Поврежденные машины и машины скорой помощи имели значительные трудности из-за тумана при прибытии на место аварии. На месте было очень тесно, и мигающие сигнальные были включены большую часть ночи. Пока не поступало сообщений о сколько-нибудь серьезно пострадавших в аварии. Это происшествие, четвертое по числу столкнувшихся транспортных средств за последний месяц, произошло как раз накануне первой Национальной Конференции по использованию дорог.
На церемонии открытия прошлым вечером в Лондоне сэр Джон Стоун, советник по дорожному движению области Метрополитэн, раскритиковал стандарты дорожного движения страны. Он сказал, что очевидным стало то, что британские водители еще должны выучить многие из основных правил дорожного движения. Дорожная дисциплина в стране намного хуже чем в Америке, и особенно опасна манера водителей обгонять. Начинать обгон без соответствующего сигнала слишком опасно, и у водителей наблюдается настолько же рискованная тенденция вклиниваться в ряд после обгона. Однако, пожалуй, самой распространенной формой нарушения явилось нежелание водителей частных автомобилей сворачивать на внутреннюю полосу движения, если имеется такая возможность. Сэр Джон сказал, что слишком многие вынуждены оставаться на средней или даже на внешней полосе, несмотря на состояние дорожного движения, следствием чего является нетерпение водителей, намеревающихся обогнать и пытающихся встать слишком близко вслед впереди стоящему транспортному средству, тем самым увеличивая вероятность аварии. Конференция продолжается. А теперь о переговорах стран Общего рынка. Мистер Джеффри Риппон, ответственный за проведение переговоров, прошлой ночью вылетел в Брюссель.
The first bombs went off at 18. Nine years later, 12 people were convicted in this case. Faisal Sheikh, Asif Khan, Kamal Ansari, Ehtesham Sidduqui and Naveed Khan who planted the bombs in various trains were all sentenced to death while the other seven accused of the crime—Mohammed Sajid Ansari, who prepared the electrical circuits for the bombs, Mohammed Ali, who allowed people to use his house to make the bombs, Dr Tanveer Ansari, one of the conspirators, and Majid Shafi, Muzzammil Shaikh, Sohail Shaikh and Zamir Shaikh who gave logistical support — were given life imprisonment.

Smuggled inside their novels, plays and memoirs, writers transmit thoughts across frontiers. Now our work is even more important than ever. However much fun you had conceiving it, the end product is entirely new, entirely itself, and not always entirely happy. Jung Chang I had brought eight international writers together under the heading Migrations of the Mind to explore the challenges of taking stories between cultures. Each writer exemplified the problems of a world increasingly built out of small and mobile communities. Yet as soon as they were put together on stage at the ICA, most of the participants fiercely refused to define themselves either culturally or nationally.
Many Americans voted to express their unhappiness with the situation in Iraq. As a result, Nancy Pelosi of California will become the first woman to serve as speaker of the House.

There, hostage negotiators tried to reason with Barber using a sound system and a robot. Eventually, Barber emerged from the house with a gun, and two police officers shot him. This prompted one member of the commission to vote against accepting the report. A second jury found Jones guilty of second-degree murder, recommending 13 years imprisonment.

News - 2006
North Korea flexed its strategic muscle in its first underground nuclear test in October, ignoring international condemnation and threats of more sanctions. He is still awaiting a trial for alleged involvement in terrorist activities in Afghanistan. Closer to home, violence broke out in East Timor in April, as troops and police fought among themselves in the streets of the capital Dili. Twenty-one people were killed and thousands of terrified residents fled their homes. Fijians faced more uncertain times after its military chief staged the fourth coup in 20 years to topple the democratically elected government of Laisenia Qarase. While preparing for possible evacuations of Australians from Fiji, a Black Hawk helicopter carrying a crew of 10 crashed into the sea after miscalculating the landing on HMAS Kanimbla. International air travel became more stringent after the Heathrow Airport shut down in London in August because of a suspected serious terrorist threat. It caused chaos and resulted in new restrictions to hand luggage on flights.
The Bali nine lost their appeals against 20-year heroin-smuggling convictions, with some sentences increased to the death penalty. In May, an earthquake killed more than 4,600 and in July, a tsunami killed more than 650 on the island. A landslide buried an entire village in the Philippines in February, and tens of thousands were evacuated amid the erupting Mayon volcano in the Philippines in August. Back home, cyclone Larry smashed the far north Queensland coast in March, with its destructive core flattening Innisfail, south of Cairns. As the most bushfire prone place in the world , authorities feared the worst bushfire season yet for south-eastern Australia.

The graph shows how pin punching has almost died out at events I have run since I first used Emit at an event on 28th June 1995 in Norway.

In perfect weather we got a chance to run round all the tourist sights, scattering tourists as we went, and even managed to run through some of the colleges.
And as always, the race to be the first resort to open was notable again this year. Perennial Opening Day race winner Loveland Ski Area could only sit idly by on the morning of October 12, as friendly competitor Arapahoe Basin turned its lifts a full nine days earlier than it ever had. It perhaps was appropriate this year, as The Legend celebrates its 60th year of operation this season. Well, in the case of Copper Mountain resident Rainer Hertrich — the only human in recorded history to complete such a streak — he found a five-dollar bill.
On the county and municipal level, programs were established to enable fire mitigation and fire prevention planning. Homeowners worked to clear dead and dying trees from their properties, and a widespread Community Wildfire Protection Plan took hold across the county. But the more we know about the pine beetle epidemic, the more nuance it seems is needed in the debate. While beetle-killed trees grow in numbers, a new argument about a consequent rise in fire danger arose. Water, or lack thereof, was less of an issue this year, as the hydrological year between 2005 and 2006 was one of the wettest on record. And on June 5, Dillon Reservoir filled to capacity, and excess water spilled through the glory hole for the second year in a row. In other environmental news this year, a surge of run-off from an abandoned mine above Breckenridge threatened a number of species in April. The result of the mine run-off: the Blue River flowed a deep orange color right through downtown Breckenridge, though no long-term impacts to the ecosystems there could be reported. Finally, boosted water flows in the same Blue River were the goal of the Breckenridge Sanitation District with their proposed Blue River Pumpback Project — where a series of pipes and pumps would recirculate water flows normally lost to Dillon Reservoir back into the river further upstream.
Other major 2006 newspaper articles were written about the sentencing and execution of Saddam Hussein in the late months of 2006 by the Iraqi court, which was huge news that reached the far corners of the world.
