Almost every news article and headline on Yahoo are fixated on the rebels in Syria and what they are doing. They never talk about or show demonstrators who support Assad. I find that Yahoo and many other American/Western media filter what’s really happening in Syria in order to paint the rebels as good guys . Don’t they know that many of the rebels are affiliated with al qaeda and other terrorist organizations. Don’t you think that if the Syrian people really wanted to overthrow Assad don’t you think they would have done so already along time ago. It’s already been a year! Syria has about 22,530,746 and 74% of the people are sunni compare to 13% who shia. That’s alot sunni muslims that could easily turn against and overthrow Assad and the shia minority who run the government in Syria. Many of people in Syria (including many sunni muslims) support Assad. In the past Christians and many other minorities lived peacefully in Syria because the Assad regime(which are secular) protected them from discrimination and preserved there rights. Even many of Assads officials were Christians. The Coptics in Egypt experience the same protection and tolerance from Hosni Mubarak before he was overthrown. Now the Coptics are sitting ducks for discrimination . I’m also afraid that the Christians and other minorities in Syria will also experience the same discrimination if Assad gets overthrown. I don’t get how replacing secular dictatorship with a barbaric, backward minded, ignorant, intolrable islamic regime is going to make things any better. I find nothing good came out of this “Arab Spring”. The only people who benefited from this “Arab Spring” were the barbaric, backward minded, ignorant, intolrable islamists who want to establish sharia law in these Arab countries. I find that the U.S government doesn’t really fro the Syrian people really want and are supporting the rebels for there own propaganda.

I decided that most of my characters will be of Italian decent. So it looks like I will be changing a few character names and surnames to Italian names. So I’m looking for Italian names (for both boys and girls) and I’m also needing Italian surnames.
I have a couple of characters in my story that are wealthy/well-to-do and I also have a couple of characters that are bad news and affiliated with some bad people. So I need Italian surnames that sound wealthy and some that sound like bad news/trouble.
Does anyone know of any Italian names and surnames that they would like to share?

There is an exposure by an Indian private Television channel in India of money laundering and briber by 6 umpires , there tapes and conversational dialogs have showed they bribery money for their favors to report about the whether, pitch and many other information from Mr Galage !! …
Here is some news about the full story !!!
The expose seemed to show Sri Lankan umpire Gallage agreeing to leak information on the pitch, weather, toss, and even the playing elevens of India and Pakistan ahead of their World T20 warm-up match for Rs 50,000.
Gallage, who was the fou
rth umpire in the game, went to the extent of guaranteeing support for a ‘particular player’ in case of any disciplinary action, the footage showed.
He also promised not to dock the player of his match fee should he be pulled up for slow over-rate. Dissanayake was shown as claiming that “by providing liquor to Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) officials, one can get any work done.”
A stunned SLC chairman Nishantha Ranatunga told TOI that the board would take action as soon as the ICC probe into the matter was over. “The SLC has zero tolerance level against doping and corrupt activities.
We are waiting for the ICC to launch an investigation into this and once the probe is over, we’ll take necessary action. Having said that, we have the highest confidence in our match officials,” Ranatunga said.
(conversation)
He is a Premier panel umpire of Sri Lanka. He is a regular Fourth Umpire in Test matches and ODI’s against all countries.
He officiated in 3 Test matches as reserve Umpire against England, India and New Zealand. Gamini also officiated in ICC under 19 World cup in 2006.
He revealed about the height of corruption prevalent in the Sri Lanka Cricket board. He told us that ‘if you serve them liquor and takes them to picnic you will get assignments from the Sri Lankan officials’.
He agreed on favouring our players in any format of the game.
Gamini also revealed that there are reports of match fixing in SLPL and in Sri Lankan cricket.
During the conversation, Gamini said that if we pay him good money, he will revolt against the Sri Lankan cricket and will officiate matches in any rebel league which is not being affiliated by ICC or any cricketing board.
His name was suggested to India TV by Maurice Winston Dela Zilwa.
Transcript:-
R – I want to reconfirm that thing with you that in any of the matches, if we will ask you to give undue favours or due favours to our players, so prima facie you tell me whether you will do that for us or not.
G – Again you are talking about it. I told you, summarise this, I told you we are agreed. Don’t worry about it. You don’t think about it.
On Monday, though, private news channel unveiled a sting operation, conducted in July and August, which seems to reveal that umpires, who are supposed to protect the laws of the game, may themselves be up for sale.
The channel’s sting allegedly caught six umpires from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka on camera ‘agreeing’ to give decisions on demand.
The umpires named in the sting operation are Nadeem Ghauri and Anees Siddiqui of Pakistan, Nadir Shah of Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka’s Gamini Dissanayake, Maurice Winston and Sagara Gallage.
TOI could not independently ascertain the veracity of the channel’s claims. Ghauri and Shah have already denied the allegations, with Shah terming them “absolutely rubbish”.
The International Cricket Council has launched an investigation into the allegations made by the channel.
The ICC, in a release on Monday, said, “The ICC and its relevant members have been made aware of the allegations made by the news channel this evening and calls on the station to turnover any information which can assist the ICC’s urgent investigations into this matter.
The ICC re-iterates its zero-tolerance towards corruption whether alleged against players or officials. The ICC confirms that none of the umpires named were involved in any of the official games of the ICC World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka. The ICC will not make any further comment on this issue.”
In the sting operation, the reporters said they belonged to a sports management company and promised the umpires assignments in different events around the world, largely domestic Twenty20 leagues.
While Ghauri and Shah appeared to agree to give wrong decisions, Gallage was ready to pass on information about the toss, the pitch and weather conditions in a match before it was available to the public.
