...while the level of fans' financial interest isn't yet clear, their unrest is palpable. "We have been in this business for years," Hicks told TIME shortly after buying Liverpool last year. "All team owners go through a learning curve at how to be a good owner. We both have done that ... fans want stability. Players want stability." In truth, it hasn't really worked out like that. A public spat with Rafael Benitez, Liverpool's Spanish team manager and a favorite among supporters, has done nothing for the American owners' own fan base in the city. Uncertainty over...
...Change can bring uncertainty, however, not just for Nepal but for other countries. Nepal, a country of 28 million, is sandwiched between the world's rising giants, India and China, who both have cast their eye over the Himalayan nation as a buffer against the other.

It's probably not as costly as the price of unrest. Money is my non-lethal ammunition. I'd rather give somebody a job than have to fight them...
...today. But, since the rigged December 27th presidential elections, violence has swept over Kenya from the port city of Mombasa to the slums of Nairobi. By comparison to some of its East African neighbors, Kenya has been an example of peaceful democracy. Nevertheless, Kenya’s current unrest is the legacy of its failure to address historical injustices and is a sad reminder of the virulent resentments that longstanding inequalities have inspired. Still, under the right leadership, Kenyans will stop taking justice into their own hands and turn to their leaders to resolve the electoral dispute. But for that...
