Home-grown terrorists ‘a serious problem in Aust’

He was asked if he was surprised when he started in the job by the number of young Australians moving overseas to receive terrorism training before returning home. “The answer to the question is that I was surprised to see that we do have a serious problem in Australia,” he said. “One possibility is that people come here self-contained intending to do harm, a second possibility is that people come here and recruit locally as it were and put together a sort of partly external and partly domestic scenario, and then the third possibility the one you’re alluding to is where people are home-grown and I think it does come as something of a shock to see that there are home-grown people who would like to do harm in this country… He was asked if he was surprised when he started in the job by the number of young Australians moving overseas to receive terrorism training before returning home. “The answer to the question is that I was surprised to see that we do have a serious problem in Australia,” he said. “One possibility is that people come here self-contained intending to do harm, a second possibility is that people come here and recruit locally as it were and put together a sort of partly external and partly domestic scenario, and then the third possibility the one you’re alluding to is where people are home-grown and I think it does come as something of a shock to see that there are home-grown people who would like to do harm in this country.

San Francisco Chronicle – Feb 11, 2006
Now that the Olympics have begun at a cost of $1. 4 billion, Turin’s organizational plan will be tested in a number of areas, primarily in transportation to the mountain venues on two-lane roads that could be clogged with traffic and delayed by weather conditions.

But the Olympics is all about the athletes, and over the next 17 days, stars will emerge, some expected, others not, as 252 medals will be awarded. Fans will thrill to Alpine events and short-track speed skating, among others, while the men’s hockey tournament promises competition at the highest level of the sport. For one night, however, the stars were Pavarotti and those Mongolian hats.

English Premier League chairman Dave Richards, one of athree-man panel which will pick the new England manager, appearedto rule out Hiddink, the leading foreign candidate for thehigh-pressure post. “I do believe it’s time for a British manager — somebodywho understands our passion, belief and commitment to the game,”Richards said.

Thuan says, then the Vietnamese factories need to work closely together and keep each other informed of market news, prices and promotions so that they can win and make the most of large orders. In addition, the people who work in the industry need more training, especially in design, brand building and general marketing. Just as important is setting up material supply centers to allow a gradual transition away from the passive approach of simply processing received materials to the active approach of independent manufacturing and the export of home-grown brands.

The reason is simple. It’s competing for the leisure dollar in a highly competitive marketplace that offers a bewildering array of consumer choices unheard of in jazz’s Golden Era (1920-60): DVDs, video games, computers, iPods, cable television, digital cameras and multitask cell phones. Pop music, promoted with ruthless efficiency by the major corporations, dominates the cultural spaces. Jazz’s voice is struggling to be heard. So what’s new?
