Elad's activities, in the views of its opponents, amounts to turning over Jerusalem's archaeology to extremist Jewish settlers. That has alarmed many Israeli and international scholars, Palestinian officials, and human-rights advocates.

For scholars, it sparks concerns about whether Elad can be independent and objective in its work. And for Jerusalemites it raises a fundamental question: What matters more, the stones and bones of antiquity, or the lives...
...actual Enumeration" of the population every 10 years in order to determine how many Representatives each state gets in the House.

As news broke that scientists had detected DNA from the fish in Lake Michigan, the White House--which also opposed the shutdown--agreed to convene an Asian-carp summit for worried Great Lakes governors. U.S. Representative Dave Camp of Michigan, meanwhile, introduced a bill to halt the potential spread of the aggressive fish and develop a strategy to close the waterways...
...where I can go to find the men selling the cartes: the stadium, the gas station on the corner, all places where you go to meet the right people. It's clear relief has come hand in hand with Haiti's age-old, seemingly death-defying corruption. "Let the white people give out the coupons. The Haitians will just take them and sell them," says Josmen Jean, 25, who also made the journey for her 50 lbs bag of rice...
