...Kaesong. With the persistent high global demand for basic commodities as a backdrop, a group of South Korean officials from mining and mining-equipment companies have recently been allowed several visits to Danchon, an area in the country's northeast that is known in the mining industry for its rich mineral deposits. Danchon reflects the somber reality - but also the potential - of doing business in North Korea. The transportation infrastructure in the region is dilapidated, the power supply unreliable. But some companies are willing to take the risk. Four years ago, Wonjin Worldwide Corp., a Seoul-based mining company, formed...
...that last point of food versus fuel, the naysayers have so far had the upper hand. Corn - the main source of ethanol in the U.S. - isn't a very rich source of energy, and it's difficult to understand how a world that still has nearly a billion hungry people could dedicate a sizable chunk of its corn harvest to fuel. The 4.86 billion gallons of corn ethanol produced by the U.S. in 2006 has already had a measurable impact on grain prices, which are hovering at world highs...

Indeed, India has lodged a counter complaint against an Australian bowler who they say called the Indians "bastards," a term Australians use to describe everyone from their worst enemy to their best friend, but which the Indian team manager told...

With technical support from the U.S. giant General Electric - along with companies in Japan, Austria and the U.K. - Suwung is installing equipment that will capture the landfill gases and convert them to electricity...
...daily basis, what they saw and experienced. Moreover, there were photographers, amateur and professional, of all nationalities using still and movie equipment to make a visual record of life in the tortured city. I have rarely, if ever, seen a documentary reconstruction of a historical event that is so rich in firsthand (and well-preserved) photographic material. All the directors did was assemble a cast of actors (some of them as well-known as Woody Harrelson and Mariel Hemingway, some of them unknown) and set them to reading the written record, cutting away to the moving footage, still pictures...
