...spotted by an organizer of Mali's legendary Festival in the Desert. The annual event has attained something of iconic status in the eyes of African music connoisseurs. Set in the dunes of the Sahara, several hours' drive from the nearest town of Timbuktu, the festival attracts an array of world-music talent, both from Africa and beyond. Kane was asked to perform five days before the festival began in 2004 - not even enough time to put his name on the flyers - but his set caused a stir amongst the assembled critics. After being snapped up by a U.K.-based...
...First, there's the civil war. For nearly half a century, the Burmese army battled an array of communist and ethnic-minority rebellions, growing bigger and tougher in the process and seizing power along the way. About 15 years ago, the government and most of the rebel groups agreed to a historic set of cease-fires.

The civil war is at the center of Burma's problems; it's what has brutalized and impoverished the country...
...Boqueria remains primarily a produce market whose vivid colors (more than a dozen types of tomatoes), pungent scents (over a hundred classes of vinegar), and boundless array of tastes (nearly two hundred different kinds of salt) combine to create a palace of epicurean delight.

Speaking reverently of the culinary cathedral he had visited each Saturday with his father from age two, he adds, "It was a far-fetched dream." By sheer luck they happened onto Don Jaime's fruit...

It's estimated that sales for the Peoria, Illinois, farm and construction manufacturer's reman division were $1 billion in 2005 - a small share of the $36 billion in total revenues the company generated that year. Nevertheless, remanufacturing is one of Cat's fastest-growing units and it is expected to continue expanding by 12-15% a year through 2010. Steven L. Fisher, who heads Caterpillar's reman division...
...groups like Genesis, who reformed for the London show. Organizers had stressed that the massive festivals themselves would be as green as could be - the Tokyo show was to be powered by solar energy and biodiesel made from recycled cooking oil. So I wasn't surprised to see an array of solar panels at the center of the information hall, apparently hooked up to a big-screen TV playing the feed from the concert stage next door. Very green, except for the fact that we were indoors, and there...
