...hope that the country can rise just as improbably. Without hope, there will be no initiatives or efforts for improvement. As Harvard focuses on sustainability, students can hardly comprehend Zimbabwe, where there is so little to sustain. A main hospital in the nation’s capital, Harare Central, closed two weeks ago. In a country with 231 million percent inflation, a nurse cannot even buy a soda with her weekly paycheck, about 12 US cents. At the SADC summit, Tsvangirai warned that one million Zimbabweans face death from starvation this winter. His remarks come with the UN?...
...eight-game unbeaten streak into the match. Paced by a tremendous group of goal-scorers atop and a dynamic duo of goaltenders in juniors Lauren Mann and Laura Dale, the team is poised to advance and face the winner of the other regional match pitting host Boston College against Central Connecticut State.

Thai media have also reported that the Central African Republic might take Thaksin in if he's willing to invest some of his fortune in one of Africa's poorest countries...
...living in Bangui, the Central African Republic's capital, probably isn't high on Thaksin's destination list. After all, the former Thai premier has a fondness for luxury shopping and golf - and has indulged both diversions fully since he was forced from office two years ago. (In a sign that Thaksin may be resigned to a longer exile, he gave up one of his last official connections to his homeland on Tuesday, that of President of the Professional Golfers Association of Thailand.) Loss of pride aside, Thaksin can at least take heart in the august company of others...
