OpinionThe shady players in Myanmar's drugs trade Drug exports from Myanmar continue to escalate, as distinctions between the illicit trade and the 'legal' economy blur. 26 Sep 2012 09:12 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Afghanistan, China, Myanmar The only country in the world that produces more opium than Myanmar is Afghanistan [GALLO/GETTY]About the Author Francis Wade Francis Wade is a Thailand-based freelance journalist and analyst covering Myanmar and Southeast Asia. @Francis_Wade Story highlightsWarnings of Myanmar's expanding drugs trade tumble out of the offices of the UN annually, but these days rarely draw a frown. The reports have become a hackneyed reminder that for all the bravado of the government's anti-drugs programme, the problem is as intractable as ever: cultivation of poppies has increased year-on-year since 2007, despite promises from Naypyidaw that it'll eliminate the practice by 2014, while militias operating in the mountainous east continue to pump out millions of methamphetamine pills each year, leading some experts to warn that Myanmar could be the world's largest narcotics state. To date the government has largely rejected accusations that it is lax in its approach to the situation. Last month however a police officer in the drugs control department describedWarnings of Myanmar's expanding drugs trade tumble out of the offices of the UN annually, but these days rarely draw a frown. The reports have become a hackneyed reminder that for all the bravado of the government's anti-drugs programme, the problem is as intractable as ever: cultivation of poppies has increased year-on-year since 2007, despite promises from Naypyidaw that it'll eliminate the practice by 2014, while militias operating in the mountainous east continue to pump out millions of methamphetamine pills each year, leading some experts to warn that Myanmar could be the world's largest narcotics state. To date the government has largely rejected accusations that it is lax in its approach to the situation. Last month however a police officer in the drugs control department described the problem as "very dangerous now" and getting worse, a candid and unusual admission from an official that Myanmar's much-touted "war on drugs" is a spectacular failure. This is something observers have known for a long time. Last year, around 610 tonnes of opium were produced, with only Afghanistan recording a higher output. The amount of acreage used for growing poppies is also on a continual rise - 14 per cent between 2010 and 2011, according to the UN - suggesting that a reinvigorated campaign to rid the country of opium farming has not found its target. But opium is no longer the main problem: production of methamphetamine is so vast that Myanmar is most likely a world leader in a market that neighbouring countries have identified as fuelling one of the great regional crises. The police officer's statement has additional uses, however. Smothered by the international chorus of praise over Myanmar's reform process is the government's role in abetting and profiting from the industry. Despite its claims to the contrary, Naypyidaw has done little to tackle the scourge, and the mutually beneficial relationship the former junta enjoyed with production and trafficking rackets continues into the quasi-democratic era. In November last year, the Thailand-based Shan Drug Watch released a report that named seven MPs in President Thein Sein's administration known to be involved in the drugs industry. One of them, T Hkun Mya, was elected to chair the House Bill Committee in the lower house, but is said in the report to have close dealings with a racket that protects drug shipments passing through Namtu in Shan state. Legislator Kyaw Myint meanwhile had been "notorious among local people as a drug dealer in the Shan State North's Namkham township". Khunsai Jaiyen, an expert on Myanmar's drugs trade, told the Democratic Voice of Burma last year that the MPs had "persuaded locals in their constituencies to vote for them by promising to allow poppy growing". Drug abuse rising in Myanmar Another one not included in the report is Wilson Moe, also a member of the ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), who occupies a seat in the upper house. He is thought to be a key member of a Shan group called the Nampong People's Militia Force, led by Colonel Yishay, who is on Thailand's most wanted list. These militia groups, who were set up by the Myanmar army to assist in their operations against rebel groups, "have become key players in the drug trade, both heroin and ATS [amphetamine-type stimulants]", said Shan Drug Watch in June. "Yet government complicity in the tangled drug problem is being conveniently ignored by the international community as it embraces Burma's new administration." Flourishing drug trade The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has historically been reluctant to draw a link between rising narcotics' production and the role of the government, given that asserting a link would jeopardise its ability to work in the country. There has, however, long been an acknowledgement among experts on the trade that at the very least it could not flourish without government complicity, while others contend that the military junta relied on it as a key economic crutch. Some even believe it was an active participant in the production process. It's a view shared by the US Congressional Research Service (CRS), which said in a 2008 paper [PDF] that trafficking of contraband, including narcotics, "remains a low-risk enterprise, as corruption among officials in Burma's [former] ruling military junta, the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC), appears to facilitate trafficking and effectively provide the criminal underground immunity from law enforcement and judicial action". Warnings such as these would issue frequently from the halls of Washington prior to the US beginning a programme of engagement with the government following the 2010 elections. Now, however, despite Myanmar remaining on the US "watch list" of narco-states, the criticism is muted. Yet with Aung San Suu Kyi successfully lobbying for the removal of sanctions on Myanmar, the US finds itself in a tricky position: while ending the blockade would allow US businesses to enter Myanmar, it would also free up a number of names on Washington's blacklist who are there because of their role in the drugs trade. Southeast Asian nations join forces to fight drug trade This includes the likes of Stephen Law, son of Lo Hsing Han, who respectively manage and chair Asia World, the largest conglomerate in Myanmar, which built Naypyidaw's new airport. Lo Hsing Han is widely believed to have set up Asia World as a front for laundering the millions he earned as one of the region's most notorious heroin kingpins. Former prime minister Khin Nyunt had allowed Lo Hsing Han to continue in the drugs trade, even ensuring he would win lucrative business contracts that would help disguise his earnings, in return for negotiating ceasefires with powerful ethnic groups. Among these was the United Wa State Army (UWSA), one of Southeast Asia's largest drug-producing entities which continues to manufacture methamphetamine and heroin free of pressure from the Myanmar government, helped along by a ruling in the 2008 constitution that allows it complete control over two "self-administered districts" in northeastern Shan state. As well as drug production, the UWSA has more legitimate business interests: Aik Hauk, the son of UWSA founder Bo Yiouxang, owns Yangon Airways, one of only a handful of domestic airlines in Myanmar. The relationship exemplifies how tight the nexus between the black market operators and the "legal" economy is. Kickbacks What then appears to have been forgotten amid the hype surrounding this new era in Myanmar is that many figures in the narcotics industry who once received tacit support from the military regime are alive and well, some enjoying life as MPs while others have become key players in a blossoming business arena. With the prospect of sanctions ending, they could be at the forefront of Myanmar's drive to court western businesses. The government has publicised a reinvigorated anti-opium drive, even inviting journalists along to poppy eradication exercises deep in the hills of Shan state. It also holds annual drug burning ceremonies at which diplomats and UN officials are presented with supposedly hard evidence of Naypyidaw's good intentions. Seizures are also on the increase, with July alone seeing raids that netted 1.4 million methamphetamine pills. But these are a fraction of the total amount produced, and certainly do not all make it to the yearly bonfire - where they go to from the police station is anybody's guess. 101 East - Golden Triangle (Part 1) The reasons behind the government's reluctance to really tackle the trade become clear when one understands the profits it has historically reaped. The CRS estimated in 2008 that "illicit narcotics reportedly generate between $1 billion and $2 billion annually in exports [from Myanmar]". Bertil Lintner, a prominent authority on the regional trade, writes in his book, Merchants of Madness, that "black money is laundered white, playing an important role in the local economies of countries that produce or consume narcotics". Precisely how much of that money goes to entities associated with the Myanmar government is impossible to say, but a diverse cross section of state officials will have benefitted, right from the regional army commanders who levy a tax on opium growers to more senior governmental figures who receive kickbacks from druglords in order that they can operate with impunity. Despite the government's drive to legitimate itself in the eyes of the international community, little seems to have changed. Indeed areas of its reform programme, namely the ceasefires signed between Naypyidaw and various armed groups known to be knee-deep in the industry, could in fact bolster the drug trade. As observers like Joshua Kurlantzick have noted, the peace deals could provide ulterior dividends to these groups, including "longer periods of time in which they can run their [drugs] operations without much government interference". Moreover, the government's anti-opium campaigns in the mid-1990s were perhaps the key driver of the rise of methamphetamine production, given the woeful lack of crop-substitution programmes that are integral to any drug eradication schemes. The police officer's statement last month could be a veiled appeal for more international funding for eradication and substitution, but it should also provide a warning to the UN that it is endemic corruption and complicity, not lack of money, that has ensured Myanmar's continued status as world leader in the drugs industry. Eradication campaigns may be a means to divert attention from the ongoing role of the state, which requires greater urgency now as western countries apparently so aghast at the global scourge from narcotics draw closer to Myanmar.

silly siding question
I'm thinking and planning about residing my house, but we have the electrical lines running along the siding from the second story down to the ground level to the meter. How do I take the lines off temporarily to put the siding on??? Do I just pry off the brackets that are holding the elec. lines? Is that dangerous? Do I need a pro? Can I get the elec. co. turn off the power for a day or so??? Just looking for some advice. Thanks...
The electric company will disconnect the power at the mast and reattach it when your done.

She also revealed that her success so far on the show is such big news in her homeland that Jamaica has brought the rights to air The Voice - and she even got a call from Bob Marley's son, Damian Jr Gong. 'That just blew my mind,' she said.
Cee Lo Green, noting that she was the last singer of the night, said: 'They saved the best for last. You're one of my favorites Tess. You remind me I'm alive - you make me feel things.'
Her coach, Adam Levine, told her: 'You have such a golden soul - your heart is just so humungous. On top of that your talent is just mind boggling.

She said she planned to 'redneck it up' with her performance to Reba McEntire's Fancy.
'As much as I hate to say it, you really make Blake's team strong,' Cee Lo, dressed in black and with dark circles around his eyes, told her. 'I'm a fan of yours.'

'Dude - you can't be a geek and be that awesome,' Blake joked, admitting he had previously 'been on the fence about you'.
Christina admitted he took a risk - but made it work. 'Being simplified can run the risk of being boring, but you made it a safe haven that drew people into what you were doing and made it so heartwarming,' she told him.
His coach told him: 'I'm so proud of you James. You bounced back like I knew you would. It was so elegant - I could not possibly be more proud of you.'

'It was a ton of fun,' Christina told him, while Cee Lo praised him for 'making it a whole new song'.
Meanwhile Adam called it 'bittersweet', admitting: 'I feel like an idiot for letting you go. I shouldn't have done it. You did every single thing that happened in the song and the video - minus the boobs.'

'This is going to be the performance of the night,' Blake predicted, then telling him after the performance: 'You're doing so much for your heart because I know where your heart is musically.'

The time has come today
USC needs a big-time performance against Colorado this weekend
Updated: October 19, 2012, 12:33 PM ET
Greg Katz | WeAreSC.com
Kirby Lee/US PresswirePlaying against a struggling Colorado team, Robert Woods and the Trojans need to put together a dominant performance against the Buffaloes on Saturday.
In 1968, the L.A.-based, soul-rock group The Chambers Brothers had a high-energy, 11-minute hit called "Time Has Come Today." The Trojans should take the field against the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday afternoon with that hard-driving anthem booming out of the Coliseum's sound system.
Thanks to last Sunday's release of the first BCS standings, the Trojans' No. 10 ranking provided much-needed hope when it comes to the national championship picture. With games remaining against BCS-ranked teams such as Oregon (No. 3) and Notre Dame (No. 5), the time has come for the Trojans to stand up and show what they've really got.

Stay at ICL this weekend with my fishing club people were friendly, rooms were clean, location is perfect. I will stay there again and would recommend to anyone that is on a fishing trip or an out in the area.
Stay at ICL this weekend with my fishing club people were friendly, rooms were clean, location is perfect. I will stay there again and would recommend to anyone that is on a fishing trip or an out in the area.
The lodge was very reminiscent of the 1960s, They do not provide a hairdryer I had to go to the office to get one,The bed was very squeeky when you turn over on it( not good for light sleepers)But other than that it was ok. You do hear a little highway noise unless the heater is running! :)
Clean, comfortable, and beautifully appointed. Amazing greenspace & access to Trinity River. Owners are very friendly and helpful. Right on Hwy 299. The Lodge is about 7 miles out of Weaverville, & a mile or so outside of Douglas City. No restaurant or gas station on-site. You need to go into Douglas City or Weaverville. Driving Hwy 299 after dark... More
We're hooked! Perfect spot for our family of 4 to launch our first of hopefully many rafting/fishing trips. Everything was clean, managers friendly and accommodating, able to cook dinners in the lovely kitchen and grill outdoors. Huge grassy area for our young boys to play on along with gorgeous views and nighttime fishing right out our back door. We will... More
Pretty area next to the Trinity River. Great place to stay as home away from home for a steelhead , salmon fishing trip. Limited places for dining 7 miles from Weaverville to get a bite to eat but did notice a couple. Pack snacks for nite times. No specialty coffee close by for those extra shots of espresso. Didn't try... More
Indian Creek Lodge is my choice for trinity river accomodations. I love waking up on the river. I have found several fishing options within walking distance. I have laucnched my boat fron the lodges convenient and private boat ramp. The renovated rooms are clean and the sttaff is friendly and accomodating. After a long fishing day I love to relax... More
I saw this place as we were driving from Redding to Weaverville and thought it looked nice. We actually wanted to stay in Weaverville, but the reviews made all the mid-range places there sound horrible. Not wanting to spend a fortune on a historic hotel room, we ended up at the Indian Creek Lodge. It was a very good choice!... More
We stayed one night in September 2014 as a family of 3. The room was clean and comfortable, the grounds were well-kept and the location was a surprise in terms of the wide open valley and the beautiful clear river bordering the grounds at the back. There was a table-tennis table and somewhere to sit on an upstairs balcony out... More
My friend and I stayed here September 8 & 9 to fish. The Indian Creek Lodge has about a 1/4 mile frontage on the Trinity River, one of the best in California for salmon, steelhead and trout fishing. Located on Highway 299W near Weaverville, this section of California allows you to experience what our state was like before settlers arrived.... More
Just got back from a two-night stay. What a gem of a place. I was in the area for fishing, so location was our main criteria. Couldn't have been more pleased. Owners are very nice people. Staff all seemed happy. The rooms are well maintained and clean. The setting on the Trinity River is a bonus. You can actually fish... More

*** Hello friend. Shelves is now an open source project. You can access the source code at https://github.com/gjtorikian/Shelves***
*** Development is now entirely dependent on open-source contributions. My infinite gratitude to the people who downloaded and supported this app, as well as everyone who offered words of praise or encouragement. It was for you all that I kept this app going for so long. ***
Shelves is an Android application that manages your collection of apparel, board games, books, comics, gadgets, movies, music, software, tools, toys, and video games.
With Shelves, you can add items in a number of ways, such as:
* By scanning barcodes
* From the Internet
* Entering details manually
You can also import and export data from a variety of sources, including Google Books, Google Drive, BoardGameGeeks.com, or Shelfari. There's also full support for software such as Dropbox, Delicious Library, and MediaMan.
Shelves lets you organize your collection by:
* Providing sorting rules on title, price, author, or format (CD, DVD, Vinyl, e.t.c.), and more
* Searching across all available item attributes
* Tagging and filtering your collection
* Allowing for the selection of multiple items
You can loan items to friends in your contact list, or rate items for your personal use. You can also opt to place items in a separate wishlist category.
Additionally, items can be in any language!
THIS APPLICATION IS SUPPORTED BY ADS. YOU CAN BUY THE SHELVES UNLOCKER ON THE MARKET TO REMOVE THEM. Additionally, some features are unavailable, unless the unlocker is purchased.
Thank you to everyone who supports a one-man development team, acting as developer, tester, documentation writer, as well as customer and public relations. I wouldn't do this if it weren't for all of you.
* * *
The following is a list of permissions that Shelves requests, and the reasons for their use. If you're not satisfied with the explanations I have here, by all means, contact me and I'll try to explain them further.
The following permissions deal with sending and receiving your collection to Google Spreadsheets. Google is VERY serious about account security, and as such, Shelves has no idea what your login credentials are. Shelves does NOT ask for your password. In this case, Shelves is only asking the Android/Google system whether or not you've successfully logged in:
* GOOGLE DOCS (Google Docs in this case is not Google's online word processor, but rather the entire Google Docs suite)
This connects Shelves to the Internet, and lets it download all the item information (covers, descriptions, e.t.c.):
These manage how Shelves loans to your contacts, and adds reminders to your Google Calendar:
This permits Shelves to access the cover images and import/export files to the SD card:
This keeps Shelves awake while imports occur. If the device's screen goes dim or falls asleep, the import could fail:
This is necessary for Shelves to store your account preferences when doing an automatic backup (only for Android 2.2 and above):

No manual entry available Even though the description says manual entry is allowed, it isn't an option. I have many old books that are privately published and have to be manually entered. So I just wasted an hour on this app before I realized I can't use it.

Lifesaver I love this app. Its a lil complicated til you get the hang of it but its so awesome you can scan things or search for things and it pulls up all the info! I love it! It has its quirks but its been so much more helpful than any of the other similar apps. I tried tons before I found this one. I unlocked it and don't regret my purchase.
Christopher Downes-Ward
Can't add comics Books, films and games work fine but I can't add comics. I can search for them but when added the are always "null". This is stopping me rating this higher.
Michael Koenig
3.75 stars Use this primarily to keep track of DVDS. Pros: Data base is reliable. Nice look using covers. Cons: No widget. Menu graphics could look better. Takes for ever and multiple attempts to "import" entire contents of a shelf after retrieving backup.

If I could only save one app... I find it indispensable for keeping track of which DVDs I have (which I see is now a couple of thousand, blush!) It is not perfect, and there have been some problems with some updates over the years, but it is still the best purchase I have made on the Play store. Thank you.
Love it Fills my compulsive sorting and recording needs. Very happy with this app and recommend it to everyone.

Pics in library Pictures for movies are very small anyone know why
Where have my images gone? Android 4.1.2 here. Was working well, apart from lack of Australian source. But now I have ads even though I am using the paid version (where did they come from). Also, I have lost all the images associated with my Music and Books collections (they're all blank now). The big question is how do I get them back again without having to re-enter the entire database? The developer has abandoned this and there is no longer anyone to help. UPDATE 1. To fix lost images export your collection to Google Drive. (option can be found in settings). 2. Once export is complete go into settings again and delete the collection you are trying to fix (In my case I use it for my music collection) 3. Then re-import your collection from your Google Drive account. 4. You may find the number of files it says it has imported differs from the count shown. 5. If so go to Google Play Store and uninstall Shelves Locker then uninstall Shelves itself. 6. Then reinstall Shelves and reinstall Shelves Unlocker once again. 7. Reopen Shelves and your images should be back and the count should be correct (worked for me)
Disappointed I expected more from a 4 star, $4 app. I can look past the few bugs I experienced and the poor design / UI if it were a great cataloger. But the data it pulls and the lack of organizational options was a let down. Trying to get my video games organized (NES through to 360) and it just didn't suit my needs.
Best I've found on Android As titled, best home inventory app I've seen for Android. Still not perfect, but then I've never found an app anywhere that does exactly what I want. Many useful features, but run into walls sometimes when it tells me an item can't be found or may already be in my library. Often times with a popular item, do it should be easily found.
Help Please!! I added a movie today & it didn't show up, but when I try t scan it again it says It's already there. I've looked for it & can't find it. I tried to do a scan to find it in Shelves, but the program shuts down & I get the message 'unfortunately shelves has stopped working. Please fix. Also, is it possible to list more then one of the same move or item? If not can you make it possible? Thanks in advance!
Excellent for keeping track of libraries -- painful to backup and restore This app is excellent for storing your libraries of movies, board games, books, etc. The best on the market in fact! The only problem is that if you ever have to factory reset your device, or try and transfer your library to another device, it is horribly painful. You do have the option to export your library however the process of importing is very very slow, requiring an internet connection to re-download movie covers etc. These covers are stored on your device in the shelves folder. Why can't we have a simple backup and restore option? This has been a problem from the beginning. I'm hoping the developer will come back and fix this one last issue. It would then be a 5 star app. What would make it even better would be the ability to sync between devices.
Was great until I had to reset phone to factory After phone reset reinstalled app and tried to import from Google docs app logs in fine downloads file fine but fails to import data. Days import file cannot be found. Wouldn't recommend this app at all especially if you are trying to scan things for insurance purposes like I was.
Sharing This app is invaluable for making sure I don't buy duplicates while upgrading to blu-ray. I use it on my Xperia Play whenever I'm shopping. Just wish it was easier to sync the list between devices so friends could browse my collection on my Nexus 7. If the developer gives me that ability, I'll gladly pay for the unlocker.
Lots of features, good exporting... Does a decent job allowing me to quickly inventory my video games, movies/TV shows, books, & board games. Occasionally some garbage data is returned by the new item scanner or lookup, but it is easy to edit entries so that's not a huge deal. I especially appreciate the ability to easily export my data (except for cover photos) to a spreadsheet application. The " loan" functionality is also a nice plus.
Useless Put on my Nexus 7 first,manually entered some DVD,s. Was ok but very slow. Put on phone this morning to use scanner. Scanner says they may be already on my list when they're not. Now realize the ones on my tablet aren't coming up. Can't use across devices which is what I wanted. Won't purchase as free version no good for me.
Alright Pretty good but needs a way to download cover art after restoring a collection. A dedicated settings section would be nice too.
One very annoying flaw... Love this app for storing my movies and comics, but sometimes when I scan an item it says it finds it, then just stops and never adds it to my collection. I either have to try a different item and come back, or just shut it down and wait a few minutes, or hours, then try again.
Crashes frequently Does not work at all for comics. Each time I try to add a comic book into the inventory, the app crashes. Worked moderately well for books and movies at first but with each Android update, this app crashes more and more frequently. This particular app has not been worth the time I've put into it.
Disappointed Nearly every feature I tried out said I needed the unlocker /full version to use it. How can I figure out if it will work for me this way? Also, it looks like you can't add your own categories and are limited to only 8 tags to filter with- by the way it let me add tags, but then when I used the filter function, it said I hadn't added any. Such a great idea, it's a shame it's not set up better.
lousy and no support my phone died so I had to re-install on new phone. Tried to use Import from Google drive but fails every time, saying it can't find the spreadsheet. It's there. I tried doing it manually and it still will not recognize it's own file. And I PAID for it. WIsh I could get my money back.
Scanning to add does not work :( I llove this app only problem I have is that it doesn't let me scan barcodes - says it already exists. Might have something to do with the region - adding Australia would be good
What's New
* Fix broken images when adding new boardgames (Thanks, James Armes!).

FREDONIA, Ariz. (AP) - A federal judge has upheld a project to thin trees and conduct prescribed burns on about 25,000 acres of the Kaibab National Forest.
The project surrounding Jacob Lake first was proposed in 1998 but has been revised numerous times as environmental groups objected to the size of trees that would be cut. The groups contend the thinning would damage habitat needed by the northern goshawk and remove too much of the forest canopy.
This week's ruling from the U.S. District Court in Phoenix found that the project doesn't violate federal environmental and forest management laws.
Kaibab forest officials says less than 2 percent of the trees slated to be cut are greater than 16 inches in diameter.
The project is expected to begin this year.

Obama Signs Defense Bill Allowing for Indefinite Detention of U.S. Citizens Without Trial
President Barack Obama has signed into law a $662 billion military spending bill that authorizes the government to indefinitely detain American citizens without trial. In a signing statement attached to the bill, Obama said he was signing the bill even though he had "serious reservations" with parts of the bill dealing with detention, interrogation and prosecution of suspected terrorists. Sections of the bill were opposed by key members of the Obama administration including Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, FBI Director Robert Mueller and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Human rights groups assailed Obama for backing down on his initial threat to veto the legislation. Kenneth Roth of Human Rights Watch said, "President Obama will go down in history as the president who enshrined indefinite detention without trial in U.S. law." Chris Anders of the American Civil Liberties Union has also been a vocal critic of the legislation. He recently appeared on Democracy Now!
Chris Anders, American Civil Liberties Union: "This is so broadly written, it would become a permanent feature of United States law, so that 10 years, 20 years down the road, any president could still use this power to have the military pick up people and indefinitely detain them without charge or trial, potentially for years, potentially for life."
Controversial Defense Bill Tightens Sanctions on Iran
The newly approved military spending bill also includes a provision to tighten sanctions on Iran by denying access to the U.S. financial system to any foreign bank that conducts business with the Central Bank of Iran. Last week, Iran threatened to block the Strait of Hormuz, a key Gulf passageway, if new sanctions are enacted. Earlier today, Iran also threatened to take action if an unnamed U.S. aircraft carrier returns to Persian Gulf.
Iowa Holds First 2012 Presidential Caucus
Iowa is holing the first caucus of the 2012 president race today. The caucus officially kick off the campaign for the Republicans to nominate a challenger to President Obama. If recent polls are to be believed, three front-runners have emerged in Iowa: former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, Texas Rep. Ron Paul and former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum. With backing from Christian evangelicals, Santorum has seen a surge in popularity in recent weeks.
Rick Santorum, Republican presidential hopeful: "I believe we're the best person to not just execute that plan and get this country turned around across the board, morally, culturally, economically, fiscally, as well as on our national security, but I think we're the best folks to take on Barack Obama and win this election."
Occupy Supporters in Iowa Stage Actions Against GOP Candidates, Obama
Members of the Occupy movement in Iowa are continuing to stage actions against the Republican candidates and President Obama. On Monday, 12 protesters were arrested after staging a die-in at a Des Moines hotel where the Democratic National Committee is setting up a communications "war room." Eighteen more people were arrested Saturday during a protest against money in politics.
Scores of Occupy Protesters in New York City Arrested Following New Year's Eve Action
Here in New York City, at least 500 Occupy Wall Street demonstrators temporarily reclaimed Zuccotti Park on New Year's Eve. Demonstrators piled barricades in the center of the park that was once home to the protest movement's encampment. In the course of the action, a protester allegedly cut a police officer's hand with a pair of scissors. Protester Zachary Miller was arrested and charged with felony assault. Miller could face up to seven years in prison. The New York City Police Department said 68 people were arrested after the demonstrators took part in a winding march through Lower Manhattan. There were complaints the police interfered the journalists attempting to cover the event, in violation of a memorandum issued from Police Commissioner Ray Kelly over a month ago. A video posted to YouTube shows an officer threatening to confiscate the credentials of New York Times reporter Colin Moynihan after he was shoved by an NYPD captain.
Global Revolution, Occupy Wall Street Live Streaming Source, Evicted from Brooklyn Production Studio
A prominent source for Occupy Wall Street's global outreach and live streaming was reportedly shut down by the New York City Police Department last night. Global Revolution, a website which has broadcast Occupy Wall Street coverage since the movement's inception in September, claims it received an eviction notice at its Brooklyn studios on Monday night. The notice states the production space is "imminently perilous to life," and adds, "Violators of the Commissioner's Vacate Order are subject to arrest."
Iraq PM Declares National Holiday to Commemorate U.S. Troop Withdrawal
Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki declared a national holiday on Saturday to mark the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq nearly nine years after the U.S. invasion.
Nouri al-Maliki, Iraq prime minister: "I announce that on this day, December 31st, which coincides with the complete pullout of all foreign troops from Iraq, is declared a national day. It is Iraq's day. It is a celebratory day for all Iraqis. It is the dawn of a new day witnessed by Mesopotamia, to which everyone has contributed. It is with the effort of all Iraqis and to the benefit of all Iraqis."
Egypt: Mubarak in Court, Accused of "Tyrannical Rule"
Egypt's chief prosecutor has accused ousted leader Hosni Mubarak of imposing a "tyrannical rule" during his nearly 30 years in power. Mubarak is in court this week on charges of killing more than 800 protesters during the uprising last year. On Monday, Mubarak was wheeled into the courthouse on a stretcher.
Egyptian Military Defends Office Raids of Human Rights, Civil Society Groups
The Egyptian military is defending its recent raids of the offices of 17 human rights and civil society groups, including three organizations funded by the U.S. government. A top Egyptian official accused the groups of operating without permission in violation of a Mubarak-era law. Heba Morayef of Human Rights Watch criticized the raids.
Heba Morayef, Human Rights Watch: "I think it's a reflection of where we stand right now in Egypt. There's been a narrowing of political space for critical voices. We saw this early on in the year as the authorities started to crack down on peaceful protests, as they started to arrest and imprison bloggers and then summon journalists on charges of insulting the military, some direct interference with the media. And of course NGOs were always next on the list because they're the ones who have been documenting torture, exposing the abuses, and calling for military accountability."
Nigerian Protesters Demand Shell Clean Up Massive Oil Spill
In news from Africa, a group of Nigerian protesters marched in the Niger Delta on Saturday calling on Royal Dutch Shell to do more to clean up last month's massive oil spill. Thirteen villages in the Niger Delta have already been affected by the spill, the largest in Nigeria in 13 years. Protesters said the spill is killing off fish in the ocean.
Jacob Uka, community chairman: "The pollution is there, the problem is there, so we cannot go to the river. And being as we're based on fishing, there is not any other way we can live with our family. Please and please, in order for peace to reign, let the federal government look into this problem immediately."
Senegal: Music Star Youssou N'dour Announces Plans to Run for President
Senegalese music star Youssou N'dour has announced plans to run against Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade in next month's election. The 85-year-old Wade has ruled Senegal for 11 years.
Islamic Center Targeted in String of Firebombings in Queens
Police in New York City are searching for a man believed to be responsible for targeting three homes, a business and an Islamic community center in and around Queens. On Sunday evening, a security camera captured images of a hooded man throwing a Molotov cocktail at a home that houses a small Hindu temple. The second attack occurred at a prominent Islamic community center where roughly 100 people were worshiping. The third target was a corner store owned by an immigrant from Yemen, and another attack took place at the home of a Christian family. Another bomb was thrown at a home just across the Nassau County border. There were no injuries reported in the attacks.
Federal Authorities Investigate Fire at Florida Abortion Clinic Previously Targeted with Violence
Federal authorities have joined an investigation into a fire at a Florida abortion clinic previously targeted with violence. The FBI, along with Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, are looking into a fire that gutted the American Family Planning clinic in Pensacola, Florida, early Sunday. There were no injuries reported in the incident, though the building was heavily damaged. Formerly known as The Ladies Center and as Community Healthcare Center, the clinic pays off-duty police officers to guard the facility. The clinic was previously bombed in 1984, and 10 years later, a doctor and a volunteer were shot to death as they arrived to the building.
LAPD Arrests German Man in Connection with 53 Arson Fires
Police in Los Angeles have arrested a German man in connection with a wave of 53 arson fires targeting cars and homes. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced the arrest.
Antonio Villaraigosa, Los Angeles mayor: "Around 3 a.m., the sheriff's department detained a 24-year-old man named Harry Burkhart, who has subsequently been charged with one count of arson of an inhabited dwelling and is currently being held without bail. We expect that as the investigation continues, he will face additional charges."
Officials said Harry Burkhart's mother is said to be facing deportation. Burkhart had recently attended an immigration hearing with her at which he reportedly broke into an anti-American tirade.
Iraq War Veteran Suspected in Park Ranger Killing Found Dead After Massive Manhunt
The body of an Iraq War veteran suspected of killing a park ranger in Mount Rainier National Park was found in chest-deep snow Monday. Authorities believe Benjamin Colton Barnes fled to the remote area following a shooting that left four people wounded near Seattle and a separate shooting that resulted in the death of park ranger Margaret Anderson. The shootings led to a massive manhunt. Barnes is believed to have suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and suicidal thoughts.
Seismologists: Fracking Linked to 11 Ohio Earthquakes Since March
Seismologists believe a pair of earthquakes that rocked Ohio recently may have been the result of the controversial natural gas extraction process known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. A 4.0-magnitude earthquake shook the city of Youngstown Saturday, one week after another quake shook a nearly identical location. Both sites are at the bottom of a 9,200-foot-deep disposal well where waste from fracking had been injected under pressure. The quakes were the 10th and 11th to occur near the well since March. Links between fracking sites and earthquakes have also been noted in Texas, Arkansas, Colorado and Oklahoma.
