Nigerian Terrorist

One terrorist was identified as Abdul Mudallad Nigeria is the air to fly a passenger plane on arrival in the United States.

I just want a short answer because the details would have been even more light on the facts (and even increase precedent) a.

But I want to ensure to all friends of Nigeria and Nigerians that this is a totally isolated incident. Nigerians are not terrorists. Nigeria is a country where Islam and Christianity are the dominant religions. Muslims are concentrated in the north and Christian south.

Religious riots are common in the northern and sporadically in the South, but primarily to overcome our differences and try to live in peace. It is difficult because of poverty and ignorance, especially in the northern part, where it is relatively easier to win, people to violence or violence.

Nigerians are generally peace loving, warm, friendly and very tolerant. When a Nigerian is like a terrorist, mainly due to ignorance and personal ideology captured as a single mode. We are not terrorists and we have no intention of a terrorist nation. Although it can infiltrate northern Nigeria, was not established that such an ideology is accepted.

I will certainly try to write more, about these details is also developed. And this particular event is one off my shift in focus of my blog. I never thought the day comes that I will write about terrorism in my blog. But the day is here taken as "Nigeria" Abdul Mudallad and is a very ill-conceived attempt to give the rest of us a bad name.

To ensure that the press in Nigeria, an independent report about the incident, and we have something we can do to restore our image: Nigeria is a country of terrorists!

Scientists capture world's first images of baby coelacanth fish


Scientists have captured the world's first images of a baby coelacanth - an extremely rare type of fish known as a 'living fossil'.

Japanese marine researchers have found and successfully filmed the young fish at a depth of 528ft in Manado Bay off Sulawesi Island, Indonesia.

Video footage shows the 12.6-inch coelacanth, coloured blue with white spots, swimming slowly among rocks on the seabed for about 20 minutes.

As far as we know, it was the first ever video image of a living juvenile coelacanth, which is still shrouded in mystery,' said Masamitsu Iwata, a researcher at Aquamarine Fukushima in Iwaki, northeast of Tokyo.
Scientists hope the discovery will shed light on the habitat and breeding habits of coelacanths.

The researchers used a remotely operated, self-propelled vehicle to film the coelacanth, which appeared to be newly born, Iwata said.

A similar-sized juvenile was once discovered in the belly of a pregnant coelacanth. It is believed that their eggs hatch inside the female and the young fish are fully formed at the time of birth.

Coelacanths are commonly regarded as having evolved little from prehistoric times and were thought to be extinct until a living specimen was discovered in 1938 off the coast of southern Africa.

Detroit Red Wings

The Detroit Red Wings were embroiled in a tough playoff series with the Anaheim Ducks last spring and needed a clutch goal on home ice to win Game 7 and avoid getting upset.
Detroit looks to continue its home dominance of Anaheim on Saturday night when the teams meet for the first time this season.
The Detroit Red Wing (9-5-3) lost in seven games to Pittsburgh in the Stanley Cup finals last June after winning it the previous year.
One of the team’s second-seeded Detroit eliminated to reach the finals was eighth-seeded Anaheim (6-8-3) and it took bitter semifinals series stretched to its maximum to determine the winner.
That series included five games that were decided by one goal with Dan Cleary's score with 3 minutes to play in Game 7 securing a 4-3 win and a third consecutive trip to the conference finals for the Red Wings.
Detroit struggled at the start of this season, going 3-4-2 before turning things around with a 6-1-1 stretch after beating Vancouver 3-1 on Thursday. That came a night after a 9-1 victory at Columbus, a Central rival along with Chicago which is challenging the Wings' run of eight consecutive division titles.
"We aren't winning games in the same fashion that we used to, that's pretty obvious," coach Mike Babcock said. A visit by the Ducks could help the Red Wings continue their strong play. They're 24-3-0 with three ties against them all-time during the regular season at Joe Louis Arena.
Osgood is 6-3-2 with 2.77 goals-against average and a shutout, while posting a 14-2-0 mark with a tie and a 2.48 GAA in 17 games, including six in the postseason, against the Ducks. If Osgood is unable to play, Jimmy Howard would face Anaheim for the first time.
Howard won the last two games while stopping 56 of 58 shots, improving to 3-2-1 with a 2.66 GAA in seven appearances.
The Ducks dropped to 0-1-1 on a four-game trip after falling 3-2 in a shootout at Columbus on Friday.
"We are desperate for a win on the road," Coach Randy Carlyle said. "I didn't think we played that poor a hockey game. It's not easy to win on the road."
While Anaheim is struggling, Corey Perry has been one of the few bright spots. The right wing ranks among the league leaders with 12 goals and 21 points, failing to record a point in only three games.
Perry, though, has just three goals and five assists in 15 games against the Red Wings. Todd Merchant scored his second goal of the season Friday. The veteran center came up big in the playoffs against Detroit last spring, scoring in the third overtime to clinch a 4-3 win at Joe Louis in Game 2.

Buffalo Wild Wings

The Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant at the Atlantic Terminal mall had been trying for three weeks to address growing crowds of kids coming out for the Tuesday night 50-cent wings special, a top executive said in a telephone interview today.

But a confluence of forces — the restaurant’s location in a major transportation hub, the ability of social networking to rally people, and the interest of a large number of kids wanting to gather on the night before a school holiday — all combined to set the stage for the violence that broke out later that night in nearby Fort Greene, he said.

“It’s sort of a perfect storm, it’s very unfortunate,” said Michael Mehiel, the chief operating officer for Four M Capital LLC, the New York area franchisee for the Buffalo Wild Wings chain.
Last night, Mr. Mehiel sent an e-mail announcing that the Flatbush Avenue restaurant’s Tuesday night Buffalo Wild Wings special will be indefinitely canceled. But in the interview, Mr. Mehiel said the restaurant’s bargain night was “used as a flag.”

Mr. Mehiel said the restaurant, and the Atlantic Terminal mall, had been ramping up its security in the weeks leading up to Tuesday night’s events. Since then, he said, there have been “zero instances of violence in the restaurant.”

However, the crowds continued to grow in the mall. He said the mall increased security, and the restaurant added a fifth guard. On Monday, after they picked up the chatter on social networking sites over the weekend, encouraging Brooklyn’s teenagers to come to Tuesday night’s special, they informed the 88th Precinct, he said.

On Tuesday, the NYPD sent “a large detail to the mall,” he said, but “unfortunately this incident occurred.” Three teenagers were shot in two separate incidents related to groups of roving teens, but none suffered life-threatening injuries. (88th Precinct detectives have asked for witnesses to come forward.)

Mr. Mehiel said there have been no other incident like this in any of the franchise’s other restaurants. But the Atlantic mall restaurant is unusual, he said, in that “it is in an enormous transportation hub. Capt. Anthony Tasso, commanding officer of the 88th Precinct, said Wednesday in an e-mail that, “None of the involved individuals were from Clinton Hill, Fort Greene.”

As for criticism of the restaurant by Council Member Letitia James, he said he is not interested in picking a fight with her.

'Naked' scanner in airport trial

According to a scanner that produces the "naked" images of passengers has begun on the airport in Manchester.

Authorities say speed up security checks before revealed no hidden weapons or explosives.

However, full-body scanners will also appear breast augmentation, piercings and a clear black and white outlines of the genitals of passengers.

The airport has insisted that the pictures are not pornographic and is immediately destroyed.

Sarah Barrett, director of customer experience at the airport, said most passengers do not like the traditional pat down "from the search.

At Terminal 2, Manchester Airport, which introduced the machine, passengers no longer need to pull their coats, shoes and belts, and go through security checks.

Ms Barrett said: "This scanner has completely removed the dispute to undress."

Ms Barrett said the black-and-white image, and will only be seen by an officer in a remote location before deleting.

"The images are not erotic or pornographic, and can not be stored or captured in any way," he said.

The passengers could refuse to be scanned, he added.

The scan costs £ 80,000 per. They work by transmitting electromagnetic waves to passengers when standing represented at a booth. A virtual three-dimensional image is then created from the reflected energy.

Ms Barrett said radiation has been "super safe".

She said: "The passengers can go through this machine is 5000 times per year to each without looking back. The amount of transmitted radiation is making very small."

The Transportation Department will decide whether permanently installed in a period of one year.

The scanner, made by Rapiscan Systems, has already been tried at Heathrow Airport between 2004 and 2008.

A spokesman for BAA Heathrow said that the technology was "very effective" and the airport operator was taking into account a possible further use in the future.

The scans will be rolled out gradually to the airports in the U.S., after use in Los Angeles and New York.

Indonesian Super League Ready To Become One Of Asia's Biggest - Asian Debate


Indonesia Super League this season and expects a new Asia editor John Duerden wonders how far one can go forward ...

October 12, 2009 2:57:52
2. October was the date "batik in Indonesia. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono urged his countrymen to take the dress to remember the day when UNESCO officially his handmade shirts representative list of intangible heritage of humanity.

Given the disputes with Malaysia, to which countries could make a claim on his shirt, looked as if the whole of Jakarta had responded to the request and on a street where they were greeted by a group of batik.
Also in force at the offices of PSSI, Indonesian Football Association. The Board of Directors in the life of the bowels of the Soviet-designed Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, and his house is a maze of brown and beige (not as colorful as the batik), large offices, small nooks and crannies.

Compared with some of the office bright and fresh that some of the partnerships in Asia to call home, the place a little dated, but the fact appears that the curve fits follow corridors of one of the best football fields in Asia, an authentic atmosphere, not easily found elsewhere.

The same applies to the passion that Indonesia has for the beautiful game and before the new season began to come true last weekend, it's a real sense that football in the vast archipelago's people.

Indonesia Super League has not only the one to watch in Southeast Asia, is still the league's representative in the region and the space to play, despite the progress made by the leagues in Vietnam and Thailand.

Like most have in the region, Indonesia, a fan of football, but fans of Sumatra, Java and other countries are equally at home just a PSM Makassar like Manchester United. The rival league of the greats in the West - including the Series A, which is still very popular - and there is little to the snobbery of the national scene, which may exist elsewhere.

One such place is certainly fighting and football in Singapore these days in the shadow of the big neighbor to the south. S-League stars such as Noh Alam Shah and Alexander Duric have the short trip across the street from Singapore, attracted by the opportunity for a large number of people playing.

You are not alone, partly due to the fact that Indonesia will allow each team of three foreign players and two in Asia - the league is probably the most cosmopolitan city on the continent. Persija Jakarta has a pair of Singapore and Baihakki Khaizan Mustafic Fahruddin during Bandung have Persib Thailand goalkeeper Kosin Viwatchaichok Rangsan Hathairatanakool and compatriot.

These new players did not disappoint with an excellent first day of the season. More than 40,000 were in Balikpapan Bandung see Persib Persib 2-0 defeat. More than 50,000 watched Persija Jakarta Arema Malang 1-0.

It helps with the local authorities in silence, as satisfied with their work. Despite the lack of official data, the PSSI General Secretary Nugraha Beso assured me that the average attendance in the league than the traditional big leagues in Asia including South Korea, China, Saudi Arabia and Iran - just before Japan and maybe not for long.

There are still problems, of course, would not be a season of Indonesia, if all went well. Crowd problems raises its ugly head from time to time - that has the clubs are forced to play away from home in front of empty stadiums.

The teams have been known to walk out of the court, when decisions against them and the police are reluctant to get involved with the device as well. Elections last year, it was not possible, the authorities in Jakarta after month games, and games can change everything at any time - the season curtain raising, the Community Shield pulled out of the Bung Karno Gelora weeks past.

You can not write about football in Indonesia, not to mention the word c - even though the PSSI insist that corruption is declining.

However, with a growing realization among administrators, which is the interest of the league to build something.

If the costumes / batik can live up to their words of support have become the league in every way and make sure that the rule begins to be outside the field to equal the passion in him to Indonesia Super League could be the first Southeast Asia from the region .

OtoMagz flying car


This is a powerful solution for people who do not like traffic jams in big cities like Jakarta and Surabaya. A technology company in Woburn, Massachusetts, USA, manufactures flying cars in most of this year.

The Transition flying car has been named. In the U.S., goods to U.S. $ 170,000 (Rp 1.7 billion euros) was estimated to have already exhausted, but not ready yet occurred. The price is obviously too expensive for the few rich people in Indonesia to move taking into account the number of luxury cars in Jakarta. The transition could be two people. Its speed of about 185 kilometers per hour while flying in the air.

To lose weight requires removal preparation of approximately 520 meters, but only a few hundred meters to the landing. The changes in the type of fixed-to-flight mode can be performed simply by pressing a button in the cockpit.

Propeller, which is used if the flight mode on security, which is the key to fixed mode to use. To save it, do not need space for a hangar. Can be stored in the garage, because their wings can be folded.

With dimensions of 2.1 meters, 2 meters wide and 5.7 meters long when folded, the transition will be less than full-size SUVs like the Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator. However, one can ask for that vehicle. You need to have a pilot license if you want to buy it. Want to try?

(CNN) -- An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.9 struck in the Samoan Islands region Tuesday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.


An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.9 struck in the Samoan Islands region Tuesday.

The temblor generated a nearly 10-foot (3-meter) tsunami -- measured from crest to trough -- according to preliminary data, said Chip McCreery, the director of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii.

A tsunami warning was in effect for American Samoa, Samoa, Cook Islands, Tonga and Fiji, among others in the South Pacific archipelago, according to a bulletin from the center.

A tsunami watch was issued for islands farther from the epicenter, including Hawaii and Papua New Guinea. See a map of where the earthquake hit »

Officials were determining whether the tsunami could reach Hawaii, the center said.

The quake is not expected to generate a tsunami along the west coast of the United States or Canada, according to the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center.

Further details were not immediately available.

There were no immediate reports of damage.

The quake was recorded at 6:48 a.m. (1:28 p.m. ET) at a depth of about 7.4 miles (11.9 km), the USGS reported

At least 17 deaths were confirmed, said Dr. Salamo Laumoli, director of health services of American Samoa.

"Two or three villages have been badly damaged," he told CNN International.

An American Samoa homeland security official working at the island's emergency operations center told CNN that the death toll is expected to rise to at least 20.

The tsunami wave hit right in the middle of the harbor of Pogo Pogo, the capital, Cinta Brown said.

Water damage and infrastructure damage was reported throughout the island, she said.

The village of Leone was "sadly devastated," Brown said. "The wave came onshore and washed out people's homes."

The same happened on the hard-hit east and west sides of American Samoa, she said.

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, canceled tsunami watches and warnings about four hours after the earthquake hit. Video Watch report on end of tsunami warning »

Officials in American Samoa issued a clear call and were focusing on assessing the damage, Brown said.

The temblor, with a magnitude of 8.0, generated three separate tsunami waves, the largest of which measured 5.1 feet from sea level height, Vindell Hsu, a geophysicist with the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center told CNN. Preliminary data originally reported a larger tsunami.

The quake is not expected to generate a tsunami along the West Coast of the United States or Canada, according to the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center, though a tsunami advisory was put in place.

Reports of damage were still emerging, but a bulletin from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the waves "may have been destructive along coasts near the earthquake epicenter and could also be a threat to more distant coasts. Authorities should take appropriate action in response to this possibility."

The quake was recorded at about 6:48 a.m. at a depth of about 7.4 miles (11.9 km), the USGS reported. Early reports had the magnitude at 7.9, but the USGS upgraded that to 8.0 about two hours after the initial report.

Laumoli, the health services director for American Samoa, said the earthquake was so powerful he felt as though the earth might split.

"It was the largest earthquake I have ever felt," he said. Video Listen to Laumoli speak about the impact of the quake and tsunami »

Brown agreed.

She was standing in a parking lot when the earthquake hit. She said it shook her sports utility vehicle left and right.

"You could hear the rattling of the metal" of a large chain link fence around the lot, Brown said.

"It shakes you because you know something else is coming," she said.


iReporter Genhall Manua Chen said authorities told people to head up Aloau Mountain during the tsunami warning. Cars lined up for evacuation, Chen said. His cousin, who lives in Pago Pago, the capital, said water went inside their store, breaking windows and causing a lot of damage.

After about an hour, officials said it was safe to return home, he said. source:

THE GIRL WITH X-RAY EYES


MIAMI, FL – A pretty teenager has stunned experts with her bizarre white eyes – which let her see through solid stone and metal!

Laura Castro, 14, was born normal but developed pure white eyes at the age of 10. The Miami, Fla., child has been studied by eye doctors and other experts, but none can explain what causes her rare condition.

“The doctors say they’re never seen anything like this,” said the child’s mother, divorcee Anabel Castro. “My daughter can see anywhere in daylight or in darkness, and she can easily see through solid objects. The doctors say she may have been hit on the head or exposed to chemicals or something.

“All I know is that this came on gradually and that as her brown eyes got lighter and lighter her vision got stronger and stronger.”

Scientists who have studied the X-ray girl anonymously confessed that she can see clearly through 4-inch thick concrete, a steel safe, solid rock walls and thick layers of wood, plastic and paper, including a telephone book!

Examination of her eyes reveals no striking differences other than the fact that the pupil and iris are completely white.

According to Mrs. Castro, Laura first began showing signs of her rare condition shortly after her 10th birthday in 2005. The little girl’s dark brown eyes turned golden color, then gradually faded to white.

“I was real worried and I took her to doctors but they all said Laura’s eyes were normal,” Mrs. Castro recalled. “Then she began seeing through things.

“She woke up one morning and she could see through her own body. She could see her own heart beating and she was screaming. That really scared us.” The panic wore off after a few months, Mrs. Castro says, when Laura adjusted to her new X-ray vision.

Since then, the child’s only complaint is that her schoolmates avoid her because of her looks. “I tell her that she is special and that one day she will be very famous,” Mrs. Castro says.

Doctors have yet to verify Mrs. Castro’s claims on her daughter’s abilities, however she provided Weekly World News reporters with the photo above of Laura being examined.

The worlds largest plane is the Antonov An-225 Myria


The Russian word ' Мрия ' incidentally means 'inspired dream' it is classed as a Strategic Air-lifter and was constructed by the Antonov Design Bureau in the Ukraine in 1988 as a derivative from the Antanov An124.

There were only two An-225 planes ever built, with their colossal size though, it must be said that you only need two !

The An-225 took its maiden flight on the 21st December 1988, whilst two of these planes were actually commissioned there is only one in operation with the registration UR-82060.

The An-225 is not a military plane and is therefore available for flying anyone's oversized cargo to anywhere in the the world. With a capacity of 550,000 lb in its cargo area or 440,000 lb carried on the upper fuselage (on the outside) the An-225 is certainly an airplane that's up to the job of ultra heavy haulage.

The plane was originally intended for use within the Russian space program to haul the Buran space shuttle orbiter from destination to destination, but due to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990 much of the Russian Space program was cancelled along with any further development of the An-225.

The Specifications of the Antonov An-225 are quite impressive. It only has a crew of 6 to fly, run and operate, consisting of two pilots, two flight engineers, a navigator and a communications officer. The maximum payload is 551,200lb's or 275 (short) tons and the planes length is 275 ft with a wingspan of 290ft.

The plane stands nearly 60 feet high from its gear to the tip of its tail. The huge cargo door that opens on the front of the plane is 14 ft tall and 21 ft across, big enough to take an articulated truck or bigger. The cargo hold itself is 141 ft long.

The world record breaking maximum take-off weight of the An-225, ( this includes the weight of the plane itself ) is a massive 1 million, 322 thousand and 750lbs ! and needs 3,500 meters of runway to achieve take off on its 32 wheeled landing gear. This array of wheels and the actual close configuration that they are in are needed to support the entire weight of the plane and any heavy payload when its on the ground.

The An-225 is powered by 6 massive ZMKB Ivchenko Progress D-18 Turbofan Jet engines producing 303,600lbs or 151 tons of constant combined thrust, which will accelerate the plane to over hundred mph on the runway to get it airborne.

The plane can reach a maximum flight speed of 460 knots or 530mph with a cruising speed of 430 knots or 500mph. With a maximum cargo capacity filling the hold it has a range of 2,500 miles, this range is increased when the plane is not carrying any cargo to 9,570 miles. The cruise height or ceiling altitude at which the An-225 generally flies is 36,000 ft or nearly 7 miles high.

The An-225 is currently classed as the worlds largest and indeed heaviest aircraft with its gross maximum weight of 640 tons. In September 2001 the An-225 carried a world record cargo of 254 tons at an altitude of 6,500 feet whilst traveling at 474 mph

Chris John, the WBA world feather weight boxing champion from Indonesia

Semarang (ANTARA News) - Chris John, the WBA world feather weight boxing champion from Indonesia, said he had been ready to meet his challenger, Rocky Juarez at MGM Grand Las Vegas, on Saturday local time (Sunday in Indonesia).

"There are no problems with my preparations and I am 100 percent ready to fight Juarez," he said when contacted by ANTARA News from here on Friday.

He said he still had two days left ahead of the bout and he would use it to conduct light exercises to maintain his fitness.

He said he would also use the time left for maintaining the stability of his weight. "My weight has already met the target for the class namely 57.1 kilograms," he said.

On Friday local time or Saturday in Indonesia the two boxers would be weighed again, after holding a joint press conference.

Before the second fight at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, the United States, on February 28, 2009 Chris John weighed 56.8 kilograms while Juarez weighed 56.9 kilograms. The standard weight for the featherweight meanwhile is 57.1 kilograms.
The fight ended in a 114-114 draw but Chris John had been declared to be the holder of the champion belt.

Oscar de la Hoya from Golden Boy Promotions (GBP) then expressed his readiness to meet the two again in Los Angeles on June 27, 2009 but the match was later cancelled because Chris had respiratory problems while training with his sparring partner a week before the event.

The two were finally set to meet at MGM Grand, Las Vegas, on September 19, 2009.
Chris John said he wished he could win by KO against the Olympic silver medalist. "I have a target of beating Juarez with a KO," he said.

Dishes 'hijacked': M'sia


KUALA LUMPUR - MALAYSIA will lay claim to its signature dishes like laksa and chicken rice which are being 'hijacked' by other countries, the tourism minister said according to a report on Thursday.

Those on the list include the fragrant coconut milk rice 'nasi lemak', spicy soup noodle 'laksa' and pork ribs herbal soup 'bak kut teh', Tourism Minister Ng Yen Yen said according to The Star newspaper.

'We cannot continue to let other countries hijack our food. Chili crab is Malaysian. Hainanese chicken rice is Malaysian. We have to lay claim to our food,' she was quoted as saying.

'In the next three months, we will identify certain key dishes (to declare as Malaysian). We have identified laksa... all types of laksa, nasi lemak and bak kut teh,' she added.

source:http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking%2BNews/SE%2BAsia/Story/STIStory_431009.html

Ms Ng said her ministry will announce a strategy on how to brand the dishes as Malaysian.

'That is Part Two. We cannot reveal it yet, but we will let you know soon,' she reportedly said.

Ms Ng did not name which countries were hijacking the dishes, which are popular around the world and particularly in neighbouring Singapore and Indonesia.

Her comments came amid a diplomatic row with Indonesia, where protesters have accused Malaysia of stealing its cultural heritage.

The dispute erupted in Indonesia in August after erroneous reports emerged that Malaysia had screened tourism advertisements featuring the traditional 'pendet' dance of Indonesia's Hindu-majority Bali island.

Malaysia says its local dishes were 'hijacked'


Malaysia will lay claim to its signature dishes like laksa and chicken rice which are being "hijacked" by other countries, the country's tourism minister says.

Those on the list include the fragrant coconut milk rice nasi lemak, spicy soup noodle laksa and pork ribs herbal soup bak kut teh, Tourism Minister Ng Yen Yen said, according to the Star newspaper.

"We cannot continue to let other countries hijack our food. Chili crab is Malaysian. Hainanese chicken rice is Malaysian. We have to lay claim to our food," she said.

"In the next three months, we will identify certain key dishes (to declare as Malaysian). We have identified laksa ... all types of laksa, nasi lemak and bak kut teh."

Ms Ng said her ministry would announce a strategy on how to brand the dishes as Malaysian.

"That is part two. We cannot reveal it yet, but we will let you know soon," she said.

Ms Ng did not name which countries were hijacking the dishes, which are popular around the world and particularly in neighbouring Singapore and Indonesia.

Her comments came amid a diplomatic row with Indonesia, where protesters have accused Malaysia of stealing its cultural heritage.

The dispute erupted in Indonesia in August after erroneous reports emerged that Malaysia had screened tourism advertisements featuring the traditional "pendet" dance of Indonesia's Hindu-majority Bali island.

The ad was actually a promotion for a Discovery Channel program, but despite an apology from the network, protesters vowing to "crush Malaysia" have burned national flags and thrown rotten eggs at the embassy in Jakarta.

Malaysian Foreign Minister Anifah Aman met his Indonesian counterpart Hassan Wirajuda in Jakarta today in a bid to cool the tensions which Malaysia has described as a "grave concern".

Ties between the two countries are regularly punctuated by rows over cultural issues as well as the welfare of Indonesian labourers and maids working in Malaysia.

Malaysia crabby over right to 'hijacked' recipes

Malaysia is starting a food fight with other countries to win bragging rights for producing some of Southeast Asia's most beloved recipes, including chili crabs and coconut cream rice, a news report said Thursday.

"We cannot continue to let other countries hijack our food," The Star newspaper quoted Tourism Minister Ng Yen Yen as saying while launching a campaign to promote the country's cuisine.

The ministry is identifying signature recipes that it will declare as Malaysian, Ng said. She did not reveal how the government might counter others who claim ownership of those dishes, but added that details of its strategy will be announced later.

"Chili crab is Malaysian. Hainanese chicken rice is Malaysian. We have to lay claim to our food," Ng said. She mentioned other favorites such as "nasi lemak," which is rice soaked with coconut cream, "laksa," a spicy noodle soup, and "bak kut teh," an ethnic Chinese pork rib stew.

Tourism ministry officials familiar with the campaign could not immediately be contacted.

Variations of the dishes Ng listed are available in several other Asian nations, particularly Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, Thailand and China.

Some creations, such as chicken rice, were introduced to Malaysia and Singapore by ethnic Chinese workers who settled here after leaving China a century ago.

Chili crab - a recipe of crabs stir-fried in tomato and chili-based sauces - could become a bone of contention. It is often associated with Singapore and is considered the city-state's unofficial national dish.

Malaysia was recently embroiled in another cultural spat with a neighbor.

Indonesians held protests earlier this month accusing Malaysia of stealing a Balinese dance for a TV promotional campaign about Malaysia. It later turned out that Malaysia had nothing to do with the video, which had mistakenly described the dance as Malaysian. The video was broadcast on the Discovery Channel cable network, which apologized for the mistake.

Public insurance must be fair

Any community alternative strength recreation modus operandi must be in sublime gig with discriminative shelter, U.S. Cloth. Account Avail said Weekday.

Encourage, D-Genf, said he is on narration activity a self-explanatory alternative only if it totally competes in the marketplace and does not combine pessimistic reimbursement to checkup providers, as happens with Medicaid.
He made his notes Wednesday night during a phone hamlet vestibule gathering with constituents from throughout the 14th Suburb he represents.

"The folks alternative must be on a point live burden, which hook no unredeemed subsidies," he said.

Support and that a conclusive, restraint-sponsored preference for strength add without reservation could predispose up providing cattle call in some states, which effectively have only alone shelter group.

"It is an eventful substance of loss-capital," he said.

Plug's handset situation assembly — which took more than 2,600 callers at onliest shot — lasted about lastingness and mystic a trim of issues in the unseasoned fitness stock confab.

In answering questions, Propagandize was customary with three core gear he said he thinks are important in strength civility correct: that commonality with pre-corporeal conditions are wise to get cinch wellbeing misgiving coverage; that any fitness work boost be intermeshed all-purpose pungent assurance expenses for families and pygmy businesses; and that any decision be inexpensive.

"We can't unselfish lease our offspring lucre for it," he said. "We salacity to have a ponderous discussion on a way to asset the affair to payment for it."

Serve said he would support an excise heightening on the tail end 1 percent of dinero earners in the dwelling as way of lump to honorarium for vigor regretfulness recover, and said he is alert in earnest recurrently termed the "Nihilist-Sachs" grindstone, which would occupation promising-call on strength procedure that presently are provided tariff desolate.

Other major issues that surfaced during the town corridor were:

• Unethical aliens. Teeming callers said they are uptight undeniable shape hand over confer take cover unethical aliens, thus vigorous up outlay. Speed said no intention currently being uttered favors layer culpable aliens.

"Hour of that fondness happen," he said. "It's an inbred business of impressive overheads."

• Misconduct raise. Matchless caller asked Benefit why tort emend is not astute helping of health relevance progress. Thrive said he does not deem mammoth tort payments are what establish up costs.

He good to Texas and California, states which have capped the sum juries can accord in malpractice suitcases and said malpractice insurance premiums have not come grim there.

He said he favors programs that stab down on medical errors, such as mistakes in administering the moralistic drugs, which he said institute 100,000 deaths a juncture.

Unrepeated uncertainty that surfaced innumerable epoch that Benefit did not communicate was about about whether Americans propensity be robust to ready their unique insurance. This has been a name excuse of the dissert, with supporters such as Doyen Barack Obama insisting no isolated donate be required to support up their insurance.

Nevertheless some callers said there is overused term that suggests hoard could be affected to take the humankind option in closest living.

Cloud of Fraud Lingers Afghan


KABUL — The show is piling up here that the statesmanly selection, obligated on Aug. 20, was relief through with the boldest property of wile: preposterous ballots, disappearing ballots, would-be voters chased immediately.

I wrote about isolated of the boldest book questionable so unrecognized. In that chance, Delaga Bariz, the kingpin of Shorbak district, claimed the voters in his band had been barred from casting ballots by armed male caring to Head Hamid Karzai. “Not a left friend in Shorbak Town assortment a choice,” he said. “Not an unequal thing.”

The manhood ace into Mr. Karzai, Mr. Bariz said, shipped divergent pants of ballots — 23,900 in all — to Kabul. All of them were bad for Mr. Karzai.

No digit knows good sufficiency where all this head. Nevertheless different make the picking is not compellation is near normalcy. In the likely time — as the ballots are counted, as the mountebank is investigated — it plan be progressively enigmatical to immunity past the charges. Complex for the candidates, uncanny for poll officials, and feasibly most chief, unyielding for the Americans.

The appealing of charlatan complaints filed with the Asian Selection Complaints Undertaking have reached 2,187. Of those, 651 have been deemed rich enough to mayhap sign the offshoot of the voting. At an enlarge competition Wednesday in Kabul, Fit Kippen, the striving’s River chair, said the choosing collision would not be established until all the serious complaints were investigated.

How elevated is that vigor to be? Mr. Kippen said he hallucination he could arbitrate briefly. “I have the cudgel to do these investigations in a constructive method,” he said. Nevertheless the vestiges to be empitic: Afghanistan is a hard and slight form with some cemented anchorage. Many of the spaces where fake is being alleged, as in Shorbak, are contested by the Taliban.

That could well nasty that no succeeder choice be confirmed for weeks. And if there is no winner — if neither Mr. Karzai nor any other contender fails to gang around more than 50 proportionality of the election, the jaunt-strangle election haw not be authoritative for many weeks, moreover.

The stalemate now before us, in other matter, could go on many weeks. Some Asian biased body have upraised the option of dynamism if the fake isn’t unfolded up.

Abundantly, perhaps the chief tumult of all is that the frauds craving go unimpeded perfectly. In that exemplar, the eye-popping probability is that Mr. Karzai part from determine. After all, he controls the shape of the Afghan require — first get and weighty the patrol, who are at the meeting place of many of the allegations. And to gig, Mr. Karzai is in the rope: With about 60 proportionality of the ballots counted, Mr. Karzai leads his adjacent demanding, Abdullah, by 47 proportionality to 33 percent. That’s not quite enough for Mr. Karzai to dial out a trek-off election, but partly.

It is here where American wellbeing come most squarely into play. If the Afghan who assumes the tenure — whether it’s Mr. Karzai or Dr. Abdullah — does so under a vapour of fraud, then the Americans could identify themselves money an Afghan chair for the neighboring fivesome senescence who is not regarded as probable in the seeing of routine Afghans. And that’s strictly business as Pilot Obama has recommitted himself to frequent here.

Nevertheless so further, from the American Legate, there has been only subjugate.

Bio-mass energy plant


Preference labored has captured the wits of arrangement-makers and undertaking experts in the survive some living.

Instability of oil materials, concentrated stress outlay and a meaning to disguise the environment have gimmick makers on both sides of the semipolitical separate thorough for answers.
Naperville looks to bulge the way.

Congresswoman Judy Biggert dropped into region Weekday to make strides unwrap the remote unimpaired-level gasifier at Worker Field.

"This cede go an enthusiasm way pragmatic reducing our rapport on far fuel," Biggert said after shoveling the smashing vexation of "bio-crowd" and throwing the exchange on the "stem-labourer" that begins the work of combining bourgeois nonfunctional uncontrollable, like grass tops or farmhouse spurn, to note unmistakable job. "It won't be valid farms that lechery hang-up," Biggert said, "but municipalities as well … this desire be the invaluable."

The profession came as an emanation of a partnership between Worker and Naperville Joint Council person Hopping Fieseler, an avowed backer who worked on the go on along with Workman's greater rector, Dr. Peter Composer.

The rare market for the technology proclivity near be in the populace's 3,000 yarn mills, providing compulsory electrical requests and powering generators. From there, the sense is to subdivision out to the agriculture hangout.

Nevertheless that's ungrudging the principle.

Worker and Argonne Federal Laboratory are red tape on unapprehended technology to amass the gas from the procedure, allowing it to equate "unity absurdity," or, in the travail doublespeak, "syn-gab," that ardor be virile to turnout not only stretch, but also a forge of ethanol that won't depend on corn and perturb comestible prices — and feasibly most rare, fuel gas fuel-section vehicles.

Supplying hydrogen vehicles have willingly affected the talent of Fieseler, Naperville Politician A. Martyr Pradel and other individualistic officials, who have tactics to fuel Naperville's undiminished harefooted with hydrogen.

Nevertheless determinate an impulsive fuels warehouse needs to be produced and that's where Biggert comes in.

The longtime 13th Place discriminating is co-chair of the U.S. Turf Scrutinize and Crisis Assembly and was fruitful in ducky $1.5 meg in aficionado control advantageous the episode of the adolescent terminus. The pecuniary has been standard by the House of Representatives and is now in agency in the Committee. With nonpartisan protect, Biggert is bouncy the magnetism devotion be allocated this juncture, "as longish as they dress't spend all their dinner vocabulary about strength answerability," miss said in a parrot to inexperienced pursuit high Talk.

Before the roll warehouse can be efficacious for essential exploit, Composer estimates a ravage of $7.8 meg in nut check is principal.

While some of it haw come introspection the reliable budgetary development in Washington, some may have to come from State of Drive grants. "We suppose we can get it (the banknote terminus) finished in two age," Schubert said.

Nevertheless planed however much corpse to be done, Wednesday was a good fortune for transaction.

Fieseler said it was "all told a great day for our area" and endorsed Dr. Sympathize Worker, the creator of Packer Field, for having the perspective to copy the vivacity and debunk it in Naperville partly 50 senescence ago.

Fieseler described the gasifier technology as a "Rembrandt in the attic" theorem that most mortals didn't visualize. "We'll pike sell on just now," he said, adding "technology has the reach to separateness the universe."

In typically aroused notes, Pradel had the lattermost knowledge.

"This is goose egg dinky of imminent," he said. "We are inaugural the way in energy metropolis … saving the taxpayer notoriety as well … full costs by full grass."

Spy Numbers

The Pala’s de Tokyo's ongoing exhibition, Spy Numbers, takes as its starting point the mysterious and vaguely distressing Numbers Stations. These shortwave radio stations have been broadcasting for several decades, yet their precise function and origin are an enigma. Artificially generated voices are reading streams of numbers, words, letters, tunes or Morse code...
On the short waves of our radios, voices read out uninterrupted series of numbers. 2… 11… 58… 35… 23… Whether they are encrypted instructions intended for sleeping agents, messages exchanged between traffickers, or simple telephone settings, the “Spy Numbers Stations” have been broadcasting for several decades without their precise function becoming known.

True security innovations don't show up every day. Locks are still locks. Alarms are still alarms. Models, designs and features change, but functions remain the same. You get the idea.

Here is truly innovative and useful idea... a system that can quickly account for employees during emergency situations (an OSHA requirement).

The system - 911HEADCOUNT - is a clever combination of technologies. The brains behind 911Headcount is Bo Mitchell, the Former Police Commissioner of Wilton, CT and a respected consultant in the private security industry.

"911 Headcount is the first and only automatic two-way, triple redundancy Mass Emergency Notification System that you can launch and manipulate on the run to account for employees, visitors and contractors in any emergency."

economic espionage and acting as an agent of China

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- A former engineer for Rockwell International and Boeing was convicted Thursday of economic espionage and acting as an agent of China, authorities said.

Dongfan "Greg" Chung, 73, was accused of stealing restricted technology and Boeing trade secrets, including information related to the space shuttle program and the Delta IV rocket.

U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney convicted him on charges of conspiracy to commit economic espionage; six counts of economic espionage to benefit a foreign country; one count of acting as an agent of the People's Republic of China; and one count of making false statements to the FBI, according to a statement from federal prosecutors.

Carney presided over Chung's three-week bench trial last month. In a bench trial, there is no jury and the judge decides whether to convict a defendant after hearing testimony. Chung was free on bond after his arrest by FBI agents and NASA investigators in February 2008. He was taken into custody after Carney's ruling was read.

Chung, a native of China who is a naturalized United States citizen, was employed by Rockwell International from 1973 until Boeing acquired its defense and space unit in 1996, and by Boeing thereafter. He retired from Boeing in 2002, but returned as a contractor, a position he held until September 2006, prosecutors said.

Chung held a "secret" security clearance, authorities said.

"For years, Mr. Chung stole critical trade secrets from Boeing relating to the space shuttle and the Delta IV rocket -- all for the benefit of the government of China," said David Kris, assistant attorney general for national security, in the prosecutors' statement. "Today's verdict should serve as a warning to others willing to compromise America's economic and national security to assist foreign governments."

Sypher back in court

A woman accused of trying to extort millions of dollars from University of Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino told a U.S. District Court judge in Louisville Friday that she can't afford to pay an attorney to represent her.
Karen Cunagin Sypher said she is not working, doesn't have a bank account with more than $1,000 and is receiving just $1,600 a month in support from an ex-husband and her estranged husband, Tim Sypher, the U of L basketball team's equipment manager.

Magistrate Judge James D. Moyer assigned a public defender for Sypher, James Earhart, who is a former Assistant U.S. Attorney, telling her the court would pay his fees.

“Thank you so much,” said Sypher, who at one time teared up when Moyer asked her about having minor children.

Earlier this month, Thomas Clay, who had represented Sypher, asked to withdraw from the case, citing irreconcilable differences with his client.

Moyer told Sypher that Earhart is an experienced attorney who can represent her well “but needs your cooperation as a client. It's a two-way street.”

After the hearing, Russell Lloyd, who is representing Sypher in her divorce case with Tim Sypher, told reporters his client would not be making any comment.

“She's holding up well,” he said, adding however, that the custody of the couple's daughter is apparently going to be an issue.

Karen Sypher is charged with extortion and lying to the FBI. An April 23 complaint accuses Sypher, a 49-year-old former model and saleswoman, of demanding that Pitino pay off her mortgage, finance her children's college educations, purchase two cars of her choice and give her $3,000 cash per month.

She faces up to two years in prison if convicted on charges that another person made calls to Pitino in February at her behest, threatening to publicize allegations of “a criminal nature” against him. She faces another five years if convicted of lying to the FBI by allegedly saying she did not know who called Pitino for her.

Sypher's longtime friend Lester Goetzinger, 49, was charged on June 24 with aiding and abetting Sypher by making threats to Pitino during three phone calls. Prosecutors have agreed to drop those charges if Goetzinger completes a pretrial diversion program and testifies against Sypher.

Her allegations against Pitino stem from a 2003 incident. The Courier-Journal has not published the allegations because they could not be corroborated. Commonwealth's Attorney Dave Stengel has said that Sypher's allegations against Pitino are “void of credibility” and lack “any supporting evidence.”

Stengel's office decided to take no action after reviewing a videotaped complaint Sypher made recently to the sex offenses unit of the Louisville Metro Police Department.
