Five confess to gang-raping Swiss tourist in India: police
AFP, New Delhi: Five villagers have confessed to
gang-raping a Swiss tourist in central India, police said Sunday, in an incident
that has renewed focus on the rampant violence against women in the country.
The woman was on a cycling holiday with her husband in
impoverished Madhya Pradesh state when six men attacked the couple on Friday
night, sexually assaulting the woman and robbing the pair, police said.
“We have detained five men and they have confessed to
gang-raping the woman and attacking her husband,” local police official M.S.
Dhodee told AFP.
Police are searching for a sixth man, who was also
involved in the crime, Dhodee said.
The alleged rapists live in a village near the forested
area where the couple had stopped to camp for the night, while on a cycling
trip to the popular tourist destination of Agra in northern India, Dhodee said.
“They were passing by, noticed the couple putting up
their tent and saw an opportunity to attack and rape the woman,” he said.
He added that the five detainees would be arrested
shortly, pending formalities.
After the attack, the rape victim, aged about 40,
underwent a medical examination at a local hospital before leaving for the
Indian capital Delhi, police said.
“The victim and her husband have left for Delhi, since
there was no need for her to stay in hospital here,” another local police
official U.C. Shadangi told AFP.
Shadangi said that police were in touch with Swiss
embassy officials, who declined to comment to AFP about the case.
The Swiss foreign ministry in Bern released a statement
on Saturday expressing deep shock at the “tragic incident”.
The attack comes just
three months after thousands took to the streets in nationwide protests
following the fatal gang-rape of a 23-year-old student on a bus in New Delhi in
December.
No scope to create confusion over ICT: NHRC chair
From New Age
National Human Rights Commission chairman Mizanur Rahmman said on Monday that there was no scope to create confusion over the definition of the crimes being dealt by the International Crimes Tribunal.
Speaking at a roundtable in the city he said that the International Crimes (Tribunal) Act 1973 had unambiguously defined the crimes that would come under its mischief.
He said that the 1973 law describes genocide, rape and other crimes as crimes against humanity and peace just as the international law states.
He said that Bangladesh’s International Crimes Tribunal was dealing with the offences committed particularly during the 1971 Liberation War.
He said that the tribunal did not provide new definitions of these crimes.
Mizan said that the tribunal was only dealing with the internationally recognised crimes.
Liberation War Museum hosted the roundtable on ‘Non-retroactivity of International Crimes Tribunal and Defining the Crimes Against Humanity.’
Mizan said that he would expect that the 1973 law and the International Crimes Tribunal of Bangladesh would set an international example of prosecuting the war crimes accused.
At the roundtable inauguration earlier in the morning, law minister Shafique Ahmed said
that the government set up the International Crimes Tribunal to ensure justice to the people who
suffered during the Liberation War.
He said that the tribunal was not politically harassing anyone.
California University professor Laurence Fletcher, Sara Hossain of Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust, International Crimes Tribunal registrar Shahinur Islam and LWM trustee Mufidul Haque spoke, among others.

Bangladesh non-govt pry teachers continue work abstention
From New Age
Non-government registered primary teachers kept their schools under lock and key for the second consecutive day on Monday, demanding pay hike and nationalisation of their jobs.
Teachers and students said no classes were taken on the day.
‘Teachers across the country locked up schools on Monday. No classes took place,’ Abdur Rahman, member secretary of the National Non-Government Primary Teachers United Alliance, told New Age.
‘We will continue our movement. We will also abstain from work on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,’ he added.
He also said they would submit a memorandum to all MPs between January 20 and February 20 and to the speaker on March 14.
They will also hold a march towards the Prime Minister’s Office on April 10.

Limon’s charge hearing deferred
From New Age
A Jhalakati court on Monday deferred till March 27 the hearing on the charge framing against college student Limon Hossain in a case filed on charge of obstructing RAB from discharging their duties.
Nusrat Jahan, judge of Jhalakati Senior Judicial Magistrate’s court, passed the order as the police failed to complete investigation into the case even after 10 months of the incident.
Limon appeared before the court in the morning to face the allegation.
On March 23, a RAB team reportedly shot Limon in the left leg after taking him to a place adjacent to his house at Jamaddarhat in Rajapur upazila in Jhalakati.
The leg had to be amputated later.
RAB on the same day filed two cases — one under arms act and another for obstructing RAB personnel from discharging their duties — against the teenager Limon and seven others.
On April 24, sub-inspector Arifur Rahman, the investigation officer of the two cases, submitted charge sheets against the accused in the arms case.

NORAD Santa Tracker 2011: Google Maps Helps Keep An Eye On Santa
From Huff Post Tech
The holidays are here at last. And you know what that means. No, not family, togetherness or even presents. It means it's time to track Santa as he makes his annual trek around the globe.

You can also keep tabs on Santa's sleigh from your mobile device. Just open your Google Maps app and search "santa" for an up-to-the-minute display of Santa's delivery route…(full story)
A healthy Urban Meyer returns to coaching
From Dayton Daily News
Gene Smith was explaining why Urban Meyer was the search committee’s first choice, its only choice, its perfect choice to become Ohio State’s new football coach.
“He gets it,” the OSU athletics director said on two different occasions at a Monday evening news conference to announce the big-splash hire. “We’re fortunate to have a man who gets it.”
Whether Meyer truly does, that is the big question.
Sure he’s a born and bred Buckeye — he grew up in Ashtabula infatuated by the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Big Red Machine and the Cincinnati Bengals.
And, yes, he understands what it takes to run a big-time college football program and win a national championship. In six seasons, he took the Florida Gators to two national crowns.
But the real test for him will come with the contract he just signed.
Not the one he supposedly inked earlier Monday. That one is for six years and is thought to pay him at least $4 million a year to lift the scandal-nicked Buckeye program back to national prominence.
To hear him, that’s an easy task compared to the other pact he signed.
When he took his turn at the microphone, Meyer reached into a pocket of his dark suit coat, pulled out a folded-up pink piece of paper and held it up so the media crowd that jammed the Fawcett Center could see.
“This is the contract my kids made me sign before I was allowed to sign a real contract. And it’s tougher than any other contract I’ve signed in my life,” he said in reference to his three children — two daughters who are playing college volleyball and 13-year-old son Nate who sat next to his mom, aunt and uncle at the gathering and was nodding vigorously as his dad explained.
Although Meyer never revealed the provisos he had agreed to, his family later filled in some of the details…(full story)
Barney Frank: Don't Blame Me for Fannie, Freddie Problems
From Wall Street Journal
Rep. Barney Frank is blamed in certain quarters for spurring the financial crisis of 2008 by encouraging the government to make more loans to the poor.
In announcing his plans to retire from Congress at the end of 2012, the Massachusetts Democrat offered a characteristically detailed and spirited defense of his actions, and cast blame at Republicans for a failure to act.
Mr. Frank acknowledged that he did not see the financial crisis coming and believed that government-sponsored mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were “doing well” until 2003.
However, Mr. Frank said that in 2004, he became concerned about the growth in the market for subprime loans, those made to borrowers with weak credit. Those loans are often faulted for sparking a financial panic starting in 2007…(full story)
Reno fire expands to over 2,000 acres
A cloud of grayish-white smoke settled over upscale homes and horse pastures at Reno's edge Friday as firefighters from across Nevada came close to taming a sudden wildfire that sent 16 people to hospitals and destroyed or damaged 25 houses.
The unexplained blaze also gave a firefighter first- and second-degree burns and was blamed for the death of a 74-year-old man who had a heart attack while trying to flee, but authorities said the worst was likely over as growing snow flurries and falling temperatures stoked hopes that the remaining showers of ember and ash would die down.
Reno Fire Chief Mike Hernandez said firefighters had largely contained the blaze that sent nearly 10,000 people from their homes in the middle of the night and sent flames licking the edges of the region's mountain roads.
Think you know the US? Take our geography quiz.
"We are actually backtracking and going over areas that have burned and extinguishing hot spots," Hernandez said.
The cause of the blaze wasn't known, but a downed power line or homeless encampments in the area might be to blame, Hernandez said. He said the region is also a popular area for teenagers who might have started the fire to stay warm.
At least 400 firefighters from as far as 260 miles away flocked to Reno early Friday as multiple fires roared from the Sierra Nevada foothills in northwestern Nevada and spread to the valley floor. Flames reached 50 feet high and embers pushed by the wind traveled up to a mile.
Police went house-to-house, pounding on doors and urging residents to evacuate in the dark of the night.
Hernandez said residents ran from their homes dressed in pajamas, frantically trying to grab as many possessions as possible. One elderly man dressed in his underwear ran out with a blanket wrapped around his body.
"The people are in a state of shock and are hanging in there," Gov. Brian Sandoval said.
Dick Hecht said that when he escaped from his home with his wife, "the whole mountain was on fire," and it was so windy he could barely stand.
"It was so smoky, you couldn't hardly see," Hecht said.
The couple tried to return to their home before morning, but they were turned back by high winds and erupting flames. As they made their way back down the mountain roads, flames burned less than 40 yards from their vehicle.
Gusts of up to 60 mph grounded firefighting helicopters and made it difficult for firefighters to approach Caughlin Ranch, the affluent subdivision bordering pine-forested hills where the fire likely began after 12:30 a.m.
