...Obama's latest gambit isn't only about recasting his image - he is also laying down a trademark political bet here. Normally, Cuban policy is never much more than a wash for Democrats: so many Cuban Americans register and vote as Republicans that there isn't much point in trying to woo them with policy proposals, unless they are hard-line, which usually results in pandering charges. But Obama seems to see an opening here others don't: he appears to be making, with this proposal, a pitch for younger voters and newly arrived Cuban immigrants, who have more liberal...
...named "Spider Web" museum, built to commemorate Hizballah's "Divine Victory" over Israel after their 34-day war last summer, which ended a year ago yesterday. Though just a temporary installation built on the rubble of a building destroyed during the war, the museum showcases the guerrilla organization's trademark attention to detail and its fearsomeness...

It was in 1985 that Volkow first began using PET scans to record trademark characteristics in the brains and nerve cells of chronic drug abusers, including blood flow, dopamine levels and glucose metabolism--a measure of how much energy is being used and where (and therefore a stand-in for figuring out which cells are at work). After the subjects had been abstinent a year, Volkow rescanned their brains and found that they had begun to return to their predrug...
