Bei dem Mitmach- Video Anbieter "Youtube" ist ein Video aufgetaucht, auf dem ein Mitschnitt einer MDR Radio Sport Reportage zu hören ist. Wenn man auf dem Youtube Portal den Titel "MDR Uli Landespokalverlierer-Plauen" eingibt, gelangt man zu der besagten Aufnahme. Zu Beginn sind allerdings nur undeutliche Worte zu erkennen. Ab der Minute 1:00 sagt ein Moderator: "Uli, das ist doch Dein Thema: Randerlierende Fussballfans, Assis, Hartz IV Empfänger und äh Rechtsradikale." Bei dieser unsäglichen Aufzählung, die äußerst diskriminierend alles in ein Topf wirft, bleibt es allerdings nicht.

Remy Ourdan, Le Monde: "They are trying to be more discreet and less murderous than in Iraq. In Kabul, foreign mercenaries don't let loose with rapid fire at intersections and the laws attempt to compel them to cooperate with Afghan companies. However, with the improvement of the situation in Iraq and since Barack Obama announced that Afghanistan and Pakistan were the 'central front' of the war against al-Qaeda, they've been arriving."

The deal was concluded after Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff, went to the Capitol to assure Senate Democrats that President Obama would use all administrative and legal means to prevent the photos' release. At the same time, a federal court issued a ruling effectively ensuring that the photos would not be released for months, if ever.

Master illusionist Bernanke is just arranging the props for his next big trick. The fact is, Bernanke anticipated the current wave of deflation and set up a straw man (the banks) to deal with it so it wouldn't look like he was simply printing more paper to finance the deficits.

In its escalation of the US war in Afghanistan, and its increasing extension across the border into Pakistan, the Obama administration has chosen as its senior commander an officer who is among those most deeply implicated in the criminal operations carried out under Bush and Cheney.

A giant mobile phone mast could be torn down because it is a blot on the landscape.

The 30-metre mast was erected on land off Taverham Lane, Costessey, in April last year by telecoms firm T Mobile to replace a nearby mast which was taken down to make way for new homes.

Under a Town and Country Planning Order, the structure was initially allowed without planning permission for a six-month period while a new mast site was found, but after more than a year T Mobile chiefs are now seeking permission to retain the mast for a further year while a permanent replacement is built.

But the proposal, set to go before South Norfolk Council's North West Area Planning Committee on Monday, is being recommended for refusal on grounds that it would detract from the character of the area and would require new road access which could pose a hazard.

BRAVE cancer-battler Lynne Springford has taken on another fight, despite currently undergoing chemotherapy.

Furious Lynne is helping lead Docking's objections to a 260-foot wind-testing tower which could lead to the establishment of a wind farm of up to seven turbines within two years.

And she is incensed at the thought that the village will have the tower imposed upon it in the same way that, without consideration of local views, mobile phone masts have been added to Docking water tower.

Cynthia Hubert, The Sacramento Bee: "On March 7, 2007, Army Spc. Trevor Hogue was inside his barracks in Baghdad, describing his morning on the battlefield. 'I saw things today that I think will mess me up for life,' Hogue typed to his mother, Donna, as she sat at her computer thousands of miles away from Iraq, in Granite Bay. That day the young soldier, whose assignment included driving a Humvee through perhaps the most dangerous ZIP code on the globe, saw his sergeant blown to pieces. He saw the bodies of half of the men in his platoon torn apart. Heads were cut off and limbs severed. It happened 30 yards in front of him, and he had never been so afraid, he told his mom. 'My arms are around you,' Donna Hogue wrote. 'You'll be alright.' But Hogue never really recovered. Last week, he committed suicide by hanging himself in the backyard of his childhood home. He was 24 years old."

For those with the background to interpret its key statistical findings, the release of the IEO can provide a unique opportunity to gauge important shifts in global energy trends, much as reports of routine Communist Party functions in the party journal Pravda once provided America's Kremlin watchers with insights into changes in the Soviet Union's top leadership circle."
