Latest Tragedy Created by the blood thirsty Ethiopian death squad crusaders in Mogadishu, their Puppet Warlords and their AMISOM mercenaries is that Somalis are dying of man made starvation and genocide payrolled by Britain, US and EU. This ethnically motivated genocide may continue from time to come.
My questions is to Somalis everywhere (Western Somalia, Northern Kenya, Ogaden, Somalia and around the globe).
Do you want die fat with expired food delivered by WFP while Ethiopian death squad knifes are slitting the throat of your family and friends!
or do you want make a stand and die a Somali death and Muslim!
Or do you want go quiet into the night and accept occupation and modern slavery?
All those dying in this man made brutal starvation are Muslims and Most are Somalis (Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda)!!!!!
I think, This is an ethnic cleansing scheme aimed at Somalis
If people want to buy arams they should be sold arms. The whole `dont sell them arms' argument is deeply, inherently and implicitly racist.
Mr. Reigal: The French and the British will sell anyone any arms no questions asked, as long as they pay in cash. It's all part of the illusion of still being superpowers, a post they long ago lost after WWI. The US despite its many problems, is still the #1 world power.
Usually Silent
China is harvesting minerals in the horn and paying for them with arms? First time I heard either. To my knowledge China does not sell a single Ak47 to Somalis and has never harvested a gram of any mineral from its parched soil. In fact I will say there isnt a single mine of any kind in Somalia full stop. well except the type that pulverises limbs. And they most of those are Pakistani-made.
Ethiopia buys almost all of its arms from Russia not China. Again Ethiopia is hardly reknowned for its mineral wealth. the Chinese did prospect for oil in Eastern Ethiopia recently but so far all they got is Russian made Kalashnikovs stuck into their faces by marauding rebels. And not one gallon of oil.
The other Horn `country' is Djibouti and it too has no minerals. Only dust and goats. Oh and it buys its arms from France!
So that story is, that.
Now the general point about arming Africans. Armns do not kill people, people do. And if people decide to kill each they will do so. And no one needs sophisticated arms to kill people. Rwanda has proven that.
May I also suggest the argument not to arm Africans is inherently racist as it suggests that Africans are such ghastly brutes who will moll each other down the moment we give them our Maxims. No? OK. When was the last time you saw people demostrating against arming the Belgians?
Ying Over Yang
You exaggerate both the `achievement' of the Islamist murderers and the Ethiopian response. Lets get some facts here:
1. Islamists never ruled more than 15% of Somalia at any given time. In fact their writ in parts of Mogadshu itself was tentative. You and the foreign NGOs and the UN bureacrats in their flying visits from their plush hotels in Nairobi and the liberal Western media types in their knee-jerk anti-americanism all fell for this ridicolous line about Islamists running Somalia peacefully before the nasty Americans and their Ethiopian allies so crulley ousted them
2. Somalia islamists are amongst the most crule and most barbaric of all Isalmist fanatics anywhere including the Talebans. The act of stoning the tenage girl was not `one incident' but a typical one. in the six months they ran parts of Mogadishu they beheaded, mutilated, whipped and stabbed people all in the name of their brand of Sharia. In at least one infamous case they used something called kisas where a man was tied to pole in the middle of Mogadishu, a 16 year old boy handed a knife and ordred to stab the man to death. He did so in front of ululating crowd.
3. The Islamists declared Jihad on Ethiopia on almost daily basis and openly threatened to blow up Addis in the name of Allah. They invited dozens of the most vicious little terrorist groups in Ethiopia to Mogadishu and armed them and trained them and sent them back across the border. The threat to Ethiopia was real and iminnent and obvious but clearly not from the lofty worthy heights of some in the West.
4. Ethiopia does not carpet bomb or target civilians. Anyone who knows anything about the reality on the ground will confirm the opposite is true. Even the wackiest Islamist estimates of people killed in Somalia since the Ethiopian invasion runs into few thousand souls most of them dying through hunger and disease rather than through military action. The madness of organisations like the UN and the NGOs were exposed when they initially screamed that a million people have been displaced by the fighting in Mogadshu alone. Untill it was pointed Mogadishu never had a million people living in it ever!
3. No country, no people, no nation in the world deserves to be ruled by murderous, misogynistic, medieval brutes like the Somalia Islamists and standing by and doing nothing to remove them is tantamount to appeasing evil. We dont want to be ruled by them so why do you think it was OK for them to rule the Somali people?
4. Your claims that the money and efforts could've been better spent on development is true. But it is true of all wars. The money and effort we spent fighting Hitler could've better spent at home too. Do you believe the war against Hitler was justified?
Since China is now a rich country with technology to match the West's, nobody will challenge them. Besides, they hold a Trillion Dollars of US and UK assets. China could really inflict some severe pain in the West's economy. Human rights and freedom are all fine and dandy, but when money is involved, all Western idelas and beliefs go out the window.
In responce to cornejod's comment: "where do they get their weapons?"
I spend six weeks in Ethiopia and asked this question many times and the answer was consistent--China supplies them and they accept payment in the form of mineral rights to the land. The soil of the Horn may not be conducive to bearing food right now but their mineral content is a different story, one that China knows all too well. Because the countries doesn't possess the knowledge to harvest the minerals themselves they think they're making a great trade, of course China feels the same way.
Do I notice circling around the forbidden words: some African countries cannot be independent, colonialism was better, white man has White Man's Burden, abandon the idea that poorly educated people can run their country?Europeans are expected to bring food, medicine and hospitals as direct aid, teach locals how to cultivate land and build roads as developmental aid, and run their institutions as advisors. So where is the difference from the colonialism which is so politically incorrect? Local governments supposedly approve and control foreign aid, but do ordinary Africans necessarily approved or control their governments?Just to be slightly provocative here.
If the US was not spending so much on it's various wars, it might be able to help a little more.
Lets just hope Obama slashes military spanding to the very bone.
'Help' to Africa, in the form of aid and even military assistance, is part of the reason why Africa is in such a poor condition today. Africans have developed a mentality that has come to expect Western, UN, and Japanese (and maybe more countries/organizations in the future) money and military peacekeepers to come and rescue them from their predicaments time and again. For their sakes, foreign aid and military assistance to Africa should stop. In return, rich world trade subsidies in agriculture should also end, and maybe preferential trade agreements, especially ones which will encourage development, with Africa should be considered - sort of a more effective form of aid. This would be truly altruistic on the part of the developed world: the end of trade subsidies and agreements fostering African industrialization and a greater services/information age economy would probably hurt workers in rich countries. If you use a crutch too long, or if you seek out prescription medicine excessively, because you do not want to endure a little pain, in the end you only develop a dependency on the crutch or the drugs and cannot stand on your own or be free from addiction. The same with Africans and financial and military aid. Africa will remain the least developed continent so long as Africans can always go running to wealthier nations to bail them out of their problems. That needs to end now. There will be pain - thousands of Congolese may die in this recent conflict in the DRC - but unless Africans learn how to fend for themselves, ultimately over decades far more than thousands of people will die and suffer from war, disease, hunger, want in an Africa which never finds its way.
Would it make it any easier to deliver food if there weren't the threat of piracy?
These countries do not posess the factories, toosl or skilled people to make weapons. So the questions arises: Who the hell supplies these animals with the weapons they use to kill their own people? China? Russia? The UK? How are these paid for? There's no oil there. When will the West put a stop to it? When will the UK send their mighty navy and brave army to end this holocaust? Probably years after millions die, like in Rwanda, and then concerts, books, speeches, procalamations, dedications and monuments will abound, but there will be nothing done as these countries possess no oil, or at least significant amounts. The UN will forever keep debating the issue while in the meantime, the butchery continues.
It is interesting to note that such famine related tragedies continue to happen in this particular geographical area. While it may sound heartless, I guess there is a strong relationship between the land and the sustainable quantum of life it can support. Whenever this relationship comes under strain, nature (including human nature and wars) seems to spring into action.We can all keep discussing about the current problem and who is to blame for it - the Somalis, the US, the Ethiopians... and so on. But the long term issue will only be resolved when a natural balance (that the particular land sustains) is achieved. In that sense, simply providing food as aid will be helpful but in essence will just postpone the inevitable 'restructuring'.
as i review the commentary of other readers i sense a tying war and contention between people as the root cause of this horrendous suffering of millions of people that will not cease until they are supplied with the means to stabilize their very basic health and physical welfare.catastrophic suffering of millions of people will continue until they are fed and healed of even their personal physical deteriorated health. a plea of these millions of suffering, starving, disease stricken, repressed and illiterate peoples cry out to what ever god will receive their murmured prayers for just the sustenance to live but one more day despite the contention that is associates itself to the dying of the human soul.
Reigal:All these countries you mentioned, when did they ever state their intentions to wipe Ethiopia off the map ?
"Given these circumstances I think Ethiopia reacted with remarkable restraint and dignity."Now I sort of see the problem in Africa. 'Restraint and dignity'? Excuse me, but using white phosphorous, torture, unrestrained bombings in a place that has most the people starving is not exactly dignity. Considering that Ethiopia has masses in starvation, spending millions bombing others is not really restraint. I know your going to say, 'Well Britain bombed, US bombed Iraq, ' blah blah blah. But hat does not mean it was JUSTIFIED. And why should Africa go so low?And the Islamists were indeed an effective government. It is more or less a fact that Somalia was better the Islamists. (See what UN officials, NGOs. experts have to say about it and then talk.) If you pick out one bad incident and condemn the entire movement, you have problems. Also, if it were not for the barbaric US, Ethiopia would not have invaded. The US condemns our work in Sudan and then bombs Somalia and does no good work. It supports warlords worse than the Islamists. The same idiotic nationalism that messed up Europe is messing up Africa. Instead of working for a common good, Africans are dividing by tribe, nation, etc. And then then justify acts of barbarity (Ethiopia invasion) by comparing it with Europe/US. If all that money Ethiopia and other rebels spent were used for development, Africa would be much better off.
Good to see a Somali Muslim condemning islamist acts of barbarity. I still believe you are exaggerating Ethiopia's role in the collapse of the Somali state and the level of its alleged crimes against Somalians in Somalia proper and in Ogaden. Somalis invariably attack Ethiopia first and they always pay high price for it. Sad but that is war for you.
Dont believe in these modern Western cries about Human rights -all nations kill civilians if they feel threatened. Did you ever see a Briton condemning the deliberate attacks on German civilians during WW2? No. And Britain was not even under any existential threat when it deliberately burned tens of thousands of German civilians.
Ethiopia has at least five groups and three countries surrounding it(Somalia, Eritrea and Sudan) all determined to wipe it off the map.
Given these circumstances I think Ethiopia reacted with remarkable restraint and dignity.
Reigal As victims of the violations of their human rights, most Somalis abhor when these crimes are also committed by the Islamists. And what happened in Kismayo, stoning of an innocent girl to death, will be their final undoing. But they are not as yet a government accountable for their actions to the people or the international community. Meles Zenewi on the other hand is the PM of a country receiving billion dollar of aid each year initially on the false pretences that he is a democrat and respecter of human rights unlike his predecessor, Mengestu Haile Mariam. As it is, Meles may be more sophisticated and charming, but he is all the same a butcher. The jails in Ethiopia proper are full of political dissidents. In the Ogaden region, he is razing the place to the ground ala Russia's Chechnya. And in Somalia, he is doing what Hitler did to occupied European countries during the Second World War. Of course, we, as Somalis, are not blameless. Some of us- warlords and key members of the current puppet government- had served Ethiopia to bring down our government in 1991.And they continue to do her bidding to the present day to ensure Somalia remains moribund and stateless. Such shameful actions however, do not absolve Meles Zenewi of his heinous crimes in Somalia and the Ogaden and for that matter the rest of Ethiopia.
There you go again, blame it all on others. I think Ethiopia was wrong to respond to the Islamist provocations and declarations of Jihad but it is simply wrong the collapse of Somalia on Ethiopia and America. Somalis did that single handedly.
And I am sorry but it is quite disconcerting when cruel even barbaric Islamists fulminate about human rights and run to Amnesty international when they feel victimised in anyway.
Am I wrong in thinking human rights is not an Islamist forte? Did they not stone a teenage girl to death only few days ago in Mogadishu after she reported she was a victim of gang rape? What human rights?
Reigal its very unfortunate that you are blaming the victims of the conflict. The ones declaring a Jihad against Ethopia were only the most extreme members of the Islamic Counts Union (ICU). Ethiopia had a reason to be scared, but scorch earth tactics is no way to respond to that threat. The ICU could not possibly pose a significant threat to Ethiopia. The US prodded Ethiopia to invade and if it were not for the US, Ethiopia would probably not have invaded. The US wanted to kill a few Al Qaeda and did not mind sacrificing millions of lives to do that. This just shows US disregard for life. When Russia invaded Georgia everyone cared, but no one cared about the US/Ethiopia invasion of Somalia that killed thousands more. Saudi Arabia and the AU have tried repeatedly to reach a peace settlement, but THE US HAS STOPPED ALL NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT AND THE ICU, BECAUSE IT IS AFRAID OF 'TERRORISTS.' Thus the US continues to kill thousands. This is a good report about it you might want to read:http://www.enoughproject.org/reports/somalia

Ohad Hecht | November 5, 2013 | Comments |
Consider these tips to optimize your email campaigns for search engine results.
I was speaking at this year's SES Hong Kong about the importance of connecting all the digital touch points with the customer, so that customers will have consistent digital experience with brands. The key is moving away from digital islands into a digital ecosystem, where all channels are connected into a single database.
This is a topic in itself, hence in this column, I'd like to provide some tips on how to link two of the digital channels: Email and SEO (search engine optimization).
Our story starts in the early morning – we rush to work, grab our coffee on the way (hopefully a good strong one!), and then making sense of the campaign we want to send. We're selecting segments, receiving content from different stakeholders, loving our creative and finally pressing the launch button.
Typically, we'd be looking into conversions, sales records, etc. Okay, yep. These are all legit KPIs (key performance indicators) of measuring success of a campaign. But we can get more than just these KPIs. We can improve the ranking of our pages by building links and driving traffic to designated pages and in this way, improve our SEO efforts. Driving traffic to your pages will also assist in the variety of IP's directing traffic to your email, something the search engine just loves.
Here are some practical tips for the travel industry, for instance. You can apply these rules to other industries, just stick to the rationale:
(Source: An example from Zuji Hong Kong email sent on October 23, titled: "Japan hotel specials. Up to 50% off")
In this example, you can see that there are links promotions at the bottom of the email. Clicking on Shanghai under Latest Flight Deals will bring you to a page that promotes flights to Shanghai. The same goes for the hotels category.
Once again, the rationale applies to fashion, cosmetics, electronics, books, or any other products and services you're looking to promote.
P.S: Don't forget the social share buttons on different content blocks.
The sales peak season is nearly here. Hope you're ready with your digital weapons to target and convert recipients into buying customers.
Happy Hunting.
Till next time, stay tuned.

Increased building costs... Thoughts?
Folks, I'd like some help. Our builder has sent the first draft of the contract and has stated that costs have gone up (market conditions) based on the estimates they used to build the same house next door around 6 months ago but closed last week. It is a 4000 st ft home.
Here is the rundown.
A) Lumber Increases $6,000
B) Install sidewalk (20ft and retaining wall per City's revised position $4,000 (albeit this is would cover both homes)
C) Prepare house for ejector pump due to rock $4,000
D) Drywall Increases $2,500
E) Electrical/Plumbing Increases (copper)$3,000
Total$19,500 based on the home next door which sold for $700k.
It seemed highly excessive to us, but wanted to get the experts to weigh in on each.
I was shocked to see a huge jump in plywood and OSB prices recently. I'm in the middle of building a house, so I see the pricing often, yet this took me by surprise. OSB, a standard commodity in home building, went from $7.50 a sheet to $12.00 a sheet. I also think that in some areas, home building is getting pretty active again, so prices that have been held down for some years now are starting to move up again.
The increase you noted is less than 3%- Have you priced food lately?
Flgargoyle. Thanks for the perspective - It is opinions that I am seeking so that helps. I understand prices increase I guess I was surprised at the $ amount in addition to if adding an ejector pump and associated labor is really $4k etc.
Other experts, any other thoughts welcomed.
Thanks Ursula
Housing market is increasing slightly raising prices (supply and demand), Hurricanes in the gulf increase oil prices (think gasoline increases) all building products are affected by oil prices either thru manufacturing or distribution. I am surprised he did not tell you that roofing was going to increase as well.
Our lumber package cost increased by about 8% between the begining of June when we obtained the first quote to the end of August when we actually placed the order. Hurricane Issac didn't help matters but the housing market is on an upswing and trades/materials are in greater demand. We anticipated framing labor to be $3.50 sq/ft but it's more lke $4.25 sq/f - a 20% increase.
Actually, our framing lumber increased by around 11% - we were anticipating $36k and it came in around $40k instead. That's just lumber and hardware for framing & doesn't include windows, doors, roofing, trim, etc. We have may open spans that require LVL beams ($$) and have a complicated roof line and many, many corners.
Our total sq/ft under roof, including porches & garages, is just over 5,000 sq. ft. which is what our framing bid is based on. Comparing my budget to others on this forum, it's much cheaper to build here in Tennessee, though. We're on track to to have this house finished for under $80/sq.ft using brick, stone, hardi, granite, all hardwood floors, etc.
All of the reasons given above were also the cause of price increases when we built in '06-'07. Additionally, lumber prices can be seasonal, and there was/is (?) the issue of the number of operating plywood factories. When we were building, they were maxed out, and they wouldn't start new ones due to having been burned previously when the economy had tanked and they were stuck with overproduction. I would guess that during the Recession, plywood factories might have downsized due to almost no construction, which might be affecting the supply now.

Thousands of pieces of junk orbit the Earth. And a new report is calling on NASA to clean it all up. Don Kesller, a former NASA scientist, said in a report for the National Research Council, that the space debris has reached a "tipping point."
The problem: pieces of debris, mostly from old satellites, broken rocket ships and other paraphernalia left over from our collective space travels, collide with one another, creating more debris in a "collision cascade." They also can re-enter the atmosphere, raining debris down onto earth and can collide with functioning space ships. The International Space Station had a near miss with a piece in June.
There are more than 22,000 pieces big enough for NASA to track, and possibly millions of smaller pieces. The report calls on NASA to figure out a plan to clean up the debris.
The news isn't all bad, though, says writer Konstantin Kakaes in Slate: "Doing so will be expensive and require a huge leap in space technology. But this investment of money and brainpower will not just solve our space-junk conundrum. It may help us in the next phase of space exploration," he writes.

Daniel Carter
Israel Dagg will make his return to Super Rugby when the Crusaders take on the Highlanders this Saturday.
He is 1 of 5 changes to the starting line-up this week.
Crusaders head coach Todd Blackadder has named Wyatt Crockett to start in the No 1 jersey this week, with Joe Moody and Nepo Laulala providing prop cover from the bench.
Scott Barrett will start at lock for the first time in Super Rugby, pairing up with Luke Romano and with Dominic Bird on the bench.
Colin Slade shifts from fullback to flyhalf, with Daniel Carter recovering from a knock to the leg in last week's match, and Dagg steps in at No 15.
Crusaders pivot Dan Carter is set to miss the Christchurch-based team's clash against the Highlanders in Dunedin on Saturday.
Carter hurt his leg in his side's 20 / 10 loss to the Melbourne Rebels last weekend and although Crusaders assistant coach Aaron Mauger believes the injury isn't serious, he said it's unlikely that the All Blacks flyhalf would be considered to play this weekend.
That means that Colin Slade is expected to start in the No 10 jeresey.
Details on Dan Carter's leg injury are still fuzzy heading towards the Crusaders match against the Highlanders on Saturday.
The official line signalled some improvement when he was assessed by the medical staff and then involved in the squad's light workout on Monday at their Christchurch headquarters.
During the Crusaders' opening Super Rugby loss to the Rebels, Carter took a knock to his lower right leg which he then aggravated when he made a hasty clearing kick from his in-goal area.
The limping flyhalf stayed on for a further 15 minutes hoping the discomfort from his "dead leg" would ease. He had to be subbed and when he fronted for interviews later, Carter was optimistic there was no significant issue.
All Blacks flyhalf Daniel Carter's final Super Rugby season began with a rocky start as the 32-year-old suffered another leg injury in the Crusaders' surprise 20 / 10 loss to the Melbourne Rebels on Friday.
Carter, who has also already said he will leave New Zealand rugby after the conclusion of this year's World Cup to take up a three-year contract with France's Racing Metro, allayed any early jitters about the All Blacks' world title defence.
"I got a whack in the side of the leg, similar to a spot that I got it last year. It was just a knee and gave me a bit of a dead leg," Carter told reporters. "I'm sure it's nothing serious."
The Crusaders will open the 2015 Super Rugby season this Friday night when they host the Melbourne Rebels in Christchurch.
Richie McCaw will start for the Crusaders for the first time in 2015, in one of 3 changes that head coach Todd Blackadder has made to the starting line-up that played a warm-up game against the Reds in Brisbane last week.
The other changes are Joe Moody starting at No 1 and Ben Funnell at hooker.
Dan Carter will start the Crusaders' last warm-up match ahead of potentially his final Super Rugby season against the Reds on Friday at flyhalf with team-mate Colin Slade switching to fullback.
The 32-year-old Carter, who will join French side Racing Metro at the conclusion of this year's World Cup, had played mostly at inside centre last year when he returned to the Crusaders from a sabbatical to accommodate Slade's good form.
The fact he will play in his preferred flyhalf position suggests he will get the nod from coach Todd Blackadder to start there for the Crusaders' opening game against the Melbourne Rebels on 13 February in Christchurch.
Dan Carter has dismissed concerns about a calf strain and told the Crusaders coaches he wants to play the Super Rugby pre-season match against the Hurricanes in Eketahuna on Saturday.
Following the frustrations of last year, when he suffered a small fracture in his lower leg in the Super Rugby Final against the Waratahs and failed to reclaim his All Blacks flyhalf spot on the November tour of Chicago and Britain, Carter is eager to quickly get things going in World Cup year.
French club Racing Metro are reportedly winning the race to sign All Blacks star Dan Carter in a deal that is tipped to make him the highest paid player in the game with a £1 million contract.
European media is awash with speculation around Carter as the veteran No 10's future beyond next year's World Cup continues to grab headlines.
All the various sources were tipping glamour Paris outfit Racing Metro to lure Carter back to the French competition after his painful previous experience of an injury-plagued sabbatical in 2009 with Perpignan.
The Times suggested Carter 'is close to becoming rugby's first £1 million man' with Racing Metro owner Jacky Lorenzetti prepared to 'break the bank' for a move that would finally end Carter's All Blacks career.
Dan Carter is still aiming to be a factor in the 2015 World Cup after an injury plagued couple of months that have seen him stuttering with form.
Cater now faces a nine-month race to regain the fine form he is capable of for the World Cup after an uncharacteristically below-par year-end tour.
The All Black flyhalf has decided sitting back on his laurels is no longer an option and that regular and consistent game-time will bring him back to his best.
"Throughout the tour my injury had healed. The body felt good but the game-time was lacking," Carter admitted.
"That tour wasn't the best situation to get regular game-time but it got me back in the environment, back into the team and a better understanding of the game we're trying to play.
New Zealand take on Wales at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on Saturday with no Dan Carter on the teamsheet, young gun Beauden Barrett entrusted to drive the All Blacks around the park.
Barrett has spent most of the last two weeks simulating English and Scottish attackers as he missed out on selection for the 24-16 victory over the latter behind Carter and Colin Slade, while he came on for Aaron Cruden for the last quarter in the 24-21 win at Twickenham.
But coach Steve Hansen has had no qualms about throwing the 23-year-old Hurricanes playmaker a chance for a rare start in a match-up in which Wales' last victory came way back in 1953.
"We've got total belief in him though, otherwise we wouldn't have put him in there," Hansen said, adding that a fly-half's role was simple.
All Blacks flyhalf Dan Carter was unimpressed by his scratchy return in the number 10 shirt against Scotland but grateful just to get through the 24-16 win unscathed.
Starting at flyhalf for the first time in a year after a season blighted by a broken leg, Carter was well below his best at Murrayfield, struggling with handling errors particularly in the opening exchanges before being replaced shortly after halftime.
"That first 20 (minutes) was pretty scratchy and there were a lot of mistakes from me personally which, if I get another chance, I'll have to improve," Carter told reporters.
"My option-taking probably wasn't the best at times. But I was pretty pleased to be back out there playing again and I felt as the game went on I grew in confidence."
New Zealand flyhalf Daniel Carter is expected to return to the match day squad for their clash with Scotland on Saturday as he continues to work his way back from a broken leg.
Carter was the highest profile water boy in world rugby last Saturday when the All Blacks beat England 24-21 at Twickenham. The 32-year-old missed out on a place in the playing squad, ostensibly because coach Steve Hansen felt he had not played enough rugby.
Carter has barely played this year after taking a six-month sabbatical and breaking his leg in the Super Rugby final in August.
He came off the bench for 30 minutes against the United States on November 1 and assistant All Blacks coach Ian Foster said he would now get more playing time in their final two matches against Scotland on Saturday and Wales on November 22.
New Zealand welcomed back superstars Dan Carter and Sonny Bill Williams for next month's Northern Hemisphere tour, but dropped pivot Colin Slade, despite his heroics against Australia at the weekend.
Flyhalf Carter, the world's most prolific international points scorer, has not played since breaking his leg in the Super Rugby Final in August, while Williams returns to the All Blacks after two seasons playing Rugby League in Australia.
There is also a return for Aaron Cruden, who has finally been forgiven for his late-night indiscretion in the latter stages of the Rugby Championship.
Coach Steve Hansen also recalled flank Victor Vito at the expense of Steven Luatua, and included promising scrumhalf Augustine Pulu as the only uncapped player in the squad for the four-Test tour.
Sir Graham Henry would pick Dan Carter for the next World Cup though admits the veteran first-five now needs to earn his starting position ahead of two young "world class" alternatives in Aaron Cruden and Beauden Barrett.
Today is a year-to-the-day before the Rugby World Cup tournament began at Twickenham with a match between England and Fiji.
The defending champion All Blacks will launch their campaign two days later with a match against Argentina at Wembley Stadium.
Colin Slade has been called into the All Blacks as injury cover for Dan Carter.
Carter fractured the fibula bone in his right leg during last weekend's Super Rugby final loss to the Waratahs in Sydney and would be sidelined for one month. He would miss at least the first two Bledisloe Cup tests.
All Black flyhalf Dan Carter will be sidelined for at least half of New Zealand's Rugby Championship campaign after cracking a fibula in last weekend's Super Rugby Final.
Carter left the field during the Crusaders' 32-33 loss to the Waratahs in Sydney after an injury to his lower leg, which the franchise said was a hairline crack to the bone which would need at least four weeks to heal.
"A scan has revealed a small crack in his upper fibula. The size of the crack meant it was not originally picked up by an X-ray and required a scan to locate it," the Crusaders said.
Star flyhalf Dan Carter has been returned to the All Blacks squad for this season's Rugby Championships against Australia, South Africa and Argentina at the expense of his Crusaders' teammate Colin Slade.
Carter, the world's leading points-scorer in tests with 1,440, missed New Zealand's June test matches against England while on a seven-months "sabbatical" from rugby during which he toured the world, attending events such as this year's Academy Awards ceremony.
The 32-year-old returned to the Crusaders squad for its most-recent matches in Super Rugby, including Saturday's semifinal against the Sharks, but has been playing at inside center to allow Slade to continue at flyhalf.
Dan Carter, refreshed after his break away from the game and energised by his performance against the Sharks and the opportunities of the week ahead, is promising more.
The All Blacks No10, excelling in his role at second-five for the Crusaders outside Colin Slade, expects an improvement from his team for the final against the Waratahs in Sydney on Saturday night, and, just as importantly for a winner-takes-all match, better accuracy from his goalkicking.
New Zealand exhales. Turns out rumours of the decline of Richie McCaw and Daniel Carter have been greatly exaggerated.
McCaw and Carter both produced timely high-quality performances in Christchurch tonight as the Crusaders won through to their 11th – yes, 11th – Super Rugby final with a 38-6 dismantling of the Sharks. The Red 'n Blacks are now 80 minutes away from their eighth championship – but notably a first since 2008.
On a night when Kieran Read illuminated the big occasion with a stellar demonstration of his remarkable quality, and Fijian find of the year Nemani Nadolo was equally as destructive, the old soldiers McCaw and Carter were not a million miles off the standard set by the best player in the world.
With Read, this sort of stuff is as predictable as it is enjoyable. He is a colossus of the game completely at the peak of his powers. His every minute on the field these days is to be savoured.
Kieran Read, Dan Carter, Israel Dagg and Nemani Nadolo all return to the starting line-up for the Crusaders this weekend when they take on the Blues at AMI Stadium.
They are four of six new faces in the starting 15.
In the forwards, Ben Funnell and Owen Franks have taken starting spots in place of Corey Flynn and Nepo Laulala, who will be ready to inject some energy off the bench.
The stage is set for Dan Carter and Kieran Read to take command of the Crusaders for the final rocky weeks of Super Rugby, but coaching staff are cagey about the duo's prospects of starting against the resurgent Blues.
All Blacks flyhalf Carter, working his way back after a six-month sabbatical, and number eight Read came off the bench in the second half against the Hurricanes on Saturday but were powerless to stop their side falling to a 16-9 defeat.
The disappointing loss in Wellington has prompted calls for the pair to be thrown straight in against the Blues, who re-ignited their season with a confidence-boosting rout of the Western Force last week.
Crusaders head coach Todd Blackadder has named his team to play the Hurricanes this weekend. The team will head to Wellington on Friday to prepare for the game at Westpac Stadium on Saturday night.
Eight players have returned from the All Blacks to make the team, including prop Wyatt Crockett who will pack down with Corey Flynn and Nepo Laulala in the front row. Owen Franks will provide front row cover alongside Joe Moody and Ben Funnell on the bench.
Locks Dom Bird and Sam Whitelock will pair up in the second row, and Matt Todd will wear the No 7 jersey with Richie McCaw ruled out with a broken rib. Jordan Taufua and Luke Whitelock join him in the loose forwards with Kieran Read and Jimmy Tupou named in the reserves.
Dan Carter has played barely 120 minutes of club rugby since embarking on his sabbatical last November, but he has declared himself available for selection against the Hurricanes.
It is unlikely that the super-star flyhalf will be thrown straight into the mix. If selected, Carter would probably start off the bench.
Colin Slade, who was a member of the All Blacks squad for the recent series against England, is tipped to start at flyhalf Wellington as the Crusaders look to consolidate their position at the head of the New Zealand conference.
All Blacks flyhalf Dan Carter will make his comeback to rugby after six months in a minor club match in rural Canterbury province on Saturday.
Carter will play for the Southbridge club, where he began his career, in a local championships match against Glenmark.
Dan Carter has put his jet-setting lifestyle to bed and is back on the training pitch as he prepares himself for a return to rugby.
The experienced All Blacks flyhalf has been using his sabbatical this year to mingle with sports and entertainment celebrities around the planet, from Elton John to Rory McIlroy.
New Zealand flyhalf Dan Carter is hoping to bring an end to his sabbatical and make his Super Rugby return for the Crusaders in July.
The 32-year-old, the highest points scorer in test rugby, is hoping the six-month rest will help extend his international career through New Zealand's defence of the World Cup in 2015.
All Blacks flyhalf Dan Carter will have surgery to remove bone spurs from his right ankle, which is a separate issue from his Achilles injury.
New Zealand's Kieran Read says his side will be more eager to mark Dan Carter's 100th cap with a good performance than avenge last year's loss to England when the teams meet on Saturday.
Carter, 31, will become the fifth All Black to reach a century of caps if he plays at Twickenham.
Chris Rattue, one of the well-known New Zealand Rugby Journalists, wants Dan Carter not to be selected for the England clash and he believes Dan does not have the magic of old anymore.
It was not the perfect weekend for the All Blacks, with France running them close. This begs the question whether Daniel Carter is still the flyhalf maestro he once was.
All Blacks coach, Steve Hansen, says the All Blacks will be better against England compared to how they went against France.
The End Of Year Tours (Autumn Internationals) starts this coming weekend and this week we should see a lot of news in preparation of these Tours. The New Zealand NPC is over, the South African Currie Cup has a new Champion, now the International stage lights up again!
The New Zealand All Blacks believe Dan Carter will be ready to face Japan and has also sent an S.O.S. call to prop Jeff Toomaga-Allen as cover for Joe Moody who was injured in the NPC Final.
With the All Blacks having beaten the Springboks over the weekend, in The Rugby Championship, they have extended their lead to four points over the second placed Springboks.
It would however seem that not everything is sunny in the All Black camp though.
Flyhalf Daniel Carter will return to the New Zealand side for Saturday's Rugby Championship clash against Argentina after recovering from a calf strain, while centre Francis Saili will make his test debut.
The 31-year-old Carter had been expected to play the first Rugby Championship match against Australia in Sydney last month but pulled up with the injury at training and missed the return fixture in Wellington.
The All Blacks look set to welcome back star flyhalf Dan Carter from injury as they returned to training ahead of their Rugby Championship clash with the Pumas next weekend.
The bulk of the squad – excluding 10 players who were released for provincial duty – reassembled for their first training session in Hamilton on Sunday following a timely week-long break.
The latest flyhalf injury to hit the All Blacks seems a minor setback for coach Steve Hansen whose major issue appears to be who to cut when all players are fit.
Tom Taylor, New Zealand's fourth-ranked flyhalf, has been sidelined for three weeks with a rib injury suffered late in Saturday's 27-16 win over Australia where he made his Test debut with a confident display.

The ground-support facilities commonly known as FBOs (for fixed-base operations) represent a critical link in the private aviation chain. They provide aircraft fueling, hangars and parking tie-downs, cleaning and water replenishment, meeting spaces, catering facilities and, at some locations, maintenance services.

As soon as its first owner departs from the manufacturer's delivery center, a new airplane technically becomes used (or preowned). For various reasons, however, 10 years after an aircraft's final production date is generally considered the milestone separating "newer" used business aircraft from "older" ones.
June 26, 2013
Two corporate aircraft runway accidents in recent years underscore the importance of understanding your aviation insurance policy and communicating key details to all pertinent parties. The 2007 accidents—in Nova Scotia, Canada, and Santa Barbara, California—resulted in no serious passenger injuries but caused millions of dollars' worth of damage.
June 26, 2013
Interest rates remain at historic lows, in part due to the Federal Reserve Bank's continued efforts to keep them there. Doesn't this mean that you should finance your next business jet purchase?
June 26, 2013
Some new or dramatically upgraded business jets have recently been certified, and manufacturers anticipate FAA approval for 19 more models over the next several years. Assuming the global economy improves, demand for them should be strong. Here's a look at the latest bizjet crop.
""When I made the film The Invention of Lying, they gave me a private jet for getting back and forth between New York and London. I thought, 'I will never use it' but I ended up using it every weekend. You turn up, right, and the airport is completely empty. I mean, there's just someone at the desk and then the pilot, who says, 'Are you ready to go?' and you say, 'Don't you want to see my passport?' and he goes, 'Oh yeah, I suppose I'd better.'" "
-—actor and comedian Ricky Gervais

Your original story cited people 'familiar with the situation' definitively saying there was a deal. What does this person(s) say now? Do they retract their story, stick by it, modify it? I feel that you are being 'coy' as well. Can you say exactly what you do and do not know? Thank you
What's the point of a comments section if you are going to delete all of them? Yesterday there were tons of comments on this article pointing out all the fraud and hypocrisies.
Steve, it was written by the same writer who wrote this blog entry, yet she doesn't even acknowledge that her story was a giant inaccuracy and was completely misleading. No journalistic integrity at all anymore. Pay per click is all that matters- publish whatever story you want right???

China now has a key tool for sidestepping weak government enforcement of pollution controls, but only if it's allowed to function as intended.
The U.S. has been urging allies to steer clear of Asia's new China-led infrastructure investment bank. Robert Zoellick, former president of the World Bank, calls that approach mistaken on multiple levels.
Can legal reform and Communist Party control coexist in a way that will benefit Chinese governance and society?This is the question that confronts the country in the wake of its annual legislative gathering.
China's just-concluded legislative sessions seem to be another example of the deinstitutionalization of politics under Xi Jinping. Months from now, these meetings won't be seen as harbingers of reform, so much as another lost opportunity, writes CRT analyst Russell Moses.
Commentary: China's leaders have tended to concentrate their power and resources on policing areas they see as a threat to the existing political order, caring much less about social or moral order. That could be changing.

Sitting in a corner of a room, fourteen-year-old Pankaj Kumar (name changed) from Motihari district in Bihar was the quietest of the lot. Amidst the counselling and health check-up sessions, while most children were "promising" officials that they would study after returning home, Pankaj said, "Let me just go home please. It is my sister's wedding next month."
He, along with his two brothers, came to the city three months ago to earn for their 18-year-old sister's wedding. "I have three sisters and two of them are married. Our parents sent us to this city to earn money for my third sister's wedding. They had even promised us that we would be free after our sister got married. But now, all of us are stuck here."
The trio were among the 68 children — 51 from Bihar and 17 from Nepal — rescued by the Central Crime Branch and Labour Department officials from five bag manufacturing units in Devara Jeevana Halli on Monday, incidentally ahead of the Anti-Child Labour Day that's observed on Wednesday.
The three brothers were to leave the city on Wednesday. So much so, that they had even decided the colour of the saree that they would buy for their sister. But now, as they go through rigorous formalities after their rescue, they may not be able to make it in time for the wedding.
Meanwhile, other children currently lodged at the Government Boy's Home on Hosur Road seemed visibly excited about their new haircut, new hostel and even their new toothbrush. It was a pleasant change after the cramped and dingy rooms where they soiled their hands for meagre money they earned daily.
Another boy, also from Motihari district, says, "I am sure I will have to go back and work again." Working in poorly ventilated rooms for eight to ten hours a day, the children received wages ranging from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 3,000 a month. Rajendra Prasad, Superintendent of the Government Boy's Home, said the government would get in touch with the Social Welfare Department to send the boys back to their families.

A Mequon woman who ripped off her grandmother and her sister has pleaded guilty to tax evasion and filing a false claim against the IRS, according to court documents.
Leah M. Kuchta, 42, who worked as a certified public accountant, pleaded guilty earlier this month. Each of the counts carries up to five years in prison, but she is likely to get much less time under federal sentencing guidelines when she is sentenced in March.
In the plea agreement, the prosecutor agrees not to recommend a sentence of more than 30 months.
According to the plea agreement:
In 2005, Kuchta's grandmother received an inheritance of more than $1 million and it was held in trust. Kuchta persuaded her grandmother to grant her access. She told her grandmother she would invest the money in low-risk investments.
Kuchta immediately withdrew more than $900,000. Once the grandmother learned of the withdrawal, she confronted Kuchta, who said she had "messed up" and agreed to put the money back.
But she did not put all the money back, eventually spending $181,811 on personal expenses including starting a business with her boyfriend, buying a house in Mequon and investing in Arizona land deals.
Besides using her grandmother's trust for her benefit, Kuchta executed a land deal with her sister in which she took title to her sister's home to prevent it from going into foreclosure.
As part of the deal, Kuchta arranged to have a check issued for $30,000 in her sister's name. Kuchta then stole the check, forged her sister's name and deposited it in her personal account without telling her sister.
In all, Kuchta failed to pay $234,836 in taxes on unreported income in 2005.
Kuchta also ran a business called Sheva Investments with a business partner, who did not regularly file income tax returns. Kuchta falsely filed a tax return in her partner's name without telling the partner. In 2008, the false claims resulted in $89,561 paid by the IRS. The money went into Kuchta's personal account.
In the plea agreement, Kuchta agrees to pay the IRS $324,397 plus penalties and interest.

The 59-year-old had no choice: his prized cattle had tested positively for tuberculosis.
"It's sad because we spend our lives nurturing animals and you become attached to them," he says, feeding a group of two-month old calves in their neat pens.
It is a loss that Mr Moreton, who has 300 dairy cows on his 1,000-acre organic farm in south Gloucestershire, has had to endure many times. He lost five cows to TB last year and considers himself lucky if he survives a year without an outbreak.
His county, along with Devon, is one of the biggest TB "hot spots" where the disease strikes with alarming regularity. Nationally, bovine TB is costing the dairy industry millions of pounds every year.
Like most farmers, the married father of two is unequivocal about where the disease comes from. "Badgers," he says. "We have a lot of them around here; there are many setts on the farm.
"There is some TB passed between cattle but there is no doubt in my mind that badgers are the main culprits.
"They are persistent creatures and if they are short of food they will come looking for it. All it takes is one sick badger to cough in or near the cattle feed and the bacteria spreads like a virus in a primary school."
After years of frustration Mr Moreton hopes fervently that the Government will allow farmers to cull badgers when it announces the result of a consultation, expected in June.
"I would definitely have them shot if they are carrying TB," he says. "It would have to be done humanely by proper licensed marksmen but it would be a big step towards solving the problem."
The Government's proposals are hugely controversial. While almost all farmers who lose cattle to TB support culling, many animal welfare groups – and 68 MPs who have signed a parliamentary petition – are passionately opposed to it.
They say the scientific case for slaughter is not proven and cite research by the previous government which concluded that culling badgers was an ineffective way of tackling bovine TB because it is likely that some infected animals will survive, and with their social groups broken up they are more likely to wander the countryside spreading the disease further afield.
The badger, Britain's largest carnivorous wild mammal, is a staple character in children's literature and is much valued by nature-lovers.
Badgers are a protected species; anybody who kills one unlawfully faces up to six months in jail and a fine of up to £5,000. The size of the population is unknown but is estimated at 250,000 adults.
The Badger Trust is fighting a legal battle to prevent a cull in Wales and says it will "almost certainly" challenge any slaughter in England.
"Culling does not work and it is not necessary," said Jack Reedy, the trust's spokesman.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is expected to approve two methods to kill thousands of badgers: trapping and shooting, and "free shooting" the animals as they emerge from their setts.
In an attempt to minimise the risk of TB-infected badgers escaping from cull areas and spreading the disease more widely, last September ministers set out strict guidelines on how the killing operations would need to be carried out.
Farmers who wanted to shoot badgers would have to define a killing zone at least 150 sq km in size, with clear boundaries such as rivers and motorways that are hard for badgers to cross.
They would have to get permission from landowners to kill badgers on at least 70 per cent of the land within the zone.
The National Trust, one of Britain's biggest landowners, with 620,000 acres and 2,000 tenant farmers, paved the way for the Government to approve a cull when it said last week that it would permit the shooting of badgers on its land if that was authorised by ministers.
David Bulloch, the trust's head of nature conservation, said: "We do not object to the principle of killing badgers if the way it was done met the criteria for a meaningful cull set out by the Independent Scientific Group".
The trust would allow its tenant farmers to decide whether to carry out a cull and which method to use, Mr Bulloch said.
In its submission to the Defra consultation the trust said: "Having exhausted all other avenues and where the criteria for an effective badger cull have been met, we would not object to such culls taking part on our land."
But many members are appalled by the trust's stance. Yvonne Moore, 61, from Pembrokeshire, has resigned in protest, accusing the trust of betraying its principles.
Last week the trust also announced that it would pay for up to 350 badgers to be vaccinated in a four-year trial on its 6,400-acre Killerton estate in Devon, at a cost of £80,000 a year.
The four-year "trap-and-jab" programme will cost about £3,000 per sq km a year, compared with £2,500 for cage trapping and £200 for free shooting, according to Defra estimates.
Last year the Government cancelled five badger vaccination schemes on cost grounds while the taxpayers' bill for cattle TB tests and compensation for slaughtering nearly 25,000 cows was £63 million.
Some cattle were slaughtered unnecessarily after testing positively for TB. They did not actually have the disease, but had developed antibodies after contact with infected badgers - which is enough to trigger a positive test result.
Critics said the trust's vaccination trial was merely an attempt to placate members opposed to culling but Mr Bulloch insisted it was an attempt to move towards a "comprehensive approach" to tackling cattle TB.
John Kittow, a tenant farmer at Killerton, said the vaccination trial was "a good idea" but had to be part of a wider programme that included culling.
Mr Kittow, 47, has a 200-strong organic dairy herd, a "closed" herd he breeds himself, buying in only disease-free bulls. He is convinced that a rising badger population has spread TB among his cattle.
"I see badgers in daylight now," he said. "That never used to happen."
Most farmers are sceptical about the practicalities – and the cost – of vaccination, at least in the short-term.
"It costs seven or eight pounds a dose and you have to vaccinate every badger every year – that's when you can catch them," said Jan Rowe, 66, who has 180 dairy cattle on 500 acres in the Cotswolds, near Cheltenham.
"The vaccines are not effective enough yet. Oral vaccines would be easier to administer but they are still a long way off. Realistically we are looking at culling for four to five years to tackle the problem."
Mr Rowe's herd has been free of TB for only 18 months in the past 10 years. In that period he has lost 170 cattle, including six last year and 12 already this year.
The discovery of the disease causes more problems for farmers than simply the loss of cattle and their milk or beef.
Cattle movements and trade are severely restricted and TB farms have to undergo tests by vets every 60 days instead of every year.
Stephen Radford, 49, has seen his 450-acre farm, with 170 dairy cows, near Tiverton, Devon, "shut down" by TB outbreaks for most of the past nine years.
"The badgers have a lot to answer for," he said. "Ultimately, we have to control it with vaccination but right now we have to cull – humanely, not in gung-ho fashion – in high-risk areas.
Persuading the owners of 70 per cent of the cull areas to agree to the slaughter would, however, be "a huge challenge", he said.
Back on his "shut down" farm in south Gloucestershire, Mr Moreton takes a break from feeding his pedigree cows. "Badgers have been a problem around here all my life," he said. "It really is time to do something about it.

In almost all developing countries major proportion (between 60% - 65%) of total population resides in rural areas. Their main occupation is agriculture that is subsistence or peasant agriculture. Most of these rural dwellers grind out a meager and often inadequate existence in agricultural pursuits.
This stagnant and often regressive economic life in rural areas breeds the main problems such as poverty, inequality, and high population growth rate in developing countries and is acting as an important road block in the path of these countries to achieve economic growth in real meaningful sense.
With large proportion of population confined to rural areas and engaged in agriculture related pursuits, developing counties if want real development and also on self – sustaining basis then they have to include the rural areas in general and agricultural sector in particular in their development plans and formulate specific policies that address the issues of these two avenues.
So, in view of sheer number of people being located in rural areas and dwelling in absolute poverty and primarily engaged in subsistence agriculture any analysis of development problems should place heavy emphasis on the study of agricultural systems, especially peasant agriculture, and the rural sector because then only the fruits of development could reach the majority of population around the world.
