...Indian capital, a series of terrible crimes has come to light, exposing the huge rift between rich and poor. The scene of the horrors: the slum village of Nithari, an island of poverty surrounded by one of Delhi's most successful suburbs, Noida. On Dec. 29, body parts from 17 young women and pre-pubescent boys - one as young as three years old - were unearthed from the storm drain of the residence of a wealthy man on the border of rich Noida and impoverished Nithari. Plastic bags full of clothing were buried in the back yard of the three-story...
...panda rehabilitation program faces such huge odds, why continue breeding the animals if there's nowhere for them to go? Cynics note that zoos pay handsomely (up to a million dollars a year) for the privilege of hosting the animals. If prominently public attempts to reintroduce pandas into the wild is what it takes to keep the breeding program going, Xiang Xiang's coddled brothers and sisters had better prepare themselves to follow him back into the wild. Maybe they should borrow some of those electric probes for protection...

In Baca County, National Guardsmen are delivering medications to nursing homes and the elderly. But Baca has only an average 1.8 person per square mile. There are approximately 35 cattle per square mile here and nearly all of them are in deathly trouble. At one feedlot, an estimated 2,500 cattle are dead. And more snow is in the forecast. As many as 340,000 cattle in Colorado are at grave risk. The herds in Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma will...
...real victims of "crises" like the Saban saga, especially here in the football-addled South, aren't cities like Miami but rather universities like Alabama. I'm certainly a huge college football fan; and while you'd be na?ve to suggest that the Division I game was an honest enterprise when I was growing up, you'd be equally innocent not to worry that in the 21st century, money - especially the salaries being lavished on coaches like Saban - may extinguish the few embers of higher-education integrity still left glowing on the university gridiron. Alabama is so desperate to return...
