Ousted Paraguay leader accuses lawmakers of 'coup'

Paraguay's ousted leader Fernando Lugo on Sunday accused lawmakers of carrying out a "parliamentary coup d'etat" to force him from power, as international protests mounted over his abrupt removal.

In his first public appearance since his impeachment on Friday over a deadly land dispute earlier this month, Lugo again blasted Congress for its snap decision but said he would nevertheless accept it in the name of peace.

"Lugo has not been dismissed; democracy has been dismissed. They have not respected the popular will," the ousted leader said in an unexpected appearance at a street protest attended by about 500 people in the capital Asuncion.

He called his impeachment "unjust" and called for "peaceful" demonstrations in the impoverished, landlocked South American nation.

"There was a parliamentary coup d'etat... the arguments for impeachment had no value," the 61-year-old former leader said after entering the studio of TV Publica, scene of the protest, for a brief news conference.

In a 39-4 vote, lawmakers on Friday found Lugo guilty of performing his duties badly during the armed clash on June 15 that claimed the lives of six police and 11 squatters on a privately-held farm.

His vice president Federico Franco was quickly sworn in to cheers in the Congress as Paraguay's new leader.

Lugo acknowledged that it would be "very difficult" to return in power, but said there should be no more violence, adding: "Peacefully, the democratic process will continue, with more strength."

Franco on Saturday told AFP in an interview in his office that he hoped Lugo would help him stem the international outcry over the change in power.

"Right now I'm trying to speak with president Lugo. I'm going to do it. I think his presence as a Paraguayan is very important to give an international image, because right now we need a legally constituted government," he said.

Franco said he planned to ask Lugo "to help us prevent Paraguay from receiving an absolutely unjust, unnecessary and unpopular punishment."

No foreign government has recognized Paraguay's new leadership.

Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay -- Paraguay's partners in the Mercosur trading bloc -- recalled their ambassadors for consultations.

The secretary general of the Organization of American States, Jose Miguel Insulza, called the snap impeachment a "disrespect to due process."

Insulza said the Americas had once again witnessed "a summary judgment that, while formally in keeping with the law, did not appear to fulfill all the legal precepts of the right to a legitimate defense."

Franco, who served as Lugo's vice president, earlier defended the ouster of his predecessor as being in compliance with the country's constitution, and he insisted "there was no coup."

"There are no soldiers in the street," he added.

But he acknowledged he was concerned about the international reaction.

"We will make our best efforts to get in touch with neighboring countries to try to demonstrate our clear commitment to democracy," he said.

Franco met earlier with the Vatican's envoy Agustin Arietti, and with the German ambassador Dirk Niebel, who said Berlin viewed the ouster as "a normal change of government, not by means of elections, but a normal process."

Lugo's lawyers had just two hours to present their case on his behalf in the Senate impeachment trial.

The torrent of furious responses to the ouster came not just from traditional leftist allies like Bolivia, Nicaragua and Venezuela.

Argentina's President Cristina Kirchner took to her Twitter account to repeat that "Argentina will not validate the coup in Paraguay."

"It's a travesty of justice and an affront to the rule of law to remove a president in 24 hours, with no guarantees to defend himself," the executive secretary of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, Santiago Canton, told a press conference.

The first major international event the new government had been expected to attend is a Mercosur summit in Argentina on Thursday and Friday.

But Franco told AFP he would not go if his presence would make matters worse.

Peru said it had offered to host a presidential summit of Mercosur leaders next week to assess the situation in Paraguay.

Brazil said members of Mercosur and Unasur, another regional bloc, were considering what measures should be applied to Paraguay in light of the developments.

Franco noted that any blockade of Paraguay would hurt Brazilian entrepreneurs, who have major interests in the country. Sixty percent of Paraguay's trade is with Brazil.

Extremely popular at the time of his election in 2008, Lugo -- a former priest -- saw his reputation in this predominantly Catholic country take a nosedive by repeated claims he fathered children while under a vow of chastity.

Miami Heat victory parade set for Monday

The Miami Herald

Gulp up the java Miami Heat fans ? today?s a day for celebrating, and chest-thumping.

And coming soon...a parade!

The Heat?s championship glow hovered over a bleary-eyed South Florida on Friday, as fans descended upon sporting goods stores to snatch up commemorative T-shirts and hats. The stop-and-go morning commute was spiced up by sports radio blaring Queen?s ?We Are The Champions.?

Victory parade festivities are set to begin at 9 a.m. Monday, with the actual parade starting at 11 a.m. and ending at Noon. At 12:30 p.m., the team will go inside AmericanAirlines Arena for an additional private celebration reserved for season-ticket holders.

Here?s the parade route: it begins at the corner of S.E. 8th Street and 2nd Avenue, heading east on 8th Street, then north on Brickell Avenue across the bridge, and north on Biscayne Boulevard to the arena.

For Heat fan Gerardo Rodriguez, the Finals triumph erased the ghosts of last year, when the Heat lost the Finals in 6 games to the Dallas Mavericks. Rodriguez lives in Dallas, and as Heat Nation sulked after last year?s outcome, Rodriguez had to endure the further indignity of being surrounded by the enemy. He was even forced to watch the Dallas victory parade, which passed right by the restaurant where he worked.

?It was tough,? Rodriguez said. ?I wouldn?t say it felt like a nightmare, but it was pretty close.?

This year, though, Rodriguez is planning his first-ever visit to Miami so he can watch the Heat?s victory parade.

?I even converted my girlfriend into a Heat fan,? Rodriguez said. ?She loves D-Wade.?

Heat star Dwyane Wade began the morning with this Tweet: ?WOW..God is good..congrats to the city of Miami... yall deserve this moment...WORLD CHAMPION..#TeamNoSleep I love you guys..?

Later in the day, Finals MVP LeBron James tweeted: ?OMFG I think it just hit me, I?m a CHAMPION!! I AM a CHAMPION!!?

Elsewhere in the Twitterverse, global trending topics included ?Bird Road? ? an homage to the street?s reputation as Miami?s post-game street celebration headquarters.

The night before, Game 5?s lopsided score made the outcome a foregone conclusion, but at the Clevelander in South Beach, they counted down the game?s final seconds like it was New Year?s Eve nonetheless.

When the clock hit all zeroes, the pool bar exploded with screams, hugs and high-fives.

Miami Heat, NBA champions. Drink it up and soak it in.

?All I do is win,? DJ Khaled?s tune blared out over the PA, and never did it seem more apt.

?LeBron [James] did it,? said Jeff Hall, a Heat fan from Washington who traveled to South Florida for the NBA Finals. ?They said he couldn?t do it, but he came to Miami and he brought home a ring. This is incredible.?

The thunderous celebration echoed across South Florida. In households, sidewalks and street corners from coast to swamp, how did fans celebrate the second title in franchise history?

With pots, pans, baking sheets, ladles, spoons and any kind of kitchen utensil that made noise. Lots and lots of noise.

As a Heat win became inevitable, the sidewalks of West 49th Street in Hialeah swelled with fans in Heat jerseys, chanting and cheering, ?Let?s go Heat!?

Cars added to the calamity, laying on their horns as they crept by. A man on a motorcycle revved his engine.

Car Insurance Tips For The Occasional Driver | Cheap Auto Insurance

When switching insurance providers, cancel your old policy, and be sure to keep it in writing. If your cancellation by phone does not get properly recorded by an insurance employee, and you ignore the next bill that comes, you could be reported as someone who has been terminated by the insurer for non-payment. This can lower your credit score, and cause you headaches trying to correct it.

100/200/100 level coverage is a great thing to include in your auto insurance policy if you have an expensive car. Your state has set a minimum amount of liability coverage that you must have in order to get a license to drive. Be certain your own car insurance policy meets this minimum level of coverage.

You should be able to obtain a substantial discount from your insurance company, if your total miles driven is less than 7500 each year. If you are looking to cut back on your car insurance costs, this is a great place to begin.

By choosing the deductible that is the highest amount, your premium will be the lowest it can be. A higher deductible means that you will have to pay for repairs required when minor accidents occur, but you are still protected in the case of a major accident or one in which liability rests on you. High deductibles are preferable if you are insuring a car of low value.

If you want to keep your premium low, think about making your deductible higher. A larger deductible can have a tremendous affect on your total policy cost. If you decide to do this, you must remember that if you get into an accident, you will have to pay the amount of the deductible. Establishing an emergency fund using your premium savings is an easy way to make certain you have the money needed to cover higher deductibles.

Take any drivers that do not operate your car anymore off your insurance policy. If you are currently carrying someone on your policy who isn?t using your vehicle, by removing them you will reduce your monthly payments. You should particularly remove teenagers from your insurance if they do not use the vehicle. Having them on your insurance significantly increases your premium.

Ask your human resources department if they have any special group rates for auto insurance for employees. Certain employers do collaborate with insurance companies to take advantage of lower rates. The amount of time you have worked for an employer may influence how much of a discount you can get as well. Suggest adding a plan in which you will save money for multiple drivers.

Your rates will be higher than someone who has never had an accident, but maybe not much more if you shop around. Companies even exist whose mission is to provide cheaper coverage to those with some driving mistakes on their record.

Some insurers offer a ?geezer discount? to people who are over 55 years of age and take a course to bone up on their driving skills. You may be able to benefit from a reduction of close to 10% on your insurance bill.

While finding the company that offers the lowest annual premium for your car insurance is important, this is only one of the many factors that you should consider when comparing car insurance quotes. Know the details of your policy; including, the deductibles, limits and the amount of coverage that is provided.

You should reevaluate your car insurance every year when it comes up for renewal. Always stay up-to-date on new information. If you have changed jobs, you may save money if you are driving less to and from work.

As It was mentioned earlier in this article, before purchasing auto insurance it is important that you do enough research so that you know the specific type of insurance you need. Once you gain a bit of understanding about insurance, it should be fairly easy to make a wise purchase at a good price. Follow the suggestions here to make sure that you obtain the type of car insurance that you require.

Classic Treat Free Article Directory ? Set Theory: Types of Sets and ...

Set Theory:
A branch of mathematics which deals with the properties of well defined collection of objects (Sets) is called the Set Theory
A set is a collection of well defined objects in the domain D.
The Universal Set U contains every element in D and the null set contains no element.
Types of Sets:
Finite sets: The sets which have finite number of members or elements are called finite sets.
Example: {set of natural numbers less than 10}={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}
Infinite sets: The sets which have infinite number of members or elements are called infinite sets.
Example:{set of all natural numbers} = {1,2,3,4??} (the list goes on)
Null or Empty sets: The sets in which there are no members or elements
Example: {set of squares with 6 sides}
Union of Sets:
The union of two sets, set A and set B is the set formed which contains all the elements of set A and also
set B. It is denoted by the symbol ?U?, A U B and read as ?A union B?

Example: Set A={ orange, yellow, green}
Set B={ pink, red, blue}

A U B = {orange, yellow, green, pink, red, blue} (all the elements of set A and set B)

Intersection of Sets:

The Intersection of two sets, set A and set B is the set formed by considering the elements which are common to both the sets A and B. It is denoted by , A B and read as ?A intersection B?

Example: Set A ={orange, yellow, green, pink, red}
Set B= {pink, red, blue, orange}

A B= {orange, pink, red} (elements common to both the sets A and B}

Complement of Sets:

Universal set is the set formed by considering all the elements.

Complement of set A is the set which consists of all the elements of the universal set that are not in set A. It is denoted as A?

Example: Universal set, U ={-1,-2,0,1,2}

Set A={ -1,1}

Set A? = {-2,0,2}
Note: When we combine all the elements of Set A and Set A? we get the Universal set

Lions speared: Kenya's human-animal conflicts grow

Kenya Wildlife Service rangers load the carcasses of six lions speared to death by residents of Oloika area in retaliation after the lions raided a boma (livestock enclosure) and ate four goats, in Kitengela, Kajiado County, Kenya, Wednesday, June 20, 2012. The Kenya Wildlife Service said the killings are a big loss to Kenya's economy, given the number of tourists who travel to Kenya to see big game.

Kenyan Wildlife Service assistant director Anne Kahihia speaks to journalists in Nairobi, Kenya, Wednesday, June 20 , 2012. The Kenya Wildlife Service says residents on the outskirts of Nairobi speared to death six lions after the carnivores killed four goats from their herd. KWS said Wednesday that two adult lionesses, two younger lions and two cubs were killed overnight by a mob wielding spears. The lions had strayed outside of Nairobi National Park in search of food when they killed the goats.(AP Photo/Khalil Senosi)

(AP) ? Crouching at dawn in the savannah's tall grass, the lions tore through the flesh of eight goats. Dogs barked, women screamed and men with the rank of warrior in this village of Maasai tribesman gathered their spears.

Kenya Wildlife Service rangers responded to the attack, but arrived without a veterinarian and no way to tranquilize the eight lions and remove them from Ilkeek-Lemedung'I, a settlement of mud and stone homes not far from the edges of Nairobi National Park.

In the end, the Maasai men ? who come from a tribe renowned for its hunting skills ? grew tired of waiting, said Charity Kingangir, whose father's goats were attacked Wednesday. The men speared the lions, killing six: two adult lionesses, two younger lions and two cubs.

The lions had killed eight goats, each worth about $60.

Wednesday's killings highlight the growing threat to Kenya's wildlife posed by the rapid expansion of its capital. A week earlier, residents from another village on Nairobi's outskirts killed a leopard that had eaten a goat. Last month, wildlife service agents shot and killed a lion moving around the Nairobi suburb of Karen. On Thursday, three lions attacked and killed three goats outside Nairobi National Park. Rangers chased the lions back to the park.

Earlier this week, the Kenya Wildlife Service sent out a public notice pleading with people who encounter wild animals "to desist from killing them."

It summed up the problem in a posting on its Facebook page: "Do animals invade human space, or do humans invade animal space? How can we find tolerance for our wild neighbors? And how can we humanely remove them when they get a bit too close?"

As Nairobi enjoys a boom in apartment and road construction, an expanding population center is putting heavy pressure on the animals, especially big cats. Nairobi National Park is the only wildlife park in the world that lies in a country's capital.

Killing lions is a crime in Kenya, but those who lose livestock to big cats frequently retaliate. About 100 lions are killed each year, and the country's lion population has dropped to about 2,000. Lions, especially ones who leave Nairobi National Park, which is not completely fenced in, are at risk. After Wednesday's killings, the park had 37 left, KWS estimates.

As Nairobi continues to grow, small towns that cropped up on its outskirts expand, fueled by the demand for low-cost housing from the city's working class.

People are settling in traditional migratory corridors that wildlife from Nairobi's park have long used to access the plains to the south around Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro, or to travel to Kenya's Maasai Mara in the country's southwest, said Peter M. Ngau, a professor in the department of urban and regional planning at the University of Nairobi.

The herbivores migrate from the park in search of pasture during the dry season and the carnivores follow, KWS official Ann Kahihia said.

"Unfortunately the carnivores do not know the difference between livestock and wild animals. Once they get livestock they just kill them," Kahihia said.

KWS Director Julius Kipngetich says the human population in the Kitengela area, where the six lions were killed, was low in the 1990s but has grown dramatically since the opening of an export processing zone there.

Even the annual migration of the wildebeests from Nairobi National Park to the Athi plains to Nairobi's east has been squeezed by human settlement, he said.

If parliament approves, the Kenyan government will start compensating people whose livestock are maimed or killed as an incentive to spare the attacking animals. KWS spokesman Paul Udoto said the government stopped compensation for wildlife attacks in 1987 after the program was abused.

Kipngetich said other ways of avoiding human-wildlife conflict is to fence parks and compensate at market rates people whose land can be used for conservation purposes.

Jackson Sikeet, who was present during Wednesday's killing of the lions, said the government should compensate the Maasai for the loss of the goats.

"Otherwise if they don't, this problem is going to continue every other time," he said.

Israel air raid kills 2 Gazans‚ Hamas fires rockets

Added At: ?2012-06-19 4:31 PM??

Last Updated At: 2012-06-19 4:44 PM

AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE

GAZA CITY: An Israeli air strike killed two Palestinian teenagers near the central Gaza Strip town of Deir el-Balah early on Tuesday, a Palestinian medical official said.

"Two citizens were killed in an Israeli air strike," the official said. "The bodies were only recovered this morning when an ambulance could get to the scene."

It was not immediately clear if they were the same two who were earlier reported wounded or additional casualties.

Hospital staff named the dead youths as Mohammed Bassem Abu Mealiq and Yusef al-Talbani, both 17. Witnesses said they had been trying to breach the fence bordering Israel when they were hit.

Two men were earlier reported as injured in the strike, shortly after midnight (2100 GMT).

The Israeli military confirmed hitting what it called a "terrorist squad identified handling an explosive device" near the security fence in the central Gaza Strip.

Four rockets were later fired into southern Israel's Hof Ashkelon district, with the military wing of Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip and generally maintains a tacit truce with Israel, making a rare claim of responsibility.

Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the Islamist movement's military wing, said it fired the rockets in response to "Israel's crimes."

On Monday, Israeli aircraft killed four Palestinians in two sorties over the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanun and wounded at least three, Palestinian medics said.

Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades said one of those killed was a member of the group.

The military said he was part of "a terrorist squad attempting to fire a rocket at Israel."

On Monday afternoon, the army said, a rocket was fired from Gaza into the Hof Ashkelon area and another fell at night. "Altogether six rockets were fired in the past 24 hours," a spokeswoman told AFP on Tuesday morning.

Monday's strikes came hours after gunmen mounted an early morning deadly ambush along Israel's southern border with Egypt, killing an Israeli civilian construction worker. Two of the gunmen were shot dead by Israeli troops.

An Israeli military source insisted however that Monday's air strikes were not related to the ambush.

Israeli media commentators on Tuesday said the ambush was a further symptom of the Sinai peninsula's descent into lawlessness since last year's overthrow of Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.

"It isn't the same Egypt, it isn't the same border, the peace accords are on their deathbed and we had better change our operating disc," Alex Fishman wrote in top-selling Yediot Aharonot, referring to the two states' 1979 peace treaty.

"We would do well to stop with the word games, to stop saying that there were terror attacks in Sinai when Mubarak was in power as well, and to get used to the fact that the entire length of Israel's southern border is a hostile border, a confrontation border," he added.

In Israel Hayom daily, considered close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Yoav Limor was gloomier still.

"We have to get used to it: the western border has become a war border. True, with Egypt we still have (cold) peace, but a gulf of hatred and a buffer of terrorism separate us," he wrote.

Israeli media reported that workmen were on Tuesday back at the scene of the border attack as well as at other construction sites.
