...middle of nowhere, a secret government document leaked to local journalists. Junta leader Than Shwe outlined his fears of an invasion by the U.S. and lauded Naypyidaw's superior defensive position compared to the former capital: mountains on one flank, distance from the sea and limited road access. The only vulnerability to this bunker city was from the air. But even here, Naypyidaw has been blessed. When Cyclone Nargis devastated Rangoon and the nearby Irrawaddy river delta on May 2 and 3, killing perhaps 100,000 people and leaving as many as 2 million others fighting for their lives...
...just marketing. Both Nike and Under Armour are latching onto a new approach to training that's more dynamic than lifting weights and sprinting.

...million people in Myanmar who need help and are facing death by dehydration, malnourishment, and disease. This is not the first time the junta has acted reprehensibly. Last September, several hundred monks staged peaceful protests that resulted in the junta committing a number of murders, cutting off internet access, and threatening foreign journalists who were reporting on the protests. The junta clearly acts contrary to the best interest of its citizens. As a long-term goal, the international community should aim for a regime change in Myanmar, seeking a government that will take better care of its citizens and will...
