“Easing campus insecurity”
By Amy Fagan
August 19, 2007
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Department of Public Safety employees monitor hundreds of surveillance cameras, like the one below, from the security operations center, which watches over the University of Maryland in College Park. Feeds from the cameras are monitored continuously.
New safety precautions will greet college students returning to some campuses this fall — part of the legacy of the Virginia Tech massacre in April.
Sirens to warn of emergencies, text-message alert systems, committees to monitor questionable student behavior and anonymous-tip lines are all tools some schools are implementing to better protect students.”

“Students push for guns on campus”
By Zinie Chen Sampson
August 13, 2007
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “RICHMOND — College students are pushing for their schools to allow them to carry guns on campus, saying they should have the right to protect themselves in a situation like the one in which 32 Virginia Tech students and faculty were fatally shot.
Andrew Dysart, a George Mason University senior, organized a chapter of Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, which hopes to persuade legislators to overturn a Virginia law that allows universities to prohibit students, faculty and staff members with gun permits from carrying their weapons onto campus.”

Christian prayer warrior, estate owner and cash crop entrepreneur killed in Kerala
By Michael Ireland
Chief Correspondent, ASSIST News Service
KERALA, INDIA (ANS) — A Christian estate owner was killed at Thathengalam, near Mannarghat in the Palakkad district of Kerala, India, on 17 August.
John Mathew, also known as Monachan, was a prayer warrior and cash crop entrepreneur.
According to Salem Voice Ministries (SVM) News Service, John Mathew, 47, who was also known as Monachan of Pothukal Njettikkulam in Nilambur of Malappuram district, was killed in his farm house at Thathengalam on Thursday night.
His dead body was found at 7.30 on Friday morning on the floor inside the farm house. Both of his hands and legs were tied up. Mathew was staying alone at the house.
SVM News says it seems that whoever killed Mathew destroyed the door and entered into the house. Some kind of white powder was scattered on the verandah and around the house.
John Mathew has 12 acres of land in Thathengalam. He also has another 14 acres of land at the neighboring village called Anamooli. He was involved with cultivating rubber, pepper, coconut and other cash crops.
Deputy Superintendent of Police C.K. Ramachandran, Circle Inspector Suresh Babu, Sub Inspector Hussain, Addl. Sub Inspector Unnikrishnan are investigating the case, SVM News reported.
“From the first investigation we conclude the intention of murder was not robbery, because nothing found missing from the house. We can say nothing more until after the postmortem report,” C.K. Ramachandran, Deputy Superintendent of Police told Salem Voice Ministries (SVM) News Service.
Mathew leaves behind Joyamma, his widow and his children Shiju, Shinu and Preethi. They are living in Nilambur in Malappuram district. Shiju studies for mechanical engineering, Shinu for bio-medicine and Preeti is in IVth standard.
It was Mathew’s practice to stay with the family once a week only. The rest of his time was spent at his estate looking after the cultivation of the cash crops.
“Monachan was with us on last Saturday and Sunday,” his wife Joyamma told SVM News. “He was an active prayer warrior in the church and prayer group,” she continued.
Paul Ciniraj, president of the Christian Ministers of the Churches of India (CMCI) condemned the slaying of John Mathew. He asked the government to find out the murderers were and to arrest them immediately. “There must be some strong hands behind this Christian persecution,” Ciniraj said.

“Russia flexing military muscle”
LONDON SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
August 19, 2007
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “LONDON — In a hangar at an airfield 24 miles southeast of Moscow, technicians yesterday were checking over the latest additions to the burgeoning military arsenal that a resurgent Russia hopes can restore its status as a major world power.
The MiG-35 and MiG-29 fighters that Russia plans to showcase this week at the Moscow international air show are just a small portion of an almost $200 billion plan to return the Russian military to the heights of its Cold War might.
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “President Vladimir Putin caused consternation on Friday by announcing the resumption of regular, long-range nuclear bomber patrols, but there is more to come. Russia is planning to double combat-aircraft production by 2025, with more nuclear missiles, aircraft carriers and tanks at the top of its shopping list.
The message to the West is clear:”
