UAE Ministers and financial leaders to discuss economic growth ...

S&P's annual invitation-only gathering of business leaders, global influencers and finance professionals will focus on the financial community's critical role in driving sustainable economic development in the Middle East.

His Excellency Sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansoori, Minister of Economy, stated, "With the region poised to enter a new cycle of growth, we look forward to the financial community's participation and contributions in putting the region's economies back on a high growth track. The S&P Leaders' Forum is a significant event that in many ways anticipates the agenda and sets the tone for the MENA financial community in the coming year."

Stuart Anderson, Managing Director & Regional Head Middle East at Standard & Poor's, said, "The financial community is playing an increasingly active part in economic development in the region with their role evolving toward sustainable wealth creation. Balancing growth with risk management and governance is vital for driving investment in today's increasingly regulated and challenging markets. The region's financial community will play a substantial role in achieving this essential balance. The S&P Leaders' Forum offers a platform for leading issuers, asset managers, economists, investors and business and policy leaders, to collectively discuss and share knowledge on how they can enhance sustainable growth post financial crisis."

The financial sector is currently estimated to generate over 7% of the MENA region's GDP. In the GCC alone, the sector is estimated to contribute $100bn to the economy. With financial services accounting for roughly 40% of market capitalization and employing over 200,000 people in the region, it is a powerful engine for economic growth.

The S&P Leaders' Forum will also discuss how the financial community can promote financial inclusion and job generation in regional economies; the vital need for aligning investment strategies with market needs; strategies for tapping capital markets in vital economic sectors; cross-border growth and investment; and charting the economic course for 2013 and beyond.

S&P's global leadership team including Douglas Peterson, President; Dr. Paul Sheard, Chief Global Economist & Head of Global Economics Research; and Dr. Moritz Kraemer, Head of Sovereign Ratings EMEA will speak at the Forum.

Supported by the Gulf Bond & Sukuk Association (GBSA), UAE Financial Services Association, UN Pearl Initiative, Middle East Private Equity Association and Middle East Investor Relations Society, the Forum will see over 300 participants from leading regional and international businesses, financial services providers, banks, family businesses, sovereign wealth funds, regulatory bodies and governments.

Through a mix of interactive discussions, audience interviews and questionnaires, the Forum will draw a range of opinions and ideas, which will contribute solutions for today's challenges and provide strategies for leveraging growth opportunities.

Robert Baur, Managing Director & Chief Economist at Principal Global Investors, said, "The US economy is emerging slowly from the after effects of its financial crisis, Europe is mired in a recession and growth in China is much slower than the country's two decade average. Under these circumstances, GCC investors should question who and what will drive global economic growth and when will business return to normal? The S&P Leaders' Forum is a great venue to hear valuable discussion on the future of the global economy and its potential for acceleration."

Hasan Al Jabri, Chief Executive Officer at SEDCO Capital, said, "We believe a combination of innovation and relationship depth is crucial to ride these turbulent times and inconsistent market conditions. We rely on our history of strong regional partnerships, expertise in asset allocation and selective global diversification and, as a significant co-investor, look forward to discuss these strategies at the S&P Leaders' Forum."

Marwan Al Turki, Partner at Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, said, "The fund raising environment for private equity funds remains challenging. Amongst the developed markets, the environment in Europe is tough and this, coupled with increased scrutiny by LPs of fund terms from a position of strength, has increased the length of fund raising cycles and led many sponsors to reconsider their plans. The position in emerging markets is mixed, with some regions such as MENA, effectively closed for business. This makes for a particularly interesting year ahead."

Other speakers at the Forum include H.E Abdullah S. Al Darmaki, Chief Executive Officer, Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development; Dr. Robert Baur, Managing Director & Chief Economist, Principal Global Investors; Dr. Farrukh Iqbal, Director MENA, The World Bank; Kito de Boer, Director, Public Sector and Social Sector MEA, Head of the McKinsey Center for Government, McKinsey & Company; Marwan Al Turki, Partner, Debevoise & Plimpton; Hasan Al Jabri, Chief Executive Officer, SEDCO Capital; Dr. Ahmed Heikal, Chairman, Citadel Capital; Dr. Farouk Soussa, Chief Economist (Emerging Markets), Citigroup; Dr. Jarmo Kotilane, Chief Economist of the Bahrain Economic Development Board; Dr. Karim El Solh, Chief Executive Officer of Gulf Capital; and Harry Chopra, Managing Director, Global Services, S&P Capital IQ.

New tool aims to ensure software security policies reflect user needs

ScienceDaily (Oct. 30, 2012) ? Researchers from North Carolina State University and IBM Research have developed a new natural language processing tool that businesses or other customers can use to ensure that software developers have a clear idea of the security policies to be incorporated into new software products.

Specifically, the research focuses on access control policies (ACPs), which are the security requirements that software developers need to bear in mind when developing new software. For example, an ACP for a university grading program needs to allow professors to give grades to students, but should not allow students to change the grades.

"These ACPs are important, but are often buried amidst a lengthy list of other requirements that customers give to developers," says Dr. Tao Xie, an associate professor of computer science at NC State and co-author of a paper on the research. These requirements are written in "natural language," which is the conversational language that people use when talking or corresponding via the written word.

Incomplete or inaccurate ACP requirements can crop up, for example, if the customer writing the ACP requirements makes a mistake or doesn't have enough technical know-how to accurately describe a program's security needs.

A second problem is that programmers may misinterpret some ACP requirements, or overlook them entirely.

In collaboration with IBM Research, Xie's research team has developed a solution that uses a natural language processing program to extract the ACP requirements from a customer's overall list of requirements and translate it into machine-readable language that computers can understand and enforce.

After the ACPs are extracted, they can be run through Access Control Policy Tool (ACPT) -- also developed in Xie's research team in collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) -- which verifies and tests the ACPs and determines whether the ACP requirements are adequate to meet the security needs of the program.

Once the ACP requirements have been translated into machine-readable language, they can also be incorporated into a policy-enforcement "engine" in the final software product -- which ensures that ACPs cannot be overlooked by programmers.

"In general, developing a program that understands natural language text is very challenging," Xie says. "However, ACP requirements in software documents usually follow a certain style, using terms such as 'cannot be edited' or 'does not have the ability to edit.' Because ACPs tend to use such a limited number of phrases, it is much easier to develop a program that effectively translates natural language texts in this context."

It's a Virtual Console Halloween | Joystiq

Welcome to Living in the Past, a weekly column about what's new in old games. Now get off our lawn.

If you're going to be at home this Halloween, waiting to dispense candy and tinny Wilhelm screams to neighborhood children, why not pass the time with some spooky games? While it's easy to tell you to go play the latest zombie whatever or Castlevania, I am opting instead to mine the downloadable retro lineup of our most terrifying console: the Nintendo Wii.

There might still be some Castlevania.

Splatterhouse: A young woman is kidnapped and imprisoned in a monster-filled house, and her boyfriend is murdered in the same attack. Meanwhile, a man possessed by a demonic mask is destroying everything in sight. The twist is that the dead boyfriend is the possessed maniac, and is actually the protagonist of the piece.
Devil's Crush: Fight a transforming demon, dragons, giant skull monsters, undead knights and a weird druid-looking cult. In a pinball game. Devil's Crush is simultaneously the creepiest and the most metal album-cover like game in the era pre-Cr?e Ball.
Ghouls 'n Ghosts: Gotta have one of these on the list. These are the canonical Halloween games, starting in a graveyard and ending with your inevitable death, a lone skeleton in boxer shorts, murdered without remorse by a playful red demon. And speaking of Firebrand, you can get his own game, Gargoyle's Quest, on 3DS.
Castlevania: Rondo of Blood: All right, there's a Castlevania game on here. I warned you. But if you haven't played this lost gem of the series, it's worth me being a total hack in a Halloween feature. Originally released on the PC Engine CD-ROM in Japan, it didn't come to America until this Virtual Console release and the Dracula X Chronicles on PSP. Not only is it a great game, it's an interesting transitional step between vintage Castlevania and Symphony of the Night.
Kid Chameleon: It's a game about wearing masks! In the game, putting on a mask transforms you into a different person with different abilities. I can dress up like a knight in real life, but somehow it doesn't allow me to scale walls. On the upside, it might prevent me from dying when I try.
Summer Games II: Just kidding.

Let other people wear costumes and go to parties. You can sit at home on your couch and play old games! Those suckers may not ever see Devil's Crush's bonus stages because they're all too busy socializing or whatever.

Flood Insurance In Northeast Is Rare

Many homeowners who suffered losses because of flooding from Hurricane Sandy are likely to find themselves out of luck. Standard homeowners policies don't cover flooding damage, and the vast majority of homeowners don't have flood insurance.

Yet it's likely that many Northeasterners will purchase it in coming months, hoping they'll be covered the next time around, at a cost averaging around $600 a year.

That's what happened after Hurricane Irene triggered flooding across 13 Eastern states in August 2011. An annual survey by the insurance industry found that flood coverage in the Northeast rose to 14 percent of homeowners in May from 5 percent before Irene hit.

The head of the industry's Insurance Information Institute attributes the jump to Irene, which hit many inland areas where flooding is historically uncommon.

"Nothing sells flood insurance like a flood," says Robert Hartwig, the organization's president. "There will be many people in parts of the Northeast this week who will be very happy that they spent a few hundred dollars to buy flood insurance this year."

Nearly all flood coverage is purchased through the government's National Flood Insurance Program. Homeowners, renters and business owners in participating communities are eligible to purchase federally backed policies, typically through private insurers that market the coverage. Information is available at . www.FloodSmart.gov

Policies typically cost around $600 a year, but can start as low as $129 in low-risk areas, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which administers the program. The average claim paid last year was more than $28,000. Coverage is provided for up to $250,000 for the home itself, and $100,000 for possessions.

Homeowners who don't live in participating communities can buy private flood insurance, typically through so-called "excess coverage" to a homeowners policy.

To be sure, even with the expanded coverage, the vast majority of Northeasterners responding to the latest industry survey do not have a flood policy. That means if they suffer flood-related damages from Sandy, they will likely have to foot the bill. That's because typical homeowners and renters policies don't cover flooding. It's also common for homeowners who don't live in high-risk locations, such as coastal areas and inland flood zones, to go without coverage.

For those facing high risks, "Irene really was a warning shot to many people in the Northeast," Hartwig says.

Although most homes are unlikely to ever be damaged by flooding, nearly 20 percent of flood claims come from areas considered to be at moderate to low risk for flooding, according to the National Flood Insurance Program. In high-risk zones, flood insurance is required to get a mortgage from federally regulated or insured lenders. "High risk" areas are those deemed to face a 26 percent chance of flooding at some point during the term of a 30-year mortgage ? a roughly 1 percent chance of flooding in a given year.

It's unclear whether flood-related losses from Hurricane Sandy will surpass the nearly $1.3 billion paid out through the federal flood insurance program after Hurricane Irene. Flood claims came in from an area stretching from North Carolina to Vermont, with an average payout of $29,236. In terms of total flood losses, Irene was the fourth-costliest hurricane in the U.S., after Katrina in 2005, Ike in 2008 and Ivan in 2004.

Whether water damage is covered by a homeowners policy depends on how it came about. Standard policies cover structural and water damage only in limited circumstances ? for example, when a falling tree knocks a hole in a roof or breaks a window, allowing rain to fall inside. But homeowners are generally not covered for damages to the home or personal belongings when damage results from rising water. That includes water that seeps up from saturated ground through a basement floor, and storm surges that flood homes near the coastline. Sandy triggered surges along much of the East Coast.

Nationwide, 13 percent of homeowners have flood insurance according to the industry's latest annual survey. That marks a decline from 14 percent a year ago. The expansion in coverage in the Northeast was offset by declining coverage in the Midwest, which fell to 6 percent from 13 percent; and in the West, which dropped to 6 percent from 12 percent. The highest regional coverage rate was in the South, at 21 percent.

So far this year, the number of major floods has been below-average. Through September, the federal government had declared 15 major flood disasters, compared with 53 in all of 2011.

Official: Iraq searches Syria-bound Iranian plane

BAGHDAD (AP) ? Iraqi authorities forced an Iranian cargo plane heading to Syria to land for inspection in Baghdad to ensure it was not carrying weapons, an Iraqi official said Sunday.

It was the second such forced landing this month. The plane was released after the check.

The move appeared aimed at easing U.S. concerns that Iraq has become a route for shipments of Iranian military supplies that might could Syrian President Bashar Assad battle rebels in his country's civil war.

The head of the Iraqi Civil Aviation Authority, Nassir Bandar, said the inspection took place Saturday. The inspectors allowed the plane to continue its flight after they determined there were no weapons onboard, he said.

"Our experts found that the plane was carrying only medical supplies and foodstuffs," Bandar said, "so the flight was allowed to proceed."

Bandar said Iraqi authorities would continue searching planes suspected of transporting arms to Syria. Iraqi officials have repeatedly said they would not allow their country or airspace to be a corridor for arms shipments to either Syrian government forces or rebels.

Iraq ordered another Iranian cargo plane to land for inspection on Oct. 2. No weapons were found in that search, either.

Last month, Iraq banned a North Korea plane from crossing its airspace because of suspicions it was carrying weapons to Syria.

American officials have expressed concern that Iranian planes may be ferrying weapons over Iraq, and they have pressed Baghdad to take stronger action to ensure that no such transfers occur.

Also Sunday, police said three people were killed and eight others wounded when two bombs exploded near a market southeast of Baghdad.

Police said the simultaneous attacks Sunday morning took place in Madain, about 20 kilometers (14 miles) southeast of Baghdad, as shoppers started to arrive.

Medics in a nearby hospital confirmed the casualties. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to reporters.

Sunday's blasts followed a string of attacks that killed 40 people in the Iraqi capital a day earlier, including evening explosions near a market and a bus station in the Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City.

Saturday was the deadliest day from attacks in nearly six weeks.

Here Comes Windows 8, New Apple Hardware, and Super Home Theater PCs

Here Comes Windows 8, New Apple Hardware, and Super Home Theater PCs This week on the podcast we're talking about Windows 8, Apple's new hardware, freedom of speech on the internet, and how to make a good impression at a new job. We're also answering your questions about building a super home theater PC plus PVR combo, journaling in Dropbox, and printing from your Android tablet.

How to Listen to This Week's Episode

Here's how you can listen to our episode:

News and Top Stories

Here Comes Windows 8, New Apple Hardware, and Super Home Theater PCs

Apple Releases the iPad mini, 13" Retina MacBook Pro, New iMacs, and More
Apple released a bunch of new hardware at their event yesterday, most notable the iPad mini?a 7.9" version of the iPad. The key differences other than size are its weight and lack of a retina display. That said, early hands-on impressions say the screen still looks very sharp even if you can see pixels. Along with the iPad mini, Apple added a 13" MacBook Pro with retina display, a brand new design to its iMac line (now without an optical drive but with a SSD+HDD Fusion Drive), and upgraded Mac minis.

Windows 8 Is Coming!
Tomorrow, Microsoft releases Windows 8. Are you planning to upgrade? If you are, be sure to learn how to prepare your machine beforehand. There isn't too much to say about Windows 8 just yet, but you can find out ongoing coverage here.

What Exactly Is Freedom of Speech and How Does It Apply to the Internet?
There are a lot of people talking about freedom of speech on the internet these days. Some sites say they stand for free speech, but does the first amendment apply to them? Where exactly are you free to speak your mind? Alan has the answer.

This question leads to a discussion on anonymity, too, and last week Thorin discussed if it's possible to be truly anonymous online.

What's Expected of You on the First Day of a New Job
Not much is expected of you on the first day of a new job, actually. Show up on time, stay open-minded, ask questions, and learn from your mistakes. At least, that seems to be the consensus among real bosses and managers.

Questions and Answers

Here Comes Windows 8, New Apple Hardware, and Super Home Theater PCs Each week we answer five questions from readers and listeners. Here's what we tackled this week.

Should I dumb down my resume if I'm overqualified? Is it unethical to do that?
Yes, you probably should dumb it down. We've actually recommended this in the past. Overqualified is usually just a nice word for something worse, so if you're getting that sort of reaction you should consider applying with fewer impressive credentials.

No, it's not unethical. If you lied, maybe, but think about how you'd construct a resume in the first place. You can't put everything on it and you make deliberate choices about what you do put on it so that you'll look the best for that job. Leaving things out to make you look, quite possibly, worse isn't that much different. You shouldn't feel you're doing anything wrong by sharing the most applicable information for the position to which you're applying. If you're a good worker, it won't matter that you didn't mention your graduate degree (or whatever it is that's holding you back from getting work).

How do I print from Firefox on my Android tablet for free?
Google Cloud Print offers a great way to print from just about any device, but you need to use Chrome for it to work?in most cases. Firefox actually has an add-on called Cloud Printer that allows you to do the same thing from Firefox. Basically, it's a fix for this exact problem. That said, the download page has a few complaints noting that it doesn't work with the latest version of Firefox. As we haven't tested it, we're not sure if these are true or not, if the problem was fixed, or what version of Firefox ended up being the problem.

If it doesn't work, however, you can just use Dropbox to get the job done. Here are instructions for Windows and OS X.

Is there journaling software that works cross-platform and can sync entries with Dropbox?
If you want to sync typed text with Dropbox, you can use pretty much anything. Even Microsoft Word would work, since you're essentially just storing files in a folder. But if you want an app that keeps track of everything and doesn't store data on its server, out of your direct reach (e.g. Evernote), there are a few options?if you're only using plain text. Here they are:

Of course, that's just plain text. We don't know of a rich text option off-hand. If anyone else does, please post in the discussions at the end of this post, write us, or call (347) 687-8109 and leave us a message. We'll talk about any new suggestions in the next episode.

How can I add a PVR that can record multiple TV shows to my HTPC? Is it better to have a NAS separate from my HTPC or should I combine them both?
This question is actually far more complicated than stated above. There were a lot of other, related questions that went with it, too. For the full answer, be sure to listen to the podcast. It's just too much information to summarize here. That said, to solve the PVR problem, a cool tool called SimpleTV can do the trick.

Tips of the Week

Each week we talk about our favorite tips. Here are our picks for this week.

Alan's Pick: Take Your To-Do List Back to Basics
The to-do list is the crux of your daily productivity, but between all the task management apps out there, different productivity methods, and other miscellaneous life hacks, your to-do list has probably gotten cluttered and complicated. Here's how to take it back to basics and craft a to-do list that actually helps you get things done.

Whitson's Pick: Learn Hidden Crapware Tricks
Have you ever installed a program only to find that it came with some ridiculous, hidden crapware like the Ask.com toolbar? Don't feel bad, the installer probably tricked you into installing it. Weblog FreewareGenius details the most common tricks companies use, and how to avoid each one.

Dachis' Pick: Make Last-Minute Changes to Your Homework (or Other Submissions) with Dropbox
It's obviously best to complete homework, contest submissions, and general work on time, but life doesn't always allow for that. Redditor lowbrassman2000 realized that when you need to make alterations after the fact, you just need to send a Dropbox link.

Downloads of the Week

Here Comes Windows 8, New Apple Hardware, and Super Home Theater PCs Each week we talk about our favorite downloads. Here are our picks for this week.

Alan's Pick: Keymonk (Android)
Keymonk is a new Android keyboard replacement that takes the idea of swiping your fingers across letters to input text up a notch. Turn your phone sideways and use both thumbs to input text, or put it in portrait mode and use one-either way it's fast, accurate, and best of all, free.

Download Keymonk

Whitson's Pick: Unpolitic.me (Chrome)
The election is only two weeks away, which means the political arguments are getting pretty heated-particularly on Facebook, where intelligent discussion is something one can only dream of. Unpolitic.me takes those annoying political posts and replaces them with Instagram pictures.

Download Unpolitic.me

Dachis' Pick: Sworkit (iOS/Android/Web)
The randomized circuit training app Sworkit gets a big update today, adding a means to track your daily totals, calories burned, and a much needed visual overhaul of the app.

Download Sworkit

How Do I Submit a Question?

Here Comes Windows 8, New Apple Hardware, and Super Home Theater PCs There are three ways to send in your question:

Please keep your questions as brief as possible. This means about 3-5 sentences for emails and 30-60 seconds for calls and videos. Your questions can be specific, but broader questions are generally better because they'll apply to more people. For example, "how can I breathe new life into my old PDA?" is much better than "what can I do with an old HP iPAQ 210?" Either way, we look forward to hearing from you!

52% Say Internet Service is Their Home's Most Important Utility ...

Looking for new revenue opportunities

More than half (52 percent) of all U.S. consumers say Internet service is their home?s most important utility, according to a survey conducted by Verizon Communications as part of their Verizon FiOS Innovation Index project.

But Verizon?s research surveys go well beyond simply identifying who loves Internet access. Verizon?s real interest is identifying so-called ?borderless consumers,? ? customers who are seeking a seamless online experience and connectivity both inside and out of the home.

The convergence of wired and wireless broadband networks is a potentially enormous money-maker for Verizon, especially if you happen to be a Verizon Wireless customer.

?As the borderless consumer segment continues to grow, so will the need to identify, understand and anticipate what consumers truly want in their increasingly connected lives ? today and in the future,? said?Eric Bruno, vice president of FiOS strategy and development for Verizon.

Fran Shammo, Verizon?s chief financial officer, has previously told investors that monetizing data usage goes beyond text messaging and web browsing. The next frontier for enhanced revenue will come from the machine-to-machine segment. As consumers strive for a more connected future, enabling wireless connectivity for home appliances, automobiles, medical equipment, and other devices will create new revenue streams for the company.

Verizon?s new research surveys help the company target its future marketing to consumers most likely to be living the ?borderless lifestyle.??Are you? Here are some key attributes:

Above average income: Most are?college educated, own their home, and nearly half earn $75,000 or more annually, so they can afford higher broadband bills;

Verizon?s study becomes murkier over the issue of cord cutting. Verizon found that video streaming continues to drive Internet traffic growth, but at least 89% still prefer watching shows on their televisions. Verizon defines that as live TV, DVR, or on-demand from ?TV/Cable service.?

But they did not ask whether consumers are watching more or less television provided by their cable, satellite, or phone company or if a larger proportion of viewing now comes from Netflix or other streamed content. That is a key indicator of whether a customer is gradually shifting viewing habits, which could ultimately make it easier to dump cable television.

With?90 percent of those surveyed looking forward to the day when every connectable device in their house can seamlessly interconnect and work together, Verizon?s potential revenue opportunities are enormous, if customers use Verizon Wireless for connectivity and not free Wi-Fi. Machine-to-machine wireless traffic can boost profits without costing the company much, especially under Verizon Wireless? new Share Everything pricing. The impact of short data exchanges likely from home appliances and other similar devices is expected to be negligible. The profits from charging at least $10 a month to add each of those devices to a Verizon Wireless account are not.

Sempra International unit to construct natural gas pipeline network in Northwestern Mexico

Tuesday, October 23, 2012

Sempra International today announced that its Mexican business unit Sempra Mexico has been awarded two contracts by Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE), Mexico's state-owned electric utility, to construct, own and operate an approximately 500-mile (820-kilometers), $1 billion pipeline network connecting the Northwestern states of Sonora and Sinaloa.

After a competitive and transparent international public bidding process, Sempra Mexico's offers were selected to develop the new pipeline network. The network will be comprised of two segments that will interconnect to the U.S. interstate pipeline system in Arizona and will provide natural gas to new and existing CFE power plants that currently use fuel oil. The capacity for each segment is fully contracted by CFE under two 25-year firm capacity contracts denominated in U.S. dollars.

"We are pleased to have been awarded these projects, which will strengthen the gas transportation system in northern Mexico," said George Liparidis, president and CEO of Sempra International. "These projects represent an extension of our core business in Mexico and an important part of our plan to grow our international business."

The first segment, a 36-inch, 310-miles (500-kilometer) pipeline will run from Sasabe, south of Tucson, Ariz., to Guaymas, Sonora, and will have the capacity of 770 million cubic feet (Mcf) of natural gas per day. The new pipeline is expected to begin operations late 2014.

The second segment from Guaymas to El Oro, Sinaloa, is a 30-inch, 200-mile (320-kilometer) pipeline with a capacity of 510 Mcf of natural gas per day. The pipeline is planned to begin operations in the third quarter of 2016.

"This new pipeline network will provide reliable access to clean natural gas to CFE's plants in Sonora and Sinaloa," said Carlos Ruiz, president and CEO of Sempra Mexico. "We have a long and successful history of safe, efficient and reliable operations in Mexico and we appreciate the confidence that CFE has placed in us. We look forward to creating new jobs in these communities and improving the local economy for years to come."

Announcement due on badger cull

23 October 2012 Last updated at 04:10 ET

The government is to make a statement to Parliament on the proposed cull of of thousands of badgers in England, amid reports it will delay the scheme.

Under the coalition's plans, as many as 100,000 badgers could be shot by trained marksmen, in an effort to reduce levels of bovine TB.

Opponents say this is unnecessary and cruel, but ministers argue it is an effective way of fighting the disease.

But a government source said: "We are committed to the cull."

Environment Secretary Owen Paterson will make a statement at 12:30 BST.

The Guardian newspaper reports that the badger cull, due to be piloted in south-west England, will be delayed until at least next year.

The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs says the action is necessary to protect cattle from bovine TB.

Last year, 26,000 cattle in England had to be slaughtered after contracting the disease.

The Welsh government has opted for a system of vaccination while Scotland is officially TB-free.

The government's plan is based on the results of a nine-year trial which showed the spread of the disease could be slowed slightly if more than 70% of badgers in an area could be eradicated.

But if it was less than 70%, the spread of TB could increase, it found.

Unlike previous test culls, badgers will be shot in the open without first being trapped in cages.

Opponents, including the RSPCA, say that is inhumane.

An e-petition to the government, created by Queen guitarist Brian May, has attracted more than 160,000 signatures.

Pirates continue disruption of Niger Delta oil trade

Pirates generally target ships in order to steal the goods being transported, and oil trade around the Niger Delta is being affected as pirate activity grows, according to OilPrice.com.?

By James Burgess,?Guest blogger / October 20, 2012

This February 2010 file photo shows a crew of U.S. sailors and Nigerian special forces fighters prepares to board the NNS Burutu for a training exercise off the Nigerian coast. Most of the gangs operating around the Niger Delta have formed from the remains of the militant groups that plagued the area until an amnesty was agreed in 2009, according to OilPrice.com.

The Niger Delta is the heart of Africa?s oil industry, yet the Gulf of Guinea, the area in which the delta is situated, is a hot spot for piracy. Only in the waters off Somalia are pirate attacks more common.
