Getting Ready For The Big Switch In Iraq -- Washington Post
If you get to spend any time with Iraqi political leaders of any sort, as The Federal Eye did during a brief stint in Iraq this summer, they'll likely discuss their deep-rooted eagerness to work with "Americans with civilian suits, not military uniforms."
That day is fast approaching.
Iraqi leaders still haven't decided whether they want to extend a three-year security agreement beyond the end of the year, and if they don't make a formal request by Dec. 31, all U.S. troops and equipment will pack up and leave. In their wake, the State Departm [...]

Editors Note: According to the Reuter's article: "President Barack Obama was briefed in June about the alleged plot and through a spokesman expressed gratitude for it being disrupted."
(Reuters) - The United States accused Iran on Tuesday of backing a plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to Washington, escalating tensions with Tehran and stirring up a hornet's nest in the Gulf, where Saudi Arabia and Iran have long jostled for power.
U.S. authorities said they had broken up a plot by two men linked to Iran's security agencies to assassinate Saudi Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir. One was arrested last month while the other was believed to be in Iran.
Iran denied the charges. But President Barack Obama called the plot a "flagrant violation of U.S. and international law" and Saudi Arabia said it was "despicable."
Revelation of the alleged plot, and the apparent direct ties to the Tehran government, had the potential to further inflame tensions in the Middle East, and the United States said Tehran must be held top account.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in a Reuters interview, expressed hope that countries that have hesitated to enforce existing sanctions on Iran would now "go the extra mile."
At a news conference, FBI Director Robert Mueller said the convoluted plot, involving monitored international calls, Mexican drug money and an attemp [...]

Croatia must wait to discover whether they will qualify for Euro 2012 or have to contest a play-off after finishing second in Group F despite a win over Latvia.
Knowing only a victory would give them a chance of overhauling pool leaders Greece, Slaven Bilic's men looked set to steal top spot when Greece fell behind in Georgia and they eventually got on top of a stubborn Latvia side.
But news of Giorgos Fotakis' late leveller and Angelos Charisteas' subsequent winner for the 2004 champions in Tbilisi hushed the Stadion Kantrida, and the best they can now hope for is to finish as the best group runner-up.
However, should results elsewhere be unkind to them, they will be forced to head into the play-offs.

Kerala University One of the first 16 Universities in India, the University of Kerala was founded as the University of Travancore in the erstwhile princely state of Travancore (now southern part of Kerala and some neighbouring parts of state of Tamilnadu) in 1937.During the 7 decades since the University of Kerala grew and shrunk physically and transformed itself in many ways.It is difficult to summarise what the Kerala University is in a brief space.The earliest origins of the University may be traced back to two institutions of modern learning in Kerala, the University College, Thiruvananthapuram and the Trivandrum Observatory.The University College was initially founded as the Maharaja's Free School by Maharaja Swathi Thirunal in 1834, with Mr John Roberts.
A Christian Missonary as Headmaster, and soon grew into a college in 1866, affiliated to the Madras University. When the University of Travancore was founded, the Departments of the college became the University Departments, only to switch back again when the transformation to University of Kerala happened in 1957.The University College still retains its connection with the University as an affiliated college.The Trivandrum Observatory was founded in 1838 and had an internationally reputed scientist, John Caldecott FRS as its first Director.It became a part of the Travancore University, but for some time was administered as a independent government institution.It is now the oldest institution under the Kerala University.
The University of Travancore was established i [...]

Ayush is at the house of the Patwardahn family and is giving them a shock, by saying that he wants to break his marriage with Akruti, In all this commotion, it is Akruti who turns the tables on Ayush. She berates his way of thinking. When he questions her about the child she is carrying, suggesting that it could be some one else's she raises her hand to hit him, and he holds her hand, and pushes her and she falls flat on her stomach, on the table nearby. They rush the doctor in, while the one who caused this quickly gets away with his 'parents'. I do not dare to call them his father and mother, as they have acted in such a way, only hired agents could have done. For all the show, they might not be his parents at all, and it is a pity we have these people in the P zoo, who do not use their minds in anything they do. Even the professor, seems to have lost his lustre.
The doctor makes his examination and comes to the conclusion that she has had a miscarriage. The inmates of the house are in an awe, and all they do is close their gaping mouths, with their palms at the loss of an heir to their family. Rohini must be counting her blessings, and knowing very well her part in bringing this calamity on their family, but like a mouse that she is, she will keep a low profile for some time, till she finds out what her partner in crime has planned for this family.
In Darjeeling, Naina hears some music from afar and she asks her maid, if she hears it, and finding that it is not from the t.v. she goes out and finds Daksh playing the guitar sitting on a bench. She rushes to him, and he turns to look at her, when she asks him why he broke the promise she made him make, not to meet her. He tells her that he had made a prior vow, that he will never forsake her at any cost, and he had [...]

"Underwear Bomber" Changes Plea To Guilty -- CBS News
DETROIT - A Nigerian man said Wednesday he tried to blow up an international flight for al Qaeda with a bomb in his underwear in retaliation for the killing of Muslims worldwide, taking a federal court in Detroit by surprise as he pleaded guilty on the second day of his trial.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab answered questions from U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds before pleading guilty to all eight charges he faced, including conspiracy to commit terrorism and attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. He then told the courtroom that the bomb was a "blessed weapon to save the lives of innocent Muslims."
"I intended to wreck a U.S. aircraft for the U.S. wreckage of Muslim lands and property," Abdulmutallab said. Read more ....

Kolkata Knight Riders and Somerset will meet for the second time in five days. During the qualifying stage, they were involved in a strange game where despite Somerset winning by 11 runs it was Knight Riders celebrating at the end. They had qualified, along with Somerset, as the best second-placed team from the two qualifying groups.
Given the nature of Twenty20 cricket that win might mean little when the teams met again, but Knight Riders will be increasingly aware that their top order is consuming far too many balls to produce too few runs. Even Yusuf Pathan, on paper their most dangerous player, has struck at less than a run-a-ball in his two scores of 12 in the qualifying round.
Somerset came to this tournament without three key batsmen and would have felt a little bitter that their 21-year-old star Jos Buttler did not even get a bat for England in the first Twenty20 against West Indies. Craig Kieswetter's aggressive half-century in the same match, though, would have reminded them of what they can achieve once the two join them. Their bid to qualify for the main draw was helped by some tight bowling and outstanding fielding, with Roelof van der Merwe seeming to pop up everywhere with athletic stops or catches.
Kolkata Knight Riders squad G Gambhir*, L Balaji, R Bhatia, MS Bisla†, SP Goswami, BJ Haddin†, Iqbal Abdulla, JH Kallis, B Lee, YK Pathan, Shami Ahmed, Shakib Al Hasan, RN ten Doeschate, MK Tiwary, JD Unadkat

Samir Nasri's penalty took France to Euro 2012 after a tense evening against Bosnia & Herzegovina.
Edin Dzeko had given the visitors the lead five minutes before half-time, and they withstood a French onslaught early in the second half.
But Manchester City team-mate Nasri won and converted a 78th-minute spot-kick to give Les Bleus the point they required to maintain their pre-match advantage in Group D.
The away team started brightly but Haris Medunjanin shot over from distance and Senad Lulic scuffed wide after dispossessing Anthony Reveillere.
France's Loic Remy wasted a fine chance when he outpaced the defence but a heavy touch allowed keeper Kenan H [...]

In Kolkata alone more than two thousand pandals are set up, all clamoring for the admiration and praise of the populace. The city is adorned with lights. People from all over the country visit the city at this time, and every night is one mad carnival where thousands of people go 'pandal-hopping' with their friends and family. Traffic comes to a standstill, and indeed, most people abandon their vehicles to travel by foot after a point. A special task force is deployed to control law and order. Durga Puja in Kolkata is often referred to as the Rio Carnival of the Eastern Hemisphere. Submit your suggestion / comments / complaints / Takedown request on lookyp.com@gmail.com

Chinese Telecom Firm Tied To Spy Ministry -- Washington Times
CIA: Beijing funded Huawei
A U.S. intelligence report for the first time links China's largest telecommunications company to Beijing's KGB-like intelligence service and says the company recently received nearly a quarter-billion dollars from the Chinese government.
The disclosures are a setback for Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.'s efforts to break into the U.S. telecommunications market. The company has been blocked from doing so three times by the U.S. government because of concerns about its links to the Chinese government. Read more ....
My Comment: Is this surprising .... no. What would have surprised me was if the Chinese government did not give a a quarter-billion dollars to Huawei.
And they rightly conclude that Romney might depress or suppress Republican enthusiasm. Now, the GOP establishment, their thinking is that Romney is electable in a general...
I'm skeptical! This premise has Obama's people and establishment Republicans on the same page!
... but the base, the Republican base is not jazzed. Turnout is obviously gonna be crucial....
His point — which he's been making elsewhere on the program — is that Romney isn't a good conservative, and the GOP establishment, which lacks confidence in real conservatism, is pushing Romney. The establishment thinks that's the way to win, but in fact, according to Limbaugh, it's staunch Reaganesque conservatism that wins for Republicans. You need to jazz up the base and pump up turnout. Oddly, in this monologue, the Obama White House understands what the GOP establishment doesn't — that Romney won't inspire enthusiasm.
Earlier in the show, Rush noted that the White House chose the day of the debate to dump records showing — I'm quoting trom the Michael Isikoff's story — that "senior Obama administration officials used Mitt Romney's landmark health-care law in Massachusetts as a model for the new federal law, including recruiting some of Romney's own health care advisers and experts to help craft the act now derided by Republicans as 'Obamacare.'" Rush saw that move — correctly, I'd say — as evidence that the White House wants to stop Romney.
So is Romney the strongest candidate for the Republicans or not? If the GOP establishment wants him and the White House doesn't, that is overwhelming evidence that Romney is the strongest. But that conclusion conflicts with Rush's de [...]

Nigel Worthington's Northern Ireland tenure ended in more disappointment as his side were comfortably beaten by an Italy side inspired by the finishing of Antonio Cassano.
Worthington, whose reign as manager ends, was forced to send out a youthful side due to a series of withdrawals that left him two substitutes short and Cassano took full advantage, producing two wonderful goals to finish the campaign with six.
The Group C winners' third left a sour taste for another departing Northern Irishman, as veteran goalkeeper Maik Taylor's misunderstanding with Gareth McAuley resulted in a demoralising own-goal.
Worthington has been hampered throughout qualification by injuries and suspensions, so it seemed cruelly fitting that his final match came with his res [...]

the episode starts with the same scene. Kokila says that rashi wil sing at the pandal and leaves and rashi too leaves irritated. Only jigar and Hetal remains in the hall.
Jigar is all confused and sad and hetal sees this and asks him why is he loooking all lost and jigar says that he is just tired and leaves. Here rashi is pacing in the room tensed and calls urmila.

Rashi says that urmi cant understand her problem and how much she is tensed regarding sonal and asks her why did she opened her mouth in front of sonal
Urmi assures rashi saying that she is far more clever than anyone because of her experience and sonal cant defeat her. Urmi says that she can easily add fright in peoples lives so no need for her to worry about sonal and suggests rashi to drink a lot of cold water and also to eat the ice like the last time so that her throat gets sore.

Suspected Insurgents Tortured In Afghanistan, U.N. says -- L.A. Times
The United Nations report says detainees have been subjected to beatings, shocks and other brutal abuses. The findings may complicate U.S. efforts to hand off security responsibilities.
Reporting from Kabul, Afghanistan — Suspected insurgents in Afghan custody have been subjected to torture including electric shocks, being hung by their hands and having their genitals twisted, the United Nations mission in Afghanistan said in a report Monday.
The 74-page report, detailing a widespread pattern of brutal abuses, will probably complicate American efforts to hand over security responsibilities to Afghan authorities as a prelude to winding down the Western combat mission in Afghanistan.
