Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
31 May 2012 17:32 GMT | Africa, US & Canada, Germany, Niger, Nigeria
A German engineer kidnapped in northern Nigeria about five months ago has been killed during a failed rescue attempt, officials have revealed.
Kano state police commissioner Philemon Ibrahim Leha said that the attempted operation to free Edgar Fritz Raupach took place in the early hours of Thursday in the state capital of Kano, but did not immediately provide further details.
A military official told the AP news agency that five people, including a woman, were killed in the operation to free Raupach.
It was unclear whether Raupach was killed before or during the rescue operation.
Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege, reporting from the capital Abuja, said that there have "been no official statement from the Nigerian police over what went down this morning".
"Officials and witnesses have described an hour long battle outside a home in Kano ... security officials say that Edgar was held captive in this house and when they entered the house they found that he had been killed by his captors," she said.
In Berlin, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said the ministry could not currently confirm that the hostage had been killed, and that the ministry's crisis unit and the German embassy in Abuja were working to clarify the situation.
Gunmen kidnapped Raupach in January from Kano, Nigeria's second-largest city, where he worked for Dantata & Sawoe Construction Company.
Police said his abductors had taken him from a construction site.
Italian hostage
Meanwhile, authorities said on Wednesday that an Italian national had been abducted Monday in the western state of Kwara.
Kidnappings are rare in Kwara but the abduction comes as attacks targeting expatriates working in Nigeria's Muslim northern and central regions are reportedly on the rise.
"This kind of kidnapping of expatriates working for engineering or construction firms is becoming more common unfortunately," Ndege said.
Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) had released a statement in March claiming they had Raupach, as well as a video showing him disheveled and asking in German and English for his country to help win his freedom.
The group demanded that German officials release Filiz Gelowicz, a German woman convicted last year of supporting a foreign terrorist network.
Gelowicz's husband was among a group convicted of plotting unsuccessfully to attack US soldiers and citizens in Germany.
German officials subsquently released Gelowicz from prison in late April on probation after she served two-thirds of her sentence.
'Release our brother'
In May, an unsigned advertisement appeared in the Daily Trust, a Nigerian newspaper, showing a photograph of Raupach and messages in Arabic and English calling for him to be released.
"Your sister Uma Saifullah Al-Ansariya (Filiz Gelowicz) is free since two weeks,'' the advertisement read. "When do you release our brother Edgar? His friends are waiting for him.''
It was not clear whether German authorities authorised the message.
AQIM grew out of organisations fighting the Algerian government in the 1990s. The group's real impact in Nigeria is said to be felt with the rise of Boko Haram, an armed Islamist group.
The sect began gun attacks from the backs of motorcycles, but, last year, it started escalating its attacks with a string of suicide bombings targeting churches, government buildings, and the UN headquarters in Abuja.
Security officials and diplomats say Boko Haram has loose links with AQIM and may have received training and some funding from the group.

Photojournalist. Adventurer. Texan.
In a gravel lot on Arc Loop road, four men with nearly a century of firefighting experience among them, stood hunched over in the noon sun, struggling to breathe.
Each had climbed out of a burning building where teams of Central Emergency Services and ConocoPhillips firefighters took turns running inside and searching for bodies during a training drill.
It wasn't the flames, but the heat that finally got to the four men.
When the final evening of dipnet fishing at the mouth of the Kenai River winds to a close each year, the north and south beaches of the Kenai River be left looking as though a large storm moved through — leaving a trail of debris and dead fish behind.
This year, when the last of the fishing was finished, several groups set about removing barbecue pits, broken dipnets, torn waders and trash piles left behind by the vacating visitors.
The trial for two brothers charged with sexual assault that was scheduled to begin next week has been canceled.
At a hearing Wednesday afternoon at the Kenai Courthouse, Superior Court Judge Carl Bauman said he also would likely dismiss the indictments "without prejudice," meaning the district attorney's office could seek new indictments from a Kenai grand jury.
Prosecution and defense attorneys also said they are working on a plea agreement and may have a resolution by next week.
Employees of Soldotna-based Endries Company overturned a crane Wednesday as it attempted to remove a portion of a culvert from a project site on Beaver Loop Road about a quarter mile from the road's intersection with the Kenai Spur Highway.
The crane was still on its side late Wednesday afternoon and a man on-site, Aron Endries, said pictures of the accident were not allowed.
Aron Endries and company owner Peter Endries, later moved a piece of grading equipment in front of the overturned crane.
Anglers looking for something more challenging than the traditional "Kenai Flip" for sockeye, might try for some of the river's rainbow trout and Dolly Varden.
While reports are that both the Kenai and Kasilof river fisheries are slow, if the fly rod isn't working there are still salmon to be had.
Monte Roberts, guide for All Alaska Outdoors, said trout fishing is slow but the fish could be found if anglers know where to go.
Editor's note: This story has been corrected to reflect the marital status of Ashley Nelund and Dylan Rink. Nelund's attorney stated in court that Rink was her husband, he has since denied the statement. In addition, Rink did not file for divorce from Nelund, he filed for custody of the children.
A woman facing multiple assault and drug-related charges, was denied a bail motion Tuesday that would have put her on an electronic monitoring system and placed her in a Sterling home with her two children and a man who filed for custody of her children in March.
A joint Kenai and Soldotna chamber luncheon was awash in marijuana slang and fresh-baked brownies Tuesday as the merits of a ballot measure to legalize the substance in Alaska were debated.
About 30 people gathered to hear Taylor Bickford, a representative from the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol and Tom Tougas, of Big Marijuana. Big Mistake, discuss Ballot Measure 2, which will allow voters to decide in November whether Alaska should become the latest state to legalize marijuana.
Silas Hamilton, 3, Gus Miller, 9, and Michael Greist Beltz, 7, clustered around a group of toy cars and with the single-minded determination of professionals, raced them down a flexible orange temporary track stretching out of a booth near the entrance to the Soldonta Little League Fields. The boys seemed oblivious to the bevy of chainsaws running less than 100 feet away as several Sawfest artists filled the air with woodchips and sawdust carving huge hunks of wood into art set to be auctioned off during the last day of Soldotna's 55th annual Progress Days celebrations.

Canadian business optimism weakened, Bank of Canada finds
Canadian business optimism softened during spring period, central bank survey shows.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Canadian business optimism about future sales and investment weakened during the spring, a closely watched Bank of Canada survey found.
The results of the bank's Business Outlook Survey released Monday weren't surprising, given the level of market uncertainty during the survey period, economists said.
Still, the findings dampened hopes for a business-led boost to Canada's economic performance.
"Softening business sentiment supports our view that Canada's economy will underperform its potential 2 per cent growth pace over the second half of this year," economist David Madani at research firm Capital Economics wrote in a note to clients.
The survey for Summer 2013 found the balance of opinion on future sales had declined to 9 from 24 in the previous quarter.
The figure is derived by subtracting the percentage of firms that expect sales to decline from the percentage that expect sales to improve.
In the latest survey, 42 per cent said they expected sales over the next 12 months to improve while 33 per cent said they expected them to decline.
The balance of opinion on future spending on machinery and equipment also weakened to 9 in the spring from 12 in the previous quarter.
At the same time, expectations about future employment levels rose slightly to 35 from 32, the survey found.
Business expects the rate of inflation to remain well within the central bank's target 1 to 3 per cent range, the survey also found.
The findings show "that uncertainty regarding the nature and timing of a notable improvement in growth prospects is bearing on firms' expectations and investment decisions," the bank report concluded.
Firms "do not foresee a marked change in the pace of their sales growth over the next 12 months" and plan to take a "targeted approach to increases in investment over the near term" often citing plans to use modest hiring to meet any additional operation needs, the report also noted.
The survey is the last major piece of data to be released before the Bank of Canada holds its next rate-setting meeting on July 17. The bank's benchmark interest rate, which has been at 1 per cent since September 2010, is expected to remain unchanged.
The meeting will be the first under new Bank governor Stephen Poloz, who replaced Mark Carney last month.
Poloz has said rebuilding business confidence is critical to the country's economic performance.
Consumer and government spending drove most of Canada's recovery after the recession of 2008-09, while business investment remained constrained by economic uncertainty in the U.S. and Europe.
The business outlook survey suggest Canada's real economic growth this year will be lower than the annualized 2.5 per cent rate seen in the first quarter, as business investment "is waiting to ride on the coattails of improving U.S. and global economies," BMO Capital Markets economist Benjamin Reitzes wrote in a note to clients.
While the U.S. economy has started to pick up, Reitzes noted, the survey was compiled in late May and early June, during a rocky period on financial markets on fears the U.S. Federal Reserve would begin tapering its massive bond-buying program and an emerging credit crunch in China.
"We continue to expect that interest rates will remain anchored to their current level until the end of 2014," economist Jonathan Bendiner at TD Economics wrote in a note to clients.

"Oregon city builds safety net"
Two competing technology companies that develop IP-based, ad hoc peer-to-peer communications networks are widening their respective business partnerships.
Through their sales force and reseller network, Motorola Inc. officials will help distribute MeshNetworks Inc. product line, while competitor PacketHop Inc. is partnering with Nortel Networks Ltd. to co-market their combined mobile solutions.
Maitland, Fla.-based MeshNetworks products will be offered as part of Motorola's advanced wireless broadband data portfolio for enterprise, utility and public safety markets.
MeshNetworks developed a self-forming, self-healing mobile broadband networking product that includes four components: a client modem, which is either a PC card or vehicle-mounted modem; wireless routers; intelligence access points; and network management software.
PacketHop, headquartered in Belmont, Calif., and Nortel will also target the public safety market.
PacketHop provides client software that can be loaded onto any standard IP radio-equipped device, whether it's a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant or a Tablet PC. The devices are able to communicate with one another using several applications, such as multicast video, mapping, messaging and whiteboarding. Company officials also announced they have secured $10 million in financing
MeshNetworks and PacketHop have similar roots in battlefield communication projects conducted by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
DARPA officials were looking for ways that soldiers could talk with one another if the existing communications infrastructure was destroyed or unavailable. The technology, also referred to as mesh networking, allows each radio or device to serve as a receiver and a router.
Founded in March 2000, MeshNetworks' system is being used by a handful of municipal police and fire departments across the country. PacketHop, which was founded in January 2003, conducted a test with emergency response agencies in the San Francisco area and plans to announce customers early next year.

Poe Mack - 4 out of 5
Artist: Poe Mack
Featuring: Case Jones
Producer: Knick Gee
Album: Mackstrumental the Mixtape Vol. 1
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 9 votes )
4 out of 5 emcees agree: Poe Mack and his posse ain't nothin' to f**k with. And the fifth? Let's just say he's a statistic, in more ways than one. On the lead single off the Virginian rhymesayer's forthcoming label compilation, his first feature since January debut No Lames, Mack links up with a few of his Mackstrumental signees to show potential rivals just how tightly the fam sticks together. Knick G's slow-rolling rhythm section and dusty samples back aggressive bars from Mack, the Crafsmen, Chris Magnetic and Case Jones. Feeling it? You can find more fresh material from the whole MR roster on Mackstrumental the Mixtape Vol. 1, released Februray 22, and out now onlnie.

'Determined' Bruins even series
The Bruins appeared big and bad once again, outmuscling the Red Wings early and getting to the net often during a 4-1 win Sunday that evened the first-round Eastern Conference playoff series at a game apiece.
The Bruins scored twice during a three-minute span in the first period, then further deflated the Red Wings with goals late in the second and early in the third while storming back from a shutout loss in the series opener Friday.
"It's been a strength for us throughout the season," said winger Milan Lucic, whose goal with 3:44 left in the second period gave Boston a 3-1 lead. "It's not always going to be pretty. It's going to be those goals when you have to chip away and get that second or third shot."
The series moves to Detroit for Game 3 on Tuesday.
Forward Justin Florek got Boston rolling with a goal on the Bruins' first shot of the game 7:38 into the first period when Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard's clearing attempt bounced off a teammate and right to the Boston winger. Smith made it 2-0 on a power-play goal with 9:25 left in the first and the Bruins never let up.
Detroit's frustration built after the first two goals and led to numerous scrums after the whistle. The first period ended with a pileup behind the Boston net and a shoving match between Brendan Smith and Chara that nearly escalated into a fight. Smith, about seven inches shorter and 50 pounds lighter than the Boston captain, continued challenging Chara as he laughed before having enough and throwing down his stick as a linesman charged in and broke it up.NOTES: Boston F Jarome Iginla had two assists. ... Boston forwards Justin Florek, Reilly Smith and Luke Glendenning scored the first three goals of the game two nights after making their playoff debut. ... Detroit D Brendan Smith, Reilly's brother, unintentionally had a hand in the first goal of the game when Howard's clearing attempt bounced off his calf and right to Florek.

Top of the line: Dickinson High is relying on senior dominate offensive, defensive linemen
The unsung heroes on every football team are the offensive and defensive linemen.
However, ask a running back about racking a ton of yards or a linebacker about pulling down the opposing quarterback for a key sack.
Nearly 10 out of 10 times, the specialty players give credit to the offensive and defensive line.

The beaches of El Cortecito and Bávaro merge into each other along the coast. El Cortecito is the only site along the Coconut Coast that is home to an authentic fishing village. However its position wedged between hotel resorts means that it is very touristy. After sunset, the village empties slightly and the atmosphere becomes more local.

Navy families adapt, stay strong when duty pulls them apart
Ron C. Lawson
Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class Kyle Griffin and his wife Leah Griffin, hold their infant son, Luke, born Dec. 3. Kyle Griffin didn't go with the USS Abraham Lincoln when it left Everett on Wednesday, but was to fly to San Diego this weekend to catch up with the carrier before its deployment.
Luke Griffin came into this world nine days ago at 21 inches long, weighing 7 pounds, 10 ounces.
Together, all those dimensions seem as disparate as can be. They're not.
They are intertwined, just as the lives of thousands of individuals -- wives, parents, siblings, children and friends -- are affected by the huge ship and their loved ones' Navy duties.
Luke's 23-year-old father, Petty Officer 2nd Class Kyle Griffin, left his Bothell home this weekend to fly to San Diego. He's part of a group of sailors who stayed in Everett to finish some work before joining the ship. He'll join the rest of the Lincoln's crew as they leave for a six-month deployment.
On Wednesday, the Lincoln left Naval Station Everett, its home for 15 years. The carrier won't return here, and will have a new homeport at Newport News, Va.
Before the Lincoln pulled away, its commander, Capt. John Alexander, called Wednesday a "historic day and a bittersweet day." Snohomish County can look forward to the expected March arrival of the USS Nimitz, the Lincoln's replacement.
Looking at the big picture -- and through the years we have seen so many memorable pictures of the carrier we called our own -- let's not forget the smallest people who sacrifice while their parents serve.
Luke Griffin, born Dec. 3 at Kirkland's Evergreen Hospital Medical Center, is too young to speak for himself. Someday he'll tell the story of how, just days after he was born, his father left for duty aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln.
On Friday, when I called the couple's house, Kyle Griffin was holding his crying little son while new mom Leah Griffin took a quick shower. Luke is their first child, and Leah, 24, is now learning to care for an infant on her own. After a maternity leave, she'll return to work part-time as a nurse at Evergreen Hospital.
"He had one week's being a dad, and now he'll be gone six months," Leah Griffin said.
The couple, who married in 2009, have been through another deployment. Kyle Griffin, whose Navy job is information technology support, spent half of 2010 at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
"It was hard. I had just started my job and didn't know anybody. You get into a routine -- working, working, working," Leah Griffin said. "I don't have any family living up here, but I now have really good support from my church, Bethany Christian Assembly in Everett."
Her husband has been in the Navy five and a half years, and is taking college courses online. His goals are to earn a degree in computer science and apply for an officers program. Now attached to the Lincoln, he isn't sure where his next orders will take him.
"You never know what's around the corner," Kyle Griffin said. "We bought a house here. For now, this is home -- until they tell me otherwise."
The young family's sacrifices hit home with me this month. Just a day before Luke Griffin was born, my daughter gave birth to my first grandchild. Her husband is home in Seattle as together they learn what it means to be parents.
I watched that big ship pull away from its Everett pier Wednesday. It was a big day, and a big story.
It took talking with a brand new mother and father to remind me that it's also a story of young families coping with upheaval and spending months apart.
"People have kids. They've got to leave their families. That's the way it is," Kyle Griffin said. "We all know what we signed up for."

Given LA is a hole I decided to head down the coast to San Diego for my last 30hours in the country.. Arrived at 9am on the 26th and caught the tram/bus to best Western seven stars (my hotel) and left my luggage. Got on another bus to get me to balboa park. Walked through some of balboa park to the famous San Diego zoo. You know it's a good zoo when: They don't have statue alligators. Their Alligators actually moved. While ...

The last time we were here, this was a building of about 6 stories tall that housed hundreds of individual merchants. There really wasn't anything that separated one stall from the next. It was a very fun place to shop and get great prices -- mostly for brand name knock-offs.

The lone nut spent the better part of a half hour dancing by his lonesome. Poor guy. He was not a lunatic, and I was out to prove it.

Product description
* Dirty money, tax havens and the offshore system describe the ugliest and most secretive chapter in the history of global economic affairs. * Tax havens have declared war on honest, law-abiding people around the world. * Wealthy individuals hold over ten trillion dollars offshore. * Tax havens are the most important single reason why poor people and poor countries stay poor. * Britain and the United States are the world's two most important tax havens. * Tax havens now lie at the very heart of the global economy. Over half of world trade, and most international lending, is processed through them. * Tax havens have been instrumental in nearly every major economic event, in every big financial scandal, and in every financial crisis since the 1970s, including the latest global economic crisis. Treasure Islands shows how this happens and reveals what the economics text books will not tell you.

Spectacularly tall, the giraffe has a very long neck with a short, upstanding mane, and high shoulders that slope steeply to the hindquarters. The legs are also long. The giraffe's neck is made up of the same number of neck bones (vertebrae) as most mammals, including humans, but they are much larger and linked by ball and socket joints for improved flexibility (4). The specific name of the giraffe comes from the Latin 'camelopardalis', meaning 'camel marked like a leopard', owing to their buff background with brown blotches, which helps to camouflage them in the dappled light and shade patterns created by the trees they feed on (5). The various subspecies of giraffe differ slightly in colouration and patterning. The reticulated giraffe of northeastern Kenya (Giraffa camelopardalis reticulata) has large, chestnut-coloured patches outlined by thin white lines. Rothschild's giraffe of western Kenya and eastern Uganda (Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi) has broader dividing white lines than the reticulated giraffe, and no spotting beneath the knees. The Masai giraffe of Tanzania and southern Kenya (Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi) has irregular star-shaped light to dark brown spots. Giraffes have two horn-like structures about 13 cm long made of skin-covered bone; they are thin and tufted in females and thick and bald on top in males, as a result of wearing during fights with other males (3). Males can develop calcium depositions on their heads in addition to their horns as they age. These help to deliver heavier blows during fights with other males (3).

The Escobal deposit is an intermediate-sulfidation silver-gold-lead-zinc vein deposit hosted in Tertiary andesite and volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks. Continuous precious- and base-metal mineralization extends over wide (10m to locally 50m) zones defined over 2,400m laterally and 1,200m vertically. As of January 23, 2014, Measured and Indicated resources for the Escobal deposit totaled 434 million silver ounces at an average grade of 346 grams per tonne (g/t), with significant quantities of lead, zinc and gold.
Tahoe Resources Inc. is mining the Escobal deposit by underground longhole stoping methods with processing by differential flotation to produce precious metal-rich lead and zinc concentrates for sale to international smelter customers. The Escobal mine commenced production in the fourth quarter of 2013 and reached commercial production in January 2014. Through the end of June 2014, the Escobal mine produced 12 million ounces of silver, 7,600 ounces of gold, 6,600 tonnes of lead and 7,300 tonnes of zinc in lead and zinc concentrates from mill feed averaging 581 g/t silver, 0.47 g/t gold, 1.0 percent lead and 1.4 percent zinc. The mine is currently operating at the initial design rate of 3,500 tonnes per day (tpd) and preparing to increase the production rate to 4,500 tpd. Proven and Probable mineral reserves as of July 1, 2014 for the Escobal mine total 31.4 million tonnes at an average silver grade of 347 g/t, containing 350.5 million silver ounces in the life of mine plan.
The November 2014 Feasibility Study authored by M3 Engineering & Technology Corp. forecasts a 20-year mine life with annual production of 19.1 million silver ounces and 22.4 million silver-equivalent ounces over the first 10 years of the mine life at a total cash cost of about $7.20 per silver ounce (net of byproducts). After tax net present value of the Escobal mine at a 5 percent discount rate is $1.52 billion at metal prices of $18.00/oz silver, $1, 300.00/oz gold, $0.95/lb lead and $0.90/lb zinc.
Escobal Feasibility Study (.ZIP)
About the Region
Escobal is approximately 3 km from San Rafael las Flores, a town of approximately 3,000 people and approximately 70 km southeast of Guatemala City by paved road. Access to the area also is possible from the northeast on a paved highway via the town of Mataquescuintla. The local climate consists of two major seasons; a rainy season between May and November and a dry season between November and May. Mining activities are expected to be conducted year-round.
The project area lies within mountainous terrain interspersed with rolling hills and valleys. Elevations range from 1,300 m in the valley on the west end of the Escobal Vein to 1,800 m in the drilled east extension. The high mountain range of Montaña Soledad Grande north and east of Escobal rises to an elevation of 2,600 m.
Vegetation is characterized by natural mountain forest species that consist of oak, pine and cypress varieties and lower strata scrub brush species. Agricultural products in the area include corn and beans for local consumption and commercial production of onions, tomatoes and coffee.
