Love Meets Politics on Dating Websites
Feb 8th 2013, 17:09

If similar political views bring people together on the campaign trail, why not in romance as well? That's the concept behind two new dating websites for people on opposite sides of the political spectrum. Redstatedate.com and bluestatedate.com are named after the colors on a political map which indicate whether residents of an area vote predominantly Republican or Democrat. Political bedfellows "In college, I was active in a young Republican group at USC on campus," says Ashlee ...

Feb 8th 2013, 17:51

European Union leaders reached agreement on the first ever cut in their common budget on Friday after 24 hours of talks, seeking to placate millions at home struggling through government cutbacks and recession.   The expected deal met the demands of northern European countries such as Britain and the Netherlands that wanted belt-tightening, while maintaining spending on farm subsidies and infrastructure to satisfy the likes of France and Poland.   It will be the first net reduction ...

Feb 8th 2013, 16:14

Hundreds of South Africans placed flowers and candles by a simple wooden cross in a building site on Friday where a dying 17-year-old gang rape victim was left to die, a murder that shocked a nation inured to sexual violence. At the head of a procession that chanted "enough is enough" was Anene Booysen's distraught foster mother, Corlia Olivier, who recounted the moment last weekend that she saw her daughter dumped amid the gravel and grass, her stomach slit open down to her ...

Zimbabwe Draft Constitution Produces Heated Debate
Feb 8th 2013, 16:44

Debate is raging both inside and outside Zimbabwe about the country's proposed new constitution.  The document's framers say the draft contains several advances, but acknowledge it is the result of a political compromise.  Opponents say they think the process was flawed and the new law still gives too much power to the already authoritarian president.  Zimbabweans on both sides of the issue met in Johannesburg to debate. Mugabe at heart of debate ​​Zimbabwe's draft ...

One of the three leading candidates for the presidency of Cyprus in Feb. 17 elections says he would press for renegotiation of a financial bailout, and that outsiders should have no say in how the island manages natural gas finds.   George Lillikas, whom opinion polls put third in the race, said that by securitizing the undersea gas reserves, Cyprus could swiftly extricate itself from onerous terms of aid now under discussion with the European Union and the International Monetary ...

NASA says an asteroid will fly extremely close to Earth next week, but no one has to head for the hills or take shelter in a cave. It is the closest ever predicted Earth approach for an object this large. The asteroid, known as 2012 DA14, will fly about 27,520 kilometers above the Indian Ocean next Friday - so close that it will pass inside the ring of geosynchronous weather and communications satellites. NASA scientists say there is no chance the space rock measuring about 45 meters across ...
