On
a 10 October: 2005 It is announced that the 2005 Nobel Prize for Economics will go jointly to Robert J. Aumann [08 Jun 1930~], of Israel, and Thomas C. Schelling [14 Apr 1921~], of the US, “for having enhanced our understanding of conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis”.
 2002
First general election in Pakistan since General Pervez
Musharraf [11 Aug 1943~] [< photo] seized power in
a 12 October 1999 coup. The election is
supposed to restore civilian rule in Pakistan, but Musharraf has created
a military-controlled National Security Council that will oversee all national
policy decisions. He has also granted himself the power to remove the prime
minister and dissolve parliament, rendering the vote little more than window-dressing
for his continued military dictatorship. Musharraf tried to rig the elections
in favor of his supporters by barring the participation of the two best-known
Pakistani politicians — former prime ministers Benazir Bhutto (convicted
of corruption) and Nawaz Sharif (in exile in Saudi Arabia), but the vacuum
created was filled by the success of extremist pre-medieval Islamist parties,
even more distateful to Musharraf. — {Especially if you are in Pakistan,
be careful how you spell Musharraf's first name: that's “z” at
the end, not
“rt”} 2002 A Svéd Akadémia az irodalmi Nobel-díjat 2002-ben Kertész Imre [kép >] magyar írónak itéli oda, “Egy írói munkásságért, amely az egyén sérülékeny tapasztalatának szószólója a történelem barbár önkényével szemben”. The 2002 Nobel Prize in Literature is announced to go to Hungarian Imre Kertész “for writing that upholds the fragile experience of the individual against the barbaric arbitrariness of history”. Born on 09 November 1929, Kertész was deported, in 1944, because he is descended from Jews, to the Auschwitz concentration camp and then to Buchenwald's. Kertész’s first novel, Sorstalanság 1975 (“Fateless” 1975), deals with the young Köves, who is arrested and taken to a concentration camp but conforms and survives. Kertész concurs with a philosophical tradition in which life and human spirit are enemies. In the novel Kaddis a meg nem születetett gyermekért (“Kaddish for a Child not Born” 1990), Köves refuses to beget a child in this world which allowed concentration camps. Kertész presents a consistently negative picture of childhood and from this derives the paradoxical feeling of being at home in the concentration camp. In the autobiographical novel A kudarc (“Fiasco” 1988), while aging author Köves waits for an expected refusal of his real novel, about Auschwitz, he writes a novel that is a claustrophobic description of Communist Eastern Europe In his 1961-1991 diary in fictional form Gályanapló (“Galley Diary” 1992), Kertész wrote: “Theoretical justifications are merely constructions.”. The diary is continued for 1991-1995 in Valaki más: a változás krónikája (“I – Another: chronicle of a metamorphosis” 1997). Kertész's lectures and essays are collected in A holocaust mint kultúra (“The Holocaust as Culture” 1993), A gondolatnyi csend, amíg kivégzöoztag újratölt (“Moments of silence while the execution squad reloads, 1998), and A számuzött nyelv (“The exiled language”, 2001). Kertész also wrote A nyomkeresö: Két regény (“The pathfinder” 1977), Az angol labogó (“The English flag 1991), Jegyzokönyv (1993). |

Akerlof, A. Michael Spence,and Joseph E. Stiglitz, all three from the USA — .http://www.nobel.se/index.html — Advanced scientific information on the economics. (PDF): — MORE 2001 The FBI publishes a list of the 22 Most Wanted Terrorists, with their photos (names below are links to FBI photo and data on each wanted terrorist): Usama Bin Laden / Ayman Al-Zawahiri / Abdelkarim Hussein Mohamed Al-Nasser / Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah / Muhsin Musa Matwalli Atwah / Ali Atwa / Anas Al-Liby / Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani / Hasan Izz-Al-Din / Ahmed Mohammed Hamed Ali / Fazul Abdullah Mohammed / Imad Fayez Mugniyah / Mustafa Mohamed Fadhil / Sheikh Ahmed Salim Swedan / Abdul Rahman Yasin / Fahid Mohammed Ally Msalam / Ahmad Ibrahim Al-Mughassil / Khalid Shaikh Mohammed / Muhammad Atef / Ali Saed Bin Ali El-Hoorie / Saif Al-Adel / Ibrahim Salih Mohammed Al-Yacoub — The list identifies only earlier-indicted defendants and not suspects in the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Listed right after bin Laden's name among those indicted for the 07 August 1998 US Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania are two Egyptians, Ayman al-Zawahri and Mohamed Atef, who long have been identified as bin Laden's most trusted lieutenants. Officials have said evidence gathered since Sept. 11 has connected both men to the suicide hijacking plot. The international police agency Interpol also issued an arrest warrant for al-Zawahri since the hijackings that alleges he "masterminded several terrorist operations in Egypt" and is "accused of criminal complicity and management for the purpose of committing premeditated murders." Al-Zawahri, a doctor by training, is the former head of the Egyptian al-Jihad terrorist group that merged in 1998 with bin Laden's al-Qaida network. Al-Jihad had been linked to terrorist activities dating to the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in the early 1980s. Atef, a former police official, has been identified by US authorities as a key military strategist and training director for bin Laden. Others who made the most-wanted list were several people of bin Laden's network: -Ahmed Khfaklan Ghailani and Sheikh Ahmed Salim Swedan, two al-Qaida operatives that bought a truck used in the US embassy bombings in August 1998. -Mustafa Mohamed Fadhil, another al-Qaida operative who was implicated in the embassy bombings. -Saif al Adel, a senior member of al-Qaida believed to have provided training to tribes in Somalia, where US troops were attacked and killed in 1993. -Ibrahim al-Yacoub and Abdel Karim al-Nasser, named as suspects in the federal grand jury indictment issued in the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 US servicemen. Others listed are suspects in the 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847, the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and a foiled 1995 plot to bomb airliners in the Far East.

Baby Oryx, recently born in Kenya's Samburu National Reserve, starved
to death separated from its mother after becoming the fifth newborn oryx
kidnapped by lioness Kamuniak (“blessed one” in the local Samburu
language), who then eats its corpse. Kamuniak has been very motherly and
protective toward her adopted baby oryxes, fending off other animals. But
although on occasion she did let mother oryxes nurse their babies for brief
periods, this was not enough to prevent starvation. Kamuniak was starving
herself too, as she did not take enough time off for hunting while she was
protecting a baby oryx. Animal behaviorists believe Kamuniak suffers from
a mental illness.Kamuniak kidnapped her first baby oryx on 22 December 2001 and let its mother nurse it enough, at least, to keep alive. On 07 January 2002, a male lion killed this oryx while the lioness slept.

On 23 May 2002, Kamuniak kidnapped a fourth baby oryx, about 8 days old, at the foot of Koitogor Hills, several hundred meters from Larsens Camp.
