Entertainment Community Joins Together for "YouVote" Video; Unprecedented Non-Partisan Effort to Get Out the Vote The Creative Coalition's "YouVote" video launches today on YouTube at http://www.thecreativecoalition.org/events/youvotevideo.htm. Conceived and directed by filmmaker Sue Kramer, "YouVote" leverages the spotlight of the entertainment industry to inspire and encourage Americans to vote in the upcoming presidential election. For the first time ever, actors, filmmakers, producers and directors are joining together in a fully non-partisan and inter-generational effort to encourage voter participation. The three minute video includes over 40 celebrities, including Blake Lively, Anne Hathaway, Tim Daly, Samuel L. Jackson, Susan Sarandon, Marcia Cross, Jane Krakowski and The Muppets (please see complete list at end of release). "YouVote" is set to the sound of a true American anthem, Today, an original song written by Dana Parish and Andrew Hollander and performed by Dana Parish. "For too long the entertainment community has been accused of being either indifferent to important issues or lending their voices only to certain pet causes. This video demonstrates that Hollywood understands voting is not about liberal or conservative, it's about participating in the democratic process and being a proud American," said Sue Kramer, director of the "YouVote" video. Executive Director of The Creative Coalition Robin Bronk added, "We are very pleased to marshal the voices of the entertainment community to encourage voter participation. We are advocates of democracy and want to do our part to encourage every citizen of voting age to be an active participant in this most historical election. The message of the "YouVote" video is simple - to get out and vote." As part of the video, a number of participants recite the following Margaret Mead quote: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Other contributors share statements, quotes, and personal anecdotes on the importance and privilege of voting. The video was made possible with a grant from Paul Mitchell Hair Systems. The video will be released nationwide today and can be viewed at the following websites : www.youvotevideo.org and at www.thecreativecoalition.org Celebrity Participants: Blake Lively, Susan Sarandon, Tim Daly, Anne Hathaway, Kate Walsh, Tony Goldwyn, Carla Gugino, Penn Badgley, Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick, Barry Levinson, Josh Lucas, Rachael Leigh Cook, Richard Schiff, Wendie Malick, Ricki Lake, Tom Cavanagh, Bradley Cooper, Saffron Burrows, Giancarlo Esposito, Dana Delany, Ellen Burstyn, Gloria Reuben, Connie Britton, Tamara Tunie, Amy Brenneman, Kathy Najimy, Samuel L.

The pictures were allotted the front page on the glossy spread, completely unmindful of the psychological pain and suffering which the families of the deceased servicemen and their serving comrades in Afghanistan would have to undergo when they see the pictures. Although the freedom of press is fiercely protected in France, the act has outraged the public which implies that the magazine should apologize for its careless act and refrain from such actions in future. French media has every right to rekindle the argument regarding the role played by French troops in Afghanistan given the fact that nearly two third of the population is against their positioning along with US led ...

The Pope should come up with a better idea to instill Christian beliefs in French Catholics. Israel protests against Iranian threats Protest by the Israeli state is rightly justified. Iran needs to understand that we do not live in a perfect world and that whatever we give comes back to us. Comments by Israeli officials should be seen in the light of Iranian threat to eradicate Israel from the world map. No one in Israel would be interested in kidnapping Ahmadinejad and no Israeli likes war. But then what can be done to ensure the security and viability of the Israeli state, surrounded by rogue bodies bent on destroying it. It must be understood that the Jewish state of Israel is not at war with Hamas or Hezbollah that are pawns of Iran who is responsible for the funding, creation and arming of both the terrorist organizations. The world should understand that no amount of territorial concession by Israel, be it in west bank or Gaza strip, can wipe out the Iranian desire to annihilate Jewish state. The Israeli comment denotes the anger and frustration that pervades the Israeli mindset when Iran threatens it time and again by flaunting its nuclear intentions. Japan may withdraw military from Iraq Very soon Japan too will join the list of countries that supported operations in Iraq at one point of time and pulled out since. The withdrawal is probably one of the reasons for decline in the spate of violence within Iraq. Now, are policy makers in United Kingdom watching the trend? The presence of American and British forces in Iraq has so far only exacerbated the bloodshed in the country. Iraq no longer requires foreign troop presence to uphold democracy. As long as the Iraqi government was calling for political and military assistance there was a moral obligation to provide it. Now with things normalizing Britain should leave Iraqis to mend for themselves. Ensuring a running thriving democracy within Iraq is their problem Britain should stop acting like a godfather to them in state affairs. Prime Minister Gordon Brown must recall the troops from Iraq immediately before the British electorate votes him out next year. Crime within Mexico hitting a new high Crime within Mexico is hitting a new high each day. This in spite of government efforts to scale down violence through deployment of 36,000 troops within the country. However, one thing that could turn the tide is public frustration. Recent march by nearly a 100,000 Mexicans throughout the country registers a strong protest against the protracted epidemic of violent killings, kidnappings and shootouts. At least it would pressurize the government to strengthen crime fighting efforts. Ordinary Mexicans can t move around freely without of being robbed, looted or even killed. Mexico needs to discipline its faltering police force. It is notoriously famous for its alliances with the drug gangs and extorting money. The authorities should immediately push reforms and purge the corrupt police officers. Mexicans should continue expressing their frustrations with greater vigor until the out-of-control drug cartels and shameful kidnappers preying on innocent families are subdued.

Guatemala to prosecute criminal elements A United Nations report is calling on Guatemala to increase efforts to prosecute criminal elements within the country. The special commission is called the International Commission Against impunity in Guatemala, released the report stating that extra efforts must be exerted to prosecute criminal elements in Guatemala. On 12 December 2006, the Guatemalan government and United Nations signed an agreement to establish an independent international commission against impunity in Guatemala. The mandate of the commission is to investigate and promote the prosecution of legal society organizations. The commission says that while Guatemala has begun moving forward with efforts to crackdown on illegal armed groups, the small number of prosecutions and lack of protection from the police, judges and witnesses requires more work. Japan shook by 7 magnitude earthquake It is a classic case of American news channel making disproportionate news out of everything that comes out of Japan. On one hand, CNN headlines the story of massive earthquake that was 7.0 on magnitude scale, while the eastern coast of Hokkaido, Japan only sees a few sets of four inch ripple on the shoreline. Japanese news channel the entire day have been siphoning a collective yawn instead, after the front page coverage of the NPD election and the announcement of a wide scale Japanese troop pullout from Iraq. However should you ever manage to look past that 7.0 magnitude earthquake is two times stronger that killed 6500 people in and around Kobe in 1995 you notice that today s earthquake still struck at the depth of 12 miles and 80 miles off the shore of Japan s north west state. It is normal practice for Asian news especially for Japan to get heavily sensationalized during its dizzying spin to the western news user. News flash has had large scale earthquakes that wrecked unforgettable destruction in the past lets not forget about all those little ones felt by the country everyday of the week. West Bengal promotes IT investments People should be thankful to the Information technology department of government of west Bengal after it decided to provide land to the IT major Infosys. The pronouncement would help salvage the image of the state that took a beating following the Singur problem. The ruckus generated around the Tata Nano plant in Singur has generated skepticism in the minds of prospective investors regarding the safety of their future investments. West Bengal needs lucrative investors to help create employment opportunities for the young. The animation and gaming industry has a potential to emerge as a major revenue spinner. Kolkata has marched ahead in areas of animation and gaming, with prominent players making a foray into the state. The state government should march ahead and provide full support to the IT industry along with other small and medium scale industries. Only such measures can help improve the image of West Bengal as an investor friendly state, otherwise tainted by Singur controversy.

Since the attacks the federal government has made only limited progress toward preventing a catastrophic nuclear, biological or chemical attack on U.S. soil and combating the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction abroad. The perpetuation of terrorism since then and manhandling of entire issue by US and its allies has posed serious threat to international peace as evident from subsequent events like 7/7 brutal attacks in London and elsewhere. The coalition forces seemed to have veered from their real target which comprised the elimination of Al Qaeda and Taliban forces.

Although there has been no terrorist attack on the United States since 9/11 the threat of a new major attack is still very real. Both terrorism and economic recession are major challenges confronting US Nepal to end bonded labor The government decided to abolish the Haliya system the other day. This is an important step towards establishing social justice through abolition of the remnants of feudal system. The system is analogous to bonded labor and is a glaring example of the ruthless feudal relations that survives on exploitation and expropriation of the returns of labor. Held in debt bondage for generations those belonging to the lower rungs, especially untouchables and subalterns, are compelled to till and tend the land without being compensated for the labor. Once liberated and emancipated they should not be forced to till the land which is not owned by them as this is illegal and punishable by law. However, the decision needs effective implementation to ensure substantive improvement in the social and economic life of the bonded laborers. The abolition of the Haliyas system should be complemented by alternative means of livelihood so that the Haliyas can lead an independent and dignified life otherwise they might relapse into subjugation. Bolivia civil war threatens Brazil The situation is very tense in Bolivia, more specifically in the department of Santa Cruz, the richest and which has the largest natural gas reserves in the country. There is risk of having a civil war. The conflicts started because of a decision by President Evo Morales want to use the funds obtained from the income of gas in a social program, reducing the financial resources of the Departments. These Five departments in Bolivia, the richest, want to become autonomous regions, opening the possibility for that Bolivia is divided into two countries. Between yesterday and today, thousands of demonstrators took the streets of Santa Cruz and federal buildings are being invaded. There are rumors that thousands of Indigenous are going towards Santa Cruz to combat the separatist protesters. Moreover, these demonstrators attacked the gas pipeline that delivers natural gas to Sao Paulo state in Brazil, trying to force the Brazilian government to enter the conflict. For while Brazil seems to be very concerned about the situation but will not intervene in this situation, because it is clear the intention of the protesters is to overthrow a president who was democratically elected. Indian physicist, victim of racism Of the three main past and present physicists behind the landmark proton-smashing experiment in Geneva, the third man is the Bose of the Higgs-boson experiment - Satyendra Nath Bose so brilliant and yet so overlooked. It is Bose after whom the sub-atomic particle 'boson' is named. The $10 billion Large Hadron Collider experiment in Switzerland could not have happened without Bose and Albert Einstein. In 1924, Bose sent a paper to Einstein describing a statistical model that laid the basis for describing one of the two categories of the elementary particles that make up an atom of which one was boson. Einstein had already won the Nobel in 1921,the British scientist Peter Higgs who eventually came up with his theory of the Higgs boson is now widely tipped to win the Nobel. It is Satyendra Nath Bose who for some reason never won the medal perhaps he became a victim to institutionalized racism. In such a case the international community and the Nobel academy should make amends through immediate recognition of his work.

It should remember that the same can be achieved through constructive means and not by ruthlessly trampling over the sentiments of the bereaved families. Mexican court upholds law favoring free, legal abortion Mexico Court's decision to uphold a law that allows legal and free abortion in Mexico City during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy is widely acclaimed by the feminists, and why not. This ruling is of great importance and set a precedent for state legislatures to pass measures legalizing abortion. It is likely to encourage similar legislative drives outside Mexico City where abortion remains illegal except in certain cases, such as pregnancies resulting from rape or incest. It is even good as the abortions have long been available in Mexico and many poor women seeking to terminate pregnancies have obtained drugs from pharmacists without a doctor's signature. But this move would make abortions more widely available to women of all social classes while reducing the risk of death or injury from procedures performed in underground clinics. Moreover, it's historic with a wide impact on women's rights not only in Mexico but throughout Latin America. Baby peddling thrives in South Korea The South Korean fertility industry is one of the largest industries which operates with virtually no rules or governmental oversight. 'Ae Ran Won' are birthing rooms that supply the raw material (babies) for export to the United States. Korea is the largest supplier of babies to the U.S. and accounts for 62 percent of all babies adopted from abroad. While the surrogates make anywhere from $ 10000 to $75000, this luxury of creating babies also creates a plethora of dilemmas. For instance should doctors be allowed to implant multiple embryos? If triplets or even quintuplets are produced, should the adoptive parents be allowed to keep the most desirable of the litter and discard the remainder? Such choices present very hard questions about the worthiness of life. The complexities of baby trade are mind boggling and need to be approached with extreme caution and regulated closely, if not by the individual states, then by the federal government. Child labor and trafficking rampant in Malawi Child labor and trafficking in Malawi is nothing new. Children as young as 10 years old are trafficked from many parts of the country and are kept in critical conditions. These children are used in agricultural work, whereas girls are put in domestic work and in some cases, prostitution. Due to these conditions these children do not have the opportunity to access formal education. There are currently no proper records of children trafficked for child labor due to poor technical and financial capacity. The other weaknesses include lack of clear policy on child labor or child trafficking and therefore, those promoting this modern-day slavery have not been punished enough. There are some community programs aimed at curbing this problem, but they are so far insufficient. There is a crucial need for a law on child trafficking and child labor and an urgent need on educating the poor, the first victims of this menace, failing which, Malawi is doing nothing but breeding an HIV disaster.
