Over in Portugal another round of big austerity measures are announced including a proposal to shut down public broadcasting.
The White House meanwhile has opened the door to drilling in the Arctic as the Democrat Party convention comes to a close.
The World Bank has released a report on Morocco citing extreme unemployment among youth as the prelude to another arab spring revolt. Finally a disagreement between Wikipedia and Phillip Roth brings back the looming issue of an ongoing decline in editors and administrators for the book of knowledge.
