Saturday 8 November 1997
The values of the Sixties become the business of the Nineties
Left-wing capitalists
Once upon a time, the radical political activist turned fitness guru would have excited a feeding frenzy among the entertainment and style journos, but she now stands in the shadow of her equally famous husband, Ted Turner, the founder of CNN. He is neither an Oscar winner nor ravishingly beautiful, but he is the one who really matters in this duo.
Commerce can now rival art for star value; Miss Fonda ruefully acknowledged as much, remarking that even as an actress she had had little idea of where much of the genius in her industry sat. It was only after getting involved with Ted and "the Wall Street boys" - and she nodded towards her husband with something approaching awe - that she had begun to understand that far from being a bunch of boring accountants, the creators of our new media industries are amongst the most inventive and creative people on the planet.
Turner, like many modern businessmen of his stamp, is not a bean-counter; he is a vision man, with big ideas about the world. The business is merely a means to help deliver the world he can see in his head.
The story of CNN is well known. Turner started a news business that everyone thought would fail, led it to world domination, and then sold it for billions. His good ol' boy style grates on some, but that didn't prevent virtually the whole of the UK's media establishment showing up at a glittering fireworks party to pay homage. There was one notable absentee - Rupert Murdoch, whom Turner loathes with passion - for this was a gathering of a new type of business leader, who may, for all Murdoch's brilliance, one day eclipse his kind.
In one corner stood Gerry Robinson, boss of Granada, who appeared in Labour's famous election broadcast to business; in another, Clive Hollick, the moneybags behind some of New Labour's think-tanks; and, casually threading his way through the throng was Srichand, the elder statesman of the Hinduja dynasty, even richer than Turner himself. He is a member of one of India's most socially conscious families, passionate about healing the social and spiritual divisions of the south Asian tribe.
One might name others who were not there - George Soros, who has turned much of his vast wealth to rescuing Eastern Europe; and perhaps Anita Roddick, who this week claimed victory for one of her many campaigns, the drive to stop cosmetics being tested on animals.
What is most interesting about these men and women is not that they have social consciences, or that they give money to good causes. Capitalists have done that for decades; the inter-war moguls recognised that a return to the extreme poverty and division presided over by the Romanovs would only provide fuel to revolution. Any amount spent on blunting the edge of that threat was an investment.
The new, left-wing capitalists have precisely the opposite agenda. They are all fearsomely clever people who could probably make, in any number of ways, more money than they could ever spend; but it is becoming clear that they run businesses because they want the world to change.
In short, old capitalism ventured into social affairs in order to protect its business agenda; new capitalism runs businesses in order to advance its social agenda. And this is more than just handing out a few bob, though Turner's billion-dollar commitment to the UN is astonishing in itself.
Listen to them talking, and you hear men and women who regard profit and loss not as ends in themselves, but as tools to realise a world vision. It is no accident that many of them had their formation in the late Sixties and early Seventies, when Jane Fonda was politically active; they grew up believing that the world could be changed for the better by the action of people of vision and determination. Their heroes were not Ford or Hearst, but Kennedy, King and Mandela.
It is also no accident that so many of them are involved in new technology, media and services. Not only are these the fastest-growing sectors; they are also the businesses that allow you the chance to communicate basic values. An oil well or a steel factory may generate the cash to allow to be generous to charity; but computer software, films and television also allow you to put your vision of the world directly to the consumer.
In the US, Gates and Turner can hardly open their mouths without sounding the echo of McLuhan's global village. Domestically, Pearson's Greg Dyke and Scottish TV's Gus Macdonald started their working lives as left-wing activists; it's no surprise to see the former popping up to put the NHS to rights, and the latter virtually declaring Scotland a no-go area for English media companies.
The most articulate advocate of business as a form of political activism is probably Anita Roddick. She is a former teacher, and worked for a while at the International Labour Organisation. In an unreported speech she gave this week, she laid out in detail how she saw her business less as a means of satisfying the consumer and more as a way of engaging them with a defence of the environment and of human rights. It works, though no doubt her city backers could do without petitions in the shops, and the expensive but ethical purchasing policies that deprive them of even greater returns. Never mind; Ms Roddick seems to have captured the Zeitgeist of women in today's society, particularly the young. The money rolls in, irrespective of whether or not it helps the Ogoni people.
No wonder New Labour is so enthusiastic about business. Some of the most active exponents of Blairite values are precisely the sort of people who would have been the object of ritual attack in any self-respecting left-wing gathering 10 years ago. Yet today, it is people such as Clive Hollick, Greg Dyke and Anita Roddick who are most passionate about Labour's agenda for equality and social inclusion; and these men and women put their money where their mouths are; it is the left-wing capitalists who are most impatient with what they see as Labour's temporising on the social justice elements of The Project.
However, we should also feel uneasy. We may grow to love left-wing capitalism, with its commitment to equal opportunity, the environment, international friendship, and all that good stuff. But governments have a role, too. Globalisation has transformed these men and women into something new. Unlike the old capitalists, today's major businesses operate across the globe, and owe no loyalty to any one government. The brilliant stars of 21st-century commerce will be above the reach of governments; Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch, Ted Turner sit with prime ministers and presidents, and neither they nor anyone else is sure who holds the reins of power; no one can say who really is the supplicant.
The left-wing capitalist may be a democrat and a liberator. He or she may well be the most creative force on earth, dedicated to shaping a better world. But are we in danger of allowing the globe to be their personal canvas, the media their own clay? And are we becoming actors on the stage of their dreams; and are our elected representatives simply mouthing their lines?

Muscular Dystrophy Campaign puts Translarna in the parliamentary spotlight
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Yesterday's All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Muscular Dystrophy meeting organised by the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign gave MPs and Peers the opportunity to discuss last month's announcement that the European Medicines Agency is recommending that Duchenne muscular dystrophy drug Ataluren (now to be known as Translarna) receives conditional approval.
Baroness Thomas of Winchester, a Trustee of the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, and Mary Glindon MP, jointly chaired the session at which a panel of experts from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency and NHS England were challenged by parliamentarians on ensuring that Translarna is approved and commissioned for availability to patients as soon as possible.
The panel included:
- Dr Siu Ping Lam, Director of Licensing, Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency
- Greg Markey, UK MHRA Representative on the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP), European Medicines Agency
- Paul McManus, Lead Pharmacist - specialised services (South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw), NHS England
On 23 May the European Medicines Agency announced that it will recommend that Duchenne muscular dystrophy drug ataluren receives conditional approval. The next step will be for the European Commission to review this decision. Ataluren has been developed by PTC Therapeutics to overcome a specific change in the DNA called a nonsense mutation which causes 10-15% of cases of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Translarna, as the drug will now be known will be the first ever drug to treat an underlying genetic cause of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in children and young people affected, outside of a clinical trial.
Translarna may have the potential to treat around 200 individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy in the UK (of a total of around 2,400). The next step for the drug will be for the European Commission to decide whether to grant a conditional licence (which normally takes approximately three months).
Find out more in our frequently asked questions section on Translarna.
The topics of discussion at the APPG session included:
- an overview of the conditional approval announcement for Translarna
- the extent of the licence for Translarna
- the process for accelerated review in Europe for drugs proceeding to accelerated approval in the USA
- the new Early Access to Medicines Scheme and adaptive licensing pilot project
- cost assessment and funding for the treatment
- involvement of Clinical Reference Groups
Following the conclusion of the meeting, the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign held a meeting with the National Institute for Care Excellence (NICE) to establish how they might be involved in the assessment for Translarna in providing an evidence summary assessment.
The next stage of the process will be ensuring a 'commissioning policy' is set up by NHS England over the next few months with a health economic assessment carried out, and the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign will be meeting with NHS England on Friday to discuss the timeframes for Translarna and the details for the 'commissioning policy'.

Step 1
Open the edges on the sides and bottom of package, flatten the package by pressing sides together.
Step 2
Cut off the bottom and the top of the package
Step 3
Look for the line where the package was glued together. The side with the line will be inside of the wallet. Fold the bottom part up, leave about 1/3 free at the top. This 1/3 needs to be cut off. Leave the lap on the front!
Step 4
Use the colourful adhesive tape to cover all sides and edges. You can use different colours
Step 5
Fold the sides to the inside. Fold the package into the shape of the wallet
Step 6
Use small stapler to connect the middle part together. Stick self-adhesive hook and loop fastener onto the wallet
Step 7
That's it, your wallet is ready!

Comment posted RIP Helensburgh town centre: Waitrose out of town location approved by Robert Wakeham.
It's easy to grump about the Co-op, but despite the muttering it does serve Argyll pretty well – and I don't think I'm imagining it to say that it's improved its 'offer' steadily over the years
Robert Wakeham also commented
- It's surely unlikely that Waitrose – despite its 'value' range – will put the town centre Co-op out of business, isn't it?
- So what does the Co-op need to do to improve its service – and doesn't Helensburgh support a reasonable deli in the town?
- A 'Helensburger'? – now there's an idea.
- I wonder whether 'mitgation' acted as the proverbial carrot?
- Too right that 'no one wants to see Helensburgh die on its feet', but could there be other factors involved in the decline of the town centre? Only last week the boss of Sainsburys (probably aiming at the planners) suggested that town centres abandoned by the retail sector should concentrate on residential uses, and – however brutal and self-serving that suggestion – he was probably right, for some places. Maybe this will be a wake-up call for Helensburgh – it's slightly off the beaten track, maybe not much more than a Glasgow commuter suburb disguised as a town? – and unfortunately has become cut off from fellow communities on the shores of the lower Clyde. That's the impression I get, as an outsider.
Recent comments by Robert Wakeham

I was referring to your qualities (or lack thereof), wee fat guy.
- Open minded new Transport Minister offers hope to Coastguard SOS campaign
There could be an analogy with a BBC Radio 4 report today on the trials & tribulations of the Royal Bank of Scotland's computer system, whereby large numbers of back office specialist staff were 'let go' in the interests of efficiency, with the fairly rapid (predictable?) achievement of mainframe meltdown.
Heaven forbid there's meltdown in the Coastguard service – perhaps, like today's proposal from Ed Balls to allocate £1 billion of the banking fines to rescue the NHS – the £56 million RBS fine for their computer crash should be allocated to the Coastguard..

If I were to be cynical, I'd say that it was just an arse-covering exercise, but since I'm not cynical I'll just say that it's incumbent on drivers to keep an eye out for stuff coming down the mountain out of the dark, while at the same time avoiding colliding head-on with traffic coming in the other direction.

WU has an ongoing P/E of 11.10, which indicates that it is pretty undervalued. The technical indicator at stoxline website shows buying signal with the $20.09 target price in six months.
I see an EPS beat and a guidance upgrade at next EPS. 37 cents + 36 cents + 39 cents = $1.12. Pick a number for 4Q and call it 38 cents, that's $1.50 (I don't think 32 cents is a realistic estimate even with additional compliance expense). The money transfer market is estimated to be growing at 7% annually. That would cover the compliance cost increase. But in my opinion, WU is growing share faster than the market - 2Q and 3Q results show this.
Note that 39 cents was the EPS number in 3Q when all pricing reductions were fully implemented - yet WU grew faster than the market even in non-pricing-reduced corridors! "Walgreens, China, India" investors.

It seems inevitable that the highly acclaimed, virtuosic pianist-composer Gwilym Simcock and multi-award winning double bassist-composer Yuri Goloubev would one day record together in a duo once their paths had crossed. That moment has come with the new recording Reverie at Schloss Elmau. On this exquisite duo recording, they have certainly reached a new peak in that ambition.

5 Signs You May Be Dehydrated
Working out hard under the hot sun? Watch for these warning signs that your body's too low on H20.
4. Your muscles are cramping
Ever notice that you get more muscle cramps during the summer months? When you get super sweaty during a workout, you're not just pumping water out of your pores; your body's also flushing out electrolytes likes sodium and potassium. Electrolytes are essential to proper muscle and nerve function, and when they're off balance, it's easy to end up with cramp or muscle spasm after exercise.

Strictly Ballroom (1992)
Movie Info
This wildly off-beat comedy is about a male dancer (Paul Mercurio) who refuses to follow the accepted rules of ballroom dancing and creates his own style of choreography, which infuriates the ballroom dancing establishment. Before he's scheduled to compete in the Pan-Pacific ballroom championships, he's forced to take up a new partner (Tara Morice), a beginner who initially seems without promise. With his help, she turns into an assured and wonderful dancer. Baz Luhrmann's visual style may be too bright, gaudy and exaggerated for some tastes, yet he treats his characters with compassion, which makes Strictly Ballroom such an engaging comedy. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi … More

Critic Reviews for Strictly Ballroom
All Critics (46) | Top Critics (11) | Fresh (36) | Rotten (2) | DVD (22)
so reserved for Luhrmann as a director, yet it is as fabulous and colorful as any other film out there
A crow-pleaster hat took the inernational festival circuit by storm and put Aussie filmmaker Luhrmann on the map as a talent to watch.
Listen to the rhythm of your heart in Strictly Ballroom, where tears and laughter blend seamlessly in an extravagantly theatrical story about love, dreams and overcoming your fears.
An Australian classic - and deservedly so!
fabulous comedy-romance
The exuberant film was breezy, well-acted and easy to like even if it was fluff.
Though made for a fraction of [Moulin Rouge]'s budget and with no big stars,Strictly Ballroom is the better film in every way.
Lots of laughs, lots of style: Strictly Ballroom is a wonderful prelude to Luhrmann's next two films.
More fun for ballroom enthusiasts than for the rest of us; cheeky, but totally overloaded.
Great dance movie and a preview of what Lurhmann will be capable of in the future.
Kind of like Luhrmann Meets John Waters. Great fun.
Funny, charming and energetic. Baz Lurhman's warm-up to MOULIN ROUGE.
An occasional lack of coherence inhibits our ability to truly embrace the actors and their twinkle-toed exploits
A delightful confection from Baz Luhrmann, fresher and lighter on its feet than Moulin Rouge!
The plot is predictable, to be sure, but it's fun to follow along... Highly enjoyable no matter what one's taste in music or dance.
Ten years ago, Baz Luhrmann made a quirky film version of a play based on his childhood experiences
A feel good movie about two daring souls who break new ground by not letting fear close them down.
There's no denying that it's also an all-around crowd-pleaser, offering as much excitement and emotion as any movie in recent months.
Audience Reviews for Strictly Ballroom
"Vivir con miedo es como vivir en medias."
I thoroughly enjoyed this film!! It was bright! It was jazzy! It was fun! It was unique! And above all.... AUSTRALIAN! Baz Luhrmann will never cease to visually dazzle me. Gorgeous and sweet!

A weird assortment of motley characters who don't really have a purpose in the story other than to be weird. I liked the dancing, and Baz Luhrmann's...don't know how to describe it, Japanese game show...? visuals were to say in the least, original. But, it's not much of a story, and I don't think it ever is with Luhrmann actually (Moulin Rouge = courtesan dies, Romeo and Juliet = they both die, this one = nobody dies but they hook up, which is good), and it's sort of funny sometimes but I guess I don't really GET Australian humor so I don't know. On the fence with this one. Paul Mercurio is super sexy, nevertheless.More

With a court-ordered auction set for Sept. 29, organizers of a Keep the Feith Family Ozaukee YMCA fundraising campaign are scrambling to raise $1 million to support the Kettle Moraine YMCA's $2 million offer to purchase the facility. A bankruptcy court judge on Tuesday set forth procedures for the auction of both the Feith Family Ozaukee and the Waukesha YMCAs, with a closing date for the sales set for Oct. 15. The Keep the Feith campaign on Tuesday announced its first major gift, a $100,000 challenge grant from the Charter Manufacturing Co. Foundation. "That's an incredible first gift," said Rob Johnson, executive director of the Kettle Moraine YMCA, which has offered to buy the Saukville facility for $2 million. "Helping to save the YMCA 15 years after they invested in the Y the first time around shows the level of commitment they have to the community." With the auction for the Feith Family YMCA set, Kettle Moraine has just more than a month to raise not just the $500,000 it pledged for the purchase — it will borrow the remaining $1.5 million — but a total of $1 million so it is in a position to try to outbid others seeking to buy the facility. Kettle Moraine's $2 million offer will be the base price for the auction.

Technology meets beauty at Varicose Solutions, where the physician leads clients to flawless skin and tighter tummies. During his laser vein treatments, he uses a thin laser fiber to lessen the appearance of large varicose veins. Laser pixel sessions, meanwhile, resurface the skin to remove fine lines and shallow acne scars. The physician also eliminates moles and warts, and makes sagging skin as youthful and smooth as a laminated high-school yearbook photo with non-invasive tightening procedures. Beyond skincare, Varicose Solutions shrinks fat cells using nothing more than a small incision and an advanced laser device.

Do you study the AQA AS Biology course. Why not try the revision quizzes on my new AQA AS Biology page.
Use your student book to correct your answers and keep trying the quizzes everyday to improve.
Welcome to MrExham.com, an online blog designed for students, teachers and anyone who loves anything Biology!
The primary aim of my blog is to create an information resource for pupils studying Biology IGCSE, A Level and the International Baccalaureate (IB). I will also be regularly posting links to anything in the Biology world that I find interesting, be it news stories, articles, videos, or games, in the hope that Mr Exham will inspire YOU to Make Sense of Biology.
If you have any questions please email me.
I am pleased to announce that I have now completed a PowerPoint for every topic in the Edexcel IGCSE Biology Course. They can be conveniently downloaded in one file containing over 750 original slides.
Click on the image to download it now!
Over the next few months I will be checking the IGCSE pages and updating video links. I will then begin work on the new linear A Level for 2015.
Any feedback or requests for new resources please email me
I have been meaning to write this post for a while in order to let you know what the plans are going forward for mrexham.com, and this week seemed like as good a time as any with the GCSE results coming out and a new academic year starting.
Firstly I would like to thank everyone who has used the website in the last year, I have received some great emails and tweets and I am really glad that it's been useful to so many people. I've now decided to take mrexham.com in a few different directions. Firstly I am making some of my key resources, which take the most time and effort to make, available to purchase through sellfy.com. This has meant spending more time on these resources to make them as clear and informative as possible, and it has also given me the impetus to make more of them! There will soon be a PowerPoint for each section of the IGCSE course along with revision quizzes.
I will continue to make free resources as well, including Quizlets, revision sheets, YouTube dissections, practical demonstrations, worksheets and I also intend to write Socrative quizzes for teachers.
Given that there will be a new A-Level starting in 2015 (read the Ofqual announcement here) I will no longer be adding to the current A-Level pages and resources. Instead I will focus on making new resources ready for the launch of the new linear A-Level next year. I will also be blogging about the various courses and exam boards offering Biology A-Level as my department make their decision about which to choose.
Thank you once again for all the positive feedback and please let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see on mrexham.com!

And finally, here's a hilarious video from Steve Spangler conducting a simple halloween science experiment to make oozing pumpkins.
Recently in my department we have been using modelling clay to help animate complex biological processes that students find hard to visualise and learn. It's very simple to do, all you need is some modelling clay, a smartphone or digital camera, some pens and paper and some basic video editing software like iMovie or Windows Movie Maker. To make the animations as smooth as possible the students should take as many still frames as they can. These are then put into the software and text, music and transitions are all added. It can be done in the class in small groups or for a homework task. Below are two examples of processes that this works particularly well for meiosis and protein synthesis.
Protein Synthesis:
Other biology topics that this technique would be useful for include: movement of substances across membranes, the nephron, genetic engineering of human insulin, action potentials, respiration, photosynthesis, enzymes and many more.
Tomorrow Mr Exham will be taking part in the Bang Goes The Borders Science Festival. It is a free event held at St. Mary's School, Melrose between 10am and 4pm. There are all sorts of fantastic workshops and events taking place throughout the day. Leading Universities such as The University of Edinburgh, Newcastle University and Herriot-Watt are all taking part as well some of the leading schools from Scotland and the North of England such as Fettes College.
Mr Exham will be running four workshops throughout the day (10:45, 12:00, 14:00, 15:00) where you will be able to extract your own DNA from your cheek cells and put it into a wearable pendant. Click on the image below to view the Prezi that I will be using for my workshops.

Today in London the first ever lab-grown hamburger was cooked and eaten. Would you eat meat grown in a lab? Before you answer the question you should know more about how the burger was made and more importantly, why?
How the burger was made?
It was made by Professor Mark Post from Maastricht University in Holland using using stem cells taken from a dead cow. These are muscle specific stem cells that are then provided with nutrients so that they can divide over and over again by mitosis. The cells naturally come together to form small fibres called myotubes. These are electrically stimulated to make them contract and relax, this builds the muscle fibres just like going to the gym. They are then combined with fat grown in a lab and a few other additives such as beetroot for colour and then pressed into a burger. Therefore only a few cells are needed to make a whole burger, and potentially tons of meat.
Watch the video below to learn more about stem cells.
Why was the burger made?
Watch this video to see a nice summary of these issues.
What are the problems with lab-grown meat?
So now you know the details, have you made up your mind? If you're still not sure watch this TED talk by Prof Mark Post and see if he can convince you.
Please comment below with your opinions on this amazing scientific development.
Plant reproduction is often seen as dull and boring compared to animal reproduction but it's actually incredibly interesting. The lastest video to be uploaded to my YouTube channel shows me dissecting a flower to help you learn about it's anatomy and how the two processes of pollination and fertilisation occur.
If you'd like to learn more about the life cycle of a plant including seed growth and dispersal, why don't you click here and work your way through the great animations and activities available. You could also test your knowledge of flower anatomy by trying this quick quiz.
It's important to remember that pollination is not just carried out by bees, watch this amazing video on YouTube about 'The Beauty of Pollination'. There is some fantastic footage of insects and birds collecting pollen from anthers.
I know a lot of recent visitors to the website have enjoyed using Quizlet to help with their revision. For anyone who hasn't used Quizlet before you can learn what it is, and how to use it, by clicking here. There are now two new quizes available to help you revise Food and Digestion, just click on the links below to access them:
IGCSE Biology – Nutrition and Biochemistry
IGCSE Biology – Digestion and Enzymes
For anyone studying this topic I'd recommend watching Hank Green's YouTube video below. He will take you on a crash course through the bowels of the human digestive system and explain why it's all about surface area!
Hank's YouTube channel is a great resource for anyone studying Biology, it has 40 different videos covering topics such as photosynthesis, meiosis, natural selection and ecology. Why don't you check it out!

68 Killed in Militant Attack on Nairobi Mall
An armed standoff is continuing at a mall in Nairobi, Kenya, where al-Qaeda-linked militants have taken hostages in a deadly rampage. At least 68 people have died and nearly 200 have been wounded since armed gunmen with Somalia's al-Shabab stormed the shopping center on Saturday. Explosions and black smoke were seen at the mall today as Kenyan forces tried to enter. Al-Shabab says it launched the attack in response to Kenya's role in the African Union peacekeeping force in neighboring Somalia. Kenyan forces entered Somalia two years ago to help the fight al-Shabab militants. At the United Nations, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: "I condemn in the strongest terms yesterday's terrorist attacks in Nairobi's Westgate Mall. This premeditated act targeting defenseless civilians is totally reprehensible. The perpetrators must be brought to justice as soon as possible. Scores have been killed and wounded. I express my condolences to families of the deceased and injured and to the loved ones of all those of other nationalities who are among the victims."
There have been unconfirmed reports at least three of the al-Shabab gunmen are Americans. The assault on the Westgate Mall marks the worst single attack in Kenya since the bombing of the U.S. embassy in 1998.
78 Killed in Bombing of Pakistani Church; Militants Blame Drone War
At least 78 people were killed in Pakistan on Sunday when a pair of suicide bombers attacked worshipers outside a church in the city of Peshawar. Another 100 people were wounded. It was the deadliest-ever attack on Christians in Pakistan. The militant group TTP Jundullah claimed responsibility and said the bombing was retaliation for U.S. drone attacks inside Pakistan. A spokesperson told the Associated Press the group will continue to attack non-Muslims in Pakistan until the U.S. drone war stops. At least six people were reportedly killed on Sunday when a U.S. drone hit alleged militants in Pakistan's North Waziristan region.
Over 120 Killed in Iraq Violence
A weekend of violence in Iraq has left at least 120 people dead. At least 104 were killed on Saturday in one of Iraq's deadliest days this year. Iraq is facing its bloodiest period since the Sunni-Shia fighting between 2006 and 2008, a civil war sparked by the U.S. invasion. More than 4,000 people were killed in Iraq between April and August.

Russia is accusing the United States of exploiting the Syria chemical weapons deal to push through a U.N. measure authorizing military force. The United States is leading a push for a U.N. Security Council resolution that would threaten strikes if the regime of Bashar al-Assad fails to comply with the U.S.-Russia agreement to destroy Syria's chemical stockpile. On Sunday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused the United States of "blackmail."
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov: "Our American colleagues are starting to slowly blackmail us, saying that if we won't adopt a resolution based on Chapter VII in the U.N. Security Council, then they will cease their work with Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in The Hague."
Lavrov also added that Russia has offered to send troops to ensure the safety of U.N. weapons inspectors in Syria. The Assad regime met its first deadline under the pact last week when it handed over information on its chemical stockpile.
U.S. Faces Government Shutdown as House Ties Funding to Obamacare Repeal
The United States is moving a closer to a potential government shutdown as Republicans push their effort to repeal "Obamacare." On Friday, House Republicans approved a bill that would tie the continued funding of federal agencies after this month to the defunding of the Affordable Care Act. After Friday's vote, House Speaker John Boehner urged the Senate to follow suit.
House Speaker John Boehner: "Our message to the United States Senate is real simple: The American people don't want the government shut down, and they don't want 'Obamacare.' The House has listened to the American people. Now it's time for the United States Senate to listen to them, as well."
Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas has vowed to fight for the House measure in the Senate and has backed a government shutdown if Senate Democrats reinsert "Obamacare" funding as expected. Cruz's effort has drawn criticism from a number of Republican colleagues.
Obama Warns Republicans on Debt Ceiling Vote
Republicans have also vowed to link the upcoming debate on extending the Treasury's borrowing limit to an "Obamacare" repeal. The United States is facing a deadline of around mid-October to expand the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling or face a default on its debts. Speaking in Missouri after Friday's House vote, President Obama said the U.S. risks becoming a "deadbeat" country.
President Obama: "This is the United States of America. We're not some banana republic. This is not a deadbeat nation. We don't run out on our tab. We're the world's bedrock investment. The entire world looks to us to make sure the world economy is stable. We can't — we can't just not pay our bills. And even threatening something like that is the height of irresponsibility. So what I've said is, I will not negotiate over the full faith and credit of the United States."
Obama: Gun Violence Should be a National Obsession, Spark Change
President Obama is continuing his call for renewed focus on gun control in the aftermath of two mass shootings in the past week. Speaking at a Congressional Black Caucus event on Saturday, Obama said supporters of gun control need to "get back at it" after the Senate defeat of a measure to expand background checks earlier this year. On Sunday, Obama addressed a memorial service for the 12 people killed by a gunman at the Washington Navy Yard last Monday. Obama said the nation's gun violence should "obsess" all Americans and spark political mobilization.
President Obama: "It ought to be a shock to all of us, as a nation and as a people. It ought to obsess us. It ought to lead to some sort of transformation. That's what happened in other countries when they experienced similar tragedies. In the United Kingdom, in Australia, when just a single mass shooting occurred in those countries, they understood that there was nothing ordinary about this kind of carnage. They endured great heartbreak, but they also mobilized, and they changed."
Obama spoke just days after a shooting in Chicago left 13 people injured, including a three-year-old boy. More gun violence in Chicago over the weekend left at least five people dead.
Bangladeshi Garment Workers Rally for Higher Pay
An estimated 50,000 garment workers rallied in Bangladesh on Saturday in their largest protest to date. The workers are seeking a pay increase from their current $38 a month to $103. The head of the garment workers union, Nazma Akhtar, spoke out in Dhaka.
Nazma Akhtar: "Today we are demanding 8,000 taka for the garment workers' minimum wage. As you all know, the garments workers are earning 77 percent foreign currency in this country from the women workers, but our salary is very low. They are getting 3,000 taka. So now we are demanding 8,000 taka minimum wage for the garments workers."
Bangladesh last raised its minimum wage for garment workers in 2010. The country's garment industry has come under heightened scrutiny in the aftermath of the factory collapse that killed more than 1,100 garment workers in April and a fire that killed 112 last November.
Inquiry: South African Police Lied About Marikana Killings
A commission of inquiry has found that South African police lied about last year's killing of 34 striking miners. The victims were shot dead more than a week after walking off the job at the Marikana platinum mine in a call for higher pay. Police say they opened fire after workers tried to attack them with machetes, but the miners have accused the police of committing a massacre. The shooting marked the worst mass killing in South Africa since the end of apartheid. A government-backed inquiry now says South African police have withheld and falsified evidence after reviewing a police hard drive that was only recently disclosed.
IPCC Unveils New Climate Report, Warns of 2 Degree Celsius Temperature Hike
Scientists with the world's leading scientific authority on global warming are unveiling their latest findings this week at a conference in Sweden. In its fifth assessment report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns the planet is facing a temperature rise of more than two degrees Celsius compared with pre-industrial levels over the next few decades, making parts of the planet uninhabitable.
Protests Urge Obama to "Draw the Line" on Keystone XL
Protests were held around the country on Saturday in a national day of action against the Keystone XL oil pipeline. The group 350.org says it organized some 200 rallies in nearly 50 states under the banner of "Draw the Line," urging President Obama to reject Keystone's construction.
Anglo American Drops Out of Controversial Mining Project in Alaska
A controversial mining project in Alaska is in jeopardy after losing one of its key backers. The British-based firm Anglo American has announced it is walking away from the Pebble Mine, which would dig up 186 square miles of the Alaska coast in a search for copper and gold. Critics say it would threaten waters that provide half the world's supply of sockeye salmon.
Students Charged for CUNY Protest Against Ex-CIA Chief Petraeus
Six students at the City University of New York are facing charges following their arrest last week at a protest against former CIA director and military general David Petraeus. Petraeus began teaching a course at CUNY this month following his resignation last year. Prior to heading the CIA, Petraeus commanded U.S. troops in the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan. Video footage from last week's protest shows one officer repeatedly punching a detained student in the abdomen. The students insist their protest had been peaceful and say their charges should be dropped.
Sikh Physician Attacked in Apparent Hate Crime
A Sikh physician and professor at New York's Columbia University has been attacked in an apparent hate crime. Dr. Prabhjot Singh was walking near his home in Harlem when a large group of young males confronted him, punching him repeatedly and calling him "Osama" and "terrorist." Singh suffered a fractured jaw and multiple bruises.
Transgender Teen Voted Homecoming Queen
A transgender teenage girl in Huntington Beach, California, has made history by being voted homecoming queen at her high school. Sixteen-year-old Cassidy Lynn Campbell was biologically born a male, but identifies as female. After being crowned at a school football game Friday night, Campbell said she hopes to be an inspiration for LGBT youth.
Cassidy Lynn Campbell: "Whether I won or not tonight, I was a winner from the beginning, and I already knew it. You know, I put my message out there. And if this could help one child, or more, or hundreds or thousands or millions, then it was more than worth it."
Campbell's homecoming victory came just weeks after California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a landmark measure to support transgender youth. The new law requires equal access to sex-segregated facilities and programs in public schools based on the gender preference of the student.
Hundreds Protest Neo-Nazi Takeover Attempt in North Dakota Town
Hundreds of people rallied in the small North Dakota town of Leith to protest a potential takeover by American Nazis. The neo-Nazi leader Jeff Schoep and his National Socialist Movement have voiced plans to move into Leith, buy up properties, and vote themselves in to control the local government. The town has a population of just 17 people. Sunday's anti-Nazi rally included a large contingent of Native Americans from nearby reservations.
Scott Garman: "Let's keep it peaceful. But just remember, these streets are our streets, the American people's streets. They are not the streets of the Nazis."
Chase Iron Eyes: "We know that white supremacists don't respect us. They're here in an effort to spread their hate."
Shelby Wilson: "We'll be here all night, and then we'll be back, if need be, over and over and over again."

Student winners of competition organised by the State Public Libraries Department will get a free trip to Europe, Singapore and All India as prizes, Thangam Thennarasu, School Education Minister announced here on Saturday.
Participating in the National Library Week celebrations, Mr.Thennarasu said that the Department would organise district and state-level oratorical, painting and slogan writing competitions in January annually. During the competition to be held in 2011 the top three winners would get this prize, he said.
Under this programme this year the students who have enrolled in the public libraries were eligible to participate in the competitions. The first three winners at the State-level would be offered a first prize of a free trip to Singapore, All India trip to the second prize winners and State trip to third prize winners. The competitions would be held in January next year.
Explaining the eligibility for the competitions to be held in 2011, Mr.Thennarasu said those students should have been a member in a public library for over a year and they should have visited the library at least five to six times in a month, he said.
In the last three years a total of 514 new libraries have been started and 244 libraries, which were functioning as part-time ones have been upgraded. A new digital library is coming up at Erode Sampath Nagar at a cost of Rs.1.5 crore, he said.
Similarly, a total of 8,890 books in Tamil titles and 3,850 English titles were added to the libraries in the State during this period. While the Government had spent Rs.31.5 crore for buying Tamil titles, for the English titles the Department had spent Rs.4.13 crore, he added.
Tamil Nadu was the first State in the country to introduce library cess nearly 60 years ago, said M.Kutralingam, principal secretary, School Education Department.
On the occasion the Minister distributed best librarian awards.

Pompeii Half-day Trip from Naples

Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Very good tour the guide was relaxed which made our experience much better. Excellent tour.
Our guide was excellent, providing a comprehensive and informed commentary, and made the walking experience most enjoyable and rewarding. We saw an extensive amount of the ruins, without being hurried and our guide mixed his information with good humour, making it a great experience for our whole group.
Tour was good and great place to visit. The guide was good and entertaining. He showed us around the fantastic Pompeii ruins nicely.
There was half an hour delay at the end, as one tour tourist was "lost" - so better organisation needed. But overall, would definitely recommend.
Absolute fabulous. Our guide was amazing - full of information and anecdotes. He really knew his stuff.
It was excellent. Guide was very knowledgeable.
Enjoyed it very much. Thankyou.
The tour was very interesting, well organized, carried out according to the schedule - and the guide was very good.
A great tour,Highly Recommended, next time I travel I will be using the Viator Tour again. Every body was very nice and always on time.
Excellent tour! The tour guide was very informative and funny.
We travelled down from Rome and as per instructions were picked up outside the Star Hotel entrance on time. We knew that Pompeii was a large city but once you're there the vastness is quite astounding!! There is no way we could have done it justice on our own.......it's too big! This tour does not cover the entire city but it will give you a "taste" of Pompeii. Our tour guide was Susie and she was very knowledgeable.
As previous reviews it is vital that you wear comfortable shoes and take plenty of water (we visited in August) the heat is unrelenting! We highly recommend this tour, it was worth every penny!
Wonderful tour our guide was amazing. Very organized and would recommend it to my friends. Half day was enough to see the things we wanted to see.
This tour was amazing!
Our guide was fantastic, and the tour was worth every penny. I highly recommend it.
The Tour Guide was very knoledgeable and spoke clearly in English. The drive and vehicle was very comfortable ( even on Naples city roads!)
This was an excellent tour. The guide was so knowledgable and very passionate about the history.
We had a good time. Interesting trip with a very good and engaged guide on the tour to Pompeii.
