...broad-reach strategy has worked. When Patrick took over operation of the business in 1993, the company ran a single plant with 50 employees. Today there are 170 employees and two state-of-the-art mills with more than 426,000 sq. ft. (about 40,000 sq m) of manufacturing space operating three shifts, six days a week...
...Tamil Tigers," Hulugalle tells TIME. "They held these civilians by force for so long, but they cannot do that any longer." Just two years ago, the Tigers held vast swaths of land in the country's north, but have now been limited to a 20 sq km (7.7 sq mi) coastal zone surrounded by the military. A naval blockade to the east has also cut off possible escape routes. On Monday, the Sri Lankan government gave the Tigers 24 hours to surrender...
...late 18th century former tobacco warehouse is a row of winsome gargoyles in the form of 4-ft. (1.2 m) red-plastic penguins by the Italian collective Cracking Art. Inside, you don't have to check in to get a vast sampling of new art: the 9,000-sq.-ft.

...nobody outside Camp Ashraf to hear the members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), a fiercely anti-Tehran group who have been based here for the past two decades. That is, unless you count the Iraqi security forces who took over control of the perimeter of the 19-sq.-mile camp in February from U.S troops. The Americans had protected it since the 2003 invasion. But the Iraqi soldiers, like their government in Baghdad, don't appear keen to listen to the chanting. The MEK should "understand that their days in Iraq are numbered," National Security Adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie...
...partially excavated remains lie spread out in the forest, connected by stone causeways (the Maya were the world's first highway builders). The expanse of the site is breathtaking: thousands of ruins lie over an area of 23 square miles (38 sq km). Towering 236 ft. (72 m) over it all is the Danta pyramid, of greater volume than the Egyptian pyramid of Cheops and affording sweeping views of the lush green canopy. No trip to El Mirador is complete without a climb to this aerie of the gods - nor a wry contemplation from its summit of the long slog...
