...surge in revenue from natural resources - or from foreign aid, for that matter - tends to drive up exchange rates, making exports less internationally competitive. But thriving export industries, Collier argues, are precisely the reason for Asia's dramatic economic rise. They are also what Africa will need to develop in order to follow the same trajectory. Collier's idea seems to be sinking in: last month, the large international aid organization CARE announced that it would no longer accept subsidized food aid from the U.S. because it was depressing local farm economies in poor countries...
...level, this is extreme-sports country. The world's top snowboarders compete on mountains buffeted by winds from Antarctica. In fact, Pinot vines don't mind a blanket of snow as long as summer temperatures are warm enough for the slow ripening needed for intense flavors and complexities to develop. "Pinot Noir is not one of those grunty, stand-a-spoon-up-in-it wines. It's fickle and voluptuous and complex," says Neill. "People say there's a lot of wine in the world, but there's not a lot of Pinot Noir, and admirers are looking for regional...
...emphasized Harvard’s commitment to creating community educational programs. In Harvard’s draft project impact report (DPIR)—a document submitted to the city in June that details plans for the science complex—the University promises to hire one person to develop science education opportunities for the broader public.

...Harvard were willing to become more creative and liberal in its approach, a wonderful relationship can still develop. To start, Harvard could put back into use the many vacant commercial properties it owns in Allston and Brighton. We look at the Harvard Ceramics Studio, a jewel of a program already in Allston but cramped in the basement of a nondescript building, and see great potential for classes, artists’ studios, and retail space that could benefit everyone. Beyond that, planning for Harvard’s campus could take a new and fundamentally different approach that brings people together instead...
...thigh-challenging balancing act or a luxurious pampering. Back at Tokyo Midtown, as I watched the dogs cruise by in their custom strollers, I wondered if Japan's vaunted toilet-makers have considered creating a pet-friendly washlet. After all, at least one firm is busy trying to develop commodes that can do everything from test for pregnancy to check the glucose levels of diabetics. A high-tech pet potty can't be that much harder to construct, and then at least those pampered greyhounds wouldn't have to leave the cool confines of the mall to answer the call...
