New York - The UN Security Council was to meet later Thursday to discuss the situation on the ground in Georgia, where Russia's armed forces continued their slow withdrawal.

The 15-nation council has two draft resolutions on the situation, from France and Russia, which both aim to resolve the brief war between Russia and Georgia, but with different goals.

France, which holds the current European Union presidency, demands an immediate ceasefire, a definite pullout of Russian troops and respect of Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

New York, Aug 21 : During his seven-year rule as President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf defused tensions with India and also cut off terror infiltration routes across Kashmir, and “due to such co-operation, he was at the top of Al Qaeda’s target list and dodged three assassination attempts,” said an editorial in the Wall Street Journal
(WSJ).

New York - Shoes, furniture and cars have been mass produced on assembly lines for years. Why doesn't the same apply for houses?

This question has intrigued several architects, including Walter Gropius, Frank Lloyd Wright and Marcel Breuer, all of whom experimented with the idea of building homes using modular design principles. Their part practical, part utopian ideas are part of an exhibit in New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) entitled Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling.

MoMA describes the exhibit as a survey of the past, present and future of the prefabricated home and a building project on the museum's vacant west lot. It aims to display the process of architectural design and production in equal measure with the actual end result.
