Finland, which currently holds the presidency of the E.U., tried to avert the current crisis by proposing that one Turkish Cypriot port be opened in exchange for handing an abandoned tourist resort back to the Greek Cypriots. The initiative collapsed last week when each side refused to make concessions that would weaken its bargaining power in future talks...
...voting was set to begin, though, there were signs that the Liberals couldn't escape their past.

The NDP "Map to the Scars" showed key locations - offices, advertising firms, even a restaurant where money was allegedly handed over to party bosses in paper bags - at the center of the scandal that forced the Liberals from office.

A lot of U.S. expats came here via Costa Rica or another nearby foreign-retirement country, looking for a place where they could stay one step ahead of the real estate boom. And property prices in colonial towns such as Granada, and in beach areas like San Juan del Sur - where some 50 development projects have popped up in the last five years - have grown by as much as 300% in three...
