>French political cartoon from the late 1890s. A pie represents "Chine" (French for China) and is being divided between caricatures of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, William II of Germany (who is squabbling with Queen Victoria over a borderland piece, whilst thrusting a knife into the pie to signify aggressive German intentions), Nicholas II of Russia, who is eyeing a particular piece, the French Marianne (who is diplomatically shown as not participating in the carving, and is depicted as close to Nicholas II, as a reminder of the Franco-Russian Alliance), and the Meiji Emperor of Japan, carefully contemplating which pieces to take. A stereotypical Qing official throws up his hands to try and stop them, but is powerless. It is meant to be a figurative representation of the Imperialist tendencies of these nations towards China during the decade.

"Every year Techno Parade is arranged in Paris as a festive event for young people. This year the event was anything but that as a large gang of blacks showed up to attack the white people present.

Techno Parade is an event that is supposed to bring together people of different backgrounds. This is what Place de la Bastille looked like a few days ago. Note the white woman who is grabbed and has her clothes ripped off at 3:13 and onwards."

DALLAS—Speaking from his home in Dallas, former president George W. Bush told reporters Tuesday that when he's not busy giving lectures or writing his memoirs, he spends most of his spare time working on the manned mission to Mars he proposed in January 2004.

Bush goes over some of the statistics on surviving in a prolonged low-light environment.

"This is genuinely important to me," said Bush, looking over sketches of potential rocket systems he had drawn up while waiting for his oil to be changed at a service station earlier this week. "I wasn't kidding when I announced a plan to get us to Mars, by God, and I intend to finish what I started. That's why I try to carve out a little time before lunch and after dinner to work on this important interplanetary initiative."

"It's a big project," Bush added. "Lots of little details to work out."

While in 2004 many critics suggested Bush's call for a mission to Mars was little more than political theater, the 43rd president has called those claims "ridiculous." Bush said he has spent many hours scouring the web for information about space travel and Mars, in addition to checking out "a bunch" of books on the subject from the local library and regularly e-mailing contacts he still has at NASA to ask their advice on his plan.

He also frequently watches the PBS program Nova.

"It's the first thing I think of when I wake up after having some breakfast and doing the crossword," Bush said. "Ask anyone: Whenever I have a spare minute, I'm always thinking about how to put astronauts on the surface of Mars."

The former president believes the journey from Earth to Mars will be feasible, although fraught with peril.

"And Laura knows not to bother me on Saturday afternoons when I don't have a speaking engagement or a golf match to go to," Bush added. "That's my Mars time."

Working from the makeshift basement office he refers to as "Mission Control 2," Bush said he has grappled with some of the major issues surrounding a manned mission to Mars. For months he's been jotting down notes about how zero gravity would affect the bone density and muscle mass of the crew, and he spends about five minutes during his morning jog each day coming up with ideas for safely storing a year's worth of onboard oxygen.

Sometimes, Bush said, potential solutions come not when he's reading about the Red Planet's inhospitable surface conditions on Wikipedia or brainstorming shuttle names through free-association exercises, but when he's not thinking about the historic 34- million-mile voyage at all.

"Just last week, I was out in the garden tending to the tomatoes when it hit me: The astronauts should grow their own food to eat on their spaceship," Bush said. "I'm not saying I have all the specifics down just yet, but how the astronauts going to Mars will eat is at least one thing the next president won't have to worry about."

Bush recently started a blog devoted entirely to his thoughts about setting up a permanent colony on Mars. To achieve this, he writes on MarsUSA.blogspot.com, the astronauts will need to bring materials for building a sustainable base on the planet, and be able to convert water in the Martian soil into hydrogen and oxygen for the trip home.

"That's just common sense," Bush said. "All the science-fiction writers know that."

Bush admitted that he didn't have as much time as he would like to devote to the mission, but assured reporters he would never give up on something so important. While the challenges may seem insurmountable, he said, the greatest hope for man to achieve the incredible goal of landing on the surface of Mars lies in exploiting as-yet undiscovered technologies to overcome the incredibly daunting physical distances involved.

"I'm pretty busy right now, but when I get a spare 30 minutes, I'm going to start working on that," Bush said while flipping through a copy of Scientific American. "I'll have my friend Jerry from down the road come over and crunch some of the numbers for me. He's good with computers."

>The skeletal remains of Africa's numerous civil wars litter the continent, from the easternmost reaches of Somalia to the western shores of Liberia. It is there, overlooking the picturesque beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, that unknown numbers of human remains - victims of Samuel Doe's reign of terror - haunt the earth. One building that serves as their communal headstone, itself a virtual skeleton, is physical testimony to the civil war that racked Liberia for years. This macabre marker is the house at Sugar Beach.

>In her masterly memoir, Helene Cooper brings us back to the halcyon years when Sugar Beach, her family's home, embodied the elite privilege and disco-age chic to which Liberia's upper class aspired. The Coopers' mansion, 22 rooms in all, rose in solitude out of the plum trees and vines that thicketed Liberia's undeveloped coastline. Inside was a living homage to the 1970s, complete with velvet couches in a sunken living room, marble floors and a special nook for storing the plastic Christmas tree. Outside, where a carpet of grass stretched to the thunderous Atlantic, multiple servants made their home, and the latest-model American cars - from a Lincoln Continental to a two-tone green Pontiac Grand Prix - awaited their next 18-kilometer, or 11-mile, journey into downtown Monrovia. Fate, so it seemed, handed Helene Cooper a "one-in-a-million lottery ticket" when she was born into "what passed for the landed gentry upper class of Africa's first independent country." Both sides of Cooper's family traced their roots to Liberia's founding fathers - freed slaves from the United States who fought disease and the recalcitrant local population to forge a new nation. Their bravery and ingenuity were legendary, and their descendants soon formed Liberia's upper caste.

435 seems kind of low for such a large country. Shouldn't it have been raised by now?

There have also been allegations that Putin secretly owns a large fortune. According to former Chairman of the Russian State Duma Ivan Rybkin,[291][292] and Russian political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky,[293][294] who's affiliated with Boris Berezovski (Russian oligarch-in-exile and a political opponent of Putin), Putin controls a 4.5% stake (approx. $13 billion) in Gazprom, 37% (approx. $20 billion) in Surgutneftegaz and 50% in the oil-trading company Gunvor run by Gennady Timchenko, a close friend. Gunvor's turnover in 2007 was $40 billion.[295][296][297] The aggregate estimated value of these holdings would easily make Putin Russia's richest person. In December 2007, Belkovsky elaborated on his claims: "Putin's name doesn't appear on any shareholders' register, of course. There is a non-transparent scheme of successive ownership of offshore companies and funds. The final point is in Zug, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Vladimir Putin should be the beneficiary owner."[298] This claim, however, has never been supported with evidence.[4]

LONDON -- A British woman who sparked international outrage after CCTV film of her picking up a cat and dumping it in a rubbish bin was posted on the internet was fined 265 pounds ($420) for animal cruelty on Tuesday.

Mary Bale, 45, was also banned from keeping animals for five years after admitting causing unnecessary suffering to the cat, a four-year-old tabby called Lola.

Bale's home in Coventry, central England, was at one point put under police guard after her actions shocked animal lovers and even attracted death threats.

Lola was found unharmed by her owners Darryl Mann and his wife Stephanie, crying for help inside the bin about 15 hours after she had gone missing in August

Bale was traced after Mann, who had installed security cameras outside his house after vandals damaged his car, put footage of the incident on YouTube.

District judge Caroline Goulborn told Bale at Coventry Magistrates Court that she had taken into account that media interest in the case had led to the former bank worker being "vilified".

The court heard that that Bale, who had faced a maximum fine of 20,000 pounds or up six months' imprisonment, could provide no answer to why she had acted in such an "impulsive and irrational" way, the Press Association reported.

Bale's father, who died last week, was seriously ill at the time of the incident.

"I accept that you were in a stressful situation at the time, but that's no excuse for what you did," the judge said.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) charity brought the prosecution against Bale and was awarded costs of 1,170 pounds.

"The cat in this case has been extremely lucky to come out unharmed and with no lasting injuries," said RSPCA inspector Nicky Foster.

After the hearing, Bale's lawyer said his client had been under "tremendous strain" and had since been diagnosed with depression.

He said she wanted to apologise for her actions and bitterly regretted what she had done.

WASHINGTON—According to recent media reports, Democrats stand to lose as many as 8,000 congressional seats and more than 917 gubernatorial races in November's midterm elections. "Republicans are poised to pick up 1,500 seats in Ohio alone, and could wind up with a 23,576-to-12 majority in the Senate," Beltway observer Isaac Hundt said Wednesday, noting the GOP's advantage is likely to increase by Election Day given that its candidates are outspending their opponents by some $900 trillion. "With Democratic disapproval ratings in the quadruple digits, it's a foregone conclusion that Republicans will not only retake Congress, but hold it for the next 20,000 to 25,000 years." Experts also predicted the one-sided election results would cause Barack Obama to die on the spot, at which point the nation's leading conservative talk-radio host would be sworn in as president of the United States forever.

This week, a precocious and adorable 9-year-old premiered her first music video on cable television. At the same time, a two-minute clip from a classic children’s show went viral and won the hearts of many.

Between the debut of Willow Smith’s video “Whip My Hair” and the emergence of the Sesame Street song “I Love My Hair,” little black girls are having the best week ever.

It’s not often that little African-American girls are publicly celebrated for their uniqueness and beauty. Rather, a lot of us have the repeated experience of relatives, friends and strangers having not-so-positive things to say about our physical appearance. The comments tend to range from: “Your hair would be pretty if it were straight” to “You’re cute for a dark girl.” Black women have heard more than enough back-handed compliments and not-so-subtle putdowns to make us question our individual and collective beauty. Pair that with media images that appoint ethnically ambiguous, silken-haired women as the ideal, and you’ve got the making of a full-on complex.

That’s why the Sesame Street clip went viral so quickly — it’s a simple image of a brown puppet singing in front of a blue backdrop, but with lyrics and imagery that were positive and powerful:

“Don’t need a trip to the beauty shop, ’cause I love what I got on top,” sings the puppet. “It’s curly and it’s brown and it’s right up there! You know what I love? That’s right, my hair!” She bops and dances and flails her tresses, as images of her hair change from braids to cornrows to an afro and pigtails.

Sesame Street’s head writer Joey Mazzarino told NPR (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130653300) that he penned the song for his adopted Ethiopian daughter, but the clip of it soon went viral through networks of black and multicultural women who finally saw a song of affirmation they felt was long overdue.

Then there’s Willow Smith. She’s the daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith, and her music video “Whip My Hair” is vibrant and kinetic. It starts with a mischievous-looking Willow entering a stark white classroom filled with students, dipping her long braids into paint and then whipping them around furiously, drenching the set (and students) in splatters of bright colors – Paul Jackson Pollock style.

Frenetic dancing and whipping of hair ensue.

But it’s not the wild and varying hairstyles that make this video a hit. Instead, it’s the sheer fearlessness with which young Willow is singing, dancing and whipping. She’s still very much a kid, but with just enough sass and pluck and confidence to hold our attention and leave us wanting more. And if you can’t sense the pint-sized swagger, Willow spells it out on her yellow t-shirt (“I *heart* Me”) and on the chalkboard in the classroom that she’s turned from white to orange:

I pledge to be brave
I pledge to always give my best
I pledge to respect myself and all those around me
I pledge to be willing to learn and experience new things
I pledge to not be afraid to dream big and go for it
I pledge to be a WARRIORETE/WARRIOR

Little Willow is operating with a sort of empowerment that grown women can sense, admire, and in some cases, envy. Not many girls are taught that it’s OK to openly love and affirm yourself. For many, admonishments like “don’t act cute” or “stop being sassy” are the norm. But “Whip My Hair” is a celebration of little girls celebrating themselves. And as poet Bassey Ikpi tweeted, it “says a lot about what happens when we arm girls with confidence and fearlessness.”

So yes, between Willow Smith whipping her hair and Sesame Street singing about loving the hair you’re born with, young black girls are having the best week ever. As for those of us who have already grown up? Well, we’re here cheering them on.
