That somber sentiment surely ran through many of the 31 countries that have sent soldiers, engineers, police or other personnel to Iraq to assist the U.S.- and British-led reconstruction effort. And it may have scared off other potential contributors to the cause. Because major U.S. allies Germany and France have not joined the Coalition, the Bush administration has turned to an odd assortment of mostly smaller countries for help. In all, those nations have sent only about 15,000 soldiers to Iraq....

Cavani, 30, has flourished since arriving from Napoli in 2013, scoring 155 goals for PSG to be within one of equalling Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s record. The 30-year-old has also boosted his medal collection with 13, including three Ligue 1 titles but the Champions League – which PSG’s hierarchy so desperately crave – has proved elusive, despite the club’s lavish spending.

In 1991, I moved to LA on a whim. I was broke and looking for a job and ended up working in a nursing home. That led me to nursing school and chemistry started to click. I worked in areas of home hospice and palliative care. That dream never left and I began to think that maybe I could be a vet. I started taking my prerequisite classes for vet school, and I continued nursing actually to pay my way through vet school....

LEVY: What’s the effect of the ruling on Microsoft? BALLMER: My wife asked me that. “What will you be doing differently on Monday? On Tuesday?” And the answer is not much.

But basically by Wednesday it’ll be back to life as usual....
