AP - Stock markets shrugged off another credit rating downgrade of Greece and eked out some modest gains Tuesday as oil prices dipped for the second day running and investors awaited another offering to banks of super-cheap long-term loans from the European Central Bank.

A survey on attitudes towards the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, ICTY, and war crime prosecutions in Serbia says that around 50 per cent of population think that Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic are not?responsible for the war crimes for which they are charged.
According to the survey conducted by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, OSCE, and the Belgrade Centre for Human Rights, 70 per cent of Serbians have negative attitudes towards the ICTY.
Survey sample included 1,407 people over the age of 16 who were questioned in face-to-face interviews conducted in September and October 2011.
?This has been one of the most serious surveys related to transitional justice conducted in the whole word,? said Ivan Jovanovic, the Head of the War Crimes Unit at the OSCE Mission to Serbia.
?Based on the results, we concluded that people generally have a negative attitude on these issues, but unfortunately they do not have much information on which they base their opinions,? he added.
Morgijana Breding, representative of the ICTY agrees that there is a lack of media coverage related to war crimes issues and that if there are any, that they are usually biased.
?Journalists are usually covering crimes when the defendant is from their country. For example, during the Gotovina trial there were no journalists from Serbia present,? said Breding adding that the ICTY started its outreach programme quite late.
Dusan Ignjatovic, Director of Serbian Government office for Cooperation with the ICTY, said that the survey shows that the Serbian public is not following enough ICTY trials, but they have a very strong negative opinion on its work.
?It is easier to believe that the ICTY is an anti Serbian court rather than that Serbs committed some serious crimes in the conflicts in 90s,? Ignatovic said.
According to the survey, 40 per cents of Serbs believe that Croats carry the greatest responsibility for the conflicts, followed by Albanians at 17 per cent, while Bosniaks come third with 10 percent.
Bruno Vekaric, Serbian Deputy Prosecutor for War Crimes said that the problem lies in the fact that war crime prosecutions are often politicised.

As you can imagine, this is a ton of work. Unlike a college professor, I don't have a T.A. to help me grade essays and homework assignments or put together lectures. It's all me. Plus, even though it's supposed to be a college experience, high school issues often get in the way of really making it a college experience. For example, when a pep rally or two-hour delay disrupts the schedule, that's simply time lost, time that I'll never get back to help my kids get ready for the exam. So the workload is huge and the pressure can feel immense.
Despite these inconveniences, I'm a huge believer in the A.P. program. First, a lot of my students don't have any family members who are college graduates; they have no idea what to expect from a college class and AP gives them an opportunity to get prepared - for free. I have no firm data to back this up, but I strongly suspect that experiencing the challenge of AP courses before actually getting to college has saved countless kids from flunking out. They know what to expect and aren't overwhelmed by the workload.
Second, A.P. has the potential to save students serious money if they study hard and do well on the end-of-course exams. For example, I entered college with 23 credits from A.P., almost an entire year's worth of courses. According to my alma mater's website, that would save a currently matriculating student (in-state, which I was) almost $14,000 for the 2011-2012 school year. That's real money, and performing well on the A.P. tests is so much more controllable than trying to get scholarships. If you study hard enough, the credit is yours - you're not competing against a zillion other people or depending on finicky foundations or individuals for money. In other words, earning college credit through A.P. is a sure-fire way to reduce your college tuition burden.
So if you have kids or just know a teenager that is thinking about how to pay for college, encourage them to consider taking A.P. classes - and encourage them to study hard. The end-of course exams are tough but fair, and committing to keeping on top of the A.P. coursework all year really does pay off. Taking A.P. classes and doing well on the A.P. tests is a little-discussed method for seriously reducing the cost of attending college - think about it!
Did you take A.P. classes? Do you know a teenager who is? How did you pay for college?

BERLIN (AP) ? Chancellor Angela Merkel apologized Thursday to the relatives of 10 people, mostly immigrants, believed to have been killed by a neo-Nazi group that eluded German authorities' detection for more than a decade.
The National Socialist Underground group ? its name a clear reference to the Nazis' full name, the National Socialists ? is suspected of killing eight people of Turkish origin and a Greek man between 2000 and 2006, as well as a policewoman in 2007.
The string of killings of small businessmen, including a florist, a tailor and fast-food stall owners ? long known as the "kebab murders" ? went unsolved for years, with authorities suspecting organized crime rather than politically motivated violence.
"The murders ... are a disgrace for our country," Merkel said during a memorial event at a Berlin concert house, attended by most of Germany's top officials and relatives of the victims. She pledged to do everything possible to clear up what happened.
Merkel acknowledged that, for a long time, few people imagined far-right terrorists could be behind the killings ? "that led instead to a search for clues in the mafia and drug scene, or even among the families of the victims."
"For years, some relatives themselves unfairly faced suspicion ? that is particularly oppressive," Merkel said. "I ask for forgiveness for that."
The neo-Nazi group's activities only came to light last November when two suspected founders, Uwe Boehnhardt and Uwe Mundlos, were found dead following an apparent murder-suicide as police closed in on them after a bank robbery, and a third alleged core member, Beate Zschaepe, turned herself in.
Police found the murdered policewoman's service weapon in a burning mobile home where the two bodies were found, then discovered a pistol used in the businessmen's killings at a burned-out apartment used by the group.
Investigators found copies of a propaganda video at the apartment, featuring pictures of the victims and a cartoon image of the Pink Panther standing next to a placard proclaiming "Germany Tour, 9th Turk Shot."
Merkel said she regularly has to view videos made by hostage-takers and the like, but "I have never yet in my work seen anything more inhuman."
Concern over far-right violence has flared periodically in Germany over the past two decades, but the country hasn't previously seen anything like the campaign of murder attributed to the National Socialist Underground.
"Reports about unscrupulous far-right perpetrators sometimes shake us, and they dominate the headlines for a few days," Merkel said. "But often enough we perceive such incidents as a side issue ? we forget quickly, much too quickly."
Thursday's event, which was followed by a minute of silence across Germany, was initiated by former President Christian Wulff. Merkel stepped in after he resigned last week in a corruption scandal.
Semiya Simsek ? the daughter of the first victim, florist Enver Simsek, who was shot in Nuremberg in 2000 ? sharply criticized how authorities initially handled the killings, and said her mother had been suspected at one point.
"For 11 years, we couldn't even be victims with a clean conscience," she said.
"There was always this load on our lives that perhaps someone from our family could be responsible for the death of my father," she added. "And there was the other suspicion too: my father a criminal, a drug dealer?"

Sparrows, blackbirds and the great tit are all birds known to sing at a higher pitch (frequency) in urban environments. It was previously believed that these birds sang at higher frequencies in order to escape the lower frequencies noises of the urban environment. Now, researchers at the University of Copenhagen and the University of Aberystwyth have discovered that besides noise, the physical structure of cities also plays a role in altering the birds' songs.
Urban birds sing differently and at a higher frequency than woodland birds in an effort to penetrate the wall of constant noise produced by traffic, machines and human activity. However, architecture also has a profound affect on their songs. The study findings have recently been published in the esteemed scientific journal PLoS One.
A new explanation
"Urban architecture is a crucial determinant of how urban birds sing". Noise amidst the urban landscape is typically composed of lower frequencies. Thus, one might jump to the conclusion that it would be smart for birds to distinguish their song by singing louder in order to drown out the competing noise. However, the recent study demonstrates that the noise explanation is incomplete, according to Professor Torben Dabelsteen of the Section for Ecology and Evolution at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Biology, one of the authors of the study.
The city's role in the song
Some researchers have never really bought into the idea that urban noise alone caused birds in the city to sing at higher frequencies. Either directly, because birds tried to sing at a higher tone and away from noise or indirectly, by the birds singing louder to drown out anthropogenic noise.
"Now, with the help of controlled sound recordings, we have shown that the higher frequencies in urban birds' songs are also transmitted across cities when there isn't any noise from traffic. This shows that the physical structure of cities must play a considerable role in the heightened frequencies," explains Torben Dabelsteen.
Structures and variations in the cityscape - houses, streets, open spaces and alleys - all serve to reflect and distort noise in differing ways, things that birds must take into account. Birds in the urban environment can easily spot one another, but must do what they can to reduce echoes from buildings and narrow streets in order to penetrate and communicate effectively.
High-pitched urban birds
Birds living beyond the urban landscape need not tweet away with full force. While the woodland's trees and abundant foliage also distort sound through reflection, they also serve to obstruct clear lines of sight. Therefore, rural birds may utilize these distortions to help judge distances and locate one another.
"City-dwellers can look forward to the lively song of birds in the coming spring, and even though a side effect of the urban birds' more powerful song is that they sing at a higher pitch, this is something that we are not typically able to hear," explains Dabelsteen.

Having children is a wonderful experience.? The love, laughter and joy never ends.? Okay, it is not all joyful.? As a matter of fact, some parts of being a parent?are rather?unpleasant.
Somebody should have told me what to expect once the baby arrived in my home.? Someone should have sat me down and said, ?Nate, I have something to tell you.? It is about having children.? There are things you MUST know prior to becoming a parent.?
If I had known all the challenges, would I still have chosen to become a parent? ?Hmm?that is a good question, for another day.
But I am here, once again to help out.? For those of you thinking of having kids, this info is for you.? Read and learn.
Newborns do not sleep alone.
Newborns like warmth.? They like comfort.? They like being very close to their parents.? As a matter of fact, what they like best is to sleep on top of their parents?all the time.? It is a myth that a newborn will sleep for hours in a crib.? Prepare yourself to be sitting with a small child on top of you, for?hours on end.
Toddlers do not like to eat.
Feeding a toddler is difficult.? The reason is their growing rate has slowed down considerably from being an infant.? They no longer are hungry all the time.? Toddlers also start to develop specific tastes for certain foods.? Agony will set in quickly if you try to feed a toddler, who does not want to eat.
Two year olds are very emotional.
We all have heard the term, ?terrible twos, but really two isn?t so bad.? You just need to keep in mind a two-year old has little control over their emotions.? One minute laughing, the next lying in the middle of the grocery store kicking the rice bags.
Potty training will not go well.
People brag all the time how their child was potty trained in one week.? They say their child was only 18 months when they learned.? They are lying.? Potty training, the correct term is potty learning, will be difficult.? You will want you child to be potty-learned sooner than your child is ready.? This creates pressure to get the child out of diapers.? Pressure and potty learning do not go well.?? Forcing someone to do something that is supposed to happen naturally, does not work.
Four year olds are ferocious.
Parents spend too much time worrying about the terrible twos.? Two year olds take naps, forgive quickly are still little.? Four year olds are the ones to worry about.? They are strong, determined and smart.? Four year olds have tremendous stamina.? They can outlast you on any struggle.
Starting kindergarten will be the end of freedom.
Kindergarten is fun, but?you must understand your?flexible schedule?will no ?longer be flexible once your child begins elementary school.? The school calendar rules how and when your family activities will be organized.? Individual parental needs fall secondary a child?s school activities.
Laundry will become your part-time job.
I remember doing laundry once a week as a single person.? Now I do two loads a day, every day.?? Invest in a great washer? and dryer.? Always wash, fold and put away on the same day.? Otherwise clothes will stay in baskets and on couches for weeks.
Cooking will become another part-time job.
No one ever told me how much cooking I would be doing as a mother.? If they did, I would not have signed up.? I do not like to cook.? Every day, while kids are living in your home, you will need to prepare one to three meals.? It is the worst.
Kids are gross.
Children barf, poop, pee, bleed, fart, drool, ooze, burp,?and stink.? This will happen all on one day sometimes.? If you can?t handle any of these things, do not sign up for parenthood.
Children are expensive.
Children need food, clothes, medical care, housing, school supplies, and more food.? The older they get the more money it will need to keep them alive.? Saving money is easy.? Just say no to having kids.
Helpful information I hope.? Of course, as difficult as parenthood can be at times, I could not imagine my boys not being part of my life.
But if I had known all these things?? Hmm?that is question for another day.

Travel by plane includes a lengthy and fascinating history beginning in the first commercial flight in 1933 around the modern airliner, Boeing 247. This important event designed a definitive mark within the time frame of aviation but was just one of several major achievements. The next will reveal a couple of from the fascinating landmarks of aviation history that punctuated the final century.
The Zeppelin Hindenburg
The nineteen thirties revealed the so-known as airship era of aviation history. The German passenger airship LZ 129 Hindenburg was one particular illustration of the recognition of those. However, the big event surrounding this airship would be a sad one as tragedy struck throughout flight. Destined for Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Manchester Township, Nj, the Hindenburg disaster happened because the airship caught burning and crashed. Thirty-five deaths were counted within this tragic incident and obviously, confidence in airships significantly decreased. News coverage broadcast the terrible news around the world, basically getting the airship period to some sad close.
Chuck Yeager Breaks the Seem Barrier
The seem barrier was damaged by Chuck Yeager in 1947, marking another large event within the good reputation for aviation. Yeager would be a test pilot within the U . s . States Air Pressure and travelled the experimental Bell X-1 at Mach 1. The aircraft was in an altitude of 45,000 ft if this happened. The Bell X-1 is displayed within the Smithsonian Institution?s national museum for air and space. Yeager received several award with this accomplishment, such as the MacKay and Collier trophy in 1948 along with a trophy for Harmon Worldwide in 1954. The Myra, West Virginia native continued to bust through other obstacles of seem as well as altitude years later.
Boeing 747
Fast-sending from Chuck Yeager?s major accomplishment towards the seventies, lots of people recognize the Boeing 747 which is frequently known to endearingly because the ?jumbo jet? of aircraft. Its cargo transport and commercial flight role turn it into a significant a part of aviation history. This airliner, Boeing 747, made its first commercial flight from New You are able to to London in early a part of that decade. Major air carriers which use the model include British Airways, Korean Air, Japan Air carriers, and Cathay Off-shore. The Boeing 747, aside from being identifiable, is essential for the reason that it might carry this type of large load of people or cargo. Actually, it held the record for transporting probably the most people for many decades.
Aviation Is constantly on the Develop
The Zeppelin Hindenburg crisis, Chuck Yeager?s breaking from the seem barrier, and the development of the Boeing 747 jumbo jet are simply three of the numerous turning points in aviation. Although more occasions exist around the historic time frame of flight, these occasions show a few of the individual bits of the puzzle. Occasions such as these have assisted shape a brief history of aviation and provide possibilities for learning and reflection. Flight has advanced significantly and can still change and grow in a long time, which makes it a thrilling a part of technology and history!

Investing is seen by many as an arduous task?- one that is complicated, risky and best left to other people. It is often easier to avoid investing altogether, than confront it head on. A natural human reaction is to create excuses that rationalize why one has chosen to avoid an activity.
Investing at a young age is no exception: a variety of misconceptions about investing young perpetuates the idea that investing is best left to older people and experts. This article will examine several of these misconceptions that are often used as an excuse to delay or avoid investment activity.?
SEE:?Young Investors: What Are You Waiting For?
"I don't have enough money."?
While it is true that young adults are usually inundated with?debt?- from student loans, car payments and mortgages?- many can find at least a small amount of money to invest on a monthly or yearly basis. Contributing to employer-sponsored plans, such as?401(k)s, can allow a small investment to grow over time, particularly when matched by the employer. The power of compounding creates a golden opportunity for young investors, even those on a tight budget. It is important to keep in mind that investing does not have to involve huge?positions; it is possible to invest in a very small number of stock shares.
"I don't know anything about investing."?
Ignorance is not an excuse to avoid investing. Young investors have many years to study, research and develop proficiency in?investing techniques and strategies. A wealth of information is available to tech-savvy young adults, from financial and education websites, to social media pages, webinars and the many advanced trading platforms that are available for free or for a limited monthly fee.
"Investing is too risky."?
Many young adults are keenly aware of the?economic crisis and the resulting chaos that ensued. While investing can be risky, it can be managed in a way that keeps it from being?too risky, however that is defined for each individual. Young investors with a low?risk tolerance?can select more conservative portfolios, like ?blue-chip stocks?and?bonds. Investors with a higher tolerance for risk can enter more aggressive positions with higher reward potential.??
"Investing can wait till I'm older."?
Young investors have to contribute less to make more money over time than older investors. This is due to the power of?compounding. A person who starts at age 20 and invests $100 per month until age 65 (a total contribution of $54,000) will have more than $200,000 when he or she reaches age 65, assuming a 5% return. If the person delays investing until age 40, he or she will have to contribute $334 each month (a total contribution of $100,200) to arrive at the same $200,000 by age 65.???
"Investing is for old people and Wall Street types."?
While the media do portray many investors either as wizened old men or young, power-hungry Wall Street types, most investors are ordinary people,?both young and old, wealthy and not. Even though we often hear "You are never too old to?start?investing?(or saving for retirement)," the opposite is true as well: people are never too young to start investing.?
"My 401(k) should be all I need."?
Depending on?social security?and 401(k)s can be risky. It is difficult to predict?where social security will be in future years, and many investors learned the hard way in the last decade that employee-sponsored retirement plans don't always work out. Starting young and diversifying through a variety of investment vehicles is the best way to secure one's financial future.
The Bottom Line
Young adults often have so many distractions that it is difficult to set aside the time to think about investing. In addition to being busy with friends, work and hobbies, this age group is often burdened by a significant amount of debt, making investing seem like something that will have to wait. Despite these common misconceptions about investing young, those who do start studying, researching and investing young, have many advantages over those who wait, including the power of compounding and the ability to weather a certain degree of risk.

Love may have been in the air yesterday but it has been swiftly replaced with fun. Lots of fun and tech. That's because TechRadar's daily news in brief is here - the perfect antitodote to your romantic hangover.
Here are 10 stories to help you forget that nagging feeling that you got royally ripped off by the man selling you roses in the petrol station last night.
Pap-top ? Fancy having a laptop but have an irrational fear of plastic or aluminium? Then fear not, as a laptop made out of paper has been created. It's being touted as the most environmentally friendly laptop around and it is cheap too. Sounds great, if a little Blue Peter-esque for our liking. (Fastcoexist)
Erase you up ? A new app called Remove has been developed which can erase wandering people from the backgrounds of photos. Created by Scalado, it is in prototype stage at the moment so you'll still have to shout at any passer-by that unwittingly gets in your shots but it should be ready in the coming months. Now if only they developed an app that does this to real life? (GizMag)
Don't forget your toothbrush ? Cleaning your teeth just got that little bit more techy with the launch of the Beam Brush ? a toothbrush that is connected to an app. The app tells you if you have done the right amount of brushing and will log your tooth-based habits. It's the first time anything like this has been done so we are expecting the device to have a few teething troubles. Arf arf. (Gizmodo)
Cold shoulder ? The Samsung Galaxy S2 has come out top in a cold endurance test for smartphones, with the handset managing to withstand temperatures of -20?C and only conking out after -35?C. Now that's what we call cold calling. [PR]
Twitter data face-palm ? Twitter has been a touch naughty with the data it receives, admitting it will store you and your friends contact details for 18 months ? including phone numbers and emails. Twitter said it wants to be transparent about the whole thing and will change the wording of how it uploads your contacts in an upcoming app update. Tut tut. [Zdnet]
The price is not right ? Sony has admitted that it made a mistake in hiking up the price of two of Whitney Houston's albums after the singer's death. It has also apologized for any offence caused. As we are in the habit of tutting, this one deserves a big three tuts. Tut tut tut. [NY Times]
Women love Facebook ? Women are the most likely to use Facebook, while men love a bit of Foursquare. No this is not a euphemism, but a study into social networking habits of those wonderful things called human beings. [The Next Web]
RIP RNB ? SOCA has shutdown the website rnbxclusive.com for alleged copyright infringement and posted a rather nasty notice on the homepage explaining that "SOCA has the capability to monitor and investigate you, and can inform your internet service provider of these infringements". Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you. [BBC Tech]
YouTube defines funny ? If you want to know what's funny, then head over to YouTube's blog and you'll be in stitches. This is because the site is trying to understand what is perhaps the most subjective video category around ? comedy. Apparently, it's all to do with how many o's the Lols have in comments. Nope, we have no idea either. [YouTube]
Gaming ends marriages ? If you play games and are married (not many, we know) then you may want to avoid MMORPGs from now on. Not because they have the clumsiest acronym ever but because they lead to marital dissatisfaction. There is an easy way to fix this ? just marry an orc. [Wired]

JEDDAH/DUBAI (Reuters) ? A young Saudi blogger and columnist has been deported to his homeland to face trial soon after fleeing from death threats triggered by comments on the social network Twitter seen as blasphemy against the Prophet Mohammad.
Hamza Kashgari, 23, fled Saudi Arabia four days ago but was arrested by police in Malaysia en route to New Zealand. Malaysia, which has a majority Muslim population and enjoys close ties with Arab states, sent back Kashgari on Sunday.
A former columnist for the Al Bilad newspaper, Kashgari had sent a series of Twitter posts, or tweets, one week ago of an imaginary conversation with the Prophet Mohammad.
In Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter and home to Islam's two holiest sites in Mecca and Medina, such comments could be considered blasphemy and punishable by death under the kingdom's strict interpretation of Islam.
Kashgari has apologized at length for his posts, however, and a Saudi lawyer said while he faced harsh punishment, it was unlikely to be the death penalty.
Interior and foreign ministry spokesmen declined to comment on Kashgari's status, although Saudi Information Minister Abdul-Aziz Khoja responded to the incident via Twitter.
"When I read what he posted, I wept and got very angry that someone in the country of the Two Holy Mosques attacks our Prophet in a manner that does not fit a Muslim...," Khoja said.
"I have given instructions to ban him from writing for any Saudi newspaper or magazine, and there will be legal measures to guarantee that," he said.
Writing on the Prophet Mohammad's birthday, Kashgari sent three tweets of a fictional conversation with the Prophet.
Addressing the Prophet, Kashgari said he "loved the rebel in you" and that he "loved some aspects of you, hated others."
The reaction on the Internet was swift and vitriolic.
First, there was a flurry of angry comments on Twitter - estimated at more than 30,000 in 24 hours. A Facebook page, "Saudi people want punishment for Hamza Kashgari," has quickly grown to more than 20,000 members.
CALLS FOR EXECUTION
"The only choice is for Kashgari to be killed and crucified in order to be a lesson to other secularists," an online reader of al-Madina newspaper, Abu Abdulrahman, commented on the news of Kashgari's extradition on Sunday.
Malaysia's government defended on Monday its decision to extradite Kashgari. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch had called on Malaysia not to deport Kashgari.
"Don't think that Malaysia is safe for them to seek shelter here and avoid being traced. We will not allow them to use Malaysia as a transit," Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein was quoted as saying by state news agency Bernama.
Hishammuddin said Kashgari had been arrested following a request from Saudi Arabia and clarified that the operation had not involved Interpol. A Malaysian police spokesman had told Reuters on Friday that the arrest was part of an operation involving the international police agency.
"I hope this issue is not politicized on the basis of freedom and human rights," Hishammuddin said. "We received a request from Saudi Arabia and we will not protect anyone who is wanted."
A YouTube video of a tearful Saudi cleric Nasser al-Omar calling for Kashgari to be arrested and tried went viral.
Kashgari will probably face trial soon, Saudi officials told Reuters.
"Thank God that he has repented and we hope that Allah will accept it. If, God forbid, there is a trial, we ask for it to be a lenient one," said a person close to Kashgari's family.
Although Kashgari will almost certainly receive a harsh punishment, he is likely to avoid the death penalty if he formally repents in court, said Saudi lawyer Sulaiman al-Jomaii.
"His case is dependent on his repentance. If he repents (in court) then it will be as if he has not committed a crime and there is no Saudi law that details a punishment for his offense if he repents," Jomaii said.
"(This) is a struggle between moderate, true Islam and extreme Islam. Moderate Islam is tolerant. The young man (Kashgari) made a mistake, a big blunder and he must apologize," said Saudi commentator Jamal Khashoggi. "I'm sure that the state is kind and it should not come under pressure. He is only 23 years old. Young people go through these kinds of doubts."
Kashgari removed the offending Twitter comments six hours after posting them and issued a long public apology, but his family said he fled the country because he had feared for his life.
Before his arrest Kashgari said in an interview with the U.S. news website Daily Beast that he did not think he could ever go home because of the death threats, but was also defiant.
"I view my actions as part of a process toward freedom. I was demanding my right to practice the most basic human rights - freedom of expression and thought - so nothing was done in vain," Kashgari was quoted as saying. "I believe I'm just a scapegoat for a larger conflict. There are a lot of people like me in Saudi Arabia who are fighting for their rights."
Saudi Arabia is one of the most conservative states in the Arab world. There is tension over the pace of gradual political, economic and social reforms in Saudi Arabia aimed at reconciling the Islamic kingdom's conservative traditions with a young, increasingly outward looking population.
INTROSPECTIVE LONER
A graduate of the University of King Abdulaziz with a major in Islamic studies, Kashgari had left the Al Bilad newspaper five weeks before the incident due to disagreements over money and his writing.
"Hamza always liked being alone, he wasn't a social person," said a senior editor at Al Bilad. "He had a broken look in his eyes and I think that was a sign of sadness or depression. He's a poet and had a lot of philosophical ideas."
The editor said the young writer had learned the Koran by heart and always had good manners, noting that none of his columns had touched on controversial religious ideas.
Despite a tightening of media rules after the spread of popular revolts through the Arab world over the past year, Saudis are increasingly turning to online news, social networking and satellite television for information.
That has made social media an especially popular - and closely-watched - forum for exchanging views.

Having a plan is a necessity in real estate investing. Trying to make decisions on your own without a specific plan of action can lead to disastrous consequences. It is not uncommon for an investor to lose his or her investment due to making bad decisions about investments not initially included in a business plan. Getting started in real estate takes planning and paperwork that have nothing to do with making an investment. Creating a start up real estate investing business plan is one of the first steps that should be taken before properties are considered for purchase.
What a Real Estate Business Plan Should Include
The basic information that you write in a business plan will provide the foundation that you need for all future investments in real estate. No investment decisions should be made without a reason according to your business plan. You could be part of an investment group or in business alone. All of the parties involved in making real estate investment decisions should be listed in your investing business plan and what business formation will be used.?
The type of properties that you will invest in should be listed. This helps you stay on track and invest in the areas that you designate and will not cause irrational decisions if a so-called great buy on an investment not included in your business plan comes your way. Investments like rental properties and vacation homes that provide long-term rental income will help you gauge what investments will work best for your real estate ventures.
The funding sources that you will use for each investment should be documented. The use of cash, securities, IRA funds or collateral loans will determine how much money you have to start investing. By sticking to the best source of funding, you will not use your personal income to fund underperforming investments. New investors can fall victim to spending more money than what is being earned.?
Property Management and Maintenance
After a property is purchased, repairs or upgrades might be required to transform the property into ideal living space. Having a source for hiring contractors is another element that must be in your business plan. The actual management of the property is what will help you earn back your investment. From collecting monthly rent to handling tenant issues, a good property management team is one of the most important parts of a successful real estate investment.?
Additional items in a start up real estate investing business plan include:
? IRA or Investment Trust Account
? Financial Projections (Return on Investment)?
? Profit Splits Between Owners
? Taxation Plan and Filing Dates
? Future Investing Goals
? Legal Representation?
? Cash or Accrual Accounting Decisions
? Liability Insurance
? Business Liquidation Procedure
