...warned delegates from over 190 countries that the time for idle talk on global warming was over. "We now face a crisis that makes it abundantly clear that increased CO2 emissions anywhere are a threat to the integrity of this planet's climate balance everywhere," he said. "As a result the old divide between the North and South, between developed and developing countries, is a divide that must become obsolete...
...Soul. Yet on his new album, “Universal Mind Control,” the aging rapper replaces those influences with newer artists like Kanye West and Chester French. Common’s entrance into a new crowd implies a baldly careerist effort to modernize his sound. The result is a resolutely generic club rap album entirely devoid of the musical experimentation and rhythmic virtuosity that defined Common’s early collaborators. Early in his career, Common gained a reputation for focusing on social and political issues instead of gangsterism and consumerist machismo. From the first verse...
...decent 3-2 start so far this season. In its last game however, it fared much like its namesake did against the British on Long Island in 1776, as George Washington was routed by Maryland, falling 76-53.

The interim government rode into power on a tidal wave of popular anger and exasperation with the AL and the BNP and their demagogic, warring leaders, Sheikh Hasina and Khaleda Zia, who ran these behemoth parties...
...latest trade data show that sustaining China's economic boom over the next year will prove arduous if not impossible. Last month China's exports, a major driver of the world's fourth-largest economy, fell by 2.2% compared with November, 2006. The result marked the country's first decline in exports in seven years and was a sharp reversal of the double-digit growth rates manufacturers have typically posted in recent years. The drop was "a shock figure," says Ben Simpfendorfer, the Hong Kong-based chief China economist for the Royal Bank of Scotland. "I had expected exports...
