Iran stations defense staff at North Korea military site: Kyodo

(Reuters) - A woman who underwent a full face transplant after being mauled by a chimpanzee will receive about $4 million from the estate of the animal's owner, who has since died, according to media reports on Thursday. Charla Nash was attacked in February 2009, when her friend's 200-pound chimpanzee went on a rampage and ripped off her nose, lips, eyes and hands. The chimp was shot and killed by a police officer. Nash's brother, Michael, filed a lawsuit on his sister's behalf, seeking $50 million from the estate of the chimp's owner, Sandra Herold, who died in 2010. ...

All communications lines back up in Damascus: AFP

DAMASCUS, Syria (2nd UPDATE) ? Internet and telephone services resumed in Damascus on Saturday, December 1, after a 3-day blackout, an AFP reporter and state news agency SANA said, as a watchdog said they were up in most parts of Syria.

"Internet is back in Damascus and in parts of Damascus province," the correspondent said, adding that mobile phone lines were also back up.

State news agency SANA confirmed the reports, saying the outage had been due to maintenance.

"All communication lines are back up in Damascus, after maintenance works were completed," the agency said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights added that "communications lines are back in most of Syria's provinces."

Several anti-regime activists went online after services resumed.

"Facebook has lit up," said a Damascus-based opposition activist via the Internet.

Activists and human rights monitors said ordinary civilians were hardest hit by the blackout than the opposition as they were unable to use cell phones even to call for emergency assistance in the event of casualties from the persistent violence rocking the country.

The Syrian authorities said the interruption to normal service was purely for maintenance but Washington said the move was a deliberate ploy to impede communications among rebels and opposition activists.

Before services resumed, state television accused a US company it did not name of blacking out the official SANA news agency's website, which was also down since Thursday, November 29.

As soon as Internet services were resumed, SANA's website was running again. ? Agence France-Presse

Malaga faces UEFA action over unpaid player wages

By GRAHAM DUNBAR

AP Sports Writer

Associated Press Sports

updated 11:39 a.m. ET Nov. 30, 2012

GENEVA (AP) -Champions League contender Malaga is facing UEFA sanctions for failing to pay millions of euros (dollars) of players' wages on time, and will likely have some prize money withheld.

UEFA said Friday that investigators from its Club Financial Control Body have referred Malaga and eight other clubs to the panel's judging chamber.

Malaga, which is owned by Qatari investor Sheik Abdullah Bin Nasser Al-Thani, has reportedly failed to pay players a combined ?9 million ($11.6 million).

Club officials declined official to comment to The Associated Press on Friday.

"The club has offered sufficient guarantees for us to be calm and we don't want to continue talking about financial questions," Malaga midfielder Sergio "Duda" Barbosa said Friday.

The Spanish club has qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League from a group including seven-time winner AC Milan and is due at least ?25 million ($32 million) in prize money, bonuses and a share of Spanish television revenues from UEFA.

UEFA said the judging panel will examine nine clubs which played in this season's Champions League and Europa League whose prize money has been frozen because of unpaid players' wages, transfer fees or social taxes.

Sixteen clubs have been cleared by UEFA - including defending Europa League champion Atletico Madrid, Sporting Lisbon and Fenerbahce - and will now receive their prize money.

Investigators "adjudged that the necessary financial requirements had been implemented" by a Sept. 30 deadline, UEFA said in a statement.

UEFA published a list of 23 clubs under investigation in September who owed a combined ?30 million ($38.4 million) in so-called "overdue payables."

Clubs must pay their football and tax debts as a condition of getting a license from their national association to play in UEFA competitions.

Malaga was the highest profile case and the only one of 32 group stage clubs in the Champions League implicated.

In its debut season in world football's most prestigious club competition, Malaga has excelled against Milan, Anderlecht and Zenit St. Petersburg while seeming in turmoil off the field.

The club spent ?120 million (then $158 million) on the team last year and then switched strategy in the offseason by selling top players, including Spain playmaker Santi Cazorla to Arsenal.

Malaga will be joined in the UEFA court, at an unspecified date, by eight Europa League entrants: Bucharest clubs Dinamo and Rapid, Serbian clubs Partizan and Vojvodina, Hajduk Split and Osijek of Croatia, plus Lech Poznan of Poland and Arsenal Kiev of Ukraine. The latter two have been added to the original list of 23 since September.

UEFA has enforced a licensing system for almost a decade, but the rules and potential sanctions have gained a higher profile in the "Financial Fair Play" era.

Since 2011, UEFA has been monitoring clubs' finances more closely and now requires them to aim toward breaking even on their football-related business as a condition of entry for the Champions League and Europa League.

The two competitions have attracted total commercial revenue of almost ?1.6 billion ($2.1 billion) for each season from 2012-15, with most shared among clubs playing in the group stages.

N.J. train derailment tips tankers, sickens dozens

PAULSBORO, N.J. (AP) ? A freight train derailed Friday on a railroad bridge that has had problems before, toppling tanker cars partially into a creek and causing a leak of hazardous gas that was blamed for sickening dozens of people, authorities said.

After hours of not registering at all on sensors, the level of the dangerous chemical spiked Friday evening, prompting authorities to evacuate people from several blocks around the site of the derailment and causing investigators to conduct interviews and record checks away from the accident site.

Members of the National Transportation Safety Board arrived in New Jersey on Friday afternoon to investigate. They will try to determine whether the derailment was caused by a problem with the bridge or if the derailment was to blame for the bridge's partial collapse.

A delicate operation lies ahead, as a huge crane was being brought from New York Harbor to pick up the dangling tanker cars.

The accident happened just after 7 a.m. when a train with two locomotives, 83 freight cars and a caboose made its way from Camden to the industrial town of Paulsboro, just across the river from Philadelphia International Airport.

Cars from a train operated by CSX went off the rails on a swing-style bridge, owned by Conrail, over Mantua Creek.

Seven cars derailed, including two box cars on stable ground and five on the bridge. NTSB chairman Deborah Hersman said four tankers were partially in the creek.

One tanker containing 25,000 gallons of vinyl chloride was sliced open in the accident and some of the gas spewed into the air, while the rest turned into a solid and settled into the bottom of the tanker.

People who live nearby said the air was smoky in the morning. Doug Ricotta was working in his bakery when he heard a loud sound. "Next came a smell, kind of sweet ? not a healthy smell," he said. He stayed in his business and kept baking, though one catering order had to be canceled because roads into and out of town were closed for a few hours.

Breathing vinyl chloride, which is used to make the common plastic PVC, can make people dizzy or sleepy. Breathing very high levels can cause someone to pass out, and breathing extremely high levels can cause death. Most of the vinyl chloride is gone from the body one day after being breathed in.

More than 70 people were treated at Underwood-Memorial Hospital, most complaining of breathing problems, burning eyes or scratchy throats, said spokeswoman Karen Urbaniak. She said 11 arrived by ambulance, and the rest walked in. More than 60 were discharged by late afternoon, and the handful that remained were in stable condition.

Residents of Paulsboro, West Deptford and East Greenwich Township were told to remain indoors early Friday before an all-clear was given. One resident walked through town Friday morning wearing a gas mask.

By late morning, state Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Larry Hajna said sensors were not detecting the chemical at the site.

But by Friday evening, Hersman said, the chemical was detected again, leading to a new evacuation order for areas close to the accident.

Coast Guard Lt. Drew Madjeska, a spokesman for agencies responding to the derailment, told The Philadelphia Inquirer that residents were told they might not be allowed to return for several days, depending on the results of further air tests. Officials said about 500 residents were affected by the evacuation.

The higher readings also complicated things for investigators. Hersman said railroad officials, their contractors and other environmental experts were trying to determine the best way to get the rest of the vinyl chloride out of the ruptured tanker before further inspections could be done or the train cars could be moved.

She said her team of investigators would be focused first on reviewing records and interviewing witnesses ? things that can be done away from the accident site.

Tom Butts, the chief of emergency management for Gloucester County, said it would take at least a day to get the large crane to the site to pick up the damaged cars. The recovery work was expected to take place only during daylight hours and it was not clear how long it would take.

The bridge usually supports at least three major trains each day serving refineries and other customers in an industrial area along the Delaware River. It was rebuilt after it buckled in August 2009 and when nine cars on a coal train detailed. Officials attributed that accident to bridge misalignment.

State Senate President Stephen Sweeney, whose district includes Paulsboro, said he had been told that complaints had been made in recent weeks about noise coming from the bridge and that Conrail was looking into it. But he said he didn't have any details.

At a news conference, Conrail spokesman John Enright said that the company is concerned with safety and cooperating with authorities, but he would not take any questions.

Early in the day, State Assemblyman John Burzichelli, a former mayor of Paulsboro who was serving as spokesman for the town, said he believed that it was a problem with the bridge that caused the accident. But he later backed off that, saying he did not know the cause.

The Federal Railroad Administration doesn't routinely inspect the structural safety of bridges owned by freight railroads, although it does inspect the tracks and can do an inspection if it receives a complaint or if track inspectors notice a problem. The agency last inspected the Paulsboro bridge in January 2010 and found no defects.

The railroads themselves are responsible by law for inspecting their own bridges. The FRA does not know when Conrail last did one.

The NTSB's Hersman says her agency will review bridge safety records and other details, including the mechanical systems on the train and the structural integrity of the bridge. She said inspectors will seek to interview crew on the train and to give them drug and alcohol tests.

Burzichelli said that as long as the bridge is out, factories and refineries in the area will have to rely on shipping materials by barge and truck.

Abbas: UN vote last chance on two-state solution

UNITED NATIONS (AP) ? Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told the U.N. General Assembly before a historic vote on Thursday that it "is being asked today to issue the birth certificate of Palestine."

The Palestinians were certain to win U.N. recognition as a state, but Israel and the United States warned it could delay hopes of achieving an independent Palestinian state through peace talks with Israel.

Abbas said the vote is the last chance to save the two-state solution.

Israel's U.N. ambassador, Ron Prosor, warned the General Assembly that "the Palestinians are turning their backs on peace" and that the U.N. can't break the 4,000-year-old bond between the people of Israel and the land of Israel.

Prosor said the only way to achieve peace is through agreements between the parties, not through the U.N.

The General Assembly vote was certain to succeed, with most of the 193 member states sympathetic to the Palestinians. Several key countries, including France, recently announced they would support the move to elevate the Palestinians from the status of U.N. observer to nonmember observer state.

Jubilant Palestinians crowded around outdoor screens and television sets at home Thursday to watch the United Nations vote.

Palestinians say a successful vote will strengthen their hand in future talks with Israel, which has lambasted the recognition bid as an attempt to bypass such negotiations.

In Washington, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said after a meeting with U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, "I don't think that (the vote) practically will have a huge influence or a major impact on any issue. ... I don't see this as the major consequence. I think the most important urgent need is to open direct negotiations. Even if we cannot agree on a fully fledged peace, probably we can accomplish something, which is better than the status quo."

The U.N. vote would grant Abbas an overwhelming international endorsement for his key position: establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, the territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war. With Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu opposed to a pullback to the 1967 lines, this should strengthen Abbas' hand if peace talks resume.

The U.N. bid also could help Abbas restore some of his standing, which has been eroded by years of standstill in peace efforts. His rival, Hamas, deeply entrenched in Gaza, has seen its popularity rise after an Israeli offensive on targets linked to the Islamic militant group there earlier this month.

Thursday's vote was coming on the same day, Nov. 29, that the U.N. General Assembly in 1947 voted to recognize a state in Palestine, with the jubilant revelers then Jews. The Palestinians rejected that partition plan, and decades of tension and violence have followed.

Israel has stepped back from initial threats of harsh retaliation for the Palestinians seeking U.N. recognition now, but government officials warned that Israel would respond to any Palestinian attempts to use the upgraded status to confront Israel in international bodies.

The Palestinians could gain access to U.N. agencies and international bodies, most significantly the International Criminal Court, which could become a springboard for going after Israel for alleged war crimes or its ongoing settlement building on war-won land.

However, in the run-up to the U.N. vote, Abbas signaled that he wants recognition to give him leverage in future talks with Israel, and not as a tool for confronting or delegitimizing Israel, as Israeli leaders have alleged.

Junk radio signals track all space debris in one go

Call it Junk FM. Rogue signals from your radio may help warn about space debris on a dangerous collision course with Earth.

Stray FM signals from radios, bouncing back off space junk, could allow astronomers to track the whole population of space debris, suggest preliminary tests conducted this week at the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescope in Western Australia.

More than 21,000 pieces of debris larger than 10 centimetres are currently zipping around Earth at speeds of around 7 kilometres per second, according to NASA. Friction created by brushes with Earth's upper atmosphere can sometimes cause pieces of space junk to drop from orbit, creating a small but real risk for humans.

Meanwhile, millions of smaller pieces in orbit present a serious risk to satellites. This space junk is spotted and tracked using traditional radar or lasers, but the system has its limits.

"The best techniques at the moment can track a max of about 200 bits of debris a day," says Steven Tingay, director of the MWA from Curtin University in Western Australia. "If we can get thousands simultaneously, we could almost get the whole population of space debris in a night."

ISS test

The MWA is a set of some 2000 radio antennas spread out over 3 kilometres. Because of its extraordinarily wide field of view, the MWA can continuously track objects rather than just calculate their orbits from snapshots, Tingay says. That will improve our understanding of how much space junk exists and how much more is being created. "We can quickly characterise it after a launch or a collision," he says.

Continuous tracking would also improve orbital modelling in general and allow better protection of space assets, Tingay says.

To test the radio-tracking concept, the team used the MWA to pick up FM signals rebounding off the International Space Station, which is more than 100 metres wide. The team could clearly track the orbiting lab as it moved about 8 kilometres.

"This first observation gives us some great data to work on," says Tingay. Now that they know it works, the technique should be easy to scale down to objects as small as 10 centimetres, he says.

So far, the telescope has been using only a quarter of its antennas at a time, Tingay adds. Next year it will begin operating at full capacity. "The main thing the final instrument will give is four times more sensitivity, which broadly translates to four times smaller space debris," he says.

"It's a great idea," says Fred Watson, head of the Anglo-Australian Observatory at Coonabarabran. "If you're looking at the whole sky you really have the potential to map the space debris. But it's not the total panacea." There would be some lower limit to the size of debris FM signals could track, he says, and bits only a few millimetres wide can still do damage.

Bombs kill 30 in Iraq Shi'ite cities

HILLA, Iraq (Reuters) - Bombs in two majority Shi'ite Muslim cities in southern Iraq killed 28 people on Thursday, police and hospital sources said, in an attack aimed at spreading sectarian strife in the country.

Scores more were wounded in the blasts, which struck during a month that is of special significance to Shi'ite Muslims, who are often targeted by al Qaeda's Iraqi affiliate and other Sunni Muslim insurgents.

Nearly 2,000 people have been killed in Iraq so far this year following last December's withdrawl of U.S. troops, who had invaded in 2003 to overthrow Saddam Hussein.

Although violence is far lower than during the sectarian slaughter of 2006-2007, insurgents have carried out at least one big attack a month this year,

Tensions between Shi'ite, Kurdish and Sunni factions in Iraq's power-sharing government have been on the rise since the U.S. withdrawl. Rivals of Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki accuse him of trying to monopolize power.

Iraqi officials are also now worried that Islamists may be gaining strength from the conflict in neighboring Syria, where Islamists have joined the ranks of rebels fighting to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad.

Two explosions near a restaurant in the city of Hilla, 100 km (60 miles) south of Baghdad, killed 28 people, said Nabil Mohammed, the head of a hospital there.

"We started to stop civilian cars asking them to take the wounded to hospital since there were not enough ambulances to transfer them," said 39-year-old Ihsan al-Khalidi, a schoolteacher who was near the scene of the explosions.

Blood, shoes, body parts and wristwatches were scattered around the site of the blast and grieving women pounded their faces and chests, searching for relatives who might have been hurt.

"Shame on the officials who are just sitting in their offices while explosions hit the city every day," Khalidi said.

In the predominantly Shi'ite city of Kerbala, a car bomb near a bus terminal where pilgrims gather killed two people, a spokesman for the local health office said.

Attacks tend to increase during the period when Shi'ites commemorate the death of the Prophet's grandson, Imam Hussein.

On Tuesday, car bombs targeting Shi'ites in mourning processions killed 14 people in Baghdad.

Shi'ites were not the only target on Thursday. In Falluja, a mainly Sunni city 50 km (32 miles) west of Baghdad, three people were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up in the midst of a group of soldiers who were gathering to get their pay from a state bank, police and health sources said.

A roadside bomb also went off near a checkpoint in the northern city of Mosul, killed one policeman and one civilian, police said.
