Young Greeks Seek Options Elsewhere - NYTimes.com

Like Ms. Mallosi, an increasing number of young college graduates are leaving Greece as a deepening recession chokes a job market already crippled by an entrenched culture of cronyism. And the outlook for a turnaround is not good. The national debt, estimated at 300 billion euros (nearly $400 billio

Almost as unlikely a win for the Tea Party as O'Donnell's was that of Carl Paladino in New York. Few pundits had suggested that the political novice would beat the former Congressman Rick Lazio, a Republican establishment candidate. Paladino will face the Democrat Andrew Cuomo in November.

Where will Real IRA threats lead? Not very far | Michael White
In an obvious sense the Real IRA's threat to start murdering bankers is a sinister development. But in another, Henry McDonald's account in today's Guardian of his dealings with the republican splinter group is PG Wodehouse stuff. All that stuff about a memory stick wrapped in a surgical glove lodged in a toilet bowl should be enough to cheer the hardest heart. Let's hope that putting it there lef

尖閣諸島沖：中国の強硬姿勢「試している」アーミテージ氏 - 毎日ｊｐ(毎日新聞)
知日派として知られるアーミテージ元米国務副長官は１５日、東京都内の日本記者クラブで記者会見し、尖閣諸島沖での衝突事件をめぐる中国の強硬姿勢について「日本と米国との関係が冷たくなっているからこそやっている。どこまでなら許されるのか試している」との見方を示した。アーミテージ氏は、日本政府のこれまでの対応について「正しい。慎重に対応している」と評価。そのうえで、長期的な対応として（１）「尖閣問題があるから」とあえて言わずに防衛費を少しでも増やす（２）フィリピン東方のパラオで行われる米海兵隊の訓練に自衛隊が参加して共同訓練にする－－などのアイデアを挙げ、「挑発的にならずに、メッセージを静かに送ることだ」と中国をけん制する必要性にも言及した。【西田進一郎】
