From The New York Times:

In the United States, where the median household income is about $48,000, $4-a-gallon gas is painful.

In Nigeria, most of whose 140 million citizens live on less than $2 a day despite their country’s status as the world’s eighth largest oil exporter, $5.50-a-gallon diesel is excruciating.

Bird's eye view of a refugee world:

Google Earth's new mapping programme takes you on a virtual reality tour with the UN refugee agency of some of the world's major displacement crises and the humanitarian efforts aimed at helping the victims.

Hm… wondering how we can use this for work as well…

From BBC News:

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour says she is stepping down after four years in the post.

Ms Arbour, a Canadian legal expert, told the Human Rights Council she would quit when her term expired in June. She said it was for personal reasons.
