The number of companies in compliance has risen from...

China's government is trying to put lipstick on the pig. From MSNBC.com: The government said three people died in Tuesday’s violence in this coastal village northeast of...

In an internal memorandum distributed on Wednesday, the department declared "Courier New 12" - the font and size decreed for US diplomatic documents for years - to be obsolete and unacceptable after February 1.

Belgrade flag flap reveals identity crisis By Matthew Price BBC correspondent in Belgrade C300 has come to the rescue of Serbia and Montenegro's politicians. At last a scientific answer to the political problems countries in the Balkans have faced for years.

The wrangling began when Yugoslavia was abolished in March this year, and changed its name...
