A calmer Iraq takes on another killer — smoking

A calmer Iraq takes on another killer — smoking BAGHDAD – After six years of war and terrorist bombings, Iraq is moving against a different killer in its midst — smoking. Sweeping curbs unveiled by the government Thursday suggest that as the violence subsides, authorities have more time to worry about normal quality-of-life issues. The legislation to go before parliament would ban smoking in public buildings, outlaw sales to under-18s, prohibit advertising, limit tar content and mandate health warnings on cigarette packs. In heavy-smoking Iraq, where people indulge on buses, in NFL Jerseys schools and in hospitals, initial street reactions were mixed, with some welcoming the measure and others saying it would be difficult to enforce and that the government has more pressing issues to tackle. "The government should solve the problems of electricity, the lack of drinking water and get rid of financial corruption. This smoking law should be last on its list," griped Mohammed Hussein, 45, an oil ministry employee who said he smoked for 25 years before quitting. Abbas Hazad, 39, sat with his pregnant wife and two daughters in a park, lit up a cigarette and said he was fine with the planned law. "I know that many people don't like the smell of smoke," he said. "I think Iraq is being given a break — we're starting to think more about our quality of life whereas before we were dealingcheap nfl jerseys with terrorism and bombings." So once parliament reconvenes next month and approves the law, Iraqis could encounter a sight familiar in New York, London, Hong Kong and every other city where smoking is restricted — smokers huddled outside their office buildings and puffing away. That would have been risky when bombings, drive-by shootings and kidnappings were commonplace. Attacks continue daily. But July, with at least 309 Iraqis killed nationwide, was the fourth quietest month since The Associated Press began tracking war-related fatalities in May 2005. Seven American troop deaths were reported — the lowest monthly total since the war started in March 2003, according to the AP tally. Iraq is a latecomer to an anti-smoking trend already under way in Arab countries. It never had restrictions when cigar-loving Saddam Hussein was in power, and the only other attempt came fromwholesale nfl jerseys al -Qaida in Iraq, when it tried to stamp out smoking and other practices deemed un-Islamic in the parts of Iraq it controlled during the insurgency. Al-Qaida's punishment was a chopped-off hand or finger. The new legislation carries fines of 5 million to 10 million dinars ($4,000-$8,000). The Cabinet undertook the ban after parliament ratified the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which requires governments to fight smoking. The Health Ministry says it has already acted to ban smoking in its buildings and bring the anti-smoking message to schools. With U.S. combat forces gone from the cities, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government is increasingly trying to assert control, and to show the world that it is embracing compliance with standards common in other democracies. Ihssan Jaafar Ahmed, the Health Ministry's public health director, acknowledged the ban would be hard to enforce in a country that is emerging from a state of lawlessness. But he saidNike air jordan 19 shoes it was an important first step. Smoking in the region has long been a social imperative and a rite of passage for young men. Packs can cost as little as 50 cents. Bans in several countries vary in scope and enforcement — stricter in Israel and the United Arab Emirates, widely flouted in Egypt. Turkey banned indoor smoking last month, leading a manmonogram satin to shoot a restaurant owner to death after being asked to put out his cigarette. Mohammad Ismail, a 32-year-old smoking with a friend in a riverside park littered with cigarette butts, welcomed the law in principle but said it was hard to quit. "People smoke in Iraq because we don't have that many freedoms," he said. "I mean, a cigarette is a drug — if someone sees trauma every day and has so much oppression, one way to settle your anger is to smoke."

Apple, Google Voice, and number portability

Apple, Google Voice, and number portability There's quite a bit of finger pointing about why Apple banned the Google Voice application from the iPhone store. And now that the FCC is officially investigating we can be assured it will end up in a legal morass. In trying to figure out what exactly is at the heart of the problem (don't say Apple's "control issues"), I heard an interesting perspective on this brouhaha from Todd Barr, viceNike Women Dunk Low Mid High president of marketing at Bandwidth.com, a nationwide CLEC voice carrier that sells voice and data services to businesses. (Note: Fellow CNET blogger Matt Asay provides a good overview of the company's FreePBX product here.) Barr believes that what this controversy boils down to is number portability. Increasingly, our phone numbers (especially mobile numbers) have become our identity, and the FCC enacted the number portability act some time ago to make sure that businesses and consumers can take their number with Nike Dunk Womenthem when they switch carriers. The FCC believes this is important because number portability ensures competition among providers and allows businesses and consumers to keep their number to ensure continuity of their identity. At the time, the FCC contemplated carrier competition - but now, Barr described, there are these "meta" carriers, like Apple, that have a key control point in the telecom ecosystem: the phone user experience. "Just like users want to control their number and identity, they also will increasingly want to control their own telephony experience - like having one number, that can ring to any phone you specify, and even displayNike Free Woven 5.0 ND the correct called-ID number when you call from any phone. Ultimately, I think the crux of the issues is how far the idea of number portability extends to the entire user telephony experience, not just the phone number." This will be an increasingly important issue to carriers as they experiment with fixed-mobile convergence features that let business users control their call flows in more intuitive ways, such as sharing one number and common features across wireless and fixed networks. It will also become very important for services like Google Dallas_Cowboys_Jerseysvoice that abstract the number from the carrier and make the networks dumb pipes. For users to ultimately be in control of their telephony experience and to encourage the next wave of telephony innovation, the concept of portability will need to extend beyondNike Dunk shoes just numbers to the telephony user experience.

Detained in Iran: Hiked in wrong place, wrong time

SAN FRANCISCO – Freelance journalist Shane Bauer planned to cover the elections in northern Iraq's self-ruled Kurdish region. His girlfriend, Sarah Shourd, was going with him on a backpacking trip. Another friend stayed New York Jets jerseysput, under the weather with a cold. Now, Bauer, Shourd and a third companion, Joshua Fattal, are believed to be held by Iranian authorities for crossing into Iranian territory illegally. Friends and family say the group were adventuresome travelers who accidentally stumbled into the wrong place at the wrong time. Pacific News Service Executive Director Sandy Close, who hired Bauer to cover the elections in Kurdistan, said she does not believe the freelance journalist ever intended to go to neighboring Iran. In an e-mail, Bauer told Close he wanted to "feel out the situation (in Kurdistan) and get some ideas for deeper stories." "Kurdistan is the big story in Iraq now," Bauer wrote in the e-mail provided to The Associated Press. "I'm off to Kurdistan ... " The status of the three remained unknown Monday despite efforts by Swiss diplomats to obtain details from the Iranian Foreign Minister. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton also appealed to Iran for information. Their disappearances were reminiscent of other Nike Men Dunk Low episodes involving young American journalists who ended up in hostile territory. Earlier this year, two American journalists detained near the North Korean border with China were sentenced to 12 years of hard labor for entering the country illegally and for "hostile acts." And in January, Iranian-American journalist Roxana Saberi was arrested on spying charges before being released in May. Close said Bauer sent her e-mails on Monday and Wednesday, then went backpacking with Shourd in a popular tourist area renowned for its scenery. It was unclear how the two met up with Fattal. A fourth member of the group, Shon Meckfessel, was to have gone on the hike but did not because he felt sick. Close said Bauer wouldn't have deliberately tried to enter Iran. "He did not express any interest in going to Nike air jordan 1 shoes Iran. He did not speak Farsi, his passion was Arabic," she said. Bauer has traveled to the Middle East and North Africa and was most recently based in Damascus where he is working on a film about Darfur. Bauer's mother, Cindy Hickey of Pine City, Minn., and Shourd's mother, Nora Shourd, said they are concerned for the safety and welfare of the group and hope they return safely. Fattal's father, Jacob, who runs a tech magazine outside Philadelphia, also told reporters: "All we care about is the well-being of Josh and his two hiker friends," he said. A Kurdish official in Iraq has said the three contacted a colleague to say they had entered Iran by mistake on Friday and were surrounded by troops. Iran's state television later said the Americans were arrested after they did not heed warnings from Iranian border guards. Bauer and Shourd, both graduates of the University of California, Berkeley, had been living in the San Francisco Bay area. Close described Bauer as "an artist whose first love is photography. He's also linguistically gifted and just wanted to immerse himself in the Middle East." One of the articles posted on Bauer's Web site is a piece written for The Nation about the U.S.-backed Iraq Special Operations Force. Richard Kim, senior editor of the magazine, praised Bauer, saying "he did excellentJordan I shoes and meticulous work on that article." Kim said Bauer is not currently on assignment for The Nation. Shourd has written for a number of online publications, including Brave New Traveler. She has also has taught English. Ross Borden, founder of an online travel magazine that includes Brave New Traveler, described Shourd as "very professional. She wrote a great story for us." "She's obviously a professional traveler, as you can see by her latest adventure, going hiking in Iraq," he said. "Not many people go hiking in Iraq." Fattal spent three years recently living with a group dedicated to sustainable farming near Cottage Grove, Ore. He lived with about nine others and worked as the group's intern coordinator before leaving about eight months ago, according to Jason Brown, who now holds Fattal's job. From January to June, Fattal traveled overseas as a teaching assistant with the International Honors Program, visiting Switzerland, India, South Africa and China on a global ecology program. Fattal had been a student in the Nike air jordan XI program during college, president Joan Tiffany said. "He's a very thoughtful, caring person, soft-spoken, smart, bright. Has lots of travel experience, and is someone that I would expect to be an experienced camper," Tiffany said. Meckfessel, a University of Washington graduate student, has traveled widely and was studying Arabic. He is the author of a book about the Balkans called "Suffled How It Gush: A North American Anarchist in the Balkans." The title is derived from Nike Air Force 180the slogan of an Albanian mineral water company. His grandmother, Irene Meckfessel described her grandson as "very much interested in people and languages."
