BT still struggling to fix Olympic problems
@ neil hanvey
'am i the only one who read 'large thrust borer' as 'large thrust boner'?'
No, but I suspect El Reg relish any opportunity to emphasise it wasn't just a borer, nor even a large borer, but a large THRUST borer.
Personally I think the whole story cries out for Playmobilisation. Not quite as much as the Home Sec's sec. home home sex is positively gagging for it, but it's been a while since the Reg brought Playmobil's laser-like insight to a story.
Phorm moves beyond privacy - except when slating rivals
Phorm having Norman Lamont as CEO
Is somewhat like trying to attract lovers with a dead rat hanging round your neck.
Couldn't they get someone classier - like David Blunkett?
Nork splash shot snapped by passing satellite
Not a failure
This is a glorious Socialist triumph and shows the limitation of Western capitalist thinking.
Unlike Imperialist Running Dog satellites which must be put into high orbits to do their useful work, North Korea's revolutionary (in every sense of the word) Kwangmyŏngsŏng is even now serenading the Pacific whale population with the soul-stirring 'Song of General Kim Il-sung'.
All together now:
'Vast snowy fields of Manchuria please tell me
Endless night deep in the Taiga please tell me
Immortal guerilla warrior, who is he?
Outstanding patriot, who is it?'
(Clue: it's not Noel Edmonds)
EC blasts mobile masts away from schools and hospitals
'as the general public feels uninformed about the issue.'

@ amanfromMars
'Crikey, can we expect Playmobil to up the Ante with a Jacqui Smith role/pole model .... suitably provocatively dressed for those just getting on [with] the job evenings at home around the telly.'
Whoa! Not only did I understand that, but it is a hugely important question for the Register's quality reporters.
Why haven't you teased us with a Playmobil recreation of the sort of filth enjoyed by Wacqui Jacqui's other half?
And don't let the feeble excuse of not knowing which movie it was get in the way. We know (and when I say "know", I mean "don't have a clue, but wouldn't it be funny if") it involved a couple of dogs, Optimus Prime and an airport security checkpoint operator.
Where oh where?
Is the Alistair Darling action doll?
Complete with thick sheafs of briefing notes, detachable eyebrows and dreary monotone voice ready to pummel the evil empire of mighty - errrr - Iceland into submission.
Alistair Darling: You'll believe an accountant can fly - at least downwards until the pavement intervenes.
IPS misses its ID cards for foreigners target
Chip and PIN?
Hands up anyone who can see the new security loophole.
We've gone from iris recognition to facial recognition to fingerprints (sort of) and now we're putting our faith in four numbers from 0 to 9?
If a PIN is all that's required to access *any* part of the ID card system then the system is compromised as useful functionality will be obtainable by using easily forged chip and PIN cards.

Boffin: Titan moon largely made of LPG, not cheese
Geology 101
'btw, on earth I understand that PG (LPG before its L) is produced from vegetable (cellulose based) matter under great temperature and pressure over a long period of time.
If this is true on Titan,
does it mean that it was as warm as earth once?
If not where did all that LPG come from?'
Methane seems to be almost universal in the objects of the outer solar system. UV light from the Sun cracks the methane into reactive radicals which then recombine into heavier molecules such as propane, butane and so on. The really heavy hydrocarbons are what make the outer moons of the solar system so dark in colour as well as giving Titan its charming 'smoker's cough' colouration.
Grav-mapping satellite fires ion engines
@ Tim
Thanks, I think we're all much more informed now. For sheer clarity that was worthy of a 1970s Open University programme - even if you didn't come equipped with a blackboard, kipper tie and oscilloscope.
Microsoft cries netbook victory against Linux
Switched my Aspire One to Windows
And why?
Because the supplied version of Linux sucked. The update procedure was horrible and many applications had not been updated by Acer in months - even though they contained known security issues. Patching some of them by hand using standard Linux procedures caused other things to break.
Windows XP is a horrible OS, but at least I can keep my machine relatively secure and I'm not spending all my time in the console sudoing away.

Vatican researcher claims Templars worshipped Turin Shroud
Not a relic
The Catholic Church has played a very clever game with the Shroud.
Although it's owned by the Holy See they have never pronounced on its authenticity saying that the Shroud is a matter of personal faith for individual Catholics.
Though I'm sure they clean up nicely in the Turin Cathedral tea and gift shop with shroud tea towels and T-shirts.
Irish Blood Transfusion Service endorses Dracula
'Francis Ford Coppola didn't make a bad hash of it with his fairly faithful cinematic adaptation'
Okay Lester have YOU actually read the book?
FFC's adaptation was the cinematic equivalent of having a cheesegrater run over the eyeball - a movie so staggeringly bad it almost eclipses Keanu Reeves 'English' accent.
But not quite.
But the book - awesome - especially the ship's log.

'Urr, supposedly this had the oomph to reach Alaska. Yes, Alaska, the beating heart of America.'
Sarah Palin country - the missile suddenly seems quite appealing right now doesn't it?
'If this vehicle can put a payload into orbit, it can deliver that same payload to any point on the Earth.'
Not necessarily, to return the payload to Earth you need to include the mass of the retros and the heat shield. Throw those in and you may not have enough useful mass for a warhead.
And on a related note. Thanks to Pakistan, our dear ally in the war on terror, North Korea MAY have the design for a nuclear missile warhead. Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, the brains behind the Pakistani nuclear programme is known to have met up with North Korean scientists and exchanged information. Pakistan certainly has nuclear tipped missiles as they got their design from the Chinese.

@ Fraser
'They are taking on yet another web2 service that has a broken business model and will loose them money left right and centre.'
I think you might have hit on something there. If Google buy enough loss making services they might be able to say they aren't a monopoly - because if they were they'd be rich like Microsoft.
In which case I'd like to talk to the Mountain View boffins about my virtual 'notes to the milkman' Web 2.0 synergetic holistic mashup enterprise. People pay nothing to write notes to a non-existent milkman in 140 characters or fewer, they can follow their favourite milkman and share favourite notes with other milk drinkers. It makes no money, is completely pointless, will be forgotten in six months time; so by Twitter reckoning, must be worth at least a billion. Two billion if we can make it an iPhone app and get Stephen Fry onboard.

By intercepting the content as it streams from the player to the display. HDCP isn't mandatory yet and most pirated content users would be perfectly happy with a slightly degraded copy.
Carbon capture would create fizzy underground oceans
Let's do it
For every proven oil well that's drilled, there are several that will never produce a drop of petroleum. A good number of these end up in brine reservoirs which have been sitting there for millions of years. Pump CO2 down into those then fill the well with concrete and it should remain there for ages. Not only because CO2 dissolves into water, but also because CO2 under high pressure is a liquid at normal temperatures.

@ g e
The North Koreans should have to give details of any object they put into orbit.
In 1998, they even went so far as to tell the world the elements for Kwangmyongsong which was apparently circling the Earth broadcasting toe-tapping melodies such as "Song of General Kim Il Sung" and "Song of General Kim Jong Il" at 27MHz. They insisted it was up there, even though the US couldn't ever track it on radar and listeners on 27MHz were disappointed not to be able to listen in.
It looks like the 1998 launch was one for a space vehicle which went wrong at the last minute and either tipped the satellite into the North Pacific or into a very low orbit from which it decayed within hours.

Wacky Jacqui spanked by husband
Pulitzer winning journalism here
The Telegraph has deployed its formidable resources to determine that Virgin were satisfying the Home Secretary's husband with "Raw Meat 3" and "By Special Request".
Any of the Reg's readers able to tell us more about these epic titles - especially "Raw Meat 3"? Does it achieve the tricky task of being a good third movie in the series - which is hard to pull off [snigger] - Jaws 3D, Rocky 3 and Return of the Jedi all failed to keep the high standards of their predecessors.
Can we work out the titles?
The BBC tantalises us with the news that Virgin's porno pipes delivered the movies on 6 and 8 April 2008 at £5 a time. Is there any hope of narrowing down what sort of filth gets Mr. Home Secretary going?
And surely a Playmobil reconstruction of salient plot points for those of us who don't subscribe to Beardie muck is in order?

Because Apple just have to brand 'iPhone'. Their latest campaign is about the number of apps:

DARPA orders hypersonic Nazi Doodlebug engine
Should go back to the 1950s
I'm a little disappointed in DARPA. This project isn't nearly as bat-shit crazy as we've been led to expect - no cyborgs, no artificial intelligence and precious little danger - where's the fun in that. My benchmark in looney-tunes missiles is Project Pluto from the 1950s which even had a cool acronym - it was to build the SLAM (Supersonic Low-Altitude Missile)
Instead of boring old kerosene, SLAM would have had a NUCLEAR jet - essentially a completely unshielded nuclear reactor that heated and expanded incoming air to generate thrust. It's pure brilliance for anyone with a Strangelovian streak in their personality - it's a sort of Chernobyl with wings!
A SLAM could have remained airborne for months just waiting for Jonny Soviet to get all uppity, whereupon it would have screamed towards the Motherland at supersonic speeds before turning Moscow into hot slag - and it wouldn't even have needed a warhead to be a radiological disaster to remember.
They even built a couple of stationary prototypes, but before this Armageddon to Go was given the green light, the US decided to be slightly less mental and switch to ICBMs.
Come on DARPA, give us something Pluto mad so we can fall in love with you again.

BLOUNT COUNTY (WVLT) -- A new piece of evidence could help police find out what happened to a Blount County teen that hasn't been seen in two months.
Kristen Ann Wyrick, 19, vanished without a trace around December 7th.
A day after the Blount County Sheriff's Department sent out a release asking for help locating her, WVLT reporter Stephen McLamb stumbled upon a new piece of possible evidence while conducting an interview.
Chasidy Gribble is the tenant that now lives in the apartment Kristen last called home.
Gribble showed McLamb everything that Kristen had left in the apartment when she disappeared, including her personal diary.
"I'm worried about her welfare," said Laura Payne Treloar, Kristen's mother. "I don't know if she's dead or alive."
It turns out she is not alone.
Gribble never met Kristen, but she is worried too.
She moved into the apartment this week, but the belongings of the previous tenant were still there.
"We came to clean out this apartment and get her stuff out so we could bring out stuff in, and we found the poem book," said Gribble.
That poem book and pictures she found turned out to be Kristen's, something Chasidy didn't realize until Friday morning.
"It is kind of weird that we moved in here and a couple days later she was on the news about being missing, and then we find these poems of her wanting to cut herself and her boyfriend beating her," Gribble said.
The words in Kristen's diary are what have Chasidy worried, because she said the poems and writings made her feel that Kristen could be in danger.
"From these poems, it don't sound like she would be ok," Gribble said.
Now with a strange connection to Kristen, Chasidy can only worry, like Kristen's mother.
"We'll wait if she's ok," she said, "hopefully she will be found."
The Blount County Sheriff's Department has expressed an interest in the diary.
Gribble's landlord says he now has the diary and they plan to turn it over to detectives.

Noir's legendary freak show. Fans of the understated and uplifting should turn away now. Tyrone Power's first sleazy role, and he loves it.

Time changes make me so groggy :(
I need to walk the dog now, then off to the gym I plan to do intervals today, not the regular class, since am not that super worried about my technique for the test. I have it pretty solid, but I need to work on my conditioning.
I am going to have some breakfast after walking the dog, maybe some mocha or something and fruit.
Woke up a little cranky today, most likely due to the last night's carb loading
I was on the phone with my dad for a while, then went for my jog with the dog.
Now I am supposed to go to spinning class, then come home and finally do some work. I am really praying that it will be a good workout, I really need a kick in the butt these days, because I tend to be a little lazy and my energy level is not good.
I did a small/normal breakfast, then had an orange after the walk/jog just to have some extra energy for my gym workout.
B has jury duty today, poor him!
Normal breakfast
Spinning at 12
Big healthy lunch, plus quesadillas and a salad for snack and lots of crackers
Mood: depressed
1. It isn�t about what you�re doing, it�s about how hard you�re working! Always ask yourself: Am I working as hard as I can be? There�s a guy at the gym who gets on the StairMaster every day, and I can always tell when he gets to the financial section�he slows down. If you�re able to read the paper, you probably aren�t working hard enough. People think, for example, that the elliptical machine isn�t an effective form of cardio, but it can be�anything can be. When you�re on the elliptical machine, the key is to look at your strides per minute, find a strides-per-minute marker that makes you really push yourself (it�ll be different for everyone, but most people should try not to go under 100), and then work to stay within five strides more or less than that for the duration of your workout.
2. Set the bar at 100%. When it comes to your fitness goals, if you say to yourself, �I�m going to aim for an average body,� you�re setting the bar low, so the results may be even lower. Shoot for a �perfect� body, and you�ll be pretty darn happy when you get a pretty rockin� one.
3. When you�re building a house, you have to take the time to step outside of it and look at what you�ve done. It�s important to stop from time to time to acknowledge what an amazing thing you�re doing for yourself and how far you�ve come�however far you�ve come. Don�t wait until you�ve reached your final goal to pat yourself on the back�or to take a break! Everyone deserves one.
4. When it comes to food, don�t always trade down. Constant deprivation is no way to live. Don�t always skip the delicious stuff for raw carrots and brown rice.
5. The scale causes more injuries than any other piece of equipment in the gym. When I opened my gym, I got rid of the scales! Stepping on a scale empowers an inanimate object�every time you get on it, you turn over the helm of your emotional well being to something that doesn�t care about you. Just think about how you feel when you�re working hard and loving your body, and then the numbers on the scale tell you you�ve gained four pounds! Want to know if you�ve gained or lost weight? Put on your favorite pair of jeans.
6. Squats are the king of all exercises. They�re a multijoint compound move that work the biggest muscle group of the body�the gluts. Metabolically, consider squats your BFF.
7. Go to bed. Pick up a copy of Power Sleep, by James Mass, and I swear you�re going to say to everything that�s causing your sleep deprivation, �Screw you, I�m going to bed!�
8. You can�t �blow it� in a week. Even if you�ve had a week of holiday parties and eggnog overload, don�t give up. You don�t have to start from scratch! I once ate a jar (a whole jar!) of peanut butter every night for a month (just to see how it would affect my body), and I gained eight pounds that month. A little weight gain is reversible�just don�t let eight pounds turn into 40!
9. If it ain�t working, fix it. I�ve heard some very overweight people at the gym say, �The treadmill is the best form of cardio, so that�s all I�m going to do.� And for years now, I�ve seen them walking on the treadmill every day, and they are still really big. If you�ve been at something for some time now�an eating plan, a workout�and aren�t seeing results, isn�t that a sign that you should try something different?
10. Use music to motivate you. If I had to pick one song to work out to on repeat, it would be Prince�s �Let�s Go Crazy.�
11. Don�t be a closet eater. A lot of people get into trouble with �closet eating��eating in isolation. If I challenged you to eat everything you wanted to eat�but eat it in front of other people�I could almost guarantee you�d eat less. There�s a level of accountability when you eat with other people. And if you�re home alone, and going to binge, eat in front of the mirror. The response is like seeing a photo of yourself drunk�you might think, �God, I don�t want to be that girl.� The same aversion to seeing yourself gorge might apply.
12. You don�t bulk up from working out, you get big from eating. People ask me if I train women differently so they don�t get big with weight training. No! When I was training Amber Valletta, she was doing pull-ups. Do you think she�s big?
13. Switch it up. If you�re doing the same workout every day, going for the same run, lifting the same weights, your body will know what to expect, and will do as little as it has to do to get you through the workout. Changing your routine forces your body to adapt to the new stimuli. That adaptation will cause a change in your body, and change is what you�re after, right? That�s why I plan a new workout for my clients�like Leah Remini, Bruce Willis and Hugh Jackman�every single day. Plus, mentally they stay more engaged (and don�t dread the workout) when they don�t know what�s coming. But you don�t have to overhaul your workout every single day. If you�re running on the treadmill, add a hill. If you�re running outside, run in a different direction. If you�re strength training, change the number of reps, the order of your workout�or even what kind of music you listen to or the type of fitness clothes you wear.
14. Remember that everything you do in the gym makes a difference in the way you live your life outside of the gym. The brownie tastes better when there�s no guilt for eating it. Your relationships with other people are more satisfying. Even your work in the office is more productive when you know you�ve gotten up in the morning to do something for you.
Today I went to the gym, armed with good intentions,a crisp white towel and a smile. I signed up for my favorite spinning class and headed to the bar to buy a bottle of one of those taurine-packed diet drinks. I have long vowed to quit that $ 2.99 unhealthy habit of mine for a long time, but I realize that I have developed a psychological dependency to the drink, without which I would not be able to make it through the class.
As I approached the bar, I noticed a rather rotund lady munching vigorously on a snack at the small table by the bar. I looked at her with the corner of my eye, as it was impossible not to have one's attention caught by that loud munching. She was staring at me with a sort of angry look, and I saw that she was almost through her bag of Cheetos.
I turned my attention back to the cashier lady who by that time was handing me my drink and my change, and noticed, on the other side of the bar another quite large lady enjoying a vanilla chocolate pudding topped by whipped cream in a small plastic container. Both of those crap foods had clearly been brought in the gym, since the bar does not sell junk.
WTF, I thought, what is the point in going to the gym! I sometimes eat junk foods myself, but when I do, I do it watching tv at night, on my couch with the dog keeping my feet warm.
Not at the gym!
The gym is sacred.
The gym is the temple of my health and wellbeing.
The gym means taking care of myself, working hard, sweating and feeling light like a butterfly after a workout - or heavy as lead, depending on the days, but you got the concept.
I almost found it disrespectful of those ladies to eat junk in a place where people go to try and get healthy and strong.
Fat lady eating Cheetos at my gym: shame on you, you are pathetic, even more pathetic that me with my caffeine addiction. At least work my butt off and do not waste my gym membership money.

FORT WAYNE – The first morning of practice at Bishop D'Arcy Stadium was halted prematurely Monday because of heavy rain, but coach Kevin Donley wasn't about to get irked at that.
You learn all those lessons, dealing with adverse circumstances, Donley said, after his Saint Francis Cougars football team opened training camp.
The Cougars, ranked No. 6 in the NAIA preseason poll released Monday, are used to adversity after last year, when they went 9-3 and reached the quarterfinals of the NAIA playoffs, losing to the University of the Cumberlands, after myriad injuries throughout the season.
Running back Antoin Campbell tore his ACL in the first game of the season, against eventual NAIA national champion Grand View.
Two weeks later, his backup, Garrett Harvey, was lost, too.
The Cougars remained a formidable team offensively – running backs Jason Nicodemus and Aaron Harris stepped up to combine for 651 yards and six touchdowns – while wide receiver Cam Smith had a team-leading 59 catches for 921 yards.
He was an all-conference selection and, this year, he has been picked to the USA College Football NAIA Preseason All-American Team, along with Saint Francis linebacker Keith Harris and cornerback Kory Stamps.
Yeah, we've got the players to be successful this season, Stamps said. We just have to come through as a unit on both side of the ball and learn from last year's mistakes and get better as the season goes on.
On Monday, Donley had the thrill of seeing his full roster out on the field running around as if it hadn't been almost a year.
Kids are uplifting when they come back in to camp, Donley said. It's rejuvenating for all of us. I'm excited about our team. We've got some holes to fill and questions to answer. Like, who will be our quarterback? And, how about the guys recovering from ACL surgeries? But the outlook is exciting here.
Last year was tough not just because of the injuries, but also because of a fatal crash that took place in October, when a car swerved into the Cougars' bus after a game. It took its toll emotionally on some of the players, but time has helped.
As for the Cougars' physical injuries, Donley said he will learn more about his team once the pads go on this week.
Campbell looks good running on air, he said. But we'll probably have a much better idea of where everyone is later in the week.
The competition for the quarterback job is between fifth-year senior Wesley Hunsucker, sophomore Bradley Jarzab and freshman Nick Ferrer.
Hunsucker has played in 20 games, completing 66 of 119 passes for 971 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions.
We'll just see how it shakes up. When you get into the fourth or fifth day, when the pads are on, that's when you really start to get an idea of everything, Donley said.
The Cougars open their season Sept. 4 at Bishop D'Arcy Stadium against Missouri Baptist University.

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority has given Medview Airlines a clean bill of health after conducting a test flight on its aircraft on Sunday.
A statement by Medview said the 30-minute testflight took the aircraft from Lagos to Ibadan and back with the NCCA's inspectors on board.
It stated that the inspectors said the aircraft could resume its normal activities, having found nothing wrong with it.
They also concluded that what was mistaken for smoke, which caused a false fire alarm, could have been thick fog from the aircraft's cooling system.
"The management of the airline commended the timely action of the NCAA in conducting the checks on the aircraft and releasing it for normal flight operations," the statement added.
An Abuja-bound Medview aircraft from Lagos made an air return minutes after its take-off on Saturday, when a passenger raised the alarm of smoke emaciating from the aircraft.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Harrison Ford is recuperating after surgery to heal a broken leg suffered during production on "Star Wars: Episode VII."
The actor's publicist said Thursday that Ford is doing well after surgery and will soon begin rehab. Ford was injured a week ago during filming of the much-anticipated sequel at Pinewood Studios outside of London.
The accident involved a spacecraft door falling on the 71-year-old actor's leg. Ford's Han Solo pilots the Millennium Falcon, which is returning in "Episode VII."
Disney has said that shooting is continuing while Ford recuperates. He's expected to be sidelined up to two months.
Ford is one of several original "Star Wars" stars returning to the J.J. Abrams-directed sequel. He's joined by fellow alums Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Peter Mayhew.

High-Level Plenary on the Almaty Programme of Action
Statement by H.E. Dr. Zahir Tanin
Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to the United Nations
At the High-Level Plenary on the Almaty Programme of Action
H.E President of the General Assembly,
Honorable Ministers,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am pleased to address the High level Meeting of the General Assembly devoted to the Mid-Term Review of the Almaty Programme of Action. I would like to convey my thanks to H.E. Mr. Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, President of the General Assembly, for his efforts to ensure the continuing support of the international community for the land locked countries, commend H.E. Secretary General H.E. Mr. Ban Ki- moon for his strong leadership and focus towards implementation of the Programme and express my appreciation to the High Representative Cheik Diarra and his office for the excellent preparatory work for this meeting.
Since the adoption of the Programme of Action five years ago, many landlocked and transit countries, with the help of their development partners, have achieved certain progress towards realizations of this document. However, due to a variety of impediments facing the landlocked countries, many of them, including Afghanistan, have not been able to use trade as an effective instrument to achieve their development goals.
Among the many areas of progress in Afghanistan, the Government of Afghanistan has:
1. Expanded the role of the private sector in investing in the transport and transit infrastructure. We have established the Afghan National Trade and Transit Facilitation Committee.  In this Committee, public and private representatives deliberate on major trade, transit and transport policies and procedures and together decide on a course of action;
2. Simplified and standardized the documents and forms used at border transactions;
3. Taken steps towards modernization of border crossings by applying automation, purchasing of modern equipment and construction of new facilities;
4. Conducted surveys in 2007 and 2008 with the assistance of UNCTAD to identify transit challenges at the boarders and in cross-border control zones and adopted procedures to address them;
5. Begun negotiation with neighboring countries to address the shared challenges which increase the cost of goods and services to the detriment of traders and consumers. As a result we resolved our long-standing problem with Pakistan of transit/trans-shipment of Afghan fresh products through the Wagah border to India;
In the Almaty priority area of infrastructure development and maintenance, Afghanistan is:
1. Building new roads. During the past seven years, Afghanistan repaired and/or built nearly 7,000 kilometers of existing and new roads, including the ring road and secondary roads. By 2010 we hope to complete the national ring road and connect it to our neighbors in the North, South, West and East;
2. Building new railroads. As part of the Copper Mine Contract with a Chinese Consortium, a railway system that connects Central Asia to South Asia through Afghanistan is planned. Afghanistan is also working on joining the Trans Asia Railway. In addition, the 7th Ministerial Meeting on Transport and Communication of the ECO confirms that the Istanbul- Tehran- Islamabad railway will pass through Afghanistan;
3. Improving our air infrastructure. In the last few years, three private passenger and two Afghan air cargo companies have begun operation in Afghanistan. We have also just completed the construction of the Kabul New International Terminal and the upgrading of its runway. We are also working to renovate and upgrade seven airports in other parts of the country.
4. Improving communications. Communications are repeatedly referred to as one of the big success stories of Afghanistan. In 2002, there were an estimated 38,000 landlines. Today, there are almost 6,000,000 phone subscribers in the country, which includes 4 providers and an investment of nearly $1 billion dollars. By the end of 2009, we will complete the national fiber optic line and connect it to two neighboring countries. The improvement in communication services will allow better tracking information of import and transit cargo and connectivity to the
region and the world;
5. Constructing pipelines and transfer of electric energy. The agreement of transfer of natural gas from Turkmenistan to Pakistan and India through Afghanistan has been finalized. In addition, last month, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan and Pakistan agreed to establish the secretariat of the CASA 1000 project in Kabul to expedite the transfer of over 1300 MW of electric energy from the two Central Asian countries to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
In the Almaty priority area of monitoring and follow-up on agreements, Afghanistan is rejoining conventions such as the TIR Customs Convention to meet standards and accomplish reform of transit and freight sectors, as well as following up with Afghanistan's membership in FIATA (International Federation of Freight Forwarders Association).
Despite these areas of progress, Afghanistan has been facing many challenges in meeting Almaty Programme objectives, notably with the international and regional community. First, while we appreciate the financial support of the international community towards improving our transport and transit infrastructure, a significant portion of the donor pledges has not yet been delivered. Much of this aid is also delivered without full regard for the goals of the Afghan government and the Almaty Programme.
We therefore urge the international community to increase their assistance to Afghanistan in the following Almaty priority areas:
1. Extension of our roads to complete the "missing links" regional network
2. Upgrading of our roads and improving its maintenance capabilities
3. Improving our existing ports and establishing new dry ports, to build railway system and modernize our airports.
These priority areas will enable Afghanistan to meet London Compact benchmarks and achieve the goals set forth by the Afghanistan National Development Strategy.
Second, since 2002, Afghanistan has concluded a significant number of bilateral and tri-lateral agreements with most of our neighbors. Afghanistan has joined most of the major regional organizations and will continue to work towards meeting the Almaty Program objectives on regional cooperation. Unfortunately, only a few of these treaties have been implemented due to lack of political confidence among countries in the region and / or lack of capacity and infrastructure. In short, we have yet to reap the benefit of these agreements.
To move forward, Afghanistan recommends renewed attention on these international and regional partnerships. The Almaty Programme can only be implemented through these partnerships; this spirit is clearly stated in the Declaration. The Almaty Programme calls upon both bilateral and multilateral donors to increase finance and technical assistance to landlocked developing countries. It also contains comprehensive directions for donors and international community to assist the landlocked and transit countries. Moreover, the Programme encourages developing and developed countries to enhance cooperation on the basis of mutual interest.  Any improvement in trade with Afghanistan promises great benefits to partnering countries as well.
Mr. Chairman, regional economic cooperation is becoming an integral part of the globalization strategies of almost all neighboring countries of Afghanistan. As a result, Afghanistan now has a unique opportunity to realize its potential as a "land bridge" country between Central Asia, South Asia and the West Asian region. We are aware of our responsibilities to work with our neighbors towards policies and institutional mechanisms to translate this potential into concrete regional projects. But, we would like to encourage others to work with us with similar pace and the same spirit.
Mr. Chairman,
My delegation carefully reviewed the Draft Outcome Document for the Midterm Review of the Almaty Programme of Action. This document contains important recommendations and strongly appeals to the international community and donors to increase their level of support, particularly Official Development Assistance (ODA), to the landlocked and developing transit countries. It encourages the landlocked and developing transit countries to take a proactive approach towards bilateral and multilateral cooperation. If the recommendations remain only as words and on paper, we might not witness a qualitative change. But, if undertaken in an honest, serious, effective and constructive manner, these recommendations can improve the nature of trade and transit and fully realize the objectives of the Almaty Programme of Action.
Thank you for your attention.
Regional Cooperation (SAARC)
Statement by H.E. Dr. Zahir Tanin Permanent Representative of the
Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to the UN at theSouth Asian Association
for Regional Cooperation (SAARC)
Mr. Chairman,
Ladies and Gentlemen
Regretfully, H.E. Dr. Rangeen Dadfar Spanta, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan, was not able to participate to our meeting today as he had to accompany our President back to Afghanistan.
However, on his behalf, I wish to begin by extending to you our appreciation for convening today's meeting…
Mr. Chairman,
Since its creation SAARC has truly fulfilled its core mandate and provided great services to our people by connecting them through trade and transit facilitation, sharing of know-how as well as transfer of technology. I deeply believe that one of the greatest accomplishments of our organization has been to open new opportunities for least developed member countries to receive capacity building assistance from the members possessing advanced technologies and large pool of highly educated and skilled workforce.
Nevertheless, despite our joint efforts to promote growth and development in our region as well as improving the welfare of our people, our countries are still facing multiple challenges ranging from poverty and hunger to significant gap between the rich and the poor. This reality contradicts the objectives of our organization and requires from us to adopt innovative policies that will benefit the majority of our people particularly the vulnerable one, and to consider practical and rapid ways of its implementation.
Mr. Chairman
In order to further regional cooperation in the interest of prosperity of our people and identify the most suitable response to address common challenges, we need to adopt an integrated and coordinated operational approach that will contribute to evolve our organization from a conceptual to an operational level. This strategy needs to combine the following elements:
 Providing special attention for the adoption of national plans, projects and activities that in addition of ensuring our national interest will benefit our region as well.
 Mobilizing technical resources including our experts that will assess bottlenecks and ways to implement projects.
 Establishing a monitoring framework that will supervise the implementation of our decisions by measuring how much we have improved the lives and welfare of our people, and design our plans accordingly.
 Mobilizing further financial resources and financing of national and regional projects through SAARC development fund, particularly to member states in need of immediate assistance.
Mr. Chairman
Cooperation in the area of transfer of energy is an important component of successful regional cooperation that ensures a "win-win" situation. In this regard, I would like to underline the crucial importance of two regional projects for the security and prosperity of our people, they are:
 CASA 1000 aimed to transfer 1300 MGW electricity energy from Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan to Afghanistan and Pakistan, and
 TAPI – the pipeline aimed to transfer natural gas from Turkmenistan through Afghanistan to Pakistan and India.
I would like to take this opportunity to stress on the nee of our coherent efforts and to encourage the international financial institutions such as ADB and WB to provide the needed funds for the successful implementation of these projects to promote growth and development in our region.
Mr. Chairman
The realization of SAARC decisions and successful regional cooperation can be achieved only through strong political well. Without political well and determination our noble ideas will remain merely as beautiful dreams.
Today, we have to acknowledge that certain bilateral issues exist that are impeding speedy progress and slow down the implementation of our decisions. I would like to underline the need to overcome such differences and make regional cooperation a base for mutual benefit and sincerity that will have a win-win outcome to all parties and everyone will benefit from it.
Before concluding, let me thanks Secretary General for his comprehensive report. I would like to extend my government support and endorse recommendations he seeking the Council of Ministers approval for and in the SG I would like to make the following announcements:
1 – We are considering hosting one or two SAARC gathering during 2009. We will inform member countries on the details through diplomatic channels.
2 – We have begun ratification of the SAARC various instrument. Our cabinet approved the SAARC Charter and the SAARC Food Bank Agreement and submitted them to the parliament for approval. The process of other SAARC documents is well under way.
Thank you Mr. Chairman

0.6% Chance U.S. Will Tear Itself to Bloody Shreds on Nov. 7
Super-statistician Nate Silver once again does the math and concludes, once again, that there is a non-zero percent chance for a doomsday scenario — a.k.a. Electoral College tie — between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney…
[S]uppose there is a deterioration in [President Obama's] polls between now and Nov. 6 — or that the polls have overestimated his standing across the board. And so Mr. Obama wins the states where he has at least an 85 percent chance of victory in the forecast, but no others… If you add up the electoral votes in that case, they come out to Obama 269, Romney 269: an exact Electoral College tie…
Fortunately, such an outcome remains quite unlikely. Of the 25,001 simulations that we ran on Monday, a 269-269 tie came up in 152 model runs, or about 0.6 percent of the time.
0.6% might not seem like much to worry about, but I submit to you this: What if somebody told you there was a 0.6% chance that the dead would rise from their graves and begin feasting on the flesh of the living? Would you not worry about it then?
Now, you may say that a zombie apocalypse is somewhat more dangerous than whatever happens to this country on November 7th if there's an Electoral College tie on the 6th. But I say to you: I can outrun a zombie. I don't know if I can say the same thing about Tucker Carlson. He looks wiry. And he looks like a biter.

Final Position-By-Position Breakdowns: QBs, FBs and RBsPosted by on August 13, 2011 – 7:50 am
This week on the vikings.com Blog, we're breaking down the Vikings roster position-by-position to give fans a comprehensive assessment of the team as the first preseason game – tonight in Tennessee – approaches. We've already looked at the offensive line, defensive line, tight ends, defensive backs and wide receivers and linebackers. Up next: quarterbacks, fullbacks and running backs.
The Vikings decision to trade for Donovan McNabb just before the beginning of training camp gave the team something it hadn't had in two years: the comfort of knowing the identity of the starting QB heading into camp. This was a big deal for the Vikings, especially considering the lockout had significantly derailed first-round pick Christian Ponder and second-year player Joe Webb's chances of learning the offense thoroughly. With McNabb, the Vikings have a 13-year, playoff-tested QB to lead the new offense. McNabb gives the Vikings a chance to win games immediately and he takes pressure off of Ponder and Webb to be thrust into action too early; this will the long-term development of both youngsters.
Barring some unforeseen circumstances (knock on wood), McNabb will be the team's starter this season. Behind McNabb the Vikings have Ponder, Webb and Rhett Bomar. It's common for teams to bring four QBs to camp and once you're in camp you have a chance to earn a spot, but as expected it was Ponder and Webb battling for position on the depth chart. When you select a QB with the 12th overall pick, obviously the eventual plan is for him to play. But Webb has proven himself a capable QB to date. He entered camp as the #2 QB and he's done nothing to lose that standing. Webb will run the second-team offense tonight in Tennessee and it will be fun to see how he plays.
We should certainly not write-off Ponder, though. The fact that Webb has remained the #2 QB behind McNabb is not an indictment on Ponder, rather, it's a credit to Webb. Ponder has looked the part of a first-round QB so far. He carries himself professionally, is respected by his teammates, does not look overwhelmed on the field and has given every indication that he has the stuff to be a starting NFL QB. It's just going to take some time for him to learn this offense and become comfortable in the system. Remember, most rookie QBs have several weeks in their new offense with their new teammates before training camp. Ponder had zero time with his new team before camp and was literally given a trial by fire over the last 13 days.
We move on to the FBs and there were really on two of them in training camp. Second-year player Ryan D'Imperio was atop the depth chart, to no surprise. The Vikings selected D'Imperio with their seventh-round choice in the 2010 NFL Draft and they actually converted him from a college LB to an NFL FB. D'Imperio spent the 2010 season on the Vikings practice squad and perhaps the Vikings decision to not re-sign starting FB Fahu Tahi is an indication that they want to give D'Imperio a look. Helping D'Imperio's cause to make the team is the fact that he's been running with the first-team in a lot of special teams phases.
The second-team FB is a guy that I've actually enjoyed watching in camp and has impressed. His name is Matt Asiata and he's an undrafted rookie free agent out of Utah. This kid is athletic, he can catch the ball out of the backfield and he's got some wiggle to him when he's carrying the football. Ironically, the only part of his game that I would question right now is his lead blocking ability. Obviously that's a FB's main job – lead blocking – so Asiata has something to prove throughout the preseason and the rest of training camp at Winter Park, but I'll continue to keep my eye on him.
It should come as no surprise to you, but the Vikings are going to be fine at RB this year. Adrian Peterson, despite being in a contract year, showed up on time for training camp and he's performed well. I took some criticism for saying it, but he had one of the best practices I have ever seen a couple of Thursdays ago. He started off looking great in pass protection during a blitz drill, picking up E.J. Henderson and allowing McNabb to find Michael Jenkins for a long completion on one play. Then he looked outstanding in 9-on-7, knifing through the line of scrimmage two times in three plays for a long gain; remember, the 9-on-7 drill is designed to create contact and collision, but Peterson went untouched twice. Later toward the end of practice, Peterson made three catches that were far from routine, one where he was sprinting down the right sideline, had to slow down, turn around and leap toward his outside shoulder to haul in the pass. Anyway, I digress…
Toby Gerhart has looked solid as the #2 RB. I know a lot of people like to think of him as a FB, but he is a pure RB and he's a good one, too. He's more of a between-the-tackles runner than Peterson, even though Peterson has a bigger build. Gerhart is a no-nonsense, north-south, down-hill runner who tends to break the first tackle and will rarely be stopped for no gain or less. He's also going to be a great asset for the offense in the four-minute situation, where the Vikings hold a lead and are trying to run out the clock. After trying to stop Peterson all game, defenses are going to have to adjust to trying to stop Gerhart, who will have fresh legs, with the game on the line and the clock working against them.
The #3 RB is a guy who surprised me a bit with how good he looked in camp – Lorenzo Booker. You'll probably remember Booker as the guy who came to the Vikings late last year and looked good on a few kickoff returns. This year, I think you'll remember him as the team's outstanding kickoff returner who was also a nice change-of-pace RB. Booker has some ability in the pass-receiving game and he's got some wiggle to him as well. He's hard to bring down on the first try and I think he's going to be a factor on offense this year. Booker also has a legitimate chance to be the team's primary kickoff returner, especially if the coaching staff decides to use Percy Harvin only sparingly in that role to preserve him for offensive use.
After those three guys, the Vikings have a pair of youngsters in the RB stable - Tristan Davis and Alexander Robinson. Davis has not come out and flashed a bunch, but he's also not been a waste. I'm not sure how long he'll stick around this roster, but it wouldn't surprise me to see a team show interest in him and give him a shot. Alexander, on the other hand, has impressed me. He appears to have great quickness and good speed and we know he knows how to play the position because he was Iowa State's fourth all-time leading rusher. Alexander is also a native of Minneapolis, so it'd be a fun story to have him stick around either on the 53-man roster if the Vikings decide to keep four RBs or even on the practice squad to see if he can develop.

QBs,FBs, and RBs. I hope McNaab shows up and understands how much support Minn gives it`s players. We all embraced Farve, and I believe he took that to heart. McNaab needs to realize, this is not Philly. Philly is tough to please, Wash too. Minn treats its Teams with alot of respect. I could hear how sarcastic he was about fans everywhere he turned. He needs to learn, Minn is very supportive and gets behind it players.

Mike— will you be setting up a blog right before the game begins for fans to chat and scream with each other during the action?

I like the QB's and the running backs. We have depth at both positions. I think these are going to be fun preseason games to watch.

This new rule about kicking-off from the 35 yd. line is the worst rule change ever.

Im excited for the vikings. I just got a concern at the other safety position. I like to see Bigby from the Packers play beside Adulllah. Also, hope Loadholt and Sullivan improve alot and Herrera gets better and ready for Chargers.

Nova, that is a dumb rule– let's make the game less exciting– probably done so less collisions during kickoff returns– might as well get rid of the padding the players wear at some point– not going to be needed. Nude Football League.

Nothing more exciting than a good old touchback!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm guessing the first two series.

If the NFL is smart they will drop the new kick-off rule in 2012. Vikings have talent more than people think. O line is will determine a 8-8 or 10-6 season.

McNabb won't play much tonight…a series or two. Then Webb, then Ponder.

The new kickoff rule will affect different teams in different ways, but overall it takes one of the most exciting plays in football basically out of the game.
By Nicholas on Aug 13, 2011 | Reply
I hope that Ponder shines, and shows that the Vikes didn't necessarily lose out by picking him @ 12, rather than having Jake Locker.
This is assuming that Jake Locker was higher on the board than Ponder was in the first place.
SKOL Vikes!!!!!!!
By Titus on Aug 13, 2011 | Reply
Ponder is smarter than Locker and will be a much better quarterback.
By THE SWEDE on Aug 13, 2011 | Reply
Infractions will be more apparent in the placement of the football on kickoffs! a penalty can cause teams that have lost their concentration on kick offs to possibly get burned.
By Nicholas on Aug 13, 2011 | Reply
I agree Titus, he is much smarter.
I also think overall that Ponder's Intangibles far outshine Jake Locker's.
I'm hopeful that this shows in the immediate and long term future : )

I'd like to know about our RBs pass protection abilities. Has AP gotten better in this regard so he can be considered a well rounded 3-down back? Or can we expect to see one of the other guys step in on obvious passing situations?

Why is webb in front of Ponder??? Webb is not an nfl quarterback…maybe a WR not a QB…..what are they thinking??

Hinata's P.O.V
Me and Naruto layed in bed, Exhausted from the dinner party we had earlier. Naruto yawned while kicking his shoes on the floor.
"Man! Im so tired from dancing.."He yawned again
"Yeah..."I muttered
I thought about what Temari had told me.. I wonder if Naruto knows about the.... 'Do'.
"Naruto... Is this our honey moon?"I wondered
"I dunno... I guess"He said
"Uhh.."I muttered "So... Are we suppose to have sex?"
"Whaaaaa?"Naruto gasped while falling off the bed
"Naruto?"I asked while leaning over and saw him rubbing his head and pouting, Yet his eyes were wide.
"Ow....Anyways. What did you say Hinata?!"Naruto freaked
I tilted my head while thinking.. Jeez... We fall off the bed alot on that exact same side.
"HINATA!"Naruto repeated
"Hmm? Oh... Well. Uhm, Thats what married people do... Right?"I asked
"I guess..."He muttered while climbing back on the bed. I moved out of his way while sighing.
"Forget it.. Nevermind"I told him while rolling over to my side and closing my eyes
A few moments of silence passed. Then, I felt Naruto move closer to me.
"Do you want to..?"Naruto whisperd gently
I turned my head to look at him, His eyes were full with curiousness.
"I dunno... Do you want to?"I asked quietly
"I dunno"He quickly answered
Me and Naruto stared into each others eyes for the longest time. I think we both were too terrified to even breath. Temari said do what ever feels right... Well. I felt like kissing Naruto..... I sloely leaned towards Naruto, Brushing my lips against his, As we continued to carry on our eye contact. I leaned away and slightly smiled. Yeah... That felt right. Me and Naruto didnt break eye contact though. Naruto moved closer to me while gently pushing me onto my back as he leaned over and kissed me. Yet again. We kept starring each other in the eyes. He leaned up and started to unbutton his shirt slowly.
My hands moved up. I dont know why they were moving! I didnt make them move... Though. I didnt care, As I continued to stare Naruto down. I unbuttoned Narutos bottom buttons, Making my way up, As he made his way down. Our hands met. As he placed his hands on each side of me on the bed. I brushed my finguertips along his chest. For so long... I wanted to touch him like this.... For so long..
Naruto's P.O.V
I watched her closely as she tilted her head while brushing her finguer tips along my bare chest, Which sent chills down my spine. Finally, Her eyes met mine again.
She was beautiful tonight.... Ofcourse shes always beautiful... But tonight... Her smiles a little brighter. And her voice... Is a bit softer.. Her touch... A bit gentler.
"Naruto.."She whisperd
Her voice was like a lullaby. I was inchanted with her tone as her pale purple eyes gazed into mine and her bottom lip barely quiverd.
"Yes?"I asked quietly
"Keep touching me.....Please.."She said while looking away and blushing. I took my hand and gently touched her grin, Pulling it my way where her eyes met mine again.
"Ill touch you, If you look at me"I said
"Okay.."She whisperd as I slid my hands up her shirt. Brushing my finguers down each side of her rib bones. She arched her back a bit.. I think that was a tender spot. I grinned as she gazed at me with shy eyes.
I glanced down as she was unbuttoning my pants. I raised an eyebrow at her, Yet she didnt stop. She unbuttoned the button and pulled the zipper down.
I slid each thumb down each side of her shorts, Pulling them off gently. I could tell she wanted to look away from shyness, But. She tried her hardest to keep our gaze.
Hinata's P.O.V
I bit my lip fighting back my screams. I had to scream to make myself feel better, Cause when I get shy. I scream to let the shyness out. But, Instead of screaming. I watched as Naruto stood up and and slid his pants off. I blushed once I saw Naruto's boxers. I wanted to look away, But. I kept our gaze. Naruto threw his pants on the floor. I had never done anything like this before. I was terrified with each move me and Naruto made. But. I enjoyed it as well.
Naruto brushed his finguers down my cheeck while smiling, I blushed.
"Hinata..''He whispered

This is very good news.
The story:
TIJUANA — A Mexican federal district judge in Tijuana on Friday ordered the immediate release of a U.S. Marine veteran being held in Baja California on federal weapons charges.
Andrew Tahmooressi, who was on trial for crossing the border with ammunition and three loaded weapons on March 31, returned to the United States Friday night and flew to his family's home in Florida.
The decision by the Mexican Attorney General's Office to cease its prosecution of Tahmooressi brings to a close a high-profile case that has resounded far beyond the border.
In the United States, it prompted calls for Tahmooressi's release from politicians, veterans groups and conservative talk show hosts. But for months there had been an impasse, as Mexican federal prosecutors insisted that the case be resolved through the courts — not through diplomatic or political pressure.

The coverage of this has been interesting. Only two conservative blogs are covering it. As for the loony left, NPR was surprisingly fair in its coverage; but, as always, the anti-American, Anti-military left covered the story in typical fashion. The loony left is about as bad as the neoconservative right anymore. A very simply and quite idiotic parody of itself.
