2006 World Cup scandal inquiry to cost 3.5 mn euros
North Korea tested a nuclear weapon in October. And Iran moved forward with plans to bring its first nuclear center into operation by the end of next year. But deep divisions prevented Congress from approving legislation. Supporters of rights for immigrants held several demonstrations. Also in Washington, several congressmen from the Republican Party were involved in cases of wrongdoing.
One was former House majority leader Tom DeLay who resigned after being charged with campaign finance crimes. Another was former representative Mark Foley. He resigned after he was found to have sent sexual messages to male students working for Congress.
He is currently awaiting trial. The fourth murder happened on Dec. No arrest has yet been made in the case. David Murphy was the brother of Greg Murphy, who was indicted in 2000 for the murder of an 8-year-old boy in Del Ray. Greg Murphy has been found incompetent to stand trial, and police suspect that a David Murphy may have been targeted. On Dec. Sims, 22, was shot to death in the 800 block of Montgomery Street. He was transported to the Inova Alexandria Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. There is no suspect description, and police have yet to determine a motive for the murder. City Helps Katrina Victims In the days after the Hurricane Katrina, the City of Alexandria sent firemen, police officers and city workers to assist in the rescue and recovery operation. Now, months after the initial devastation, the city still has several employees working in the Gulf Cost region. A team of eight police officers traveled to Picayune, Miss. Two teams of 23 firefighters traveled to Hancock County, Miss. The New Orleans Emergency Management Center has several residents helping operations run smoothly, including two firefighters, two Information Technology professionals and one Parks and Recreation employee. In November, City Councilman Ludwig Gaines presented a proclamation honoring those employees who helped during the crisis.
He is named as Tom Stephens, a 37-year-old Tesco supermarket worker. Almost 12 million viewers watch her exit and made it the most-watched show this Christmas.
Commissioner Terence Cole recommended a task force be established to look into possible charges against several former AWB executives. The Stern report on global warming released in the UK in October put the effect of climate change in economic terms, making governments around the world stand up and take notice. The nuclear energy debate intensified after a report by Dr Ziggy Switkowski recommended a rethink on uranium mining and alternative energy industries. Scientists rejoiced as Federal Parliament passed a controversial Bill lifting the ban on stem cell research. New industrial relations laws took hold in March, as unions joined the Federal Opposition and state governments in a vow to fight implementing the legislation. As Prime Minister John Howard celebrated 10 years in office in March, he disappointed Treasurer Peter Costello who said the Prime Minister promised him 12 years ago to hand over the leadership crown to him before two terms were up. Business In the second-biggest share offer in Australian history behind the T2 sale seven years ago, the Federal Government finally gave the green light for the third sell-off of Telstra shares. T3 shares began trading on the Australian Stock Exchange in November. The Government parked the remaining 17 per cent of Telstra stock into the Future Fund to sell down over time. Many Australians felt the pinch of three interest rate rises during this year, with the final Reserve Bank decision for 2006 setting the financial climate at 6. Farewells Australia reeled with shock as it lost two icons in the same week in September - conservationist and self-proclaimed "wildlife warrior" Steve Irwin and motor racing legend "king of the mountain" Peter Brock. Celebrities, friends and family mourned the death of actress Belinda Emmett , wife of entertainer Rove McManus, who lost her long battle against cancer in November. Courage Australians marvelled at the incredible survival of two miners, Todd Russell and Brant Webb, trapped for 14 days in May in a steel cage after a mine collapse in Beaconsfield in northern Tasmania.

But there were great stories of courage and compassion as Australians rose to the call to help as natural disasters ravaged neighbouring countries. As the conflict in Iraq continued, ousted dictator Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death after being found guilty of crimes against humanity. He was executed by hanging on December 30. The war itself spiralled into a quagmire teetering on the brink of civil war. A damning report called for the US to revise its troop strategy in Iraq and address the "grave and deteriorating" situation in the country.
Australia recorded its first death in the Iraq conflict after soldier Private Jake Kovco died in an accidental shooting. His grieving family also expressed their disbelief and outrage after an inquiry found Pte Kovco was responsible for his own death. It was a year where conflict continued to plague the Middle East , which reached a new boiling point as Lebanese and Israeli tensions exploded in July. Hundreds of Australians were urgently evacuated of from the region.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict continued to rumble. It was exacerbated by Hamas winning control of the Palestinian Parliament in February. Subsequent factional violence among the Palestinians themselves intensified the crisis in the region. Iran came under further criticism over its nuclear energy stance and also together with Syria, came under fire for its backing of Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The Freshfields report outlined a money trail linking Beckenbauer, former Adidas chief Robert Louis-Dreyfus and Qatar, whose Mohammed bin Hammam has since been banned from football for life over corruption.
Beckenbauer, 70, captained and coached Germany to the 1974 and 1990 World Cup titles respectively and was head of the organising committee for the 2006 finals. He has repeatedly denied both that any votes were bought and that he is guilty of any wrongdoing.

Дорожная дисциплина в стране намного хуже чем в Америке, и особенно опасна манера водителей обгонять. Начинать обгон без соответствующего сигнала слишком опасно, и у водителей наблюдается настолько же рискованная тенденция вклиниваться в ряд после обгона. Однако, пожалуй, самой распространенной формой нарушения явилось нежелание водителей частных автомобилей сворачивать на внутреннюю полосу движения, если имеется такая возможность. Сэр Джон сказал, что слишком многие вынуждены оставаться на средней или даже на внешней полосе, несмотря на состояние дорожного движения, следствием чего является нетерпение водителей, намеревающихся обогнать и пытающихся встать слишком близко вслед впереди стоящему транспортному средству, тем самым увеличивая вероятность аварии. Конференция продолжается. А теперь о переговорах стран Общего рынка. Мистер Джеффри Риппон, ответственный за проведение переговоров, прошлой ночью вылетел в Брюссель. Предполагается, что целью его поездки является попытка уменьшить разногласия между нашей страной и Европейским Экономическим Сообществом по поводу доли Британии в бюджете Сообщества.
Появились признаки того, что некоторые европейские лидеры едва ли принимают нынешнее предложение Британии всерьез, и в Уайтхолле осознают то, что главная задача мистера Риппона в настоящий момент — сделать ясным для Шестерки, что в самой стране предложение считают разумным и реалистичным. Вопрос о присоединении к Странам Общего Рынка также был затронут сегодня официальными лицами Национального Союза Фермеров во время обсуждения брошюры, изданной Штаб-квартирой консервативной партии. В брошюре утверждается, что если Британия присоединиться к Общему рынку, то в общем и целом положение фермеров улучшится. Однако, Национальный Союз Фермеров указывает на то, что в то время, как фермеры в Европе за некоторые продукты, такие как ячмень, пшеница, говядина и сахар, получают больше, им платят меньше за молоко и поросят. Вдобавок, заявляет Союз, в брошюре не упоминаются продукты садоводства, которые составляют важную часть Британского сельского хозяйства, и в случае присоединения к Общему рынку, ему будет нанесет большой урон.
The year at the resortsIn October, Vail Resorts reported a record year in terms of revenue as well as skier visits, and freshman CEO Rob Katz credited Breckenridge as being a top performer within the company. VR realized a 5. And as always, the race to be the first resort to open was notable again this year. Perennial Opening Day race winner Loveland Ski Area could only sit idly by on the morning of October 12, as friendly competitor Arapahoe Basin turned its lifts a full nine days earlier than it ever had. It perhaps was appropriate this year, as The Legend celebrates its 60th year of operation this season. Well, in the case of Copper Mountain resident Rainer Hertrich — the only human in recorded history to complete such a streak — he found a five-dollar bill. On the county and municipal level, programs were established to enable fire mitigation and fire prevention planning. Homeowners worked to clear dead and dying trees from their properties, and a widespread Community Wildfire Protection Plan took hold across the county. But the more we know about the pine beetle epidemic, the more nuance it seems is needed in the debate. While beetle-killed trees grow in numbers, a new argument about a consequent rise in fire danger arose. Water, or lack thereof, was less of an issue this year, as the hydrological year between 2005 and 2006 was one of the wettest on record. And on June 5, Dillon Reservoir filled to capacity, and excess water spilled through the glory hole for the second year in a row. In other environmental news this year, a surge of run-off from an abandoned mine above Breckenridge threatened a number of species in April.
Polynesian language Wikipedias grew most, while the rest advanced slowly. No Wikipedia reached 500 articles. One year ago, 3 had reached 100 articles. The total article count was 918. There is still no Wikipedia in any Australian aboriginal language. East Asia competes with Europe and America as a developed Wikipedia area. Chinese passed 100,000 articles. One year ago, the total article count was 238,190. European languages still dominate the Wikipedia system. English has 1,560,143 articles, more than the total number of articles for Wikipedias in languages of all continents outside of Europe. English passed the milestones of 1 million and later 1,5 million articles in 2006, fortifying the position of the English Wikipedia as the greatest one-language encyclopedia that ever existed. But historically, the relative weight of the English Wikipedia is going down. The percentage of english Wikipedia articles seems to be roughly similar to the percentage of native english speakers on the Internet. One year ago they had 2,747,489 articles.

Jung Chang I had brought eight international writers together under the heading Migrations of the Mind to explore the challenges of taking stories between cultures. Each writer exemplified the problems of a world increasingly built out of small and mobile communities. Yet as soon as they were put together on stage at the ICA, most of the participants fiercely refused to define themselves either culturally or nationally. Whether Chinese or Turkish, Moroccan or Northern Irish, they saw themselves purely as writers, compelled to tell certain stories not because they were representatives of their communities, but because they were compelled to write, full stop. One by one they queued up to challenge the premise of my event — but in doing so they brought out a quite different, and far more interesting problem. When pressed to say where her roots are, she recalled the image in the Koran of a tree that has its roots not in the earth but in the air.
