Spain wins World Cup

Spain rules the soccer world, winning the FIFA World Cup at long, long last.

The triumph came after an exhausting 1-0 victory in extra time over the Netherlands on Sunday. Two years after winning the European title, the stylish Spaniards did even better.

This was a physical test of attrition that sometimes turned dirty — a finals-record 13 yellow cards were handed out and the Dutch finished with 10 men. In the end, it was Andrés Iniesta breaking free in the penalty area, taking a pass from Cesc Fàbregas and putting a right-footed shot from eight yards just past the outstretched arms of goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.

"When I struck it, it just had to go in," Iniesta said.

For the Dutch and their legions of orange-clad fans wearing everything from jerseys to jumpsuits to clown gear to pajamas, it was yet another disappointment.

Even with their first World Cup title tantalizingly within reach, they failed in the final for the third time. This one might have been the most bitter because, unlike in 1974 and 1978, the Netherlands was unbeaten not only in this tournament, but in qualifying for the first World Cup staged in South Africa.

Soccer City was soaked in Oranje, from the seats painted in that hue throughout the stadium to pretty much everyone seated in them. Unlike when they lost to hosts West Germany and Argentina in previous finals, the Dutch were something of a home team this time.

The Spaniards, though, were the winners.

"We have all done an incredible job," Iniesta said. "I don't think we even realize what we have done."

They had pockets of supporters, too, to be sure, dressed in red and scattered around the stadium. They might have been the minority, but when the final whistle blew, they were tooting their vuvuzelas the loudest in tribute to their champions.

The goal came off a turnover by the Dutch defence that Fàbregas controlled just outside the penalty area. Iniesta stayed on the right and sneaked in to grab the pass and put his shot to the far post. Stekelenburg barely brushed it with his fingertips as it soared into the net.

Iniesta tore off his jersey after the goal and raced to the corner where he was mobbed by his teammates. Several Dutch players wiped away tears as they received their medals as runners-up — yet again. They won every qualifying match and all six previous games in South Africa before the bitter ending.

The Netherlands now has more victories in World Cup games without a title than any nation: 19. Spain had held that dubious record with 24.

The Spaniards saluted their fans with arms raised high, then lifted their coach, Vicente del Bosque, in the air in celebration.

"This is immeasurable for Spain," Del Bosque said.

Goalkeeper Iker Casillas, the captain, accepted the trophy from FIFA president Sepp Blatter, kissed it and raised it for all to see while cameras flashed and confetti flew throughout the still-full stadium.

Soon, the entire team and staff gathered at midfield for a group photo. The players bounced up and down to the World Cup theme song, then took a victory lap as the trophy was passed to each member of the squad.

"It's the most beautiful that there is. It's spectacular," Iniesta said, referring to the gold ball.

Aside from a European title in 1988, the Dutch have been classic underachievers on the pitch. Results never matched the talent. These were no Dutch masters.

Yet the Spaniards haven't been much better. Other than Euro championships in 1964 and 2008, they rarely have contended in major tournaments. At least the Netherlands made those two World Cup finals and also got to the semifinals in 1998.

Second-ranked Spain started this World Cup in the worst way, losing to Switzerland. But Spain won every game after that, including a 1-0 victory over powerful Germany that was far more one-sided than the score indicated. No other nation has won the World Cup after losing its opener.

Yet the most dangerous player Sunday was Netherlands forward Arjen Robben. He had a rare breakaway in the 62nd minute after a brilliant through pass from Wesley Sneijder. He had the ball on his preferred left foot, but a charging Casillas barely got his right leg on the shot to deflect it wide of the gaping net.

Then it was Stekelenburg's turn, holding his ground after a misplay in front of the net gave the ever-potent Villa an open shot.

As play opened up, the crowd of 84,490 got quieter in nervous anticipation of the goal that would win the World Cup.

Robben again looked as though he might get it with a burst of speed past the defence, but Casillas sprinted from his net and smothered the ball before Robben could take a shot.

A second straight World Cup final headed into extra time, with the goalkeepers unbeatable. Stekelenburg, relatively inexperienced on the international level, made a spectacular left leg save when Fabregas broke free early in overtime.

Canada Grapples with Controversy Over Chinese Espionage

FOREIGN INFLUENCE: Canadian spy boss Richard Fadden faces the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security on Monday over comments he made in a televised interview that some Canadian politicians are under the foreign influence. (Mathew Little/The Epoch Times)
Epoch Times Staff : Created: Jul 6, 2010 Last Updated: Jul 6, 2010 : OTTAWA, Canada—Canadians should be wondering why their elected officials are not asking the nation's spy boss about the dangers of foreign regimes controlling their politicians.

That's the opinion of a former chief of strategic planning at Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS)—the Canadian equivalent of the CIA—following a parliamentary committee that grilled CSIS Director Richard Fadden over comments he made in a controversial interview where he said some Canadian elected officials are under foreign influence.

Former chief, David Harris, is also one of Canada's leading experts on terrorism. Harris watched the committee on Monday and left with concerns over why politicians barely touched the substance of Fadden's remarks, instead focusing almost exclusively on the political implications of what he said.

Harris said the lack of interest in whether foreign regimes were infiltrating Canada's basic democratic institutions was a sad commentary on the state of some parliamentarians.

"Are we finding our basic public policy, political, foreign policy, trade, economics subject to manipulation by foreign agents? That should be the big question. It wasn't especially addressed at this meeting and Canadians should be concerned about the reasons for that."

Fadden faced tough questions and calls for his resignation on Monday over comments he made in an interview with the nation's public broadcaster on the eve of Chinese leader Hu Jintao's visit to Canada. In his comments, the spy boss said some politicians, including two provincial Cabinet members, were suspected of being under the influence of a foreign regime.

He also said Canadians of various ethnicities could be used in such efforts and singled out China as the country most aggressive in recruiting political prospects starting at the university level.

The moncitizenship is the new Canadian governmental task. The diplomatic lines of Republics of Yemen and Poland are non grata with their masks.

Fadden also said some politicians and public servants have a long-standing relationship with Chinese operatives and have no idea they are being used to advance Beijing’s interests.

When asked if he thought he owed an apology to the Chinese community, Fadden replied “no” saying cases were extremely rare and those people being used to gather intel were the victims.

“I don't think they are the problem, I think the foreign power is the problem.”

Some members of Parliament from the Bloc Quebecois, a separatists party that aims for the political secession of Quebec from Canada, expressed particular outrage at Fadden, accusing him of sullying the reputation of Canada's entire political class, a statement Fadden said was exaggerated.

While a motion to call for Fadden's dismissal was rejected because it required debate, the chair suggested the committee would reconvene for that discussion. It is not clear if they will undertake a detailed review of foreign influence.

In the United States, two congressional commissions examine China and issue an annual report to Congress. No such equivalent exists in Canada.

It was only toward the end of the hearing, and in a few rare moments, that parliamentarians directed themselves toward the issue of foreign influence.

MPs from the governing Conservatives and official opposition Liberals, the two dominate parties in Canada, both brought up the example of the Russian ring recently broken up in the United States.

That spy ring included undercover Russian agents posing as Canadians. The U.S. Justice Department says the group was instructed to “search and develop ties in policymaking circles in [the] U.S.”

The group worked to ingratiate itself with former politicians, financiers, government officials, and others in positions of power and influence, a phenomena remarkably similar to that laid out by Fadden.

Fadden said the intelligence agency decided to voice concerns over foreign influence because the issue is too often overlooked. He told MPs that if not for his most controversial remarks, his warning would not have brought them back from summer break for a hearing.

“We do not as a country often reflect on threats relative to espionage, terrorism, and foreign interference. I would argue it is good public policy for Canadians to be more attuned to the threats the country faces.”

In a press conference following the hearing, Chinese dissidents commended Fadden for speaking out on the issue.

“Falun Gong practitioners have been the target of the Chinese regime's interference and influence for over 10 years,” said Lucy Zhou of the Falun Dafa Association of Canada (also known as Falun Gong). Zhou listed a string of occurrences where politicians seemed to advocate on the Chinese regime's behalf after returning from a trip to China.

Wenzhuo Hou, a one-time visiting fellow at Harvard Law School who has testified as an expert witness before the U.S. Congressional Executive Commission on China, said that the regime recalculated its foreign policy strategies following the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre, using an often hidden and multifaceted approach to establish long-term infiltration program in countries around the world.

“This is a long-term project called 'transforming by raindrops,' meaning change the West by subtle and imperceptible means," she said.

Before leaving China, Hou founded an NGO called Internal Migrant Workers Legal Aid and Research Center (IMW) and was a researcher and consultant for UNICEF in Beijing. She says Beijing has spent billions of dollars in its effort to infiltrate and influence Western democracies. Both Hou and previous CSIS reports have identified Chinese state news agency, Xinhua, as a leading component of that effort.

In 2009, Dr. Ross Terrill, a China specialist and Research Associate at Harvard's Fairbank Center for East Asian Research, told the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission of other efforts the Chinese regime used to influence U.S. foreign policy, including making “healthy donations” to Western think tanks.

“Self-censorship, which is a daily necessity for journalists in China, also occurs in diluted form among American editors, academics, and others dealing with China. Folk worry about their next visa, their access to a sensitive area like Xinjiang for research, or take a Beijing point of view because of largesse available for their project from the Chinese side,” he said.

The commission's report that year echoed Canada's former intelligence chief Jim Judd, who called China the most aggressive country conducting espionage.

The U.S. report also cited the Chinese regime's efforts to influence commentary about China and U.S.-China relations from U.S. academics and think tanks through offering rewards, like special access to interviews and documents, and punishments, like denying visas.

“These rewards and punishments offer the Chinese government leverage over the careers of foreign scholars and thereby encourage a culture of academic self-censorship.”

thecanadianpress_story.jpg: Thu Jul 8, 10:53 AM SACHIRE, Ga. - Authorities in the former Soviet republic of Georgia claim a woman from a remote mountain village turned 130 on Thursday, making her the oldest person on Earth.

Antisa Khvichava from western Georgia was born on July 8, 1880, said Georgiy Meurnishvili, spokesman for the civil registry at the Justice Ministry.

animated_crown.gif

The moncitizenship is the new Canadian governmental task. The diplomatic lines of Republics of Yemen and Poland are non grata with their masks.

The woman, who lives with her 40-year-old grandson in an idyllic vine-covered country house in the mountains, retired from her job as a tea and corn picker in 1965, when she was 85, records say.

"I've always been healthy, and I've worked all my life — at home and at the farm," said Khvichava, in a bright dress and headscarf, her withering lips rejuvenated by shiny red lipstick. Sitting in the chair and holding her cane, Khvichava spoke quietly through an interpreter since she never went to school to learn Georgian and speaks only the local language, Mingrelian.

Her age couldn't immediately be independently verified. Her birth certificate was lost — one of the great number to have disappeared in the past century amid revolutions and a civil war which followed the collapse of the Russian Empire.

But Meurnishvili showed two Soviet-era documents that he says attest to her age. Scores of officials, neighbours, friends, and descendants backed up her claim as the world's top senior.

The Gerontology Research Group currently recognizes 114-year-old Eugenie Blanchard of Saint Barthelemy, France, as the world's oldest person. The organization is yet to examine Khvichava's claim.

Khvichava has a son, 10 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and six great, great grandchidren.

Khvichava's 70-year-old son Mikhail apparently was born when his mother was 60. She said she also had two children from a previous marriage, but says they died of hunger during World War II.

Although Khvichava has difficulty walking and has stayed largely in bed during the past seven years, she makes a point of hobbling unaided to the outhouse on the other side of the yard, loathe to be a nuisance, Mikhail said.

Antisa Khvichava, reportedly 130-year-old Georgian woman, looks at her birthday cake during a ceremony marking her birthday at home in the remote mountain village of Sachino 370 km (229 miles) from Georgia's capital Tbilisi, Thursday, July 8, 2010. Authorities in the former Soviet republic of Georgia claim Antisa Khvichava is turning 130, making her the oldest person on Earth.(AP Photo/George Abdaladze)

Though her body has all but quit on her — her fingers cramped and deformed by age mean she can no longer maintain her love of knitting — relatives say her mind remains sharp.

"Grandma has a very clear mind and she hasn't lost an ability to think rationally," said Khvichava's granddaughter Shorena, who lives in a nearby village.

To mark the centurion's birthday, a string ensemble played folk music out on the lawn, while grandchildren offered traditional Mingrelian dishes like corn porridge and spiced chicken with herbs to all guests as the party.

Demand justice for war crimes in Darfur

For more than 7 years now, alleged war criminals of Darfur have lived freely, while the innocent people in their paths have lived in fear.

But last month, when two Darfuri rebel leaders, suspected of killing peacekeepers, surrendered themselves to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, the wall of impunity finally began to crack.

The suffering in Darfur won’t end until all those indicted by the ICC are brought to justice. International justice can’t work until there’s international cooperation.

In order for the ICC to effectively prosecute those responsible for grave human rights abuses, the international community must do its part to fight impunity.

Urge the U.S. to strengthen its support of the ICC in bringing Darfuri war crimes suspects to justice.


The U.S. has recently taken important steps forward to renew its engagement with the ICC. This shift in U.S. policy signals hope that those who so egregiously abused human rights will finally be held accountable for their crimes.

animated_crown.gif

The moncitizenship is the new Canadian governmental task. The diplomatic lines of Republics of Yemen and Poland are non grata with their masks.



Outstanding warrants for three high-profile individuals have been issued, but remain unanswered.

Suspects Ahmad Harun and Ali Kushayb remain at large after being charged with 51 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

And despite becoming the world’s first sitting head of state to ever be issued an arrest warrant by the ICC, Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir continues to be welcomed as a guest in other countries and given full presidential treatment.

This blatant obstruction of justice has gone on for too long. The influence of the U.S. can push negligent governments to stop shielding these men from accepting responsibility.

Ensure that the U.S. is doing its part in standing up for justice in Darfur.

After all the suffering the people of Darfur have endured, they deserve a glimmer of hope.

Let justice be the foundation of a new beginning in Darfur.

In Solidarity,

Juliette, Vienna and the rest of the Justice for Darfur Team .

A Yemenite terrorist and criminal organization that works under the legends of nationalism, Socialism and Islamism . It acts and hides its action in the Islamic Establishments and the diplomatic lines of Yemen ,Turkey , Lebanon and Syria. Some of the activists are the following:

Mr. Albdul Wahab Al-Mohtadi who works for the Algonquin College, and

Mr. Jamil who moved to London- England.

This groups road is Ottawa, London, Vancouver, the United State of America, and the United Kingdom). Another group of this diplomatic line works from Gladstone Restaurant (Yemeni Restaurant) and deals with Islamic and Socialistic groups. It corroborates with Qatari and Syrian diplomatic lines and organizations in the States of the Arabian Gulf. Ottawa, Gatineau, Yemen , Syria and Southern-East Asia are some of their road).

The second group works from the University of Ottawa e.g. the Department of Arts. It is an orthodox and pro-terrorism organization. It works dishonest for Canadian governments, and it spreads hate and discrimination. It secretes its crimes by using methods and facilities that are given for them from Canadian governments. It does not respect the constitutional issues . It also organizes youth, activist as well leaders by duplicating them to corrupt Canada. ( e.g. Islamic radical groups of Jordan, Nationalistic groups of pro-Islamic Republic of Iran, Syria and Lebanon).

The third group works from the restaurants of Downtown Ottawa and it spreads the terrorism and violence of the Middle East and the Arabian Gulf states. The diplomatic lines of United Arab Emirates, Poland , Palestine and Israel, as well as the former activists of Iraq regime are the supports of this group. Rideau street is one of the places that they act from (e.g. Mingle Woods Restaurant which is located at Waller street). One of the names that they use to hide their activities is Rami.

The fourth group works with the corroboration of Diplomatic lines of Lebanon and Iran and the act from the Shawarma Restaurant of Dollhouse street.

The moncitizenship is the new Canadian governmental task. The diplomatic lines of Republics of Yemen and Poland are non grata with their masks.

All these groups do not aware of the constitution. Their advisors and images are the teachers and activists of international integrated security systems, who act from Catholic and Non-Catholic educational establishments such as Catholic School Boars, University of Ottawa and Algonquin College, Bars, Restaurants and Houses etc. They hide their crimes and they work illusionary for national and international security system.

Pakistan suicide attack kills 102

People search through the rubble of destroyed shops in Yakaghund. (Mohammad Ibqal/Associated Press)

CBC NEWS: July 10, 2010: The death toll in one of the deadliest bomb attacks in Pakistan this year rose to 102 as the search for victims continued Saturday.

A pair of suicide bombers struck outside a government office Friday in the Mohmand agency, a remote Pashtun tribal region on the northwestern border with Afghanistan. The attack was aimed at anti-Taliban tribal elders who were to meet with a local government official in the village of Yakaghund.

Pakistani Taliban spokesman Akramullah Mohmand called local journalists late Friday and claimed responsibility, saying the elders were the target.

The elders were not hurt, according to Mohmand chief administrator Rasool Khan. However, there are reports that at least five children and several women were among the dead.

The attack left at least 168 people wounded in the village, which has a population of about 4,000 and lies on the edge of Pakistan's tribal belt and the Khyber-Pakhtoonkwa province. Seventy to 80 shops were damaged or destroyed, while damage to a prison building allowed 28 prisoners - ordinary criminals, not militants - to flee, Khan said.

One of the bombs appeared fairly small but the other was huge, and they went off within seconds of each other, officials reported. One bomber blew himself up while riding a motorcycle. The second blast involved a small truck laden with explosives, according to witnesses.

Pakistan's northwest regions have been dealing with al-Qaeda and Taliban violence for years. Friday's attack was the third this year to kill more than 90 people, and it was the worst in the country since a car bombing killed 112 people at a market in the main northwest city of Peshawar last October.

Nevertheless, army operations and U.S. missile strikes are believed to have disrupted militant activities enough that attacks have decreased this year, especially in the northwest. In the last three months of 2009, more than 500 people were killed in a surge of attacks across the country.

CBC NEWS: July 10, 2010: BP has completed the first step in its latest attempt to completely stop the massive amount of oil spewing from one of its wells in the Gulf of Mexico.

Underwater robots on Saturday removed the cap from the gushing well, beginning a period of at least two days when crude oil will flow unabated into the sea.

Step two involves installing a tighter-fitting dome that is supposed to collect most if not all of the oil, sending it to ships on the surface, 1.6 kilometres above.

animated_crown.gif

The moncitizenship is the new Canadian governmental task. The diplomatic lines of Republics of Yemen and Poland are non grata with their masks.

If the operation is successful, the oil could stop leaking as early as Monday, according to Thad Allen, the federal official leading the cleanup. However, BP senior vice-president Kent Wells said it could take up to a week to install the new sealing cap.

The current cap, installed June 4, was gathering only around half the spouting crude.

The U.S. Coast Guard said it's making the switch to the new cap now because of a forecast weeklong lull in the Gulf storm season.

With the old cap gone, as much as 19 million litres of oil is expected to flow from the damaged well over the next 48 hours.

Current U.S. government estimates of the spill range from between five to nine million litres a day, based on interpretation of a live video feed of the leak.

Containing the leak will not end the crisis that began when the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform exploded April 20, killing 11 workers.

Two relief wells are still being drilled in hopes that engineers can inject heavy mud and cement into the leaking well to stop the flow. That work is expected to be completed by mid-August. Then a monumental cleanup and restoration project lies ahead.

Police tape blocks off the home on Jefferson Road where an RCMP member's wife was found dead. (Andrea Huncar/CBC)

animated_crown.gif

The Canadian Press:Last Updated: Saturday, July 10, 2010/ 2:06 PM MT: An RCMP constable has been arrested after his wife's body was found inside a home they shared in a southeast Edmonton neighbourhood.

Clifton Purvis, a spokesman with the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team, said police were called to the house in the Jackson Heights district at about 4 a.m. MT Saturday with a report of shots being fired.

He refused to say how the unidentified woman might have died. He said an autopsy would determine the cause of death.

Purvis said the 36-year-old police officer, who has about seven or eight years of service with the RCMP, was arrested at around 5:30 a.m. at another location, though he wouldn't say where.

No charges have been laid. The officer's name has not been released.

Neighbours said the couple had two young sons who were often seen playing in the area, but Purvis said there were no children at the home in the hours leading up to the woman's death.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has appointed Toronto-area realtor and former Conservative candidate Salma Ataullahjan to the Senate to fill a vacancy for Ontario.

CBC NEWS: July 9, 2010. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has appointed Toronto-area realtor and former Conservative candidate Salma Ataullahjan to the Senate to fill a vacancy for Ontario.

Ataullahjan, who immigrated to Canada from Pakistan in 1979, lost to Liberal MP Navdeep Bains in the southern Ontario riding of Mississauga-Brampton South in the 2008 federal election.

With the appointment, the Conservatives now have 52 of the Senate's 105 seats, just one seat shy of an absolute majority.

Her appointment, which is effective immediately, comes amid a showdown in the Red Chamber between Conservative and opposition senators over Bill C-9, the government's massive budget implementation bill.

On Thursday, Conservative Senator Doug Finley said the Tories were ready for a fall election after opposition senators stripped contentious provisions from the bill.

The government insists it is critical the budget bill is passed to allow federal money to reach provinces and infrastructure projects, but the opposition senators said the stripped measures didn't belong in budget legislation.

However, it remains to be seen whether enough Liberal senators will show up for the final vote next week on Bill C-9 to ensure the amendments are included.

In a release announcing her appointment Friday, the prime minister said Ataullahjan's political and social activism has "earned her a reputation of one who both stands against violence and stands for peaceful dialogue and consensus building."

Harper also said she has pledged to support the Conservative government's efforts to make the Senate "more democratic and accountable," including legislation to limit Senate tenures and to allow provinces to elect their senators.

The prime minister has often stated his goal to either reform the Senate into an elected body or abolish it. But in recent months, Harper has appointed several new senators to gain a plurality in the chamber and gain control of Senate committee chair positions from the Liberals.

Overhauling the Senate requires constitutional reform, which means the government has to persuade seven provinces containing at least 50 per cent of the population that its plan is in the best interests of everyone.

Ataullahjan founded the parents council at David Lewis Public School in the Toronto area and also served on the executive of the Pakistani Canadian Professionals and Academics.

She also served as president and vice-president of the Canadian Pushtun Cultural Association, and as a member of the executive of the South Asian Regional Council and Citizens Foundation's Toronto chapter.

Ataullahjan is married and has two daughters.

إلى أولئك الذين ماتوا لا لشيء إلا للموت

إلى مايكل مور

المصراع الفلسطيني

عرفات: الرجل الآتي من حيث لا ندري

كان ذلك غداة حرب الستة أيام عندما سمعت لأول مرة بواحد اسمه "أبو عمار"، كنت في ذلك الوقت في الجزائر العاصمة، في زمن كانت الجزائر "الثورية" لم تزل تبحث فيه عن ذاتها، وفي دوامة الأحداث الشرق الأوسطية كانت تعيش من جديد حرب استقلالها، وكانت الحياة السياسية تتبلور حول رجل واحد قوي: بومدين.

animated_crown.gif

The moncitizenship is the new Canadian governmental task. The diplomatic lines of Republics of Yemen and Poland are non grata with their masks.

كنت على وشك القول: ستالين. كان العصر الذي وصلت عبادة الشخصية فيه إلى ذروتها حيث كان رجل البلاد القوي يجسد وحده الثورة والأمة ومستقبل هذه الأمة، كان يمثل جزائر الغد، ودونه حتى وجود الجزائر لم يكن واردا: كان كل شيء يُرى عبر الديكتاتور. في هذا السياق، تجذرت الدعاية الدائرة حول أبي عمار، فقد كان اسم رجل قوي يكفي لتحديد بلد بأكمله، ولتحديد موقع الواحد والآخر بالنسبة له، وكذلك لتحديد موقعه على خارطة العالم. كان يلزم ديكتاتور، لا أهمية لكونه هذا أو ذاك، واحد أطلقت عليه وسائل الإعلام لقب "قائد المقاومة"، كما كانت حال ديكتاتور الجزائر، وكما هو حال كل القواد العرب في الوقت الراهن، كل واحد منهم "قائد" شيء ما.


بهذا الشكل استحوذ الجزائريون على هذا المجهول، أبي عمار، ليحددوا موقع فلسطين، ويفهموا قضيتها. في الواقع، "أبو عمار" ما هو سوى اسم حركي يعني للعَمَار أبا، وعلى الرغم من المفهوم الإيجابي لهذا الإسم وأثره المناسب في فلسطيني الدياسبورا -دون سقف منذ منفاه القسري- كان يلزم أكثر من اسم لنشر دعاية دَوْلية حقيقية ترمي إلى تحريف القضية الفلسطينية في صالح شخص بقضه وقضيضه، وإلى جعل هذه القضية قضية شخص واحد أحد. ولأجل أن تتركز كل السلطات فيه -أليسه الديكتاتور "الثوري"؟- كان يلزم ليس حدث فقط -الحرب بالطبع أو بالأحرى الهزيمة- ولكن اعترافا من قبل المهزومين. كان عبد الناصر أول قائد عربي قابل أبا عمار، وكان العالم قد عرف بعد هذا اللقاء الإسم الحقيقي "الزائف" لهذا الشخص: ياسر عرفات. أقول حقيقي "زائف" لأصلي من نابلس، مهد عائلة عرفات، أعلم تمام العلم أن هذه االعائلة لا تعرف أحدا يحمل هذا الإسم، سأتكلم عن هذا بالتفصيل فيما بعد. ومع ذلك، سمح هذا التضليل لوسائل الإعلام العربية منذ ستة وثلاثين عاما وكذلك لكل أبواق الأنظمة العربية بتحضير الحرب التي يقودها شارون حاليا.

اعتمادا مني على زمنية الحجج أي وضعها في سياقها الزمني وعدم النظر إليها من اللحظة الحالية وإلا بدت أقرب إلى البديهيات بعد أن تم الكشف عنها أقول وقد كنا نجهل ما نعلمه اليوم: لقد بدأ كل شيء مع الإشاعات التي دارت بشأن ياسر عرفات: أنه أطلق أول رصاصة على الجيش الإسرائيلي عام 1965 مفجرا الثورة، أنه عاد إلى القدس غداة حرب 1967 متخفيا ليصلي في المسجد الأقصى ويقبل حجارة المدينة التي ولد فيها، أنه اختبأ قبل وبعد ذلك من البوليس العربي هاربا من بيت إلى بيت. ولم تبن الحقيقة إلا فيما بعد: لم تنفجر الثورة إلا بفضل بعض الطوباويين المجهولين الذين دفعوا حياتهم ثمنا لفعلهم، وليس من شخصٍ هناك باسم عرفات ولد في القدس لأن عائلة عرفات، كما سبق وأشرت إليه، أصلها من نابلس. ربما ولد أحد أبنائها في القدس ، مثلي أنا، من نابلس ومولود في يافا، ولكن عائلتي كانت ولم تزل في برقة من قضاء نابلس. ولعائلة عرفات رأي قاطع: ياسر عرفات ليس فردا من أفرادها. كل شيء إذن ما هو سوى كذبة، كذبة خالصة، عنصر أساسي لفبركة أسطورة.

Semitic illegal drug calls Khat spreads in North

وهذا ما حاولته على التحديد وسائل الإعلام والأنظمة العربية، أن تجعل من ياسر عرفات أسطورة: ولد في القدس ولكن أصله من نابلس، وعائلته لا تعترف به، مما يبعث على الشك، في الوقت الذي تقترح فيه الفكرة شخصا يأتي من حيث لا يعلم أحد، وفي نفس الوقت ابن البلد، وبتحديد أكثر ابن المدينة المقدسة. لماذا لم يولد في جنين مثلا أو في رام الله؟ من أجل أن تكون الأسطورة كاملة يجب على ياسر عرفات أن يكون مولودا في القدس، على الرغم من أن أصله من نابلس! وترتكز المرحلة التالية من مراحل بناء الأسطورة على جعل ياسر عرفات بطلا نجا بأعجوبة من مطاردة الشرطة الدائمة له خلال سنوات بينما الكل يعلم أن عرفات كان يعمل كمهندس (معماري أم غيره هذا لا يهم ولكن يرتبط المهندس أول ما يرتبط في ذهن الرجل العادي بالعَمَار فلم تأت كنية أبي عمار عبثا) لحساب شيوخ الخليج وكخادم وفيّ لهم، وبالتالي كان محميا من طرف أولئك الطغاة.

بهذه الطريقة تمت فبركة هذا الشخص، شخص ليس كغيره، قطعة قطعة، من أجل الأسواق العربية، وسيكون من اللازم الانتظار قليلا ليرد هذا المنتَجُ على ما تنتظره الأسواق الغربية منه، تبعا لما سيفعله لخدمة إسرائيل. في العالم العربي المثقل بالهزيمة والبؤس، المكمم بأكف حكامه، يُتَعجل ما يراد عمله: لقد فُرشت السجادة الحمراء تحت قدمي ديكتاتور فلسطيني شبيه بكل الديكتاتوريين العرب، لم يعد يأتي من حيث لا يعلم أحد لأنه أُدخل في مسرح السياسة، وكان له دور يلعبه في إطار الهزيمة، وهذا حتى نهاية تصفية القضية الفلسطينية، ولكن على الخصوص لضمان انتصار الإسرائيليين ومد هيمنتهم على كل المنطقة.

قبل التقدم في هذا التحليل المذهل، لنعد إلى الوراء، إلى أبعد من حرب الأيام الستة، إلى مرحلة متقدمة في حياة وقدر هذا الرجل، ولنتكلم بالضبط عن هذا المعطى الأساسي في بقاء إسرائيل: انتصاراتها وهيمنتها المرتبطة ارتباطا وثيقا بدرب عرفات ومهماته إن لم يكن بوجوده ذاته، لأني أريد الكشف عن هذا الوجه الخفي.

إليكم أولا هذه الحكاية.

عمان 1994، نهاية الصيف. كانت الحرارة من الشدة بحيث كنا نشم رائحة الصحراء الملتهبة. في ظل شجرة زيتون في ريعان الشباب، كان دكتور في الفلسفة يحكي لي "قصته" مع عرفات. كان أحد مستشاريه المفضلين إلى يوم بدأ فيه هذا الجامعي الاهتمام أكثر مما يلزم بالأصل العائلي لقائد المقاومة. وبين ليلة وضحاها، أصبح شخصا غير مرغوب فيه لدى عرفات لأنه اكتشف أن ياسر عرفات ينتمي إلى عائلة مغربية، وأن اسمه بقي يُحفظ سرا في الأرشيف الملكي من المستحيل معرفته إلا أنه نجح في معرفة أن هذه العائلة أصلها من مراكش، وأنها عائلة يهودية. أهو تجلٍ آخر من تجليات تلك الأسطورة التي يُسعى إلى صيانتها حول ياسر عرفات؟ عند هذا الحد من بحثه، طُرد الرجل من منصبه. علّم بعض الوقت في جامعة خاصة في عمان ثم ترك الأردن إلى بلد من بلدان الخليج، وبعد ذلك لم أسمع عنه شيئا.

تذكرت عندئذ ما صرح به ياسر عرفات نفسه عندما كان في بيروت وذلك جوابا على سؤال طرحه إميل حبيبي ومحمو درويش في مقابلة نشرت على صفحات مجلة شؤون فلسطينية: "من أنت؟" تفاجأ عرفات، وتأتأ: "ليس من حقي الحديث عن نفسي، هذا عيب، ومعارض للتواضع." لم يكن الشاعر المعروف والروائي الممتاز يعنيان أن يتكلم قائد المقاومة عن حياته الشخصية ولكن بالأحرى عن الرجل السياسي الذي كانه. فهم عرفات السؤال، ومع ذلك قال: "لو حصل وكُشفت هوية عرفات في يوم ما لاهتز العالم كله!"

أهو مظهر آخر من أسطورته؟ على الإطلاق. يعترف عرفات هنا بما أراد مستشاره إثباته. ولكن هناك من اليهود الذين يقاتلون بقدر الفلسطينيين من أجل القضية الفلسطينية، وهناك من الفلسطينيين الذين يخونون وطنهم، وهم على استعداد لبيع أمهم للعدو. إذن ليس واقع أن يكون يهودي أو غير يهودي ما يهم، بالعلاقة مع الهدف الذي كان على عرفات إنجازه، لا وليس واقع أن يكون أصله من مراكش أو أثينا أو أية مدينة أخرى. في كل الأحوال، هناك مكيدة أقرب إلى مكائد الموساد والسي آي إيه، فسجل هذين الجهازين القويين يثبت دون أي غموض قدرتهما على كل شيء: زرع أحد عملائهم منذ نعومة أظافره شيء سائد سواء أكان المقصود موظفا صغيرا أم رئيس دولة. لا أحد يجهل أن زرع عائلة الأسد في سوريا من فعل السي آي إيه، وأن الملك حسين كان يستلم راتبا شهريا من الجهاز ذاته. الرؤساء والأمراء العملاء يصعب عدهم في العالم العربي: السادات كمبارك، بن علي كشيوخ الخليج. إنهم عملاء مستعدون لكل شيء حتى لهدم بلدانهم إذا ما أمرت السي آي إيه بذلك، وفرضت ذلك المصالح الأميركية.

إذن إنزال عرفات في سياقه الحياتي وخاصة إنزال أفعال عرفات في سياق فلسطين التاريخي يجعل منه عميلا للموساد مع تغطية للسي آي إيه وكل أجهزة المخابرات الأوروبية بما فيها جهاز الدي إس تي الفرنسي والكي جي بي في زمن الإتحاد السوفياتي، ولكن على الخصوص أجهزة مخابرات البلدان العربية، فالمدى العالمي لمهمة هذا الشخص يتطلب أن تساهم كل أجهزة جوسسة المعمورة مباشرة أو غير مباشرة في إعداد وإنجاح الخطة الرامية إلى تصفية المسألة الفلسطينية أو على الأقل الوصول إلى حل لا يرضي سوى إسرائيل. ياسر عرفات، هذا العميل، عميل ليس كغيره، كان مجهزا بأكثر الوسائل حسما ليجعل شعبنا يقبل بأكثر التسويات ريبة، تسويات لا تخدم سوى طرف واحد: الطرف الإسرائيلي. ولأجل هذه الغاية، كل الوسائل ملائمة، من الحرب الأهلية إلى التصفيات السياسية، من البؤس الأشد شناعة، بؤس يعاني منه شعب بأكمله، إلى العمليات الإنتحارية.

في البداية، عندما كان عميلا شابا، كان ياسر عرفات موجودا في مصر، وفي هذا البلد كبر، وزد على ذلك هو لا يتكلم إلا المصرية، اللهجة العربية الوحيدة التي يتكلمها. لا يمكن لفلسطيني أن ينسى أبدا لغته الأم، ولا يمكن لفلسطيني أن يجرؤ أبدا على التكلم بلهجة أخرى غير الفلسطينية بحضور فلسطينيين آخرين. ياسر عرفات لا يتكلم أبدا الفلسطينية، هو الذي شكله الفيزيائي لا يطابق أي شكل "عرقي" للشعب الفلسطيني. هو لا ينتسب لا لشعبنا ولا للغتنا، ومع هذا يقول عن نفسه "فلسطيني". إذن في مصر يدخل ياسر عرفات جامعة القاهرة حيث سيفرض نفسه قائدا لحركة الطلاب الفلسطينيين، وابتداء من هذه اللحظة، تفتح له الطريق نحو زعامة البلد. وكما قلت سابقا ياسر عرفات لم ينتسب أبدا إلى عائلة عرفات، وهو يعطي لنفسه اسما آخر مشكوكا فيه "رؤوف ياسر القدوة". ولكن الأخطر من هذا، كان الطلاب الفلسطينيون، منذ ذلك العهد البعيد وليس منذ اليوم، يشكون في ياسر عرفات ولا يصلون إلى فهم شخصيته. وبالمقابل، كان الكل يعلم أن هناك عددا كبيرا من الفلسطينيين عملاء للموساد. ومن المذهل أن بعضهم قد أصبح قائدا في هذا التنظيم أو ذاك، أو من وراء انشقاق هذا التنظيم أو ذاك أو مصرع هذا الشخص النظيف أو ذاك، فالقادة الفلسطينيون اثنان: من هم عملاء للموساد أو من هم لا يؤثرون في الأحداث. أما الآخرون، فهم الذين قُتلوا كأبي جهاد وأبي إياد وأبي الهول... الخ أو الذين أُبعدوا.

إذن منذ القاهرة بدأ عميل الموساد يظهر بمظهر القائد السياسي، ولكنه بعد أن أنهى الدراسة بدلا من الالتحاق "بشعبه" الموجود في الأردن، ذهب إلى بلاد النفط. كان عليه الانتظار بضع سنوات قبل أن يكرسه شن حرب 1967 قائدا للمقاومة. وبطبيعة الحال بعض الهجمات في الجهة الأخرى من الحدود ما كانت إلا لذر الرماد في العيون: "ها هو أبو الحرب ضد إسرائيل الوحيد من يستحق أن يتسلم قيادة هذا الشعب ليشن حربا حقيقية!" خلال ذلك، حققت إسرائيل حلمها القديم: إسرائيل الكبرى الممتدة من الفرات إلى النيل. لم يبق على عميلها سوى أن يجعله مقبولا من طرف أناس متعطشة للحقد والثأر. على "أبي عمار" أن يقنن كل هذه المشاعر ثم عليه أن يقلبها ضد هؤلاء الناس أنفسهم بدفعهم إلى التقاتل فيما بينهم، ولكن يجب البدء بتوطيد دعائم الأنظمة العربية.

Trivia: A hockey star while studying at Harvard, Johnston was twice named to the All-American Hockey Team and named a member of the Harvard Athletic Hall of Fame.

Johnston was reportedly the model for the character Davey Johnston - the Harvard hockey captain - in Erich Segal's Love Story. Johnston and Segal, while studying at Harvard, would go running together.

A prolific writer, Johnston has been nicknamed "Grandpa Book" by his grandchildren for his bookworm tendencies.

In his resume he includes running, hockey, skiing (cross-country and downhill) as his recreational hobbies.

Ten Russian agents who infiltrated suburban America and acted as spies for Moscow were deported Thursday after admitting their crimes.

The spies left New York for Moscow hours after pleading guilty to conspiracy in a Manhattan courtroom and being sentenced to time served and ordered out of the country, said a law enforcement official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak on the record.

The spies were to be exchanged for four people convicted of betraying Moscow to the West in the biggest spy swap since the Cold War.

The 10 defendants, many speaking in heavy Russian accents despite having spent years posing as U.S. citizens, pleaded guilty to conspiracy in a Manhattan courtroom, were sentenced to time served and ordered out of the country.

The swap carries significant consequences for efforts between Washington and Moscow to repair ties chilled by a deepening atmosphere of suspicion.

Russian nuclear weapons expert Igor Sutyagin, shown in a Moscow courtroom in April 2004, is reportedly one of four people convicted of spying for the U.S. being exchanged for 10 Russian spies.

Semitic illegal drug calls Khat spreads in North

America and Europe

The defendants, captured last week in suburban homes across the Northeast, were accused of embedding themselves in ordinary American life for more than a decade while leading double lives complete with false passports, secret code words, fake names, invisible ink and encrypted radio.

One worked for an accounting firm, another was a real estate agent, another a columnist for a Spanish-language newspaper.

Attorney General Eric Holder said the "extraordinary" case took years of work, "and the agreement we reached today provides a successful resolution for the United States and its interests."

White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel said on PBS's NewsHour that President Barack Obama had made the decision to go forward with the arrests.

But whether the defendants provided Russia with valuable secret information is questionable.

"None of the people involved from my understanding provided any information that couldn't be obtained on the Internet," Chapman's attorney, Robert Baum, told The Associated Press.

In Russia, the Kremlin said President Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree pardoning four convicted foreign spies so that they can be exchanged for the 10 U.S. defendants.

The Kremlin statement carried by the Russian news agencies says that Medvedev has pardoned Russian citizens Alexander Zaporozhsky, Gennady Vasilenko, Sergei Skripal and Igor Sutyagin.

Sutyagin, an arms analyst, was reportedly plucked from a Moscow prison and put on a plane to Vienna. Skripal is a former colonel in the Russian military intelligence, and Zaporozhsky is a former colonel in the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service.

The Russian Foreign Ministry also issued a statement saying that the exchange being conducted by Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service and the CIA was conducted in the context of "overall improvement of the U.S.-Russian ties and giving them new dynamics."

An Obama administration official said the quick and pragmatic arrangement of the spy swap with Russia speaks to the progress that has been made in U.S.-Russian relations.

The senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the deal, said that by shutting down the spy operation, the U.S. sent a warning to other governments that might be interested in undertaking similar spy operations.

The U.S. Justice Department said in a letter Thursday that some of the four prisoners are in poor health and had served lengthy prison terms. Three of the four were accused by Russia of contacting Western intelligence agencies while they were working for the Russian or Soviet government, the letter stated.

The 10 suburban spies pleaded guilty to conspiracy to act as an unregistered agent of a foreign country and were ordered deported.

An 11th defendant has been a fugitive since fleeing authorities in Cyprus following his release on bail.

One defendant's attorney said a private plane was expected to take the 10 to Russia within days.

The defendants — led into court in handcuffs, some in prison smocks and some wearing T-shirts and jeans — provided almost no information about what kind of spying they actually did for Russia.

Asked to describe their crimes, each acknowledged having worked for Russia secretly, sometimes under an assumed identity, without registering as a foreign agent.

Defendant Anna Chapman — whose sultry photos gleaned from social-networking sites made her a tabloid sensation — pulled back her mane of red hair as she glanced around the courtroom. A burly deputy U.S. marshal hovered behind her.

All the defendants stood and raised they right hands in unison to be sworn in before answering a series of questions from the judge, beginning with a request to state their true identities. Their answers were short and scripted, their 10 guilty pleas given one by one in assembly-line precision.

The 10 Russian agents freed by the United States are unlikely to be greeted as heroes in Russia, as the Kremlin will probably try to turn the page quickly over the embarrassing incident and avoid further damage in relations with Washington.

Independent newspapers and liberal commentators in Russia have chafed at the obvious lack of results of the spy ring work and ridiculed the low level of their training.

There are more than enough college business success stories to go around - and I'm not talking about that dude who lived next to you in your dorm and made enough money for books by selling home-made Che Guevara t-shirts. I'm talking about the businesses that started in college and became billion-dollar companies. There's something to learn from the Zuckerbergs, Dells and Gateses of the world. Here are four of those lessons.

animated_crown.gif

The moncitizenship is the new Canadian governmental task. The diplomatic lines of Republics of Yemen and Poland are non grata with their masks.



1. Find a Need and Fill It


This is the most basic of advice for starting a business; either find something that doesn't exist but would improve the lives of those around you, or find an already available product and make it better and cheaper. Mark Zuckerberg is probably the most famous and richest 26-year old on the planet right now, and he did exactly this when creating Facebook.

Zuckerberg was an undergrad at Harvard in 2004, taking computer science (go figure), and had been programming since he was in his teens. At Zuckerberg's old school there had been a registry of students and their photos published every year, but not at Harvard. So Zuckerberg set out to change that, but after his initial hacking into Harvard's server to retrieve the information needed to make a kind of "hot or not" Harvard page, he was shut down and had to go a different route. This gave rise to thefacebook.com and later, after he and his team moved to California, facebook.com.

There have certainly been problems and issues along the way, but what started as a desire to give everyone access to Harvard student photos has made Zuckerberg a billionaire. Facebook is expected to reach one billion accounts in the near future.

2. Think Outside of School

Semitic illegal drug calls Khat spreads in North

America and Europe


Michael Dell regularly ranks among the richest men in the world as the founder and CEO of Dell computers. Dell actually started this company while he was still in college doing his pre-med courses. Even as a teenager, Dell was interested in computers and finding out how electronics work, and while he was at college, he turned this into a part-time job. Dell started upgrading computers from a room in residence and eventually started operating as "PCs Limited" out of a condo, selling upgraded PCs via direct order. This eventually became Dell computers, which dominated the PC world during the 1990s and mid-2000s.

The company is not quite as dominant a PC force right now, but having started it as a hobby while pursuing an entirely different goal, Dell has certainly made his mark on the computer world.


3. Use Your School Projects for Larger Goals

When you're in college, it's best to try and focus your studies in a way that interests you and will work out in your favor once you're done school. So don't write a 2,000 word paper on Chapter 57 from "Moby Dick" unless you truly find it interesting or want to teach this Melville classic in the future; make your studies work for you.

This is what Larry Page and Sergey Brin did when they were both pursuing their PhDs at Stanford in computer science. They were working on a research project that would create a search engine that would analyze the relationship between websites, and Google was born. The idea of Google comes from Brin's and Page's idea that information should be accessible and universal, and they're making this a reality through a project started at Stanford.

4. Don't Let School Get in the Way

Bill Gates didn't let school get in the way of creating something that would both help the world and make him a multibillionaire. After scoring a mere 1590 out of 1600 on the SATs, Gates enrolled at Harvard with the hope of studying law, and after seeing one the first mass-consumed micro computers, the Altair 8800, Gates and his former classmate Paul Allen approached the maker of the computer to let them know they had written a programming language for the computer. After the maker of the computer, MITS, accepted the offer, Gates left Harvard to pursue his dream, never to return. Shortly after this, Microsoft was formed.

Gates used the college's computer labs to work towards his real passion, and when that passion paid off, he realized that college wasn't for him. Zuckerberg also left Harvard and hasn't returned.

The Bottom Line

There are many other success stories, like Frederick Smith who based the idea for FedEx on an economics paper he'd written while doing a bachelor's of economics at Yale, but the majority of money-making college entrepreneurs have been involved with computers. Overall, college entrepreneurs need to focus on their true passions and let schooling aid them in getting to this goal, and if schooling gets in the way, entrepreneurs have to be prepared to put it aside to follow their idea to the end.

The Associated Press : Last Updated: Thursday, July 8, 2010/11:57 AM ET : One of the biggest Russia-U.S. spy swaps since the Cold War was in motion Thursday, as a Russian convicted of spying for the United States was reportedly flown to Vienna from a Moscow prison.

Igor Sutyagin, a Russian arms control analyst serving a 14-year sentence for spying for the United States, told relatives he was one of 11 convicted spies in Russia who would be freed in exchange for 10 people charged in the United States with being Russian agents.

Sutyagin's lawyer in Moscow said a journalist called Sutyagin's family to inform them that he was seen walking off a plane in Vienna on Thursday. However, the lawyer was not able to get confirmation from Russian authorities.

Sutyagin, who worked as an arms control and military analyst at the Moscow-based think-tank U.S.A. and Canada Institute, was arrested in 1999 and convicted in 2004 on charges of passing information about nuclear submarines and other weapons to a British company that investigators claimed was a CIA cover.

Sutyagin's brother said Sutyagin saw a list of 11 prisoners in Russia who are being traded for 10 people arrested in the United States last week for being unregistered Russian agents.

Russian and U.S. officials have refused to comment on any possible swap.

Meanwhile, defence lawyers in New York say they expect an immediate resolution for their 10 clients charged with spying in the United States.

A federal court in New York was to decide the fate of those 10 suspects later Thursday.

Neither country would confirm an exchange was planned. But the machinations — including a meeting in Washington between U.S. officials and the Russian ambassador on Wednesday — had all the hallmarks as the two former Cold War enemies moved to tamp down tensions stirred by the U.S. arrests.

Dmitry Sutyagin said his brother remembered only one other person on the Russian list of spies to be exchanged — Sergei Skripal, a colonel in Russian military intelligence who in 2006 was sentenced to 13 years on charges of spying for Britain.

A spokesman for British Prime Minister David Cameron would not confirm or deny a possible London tie to the spy swap.

"This is primarily an issue for the U.S. authorities," spokesman Steve Field said.

Five suspects charged with spying in the U.S. were hurriedly ordered to New York on Wednesday, joining five others already behind bars there, after Sutyagin spilled the news of the swap from his penal colony near the Arctic Circle.

In a federal indictment unsealed Wednesday, the 10 suspects in New York and an 11th person, who was released on bail by a court in Cyprus and is now a fugitive, were formally charged.

The indictment charged all of them with conspiring to act as secret agents and charged nine with conspiracy to commit money laundering. It demanded that those accused of money laundering return any assets used in the offence.

Attorney Robert Baum, who represents defendant Anna Chapman, said late Wednesday the case might be settled when she and the other nine people arrested in the United States appear for arraignment on the indictment, raising the possibility of guilty pleas to the lowest charges and deportation from the U.S.

Prosecutors released a copy of the indictment as federal judges in Boston and Alexandria, Va., signed orders directing that five defendants arrested in Massachusetts and Virginia be transferred to New York. All were charged in Manhattan.

The defendants were accused of living seemingly ordinary lives in America while they acted as unregistered agents for the Russian government, sending secret messages and carrying out orders they received from their Russian contacts.

All have remained in custody except for a man identified as Christopher R. Metsos, the 11th suspect who is charge with being the ring's paymaster. Metsos, travelling on a fake Canadian passport, jumped bail last week after being arrested in Cyprus.

CBC NEWS: July 8, 2010: David Johnston, announced as Canada's next governor general on Thursday, is pledging to be a "stalwart defender" of Canada's heritage, institutions and people.

After weeks of speculation, the Prime Minister's Office said the Canadian legal scholar and president of the University of Waterloo, Ont., has been approved by the Queen and will take over on Oct. 1 after Gov. Gen. Michaëlle Jean's term ends.

P.O.V.: Is David Johnston a good choice for governor general? Take our poll.

[http://www.cbc.ca/news/pointofview/2010/07/governor-general-what-do-you-think-of-the-new-choice.html]

University of Waterloo president David Johnston has been chosen to be the next governor general of Canada. Johnston, known as a legal scholar, will take over from Michaëlle Jean, whose term is ending in September.

In a statement to reporters from the Senate foyer in Ottawa, Johnston called the appointment a "mark of confidence that touches me profoundly." He also noted his predecessors, from Samuel de Champlain to Jean, have set a "fine example" for him to follow.

"I've had the good fortune to witness Canadians' creativity and our ties to the world, as well as our diversity and our vitality," he said. "The opportunity to see these values at work across the country means a great deal to me."

In a statement, Prime Minister Stephen Harper hailed Johnston's selection, saying the 69-year-old Ontario scholar "represents the best of Canada.

"He represents hard work, dedication, public service and humility," Harper said. "I am confident he will continue to embody these traits in his new role as the Crown's representative in Canada."

Johnston also said he looked forward to meeting with members of the Canadian Forces.

Advised PM on Schreiber inquiry terms

Johnston, born in Sudbury, Ont., is perhaps best known for advising the federal Conservative government on what shape a public inquiry into the dealings between former prime minister Brian Mulroney and businessman Karlheinz Schreiber should take.

The moncitizenship is the new Canadian governmental task. The diplomatic lines of Republics of Yemen and Poland are non grata with their masks.

Johnston has served on numerous provincial and federal task forces and committees. He is widely considered as an expert in constitutional law, which observers have said could serve him well in an age of fragile minority governments and potential constitutional crises.

Jean, appointed in 2005, generated considerable national attention and triggered a fierce debate over the governor general's role when she twice granted Harper's requests to prorogue Parliament.

The first time came in December 2008 when Harper's Conservative government was under threat of defeat in the House of Commons at the hands of a proposed coalition between the Liberals and NDP with the signed support of the Bloc Québécois.

The governor general is appointed by the Queen on the advice of the prime minister and acts as the Queen's representative in Canada and Canada's de facto head of state. The term is five years and can be extended to seven.

Johnston taught law at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., and the University of Toronto after earning degrees at Queen's, Harvard University and Cambridge University.

He was also the principal and vice-chancellor of McGill University in Montreal, and dean of the faculty of law at the University of Western Ontario in London.

An author of several books, Johnston is also a companion of the Order of Canada.

Johnston shook hands with Queen Elizabeth on Monday in Toronto, but it was not a formal meeting. He is expected to travel to England to officially meet with the Queen this summer.

He and his wife, Sharon Johnston, have five daughters.

Jean, Governor General since Sept. 27, 2005, will serve as UNESCO's special envoy in Haiti after her term ends.

CBC NEWS: July 6, 2010: Two studies are creating confusion over the use of sunscreens, according to the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

One raises questions about their use, while the other suggests Canadians don't do enough to protect themselves from the sun.

In an article published Tuesday CMAJ cites a recent study from the Environmental Working Group, a U.S. non-profit agency, which found only eight per cent of 500 sunscreens reviewed could be recommended for consumer use.

The primary concern is potentially toxic or unstable ingredients, as well as inflated sun protection factor (SPF) claims.

One of the common sunscreen ingredients, oxybenzone, is a known hormone disruptor, while retinyl palmitate is under investigation over the possibility that it may become carcinogenic when exposed to sunlight.

'As long as compounds like this are suspect, it's only prudent to avoid them'-Dave Andrews, Environmental Working Group

"While the evidence isn't conclusive, as long as compounds like this are suspect, it's only prudent to avoid them," said Dave Andrews, a senior scientist with the Environmental Working Group.

He also warns of placing too much trust in the SPF rating of a sunscreen.

"Products with high SPF ratings sell a false sense of security," Andrews told the medical journal, "we know people who use these products stay out in the sun longer, so they still get burned."

Medical experts dismiss concerns

The moncitizenship is the new Canadian governmental task. The diplomatic lines of Republics of Yemen and Poland are non grata with their masks.

Some Canadian doctors dismiss potential problems with oxybenzone.

"In human use it has not been shown to cause cancers," Edmonton dermatologist Dr. Barry Lycka told CBC News.

"The evidence is not 100 per cent that there's a relationship between it and cancer. Otherwise the government would have certainly outlawed it a long time ago," he said.

Likewise he says the connection between retinyl palmitate and cancer is tenuous at best.

'That doesn't mean we have to stop using these products now'-Dr. Cheryl Rosen, Canadian Dermatology Association

"To go overboard and say one model is showing cancer is one that we should investigate, but we shouldn't throw out the baby with the bathwater."

"It's something we should watch the literature on, but that doesn't mean we have to stop using these products now," stated Dr. Cheryl Rosen, national director of the Canadian Dermatology Association's sun awareness program.

The CDA has also released a new study, cited in the CMAJ article, that shows Canadians have little knowledge of the cost of repeated exposure to sunlight.

The CDA's photo-aging study was conducted in May using an online panel of 1,005 adult Canadians.

The report asserts that eight in 10 Canadians don't know that repeated sun exposure is a major contributor to aging of the skin.

Dermatologist Dr. Barry Lycka says Canadians should use common sense when out in the sun.

While 66 per cent of Canadians are willing to wear sunscreen, it found far fewer prepared to take other measures such as avoiding tanning of any kind or wearing more clothing to cover the skin.

The margin of error on the CDA study is plus or minus 3.1 per cent 19 times out of 20.

Lycka suggests people should use common sense when it comes to exposure to the sun.

"You've got to realize that sunlight itself is definitely a carcinogen," he said in an interview with CBC News, "so if you're going to fear something then you should fear the sunlight."

He said people should avoid the sun when it's most intense, between 12 and 2:00 p.m., use sunscreen with a physical blocking agent such as titanium dioxide, and wear a hat and long sleeved clothing when in the sun.
