NEW ORLEANS | Wed Aug 29, 2012 7:52pm EDT


NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Hurricane Isaac dumped heavy rains on the U.S. Gulf Coast and caused widespread flooding on Wednesday, but elaborate defenses built to protect New Orleans after the 2005 Hurricane Katrina disaster withstood the onslaught, officials said.

The massive cyclone, which weakened to a tropical storm on Wednesday afternoon as it moved slowly into Louisiana, pushed water over a levy on the outskirts of New Orleans and threatened to flood oil refineries and towns in the state and neighboring Mississippi.

But fears of a repeat of the catastrophe of Katrina that swamped large parts of New Orleans exactly seven years ago and killed 1,800 people, did not materialize and there were no immediate reports of injuries or deaths. -- http://www.reuters.com/

HURRICANE, n. An atmospheric demonstration once very common but now generally abandoned for the tornado and cyclone. The hurricane is still in popular use in the West Indies and is preferred by certain old-fashioned sea-captains. It is also used in the construction of the upper decks of steamboats, but generally speaking, the hurricane's usefulness has outlasted it. --Ambrose Bierce

The three versions of the “ecce homo” fresco of Jesus. From left, the original version by Elías García Martínez, a 19th-century painter; a deteriorated version of the fresco; the restored version by Cecilia Giménez.


By RAPHAEL MINDER
Published: August 23, 2012


MADRID â€" A case of suspected vandalism in a church in a northeastern village in Spain has turned out to be probably the worst art restoration project of all time.

An elderly woman stepped forward this week to claim responsibility for disfiguring a century-old “ecce homo” fresco of Jesus crowned with thorns, in Santuario de la Misericordia, a Roman Catholic church in Borja, near the city of Zaragoza.

Ecce homo, or behold the man, refers to an artistic motif that depicts Jesus, usually bound and with a crown of thorns, right before his crucifixion.

The woman, Cecilia Giménez, who is in her 80s, said on Spanish national television that she had tried to restore the fresco, which she called her favorite local representation of Jesus, because she was upset that parts of it had flaked off due to moisture on the church’s walls.

The authorities in Borja said they had suspected vandalism at first, but then determined that the shocking alterations had been made by an elderly parishioner. The authorities said she had acted on her own.

But Ms. Giménez later defended herself, saying she could not understand the uproar because she had worked in broad daylight and had tried to salvage the fresco with the approval of the local clergy. “The priest knew it,” she told Spanish television. “I’ve never tried to do anything hidden.”

Ms. Giménez said she had worked on the fresco using a 10-year-old picture of it, but she eventually left Jesus with a half-beard and, some say, a monkeylike appearance. The fresco’s botched restoration came to light this month when descendants of the 19th-century artist, Elías García Martínez, proposed making a donation toward its upkeep. -- http://www.nytimes.com/

CEBU, Philippines - Asawa nga nakig-esmiringhoy sa iyang kabit sud sa ilang pinuy-anan nasakpan sa bana tungod usab sa pagsumbong sa ilang mga anak hinungdan nga kini natigbasan sa ulo niadtong Domingo sa hapon sa usa sa mga baranggay sa Tabuelan.

Ang 26-anyos nga ginang nalandig sa tambalanan human tigbasa sa 46-anyos nga bana nga usa ka mag-uuma. Ang gitumbok nga kabit giingong silingan ra usab sa magtiayon kansang pangalan gipugngan sa Banat News aron protihian ang mga anak sa magtiayon.

Matud ni PO2 Gilbert Gallego sa Tabuelan Police Station dihang nahinabi sa Banat News didto sa umahan ang bana nianang tungora ug nabilin sa ilang balay ang asawa ug duha nila ka anak nga babaye ug lalaki nga nagpangidaron og 9-anyos ug 8-anyos.

Sumala pa nga nahibulong ang mga anak sa magtiayon nga misulod ang ilang silingang lalaki sa ilang balay ug nag-romansahay sa ilang inahan hinungdan nga nanggawas ang mga bata ug miapas sa ilang amahan didto sa ilang baol ug gisumbong ang ilang nasaksihan. Sa kasuko sa bana nagdali kining mipauli nga nagbitbit sa sundang ug pagsaka niya sa balay iyaha gyung naabtan ang asawa ug ang kulukadidang niini nga nagkarinyohay sulod sa ilang kwarto.

Dihadiha nahapsan sa bana sa sundang ang ulo sa asawa samtang daw may pagkaidlas sa isdang kasili nga nakalayat dayon sa bintana ang kabit ug mikaratil og dagan.

Bisan og samaron na sa ulo ang ginang wala kini lung-i og kulata sa bana hangtud nga nangabot ang mga ginikanan sa babaye ug gidala sa tambalanan. Ang ginang naputos og mga bun-og sa kalawasan gawas pa sa samad tinigbasan sa ulo.

Ang bana malinawong mitahan sa iyang kaugalingon sa mga polis nga miresponde. Sumala pa nga dugay nang nakadungog og tabitabi ang bana sa binuhatan sa duha ilabi na kung may gilakaw ang naulahi. Ang suspek nagplano nga mopasaka og kaso sa iyang asawa ug kabit.

Susamang hitabo usab ang nahitabo sa siyudad sa Naga dihang nasakpan sa usa ka bana ang iyang kapikas nga may kadulog nga laing lalaki diha sa ilang kwarto ug ang duha iyahang natigbasan apan nakaipsot ang lalaki, nasayran nga hasta asawa niini miikyas usab sa tambalanan dihang giadto sa mga polis.

The dog house is pinkified and has two floors. The first floor is the living room and upstairs is the bedroom and there’s a closet for the many outfits of Hilton’s dogs.

It has a clay-tile roof with copper gutters and intricate ceiling molding. A crystal chandelier hangs in the bedroom complete with air conditioning and heating. -- http://therealowner.com/

Rakhine State, like many parts of Myanmar, has a diverse ethnic population. Official figures state Rakhine State's population as 3,983,330 while population estimation (in lieu of lack of proper census since 1983) for 2010 placed the state's population at 4 million.

The ethnic Rakhine make up the majority. The Rakhine reside mainly in the lowland valleys as well as Ramree and Manaung (Cheduba) islands. A number of other ethnic minorities like the Rohingya, Chin, Mro, Chakma, Khami, Dainet, Bangali and Maramagri inhabit mainly in the hill regions of the state. Most of the Tibeto-Burmans living in Rakhine State adhere to Theravada Buddhism. Even the Chin, who are usually related with Protestant Christianity or Animism, of Rakhine state adhere to Buddhism due to the cultural influence of the Rakhine people.

Rakhine state has a large Muslim minority. Amongst them, the Rohingya who live in northern part of the state are the best known, making up approximately 25% of the state's population. According to the UN, they are one of the most persecuted minorities in the world. The 'Rohingya' population, who number about 723,000 according to a 2009 UN estimate, are denied their rights as citizens by the military government.

There were intense sectarian clashes in June 2012. Casualty figures were updated to 80 deaths and estimated 90,000 people were displaced and taking refuge in temporary camps according to official reports. 109 people were injured. A total of 4,822 houses, 17 mosques, 15 monasteries, 3 schools were burnt down. State of Emergency was declared for the whole State on 10th June 2012. Because of those clashes, 60 relief camps were opened in Sittway, 4 in Yathedaung and 7 in Maungtaw, totaling 71, for providing help to 55,495 persons. 9 villages with 470 houses were burnt down. --Wiki

Burma's President Pardons 2 UN Staffers, Another Aid Worker
VOA News
August 28, 2012


Burmese President Thein Sein has pardoned two U.N. personnel and a third aid worker who were sentenced to prison last week for their alleged involvement in a deadly outbreak of Buddhist-Muslim violence in June.

The Burmese presidential office said Tuesday that Thein Sein granted the pardon to the three aid workers employed by the U.N.'s World Food Program, the U.N. refugee agency, and a Burmese non-government organization affiliated to the refugee agency. All three are Burmese Muslims. A U.N. official in New York said the two staffers had been released and had expressed hope the aid worker also would be freed.

A court in western Burma's Rakhine state had sentenced the aid workers to prison terms of two to six years on Friday, after convicting them on charges including arson and inciting unrest between majority Buddhists and minority Rohingya Muslims. Burmese officials have said at least 80 people were killed in a wave of Buddhist-Muslim violence in Rakhine that began in June.

On Monday, U.N. envoy for Burma's human rights situation Tomas Ojea Quintana had told VOA's Burmese service that the Burmese government should release the three detainees immediately.

Quintana said the allegations against the U.N. staff were unfounded. He also said many of the aid workers, recently detained by Burmese authorities in connection with the violence, did not have a chance to consult a lawyer, present evidence or cross-examine witnesses.

BANGKOK â€"  Burma has sentenced two United Nations staff members and one U.N. partner, detained since June, to prison terms for alleged involvement in communal violence in western Rakhine state.

A United Nations spokesman in Rangoon confirmed Monday a Burma court sentenced two of its staff members and a third U.N. partner to prison.

Aye Win said a district court in Maungdaw, in Burma’s western Rakhine state, handed down the sentences on Friday. But authorities have yet to explain the details. He said they were not informed of the trial in advance and the accused were refused lawyers.

“Well, we haven’t had access to these staff members," said Aye Win. "And, we’ve asked for access and we’ve asked for clarification on the sentences.”

Hla Thein, chairman of the government’s Rakhine Riot Information Committee, denied the three were refused lawyers.

He told VOA’s Burmese Service one U.N. staff member was found guilty of arson and given six years in prison. Others were guilty of inciting violence and promoting hatred between Buddhists and Muslims and were given between two and three years. All three were guilty of having illegal amounts of foreign currency, he says, and all of them worked for the U.N.’s refugee agency, the UNHCR.

U.N. Spokesman Aye Win said one UNHCR and one WFP staff member were jailed along with a third unidentified UNHCR partner.

He said all of them are Burma nationals.

"Well, obviously [we’re] very disappointed at the outcome of these cases," he said. "Especially as we had a very positive development when some of the staffers were released last week. So, we had hoped also that these staffers who were under detention would be given the same consideration."

Burma media reports say authorities last week released two people working for the United Nations and four working for Doctors Without Borders.

Burma detained at least twelve humanitarian aid workers, including U.N. staff, in June for alleged involvement in Rakhine state communal unrest.

Sectarian violence between the majority Buddhist Rakhine and minority Muslim Rohingya exploded after a busload of Rohingya were killed over an alleged rape.

Rohingya and Rakhine mobs attacked and burned villages, leaving at least 88 people dead.

The United Nations and other international bodies called for a credible investigation into the violence.

Burma’s government appointed a commission to look into the incidents, which it says will act independently. -- http://www.voanews.com/
