policy in the Middle East and South Asia. Also of growing concern is al Qaeda’s seeming ability to inspire home-grown cells in Western countries including Britain, where authorities thwarted an alleged plot to blow up U. -bound trans-Atlantic airliners in August. VIABLE SAFE HAVENHayden said bin Laden and his second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri, believed holed up on the mountainous border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, have been able to maintain al Qaeda’s cohesion from a viable safe haven. “That safe haven gives them the physical and even psychological space they need to meet, train, plan, prepare new attacks,” said Hayden, a four-star Air Force general.

Even in Soviet times the strongest Moldovan teams were often coached by individuals from other republics but plans are now in place to provide the country with home-grown coaching talent. Money problemsIn the first years of independence Moldovan clubs looked to neighbouring Romania and Ukraine for their leading coaches. However, big-name coaches were put off by the modest finances of the clubs and the few that did come did not stay for long. Russian coach Anatoli Baidachny was a prime example. The former Belarus coach lasted a matter of weeks at FC Tiligul Tiraspol.

FOLLOWING on from our generous celeb stories yesterday, footy player Chris Grant is doing his bit to dispel bad AFL stereotypes. The Western Bulldogs player returned home early from a family holiday to help out with ParaQuad for Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Week, running this week. In fact, when he was offered an ambassador role at the last minute, Grant jumped off the couch with 45 minutes’ notice to make it to the charity’s Monday launch. Event organisers couldn’t stop gushing over Grant’s generosity.

It is shot on film and looks magnificent, andthere’s a consistent attempt to show off new music. Not so thankfully, fewer and fewer people seem to be tuning ineach week. Why is this so? What does CSIInsert-Sexy-Location-Here have that Tripping Over doesn’t?What is it going to take for Australian viewers to stand up ontheir desks Dead Poets Society-style and make a case forhome-grown drama?Love My Way has been heralded for some time as thesaving face of Australian television, but anyone without Foxtelmight have struggled to catch an episode. Hands up how many of youhave noddingly accepted Karvan and co as the reigning team ofAustralian teev without actually catching so much as 15 minutes?Not to say that LMW isn’t high quality of course; it isbeautifully handled and makes compelling viewing. But there’splenty of rich and chocolatey goodness directly under ourcommercial television noses, if only we’d care to sit down for anhour or so each week and look. Tripping Over is a shining example of what should work,and lord help me I’m going to tell you why and you are going to sitthere and listen until I’m done and then we may have a nice cup oftea.
Chinese bike makers back on hunt
Times of India – Nov 16, 2006
Nearly half a decade after
three Chinese bike makers announced mega strategies to ride into India and
aborted plans mid-way, two new motorcycle makers from across the Great Wall are
preparing to enter the burgeoning Indian two-wheeler
market. Interestingly, the Chinese new entrants — Guangzhou
Motors Company and Zongshen Motorcycle Company — have zeroed in on
communist state West Bengal for setting up their assembly
plants. Home-grown Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) is also in talks
with two Chinese firms — Lifan and Loncin — to set up parallel
ventures, marking its foray into motorcycles. Guangzhou will be the
first one to hit the market with its bikes in January 2007 in an alliance with
infotech company Xenitis. The bikes will be produced by their JV company Global
Motors. Zongshen, on the other hand, has formed a joint venture —
Mahabharath Motors — with Indonesia-based Salim group and NRI Prasun
Mukherjee. Its bikes are expected to hit the roads by the end of
2007.
