When a friend jokes about your source of income, there is every likelihood that he has been spreading bad rumours about your source of wealth. Laugh, but mark him. The less you tell him, the better for you. The less you see of him, the more you will see of peace.

About a week after an earthquake that has left more than 2,000 people dead, Haiti is still reeling and aid groups are struggling to respond.

NPR reports that Aid agencies say they're trying to get aid to the quake zone as quickly as possible. But roads were blocked by the quake, a key highway is controlled by gangs — and then Tropical Storm Grace hit earlier this week.
