Landmark mosque in Aleppo burned in fighting
BEIRUT (AP) ? Syrian President Bashar Assad ordered on Monday immediate repairs to a historic mosque in the city of Aleppo after fierce fighting between rebels and regime forces set parts of the compound on fire over the weekend.
Government troops had been holed up inside the 13th century Umayyad mosque, a UNESCO World Heritage site, in downtown Aleppo for several months before rebels fighting to topple Assad launched a push to liberate it this week.
Activist Mohammad al-Hassan said the army had been using the mosque as a base because of its strategic location in the center of the old city of Aleppo. Rebels and activists have complained that soldiers and pro-government militiamen wrote offensive graffiti on its walls and drank alcohol inside.
But the regime and the rebels are now trading accusations over who is responsible for the fire at the mosque compound adjacent to Aleppo's medieval citadel. Videos posted by activists online show a large fire and black smoke raging inside the mosque on Saturday, and later, its blackened, pockmarked walls. Debris is strewn on the floors where worshippers once prayed on green and gold carpeting.
"Assad's thugs set the mosque on fire as a punishment for being defeated by the Free Syrian Army," the caption on the video read, referring to the rebels fighting to topple Assad. The government on Monday said it pushed back the rebels from the mosque after the weekend fighting, though activists are giving conflicting reports on who controls it.
In another video, a rebel inside the mosque holds up a torn copy of the Muslim holy book, or Quran, saying: "These are our Qurans, this is our religion, our history."
The mosque is the latest victim of the violence plaguing Syria.
On Sept. 29, a fire caused by the fighting swept through Aleppo's covered market, burning more than 500 shops in the narrow, vaulted passageways.
Some of the country's most significant historical sites have been turned into bases for soldiers and rebels, including historic citadels and Turkish bath houses.
In a possible effort to contain the fallout from the damage at the mosque, Assad issued a presidential decree to form a committee to repair the mosque by the end of 2013.
Aleppo has been the scene of intense fighting, particularly since rebels launched a new offensive more than two weeks ago to try to dislodge regime troops. The fighting has devastated large areas of the city of 3 million, Syria's former business capital.
Also on Monday, Turkey forced a plane from Armenia bound for Syria to land to search the cargo for weapons. Foreign ministry spokesman Selcuk Unal said Turkey granted the plane carrying aid for Aleppo permission to fly over its airspace only on condition it can search its cargo for possible military equipment.
After the search, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said the plane would be allowed to continue on to Syria. He said the cargo contained humanitarian aid as stated.
Turkey forced a Syrian passenger plane flying from Moscow to Damascus to land in Ankara last week. Turkey said the Syrian Air plane was carrying military gear while Russia said that the equipment was spare parts for radar systems.
Syria and Turkey barred each other's aircraft from flying over their territory over the weekend after a week of exchanging fire across their volatile border.

Waterford Graded district budget nears completion
By Dave Fidlin
Correspondent
As a prelude to the district?s upcoming annual meeting, members of the Waterford Graded School Board?s Personnel, Finance and Negotiations Committee this week discussed the proposed 2012-13 budget and property tax levy.
Superintendent Chris Joch presented the committee with the most up-to-date details of the $17.5 million budget, which could still be refined in the next week.
Plans call for increasing the property tax levy ? one of the district?s largest sources of income ? by 2 percent. In the past three years, the district has maintained a status-quo approach by not raising the levy.
Overall, Joch said he anticipates a 2.6 percent increase in revenue in Fund 10 ? the district?s general operating budget that funds most of the daily costs that keep all four schools functioning throughout the year.
During this year?s budget-building process, Joch and other district administrators have anticipated a rise in expenses by an estimated 4.1 percent.
?The increase ? is due to special education programming costs, health reimbursement start-up costs, debt service obligations and unemployment insurance costs,? Joch said.
Like all districts across the state, Waterford Graded is awaiting word on the specific amount of state aid, which is another significant source of income for the district.
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction plans to notify districts of the specific award amount by next Monday, Oct. 15.
Depending upon the amount, Waterford Graded officials could make slight modifications to the budget.
Officials do anticipate a drop in state aid because of the declining enrollment trends in recent years. But Joch pointed to a number of cost-cutting measures that have helped shore up some of the losses, including staff reductions and reviewing a number of contracts, including one for busing.
Moving forward, Joch said strides will have to be taken to find ways of generating income beyond the levy and state assistance.
The issue is to be discussed at the annual meeting scheduled at 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 22, in the Evergreen Elementary School cafeteria, 817 W. Main St.
?We have to find other alternate sources of revenue, other than property taxes and state aid,? he said.
There have been changes to the district?s lunch program, for instance, to ensure it is at a break-even point. Revenue from lunches cannot fund other district programs, but dollars elsewhere in the overall budget are needed if the program is not self-sufficient.
The district?s presentation at the upcoming annual meeting will delve into a number of topics, including an analysis of what the mill rate and cost per pupil is in Waterford Graded, compared to other districts.

NewsDaily: Finance leaders back EU, U.S. to-do list to shield growth
Finance leaders back EU, U.S. to-do list to shield growth
By Anna Yukhananov
and Tetsushi KajimotoPosted 2012/10/13 at 9:35 am EDT
TOKYO, Oct. 13, 2012 (Reuters) ? World finance leaders on Saturday endorsed a checklist of policy reforms aimed at pressuring Europe and the United States to tackle debt troubles that threaten to choke off global growth.
(L-R) Poland's Central Bank Governor Marek Belka, International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde and World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim attend their joint news conference at the annual meetings of the IMF and the World Bank Group in Tokyo October 13, 2012. REUTERS/Kim Kyung-Hoon (
To hold each others' feet to the fire, the nations -- meeting under the aegis of the International Monetary Fund -- agreed to review progress in six months.
Their 10-page agenda, however, largely summarized previously planned steps, such as deploying a new European Central Bank bond-buying program and avoiding the U.S. "fiscal cliff" of spending cuts and tax hikes set to take hold early next year.
The checklist and checkup were an acknowledgement of frustration within the IMF and among many emerging market economies over a sluggish and piecemeal policy response to the major risks facing the world economy.
IMF chief Christine Lagarde said nations had narrowed their differences over how to implement policy, seeking to downplay disagreements between the Fund and Germany over how quickly debt-laden countries such as Greece should cut budgets.
"There was no objection to the recommendation that we gave to the membership, which was A-C-T," Lagarde said, spelling out the word letter by letter.
"We might not always agree on everything, but I think there is a general consensus that collective action is going to produce results," she told reporters.
In a communique released after two days of talks, IMF members warned that global economic growth was decelerating and that substantial uncertainties and risks remained.
But the IMF's governing panel, representing the 188 member countries, praised steps that had already been taken, particularly in Europe, to make the world financial system safer, even if they had not yet gone far enough.
"Members all agreed that we are in a better position today than we were six months ago," said Singapore Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, the chairman of the committee.
Spain's economy minister, Luis de Guindos, said he felt the mood toward his country lifting too. Spain is under pressure to seek a bailout as it struggles to cope with high government debt and the cost of recapitalizing its banks.
"The atmosphere, from International Monetary Fund policymakers or from the private sector, is much more positive than it was before the summer," de Guindos said.
Euro zone sources said they expected Spain to seek financial aid from the euro zone in November.
"Were moving, we're taking steps, we're preparing it," said a senior official who is directly involved in talks about potential Spanish aid. "Things will crystallize in November."
Still, finance leaders leave Tokyo with little concrete evidence fresh progress was being made in the world's debt trouble spots, hamstrung by political considerations.
U.S. presidential elections and a once-a-decade leadership change in China are just weeks away. The euro area has to navigate decisions through several national governments, which Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov likened to maneuvering a supertanker with 17 captains at the helm.
"If you decide to turn it in one direction, it happens very slowly," he said.
EMERGING STRAINS
Reports from the IMF this week downgraded global economic growth forecasts for the second time since April and warned of the need for action in advanced economies to treat a debt hangover that stems in part from earlier efforts to quell the global financial crisis.
To replenish its crisis-fighting war chest, the IMF has taken in $461 billion in contributions from member countries, with Algeria and Brunei the newest members of the donor group, Lagarde said. The United States is among the notable absences from the list of contributors.
Frustration over what many nations see as plodding progress in Europe and in Washington spilled into public view during the meetings.
"Asia alone can't carry the global economy," said Australian Treasurer Wayne Swan. "It is time for the other players to get off the benches and start to pull their weight on global economic growth again."
Emerging markets, which have been caught in the downdraft created by weak economies in Europe and the United States, were disappointed that the IMF missed its target for enacting voting reforms that would make China the third most influential country within the lending institution.
Lagarde said there were "one or two countries" that had not finalized the reforms, which were agreed in 2010, a thinly veiled reference to the United States. The Obama administration does not want to seek congressional approval for more IMF funding before the November presidential election.
European leaders argued this week they had taken big strides toward building a stronger fiscal and banking union, and they earned at least some recognition from the rest of the world.
"This broad framework offers a more promising strategy for addressing the crisis," U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said. "However, what is important is how it will be applied."
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble pointed out that euro zone decision-making does take time given the number of national governments involved.
"If we are not fast enough for markets, sorry, but markets have to wait," he said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? In thousands of Earth orbits, the space shuttle Endeavour traveled 123 million miles. But the last few miles of its final journey are proving hard to get through.
Endeavour's 12-mile crawl across Los Angeles to the California Science Museum hit repeated delays Saturday and Sunday, leaving expectant crowds along city streets and at the destination slowly dwindling.
Officials estimated the shuttle, originally expected to finish the trip early Saturday evening, would not arrive at the museum until early Sunday afternoon.
At times it has seemed the only thing moving was the shuttle's fast-changing ETA.
Saturday started off promising, with Endeavour 90 minutes ahead of schedule. But accumulated hurdles and hiccups caused it to run hours behind at day's end. The problems included longer than expected maintenance of the rig carrying the shuttle and physical obstacles within the shuttle's wingspan including light posts, building edges, and most of all trees.
In a scene that repeated itself many times, a small tree on the narrowest section of the move brought the procession to a stop, forcing crews to find creative ways to dip a wing under or raise it over the tree without having to cut it down.
Some 400 trees had been removed to avoid such situations, but officials said most of the trees that gave them trouble could not be cut down because they were old or treasured for other reasons, including some planted in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.
The crowd had its problems too. Despite temperatures in the mid-70s, several dozen people were treated for heat-related injuries after a long day in the sun, according to fire officials.
But it was a happy, peaceful crowd, with firefighters having only to respond to a sheared hydrant and a small rubbish fire, and no reports of any arrests.
And despite the late problems the mood for most of the day was festive.
At every turn of Endeavour's stop-and-go commute through urban streets, a constellation of spectators trailed along as the space shuttle ploddingly nosed past stores, schools, churches and front yards as it inched through working-class streets of southern Los Angeles.
Along the 12-mile course, thousands marveled at the engineering. Some rooted for Endeavour when it appeared it might clip a light post.
"This is great for the city as a whole. It makes us proud," said Dean Martinez, a project director for a nonprofit who began waiting before dawn to get a glimpse of Endeavour.
Unlike other high-profile events like the Academy Awards or the Rose Parade, the procession was centered in some of the area's most economically downtrodden and troubled places. The shuttle passed several gritty areas and shuttered businesses, and rolled down many streets that were aflame two decades earlier during the 1992 riots brought on by the verdict in the Rodney King case.
"Having a shuttle come through this area of high poverty, it can only be a good thing" for the community," said Damian Pipkins, a volunteer at Eso Won Books.
Endeavour hit the pavement before dawn Friday, trundling out of the Los Angeles International Airport on a remote-controlled 160-wheel carrier past diamond-shaped "Shuttle Xing" signs. When it reached a freeway overpass that night, it was towed by a truck.
The shuttle made a late-morning pit stop Saturday at the Forum ? former home of the Los Angeles Lakers ? where it was greeted in the arena's parking lot by a throng of cheering spectators. It was late to its second public celebration that included a dance performance choreographed by Debbie Allen.
As it wound through South Los Angeles, residents welcomed its presence. Before the move, some lamented over the loss of shade as trees were chopped down.
Others thought it was a decent trade.
"If you have to go through a little bit of pain to have something nice for the community, then it's worth it," said Pamela Tucker, who lives a block away from Crenshaw Boulevard in Los Angeles.
Endeavour may have circled the globe nearly 4,700 times, but its roots are grounded in California. Its main engines were fabricated in the San Fernando Valley. The heat tiles were invented in Silicon Valley. Its "fly-by-wire" technology was developed in the Los Angeles suburb of Downey.
It's no longer shiny and sleek, like when it first rolled off the assembly line in the Mojave Desert in 1991 to replace the lost Challenger. As it cruised block-by-block, it's hard to miss what 123 million miles in space and two dozen re-entries can do to the exterior.
Shuffling Endeavour through city streets was a laborious undertaking ? nearly a year in the making. It could not be taken apart without damaging the delicate tiles. Airlifting it was out of the question. So was driving on freeways since it was too massive to fit through underpasses.
There were consequences. Several hundred Inglewood residents suffered hours-long outages when power lines were temporarily snipped. Some businesses lost customers because of street and sidewalk closures.
Such a move is not cheap. The cross-town transport was estimated at $10 million, to be paid for by the science center and private donations.

Mirage Restaurant | Riyadh Eats Restaurant Review Guide
Takhasussi Street, Riyadh??
Info & mapWrite a Review
Tel: 01 4834127???
If there?s one Chinese restaurant in Riyadh hailed as the best, it would be Mirage Restaurant. And we?re not just talking about the food here, its interiors is a spectacle in its own. Huge aquariums filled with colorful fishes greet you, lighted corners and waiting areas, and oriental touches in decors here and there. And did I mention a pond in the middle of the restaurant? Yes, Mirage propels diners into a phantasm of pomp and pageantry.
A meal in Mirage starts with the crisp, savory crackers served with a simple pickled salad and sauces. The menu is an extensive list of Chinese dishes punctuated with some Indian and Japanese cuisine. We ordered the dumplings filled with meat. It arrived in a traditional steamer; its wrapper sensitive to prodding and its content hot and flavorful. The rolls we ordered were served in glass platters. The Rainbow Roll with its torched fish toppings and the Hiroshima Roll surrounded with a crispy coat didn?t disappoint. They?re my favorite treats in our table. Oh, and the shrimp and cheese roll too. It has the right crunch. The paella, mixed noodles, and fried rice were glistening with too much oil. The yellowish, somber lighting in our section highlighted that fact and I had to refrain from getting too many. A little sampling of the three proved they were tasty and flavorful but next time, I?m just getting the simple steamed rice to complement the savory black mushroom beef, which was full-flavored.
The crab thermidor was creamy but delightful to the palate. Though it?s filled with flavor and other ingredients as well, it?s a break from the usual seafood viands in soy sauce and oyster sauce. It?s also served in crab shells? cute! A tower of iced tea nicely rounded up our meal. It?s not too sweet, not too sour. Very adequate to wash down all the sodium we ate. Haha.
Sometimes, the lighting, or the lack thereof, is a nuisance to eating. It was too dim. But others like the ambiance of the whole place. We like the aquariums and ponds which serve as a distraction for the kids. Service is efficient and fast; our waiters friendly and helpful in determining what goes in on one dish and so on. The prices are affordable and the portions are good for sharing. This is the second time we ate in Mirage and we still liked it. Serving good food and displaying interesting interiors, Mirage is not an illusion. It?s here to stay.
