...show there was no one in danger of violating the liquor laws. Mostly it was very stylish folks engaging in a little nostalgia. I've got no fight with aging artists and aging concert-goers, but what interested, and saddened, me, was that when you get older people with money in a concert hall, you get a very laid-back concert. Madonna's set list included almost her entire new album. It's a good album, but it's dance heavy, and the crowd just wasn't going to dance to stuff they didn't know intimately. The only time...
...Hammadi's eyes brimmed with tears as he related the story. Then, he turned. Hussein's sister was being told the news. She kneeled before an older man, who was speaking softly to her, his face drawn, his eyes tortured. She cried out, "Hussein! Hussein!" in a long, shrill lament. She held her head in her hands and began to pull at her hijab while screaming out her brother's name. A young man tried to help Hussein's sister to her feet, but she couldn't bear to stand. Small children began to cry, and one little girl...
...fears that polygamists will be targeted while non-polygamist women can still marry young without worry. The authorities, she says, "don't apply the law across the board."

She also points out that some young polygamist women don't come forth to testify against their husbands because they are content with their lives...
...potential environmental crises it could unleash. But that dilemma may be solved by new technologies that could reduce CO2 emissions from coal to nearly zero. Coal-fired power stations using "supercritical" boilers produce hotter steam to run the turbines: 600?C compared to around 540?C in an older plant. Supercritical plants make more efficient use of the energy created by coal's combustion, so less carbon is emitted - around 25% less than the average coal plant. If biomass - an amalgamation of wood, crops, grasses, even household wastes - is mixed with the coal, carbon emissions...
While love was blooming, the two families worked hard to create a system that might support an eventual marriage. There were few role models to follow. Many older adults with DS live in residential facilities that do not accommodate married couples. Another reason such marriages are rare--no one knows exactly how many there are--is that marital status can affect the amount of support that adults with disabilities receive from federal aid programs administered by the states. "People who might otherwise be interested in marriage don't want to risk losing their benefits," says Dr. William Schwab of Madison...
