Disgraced ex-Cabinet minister Chris Huhne forced his ex-wife Vicky Pryce into an abortion, the court heard this afternoon.
Pryce, giving emotional evidence from the witness box, told how her then husband had bullied her and said: "I have regretted it ever since".
She spoke at Southwark crown court of rows and disputes in their marriage even though "I cared for him a lot and I was very much in love".
They had met in 1987, when she had already had two children by a previous marriage and they were to marry in 1994.
In 1990 she became accidentally pregnant and Huhne, who she describes as "very driven, very ambitious and arrogant", forced her into a termination.
"I wanted to keep the baby because it was healthy and I quite like babies, that's why I have had so many," said the mother of five.
Then with her voice cracking with emotion she went on: "But he was absolutely opposed to it. He said it was bad for our family, bad for his career as it would tie us down. He got me to have an abortion which I have regretted ever since.
"I didn't want to do it. I have thought about it a lot since but I felt I had absolutely no choice because he was adamant about it."
She said that Huhne considered few people intellectually superior to him and treated her as inferior.
The Greek-born heiress and respected economist said that she had a "fiery temperament but had learned to compromise in their marriage".
Pryce has pleaded not guilty to perverting the course of justice by accepting penalty points on her licence after Huhne was caught speeding in March 2003, which would have led to a driving ban which would have damaged his political career.
She said she is innocent on the grounds of marital coercion.
Pryce also told the court that she "had no choice" but to take her husband's speeding points.
She said that in 2003, when his car was clocked speeding, he nominated her as the driver without consulting her, and then pressured her to sign the form saying she was the driver.
He was keen to avoid losing his licence because it would affect his chances of being nominated as the prospective parliamentary candidate for Eastleigh, she said, and had asked her to take the points.
"I knew, of course, immediately that I had not driven the car and, of course, had not incurred the penalty," she said.
"But also I resisted. I had absolutely no wish to take on his points because I knew full well he was a very, very fast driver and very often ignored speed limits and had brought it on himself."
She said they argued for "a number of days" about the issue, but then it "went quiet".
Pryce, wearing a dark skirt and black jacket, said: "A little while later I received an envelope addressed to me which I opened and it looked as if suddenly these points were addressed to me as the person who had been nominated as the driver of that vehicle.
"I exploded," she said, and added that she probably swore, saying: "What is going on?"
"I said 'I am not doing this, I am not signing anything, these are not my points."
After leaving the letter in their hallway, a few days later she said she was called downstairs.
"My husband was standing by the form which actually I had just left and abandoned myself on the table, maybe a couple of days earlier, with a pen in his hand, saying 'You have absolutely got to sign that. If you don't, the implications will be considerable'.
"'It's ridiculous you're not signing it, just sign here'."
Pryce said her name was already filled in and she just had to sign at the bottom.
She told the jury: "I had no choice at the time because he was standing there saying 'This is it, this is the nomination form, you have got to sign this now'.
"I looked at this and realised I had absolutely no choice. I was already nominated.
"It looked like a complete fait accompli for me and for him.
"I had been worn down over a period of time and it looked to me like it was the only thing I could possibly do.
"It didn't look to me like I had any choice at all in the matter so I took this pen and signed, protesting all the time, but I did it."
Earlier the court heard that Huhne's downfall started with a whispered conversation over a quiet lunch.
It ended nearly two years later when the Lib-Dem ex-minister pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice and faces prison.
Political journalist Isabel Oakeshott told the court that she had met Pryce by chance in the queues outside the Lib-Dem conference in Liverpool in September 2010.
Only four months earlier Pryce and Huhne's marriage had ended in a blaze of press publicity over his affair with press aide Carina Trimingham.
Oakeshott and Pryce met again later and arranged lunch which took place in March 2011, the court heard.
"We talked about the breakdown of her marriage and towards the end of the meal she mentioned to me that she had taken speeding points on behalf of her husband and had been pressurised to do that," the Political Editor of the Sunday Times told the court.
"That was clearly an interesting and very serious allegation to make against a government minister.
"The conversation over lunch was quite brief and she made that allegation slightly under her breath.
"I had to ask her to say it again as I had not really understood what she had said.
"She didn't go into any further detail. I remember she said it was in 2003 so clearly a very long time previously."
Oakeshott said that over the coming months Pryce suggested that "an assistant" had taken Huhne's speeding points for him but this turned out to be a "red herring".
At this time Pryce wanted to reveal what she described as Huhne's "true character" in a book but Oakeshott persuaded her that the story should be published in the Sunday Times.
Pryce was also fearful that if her name was published in connection with the story she could be prosecuted by police. Oakeshott described Pryce as "very, very hurt" and "fragile" over the collapse of her marriage with her moods changing from day to day.
The court has heard that Pryce sent Oakeshott an email confirming how much she wanted to "nail" ex-husband Huhne.
The case continues.

Just how did the British firm behind the confirmation of flight MH370's final path solve the mystery?
Inmarsat's engineers began searching for any trace of the plane immediately after its disappearance.
While it was quickly confirmed MH370's normal reporting system was switched off, one of the company's satellites picked up hourly "pings" from a port on the plane.
It then used these to piece together possible flight routes. The company deduced the plane continued to fly for at least five hours after leaving Malaysian airspace.
Space engineers compared the satellite handshake "pings" from missing jet MH370 with other tracked commercial flights to determine it had crashed into the middle of the Indian Ocean.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najiv Razak today (NZT) revealed that analysis "never before used in an investigation of this sort" had shown the Malaysian airliner had crashed into the southern Indian Ocean.
That analysis was undertaken by mobile communications company Inmarsat, which provides satellite data for Malaysia Airlines.
Even though the plane's transponder and ACARS system were turned off, the company's box on the Boeing 777 - equivalent to a mobile phone handset - stayed on and was polled every hour by Inmarsat's satellite.
The British company initially looked at the amount of time these handshake pings took to travel from the plane to its satellite 35,000 kilometres above the equator to determine the aircraft was moving along either a north or south corridor.
It passed on that discovery on March 11.
"Effectually we looked at the Doppler effect, which is the change in frequency, due to the movement of a satellite in its orbit. What that then gave us was a predicted path for the northerly route and a predicted path the southerly route," Chris McLaughlin, senior vice president of external affairs at Inmarsat, told the Daily Telegraph.
"They've tested it off against a number of other aircraft known flights and come to the conclusion that only the southern route was possible," McLaughlin told Sky News on Monday (local time).
"We refined that with the signals we got from other (777) aircraft and that then gives you a very, very good fit.
"Previous aircraft provided a pattern and that pattern to the south is virtually what we got in our suggested estimates.
"So the fit is very, very strong."
McLaughlin said the company was relying on a 1990s satellite over the Indian Ocean that wasn't GPS equipped.
But scientists could work out the approximate direction of travel "plus or minus 100 miles to a track line".
"All we can do is to say we believe it is in this general location.
"We can not give you the final few feet and inches of where it landed. It's just not that sort of system."
While the company was able to work out where the last ping was sent from, the aircraft likely still had some fuel remaining.
But it would have run out before the next automated handshake.
Inmarsat has been appointed a technical advisor to the UK Air Accident Investigation Branch.
It passed on the new analysis after it was peer-reviewed by other experts in the UK space industry and compared with Boeing.
McLaughlin said systems that kept track of a plane's precise location should be mandated world-wide "and it could be delivered tomorrow".

I'm a big fan of Terrone. Their pizzas cannot be beat. Just a note to the reviewer, Mr. Bentson - Quatro Stagioni pizzas are supposed to have their toppings distributed like that (in approximate quarters). This is the classic "Four Seasons" Italian pizza. A quick Internet search will show you many pictures of this type of pizza where that is the case. I had one of these just the other day, and have before, and am happy to report mine never suffered from puddles of juice.

At the Movies meets Entourage in season premiere
Vinney was playing with dynamite. It wasn't good for Vincent's career, but it was great for Entourage. Failure is always funnier than success, isn't it?
Well, as bad as viewers thought Medellin seemed to be based on the brief scenes we saw last season, in the September 7th premiere on HBO, the media weighs in. At the Movies' critics Michael Phillips and Richard Roeper filmed a fictional review of Medellin to be shown in season premiere of Entourage, and it's not good. In fact, if they were stilling using the thumb-o-meter, Medellin would get two big thumbs-down.
Bruce Campbell injured on Burn Notice set
While chatting with Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune, creator Matt Nix was talking about the new season of Burn Notice -- more on that below -- when he casually mentioned Bruce Campbell was hurt on the set.

Vote for your favorite Simpsons character
Now that Shrek-mania, Spider-mania, Pirates-mania, Transformers-mania, Rat-mania, Potter-mania and Evan Almighty-mania have come and gone this summer it's time for Simpsons-mania to rev itself up in anticipation of The Simpsons theatrical release at the end of this month. What better way to get into the swing of things than to vote for your favorite Simpsons character.
That's easily done, courtesy of The Chicago Tribune's Redeye website. The first round of voting featured sixteen match-ups. Among those competing were Homer versus Selma and Patty, Marge versus Fat Tony, and Bart versus Principal Skinner. The best match-up, according to the website, was Comic Book Guy versus Apu. Out of nearly 10,000 responses Apu beat C.B.G. with 62% of the vote.
Capt. Thrace trounces Jack Bauer in RedEye character contest
The Chicago Tribune's/RedEye's NCAA tournament-like contest for the best character on TV is all over. And in the end, it was no contest at all.
RedEye announced today that Battlestar Galactica's Capt. Kara "Starbuck" Thrace seriously trounced 24's illustrious terrorist hunter Jack Bauer by getting 3,061 votes to his 777.
Whoa. I did not expect the seemingly invincible Bauer to be defeated by anyone. In just this season alone, Bauer has deactivated a nuclear weapon, wielded a cigar cutter as an amputation device against a Russian diplomat and used plastic wrap as an interrogation tool on his own brother. Just mere hours after being released from a Chinese prison. I guess Bauer has met his match, and it's not in the form of a terrorist.

Obamacare prompts firms to rethink health benefits

Few employers have begun changing health benefits in advance of the Affordable Care Act, but some are considering dropping company-sponsored plans once Obamacare is implemented, according to results of a survey released Thursday.
About 10 percent of companies who responded are thinking about ending employer-sponsored health benefits, but only 2 percent have implemented strategies to do so, according to the Buck Consultants' Compensation Planning Survey.
The seventh annual survey collected data from 329 organizations, including some of the largest companies in the nation. Buck Consultants, a division of Xerox, conducts a range of human resources and compensation surveys.
"Even though this survey indicates a lack of action by employers, we know they are actively engaged in planning their health care strategy while carefully watching the evolving public marketplace," said Tami Simon, managing director of Buck's Knowledge Resource Center.
As part of the Affordable Care Act, online health insurance exchanges opened in Ohio and the rest of the nation on Tuesday to allow individuals and small businesses to buy coverage. The shutdown of the federal government on the same day was an effort by congressional Republicans to derail the law, which will extend health insurance to millions of Americans, including about 164,000 residents of Southwest Ohio who now lack coverage. More than 1.2 million Ohio adults, ages 18 to 65, are uninsured.
The mandate that companies with 50 or more full-time employees provide medical insurance or face fines has been deferred to 2015 by the administration of President Barack Obama.

Powerful people are manipulating us for their own ends, Don Nicolson believes. And the only way to defeat them is to allow free enterprise to have free rein.
The retiring president of Federated Farmers is convinced New Zealand is a victim of international job-creation schemes.
"There are senior people who absolutely know what they're doing," he says. "They've created industries by building complexity into everything. Every time they write something down – when it goes from the head to the paper – that's when we're lost."
However, we can be saved if free enterprise is given more encouragement. "It's like in the old days, when your mother made stew and you skimmed the surface off to get to the good bits underneath. I trust the good bits to come through."
The Invercargill farmer's time with the lobby group might be ending, but he admits to a hankering to stay in the corridors of power.
He describes his politics as "where the National Party used to be" and says that while he hasn't yet received offers from political parties, he is open to an approach.
His aim as president of the 27,000-member federation has been to open people's eyes to the dangers of an over-complicated bureaucracy.
An example on an international scale is the emissions trading scheme, he says. He has led Federated Farmers' fight against the scheme, gaining a small victory when the National Government delayed agriculture's entry and reduced the scheme's impact on farmers, but losing the battle to have it removed altogether.
Asked if he thinks the ETS is a con someone came up with, he replies: "I do think it is exactly like that."
It is part of a United Nations effort to move resources from developed to developing countries to grow them out of the poverty trap, he says. "It is about creating jobs to prevent anarchy."
So, a group of shadowy powerful people decided to make the ETS for job-creation? "Yes, but I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I don't know where the round table was that devised this scheme, but I think the genesis was in a green movement somewhere.
"I have to say the green movement has done a great job of getting into the hearts and minds of the international population. They have infiltrated everywhere.
"Sadly, those of us who are at the base of a production system just got on and did our job, not understanding the dynamic that was filtering through the Western World."
He came into the presidency three years ago wanting to open people's eyes to this, but met resistance within and outside the federation. "So many people try to deviate you from your core principles that I have to check myself at times to see if I have been pulled off line."
While he is disappointed at not having more success, his confidence has grown.
"I'm heartened that people seem to respect what I say." He singles out deposed ACT leader Rodney Hide as a kindred spirit.
He counts the changes to the ETS as one of the federation's big wins of his term. Another was to persuade banks to lower floating rates for rural customers, a move worth between a quarter and half a billion dollars, he says.
Others have been to gain an extra $250 million in funding for rural broadband and the likely peaceful solution to the argument over high-voltage power lines crossing farmland.
He gives credit to chief executive Conor English and strategic communications manager David Broome, adding that the advantages of having good communications have been a revelation. It has been a key reason why membership has risen to cover an estimated 60 per cent to 70 per cent of all farmers.
His biggest regret has been a failure to get local body rates funding reform. "It would stop the unfair treatment of a ratepaying minority – farmers. Hopefully, it will still happen."
HE PREDICTS the federation's next big fight will be over proposals to protect regenerating scrubland on farms. "We have the public wanting to take authority over our lands without full compensation. That's got to stop."
Compensation must be paid, he says, and it should be backdated to include land taken in past decades. "We have land locked up in public parks and in covenanted land, but we have society saying we should give more. If they want more they're going to have to pay for it. It's a fundamental tenet of Western law."
If a political career is not to be, he will happily go back to the farm. At 54, he is no longer prepared to throw himself into the physical work of sheep handling, and has reduced his flock from 3700 ewes to 400 and turned more to dairying support.
He feels the previous generation let his generation down by distorting markets with subsidies – what he calls privilege.
"The lesson I learnt in 1985, when the impediments of privilege were removed, is that the evolution of the best ideas will only happen with free enterprise. I learned that society is damaged by the distortions created by government policy."
But before then he was a beneficiary of subsidies, earning the money to buy his farm by milling timber for farmers flush with funds from the Livestock Incentive Scheme and supplementary minimum prices.
When these were removed he says he went from being wealthy to technically insolvent in three to four years. He and wife Gail struggled to survive.
"We didn't buy the consumer goods everyone in the cities were getting. We had two girls, but 10 years apart because we couldn't afford it. People look at you sideways when you say that."
Today, people say how hard it is for a young person to go farming, but it's always been hard, he says. "You've got to be resilient, and you've got to be able to take adversity on the chin and move on."
He worries that farmers are losing their individuality with a trend to making them conform to a set of ideals. He talks about "mind-managed clones" and the rise of corporate farms – "machines that spit out a product". "That's not what our forefathers fought for."
This brings him to the National Animal Identification and Tracing scheme, strenuously opposed by Federated Farmers and now delayed till next year.
The idea was sound, based on exporting safe, trusted food, but the proof that it was not needed was in the way it was promoted to farmers, as a way to improve their on-farm production, he says.
"Those people who negotiate our market access saw it as a point of difference, but they didn't consult the farmers who have to wear the cost. I asked where in the world was traceability demanded as a condition of market entry for our produce, and the answer was nowhere."
Overshadowing the federation for years to come will be the fight against the ETS. "We've got to get the biologicals out of the scheme," he says, referring to the inclusion of animal methane and nitrous oxide emissions. "New Zealand is in an international club of one on this. We don't need it, it's nonsense."
He is not convinced climate change is man-made. "Climate variation has always occurred and always will. The science is not conclusive, but I do know, and this is key to me, it is important to use the world's resources wisely and responsibly."
It is also important to build resilience to climate variation into the community. "But it shouldn't be predicated on fear factors. And it is. A lot of people have had this fear of tomorrow put into their head."
The fear of war and nuclear disasters has not come from people pursuing free enterprise, he says. "They're from man's religious or political belief, or arrant power belief."
The people who want to hold back population growth fear the future. "What if we froze the world population at the 1.6 billion it was in 1900? In Wellington 110 years later, we'd still have little wooden shacks on Oriental Pde and we wouldn't be as healthy.
"We are just light years ahead and what bugs me is the people who are scared about this stuff don't understand that science has allowed an evolution of ideas, all driven by population growth.
"The only impediments to solving the world's problems are the people who say we can't. We've turned from being a can-do society, which was when I was a kid and you had to be resourceful and self-determined, to being a can't-do society.
"I trust in the evolution of good commonsense ideas. And you get them from open and free, and responsible, markets."

Last week's $1M Korean Open "was blighted by a number of match retirements by players in the singles and doubles draws, a now common occurrence on the tour." Taufik said, "There is talk that badminton may not make it as a sport in the 2020 Olympics. We must bear in mind that other sports are strongly lobbying to be included" (REUTERS, 1/16).

'Put lots of hours in'
Last updated at 11:29, Tuesday, 15 January 2013
ANDY Steele has had a varied career and his latest venture has seen him open a new bar Ulverston. Besides his duties running Bar 6, in Daltongate, the 47-year-old is also the vice chairman of Ulverston Rugby Club.
What school did you go to?
Ulverston Victoria.
What was your favourite subject?
What qualifications did you leave with?
I left with three A-Levels and four GCEs.
Did you go onto further/ higher education – if so, where and what to study?
I went to college but not university.
What was the best advice/ learning you got at school or college?
The best advice I got was to work hard.
What was your ambition before you got your first job?
My ambition was to go into the Royal Marines but it never happened. I ended up joining the shipyard.
Did you have a role model you looked up to and why?
My dad – he was in the RAF.
What jobs had your family done in the past?
My family have all been involved with the services. They have been in the army, the navy and the air force.
What was your first job?
My first job was in 1981, when I went to the shipyard as an apprentice.
What has been your career path between your first job and the one you do today?
I have done everything. I have done lots of different jobs, including painting planes in Hannover.
What's the best thing about your job?
The best thing about the job is the variety of different people that come in that you get to meet on a daily basis. The worst thing is the unsociable hours.
What one thing would you change about your job if you could?
If I could change anything it would be that government doesn't put another tax on beer in the next few weeks.
What advice would you give someone starting out today?
I would say: put lots of hours in, work hard and make sure you have a family life and social life at the same time.

I don't need more books, but I can't walk by a cartful of used paperbacks (these look new!) without peeking. Yup, I found these today; one I've been meaning to read for a while, the other just sounds so riveting! Maybe you'll find something to read on a quiet afternoon at the library for just a buck (sometimes less) from the book sale sections, too. At least I don't have to worry about late fines. What's your latest find?

Climbing the greasy pole... with painful consequences! Contestants grapple with crazy game at religious festival in Malta
- Feast of St. Julian is celebrated annually in St. Julian's, Malta
- The highlight is the greasy poll competition at the beach
In the traditional 'gostra', a game stretching back to the Middle Ages, Maltese young men, women and children have to scrabble their way to the top of a very greasy pole.
If they manage the tricky feat, they need to then uproot one of the flags to claim their hard-won prize.
The comical sight of contestants slithering to victory happens every year on August 25 for the religious feast of St Julian, patron of the town of St Julian's, outside the capital Valletta.
Scroll down for video
Energetic: A man running up the pole covered in grease during the religious feast in Malta
Skilful: One man manages to grab a flag on the pole in the town of St Julian's
Victory: An agile young man is just inches away from collecting his prize
Celebrations start from days before the actual date, with the town covered in lights and flags.
On the day of the feast, there is a procession around town carrying a statue of St. Julian followed by brass band music .
Then it is time for the climax of the festivities - the much-loved pole competition.
Residents of all agilities can enter, making it an exciting and unpredictable spectacle.
From May to September in Malta, there is hardly a weekend when a town or a village is not celebrating the feast of its patron saint or other saints revered in different churches.
Unlucky: It can be very easy to sli right off and take a tumble, much to the amusement of the crowd

Two weeks into MasterChef New Zealand (TV One, 7.30 Sunday) and we have a line-up of the usual suspects. The crew from central casting have been at it again.
The rough diamond is – was – here in spades. Even before the first challenge he'd got drunk, stayed up till 5.30am, won huge amounts gambling. Plating up is a challenge because he's too blokey for that rubbishy pretty stuff, but ask him to chuck something he's recently slaughtered on to a barbie and no probs, mate. Going home? The programme's producers will be gutted.
The squealer. This reviewer can't stand them en masse in cafes. But individually they're fine. Episode 2 is by nature subdued. Though when four women go through to the top 16 together, time for a group hug, a group rush through door, and a group super-squeal. The weeper can appeal if it's weeping for joy, irritate enormously if it's self-pity. Wisely, the judges tend to deal early to the lachrymose.
The modest mum. Awww, come on ... you can do it! I wouldn't have dared try out but the kids said, Mum, you can do it!
Mr Arrogant. Why shouldn't he win? He's done well at everything else he's ever tried. The judges love to put him through the mouli.
Ms Haughty is more appealing. This year we have catwalk class cheekbones.
The ingenue. If they're under 20 or call themselves a student, or are guilelessly pretty, this is them.
The interestingly ethnic. Suitably, because of the mix that we New Zealanders are, MasterChef reflects this. The bar is set high though: who will ever be able to outdo Jax? But ... there is a strong contender.
The sycophant quickly learns to use "chef" in a way that makes it sound like "Your Worship". They are filmed laughing too keenly at anything barely resembling a joke from the judges.
The top restaurant chefs can be ordinary. The one who sounded like his next sentence would be: "We haf ways of making you talk" was just a little scary.
The judges. Fine, but could learn something from The Great British Bake Off.
The viewer: waddling to the fridge, the pantry. Every ad break.

U.S. Court of Appeals' FERC 1000 Decision a Big Step Forward for America's Clean Energy Economy
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Statement from EDF Lead Counsel on Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Order 1000
Mica Odom, (512) 691-3451, firstname.lastname@example.com
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld a vital measure today to support a low-cost, low-carbon future for America's energy system. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Order 1000 lays the groundwork for transmission planners, particularly those in regions without wholesale electricity markets like the Southeast and some parts of the West, to create and participate in regional, rather than local, planning processes. By broadening the geographic scope and pool of information, regional planners can make more informed decisions and plan transmission more efficiently, thus increasing electric reliability for states and mitigating harmful pollution from power plants.
FERC Order 1000 also creates a pathway for clean energy. In addition to increasing information-sharing in the regional planning process, transmission planners can now take advantage of non-transmission alternatives, such as distributed energy, storage and energy efficiency, to provide electric reliability, rather than building new transmission lines. Furthermore, the Order recognizes state rights to create specific policies, like Renewable Portfolio Standards, which can be recognized in regional transmission plans to further enable the use and acceleration of wind and solar energy into America's energy system.
"Environmental Defense Fund applauds the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for crafting a robust 'coordination' order for independent transmission planners. As the backbone of our energy infrastructure, the transmission system is designed to supply vital electricity in the most efficient way possible. FERC 1000 is the key to unlocking efficiencies that have the potential to incorporate more clean energy solutions in the planning process, which will result in low-cost electricity and clean air."

Chaney refuses to step down
Don Chaney is still coach of the Knicks, but there are plenty of signs that suggest he's on his way out.
As far as they know, Don Chaney is still the head coach.
"It's a lot of pressure, the doubt part of it, waiting. But I'm not a quitter. I've never quit anything in my entire life," he said in the New York Post. "I'm going to hang in there. I don't care what the obstacles are, how tough. I've never quit on anything and I won't quit on this either. If it's inevitable, and [the players] see the writing on the wall, I expect them to still play. I don't want them playing for me, I want them playing for themselves. Have your own self-pride, win for the team. If I'm not here to coach it, somebody else will. But I want these guys to be men and compete."

EU ambassadors leaving Belarus
All Minsk-based ambassadors of the European Union's countries were expected to leave Belarus on Wednesday amid an escalating diplomatic row, BelaPAN said.
On Tuesday, the Belarusian foreign ministry "recommended" that the head of the EU delegation to Belarus and the ambassador of Poland to Belarus return to their capitals for consultations, while simultaneously recalling the country's permanent representative in Brussels and ambassador in Warsaw. The decision was announced one day after the EU imposed travel bans and asset freezes on new Belarusian officials over alleged human rights violations.
Following the announcement, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton called a meeting of Member States Ambassadors at which a decision was made that the ambassadors of EU member states in Minsk would all be withdrawn for consultations to their capitals "in expression of solidarity and unity."
Polish Ambassador Leszek Szerepka had left Belarus by Wednesday evening, while Maira Mora, head of the EU Delegation to Belarus, was expected to do so later in the day.
The other EU ambassadors were expected to gather at the French embassy for consultations before leaving Belarus on February 29.
Andrey Savinykh, spokesman for the Belarusian foreign ministry, described the European Union's decision to withdraw all its ambassadors from Minsk as a nervous reaction.
"The EU's nervous reaction to Belarus' suggestion that the ambassadors of the EU office and Poland [in Minsk] hold a round of consultations in their capitals testifies only to one thing: Brussels has chosen the path of escalation of tension," Mr. Savinykh told reporters in Minsk on Wednesday.
"This is a blind path," Mr. Savinykh stressed. "Brussels and the capitals of the EU member states should remember that the tactics of intimidation does not work with respect to Belarus. The normalization of the relations is impossible in the context of the use of pressure on a unilateral basis. Only a decent dialogue on the basis of mutual respect and mutual acceptance could produce a constructive result. We hope that our partners will understand this."

Jeff Barnard,file, Associated Press
The Oregon Senate on Tuesday overwhelmingly supported a proposal adding three marine reserves to state waters.
If the bill, which advanced on a 25-5 vote, also passes the House, it would bring the total to five areas protecting marine habitat within state waters. It also would end a decade of fighting in Salem over the idea of protecting coastal waters from intense fishing to assure fish and crabs will thrive.
Despite misgivings, Sen. Betsy Johnson, D-Scappoose, urged passage, saying creating the reserves would "serve as an inoculation" against the prospects for a ballot measure that would be even tougher on the economies of coastal communities struggling from longstanding cutbacks in commercial fishing.
In 2009 the Legislature created two pilot reserves and set up an intense process for fishermen, conservation groups, and coastal communities to find agreement. The bill was made up of recommendations from the Ocean Policy Advisory Council based on those negotiations.
The new areas are off Cape Perpetua, Cape Falcon, and Cascade Head, and cover 5 percent of state waters. The areas have core areas where fishing is outright banned, surrounded by areas where trolling and crab pots are allowed. Bottom trawling is not allowed.
"This is simply a way of tying up the seas in much the same way we did the forest," said Sen. Fred Girod, R-Stayton, before casting a no vote.
Sen. Jeff Kruse, R-Roseburg, said the bill took pains to protect the economies of coastal communities, while leaving room to change course if scientific evidence points a different way in the future.
Brad Pettinger, a commercial fishing boat owner and member of the Oregon Trawl Commission, said trawlers, which drag heavy nets on rollers along the ocean bottom, are already relegated by federal regulations to deeper waters. The biggest impacts would be on crab fishing, which is Oregon's biggest single commercial fishery, and commercial and recreational hook-and-line fishing for groundfish, he said.
Oregon is the last of the three West Coast states to create a network of marine reserves. Both California and Washington have more extensive networks.
Ben Enticknap, Pacific project manager for the conservation group Oceana, said the science was clear that marine reserves increase the size and diversity of marine species, and that abundance spreads outside the boundaries of the reserves.
The Oregon network will show whether a network of reserves, connected by ocean currents, will help coastal waters survive the changes from global warming and the acidification of ocean waters that warming waters bring, he said.

Roland Unleash X2 Software Range
This new series of software sees the blanket release of a refined version of FX Chains from the X1 range. Unlike X1, FX Chains 2.0 comes as part of SONAR X2 Essential, Studio and Producer.
Apart from this feature becoming both more refined and more widely commercially available, it has also been partnered with some of SONAR's other features.
When added to the Producer exclusive feature ProChannel it enables multi-effect possibilities in any order, at any time, which are drag-and-drop rout-able and collapsible.
It also enables gain staging and multiple modules within ProChannel to name but a few of its exciting new features.
With all the features of the original made that bit more efficient, and a workflow and usability described as 'seamless' by Cakewalk, making greater use of their award winning Skylight User Interface than ever before, expect this series to be one of the must have packages in the run-up to Christmas.
SONAR X2 Essential, Studio and Producer suites will be available on Gear4music.com from September 2012.

This contest is open to primary school pupils in Years Three to Six and secondary school students nationwide.
Primary school contest templates are out today while secondary school templates will be out on April 30 in the Newspaper-in-Education pullout.
