Over 20000 families flooded in East Kalimantan

At least 20.106 families have been inundated in floods in Samarinda city of East Kalimantan province. Heavy rain since Friday submerged thousands of houses in North Samarinda and Samarinda Ilir districts, over the weekend.

North Samarinda district head Marnabas said the heavy downpours had increased the water debit in the Benanga dam, Lempake subdistricts, from 30 cubic centimeters to 65 cubic centimeters per second.

The heavy rains also caused the Mahakam River and its tributary Karang Mumus River to overflow, leading to floods along their riverbanks. The worst flood, with a depth of 80 centimeters, occurred in Bengkuring, North Samarinda, whose downtown areas were inundated in waters up to 50 centimeters deep.

"I could not send my elementary school son to school because our motorbike could not pass through the street in front of our house," said Ruqiyah, a housewife from Bengkuring.

Dhea, from South Sempaja, said the flood was the worst she had ever experienced in the area. The flood has inundated the street in front of the Madya Sempaja Stadium, up to 50 centimeters deep, disturbing the traffic in the region.

Marnabas expressed hope the heavy downpour would stop and that the floods would not extend to wider areas. "We are working with the Social Agency to prepare for the boats and provide logistic supplies to survivors."

Many, including head of the Ministry of Environment's Kalimantan Regional Office B. Widodo Sambodo, have blamed the conversion of green regions into housing complexes or mining sites for the frequent floods in the region.

Samarinda has suffered from widespread flooding several times in the past five months due to heavy rains. Last November, floods killed a 12-year-old boy, identified as Roby, who was electrocuted while playing in an area flooded by up to two meters in North Samarinda.

In the same month, five estuarine crocodiles, some measuring up to seven meters in length, were flushed out of their holdings in Mulawarman University National Park as major floods destroyed their cages. The park had to deploy 40 people to catch them.

The two-wheeled electric car that will 'never crash'

General Motors Corp. and Segway Inc. are working together to develop a two-wheeled, two-seat electric vehicle designed to be a fast, safe, inexpensive and clean alternative to traditional cars and trucks for cities across the world.

The Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility, or PUMA, project also would involve a vast communications network that would allow vehicles to interact with one another, regulate traffic flow and prevent crashes, the companies said last week.

"We're excited about doing more with less," said Jim Norrod, chief executive of Segway, the Bedford, N.H.-based company best known for its innovative electric stand-and-ride electric scooter that's used by police departments, pizza deliverymen and others in urban settings.

"Less emissions, less dependability on foreign oil and less space," Norrod said.

The 300-pound prototype runs on a lithium-ion battery and uses Segway's characteristic two-wheel balancing technology, along with dual electric motors. It's designed to reach speeds of up to 35 miles per hour and can run 35 miles on a single charge.

Ideally, the vehicles would also be part of a communications network that through the use of transponder and Global Positioning System technology would allow them to drive themselves. The vehicles would automatically avoid obstacles such as pedestrians and other cars and therefore never crash, Burns said.

As a result, the vehicles would not need air bags or other traditional safety devices and include safety belts for "comfort purposes" only, he said.

Though the technology and its goals may seem like something out of science fiction, Burns said nothing new needs to be in- vented for it to become a reality.

Meanwhile, the recession has resulted in some of the lowest industrywide vehicle sales in more than a quarter-century.

But Burns argued that some of the most revolutionary ideas have been born out of tough economic times.

"The next two months, and really 2009, is all about the reinvention of General Motors," he said.

Saudi king called for Arab unity in the face of Israel's

Saudi King Abdullah called for Arab and Palestinian unity in the face of Israel aggression as he opened the new session of the kingdom's Shura (consultative) Council on Tuesday.

Speaking a week before an Arab League summit in Qatar, Abdullah told the 150-member appointed body that differences among Arab and Islamic countries had been exploited by Israel and contributed to a "dark atmosphere" in the region.

But he added that the deep rift between Palestinian factions was even more serious than Israeli policy as a challenge to Arab unity.

"The challenges that face your nation, at the domestic level and the level of Arab and Islamic nations ... require twice as much responsibility in countering them as they emerge one after another, including Israeli aggression that creates mischief in the land," he said.

Particularly concerning was "the Palestinian dispute between brothers which is more serious in jeopardising our just cause than Israeli aggression," the king said, also pointing to "Arab and Islamic differences that thrill the foe and pain friends."

Israel's deadly 22-day onslaught against the Gaza Strip at the turn of the year deepened the rift between the territory's Hamas rulers and Western-backed Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas.

It also created a split in the Arab world between governments like Qatar and Syria which voiced support for Hamas, and Saudi Arabia and Egypt which sided firmly with Abbas.

The Saudis have since pushed hard for Arab reconciliation, hosting the leaders of Syria, Egypt and Kuwait for a March 11 mini-summit in a bid to settle differences ahead of the Arab summit set for March 29 and 30.

The kingdom has also called repeatedly for the Islamists of Hamas to mend fences with the Palestinian leadership.

Prison officer sacked after befriending criminals on Facebook

A prison officer has been sacked after befriending known criminals, including a murderer, on the social networking website Facebook, it has been reported.

Nathan Singh was investigated because he was suspected of supplying mobile phones and other banned items to inmates at HMP Leicester.

The probe failed to find any evidence of smuggling but discovered that the 27-year-old had made friends with 13 criminals online.

Seven of the "friends" had been in prison for murder, drugs offences, fraud, affray and theft, according to The Sun newspaper.

In one photo on Facebook, Singh was seen socialising at Cheltenham races last year with Tyrone Leadeatt, 28, who was subsequently jailed for two and a half years for 24 fraud offences.

Singh described him as a "good friend" he had known for ten years.

Another of his Facebook friends was Mark Simmonds, 37, who stabbed a victim to death outside a nightclub in Leicester in 1995. Simmonds, who also has convictions for burglary and theft, was freed in 2005.

A third was Daimi O'Brien, 26, who was jailed for two years for affray, while a fourth, Myron Wallace, 26, received five years for drugs offences and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice.

Singh has now been dismissed from the Prison Service for gross misconduct.

Giving evidence at a disciplinary hearing, Singh said he knew the criminals from school or playing football.

He said: "Sometimes when I logged on to my Facebook site there would be twenty-odd friends requests and I just accepted them.

"Sometimes I didn't even check them. I realise now it might have been naïve in the job I do."

Singh was a residential landing officer at Leicester jail, which holds around 400 prisoners.

The investigation, code-named Operation Earlgrey, was launched five months after Singh joined the Prison Service in January last year.

It found that Singh had been in phone contact with seven of the 13 criminal friends on Facebook.

Shadow Justice Secretary Dominic Grieve told The Sun: "Prison officers should be vetted before being offered a job, to check criminal connections. Cases like this demoralise the vast majority of dedicated prison staff."

A Prison Service spokesman said: "A prison officer from HMP Leicester had been associating with serving and former prisoners, outside the course of his employment and without authority.

"We take inappropriate relationships with prisoners very seriously. We do carry out thorough checks when we recruit prison officers.

"The vast majority of our staff are honest, hardworking and professional." (source: telegraph)

11 Chinese workers killed in ceiling collapse

The ceiling at a chemical plant in southwest China collapsed Monday, killing 11 workers and leaving one person trapped under rubble, state media said.

The accident occurred at the Jianfang chemical factory in the southwestern city of Chongqing, the Xinhua News Agency said.

The bodies of the workers were recovered by early evening but one person was still buried under rubble, it said. No other details were given and it wasn't immediately clear what caused the collapse or if the 12th person was still alive.

A woman who answered the telephone at the Chongqing Administration for Work Safety confirmed that an accident had occurred at the facility but would not give any other details.

China's vast work force, an estimated 800 million people, has fueled decades of export-driven growth, turning the country into the factory for much of the world.

But safety standards continue to lag behind those in developed countries. Many factories and mines have little or no safety equipment, while worker training is also weak.

The government has in recent years focused on accident prevention, and it reported last month that work-related deaths fell below 100,000 in 2008 for the first time in more than a decade.

FedEx plane crashes, explodes in Tokyo

A FedEx Corp cargo plane caught in a gust of wind crashed and burst into flames as it landed at Narita international airport on Monday, closing the main runway at the busy gateway to Tokyo.

The longest runway of two at the airport was closed, a Narita airport spokesman said, and airlines said some flights had been diverted to other airports from Narita, the main international airport for the Japanese capital.

Asahi TV said the two crew on the plane had been killed in the crash but Kyodo news agency said the pilot and copilot were pulled from the plane unconscious and in a critical condition.

"We have information that strong winds caused the plane to divert from the runway," a Narita Airport spokeswoman said.

The spokeswoman said the plane was a FedEx cargo flight from Guangzhou, China and a FedEx logo was clearly visible on the upturned remains of the aircraft.

The plane landed hard, tipped onto its left wing and burst into flames, video of the crash on public broadcaster NHK showed.

A bright orange fireball and black billowing smoke engulfed the plane as it flipped and skidded off the runway.

Firefighters sprayed foam onto the broken remains of the plane with its wheels in the air as efforts were made to rescue the crew.

Narita airport said the plane was an MD-11, a freighter made by McDonnell Douglas, part of Boeing Co.

A spokesman for Japan Airlines Corp (JAL), Japan's main international airline, said some arriving flights had been diverted to Tokyo's Haneda airport and airports in Nagoya and Kansai, near Osaka.

An All Nippon Airways (ANA) spokesman said the airline stopped check-in at Narita for 10 international flights, including those to New York, Washington and London.

FedEx officials in Japan confirmed it was their company's flight but said they were still checking other information.

Japan's meteorological agency had issued an advisory of gales for the area around the airport. (Source:Reuter)

Grandmother swims New Zealand's Cook Strait

A 55-year-old woman from New Zealand North Island resort of Rotorua has swum Cook Strait in nine hours 23 minutes, becoming the oldest person to do the feat.

Pam Dickson completed the 26km swim on Friday on her first attempt, despite suffering hypothermia and swimming in a circle for the final 800 meters because she was so cold and disoriented.

She said the water temperature was 18 degrees when she began the swim, but it then dropped to 16 degrees in the final 4 km.

Her guide, veteran Strait swimmer Philip Rush, said it is illegal to wear wet suits in such swims, including in the English Channel, Kazinform cites Xinhua.

He said Dickson's crossing was a "great effort" in gusty winds of up to 30 knots, which made conditions difficult for both the swimmer and her support crew.

Dickson, a massage therapist and grandmother of nine, said she's jumping with joy at her feat, but will probably not rest for too long.

She has competed in many Ironman races and marathons and is considering doing the Rotorua marathon in May.

Pope denounces condom use

Pope Benedict XVI, who arrived Tuesday in Cameroon for his first trip to Africa as pontiff, denounced condom use on the AIDS-ravaged continent, saying there were better ways to combat the disease.

AIDS "is a tragedy that cannot be overcome by money alone, that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which even aggravates the problems," the 81-year-old pontiff told reporters on the flight from Rome.

The solution lies in a "spiritual and human awakening" and "friendship for those who suffer," said Benedict, who will also visit Angola during the weeklong trip.

Benedict, who left behind controversy at the Vatican over his lifting of the excommunication of a Holocaust-denying bishop, also denied feeling alone over the affair.

"In truth, this myth about solitude makes me laugh," the pope said during the flight, dismissing reports in the Italian media that the controversy had left him isolated. "I am surrounded by friends. Solitude does not exist."

The pope, who will turn 82 on April 16, last month said he wanted 2009 to be the "Year of Africa," which will also include a conference of African bishops in Rome in September and an African synod at the Vatican in October.

The stop in Yaounde, where Benedict will stay until Friday, will include a meeting with the representatives of 52 African states preparing the October synod.

The capital -- where Benedict is to celebrate an open-air mass on Thursday -- has been spruced up, with public buildings repainted, roads repaired and trees and shrubs planted and trimmed.

Vatican and Cameroonian flags bearing photos of Benedict and Biya flutter throughout the city, particularly around the teeming John F. Kennedy avenue.

However, in a country of nearly 19 million people where development has been hampered by one of the highest levels of corruption in the world, many ordinary people are struggling to show enthusiasm.

"Pope Benedict is offering us his first visit to Africa. We are happy. However, no one is going crazy with delight," Catholic sociologist Pierre Titi Nwel told AFP.

In Angola, which is still recovering from 27 years of civil war, Benedict will meet with diplomats posted in Luanda and urge the international community not to abandon Africa.

Sub-Saharan Africa is more heavily affected by AIDS than any other region of the world. Nearly two-thirds of all adults and children with HIV live in the region, according to a 2006 report by UNAIDS.

AIDS prevention is a subject that often puts the Vatican at odds with international health organisations, since the Roman Catholic Church advocates abstinence as the only effective way of preventing the spread of AIDS and opposes campaigns for the use of condoms.

In June 2005, the pope told southern African bishops visiting the Vatican: "The traditional teaching of the Church has proven to be the only failsafe way to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS."

Vatican watchers said they had never heard Benedict use the word "condom" before Tuesday.

While it is his first trip to Africa as pope, Benedict has travelled to the continent once before, as Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger in 1987 when he visited the Democratic Republic of Congo (then Zaire). quote: AFP

Austrian police smash huge child porn ring

Austrian police said on Friday they have smashed a vast Internet child porn ring involving nearly 1,000 people, some of them teachers.

With the help of their European colleagues, Austrian police were able to identify 935 suspects, of whom 189 were proved to have exchanged pornographic material involving minors, they said in a statement.

Investigations against a further 97 were still underway.

Among the suspects were a number of teachers. And some were already known to police.

In raids of the suspects' houses, police had also found other illicit material, drugs and illegal weapons.

Investigators had been able to identify 16 of the children in the films and photographs. They were aged between nine and 12 and came from the United States and Paraguay, police said. (AFP)

Apple sued over 'exploding' iPod Touch

Apple has been sued by the mother of a 15-year-old boy who said his 16GB iPod Touch exploded in his pants pocket, burning his leg.

Ars Technica spotted the case, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. Apparently one day in class the boy "heard a loud pop and immediately felt a burning sensation in his leg," according to a copy of the complaint.

According to the complaint, the boy "realized his Apple iTouch (sic) had exploded and caught on fire in his pocket. ....Plaintiff A. V. immediately ran to the bathroom and took off his burning pants with the assistance of a friend. The Apple iTouch had burned through Plaintiff A. V.'s pants pocket and melted through his Nylon/Spandex underwear, burning his leg."

The plaintiff suffered second-degree burns as a result of the explosion, according to the complaint, and is seeking in excess of $225,000 in compensatory and punitive damages. An Apple representative said the company does not comment on pending litigation.

Mobile device explosions causing injuries are unfortunately an old story, but in many cases those explosions can be traced to faulty mobile phone batteries that are often cheap knock-offs added by the user. The battery on the iPod Touch, however, is not replaceable by the user.

There are an awful lot of facts that must come to the surface before we know exactly what happened with this particular iPod Touch, but the case bears watching. (quote: CNet)

Church pastor killed during service

The pastor of a Maryville, Illinois, church was shot to death during a service Sunday in front of horrified parishioners who then tackled the gunman, state police said.

Fred Winters, the pastor of the First Baptist Church, was shot and killed during the 8 a.m. service, and the attacker and two parishioners suffered knife wounds in the attack, authorities said.

The gunman entered during the service and walked up to the pulpit.

Winters and the gunman apparently exchanged words before the 27-year-old man fired four shots, hitting the pastor's Bible and then the pastor, said Illinois State Police Director Larry Trent.

"The only thing we know is that the suspect said something to the pastor and the pastor said something back to him -- we don't know what that was," Trent told reporters Sunday afternoon. "It was almost as if the pastor may have recognized him, but we're not sure about that at all."

The gunman's .45-caliber pistol jammed after he shot Winters, Trent said. The man then pulled out a knife before being tackled by some of the approximately 150 worshippers attending the service in southern Illinois, near St. Louis, Missouri.

Earlier reports from authorities said the man may have turned the knife on himself, but Trent said that was not confirmed.

"When he was tackled by two of the members, we don't know whether he fell on the knife, injuring himself at the time, or whether [his injury] was self-inflicted during the struggle," Trent said.

Two of those who went after the attacker suffered non-life-threatening injuries, while the suspect's injuries are "very serious," Illinois state police spokesman Ralph Timmins said.

Witness Claudia Bohley told CNN affiliate KSDK she was in the church's foyer waiting for the service to begin when she heard "pop, pop, pop. ... We just couldn't imagine what had happened."

She said she ran into the sanctuary and saw what looked like paper scattered on the pulpit. She said she was later told that a bullet hit Winters' Bible.

"It was like confetti. It went everywhere," she said. "People were down on their knees and on the floor, screaming and praying."

She described Winters -- who is pictured on the church's Web site along with his wife and two children -- as "such a pleasant pastor."

Trent said police were still trying to determine a motive in the shooting, and that church members did not recognize the gunman.

St. Louis University Hospital spokeswoman Laura Keller told CNN three males, including the suspect, were brought to the hospital. One was dead on arrival, she said, but the hospital was not releasing names and ages. She said the second was in an operating room and the third was the suspect, whose condition was not immediately available.

Trent said one of two wounded parishioners was treated and released.

Trent called the actions of the two wounded parishioners "heroic," saying they took quick action when others "were understandably stuck to their seats."

Phone calls to the church office from CNN rang unanswered Sunday. A posting on the church's Web site said a prayer vigil would be held at 6 p.m. at Metro Community Church in Edwardsville, Illinois, about six miles north of Maryville.

First Baptist Church is fairly large, with about 1,000 members, KSDK reported. The church holds four Sunday services.

Timmins said many of the people attending the service remained for hours afterward, as police were conducting interviews.

The Illinois shooting is believed to be the nation's first in a church since July, when a 58-year-old man opened fire in a Knoxville, Tennessee, church during a children's play. Two people were killed and six wounded in that shooting at Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church.

In the Tennessee case, Jim Adkisson told police he targeted the church because of its "liberal teachings," according to court papers. Adkisson pleaded guilty last month in a deal that allowed him to avoid the death penalty and will face life in prison without parole, court officials said.

Police said the Maryville congregation had a plan in place, including a protocol for lockdown, in the event of an incident such as Sunday's attack. (CNN)

"The Biggest Scammer" guilty plea expected next week

Bernard Madoff known as "The Biggest Scammer" is expected to plead guilty next week to charges that he carried out one of the biggest financial frauds in history, a person close to the case said Friday.

Madoff, 70, is waiving his right to have a grand jury hear the government's case against him, agreeing instead to be charged directly by prosecutors, a step defendants take when they are preparing to plead guilty in a case. A plea hearing is scheduled for Thursday.

Late Friday, U.S. District Judge Denny Chin called on potential victims who wish to be heard at the hearing to notify the court a day earlier. Madoff could enter a guilty or not guilty plea, depending on whether he has reached a plea deal with the government.

But a person close to the case, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plea has not yet occurred, said Madoff was expected to plead guilty.

Chin invited victims to address the court after prosecutors submitted papers noting that crime victims have the right to be "reasonably heard at any public proceeding in the district court involving release, plea, sentencing, or any parole proceeding."

A potential plea deal could mark an important step toward answering the vexing questions about how Madoff carried out his sweeping scheme he is accused of orchestrating and who else may have been involved. Prosecutors say he masterminded a fraud that has wiped out investors' life savings around the world.

The U.S. attorney's office first suggested Friday that a plea was imminent when it filed a brief court document indicating Madoff was ready to waive an indictment. One of Madoff's lawyers said he had already done so. A waiver of indictment is a necessary procedural step before a defendant enters a guilty plea.

Prosecutors have a deadline of March 13 to bring an indictment against Madoff under the speedy-trials law.

The filing was the latest sign pointing toward a possible plea deal with Madoff, who has been confined to his Manhattan penthouse since his arrest after authorities said he told his family that he had engaged in a $50 billion fraud. Authorities have since said money lost by investors is far less than $50 billion.

Madoff has never contested the allegations and recently surrendered millions of dollars in major assets, actions that typically precede plea deals.

The legal developments came as a financial organization in charge of reimbursing Madoff investors said it sent out the first checks to victims Friday, Stephen Harbeck of the Securities Investor Protection Corp. told The Associated Press.

SIPC is an industry-funded organization that steps in when a brokerage firm fails. It has been helping process hundreds of claims by investors hoping to recoup losses.

Investors are eligible for up to $500,000 from the organization, and have until July to file claims. Harbeck would not disclose how much money was sent to the first investors to get checks, but he said they deposited cash and never made a withdrawal, making the forensic accounting very simple.

Harbeck said he did not expect any plea deal to affect the organization's work.

"We will go about our business regardless of what happens on the criminal side," he said.

Daniel J. Horwitz, a Madoff defense lawyer, would say only, "We've waived the right to indictment, and the case will proceed by information."

Typically, a defendant is brought before a judge, waives indictment and enters a guilty plea the same day to a charging document known as an "information." It resembles an indictment but is brought by prosecutors rather than a grand jury.

Prosecutors' spokeswoman Rebekah Carmichael declined to comment.

Matthew Fishbein, a former chief of the criminal division in the federal prosecutor's office in Manhattan who is now in private practice, said a waiver of indictment is often followed quickly by a guilty plea, but it does not have to occur immediately.

Madoff has already begun relinquishing his assets, something he might not do if he planned to fight the charges.

He already has surrendered rights to his business and any of the assets held by the business. A trustee overseeing his assets said he has identified nearly $1 billion in assets that are available to reimburse investors who have lost money over the last five decades.

Shortly after his arrest, Madoff offered to relinquish many of his and his wife's assets, including properties in Palm Beach, Fla., and France, as well as his boats and cars.

The lawyers, however, have indicated in court documents that Madoff's $7 million Manhattan penthouse and an additional $62 million in assets should not be taken from the family because they are in his wife's name and did not result from any alleged fraud.

Indonesia Police catch "CIA Agent"

Steve aka Roni (63) - United States men's citizenship - has been arrested by the Intelligence Unit Polresta Balikpapan because he supposedly does not have official immigration document, Wednesday (4 / 3).

10 Container smuggling Blackberry be defeated

A high demand for Blackberry mobile phones in Indonesia are very arouse. Hence, many parties who attempt to exploit this opportunity. But apparently there who want to take advantage of a through-the size of the illegal way. Evidence, a number of gadgets smuggler tried to enter through the port of Tanjung Priok, Jakarta, using false documents.

“We have confiscated evidence goods and us also have coordinated with Treasury Department," said Kabareskrim Komjen Pol Susno Duadji on journalists in Bareskrim, Police Headquarters of Indonesia, on Tuesday (03/03).

Yesterday, the police planned to be 10 to open the container, but canceled. Police officers seem to choose to wait and excise duties. For, in the Customs Act which reserves the right to make inspections and customs clearance of goods is only catching duties and excise.

Officers ago to more carefully review the contents of the container. Analysis of data from intelligence, the officer decided to continue the examination of data with the physical examination at the temporary PT Mustika Alam Lestari (MAL). Examination such as this rarely performed against the owner of the certificate import median.

Is there any involvement of the individual customs and excise? Kabareskrim not sure. "This is still to be developed. Do not hurry, "he said. (jp)
