Observer
ALVIN GZ. ARPON
This OBSERVER is quite
lucky to have been shared a
copy of IMPACT an Asian
magazine for Human Trans-
formation through Educa-
tion, Social Advocacy and
Evangelization. In their Oc-
tober 2012 issue they focused
on the success of the 2010
automated elections.Surprisingly of some 15
feature articles about, yes,
automated elections, of mar-
riages, Pastoral letter on the
year of faith, just and lasting
peace in Mindanao, Party
Lists issues, 2 issues where
discussed relative to auto-
second reading. Two things can be seen here. One
is that representatives of the people took sides with
the popular clamor to have this controversial bill
passed. Some weeks back respondents in a survey
conducted it came out that majority of them fa-vor the RH bill. The voice of the people was indeed
heard through their representatives.
Of course there will still be another debate to -
nally pass it on the third reading. Tradition hears
out that in the past the approval of a bill on second
reading is almost it.
Two: The bishops and scores of Catholic leaders
present showed their strength by watching the pro-
ceedings in a fairly good number having occupied
the south wing of the House gallery. They counted
more in number compared to the pro-RH bill on
the other side of the gallery so that when a vi-
va-voce vote was called, it appeared that the
anti RH bill were just as loud even louder that
the pro RH bill when they joined in the chorus
for the Nay which is supposed to be purely
legislators role. So a nominal voting followed
that nally revealed the pro-RH bill won the
votes.Did the Catholic Church through its lead-
ers and supporters lose in the battle? We
dont think so. When the bill becomes a law
the Catholic Church will continue to influence
the Roman Catholic believers not to follow the
law. Unfortunately however, some Catholic
couples will simply listen to the homilies but
the warnings will simply enter one ear and ex-
its its message to the other ear. Many of our
Catholic couples especially the rich and edu-

THE GENEALOGY OF JESUS
The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, theson of Abraham. Abraham became the father of Isaac, Isaac the fatherof Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers. Judah became thefather of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar. Perez became thefather of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram, Ram the father of Ammi-nadab. Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the fatherof Salmon, Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab. Boazbecame the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth. Obed became thefather of Jesse, Jesse the father of David the king. David became thefather of Solomon, whose mother had been the wife of Uriah. Solo-mon became the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah,Abijah the father of Asaph. Asaph became the father of Jehoshaphat,Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, Joram the father of Uzziah. Uzziahbecame the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the fatherof Hezekiah. Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh, Manasseh thefather of Amos, Amos the father of Josiah. Josiah became the father ofJechoniah and his brothers at the time of the Babylonian exile. After theBabylonian exile, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel, Shealtielthe father of Zerubbabel, Zerubbabel the father of Abiud. Abiud be-came the father of Eliakim, Eliakim the father of Azor, Azor the fatherof Zadok. Zadok became the father of Achim, Achim the father of Eli-
ud, Eliud the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan,Matthan the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband ofMary. Of her was born Jesus who is called the Messiah. Thus the totalnumber of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen generations;from David to the Babylonian exile, fourteen generations; from Davidto the Babylonian exile, fourteen to Messiah, fourteen generations.
THE FAMILY TREE
We now shift gears, so to speak, moving into the nal days of prep-aration for the great celebration of Christmas, the Incarnation of Godin Jesus Christ. The focus moves from John the Baptizer to Mary. Theelaborate genealogy of Matthew satises the primitive cultural and re-ligious need to establish the lineage of his storys heroes. (Turning tothe Old Testament and looking up all the characters in the genealogy isa wonderful way to pass the day when youre snowed in!) Notice thereare ve women listed: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, the wide of Uriah (Bath-sheba), and of course Mary. Each held a unique place in the history ofGods people, well apart from ordinary human expectation. It is in thistradition that Christ enters the human story. PRAYER: I bring shamedown on people, O Lord, and lay heavy guilt upon them for what I see
are violations of the rules of morality. But you, O God, light up mydarkness with your justice and your salvation. Let me be generous inmy own understanding of the actions of others. Amen. Action: Imag-ine that Jesus chose to come again today. Among the people you know,who would he choose to be the instrument of his coming? (BetweenSundays by Paul Boudreau, published by Paulines.

Flashback: When
the result of the May
2010 elections was of-
cially announced, the
rst ever rally of an
electoral protest whichwas participated in by
some 4,000 (150,000
Biliran population)
was held in front of the
capitol of the capital
town of Naval, accord-
ing to an earlier report
made by the Center
for People Empower-
ment and Governnace
(CENPEG) in its pro-
ject 30-30, a European
Union funded research
project. It documented
the alleged failure of
the SMARTMATIC2010 Automated Elec-
tions System (AES),
report in various parts
of the country, includ-
ing Biliran. CENPEG
conducted an investi-
gation of the alleged
checking in Biliran
weeks after the 2010
election.
The Biliran Case
of the recently released
article in the IMPACT
magazine wrote a de-
tailed account how the
alleged modes to frus-trate the choice of the
people was done. It is
a detailed report.
-oOo-
An unconrmed re-
port was received by
the OBSERVER that
concerned Board of
Election Inspectors in
contested areas in Bil-
iran literally were liter-
ally in tears aware prob-
ably of the fate to their
professions, (teachers)
if charges will be led
against them as suggest-ed by knowledgeable
quarters in the HRET
if nally proven they
have participated in the
alleged electoral cheat-
ing. This happened after
they were grilled dur-
ing one of the hearings.
-oOo-
Since this is just
the few only election
protest that is being
heard at the House of
Representative Elec-
tion Tribunal, it is
possible that this can
be resolved before the
2013 elections, many
believe.
Dawning of Christmas
Simbang gabiSimula
ng pasko sa puso ng lahing
Pilipino. Siyam na gabing
gumigising sa tugtog ng
kampanang walang tigil
Ding dong ding dong ding
dong So go the lines in a
famous local Christmas
song commonly heard of
among children of schoolage when the dawn mass
fast approaches. Indeed
Christmas is coming nine
days after the start of the
simbang gabi, a tradition in
the Roman Catholic Church
in the Philippines.
The simbang gabi is a
devotional nine-day dawn
mass from 16th to 24th of
every December. The mass
usually commences at 4
oclock or 5 oclock dawn
for which devotees begin
ocking parish churches
as soon as the cock crows
at around 3 oclock early
dawn. Recently, however,
anticipated masses for the
early morning (dawn) mass
are said in some parishes.
Some say that these an-
ticipated masses, held at
8 oclock in the evening
staring December 15th, are
aptly called simbang gabi,
while the dawn masses
as misa de gallo (liter-
ally, rooster mass) and the
Christmas Eve mass as misa
de aguinaldo (literally, gift
mass) where special offer-
ings are usually made dur-
ing the Holy Mass intended
for the poor.
In the Wikipedia it is
stated, The Simbang Gabi
originated in the early days
of Spanish rule as a practi-
cal compromise for farmers
who started their day before
sunrise to avoid the heat in
the elds. Priests began to
say Mass in the early morn-
ings instead of the evening
novenas more common
in the rest of the Hispan-
ic world. This cherished
Christmas custom eventu-
ally became a distinct fea-
ture of Philippine culture
and is a symbol of sharing.
It added, on the other hand,
that this nine-day series of
masses is practiced by Ro-man Catholics and Aglipay-
ans is in honor of the Bless-
ed Virgin Mary, the mother
of Jesus whose birthday it
is being celebrated on De-
cember 25th.
While a religious fervor,
the simbang gabi is excit-
edly awaited by parishion-
ers for worldly reasons.
Wikipedia posts, Today,
local delicacies are readily
available in the churchs
premises for the parishion-
ers. The iconic puto bum-
bong, bibingka, suman
and other rice pastries are
cooked on the spot. Latik
and yema are sweets sold to
children, while biscuits like
uraro, barquillos, lenguade gato and otap are also
available. Kape Barako, a
very strong coffee grown in
the province of Batangas),
hot tsokolate, or salabat
(a tisane of ginger) are the
main drinks. Arrz caldo
(rice and chicken porridge),
soups and papait (goat bile
stew found in the Ilocos re-
gion) soups abound.
The simbang gabi (ac-
tually are novena or nine-
day masses) is part of the
Roman Catholic Churchs
way of preparing the pa-rishioners to the rst com-
ing of Christ. It is setting
the mood for the biggest
day of rejoicing in Decem-
ber Christmas Day. These
masses are categorically
part of the Advent tradition.
However, Rev. Fr. Ama-
deo Alvero, the Palo Arch-
diocese director for Social
Communications and the
Archdiocesan media coor-
dinator, said that the best
way to prepare for Christ-
mas is having a contriteheart and reconciling ones
self with God the Creator
and with his fellowman.
Mourning comes before
rejoicing, which explains
why in Holy Masses, the
ceremony starts with con-
fession of sins before prais-
ing God. Furthermore, he
said, the true happiness in
Christmas is not simply the
partying and gift-giving. It
is being worthy to celebrate
Christs birthday.

THE Presidential
E lec to r a l T r ib u n a l
(PET) has nally given
p e r m i s s i o n t o t h e
Commission on Elections(Comelec) to re-use the
ballot boxes used in the
pol l protes t of losing
2010 candidate Manuel
Roxas II against Vice
President Jejomar Binay
in the May 2013 polls.
In a 15-page resolution,
the PET granted the
request of the Comelec
to retrieve the 57,255
out of the 76,340 ballot
boxes involved in the
protest of the Secretaryof Department of Interior
and Local Government
(DILG).
PET allows and
authorizes the Comelec to
immediately commence
the retrieval process of
the ballot boxes from the
76,340 areas/precincts
that functioned during the
May 10, 2010 elections,
and the subsequent
transfer of their contents
to designated ballot
boxes identified as theCommit tee Boxes,
said the resolution dated
December 4 but sent to
the Comelec December
12.
Under the agreement,
Comelec shall transfer
the ballot contents of the
to-be-retrieved boxes to
the 19,085 ballot boxes,
which shall be known as
Committee Boxes.
T h e P E T a l s o
agreed to adopt the
guidelines proposed by
the commission on theretrieval of the ballot
boxes and transfer of the
ballots.
These include the
creation of committees for
each municipality, where
the ballot boxes are to be
retrieved; an inventory for
each ballot box; presence
of citizens arms during
the transfer; wrapping and
sealing of all contents of
ballot boxes; Committee
Boxes to be kept undercustody of the city/
municipal treasurers; and
emptied ballot boxes to be
collected by the Provincial
Election Supervisor to be
submitted to the Comelec.
Earlier in the year, the
Comelec had requested
the PET to allow them
to re-use the ballot boxes
involved in the poll protest
of Roxas in a bid to save
money from purchasing
new ballot boxes.
The poll body saidit needs all the savings
it can have considering
that it was only given by
Congress a total of P7
billion for the automation
of the May 2013 elections.
I t can be recalled
that Roxas, back in July2010, had led an election
protest before the PET the
victory of Binay in the
May 2010 elections.
In late November, the
Comelec Special Bids
and Awards Committee
(SBAC) already openedthe public bidding for the
ballot boxes to be used in
the 2013 polls.
In its Invitation to Bid,
the SBAC noted that it has
an Approved Budget for
the Contract (ABC) worth
P290,214,400.However, the SBAC
stressed that the Comelecreserves the right toreduce the number of unitsand corresponding ABC,subject to the decision ofthe PET.
With the decision,Sa r m ien to sa id th eComelec will be able tosave millions of pesossince they are alreadyreducing the budget forthe ballot boxes.
He said the Comeleccan save almost P200million because of thePET decision since theyonly need to purchasethe over 20,000 newballot boxes along withthe retrieval operationexpenses for the old ballotboxes amounting to aboutP56 million.
Definitely, now wecan save some money,said Sarmiento noting thatthese can be used for theprocurement of equallyimportant supplies andservices for the 2013
polls. (SUNNEX)

Connecticut school shooting:
Obama calls for actionPresident Obama has
urged meaningful ac-
tion against gun crime
in the US after a school
shooting in Connecticut
left 27 dead, including20 children.
An emotional Mr
Obama spoke of his
overwhelming grief
over the deaths at New-
towns Sandy Hook El-
ementary School.
The suspected gun-
man, widely identied
as 20-year-old Adam
Lanza, is among the
dead. Before going to the
school he had also killed
his mother at their home.
It is the second dead-
liest shooting attack at a
US school or university.
In 2007, a student at
Virginia Tech university
killed 32 people and in-
jured many more.
The children at Sandy
Hook Elementary were
aged between ve and
10.
Police Lt Paul Vance
said 18 children were
pronounced dead at the
school, and two died af-ter being taken to hospi-
tal.
Six adults were also
killed - including the
schools principal Dawn
Hochsprung - and the
gunman died at the
scene, apparently after
shooting himself.
His mother was found
dead at their home on
Yogananda Street - some
unconrmed reports sug-
gested she had worked at
the school.Broken hearts
As Mr Obama reacted
with a televised state-
ment, he paused several
times to wipe tears from
his eyes.
As a country we
have been through this
too many times, he said.Were going to have
to come together andtake meaningul actionto prevent more trag-
edies like this, regardlesso the politics.Te president oered
condolences to the ami-lies o both the victimsand survivors.
Our hearts are bro-ken today, or the par-
ents, grandparents, sis-ters and brothers o thesechildren, and or the
amilies o the adults whowere lost, he said.Fridays shooting is
the third major gun at-tack in the US in 2012.
In July an attackerkilled 12 people at a pre-miere o a Batman lmin Aurora, Colorado. InAugust six people died ata Sikh temple in Wiscon-sin.
Te deaths havesparked resh debate overthe countrys gun laws.
In Washington onFriday night, protest-ers gathered outside theWhite House to call ortighter gun controls.
New York Mayor Mi-chael Bloomberg, alsocalled or action.
We have heard all therhetoric beore, he said.
What we have notseen is leadership - notrom the White Houseand not rom Congress,he said. Tat must endtoday.
American fags onWashingtons CapitolHill were lowered tohal-mast and about 200people held a candlelight
vigil or the victims.A vigil and a memorial
service were held in New-town, a prosperous towno about 27,000 people.
Never imaginedFridays killings took
place in two rooms with-
in a single section o theschool, police have said.Te shooting lasted just aew minutes.
As they heard theshots, teachers in otherparts o the building triedto protect children by
locking doors and usher-ing them into closets.
I told them we had to
be absolutely quiet, be-cause I was just so araidi he did come in, then hewould hear us and juststart shooting the door,said teacher Kaitlin Roig.
I said to them, I needyou to know that I loveyou all very much andthat its going to be okay,because I thought thatwas the last thing theywere ever going to hear.
Fire-ghters who ar-rived to evacuate the
school reportedly toldchildren to close theireyes and run past theschools oce as they le.
Te gunman wasdressed in combat clothesis thought to have beencarrying at least twohandguns.
A rife was ound ina vehicle outside theschool. Tree other gunswere also recovered. O-cials said his mother hadbought several weapons
legally.Witnesses said the
gunman said nothingduring the attack.
Ive never imagineda thing like that couldhappen here, said DavidConnors, whose threechildren were at theschool during the shoot-ing and were unharmed.
Early reports named24-year-old Ryan Lanza,o Hoboken, New Jersey,as the gunman, but un-
named ocials later saidhis brother Adam was thesuspect.
Ryan Lanza was ques-tioned by police, US me-dia reported, but has notbeen named as a suspect. (from the wires)
Japan general election in fnal day
of campaigningCandidates in the Japa-
nese general election onSunday have been makingtheir nal pleas for votes.
The Liberal DemocraticParty (LDP) appears poisedto oust the Democratic Par-ty (DPJ) after only threeyears in ofce, with formerPM Shinzo Abe likely to re-turn to the top job.
Mr Abe told voters out-side Tokyo he would re-store economic growth andrestore pride in the country.
But many voters re-main undecided, amid dis-illusionment in Japan over
politics.Keiko Seki was listen-
ing to Mr Abes address in
Wako, north of the capital,but was unconvinced: Ind this election very dif-cult to decide who to votefor, she told the AssociatedPress.
Mr Abe has made theeconomy a central plankof his campaign, promisingto boost public spending toend the 20-year slump.
But he has also prom-ised a more assertive for-eign policy at a time whentensions with China arerunning high.
We want to restore aJapan where children are
proud to have been bornhere, he told voters.
Nuclear debateMr Abes centre-right
LDP was swept from ofceby the DPJ in 2009, end-ing more than 50 years ofalmost unbroken rule. TheDPJ promised more welfarespending and a better socialsafety net, but struggled todeliver amid the economicdownturn and 11 March2011 earthquake and tsu-nami.
It has also seen multipleleadership changes - Yoshi-
hiko Noda is the third DPJprime minister since 2009.He lost public support
over the move to doublesales tax, something he saidwas necessary to tackle Ja-
pans massive debt.The debate over nuclear
energy, restarting suspend-ed reactors and his per-
ceived ip-opping on theissue have also affected his
popularity.Mr Abe served as prime
minister from 2006-2007before stepping aside amidplummeting poll numbers,citing illness.
He and his party saynuclear energy has a roleto play in resource-poorJapans future. Mr Abehas also called for a toughstance on the territorial rowwith China over East ChinaSea islands that both coun-tries claim.
Latest gures indicatethat the LDP will win aclear majority, togetherwith its traditional ally,the New Komeito Party.
Another party in themix is the right-wing Ja-pan Restoration Party,led by two high-prolepopulist leaders, contro-
versial right-wing ormerokyo Governor ShintaroIshihara and Osaka May-or oru Hashimoto.
Mr Ishihara - whoseplan to buy the disputedEast China Sea islandsusing okyo governmentunds reignited the terri-
PM Yoshihiko Noda (L) faces a challenge from Shinzo Abe
torial row - wants Japanto take a more muscularstance on the issue. Butsupport or the party
waned somewhat amidambiguity over its nucle-ar policy.
Another new party, ledby Shiga governor YukikoKada, wants to phase outnuclear power in a dec-ade. Former DPJ heavy-weight Ichiro Ozawa hasthrown his support be-hind this party.

Huge Asteroid to Pass EarthA giant asteroid will
make a yby of Earth over
the next few days, and
armchair astronomers can
watch the action live on
their computers.
The near-Earth aster-
oid 4179 Toutatis, which
is about 5km wide, will
zoom within 7 million km
of Earth during its closest
approach. Thats too far
away to pose any impact
threat on this pass, but
close enough to put on a
pretty good show through
top-notch telescopes, re-
searchers say.
And some of those
scopes will be tracking
Toutatis movements forthe benet of skywatch-
ers around the world. The
online Slooh Space Cam-
era and Virtual Telescope
Project, for example, will
both stream live, free foot-
age of the asteroid from
professional-quality obser-
vatories.
Slooh will webcast Tou-
tatis views from a scope in
the Canary Islands off the
west coast of Africa begin-
ning at 3 p.m. EST today.
Another show will follow
at 2am Thursday morning,with footage from an in-
strument in Arizona. You
can watch them at Sloohs
website.
Both shows will feature
commentary from Slooh
president Patrick Paolucci
and Astronomy Magazine
columnist Bob Berman.
Slooh technical staff
will let the public follow
this fast-moving asteroid in
two different ways. In one
view, the background stars
will be tracked at their own
rate and the asteroid will
appear as an obvious streak
or a moving time-lapse dot
across the starry eld, Ber-
man said in a statement.
In a second view, Tou-
tatis itself will be tracked
and held steady as a tiny
pointlike object, whileEarths spin makes the
background stars whiz by
as streaks, Berman added.
Both methods will make
the asteroids speedy orbital
motion obvious as it passes
us in space.
Meanwhile, the Virtual
Telescope Project which
is run by Gianluca Masi of
Bellatrix Astronomical Ob-
servatory in Italy will
offer its own free webcast
Friday (Dec. 14) at 7am,
AEDT, complete with com-
mentary from astrophysi-
cists.
You can see that video
stream here.
Asteroid Toutatis was
rst viewed in 1934, then
ofcially discovered in1989. It makes one trip
around the sun every four
years.
The Minor Planet Center
in Cambridge, Mass., lists
Toutatis as a potentially
hazardous object, meaning
that it could pose a threat
to our planet at some point
in the future. The current
yby is no cause for con-
cern, however. At its clos-
est approach, which comes
at 5.40pm AEDT Wednes-
day, Toutatis will still be
18 times farther away from
Earth than the moon is.
Toutatis would cause
catastrophic damage if it
ever did slam into Earth. In
general, scientists think a
strike by anything at least
0.6 miles (1 km) wide could
have global consequences,most likely by altering the
worlds climate for many
years to come.
For comparison, the
asteroid thought to have
wiped out the dinosaurs 65
million years ago was an
estimated 6 miles (10 km)
across.

tweets are quickly becom-
ing the lines of communica-
tion between fans, athletes
and sporting organisations.
Perth Glory and NewZealand striker, Shane
Smeltz, uses twitter.
It is great you know to
tell fans and supporters ex-
actly what you are thinking
and sometimes you give a
different side to things, he
said.
Smeltz is one sportsman
who regularly interacts
with the social medium.
Fans get to learn a lit-
tle bit about who you are
and what youre thinking
off the pitch, he said.
The West Coast Eagles,Fremantle Dockers, Perth
Scorchers, Perth Wildcats,
Western Force and Perth
Glory are some of WAs
major teams using twit-
ter in a big way to connect
with thousands of follow-
ers.
ABC Grandstand
broadcaster Corbin Mid-
dlemas explains why.
Theyre like the mod-
ern day hero, fax or auto-
graph, he said.
A lot of people like to
talk to their heroes before
they go out to bat or com-
pete at the Olympics, and I
think the players appreciate
to be able to hear from the
fans, and most of it is en-
couragement.
Cricket Australia has
over 100,000 followers.
Its strategic commu-
nications adviser, Peter
Young, explains the ration-
ale behind wanting to see
players tweet.
We encourage our
players to use twitter to
engage with our fans, he
said.
We talk to our players
about coming out from be-
hind the helmet and letting
fans see who they are and
what they think.
He says news breaks so
quickly now.
The 24 hour news cy-
cle is now dead, its more
like a 24 second media cy-
cle, he said.
Tweets gone bad
In its earlier stages Twit-
ter was seen as another
social media platform like
Facebook or Myspace but it
has quickly become a direct
avenue of communication
between fan and athlete.
With the number of poli-
ticians, public gures and
athletes now contributing to
the conversation, more care
is being taken to manage
and monitor what is pub-
lished.
We have got a few boys
who are on twitter so I think
it is difcult and you have
to be careful, says Shane
Smeltz.
Mr Young says there are
controls in place.
The players under their
contract with Cricket Aus-
tralia have public comment
obligations which cover
their twitter comment as
well as their more tradition-
al comment to a newspaper
or a radio, he said.
We train our players;
they are very, very media
literate.
They are used to talking
in public and we trust them
to get it right but in saying
that we are aware that from
time to time things will go
wrong.
When they do, we take
a coaching, mentoring ap-
proach with the playerrather than a disciplinary
approach.
Controversial tweets by
athletes have led to wider
media coverage.
Recently former Aus-
tralian rugby union star,
David Campese, tweeted
about the suitability of a fe-male Fairfax reporter cov-
ering rugby.
Swimmer Stephanie
Rice raised eyebrows when
she tweeted pictures of
herself in a new revealing
swimsuit.
And, rugby player
Quade Cooper has found
himself in hot water withtweets about the adminis-
tration of the Wallabies and
its direction.
One of the things we
do make players aware of
is twitter is a public place,
Mr Young said.
So you need to think
about that when you are
talking in the twittersphere
but having said that we ac-
tively encourage them to
have those conversations.
Smeltz says players
need to think before they
tweet.Things burn you at the
time and you can sort of
jump at things and throw
it straight on twitter and
I think you do need to be
careful, I think there is a lot
of people sort of listening
and watching, he said.
As a player you do have
the duties to uphold the
game as well so its a tough
one but I guess you do haveto be careful at times.
Breaking news
Twitter is also forcing
the media to take note.
In June last year, NBA
star Shaquille ONeal used
the medium to announce to
the world he was retiring
from basketball.
We live in an instant
news environment, says
Mr Young.
Twitter is often the rstwe see of news being re-
ported on us.
Last week Twitter was
all a buzz about rumours
that Ricky Ponting was
about to retire, a good hour
before he held the press
conference to conrm he
was departing the game.
That was something
that was broken by twitter
and quickly evolved yet we
were at the scene and sitting
10-15 metres away from
them and not knowing,
says Mr Middlemas.
It amazing how much
is across twitter these days
and it is generally when
people are talking about
it on twitter, something is
happening.

Light smoking doubles sudden
heart death risk in womenWomen who are light
smokers - including those
who smoke just one ciga-
rette a day - double their
chance of sudden death, a
large study suggests.The research tracked the
health of 101,000 US nurs-
es over three decades.
L i g h t - t o - m o d e r a t e
smokers were twice as
likely to die of sudden heart
problems than those who
had never smoked.
But those who quit
smoking saw their risk be-
gin to go back down with-
in years, a journal of the
American Heart Associa-
tion reports.
Raised risk
During the study, therewere 315 sudden cardiac
deaths - where the heart un-
expectedly stops working.
In people aged 35 oryounger, this is usuallybecause o a heart condi-tion that runs in the am-ily.
But in people who areolder than this - as mosto the nurses in the studywere - it can be the rstsign o coronary heartdisease, where the hearts
arteries become blockedby atty deposits.
O the 315 suddendeaths in the study, 75were among currentsmokers, 148 were amongrecent or past smok-ers and 128 occurred inpeople who had neversmoked.
Reason to quitAer taking into ac-
count other heart riskactors, such as high
blood pressure, highcholesterol and amilyhistory o heart disease,Dr Roopinder Sandhuand colleagues oundthe women who smokedwere twice as likely todie suddenly even i theysmoked light-to-moder-ate amounts - betweenone and 14 cigarettes aday.
For every ve years ocontinued smoking, therisk went up by 8%.
But women who quitsaw their risk all to thato someone who had nev-er smoked, aer 20 yearso cessation.
Dr Sandhu, o the the
University o Alberta,Canada, said: What thisstudy really tells womenis how important it is tostop smoking. Te ben-ets in terms o suddencardiac death reductionare there or all women,not just those with estab-lished heart disease.
It can be dicult toquit. It needs to be a long-term goal. Its not alwayseasily achievable and it
may take more than oneattempt.
Ellen Mason, sen-ior cardiac nurse at theBritish Heart Founda-tion, said: Tis studyshows that smoking just
a couple o cigarettes aday could still seriouslyaect your uture health.
As we approach thenew year, many o us willbe making resolutionsand giving up smokingwill be top o the list orlots o people.
I youre thinkingo quitting and need anudge, this research addsto the wealth o evidencethat stopping smoking is
the single best thing youcan do or your hearthealth.
A recent study in theLancet o 1.2 millionwomen ound those whogave up smoking by theage o 30 would almostcompletely avoid therisks o dying early romtobacco-related diseases.

Olympian lifespan possible for allThe longevity Olym-
pians enjoy is within the
reach of everyone, experts
say.
Research published on
the British Medical Jour-
nal (BMJ) website suggests
athletes live 2.8 years long-er on average than the aver-
age lifespan.
The research indicated
those who took part in non-
contact sports such as cy-
cling, rowing and tennis en-
joyed the longest life of all.
But the general popula-
tion could have a similar
survival advantage by
doing a little more exercise,
experts said.
The conclusion by two
public health professors
came after they reviewed
two studies of Olympic ath-letes published by the BMJ
website.
The studies looked at
the lifespan and health of
25,000 athletes who com-
peted in Games dating back
to 1896.
Those taking part in
contact sports such as box-
ing had the least advantage,
while cyclists and rowers
enjoyed the best health.
But the researchers also
found those who playedlower intensity sports such
as golf enjoyed a boost.
Public health failure
Possible explanations
put forward for the nding
included genetic and life-
style factors and the wealth
and status that comes with
sporting success.
However, the ndings
prompted public health ex-
perts Prof Adrian Bauman,
from Australias Sydney
University, and Prof StevenBlair, from South Carolina
University in the US, to
suggest others could live as
long as Olympic athletes.
The recommended lev-
el of physical activity for
adults is 150 minutes of
moderate to vigorous exer-
cise each week.
Studies suggest people
who manage that amount or
more live for up to several
years longer than those that
do not.Writing for the BMJ
website, the professors
said: Although the evi-
dence points to a small
survival effect of being an
Olympian, careful reec-
tion suggests that similar
health benets and longev-
ity could be achieved by all
of us through regular physi-
cal activity.
We could and should
all award ourselves that
personal gold medal.
But they said govern-ments were still not doing
enough to promote the ben-
ets of physical activity,
calling it a public health
failure. (from the wires)
Male manual workers live longerLife expectancy for
manual workers may now
be starting to catch up with
non-manual workers, the
Ofce for National Statis-
tics (ONS) suggests.
From 1997 to 2005,
male life expectancy rose
faster for manual than non-
manual workers.
For women, life expec-
tancy rose but at a similar
rate for those in both manu-
al and non-manual jobs.
The ONS warned though
that its gures should be
treated with care as they
might not reect a perma-
nent trend.
Some degree of varia-
tion is to be expected as a
result of sampling and the
results for the latest period,
while interesting, are not
conclusive evidence of an
underlying change in the
pattern of inequalities,
said the ONS.
Catching up
Stewart Ritchie, Presi-
dent of the Faculty of Ac-
tuaries, said the gures
were possibly the rst evi-
dence of changing lifestyles
among manual workers.
A lot of the drag on im-
provements in longevity is
about smoking, drinking,
eating and exercising, he
said.
A lot of us have expect-
ed for some time that man-
ual workers would change
their habits and start catch-
ing up.
Maybe this is the rst
evidence, he said.
Reverse trend
In the past few dec-
ades, life expectancy has
increased faster for those
in non-manual jobs than
for those in manual occupa-
tions.
But the ONS gures
suggest things may havechanged.
Comparing the years
1997-2001 with 2002-2005,
it found that male 65-year-
old non-manual workers
saw their life expectancy
rise by 0.8 years.
By contrast, male manu-
al workers saw their life ex-
pectancy go up even faster,
by 1.2 years.
A close look at the
gures suggests that in
the past few years life ex-
pectancy at 65 has not im-
proved at all for men in the
highest social group doing
professional jobs, pointed
out Stephen Yeo of the ac-
tuaries Watson Wyatt.
For women, improve-
ments in life expectancy
were similar regardless of
whether they were manual
or non-manual workers.
Profound
The trend for men and
women in all social groups
to live longer is well estab-
lished, and in recent years
seems to have been accel-
erating.This has profound im-
plications for all aspects ofsociety.
For instance, state, oc-cupational and private pen-sion schemes will have to
pay out to their pensionersfor far longer than original-ly anticipated.
Back in the period be-tween 1972 and 1976, malenon-manual workers could,at birth, expect to live to 71
while their manual counter-parts would live, on aver-age, to 69 years.
By 2002-05 the non-manual men had seen theirlive expectancy at birthrise by 8 years and manualworkers by 7 years.

China submits East China Sea islands claim to UN
China has submitted
to the UN a detailed ex-
planation of its claims
to a disputed area of the
East China Sea.
It argues that certain
geological features prove
its territory extends outto a group of islands near
Japan.
A UN commission of
geological experts will
examine Chinas submis-
sion but does not have
the authority to resolve
conicting claims.
Beijing and Tokyo
have long laid claim to
the islands, known as
Senkaku in Japan and
Diaoyu in China.
Tensions ared up
again in September af-ter the Japanese govern-
ment bought three of the
islands from their private
Japanese owner, trig-
gering public protests in
some Chinese cities.Since then Chinese
ships have been sailing inand out o waters aroundthe islands, promptingwarnings rom Japan.
Tere was anoth-er diplomatic spat on
Tursday aer a Chinesegovernment plane fewnear the disputed islands.

In its submission tothe UN, China argues:Physiognomy and geo-logical characteristicsshow that the continentalshel in the East ChinaSea is the natural prolon-
gation o Chinas land ter-ritory.

Asia to eclipse US and
Europe by 2030 - US reportAsia will wield more
global power than the US
and Europe combined by
2030, a forecast from the
US intelligence community
has found.
Within two decades Chi-na will overtake the US as
the worlds largest econo-
my, the report adds.
It also warns of slower
growth and falling living
standards in advanced na-
tions with ageing popula-
tions.
Global Trends 2030, is-
sued to coincide with Mr
Obamas second term, says
it aims to promote strategic
thinking.
Published every four
years, the report from the
National Intelligence Coun-cil (NIC) aims to draw to-
gether a wide sweep of
megatrends driving trans-
formation in the world.
Slow relative decline
The NIC suggests that
by 2030, Asia will have
more overall power than
the US and Europe com-
bined - taking into account
population size, gross do-
mestic product (GDP), mil-
itary spending and invest-
ment in technology.
China alone will prob-
ably have the largest econ-omy, surpassing that o theUnited States a ew yearsbeore 2030, the reportsays.
Meanwhile, the econo-mies o Europe, Japan, and
Russia are likely to continuetheir slow relative declines.
But the report says itdoes not anticipate thatChina will emerge as a su-perpower in the mould o
the US, orging coalitions totake on international issues.
Speaking at a newsbrieng, Mathew Burrows,counsellor to the NationalIntelligence Council said:Being the largest economicpower is important... [but]it isnt necessarily the larg-est economic power thatalways is going to be the su-perpower.
Te megatrends iden-tied by the report includeindividual empowermentand transer o power rom
the West to the global Eastand South.
It highlights ageing soci-eties and a growing middleclass, as well as diminish-ing natural resources, as keyglobal themes.
Within the next twodecades the US will achieveenergy independence, andthe size o urban popula-tions around the world willrise sharply, the report says.
But, the report adds,questions about the glob-al economy, governance,
evolving methods o con-fict, regional spillover, newtechnologies and the uturerole o the US could dra-matically impact the globalpicture over the next 20years. (from the wires)
Nelson Mandela undergoes
operation to remove gallstonesSouth Africas rst black
president, Nelson Mandela,has had an operation to re-move gallstones, according
to a government statement.The operation was suc-cessful and Mr Mandela isrecovering.
Mr Mandela, who is 94,was admitted to hospital lastSaturday after suffering arecurrence of a lung infec-tion.
Tests revealed the pres-ence of gallstones and doc-tors treating Mr Mandeladecided to remove themonce he had recovered fromthe infection.
The statement said:
This morning, 15 Decem-ber 2012, the former presi-dent underwent a procedurevia endoscopy to have the
gall stones removed. Theprocedure was successfuland (Mr Mandela) is recov-ering.
A gallstone is an ac-cumulation of crystals inthe gall bladder. If left un-treated, it can become life-threatening because of therisks of secondary infec-tions such as pancreatitis.
Mr Mandela is regardedby most South Africansas the father of the nation,having inspired them toght for democracy.
He led the struggleagainst white-minorityrule before being electedthe rst black president in1994.
Despite being impris-oned for 27 years by theapartheid government, heforgave his former enemiesand urged South Africansof all races to work togetherand seek reconciliation. rom the wires
