--Zimbabwean dollar--

The Zimbabwean dollar ($, or Z$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies) was the official currency of Zimbabwe between 1980 and 12 April 2009. ~ Although the dollar was considered to be among the highest valued currency units when it was first introduced in 1980 to replace the Rhodesian dollar at a ratio of 1:1, political turmoil and hyperinflation rapidly eroded the value of the Zimbabwe dollar to eventually become one of the least valued currency units in the world, undergoing three redenominations, and banknote denominations being issued for as high as $100 trillion.
^~
Despite attempts to control inflation by legislation and three separate redenominations in 2006, 2008 and 2009, the use of the dollar as an official currency was effectively abandoned on 12 April 2009 as a result of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe legalising the use of foreign currencies for transactions in January 2009.
^~
Foreign currencies such as the South African Rand, Botswana Pula, Pound Sterling and the United States Dollar are now used instead for all transactions in Zimbabwe, and the current policy of the government of Zimbabwe has insisted that any attempts to reintroduce Zimbabwean currency should only be considered if the industrial output improves.

--Osama bin Laden to Guantánamo?--

By David S. Cloud and Brian Bennett / Tribune Washington Bureau Thursday, February 17, 2011
~
WASHINGTON — If the U.S. captured Osama bin Laden or other senior al-Qaida leaders, they would be probably be imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay, CIA Director Leon Panetta said in his first public acknowledgment that the controversial U.S. military prison in Cuba might be used to hold future detainees. ~ Bin Laden and al-Qaida No. 2 leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, both of whom are believed to be hiding in Pakistan, would likely be moved quickly to the U.S. airbase at Bagram, Afghanistan, for questioning and eventually moved, "probably to Guantanamo," Panetta told the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday. ~ Most U.S. officials consider it unlikely that bin Laden or al-Zawahiri will be captured alive, but Panetta’s comments appeared to describe a scenario the administration is considering in the event they or other senior al-Qaida leaders are taken into custody. ~

--Hosni Mubarak--

Muhammad Hosni Sayyid Mubarak (Arabic: محمد حسني سيد مبارك‎, Egyptian Arabic pronunciation: [mæˈħæmːæd ˈħosni ˈsæjːed moˈbɑːɾɑk], Muḥammad Ḥusnī Sayyid Mubārak; born May 4, 1928^{[citation needed]}) is the fourth and current President of the Arab Republic of Egypt.

He was appointed vice president in 1975, and assumed the Presidency on October 14, 1981, following the assassination of President Anwar El Sadat. He is the longest-serving Egyptian ruler since Muhammad Ali Pasha. Before he entered politics Mubarak was a career officer in the Egyptian Air Force, serving as its commander from 1972 to 1975.

Beginning on January 25, 2011, a popular uprising called for his resignation as president of Egypt. On February 1, 2011, Mubarak announced that he will not seek another term in the upcoming presidential election. On February 5, 2011 Egyptian state media reported that senior members of the ruling National Democratic Party, including President Hosni Mubarak, had resigned from leadership roles within the party. It was later clarified that Mubarak would stay on as president however.

--陳水扁--

陳水扁（1950年10月12日－），前台灣律師、政治人物，出生於台灣台南縣官田鄉西庄村，曾任中華民國總統（2000年 - 2008年）、民主進步黨黨主席、台北市議員、立法院立法委員、台北市市長等職位。
~
由於「阿」字後面加尾名是台語人名簡稱的習慣用法，多用於親友間對平輩和晚輩的叫法，故自稱「阿扁」以表現親民作風，台灣媒體習慣稱呼陳水扁的家庭亦稱「扁家」，對其所領導的中華民國政府為「扁政府」。
~
陳水扁競選2000年中華民國總統選舉時獲得諾貝爾獎得主李遠哲博士支持推薦，後當選為第一位政黨輪替的民選總統，2004年3月19日總統大選遭遇槍擊，之後以0.228%差距險勝對手。
~
陳水扁是中華民國第二位民選總統，也是首位非中國國民黨黨籍的總統，任內積極推動台灣的正名制憲運動以及台灣入聯運動，在經貿方面則採用「南向政策」及「積極管理，有效開放」的兩岸經貿架構。
~
夫人為吳淑珍（1952年7月11日－），育有一子陳致中、一女陳幸妤，認養家扶中心義子吳岳庭。
~
總統任內後期因自身與民進黨相關人士接連弊案，以及中央執政團隊爭議不斷，使民眾普遍對民進黨政府觀感不佳，以致於後來的直轄市、縣市長、立法委員、縣市議員...等選舉，敗於對立的中國國民黨；其中2008年立法委員選舉，令民主進步黨從原來國會最多席次的政黨，掉到剩27席，而國民黨卻有81席，足有三倍之多；縣市首長選舉2001年國民黨與民主進步均為9席，但2005年選舉時，卻分別為14席與6席。在長期陳水扁民意低迷情況下，2008年總統大選時，即便國民黨總統候選人馬英九因多項指控而遭致非議，最後仍以總得票約59%擊敗民進黨候選人謝長廷，取回中央執政權。

Koreas Clash: Seoul a City on the Edge

(CBS) On Wednesday the Obama administration called the North's artillery attack a "premeditated" violation of the longstanding truce.

CBS News correspondent Celia Hatton reports images of emotional memorials, exhausted evacuees and mangled buildings gripped South Korea Wednesday. The country is on high alert following Tuesday's artillery battle between North and South Korea that killed two South Korean marines and two civilians on the island Yeonpyeong.

"I was really scared," said one evacuee.

--China Independence Day 2010--

Independence Day of China
Independence Day or National Days are perhaps the most important day for a nation to honor as a national holiday. For many nations the date of Independence Day may be of a battle fought to gain freedom or the birth of a national hero who helped the country in its struggle for independence. The Chinese celebrate their Independence Day on the 1st of October every year, marking the foundation of the People's Republic of China. The Central People's Government passed the Resolution on the National Day of the People's Republic of China on December 2, 1949 and declared October 1 as the National Day or Independence Day of China. China, a cultural state and ancient civilization in East Asia, is one of the world's oldest leading civilizations, consisting of states and cultures dating back more than six millennia. China is the worlds longest constantly used written language system, and also the source of many of the world's greatest inventions, including the Four Great Inventions of ancient China- Paper, the Compass, Gunpowder, and Printing. With Beijing as its capital, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has led the PRC under a one-party system since the state's establishment in 1949.

--Sep. 11th 2001 9years of pain....--

The September 11 attacks (often referred to as September 11th or 9/11) were a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United States on September 11, 2001. On that morning, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing everyone on board and many others working in the buildings. Both buildings collapsed within two hours, destroying nearby buildings and damaging others. The hijackers crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. The fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville in rural Pennsylvania after some of its passengers and flight crew attempted to retake control of the plane, which the hijackers had redirected toward Washington, D.C. There were no survivors from any of the flights.

Nearly 3000 victims and the 19 hijackers died in the attacks. According to the New York State Health Department, 836 responders have died as of June 2009. Among the 2752 victims who died in the attacks on the World Trade Center were 343 firefighters and 60 police officers from New York City and the Port Authority. 184 people were killed in the attacks on the Pentagon. The overwhelming majority of casualties were civilians, including nationals of over 70 countries. In addition, there was at least one secondary death – one person was ruled by a medical examiner to have died from lung disease due to exposure to dust from the World Trade Center's collapse.

The United States responded to the attacks by launching the War on Terror: it invaded Afghanistan to depose the Taliban, who had harbored al-Qaeda terrorists. The United States also enacted the USA PATRIOT Act. Many other countries also strengthened their anti-terrorism legislation and expanded law enforcement powers. Some American stock exchanges stayed closed for the rest of the week following the attack and posted enormous losses upon reopening, especially in the airline and insurance industries. The destruction of billions of dollars' worth of office space caused serious damage to the economy of Lower Manhattan.

The damage to the Pentagon was cleared and repaired within a year, and the Pentagon Memorial was built adjacent to the building. The rebuilding process has started on the World Trade Center site. In 2006, a new office tower was completed on the site of 7 World Trade Center. The new 1 World Trade Center is currently under construction at the site and, at 1,776 ft (541 m) upon completion in 2013, it will become one of the tallest buildings in North America. Three more towers were originally expected to be built between 2007 and 2012 on the site. Ground was broken for the Flight 93 National Memorial on November 8, 2009, and the first phase of construction is expected to be ready for the 10th anniversary of the attacks on September 11, 2011.

--Hong Kong issues 'black alert' after deadly Manila hostage crisis--

Hong Kong

Eight Chinese tourists were killed Monday after a hostage crisis in the Philippines came to a violent end. The incident is likely to heap pressure on new president Benigno Aquino, who must confront the diplomatic fallout with his giant neighbor while seeking to reassure tourists that his impoverished nation of 92 million is safe to visit.

~

Philippine security forces stormed a tourist bus in the capital, Manila, at around 8.30 p.m. local time after an 11-hour standoff with a man armed with a M-16 rifle who had boarded the bus, taking hostage 22 tourists from Hong Kong and three Filipinos.

~

The gunman – a police officer protesting his firing in 2008 – became agitated as night fell and specialist SWAT units encircled the bus. He began shooting hostages, and millions of TV viewers worldwide, including many in China and Hong Kong, watched in horror in bars and restaurants as security forces stormed the bus.

--Nelson Mandela Day 2010--

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (Xhosa pronunciation: [xoˈliɬaɬa manˈdeːla];), born 18 July 1918, served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, and was the first South African president to be elected in a fully representative democratic election. Before his presidency, Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist, and the leader of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC). In 1962 he was arrested and convicted of sabotage and other charges, and sentenced to life in prison. Mandela served 27 years in prison, spending many of these years on Robben Island. Following his release from prison on 11 February 1990, Mandela led his party in the negotiations that led to multi-racial democracy in 1994. As president from 1994 to 1999, he frequently gave priority to reconciliation.

In South Africa, Mandela is often known as Madiba, an honorary title adopted by elders of Mandela's clan.

Mandela has received more than 250 awards over four decades, including the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize.
