0 comments
Residents excavate through the mud where they think their bedroom once be.

perhaps there is still a loved one below there. possibly he or she is still alive, though hopes of finding survivors in China's massive mudslides are quick dimming.

The bereavement toll Wednesday soared to 1,117, the state-run Xinhua news organization reported, though restricted residents suppose that number to be upper.

Li Jinming had pulled up in his taxi when he witnessed the hedge of mud and rocks rush through Yueyuan. Rescue teams found the body of his wife but they are still searching for his two sons. He draws a map of his house, and points out where he believes his boys might have been.

Anxiety, grief and the stench of death overwhelmed Zhouqu County in China's northwestern Gansu province, where pouring rains triggered the mudslides Sunday. Emergency teams have rescued 1,243 people but 627 people are missing, xinhua said.

Memories of Amina and sarah killing

0 comments
On New Year’s celebration 2008, two teenagers Amina and Sarah were shot dead, their bloodied bodies left in a taxi cab. The alleged shooter is their father Yaser.
In fact, Sarah appears to identify her Dad as the murderer in a 9-11 call – her dying words. For more than two years the Fox News Reporting squad has been following this story and the investigate for Yaser, who vanished the night of the murders.
We learned this dark tale began long before the girls were born. Their mother Patricia married the Egyptian-born Said when she was only 15 years old. She says her husband violently abused her during their 20-year marriage.
Over the route of our investigation, Fox News’ Gregg Jarrett made several trips to Texas, taping hours of interviews with investigators, relatives and family friends.
We also obtained never-before-broadcast video of the girls that was secretly shot by their father. In light of what happened to Amina and Sarah, it’s extremely disturbing footage.
If Yaser Said killed his daughters, what was his motive? His American wife Tissy claims he did so because their girls were dating boys that weren’t Muslim.
While friends and family call the murders honor killings, it’s a label the FBI and local police have been hesitant to use.
In fact, 8 months after the deaths of Amina and Sarah the FBI added the words “honor killing” to their wanted poster but days later, removed them.

John The Baptist Remain Was Found In Bulgaria

0 comments
Archaeologist state in Bulgaria that they have found remains of John the Baptist whereas excavating the site of a 5th century monastery on the Black Sea island of Sveti Ivan.

A reliquary – a container for holy relics – discovered last week under the monastery’s basilica was opened on Sunday and found to have bone fragments of a skull, a hand and a tooth, Bulgaria’s official news agency BTA reported.

Quarry leader Kazimir Popkonstantinov lifted the reliquary’s lid in a ceremony in the coastal town of Sozopol attended by dignitaries including the Bishop of Sliven, Yoanikii, and Bozhidar Dimitrov, a government minister and director of Bulgaria’s National History Museum, BTA said.

Further tests on the fragments are appropriate to be carried out. But Popkonstantinov is convinced the relics belong to John the Baptist because of a Greek inscription on the reliquary referring to June 24, the date when Christians celebrate John the Baptist’s birth, according to the website of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church.

The reliquary is made of alabaster and dates from approximately the middle of the 5th century, Popkonstantinov told reporters. The southern Black Sea coast was then part of the Byzantine Empire, ruled from Byzantium, now Istanbul in Turkey.

Dimitrov told Focus the relics may once have been donated to the monastery by the Byzantine church. The Topkapi Palace museum in Istanbul is one of numerous sites claiming to house relics purported to be those of John the Baptist.

Reggie Bush Trophy And His Image was take away From USC university grounds

0 comments
In a letter to school supporters, arriving USC President Max Nikias states that Garrett will be replaced by Pat Haden effective Aug. 3 and the school also will return its copy of Bush's trophy to the Heisman Trust, among more than a few measures to disassociate itself from the Super Bowl winning tailback.
“We're going to do better,” Haden said. “We have to do better. We don't have any choices here. We stub our toe, there's going to be some problems.”
Reggie Bush may have thought that he didn't have to deal with the issues that the University of Southern California has come under fire for but the University has decided to handle the situation for him.
In an effort to clean up the now tarnished image of its athletic department, USC Athletic director Mike Garrett and Reggie Bush's Heisman Trophy are the first two items to go.
USC was hit with four years of trial, a two-year bowl ban and severe football scholarship restrictions after the NCAA found serious rules violations in the athletic department, primarily around the football and men's basketball teams. Most involved illegal benefits for Bush and O.J. Mayo, the talented basketball player who spent just one season at USC.
The NCAA cited Garrett's administration for a lack of institutional control while slapping the school with heavy sanctions last month, but Haden believes he can change the culture of a program that has been wildly successful and heavily scrutinized over the past decade.

Angelina Jolie:Act as Super Spy in Salt

0 comments

Angelina Give her best to the movie”salt” it is very challenging to her.
Salt, a CIA official accused of being a Russian spy, dashes home to grab the supplies she needs to go on the run and hunt for her husband, who's missing. She grabs a backpack hidden in a trunk full of clothes, but while she's there she also sees her scruffy, little terrier, padding about the apartment, nervous because everything is in upheaval. Once she escapes by climbing out the window and slinking from ledge to ledge, high above the sidewalk — barefoot in a pencil skirt, in the winter, no less — she persuades a young girl in a neighboring apartment to let her in.
There, Salt opens the backpack and produces — you guessed it — the aforementioned scruffy, little terrier. (Good thing they didn't have a Great Dane.) And you realize right then and there that anyone who would go to that much trouble to save a dog cannot be a bad person. It's impossible. So from that point on, while there's tension in "Salt," there really is no suspense. Any attempts to confuse us about our heroine's true nature — and there are many — feel like an elaborate sham.
Under the direction of Phillip Noyce, though, at least it's a well-made sham. "Salt" allows Noyce to return to the kind of action thrillers he's made previously, like the Tom Clancy adaptations "Patriot Games" and "Clear and Present Danger." It's muscular, gritty and propulsive. (Robert Elswit, an Oscar winner for "There Will Be Blood," is the cinematographer.) It's also totally ludicrous and lacking in even the slightest shred of humanity.

Eastern European street kids facing 'HIV epidemic'

0 comments

Growing numbers of vulnerable children across Eastern Europe and Central Asia are at risk of dying from AIDS, with widespread drug use and the sex trade contributing to an "underground HIV epidemic," UNICEF warned on Monday.

The former Soviet states, from Baltic Russia to Tajikistan in Central Asia, and parts of the Balkans remain the only regions of the world where rates of HIV infection continue the rise, according to the UNICEF report, released at an international HIV/AIDS conference in Vienna, Austria.

"Today, street children in the region are dying of AIDS and drug use in much the same way as they died of cold, famine and typhoid in the twentieth century," claims the report, entitled "Blame and Banishment."

Newly diagnosed HIV cases increased by eight percent in Russia in 2009, by 10 percent in Georgia and by 22 percent in Belarus, according to figures released last week by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). Some parts of Russia have experienced a 700 percent increase in rates of infection since 2006, UNICEF says.

Widespread social stigmatization and discrimination associated also threaten to drive the epidemic underground, warned UNICEF's regional HIV/AIDS specialist Nina Ferencic.

"There's an unwillingness to acknowledge that there are young people and minors involved in these behaviors," said Ferencic, a co-author of the report.

United States wants to recall some toyota models..................

0 comments




"Toyota takes its responsibility to advance vehicle safety seriously and to alert government officials of any safety issue in a timely manner," she said.
Toyota has recalled more than 8.1 million vehicles worldwide for problems related to sudden acceleration and unresponsive brake pedals, among other things. The company has apologized for the safety lapses and pledged to repair the recalled vehicles quickly.
The recalls under investigation include two related to the entrapment of gas pedals by floor mats. Those recalls were announced last fall and expanded early this year. The third, announced in January, involved sticking gas pedals.
If the investigation determines that Toyota violated its statutory obligations, NHTSA said the manufacturer could be liable for a fine of up to $16.4 million.


That's the maximum penalty under a 2000 law that established stiffer civil, and even criminal, penalties for automakers that fail to promptly report safety defects to federal regulators in a timely way.
The Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation Act, or TRED, was passed in response to dozens of deadly Ford Explorer rollover crashes caused by faulty Firestone tires. No fines were ever levied in that case.
The biggest fine that's ever been levied was just $1 million taken from General Motors in 2004 for failing to deal promptly with a windshield wiper issue, an amount that was negotiated down from the $3 million NHTSA originally asked for.

Indians was killed; Maoist was suspected

0 comments
There are 24 paramilitary troops and a civilian were killed in an armed
assault on their camp by suspected Maoists in eastern India, a district official
said Tuesday.
The attackers struck India's Eastern Frontier Rifles camp in
West Bengal state's West Midnapore district on Monday.
Top district official
Narayan Swaroop Nigam told CNN that the raiders arrived on different types of
vehicles and that they were equipped with sophisticated self-loading
weapons.
He insisted that Indian troops retaliated with fire. Two attackers
apparently died, but their bodies had not yet been recovered, Nigam
said.
"Security forces have combed the area and a manhunt has been launched,"
he added.
India regards the communist rebels as its gravest internal
security threat. The Maoists, on the other hand, have claimed since the 1960s to
be fighting for the dispossessed.
Just about a week ago, India's Home
Minister P. Chidambaram acknowledged that more than 900 people, including almost
600 civilians, were killed in Maoist-related incidents in 2009. Besides, some
200 suspected rebels were also slain as forces moved into areas under insurgent
control, he said.

Iran: No problem with nuclear plan

0 comments


Iran's president has indicated his country may be ready to ship its uranium abroad for enrichment, in line with a UN-backed proposal.
For months Iranian officials have criticised the plan proposed by six world powers last year for Iran to send out the bulk of its low-enriched uranium to be processed and returned as nuclear fuel to power its reactor.
But on Tuesday, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran would have "no problem" doing so.
"Some people made a fuss about it. There is no problem. We will seal a contract and we will give you 3.5 per cent uranium to enrich it to 20 per cent levels in four or five months and return to us," he said in an interview with Iranian broadcaster IRIB on Tuesday.
He dismissed concerns by "colleagues'' that the West would not return the uranium, saying Iran would respond to that by continuing to produce its own enriched uranium.
"If they don't return it, what will happen? We will be proven right, and then it will be proven that the agency [International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA] was not reliable and they will be discredited. Then we will be free to rely on ourselves for our activities."
