MACHIAS - The University of Maine at Machias will display an oversized National Geographic map of Asia from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 7, at the Reynolds Center Gymnasium. The map, designed for pupils in kindergarten through eighth grade, comes with interactive games, atlases and books about the physical characteristics of the continent as well as its history and cultures.
If you've ever wanted to hike your way across Asia, Evansville's Central Library has a deal for you. The trip is free and will take just minutes. A giant map of the continent has been laid out in the children's area of the library.
When the presidents of 10 countries gather today to map out their strategy for the security of Central Asia, there will be one major player conspicuously missing: the United States. The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is holding its annual summit here, just a few miles from the Manas Air Base that the United States uses to support its operations in Afghanistan.

He must have figured us for timid eaters, because he suggested stuffed mushrooms ($4.95), tempura fried 'shrooms stuffed with marinated steak. Instead, we decided on kim chee rolls ($4.95), deep-fried egg rolls stuffed with kim chee. One of the basics of Korean cookin...
Recently, Buddhist monks and pro-democracy activists marched in the streets of Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar. Myanmar? Yangon? Where in the world are they? Try their more familiar names: Burma and Rangoon. Follow your mental map to a remote corner of Southeast Asia untouched by the Vietnam War or, for that matter, much of anything that has affected the rest of the world since Burma adopted a policy of political and economic isolation after independence in 1948. Here is a quick geography refresher on this isolated nation that I witnessed while traveling there 32 years ago: Myanmar is a reclusive country overshadowed by powerful neighboring countries and little known to the outside world. To the west, this former British colony is bordered by the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh and Indi...
