Huge terror cell case begins its costly course
Toronto Star – Dec 20, 2006
"The federal Department of Justice has absolutely no intentions of allowing a preliminary hearing," charged lawyer Edward Sapiano. He said he believes the government will eventually take the rare step of waiving a preliminary hearing and proceeding instead directly to trial in what’s known as a "preferred indictment. "Since the arrests this summer of the alleged "home-grown terrorism cell" shocked Canadians, and made headlines around the world, the case has been inching along in the Brampton courthouse. In total 14 adults and four youths were arrested and charged with belonging to a terrorist organization, with some of the group facing additional charges for allegedly attending the training camp north of Toronto and plotting to bomb southern Ontario targets. Two of the adults – Ahmed Ghany and Ibrahim Alkhalel Aboud – have been granted bail, while the rest remain in custody. There are still three bail cases pending. The case against the four youths, who are charged with attending the training camp held in Washago, Ont.

FEATURE-Congo takes tentative steps towards power dream
Reuters AlertNet – Dec 20, 2006
Experts are carrying out a $200 million feasibility study spearheaded by the African Development Bank, which should be completed by late 2007. The new plant could be a useful precursor to building "Grand Inga" — the huge power plant they say may one daly literally light up Africa. FIXING A HOLE It is just the sort of project proponents of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) would like to see fuelling home-grown industry and economic growth on the poorest continent. Several of Africa’s economies are hamstrung by structural power deficits and chronic blackouts due to low levels in hydropower dams, high fuel costs for thermal power stations or simply as a result of decades of underinvestment. The crisis could trim 1 to 2 percent off economic growth in affected countries, said Vijay Iyer, an energy specialist at the World Bank. "Stepping up Africa’s electricity generation and access will need quantum jumps," Iyer told Reuters in an interview. For Afande Cesar, who breeds pigs near the Inga plant, change cannot come soon enough.

When Edie sleepsit’s time for housework or having your first shower in livingmemory; when she’s awake it’s time to juggle at least three balls:entertaining, feeding and hunting down lost raisins. At the end ofmy six weeks of leave, my respect for stay-at-home parents hadgrown enormously. But here’s the flipside: being a stay-at-home dad is wonderful,too. In between the drudgery of domesticity and relentlessness ofresponsibility, there are the memorable, uplifting moments. Toughas it is at home, the job comes laced with unexpected flushes ofjoy and love. This subtle, wonderful aspect of raising kids is something mostblokes seldom discuss.
