"They are asking her to confess to offenses that she has not committed," said Nyan Win, spokesman for the Nobel peace laureates National League for Democracy (NLD), whose landslide election victory in 1990 was ignored by the generals.

China, however, continued to oppose international action. "There are problems there in Myanmar, but these problems still, we believe, are basically internal," Chinese Ambassador to the UN Wang Guangya told reporters. "No international-imposed solution can help the situation," Wang said. "We want the government there to handle this issue," he said. He is a marionette of his government, that’s right, but I hope that that asshole will get killed by some gang members in NY.

And now here is something amusing what I found via Michael Holmes, he called it: No pigs in space! It is an article from Reuters in the magazine Scientific American.

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysia has come up with the world’s first comprehensive guidebook for Muslims in space as its first astronaut prepares to go into orbit next week.

The book, entitled Guidelines for Performing Islamic Rites at the International Space Station, teaches the Muslim astronaut how to perform ablutions, determine the location of Mecca when praying, prayer times, and how to fast in space, the Star newspaper reported on Saturday.

The 34-year-old Malaysian has said he will try to observe as much of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan in orbit as possible. The lunar month, during which Muslims fast from dawn to dusk, is due to end around October 13.

Well, I don’t see any problems at all about Ramadan. When the station is across night places on earth he can eat, and when they are over daytime places he can’t eat. He only has to eat a bit faster and not a couple of hours. Tell me if I’m wrong.
