| Lost boys of Bagram still live in prison's shadow Posted: 22 Jul 2012 02:58 PM PDT KARACHI, Pakistan (Reuters) - During some sleepless nights when his stark bedroom walls remind him too much of his old prison cell in Afghanistan, Jan Sher Khan scans Internet dating sites he'd heard about from U.S. soldiers who once guarded him. The 24-year-old Pakistani never contacts anyone on the dating sites. He doesn't know how he'd tell them he spent more than six years in the U.S. military prison of Bagram after being detained as a 16-year-old and accused of being a suicide bomber. ... |

| Rake shuns Barclays chairman role: sources Posted: 22 Jul 2012 02:30 PM PDT LONDON (Reuters) - Michael Rake, deputy chairman of Barclays Plc , has ruled himself out of contention to be its new chairman, striking a blow to the UK bank as it hunts for new leadership to steer it through its interest rate-rigging scandal.

"Slower, Lower, Weaker" would be a better description of the economic performance of many of the countries competing in the games. None of the big names will look worthy of a place on the podium if forecasts for a raft of data due this week from the euro zone, the United States and Britain prove accurate. Even China, the long-standing growth champion, is huffing and puffing. ... |
