Says Mohamed Ali, leader of the Ceuti Democratic Union, an opposition political party. "Ceuta is two cities. All of the institutions, and all of the investments go to the center; the Príncipe gets nothing...
...into trouble again, when computers that control the station?s oxygen, water supply and orientation failed. With the three-man station crew just joined by the seven visiting astronauts of the space shuttle Atlantis, the specter of Apollo 13 on a grand scale - with 10 astronauts in danger this time instead of merely three - immediately arose.

It's no surprise that Edwards and Obama want to boost foreign aid. They believe...
...Ashok Alexander, director of Avahan, the Indian AIDS program of the Gates Foundation, says that while "it's good news that overall the numbers are down, the real danger of this is it masks the real prevalence in one third of India: the south." The study, which leans heavily on the national health survey - itself is based upon face-to-face interviews with some 200,000 people between the ages of 15 and 54, more than half of them women - found that infection rates in southern India are significantly higher than in the north of the country. This could...
