Salman Khurshid disfavours VIP security
Ghaziabad: Amidst a growing clamour for getting VIP security in the country, External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid disfavoured such an approach as he, Sunday, said that he himself does not keep such paraphernalia.
Khurshid, who was officiating as the chief guest for the Raising Day celebrations of the paramilitary CISF here, however, did not elaborate on how such an arrangement could be made.
"You should work towards discouraging people from asking for security," he said, adding that he himself does not have any such special arrangement.
Khurshid, Congress MP from Uttar Pradesh`s Farrukhabad, was asked if enhancing the security cover to more VIPs was necessary.
In recent days, more politicians are getting `Z-plus` security and the new entrants include Union Steel Minister Beni Prasad Verma and BSP MP Brajesh Pathak months after the list of VIPs in this category was pruned during P Chidambaram`s tenure as Home Minister.
Delhi has the highest number of security personnel on VIP-guarding duties in the country after Punjab and more than a dozen policemen guard each of the 427 VIPs, who are being given security in the national capital.
According to the "Data on Police Organisations in India-2012", prepared by the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D), while there is one policeman in Delhi for every 253 common citizens, there are 5,183 policemen deployed for giving protection to 427 high-profile people in the city.
CISF chief Rajiv, during his speech at the 44th Raising Day, said the force will be happy to get more responsibilities of guarding Indian Missions abroad.
It guards the Indian mission in Nepal at present while few other embassies and missions are under the security cover of other central security forces.
Khurshid, in reply to this demand, said that his ministry would surely look forward in using the force to its best capabilities.
"I am very impressed with their (CISF) work and we would look at increasing CISF`s contribution in many more places...We will look at all possibilities," the minister said.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), a 1.34 lakh personnel strong central force, guards vital installations in the nuclear and aerospace domain and also guards country`s 59 civil airports.

"Game of Thrones": 10 Questions for Season 7

At ProBikeKit USA, we pride ourselves on being experts in our field. We don't just want to bring you any old tire or inner tube: we want to make sure that you know you're getting the perfect one for your bike. With so many different choices, like clincher tires, tubular tires, long-valve inner tubes, short-valve inner tubes and much more, it is important you know about the different variations before you buy.
Clincher bike tires are what you're likely to find on most rider's wheels these days, with an easy-access clincher feature allowing for hassle-free puncture repairs and quick changeover times. They're the convenient option for riders of all levels.
Tubular bike tires, on the other hand, are stitched or glued into the wheel to allow for a safe and secure attachment. This usually allows for a more streamlined, speedy tire. The downside here, however, is that when a puncture strikes, it can be time-consuming and difficult to replace. The sort of cyclists who favor these are indoor track cyclists, as they aren't as at risk for punctures, and favor speed over anything else. So if you're a speed demon, and you'll put that above any other concerns, go for tubular.

Tom Edwards: Nine Tales
The only thing better than marvelling at Tom's brain during conversation is looking at the illustration that comes out of it. Mythology, felinology, wizary and clipart all play vital roles in what can only be described as some of the most endearing, hilarious illustration going on today. After many weeks of no sleep and bouts of lizard hands (see interview), Tom has completed Nine Tales, a large publication hailed by many reputable sources as one of the most beautiful objects on sale at this year's Pick Me Up. We chatted to Tom about Nine Tales and what the future holds…
Nine Tales features a particular black cat – do you know this cat?
Yeah, it's based on my parents' black cat, Mudgey. But its also an amalgamation of my sister's two cats (a real fat one and a real muscly one) and my parents' other cat who is verging on feral.
What are the benefits of having a cat as the star of a story?
Well, It can do things that maybe a human star character couldn't do, like hide in a banana skin or wear really small jeans. And having a cat doing human things like skateboarding or getting a haircut is more comical than if a human was doing it.
Historic imagery features quite heavily in your work, are you drawn to cats as they have been a constant throughout history?
I think growing up with cats has made me want to make work about them. They're weird animals when you think about it, so sassy but charming at the same time. You're always aware they could sack you off and go and live in the wild at any time, my tiny cat ate a whole wood pigeon once. But the historical factor is an added bonus, Dick Whittington and the Egyptians got it right. Witch hunters – very wrong.
When did you decide to take on the epic task of creating Nine Tales?
I started them at uni, but then left them for a year and a half to fester. Then Victory Press asked me to do an A3 Riso printed book, so I thought this was perfect for it!
Do you work from home or a studio?
I work from home. I often have to rig up a lamp on my computer mouse hand to keep it warm, like a lizard. The rest of the room can be warm but there just seems to be a phantom cold spot in that exact position on my desk.
Where do you find inspiration and do research?
The internet, the internet, the internet. But also the Medieval sections in museums.
One of the best bits about this publication is the patterns, can you tell us about the process of sourcing and creating them?
Some are made up from my head, or borrowed from things I've seen around, but most of them are copyright free patterns I got from a book. I've never really used much pattern before, but I think I'll continue.
The France story is my favourite. Do you have a particular favourite tale in the book?
I like the baked beans story most.
There was talk at Pick Me Up last night of some sort of audiobook to accompany Nine Tails – is that the next step?
Only if Bagpuss narrates it.
Haven't you got a show at Beach London coming up?
Yeah I'm really looking forward to it, there might be some textiles and home made ceramics involved and probably more cats.

Greyhound Inn Wadhurst
Really disappointed. We waited long time to be acknowledged for check in as bar staff busy. Bed small and shower in poor repair. The shower head was broken and water pressure weak. The decor needed updating and our room was tiny. Breakfast was not good! We had to order night before and the chef grumpy that we ordered porridge plus full English. Had to wait a long time and eventually even had to ask for coffee. No one greeted us for breakfast and at £99 this was poor value.

The semifinal match-ups were revealed on the tenth episode of The Ultimate Fighter Nations: Canada vs. Australia and one welterweight solidified his place in the finals.
The Fighters Tell Dana Who They Want to Fight in the Semifinals
The fighters that have advanced were called into a meeting with UFC president Dana White via Skype video chat and asked who they wanted to face in the semifinal round.
Team Canada's Kajan Johnson was first to enter. He said he'd fight whomever they put him in there with but preferred to face Team Australia's Richard Walsh.
Walsh requested a match-up with Johnson. "I'm just going to pick the guy that I wanted to fight right from the get-go, and that's Kajan. He's beaten one of my mates on the team. He's got the biggest mouth," said the Australian.
Team Canada's Chad Laprise was up next and asked for Walsh. "I think he'll stand with me and it will be fireworks," he said. Olivier Aubin-Mercier also asked to face Walsh.
Canada's Elias Theodorou was the first middleweight to meet with White. He asked to be matched up against Tyler Manawaroa. Manawaroa requested a fight with Theodorou.
Canada's Sheldon Westcott said he wanted to fight Australia's Vik Grujic. He also requested to be the final fight of the round because he's healing from a neck injury. "I want to close the season," he said.
Grujic believes Westcott is the strongest of the middleweights left and asked for that match-up. "I want a tough fight," he said. "I want to earn it."
Semifinal Match-ups Revealed
The first welterweight semifinal match-up announced pitted Canadian vs. Canadian. Kajan Johnson was matched up against Chad Laprise. The first middleweight semifinal bout will be Elias Theodorou against Tyler Manawaroa. Team Australia's Richard Walsh was matched up against Team Canada's Olivier Aubin-Mercier. Sheldon Westcott was granted his request to fight last. He'll take on Vik Grujic in the final bout of the season.
The Fight: Chad Laprise vs. Kajan Johnson
Team Canada's coach Patrick Cote decided not to corner either of the Canadians. The coaching staff was supposed to be split up to accommodate both fighters, but that's not the way it worked out. Laprise had three people in his corner including two of team Canada's assistant coaches and one of Team Australia's. Johnson was left with one corner.
The opening round played out on its feet with Laprise setting the pace. He defended three takedown attempts by Johnson and landed the more significant strikes. He was warned by the referee for grabbling the fence to fend off a takedown attempt by Johnson in the closing seconds of the round.
Johnson landed leg kicks in the early going to the second frame, but Laprise kept the pressure on. In the final minute of the round Laprise stepped in with a straight right hand that landed flush on the jaw of Johnson. Johnson collapsed face-first on the canvas, and Laprise solidified his spot in the welterweight finals.
"I think my jaw is broken," was the first thing Johnson said as he sat up on the canvas.
"It was the biggest win of my life, but it was over one of my great friends and training partners outside of the show, let alone we were training partners here. We trained at the same gym back home too," said Laprise following the knockout win. "It's bitter sweet. I hope that Kajan is great. I hope he's not seriously injured."
"Everybody just helped him. No one said anything to me," said an emotional Johnson following the loss. "It was like I was fighting everybody."
Johnson has nearly retired from fighting before coming on the show due to an eye injury and fractured face.
"I only got one guy, Fabio (Holanda). He had a corner with two people all screaming. So it was pretty (expletive) for me," said Johnson. "I just didn't want to go through this again. I didn't want my face to break again. I didn't want to lose the biggest fight of my life," he said as tears streamed down his face.
"It's just another test," he added. "I just don't know why I'm tested so much." His jaw was broken in three places.

GLENS FALLS, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) — An upstate New York man is accused of drowning his girlfriend's dog in the Hudson River.
Matthew Wisell, of Glens Falls, was arrested late Friday on a charge of aggravated animal cruelty, according to published reports.
The small dog was found dead in the Hudson River on Thursday. Its snout and legs were bound in black tape.
Police allege the 27-year-old killed the dog because of behavioral problems.
They said the dog belonged to Wisell's girlfriend, who was not charged.
Wisell was being held pending arraignment. It was not clear if he had a lawyer.
He faces up to two years in state prison if he's convicted on the aggravated animal cruelty charge.

Bite No More is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Andreadlt95 from Ehhh I am horrible with biting my nails, so I wanted to give this a try. It was great at first because it really does taste horrible. It even smells horrible, but the taste doesn't last very long. I applied this on a Tuesday morning and by Wednesday night the flavor was gone. You could still see the glossy coat this product left on my nail, but the taste was no where to be found.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Lexi68 from Doesn't Work I bought this "Bite No More" because I could not find the kind I used to buy anywhere. I figured I would try this because I didn't see bad reviews on this site and it was only $2.99. Well, that $2.99 was a definite waste of money. This nail polish does nothing; there was no bitter taste, and it did nothing to improve the condition of my nails. I even licked my nail to see if I could notice the bitter taste, and there was no taste at all! I would definitely not buy again or recommend to a friend.

Behind the scenes on the Lakers' 6-game trip
Mike Brown came away regretting his ejection costing the Lakers a possible victory in Utah. Kobe Bryant definitely had a rough road in the final minutes of the blown game in Philadelphia. Andrew Bynum admitted he was tired in the Lakers' terribly flat outing in New York.
Considering the Lakers had excuses for losing the three games they did drop on their season-long, six-game trip, maybe it wasn't that bad. It wasn't that good, though.
"Could have been better," Pau Gasol said. "Could have been worse."
It was 11 days for the Lakers away from home so Staples Center could play host to the Grammy Awards, and late Sunday night Gasol Tweeted: "After the long road trip, we're finally back in LA! It feels great to be back at home and be able to sleep in our own bed!"
Let's take a look behind the scenes at some of the off-stage moments as I tracked the team through Denver, Salt Lake City, Philadelphia, Boston, New York and Toronto.
Click on the photo above to begin an inside look at life on the road with the Lakers.

House passes bill prohibiting breed-specific bans in cities
SALT LAKE CITY — After debate on the balance between local control and individual rights, the Utah House voted 43-28 to pass HB97, which would prohibit cities and towns from banning certain breeds.
Bill sponsor Rep. Brian King, D-Salt Lake City, said 10 Utah cities and towns have breed-banning ordinances aimed at pit bulls.
King said aggressive tendencies should be looked at on a dog-by-dog basis and that the American Veterinarian Association agrees one breed isn't more aggressive than another.
"The most common factors in dog bites in the U.S. are young children and the familiarity with the pet and not necessarily the type (of dog)," said Rep. John Mathis, R-Vernal, a veterinarian who called the ordinances poor public policy.
House members discussed the same issues brought up in a Feb. 10 House Political Subdivisions Committee meeting: private property rights and local control. Some representatives said it's an issue best handled by local government.
"Local government is typically the best government, but that is not an absolute rule," said Rep. Jeremy Peterson, R-Ogden. "And this may be one of those instances where it's not a good rule of thumb to follow."
The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.

Joey Gallo didn't hit his first homer of the season last year until the sixth game of the season. It took him seven this year, but he made up for it quickly.
The Rangers' No. 5 prospect homered twice and scored four runs as Class A Advanced Myrtle Beach defeated Wilmington, 6-5, on Thursday.
Gallo finished with a perfect day at the plate, going 4-for-4 while finishing a triple short of the cycle. He put the Pelicans on the board with a solo homer in the second inning. Four innings later, the 20-year-old third baseman hit another solo shot to give the club a 5-1 lead. A newcomer to the Carolina League, the 2012 first-rounder was unsure whether the balls would leave Judy Johnson Field.
"I was just seeing the ball pretty well," Gallo said. "It's a pretty big park here, so I knew to get it out of here, I had get a pretty big piece of it. I was pretty unsure. I hit a ball a few times pretty well that probably would have been out last year where I was playing."
Last year, Gallo slugged the first of his Minor League-leading 40 homers in the season's sixth game for Class A Hickory.
"I'm not too worried about my home run total," MLB.com's No. 91 prospect said. "It's going to be tough to repeat what I did last year. Especially in a league that's known as a pitchers' league. I'm trying to work on other aspects of my game.
"I'm trying to work on a little more plate discipline, working the count a little bit, have better at-bats and defense. Being ready every pitch and playing to the best of my abilities over there."
While the Nevada native entered the night batting .200, Gallo felt good going into the game and thought the early-season struggles could be attributed in part to fate. Tonight was just a different sort of luck for the slugger.
"I wouldn't say I was doing anything different," Gallo said. "I think I had some bad luck. I hit some balls right at guys and guys made some plays. I hit some balls that died in the air that I hit pretty well. I think luck went my way today."
On the mound, Alex Claudio gave up one hit and struck out six over five innings of relief after Cody Buckel allowed a run and walked six in an inning. Jose Leclerc (1-0) earned the win, striking out three over 2 1/3 hitless innings.
"It was huge," Gallo said of the relievers' performance. "[Claudio] came in with the bases loaded and no outs and didn't give up any runs. A guy like makes the game really fun and makes it easy to play defense and win games."
Jack Lopez drove in three runs while Royals' No. 7 prospect Hunter Dozier scored twice for the Blue Rocks.

Method of dispatching tasks in multi-processor computing environment with dispatching rules and monitoring of system status
Image Number 5 for
United States Patent #8015564
An embodiment of a method of dispatching tasks in a multi-processor computing environment begins with a step of a dispatcher within the multi-processor computing environment receiving job properties for a plurality of jobs to be processed in the multi-processor computing environment. Each job comprises at least one task. In a second step, the dispatcher employs an initial dispatching rule to assign an initial subset of tasks to processors within the multi-processor computing environment. The method continues with a third step of the dispatcher monitoring system status of the multi-processor computing environment. In a fourth step, the dispatcher selects a second dispatching rule from a plurality of dispatching rules in response to a change in the system status. In a fifth step, the dispatcher employs the second dispatching rule to assign a second subset of tasks to the processors.

Mini-Bike/Go-Cart Recall: Build Your Own!
tramadol online pharmacy
Baja, Inc. of Phoenix, AZ, announced a recall of around 300,000 mini-bikes and go-carts today. Apparently the affected models' gas caps can leak or detach (potentially causing burns) and their throttles can stick, possibly due to the fuel line and throttle cable being improperly attached.valium online no prescription
According to the CSPC, the recall involves mini-bikes with model numbers beginning with HT65, MH165, WR65, MB196, DB30, WR90 and DR90, as well as go-carts with model numbers BB65, SD65, DN65, and TR65. You can find the model number on the fenders of mini-bikes. On go-carts you'll want to check either the (irony alert) decorative fuel tanks or the carts' roll cages.buy xanax online cod
As usual, you'll want to stop using the recalled bikes immediately and contact Baja Motorsports (check out the CSPC link below) for a free cap and/or repair.buy ambien no rx
And next time, you might consider building your own mini-bike or go-cart. Not only will you be able to take full responsibility for the safety and build quality of the final product yourself, it's a hella cool bonding experience you'll share with the rider-to-be.

Through its coverage of the interlocked controversies over the "Magnitsky List," child adoptions to the U.S., anti-NGO and anti-gay crackdowns and the legal case against anti-corruption activist and Moscow mayoral candidate Aleksei Navalny, the Russian Service helped its audience understand these events in the context of their own lives. The Service was one of two media organizations given access in July to a new music video by the Russian punk collective Pussy Riot, and accompanied the group as it recorded the video at a Moscow gas station.
The Ukrainian Service helped its audience prepare for the anticipated signing of an EU Association Agreement with a series of reports examining the positives and negatives of the deal to bring Ukraine closer to the European Union. The Service covered live the November 28-29 Vilnius Summit, where the Ukrainian government turned away from the agreement, and provided live coverage of the massive Euromaidan protests with streaming video that was viewed more than 25 million times and comprehensive reporting cited by major media worldwide.
In a year when Iranians elected a new president, Radio Farda provided complete coverage of the campaign and vote while reminding audiences of the lives lost after the disputed previous election with its award-winning radio series "The Victims of 88," and bidding farewell to former President Mahmud Ahmadinejad with a radio series "Thirty Controversies of a President." Radio Farda provided breaking news coverage of the agreement reached in Geneva over Iran's nuclear program. Radio Farda's online community is expanding rapidly, adding 3,000 new fans per day to its main Facebook page, for an overall Facebook fan base of one million. A Facebook link to its audio stream has been "recommended" by users over 3,600,000 times.
The Tajik and Uzbek Services reported extensively on a police crackdown on economic migrants to Russia that played a role in the Moscow mayoral campaign, while the Turkmen and Uzbek Services provided in-the-field coverage of the cotton harvest, where residents of all ages are forced into, and sometimes die while, picking the economically vital cotton crop.
The Uzbek Service's trailblazing efforts with Internet mobile delivery and social media have given it one of RFE/RL's largest audiences on the web, and valuable reporting tools as well. The Service broke stories about government corruption involving family members of President Islam Karimov, and its use of the WhatsApp service allowed it to discover and report on the apparent rape of a gay Uzbek man in Russia by Uzbek vigilantes.
The Turkmen Service is the only international medium airing original multi-media reporting from inside Turkmenistan–despite the fact that it is not allowed to have a bureau or accredited journalists within the country. Audiences for the Turkmen Service's web products have grown by a factor of seven in the past year. The Service's coverage of homelessness, housing conditions, and travel restrictions on Turkmen citizens has prompted government action to improve facilities and social services, while its reporting on human rights cases has helped bring about the release of activists and journalists from prison.
According to a local research center, 60 percent of the news in local media is sourced to RFE/RL's Tajik Service, which serves as the country's primary source of news and information. The Association of Internet Providers in Tajikistan ranked Radio Ozodi among the five most-read websites in Tajikistan in 2013, while the Civil Initiative and Internet Policy Organization, an NGO, also ranked ozodi.org among the country's top five websites in 2013 and 2012.
The Kyrgyz Service's two TV shows reach a quarter of the population every week, with such stories as an investigation into efforts by the Tablighi Jamaat movement to recruit young Kyrgyz by offering them a free Islamic education in Bangladesh, and reporting on corruption and cronyism within the country's political elite.
The Armenian Service broke new ground in the use of web-based technologies to reach its audience, bringing live Internet video coverage of presidential campaign rallies, election night controversies and post-election turmoil, and other major events including the country's annual commemoration of Genocide Remembrance Day was picked up by numerous local TV stations and popular news sites.
The Azerbaijani Service built on its reputation as Azerbaijan's leading independent media, providing exclusive live coverage of violent protests in Baku and Ismayilli, government corruption, and the destruction of historical sites, and comprehensive coverage of the October presidential election and reports of election fraud, carousel voting, and other irregularities.
The Balkan Service's regional approach to news coverage paid dividends as it sent a Serbian-speaking Kosovar to cover the first meeting between leaders of Serbia and Kosovo in February, reinforcing the message of post-war reconciliation. Many listeners contacted the Service after it reported on a retired Serbian who, for the past 10 years, has led groups of cyclists on a 470-kilometer ride for reconciliation from Serbia to Bosnia. They told the Balkan Service that the report helped them understand they can each do more to "rebuild the destroyed bridge of friendship" between the peoples of the former Yugoslavia than could their political leaders.
Radio Mashaal's mission to counter extremism in Pakistan's remote tribal regions was on full display in its coverage of the October attack on schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai. Radio Mashaal provided coverage that was original and infused with an intimate understanding of the region and the political forces at play in a story that quickly went global. In such areas, where communities are controlled by militants and subject to their propaganda, Radio Mashaal journalists themselves work under threat and at great personal risk.
Radio Farda's award-winning series Solitary Confinement and Born in Prison, documenting first-hand stories of Iranian political prisoners, exemplified the service's role in addressing developments both inside and outside Iran that are banned in the official press. Vigorous social media programming, The Sixth Hour call-in show, and a newly launched TV format increased its capacity to engage Iranians directly on political, social, cultural, economic "and security issues they define as important.
Radio Azadi is recognized as Afghanistan's surrogate national public broadcaster, reaching more than 60 percent of the country's adult population with trusted, in-depth coverage of issues affecting their communities and their country. In daily reporting about schools, water, transportation, domestic violence, local conflict, public health, unemployment and refugees, Azadi shines a spotlight on real problems, engages its audience in informed discussion, facilitates responses from local officials and promotes public accountability. It has become the standard-bearer of professional journalism in Afghanistan while contributing to a culture of public participation, pluralism and debate.
The Kyrgyz service has positioned itself as an informed and enterprising multimedia outlet that delivers news with impact. A story on violence within the Kyrgyz émigré community in Russia broke a social taboo, while a radio documentary on the country's Sulukta coal mines highlighted the scourge of poverty in the south and prompted local advocacy groups to act. The service has pioneered the practice of live field-based reporting and has received grants to train media in other countries on its techniques.
Despite an increasingly hostile media environment, the Tajik Service exemplified the role of an independent, investigative news organization with unstinting reporting on military operations, security issues and social problems during the year. The service's award-winning website was blocked on several occasions as authorities attempted to control the flow of unsanctioned news inside the country.
The Kazakh Service's coverage of political, social, economic and environmental issues, epitomized in its coverage of violent clashes in Zhanaozen and the resulting trials and aftermath, demonstrated its role as an essential source of independent and verifiable information dedicated to local news in the Kazakh language.
The Belarus Service is a leading innovator at RFE/RL, continually pioneering new platforms to provide audiences with access to news, satire, investigative reports and vigorous policy debate. The service published another book in a series celebrating the country's human rights defenders. A prison manual published by the service was a survival manual for listeners behind bars.
Radio Azatliq's prominence as Azerbaijan's leading provider of independent news received a boost earlier in the year with an exposé capturing police taking bribes on film. After the video went viral the officers were fired. The service's Corruption Meter and investigative reports on the financial holdings of the ruling family added to its reputation as a source of intrepid, public interest journalism.
The Russian Service reported extensively on the societal ferment that accompanied Vladimir Putin's return to the presidency. Covering major opposition protests, the verdict against the musicians of "Pussy Riot", and the ban on adoptions by Americans, the service drew on its vast freelance network and depth of experience. Because virtually all international radio delivery ended due to a change in law, the Service began pursuing an enhanced digital strategy to bring together Russia's atomized society through multimedia, web-based content from across regions and social strata.
The Ukrainian Service delivered high-profile and high-impact coverage of the October parliamentary elections to as many as one million users on a mix of platforms, showcasing a decisive shift toward a digital distribution strategy. For days after the polls closed correspondents remained on the spot, broadcasting direct from a precinct where a balloting dispute raged, setting a new standard for live coverage and access.
Correspondent Janyl Chytyrbaeva received a "Highly Commended" award in the category of "Best Investigative Radio Documentary" from the Association for International Broadcasting for her report on women who had been victims of rape during the ethnic violence in Kyrgyzstan in June 2010.
RFE/RL journalist Janarbek Akaev was voted Kyrgyzstan's best TV presenter for the second year running, in a competition sponsored by Kyrgyzstan's most popular newspaper.
- RFE /RL 's Radio Azadi continues to be Afghanistan's most popular media outlet, reaching 62 percent of the adult population with a unique blend of call-in programs, news reporting and user-generated content. Nearly 500,000 Afghans receive Radio Azadi mobile phone news updates and send citizen journalism reports to the station via a free subscription-based SMS service. "Over the years, local media outlets routinely censored our news. But Radio Azadi always aired the news as it was. It has always been the best place to obtain objective facts." – Dr. Zamai Zabuli, Chairman of the Complaints Committee of the Afghanistan Senate.
- In early 2012, RFE /RL 's Radio Mashaal will mark two years of broadcasting in the tribal areas of Northwest Pakistan. With its extensive network of local reporters, it provided unique and comprehensive coverage of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden in May 2011 and broke the news of a Pakistani terror group's claim of responsibility for the December 2011 Ashura bombing.
- Correspondent Shaheen Buneri won a 2011 Persephone Miel Fellowship from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, with which he traveled to the Swat Valley to report on tensions there.

- Banned from Azerbaijan's FM airwaves, RFE /RL 's Radio Azadliq embraced the Internet as a primary delivery platform where its award-winning satire show, "250 Seconds+" has become a hit. The service launched an unscripted show simulcast live on Facebook, the Service's website, and Livestream TV that is fueled by audience interactions via Facebook and Twitter.
- Several RFE /RL journalists were harassed, detained and fined while trying to cover the "silent protests" against President Alyaksandr Lukashenka's government in Belarus in June and July. During live coverage, RFE /RL 's Belarusian Service website suffered a suspected distributed denial of service attack ("DD oS") and later a malicious cloning of its YouTube page.
- In 2011, RFE /RL became one of the most popular non-profit channels on the entire YouTube site as many of the country's TV outlets used its pioneering live streams and Internet video reports in their nightly newscasts The Yerevan Press Club recognized web editor Artur Papian with its coveted Annual Award for his contributions to digital media development in Armenia.
- The aggressive Internet strategy employed by RFE /RL 's Radio Svoboda has increased its visibility by making use of new media tools such as Twitter and Facebook to foster citizen journalism and to promote civil society development. RFE /RL provided extensive coverage of the Khimki Forest demonstrations and innovative reporting on the legal woes of imprisoned former oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Traffic to its website increased by 40% during the post-election protests in December 2011, as the station covered events with live-streamed video, photo galleries, and blogs.
- RFE /RL was among the first to reveal to the outside world the true dimensions of a massive explosion at a munitions plant in July that the Turkmen government tried to cover up. Two months later, RFE /RL 's reporter Dovletmyrat Yazkuliyev was arrested and jailed on dubious charges. Following intense international pressure, Turkmen authorities pardoned him.
- Other initiatives included crowd-mapping election fraud in Kazakhstan, livetweeting the trial of two former state media employees in Uzbekistan, and extensively reporting on the case of two Tajik workers murdered in Russia. In Kyrgyzstan, RFE /RL reaches more than 30 percent of adults with a mixture of radio, Internet and television programs.
- Correspondent Janyl Chytyrbaeva received a "Highly Commended" award in the category of "Best Investigative Radio Documentary" from the Association for International Broadcasting for her report on women who had been victims of rape during the ethnic violence in Kyrgyzstan in June 2010.
RFE/RL journalist Janarbek Akaev was voted Kyrgyzstan's best TV presenter for the second year running, in a competition sponsored by Kyrgyzstan's most popular newspaper.
- RFE's newest service, Radio Mashaal, was launched in 2010 and broadcasts to Pakistan's Pashtun heartland along the border with Afghanistan. Radio Mashaal has quickly become a trusted source of news in the region.
- RFE's Afghan service Radio Azadi is one of the most popular media outlets in Afghanistan, with a market share of close to 50%. In 2010, the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. launched an exhibit of some of the thousands of handwritten scrolls and letters sent to Radio Azadi by listeners.
- The website of RFE's Persian-language service, Radio Farda, receives over 19 million page views every month – many of them via anti-filtering software – and also maintains one of the most popular Iranian Facebook pages.
- RFE/RL's Radio Svoboda is the leading international broadcaster in Russia and a key alternative to state-controlled media. Radio Svoboda is attracting a growing audience on the radio and the web, with an average of 3.5 million visitors and nearly 8 million page views per month in FY2011.
- Awards: "Highly Commended" in the "Best Investigative Documentary" category (AIB Awards 2010, Radio Azadi, RFE's Afghan Service) – "Silver Microphone" award recognizing achievements of women (February 2010, RFE's Armenian Service) – Rafto Prize for human rights reporting (2009, RFE's Azerbaijani Service) – Online News Association's award for excellence in online journalism (2009, RFE's Kazakh Service)
- Millions of Iranians voted in a hotly disputed presidential election in June. Post-election protests have grown into the most serious challenge to Iran's theocratic rulers in the past 30 years. Despite the government's intense efforts to jam broadcasts and block access to its website, RFE/RL's Radio Farda was a vital source of up-to-the-minute, independent news for Iranians about the protests and government crackdown. Media outlets such as CNN, Fox News, and Sky News turned to RFE/RL's Iran experts for insight into the protest movement."
- Just days before Afghanistan's August presidential election, RFE/RL's Radio Free Afghanistan – the country's most popular news source – hosted the first live presidential debate in Afghan history. The debate capped Radio Free Afghanistan's unique and comprehensive reporting on the election campaign during which it organized roundtables and interviews with all 41 candidates.
- Despite a ban on local rebroadcasting, the Azerbaijani Service used its website and innovative marketing strategies to deliver hard-hitting news. Reporters in Baku obtained video clips of election fraud and reported on eyewitness accounts of fraud during the controversial March referendum that abolished presidential term limits. The service's coverage earned it the 2009 Association for International Broadcasting (AIB) Media Excellence Award for "Best Radio Coverage of a Single News Event."
- In Russia, RFE/RL continued to serve as a vital resource for audiences seeking news not shaped by the Kremlin. Throughout the year, RFE/RL's Russian Service provided balanced news and analysis on the relations between President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and covered the epidemic of kidnappings and killings in Chechnya.
- In November, RFE/RL launched "Echo of the Caucasus," a daily hour-long news program in Russian to the breakaway Georgian regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. It also features a Russian-language website with news, photos, audio, and video. In late 2009, RFE/RL prepared for the January 2010 launch of Pashto-language programming to Pakistan and the border regions between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The new station – called Radio Mashaal (Torch) offers an alternative to the growing number of Islamic extremist radio stations in the region.
- In February, RFE/RL aired its first program from a new, state-of-the-art broadcast headquarters in Prague. The five-story, 236,000 square-foot center features multimedia recording studios, interlinking offices, and a modern newsroom.
- The number of visits and page views on RFE/RL's Internet websites nearly doubled in 2009, thanks to the full implementation of a new Web content management system that offers visitors more interactivity, more video and graphic content, and more user-generated content. RFE/RL also expanded into social networking, with Radio Farda's Farsi-language fan page becoming one of Facebook's most popular Iran-related pages.
- RFE's journalists won over 20 regional and international journalism awards in 2010.
- Balkans Service journalist Omer Karabeg, once branded a "traitor" by Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, was presented the prestigious Dr. Erhard Busek-SEEMO Award for Better Understanding in South East Europe.
- Two RFE reporters in Kazakhstan earned a major journalism prize from the Institute for War & Peace Reporting for their "outstanding coverage of the human rights issue in Central Asia."
- The Association for International Broadcasting (AIB) recognized RFE journalists from Ukraine, Afghanistan, and Moldova for journalistic excellence.
- The updated website of RFE/RL's Kazakh Service won an Online News Association (ONA) award in November for excellence in online journalism. Radio Free Afghanistan's redesigned website had a 400 percent increase in page views, with most of its visits coming from the region – Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran.
- In April, the Moldova Service used radio, video, and photos to cover the so-called "Twitter Revolution," when thousands of young demonstrators clashed with police and ransacked government buildings to protest the Communist Party's victory in national elections. Three Chisinau-based correspondents received the Eurasia Foundation's Journalism Prize for providing the most "balanced" and "comprehensive" coverage of the elections.
- Azerbaijani Service reporter Malahat Nasibova received the Rafto Prize for her reporting on human rights violations and abuses of power in her native province of Nakhichevan.
