Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Linda Isam Haddad | 10 Apr 2008 08:24 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, United States
Tareq Ayoub died when a US tank fired at Al Jazeera's Baghdad bureau [Getty]An international media advocacy group has criticised the US military for not fully investigating the deaths of three journalists killed when their hotel and Al Jazeera's office came under US fire as Baghdad fell on April 8, 2003.The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) says it has continuously called on the US military to fully investigate the incidents that came just before the statue of Saddam Hussein was toppled."The Pentagon has never credibly explained the strike on the Baghdad bureau on Al Jazeera, despite our repeated calls to investigate it," Joel Campagna, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa senior programme co-ordinator, said. Tariq Ayoub, a correspondent for Al Jazeera, was killed when a US missile struck the Baghdad bureau.Al Jazeera directors had given the US military the bureau's geographic co-ordinates weeks before the war began in March 2003.US commanders were also aware that the Palestine Hotel was a main base for dozens of international journalists.But José Couso, a cameraman for the Spanish television station Telecinco, and Taras Protsyuk, a cameraman for Reuters, were killed after a US tank fired a shell at the hotel later the same day.In a statement released on Tuesday, the CPJ stated that their investigation into the attack "found that although the attack on the [Palestine] hotel was not deliberate, it could have been avoided and may have been caused by a breakdown in communication within the US army chain of command".Targeted attacks?But Ayoub's brother, Khalid Ayoub, believes that both attacks were intentional.
"[Bush] targeted these journalists, he targeted Al Jazeera and he has an agenda against them"Khalid Ayoub, Tariq Ayoub's brother"My brother was 100 per cent killed and targeted," he said."[Bush] targeted these journalists, he targeted Al Jazeera and he has an agenda against them." The US military media office in Central Command (Centcom) in Qatar denied that its forces intentionally target citizens or members of the press. When asked to respond to the CBJ's claims, the Centcom media office referred Al Jazeera to the US department of defence in Washington DC.
There was no immediate response from the defence department.
Military investigationA US military investigation into events at the Palestine hotel was made public in late 2004 in response to a Freedom of Information Act requested by CPJ in May 2003. The findings cleared US forces of "fault or negligence".
However, the CPJ's main concern is why US commanders, who knew that international journalists were in the Palestine Hotel, failed to convey this information to US forces on the ground.
Campagna feels that a similar investigation is required to explain how Al Jazeera's Ayoub was killed on April 8.
"We haven't seen evidence to conclude [Al Jazeera's bureau] was deliberately targeted but it is troubling to have silence from the Pentagon about the strike," he said. He said that whether one believes that the targeting of the Baghdad bureau were intentional or not, the US Pentagon should not just "sweep our questions or demands for an investigation under the rug. People want answers and they should deal with it by answering our questions."
"American assurances"
Maher Abdullah, a talk show host and producer with Al Jazeera, witnessed the attack against the Baghdad bureau and documented the events surrounding Ayoub's death.
Ukranians stand in memory of Taras Protsyuk infront of the US embassy on April 8, 2008 [EPA]But Abdullah died in a car accident in 2004 before he could publish his work. His unpublished notes were provided to Al Jazeera by his brother Abraham Ahmad.Abdullah wrote that US aircraft had been flying extremely low over the area that morning. His crew had gone up to the roof of the building to film but had to come down because the situation had become too dangerous.Abdullah wrote that Al Jazeera's general manager had "reiterated American assurances about the bureau being known to them and that it would not be targeted". But later, when Ayoub and the assistant cameraman went back up on the roof to adjust a camera, which was shooting live at the time, a missile struck Al Jazeera's power generator killing Ayoub. The assistant cameraman was injured.Seeking justice
Though their case was dismissed by a Spanish high court in 2006, the Couso family have been appealing against the dismissal and protesting in front of the US embassy in Spain every April 8 to continue building awareness about the incident. Iraq has proven to be one of the bloodiest battlegrounds for journalists. Since the March 20, US-led invasion in 2003, at least 16 journalists and six media support workers have been killed by US forces, the CPJ said. Another 110 have been killed by militias, anti-government fighters and car bombings. The CPJ has continually asked the US military explore ways to improve safety with news executives and press freedom groups. In the meantime, April 8 is a bitter anniversary for the Ayoub family.
Khalid says his brother was loved and respected while he was alive, and after his death. "He was a good person, good brother, father and friend and he was just doing his job," he said.

'Short Term Shaadi' not an adaptation: Karan Johar

Karan Johar has denied reports that his next film, tentatively titled 'Short Term Shaadi' starring Kareena Kapoor and Imraan Khan is an adaptation of the Hollywood movie 'What happens in Vegas'.
The filmmaker said that the film is an original story written by debutante director Shakun Batra and is not inspired by the Cameron Diaz-Ashton Kutcher starrer hit rom-com.
"The movie is not an adaptation. It is an original story written by the writer of the film and Shakun is the director of the film with Imraan and Kareena in it. It is not an adaptation of 'What happens in Vegas,'" Johar said.
The 38-year-old director also dismissed stories that he asked Kareena to regain her size zero figure for the venture, and even have a haircut for the role.
"I have not had any conversation about this with Kareena. This is just taken off and acquired it's own life. She will look the way she does - lovely and beautiful like she is," said Johar, who was in the city to attend the launch of apparel store 'The Collective'.
His latest production 'We are Family' (WAF), directed by Siddharth Malhotra, an official adaptation of Hollywood flick 'Stepmom' has received mixed response at the box office.
"I don't think WAF is a rip off. People don't even remember the original (Stepmom) at all. It is a true adaptation. There are tracks and scenes in the movie that don't even exist in the original. We haven't copied anything. We gave a price that means we own content which means we can replicate it in our way," he said.
"We are happy with it's reception and are excited that we have managed to give it an Indian touch and yet not make it regretful in any way."
Apart from the movie, Elvis Presley's classic song 'Jail House Rock' called as 'Dil khol ke let's rock' have also been composed with Hindi lyrics on the tunes of the original.

20+ Vegan TV Dinners
Give new meaning to no-fuss, no-muss with these vegan minute-meals.
Everyone wishes they could have a gourmet, vegan meal every night, complete with phyllo-seitain roulade in reduced shallot and white wine sauce, three-layer tortes, and all the other impossibly time-consuming recipes that require hours of preparation—or a personal chef. But now that school is in session and the lazy afternoons of summer are a thing of the past, who really has that kind of time? Luckily, in the world of veganism, a half an hour or less for dinner doesn't leave PB&J's and instant miso as the only menu options. Enter the vegan TV dinner. Whether it's store-bought and nuked or whipped up in a flash at home, these dinners are quick, affordable, and taste nothing like space food.
Minute Meals
Resist the plain white rice! One of these quick, no-hassle recipes will give you the dinner you deserve at a time commitment level you can handle. For chilly fall nights, turn to savory chili, Potato and Corn Hash, Mexican stew, or this surprisingly simple baked ziti to warm up in a hurry. Looking for something to satisfy munchkins after school and soccer practice? Franks and beans, Fast and Easy Macaroni, Broccoli noodles, or tacos can do the trick without the time. Serve up a simple side of rice pilaf, beans and rice, Instant Fried Rice, or ramen. And if you ever have a little spare time on a Sunday night, whip up some homemade pizza dough and freeze it for later in the week.
TV Dinners
An improvement from the frozen rubbery meatloaf and dry mashed potatoes of omnivore counterparts are the boxed, frozen, über-convenient vegan dinners of the 21st century. Whether they come as a complete meal or require a side made at home, these appetizers and meals are sure to fill you up without slowing down the clock. Trader Joe's Meatless Meatballs add a little something extra to a store-bought sauce, and Gardein Beefless Beef Tips are perfect sautéed with frozen veggies. For more vegan meat substitutes that make mouth-watering meal starters, try Amy's California Veggie Burger with a little bit of avocado, Field Roast's Classic Meatloaf matched with a baked potato, or Tofurky Italian Sausage to answer all your calls to Italy. And then of course there are the less-typical TV dinners—Trader Joe's makes a delicious Black Bean and Corn Enchilada, Amy's Non-Dairy Vegetable Potpie is perfect for when the snow starts to fall, and Amy's ever-famous Vegan Rice Macaroni & Cheeze tastes just like the "real" thing. Kashi's Black Bean and Mango Entrée is zesty, and its Tuscan Veggie Bake fills you up instantly. And of course, any of Gardein's delicious Trio meals will make you wonder why you ever bother to cook on your own at all.
Time-Saving Desserts
To finish off your time-saving meals and avoid reaching for the over-processed, store-bought desserts, try an easy, minutes-to-make sweet treat that will leave you satisfied. Believe it or not, a number of desserts can be made in a flash in the microwave, including brownies, chocolate cake, snack cakes, and cornbread. Chocolate Pudding, Date Coconut Balls, and fudge are all over-the-stove desserts that are ready in no time. And refrigerated desserts, such as Oatmeal Squares and frozen bananas are a breeze.

Providing the needed data for application development and testing is a huge headache for most organizations. The problems are often the same across companies - speed, quality, cost, and control. Provisioning data can take days or weeks, every time a refresh is required. Using dummy data leads to quality problems. Creating physical copies of large data sets and sending them to distributed teams of developers eats up expensive storage and bandwidth resources. And, all of these copies proliferating...

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats. In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments. Yet companies are falling for cloud security myths that were truths at one time but have evolved out of existence.

2002 Chrysler Sebring Sedan LX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
My mom and I had to finance this car due to my Baby Girl being in the hospital and my '97 Escort being out of commission. I love my car, it had 52,903 miles on it when I bought it in October 2004, in March 2005 I had to repair the transmission to the tune of 1,300 dollars, I have since put 1,200 into it repairing/replacing tie rods, ball joints, brakes, brake hoses, strut components, oh and you can't easily obtain some of the most important safety components, such as strut mounts, I recently had to buy a used pair of struts from a junkyard because the mounts rotted out on mine, and 9,681 other peoples Sebring and this part is on backorder until at least August 11th (possibly September.)
My little 4 cylinder engine that accelerates like nobody's business. CD player, comfy seats, LATCH system, smooth ride, trunk space, passenger space, my pretty Metallic Hunter Green color. It's a family car and a performance car all-in-one!
Better quality building and parts. Easier accessibility to parts. Better gas mileage.
I am an ASE Certified Auto Tech who owns one, so knowing these vehicles is helpful in writing this review. The 2.4L DOHC 4-Cylinder has more than enough pep for running around town and on the highway without the A/C, but you can feel a big loss of power with the A/C on. The exterior styling has to be one of the nicest I have seen. The interior styling is also very nice, good layout of all the controls. The sound system is superb! This car seems to go through rotors from warpage quite often, it also seems to wear out outer tie rod ends quickly, and the auto trans in these cars go bad just looking at them, without proper care and feeding. Overall, I would recommend this car to a friend.
The best stock sound system I have ever heard in a car. The chrome trim around dash gauges. The power moonroof. The wood trim on the dashboard.
The A-604 automatic transmission!, the solenoid packs get clogged and results in delayed shifts, the rear planetary blows through the back of the case, there is a jerk on a 2-1 downshift. Be sure to use ATF +4 trans fluid only, NO Dexron/Mercon. Be sure to change fluid and filter every 15,000 miles
2002 Chrysler Sebring Sedan LXi 4dr Sedan (2.7L 6cyl 4A)
I got this car 2 years ago, used. Had 60k. Not bad for the price I paid. A couple months into owning the car, I noticed a slight knocking in the engine. I took it back to the dealer to get checked out. I was told there were no problems, everything was working fine. Six months later, car overheated and had to have the water manifold replaced. Seemed ok afterwards. Yet, a couple months after, more problems. The window control panel broke twice. Heat blower stopped working. Even with regular oil changes, the engine died. $2900 to replace, and only worth $3000. Chrysler needs to put more effort into making sure they are selling a quality product.
Roomy, looks nice.
Needs a more durable engine.
Bought new-78k currently. Regular maintenance is all. Did not replace brakes until 50k-85%city driving. Mileage is 24 with no a/c and about 22 with in the city. Highway is 28 - 30 with cruise at 70 ish. Leather has held up well-clean 2-3 times a yr. No rattles or squeaks, V6 still is a blast to drive - very revvy and punchy. Tranny is smooth and reliable. No electrical problem other than seat heater relay going out. Still on factory alt and water pump. No major leaks of any kind. Handles ok but could use stiffer shocks/struts to really handle well. Overall it is a quiet, economical sedan to own. i just wish resell was higher on Chryslers. That is what would make it a great preowned car.
V6 power, comfort of seats (6ft 2), seat heaters, excellent Infinity sound system, trunk room is good, it does what we want it to do - get us down the road safely and economically.
V6 is crammed against fire wall- radiator hoses are hard to change and you have to take off driver side tire to get to batt. All minor issues since you only deal with them occasionally. I wish the pass seat was powered. If maintenance is done it will be a good car - that goes for any car now a days.
Bought my 02 Chrysler Sebring 4D Sedan brand new for just under $16K. No problems except for a bad battery. Comfy car, great stereo, smooth ride. Only complaint is gas mileage. With stop and go traffic in Atlanta, I only get about 21/22 miles per gallon. But, other than that, I'm a happy customer. Will probably buy a Sebring convertible when (if??) my 02 ever wears out... this is the first non- import car I've ever owned and I have no complaints!
Very stylish; looks great; comfy on road trips; nice sound system.
Gas mileage needs to be improved.

The company Portinvest plans to construct a terminal for transshipment of grains and liquid cargoes in the Yuzhny port with the capacity of 10 mln tonnes, declared Alexander Smirnov, Head of the company.
According to him, Portinvest plans to build facilities for processing of agricultural products in the port. The potential of the port Yuzhny totals more than 100 mln tonnes, added A.Smirnov. There are plenty of place on the shore for everyone, but facilities of the public infrastructure are missing: piers and railways.
He noted that if the dredging works reach the claimed level of 21 meters, the port Yuzhny will become the deepest port in the entire Black-Asov Sea region. Such results will be the unconditional competitive advantage for economy of the country, for both the export and import potential.
The holding Portinvest was founded in 2010, and System Capital Management owns 100% of its authorised capital stock. Portinvest is engaged in the strategical management of the transport assets, development and realization of various investment projects in the port sector, organization and management of the complex transportation services.

It could so easily have been a mirage, the sight of Ian Butler striding confidently across a sun-drenched Seddon Park in his Black Caps training singlet.
Back in 2004 the tearaway fast bowler was told by a doctor he'd never bowl again. Then, last year, as he struggled through a season with Otago, he was within a pen stroke of signing his international cricketing future away and heading to England.
"I would have signed over there for a county side and used my British passport [via his mother] like Hamish Marshall and guys like that have," he recalled yesterday. So how close was he?
"On the dotted line, yeah, but I decided not to go. I didn't pull out but I was almost about to sign."
A sigh of relief and a chuckle suggests he's glad he made the right choice.
He'd played county cricket for Kent and Gloucestershire, and also league cricket in Birmingham, but always yearned for a return to the black cap.
His first one arrived early, when he was 20 on England's tour in 2002. A discovery of then-selector Richard Hadlee, Butler bowled fast and with Shane Bond formed New Zealand's quickest new ball duo in the subsequent series win in the West Indies.
He memorably ran through Pakistan at the Basin Reserve the following year, the haul of 6-46 still his best first-class figures.
But then the fairytale took a dark turn, and everything that could go wrong with his back, did go wrong. He emerged from a Melbourne one-dayer in 2004 with a bulging disc in his back.
"You'll never bowl again," were the fateful words from one surgeon.
Butler's response now? "You don't believe everything the medical profession tell you."
From a cautious comeback for Northern Districts as a batting all-rounder and medium pacer, he went on to Otago, where he rediscovered his mojo, and a recall to the national Twenty20 squad in 2009.
But his career stalled again and his previous international was a T20 against Pakistan in Hamilton in December 2010.
This season his form has been outstanding; leading wicket-taker in Plunket Shield with 36 at 23.52, and averaging 36 with the bat. And he played a starring role in guiding Otago home in the T20 final.
"International cricket's a ruthless environment and if you don't front up you get put to the side. The aim now is to not give people opportunities to drop me," Butler said.
"I don't think I've ever bowled as well as I have this year. It's certainly shown in four-day cricket that my stats are as good as I could hope for."
Particularly his most recent 10-111 for the match against Northern Districts in Queenstown, after which he got the summons from national coach Mike Hesson.
Butler still bowls hard into the wicket and gets it through in the 135kmh bracket, having been clocked at 150kmh in India in his early days.
He credits his turnaround with being given more licence to attack in Otago, with regular spearhead Neil Wagner away with the national side.
"That confidence comes from running in and bowling a heavy ball."
Now 31, Butler might have an 11-year span of international cricket behind him but he still feels like a youngster.
"I try to tell people that age is just a number. I don't feel 31. My body is 10 times better than it was when I was 23."
And the dark times, when cricket was his enemy, as recently as last year when thoughts of leaving Dunedin for England gnawed away.
"I learned with Otago, you have to enjoy your cricket. As soon as you start taking that enjoyment out of it, like last year I had a few issues off the field and got dropped from my domestic T20 side and I didn't even want to play cricket.
"I started looking at using my British passport in England and just stupid things like that. When you're playing in a team environment that you enjoy, and you enjoy playing for your mates and your country you shouldn't have to worry about what happens in the future."
So he's not looking too much further than this T20 series, which he's itching to take part in after being ruled out of Saturday's opener with an ankle injury suffered in the Whangarei warmup games.
Given his excellent Plunket Shield form, a test callup can't be far away, with no-one having adequately nailed down that all-rounder's spot.
He played the last of his eight tests in Dhaka in 2004, and the man himself couldn't do any more to play that suggestion down.
"Four-day cricket is my favourite form of the game. It's not something I've given up on, and I love playing it, but with the crop of bowlers we've got at the moment I'd imagine there's a few ahead of me."
After the rollercoaster he's been on, Butler will settle for any black cap, any time.

Facebook, in a challenge to LinkedIn, is rolling out an application that connects candidates with job vacancies and recruiters on the world's largest social network.
The new service claims more than 1.7 million jobs from partners including Monster Worldwide and BranchOut, the company said on its website Thursday. The online app follows Facebook's introduction of the Social Jobs Partnership last year with the US Department of Labor and other agencies.
Facebook, which has grown to more than 1 billion users, is expanding into new services and markets as it seeks to attract more users and keep them longer on its site. That is putting pressure on LinkedIn, a professional-networking site with 187 million users that has faced some growth concerns. One of LinkedIn's strengths is its popularity with job seekers and recruiters.
"Facebook is all about connecting people and we're thrilled to see developers leveraging our platform to connect job seekers and prospective employers," Marne Levine, Facebook's vice president for global public policy, said in a statement.
"By allowing job seekers to view and share job openings based on personalised criteria, like location and industry, the Social Jobs Application builds on our broader effort to help people use social media to find jobs in the US," Levine said.
Shares of Mountain View, California-based LinkedIn fell as much as 3.7 per cent after Facebook's announcement, and traded down less than 1 per cent to $US98.77 at the close in New York. Facebook shares rose 13 per cent to US$22.36.
The new app is a "central location" for recruiters to share job openings with Facebook users, the company said.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
05 Apr 2010 22:02 GMT
Zhang Baoshun, the communist party chief in Shanxi, was quoted by Xinhua news agency as saying at least 95 of the miners were known to be alive.
"I expect there will be more to be found in the flooded mine," he said.
Unexpected rescueAl Jazeera's Harry Fawcett, reporting from outside the mine, said that dozens of rescued mine workers had been brought out and placed into ambulances waiting to take them to nearby hospitals."It has been an amazing hour-and-a-half. It started off with a number of orange jumpsuited workers running to the mine and they were followed by army soldiers," he said."In the minutes that followed we saw two stretchers come out, but after that we lost count - there was just a constant stream of stretchers coming out."Nothing like this was really expected."China Central Television showed survivors being brought out of the mine strapped to stretchers and wrapped in green blankets. Towels covered their eyes and blackened faces to protect them from the light."How fantastic to be on ground again," Xinhua quoted one 27-year-old survivor as saying.
The rescue on Monday sparked cheers from hundreds of rescue workers, army personnel and medical staff."I have not slept for several days," Wei Fusheng, one of the rescuers, told state television as he wept with joy. "Our efforts have not been in vain."Stable condition
The first nine miners were saved from another part of the mine late on Sunday.Liu said those nine men were in a stable condition and the state-run Xinhua news agency said they were conscious and could identify themselves but their bodies had suffered.
Chinese media reported that some of the miners survived by attaching themselves to a mine wall with their belts to escape water rushing in from an adjacent shaft and then climbing into a mining cart that floated past after three days."This is probably one of the most amazing rescues in the history of mining anywhere," David Feickert, a coal mine safety adviser to the Chinese government, said.
Early investigations by China's work safety administration found that the mine's managers ignored water leaks from the abandoned mine before the accident.State media said that the shaft flooded with the equivalent of more than 55 Olympic swimming pools of water.
China's coal mines are the deadliest in the world, despite government efforts to reduce fatalities. Accidents killed 2,631 coal miners in China last year, down from 6,995 deaths in 2002, the most dangerous year on record, according to the State Administration of Coal Mine Safety.Most accidents are blamed on failure to follow safety rules or lack of required ventilation, fire controls and equipment.

Search and rescue teams set to re-enter mine one week after it was flooded.
Rescuers hear faint tapping from inside flooded mine where 153 workers are trapped.

Barbless Season starts August 1st!
It's that time of year again, when Crowley Lake goes into it's protected trout season.
Starting August 1st, you may ony use barbless hooks, no live or scented bait & you may only use one rod. You may only keep two trout and they must be at least 18inches in length.
If you troll or fly-fish, this can be the best time of year to come, we're a lot less crowded and the fishing gets really good as the water heats up.
