Baitullah Mehsud Killed in US Drone Attack
Thursday, August 13, 2009
After a couple of Hellfire missiles to blow through the roof, fired from the CIA plane floating in the inky sky. The commander of the Taliban, his wife, brother and several bodyguards were killed, Rehman Malik, Pakistan's Interior Minister said today.
The death of the drone can be silent, but news of the disappearance, according to Mehsud has been hailed as a signal victory for Pakistan in the fight against violent extremism rocky. The border was a warrior, priest, head of the suicide bombers, Mehsud had been mainly in Pakistan that Osama bin Laden, and she feared that the Iraqi insurgents, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was killed two years ago.
"This is an obstacle to the Taliban," said Brigadier Mehmood Shah, former chief of security in the tribal areas.
His death is also impressed by the strike of American high-tech, low risk of war in the tribal belt of Pakistan. Faced with an isolated increase in the tax base in western Pakistan, the drone pilots would sit in the U. S. Air Force in the Nevada desert, thousands of kilometers.
But while it looks like a computer game for the season, the most recent attack was trembling repercussions far beyond the strike site.
Mehsud, as the reports on the elimination of filtration and gunfight between Mehsud and a rival loyalist group occurred in the town next to the tank, so that at least 14 people were killed. In the capital, Islamabad, police chief of increased security, fear of retaliations from the legion of suicide bombers, the reputation of Mehsud.
And somewhere deep inside Waziristan, a meeting of key members of Mehsud is to determine who is his successor as head of the Taliban, Pakistan Tehrik me (TTP), the most powerful militant from Pakistan.
Mehsud was dead speculation began last night, when White House officials told journalists on "convincing evidence that" the leader of Taliban were killed. Today lunch confirm qualified staff began to appear.
"He was out," said Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, noting that "100 percent confirmation was unable to forensic team arrived at the scene.
But Senior Assistant Mehsud, Kafayat Ullah confirmed Mehsud and his wife were killed in the absence of information. Pakistani TV channel quoted a source said that they were buried in Narkosai, a small village not far from the strike site.
For the first time, the Pakistanis saw a man who was to follow as the station to air photos of the face that Mehsud was suppressed after the Taliban threat.
In Washington, White House Representative Robert Gibbs declined to confirm the death, but is a "growing consensus among observers that it is true, in fact, dead."
This was the culmination of a long chase by Pakistani and U.S. troops. Nine out of 10 strikes in the United States Buzz Mehsud tribal belt of Pakistan presided over the network. In March, United States - to $ 5 million of wealth in his head, and Pakistan have $ 650,000. The guarantee was issued by the Pakistani army, mobilizing troops and tanks on the border of the mountain fortress Mehsud over the last six weeks in preparation for a possible attack.
Strike the end of a career, which is short as it was brutal. Mehsud, 39, rose to importance in 2005 after signing a controversial peace treaty with the Pakistani army. Slightly more than two years later, the emir, or commander of the TTP, time to restore the confidence of some 14 militant groups in the tribal belt.
Mehsud is the Public Enemy Number One, disgusting and terrifying Pakistanis with the relentless wave of suicide bombings that have killed hundreds of soldiers, police officers and civilians. Nevertheless, he claims the CIA was responsible for the notorious bombing - in the December 2007 assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Group of the UN investigation into the killing.
Mehsud is estimated up to 20,000 fighters under their control. Their power was in connection with a high degree of support for al-Qaida figures - Arab refugees, and hundreds of ethnic Uzbek militia - price reductions in South Waziristan.
Currently, the Taliban is dominated by two rival commanders - Qari Gul Bahadur in North Waziristan Maulvi Nazir in South Waziristan - have lower public, with an emphasis on cross-border incursions into Afghanistan, where elections are held in less than two weeks.
Heavy Rain Meteor is Expected Tonight
Wednesday, August 12, 2009
In North America, this is the best time to watch from midnight to 5 hours on Wednesday, August 12, but late at night on Tuesday and Wednesday night, may also prove useful, depending on weather conditions.
In Perseidy always reliable and often spectacular. The only thing that shock in August, bad weather or bright moonlight. Unfortunately, this week, as Perseidy reaches its climax on Tuesday and Wednesday night, the moon high in the sky, outshining the weak meteors.
However, Skywatcher worldwide will be able to see the brightest meteors. Some of them have already enjoyed the show.
Already under way
In Perseidy are pieces of debris from comet Swift-Tuttle, multiple streams of debris, each in a different location, throughout the centuries, as the orbit of the Sun. Each year in August, Earth in the landslides that occur over time.
"They tend to be fast, brilliant and sometimes persistent trains," said Joe Rao SPACE.com 'S Skywatching columnist. "And sometimes, a fireball Perse call another bright that it was quite spectacular and more capable of attention, even in bright moonlight."
Small quantities Perseidy, including some bright fireballs were on earth began in late July. Experienced observers counted up to 25 per hour, or about every two minutes.
Most meteors are not more than a pea. Evaporate when entering the Earth's atmosphere, a bright stripe across the sky.
In Perseidy seems to emanate from the constellation Perseus, which rises into the sky at midnight, and it is almost more than in the morning. Like most meteor showers, hours between midnight and dawn are usually the best time to see, because if the parties that the planet rotates in the direction of the Earth by space travel, what meteors "Collection" in the atmosphere at higher prices, such as the windscreen of car life more errors with the rear bumper.
Astronomers expect up to 200 meteors per hour in a short flash up to 15 minutes or less. But many of the weaknesses of meteorites are not available because the full moon, and prices fall even more in urban areas. In contrast, a typical observer, with a dark sky, it can be assumed that the "Meteor" every few minutes, in the case of the burst, and less rest.
Best time to see
The best time to see it between midnight and dawn on Wednesday. Projections suggest that the best way, perhaps, 4 pm to 5 pm ET (1-2 pm PST), after the early morning hours in Europe. Some may Perseidy late at night on Tuesday and Wednesday night to Thursday morning may be helpful, too.
Meteor forecasting is still in its infancy, so the best option for those who truly hunger for the shooting stars as possible for the observation time of about 11 hours on Tuesday evening to Wednesday morning, and if you show that at the same period Wednesday night to Thursday morning.
Meteors should be in the early morning hours, the weather permitted, throughout the northern hemisphere.
Earth through a dense portion of the waste stream at any time on 12 August, "said Bill Cooke, NASA's Office of the Organization of meteoroid environment. "So you can see several dozen meteors per hour."
Viewing Tips
Better situation is very far from the city and suburban lights. Ideally, structure, trees or mountains to block the moon. After studying a lot of sky as possible. In the meteors can be anywhere, heading in any direction. If you go on the way back, they all point to the constellation Perseus.
People in those places where this could happen in any cold to warm clothes, as they deem necessary to ensure the time.
Seasoned Skywatcher consult with a blanket or chair for comfort, so you can relax and search for a long time. Leave at least 15 minutes for the eyes, in order to complete darkness. Then wait for sporadic meteors you can see two lines, or perhaps for several minutes between the shooting stars.
Avid meteor observers attempt horizon in the north-east of 9 hours to 11 hours (local time, wherever you are) to feed the horizon Perseidy.
"Land of Graz meteors approach from the horizon and skim the atmosphere over a stone skipping the surface of the pond," explains Cook. "They have a long, slow and colorful - some of the meteors." Indicates that one time to see the network in May, only a few of them at the most, but you can still see that the whole night worth it.

Swine Flu - Feds Give Advice to Schools
Sunday, August 9, 2009
Swine influenza is expected to return when the children return from school, and the government hopes its new Council at the closure of schools during the outbreak to prevent panic and confusion, closing hundreds of schools, last spring.
The Government has approved new guidelines for schools on Friday next, when the pig flu strikes. Unlike seasonal influenza, the virus can not be removed with hot and humid in summer and has so far infected more than 1 million Americans.
"We should not close schools, but really, in some schools closed this fall," Arne Duncan, Minister of Education, said this week in a forum with government officials, the program online.
That decision, which in fact corresponds to a local school. Nevertheless, we expect that the officials of the federal government for advice on a new strain of influenza, as a result of the global epidemic or pandemic.
"I try in the first place as a father," Duncan said Friday at a news broadcast on the national level. "I want my children to continue learning, and they are safe." He said officials are asked parents to use common sense "and encourage their children to wash their hands vigorously several times a day, and other security measures.
"We want as many facts as they are for local authorities, he said. "In fact, this is a reaction to. With a small number of children in school, the sick, we want parents to their home. If the dramatic escalation of numbers, you may have to close the school."
Duncan said officials assume that the vaccine is from mid-October, and they want great schools for vaccines.
The administration wants to order the chaos of last spring, when more than 700 schools in half the states have closed their doors. There are approximately 132,000 public and private educational institutions in the United States
Students have an unexpected holiday, but many parents are trying to find children liquidation.
Schools are in detention centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that schools generally close for two weeks, when the suspicion of pig influenza.
Then, CDC reversed course, saying that the school should not close, because the virus is less than feared. Instead, he said they were from parents of sick children at home, at least for a week.
Duncan said at the summit of pig influenza last month that closing schools should be "a last resort, rather than in the first place."
He said this week that the schools should be common sense. "If you have a sick child is one. If you have a large number of children, the sick, which is another," said Duncan.
Although this is a new influenza virus, the issue of closing schools is not. Every winter, flu outbreaks quickly regulate a relatively small number of schools in order for several days because of high absenteeism among students and staff.
In addition to the new direction for the termination, CDC and the Ministry of Education, this week is a new control system to close schools throughout the country.
But in the air, whether the school will be a vaccine clinics, though Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said it makes sense. "We see the school as a potential partner," he said at the Forum with Duncan.
Children are on the list of priorities for the first dose of vaccine against pig flu, but because of lack of time required for testing and manufacturing of vaccines can not begin until the school was in session more than a month, the government targets in the 15 th October. Many questions remain, even if people need a shot or two for protection. In addition to the winter flu vaccine is also recommended for children.
States and schools should be able to mass vaccination, federal officials said.
You should also plans to educate children in schools located in the area, Duncan said.

The odds of catching a sexually transmitted infection ....
Chlamydia
Evil bacteria "chlamydia trachomatis" jumps ship during oral sex, proper nookie or, oddly, by getting spunk in your eye.
SyphilisIt's simple-Mr. Pecker rubs against infected lesions inside a vagina/anus, scabs crack, exciting-sounding "Treponema Pallidum" bacteria escapes .... and then writhes into your bloodstream to start munching your organs.
NSUYour tongue or penis has to barely enter a chlamydia, herpes, thrush, gonorrhoea or warts-infected vagina (or rectum for you Greeks) and on top of catching that disease you'll probably develop Non-Specific Urethritis, too.
HIVHave unprotected jiggy with an HIV carrier and there's a 70% chance the virus will infect you, then a 100% chance it'll develop into the fatal AIDS.
HerpesA cheery nosh from someone sporting face-biscuits and the grim virus will spread sores across your undercarriage. Shag and it hops like a'roo from genital to genital.
TrichomoniasisAs if vaginas weren't scary enough, get a microscope and you'll see "Trichomoniasis Vaginalis" parasites waving their four antennae. Every lass needs a few, for cleanliness, but come a bacteria upset (caused by dirty pants) and the bugs breed so much they'll seek asylum on you.
Genital WartsThere are more than 100 types of "Human Papillomavirus", which pop up 12 weeks after oral, genital or anal sex with an infectee.
GonorrhoeaPenis or mouth merely brushing the infected innards of fanny (english) or fanny (American) allows "Neisseria Gonorhoea" microbes to worm across and start spreading their special, gloopy mucous.
Hepatitis BExchange bodily fluids (blood/spunk) with an infectee and there's 70% chance you'll pick up this incurable killer virus.
