North Mali 'terrorist' haven threatens Africa - leaders

By Pascal Fletcher and Aaron Maasho

ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Africa face s a serious threat from al Qaeda and its allies trying to set up a sanctuary in northern Mali, African leaders said on Saturday as they pondered political and military strategies aimed at reuniting the divided West African state.

The leaders meeting at the African Union (AU) in Addis Ababa are seeking to resolve messy aftermaths of military coups this year in Mali and Guinea-Bissau which have put blots on the continent's democratic credentials after advances in stability and governance in recent years.

They are also seeking to reconcile feuding neighbours Sudan and South Sudan after the latter's independence last year split what used to be Sub-Saharan Africa's largest country.

But one factor distracting the African heads of state from the continent's serious security and development challenges is a bruising contest over who should head the AU Commission, which steers the regional diplomatic body.

The standoff, which has broadly split Africa's French- and English-speaking blocs into two camps, pits South African Home Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma against incumbent Jean Ping from Gabon and risks dominating the weekend summit in Addis Ababa.

At a meeting of the AU's Peace and Security Council on Saturday, the presidents worked to flesh out a plan to deal with Mali, where al Qaeda-linked local and foreign jihadists have seized control of the largely desert north after hijacking a rebellion by secular Tuareg separatists earlier this year.

Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara, chairing the security council, condemned what he called "the intention of terrorist groups to create a sanctuary in northern Mali".

Denouncing alleged links between al Qaeda in the Sahel region and other violent radical Islamist groups, such as Boko Haram in Nigeria and al Shabaab in Somalia, Ouattara said this posed "a serious threat to regional security".

African leaders are seeking U.N. Security Council support for military intervention in Mali to end the rebellion in the north and reunite the Sahel state, which was split after a March 22 military coup in the capital Bamako.

The Security Council has endorsed West African efforts to end the unrest in Mali but has stopped short of backing a military operation until African leaders can clearly spell out its objectives and how it would be carried out.

"For the moment, nothing is ready," one European diplomat, who follows the region closely, said.

Urging the AU to urgently develop a clear strategy for Mali, AU commission chief Ping called it "one of the most serious crises to confront the continent".

The AU's peace and security commissioner Ramtane Lamamra said on Friday the African body was giving priority to finding a peaceful political solution in Mali but was preparing for a military intervention "as a last resort".

Negotiating efforts have focused on fully handing back power in the southern half of Mali to a civilian government, although Ouattara said these moves were still being "disturbed" by the same military elements who carried out the March 22 coup.

Ouattara repeated the AU position that there would be no negotiations with "terrorist groups" in northern Mali, although some dialogue has been held with secular Tuareg separatists and leaders of the local Islamist Ansar Dine insurgent group.

DEADLOCK OVER AU LEADERSHIP

The AU's current chairman, Benin President Yayi Boni, urged the continent's leaders to resolve the security and governance problems in Mali and Guinea-Bissau, saying they acted as a distraction from the more strategic task of delivering economic growth and development to Africa's people.

"Without peace, there can be no development," Boni said.

But even as the African leaders considered the region's problems, their work was overshadowed by the AU Commission leadership race. This has remained deadlocked since a January summit vote ended in stalemate between the candidacies of Gabon's Ping and South Africa's Dlamini-Zuma.

With Ping carrying the broad support of Africa's French-speaking states, and English-speaking states in southern Africa lining up behind Pretoria's candidate, the continental body risks a division that could affect its global credibility and crisis-handling capacity if it persists, diplomats said.

As the debate over the leadership contest swirled in the corridors of the AU's soaring Chinese-built steel and glass headquarters, rumours of compromise candidates to break the deadlock appeared as thick, fast and numerous as the boxy blue Soviet Lada taxis that crowd Addis Ababa's streets.

"It's hard to get to the truth of this," lamented Uganda's state minister for foreign affairs, Henry Okello. He was confident that the AU meeting could finally choose a new commission head, but he stressed "it should be a person that does not polarise".

There were hopes too that Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, and Salva Kiir, the president of South Sudan, could meet at the summit to revive faltering talks. The neighbours came close to war in April after they clashed over undefined borders and the sharing out of oil revenues. (Reporting By Pascal Fletcher and Aaron Maasho; Editing by Ruth Pitchford)

Cloned horses may compete in the 2012 London Olympics, while anti-doping testing for humans becomes more sophisticated

(NaturalNews) While performance enhancement drugs and techniques may be banned for humans, the gate has been opened for genetically modified horses to compete in the Olympic games.

In a surprising but not shocking development, the Federation Equestre Internationale has decided to overturn a ban previously placed on cloned equines.

According to The Chronicle of the Horse at their recently held sports forum it was said, "The FEI will not forbid participation of clones or their progenies in FEI competitions. The FEI will continue to monitor further research, especially with regard to equine welfare."

Whereas in 2007, the stance of the FEI was the polar opposite; "The competitive equestrian couple of horse and rider are both acknowledged as athletes by the FEI. The cloning of either with a view to competing at international level would be unacceptable to the FEI. The FEI opposes cloning for it goes against one of the FEI's basic objectives: to enable FEI athletes 'to compete in international events under fair and even conditions."

This announcement comes in light of the London 2012 Olympics being touted as having "the most sophisticated anti-doping operation in the history of the Games." According to CNN, for the first time in Olympics history, a private company will provide its facilities - $30 million state-of-the-art laboratory - to aide in the testing of samples from Olympic participants to detect illegal performance enhancements. This is being provided by pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). According to GSK, the facilities will offer "enable expert analysts from King's (College, London) to independently operate a World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accredited laboratory during the Games."

Although the FEI announcement has come too late for cloned horses to participate in the London 2012 Olympics, the implications will be far reaching, placing pressure on other equestrian governing bodies to relax the generally held stance of not allowing physiologically altering performance enhancement to be used by any participants.

This action has set a precedent for all sports, and the broader implications of such a development may mean that the rules pertaining to human performance enhancement may be contested, and become relaxed amid pressure from those who advocate its use.

Currently, the world's biggest companies offering cloning are ViaTech in Texas and Cryozootech in Sonchamp, France.

They have both welcomed the news, and stated that their main aim is to allow the genes of top horses that have died or been gelded to be available again.

24 confirmed dead in South Africa crash

13/07/2012 - 15:30:46
A cargo train loaded with coal has collided with a truck carrying farm workers at a crossing in eastern South Africa, killing at least 24 people and leaving bodies strewn across the scene, officials said.

?The accident was messy,? said government spokesman Thulani Sibuyi describing heads and limbs severed from bodies.

At least 25 people were injured in the accident in Mpumalanga, an eastern province.
.
Authorities were still struggling to count all the injured.

Eleven of the victims died on the spot, two on the way to hospitals and the others perished in different health facilities. The final death toll, however, might still rise.

The owner of the truck is being questioned by the police. It appears likely that he crossed the tracks and misjudged the distance to the arriving train, officials said.

Traffic accidents with high death tolls are common in South Africa, and often are blamed on negligent drivers and badly maintained roads.

In 2010, a man driving 14 children to school evaded barriers at a crossing near Cape Town and a train crashed into it, killing 10 of his young passengers. The driver was convicted of murder in the deaths of the students and attempted murder in the case of the four surviving children. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

How To Design An Outdoor Bedroom On A Budget

??Image may be subject to copyright.

Cost of Project: $$$$$


Location in the House: outside

W e?re not talking about adding a room onto your home, but if your back yard is secure and private, this type of outdoor bedroom may be advantageous to you. It won?t take a great deal of money, and you may be able to use items you already have.

If you have a patio with a solid floor and roof, you?re already half way there. For the floor, you could purchase a colored turf grass or cork that outlasts inclement weather. During the summer months you may want to purchase mosquito netting, and then attach it to the patio roof. You can also attach outdoor curtains to the patio roof to give you privacy and keep out the bright morning sun. Then when not in use, tie them back around the patio support poles.

You could add an outdoor fireplace for cooler nights. Be cautious that none of the curtains or netting blow toward the open flames.
The best time of the year to purchase those items would be at the end of summer where you?ll find reduced prices.

You can find furniture for your outdoor bedroom at second hand stores, or discount stores, or your local furniture store that have numerous bedroom suites. They also may have suites purchased from hotels. Those beds and headboards are normally large with nice headboards and other furnishings.

Use unstained bookcases after you?ve stained them with all-weather stain. You?ll find you can save money because they?re cheaper than their finished counterparts. Store books and knickknacks in these pieces and be sure to protect them from the weather.

As you prepare to decorate the area, pick up pottery, baskets or even wrought iron items. You?ll find many ideas in outdoor catalogs or search the local hardware store shelves for good buys.

Many have moved their kitchen and living areas out into the back yard, so why not bedrooms? It takes a bit of ingenuity and planning, but think of the fun you?ll have when you explain to the rest of your family that you?ll be spending the summer in your bedroom in the back yard.

Turn the air conditioners off and enjoy the beauty that you?ve developed in the back yard, besides you?ll be sleeping under the stars. When cooler nights suddenly arrive, you could pack a couple of blankets in a trunk that you can use as a table. Once your family sees how much you?ve enjoyed your new room, they?ll want to join you. Or you could always add a tree house!

Brain-monitoring helmet could help tell friend from foe

1 hr.

A company called Veritas Scientific has developed a helmet that it?claims can help determine if a person has "malicious intent." The device?uses a well-known, non-invasive technique and may help soldiers and police investigate more efficiently.

The technology is not new by a long shot ? Electroencephalography (EEG) has been used for decades. ?EEGs measure electrical fields in the brain through the scalp, allowing for a quick and rough picture of brain activity without invasive probes or bulky machinery. But the readings aren't very precise, so they aren't able to tell exactly what part of the brain is producing that activity.

That's not a problem for the helmet Veritas has designed, which looks for one specific signal. Images flash onto the helmet's visor, right in front of the test?subject's eyes, and when a picture?appears that the subject?recognizes, the EEG readings dip in a characteristic way.

If the image the person recognizes is a family member or local landmark, no problem. But if it's bomb materials or an enemy leader, that could be an indication that the person should be questioned further. And another battery of tests could determine whether the subject being question is attempting to deceive the interrogators.

The helmet does not "read your mind," of course: The brain activity tracked by the?device is more like a blush or flinch ? just a reflex. But the CEO of the company and others in the field suggested?to IEEE Spectrum that there is still a risk of misuse.

Veritas says its still at the beginning of testing, and plans to add more measures to the helmet before pitching the device to the military.
