Moscow Airport
A huge blast, reportedly triggered by a suicide bomber, hit Moscow's busiest airport Monday afternoon, killing at least 35 people and injuring over 130.
The bomb, which Russian news agencies said was equivalent to seven kilograms (15.4 pounds) of TNT, went off just after 3 p.m. in the crowded arrivals area of Domodedovo airport. Domodedovo is used as a Russia gateway by British Airways, Lufthansa, Cathay Pacific, El Al, and many airlines of former Soviet countries.
The domestic section of Domodedovo is the main arrival point for flights from Russia's troubled southern regions, including the north Cacasus.
Leonid Mlechin, an expert who contributes regularly to the official RIA-Novosti agency, says the return of terrorism to Moscow shows that Russian security forces have failed to address the lessons of past terrorist attacks.
"This is a serious failure of special services," he says. "No one can carry out such acts alone. He needs to be trained, equipped, and supported by an organized group. Our intelligence services have clearly not been able to catch these groups."
He adds: "Our society just does not recognize the seriousness of the situation in the north Caucasus. There is a knot of problems, and every year they are not dealt with they grow and become more difficult to solve."
Experts say the explosion will almost certainly be traced to Russia's volatile north Caucasus region, where political murders, bombings, and kidnappings are an almost daily occurrence.
Stability has been gradually collapsing in the mainly Muslim region, but little of the violence gets reported beyond Russian media until a terrorist attack hits a large Russian city, as last happened nearly a year ago when twin suicide bombers hit the crowded Moscow metro at morning rush hour, killing almost 40 people.
Violence has returned even to Chechnya over the past year, despite Kremlin claims that the republic has been pacified and is returning to normal under pro-Moscow strongman Ramzan Kadyrov.
"Nobody should be surprised by this attack, particularly Russian security services," says Andrei Soldatov, editor of Agentura.ru, an online journal that studies the secret services. "The [terrorists'] tactic is to step up activities in the Caucasian republics and bring it to Moscow. Terrorist activities have growing in number in the north Caucasus region," and it was only a matter of time before they struck in Russia's heartland again, he says.
Domodedovo airport, which was shut down by a massive power outage during a late December ice storm, is considered Russia's most modern airport, but is also its busiest. Many experts have warned that it lacks facilities to handle all the traffic it generates.
"Domodedovo is too crowded and has too many routes," says Mr. Soldatov. "We all remember recent problems," he says referencing a power blackout that shut the entire airport down for two days.

A 'knot' of problems in north Caucasus
A high-ranking Russian security official told the independent Interfax agency that the explosion was caused by "terrorism," possibly originating in a flight from the north Caucasus.Leonid Mlechin, an expert who contributes regularly to the official RIA-Novosti agency, says the return of terrorism to Moscow shows that Russian security forces have failed to address the lessons of past terrorist attacks.

He adds: "Our society just does not recognize the seriousness of the situation in the north Caucasus. There is a knot of problems, and every year they are not dealt with they grow and become more difficult to solve."
Medvedev cancels trip
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who postponed a planned trip to the Davos economic forum when the news hit, was quoted by news agencies as saying the perpetrators would be hunted down and punished.Experts say the explosion will almost certainly be traced to Russia's volatile north Caucasus region, where political murders, bombings, and kidnappings are an almost daily occurrence.
Stability has been gradually collapsing in the mainly Muslim region, but little of the violence gets reported beyond Russian media until a terrorist attack hits a large Russian city, as last happened nearly a year ago when twin suicide bombers hit the crowded Moscow metro at morning rush hour, killing almost 40 people.
Separatist movement has taken on an Islamist thrust
One possible suspect is Doku Umarov, the Chechen warlord who took over the mantle of separatist rebels – who fought two wars for Chechen independence from Russia – and gave it a militant Islamist ideological thrust.Violence has returned even to Chechnya over the past year, despite Kremlin claims that the republic has been pacified and is returning to normal under pro-Moscow strongman Ramzan Kadyrov.

Venus Williams Australian Open 2011
MELBOURNE — It could have been another day at the Australian Open of frivolous themes, with the focus on Venus Williams’s latest risqué tennis dress. But then Williams screamed in pain as she lost the last point of the first set, limped to her chair and hobbled slowly off the court for treatment.
It was hardly out of line to wonder whether she would bother to return with her plucky, second-round opponent Sandra Zahlavova already up a set and looking eager to run (and grunt) for hours more.
But Williams, after 17 years as a professional, has yet to retire from a Grand Slam singles match, and when she finally re-emerged from the tunnel leading to Rod Laver Arena with tape wrapped tightly around her upper right leg, her usual, impassive expression was gone, replaced by a grim look that her mother and coach, Oracene Price, said she knew well.
“She had the no-lose look, the I’m-definitely-not-losing look,” Price said afterward, shaking her big curls. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen that one, but when I saw it, I quietly knew what was going to happen.”
Making it happen would require plenty more time and grinding effort, but with Zahlavova looking disoriented and ultimately distraught, Williams painstakingly turned the match around, winning the final two sets despite obvious limitations to close out a strange-but-true 6-7 (8), 6-0, 6-4 victory.
“It was really tough, but I’m a long way from home, and it’s such a long way home; I didn’t want to go back yet,” Williams, the No. 4 seed, said on court. “I don’t know what happened. I just started going for shots, and I’m not sure she was as composed as before. You’ve got to be able to play under all kinds of circumstances — good, bad, strange, weird, bizarre, all of the above. So I was glad to come through.”
Her delight may be tempered by the knowledge that her chances of going deep in this Grand Slam tournament are now significantly compromised. The problem, according to Williams, is a hip flexor strain, specifically in the right psoas muscle, a major muscle that runs from the lower spine to the hip.
“I’m going just to try to recover for Friday and try to get ready to play and bring my best tennis no matter what,” said Williams, who will play Andrea Petkovic next.
Injuries have long limited Williams, who is now 30 years old — cutting into her playing time and forcing her to play catch-up at many a Grand Slam event. She played little after Wimbledon last year because of knee problems and arrived in Melbourne without having played an official match since the U.S. Open semifinals last September.
She frequently appeared to be struggling for breath during her grueling first set Wednesday, which was brimming with rallies punctuated by massive shrieks from both players, prompting the British player Andy Murray to send the following Twitter message while watching the match on television: “Turned it on and thought someone was giving birth.”
But on the last point of the tiebreaker, Williams stretched high for a backhand and then reached down to grab at her lower abdominal area. She was unable to give chase as her Czech opponent slapped a forehand winner to close out the set.
Williams, grimacing, took plenty of time to reach her chair, calling for the trainer along the way, and then left the court for more than 10 minutes to be evaluated and treated before returning to play on in a tournament that she — unlike her younger sister, Serena — has never won.
“I think this being a major definitely has a lot to do with me staying on the court,” Williams said. “I really haven’t retired from a match in any tournament in quite a long time. I think that’s a testament to how I feel when I step on the court. I’m there to stay.” Williams has risked further injury before, playing and losing in the 2003 Wimbledon final against Serena after aggravating a strained abdominal muscle in the semifinals.
“It’s been a long time, so I don’t remember that pain anymore,” Williams said. “In recent time that I can remember pain, I think this was one of the toughest ones for sure. But I just wanted to stay on the court and try to survive and see if I could feel better another day.”
It has been, thus far, an exceedingly frustrating tournament for the underdog. All top 16 men’s and women’s seeds advanced to the second round, and there was another great escape earlier Wednesday in the men’s tournament when the ninth-seeded Fernando Verdasco saved three match points before rallying to defeat Janko Tipsarevic.
Williams, wearing a dress with a lattice-work midriff that she said had been inspired by Alice in Wonderland, was never in that vulnerable a position on the scoreboard, but she looked every bit as vulnerable in the early stages of the second set as she moved in a gingerly fashion along the baseline and did not bother to run down some of Zahlavova’s shots to the corners. But despite that obvious advantage, Zahlavova, ranked 97th, could not manage to win a game, making unforced errors in bunches and keeping the ball to Williams’s forehand when the backhand was obviously the more difficult shot for Williams to hit.
“It was not so good for me because I start thinking, ‘Can I win or can I lose?”’ Zahlavova said.
If Williams had lost, the United States would have been without a representative in the third round after starting the tournament with 12 players in the women’s draw. Serena Williams, the champion last year, did not make the trip to Australia to defend her title because she was recovering from foot surgery, which also means that Venus will not get the chance to defend the doubles title she won with Serena last year.
But in light of the painful developments Wednesday, perhaps it is best that Venus has to worry only about the singles in Melbourne.

New Zodiac Sign Dates
New Zodiac Sign Dates, In astronomy, the zodiac is the ring of constellations that the lines of the ecliptic are the apparent paths of Sun in the celestial sphere during the year? The paths of the Moon and planets are also roughly in the ecliptic, and therefore are also within the constellations of the zodiac. In astrology, zodiac signs means those that divide the ecliptic into twelve equal zones of celestial longitude.
As such, the zodiac is a celestial coordinate system, or more precisely an ecliptic coordinate system, taking the ecliptic latitude of the origin and the position of the sun at the vernal equinox as to the origin of longitude.
It is known to have been used in Roman times, based on concepts inherited by astronomy Hellenistic astronomy Babylonian Chaldean period (mid-first millennium BC), which, in turn, derived from a old system of lists of stars along the ecliptic. [1] The construction of the zodiac is described in the Almagest of Ptolemy (2nd century AD).
The term derives from the Latin zodiac z? Diacus, which in turn comes from the Greek (Z? Kuklos Diakos), which means “circle of animals”, (Z? Dion), short for?? (Z? On) “animal”. The name is motivated by the fact that half of the classical Greek zodiac animals are represented as (in addition to two mythological hybrids).
Although the Zodiac remains the basis of the ecliptic coordinate system used in astronomy, in addition to the equatorial, the duration and the names of the twelve signs are now often associated with astrology horoscope.

Salman Taseer Killed In Open Air Shopping Center
Reporting from Islamabad, Pakistan, and Kabul, —
The governor of Pakistan's most populous province was gunned down in an upscale Islamabad marketplace Tuesday, apparently by one of his own guards, a brazen killing that threw a country already roiled by political crisis into even greater turmoil.Salman Taseer, the outspoken 56-year-old governor of Punjab province, was killed at an open-air shopping center in the capital frequented by foreigners and the Pakistani elite. He was a member of the Pakistan People's Party and an ally of President Asif Ali Zardari, the widower of Benazir Bhuto — who was herself assassinated just over three years ago.
Pakistan is considered a crucial if problematic ally of the United States, and its latest woes could have repercussions on the war in Afghanistan. The Pakistani government has been under pressure to act decisively against the Taliban and other insurgents fighting Western forces in Afghanistan who use Pakistan's borderlands as a sanctuary and staging ground.
Pakistan's Interior Minister, Rehman Malik, said Taseer's killer had confessed to killing the governor because of his opposition to Pakistan's strict blasphemy laws, which have been denounced by international human-rights groups. The laws have been under particular scrutiny of late after a Pakistani Christian woman was condemned to death for allegedly defaming Islam.
The ruling People's Party, which in recent days has been struggling to cope with the defection of a major coalition partner and keep the government afloat, was plunged into mourning. Many of its senior members likened Taseer — a popular and charismatic figure who commanded a large following on Twitter — to the assassinated Bhutto, who also ran afoul of religious extremists.
Malik said it was not known whether the killer acted on his own or in concert with others. The blasphemy policy — which Taseer had called a "black law" — is strongly supported by Islamist parties. Taseer was the target of angry protests by Islamists after he called for the pardon of the condemned woman.
Pakistan's latest political crisis erupted Sunday, when the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, or MQM, announced it was quitting the ruling coalition and going over to the opposition, a move that could bring down the government and trigger early elections. Zardari and his top associates have been courting the main opposition party, the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz, but so far without success.
Special correspondent Khan reported from Islamabad and Los Angeles Times staff writer King reported from Kabul.
