Some Pentagon officials have said there would be dramatic policy changes in the as gay soldiers were to be involved in such things as on-base housing and social events.

Violence and chaos rack France

Riot police clash with a youth in Lyon as violent protests on pension reforms. Photo: AP source: the Australian

WORKERS at a higher retirement age blocked access to airports in Paris and across the country last night.

Hooded youths, smashed shop Windows in the meantime amid clouds of tear gas outside the capital.

Riot police in black body armour forced striking workers from blocked fuel depots in Western France, recovery of petrol to areas where pumps were dry after weeks of protests over the decision to raise the retirement age of 60 to 62.

Riot officers in the suburb of Paris from Nanterre and the southeastern city of Lyon tear gas sprayed but appeared unable to stop the violence this week after months of largely peaceful protests broke out.

President Nicolas Sarkozy vowed last night that his Union for a popular movement party reform would pass in a Senate vote expected tonight.

Mr Sarkozy said he would "wearing the pension reform through to the end" as k's tolerance for a long tradition of strikes and protest seemed to be waning after weeks of snarled traffic, flights cancelled and decreasing gasoline supplies and now increasing urban violence.

Demonstrators, the main road leading to one of the two terminals at Orly airport last night, blocked, then moved to block the way to the other terminal.

At the airport Charles de Gaulle to the North of Paris, the nation's largest, sang demonstrators the French national anthem before through a police barricade to push.

The CGT Transport Union says protests also completed the Clermont-Ferrand airport in the South and airports in Nice and Nantes disturbed.

With almost a third of France's petrol stations dry, authorities, stepped without incident at night to force open three fuel depots blocked by striking workers for days, Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux said.

Mr Hortefeux warned that the blockades threatened emergency services and can have serious consequences for the whole of the French economy and public health and safety. "The right to strike gives everyone the right to prevent people from work or the right to block things, or the right to prevent travel, "he said.

"The right to protest is not the right to break things, the right to change things on fire, the right to the attack, the right to plunder. we will use all means necessary to these offenders."

In the past week, 1423 people are held for protest-related violence and 123 are facing charges. Police look at video surveillance to find more offenders.

In Nanterre last night about 100 students blocked the entrance to the school and part of the highway for the school, while a "rest team" of about 30 adults in special Red coats tried to keep things calm. Then about 100 other young people arrived and began walked through the streets of the city, smashing shop Windows and throwing stones.

New clashes broke out In Lyon, with rioters throwing projectiles and netting of torches. Police responded with tear gas.

This week's clashes revived memories of student unrest in 2006 that forced the Government to give another very unpopular Labour Bill. And the specter of 2005 riots which spread by poor housing projects with disenfranchised immigrant populations is never far away.

Students planning new protests tonight, with a demonstration in Paris hours before the Senate is expected to approve the pension measure.

Anti-U.S. sentiments in the new world-Lance Rants

2010-10-16T18:37:00.000-07:00

You know you have heard many anti-American type comments in world news. Well if the rest of our constantly chastises to give us? Well stop giving, i.e. common sense. We are under no obligation to pay money for Palestinians who voted on Hamas, an international terrorist organization as their leadership.

The Palestians must be bused home young in Zimbabwe and can become farmers there and work the land.No Jews would attack there last time I checked and there were lots of squatters are so Palestinians will fit just fine.

And I suggest that Al Jazeera is the enemy of the UNITED STATES to receive consumer misinformation and inciting international terrorism and that we must disappear through missiles. Some even have gone so far to say. all sites, all personal homes of executives and all satellite relay systems immediately.Perhaps this is more or less, but you should take a hard line and get rid of this threat is not good, no more money, no more games more. We cannot win the hearts and minds of people to respond in the Middle East, so it is better to be very afraid and Respected, such as all these bad.

The good people there should be increased and underwriting or form part of the problem, not the solution and should not support everyone who is part of the problem for the cruel, who cares?Be tolerant doesn't work.That this 2006.

News of the World

2010-10-16T12:20:00.000-07:00

When it was released in 1977, News of the World seemed at loggerheads with a music world that had moved beyond Queen's operatic pomprock and on to punk. In fact, the album was more in step with the punk scene than the output of most superstar acts of the time, as it contains Roger Taylor's furious "Sheer Heart Attack" and Freddie Mercury's lean, brutal "Get Down, Make Love." Of course, News is famous for its opening medley, "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions." Attend any sports event in the Western world, and you'll hear the former. If it's a championship match and the home team wins, you'll hear the latter. That's a tribute to the staying power of the music, but News of the World offers proof that, even as Queen maintained their position as rock & roll royalty, they continued to evolve and react to the times. --Daniel Durchholz

Gates: U.S. takes son Kim Jong Il will

2010-10-16T06:56:00.000-07:00

North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, Center, in an undated photo of State-owned media appears in frail health.Ailing Kim Jong Il probably his son as his SuccessorKim name Jong-UN military personnel into a rare party conferenceU.S named. Defense chief problem addressed after a meeting with South Korea's Defense Minister

Washington (CNN)--USA expected that the youngest son of the North Korean leader Kim Jong Il will succeed his ill father, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said Friday.

"This is the assumption that we all work."That [the son] indeed at some point, that the leading role, ", said at a press conference with South Korean Defense Minister Kim Tae-young gates."

Global trade News

2010-10-15T21:00:00.000-07:00

During the past week, the world has witnessed a series of events that influenced the various sectors of the growing global economy. On one hand, some events promised more developments and expansion not only in the international trade but also in specific countries. On the other hand, some occurrences may negatively impact or alter certain aspects of world trade including the economy of the country specifically involved.

Oil Price Rolls Back in the World market

The entire week is full of good news for oil importers worldwide. Since Monday, the oil price decreased by $2 per barrel in the world market. Prior to that, the value of oil kept on increasing due to the disruption of supply in Iraq as well as in Nigeria. According to the report by Mohamed El Baradei, director of International Atomic Energy Agency, Iraq has been planning to empower its production of nuclear fuel. The news has caused tension and raised concerns regarding nuclear weapons. Discussion about the issue is currently ongoing. The IAEA will talk about the subject on its scheduled meeting on March 6. After which, the report will be handed to the U.N security for final assessment.

The almost $2 decrease of oil price in the world market was caused by a failed terrorist attack that took place at the largest oil plant in Saudi. The situation though was immediately controlled by the Saudi forces that were roused to full alert because of the tension. The oil supply though was not disrupted within the country despite the attack. The value of light crude oil decreased by $1.91 while the price of brent crude oil lowered to $1.61.

The opposite situation, however, is taking place in Nigeria. Just recently, the oil price rose up to more than $2 per barrel. The sudden increase was influenced by the news of the Saudi terrorist attack. Moreover, another reason was oil supply within the Nigerian region was cut by 13,000 barrels per day due to the discovery of a leak. The series of militant threats and attacks within the region also prompted the increase of the oil price.

According to energy analysts, the improvement of the oil price in the world market would have been even better. However, there are several factors (like the focus of the oil market on short-term inventory data) that prevent more positive results. Currently, the oil price still remains close to $61 per barrel as a result of Algeria's plea to OPEC for market stability.

Meanwhile, Shell, which is the third leading oil company, has gained a total of $23 B profit last year. This should be an enough reason to celebrate, but the huge oil company is currently facing the need to improve and expand its oil resources. Otherwise, it will run out off supply in the future. According to reports, Shell was only able to replace between 60% - 70% of the gas it used for production last year. In 2004, the percentage was even lower with only 19% or replacement.

Shell, however, is making use of its large assets in order to meet the stiff market competition. Its oil reserve projects located in Nigeria, Sakhalin Island, and Gulf of Mexico are currently underway. The success of these projects would definitely empower the company's future possibilities.

Regions in the U.S particularly East Coast and Nigeria are also facing issues with regard to their oil supply. This problem may eventually result to changes in the price of fuel. This situation is primarily caused by the shift in the chemical used in the fuel refining process. Formerly, MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) was used during the process. The use of MTBE, nevertheless, led to problems and protests regarding water pollution and the contamination of water supply. As an alternative, fuel companies in the U.S particularly in the East Coast and Texas are utilizing ethanol. The problem though is that ethanol is not abundantly produced within the country. Moreover, the fuel refining needs are greater than the amount of reserve available. As a solution, the U.S government is currently importing ethanol from Brazil while it continues to construct more ethanol plants within the country.

The campaign for energy independence in the U.S is also receiving negative feedbacks. Critics such as Tom Friedman of The New York Times commented that the government should focus on other more relevant issues aside from it. The claim that while energy independence may be motivated by noble purposes, it might not be the wisest move now. The government should look for other more practical alternatives. Besides, the big budget energy independence demands could be allotted to the other sectors of the economy and government.

The Various Auto Companies Continue to Grow and Expand in the World market.

The discussion regarding oils issues leads us to another important area, which is the car industry. Generally, auto companies reported notable developments and expansions during this week. Last Wednesday, Nanjing Automobile acquired the MG Rover plant at Longbridge, England for a 33 year lease from St. Modwen Properties Plc. The leading Chinese auto maker is said to have paid 1.8 M pounds for the 105 acre factory. Nanjing surprised the global car industry last July 2005 when it bought MG rover for around 53 M pounds thus outbidding its fellow Chinese competitor, Shanghai Automotive Corp. The big move is part of the company's vision to become one of the leading car brands in the world.

Honda Motors Co. is also getting more attention form the international auto market after it disclosed its plans to produce a hybrid yet low priced version of its Fit subcompact. The car maker intends to release the hybrid design next year. Honda representatives, nevertheless, clarified that the hybrid technology will be distributed only at a lower scale. This is due to the design's very expensive production cost. However, Honda is also developing smaller battery and motors that would help reduce the hybrid cost in the future. This venture is part of Honda's goal to beat the problem of high-gasoline consumption through specially designed automobiles. Aside from Honda, other companies that have joined the market for hybrid cars are Ford and Toyota.

Based on its recent report, Ford Motor Co. has dropped down in its sales by 4% last month. Another company that has followed the same trend is General Motors. According to GM, its sales also decreased by 2.5%. Meanwhile, the total sales of both Toyota and DaimlerChrysler continued to improve this year. Particularly, the Chrysler Group jumped in its sales by 3% of around 190,367 cars. Some of the most popular automobiles sold by the company are: Dodge automobiles, Chrysler, and Jeep. Chrysler's Mercedes-Benz also improved by 28%. Toyota reported that its sales within the U.S alone rose by 2.4% to around 166,940 cars last February.

Although Ford's sales on Jaguar have decreased last year, the auto maker declared that it has no plans of selling Jaguar. Ford bought the famous car brand back in 1989 for around 1.6B pounds. This year, the car company is positive that Jaguar sales is going to recover and improve. Ford is also set to release a new car model that would be hitting Europe soon. This is part of its strategy to keep up with the strong competition against other auto giants especially those that come from Asia.

As part of its move to recover from its losses, General Motors officially tasked Jerry York as its newest member of the board. York is noted for its remarkable achievements at Chrysler and IBM. Although GM has been receiving negative feedbacks lately, York is positive that the company is going to recover. During his January speech, he proposed five things to the GM management: first, to make the expectation of revenue and cost more realistic; second, reduction of product offerings; third, review the whole company with an unbiased perspective; fourth, focus on core businesses; fifth, set a clear vision for the company.

Several Computer Companies Seek for Expansion

In terms of technology, Intel Corp. recently got the official permission from Vietnam in order to construct a microchip plant within its territory. Earlier, the leading microchip company, proposed the $605M project, which will be built at Ho Chi Minh city. Vietnam would surely benefit from the budget since the project is expected to attract more foreign investors in the country.

Meanwhile, Lenovo computer company has announced its plans to release computers that bear the company's name. Lenovo computers formerly carried the logo of IBM. The company stated that the move is part of its plans to establish itself in the worldwide market of computer technology.

Just recently, Apple computers invited several analysts and new reporters to its Cupertino base in order to check out its so-called "new and fun products." So what's up with the big bang? Rumor has it that Apple is intending to expand its technological products into Hollywood. Apparently, its iTunes has been contributing to the promotion of many TV programs. Again, there's a possibility that the latest rumors could again turn out to be wrong. Yet then invitation given by Apple is surely a good sign that the company is up of a big bang of a surprise for everyone.

As part of China's vision to improve its local technological industries, Vice Premier Wu Yi vowed last Thursday to strengthen the fight against illegal copying of softwares, music, and videos. Piracy has been a growing problem in the country for years. Despite several attempts to combat it, the problem continues to spread. In fact, piracy in China has roused international complaints including the report made by Washington. Now, the Vice Premier pledged to strengthen the battle against piracy not only as a response to these foreign complaints, but also as part of China's goal to improve its local technology.

More Developments in Various Sectors to Boost Global Trade

Just recently, Morgan Stanley decided to invest around $68 M to Mantri Developers Private Ltd. which is a property development company based in Bangalore, India. The decision is part of Morgan Stanley's plan of venturing into the global stream of real estate. At the same time the investment, would also help Mantri in its plans for national expansion. Real estate is currently booming in India due to the increasing demands for housing projects and office buildings. This economic rise is also attracting many foreign investors now.

In terms of health, Roche finally got the approval from the U.S drug regulatory board to release Rituxan as the newest drug to treat rheumatoid arthritis. The approval of the new medicine does not only promise more profit on the part of Roche, but it gives likewise hope for the patients who have not responded to other standard treatments of rheumatoid arthritis.

U.S faces Several Economic Concerns

Based on the latest report, the trade gap between exports and imports in the U.S has increased during the past year from 18% - 75% of a trillion dollar. This is due to the fact that American consumers have continued to demand for more imported products such as oil, vehicles, and other goods. According to analysts, only a 57% increase in exports can bridge the gap. It must be noted the U.S. is a leading exporter in certain goods such as aircrafts. Although the sales of durable goods decreased during the past year, producing companies such as Boeing hope to improve in their sales in the succeeding years.

Meanwhile, the huge damage left by hurricane Katrina has also caused the insurance companies in the U.S to adjust their premiums. The adjustment is deemed necessary in order to cover the potential loss that would be caused by future catastrophes.

There's also good news regarding IT job opportunities based in the U.. Although many American companies are resorting into offshore services now, IT employment opportunities continue to grow in the U.S This is due to the fact that there are still certain IT tasks that needs to be based within its territory.

When you turn on TV or read the newspaper it seems that there is a constant bombardment of negative events from around the world. Today I decided to try and sort the day's top stories into categories and try to determine if they have deteriorated or if we simply more of them:

1. global economic trends-recent months have seen called "unprecedented" problems with the purchase of shares has been a roller coaster ride, and the demise of many large companies.Companies that previously was viable turn now to Federal Government call for competition or charity because of mismanagement in the past. Fluctuations of the dollar, and instability in commercial relationships have led to more countries to recognize that what happens in other countries too affect us all.

2. Personal financial problems-either cause or effect, individuals and families is injured in a variety of ways.The closure of industries and organizations resulted in layoffs of thousands of workers in the United States mortgage meltdown has placed pressure on home-owners not exceeding provide their payments. Fluctuating costs for oil and gas in conjunction with the rising cost of food has forced people to turn to Community organizations to support or undertake more jobs in an effort to pay bills and support their families.

3. Health Issues-because the mortality increased, we have more older people and sets requirements for the next generation when it comes to ensure compliance with health and personal needs. Time, money and stress can occur when a caregiver is responsible for looking after a parent (s), and children while trying to juggle a career.There seems to be a strong educational component with us means that encourages us to develop good health practices.

4. War and terrorism-remember the horrors to hear that there were over 100 wars going on once before a few years ago.The September 11th terrorist activity; reminded the world that we are not Invincible and we can leave our still originating in countries to experience trauma or collision; every week we hear of bomb attacks, threats deliberate germ line warfare or murder.

5. Climatic disturbances-until India recently encountered a tsunami, not even the world.The devastation of hurricanes in New Orleans haunted us all as we watched helplessly standing by, watching the fight of the victims.Earthquakes, snow storms and floods in various parts of the world captures our attention on a regular basis.

6. crime and murder-shock at how many school shooting, murder-suicides within families and armed robbery are reported in the media every week.No immunity in trouble sporting and political figures and often lose respect for someone who was previously "hero" after accused sexual misdemeanors or unethical practices.

When I think of the above, I am reminded that history repeats itself ... We abuse and murder from biblical days Cain and Abel. Wars have been reported since the beginning of the year and are always the "haves" and "have nots" when it comes to economic wealth; even those who claim that weather patterns have changed, I admit that there have been always reads the devastation caused by extreme situations.

It may be true that the more things change, most remain the same; it may be all you hear about most often and faster because of the technology and media circles.
