From Brooklyn to Kosovo, with love and AK 47's: cousin Florin raises the money; Uncle Besnik buys the guns; Shefqet does the fighting; the Krasniqi family helped found the Kosovo Liberation Army in 1995, and they aren't about to let a silly peace plan ruin their dreams of independence

Article Abstract:

Florin Krasniqi is considered the chief fund raiser of the Kosovo Liberation Army that he operates from his Triangle Contractors office in Brooklyn, NY. His goal and that of relatives and friends is to liberate Kosovo from Serbia. Since its inception in 1995, Krasniqi has raised between $12 million and $15 million for a group of militants that are disorganized and outflanked by Serbian forces.

The games use drill-and-practice software to keep students interested and help them retain what they learn. At a higher level, artificial- intelligence researchers use a game to teach expert-system development to students.

Great escape

Article Abstract:

More and more Australians are traveling to the country's unpopulated wilderness in mobile homes and caravans. Younger generations are honing in to this vacation genre once reserved for "grey-haired nomads" and "geriatric gipsies." Record numbers of vacationers are participating in the Great Australian Escape, a round-Australia tour.
