Mexico's ruling conservative party had been in power just 50 days when drug lord Joaquin Guzman slipped out of a dark prison and into Mexican folklore on January 19, 2001. Eleven years later, President Felipe Calderon's government is furiously trying to flush out the man nicknamed El Chapo - "Shorty" - to rescue its bloody war on drug cartels.

Sat, 24 Dec 2011 08:50:02 +0100 (Reuters) - North Korean defector Lee Ju-sung, who escaped from North Korea in 2006, holds pairs of socks stapled with messages before he and members of North Korea Peace, an international volunteer group helping North Koreans, fly a box containing pairs of socks using a balloon towards North Korea near the demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas in Paju, about 50 km (32 miles) north of Seoul, December 24, 2011. The volunteer group sent 1,000 pairs of socks stapled with messages of hope and love to North Korea via inflated balloons on Saturday. According to them, the warm socks are a critical necessity during severe winter season in North Korea, where many people lose their foot and legs due to frostbite. The socks can be exchanged for approximately 22 pounds of corn in the local market, enough food for one month. REUTERS/Kim Kyung-Hoon (SOUTH KOREA - Tags: POLITICS MILITARY)

Typhoon Nesat left 43 people dead and destroyed about 4 billion pesos ($91 million) worth of crops and infrastructure early this week, the disaster agency said.
