...going to stop writing the column for a while because her husband had become Defense Minister of Poland, and she was moving to Warsaw. Sure, Anne, and I'm taking the summer off because I'm having brain surgery. In Cleveland. But it's true. The operation is called deep-brain stimulation (DBS). They stick a couple of wires into your head, run them around your ears and into batteries that are implanted in your chest. Then current from the batteries zaps some bad signals in your brain so that good signals can be heard by the rest of your...
...tuna. Much of the Med's tuna is no longer caught by traditional means. High-tech "tuna ranches" began appearing in the Med in the late '90s and have proliferated over the past decade - fish farms consisting of circular floating cages about 50 m in diameter and 50 m deep, set up 2-3 km from shore. The ranches are most often controlled not by small European operators but by large multinational corporations. In the cages, tuna fatten up on smaller fish, often for months at a time, before they are slaughtered and shipped off to Japan - the market...
...their own, however, these technologies aren't enough to decrease overall emissions because the world's coal-burn rate is rising so quickly. For overall emissions to fall, plants also need carbon capture and storage ( ccs) technologies that shunt the compressed CO2 deep into the ground, perhaps into depleted oil and gas reserves, or into saline aquifers beneath the ocean floor. Sequestration technology works - oil companies have been using it for years - but so far it hasn't been used in conjunction with a power plant. The promise of ccs coal plants has won the approval of some environmental groups...

Even clothing has been inching up after months of deep discounting. "I wouldn't expect a lot of relief on gasoline prices," says Richard Berner, chief U.S. economist at Morgan Stanley. In addition to geopolitical tension, the hurricane season and its potential to disrupt refineries on the Gulf of Mexico lie ahead. And as we grudgingly get used to $3-per-gal. gasoline...
...that context, the abduction of the soldiers was particularly combustible. As it is, such acts strike deep into Israel's soul. It is practically a sacred notion in the Israeli military that nobody is left behind. And because the nation has a citizen's army and Israel's population is so small, hostage taking is felt intimately; if it's not your son or your neighbor's son, it could...
