“Say hello to the new Twitter.com, it’s a lot like the old one, but with the two impor­tant fea­tures. Search works great because it’s all done on the page with­out any reloads.

“How effec­tive the Amer­i­can train­ing mis­sion will be is unclear. The cor­po­ral said it would be years before the Afghan Army was ready to oper­ate inde­pen­dently full time. But he said he had seen rea­son for optimism.”

“Switzerland’s largest bank, UBS, has asked a US court not to go ahead with a tax case involv­ing more than 50,000 US cus­tomers with Swiss accounts.
