Fatima Bhutto: vital by the bullet

When Fatima Bhutto was a small girl, she would lay with her father as he shaved in the sunrise and fake to be him. Together, they would wash their faces, brush their teeth, afterwards her father, the domestic romantic Mir Murtaza Bhutto, would kindly well-spoken his small daughters face with shred cream. And she copied his movements, cadence by stroke. What Fatima loves the majority about that memory, she says now, was that her father never scolded her, never told her that this was something she should not do given she was a girl. "Lathering up and shaving, she says, "was usually the small routine.

When Fatima was 14, she cowered in the dressing-room of her relatives room in Karachi, her behind opposite the sealed door. She was helmet her six-year-old brother, Zulfikar, from a fusillade of bullets outward her house. "Its usually fireworks, Fati, conspicuous the still small boy. But Fatima, who was regularly correct over her years, knew differently she accepted something about aroused deaths. Her family was tormented with them.

Pakistan faces polite fight after Bhutto assassination Benazir Bhutto convene strike by self-murder bomber Fatima Bhutto A beauty to tame George Clooney ? and even Pakistan? Pakistan boss cleansing Benazir Bhutto supporters George Clooney is dating Benazir Bhuttos niece Barcelona v Chelsea Florent Malouda ready to infer his value in Champions League tie

Her grandfather Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, a former budding apportion of Pakistan, was executed by General Zia-ul-Huq in 1979, and her dear uncle Shahnawaz Bhutto was tainted in the south of France in 1985. (That crime has still not been solved, though the family blames possibly Zia or the CIA.) At the time of Mir Murtazas genocide in Sep 1996, Fatimas father was an outspoken competition of the supervision that happened to be run by his disloyal sister, Benazir Bhutto. He had separate from her party, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) founded by their father, and combined a crush group, the PPP-Shaheed Bhutto.

Fatima, right afar twenty-eight and one of Pakistans majority outspoken domestic commentators and amicable activists, had accepted what it meant to live with a antagonistic supervision given 1993, when the family returned to Pakistan from outcast and Mir was arrested at the airport, and charged with 90 crimes by his sisters regime. He subsequently outlayed majority months in prison. But the days heading up to his genocide were quite tense. "Since his birthday, Sep 18, armoured column had been rolling up around the house, she says. "And it usually felt wrong that day.

She remembers that her father was rapt on Sep 27. He had conspicuous he was going to a press conference. He did not eat lunch with the family as usual. A venerable teenager, Fatima had usually perceived a stipulate for her initial book of poetry, Whispers in the Desert, and she indispensable a primogenitor to pointer it. "He conspicuous he would pointer it in jail, she said. "He approaching to be arrested after the press conference. But not killed.

After the gunshots outward the residence stopped, Fatimas stepmother, Ghinwa, who had lifted her as a daughter given she was four, came for the immature kids and the family hid in the drawing-room. Then Fatima called her Aunt Benazir. "She did not take the call, she says. Instead, Asif Zardari, Benazirs father and the man who is right afar the boss of Pakistan, took the call.

"Dont you know? he conspicuous evenly. "Your fathers been shot.

Six alternative men died along with Mir Murtaza that day. The red red red blood was fast privileged off the road, the potion swept up. (It was an scary indication of Benazirs own attempted attempted attempted attempted attempted attempted murder eleven years later, when the justification was additionally right afar removed.) There was no eccentric debate inquest. The harmed were taken to clinics that were not versed for puncture surgery, and Fatima believes her father would not have bled to genocide if he had been brought to a hospital.

More disturbingly, the troops would not let the family leave the residence until it was as well late, citing as an forgive that it was dangerous given a spoliation had taken place. Medical annals infer that her father was shot five times, and that the shot that killed him was dismissed at point-blank range. It haunts her that whilst he lay draining not far from the house, she was trapped inside by the police.

"When we got to the clinic, I saw his legs, she says. "Thats all I saw.

Significantly, it has never been dynamic who was obliged for the assassination, and a small of the policemen indicted were not scrupulously brought to justice. "They were imprisoned, but in oppulance sanatorium suites, not correct prisons, Fatima says. "And not for prolonged either, given the sobriety of the charges opposite them. They were never convicted.

Zardari was arrested after Benazirs supervision fell in Nov 1996, indicted of crime and Murtazas attempted attempted attempted attempted attempted attempted murder (of that he was cleared), and remained in jail until Nov 2004. "Again, jail is a lax tenure for how he was kept, Fatima says.

After her fathers death, Fatimas attribute with her important aunt became estranged, nonetheless formerly they had been close. Fatima claims that Benazir would mostly try to convince her to come to family events and "get the camera crews along so she could infer she had zero to do with it. One weird item of the eventuality is that when Benazir rushed to the sanatorium where Mir Murtaza lay dying, she was not wearing any boots an action that Ghinwa and Fatima regularly saw as deeply suspicious, as though she were perplexing to infer she had been held off guard.

Even though a legal judiciary ruled the attempted attempted attempted attempted attempted attempted murder could not have happened but the capitulation of the tip turn of supervision and that Benazirs administration department was "probably complicit, she and Zardari regularly denied involvement. "The troops pulled the trigger, but Benazir and Asif had the dignified responsibility, Fatima says now, sitting on the patio of the Karachi house, 70 Clifton, that is one of the majority important addresses in Pakistan. It was here that Benazir grew up, here that she tied together Asif Zardari in the sensuous grassed area in 1987, and outward these gates that Mir Murtaza was murdered. It is right afar the home of the last of the Bhuttos Ghinwa (whom Fatima calls "Mummy); Fatima; her precious adopted six-year-old hermit Mir Ali (pronounced "Miralee), and her hermit Zulfikar, when he is behind from England, where he is at school. Fatimas cousin Sassi, the daughter of the murdered Shah Nawaz, additionally stays here when she comes from her home in America.

Fatima is small and beautiful, but mostly unknowingly of her beauty. She wears spare jeans that she buys in a travel market, ballet slippers and T-shirts from the Sunday concert (Bob Marley, Lynyrd Skynyrd) or normal Pakistani kurtas that friends have for her. She does not eat sugarine and practises yoga daily. Her face is transparent of make-up (unlike her aunt, who precious red lipstick and thick foundation). Also distinct Benazir, who favourite to fool around up to the cameras, Fatima does not wear a veil, except, ironically, at funerals. She wears sleeveless dresses, not unequivocally the normal in regressive Pakistan. "I wear them given I live in a prohibited country. Its the Saudis who brought the burka to Pakistan. My parents mom regularly wore saris to state visits, and they were short-sleeved and elegant.

Fourteen years have left by given her fathers death. But each day of her life, Fatima lives with that attempted attempted attempted attempted attempted attempted murder in her head. She has to live with the actuality that it is right afar Zardari who runs the country. She is a thorn in his side, but has no attribute with him. She sees him go to the White House on central visits. She sees him with Gordon Brown.

The down payment in in between Fatima and her father was unusually strong. When she talks about him, she still cries. But conjunction she nor Ghinwa a tall, big-hearted lady who left her local Lebanon to follow Mir Murtaza to Pakistan harbours anger. "Anger cooking you up, creates you nauseous and in conclusion kills you, says Ghinwa, who is a domestic romantic and authority of the PPP-Shaheed Bhutto party. "And if it kills us, afterwards those killers have finished their job, not usually murdering those men, but murdering their family groups as well.

"I was indignant for a prolonged time afterwards, but at a small point I realised that itself is an action of violence, Fatima says. "It is improved to find justice.

Her approach of looking probity was to write her fathers story. Songs of Blood and Sword is published subsequent week. Its a daughters memoir, but it is some-more than that. Through the story of the Bhutto family, abounding feudal landlords of a soldier caste, she tells the story of the newly combined state of Pakistan. It is a book about the energy of love, but additionally about a poke to revenge her fathers heartless murder.

She additionally did it to safety his memory. "I used to say, after he died, well, hes been passed five years, but I had him for 14, she says. "And this year it is fourteen years given he died. She wipes her eyes. "Hes been passed for as prolonged as I had him.

Fatima Bhutto was innate on May 29, 1982, underneath curfew, in Kabul, Afghanistan, at the tallness of the fight in in between the Soviet-led supervision and the US-backed Mujahideen. Her father was in outcast from the Zia system of administration department with his brother, Shahnawaz. Fatimas mom was an Afghan, Fowzia (Shahnawaz tied together Fowzias sister, who was after indicted of his murder). Fatima and the family have no hit with Fowzia or her sister, though they do see her daughter, Sassi.

On the day Fatima was born, as if a messenger of the play her hold up would after hold, Afghan-istans Najibullah supervision placed special infantry around the sanatorium in expectation of her birth. They were disturbed that the sanatorium competence turn a Mujahideen target.

Her father precious her from the beginning. "Tall, similar to me, he wrote on the behind of one print taken when she was 4 weeks old. Her attribute with her biological mother, however, was strained. "She regularly fearful me, Fatima writes in her book. Eventually, the family left for the Middle East, and when Fatima was 3 years old, Fowzia and her father separate up. Fatima stayed with her father and frequency saw her mother, nonetheless there was a sour control conflict after Mir Murtaza died.

"Maybe it is my fault, she writes in her book. "Maybe my heart was as well full and I never privileged it to have space for Fowzia. She was cared for by Mir Murtaza. The dual were inseparable. He took her to her dance classes, swimming, to meetings. "He cut my hair, ready to go me, bathed me, she says. "I was a tomboy. Every design I see of the dual together in the Bhutto devalue shows a tiny, round-eyed small lady on her fathers lap.

She went to the American School in Karachi, and after her fathers death, Fatima one after another to study, as if to have Mir Murtaza a Harvard connoisseur proud. She did Middle Eastern Studies at Columbia in New York, graduating tip of her category summa cum laude. Then she finished her MA at Londons School of Oriental and African Studies. Later, returning home to Pakistan after years away, she worked as a campaigning journalist, a human rights and womens romantic and a columnist. She wrote a book about the 2005 trembler and the victims, that was hailed as supportive and perceptive.

In Dec 2007, Benazir was assassinated. Fatima was in Larkana, the rather murky family estate in Sindh province, eight hours expostulate by dry fields from Karachi, at the time. Although she was prolonged disloyal from Benazir, she was unequivocally shocked. "It was similar to a distressing djà vu; the roughly as if each 10 years someone in the family is vigourously murdered. And the approach the troops spotless up the red red red blood from her attempted attempted attempted attempted attempted attempted murder stage as fast as they spotless up my fathers brought behind distressing memories.

These days, hold up in 70 Clifton passes solemnly and languidly; the residence is an oasis in Karachi, that is right afar aroused and tormented with gangs, corruption, poverty, and a tact belligerent for in advance jihadists. Despite this, Fatima has majority friends that she grew up with at the American School, and goes out to small restaurants and her yoga classes. She has guards, but they are some-more similar to family members friends of the celebration than armed militia. And she travels mostly to Europe, nonetheless she likes to keep her hold up as in isolation as possible. Anything she does ends up in the press, so she keeps a low profile.

At home, hold up is quiet, with the receptive to recommendation of the mynah birds entrance from the grassed area outside. It is a simple, family hold up with a lot of love in the household. Ghinwa, a committed vegan, cooks unusual meals and bakes cakes. Mir Ali plays with his Spider-Man toys and delights the household. (Ghinwa adopted him when he was a month old as a approach of attempting to heal the suffering after Mirs death.) Fatima writes and oversees assorted charities one morning, we go to a home for deserted girls for that she has been on condition that computers, donated by friends in London. Another time, we go to the Sunday marketplace to buy string T-shirts, that she will take to women in jail to amplify and sell. She loves to write. "Its all I ever longed for to do, she says. When she was small she used to "interview her father with a hand-held radio. She is sexually disturbed about the state of her nation and the 162 million inhabitants, but says she will never go in to politics. "Its not about birthright, she says.

She is single, and not disturbed about it. She wants immature kids unequivocally much, and will probably adopt as well as carrying her own, as she sees the happiness Mir Ali has brought to the family. She says she will wed for love, not for sacrament and the stories that have appeared in the publication press about her and George Clooney are rubbish. She misses her hermit Zulfi terribly when he is afar at school. They verbalise each day, and she bosses him around similar to a big sister would. She says that she and Ghinwa jokingly impute to each alternative as "an old tied together integrate as they are so close. "I still lay on her path sometimes, she laughs.

We do yoga in the mornings in Zulfis old portrayal college of music Fatima is vehement that she can right afar do the bluster poise and splash a lot of tea. She talks about her subsequent project, a reportage story of Karachi, of the gangs, misery and corruption. She cant unequivocally go out by herself but zero seems to dismay her, nonetheless she admits that she had be scared attacks for a prolonged time after her fathers death. She is additionally a ongoing insomniac, similar to her father.

One night we have cooking at home at the turn list unaware the gardens with her dear crony Sabeen Jatoi. Sabeen is 6 years comparison than Fatima. Her father, Ashiq, was additionally killed that night by the troops he was a domestic romantic along with Mir and the dual women have a unequivocally clever bond.

"I recollect my hermit was late removing to propagandize in England that year, Sabeen says. "What could he say? Excuse me for being late, my father was usually gunned down by police. She puts down her fork. "That does not only assistance to have friends.

Jatoi is a lawyer, and as ardent and committed to anticipating out the law as Fatima. We speak for a prolonged time about anger, about how it perpetuates vengeance. "Eventually I usually had to let it go, Jatoi says. "Which does not meant you forget.

Fatima goes behind to the night of the murders. While watchful in the sanatorium to give red red red blood to her father, she bumped in to Sabeen. "Papa needs blood, Papa needs blood, she kept repeating. Sabeen was looking for her own father. Later, at the 40-day protocol condolences, Sabeen came up to Fatima and embraced her. "We dont censure you, she said.

"All I recollect after it was a lot of love, Fatima says. "People kept entrance to the residence to joy us, to console. I felt surrounded by so most love.

Songs of Blood and Sword is powerful. Fatima wrote it as a publisher would, utilizing her inquisitive training. In a small ways, she had to put her love in reserve and be objective. Does she think her father was defence from the crime that tormented the Bhuttos? What did she find out about him along the way?

"That he did not similar to Woody Allen movies, she says. "I never knew he did not similar to Woody Allen movies. Then, flourishing some-more serious, she says how unpleasant it was to excavate in to the routine of recording a fathers hold up and death. "I did not wish to write a hagiography, she says. She knows her father was flawed. So she began a excursion around the universe that took her from Greece where she found one his initial loves, a lady declared Della, who helped her uncover pieces of her father by letters, memories and friends, to Texas, to Harvard, to visits to the Karachi troops and healing examiners who tended her father when he was dying.

She saw lawyers in France who worked on the box of her uncle Shahnawaz. She trawled by writings from the barbarous 1981 Pakistan International Airways hijacking, and concludes in the book that whilst her father was concerned in the negotiations of the hostages, he was not concerned in the hijacking. (He was posthumously clear of this assign in 2003.) "Look, he and my uncle were immature and ardent and perplexing to overpower a troops dictatorship. But they did not take lives.

While writing, she sealed herself afar in the family home in Sindhi, a prolonged approach from internet and mobile phone networks. She additionally outlayed time in an unit in France, articulate to no one but herself for 3 weeks. "I got overly suspicious whilst I was writing, she says. "I did not wish people in Karachi to know what I was doing. I usually longed for to get this book out. I longed for to request it, have it on record, have an archive. (Penguin India has paid for the Pakistan rights. It will be published in India and distributed in Pakistan.)

She is critical and "sober, as one of the Pakistani writings calls her, a bluestocking, an out-of-date intellectual. At times girlish she gives good beauty recommendation about how to request eyeliner and make use of grained mustard oil to condition hair. She regularly wears a small bronze long knife around her neck. It belonged to her father, and it reminds her, always, of her birthright. Not as a domestic dynasty, but as a fighter, as someone looking truth.

As if by chance, lying in my bed at 70 Clifton in the bedrooms once used by her father and her uncle Shahnawaz, surrounded by their books and briefcases and family photos I see that in the cover I have used to take records on Fatima, I additionally have records from an talk I did with a important French psychiatrist, Boris Cyrulnik. Cyrulnik is eminent for his work on mishap and resilience, and victims of violence. It is his idea that notwithstanding horrific incidents that occur to individuals, they can go on to grasp unusual things.

I had asked Cyrulnik how people heal from trauma, how they forget. "They never forget, he said. "The wound remains. But they proceed to set up good strength from that, they have the genius to create, to live, to go on and do good things.

I think of the 14-year-old Fatima stealing in a dressing-room, safeguarding her small hermit from the killers of her father. I think how dire her hold up has been, afterwards I think of what she has finished and what she will do. And I can think of no one improved to lift the word "resilient.

The drug Herceptin and Tykerb when since together valid to significantly stop expansion expansion in gastric cancers that had amplified levels of HER2, a turn that formula in an assertive form of the disease, causing the cancers to grow and drawn out faster. The work was finished both on cell lines and in animal models with human HER2-amplified gastric cancers.

Between eighteen and twenty-seven percent of gastric cancers vaunt HER2 amplification, so the anticipating -- if reliable in humans -- could yield a new, some-more in effect and less poisonous diagnosis choice for tens of thousands of patients diagnosed each year worldwide with gastric cancers that lift the mutation, pronounced Dr. Zev Wainberg, a Jonsson Cancer Center researcher and initial writer of the study.

This investigate adds serve await to the judgment that if you aim a specific gene in gastric cancer, a some-more tailored diagnosis proceed can be considered, pronounced Wainberg, an partner highbrow of hematology/oncology. This investigate additionally provides serve explanation to what we already know -- that is that gastric cancer is grown for the expansion of targeted therapies.

The investigate appears in the Mar 1, 2010 issue of the biography Clinical Cancer Research.

Herceptin, grown formed on simple and clinical investigate finished in Jonsson Cancer Center laboratories, has been total with chemotherapy with good success to provide initial women with HER2 amplified metastatic breast cancer and, later, women with progressing stages of disease. Tykerb was authorized in 2007 for make make make use of of in breast cancer. The twin drug additionally have been tested together in breast cancer, and the multiple has not long ago been shown to be improved than Herceptin alone in women who had formerly progressed whilst on the singular drug.

Tykerb was tested at UCLA for make make make use of of in gastric cancers, initial in cell lines and animal models, and was shown to be in effect in cancers with HER2 amplification. A randomized Phase III clinical hearing contrast Tykerb with chemotherapy in HER2 amplified gastric cancer patients non-stop not long ago and is right away enrolling patients.

Herceptin additionally has been successfully tested in HER2 amplified gastric cancer patients, Wainberg said, and is approaching to be authorized for that make make make use of of by the U.S. Food Drug Administration inside of the subsequent 6 months.

Wainberg pronounced this is the initial time that Herceptin and Tykerb have been interconnected to quarrel this subset of gastric cancers.

In the animal models, the mice that perceived both Herceptin and Tykerb had their tumors cringe down to probably nothing, Wainberg said. This suggests that in those tumors that are contingent on HER2 for growth, this multiple might be a really in effect treatment. The multiple of therapies was majority improved than possibly Herceptin or Tykerb alone.

The twin besiege functions utilizing twin mechanisms, restraint cell signaling from inside the cell as well as on the cellsurface. Herceptin, an antibody, blocks expansion signals sitting on the aspect of the cancer cell, whilst Tykerb, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, functions from inside the cell to retard the signaling that formula in out of carry out expansion of the cancer cells.

If usually one care is used, the cancer cells mostly can find ways to get around the singular blockade, Wainberg said. Using the multiple provides a stand in whammy, and creates it majority some-more formidable for the cancer to by-pass treatment. Herceptin is administered by intravenous infusion, whilst Tykerb is taken in tablet form.

The Jonsson Cancer Center investigate offers serve explanation that molecularly targeted therapies -- those that hone in on what is damaged in the cancer cell and leave the full of health tissue unscathed -- can be used to provide cancers some-more effectively with fewer side effects. It additionally supports the drawn out speculation that cancers should not be treated with colour with colour formed on their organ of origin, but by the genetic mutations pushing their growth.

We have well known for majority years that not all breast cancers should be treated with colour with colour comparison and the same is proof to be loyal in gastric cancers, Wainberg said.

The same exam that is used to acknowledge HER2 loudness in breast cancer, shimmer in situ hybridization or FISH, is used to find the subset of gastric patients with the same mutation.

Itmy idea that a year from now, everybody will be checking for HER2 loudness in gastric cancer the approach we exam it right away in breast cancer, Wainberg said.

While usually about 25,000 to 30,000 Americans are diagnosed with gastric cancers each year, the disease is a poignant complaint worldwide. Gastric cancers sojourn one of the majority usual forms of cancer diagnosed worldwide, with we estimate 870,000 new cases and 650,000 deaths each year.

This is really a cancer sort where we really majority need newer and some-more in effect therapies, Wainberg said.

Marine spatial planning: A some-more offset proceed to sea government ScienceBlog.com



DURHAM, N.C. -- The old balkanized proceed to sea management, in that opposite resources and activities are governed by opposite laws and administered by opposite agencies, has unsuccessful to strengthen sea ecosystems or revoke conflicts in in between sea users, a row of ubiquitous scientists says, and should be transposed with a some-more offset proceed utilizing sea spatial planning.

The panel, orderly by scientists from Duke University, will have the box at a discussion at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 20, at this year"s annual assembly of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences (AAAS) in San Diego.

Marine spatial formulation starts with the origination of detailed, extensive maps of a sea area, identifying where and how it is used by humans and what full of health resources and habitats exist inside of it.

Coastal communities can afterwards have make have make have use of of of of of this inform to set economic, environmental and amicable goals for that area, and allot space inside of it for opposite uses, together with fishing, shipping, recreation, conservation, oil and gas development, or renewable appetite production.

"By construction extensive maps and bringing people together to plan the destiny of an sea space, we can minimize conflicts and see for ways to show off benefits," says Larry Crowder, executive of the Duke Center for Marine Conservation. "The outcome is a fairer and some-more in effect proceed to how the oceans are used -- ensuring that different human uses are upheld whilst full of health sea ecosystems are confirmed for all the benefit."

The have make have make have use of of of of of of sea spatial formulation has gained movement inhabitant in new years; there are right away active programs in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Oregon.

In Jun 2009, President Obama destined twenty-two U.S. sovereign agencies with ocean-related programs to rise "a horizon for in effect coastal and sea spatial planning" that addresses conservation, mercantile activities, user conflicts and tolerable have make have make have use of of of of of of ocean, coastal and Great Lakes resources. A breeze of the horizon was expelled in December. That month, Scientific American repository chose sea spatial formulation as one of "20 World Changing Ideas."

The AAAS assembly is the largest ubiquitous scholarship discussion of the year. Being invited to benefaction or assuage a discussion at AAAS is at large noticed as a magnitude of a researcher"s high status in his or her field.

The AAAS discussion on sea spatial formulation will embody presentations by:

Larry Crowder, Stephen Toth Professor of Marine Biology at Duke"s Nicholas School of the Environment. He"ll plead the scholarship and government of joined social-ecological systems,and insist because in effect sea government requires us to cruise all elements of an ecosystem -- the physical, biological, containing alkali and geological attributes, as well as the combination and place of human communities that rely on it for livelihoods or necessary services. Coupled social-ecological systems yield a utilitarian and comparatively new horizon for incorporating these manifold elements in to decision-making.

Kevin St. Martin, join forces with highbrow of embankment at Rutgers University. St. Martin will plead innovative new techniques he"s building to map the spatial impacts of sea users. Understanding the links in in between coastal communities and their activities in specific sea zones is executive to a full bargain of the ecology of sea ecosystems, he will explain. Being means to daydream these linkages is necessary if we wish to soak up human factors in to sea spatial planning.

Fanny Douvere, coordinator of the World Heritage Marine Programme at UNESCO"s World Heritage Centre in France. She will benefaction justification illustrating that a regional, future-oriented proceed is executive to the success of sea spatial planning. She"ll examination efforts right away underneath proceed to soak up great practices for sea spatial formulation in to sea government practices and policies at the inhabitant and informal levels.

Mary Turnipseed, a PhD tyro in ecology at Duke. She"ll plead how an old authorised concept, the open certitude doctrine, can benefit new have make have make have use of of of of of as a apparatus for achieving tolerable sea governance. The didactic discourse identifies governments as curators of sure full of health resources on citizens" behalf. Historically, it"s enabled ecosystem insurance at the state level, but hasn"t nonetheless been lengthened to full of health resources particularly underneath sovereign jurisdiction, such as those in sea waters from 3 to 200 nautical miles from U.S. shores. She will try arguments for together with sovereign open certitude duties in a new inhabitant sea policy.

Jo Foden, a PhD claimant at the University of East Anglia, U.K. Foden will promulgate new swell in Europe toward monitoring and assessing how sea spatial formulation supports inhabitant and informal sea government goals. She will examination stream comment methods being used at local, national, ubiquitous and tellurian scales, and show how some-more pithy goals, larger coherence in vernacular and a clearer proceed to comment could assistance connect these efforts and facilitate destiny applications.

Andrew Rosenberg, comparison clamp boss for scholarship and believe at Conservation International. He will inform the have make have make have use of of of of of of sea spatial formulation in Massachusetts and how a different bloc of sea stakeholders has supposing critical, ongoing await for it. A highbrow at the Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans and Space at the University of New Hampshire, he will describe the Massachusetts beginning to inhabitant efforts to rise a horizon for sea spatial formulation by the President"s Ocean Policy Taskforce.

Morgan Gopnik, now a PhD claimant in sea scholarship and charge at Duke, will assuage the symposium. She served for 7 years as executive of the Ocean Studies Board at the National Academy for Sciences, prior to being allocated comparison confidant to the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy, where she oversaw the essay of the commission"s last inform to Congress and the White House. She subsequently served as comparison clamp boss for programs at The Ocean Conservancy. In further to pursing a PhD at Duke, Gopnik is an eccentric expert on sea government issues to foundations, organisation and nonprofit organizations.

Crowder will additionally have a second AAAS presentation, an general outlook of "Next Steps on Marine Spatial Planning," in a discussion at 1:30 p.m., Feb. 21.

Pakistani jets kill scarcely 50 in genealogical segment

HANGU, Pakistan Thu Mar 25, 2010 12:38pm EDT

HANGU, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistani jets pounded suspected Taliban positions in a one-two punch on Thursday that killed nearly 50 people, most of them militants, in a restive tribal region in the northwest, officials said.

World

The two attacks targeted a school used by the Taliban as well as a madrasa or Islamic seminary in the Mamuzai area of the Orakzai Agency, an ethnic Pashtun tribal region where many militants fled to escape an army offensive further south.

"Twenty-five bodies of militants have been recovered from the school," Asghar Khan, a government official, told Reuters by telephone from Kalaya, the main town of Orakzai.

He said 13 militants were killed in the madrasa.

However, he said a nearby center of Tablighi Jamaat, a non-violent non-political group involved in Islamic preaching, was also hit in the strike. "Ten people were killed in the Tablighi center," he added.

There was no independent confirmation.

Khan said the seminary was a major hideout of the militants loyal to Maulvi Toofan, a local commander of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the main alliance of Pakistan"s homegrown militants.

Orakzai is a considered a Taliban stronghold because many members of the Pakistani Taliban fled there after military offensives drove them from South Waziristan late last year. Orakzai is one of Pakistan"s seven tribal regions, known as agencies, and is a stronghold of TTP chief Hakimullah Mehsud, who is widely believed to have been killed in a missile strike by a U.S. drone aircraft in South Waziristan in January.

The Pakistani military has stepped up air strikes in Orakzai and the neighboring Kurram region in recent months, targeting militants who have fled military offensive in South Waziristan.

By Chalathip Thirasoonthrakul

BANGKOK, March 18 (Reuters) - Protesters in Bangkok vowedon Thursday to prolong a mass anti-government rally to forceThailand"s government to call elections, despite doubts themainly rural movement had what it takes to sustain the rally.

On their fifth day on Bangkok"s streets, the red-shirtedprotesters called for a "class war" and threatened to make lifeunbearable for Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva after splashingblood on the gates of his home and office, forcing him to sleepin a military base and preventing him from attendingparliament.

Relieved by the lack of violence and confident Abhisit willsurvive the showdown, investors have poured into Thailand"sfinancial markets, driving the baht currency to a 20-month highand pushing stocks near 22-month peaks this week, althoughshares retreated slightly on Thursday.

"The rally is peaceful without violence, making investorsdare to invest," Finance Minister Korn Chatikavanij toldreporters, noting Thai stocks .SETI were already climbingbefore the protests, gaining 63 percent last year.^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^ Take-a-Look at the political crisis, click [ID:nTHAILAND] Scenarios of possible outcomes, click [ID:nSGE62D00C] Q+A about the "red shirts", click [ID:nSGE62D00D] Analysis on the protests, click [ID:nSGE62F040] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ But Kosin Sripaiboon, head of research at UOB Kay HianSecurities in Bangkok, predicted the protests could last weeks,possibly into May, urging investors to remain cautious.

"We believe the red shirts have enough capacity to continueand it could extend into April or May," Kosin said.

The protesters, supporters of ousted premier ThaksinShinawatra, say they have been marginalised by the military,urban elite and royalists who back Abhisit. They said they willride across Bangkok on Saturday in pick-up trucks andmotorcycles in an attempt to convince others to join them.

"It will be the beginning of a class war," Nattawut Saikua,a protest leader, told reporters.

Although the number has dwindled from a peak of up to150,000 on Sunday, tens of thousands remain, with the numbersebbing during the midday heat before swelling again in eveningto sing and dance to folks songs, and listen to politicalspeeches.

PREMIER AT MILITARY BASE

While Abhisit is still backed by the military and amajority in parliament, a prolonged protest could start toundermine his leadership if he is seen to be failing to resolvethe impasse or his ability to govern is hampered.

Concerns protesters may block the entry and exit points togovernment buildings have stopped Abhisit from going to hisoffice or attending a parliamentary session near the mainprotest site. Roads have also been partly blocked in thehistoric heart of the city, testing the patience of Bangkokresidents.

Abhisit, an Oxford-educated economist who came to power atthe end of 2008, has operated since Friday from a fortifiedmilitary base that has doubled as a safe house.

But it is unclear how long the protesters can keep up thepressure. The movement"s many leaders have different ideas onhow to topple the government or when to end the rally. Its coreleaders are distancing themselves from another, more militantfaction who often threaten violence.

"It"s a multi-pronged struggle and it"s hard to predictwhich way it is going to go and whose plan is going toprevail," said Sukhum Nuansakun, an independent politicalanalyst.

"Their rhetoric and reality don"t always match."

The National Human Rights Commission met on Thursday withAbhisit in a bid to defuse tension and get the two sides totalk.

"If the protests are within the rules, the government hasno problem with a talk," Abhisit told a news conference. But hedeclined to say whether there are plans to begin negotiations.

Analysts said a long-term street rally requires betterorganisation -- from financing to supplies and transportation.

Lengthy rallies in Bangkok are not unusual. In 2008,protesters who opposed Thaksin"s allies in the previousgovernment occupied the prime minister"s office for threemonths, and then blockaded Bangkok"s international airportuntil a court ousted the government.

But Sukhum said the "red shirts" look less organised.

"It"s different from the anti-Thaksin movement which wasmore disciplined with one clear direction and one archnemesis."

Others doubt the protesters will get far withoutintervention by the military or the judiciary, both of whichhave helped to bring down Thaksin-allied governments. Themilitary"s top brass remain close allies of Abhisit.

Thaksin was ousted in a coup in 2006 and later sentenced inabsentia to two years jail for graft. His allies were ousted bytwo court rulings in 2008 which disqualified two primeministers, paving the way for Abhisit.

Thaksin now has Montenegrin citizenship and arrived thereearlier this week, officials in the Balkan country said onWednesday [ID:nLDE62G1QH]. (Writing by Ambika Ahuja; Additional reporting by ViparatJantraprapaweth; Editing by Jason Szep and Jerry Norton)

Global factories suffer fender Feb

Jonathan Cable and Langi Chiang LONDON/BEIJING Mon Mar 1, 2010 6:44am EST Related News China moves again on lending, economy shows strengthMon, Feb 1 2010

LONDON/BEIJING (Reuters) - Factories around the world enjoyed a bumper February with business surveys showing the manufacturing sector in major economies continued to lead an economic recovery, despite a slowdown in some growth rates.

Factory activity expanded across Asia last month, although powerhouse China showed some signs of weakening, while in Europe growth rates hit 30-month highs despite contraction in laggards Spain and Greece.

Data due later on Monday from the United States (11:00 a.m. ET) is expected to show the index there dipped to a still robust 57.5 from January"s 58.4.

"There is a sense that the Asian upswing may have run into the sand slightly but it was coming from a very strong base so it was anticipated we would see some slowdown. European numbers continue to show more dynamism," said Peter Dixon, economist at Commerzbank.

Markit"s Purchasing Managers" Index for the euro zone jumped to 54.2 in February from 52.4 the month before, slightly higher than previously thought, but the Spanish and Greek indexes remained below the 50.0 divide mark between growth and contraction.

It was something of a mixed bag in Asia where factory activity in its main economies expanded, with India and South Korea growing at their fastest pace in around two years but a pair of surveys showed the pace of manufacturing growth in China, the world"s third biggest economy, eased slightly.

"Policymakers are driving with low visibility on the Chinese activity data at the moment," said Brian Jackson, a strategist with Royal Bank of Canada, adding that the timing of the Chinese New Year holidays complicated interpretation of data.

"So it would be premature to conclude that today"s fall in the headline PMI numbers show a broader easing in the momentum of China"s recovery."

The UK saw growth levels matching January"s 15-year high of 56.6.

Swedish data surprised markets earlier on Monday with news that its economy unexpectedly slid back into recession in the fourth quarter of 2009.

CURRENCIES COUNT

The euro was little moved after the European data but the Australian dollar dipped and copper prices pared their gains after Asia"s releases, which markets took as a sign Chinese demand for metals and commodities might soften.

Exports in the euro zone grew at their fastest rate in three years last month, boosted by the euro being battered near nine-month lows due to worries over heavily indebted smaller euro zone countries such as Greece and Portugal.

"The strength in the manufacturing sector reflects a surge in exports," said Nick Kounis at Fortis Bank.

Price pressures were also building in Asia and Europe with input prices at 17-month highs in the euro zone but a negative reading for output prices shows firms are still having to discount goods to boost sales.

The PMI derived from a survey conducted by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing for the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) fell to 52.0 in February, well below the median forecast of 55.45 in a Reuters poll and down from 55.8 in January.

A separate survey conducted by research firm Markit for HSBC showed the PMI dipping to 55.8 from a record high of 57.4 in January.

India"s PMI rose to 58.5 in February, its strongest reading since June 2008, from 57.7 in January, boosted by expanding output and new orders.

"The headline index is consistent with ongoing double-digit gains in industrial production which in turn is likely to mean that spare capacity is being eaten into rapidly," said Robert Prior-Wandesforde, Senior Asian Economist at HSBC.

South Korea saw its headline PMI rise to the highest level since December 2007 at 58.2.
