Pope Benedict slams entire UK gay community

February 3, 2010 by henryhunter · 2 Comments
[Translate]

The Pope has announced that he will be visiting the UK during his world tour, according to the official statement issued by the Vatican. His visit will cost the tax payer a reported £20 million… Which, if you live in the UK, you will be part of paying regardless of what you think about religion. Following this announcement, Ze Pope felt it prudent to express his disgust and displeasure at Harriet Harman's proposed Equality Bill, a bill which would introduce stronger equality legislation for gay men and women.

A letter containing a series of disgusting and embarrassing comments from the Pope to British Catholic Bishops has been made public, and among the many opinions the Pope expressed about the UK, this one stood out… "In some respects it actually violates the natural law upon which the equality of all human beings is grounded and by which it is guaranteed."

Now, there are many faults to be found in the letter, and this quote in particular… I guess the first should always be the most obvious as that always seems to get the ball rolling. If at any point during the 1930/40s you were a member of the Nazi Party, you have absolutely no right to talk about equality or natural laws. I realise that Pope Benedict would have you believe that he was an unwilling member of the Hitler Youth, which may or may not be the case, but you can bet your bottom dollar that he wasn't denouncing his membership at the time (he was with the Hitler Youth from 41 to 45)… He was a member of a group who are the embodiment of evil and bigotry, now he leads a group of people who look to him for spiritual and moral guidance, and while there is no final solution set forth yet, he is pushing the same bigotry and intolerance that the Nazi party did. It is also important that we keep in mind that the Catholic Church has long been accused of protecting child molesting priests who are given the freedom and resources to continue with their sickening acts of rape and sodomy against innocent, young members of the church.

Veteran gay rights activist Peter Tatchell of the group Outrage! feels that the Popes position that gay people shouldn't be allowed the same rights and freedoms as straight people… Or, more to the point, Catholics suggests that he genuinely believes that his church is above the law.

That hand gesture could send the wrong message Pope... It's not the 40s now.

If this disturbing tale proves anything, it is that the Church, the religion and indeed the Pope himself need to be dragged into the modern world… Kicking and screaming if needs be. The Pope should be reminded that intolerance and bigotry can't be preached alongside Jesus and the Bible, a book which clearly states "love your enemy" and "love all men"… Make of that last one what you wish. Adding exemptions to a book of rules that has been shaping morality and society since it was first published in 1380 is completely redundant, it doesn't say "love all men… Unless they're gay". This is an example of the worst kind of hypocrisy. The Catholics are not the first people to interpret a holy text to fit their own agenda, and they won't be the last but the more Pope Benedict blasts human beings for something that is entirely personal, as personal as which God (if any) that you follow, the more the younger, more tolerant generations will distance themselves from the church. The Pope doesn't have sex, so why should he have such an opinion on other peoples sexual orientation? In any argument one thing is true, and constant throughout… Without first hand knowledge, you can't have an opinion… That is just the way it is.

Asking the British public to foot the bill to bring the Pope here is unfair. Unfair to "non-believers", gay people and whoever else the Pope deems evil. If the British Catholic Church wishes to extend an invite to a man who would publicly denounce an entire group of people based on his own blatant self loathing, then I think it is only fair that they cover the cost…

HH- Congratulations on both a funny and factual title. Weird mental pictures now! What is funny is that the pope protects his own that commit homosexual acts…but only on boys under 16! Hmmmmmm! What it is that I dont understand is that homosexuality has been around since the beginning of time, women were for breading and men for having fun…why is it not excepted as normal yet?! In fact this article has inspired me to begin my bi-sexual adventure, because hell if the pope says its wrong then I am all for it, just like I am all for contraception! Brillantly informative and humerous as always Henry! Bringing religion and politics to the masses! Bravo!

o Clarification regarding the Unemployment Tiers | Senate Must Act Now!

2 Feb 2010

There is an extreme amount of confusion and worry regarding the unemployment compensation benefits both, regular and emergency extensions. The main point of confusion is due to the wishy-washy behavior regarding pending legislation in part, if not in whole, via Republican Party's firm stance of seeing both this administration and economy fail.

Nigeria to be delisted from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries

February 2, 2010 by Victor Ulasi · Leave a Comment
[Translate]

By: Victor Ulasi, Nigeria

National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS) of Nigeria has expressed great concern that Nigeria will soon be delisted from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), as Nigeria is gradually running out of crude oil.

As tension rises in Nigeria that the price of crude oil will soon fall to $30 per barrel and production to be reduced to about 1.5 million per day, that will led the Nigerian Government into bankruptcy which will result to the distilment of Nigeria from OPEC while Petroleum geologists stated that Nigeria still has about 3 decades as the 30 billion barrel crude oil reserve will be use up in 29 years approximately.

The General Manager, National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS) planning sector, Victor Briggs demanded that the Federal Government of Nigeria invites investors from both the International Community and the local community stating that without investments Nigeria will run out of crude oil making it impossible to export crude oil and will no longer be on the list of OPEC.

Victor who made it known that Nigeria is busy spending the money gotten from crude oil which is been paid in directly into the Federal Government account without making plans on how to invest in the oil sector, upgrade or explore the new methods of oil discovery and improve security in the Niger Delta region.

"On the other hand if the current security environment is sustained and even improved and we are able to increase our production to about 2.5 million bpd and the price goes to US$100pb we should be looking at about $62 billion revenue which means we will be able to pay the cash calls and even keep some monies for investment".

Speaking further, he called on the National Assembly of Nigeria to pass into law, the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) which will increase the nation's oil revenue by US$3 billion (about N450 billion) annually. "The PIB if passed immediately will add a minimum of US$2 billion to the national treasury. The benefit can even hit US$3 billion", he said.

To this end, oppositions said that National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation are raising false alarm about the Nigerian Crude oil in order to make the national Assembly pass the Petroleum Industry Bill which will increase the annual income of the oil sector, so that they will have more to steal.

Attacks halt UN food agency's deliveries in north-western Afghanistan | UN

WFP distributes food to an average 3.7 million Afghan people yearly, primarily in remote, rural areas

2 February 2010 - The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has temporarily suspended deliveries in north-western Afghanistan after a convoy was attacked over the weekend, resulting in the loss of over 100 metric tons of food aid.

A 19-truck convoy was stopped for the night in the Sang Atash area of Badghis province on 30 January when it was attacked.

Seven vehicles and the food supplies they were carrying were destroyed, while two other vehicles were damaged, although some of the food they were transporting was salvaged.

Challiss McDonough, WFP public information officer for Afghanistan, said that one truck driver is being treated for injuries, while one driver and his truck are currently unaccounted for.

The agency, she said, has temporarily halted food deliveries to the area while the security situation is being evaluated.

"WFP calls on all parties in Afghanistan to allow safe passage of vital food assistance intended to support the neediest Afghans," Ms. McDonough said.

The agency has been working continuously in the country since 1963 and is active in all 34 of its provinces. It has identified insecurity, drought, floods and low education levels as being among the factors exacerbating food insecurity in Afghanistan.

o Pope Benedict slams entire UK gay community

3 Feb 2010

That hand gesture could send the wrong mesage Pope... It's not the 40s now.

His position that gay people shouldn't be allowed the same rights and freedoms as straight people… Or, more to the point, Catholics suggests that he genuinely believes that his church is above the law.
o Clarification regarding the Unemployment Tiers | Senate Must Act Now!

2 Feb 2010

There is an extreme amount of confusion and worry regarding the unemployment compensation benefits both, regular and emergency extensions. The main point of confusion is due to the wishy-washy behavior regarding pending legislation in part, if not in whole, via Republican Party's firm stance of seeing both this administration and economy fail.

In a subsequent conversation, Green told Wilson that he wanted a warm-up suit and a pair of sneakers in exchange for the information.

Nigerian government recruits 1,767 prayer warriors to pray their president

February 3, 2010 by Victor Ulasi · Leave a Comment

By: Victor Ulasi, Nigeria

It has almost almost 3 months since the President of Nigeria left the country for medical treatment; some have begun to think it is something to do with the spiritual forces as the Zamfara State Government of Nigeria has recruited 1,767 Islamic clerics to pray for the quick recovery of President Umaru Yar'Adua.

Nigerians often concludes issues with religion as the people of Zamfara state states that the only way out of the Nigerian President's health condition is prayers and whatever maybe the health condition of the President has gone beyond Science and Medicine and they will fight it spiritually as well.

In order to fight the demons behind Nigerian President's health condition, World News Vine findings proofed that Zamfara State Government, will spend about 17.6 million Naira equivalent to 117,334 USD on the prayers as each of the cleric will go home with N10,000 equivalent to 67 USD for the service rendered within 15 minutes. The prayers are being held on the 481- week Friday preaching at Juma'at mosques in Gusau city of Zamfara state, Nigeria.

The Representative of the Governor, the state Commissioner for Religious Affairs, Sheik Tukur Sani Jangebe, remarked that the prayer session was necessary in view of the present situation the country was passing through.

According to him, the health of the president was very important for the survival of the country and, as such, he needed the prayers of Nigerians instead of playing politics with his health.

However, critics said for how long the Nigerian Government will continue to waste the Federal funds in the name of God, stating how God can answer a paid prayer for political propaganda, "God will punish those who mock Him in the name of Religion for political fame."

Trillian for Mac arrives as an alpha
by Seth Rosenblatt Font size Print E-mail Share 11 comments Yahoo! BuzzShare Multi-protocol chat client Trillian follows up its resurgence last year with a long-rumored Mac version. Trillian for Mac is an unstable alpha, lacking many of the features that make Trillian Astra appealing on Windows, but even so it offers users a good idea of what's to come from Cerulean Studios.



The first public alpha of Trillian for Mac is sparse but functional.

(Credit: Screenshot by Seth Rosenblatt/CNET)

This build isn't really ready yet to compete with the popular Adium, but cross-platform users will appreciate that the contact sync works. Enter in your Trillian username and password and all of your other instant messaging accounts will be imported, including passwords. Basic IM functions are fine, with support for Trillian's proprietary protocol Astra, as well as Windows Live, Yahoo, Facebook Chat, AIM, ICQ, XMPP, Google Talk, Bonjour, and MySpaceIM. File transfers work, as do most Mac hot keys, iTunes tracking, thought bubbles above avatars during chats, and drag-and-drop.

There's much that's missing, though, so don't expect to jump to Trillian right now. Social network feeds don't work yet, nor do group conversations or e-mail support. Growl support is also missing, and while you can see your friends' avatars, personal avatars aren't working yet. The Preferences window is skeletal, too. The full list of what should work and what doesn't is here.

Cerulean Studios also offers an iPhone version, and Trillian for Mac will sync contacts and other changes with its iPhone sibling. Tell us your thoughts on Trillian for Mac in the comments below.

Trillian jumped the shark a long time ago. No way are they gonna be able to compete with Adium on the Mac.

What's the purpose of this if we have an adium that sort of works...well okay the video doesn't work and the facebook chat is kludgy at best. But I've used trillium on pc's and it seems the dang thing eats up the entire desktop, i just want the thing hovering in a corner like i can do with adium.

Adium is all I use on my mac, considering how awfully slow, loud, stupid and annoying iChat is. I used Trillian on my Windows boot and it doesn't even come close to Adium. Good luck to the guys at Cerulean Studios, but I seriously don't see Trillian making any headway against Adium.

The problem with Trillian is that they aren't free. Even if they can grab a fraction of the users from Adium, which I don't think will ever happen, no one is going to pay for it.

For some reason I have just never gotten around to using Trillian, perhaps because I didn't feel like dragging out my windows machine just to try another IM agent but now that Mac is on the way I might have to give them a try.

'Avatar,' 'Star Trek,' 'District 9' get visual-effects Oscar nods
by Daniel Terdiman Font size Print E-mail Share 13 comments Yahoo! BuzzShare
On Tuesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the 2010 Oscar nominations. Among them were three nominations for visual effects and five for best animated feature.

(Credit: Fox)
In case you weren't paying attention, 2009 was a banner year for big, big visual effects movies.

And the teams that crafted the most impressive work were honored Tuesday morning, along with all the best and brightest in filmmaking, when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominations for the 2010 Oscars.

Here at CNET News we have a special place in our heart, as you might expect, for visual-effects-heavy movies because of the fantastic amounts of technology and computing power that goes into them.


Oscar's VFX and animation nominees (images)

As usual, the Academy chose just three films as visual-effects nominees. That number seems smaller this year, given that it's the first time that 10 movies were singled out as the potential best film of the year.

Still, to those who follow visual effects, there's probably little shock this morning in the fact that the three nominated films were: "Avatar," James Cameron's record-breaking anti-colonialism epic; "Star Trek," the latest, and some would say the best, in the long history of movies of the Gene Roddenberry franchise; and "District 9," from director Neill Blomkamp.

Perhaps the only real surprise was that "2012," Roland Emmerich's fantasy about an apocalypse long foreseen on the Mayan calendar, wasn't nominated. But in a year with several very strong candidates, it was clear that not every one of them would earn a nomination.

Also gracing the nominations was a CNET favorite, Pixar's "Up," for best animated feature. That film, Pixar's 10th straight big hit, was joined by several other strong contenders: "Coraline," Wes Anderson's "Fantastic Mr. Fox," "The Princess and the Frog," and "The Secret of Kells."

From this corner, "Avatar" looks to be as big of a sure thing to win the visual-effects Oscar as I can remember. It's not that the work ILM did on "Star Trek" or that Image Engine did on "District 9" wasn't great. It's more that "Avatar" has taken the world by storm, breaking the all-time box office record--previously held, of course, by Cameron's own "Titanic"--and pretty much blowing everyone away with the creation of the fantastical moon of Pandora. I will be completely surprised if "Avatar" doesn't walk away with the Oscar on March 7.

As I've written previously, if "Avatar" wins the Oscar, it could be the big public coming out party for Weta Digital, director Peter Jackson's visual-effects studio. Within the industry, to be quite sure, Weta is well-known for its work on Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and on his "King Kong," but my argument is that the company is not well-known by the public for its projects, which have already earned it four Oscars.

Either way, with nine nominations, including for best picture, best director, art direction, and cinematography, March 7 looks to be a big night for Cameron and the countless people who made "Avatar." After all, while 2009 was a pretty good year for movies, Hollywood loves a smash, especially one that makes people look at things in an entirely new way. And for that, visual effects may well be the true star of Oscar night 2010.

So...where is the line between "special effects" and "animation"? Avatar seems to have blurred that in a big way.
Like this Reply to this comment by bookshire February 2, 2010 11:55 AM PST
Blurred yes, but I would say any film where actual human actors are on screen and acting for a certain percentage of time, and if what they're doing contributes significantly to the plot, then it can't be called an animated film. The blurr come in what minimum percentage of the film they should be on screen.

I can't believe they nominated Inglorious Basterds. That movie was the worst thing I saw last year and that includes 'Hostel,' too. Tarantino owes me a refund for that over self-indulgent pile of crap he calls a movie.

THere was nothing classic about it. It was just the director over indulging himself in some stupid anti nazi fantasy. The bar scene nearly put me to sleep. I kept waiting and waiting for someone to get shot--all the while secretly hoping it would be the director. Also, the subtitles were a terrible distraction because the viewer is too busy reading that and missing any subtle acting by the actors. Terrible movie. A friend of mine and I were tempted to walk out half way through. Brad Pitt should win a Razzie for his performance, too.

I do not know if you care to be completely accurate, but 2009 is not the first year that the Academy has nominated 10 movies for Best Picture of the Year. They also did this in the 1930s and 1940s. But it has been a very long time.

2012 was terrible. I don't care how good your special effects were, if you can't put it in a good story it doesn't deserve any kind of award. Too many films these days fail on the acting, direction, the story, and many other things but because they have amazing special effects and giant marketing engines, they're supposed to win awards. The only reason why this isn't always true is because the ones who do the special effects often have nothing to do with the rest of the story and deserve to have their work recognized.

IBM games highlight benefits of 'Smarter Planet'
by Leslie Katz Font size Print E-mail Share 1 comment Yahoo! BuzzShare

Runtime, a game by Disney that's part of IBM's experiential exhibit at Epcot Center, lets players run, jump, and dance through a time line of IBM's computing achievements.

People don't usually associate IBM with video games, but a couple of interactive games now rigged up at Florida's Epcot theme park have Big Blue's stamp all over them. They're part of the revised "Smarter Planet," an experiential exhibit aimed at highlighting how technology is helping to ease global problems such as road traffic, city crime, and subpar local water supplies.

Through one "match" game, guests will discover that more than 2 billion people are using mobile phones to open and use bank accounts for the first time; or that only 11 percent of the United States money supply is cash; or that by unplugging household appliances while not in use homeowners can save cash, up to $286 every year. From the same kiosks, guests can take a poll and compare their answers with those of other visitors.

Another game, called Runtime and created by Disney, lets players personalize their avatars and run, jump, and dance through a computing time line that journeys through the Babbage computer all the way to the Internet, spotlighting IBM's achievements along the way. Guests can also e-mail their personalized version of the game to any computer in case they want to dance through the evolution of the ThinkPad at home.

The exhibit--which opened Friday and runs indefinitely--is powered by an IBM Smarter Data Center, part of the company's larger Smarter Planet initiative aimed at marketing green solutions to world problems. The campaign includes creating data centers equipped with highly optimized servers, storage, switches, and smart software to reduce companies' energy costs (up to 25 percent, IBM says).

Data center geeks attending the Epcot exhibit can also go inside the data center to see a demonstration of IBM Cloudburst, a scalable compute model that lets a data center rapidly deploy a workload.

In addition to powering the Epcot exhibit, the Smarter Data Center will donate unused computing resources to the World Community Grid, a distributed-computing project that harnesses idle computer time to assist research for Muscular Dystrophy, cancer, AIDS, and other medical and environmental causes.



Visitors to the Smarter Planet exhibit at Epcot theme park can have a look inside an IBM scalable modular data center.

Wanted at Google: Nexus One phone support
by Tom Krazit Font size Print E-mail Share 31 comments Share Google is looking for customer support professionals to handle its Nexus One phone, a clear sign it has recognized that its self-service support model has limits.


Google could soon start taking customer support inquiries over the phone, a major shift in its service strategy.

(Credit: Google) Digital Inspiration noticed a posting on Google's job boards looking for a "Phone Support Program Manager, Android/Nexus One," to be based at Google's Mountain View, Calif., headquarters. "As Phone Support Program Manager for Android and the Nexus One, you are responsible for ramping up and managing operations of Google's telephone support for our direct-to-consumer Android/Nexus One customers," Google wrote in the ad.

Google has gotten by with a pretty bare-bones customer support operation to this point in its history. Forums, FAQs, and e-mail support are pretty much the extent of what Google offers to everyone other than paid customers of Google Apps.

But following the launch of the Nexus One, Google's support forums were flooded with questions from customers who were having shipping and technical issues. Google attempted to direct questions to HTC and T-Mobile, its hardware and carrier partners on the Nexus One, but the Nexus One is being sold exclusively through Google at the moment, and it's the company that customers look to when they have a complaint.

Google declined to share specific plans for Nexus One customer support provided by live human beings, but confirmed the job posting was legitimate.

"We're working quickly to solve any customer support issues as they come up, and we are trying to be as open and transparent as possible through our online customer help forums. We continue to address all issues in as timely of a manner as possible, and we're flexible and prepared to make changes to our processes and tools, as necessary, for an optimal customer support experience," the company said in a statement.

It seems no matter how Google builds out its customer support team, it will likely do so in its own way. One of the job's responsibilities will be to "define and implement scalable business practices that leverage our internal best practices in one-to-many support to create efficiencies in high-touch support activities through channels such as phone and chat," according to the post. The person will also be responsible for coordinating support efforts with partners, such as HTC, T-Mobile, and other carriers that will eventually support the Nexus One.

Google is sloppy!

Local Apple store replaced my 3GS in ~5 mins with new one once they determined that it was a genuine issue
and couldn't be repaired.

Can you do that Google!

Are you guys comparing a long existing hardware company (Apple) with new baby company (Google)?

I've learned in a history class that empire Japan invaded China with guns and canons. Chinese fought back with knives and swords. First, China lost the entire country. Then they finally kicked Japanese out of their country completely.
Time will tell! For now, just laugh and laugh! Tmobile, Verizon, Nextel, ATTT are adopting Android and then iPhone will disappear on the planet.

@Slickuser
my HTC phone was swimming in the pool. it took me only 1 minute to get my files back (hint: SD slot). Can you do that Apple?

@ AppleJihadHunter

Yes I can... with my iPod touch that has now taken 2 trips to the washer, and still works perfectly.

First off, your Japanese/Chinese WWII analogy is incorrect, because the Instrument of surrender forced Japan to give up China. That would mean that, if we were to compare your comparison to the tech world, the FCC would have to force apple from selling the iPhone, for example. That will probably never happen.

Next thing, the iPhone may go to new carriers this year, which would make it even more attractive than the young android platform.

Finally, I would like to say that your name is a hilarious example of how much PC fanboys really hate apple users, simply because they use apple products. Mind your own business.

You need to put that SD slot on some computer to get your files. With iPhone, your mac/windoze PC would already
have all your stuff. (iTunes dude).

About time. Always hated their e-mail/forum only support model. Even for small businesses that spend $3000 for google mini search appliances, they don't offer phone support. They apparently don't think spending $3000 warrants a live human on the phone for support. Get real Google.

Exactly. Part of why the iPhone has a positive user experience is because when things go wrong, you talk to Americans (US and Canadian) support staff specifically trained in the iPhone who know how to fix it or who can authorize a replacement, either by delivery or by going to an Apple store. They are helpful, patient and courteous in my experience, and replacing a phone is an easy process (replaced my dad's phone that died on an update easily). I myself had to replace my phone because a small crack was developing around the mute switch. I thought I'd have an argument on my hands (since it was getting bigger slowly, but it still wasn't that big), but they just looked at it, confirmed it hadn't been dropped by inspection, and told me that they would be happy to replace the 32GB phone I had at no cost, but did warn that my data would be wiped and offered to back it up. I told them I had it backed up, and asked if we could do the remote wipe just to see how it works, and they thought that would be fun and showed me how it works. I was in and out in 15 minutes with a new phone, and mobileme had already put all my non-media data back on the phone.

Google is going to have an uphill battle to match that kind of service starting from some email/chat help bots...

Wow, yeah. That's pretty impressive. I've had similar experiences with T-Mobile, and they've definitely earned my good will and recommendations. Good customer support provided by people who speak your language goes a long way for me, and I'm sure it does for many others. I'm glad I've had no problems with my Nexus, because if I did, I can only imagine how frustrating an experience it would have been. I honestly can't believe Google bungled this thing so badly.

Not happy about their deceptive advertising for the Nexus One either. Ads for the phone are ubiquitous on Google pages, offering it for $500+, or $179 with a TMobile contract. Well here I am a TMobile user without a contract but they refuse to honor that ad.

Because of the misleading ad, I won't do it. The additional $100 they want rankles, but the bad marketing is worse. It makes me wonder if they are changing their corporate motto.

are you kidding me ! Get your facts straight !
the iPhone is runaway hit even in place like Japan ,
a place where Even the likes of Nokia had to pull out of

as far as other places goes , western Europe is also becoming a huge market
U.K and France especially !
Australia is another market with iPhone dominance !
and Korea and China sales have also gotten of to a decent start as well

if anything it's Android,RIM and palm that are mostly U.S based !

Guess that means that the majority of the business world is mentally challenged as well? I am so glad that a person like you, who is not mentally challenged can tell us about successful people who are apparently, more mentally challenged than you. Why listen to successful, money-earning individuals when we can learn about the world from random cnet users like yourself?

This has been my most sarcastic comment on cnet to date!

Nice troll.

I honestly can't understand fan-boyish loyalty for any big company, be it Google, Apple, Microsoft, Sony, or any other big corporation. Now, if this were a community project like Ubuntu, Arduino, MakerBot, or some other open-source project I contributed to, sure. Last I checked, though, I had to shell out my own hard-earned wages to use any of their products, they were all making plenty of good money off me, and they certainly didn't need me looking out for their best interests.

Wow lots of hate for Google for working to fix a problem. You guys scream foul when they make a phone then you condem them when they have troubles doing a new thing. Now they start fixing the issues, while juggling a cell company's and a phone manufacturer's issues as well. The nexus one model is trying to go a new direction for cellphones and wireless providers. As most stuff Google it's public beta for all, expect issues, wait for update and more often than not get pleasantly surprised.

For those of you with iPhones give Google voice a try it's kinda fun the transcriptions are a riot and maybe it will help bring the app through approval.

I love my nexus one it isn't perfect wouldn't want it to be.

SHARP SHOCK: X-ray shows scissors in mutt
No wonder my dog was feeling ruff


BEST PALS: Trudi & Gracey
By Alison Smith-Squire, 31/01/2010

THIS is the amazing X-ray that shows why family pet Gracey was as sick as a dog - a 6-INCH pair of surgical scissor clamps inside her for TWO YEARS.

They were mistakenly left behind after an op to spay her as a puppy. A different vet operated to remove them - and the Rottweiler-cross is now fighting fit. Owner Trudi Deja-Summers, of High Halden, Kent said: "Before the first op Gracey was happy but after it she wouldn't stop growling."


Eventually Gracey went lame in one leg and an X-ray revealed the cause - the scissor clamps. The vet who left them there apologised and offered to pay the £600 bill for the op to remove them.


Trudi said: "Gracey is now coming to me for big hugs again."

Chuddy u dont know what u are saying.You will tend to find that most dogs are fine unless they are bred to fight.Its the way they are brought up by their owners that makes them a problem.I think u have watched to many omen films lol

By Ady.. Posted January 31 2010 at 2:07 PM.


a shame for this dog? it is an absolute disgrace this happened, if this happened to a human there would be outrage! the poor thing must have been in absolute agony for two years. And as for these dogs being 'devil dogs?' have you had one yourself 'Chuddy' because i myself have two and they are the most loveable dogs, this is why they arent on the Dangerous Dogs list. If you havent had one and are therefore obviously ignorant, i dont think you have the right to comment personally. Hope Gracey makes a full recovery....

By nat.. Posted January 31 2010 at 12:59 PM.


Chuddy Al should be in a zoo IMO - did you not read that Gracey is a CROSSBREED you idiot!

By t king.. Posted January 31 2010 at 12:56 PM.


Chuddy Al - said like a true ignorant anti-animal fool!

ITS PEOPLE THA TURN DOGS INTO 'DEVIL DOGS'. I have a bullmastiff who is the most gentle creature, he cuddles up to the cats, watches frogs in the pond and is so friendly to every human.

If you dont have anything useful to say through genuine experience and knowledge, please dont say anything.

By Caroline, Warrington.. Posted January 31 2010 at 12:47 PM.


I hope that this imcompetent vet has been investigated & reprimanded by the Veterinary authorities so this does not happen to anyone elses animal..?
Poor Gracey - I hope you are feeling much better now

By minky.. Posted January 31 2010 at 12:31 PM.


To 'Chuddy Al',

What on earth are you rambling about?
What you say does not even make sense, I presume you are trying to say that rottweilers (even though Gracey is a cross) are 'devil dogs'..?

What exactly has Gracey done to deserve this tag - has she attacked anybody? Has she tried to bite a small child? No - she has simply had an operation by an incompetent vet, poor thing.

Once again, to all the small-minded oiks like you, any dog -large or small- is only as good as it's owner, properly trained & handled will produce you a well-rounded happy, controlled dog.

So unless you have anything interesting to say, with proper reasoning behind your 'opinions' then please be quiet.

Thanks! ;o)

That is shocking =O the poor dog, glad it is getting a full recovery =)x.....and i dont understand how people class a certain type of dog as a devil dog.....I think this type of dog is miss read, i have one and she is the most lovely dog you can have....it depends how the dog has been brought up and i cant stand how people miss read rottys =/ but everyone is intitled to their opinion.....

By Jade.. Posted January 31 2010 at 12:12 PM.


That's disgraceful the vet should pay compensation not just to put right his mistake. He should at least refund the cost of the original operation.

Chuddy - Well-bred Rottweillers can be the most affectionate and intelligent of dogs as I can testify. They were not bred for violence or even hunting as are some dogs. They are not the "devils" - it is the people who breed them from bad stock and those who don't take care of them properly.

The comment by Chubby Al.. is total rubbish! I myself own one of these dogs. They deserve every right to be in society the same as we do. Its not the dogs that cause the problems its the owners! Every dog can have an aggressive side & people can be just as bad!

By leahh.. Posted January 31 2010 at 11:44 AM.


Its ashame for this dog BUT these dogs should be in a zoo NOT in the public. Devil dogs have no place in society IMO.

SARAH'S LAW PILOT SCHEMES TO GO NATIONAL
10 children saved by Sarah's Law
We did it for Sarah

By Hayley Barlow, 31/01/2010

SURROUNDED by get well cards and family photos this is the courageous face of paralysed child abuse crusader Sara Payne as she begins her long road to recovery.

She needed TWO major brain ops in 36 hours after a massive stroke brought on by a brain aneurysm. Relatives gathered at her bedside as she was given just a 50/50 chance of survival.

SCROLL DOWN TO WATCH VIDEO

Now six weeks on, Sara, 40, reveals her deep scars - both physical and emotional - and says: "For a moment as I lay there I wondered if this was the point in my life when Sarah and I would be reunited."


In an emotional interview she tells how she was torn between fighting to stay in this world or slipping away to rejoin her beloved daughter in the next.

LEAVE YOUR MESSAGES OF SUPPORT FOR SARA BELOW

Still pale and drained, she recalls: "It's like I had a choice. If I'd seriously wanted to join her then I'd have just given up. But, for whatever reason, I didn't.


"I chose to live. And when you've lost a child that's a hard thing to come to terms with. Because there are times when being with Sarah is all I want - more than breath itself. But right now I have so much to live for.


"So I have to settle for knowing that one day I will meet Sarah again. And when it's my time to go, I'll go.


"But this wasn't that time. I know how close I came to dying and how seriously ill I was. But I try not dwell on that, because I have four amazing children all waiting for me to come home."


Sitting up in her hospital bed, buoyed by the goodwill messages around her, Sara fiddles constantly with her newly cropped hairstyle. "I always said I was going to cut it short when I turned 40, and now seemed as good a time as any," she declares.


"But after so many years of long hair, this is going to take some getting used to. It's a new look for a new chapter in my life - and I love it."


The stroke has left her without movement down her left side. "I know I've got a mountain to climb," says plucky Sara, her speech slightly slurred.


Then, recalling how she first had brain surgery to fix the anuerysm - a swollen blood vessel - back in 2008, she added: "And it's the second mountain in 18 months. Except this time round it feels more like Everest. Plus, I have to deal with the paralysis, which is hard on everyone. But I've done it once and I'm determined I can do it again."


Doctors have told Sara she will need many months of intensive physiotherapy to try and regain the use of her arm and leg. Painfully thin after losing two stones, she knows recovery will be a lengthy process.



Sarah's Law campaigner Sara Payne's moving interview after brain op

"Getting home is my priority but I've got to take it slowly and be patient," she says. "There is some feeling down my left side which is good. But the doctors have faith and know I'm a fighter."


Sara fell ill in the week before Christmas at her home in Hersham, Surrey. She recalls: "We'd all just finished decorating our enormous Christmas tree in the lounge. I went upstairs as I had a bad headache.


"My partner immediately recognised the signs of a stroke from the 'Act Fast' TV ads and sent for an ambulance because my arm and face had drooped.


"Doctors said his quick-thinking probably saved my life. When the local Chertsey hospital transferred me to the neurological unit at St George's in Tooting I realised it was serious - because that's where I had the original surgery.


"At that point I became very, very scared. Before the operation I said to my partner, 'I can't go through all this again'. I know that worried the family because they thought I was giving up, which isn't like me at all."


It was one more drama to pile the pressure on this remarkable woman who won the nation's heart with her astonishing show of dignity and courage following the abduction and murder of her eight-year-old daughter Sarah by convicted paedophile Roy Whiting in July 2000.


Voices

Now mum to Lee, 22, Luke 21, Charlotte, 15, and six-year-old Ellie, Sara says: "You can't imagine what something like this does - not just to me, but all of us.


"It's all the children have come to know in their short lives, illness and death in the family. And it really frightens all of them."


Following her operation Sara then had to have further surgery after complications, followed by intensive care on a ventilator for two weeks. "I remember waking up and hearing voices of family and friends," says Sara. "But I couldn't see or speak to them and that was hugely frustrating.


"My mind seemed to be working fine but all I could do was squeeze their hands. But hearing those voices was such a comfort."


But the family had a secret weapon that was about to boost brave Sara's chances - news that she'd just become a grandmother for the second time as Luke's girlfriend Layla gave birth to baby Alfie just after Christmas.

LEAVE YOUR MESSAGES OF SUPPORT FOR SARA BELOW

Beaming with pride, Sara caresses a photo of her new grandson and smiles: "The arrival of Alfie was just the tonic I needed. Apparently when they finally removed the ventilator and I was able to speak my first words were 'Alfie! Alfie!'


"I was so desperate to see him, but the doctors weren't too happy about bringing a newborn into intensive care!


"So the family brought a picture instead, which really cheered me up.


"I just love being a granny. And I'm more determined than ever to get better so that one day I'll be able kick a football around with him in the back yard." Sitting beside Sara, new dad Luke chips in: "Mum was lying in bed like a vegetable. She hadn't said a word since her operations and the nurses told us to expect the worst.


"But after she heard about Alfie being born she started showing signs of improvement. It was an amazing breakthrough and it was all down to Alfie."


Appointed the Government's independent Victims Champion last year, Sara has campaigned tirelessly for Sarah's Law - a range of measures to make Britain safer for children. And she remains as upbeat as ever.


Tough

Talking about the Government's plan to roll out the Sarah's Law pilot scheme nationwide, revealed by us last week, Sara picks up a copy of the paper and grins.


"Reading the News of the World made me feel a whole lot better," she insists. "But it's important to remember that we wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for all the millions of readers who signed that original petition 10 years ago. Without their support there wouldn't be a Sarah's Law. I'll never forget that."


Of her personal tragedies, she says: "Yes life has been tough, but I don't think its been tougher than anyone else's life. I guess our family has just been a bit unlucky recently.


"Sometimes in life, you don't have a choice, so you just get on with it. I'll be fine, I'll get there eventually.


Despite the enormity of the recovery ahead of her, Sara's immediate thoughts turn to Christmas.


"I get sad thinking about how I missed Christmas with the family," she says. "And it wasn't much of one for them either.


"So as soon as I'm out of hospital, they've promised me Christmas all over again, even if that's in the summer. Turkey, crackers, presents the lot!"

Get This woman honoured with whatever the womens' equivalent of a knighthood is *Now* -What has been more honourable or noble than rising from the tragedy of her loss to being an effective leader in the fight for the protection of all the children in the UK? There are people being honoured more for kicking a ball about a pitch- for a lot of money- or other celebrity occupations that earn them enough monetary reward as it is. Time to Show real recognition where it's due.

Get well soon Sara, The kids still need you.

By Chloe Savage.. Posted January 31 2010 at 9:57 AM.


How painful it must be for Sara. To want to be with Sarah but also with her other children.

I have a beautiful toddler and had lost a baby in pregnancy before had him. That was painful enough and I can only look at my child now and imagine the horror of losing him (by illness, accident or an evil way like Sarah).

We all know Sara is a very strong woman. I have so much respect for her and will always remember her and her daughter Sarah. Most of us are strong people, but I know for me, I doubt could be as strong as her if lost my child. I've been through a lot of trauma but to lose a child - well that would be the most traumatic.

An inspirational woman by far.

By Giordani.. Posted January 31 2010 at 9:55 AM.



Sara you are an amazing person and truely inspiring. You have through a lot, but you are a surviver, and I am sure you will get through all this, given time. Your family are there right behind you in love and support, and we be thinking of you too and we wish you lots of love and a full recovery.

Congratulations on the birth of your little grandson Sara.

Sarah has been your angel guiding you and it wasn't time for you to join her just yet. There are other things in life for you to enjoy and experience, one day she will see you but the last thing she wants is for you to meet her too soon. Congratulations on the birth of your grandson. Hold him and know that because of you he is going to grow up in a safer world. XXX

I Totally admired this lady and cannot believe what she has gone through for sticking up for what she believes in and not letting it rest.As a parent now ive always wanted to thank her and now shes ended up like this. What are people going to have to do to listen? Yes there going to have to do what sara has done, to end up like this? Come on enough is enough government.She shouldnt have even been in the situation in the first place! But what is the point in me saying this it wont get anywhere. Im fed up of theres nothing we can do, but as soon as something happens out of the uk they are there, which gives them a good impression of the uk. Its all crap. Sorry but im talking of medical experience of stupid uk medical beliefs

Ex-housemate Katia poses for raunchy photoshoot


SHE'S REAR-LY HOT: In suspenders
By Jennifer Wiley, 31/01/2010

IT'S Kit-off Kat - as Ronnie Wood's ex reveals the attributes fellow CBB contestant Jonas Altberg lusted after.

But curvy Katia Ivanova has been ignoring her CBB "boyfriend" - better known as the DJ Basshunter - since he was evicted in the Friday final.


Instead she has been focusing on upping her celebrity profile by peeling off in this appealing photoshoot.


And while she may not have fitted into the Celebrity Big Brother house, she looks right at home wearing next to nothing in these gentlemen's club scenes. Probably because she used to be a gentlemen's club hostess...


Meanwhile Jonas didn't spend long licking his wounds after being shunned by Katia at Friday's post-show party.



CBB Blog: 'The best Big Brother EVER!'


A couple of hours later, he chatted up a pretty brunette at a nightclub and took her back to his central London hotel. But earlier that evening he admitted to the News of the World he had been desperate to BBed Katia in the house.


The randy DJ told us: "I'm not shy, I'm 25, I'm Swedish, I'm single and I love sex."


But yesterday, after getting the cold shoulder, he insisted he did NOT want a relationship with the ravishing Russian.


Since leaving the house, Kat - who split from wrinkly Rolling Stone Ronnie, 62, last month - has been snapped clubbing with fellow evictee Lady Sovereign.


Mind you, Kat herself is pure gold in these snaps...


FOR more great pictures of Katia plus her interview, see the new Loaded magazine, on sale now.

Ravashing? Sorry, but she looks as cheap as chips, what celebrity profile could she possibly have? First she lived off Ronnie Woods name, then BassHunter Jonas and Now Lady Sovrein.. what a classy worm - NOT.

By Loxy.. Posted January 31 2010 at 10:09 AM.


Katia was not popular in the house but Jonas acted like an idiot when he came out on Friday trying to publicly humiliate her to make him self look good I am very pleased he did not win he has allot of growing up to do. Good luck to Katia she does not deserve to be hated so much she is incredibly attractive but does not flaunt it in a high heels and make up slutty way in everyday day to day dress.

By mel.. Posted January 31 2010 at 9:12 AM.


And here is another z lister trying to scrape a living showing all she has got, Katia is nothing but a vile marrige breaker and should return back to her former life she is just a low life with proberly no future unless its to take her kit off !!!!!!!!!!

By alex.. Posted January 31 2010 at 8:55 AM.


Missing? Errr... I think not! She's trash, pure trash... Jonas is worth so much more!

By Chantal Stevens.. Posted January 31 2010 at 8:38 AM.

Eurgh...She has got scrubber written all over her. Regardless to this nice lingerie she may have on. Cheap cheap cheap........jog on love.

AND HE'S OFF: Terry driving away from Vanessa's house after their secret tryst

By Guy Basnett, 31/01/2010

ENGLAND Captain John Terry made his lover pregnant - then paid for her to have an abortion.

Married Terry - whose bid to stop us exposing his affair was thrown out by the High Court on Friday - was at the bedside of secret mistress Vanessa Perroncel for the procedure in a private clinic.


Afterwards he gave her £20,000 to "cheer herself up".


Terry organised the abortion for his secret mistress just weeks into their affair.

READ: Are you sleeping with my man?

Lingerie model Vanessa, ex-partner of Terry's England team-mate Wayne Bridge, got pregnant at the beginning or their relationship, the News of the World can reveal.


A source close to the French beauty revealed that she was worried because the lovers hadn't used protection. A fortnight later, tests confirmed she was carrying married Terry's child. And around seven weeks into the pregnancy the pair decided the baby should be aborted.

BUY TODAY'S NEWS OF THE WORLD TO SEE EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS OF JOHN TERRY AND MISTRESS

The revelation will stun Terry's loyal wife Toni Poole, 28, and throws fresh doubt over his ability to captain England just five months before the World Cup.


After we discovered the four month affair, the Chelsea defender won a High Court gagging order last week to stop us publishing the story. But on Friday it was overturned.

Closer
Our source revealed that Terry, 29, did not pressure Vanessa to have an abortion - it was a joint decision.


She had the procedure under general anaesthetic at a private clinic in London. The News of the World understands that Terry wanted to be there and asked for special permission to leave an England training camp early so he could go.


But he was late so the operation was delayed. The experience brought them closer together, said our source. They felt the situation had bonded their relationship.


And last night Vanessa, 33, spoke for the first time about the affair.


She said Bridge - father of her three year old son - only found out about it after Terry's attempts to gag the News of the World.


She said: "Wayne rang me last weekend and started shouting at me and accusing me of having an affair. It was terrible. He was saying horrible things." She said Bridge did not believe what she said, adding: "Wayne was convinced I had been cheating on him because the court action had been taken. It was an agonising call and he was furious."


Last night we put the abortion story to Chelsea's press spokesman, who said they had nothing to add to a previous statement of support for Terry.

Vanessa is said to be considering her next move after hiring publicist Max Clifford, who refused to comment.


But the News of the World can reveal Terry has been bedding Vanessa TWICE A WEEK behind his wife's back since September.


The affair the Chelsea star tried to hide from the world began after his pal Bridge left Chelsea for Manchester City last year. Terry kept it under wraps until we caught him sneaking off to her home for secret romps after away games and training. He had already laid the groundwork by flirting heavily with leggy Vanessa while Bridge was still at Chelsea - KISSING and playing FOOTSIE with her under his wife's nose on team nights out.


As the affair gathered pace he even began canoodling with her in public.


Wayne, 29, and Vanessa eventually split last summer after his move to City in January last year. So Terry began comforting the French model.


"It may have started as a bit of friendship and support as early as last January, but it quickly grew from there last September," said another source. "He was going round there about twice a week or so, normally after training, on his way home. Or, if Chelsea had played an away game he would call Toni and say the team was due back at say 11pm, rather than 9pm.


"Then he could stop off at Vanessa's for a couple of hours."


Terry was careful to hide his car during his visits. "Vanessa has these big gates into the drive," said our source. "He would swing in in his Bentley, and tuck it behind her Range Rover.


"They couldn't really do much as a couple. He'd be recognised immediately. So they spent most of their time meeting secretly at her house."


The damning pictures here that Terry didn't want you to see were taken on January 13 at the home of Vanessa, mother of Bridge's three- year-old son, Jaydon, in Oxshott, Surrey.


Terry arrived in his dark blue £130,000 Bentley Continental at around 2pm shortly after leaving a training session at Chelsea's nearby Cobham training ground.


Parking his car alongside the brunette's £2million mock-Georgian house - hidden from the road by her black Range Rover - he went in as her young son played in the snow.


Over an hour and a half later he emerged from the five-bedroom house grinning as Vanessa saw him out. Terry, in a grey tracksuit over a white T-shirt, seemed to share a joke with her as they said goodbye. He then drove the mile or so to his own £4million home where wife Toni and their three-year-old twins, Georgie and Summer, were waiting, convinced his nasty little secret was safe.


The England star - worth £17million - has known the model and actress since her days working as a London club hostess. Close friends of the pair said there has long been a chemistry between them.


"Terry loves brunettes, and always has done," said a pal. "He would always look pretty doe-eyed when he was around Vanessa."


Even after Terry married blonde Toni at Blenheim Palace, in Oxfordshire, in June 2007, he still flirted with Vanessa. Pals remember boozy nights when the Chelsea gang, including Terry and Toni, Bridge and Vanessa, Frank Lampard and Elen Rives, and Joe Cole and Carly Zucker would hit the town.


One friend said: "There was one night when some of them sat in a circle for a drinking game, and you had to kiss the person to one side.


"He kissed Vanessa, but the kiss was a bit longer than it should have been.


"There were other nights where he would be quite drunk on the way home in the car, and end up playing footsie with Vanessa, while Toni was there. One night when he was doing it Toni smacked his leg and said, 'That's my foot, you idiot'.


"Toni just seemed to put up with it all. I don't know if she's become more suspicious recently, but she has dyed her hair brown. Everyone thinks it's to match Vanessa."


Terry first realised he was in danger of being exposed when rumours of a rift with Bridge began to circulate.


He then called in the lawyers and on January 22 won a so-called 'super- injunction' preventing us from revealing the alleged affair, or even the fact there was an injunction.


His lawyers had argued that publishing the claims would breach his right to a 'private and family life' under EU human rights law. But on Friday Justice Michael Tugendhat ruled the rumours were too widely known in the media, footballing circles and beyond, to be protected by law. And he decided Terry was more interested in preserving his earnings than his reputation.


The judge said privacy law did not exist to protect sponsorship deals.


Terry was yesterday still insisting there had been no affair. He has told Toni they are just friends.


Our source said: "The truth is he's gutted his best mate and left his wife devastated while pretending to be a family man. But he's just a low-life cheat."

Authorities to plant tulle, install biofilters to clean up Atitlán lake - Guatemala

Guatemala's protected areas authority Conap will start planting tulle in Atitlán lake in Sololá province by March, Conap's Atitlán technical unit director Juan Mendoza told BNamericas.





Tulle acts as a natural filter and will help clean up the highly contaminated lake, Mendoza said, adding that if all goes according to schedule, tulle will be fully planted in specific areas by June.


Conap has already identified where to plant the tulle as it must be planted in shallow waters where there are no rocks.


The initiative will require an investment of approximately 500,000 quetzals (US$60,130), according to Mendoza.


BIOFILTERS


Conap also plans to install biofilters in certain areas of the lake. This week Conap - together with authorities from the Amatitlán lake sustainable use authority Amsa - finished a study to determine the feasibility of this initiative.


"The results will be available by next week and once we have this technical information we will develop the possible solutions to the problem and present them to the committee responsible for coordinating the Atitlán cleanup," Mendoza said.


Both the tulle and biofilters will prevent waste from spreading into the lake and, in addition, tulle provides a habitat for flora and fauna, said Mendoza.


The feasibility study carried out by Amsa and Conap cost 100,000 quetzals (US$12,000) and, once the conclusions are reached, authorities will determine the exact amount required for the installation and maintenance of the tulle and biofilters.


These actions are part of environment ministry Marn's 310mn quetzal (US$37.4mn) plan to clean up Atitlán lake, which currently has high levels of cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae. The algae's proliferation is caused by the presence of domestic waste and untreated wastewater in the lake.


The overall plan also involves building wastewater treatment plants, septic tanks, sanitary sewerage systems, closing down unauthorized garbage dumps, the gradual prohibition of inorganic fertilizers and chemical soaps, technical and economic support for municipalities in the province, and sanctions for domestic and industrial users caught polluting the lake.

Mexican Colima state's Manzanillo port expects to experience 8% growth in container traffic during 2010, port authority API Manzanillo's commercial director Pamela de la Vega Tirado told BNamericas.





The terminal will benefit from the return of Maersk, Hamburg Sud, CCNI and CSAV this year, as well as the incorporation of new ships from other shipping lines, de la Vega said.


One of the major projects this year will be construction of a new 10bn-peso (US$767mn) container terminal. The work will be carried out by Philippine firm International Container Terminal Services (ICTSI), which was awarded the 34-year concession to build and operate the terminal in November.


Grupo Mexico, which formed part of a rival consortium bidding for the concession, appealed against the decision to award the terminal to ICTSI, citing "irregularities" in the tender process.


API Manzanillo did not comment on the appeal process, saying only that the national port authority will emit a ruling in due course.


The final concession contract with ICTSI will be signed by end-February, de la Vega said.


LOGISTICS AGREEMENT


API Manzanillo recently signed an MOU with cargo distribution company Ferrocarril del Valle (Ferrovalle) to promote improved transport logistics between port and rail services.


The agreement aims to increase competitiveness on the Manzanillo-México logistics corridor, which moved around 9,000 containers from September to December last year, according to the port authority.


"We want our importers and exporters to be sure that we are working to offer them more and better rail infrastructure and, above all, more efficient and faster dispatch processes," de la Vega said.


The port authority plans to sign similar agreements with the Guanajuato inland port and San Antonio port in Texas in the coming year, de la Vega added.

Chile, the world's number one copper producer, turned out 5.41Mt of the red metal last year, 0.8% more than in 2008, while December production rose 3.8% year-on-year to 501,950t, national statistics bureau INE reported.





Last month's increase was mainly the result of higher copper in concentrate output of 231,202t, up 14.5% compared to December 2008. Cathode production fell 7.2% in the same period due partly to labor disputes, INE said in its monthly bulletin.


Molybdenum output fell 25.8% year-on-year to 2,667t in December while full year 2009 production rose 3.9% to 34,954t, INE added. In other metals, December production of silver increased 4%, iron ore rose 3.8% and gold went up 17.2%.


Overall mining production rose 0.1% in 2009 and 1.7% in December alone, year-on-year, according to the INE's mining index.

Latin American enterprises with 1,000-5,000 workers are driving the adoption of storage and security solutions via cloud computing, US security software firm Symantec's (Nasdaq: SYMC) regional vice president, Wilson Grava, told BNamericas.





The largest companies in Latin America tend to shy away from the cloud, opting instead to use their own resources to implement such solutions, Grava said.


"We've seen the greatest success and greatest adoption from companies that are slightly smaller," he said. "They're not large enterprises, but rather enterprises with 1,000-5,000 workers and need a model that is more cost-effective."


Latin American SMEs are starting to consider the cloud for security and storage, but Grava forecast that this trend will not pick up significantly until 2011-12.


Symantec has identified cloud computing as one of its top priorities for the remainder of its FY10, which will end in March.


The company posted revenues of US$824mn in the Americas during its fiscal 3Q10, ended January 1, which was flat in comparison to the year-ago period.


Global sales crept up 1% year-over-year to US$1.55bn, while net profits were US$300mn, in comparison to a net loss of US$6.82bn in the year-ago period.


In Latin America, Symantec has offices in Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Guatemala, Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico and Puerto Rico. The company also has demo labs in Brazil and Mexico and a support center in Chile.

The Brazilian government's decision to extend the value added tax (ICMS) exemption for the wind power sector is a relief for the entire industry, Pedro Perrelli, executive director of the Brazilian wind power association ABEEólica, told BNamericas.





"The decision will benefit not only the wind power sector but also consumers. If turbine and equipment makers pay fewer taxes and it becomes cheaper to install a wind farm, the generated power rates will decrease too," he said.


According to Perrelli, ICMS payments can reach up to 17% of the total cost of a wind farm.


"Turbines make up nearly 70% of the costs of a wind farm. So it is easy to understand how much the industry can benefit from any tax exemption," the executive added.


The Brazilian council of state finance secretaries Confaz signed the documents for the ICMS exemption on January 20.


Makers of equipment and any component involved in the construction of wind farms will be exempt from the tax until January 2012.


Last year, Confaz said the benefit would expire in January 2010.


"The decision shows that federal and state governments are really committed to the wind power sector, which reassures investors and related industries," Perrelli said.

Latin America's mobile phone market shrunk in the fourth quarter, though the performance marked an improvement from the double-digit declines posted in previous quarters, consultancy IDC said in a statement.





"Stronger Brazilian currency pushed prices for mobile phone imports lower, spurring greater demand. In Argentina, channel partners purchased additional products ahead of a new tax rate that came into effect in December," IDC said.


"Finally, the popularity of pre-paid service options across the regions included more converged mobile devices, stoking greater demand from vendors."


According to IDC's worldwide mobile phone tracker, globally the mobile phone market grew 11.3% in 4Q09, ending five quarters of entrenchment.


In 2009, vendors shipped a total of 1.13bn units, down 5.2% from the 1.19bn units shipped in 2008.

According to IDC senior analyst Kevin Restivo, the Asia Pacific region and the US were primarily responsible for stimulating the growth in Q4.


One area of the market that has consistently shown growth all year is the converged mobile device market, which grew some 30% and will continue to grow in 2010 as selection increases and prices come down, according to IDC senior research analyst Ramon Llamas.


"Consumer tastes for mobile phones have increasingly shifted from simple voice telephony to greater data usage, and both handset vendors and carriers have been eager to meet demand despite ongoing economic challenges," he said.


Nokia (NYSE: NOK) saw its global market share slip in 2009 to 38.4% from 39.4%, Samsung's share rose to 20.1% from 16.5% and LG's rose to 10.5% from 8.5%.


The losers were Sony Ericsson whose market share fell to 5.1% from 8.1% and Motorola (NYSE: MOT) whose share fell to 4.9% from 8.4%.


Restivo told BNamericas that Samsung and LG have been successful in introducing more multimedia functions, which are normally associated with more high-end smartphones, to lower cost phones.


"What carriers like about them is the data attach rate, and data is the next frontier. Voice Arpu is on the way down and carriers and manufacturers alike are seeking to sell more data plans and more data oriented phones... to a consumer without the cost of a smartphone," Restivo said.


"I think that Samsung and LG are doing a good job of selling a lot of the smartphone functions in the traditional phone package," he added.


With respect to smartphones, IDC said a few weeks ago the region is expected to ship 11mn smartphones in 2010, a significant recovery from 7mn in 2009 and 9mn in 2008.

CricBuzzback to latest newsJanuary 31, 2010 18:22
Pakistan chief selector Iqbal Qasim has tendered his resignation following Pakistan's disastrous show Down Under.

Australia clean-swept the ODI series as well as the Test series against Pakistan.

"I am very disappointed, like millions of Pakistanis, over the manner in which the Pakistan team lost the Test series 3-0 and one day series 5-0," Qasim told AFP.

"As I am responsible for the selection of the team, I quit from my post."

Earlier, Qasim had said a 'major surgery' was required on the Pakistan ODI team.

Speaking to the Dawn, Qasim had said, "No one can defend the team's pathetic performance in Australia and obviously a major surgery is the need of the time."

"But it is not appropriate to initiate the process during a series; so let them get free from the tour," he had mentioned.

Meanwhile, PCB chairman Ejaz Butt ruled out a complete overhaul of the team after their disastrous tour of Australia but said a younger skipper will replace Mohammad Yousuf.

"Ideally, a younger player could have been chosen to lead Pakistan, but Australia is not the place to experiment. So, the choice fell on the senior-most player Mohammad Yousuf. Now we would like to hand over the reins to a younger captain who can lead the side for a longer period," Butt told a television channel.

Butt said the board had appointed Younus Khan as captain last year with a view to have him in this position for a long time.

"Unfortunately, the National Assembly standing committee on sports made allegations against him and this caused him great distress and he decided to not play for a while upsetting our plans," he said.

The PCB chief said he was not a supporter of the culture of frequent changes in the captaincy and team management but circumstances forced the board to take short-term decisions.

He also said that the selectors would be looking at inducting some new players into the team.

"Complete overhaul is not possible and we will gradually start inducting new players into the side. There is plenty of talent in our cricket and we can even now replace the entire fast bowling line up but we don't want to take hasty decisions," he said.

CricBuzzback to latest newsJanuary 30, 2010 11:47
Following Pakistan's dismal performance in the ODI series Down under, chief selector Iqbal Qasim said a 'major surgery' is required on the ODI team.

Speaking to the Dawn, Qasim said, "No one can defend the team's pathetic performance in Australia and obviously a major surgery is the need of the time."

"But it is not appropriate to initiate the process during a series; so let them get free from the tour," he added.

Qasim said he would sit with the team management and analyse Pakistan's poor performance in Australia.

"The reports from the team manager and coach will be very important. Then we will have to sit down with the captain and listen to his views. That will help us find what really went wrong in Australia."

Speaking about the preparations for the World Cup, Qasim said "Preparing for the World Cup is definitely our biggest task and hopefully with a combined effort, we will send a strong team for the tournament."

'Dollhouse' gives fans closure
Posted: 12:27 PM ET

Warning: Do not read if you haven't seen the series finale of "Dollhouse."

When "Dollhouse" started last year, it seemed fairly sub-par for a series by the ingenious Joss Whedon. Every episode would consist of Echo, one of many "actives," having a different personality uploaded into her brain, usually one fraught with potential danger. But then the straight-to-DVD season finale "Epitaph One," which followed the concept to its logical conclusion, showed the series' full potential. Now, thanks in large part to DVRs and online streaming, the show got a full second season, wrapping up Friday night with "Epitaph Two: Return."

For me, the show really started picking up after it was already canceled. It was extraordinary to see the almost-soulless Topher become someone to root for, the ruthless Adelle becoming a kind mother figure, and Victor aka Tony going from a "dumb show" to one of the most exciting characters to watch. All that said, I don't know if I quite bought Alpha so quickly as "one of the good guys" (but hey, it was several years later). Clearly a lot of the credit for this goes to the top-notch cast - chief among them, young Adair Tishler, who chillingly portrayed an active with a psychopath in her head in "Epitaph One," and had Caroline aka the real Echo's personality here.

What started out as a bit of a departure for Whedon over the last few weeks started to be classic Joss, supporting characters so strong they almost outshined the lead, plot twists (and twists upon twists) galore, and sudden deaths of characters (at least one per episode, plus a couple we saw coming, for the last three weeks). How bittersweet to see Paul gunned down, and Topher, who would go on to die saving the people whose minds he had wiped, touching a monitor with the image of his beloved Bennett.

Despite this turning out to be one of the darker series he had ever done (though "Angel" might still have it beat), Whedon gave most of the characters quite a happy ending, including Echo, the only active remaining, with Paul keeping her company inside her head for a lifetime.

What did you think? Did "Dollhouse's" end live up to the promise of "Epitaph One," and the past few weeks? Sound off on video, or in the comments below.

Joss Whedon has never really been given a good chance to get his shows off the ground.

I have really liked his material and ideas. Those darn Networks don't really give him a chance to shine.

My point?

Firefly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its sort of like they don't really get it! What is Joss going to have to do with Dollhouse? Have Universal Pictures make another movie out of a TV Series? Did they not get it the first time?

Aparently not! It's Ok, I think these cast members will get to make real money in their Movie.

Hey what can I say, Serenity was great and I am sure that all of the actors, including Nathan Fillion, Alan Tyduk, Summer Glau, and Jewel Statie enjoyed the big bucks from the film. Heck I know I would have!

So to Joss and his crews. I have the best idea ever. Why don't you take your programs over to the Sci-Fi Channel, like the folks did with Stargate and Battlestar Galactica and make your Multi-Season Miniseries films and shows there. I'll just bet they would love to have you!

Keep up the good work Joss! I think the crews from any of the show you have done would be happy to step back in line for your work. I know if you asked me, I'd be happy to fill a part in a heartbeat, no matter the type!


Heatheranne January 31st, 2010 6:05 pm ET

I am glad that Dollhouse was allowed by Fox to finish out the storyline. So many networks cancel shows without giving fans closure.

I also feel now that Dollhouse was meant to be only a two season show. It is perfect that way it is and in true Joss style he satisfied me and broke my heart at the same time. Joss' style is very niche and I love that. His style reminds me of more British TV writing where shows are only meant to last a short while rather than 6 or more seasons. Sometimes it dilutes the story when that happens. Yes, I would have love to spent more time with the characters but the storyline and timeline is and are perfect.

I cannot wait for my next adventure with Joss.


Chris January 31st, 2010 6:18 pm ET

This was an ending that I thought was brilliant. Dark, engaging but tinged with hope. Joss shoed again why he is a master at this game, even if not enough people tend to watch his shows.


Joe January 31st, 2010 6:28 pm ET

Thats so true. After canelation it picked up and the story was great and intense. Great ending. Too bad stations cancel great programs Firefly for one.


JD January 31st, 2010 6:33 pm ET

never watched it after the chose it over T:SCC. Come to think of it I have not watched a FOX prime-time show since. Not buying the "kudos for Fox" for letting it play out. Short sighted folks they are. Hope those of you that bought in enjoyed it. You got more than any of us that liked T:SCC ever got from those folks.


Joe January 31st, 2010 6:40 pm ET

One of the better Whedon endings at least you don't have to buy two years of comic books to see how it ends then have it restart when the sales go through the roof. I thought the giant twist with Boyd had nothing on Lost. It needed another hour to clear up what happened between the end of the last episode to Epitaph One. I didn't buy Alpha as a good guy either. It got a choice to have an ending which for most shows out there never even get close to.


James A. January 31st, 2010 6:47 pm ET

I'm actually starting to think Joss should focus more on the mini-series (or maxi-series) type shows, rather than ongoings. His stuff is incredibly thrilling when he's got a set amount of time to tell a story in and can plan accordingly. When there's no specific end to work towards, he falls into the pattern of using weaker filler episodes which detract from the core story... although there are certainly a number of filler episodes from each of his series that are stand-alone classics in their own right.

Dr. Horrible's a great example of what he can do when he has limitations. He was working with his own money and a bunch of volunteers, and it's arguably one of the most moving things he's ever created. On the flip side you've got a show like Dollhouse where he had plenty of money (at least initially) and it didn't really find its stride until it no longer had free rein, in time or in money.

I'd love to see him do a 2 or 3 season series that was plotted out from the get-go. Something where he knew exactly what story he was telling and how he was going to tell it before production began. I think then we would really see the best work he could produce.


Andrew January 31st, 2010 6:57 pm ET

Yeah, the show definitely picked up after it got cancelled. I didn't watch regularly but I would watch every now and then since my wife was a fan. I knew this show wasn't going to last from the beginning but at least it finished strong. I think the final episode would have been better if they were able to make it two hours.


Andulamb January 31st, 2010 7:09 pm ET

I really hope that DVD sales will benefit from Fox allowing the series to have an ending, and that this practice will become the norm for canceled series.


TC January 31st, 2010 7:15 pm ET

Yet another Whedon show that I promise myself I won't get addicted to and end up LOVING. Ever since "Dollhouse" started I held my breath waiting for FOX to screw me by canceling it. I really wish Whedon would do his next series with the SciFi channel, maybe they would let him fully develop his storyline.

Whedon's shows are always slow starters. "Dollhouse" came up to speed earlier than some and the last season was classic Whedon; smart writing, exceptional supporting characters, semi-obscure pop culture references, twists you never see coming, a bizarre fascination with nubile female characters who can kick ass...LOVE IT!

Just as with "Firefly", I will miss what "Dollhouse" could have been. It is insane that this gets canceled after two seasons and any of those brainless banal reality shows runs for half a decade or more [Big Brother 12 anyone?]. No wonder all the adventurous programming has moved to the cable networks (Are you listening Mr Whedon? Move to cable for the next one. Maybe they will support quality programming.)


Logan January 31st, 2010 7:16 pm ET

The reason Dollhouse picked up and go thrilling after cancellation is because Fox gave up pushing for the "stand alone" episodes they considered "more accessible to casual viewers". The problem, in my opinion, largely lies with Fox not being able to have their cake and eat it too. If they want instant ratings and casual viewers, they need to stick with reality shows and sitcoms. But if they want edgy, meaty shows that gather a following and achieve cult status, they need to be a little more patient and give those shows time to build a following and stop expecting them to follow a formula. Joss Whedon isn' t the only great showrunner to suffer from Fox's short-sightedness. Poor Tim Minear. Anyone remember Drive or The Inside?


E January 31st, 2010 7:18 pm ET

Since Epitaph One never aired on TV, I was completely confused for much of the finale. I love Joss, but this show was a huge disappointment after the amount of years he spent developing it.

Dr. Horrible was far better. Maybe Joss should stick to self produced movies.


Johann January 31st, 2010 7:24 pm ET

Good episode, enjoyed the series.

Reaction of three of watching the show together when Paul got shot: "WASH!"




David January 31st, 2010 7:33 pm ET

I wish Syfy or USA Network or TNT had picked it up.

I mean, it had the same ratings as Damages, Battlestar Galactica, certainly Mad Men. It wasn't that expensive to produce, right?


Jjurado January 31st, 2010 7:52 pm ET

I have never forgiven Joss for killing off Wash and Book in Serenity and he has added the deaths of Paul and Topher to my list of grievances. I can't fault the logic and the storytelling and all of those deaths were brilliant, gut wrenching moments from a purely story perspective... but still... Ouch.

Only the loading of Paul's imprint into Alpha's matrix a few episodes back allowed me to "buy" Alpha as a good guy. As a fan of the show, I can believe that only Paul's inherent nobility could rein in Alpha's psychotic instincts.

I am very sad to see the show go. As a fan of many of Joss Whedon's ventures, I could see the potential from the beginning, but also could see why so many are saying the show only his its stride during season 2.

I will be waiting patiently for Joss Whedon's next adventures and hoping that this time he will be allowed to take his tale through its entire arc without having to force it to maturity with the threat of cancellation hanging over its head.


Kenny January 31st, 2010 7:54 pm ET

I watched the very first episode and that was it for me.


lmashell January 31st, 2010 8:04 pm ET

I actually saw a comment on another blog by someone who only watched a few season one eps, then tuned in for the finale and was upset they couldn't figure out what was going on!

The 'bad' eps of Dollhouse were definitely the stand-alone eps, while all the eps around the underlying story were fantastic. I loved the ending, and when I get season 2 DVD's I plan to watch the whole thing over in a marathon viewing session. Popcorn and Dollhouse at my place! Come on over!


Karl January 31st, 2010 8:26 pm ET

I have liked Eliza Dushku every since she showed up on Buffy and I look forward to seeing alot of her in the future. If Dollhouse had been what the last few shows were from the beginning we probably would have seen more seasons. Unfortunately Dollhouse, or what many people have affectionately called "Whorehouse" was nothing more than a show about beautiful women being programmed to have sex with super rich clients. Eliza being a producer on the show could have changed this Idiotic scenario but chose not to.
Oh Well, Lessons Learned.


Sarah Connor January 31st, 2010 8:32 pm ET

This bogus show replaced one of the top shows on TV. Perhaps it was too costly to produce, but in my opinion, the network didn't have the gots to stick with it. It moved to Friday night at some point which is the kiss of death for any show with a younger audience. Still bitter here for sure.


bridgemo January 31st, 2010 8:41 pm ET

Alpha had Paul's brain downloaded in him and that enabled him to be good.

They did good at tying up loose ends except for what happened to the folks in the Attic so we don't know what happened to Dominic.

Yes, it did start out weak but I think that was due to Fox's influence. Next time he gets a contract he needs to get the freedom to do what he needs not what they want him to do


TC January 31st, 2010 8:45 pm ET

BRING BACK FIREFLY!!!


Henry in WV January 31st, 2010 8:48 pm ET

Too bad it's off the air.It was definitely one of my favorite shows.CSI:Whatever was getting tired as was Law and Order.
But like Fringe and Lie To Me it was one possibility to where our tech
is leading us anyways. They had several more seasons in the idea before it became lame.Maybe there will be a Dollhouse movie.I'd see that for sure.


Brendan January 31st, 2010 9:14 pm ET

Dollhouse was a really good show that was never supported properly. No good lead and no strong backup....

The finale was a satisfying end to the tale, but there were so many stories that we never really got to hear. Can't wait for the 2nd season on DVD and hope that Joss et al have lots of commentary...

and that his next series is given a real chance on a network that isn't more interested in American Idol than on character driven shows.


Hokey January 31st, 2010 9:46 pm ET

I love Joss, and this is just another example of his outstanding brain in action.

The reason his shows keep getting cancelled is that he does not appeal to the lowest-common-denominator... and in the immortal words of someone-or-other:

"The problem with sci-fi is that is is expensive to make, but always looks cheap"

His shows just cost too much to make compared to the advertising revenue they can generate. Not his fault, just the way it is.


Marnie January 31st, 2010 9:47 pm ET

Loved Buffy, loved Angel, love Firefly. Hated Dollhouse.


Eden January 31st, 2010 9:49 pm ET

I really disliked the whole concept of women not being in control of their minds and bodies, and gave up on Dollhouse after a few episodes. Joss, you can do better.


Christopher January 31st, 2010 9:54 pm ET

Karl, you obviously didn't watch the show past the first couple of season 1 episodes.


Tom January 31st, 2010 10:01 pm ET

Hey!!! How about a spoiler alert! I didn't realize that last 3 episodes were available! Great show. Too bad it was on FOX.


chris January 31st, 2010 10:12 pm ET

Eden, that was why the people on the show were not good guys. It was unconventional story telling; main characters were devious little monsters.


chris January 31st, 2010 10:13 pm ET

And you missed out on one of the strongest female characters Joss has produced because you quit watching.


baby boomer January 31st, 2010 10:19 pm ET

This is the only show I recorded on the DVR to be sure and watch. Speaks for itself


don January 31st, 2010 10:23 pm ET

This is other than the last 6 episodes the show was slow as hell.
It was almost unbearable and i didn't care about any of the characters.
Finally after it gets cancelled they made the show what it should have been all along.


Sarah January 31st, 2010 10:24 pm ET

I wish, like so many people do, that the series had more time. I wanted to be more invested in Echo/Paul's relationship, to legitimately CARE about them being together. I wanted to see Alpha's transition. I wanted to see Topher slipping out of sanity. That being said, the ultimate point of the series worked and was executed beautifully.

I thought it was poignant that Echo had become disenchanted and no longer had fantasies, and while she was the savior of the world, she was always fundamentally alone. That's why giving her Paul in the end was such a great moment. (does anyone else wish DESPERATELY that Wesley had a Fred copy to live in his head???) Never mind. Many of you might only know them as Echo and Senator Perrin.


Steve January 31st, 2010 11:02 pm ET

I've been watching Dollhouse since the beginning and this article is the first time I've even heard about an unaired episode Epitaph One. Somebody failed in the marketing department because had I known I would have watched it before the series finale! Imagine this series if it was on either HBO or Showtime...


Mike January 31st, 2010 11:15 pm ET

Actually one "Doll" still lives on and is still shown weekly on network television...CHUCK. Chuck (sometimes) manages to download the skills he needs when he needs them. It is likely Chuck's father got his hands on the source code of an early active architecture prototype and improved it so much that he created the intercept project. Chuck was really smart-he escaped to NBC.


badcyclist January 31st, 2010 11:26 pm ET

I hope that Joss Whedon will write an autobiography someday, so we can figure out why he thinks Eliza Dusku is someone to build a series around. She was terrible in Buffy and she was even worse in Dollhouse. What kind of hold does she have over him??? It sure isn't her acting talent.


Alichat January 31st, 2010 11:50 pm ET

I love Joss, but I had a few issues with the episode. Granted it wasn't entirely Joss' fault. Since the show was canceled, I understand that he had to cram years worth of story into a few episodes. But, I felt the episode was rushed. It needed to be two hours. And if Fox cared about the viewers...I know...insert laughter here.....they would have aired Epitaph One before Epitaph Two so those who had not seen it wouldn't be so confused. I also wasn't as invested in the Paul/Echo relationship for his death to be as poignant as it was intended to be. I gasped when he was shot because I liked Paul, but frankly I was more upset with Wash's death in Serenity (hell, that scene still bothers me) than I was with Paul's death in Dollhouse. And I'd had fewer episodes to build an affection for Wash in Firefly. I had an issue with the resolution to Paul's death. I just don't know how I feel about him floating around in Echo's brain. And I have a big issue with Alpha's resolution. I mean, let's face it, his true personality was a psychopathic murderer with a penchant for slashing people's faces. Why would he want to wander out above ground and get wiped back to that original personality? Why not just stay below with Echo and crew, staying as an imprint? Especially since he's apparently spent the last ten years controlling the crazy imprints in his mind and becoming a good guy? Honestly I thought it would end with Alpha wiping out all the imprints in him except Ballard, and him becoming Ballard for Echo. Cheesy? Yes. But no more than the ending with Ballard residing in Echo's brain from now on.

I wasn't as bothered with Topher's crazy-man-antics as others were. I understood his death, but still felt that if we can create a machine that can somehow reset everyone back to what they were, while having no access to the mainframe housing their original personalities, then we could have created a stinking remote for it. I'm just sayin'. I would have liked some resolution to Dominic and the others just floating around in The Attic. The renaming of Phoenix to Necropolis was too Superman-ish for my taste, and Victor's crew and their entrance could have been less Mad-Max-Beyond-Thunderdome.

Otherwise, I liked the episode. It was still better than most of the stuff on TV now, but it wasn't Joss' best.


Jessica February 1st, 2010 12:06 am ET

Yes, Dollhouse wasn't perfect, but I really grew to love some of the characters (and will definitely be following along to see whatever Dichen Lachman, Enver Gjokaj, Fran Kranz, etc do next.) It was a very different type of sci-fi, which explains why so few people stuck with it long enough to see all of the potential. I'm very glad Fox did agree to air all of the S2 episodes, and that they knew it would be cancelled before writing the final scripts. The finale was a bit rushed, but I loved it nonetheless, and I have to say that, even though Paul's death was so sudden, I was very glad Priya and Tony got to have their happy ending. For as much as I love to watch Tahmoh Penikett, Enver and Dichen did a much better job of portraying a believable love story. I'm really going to miss Dollhouse!


Anna L. February 1st, 2010 12:16 am ET

I will miss Dollhouse, based only the second season (the first season was forgettable). Great storylines for Echo and Paul, Tony and Pria, and Topher. This ending made me cry (reminded me of Wesley and Fred's goodbye in "Angel") - I wish Echo and Paul had more time.


Cathy C February 1st, 2010 12:43 am ET

I totally agree that Mr. Whedon should quit taking his shows to the big networks. The cable networks allow their shows to gain followings and support them. Hey, not only is the SciFi and TNT, but there is also A & E and FX. Look at shows like Damages, The Closer. Those shows would have never lasted on regular network. Heck, even Army Wives from Lifetime. Smarten up Mr. Whedon.

Permalink Militants attack near army barracks in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan - The Afghan National Army and international soldiers fought off an insurgent attack near army barracks in southern Afghanistan Friday morning, authorities said.

"An attempt has been made by insurgents to launch a co-ordinated attack on the Afghan National Army in Lashkar Gah," a statement from NATO's International Security Assistance Force said. "Although firing continues, the attack has been contained by ISAF and [Afghan National Army] forces."

The attack was largely limited to a four-story building near the barracks and mostly involved gunfire, the ISAF statement said. Five or six suicide attackers also got into the building but were stopped before all of them could explode their suicide vests, Gen. Maiuddin Ghori, commander of the Afghan Army in Helmand province, said.

The spokesperson to the governor told CNN all the attackers had been killed, and there were no reports of civilian casualties.

2:16 pm ET I feel there is good and bad when going to war with another country we all know the impact that it can have on the soldiers and ther love ones. Its not a easy job but this world should be thankful to have men/women to give there lives for others. As this war reveal its not going to be easy but as long as both governments meaning the US and Afghan officials keep debating instead of coming to a agreement and sticking with it this will continue to happen. I just say pray for the men and women and best outcome.

1:47 pm ET What kind of human being would wrap explosive on himself or herself and for what cause? Obviously these fanatics believe in what they do. My sense is that these are people unable to find a virgin here on earth. The Taliban tell them that they will get many in heaven. And they, in their proverbial ignorance, let themselves to be sent to useless death! For there will no virgins in heaven for baby killers, only lasting fire and sulphuric stench!

2:40 pm ET war is hell, but our news channels are focused on Haiti, and not the War...What ever happend to having 'Inbedded" newsmen and women with the troops ? American is becoming to lax in what's going on with this war on terror..

CNN did an excellent job on reporting the war in Iraq, but seems to have less interest in Afghanistan..So get back out there and suport our troops..

God Bless them all..

11:43 am ET The suggestion of offering money to Talbian who desert is really dumb, on many counts. First of all, you cannot reason with religious fanatics; such an offer just gives them a chance to parade themselves as morally pure for refusing to accept, while still going out and killing people. Bribery is the opposite of torture, but both produce surprisingly similar results:unreliable information.Offering money to induce Taliban to desert is just like inviting suicide bombers for a cup of tea. They will willingly pose as deserters just in order to get into our bases and detonate themselves, like that Jordanian doctor who blew himself up, killing those CIA personnel. For the safety of all the soldiers serving in Afghanistan, I hope this suggestion is discarded.

2:00 am ET I agree, the only thing these murderers understand is a bullet between the eyes. War is not pretty, it can not be sanitized. I am not advocating war, but once the decision is taken the strategy should be to win and do it quickly.

That's not the plan. Listen to what they're saying, the money is going to be put straight into developmental projects, essential services, etc. It's stuff that the entire population needs.

11:58 am ET Smart move. Bribery has proven an effective tool for winding down insurgent activity through history. One only need read the histories of King Darius and Xerxes of the ancient Persian Empire to find early examples. Examine the various wars of Asia, Europe and yes, even here in early American history. After the successful conclusion of the American Revolution (also rife with bribery) the nascent federal and state governments used bribery (aka 'negotiations') in many dealings with indigenous tribes then the Spanish, the French, and... dare I say it... Texans. Bribery does two things - it removes marginally committed forces out of the reach of the die-hard fanatic organizers and reduces military threats without a single bullet or missile fired. Lives are saved, and in some ways you can think of it as economic stimulus. The person who takes the bribe is economically enriched and may go on to rejoin productive society. Note also that American forces used bribes to greatly reduce insurgent problems in Iraq.

8:15 am ET Hearts and minds. The people of Afghanistan, yes, even the Taliban, are a poor and humble people with pride, love, anger, sadness, a mixture of humanity. Show them some respect, and you can win many over. Don't worry, the true scum bags will still fight us; we will find and kill them eventually. Similar to the Awakening Councils Plan in Iraq. That, PLUS The Surge is what turned the tide in Iraq.

12:28 pm ET I think that money bribes won't work either,nor sending in thousands of troups from the U.S. , as they can spot them miles and miles away, as I'm sure they have many check pt's before their camps. I think teams of highly skilled special OP'S may have a chance of cleaning up allot of these nests, and the troups as a trojan hourse could work, but I am just an every day joe blow w/ nothing to go on except common sense.

Russia tests its first stealth fighter jetFrom Maxim Tkachenko, CNN

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Russia tested its fifth-generation Sukhoi fighter jet in the Russian Far East on Friday
The plane is the country's first fighter jet based on the stealth technology
Viewed by military experts as the Russian answer to the American F-35 and F-22 jets

Moscow, Russia (CNN) -- Russia tested its fifth-generation Sukhoi fighter jet in the Russian Far East on Friday.

The plane, provisionally called T-50, is the country's first fighter jet based on the stealth technology and is viewed by military experts as the Russian answer to the American F-35 and F-22 jets.

The flight lasted for 47 minutes and was successful, being piloted by Sergei Bogdan, one of Russia's best test pilots, Sukhoi corporation spokesman Alexei Poveshchenko told CNN.

Speaking to Russian TV from an airfield in Komsomolsk-on-Amur where the company has its main production facility, Sukhoi's General Director Mikhail Pogosian said, "I think this is a new stage in the development of the military aircraft industry in our country, and I believe that this is a very good start of a big work we have yet to do."

According to the manufacturer, T-50 is an "intellectual" jet which can fly at any time of the day and in any weather conditions and is capable of simultaneously attacking multiple targets in air, on the ground and in the sea. The plane's other advertised features include a very high degree of maneuverability and its ability to use short airstrips.

"It will also be less recognizable for radars thanks to many innovations, the use of composite materials and a special coating on the surface of the plane," a Suhkoi official told CNN on condition of anonymity. "The Americans had produced some of those technologies before us, so we're now catching up with them with this new model," he said.

But independent military affairs analyst Pavel Felgenhauer believes the new plane is a "humbug" and is nothing more than a "flying prototype."

"It doesn't have a new engine, modern weapons, or electronics. It's impossible to make a 5th-generation plane without having 5th-generation components," Felgenhauer told CNN.

"It's just a tuned-up version of the existing Sukhoi-27 model."

Another prominent defense expert, Ruslan Pukhov, Director of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies disagrees.

"It is obvious that this is just a prototype and that it may take a decade before the Russian Army gets equipped with those planes. But it's still a unique technological achievement of the post-Soviet Russia which nothing else could be compared with, even the construction of the International Space Station (ISS). Unlike the ISS, this is a purely Russian project which proves that the country has been, is and will be a great aviation power," Pukhov told CNN. "Sukhoi-27, before its mass production, had been first tested with engines from earlier plane models, too. So there's no bluff," he said.

The new planes, along with the modernized fourth-generation jets, will determine the Russian Air Forces' potential for decades to come, according to Sukhoil's General Director Mikhail Pogosian.

Sukhoi also expects its product will become popular at the international arms market.

Following Fridays's test, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said at a government meeting in Moscow that the sample quantity of the 5th-generation Sukhoi planes will be delivered to the Russian Air Forces in 2013, while their mass production will start in 2015.

Blair: No 'covert' deal with Bush over IraqJanuary 29, 2010 9:21 p.m. EST
Blair faces Iraq inquirySTORY HIGHLIGHTS
Blair says he backed Bush over Iraq in 2002 but deal was not "covert"
UK, U.S. differed over reasons for going to war, Blair tells Iraq inquiry
Several hundred protesters gather outside venue calling Blair a war criminal
Blair says he believed "without doubt" controversial 45-minute weapon claim
London, England (CNN) -- Former British prime minister Tony Blair on Friday rejected claims that he had struck a secret deal with U.S. President George W. Bush in 2002 pledging British backing for the invasion of Iraq.

Testifying in front of the inquiry into the UK's participation in the U.S.-led war against Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003, Blair said he had stated publicly that Iraq needed to be confronted over its ambitions to develop weapons of mass destruction.

But Blair had told Bush that he would be "with him" when the pair met at the U.S. president's Texas ranch in April 2002, he said.

"What I was saying -- I was not saying this privately incidentally, I was saying it in public -- was 'We are going to be with you in confronting and dealing with this threat,' Blair told the inquiry, headed by former civil servant John Chilcot.

"The one thing I was not doing was dissembling in that position. The position was not a covert position, it was an open position."

Blair said that plans for how Iraq should be governed after the invasion had failed to foresee the destabilizing roles played by Iran and al Qaeda, nor problems with Iraq's civil service.

On the matter of the legal basis for the invasion, Blair said U.N. resolution 1441 authorized military action in Iraq without a further resolution -- but admitted "there was always a case either way" and said a second resolution would have been "preferable politically."

"But in the end, we got to the point in the middle of March where frankly we had to decide," Blair said. "We were going either to back away or we were going to go forward and I decided, for the reasons that I've given, that we should go forward."

Several hundred anti-war protesters gathered outside the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, opposite the Houses of Parliament in central London, to mark Blair's appearance at the inquiry, chanting "Blair lied, thousands died!" and "Tony Blair! War criminal!"

Mock pallbearers wearing Blair masks carried a black coffin. Some in the crowd wore "Jail Tony" T-shirts and toted signs saying "Stop the War," "Troops out of Afghanistan." and "Bliar," a deliberate misspelling of his name.

Left-wing lawmaker George Galloway said that Blair's actions in Iraq were "more terrible than the crimes of Macbeth" and called on the former prime minister to "commit hari-kiri in front of the world" on the steps of the conference center.

Protesters call for Blair to face war crimes charges

Relatives of the 179 British troops killed in Iraq were among those admitted to the public gallery.

Blair said he believed "beyond doubt" his controversial pre-war claim that Iraq was capable of launching chemical and biological weapons within 45 minutes and said concern over Iraq's ambitions to develop weapons of mass destruction had been the main factor behind Britain's decision to back the war.

But he admitted Washington and London had different views, with the U.S. favoring regime change to overthrow Saddam Hussein as the main justification for war.

The 45-minute claim was made in Blair's preface to an intelligence document that came out in September 2002 and detailed the threat posed by Iraq. The document, Blair said, was "clear" in backing up the claim he made in the preface.

"If you go back to that time, if you read the executive summary and the information that follows, I can't see how you can come to a different conclusion," Blair said of evidence for the 45-minute claim.

British media quickly highlighted the claim and it filled the headlines of British newspapers the next day. But no significant caches of chemical or biological weapons have been found in Iraq since the invasion.

The former prime minister denied he had inserted the 45-minute claim to make the intelligence document seem more important.

Blair said he not only believed the claim was true, but he also worried about the possibility that it wasn't true -- and he had to act on that concern.

"Supposing we put it the other way around and it was correct, and I wasn't going to act on it. That was the thing that was worrying me," Blair said.

"Your worry is not simply, 'Is the intelligence correct so that I can act?'" he added. "Your worry is also if it is correct, what am I going to do about it?"

Earlier, Blair told the inquiry he had been "determined" to stand "shoulder to shoulder" with the U.S. despite their differing opinions over the reasons why war was necessary.

"The Americans, in a sense, were saying, 'We're for regime change 'cause we don't trust he's ever going to give up his WMD ambitions,'" Blair said.

"We were saying, 'We have to deal with his WMD ambitions. If that means regime change, so be it.'"

Blair said that the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S. had changed attitudes in both London and Washington towards how Saddam Hussein's regime should be handled.

"Up to September 11 we thought he was a risk, but we thought it was worth trying to contain it," Blair testified.

"The crucial thing after 9/11 is that the calculus of risk changed... After September 11, if you were a regime engaged in WMD (weapons of mass destruction), you had to stop."

Blair told the inquiry that he had considered the 9/11 attacks to be an attack on the UK as well as the U.S.

"I said I would stand shoulder to shoulder with them. We did that in Afghanistan, and I was determined to do that again" in Iraq, Blair said.

In an interview aired last month on the BBC, Blair sparked controversy by indicating he would have gone to war even if Saddam had been found to have no WMD, or weapons of mass destruction.

Blair said Friday that Iraqi citizens were "actually upbeat about the future" and said a "majority think security and services are getting better."

"It's too early to say right now whether the democracy will take root and function effectively," but there were "hopeful signs," he said.

Mogadishu
(CNN) -- A militant Islamist group associated with al Qaeda attacked areas controlled by government troops and peacekeepers in Somalia early Friday, leaving 12 dead and scores injured, witnesses said.

Of the 12 killed, two were Al-Shabaab members, according to Sheik Ali Mohamud Raghe, the militants' spokesman.

At least 30 people were wounded and the number is expected to go up, medical officials said.

The attack involved heavy artillery and automatic weapons. It started at 2 a.m. local time in the capital, Mogadishu, and targeted areas controlled by the African Union Mission for Somalia and government troops, according to Maj. Brigye Bahuko, an AMISOM spokesman.

A spokesman for the militants said they "inflicted heavy losses on AMISOM and government forces."

But Somali government officials downplayed the offensive, calling it "small and careless."

Areas attacked include Mogadishu's strategic "Kilometer Four," a square connecting the airport and the port. The square has been hit several times, but this attack is considered among the most severe. African Union peacekeepers from Uganda are stationed there.

Somalia has been mired in chaos since 1991, when warlords overthrew dictator Mohamed Siad Barre and sparked brutal clan infighting. The transitional government has struggled to establish authority amid challenges by militants.

The fighting comes almost a year since Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed was sworn in as the nation's new president.

Al-Shabaab is considered a terrorist organization by the United States, which blames it for shootings and suicide bombings inside Somalia.

The group has also threatened African neighbors, including Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya, Eritrea, Ghana, Sudan and Uganda.

CNN's Amir Ahmed and journalist Mohammed Amiin contributed to this report.

Of course, the religion of peace in action yet again. Pious Muslims fighting non-Muslims, and the "moderate Muslims" just sit back, and watch. In fact, many of them make 'dua', an Islamic prayer, for these fighters. I even saw a video of Muslims making dua for Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden in a mosque once. There were about 300 people do it in the mosque. It was hosted on some defunct video flick site back last year.

As long as you give jihadists the environment to thrive and grow, things like this will continute to happen. We allow them to come here, live a better life, and use up our freedom of expression, while they use the very freedoms and resources we give them (including my hard earned tax money) to plot attacks against our freedoms.

I'm not buying it SamRam! Those are just words. Most of the world lives in war, abject poverty, or some for of degrading servitude. Our war in Iraq has caused suffering few in American can possibly imagine, and as we dress our kids in shirts with peace symbols, and go to church today and listen to messages of hope, close to none of use will devote even second of empathy or concern to the unimaginable horror that is Iraq. We will delude ourselves with thoughts that it was somehow a necessary part of some obscure war on terror, and go on happily ignoring reality thanks to the images that American newspapers do not print and American TV does not show. The world, for hundreds of millions of people, is a cold, dark, disease filled place of pain and horror. If you really want to fix it America needs to give money for foreign aid like other nations do. In terms of amount given per capita, or as a percentage of GNI we are near the bottom of the industrialized world. Yet, the impression the news media gives here is that we are at the top and other nations do very little. less

Nothing unusual here, rogue regimes are Russia, France and Germany's preferred export markets because they don't have to compete with Anglo companies there and their systematic opposition to the US gives them preferred partner status among the bad guys.

There is, however, something profoundly unfair in that all three countries are also allowed to compete for deals in Iraq despite siding with Saddam against the coalition. The US should force them to choose a side and accept the consequences. Either deal with rogue regimes and back out of regions where you fought against human rights or abstain from dealing with enemies of democracy. less

In the 1982 Lebanon war, The Israeli military handily defeated the T-72 with the first generation Merkava (they're on the 4th generation now). It is true that the main gun is much more destructive than most modern tanks, but the T-72 lacks the maneuverability and evasion capabilities of most tanks produced since the late 1970s.

It is no secret that Russia would like to diminish the US' international status, as do China, Iran, Venezuela and a number of others, and supplying military equipment is just way of doing that. The bottom line, though, is that Russian equipment is cheaper and less complicated, thus it can be purchased in larger quantities and maintained by a semi-skilled workforce. American equipment is generally more complicated and expensive, and its use is severely limited by Foreign Military Sales legislation. For the most part, for the average nation, buying Russian is easier and better value for money...more bang for the buck. less

Quake kills one, injures 11 in ChinaJanuary 31, 2010 3:48 a.m. EST
(CNN) -- An earthquake killed one person and injured 11 in southwest China early Sunday, state media reported.

The 5.2-magnitude quake struck at 5:37 a.m. local time in the Sichuan province, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It toppled 100 homes.

In May 2008, the southwestern province was rocked by a 7.9-magnitude quake that left nearly 90,000 dead or missing, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

Thousands of schools were leveled and more than 5,000 students were killed, Xinhua said.

Forces mistakenly exchange fire in AfghanistanJanuary 30, 2010 11:55 a.m. EST

Violence flares in Afghanistan amid reports that Taliban commanders met with U.N. officials.STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Violence flares amid reports that Taliban commanders met with U.N.
Two U.S. service members killed by Afghan interpreter, who was then killed, official says
Interpreter believed to be disgruntled worker, not Taliban sympathizer, official says
Four Afghan soldiers likely killed in incident between NATO troops and Afghan army

RELATED TOPICS
Afghanistan War
The Taliban
War and Conflict
Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- As talk emerged about a secret meeting of U.N. and Taliban officials, the battlefield lit up in Afghanistan, with a joint Afghan-international force and Afghan soldiers exchanging fire when both sides mistook the other for enemy combatants.

The violence flared as a widely circulated news report said that senior Taliban commanders met in Dubai earlier this month with Kai Eide, the U.N. special representative for Afghanistan. The meeting reportedly dealt with the prospect of peace talks with the Afghan government.

The United Nations won't comment on the reports, and the Taliban issued a flat denial of what it called "futile and baseless rumors."

But they surfaced on the heels of this week's London Conference on Afghanistan, where President Hamid Karzai pushed a reconciliation plan to attract "disenchanted brothers" into law-abiding society, a reference to Taliban foot soldiers who fight to earn wages.

Such breakthrough diplomacy would be welcomed by many Afghans weary and caught in the middle of the daily fight between Taliban and al Qaeda militants and Afghan security forces, backed by NATO's International Security Assistance Force.

ISAF said small arms fire targeted a joint Afghan-international security force conducting an operation in Sayed Abad district of Wardak province that apparently originated from an Afghan National Army combat outpost.

ISAF said the "subsequent air support called by the joint force likely killed at least four ANA soldiers." Wardak is near Kabul in the eastern part of the country.

"We work extremely hard to coordinate and synchronize our operations. This is a regrettable incident and our thoughts go out to the families of those killed and wounded," said Brig Gen. Eric Tremblay, ISAF spokesman.

The Afghan Defense Ministry said the clash occurred in the Akakhil village of Maydan in Wardak province, pointing out that it was a "joint operation of international forces" conducting a mission in an area where Afghan forces had been stationed.

Both sides thought the other was the enemy, the ministry said. The airstrike killed four Afghan soldiers and wounded several others, the ministry said.

Shahidullah Shahid, the Wardak governor's office spokesman, didn't mention the airstrike. He said four Afghan soldiers died and seven were wounded in what he said was an exchange of fire in the province's Sayed Abad district.

The incident infuriated the Afghans, with the ministry saying "the people responsible for this incident will certainly be punished according to military law."

In another part of Afghanistan, Ghazni province in the eastern region, two Afghan civilians died when NATO-led forces fired on a vehicle barreling toward troops, ISAF reported on Saturday.

The vehicle moving at a high speed "failed to heed several warning signs to stop" on Friday and troops firing at the engine block killed the two Afghans and injured one more. A fourth person in the car was not injured.

The incident, which occurred in the province's district, represents one of the trends bedeviling the international fight against the Taliban -- civilian deaths in the course of the war that have strained relations between Afghanistan and the United States and its allies.

The numbers of civilian casualties have fallen off in recent months, since Gen. Stanley McChrystal took over as U.S. commander in Afghanistan. But escalation-of-force incidents at checkpoints, air bombings and accidents that have led to civilian deaths have undermined international and Afghan efforts to win wider civilian support.

Earlier this week, a NATO convoy fired "on what appeared to be a threatening vehicle" and killed an imam, prompting angry demonstrations and an ISAF statement conveying regrets about the incident, which took place outside a U.S. military base on the outskirts of Kabul."

"Despite all the measures that we put in place to ensure the safety of the Afghan people, regrettable incidents such as this one can occur," Tremblay said about the Thursday shooting of the imam.

"On behalf of ISAF, I express my sincere regrets for this loss of life and convey my deepest condolences to his family."

International troops continue to endure violence, and the latest occurred on Friday in Wardak province.

A NATO official who asked not to be identified said two U.S. service members were killed by an Afghan interpreter, who was then killed. Initial inquiries by authorities have determined that the interpreter was disgruntled for work reasons and not a Taliban infiltrator.

As for the London Conference on Thursday, a central focus was a $500 million pay-for-peace proposal to bring Taliban fighters into the civilian fold if they promise to renounce violence. The money would create jobs and housing in an effort to moderate the Taliban fighters, helping them return to civilian life. Major international donors are expected to pledge money for the effort.

Karzai also said he would establish a national council for peace reconciliation and integration, followed by a "peace jirga" -- a traditional gathering of Afghan tribal leaders -- and said he hoped Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah would play a "prominent role."

Karzai has suggested that high-level Taliban commanders could take part in the Afghan government in the future. This week, the United Nations removed several members of the Taliban from a blacklist, suggesting negotiations could take place in the not-too-distant future.

CNN's Atia Abawi and Tim Schwarz contributed to this report

This type of incident never ceases to amaze me. Does anyone in a war zone realistically expect to not increase the odds of something untoward happening to them? If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. And yes, it goes for civilians, too: every war has refugees, those with the darwinian survival instincts enough to know better at whatever risk/cost. less

World Peace:

Our expressions of love and compassion create a world at peace. With every loving thought we hold, every kind word we express, we contribute to a world at peace. Each of us has the power to love and the ability to be patient and forgiving, no matter what is happening. Even in the appearance of turmoil and trouble, we can affirm: Peace, be still.

We can still troubled waters with the power of our love. As we go about our day, we express compassion wherever possible.

As we pray, we see the divine good in our loved ones and we inspire others. Centered in the divine nature of our being and the oneness that we are, we are powerful. Our smallest acts combine with the actions of others to create a world at peace, a world that works for all.

~~ "So that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them."--John 17:26 less

Well I guess if we can ask the Taliban, mass murders that they are to go to"work" for the good of their country we might as well offer Charlie Manson a job in law enforcement. It makes about as much sense. I hear that not only are they going to be offered jobs to leave the Taliban but that they might also be getting a new house. I'd hate to be the owner of the new houses, the Taliban are killing people just because they suspect people are siding with the US, might as well put a "bulls eye" on their foreheads when those new houses start to pop up. What a great opportunity for the Taliban. They can have infiltrators coming and going. I doubt that many of their soldiers are going to leave the organization, money is not their thing, religion and control is, they don't care who dies in the process. Good luck with this bright idea, I can't wait to see how this one turns out. Since so many good decisions have been made between Iraq and Afghanistan here we go again. Sounds like desperation to me. less

Guest This reconciliation with the Taliban plan will NOT work!!!!
The Taliban will never give up their radical islamic ideals and would soon become power hungry again. They are going to do things their way and no one can change their minds...This war will unfortunately drag on for awhile...

WDay Friendly forces firing on each other is nothing new. We had several instances of that in Vietnam. For example, back in 1967 one of the major events of the day (it was night in reality) the 198 Inf Bde and the 196 Inf Bde become involved in such an incident in Chu Lai. Its an unfortunate part of War!

Guest I agree, it happens, and honestly, telling people of different races apart is hard. The international forces (probably US soldiers) just saw some Afganistanies with guns, and who knows, they may have opened fire first, but does it really matter? It was an accident.

"The incident infuriated the Afghans, with the ministry saying "the people responsible for this incident will certainly be punished according to military law.""------------ As long as they punish their own while assuming this was a purely American deed. It's odd they throw Americans under the bus when it could be their own people who are the ones to blame. It seems as though this was a lack o* communication event and all at once they seem to come out with the trump card o* blaming Americans. We should bury the government o* Karzai and install a new one. One more thank*ul that it's in power at all. To hell with the Taliban and Al Queda, call in airstrikes no matter where the squirmishes are taking place. Maybe then the civilians will give up the militarists a little easier to save their own skins. less

Iran opposition leaders call for protestsJanuary 31, 2010 10:04 p.m. EST
Opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi, right, and Mehdi Karroubi, left, met to discuss the cases of 16 protesters who went on trial Saturday.STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Top Iranian opposition leaders call for February 11 protest, opposition Web site reports
They called for people to take to the streets to demand their rights back as citizens of Iran
Mehdi Karroubi and Mir Hossein Moussavi also met to discuss last week's executions
The two executions followed mass trials of opposition supporters in August
(CNN) -- Two top Iranian opposition leaders have called on supporters to protest on February 11, the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, an opposition Web site reported.

According to The Green Way Web site, a meeting took place Saturday between opposition leaders Mehdi Karroubi and Mir Hossein Moussavi at Karroubi's home.

They discussed the two executions that happened last week and the cases of 16 protesters who went on trial Saturday, the site reported.

"The widespread arrests of political activists and university students, the silencing of the media, and the forced confessions of prisoners are against the principles of Islam and the constitution of Iran," the leaders said in a statement.

They also called for people to take to the streets on February 11 to demand their rights back as citizens of Iran, The Green Way reported.

Meanwhile, state-run Press TV quoted Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday as saying that the nation will deliver a harsh blow to "global arrogance" on February 11.

Press TV offered no details on or explanation of the statement.

Opposition protests were launched after the disputed June 12 presidential election that gave hardline Ahmadinejad a second term. The government denies accusations of fraud.

About 4,000 people have been arrested in the post-election crackdown. As of January 24, the government had confirmed the deaths of at least 37 people in the protests or in detention, seven of those deaths happening on the religious holiday of Ashura.

On Thursday, authorities hanged Mohammed Reza Ali Zamani, 37, and Arash Rahmanipour, 20, who had been convicted of being enemies of God and plotting to topple the Islamic regime.

The two were convicted in mass trials of opposition supporters in August, but Rahmanipour's lawyer said the young man was arrested two months before the election.
