Developing nations to bear cancer brunt, unprepared
The Republic of Spies — Abkhazia, one of the breakaway provinces over which Russia and Georgia fought in 2008, has been colonized by Russia’s state security services. And the locals are hardly thrilled.
Artificial meat? Food for thought by 2050 — It would solve some ethical problems, too.
Ten things I know about the mosque — Once again Roger Ebert is eloquent about conservative idiocy. His first point is far and away his best.
Top 10 Right-Wing Conspiracy Theories — The American radical right has to be considered a strong contender for the title of modern conspiracy champion. “Radical right” is being far too kind.

Also liked his suggestion to turn what is currently called ground zero into a park, because it’s pretty much the same idea I have had these past eight years or so. Though there should be some kind of memorial to the victims in the park, perhaps the sculpture “The Sphere” by Fritz König which used to stand between the two towers and was later recovered from the rubble, because of its link to the site and because no one can possible object to it.
