Pakistan Says U.S. Pauses Airstrikes

ISLAMABAD–The CIA has stopped firing missiles at militants in Pakistan since last month's North Atlantic Treaty Organization deadly air strikes along the Afghan border so as not to "aggravate" already strained ties with Islamabad, the chief of Pakistan's senate defense committee said Tuesday.

The 33-day pause is the longest since the program began in 2004, according to the Long War Journal, a website that tracks the strikes.

Relations between Pakistan and the United States are at their lowest ebb in years following the Nov. 26 air strikes at the Pakistani army border outpost that killed 24 soldiers. The Pakistani army responded by closing its border with Afghanistan to trucks carrying U.S. and NATO war supplies. It is demanding a complete review of its relationship with Washington.

Javed Ashraf Qazi, the defense committee chief, said he believed the pause in attacks was because the U.S. "does not want to aggravate the situation any further."

Still, Mr. Qazai, a former army general who gets high-level briefings because of his position on the committee, said he believed that if the United States had a "high-level" target in its sights then, "I think they would go ahead" and launch a strike . "If they do so, the results could get worse," he said.

Pakistan's government and army have long publicly protested the U.S. drone program, but in private have given their consent. The attacks are very unpopular among ordinary Pakistanis, who generally regard them as an unacceptable breach of sovereignty.

American officials do not comment on the drone program in public.

The Long War Journal quoted an anonymous American official as saying the pause was because another attack "push U.S.-Pakistan relations past the point of no return."

The CIA drone program began in 2004 to target al Qaeda and Taliban militants in Pakistan's tribal regions along the Afghan border, but the frequency of the attacks began increasing in 2008. There have been around 60 this year, significantly less than in 2010. American officials say privately that the drones are a key weapon in reducing the threat from militants in the border area.

There have been at least two other pauses in the drone program that have coincided with tense tie between Islamabad and Pakistan, including earlier this year when Pakistan was detaining CIA contractor Raymond Davis after he killed two people in the eastern city of Lahore.

Girls basketball roundup: Hot-shooting St. Mary's handles CK at TOC

Bob Mackey has been to the Nike Tournament of Champions long enough to know how unkind the draw can be sometimes. The Royals drew the host school St. Mary’s (Ariz.) to start.

“The deck was stacked very much against us,” the Christ the King coach said. “You know when you put your name in the hat you know what could come out. ... They were hot from the start.”

St. Mary’s shot 68 percent from the field in the first half and CK was never able to recover in an eventual 66-37 loss in the opening round of the Nike Tournament of Champions in Phoenix. Harvard-bound guard Shilpa Tummala scored 28 of her 30 points on six 3-pointers in the first half for the Knights, ranked No. 20 in the country by USA Today.

“We ran into a chain saw tonight,” Mackey said. “Wow, definitely the term. They were knocking down 3s left, right and center.”

Sierra Calhoun led Christ the King (0-3) with 12 points on 6-of-9 shooting and Kollyns Scarbrough added seven. The Royals trailed 47-26 at the half. They face nationally ranked Wesleyan (Ga.) in the consolation round Tuesday morning, 10:30 a.m. PST. Mackey called this as good a level of competition the tournament has had in more than five years.

“It’s a three-game tournament [now], I told the kids,” he said. “The goal right now is to finish 3-3 [overall] that’s our goal.”

bidos alleyway

bidos alleyway

Alleyway in bidos, Portugal.

bidos is a town (vila) of about 3100 inhabitants in central Portugal. The name of the town derives from the Latin word oppidum for fortified town. There was a settlement with the name Eburobrittium at this site already during the time of the Roman Empire. After the decline of the Roman empire the area was under control of the Visigoths until it was conquered by the Moors. Afonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal, recaptured it during the Reconquista in 1148. His grandson, King Afonso II, made the town a wedding present for his wife Urraca. Several other kings continued this custom, so that's why bidos is also called Vila das Rainhas (town of the queens).
bidos is a well-preserved example of medieval architecture and a popular tourist destination. Even today it is still surrounded by its old walls and the fortifications of the old castle.

Work and Pleasure

The little boat seems to be generally used for crab fishing but is nearly always at this spot and photographed a lot. The expensive pleasure boats rarely move either. The largest ones seem to be somewhere warmer at present.

Three Raw files tone-mapped in Photomatix and tweaked in Gimp. Taken with Tamron wide angle lens.
