Thousands Feared Dead in China Quake

Thousands Feared Dead in China Quake
By JIM YARDLEY

BEIJING — A powerful earthquake struck a mountainous region of western China on Monday, reportedly killing more than 8,500 people, including as many as 5,000 people in a single county, and trapping more than 900 students beneath a collapsed high school as tremors shook buildings throughout China and were felt as far away as Thailand and Vietnam, according to interviews and reports in China’s state media.

The earthquake was the worst to hit China since the Tangshan earthquake of 1976 when more than 240,000 people died.

The 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit in Sichuan Province on Monday afternoon, and the...

Cuba lifts ban on home computers.

The first legalised home computers have gone on sale in Cuba, but a ban remains on internet access.

This is the latest in a series of restrictions on daily life which President Raul Castro has lifted in recent weeks.
Crowds formed at the Carlos III shopping centre in Havana, though most had come just to look.

The desktop computers cost almost $800 (£400), in a country where the average wage is under $20 (£10) a month.
But some Cubans do have access to extra income, much of it from money sent by relatives living abroad.

Since taking over the presidency in February, Raul Castro has ended a ...

Clinton's chief strategist quits

Posted: Nico @ Sun Apr 06, 2008 9:37 pm

bbc GMT, Monday, 7 April 2008 01:45

The chief strategist for Hillary Clinton's campaign to become the Democratic Party's candidate for the US presidency has resigned.

Mark Penn stepped down after a row over a potential conflict of interest involving his public relations firm.
Mr Penn's company had been employed by the Colombian government to help it pursue a free-trade agreement with the US - a deal Mrs Clinton opposes.

Mrs Clinton is vying with Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination.
They have been fighting a close battle in the continuing state primary election campaign.

The latest count of pledged delegates to the party's ...

Fresh clashes break out in Basra

There has been fresh fighting in the southern Iraqi city of Basra, as Iraqi security forces battle Shia militants for a second day.

Police and witnesses report heavy clashes in five districts. More than 40 people are said to have died overall.
Prime Minister Nouri Maliki has given militants 72 hours to lay down their arms or face penalties.

His campaign to "re-impose law" in the city triggered fighting elsewhere in Iraq, and many towns are under curfew.
In Baghdad's Sadr City, clashes continued overnight and civilians are feared to be among at least 14 people killed.
Unrest in...

Gold hits $1,000 for first time

Posted: Nico @ Thu Mar 13, 2008 10:18 pm

bbc Thursday, 13 March 2008, 21:36 GMT

The price of gold reached a record, trading at $1,000 an ounce for the first time, pushed higher by a weak US dollar and fears about the US economy.

Concerns about a possible US recession are seeing investors buy up commodities such as gold as an alternative to company shares and the US dollar.

Since the beginning of the year the value of gold has increased by about 20%, after it rose 32% in 2007.
Gold eventually settled for the day at $993.80, up $13.30 an ounce.
Analysts say gold will stay high as long as dollar and growth fears remain.

"Every bit of bad US economic data boosts gold in two...

NY Gov. Spitzer...about to resign?

Posted: Lumina @ Mon Mar 10, 2008 2:33 pm
His press conference is about to begin, and he'll be speaking about whatever his "involvement" is in a prostitution ring. NY, I'm so sorry. That's my only opinion until there is more hard news. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,336493,00.html
