...Kazakhstan, while committing tens of million dollars to infrastructure and hydropower projects in impoverished Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. China has also become the single largest investor in Afghanistan, building roads through Kabul and setting up a massive $3 billion copper mine. In 2001, China formed the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), a geo-political grouping aimed at improving economic and political relations with Russia and other Central Asian nations - as well as a vehicle for Beijing to quash support for separatists in its restive Xinjiang province, whose Muslim Uighurs share ethnic ties with Central Asia's Turkic populations. The SCO also declared...
...hard to project power with a name like the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Certainly, the 10-country Eurasian assembly, which gathered in China's financial capital last week, can't claim the brand recognition of the European Union. But the SCO?which consists of China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, as well as observer nations India, Pakistan, Iran and Mongolia?is rapidly raising its profile. The regional bloc's massive population (more than 40% of the world's total), wealth of natural resources (more than 20% of the world's oil reserves) and strategic location could give considerable influence...
...last week, U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack blasted the SCO for having included Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the summit: "Having Iran there as an observer?Iran, the world's largest or most significant state sponsor of terrorism ... runs counter to the idea that this is a group dedicated in part to countering terrorism in the region."

Still, the regional conference could prove useful in curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions. After meeting on the sidelines with both...
...goes with the territory. I wonder whether Scofield can actually play an entire solo viscerally without dipping into his grab-bag of jazz pyrotechnics. If so, I have yet to see it. Despite the frustratingly self-conscious solos, I was really impressed by what an energetic and powerful performance Sco and Co. gave. While some of Scofield’s own material tends to be rather oblique, Charles was a natural songwriter, and his tunes stand up well to reinterpretation. Statham was able to channel the blues and gospel traditions in his singing and seemed to delight in pleasing...
...peak, this first variant of Mydoom accounted for 8.3 percent of all e-mails moving across the Internet—one out of every 12 e-mails processed—according to the e-mail-filtering firm MessageLabs. The virus launched a vengeance Denial of Service attack against the SCO Group, a company that has claimed ownership of some of the code used in open-source Linux distributions. With millions of computers sending token bits of data 12 times every second, Mydoom’s attack would have easily overrun SCO’s servers. But SCO just changed...
