14 years later, Florida man dies for killing. TALLAHASSEE, Fla. 1996-12-06
Fourteen years after he bludgeoned and shot a man whose trailer home he robbed in 1982, John Mills Jr. , 41, was put to death in Florida's electric chair Friday. As Glenn Lawhon, a rural Florida minister who is the victim's father, looked on, Mills was pronounced dead at 7:13 a. m. EST (1213 GMT) for the murder of Lester Lawhon. Speaking in Arabic, Mills made a final statement before an anonymous citizen flipped the switch that sent 2000 volts of electricity through his body, said Department of Corrections spokesman Eugene Morris, who was present at the execution. " I bear witness that there is no God but Allah and I bear witness that the prophet Mohammed is the messenger of God, " he quoted Mills as saying. Prison officials said they had no record of Mills' official conversion, but they said that, on May 14, 1991, he had asked that a new name, Yuhanna Abdullah Muhammed, be added to his prison file, which is usually an indication of a conversion to Islam. Mills is the 38th person to die in Florida's electric chair since the U. S. Supreme Court reversed itself in 1976 and legalised the death penalty. Prison officials said Mills made no special request for a last meal and did not eat the steak, fried potatoes and orange juice offered him. He spent Thursday with family members and his spiritual adviser, Morris said. Mills was scheduled to die Wednesday but had his sentence temporarily postponed by the Florida Supreme Court. On Thursday, the 11th Circuit U. S. Court of Appeals in Atlanta denied his appeal in federal court. In March 1982, Mills and accomplice Michael Frederick knocked on the door of Lester Lawhon's trailer in an attempt to rob it, police said. Lester Lawhon was taken to a nearby airstrip where he was bludgeoned with a tire iron. Mills then fired two shots that killed Lawhon as the victim tried to run away. Frederick is serving a 347-year sentence. | [

Man stole pigs, tipped strippers, gets 10 years. APPLETON, Wis. 1996-12-06
A farmhand used the proceeds from stolen pigs to lavish tips on dancers at strip clubs and offered one $3, 000 to pay for breast implant surgery, authorities said Friday. In sentencing Darrel Voeks, 38, to a 10-year prison term on Thursday, Outagmie County Circuit Court Judge Dennis Luebke said he was " a thief by habit. "
" You are self-indulgent. You are narcissitic, " Luebke said at the sentencing, adding Voeks should pay restitution of more than $100, 000 to the farming family who had hired him. Voeks, who was already on probation for prior pig thefts, pleaded that he was trying to pay bills for his ex-wife and children. But the court heard that receipts showed much of the money went to dancers at strip clubs where he was known as a big tipper. One stripper said Voeks offered to give her $3, 000 for breast implant surgery. | [

NYMEX natgas ends sharply lower on weather outlook. NEW YORK 1996-12-06
NYMEX Henry Hub natgas futures settled significantly lower Friday, pressured early by profit taking and driven even lower late by the National Weather Service's bearish six to 10 day forecast, sources said. January ended 29. 7 cents lower at $3. 487 per million British thermal units after dipping to a low of $3. 46. Feb settled down 22 cents at $3. 186. Most others also were down. " Weather forecasts have been sketchy. Now the National Weather Service is calling for above-normal temperatures in more than half of the U. S. , " one futures trader said. In its forecast, the NWS said it expects above-normal temperatures " over the lower 48 states " from December 12 through December 16. With more room to the downside anticipated early next week, traders said support in January was at $3. 47, then $3. 35. The next backstops were seen at $3. 11 and $3. 04, the low set on November 21. Resistance was pegged at the new contract high of $3. 80. In the cash market, Gulf Coast prices were around $3. 60 shortly before nomination deadlines. Midcontinent prices were similarly lower in the $3. 40s. New York city gate gas slipped into the $4. 40s, down almost 15 cents. NYMEX said an estimated 35, 662 Hub contracts traded, down from Thursday's revised tally of 43, 955. NYMEX Alberta natgas remained untraded, with January settling at $1. 65, off 10 cents from Thursday. Physical prices for the weekend at the AECO storage hub were also down about 10 cents in the C$1. 92-1. 97 per gigajoule, or $1. 52-1. 56 per mmBtu range, pressured by unseasonably mild weather in western Canada. NYMEX Permian natgas, also untraded, ended 10 cents lower at $2. 90. In congruence with futures, Permian cash prices for the weekend fell more than 10 cents to the high - $3. 40s. On the KCBT, January finished 26. 5 cents lower at $3. 35 after dipping to a low of $3. 33 earlier in the session. February was down 22 cents at the close, while other deferreds were 4. 5 to nine cents lower. The East / West spread narrowed by 3. 2 cents to 13. 7 cents (NYMEX premium). Physical prices at Waha for the weekend lost more than 15 cents to the low-to-mid $3. 50s as milder weather moved into the Southwest. --H McCulloch, New York Power Desk +212-859-1628 | [

White House spokesman Mike McCurry said Clinton " plans to have regular news conferences " during his second term. But when asked how frequent these would be, he was evasive, saying, " periodic, occasional. "

Half of dog bites provoked, says American vet. CHICAGO 1996-12-06
As many as 1 million dog bites are recorded in the United States every year and half of them are provoked by humans, a veterinarian told fellow animal doctors on Friday. The Humane Society of the United States estimates that between 500, 000 and one million bites are delivered by dogs each year, more than half of which are suffered by children. " Most bites can be prevented by teaching children how to respect a dog, " Michael Cornwell of the Glencoe Animal Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, told the annual meeting of the American Veterinary Medical Association. " Let's not let our kids jump on them or crawl on them. Dogs and children don't have to have an interaction. Let's respect their territories, " he said. Cornwell said 50 percent of reported bites were provoked by a person and 60 percent were suffered by children. He also estimated that only 25 percent of bites were reported because medical attention was not needed. Don Rieck, president of the National Animal Control Association, said aggressiveness in dogs was related more to gender than breed and a male dog that had not been neutered was three times more likely to bite than an unspayed female. The five breeds credited with the most incidents were chow chows, Rottweilers, German shepherds, cocker spaniels and Dalmatians. "
The trends in dog bites by particular breeds have more to do with fad pets owned by individuals who need to have something unique. Speaking strictly of dogs, 15 years ago the macho fad pet was a Doberman. Today, Rottweilers are on the way up, " Rieck said. If approached by a stray dog, children should be taught to stand still with fists folded underneath the neck, elbows in, and gaze forward until the dog goes away. | [

Four Africans said to vie for top U. N. post. Evelyn Leopold
UNITED NATIONS 1996-12-06
Four African states are ready to nominate candidates for the post of U. N. secretary-general on Friday now that Boutros Boutros-Ghali has temporarily put aside his bid for re-election. The nominees, according to diplomats, are: Kofi Annan of Ghana, the U. N. undersecretary-general for peacekeeping; Ahmedou Ould Abdallah of Mauritania, the former U. N. special envoy for Burundi; Amara Essy of the Ivory Coast, its foreign minister and the U. N. General Assembly president in 1994-95; and Hamid Algabid of Niger, the secretary-general of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference. Representatives of the U. N. missions of Ghana, the Ivory Coast, Mauritania and Niger have scheduled a meeting with Security Council president Paolo Fulci of Italy to hand in the nominations in writing, the envoys said. It was not known if other candidates would step forward. Diplomats said General Joseph Garba of Nigeria, a U. N. General Assembly president in 1989-90, was putting forth his own candidacy without being nominated by his country. Boutros-Ghali on Wednesday opened the door for other Africans to contest his job by saying he was suspending temporarily his candidacy but was not withdrawing completely from the race. His supporters said this meant he remained a candidate in case the race reached an impasse. The United States on Nov. 19 vetoed his bid for re-election while the other 14 Security Council members supported him. The move by the African states means that the council could begin voting on candidates next week, a procedure that could either result in a decision or turn into a bitter fight with vetoes against each nominee. The Security Council has to vote on a new secretary-general and then seek the endorsement of the 185-members General Assembly before December 31 when Boutros-Ghali's term expires. | [

Mussolini's granddaughter rejoins far-right party. ROME 1996-12-06
Alessandra Mussolini, the granddaughter of Italy's Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, said on Friday she had rejoined the far-right National Alliance (AN) party she quit over policy differences last month. " I've gone back, " she told a radio show shortly after AN leader Gianfranco Fini, who was being interviewed on the programme, said the row had been resolved. " He didn't want to lose me and I didn't want to lose him. "
Fini told state radio RAI he met Mussolini thanks to the good offices of Giuseppe Tatarella, AN's leader in the Chamber of Deputies (lower house), and had overcome their differences. Mussolini, 33, resigned from the parliamentary party group for what she said were strictly political reasons. The fiery politician, who is also a niece of screen star Sophia Loren, had accused AN leaders of stifling internal party debate. Mussolini, who sits in the Chamber, told La Stampa newspaper last month after quitting AN's parliamentary party that she was considering joining the neo-fascist Social Movement (MS-Fiamma) formed by some of the Duce's World War Two followers. | [

EU, Poland agree on oil import tariffs. BRUSSELS 1996-12-06
The European Union and Poland have resolved disagreements over a new Polish oil import regime, the European Commission said on Friday. The EU had objected to increases in Polish tariffs on imports of gasoline and gasoil products introduced on January 1, 1996, saying they contravened levels envisaged in the so-called Europe Agreement between the EU and Poland. The increases were aimed at protecting the Polish market while helping to modernise the local oil industry. " The EU and Poland have now reached a final settlement regarding issues related to the Polish import regime in the oils sector, " the Commission said in a statement. Under the agreement, Poland will abolish all oil import tariffs by 2001, remove all oil price controls and end quantitative restrictions on imports by January 1, 1997. The agreement includes the early privatisation and modernisation of Polish oil refineries, which will be obliged to offer equal treatment to all buyers. The EU and Poland will monitor the settlement at six-monthly meetings. | [

Hindu party forces India parliament to adjourn. NEW DELHI 1996-12-06
Hindu nationalists forced adjournment of India's lower house of parliament on Friday, in protest against a proposal to observe a minute's silence over the destruction of a mosque by a Hindu mob in 1992. Members of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) shouted pro-Hindu slogans in the house after a communist deputy made the proposal in remembrance of the Babri mosque, which was razed on December 6, 1992. The house was first adjourned for two hours. When it reconvened, BJP deputies resumed the slogan-shouting, and deputy speaker Suraj Bhan suspended work until Monday. The destruction of the 16th-century mosque in the northern Indian town of Ayodhya triggered nationwide Hindu-Moslem violence in which more than 3, 000 people were killed. Indian officials blame revenge-minded Moslem underworld gangs in Bombay for a string of bombings in the city three months later that killed 260 people. The BJP backs a hardline Hindu campaign to build a temple at the site of the mosque, which Hindus believe was the birthplace of the Lord Rama. The campaign catapulted BJP from the political fringe to become India's main opposition party in 1991. | [

Italy tops week of meagre bond returns - Salomon. LONDON 1996-12-06
High-flying Italy topped the league in a week of meagre returns on government bonds, Salomon Brothers said on Friday. In local currency terms, Italian BTPs offered returns of 0. 85 percent in the week ended on Thursday, with fellow high-yielder Sweden close behind on 0. 80 percent. The weekly government bond index rose 0. 07 percent in local currency terms. France managed third place with 0. 68 percent in the 16-nation world government bond index. Canada's were the worst performing bonds. They lost 2. 21 percent, depressed by a wave of new Canadian supply. Returns on Treasuries were also in negative territory at minus 0. 24 percent, the poorest result after Canada and British gilts which lost 0. 28 percent. Australia was the only dollar-bloc country in the table to eke out a positive return, albeit a paltry 0. 02 percent. German Bunds were not much better, offering returns of 0. 05 percent, while Japanese government bonds managed a 0. 38 percent gain. Spanish bonds, which had been top performers in Salomon Brothers' league table for November as a whole, turned in a more subdued weekly performance with a return of only 0. 27 percent. In U. S. dollar terms, Japan was the only country to give positive returns at 1. 35 percent. France lost 0. 37 percent, followed by Italy on minus 0. 59 percent. The biggest losers in dollar terms were British gilts, which shed 3. 41 percent, Canada with minus 3. 03 percent and Australia at minus 1. 54 percent. Salomon's bond index is calculated using all government bonds with over one year to maturity, weighted for market capitalisation. Only bonds freely available to institutional investors and with a certain minimum amount outstanding are included. Returns take account of price moves and accrued interest. --Stephen Nisbet, International Bonds +44 171 6320 | [

PLO says Arafat, Netanyahu could meet Saturday. JERUSALEM 1996-12-06
PLO negotiators said on Friday Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak might all meet on Saturday to try to clinch a deal on Israel's handover of Hebron to the PLO. " It is very possible that Arafat and Netanyahu will meet in Cairo on Saturday. There is work on arranging such a meeting hosted by President Mubarak, " one PLO official, who requested anonymity, told Reuters. Israeli officials said no meeting had yet been set. Arafat's adviser Nabil Abu Rdainah said:
" President Arafat is ready to meet Prime Minister Netanyahu but no time or date has been set for such a meeting yet. " President Arafat's position is clear that such a meeting should come after successful negotiations so that the meeting would have positive results. Especially since the Hebron issue has not been agreed yet and the crucial disputed issues have not been resolved. "
But Rdainah said Arafat would go to Cairo on Saturday for talks with Mubarak. Both Arafat and Netanyahu have expressed willingness to meet. They last met in Washington after clashes in September that killed 60 Palestinians and 15 Israelis. The violence was spurred by Israel's opening an entrance to a tunnel near Moslem sites in Jerusalem. The Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) negotiators said the last two weeks of talks with Israel on implementing the long-delayed handover of most of Hebron to PLO rule had been " meaningless ", necessitating an Arafat-Netanyahu meeting. Mubarak's adviser Osama el-Baz said on Thursday there were efforts to arrange a meeting between the Israeli and Palestinian leaders. Palestinian Authority Secretary General Ahmed Abdel-Rahman said on Thursday he understood it could be held in Cairo either on Friday or Sunday. Abdel-Rahman had said on Thursday he did not think Saturday would be the date because it is the Jewish sabbath. But the Jewish sabbath ends at sundown, so a night meeting would not interfere with the religious observance. | [

Turkey hindered by own landmines on Syrian border. ANKARA 1996-12-06
Turkey's efforts to prevent Kurdish rebels and smugglers infiltrating from Syria are being badly hindered because the military does not have a map of its own minefields on the border, a commission of parliamentarians said. " It is not known exactly where the mines have been sown because a minefield chart cannot be found, " the commission said in a report on border protection. The report, to be debated in parliament in coming weeks, was seen by Reuters on Friday. "
Officials say the minefields present an obstacle to the security forces, " it said. It said Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) guerrillas sometimes know the layout of mined areas along the border better than the security forces. " Terrorists and smugglers have dug up the mines, defused them and opened up wide paths in some areas. They can come in and out easily as the minefields are not an obstacle, " it said. An armed forces spokesman was not available for comment. Turkey says Syria sponsors the PKK, fighting for Kurdish self-rule in southeast Turkey. Damascus denies aiding the rebels. The PKK also crosses into Turkey from bases in the mountains of northern Iraq. More than 21, 000 people have died in the 12-year-old conflict. | [

Three dead in Kurd militia blood feud in Turkey. DIYARBAKIR, Turkey 1996-12-06
Three people were killed on Friday in a gun battle between rival groups of anti-guerrilla militiamen on the streets of this southeastern Turkish city, police said. Four others were wounded in the clash, caused by a blood feud between two families, the Kesers and Karabuluts, serving as state-paid village guards against Kurdish rebels. Police said the guards fired automatic weapons at each other. One of the dead was a civilian passer-by. The role of the 70, 000 mainly Kurdish village guards who fight Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) guerrillas in the southeast has been questioned recently after media allegations that many of them are involved in common crime. The head of the region's main pro-state militia is at the centre of a security scandal that has shaken the government. More than 21, 000 people have been killed in the 12-year-old conflict between Turkish security forces and the PKK, fighting for Kurdish autonomy or independence. | [

Three dead in Kurd militia blood feud in Turkey. DIYARBAKIR, Turkey 1996-12-06
Three people were killed on Friday in a gun battle between rival groups of anti-guerrilla militiamen on the streets of this southeastern Turkish city, police said. Four others were wounded in the clash, caused by a blood feud between two families, the Kesers and Karabuluts, serving as state-paid village guards against Kurdish rebels. Police said the guards fired automatic weapons at each other. One of the dead was a civilian passer-by. The role of the 70, 000 mainly Kurdish village guards who fight Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) guerrillas in the southeast has been questioned recently after media allegations that many of them are involved in common crime. The head of the region's main pro-state militia is at the centre of a security scandal that has shaken the government. More than 21, 000 people have been killed in the 12-year-old conflict between Turkish security forces and the PKK, fighting for Kurdish autonomy or independence. | [

U. S. blasts release of convicted bomber. WASHINGTON 1996-12-05
The United States Thursday blasted the release from a Greek prison of a Palestinian guerrilla convicted of bombing an airliner and killing a teenager in 1982, saying the move " does not make sense. "
" All of us who have been victimised by terrorists. . . need to stand together against terrorists. We can't let terrorists out of jail when they are a danger to civilians all around the world, " State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns said. '
Mohammed Rashid " is a terrorist who deserves to be behind bars. It is inexplicable to us why he would have been allowed to leave Greece before serving his just sentence. . . This is an incomprehensible move. It does not make sense, " Burns told a news briefing. He spoke after Rashid left Greece Thursday on being freed from prison early for good behaviour after serving 8-1/2 years. The Clinton administration's strong views on this subject have been conveyed to the Greek government, Burns said. Mahammad Rashid was whisked from Korydallos maximum security prison just outside Athens to the airport where he boarded a regular Olympic Airways flight to Cairo where he would transit to Tunis and the former Palestine Liberation Organisation headquarters. Rashid, 46, was sentenced to 18 years in prison by a Greek court in 1992 after being convicted of premeditated murder in the mid-air bombing of a Pan American airliner in 1982. His sentence had been reduced to 15 years in 1993. A parole court ruled recently that Rashid could be freed after serving 8-1/2 years, with time in pre-trial detention counted towards his term, but said he must be expelled immediately from Greece. The United States accuses Rashid of belonging to the May 15 Palestinian guerrilla group and being an accomplished student of master Palestinian bombmaker Abu Ibrahim. Three FBI agents who testified against Rashid during the trial, held at Korydallos prison, said they had ample evidence against Rashid for a bomb planted on a Pan American plane in Brazil in 1982 and a mid-air bomb blast on a TWA airliner approaching Athens in 1986 which killed four U. S. citizens. | [

Mike Cito, 17, was expelled from St Pius X High School in Albuquerque after an October game in which he used the sharpened chin strap buckles to injure two opposing players and the referee. One of the players need 10 stitches to a cut on his forearm. Officials said the New Mexico Activities Association decided to bar Cito from any inter-scholastic competition until next October, regardless of the school he attends.

Cyberspace squabbles overshadow copyright talks. Elif Kaban
GENEVA 1996-12-06
In a gloomy Geneva conference centre built before the dawn of the Internet, groups of staid officials made a first stab on Friday at rewriting copyright laws for the digital age. But critics at the first government-level meeting to revise copyright laws in 25 years said the officials and legislators might as well be trying to police the ether. After four days of diplomatic wrangling over procedures, some 600 delegates from nations small and large got down to the nitty-gritty of setting the digital agenda for the first time. Cyberspace squabbles overshadowed the debate on a stack of proposals covering literary and artistic works, the rights of performers and producers of music and producers of databases. " If it goes on like this, we won't have enough time to finish all the discussions, " a frustrated Western delegate said. "
They announced they will start evening sessions next week. "
Attempts by copyright-based industries to ensure they get a cut from online works led to a storm of protests by Internet companies and critics who say the pacts would curb public access to online information from soccer results to stock prices. " It's not illegal to make photocopies of newspaper articles. It's fair use. We can read sports statistics or stock prices. But with the treaty, this kind of fact will be owned and subject to licensing, " said James Love, a consumer lobbyist heading the Washington-based Consumer Project on Technology. " None of the treaties are ready to move. These people don't understand what they're doing. "
At stake are billions of dollars and the future of the electronic information industry--the coming medium for the distribution of music, films, literature, software and commerce. Supporters of the three pacts say they are only an extension of existing intellectual property rights, covered by the century-old Berne Convention. But an array of opponents from the network industry to consumer, scientific and academic groups say the pacts will give sweeping powers to entertainment and copyright-based industries. A quick survey at the conference centre found few officials who had actually surfed the Internet. Mongolia's state copyright official, Gundegma Jargalshaihan, said apologetically that he had just arrived from Ulan Bator and was not aware of the details of the digital agenda. " We don't have money for Internet in Mongolia, " he added. Alexander Bavykin, deputy legal chief at Russia's foreign ministry, said Moscow had yet to formulate a policy on copyright in cybersppace. He too had never browsed the Net. " I've never tried it and why should I? There are lots of other things in this life I haven't tried either, " he said. A visit to the computer centre offering Internet services found a lone European official clicking away on his mouse. " Internet is a potential cash cow for copyright-based industries and we need roadmaps on the information superhighway, " said Marc Pearl, vice-president of the Information Technology Association of America, a trade association of U. S. network companies opposing the treaties. " But there are a lot of dinosaurs here. People here don't understand Internet technology. Because they don't understand technology, they fear the unknown. "
Before the Internet, those whose business was to protect copyrights knew where they stood. Their enemies were tangible if elusive, such as the people who pirated music cassettes. But the Internet, a global computer network where anything from music to software can be duplicated and distributed at the click of a computer mouse, has ripped up the rulebooks. Network operators said the draft laws would hold them responsible for copyright infringements in the system and expose them to multi-billion-dollar liabilities. " There are 500 million messages transmitted through the Internet everyday, " said Tim Casey of the U. S. -based MCI Communications Corporation. "
