Indian Government Plans Bold Economic Measures
Sep 17th 2012, 12:43

In India, the government is not likely to back down from a series of sweeping economic reforms it has announced, despite stiff political opposition. The reforms are expected to invigorate the country's flagging economy and salvage the reputation of a government widely criticized for a paralysis in policy-making. The decision to allow foreign supermarket chains such as Walmart and Tesco to set up shop in India is the boldest and most contentious reform measure taken by the government. But it ...

Non-Profit, Entrepreneurs Pair Up for Clean Toilet Micro Loans in Kenya
Sep 17th 2012, 14:15

In Kenyan slums, residents lack good sanitation options. In fact, they're typically faced with two distinct options: The infamous "flying toilet," whereby people defecate into a thin polyurethane sack, tie it up and throw it outside, or the public toilet, which costs between four and six cents per use, and is usually overflowing with filth.  Either option, of course, has unique health and environmental consequences.  "In Nairobi, 90 percent of the waste is dumped into ...

Marylanders Recall Bloodiest Day in US History
Sep 17th 2012, 13:12

Last week on September 11th, people around the world vividly recalled the day 11 years earlier when foreign terrorists piloting hijacked airplanes killed nearly 3,000 Americans and others. Today, it's mostly forgotten that 4,000 Americans died, and another 15,000 were wounded, in a single day on U.S. soil - 150 years ago. That was, and remains, the bloodiest day in U.S. history, and it is being remembered in the Maryland countryside west of Washington, D.C., near a sleepy little town called ...

Pastoralists Played Major Role in Ending Rinderpest
Sep 17th 2012, 13:41

In June 2011, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization officially declared that the deadly animal disease rinderpest had been eradicated. The disease devastated livestock and lingered in Africa long after being eliminated in developed countries. But while a vaccine put a halt to rinderpest, eradication would not have occurred nearly as quickly without the help of nomadic herders. Rinderpest was the first animal disease to be eliminated globally -- and only the second disease overall to be ...

Anti-Japan Demonstrations Prompt Chinese Discussions of Protests, Patriotism

As anti-Japanese protests spread in China and in some cases turn violent, Chinese Web users are questioning when the actions of protesters go too far. Although protests in Beijing were mostly peaceful, some carried extreme messages.   "Even if all China becomes a grave, we must kill every Japanese," read a banner at the front of a group of marching protesters near the Japanese embassy on Sunday. In other cities, demonstrations took a violent turn. In the Southern city of Guangzhou ...
