is deteriorating rather than getting better.”Hundreds of lorries from all over Europe yesterday lined the roads around the main border crossings into France.A Foreign Office spokesman estimated that 80 per cent of Spain’s 200,000 truckers had joined the strike, demanding cheaper fuel and better working conditions.He added that there had been reports of attacks on cars with foreign plates.”Our consuls are driving around trying to see if British drivers are all right – they can help those running out of money and take up grievances with the authorities,” he said.Jimmy Gillespie, a lorry-driver from Penrith, Cumbria, spent 16 hours at the border crossing from France at La Jonquera.Speaking from Madrid yesterday he said: “I was threatened with being knifed if I didn’t get out of my cab. I’ve seen other drivers getting their tyres slashed and windscreens put in.”One British driver ran through a blockade, sending the Spaniards scattering from the road.”But then the police pulled him over and he got his cab smashed up by a mob of Spaniards.”In November, dozens of Britons were blockaded by French truckers, and their Greek counterparts have since brought chaos to roads and ferries.. A pregnant IRA suspect being held in prison pending extradition to Germany has been told she must give birth in handcuffs and cannot care for her baby in prison. Roisin McAliskey, 25, daughter of the former nationalist MP Bernadette McAliskey, is being treated as a category A exceptional-risk prisoner at Holloway jail in London, even though she is more than six-months pregnant and has no record of violence.
Her treatment is causing growing concern among MPs and civil rights groups and is being watched closely by Amnesty International, which has issued an “urgent action bulletin” claiming that the conditions of her detention “may amount to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment”.Ms McAliskey is wanted for questioning by the German authorities over a mortar-bomb attack on the British Army base at Osnabruck last June, although she says she has never been to Germany. An extradition hearing in London today is expected to rubber stamp the handover to the Germans, but lengthy legal appeals will result in her still being in Holloway when her child is born.The Home Office said last week that it had received no request from Ms McAliskey to care for her child in prison. However, she has been told that, as a category A prisoner, she may not use the prison’s babycare facilities while other inmates are there, ruling out the possibility of looking after her own baby.Her mother told The Independent that she was visited by a senior prison official last week and told that she would have to “face up to some realities” over the birth of the child.”He was as humane as he could be, but he said that she would have to make some practical adjustments as a category A prisoner,” Mrs McAliskey said. “He said because the Home Office had designated her an exceptional escape risk, she would have to be handcuffed during the birth.”He said she will be handcuffed to a `birthing partner’ which I sincerely hope will be a female rather than male prison officer.

She was told that because of her designation, she could not mix with other prisoners and so couldn’t use the mother-and-baby unit.”Having the baby taken away is something she refuses to contemplate I’m completely horrified by the prospect. She has never been in trouble in her life and all of a sudden they’re putting her through this nightmare.”If the baby is taken away, Mrs McAliskey said it would be cared for by its father, Sean McCotter, the brother of Liam McCotter, a convicted IRA terrorist. But she added: “I’m afraid he would have trouble breast-feeding it.”The extradition warrant for Ms McAliskey says she is suspected of attempted murder and illegally handling explosives. She was detained at the request of German anti-terrorist officers, who have been hunting at least five members of the IRA cell which fired three home-made mortars from the back of a van.One of the mortar bombs exploded near fuel tanks at the base, which is the headquarters of 4 Armoured Brigade, but no one was hurt.Within days police had discovered the terrorists’ hideout and named former Royal Engineer Michael Dickson, 31, who had served in Germany, as a suspect They said they believed the gang had fled back to Ireland. It is understood that the Germans intend to allege that Ms McAliskey posed as Mr Dickson’s wife.Labour MP Kevin McNamara, the party’s former spokesman on Northern Ireland, has visited Ms McAliskey in prison and said that he is concerned about the designation of a six-month pregnant woman, whose health has been questioned by doctors, as a high-risk prisoner. He has tabled questions in the Commons of Michael Howard, the Home Secretary, demanding information about her treatment.”I believe this is quite outrageous,” he said.

“I thought we had heard the last of women being chained up in hospital. It is her designation that will result in the baby being taken away because, as Category A, she can’t mix with the other mothers.”To suggest she would try to escape is ridiculous. The physical endurance required for a heavily pregnant and ill woman to escape from a prison would be quite extraordinary.”Amnesty’s urgent-action bulletin said: “The outcome of this possible decision to separate the mother and baby would amount to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and would damage permanently the mother-child bonding relationship.”. The RAF is not ready for “even a minor combat role”, and safety has been put at risk because of financial cutbacks and a shortages of spares, according to officers who have recently left the service.

An RAF technician will say on a television programme, which is to be screened tonight, that he had been told not to tell aircrews that certain wires in Tornados and Harriers might catch fire because of extra wear and tear.
The crews were not to be told about the wiring, called Kapton, he said, because “if there is a war, or even if there is not a war, and they know this cable may ignite, they will not go on; they will not be in the aircraft”. The US Air Force decided to move away from using Kapton as long ago as 1988.The Independent recently reported concern about the RAF’s ability to keep its Nimrod maritime patrol aircraft in the air. The new evidence about front line strike aircraft is revealed in an episode of the Channel 4 Dispatches programme to be screened tonight.The programme cites a confidential report by Air Chief Marshal Sir William Wratten warning that cuts in manpower were “biting deeply” into the RAF’s ability to fulfil its operational tasks. In interviews, senior officers warn of low morale and that aircraft are having to be cannibalised to keep a few flying.Air Vice Marshal Boz Robinson, a former station commander at RAF Valley, Anglesey, who keeps in touch with the RAF as a light aircraft instructor, said: “The mood throughout the whole of the Air Force is `What on earth is happening to us? We were a perfectly good air force. Why does all this have to happen?’”Group Captain Neil Buckland, a senior RAF planner in the MoD until last year, said the RAF did not have the spares it needed to keep the planes it has flying and was forced to “cannibalise” them instead.Flight Lieutenant James Archer, a Tornado pilot at RAF Leuchars, Fife, until last year said: “When I joined 43 Squadron at Leuchars, we probably had eight aeroplanes at the start of the day that were serviceable.

Very quickly after that, sort of `93, `94, we were getting down to very bad situations. We were regularly seeing a good day being six aircraft and a bad day being one”.The most damning comment is from former Tornado pilot Squadron Leader Ed Smith. He said: “At the front line, true effectiveness is being reduced We are not ready for even a minor combat role”.. The spread of lawless, inner-city ghettos would be threatened by the re-election of the Tories for a fifth term, shadow Chancellor Gordon Brown will warn today. In a speech concentrating on the positive action Labour would take to get people back into work, and reform the welfare state, Mr Brown will spell out the downside dangers of another election victory for John Major.
Against a background of yesterday’s further fall in unemployment, he will argue that the figures disguise the fact that one-fifth of all non- pensioner households have no one in work – and that the Tories propose no action to tackle that problem.”The danger is that the re-election of the Tories would risk the creation of a fifth-term underclass that would take us down the road of America, with no-work and no-go inner city areas plagued by lawlessness,” Mr Brown will say.The warning echoes similar predictions from senior Tories, including the Deputy Prime Minister Michael Heseltine, who wrote 10 years ago in his book, Where There’s a Will: “Against a background of high unemployment, the invitation to crime becomes more appealing.

NEW YORK–(Business Wire)–Fitch Ratings has undertaken a preliminary review of 49 U.S.

The federation claims that 74 per cent of business software loaded on home computers is pirated from friends or stolen from the office. Experts estimate such thefts cost computer companies up to pounds 100m a year.
One in five new computers is bought by SoHo -Small Office, Home Office – users. The majority of these are people in jobs where computers allow them to work at home or on laptops while on the move.Although the computers they buy come pre-loaded with basic software, the majority of them supplement this with software copied from work or friends “without regard to licence restrictions”, according to Fast.The survey, the first to look at the burgeoning SoHo market, found that 81 per cent of people who took home copies of software from their workplace had no fear of being caught.Some 76 per cent said they knew what they were doing was illegal but, of those, 63 per cent did it because they thought software was too expensive to buy.Software companies have, to a degree, accepted that some copying is inevitable Many licences on business software include an “80/20″ rule. Under this an individual who uses software installed on a computer at work for 80 per cent of the time is allowed to make one copy for personal use on a laptop or home machine.According to experts, most users aren’t aware of this and make pirate copies of software regardless.

Increasingly the majority of computer users take office software home “in brown paper bags” and then allow friends or relatives to copy it.Fast says it has to educate people to the idea that software piracy is a crime. This is difficult because software companies are widely perceived as gangs of computer whizkids who become millionaires overnight.Bill Gates, chief executiveof Microsoft, is the wealthiest man in the US, worth pounds 9bn at the age of 39. He is the most prominent of an army of youthful software millionaires who have reinforced this image. Next month his company will launch Windows 95, combining its DOS operating system and popular Windows software. The new program is expected to increase still further Microsoft’s domination of the personal computer software market.Already pirate copies of test versions of Windows 95 are widely used. Its formal launch together with a range of new application programmes – spreadsheets, word processing and so on -will almost certainly lead to large-scale illegal copying.Geoff Webster, chief executive of FAST, said: “Software theft cost the industry pounds 400m last year.”We have 100 UK-based software publishers and distributors among our members. Some 80 per cent of those are very small companies; five people or less.”They are trying to get their toe in the market by writing innovative software.”If people copy it rather than buying it that can be the end of those small firms.

We have had several small firms go under in the past few years, for a number of reasons, including piracy,” he said.FAST was set up in 1984 as the world’s first software copyright organisation. A non- profit making organisation, it is supported by the major software companies with the aim of lobbying Parliament for changes to the Copyright Act 1956.In the first three months of this year it seized illegally pirated software worth more than pounds 16m.But its biggest problem remains in the nature of computer software: it is one of relatively few expensive commodities that can be bought and then stolen or given away but still retained by the buyer.The challenge now is to persuade the huge numbers of home computer users to stop thinking that pirating software is harmless.. IT ISN’T hard to picture a member of the Campaign for Real Ale Bearded, elbow on bar, boring for England

“I find that infuriating!” snaps one member. It’s the facial hair thing that really offends, and perhaps understandably – for this particular member is one of Camra’s 45,000 women. Ten thousand of them are expected at its Great British Beer Festival in London next week.
Women, it would appear, are turning to bitter. According to Whitbread, one-quarter of all women are drinking more beer than they were five years ago.Women constitute one-third of all Camra members, and 16 per cent of draught ale drinkers. And the organiser of next week’s festival – ale’s annual Olympics – is a woman.”Drinking beer has only been a male thing since the Industrial Revolution,” says Christine Cryne, festival organiser and Camra member since 1977.

This is a point Camra is anxious to convey and it is repeated several times in the course of conversations. Socio-historical analysis is on tap.”We have gender constraints about what constitutes masculinity and femininity, which in other cultures would be meaningless,” sighs spokesman Stephen Cox “Queen Elizabeth drank beer by the bucket. It was only with the commercialisation of brewing in the 1800s, when men realised there was money in it, that it became a masculine thing. Victorian prudery finished it off for women.”Deborah James, 28, is a recent recruit to the current post- industrial revival. I am proudly informed that “she’s only been converted a couple of years and before that (hushed tones) she used to drink lager”. A prize convert indeed.”When I first started drinking I went on to that horrible medium sweet white wine.

Well, I thought, it’s men who drink beer, isn’t it?” Deborah recalls. “But I went to a beer festival and tried some beers, and that was that.” She speaks with all the fervour of the religious convert.”I know people think real ale drinkers are all train spotters in open- toed sandals That doesn’t annoy me They are small-minded and they just don’t know. I feel sorry for them.” The festival is little short of a pilgrimage – “If you haven’t worked at a beer festival, you haven’t lived.” Next week she will be serving behind one of the bars “But women aren’t just doing traditional jobs. The head of security is a woman, which is brilliant.”Past prejudices against bitter babes should not be forgotten. Ordering a pint of Old Peculier might just raise eyebrows today – 10 years ago it might well have met with a refusal.

Finally, Justin Forsett, the last Golden Bear to be taken, ended up in Seattle. An absolutely beautiful weekend for baseball in Detroit brought an average of 40,000 fans for a three-game set with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to ComericaPark to see their favorite ball club, the Detroit Tigers.An excited and optimistic crowd filed into Friday's game with the taste of victory still on its lips from the Tigers’ successful three-game sweep over the Texas Rangers earlier in the week.Simply stated, Detroit fans are simply the greatest fans to attend sporting events in Detroit. They have shown time and time again, whether winning or losing, they are still behind their respective teams, no matter what happens.The day was filled with wide-eyed children at the ballpark for the first time to mainstay season ticket holders walking and talking with pride. And let's not forget the “bleacher creatures” who share legitimate concerns about the team with total strangers who are more than eager to listen, making them the expert baseball analysts of the day. Those whose opinions always seem to be right on with what is going on at the time. Then they would answer questions about their related lessons.I was there and can honestly say I was quite giddy and felt like a little kid dreaming of playing in the big leagues all over again.I am quite sure the folks around me felt the same way as they grinned ear-to-ear and snapped pictures of players while listening intently as the coaches and players gave their time back to the fans of Detroit.Curtis Granderson (always a favorite of kids and parents) instructed the fans on hitting with the help of coach Lloyd McLlendon. Afterwards, the questions to Curtis were mostly about his health.

Curtis stated his hand felt stronger than before and it was his legs that were fatigued and his allergies were flaring up.Andy Van Slyke was tutoring the kids about base running with the help of Ryan Raburn. Ramon Santiago and coach Rafael Belliard gave instruction on fielding and all the while fans looked on in amazement and amusement.As I walked upon the very grass that most Major League star outfielders have roamed, I could not help but notice the awed look on people's faces, including my friend's (which I treated to the game) as they looked into the stands from inside the park.Jason Grilli and Chuck Hernandez showed how to grip the baseball when throwing various types of pitches.Kids were encouraged and nudged into participation by their parents.If you have never been to an on-field clinic in your home ballpark, I would highly recommend it. The memories, wonderment, and emotions of being on the field with the players and coaches come washing over you like a rip-tide, and you have to suppress the outbursts of elation for fear of embarrassment But there is no reason for that If you look around you, everyone feels the same way you do. It's an amazing atmosphere!The game proved to be a good one for Detroit as a standing ovation for newcomer Armando Galarraga greeted him as he took the mound for the Tigers.Some timely hitting for Magglio Ordonez and Placido Polanco gave the Tigers the victory 6-4.Game three reminded the Tigers just how tough this Angels ball club is with players like Torii Hunter and Vladimir Guerrero rising to the occasion all weekend.The Tiger bats were tamed by the excellent pitching of Jared Weaver, and a very solid bullpen. A quality start for Justin Verlander wasn't enough as the Tigers’ hitting was gone again for the Tiger ace.The Tigers lost the rubber-match 6-2. THE BOTTOM LINE:The Tigers need to start scoring earlier in the game to give their starting pitching the confidence they need to win ball games. The hits need to keep coming with runners in scoring position.

I think they need to sit down Sheffield and Guillen so they can heal up while Brandon Inge and Marcus Thames come in and pick up the slack while they get healthy.The Tigers are still managing to stay in the thick of things, despite their slow 2-12 start and the starting pitching will come around with the hitting.With the 1994 baseball strike and the steroid parade ruining the game for some fans, a trip to the ball park can wipe away those painful memories as we see honest and hard-working players of today fulfilling their dreams. It's a new era and a new season for players and fans alike.Baseball is alive and well in Detroit Come and see for yourself..

When you think of Egypt, what comes to mind? Probably not sports. The same can be said about NYU, where sports take a back seat compared to most colleges. So it made for an interesting experience when the Tisch Center for Sports Management, Hospitality and Tourism Scholars Program embarked on a journey to Egypt to study sports. Of the three potential destinations for the juniors in the program, Egypt was like Davidson – a long shot at best. Switzerland was set to host the 2008 European Championships and was home to the headquarters of FIFA Brazil had just earned a bid to the 2014 World Cup. The Egypt proposal was slightly more abstract: study the effect of football (soccer) on women in breaking down traditional barriers in a Muslim culture. As a member of the Scholars Program, I was initially disappointed when Egypt was chosen.
