...left Harvard to launch his own hedge fund. Timber “is also a good diversifier since its returns will not correlate closely with returns from equity markets,” Meyer added at the time. The majority of the Kaingaroa forest, located in the Central North Island of New Zealand, is made up of radiata pine—generally used for building material. It is considered one of the “premier timber estates in the world,” according to a statement from the fund, pointing to the forest’s impressive growth rate...
Does your idea of a great tropical vacation include tequila slammers and dance contests? Then the Baros resort in the Maldives is not for you.

And they have. In Rhode Island, Democratic Senate nominee Sheldon Whitehouse has been running an ad in which he says, "We need to send a clear signal that, folks, we are really getting out" of Iraq. So upended is the political calculus that it is now Republicans like Senate majority leader Bill Frist who are urging...
...echo Bryan Walsh's article about the housewives' joint effort in pushing the Kitakyushu government and business sectors to work on pollution. I live on the southern tip of Hong Kong island overseeing the South China Sea. But in recent years, my house's windows oversee smog rather than the nearby outlying islands of Hong Kong. In September, my 4-year-old son suffered from respiratory infection twice and was prevented from going to school. The poor air condition in Hong Kong has reached an alarming level.
