"The quake very strong. It scared us … my wife was screaming, my children were crying," said Yosef Roa of Tolikara, adding there was no damage around his neighborhood where most houses are simple and made of wood in the traditional style.

Obama’s “poised for recovery” = Jimmy Carter’s workforce levels
This sort of thing is a standard feature of the Obama economy: anemic job creation – which occasionally bounces up to decent levels for a month or two – coupled with enormous workforce contractions, as discouraged job-seekers give up looking and exit the market.

Obama to host Mideast leaders in renewed effort

Iran’s silent war in the Gulf
A series of trials under way in the neighboring Gulf states of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain offer a glimpse into the ongoing, silent war being waged by Iran against its regional rivals. Bahrain is of particular interest to Tehran. The tiny island emirate is home to a Shi’a majority – ruled over by the Sunni Khalifa monarchy. Iranian officials often describe Bahrain as rightfully constituting the “14th province” of Iran.

Putin and Merkel set for a prickly Russian-German summit?
When Russian President Vladimir Putin flies to Germany on Sunday to open this year's Hannover Messe, the world's biggest industrial fair, it will be one of those key milestones – like the upcoming Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics and Russia's chairmanship of the G-20 this year – that demonstrate to the world that Russia is back as a leading global power and economic force to reckon with.

Iran nuclear talks 'yield little progress'
Iran has failed to deliver a "clear and concrete response" to a proposal aimed at ending deadlock over its nuclear programme, a Western diplomat has said.
