...longer the stalemate continues, the closer the government gets to achieving its goal of holding a new presidential election in November. A fresh vote may allow Honduras to re-establish order and restore its tarnished image. "This was a constitutional succession," de facto President Roberto Micheletti said at a news conference. "I won't allow for people to call this a coup." But many other Latin American leaders see the maneuver as exactly that--and fear it might set a dangerous regional precedent...
...South Carolina are listed as states with no restrictions on smoking in restaurants [July 27]: I am extremely pleased to report that in Rock Hill, S.C.--and, as of Jan. 2, 2010, in all of North Carolina--restaurants are smoke-free.

When the attackers were done, nine people had been killed and 45 homes lay smoldering and destroyed in the clustered Christian colony in Gojra, a town in central Punjab, marking the worst anti-Christian violence Pakistan has seen in recent years...
...Today on the Lower East Side, cultures new and old butt up against one another in an uneasy but (to the outsider) exhilarating whorl: a mere corner of a city block can contain a Mexican vendor selling sweet flavored ice, a Middle Eastern cart full of fresh mangoes, a Dominican cafe cooking spicy sandwiches, and an old Jewish deli hawking hunks of pastrami (all cheap, for the visitor). Some blocks resemble a World's Fair of bargain grocery stores, places of worship, and trendy bars. Red brick housing projects hide not far away. Even while standing at the base...
