Brazil as Litmus Test: Resende and Restrictions On Uranium Enrichment

Seven years ago, Brazil joined the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). Standing in the gilded treaty room on the top floor of the U.S. Department of State, then-Foreign Minister Luiz Felipe Lampreia formally deposited the instrument of ratification before secretary of State Madeleine Albright and a small group of nonproliferation experts.

Calling Lampreia the "Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire of international diplomacy" for ratifying both the NPT and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, Albright noted that Brazil's NPT accession would have been unthinkable 15 years earlier.

Germany set to keep hold of No. 1 spot as world's top exporter, government says

Germany, already Europe's biggest economy, is confident it can fend off booming China to remain the world's top exporter, the government's Economics Ministry said Tuesday.

The ministry said that Germany's ranking in the first nine months of this year was unlikely to change. It said the World Trade Organization did not expect Germany to slip, citing its World Trade Report 2007 …

Streak-breaker Danks wins a 'Blackout' beauty

It made no difference to Ozzie Guillen whether it was ''Blackout'' good on Tuesday.

All that mattered to the White Sox manager was that starting pitcher John Danks was good enough to end a four-game losing streak, as well as helping handcuff the red-hot Tampa Bay Rays in a 4-1 win.

It was Danks that put himself on the map, and in the hearts of Sox fans, in 2008 when he shut down the Minnesota Twins in the ''Blackout'' play-in game that won the Central. The way the Sox were reeling and letting 2010 slip …
