Hosni Mubarak, Egypt's president for 26 years, has urged his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to run for a third term despite a two term-limit imposed by Russia's constitution on the presidential post.
A mere inconvenience.
Russian presidential elections are scheduled for 2008 and Mubarak in an interview with Russian daily ahead of a visit to Moscow described Putin as a "good and intelligent leader". "Russia needs Putin," Mubarak told Vremya Novostei, adding that he would tell the Russian president to "stay [on as president] and don't listen to what anyone says."
"Hey, it worked for me, and it'll work for my son, too."
"He [Putin] knows the situation in Russian and the rest of the worl well. Why not let him stay on?" the Egyptian president describing the Russian constitution's two-term limit on the presidential post as an attempt to ape the American system. "You criticise the Americians, and then you imitate them," he said.

There was a story few years ago that Putty has some blue-blood ancestors, don't recall exactly... recalling coat of arms with 5 crowns, that would be a prince. Though, I think that was entirely made up, likely testing the waters.
So, let's roll the crystal ball.. Will Putty stay put? And will he become Putty I, the Prince of Darkness Russia ?

The vessel departed Sharjah, UAE on 19 October 2006 with a cargo of Marine Gas Oil (MGO) en route to tuna fishing grounds in the Indian Ocean - approximately 200 NMs south of Salalah, Oman.
The vessel is reported missing, with the last contact on 21 October 2006, and its last known in the vicinity of Al Had, Oman.
The owner reports the master and crew have taken over the vessel with intent of selling the cargo and sailing to South Korea. The Master is purportedly negotiating with owner payment for return of the vessel. I guess the crew can't eat the oil
The Owner believes vessel may still be IVO Omani coast.

Actually, EO operatives {supposedly "former"} run an anti-piracy service licensed by Sierra Leone. They are the only effective Coast Guard in that area.

Likely the crew hasn't been paid or is owed a sustantial amount of back-pay. If the owner followed common practice, they established a corporation whose sole asset is the ship. Makes it awfully hard to ding the real owner for back-pay, especially given what conditions flag-of-convenience mariners have to face.
The UK is to use the warnings of irreversible climate change and the biggest economic slump since the 1930s, outlined in yesterday's Stern review, to press for a new global deal to curb carbon emissions.
The government is urgently pushing ahead on the issue because the existing Kyoto protocol runs out in 2012, and there is no binding agreement to extend it. Downing Street is seeking the outline of a package with the G8 industrial nations and five leading developing countries by next year, or 2008 at the latest.
Tony Blair will lobby the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, to put the need for international cooperation on climate change at the heart of Germany's G8 presidency when it begins in January.
In a clear sign that the issue unites No 10 and the Treasury, Gordon Brown will also be pushing for a radical rethink of the United Nations and the World Bank which, he believes, are not equipped to oversee a carbon trading scheme, including the principles on which carbon emission allocations would be handed out to individual countries.
Downing Street sources said the prime minister wanted a framework that included a target for stabilising CO2 emissions, a global scheme to cap and trade carbon emissions, a global investment fund for new green technologies and action to stop deforestation. The agreement would include three countries that were not part of Kyoto - the United States, China and India.
Launching the review into the economics of climate change by the Treasury economist Sir Nicholas Stern, the prime minister said: "Without radical measures to reduce carbon emissions within the next 10-15 years, there is compelling evidence to suggest we might lose the chance to control temperature rises."
The review said a "business as usual" model could result in temperatures rising by 5C above pre-industrial levels, leading to a cut of 5-20% in global living standards.
Mr Brown, who shared a platform with Mr Blair at yesterday's launch, said it was no longer enough for economic policy to be based around growth and full employment. "In the 21st century, our new objectives will be threefold: growth, full employment and environmental care."
Both prime minister and chancellor accepted that green taxes would have to form part of the solution to global warming. Treasury sources said tackling the threat of climate change would form the centrepiece of a Brown premiership and that the chancellor was preparing to reject recommendations from the imminent Eddington review on transport if, as expected, it proposes widescale roadbuilding and aviation growth. The review is due to be published before next month's pre-budget report and is seen inside government as a test of the government's green credentials.
The Treasury is also sending Sir Nicholas on a tour of China, India, the US and Australia to set out British thinking and press home the central thesis of his review - that it will cost the world far more later if it does not spend money now to avert climate change.
In an attempt to shore up the government's domestic record on climate change, the environment secretary, David Miliband, rushed out a Commons statement promising that the government will legislate in the next parliamentary session to put into statute a long-term goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 60% by 2050. Interim, but not the annualised targets sought by the opposition and some Labour backbenchers, will be set.
The bill will also set out an independent body - the carbon committee - to work with the government to reduce emissions. The committee is expected to be modelled on the monetary policy committee of the Bank of England. The bill will also create enabling powers to put in place the new emissions reduction measures needed to achieve these goals.
But, reflecting the speed with which the government has backed the principle of the bill, ministerial sources were unable to say what sanctions would be imposed on the British government or industry if targets were not met.
Consumers could be hit by steep price rises for a range of goods from food to hotel breaks under plans to tackle climate change being considered by David Miliband.
The Environment Secretary is consulting taking sweeping powers to extend curbs on greenhouse gas emissions so that they cover many more businesses, including supermarkets and hotel chains — curbs that at present apply only to the big industrial users. The costs incurred are potentially huge and are likely to be passed on to the consumer.
The proposal to take “enabling powers” to extend the carbon-trading scheme to other sectors will be taken in the new Climate Change Bill, Mr Miliband confirmed yesterday.
But amid signs of a government split on how to respond to Sir Nicholas SternÂ’s report on the impact of global warming, Gordon Brown is to reject Cabinet calls for swingeing tax rises on motorists and domestic consumers, The Times has learnt.
Airline passengers and drivers of large “gas-guzzling” vehicles will bear the brunt of green tax levies, to be introduced by the Chancellor in his last Budget in March. But Mr Brown is opposed strongly to measures that would allow petrol prices to rise even when the world price of oil slumped, as proposed in a leaked letter to him from Mr Miliband.
The disclosure over the weekend of Mr Miliband’s “wish list” of taxation measures angered the Treasury and sources were blaming “rogue elements” in No 10 yesterday for its appearance over the weekend. Mr Brown was said to be upset because the leak focused attention on speculation about tax rises rather than on the central message of Sir Nicholas’s report; that if the world took concerted action on global warming growth need not be affected.
Allies of the Chancellor described the leak as an attempt to put pressure on Mr Brown and to test his modernising credentials.
When they appeared with Sir Nicholas at the launch of his report yesterday both Mr Brown and Tony Blair emphasised the importance of international action - rather than domestic taxes - to reduce carbon emissions. Mr Brown made it plain that he was pinning his hopes on a massive expansion of the carbon trading scheme, by which governments aim to reduce pollution through market mechanisms.
He suggested that the scheme, under which firms have to buy credits to emit more than a set level of greenhouse gases, should be extended by linking it with others in California, Australia, Japan and elsewhere.
The Climate Change Bill will enshrine in law the Government’s long-term aim of reducing carbon emissions by 60 per cent by 2050. Thousands of organisations, from supermarket groups to hotel chains, are not covered by EU schemes limiting carbon emissions. The “enabling powers” would allow ministers to extend these curbs at will across the rest of Britain’s businesses — with potentially huge cost consequences. Many companies that broke possible limits on their emissions and were forced to buy “carbon credits” would be likely to pass on costs to the consumer.
The Environment Department confirmed that the powers could be used to extend curbs to “non-energy intensive” sectors. It said in the summer that measures for businesses not covered by the EU trading scheme, and which account for a tenth of Britain’s greenhouse gases, could bring carbon savings of 1.2 million tonnes a year by 2020.
David Frost, the head of the British Chambers of Commerce, said that the measures would amount to “stealth tax” in which “business becomes the villain”.
Thousands of riot police backed by helicopters and armoured trucks have broken up burning barricades to seize Mexico's popular tourist city of Oaxaca, firing water cannons to disperse leftist protesters. In the city's main square, hundreds of activists carrying metal poles and sticks braced for a showdown with the police, who gathered at the four corners of the plaza holding riot shields and wearing gas masks. Hundreds more demonstrators surrounded six busloads of unarmed police in another part of the city, forcing them to flee and setting fire to the buses.
Mexico sent federal forces to seize the city after gunmen thought to be local police shot dead a US journalist and two other people on Friday.
Mexico sent federal forces to seize the picturesque colonial city, which striking teachers and activists have occupied since May to demand the state governor's resignation, after gunmen thought to be local police shot dead a US journalist and two other people on Friday. Protesters fled as armoured trucks, with V-shaped ploughs and flanked by riot police, moved on the city centre, destroying barricades of burning tyres, rocks and old furniture. They fired water cannon at anyone in their way and SWAT teams with assault rifles followed behind them.

A group of protesters threw rocks at the trucks as helicopters buzzed overhead, and another burning bus blocked a downtown intersection. Several blocks from the city centre, dozens of demonstrators, many using goggles to protect their eyes from tear gas, waited behind a barricade of burning tyres, which sent plumes of thick smoke into the evening sky.
"It makes me annoyed that I can't do anything," said Maylet Pacheco, a 26-year-old teacher. "We asked for a solution and this is what they offer us," she said, pointing down the street at advancing riot police.

That's cause the 40 or so ruling families of Mexico are annoyed you didn't take their hint and 'tour' San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or other Gringo Mexican tourist towns and stay.

You knew this crackdown was coming. What is behind their protest ? I know they're identified as leftists. They probably are commies, but the disinformation put out by Mex gov't is as helpful as a bag of warm shit.

This is Chiapas, home to Subcommandante Marcos, a hard left revolutionary.
Who IIRC let it be known last year that he has embraced Islam.
His group swung into action about 6 months ago again with the strikes in the runup to the Mexican election. When the left wing candidate lost by a small margin, the teachers wanted to go back to work. Many were threatened with violence if they did.
Marco's "Zapatistas" imported some foreign help including the American anarchist who was killed over the weekend.
Cypriot Airline to Stop Flying in 2007
Monday October 30, 2:44 pm ET
Cypriot Airline That Replaced Helios After 2005 Crash to Terminate Flight Operations in 2007
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) -- Ajet, the carrier that replaced Helios Airways after a crash that killed all 121 passengers and crew in Greece last year, said Monday it will terminate its flight operations in early 2007.
Ajet holding company Libra Holidays announced that it would bring the carrier's flight schedule to a halt within the next three months.
"The decision is the outcome of the financial results of the specific company," Libra said in a statement.
Ajet will remain registered as a company pending financial claims against third parties, Libra said.
Greek accident investigators have cited human error as the main cause of the Helios air disaster.
In a report issued Oct. 10, they said the two pilots of the Cypriot 737-300 failed to competently operate controls regulating cabin pressure and misinterpreted a subsequent warning sign.
Maintenance officials were also blamed for leaving pressure controls on an incorrect setting, while Boeing was cited for "ineffectiveness of measures" in response to previous pressurization incidents on their aircraft.

This press release has to be filed in the "what were they smoking" section. Somehow with all this negative press that they themselves released (or re-released, as the case may be) is really not going to be a big inducement for the potential flying public to beat a path to their ticket counter. Usually these kind of things get recognized when Joe Q. Ticketholder shows up for his 0800 departure and the counters are all dark with a 'Gone Fishing' sign hanging from the ceiling, twisting in the wind. There must be something else behind this. Any theories?

Only one paragraph's needed to describethe article:
People's opinions were strongly linked to their political preferences. Left and Green party voters were more likely to choose the US, with 68 percent of Left and 57 percent of Green Party voters believing that America was most dangerous. Only 20 percent of Moderate or Christian Democrat voters shared that view.
#2
Islamic domination is the religion of peace (don't call me racist!).
The USA is a threat to Islamic domination (they staged 9/11 and randomly attacked Afghanistan then Iraq!).
Hence the USA is a threat to peace (they've always been!).
Easy.
Americans are imperialist exploiters, and (Soviet) Russians are our friends. That I learnt while watching the State TV news in Sweden in the late 80s. Also, obviously Germany will become a thoroughly socialist state after the reunification, once they all understand how good things were in East Germany. (I'm not making this up.)
#3
From personal experience, I've learned that stupidity should be painful - seems to be required to make the lesson sink in. When I see some of the socialist tripe that comes out of Sweden, I can't help but think of Hensen's Swedish Chef character... and how brilliant he is relative to the political reality. They need to ruin their economy with Kyoto or something, something that will bring great pain. Sheeshomazing.

The eurolemming is an endangered species. Chiefly because it lacks one instinctive drive that will insure it's future---- that of self-preservation. It's only a matter of time. Get used to Swedenistan.

I'm trying to wrap my mind around Muzzies in parkas... I mean after seeing the short-thobed, sandal-clad, henna-stained woolleybuggers hanging in the heat of the Giant Litterbox, well... Got some major CogDis in play, lol.

Oh, no, the US is a threat to peace the way so many Swedes define it, too, meaning the disturber of the status quo, the reason they can't spend all their time quietly going from morning coffee to midday picking berries for the coffee cake eaten with the afternoon coffee sitting in the sun before preparing a light supper. And for those who have a job, working very hard so that the government can take most of the income to support the rest.
Thanks for the background, Kalle. .com, disturbingly memorable image, but I had the impression the Muslims of Scandanavia mostly come from Pakistan?
Bulgaria's leftist President Georgi Parvanov has won a second five-year term with a landslide victory over a nationalist who opposes the country's entry into the European Union next year. Parvanov won 74.4 per cent of the vote in a second-round ballot, official results showed, with 73.2 per cent counted. Far behind with 25.6 per cent was Volen Siderov, leader of the nationalist Attack party, who campaigned on an undemocratic, anti-minority platform not compatible with the EU.

Serbia has adopted its first constitution of the post-Milosevic era after a last-minute surge to the polls saved a two-day referendum from failure due to insufficient turnout. According to preliminary results from the respected national polling organisation CESID, 51.6 per cent of the electorate of 6.6 million voted in favour of the constitution. Overall turnout was 53.5 per cent.
The document of 206 articles includes a preamble reaffirming Serbian sovereignty over the breakaway province of Kosovo, whose 90 per cent ethnic Albanian majority ignored the vote, saying it made no difference to their demand for independence. The previous constitution under the late strongman Slobodan Milosevic in 1990 stripped Kosovo its autonomy and ushered in a decade of oppression culminating in a war with NATO that ended with Kosovo being removed to United Nations control.

Steven T. Vermilye was a home inspector and general contractor who grew up in Croton-on-Hudson - he and his father helped build the boat launch at Senasqua Park - went to college in Texas and settled in New Paltz in 1971.
Betty L. Johnson came from a small town in Virginia and moved to Beacon when she was 17, where she raised eight children while boxing duct tape at Tuck Tape and working in the kitchen at the Castle Point Veterans Hospital.
David S. Stairs was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and came to the mid-Hudson Valley in 1927, where as a 16-year-old he pounded hot rivets into the New York Central Railroad at Croton-Harmon and then spent 45 years working his way up through Texaco's research center in Glenham.
The three mid-Hudson Valley residents had little in common during their lives, but share one thing now: Records exist of them casting a vote after they died.
A new statewide database of registered voters contains as many as 77,000 dead people on its rolls, and as many as 2,600 of them have cast votes from the grave, according to a Poughkeepsie Journal computer-assisted analysis.
The Journal's analysis of New York's 3-month-old database is the first to determine the potential for errors and fraud in voting. It matched names, dates of birth and ZIP codes in the state's database of 11.7 million voter registration records against the same information in the Social Security Administration's "Death Master File." That database has 77 million records of deaths dating back to 1937.
The state database was current as of Oct. 4, the master death index through June.
The same process has been used to identify deceased registrants in other states, but is not yet being used in New York.
The numbers do not indicate how much fraud is the result of dead voters in New York, only the potential for it. Typically, records of votes by the dead are the result of bookkeeping errors and do not mean any extra ballots were actually cast.
The Journal did not find any fraud in the local matches it investigated.
"Of course we are concerned about people voting if they are dead," George Stanton, chief information officer for the state Board of Elections, said in an e-mailed response.
He said an updated version of the voter list was being developed.
"Any tool that will help us maintain a more accurate voter list will be considered for use," he said.
Among the Journal's findings:
- There were dead people on the voter rolls in all of New York's 62 counties and people in as many as 45 counties who had votes recorded after they had died.
- One Bronx address was listed as the home for as many as 191 registered voters who had died. The address is 5901 Palisade Ave., in Riverdale, site of the Hebrew Home for the Aged.
- Democrats who cast votes after they died outnumbered Republicans by more than 4 to 1. The reason: Most of them came from Democrat-dominated New York City, where the higher population produced more matches.
Tales of votes being cast from the grave are part of election lore. Last year, at least two dead voters were counted in a Tennessee state Senate race that was decided by fewer than 20 votes. As a result of that and other irregularities, seven poll workers were fired, an entire precinct was dissolved and the election results were voided by the state Senate, forcing the removal of the presumed winner. Three elections workers were indicted for faking the votes.
In 1997, a judge declared a Miami mayoral election invalid because of widespread fraud, including dead voters.
And in one of the more notorious examples, inspectors estimated that as many as 1 in 10 ballots cast in Chicago during the 1982 Illinois gubernatorial election were fraudulent for various reasons, including votes by the dead.
In one reported case, a dead man's signature was clearly spelled out on voting records even though while alive he could only mark an "X" because he had no fingers.
In most cases, instances of dead voters can be attributed to database mismatches and clerical errors. For instance, the Social Security Administration admits there are people in its master death index who are not dead.
They include Wappingers Falls resident Hilde Stafford, an 85-year-old native of Germany. The master index lists her date of death as June 15, 1997.
"I'm still alive," she said. "I still vote."
State and federal laws require dead voters to be purged from the rolls, but it requires a tricky balance of commitment and restraint. Failing to do so enhances the opportunity for fraud, the case of one person pretending to be another.
"The only reason it's a potential problem is that elections are very contentious," said David Gamache, Dutchess County's Republican elections commissioner. "And there is a reason why the election law takes up almost 500 pages. If there is a way to cheat people, people are going to look at it and see if it is viable and whether or not they should do it."
Removing dead voters also can save boards of elections the cost of sending unnecessary mail-checks and absentee ballots. But overzealous matching can result in legitimate voters being removed.
"It's almost damned if you do, damned if you don't," said Doug Chapin, director of the nonpartisan Election Reform Information Project in Washington. The nonprofit clearing house was formed in 2001 with a grant from the Pew Charitable Trusts to track election reform developments around the country.
Other states have used the death index to supplement data collected by their health departments. Earlier this year, officials in Washington state used health department records and the death index to remove 19,579 deceased people in the first four months after its statewide database was created. The effort there was underscored by the results of the 2004 gubernatorial election, in which Democratic Gov. Christine Gregoire won by 129 votes after two recounts of the more than 2.8 million cast.
States are creating statewide databases to comply with the Help America Vote Act, the federal legislation that was sparked by the controversy surrounding the 2000 presidential election. The deadline for compliance was Jan. 1.
In March, the U.S. Department of Justice sued New York over its failure to meet that deadline. In response to a court-approved settlement, the state completed a preliminary version of its database in time for the 2006 election cycle. The database merged each of the 62 county files into one. It is updated daily with changes sent in batches by the counties. The final version will let county officials log in and make changes directly to the database.
New York has not decided whether it will use the Social Security Administration's database to search for dead voters, said Stanton, the manager of data processing services for the state board. Stanton said one concern is that the state, by law, can ask for only the last four digits of an applicant's Social Security number.
"Nobody wants to remove someone from the voter rolls who may not be dead," Stanton said. "I got one of those calls once."
For now, the responsibility of removing dead voters falls on county boards of elections. Each month, counties receive a list of recent deaths from the state Health Department and cross-check that information against their rolls. In August, 21 people were removed by Dutchess County's board this way.
That system does not always account for all deaths.
"You are going to miss people that went across the border, who may have gone hunting or fishing someplace" and then died, said Steve Excell, Washington's assistant secretary of state.
Boards of elections use mail checks as one way to verify the status of registered voters. If a card is returned by the postal service, the voter is flagged as inactive. That method does not work if the card is not returned - if family members are living at the same address and still collecting their deceased parents' mail, for instance.
In Ulster County, Vermilye, the former Croton resident, voted for the last time in his life in 2000. Vermilye was suffering from a malignant brain tumor and needed a wheelchair to get around. He asked his daughter, Lydia Weiss, to take him to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton in the U.S. Senate primary.
"Something like that with a wheelchair and a 200-plus pound man who was immobilized was no easy endeavor," Weiss said. "He lived five miles away, and the whole thing took maybe an hour and a half. The whole reason we went and made such an effort is he thought it was going to be his last. He knew that Hillary had the primary in the bag, but wanted her to have one more vote on her side."
Vermilye lived long enough to cast one more vote, by absentee ballot, in the November general election. He died June 19, 2001, at age 54.
So it came as some surprise to his daughter that the Ulster County Board of Elections had a record of him voting in the 2004 general election. Again, there was no fraud. Ulster officials found that an absentee ballot cast by Vermilye's son, Jamie, had mistakenly been added to his father's record.
"I was willing to assume it was a clerical error," Weiss said. "I am so proud to be from New York, and not a state like Florida or Ohio. But it is discouraging to see even a state (like New York) - that hasn't been revealed to have problems that have made it onto the national radar - is rife with problems of its own."
Australian troops have been banned from a refugee camp in the East Timorese capital Dili after being blamed for killing two men during last week's gang violence. The sign on the fence at the camp says 'Australian military - keep out'.
The ban came after ADF boss Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston denied that Australian soldiers were responsible for the deaths. Newspapers in Dili are reporting the claims as fact.
In a further sign of eroding relations with Australia, rocks were thrown at the Australian Embassy a few nights ago. At least five people have died in recent gang violence, which closed Dili's international airport last week.

Rush Limbaugh radio talk show daily audience;
22,000,000 estimated. Where would you advertise ?
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.
