...night, students at BC staged a rally Monday. The participants said they were protesting what they saw as the lack of a uniform hate crime policy at BC. “We’re speaking out against the fact that there is no public or institutionalized hate crime protocol,” BC senior and former African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American (AHANA) Leadership Council President Omolara Bewaji told The Heights, the student newspaper, Monday. Five students were involved in the incident in Roncalli Hall around 9:30 PM last Thursday, according to The Heights. BC sophomore April...

Inveneo was launched in 2004 by three Silicon Valley veterans - Mark Summer, 36; Kristin...

After the 1991 U.S.S.R. breakup, Uzbekistan looked down its nose at Kazakhstan - historically nomadic, steppe-locked, undeveloped - and Karimov claimed the role of regional heavyweight for himself. But here he was, despite his obsession with protocol, choosing his own country's independence day to embark on a state visit to Kazakhstan. It was the visible sign of a new order in the region. "From now on, we're calling the shots in Central Asia, and Karimov came to acknowledge that," commented a senior Kazakhstani official...
