...continent's economic and political resurgence in recent years. After three decades beset by genocide, famine, AIDS and wars as obscure as they were endless, much of Africa is thriving. Soaring demand for resources like oil, timber and minerals--especially from China--has pushed annual economic growth for sub-Saharan Africa to more than 5% for four years running and is inching toward 7%, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Conspicuous activism by Western politicians, philanthropists and rock stars has helped relieve the continent's debts and deliver billions in development aid. There is less war and more democracy...

...party," the idea that such a rational and well-researched plan could be upset by, as one woman put it, "a country sleaze" simply did not compute. Mitt Romney's concession was just being announced on CNN as precinct captains shook their heads. Some exclaimed, in the same polite sub-profanities that Romney might use: "Bull!" "Darn!" Somewhere, perhaps, even, "H-E-double hockey sticks!" Told that Fox News had just made a similar announcement, viewers were adamant: "Then Fox News needs to have its head examined...

...Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger,” and the Expressions Dance Company took it from there at “Ex-Static” on Saturday night in Lowell Lecture Hall. But even the best of machines can get a bit rusty (especially in sub-zero weather) and require a little engine grease to get rolling.Expressions is a dance company that encourages and thrives on audience participation, and one of the ways it does so is by being shamelessly, refreshingly attuned to pop culture.

Pastore, who is tough and sly, and Benjamin, who dresses effeminately and is highly intelligent, have great chemistry and witty banter on screen. Statham is a strong lead as well; however, the sub-par performance of his counterpart, Liotta, undercuts his performance. Liotta’s character is completely one-dimensional and boring. Perhaps to spice up Liotta’s character, Ritchie directs him to walk around nearly naked or showing his bare, 51-year-old derrière, but such sights...
