1 Angry Serb nationalists protest Karadzic arrest
By JOVANA GEC, Associated Press Writer
12 minutes ago
| BELGRADE, Serbia – Serb nationalists skirmished with riot police in the capital Tuesday, lashing out against the new Western-leaning government that captured war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic. Karadzic’s lawyer vowed to appeal Serbia’s plan to extradite the former Bosnian Serb chief to a U.N. war crimes court.
Riot police deployed in downtown Belgrade to keep about 200 members of the extremist Obraz group under control. The demonstrators threw stones and clay pots at the officers, chanting “treason!” and trying to break through police cordons. Five demonstrators and a policeman were injured, doctors at Belgrade emergency clinic said. |

One of my odd skill sets is that I am a public speaker, a trainer of public speaking, and a judge of the same in 2 different formats.
One is the traditional 3 to 5 (minutes) either to inform, persuade, or move emotionally. If you ever come before me I must admit what most impresses is continuity and performance, so your points better be logically laid out and have a beginning, a middle, and an end.
AND STOP MUMBLING!
After a while you can work on points for style, like the club tie and the firm handshake, a certain look in the eye and an easy smile.
The other format is called Debate. 2 Teams of 3. Each Team consists of 2 Speakers both of whom must speak at least once, and a Captain who does not speak. You have 90 seconds each to make a Primary argument and a Rebuttal argument, and a final 60 second Summation. 30 Seconds between each round for Judges to work and Team consultation. You need not use your full time, but there are penalties for going over. Argument goes Pro Primary, Con Primary, Pro Rebuttal, Con Rebuttal, Con Summary, Pro Summary.
The scoring is heavily weighted to encourage Teams to remember to promote their positive arguments in the Primary segment and refute their opponent’s argument in the Rebuttal segment, but you’d be amazed at how many Teams waste their time arguing against imaginary strawmen in the Primary and only advance their positive points in Rebuttal. Teams often forget to summarize the points they’ve made that are un-refuted too and waste their time re-arguing settled issues.
It’s a really fun party game. I mostly work with half in the bag conventioneers or hung over ones.

1 Afghan officials: US-led forces killed 9 police
By NAHAL TOOSI, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 46 minutes ago
| KABUL, Afghanistan – U.S.-led troops and Afghan forces killed nine Afghan police Sunday, calling in airstrikes and fighting on the ground for four hours after both sides mistook the other for militants, Afghan officials said.
In a separate incident, NATO said it accidentally killed at least four Afghan civilians Saturday night. A NATO soldier also was killed in the east. The two cases of accidental killings could further undercut popular support for the government and foreign forces operating here. President Hamid Karzai has pleaded with the U.S. and other nations fighting resurgent militants to avoid civilian casualties. |

1 As wars lengthen, toll on military families mounts
By DAVID CRARY, AP National Writer
43 minutes ago
| FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. – Far from the combat zones, the strains and separations of no-end-in-sight wars are taking an ever-growing toll on military families despite the armed services’ earnest efforts to help.
Divorce lawyers see it in the breakup of youthful marriages as long, multiple deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan fuel alienation and mistrust. Domestic violence experts see it in the scuffles that often precede a soldier’s departure or sour a briefly joyous homecoming. Teresa Moss, a counselor at Fort Campbell’s Lincoln Elementary School, hears it in the voices of deployed soldiers’ children as they meet in groups to share accounts of nightmares, bedwetting and heartache. |
