~ Earlier in the month Al Jazeera ran an article on the military build-up on Guam. We could probably due with less Al Jazeera's ink.

~ Speak German first! "Germany's parliament has approved a new immigration law requiring non-European Union spouses to speak German before they can join their husbands or wives in the country."
~ Jim Swanson and the new Covenant committee on serving people with disabilities is the subject of a story on the Covenant website. Go Jim!
~ Typhoon Man-Yi is now clobbering Japan. It looks like Korea and China are next.
~ Surprise! GovGuam gets $21 million windfall. There goes the incentive for reform! There wasn't really much political will for change anyway. Business as usual.

~ 40 gigabytes per second! The world's fastest home Internet connection is now operational in Sweden. Sign me up! I'm ready to move back to the old country.
