...last May, when FBI Director Robert Mueller held a televised news conference to plead for news of el-Shukrijumah, tips have poured in placing him everywhere from Niagara Falls in New York to Tegucigalpa, Honduras. "He's kind of like Elvis," an intelligence official told TIME. "He seems to pop up all over." The last place he can be credibly traced to, however, is Waziristan. FBI agents call el-Shukrijumah the next Atta?after Mohamed Atta, the Egyptian ringleader of the 9/11 attacks. Investigators are trying to learn whether the versatile el-Shukrijumah helped case the buildings featured on recently...
...answer is no, unless you count cricket, which the International Olympic Committee rather unsportingly doesn't. The painful truth is India is rubbish at pretty much every other game. It has no football team worthy of the name, ranking 142nd in the world, behind the Maldives (paradise-island nation, pop. 339,330). Its rugby squad lost 78-3 in a recent match in England, to Pershore (pleasant market town, pop. 7,304). And in a century of Olympics, India has won just 16 medals?fewer than that other nation of a billion, China, typically wins at a single Games...

Yet each ethnic or social group (ranging from the singer-storyteller caste known as griots to the Fulani and Tuareg tribes) has its own musical tradition. The result? A heady mélange that spans infectious Afro-pop, bluesy grooves, hip-hop and a mosaic of traditional genres. That mix is best encountered at La Refuge, tel: (223) 223 3799. It has no street address, so taxi drivers might have trouble finding it. Listen out for the chocolate-smooth Cuban rumba drifting out from the rutted lanes...
...rational numbers 1/8, 1/32, 1/96, 5/1536...that occur on the right-hand sides of these formulas are remarkably ubiquitous in mathematics and the mathematical sciences: they pop up in contexts ranging from power series for trig functions, to black-body radiation in physics, to abstruse mathematical disciplines such as K-theory and homotopy groups,” Elkies wrote in an e-mail...
