But inside, something spectacular is being produced - light a million times brighter than the sun, light to which scientists from around the country are now drawn like moths. They're queuing to use the Australian Synchrotron, the largest such device in the Southern Hemisphere and one of about 40 worldwide. Researchers hope it will provide discoveries and answers across almost every field of science - whether it's seeing how insects...
...long within which bunches of electrons zoom at 1 million laps a second - almost the speed of light. It's when they are forced by the magnets to bend and change direction that the streams of subatomic particles - which travel the equivalent of 50 times to the sun and back each day - emit electromagnetic radiation, the precious synchrotron light. Selected into different wavelengths that are channeled down tubes called beam lines to laboratories set around the machine, that light will be used by researchers to examine processes and minute samples with a precision and at speeds unheard of in everyday...

And, he is using the same tactic with Gaza's garbage collectors; the city stinks with piles of trash rotting in the Mediterranean sun. So far, Abbas has failed to ask Cairo to open the Rafah crossing on the Egyptian border with Gaza, stranding thousands of Palestinians trying to enter or leave the coastal strip...
...something that has to protect the skin. I don't want to say space suits, but something that protects us from rays coming through. Something that provides its own environment, like a second skin." Or a space suit. He also predicted "some kind of glasses that protect from the sun's rays." I didn't want to say anything, but sunglasses seemed a tad disappointing as 2107 invention...
