...Still, Hong Kong is determined to achieve recognition as Asia's wine hub. On Nov. 4-6, the city is hosting its second international wine and spirits fair. The fair is part of a broad effort to promote wine growth throughout the region, and even includes a tasting competition to determine what wines best complement traditional Asian dishes.

The West needs to face a sobering reality: Hong Kong...
There is another embarrassing fact about the ICTR. The tribunal is overburdened in part because referring cases back to Rwanda is politically fraught.

It will do anything for a buck—except fire a dean. Two years ago, REP was encouraged to track temperatures in rooms for the manager of building systems so he could see which were too warm and then lower their heat—and save money. When students shivered, REP got the blame. The administration may again be using REP as a front...
...Fortunately, she managed to focus on her studies while attending a Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) and even boosted her academic ranking while in exile, from 11th in her class to ninth. But the experience left a mark. "It's a really hard, unhappy thing, and it's not fair," Amy told a Houston television reporter in March just prior to testifying before a Texas legislative committee.
