Beijing 2008 : AUGUST 20 2008 Usain, Still more history to be made [world record in Man's 200 19 . 30]

BEIJING, August 19) — It’s hard to tell if the Beijing Games are picking up or winding down on Wednesday, August 20. While Sailing, Wrestling and Beijing 2008 : AUGUST 20 2008 Usain, Still more history to be made [world record in Man's 200 19 . 30]Swimming are all on their second-to-last day of competition, Softball, Synchronized Swimming and Taekwondo are just giving out their first medals. In addition, the 10 kilometer Marathon Swimming event and BMX Biking are both making their Olympic debuts. Athletics is the one medal event neither winding down nor just beginning on Day 12, but an iconic Olympic record could be broken in the Men’s 200 meter final. No athlete has won both the Men’s 100m and 200m in Athletics in the same Olympic Games since Carl Lewis of the United States did it in 1984, but Jamaican Usain Bolt will be attempting this very feat during the Men’s 200m race on Wednesday at 10:20 p.m. (UTC/GMT +8) in the National Stadium. At an Olympics where US swimmer Mark Spitz’s legendary record of seven golds in a single Games was also broken, who knows what could happen in Beijing. In the Women’s 400m Hurdles final, Sheena Tosta of the United States enters the race with the fastest semifinal time of 54.07 seconds, followed by Melaine Walker of Jamaica, who won her semifinal in 54.20 seconds. Seven women will compete in the Women’s Hammer Throw final, including Athens 2004 Olympic Games silver medalist Yipsi Moreno of Cuba, who has the best throw of the competition so far at 73.92m. Reigning world champion Betty Heidler of Germany and World Championships bronze winner Zhang Wenxiu of China will also be strong competitors. Among other Athletics events tomorrow, the Men’s 110m Hurdle and Women’s 200m will hold semifinal races. With reigning world and Olympic champion Liu Xiang out of the picture, expect world record holder Dayron Robles of Cuba to be the star of the show, although it feels like Beijing will still be talking about Liu’s exit long after the event’s medals are awarded.On to the events awarding their first gold medals of the Beijing Games. Taekwondo begins tomorrow, with the Women’s under-49 kilogram weight class and Men’s under-58 kilogram weight class competitions. In both categories, Chinese Taipei athletes are favored. Defending Olympic champion Chu Mu-yen of Chinese Taipei is back in the Men’s -58kg competition, and in the Women’s -49kg weight class, Yang Shu-chun of Chinese Taipei and Wu Jingyu of China are considered the biggest favorites. These two have a seesaw record. Wu defeated Yang 3-0 in the Beijing World Championships in 2007 before claiming a gold medal in the final, but in 2008, Yang took the Asian champion title by beating Wu in the final.august

Mindanao Attack - War between AFP vs MILF & Abu Sayyaf Group

This video is personally owned by Mr. Even Demata. The video contains an actual fighting between Muslim rebels in Mindanao and Philippine goverments troops. LATEST NEWS: Malacañang rejects calls for ‘all-out’ war against MILF 08/22/2008 | 04:56 PM MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang on Friday rejected calls for an “all-out” war with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and said the ongoing police and military operations in Mindanao are only meant to “neutralize” separatists involved in recent attacks against civilians. “The President wishes to allay fears that an all-out war will be launched by the government in light of increasing calls to do so on one hand, and of concerns of others on the other that such a thrust could be possible at this stage of the vigorous pursuit operations against rogue elements of the MILF,” Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said. Calls for an all-out war against the MILF have been increasing following attacks by rogue members of the MILF against civilians last Monday in North Cotabato, Lanao del Norte and Sarangani last Monday. Among those who advocated total war was former President Joseph Estrada, who chided the Arroyo government of giving back territory that government forces seized from the separatist rebels in 2000 when he was in power. On the other hand, religious leaders and human rights groups have warned that an all-out war could only aggravate the conflict that has divided Filipinos in the south for decades. Adding to calls for peace last Thursday was former President Corazon Aquino, who said that peace is cheaper than war. Ermita also said the government is not imposing on the MILF leadership to surrender their two commanders — Ameril Umbra Kato and Abdullah Makapaar, alias “Commander Bravo” — as a condition for peace negotiations to continue. He said the government just “have to live up to that realization that they (MILF leaders) admit that they have elements that do not follow orders.” MILF leaders have said the attacks will be investigated jointly by the government and MILF ceasefire committees and that punishments await their men found responsible for the “unauthorized attacks.” Earlier on Friday, the Philippine National Police (PNP) filed charges of murder, kidnapping, and arson against Bravo, Kato and 89 others who were linked to attacks and burning of properties in parts of North Cotabato, Lanao del Norte and Sarangani provinces in the past two weeks. Ermita further said that government forces will continue to go after these “rogue” MILF members but are under strict orders to avoid “collateral damage,” a term used for civilians getting caught in the crossfire. “While the government’s military and police forces are complying with the President’s directive to neutralize the two erring commanders and other recalcitrant leaders and members of the MILF at all cost…to the extent possible, collateral damage must be avoided,” Ermita said. “It is in this light that military and police forces, as part of their pursuit operations, and representatives in the various government agencies concerned are to touch base and work closely with local government officials and community leaders in the areas affected to ensure the delivery of necessary social services to our people,” he added. Ermita said that latest word they got is that about 80 percent of the residents in Kolambugan in Lanao del Norte who fled from coordinate attacks by the forces of Bravo and Kato last Monday have already returned to their villages. Highways between Iligan City and Kauswagan and Kolambugan, and between Iligan Cand Marawi City have already been cleared, secured and under military and police control. “So we are now looking at how to attend to the needs of the internally displaced persons at bumalik na karamihan, mga 80 porsyento ng displaced people from Kolambugan na ang bumalik from Ozamis City. They only need to cross (by boat) to be back, So in time there will be normalcy in the area,” he added. - GMANews.TV
