Creative Labs Annihilator Pro Review
System Configuration
This page contains an overview of the system configuration used in conducting the benchmarks in this review and notes on interpreting the results.
OK, so I only have a "measly" Pentium 2-450MHz, but with all these great video cards appearing during the past year, I haven't felt the need to upgrade to a faster processor...yet.
System Configuration
The Diamond Viper V550 (TNT) benchmark results are based on the following set of drivers:
Note: The Quake 2 and Kingpin benchmark results from the Viper V550 at 1600x1200 in 32-bit color are estimates as they failed to run. The estimates are based on the their corresponding 16-bit results, which ran correctly, plus factoring the performance loss of running in 32-bit color. In other words, it's a SWAG.
The GeForce 256 is actually a Creative Labs Annihilator which was furnished by NVIDIA. I am referring to it as the GeForce SDR in this review.
Operating System and Drivers
Benchmark Programs
VSYNC and sound were disabled for all benchmarks except for 3D WinMark 2000 where VSYNC was enabled. Specific benchmark configurations and settings appear on the benchmark result pages.
Interpreting Results
Benchmark results are presented with bar charts. Unless otherwise stated, the X axis indicates frames per second and the Y axis is the resolution the benchmark was run in.
All benchmarks include results from the Annihilator Pro and GeForce SDR. Some benchmarks also contain results from the TNT and TNT2 Ultra.

nvsound and quake3 sound stutter
ok.. I've searched all over and have made some headway but now the sound is very slow. I went from no sound to alsa sound but not nvidia, to pure nvidia sound, to nvidia with oss enabled. The sound is running slow or locking up in speed demos.
I'm using Quake 3 as a test. I have Suse 9.1, amd 3200 64bit processor and an nforce 3 chipset.
I have downloaded and installed the lated nforce drivers. The networking works great and the sound works in KDE, XMMS, but not games like Quake 3.
I'm afraid to install any other games like UT2004 because the nvsound module seems to be the problem.
Is there a fix?

Microbiology is a fundamental biological science concerned with bacteria, viruses and other microbes. Some of the most important scientific discoveries have been made by microbiologists. Since 1910, approximately one-third of the Nobel Prizes in medicine and physiology have been awarded to microbiologists. The discipline covers a wide spectrum of specialized interest areas that show how microbes affect human and animal health, our environment, food technology and safety, and the biotechnology industry. Microbiology prepares students for a wide range of important career opportunities.
The Program
In recent years, the field of microbiology has had a major impact upon virtually all other scientific disciplines. For this reason, students who choose to major in microbiology often minor in biotechnology, chemistry or food safety. Students who choose to major in other fields may find it advantageous to minor in microbiology.
Career Opportunities
A career in microbiology offers many opportunities. The microbiology major is an excellent preparation for professional school (such as veterinary and human medicine) and graduate school, due to its emphasis on the pathogenesis of infectious disease, molecular biology, sterile techniques and laboratory skills. Graduates also may seek employment in the health sciences, biomedical industries, biotechnology, agricultural biosystems, food industries, pharmaceutical industries and government agencies. In these careers, graduates may identify new emerging diseases; develop diagnostic tests, new medicines and vaccines; work in departments of public health or hospital laboratories to insure a safe food supply; or work in academic or private research laboratories. Microbiologists work in government agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and the Environmental Protection Agency. Many microbiologists are teachers and professors.
The Faculty and Facilities
The teaching faculty offers expertise and experience in nearly all areas of microbiology. Additionally, faculty are active researchers and devoted research mentors. Our undergraduates frequently have opportunities to perform cutting edge research in nationally-funded laboratories.
The Department of Veterinary and Microbiological Sciences is located in Van Es Hall. The modern teaching and research laboratories are especially spacious, well-equipped and pleasant.
High School Preparation
Students will find courses in science and mathematics, such as algebra, biology, physics and chemistry, to be very helpful in preparing for a major in microbiology.
The Curriculum
During the first year, students in microbiology take basic college courses in English, chemistry, biology or zoology and mathematics. The curriculum over the next three years includes advanced courses in microbiology and the life sciences. These courses include pathogenic microbiology, virology, immunology, parasitology, microbial genetics, food microbiology, microbial ecology and bacterial physiology. The department also offers courses in epidemiology, animal disease, and food safety to enhance our students' understanding of applied microbiology and infectious disease.
Qualified upperclass students majoring in microbiology may pursue individualized study and research under the supervision of one of the faculty members.

Renishaw's latest calibration product news, case stories and technical articles, allowing manufacturing industry to control machine performance and achieve substantial cost savings.
Ballbar testing is nothing new to those who use fleets of machine tools, including people like Wayne Ross and Jacob Hebbeler of Silfex Inc based at Eaton, Ohio. Both have used ballbar analysis to maintain and enhance the accuracy of the plant's 50+ machines for more than a decade. But, it turns out that experienced ballbar users can still learn a few new tricks that can be transformational to a business.
Renishaw's laser calibration offering has been significantly enhanced with the release of 'XCal-View' software, an all new laser data analysis package for use with data captured from the highly successful XL-80 and ML10 laser calibration systems and XR20-W rotary axis calibrator.
For companies operating in the oil and gas equipment-manufacturing sector, recordkeeping and traceability are vital. As part of its company-wide quality protocol, FMC Technologies in Dunfermline, Scotland invests continually in a preventive maintenance programme that employs Renishaw machine tool probes and calibration products to check and verify the dimensional accuracy of its CNC machine tools.
Renishaw has further extended its solutions for checking the alignment and positioning performance of machine tool rotary axes with the launch of new off axis rotary software for its XR20-W rotary axis calibrator.
The Renishaw QC20-W ballbar system is widely recognised as a preventative maintenance tool for new and installed machines. Aquasub Engineering (Coimbatore, India), part of the Aqua Group, one of the largest pump manufacturing companies in Asia, is using QC20-W ballbar to reduce maintenance costs, increase capacity and reduce scrappage.
Renishaw's XR20-W rotary axis calibrator has proven to be a hit with customers since its launch in November 2011. Recognising the change in user requirements since the original RX10 was designed almost 20 years ago the new product promised easier set-up and use in a smaller and more compact package.
Spirax Sarco UK invested in a Renishaw QC20-W wireless ballbar to check the geometry of its high-end machining centres before and after they were transferred to a new, purpose-built facility. Spirax Sarco is the global leader in manufacturing high quality products for the control and efficient use of steam and industrial fluids.
Nemcomed, a medical device manufacturer, is showing how the latest Renishaw QC20-W wireless ballbar technology makes a big difference in doing fast capability checks on small machines, as well as establishing a benchmark on machines' volumetric accuracy.
The Renishaw XR20-W is the successor to the well established RX10 rotary axis calibrator which has been making high accuracy, high repeatability rotary axis performance assessment a possibility for over 15 years. The XR20-W is a completely new design that offers increased flexibility, ease-of-use and speed, plus the benefits of fully wireless operation.
Upgraded machine tool performance monitoring device receives worldwide acclaim. Launched in November 2009, Renishaw's QC20-W telescoping ballbar which incorporates Bluetooth® wireless technology has had a significant impact on CNC machine testing around the world. Many customers have found that that the new QC20-W ballbar offers significant advantages over Renishaw's QC10 product, which was for many years the industry standard test for machine tool performance.
Dave Wigmore, a former time-served engineer at Mazak, runs a CNC maintenance company and considers a ballbar critical to operations. When Renishaw introduced the QC20-W telescoping ballbar system he was determined to the first UK user.
Haas, one of the world's leading machine tool manufacturers, has boosted its Haas Technical Education Centre (HTEC) programme in the USA, with the opening of a dedicated HTEC teacher training centre at Vincennes University (VU), Indiana. To support the new facility, Renishaw, a long-term HTEC industrial partner, has donated a QC20-W wireless ballbar, which will be used to help train users of the new centre in the importance of regular machine tool performance testing.
Ballbar 20 (V5.09.04) is the current software shipped with all Renishaw's QC20-W ballbar kits, allowing fast machine tool performance testing and analysis. This latest version has been enhanced to give even greater flexibility for testing and reporting and is available free of charge to existing users of the QC20-W and QC10 ballbars.
NC Service, a Swedish machine tool calibration and maintenance company, who work with key CNC machine users, was one of the first users worldwide to take delivery of Renishaw's QC20-W ballbar. The new design eliminates issues with the previous QC10 when used on large machines or where its data cable had to be fed through machine guarding.
Renishaw has extended its market leading range of machine tool testing and calibration systems, with AxiSet™ Check-Up, a new cost-effective solution for checking the alignment and positioning performance of rotary axes. In just a few minutes, users of five-axis machining centres and multi-tasking mill-turn machines can now identify and report on poor machine alignments and geometry that can cause extended process setting times, as well as non-conforming parts.

Ukraine rebels parade prisoners
Posted: August 25, 2014 at 3:46 a.m.
DONETSK, Ukraine -- On a day when Ukrainians celebrated their independence from the Soviet Union with parades and speeches, pro-Russia separatists in the eastern part of the country staged a grim counter-spectacle -- a parade that mocked the national army and celebrated the death and imprisonment of its soldiers.

'Modern work spaces can be constructed or redesigned – this next project is part of the latter- a former machinery shed was redesigned to suit a modern office lifestyle. Named the Black Box, this black glass-covered volume was completed in February 2012. As a result of a fruitful collaboration between Tina Tziallas Architecture Studio and Factor Design, the Black Box in Wildes Meadow, Australia, was created for a software design studio. High-performance tilt doors open to reveal a powerful connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.'

Military-grade scopes and apps for iPhone and iPad boast geotagging and nightvision
Special Operations Apps has announced a new lineup of gun accessories and iOS software that allow soldiers to use iPhones and iPads as heads-up displays, complete with nightvision, target information, infra-red, laser range finders, and video recording. The [SOA]2 system uses scopes from another manufacturer, US NightVision. Special Operations Apps hopes to get this working on Android, the Lumia 900, and the Nokia PureView (which would be a good fit given its insane camera). Down the road, they hope to include object recognition, facial recognition, and motion tracking.
We've already seen the U.S. military get pretty heavily involved in mobile, but they've been focusing primarily on the app side of things. I'd be curious to see how many other third parties start finding ways to put these devices on the field, since it seems like SOA is fairly specialized. It still seems weird to me that consumer-grade electronics can be considered secure and reliable enough for military use, but hey, if it generates cool (and likely expensive) smartphone gear like this, I'm all for it. One of the product managers, Jonathan Springer, put the relationship between soldier and smartphone in a pretty clear context.
Bottom line up front, this joint teaming alliance is about integrating the best uses of technology we have right now and putting this technology into the hands of our combat soldiers downrange. The soldier already knows these mobile smart devices. It's already in his pocket, and he's already an expert at using it.
Any military folks in the house? How useful does your iPhone or iPad come in your line of work?

Army SF and the Mass State Police are now using a device to track the connection between insurgents / criminal street gang members. It was designed by the Naval Postgraduate School and it is used on Ipads, Iphones and Ipods.
You could own the night vision aect right now. It requires a monocular I think a gen 3 NV AND THE ADAPTER PIECES TO ATTACHNTHE NVG TO the phone. They also have a crazy boom mic for eavesdropping too. Works great
Type iphone4 + night vision + 2012 shotshow in google and you will see it all !!!!

Thank you for joining the Seminary Co-operative Bookstores. We have been independent and member-owned since 1961. Founded by seventeen persons who wanted a bookstore that represented them, it has grown from a small basement bookstore into a labyrinth of books at two locations in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, now with over 53,000 members. For over 40 years, legendary bookseller Jack Cella managed the Seminary Co-op, establishing us as one of the finest bookstores in the world.
By becoming a member, you not only invest in a local, cooperatively owned business, but also join a rich and storied intellectual community. Over the years, our members have included authors, scholars, and public figures such as Barack and Michelle Obama, Saul Bellow, Friedrich Hayek, Paul Ricoeur, Susan Sontag, and Harold Washington, to name a few.
The Woodlawn Avenue store houses an extensive collection, with a focus on titles reflecting the academic strengths of the University of Chicago. The Seminary Co-op is committed to the principles of free and open inquiry and seeks to support the life of the mind by providing a world-class selection of works by the leading thinkers throughout history.
Two blocks away, at the corner of 57th Street and Kimbark Avenue, is the Co-op's second store, 57th Street Books. This store has served a general readership since 1983, and is closely fitted to the Hyde Park neighborhood and larger South Side community. 57th Street Books has an excellent selection of children's books, cookbooks, travel guides, mysteries, and science fiction.
Both stores believe in the power of the written word to inform, enlighten and delight readers of all ages. We maintain that bookstores play a critical role in any community by providing a space of enrichment and camaraderie, as well as allowing for the magic of the serendipitous browsing experience. There is, in other words, no substitute for being in the physical presence of books, even as the web has changed the way they are published, distributed, and even read. At our stores, an experienced and knowledgeable staff continues to give careful thought to which books to stock and highlight. Members are now spread throughout the country and the world, and many continue to be in touch with the Co-op through email and our website to order books. You can also follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr.
Co-op members who spend at least $100 accrue points equivalent to a 10% purchase credit that can be used toward future purchase in the stores or online. These points accumulate over the course of the fiscal year running from July 1st through June 30th, and may be redeemed any time within the following fiscal year.

Bears on live den cams in Minnesota
The bear den cams of the North American Bear Center near Ely, Minn. are active again this winter.
The cameras have been placed in three dens.
A 3-year-old sow named Jewel appears to be within days if not hours of giving birth in front of a worldwide audience via the Internet, according to a statement from the center.
The other cameras are placed in the den of a sow and its yearling (Lily and Faith) and the quarters of three captive bears at the center (Ted, Lucky and Honey).
It's the third winter of following the bears and births via the den cams. Lily produced a single cub on Jan. 22, 2010 and two cubs last winter.
The center touts the den cams as a research tool offering scientists a more comprehensive view of the lives of hibernating bears than has been available in the past.
Along with the thousands of informal viewers, an official Den-Watch Team keeps standardized data on the bears 24 hours a day to create scientific publications, according to the center.
Bears typically give birth every two years, usually in January. The cubs nurse on the sow until they emerge from the den in spring.
Research methods of the center have drawn criticism from some in the scientific community as the bears are habituated to human presence.
In any case, the den cams are an Internet hit. Click here for a link to Jewel's den cam and here for the center's home page. Be advised: When you click on the start arrow of the den cam, it will show an advertisement before cutting to the live feed from the den.
As of Wednesday, the pregnant sow was described as "restless." Tuesday it ventured outside the den to eat snow.
If you see a black mass that shows little movement, well, that's a bear in winter. Normally some activity is seen each hour.
The screen shot below shows the pregnant sow with its head resting near the opening of the den.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Mark Banham, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Monday, 26 July 2010 01:35PM
The media regulator said it is "satisfied" broadcasters had adhered to the restrictions and regulations brought in during 2006 to reduce children's exposure to HFSS advertising.
In November 2006, Ofcom announced a ban on the scheduling of HFSS advertising.
The ban, which is one of the strictest in the world, includes a restriction on advertising HFSS products in programmes made for children aged 4 to 15, a ban on advertising HFSS products in programmes likely to be of particular appeal to children aged 4 to 15.
It also includes a ban on sponsorship in the name of HFSS products in programmes made for children or likely to be of particular appeal to them and restrictions on HFSS advertising targeting children of primary school age or younger, including bans on the use of licensed characters and celebrities popular with children, on health claims, and on promotional offers.
According to the National Obesity Forum, 27% of entrants to primary schools are overweight or obese.
Publishing its final review of the ban, the regulator said the restrictions had reduced children's exposure to HFSS advertising by 37% overall, particularly in the case of younger children (52%), who may be more susceptible to the influence of advertising.
In the case of older children, the reduction was less (22%), but Ofcom stated that the results reflected the greater proportion of their viewing in adult airtime, and a shift in their viewing towards channels carrying more HFSS advertising.
According to the regulator, the ban led to "a sharp drop in HFSS advertising featuring various advertising techniques considered attractive to children, such as popular cartoon characters".
While advertisers continued to make use of celebrities, Ofcom said, both in children's and adult airtime, most of these are were to appeal principally to adults.
The ban also contributed to a "significant shift" in the balance of food and drink advertising on television towards non-HFSS products, which accounted for an estimated 33.1% all food and drink advertising spots in 2009 as against 22.5% in 2005 and 41.1% of all food and drink child impacts in 2009, as against 19.3% in 2005.
At the time of the ban, the regulator said its principal aim was to, "reduce the exposure of children to HFSS advertising, as a means of reducing opportunities to persuade children to demand and consume HFSS products".

Don't worry, guys — everyone has to do it. The Toronto Raptors are welcoming their rookies to the big show this week the only way NBA veterans know how. As you can see from the photos above, 2011 first-round pick Jonas Valanciunas and rookies Terrence Ross and Quincy Acy have been rocking children's backpacks with the added bonus of stuffed cartoon characters. Since Valanciunas is technically a sophomore he got to rep someone cool like Bart Simpson. Ross wasn't so luck and neither was Acy: Like these Nuggets rookies last year and Kendall Marshall with his Justin Bieber backpack earlier this season, Toronto's rookies are simply paying their dues. If ever they start to feel sorry for themselves, all they need to do is look at the horrible haircuts NFL veterans give their rookies and remember it could be much, much worse.

What's New
Quick Switch for Uber & Lyft
Floats over:
Uber Partner
Uber Passenger
Google Maps
This app will switch between apps, and requires NO root access. If you have rooted your phone, you might prefer another app I've built called 'Driver Bar' this app allows for both switching and closing of the other driver apps.
Additional features:
Hide the bar for 20 seconds: good if it's covering an on screen feature that you need to access.
Quick Access to:
- Gas Buddy
- Uber Partners Dashboard Website
- Uber Passenger App (to keep an eye on other cars and surges)
There are absolutely NO ADS which is why I am charging a nominal price for it.
Driver Bar (Uber Lyft Sidecar)
This app floats above Uber Partner, Lyft, and Sidecar:Drive apps. It also floats above GoogleMaps and Waze. It has an icon for each RideShare App, allowing you to close the other two when pressed. This saves time, after accepting ride requests, not having to flip into the other two apps, and turn off driver mode. Hopefully it will help you remember to toggle them off, so you don't continue to get ride requests from the other apps, which just slows down service for the customer, and hurts your acceptance rate.
If you get a ride request from UBER, touch the screen to accept, then tap the UBER icon in the Driver Bar App. It will automatically close Lyft and Sidecar, and leave you on your UBER screen. It works the same way for the other two.
If you LONG PRESS an icon, it will launch the app that you long press, so you can log back into driver mode after you drop off your rider.
This app was originally built for personal use on a Galaxy S3 with a screen resolution of 720×1280. It should work just fine on larger phones as well, but the icons will be slightly smaller. I put a gap between them, so they would be easier to just touch a single button.
This app requires ROOT on Android. Uber Partner app is not compatible with ROOT for Android unless you use 'RootCloak'. Instructions for installing and using RootCloak are at the following link. http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak
Because this app uses a force stop to close the other apps, it does require root. Lyft will detect this force stop as a communication error with their system, and after a few minutes, will send you a text noting that they lost communication with you. If the text annoys you, turn off notifications for that specific phone number.
Because this app requires ROOT, you will be prompted for SuperUser permissions.
I am not a programmer. I built this for me, and thought that it might be helpful to others. I understand that it is VERY specific in usage. If it doesn't work for you or on your phone, return it, I'll happily refund. There are absolutely NO ADS anywhere in this app, which is why I'm charging a nominal price for it.
-More button, allows you to close the driver bar completely, move it to the left edge or back to the right edge, Hide it for 20 seconds (in case it is in the way of an on screen keyboard), or KILL ALL 3 Driver apps all at once to go offline completely.

Conference Call Dialer Pro is created for people who join multiple conference calls (sometimes called conf calls) in a day, especially while traveling (like driving a car, walking, jogging, etc) or working away from your computer. It reads data from your Android calendar and dials the proper gateway number providing also the conference code (aka participant access code), so that you don't need to memorize all the conference details. Conference calling has never being easier!
Additionally there is a widget available that makes Conference Call Dialer Pro even easier to use directly from your home screen.
Thanks to Conference Call Dialer Pro you will never again need to write down the participant code or search for the invitation in your email client. Everything is available right away at your finger tips. No need to create any external account (like with some other applications), it simply works right after downloading to your smartphone!
Main functionality:
- Retrieve information about meetings from your calendar (outlook, gmail, etc) - you choose which one you want to use
- Dial into conference calls with conf code/participant code from the invitation - allows for selection if more than one conference code is found
- Manage and use multiple dial-in numbers/audio bridges (e.g. of your company and of your customers)
- View the details of each invitation
- A widget for the home screen for convenient "My conference call" and "Join current meeting" actions
- Quickly join your own conference call from every screen
- Automatic import of bridge numbers for selected companies
- Easy management of prefixes used to identify conference codes/participant codes in the invitation
- Handling of leader pins, direct phone numbers (must start with +)
- New smaller widget for the home screen
- Handling of # and blackberry style of phone numbers, so +PHONENUM#CONFCODE#LEADERPIN and +PHONENUMxCONFCODExLEADERPIN
- Notifications
- Default gateway per conference code
For more details about how CCD discovers information, please see FAQ at https://sites.google.com/site/conferencecalldialerhomepage/home
IMPORTANT - if your device has a "privacy guard" functionality included (e.g. CM 10.1 builds), don't forget to white-list Conf Call Dialer Pro. Otherwise you'll see no calendars on the calendar selection list.
Before you buy the Pro version, test your phone and your calendar and dialer application with the Free version. Some smartphones (like from Sony or OnePlus) seem not to expose proper API for placing conference calls.
The release cycle for the Pro version is by design not in sync with the Free version. In most cases features from the Free version get migrated to the Pro version approximately 2-4 weeks later to ensure optimal stability of the Pro version.

[you press 1]
2. Enter the meeting ID number followed by #.
[you enter 12345# which is the meeting ID]
3. You have entered 12345, if this is correct enter the password followed by #.
[you enter 6666# which is the meeting password and then successfully enter the meeting]
You can easily do the same using the app as follows -
1. Create a new template from the second tab. Give it a name (say Office) and choose the phone number to dial.
2. With the help of a keypad set the template string for the above call sequence as "1-Pause-Pause-ID-#-Pause-Pause-PIN-#"
3. The above sequence translates to [press 1]-[pause for some time]-[enter the ID followed by #]-[pause for some time]-[enter the password followed by #]
4. Create a new meeting using the above template and provide the meeting ID and password. For the above example these would be 12345 and 6666.
5. Dial directly into your meetings from the app.
6. You can reuse the template to create new meetings that follow the same sequence.
7. Create new templates for other interactive voice response systems that you use.

A lawsuit alleging religious bias, including mandatory participation in Christian prayers, against the U.S. Department of Defense was expanded this week, the latest twist in a story that probably won't go away in 2009.
Afghan journalist gets 20 years for insulting Prophet Mohammad
The sentencing of an Afghan journalist to 20 years in jail for distributing an Internet article that said the Prophet Mohammad had ignored the rights of women has raised questions about freedom of expression and possibly the rising influence of hardline Islamists in war-ravaged Afghanistan. But is there politics at play here as well?
U.S. soldier sues over mandatory Christian prayers
A non-religious Kansas soldier is suing U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates on the grounds that his constitutional rights were violated when he was forced to attend military events where "fundamentalist Christian prayers" were recited.
Telegram diplomacy, Vatican style
What do Albania, Greece, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia have in common?
Their heads of state all received identical or nearly identical telegrams from Pope Benedict as his plane was flying over their countries on the way from Rome to Australia to preside at the Roman Catholic Church's World Day of Youth.
The telegrams said "FLYING OVER (NAME OF COUNTRY) EN ROUTE TO AUSTRALIA FOR THE CELEBRATION OF WORLD YOUTH DAY, I SEND CORDIAL GREETINGS TO YOU AND TO ALL YOUR FELLOW-CITIZENS, ALONG WITH THE ASSURANCE OF MY PRAYERS THAT ALMIGHTY GOD WILL BLESS THE NATION WITH PEACE AND PROSPERITY. BENEDICTUS PP. XVI.
That was the version received by heads of state of countries whose majority of citizens practice one of the three monotheistic religions. The others, where other religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism are practiced, received a slightly different version in which the phrase "invoking divine blessings" replaced the phrase "that almighty God will bless the nation".
But one could not help but wonder why the telegrams were virtually identical (apart from the God/divine difference) even though the situation in the various countries hardly is. Current events in Greece, for example, are hardly similar to those in Myanmar or Afghanistan.
When he flew over countries, the late Pope John Paul would sometimes tailor his telegrams to reflect the situation on the ground, even if only obliquely. So, when reporters aboard Benedict's plane were handed out 18 telegrams, some read them expecting, or hoping, that a straightforward or diplomatically creative tea-leaves message might be found in those being beamed to hot spots such as Afghanistan, which is engulfed in war, Myanmar, which is still trying to recover from the devastation of Cyclone Nargis and whose human rights record has prompted concern by the international community, or Vietnam, with which the Vatican hopes to soon establish full diplomatic relations after decades of tensions.
Granted, telegrams are not the building blocks of any state's diplomacy. But of all the countries that were flown over, the pope has only visited one (Turkey) and perhaps this is the closest he will come to most of the rest of them.
And, a little old-style tea leaves reading would have helped reporters who clocked more than 20 hours of flying with the pope between Rome and Sydney kill a little time.
And maybe even have produced a story or two more.
Kissinger, Iraq and India's Muslims – a new domino theory?
Is Henry Kissinger trying to update the domino theory to fit what he fears in 2008? He had a "Lunch with the FT" interview in Saturday's Financial Times and surprised his interviewer, historian Stephen Graubard, by linking the war in Iraq and Muslims in India. As Graubard wrote:
Afghan journalist appeals blasphemy conviction
The blasphemy case against Afghan journalist Sayed Perwiz Kambakhsh, 23, is back in the news. Kambakhsh appeared at an appeal hearing in Kabul on Sunday, pleaded innocent and was given a week to present his defence statement against the primary provincial court's ruling and to find a defence lawyer. Our report from Kabul says he flatly denied charges he had insulted Islam and the Koran and had distributed an article which said Prophet Mohammad had ignored the rights of women.
Secularist slide in Pakistan as local Sharia courts proposed
One of the most interesting results in Pakistan's general election last February was the victory of the secularist Awami National Party in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) after six years of Islamist government in Peshawar. In a province where the Taliban and other Islamists had made heavy inroads, the vote for the ANP and the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) seems to herald a turn toward some form of secularist democracy. "The greatest achievement of this transition to democracy is the rout of religious extremists who wanted to plunge Pakistan into anarchy," Najam Sethi, editor of the Daily Times, wrote in his post-ballot analysis. "It is the rise of liberal democracy … that will help solve the problem of religious extremism in Pakistan."
Amr Khaled sees good side of Danish Mohammad cartoon row
The Danish caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad were widely condemned in the Muslim world and led to violent protests, attacks on embassies and even deaths. Even in recent days, they have continued to stir more protest (in Pakistan) and create security problems (in Afghanistan). They have set off a kind of "clash of civilisations" with a Muslim side denouncing them as blasphemy and a western side defending them as freedom of speech. The whole dispute has been extremely polarising.
Vatican baptism raises questions about Catholic-Muslim dialogue
Just when relations between the Vatican and Muslims were improving, Pope Benedict has taken a highly symbolic step that could set them back again. On Saturday evening, at the Easter Vigil Mass, he baptised seven people including one of Italy's best-known Muslims. Magdi Allam, the new convert, is deputy director of the Milan newspaper Corriere della Sera and an outspoken critic of radical Islam. The Egyptian-born journalist, who has lived in Italy since his university days, was one of the few Muslims who defended the pope after his controversial Regensburg speech in 2006. Allam's outspoken articles have already prompted death threats from Islamists and he lives under constant guard. Announcing the surprise move only an hour before it took place, the Vatican stressed the Catholic Church had the right to baptise anyone who wanted to join it and that all were equal in the eyes of God.
Afghan journalist in blasphemy case says trial took only four minutes
Sayed Perwiz Kambakhsh, the 23-year-old Afghan journalist sentenced to death for blasphemy and other crimes against Islam, has told the London daily The Independent in his first interview since the verdict that his trial for downloading a report on women's rights from the Internet was over in only four minutes. Independent correspondent Kim Sengupta spoke to Kambakhsh at his prison in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sherif. Here is the interview and an editorial by the newspaper, which has launched a petition for Kambakhsh's release that has got 88,500 signatures so far.
