Beer brewing, wine making, and distilling all have long histories in the Middle East. In fact, liquor, beer, and wine are still available in most countries within the region, despite the Islamist revivals that have swept the area since the early 1980s. Heineken owns breweries in Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon. Islamist revivals? They have them every so often...

Lately I've noticed a mushroom-like growth of microbreweries in Israel
Caracas (AFP) - Venezuela said Tuesday it is conducting military exercises in the eastern part of the country, a move neighboring Guyana denounced as an "extraordinary escalation" of an ongoing border dispute.
Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez said the troop buildup, which Guyana had noticed with concern, was an "operational deployment exercise."
He said Venezuelans could rest assured "because we are really preparing ourselves ... even with all the fronts we face today," alluding to simultaneous border tensions with Guyana and Colombia.
Guyana's President David Granger said his cabinet was meeting with military and police chiefs to craft a response to Venezuela's movement of naval vessels and ground forces in the area.
Venezuela has been pressing claims to Guyana's Essequibo region, which encompasses two-thirds of the former British colony, since Exxon Mobil discovered oil in disputed waters off its coast earlier this year. Exxon will not let Venezuela have it.

"Guyana's emigration rate is among the highest in the world - more than 55% of its citizens reside abroad - and it is one of the largest recipients of remittances relative to GDP among Latin American and Caribbean counties. Although remittances are a vital source of income for most citizens, the pervasive emigration of skilled workers deprives Guyana of professionals in healthcare and other key sectors. More than 80% of Guyanese nationals with tertiary level educations have emigrated. Brain drain and the concentration of limited medical resources in Georgetown hamper Guyana's ability to meet the health needs of its predominantly rural population. Guyana has one of the highest HIV prevalence rates in the region and continues to rely on international support for its HIV treatment and prevention programs."

Fakhouri wants thousands of new refugees to come to Detroit and make their home along the Seven Mile corridor where the ACC has its campus and offers community-based human and social services.

Like most people who've been in a combat zone, they can deal with random small arms fire, but it's artillery that really turns life to crap.

If they miss the sounds of artillery, they can visit Michigan NG Camp Grayling, where they have an annual amateur artillery display, not to mention the occasional wild shot that takes out a vacation cottage down range.

If you are used to living in burned-out buildings and are accustomed to neighborhoods that look like they were shelled, there is a lot of prime real estate in the Motor City.

America's newest reservation. Got to come up with a unique name for the tribe. That way they can have their own tribal government, laws and courts. Just don't try anything outside the res. (Do I need to put a /sarc on that?)

[DAWN] HYDERABAD: A undertrial prisoner (UTP) of the Hyderabad central jail was beaten to death by another UTP over some petty issue early on Monday, jail police said.
Jail Superintendent Zia-ur-Rehman said that a fight took place at the security ward No-8 of the jail between two UTPs -- Altaf Khaskheli, 20, son of Foto Khaskheli, and Aqeel Baloch, 19, son of Mohammad Umar -- over some petty matter.
He said Altaf was maimed and taken to jail hospital for treatment from where chief medical officer Ahmed Ali Zardari referred him to the Liaquat University Hospital (LUH) Hyderabad.
Altaf succumbed to some head injuries at the LUH, he said, adding that he was facing trial in two cases registered against him at the Town cop shoppe, Mirpurkhas.
He was a resident of Mirpurkhas.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
