Report: Another Chinese activist charged with subversion amid government crackdown

BEIJING - A veteran Chinese activist has been charged with subversion, a human rights group said Saturday, after another dissident was jailed for nine years in a crackdown aimed at preventing Arab Spring-style democratic uprisings.

Chen Xi was arrested Nov. 29 and charged Friday in the southern province of Guizhou, the Information Center for Human Rights and Democracy said. The Hong Kong-based center said Chen, who left prison in 2005 after serving a 10-year sentence, was accused of writing 30 essays that incited subversion.

A man who answered the phone at the Guiyang Intermediate People's Court said he had no information about the case.

On Friday, activist Chen Wei was sentenced to nine years, also on subversion charges.

Communist leaders launched a sweeping effort to crush dissent early this year in response to anonymous online calls urging Chinese to imitate protests that toppled governments in North Africa and the Middle East.

Human rights activists have criticized the ruling party's use of vague subversion laws to jail its critics. Authorities began using the subversion law against activists after repealing a widely criticized law on counterrevolutionary activities.

Chen Xi, 57, was active in the 1989 Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests and was sentenced to three years in prison, the Information Center said in a statement. It said he was jailed for 10 years in 1995 on charges of counterrevolutionary offenses.

After his release, Chen was the first activist to sign the Charter 08 manifesto calling for an end to one-party rule and advocating democratic reforms, according to the Information Center.

The charter's co-author, Liu Xiaobo, who also is imprisoned on subversion charges, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last year for his pro-democracy activism.

Also this week, a government conference on politics and law called for a struggle against "hostile forces at home and abroad" and "illegal religious activities" next year, according to the Information Center, which is run by a mainland activist who lives in Hong Kong.

"Human rights conditions will continue to worsen next year," the Information Center said.

China's communist leadership was spooked early this year when online messages called for a Chinese "Jasmine Revolution," the name of the uprising in Tunisia.

Even though few outright demonstrators responded to the protest calls, China launched one of its broadest campaigns of repression in years, rounding up dozens of bloggers, lawyers and intellectuals. Most have since been released.

Others rounded up include Beijing activist Wang Lihong, who was sentenced to nine months in jail in September for staging a protest on behalf of other activists, and Yang Qiuyu, a Beijing activist who was sentenced to two years of re-education through labor.

Chen Wei's sentence appears to be the heaviest meted out in the crackdown, said Wang Songlian, a researcher with Chinese Human Rights Defenders, a Hong Kong-based advocacy group.

On Saturday, the European Union ambassador to Beijing, Markus Ederer, expressed concern about the sentence.

"The delegation of the European Union to China is deeply concerned by news of the disproportionate sentence handed down to democracy activist Chen Wei," Ederer said. "The EU firmly upholds freedom of expression as a universal human right and we encourage political debate rather than the use of criminal law as a means to resolve diverging political opinions."

Chen Wei, 42, previously served time for participating in the 1989 protests and was sentenced to five years in 1994 for "counterrevolutionary propaganda and incitement."

Amnesty International called for Chen Wei's release, saying his sentence was "clearly retaliation" for his criticism of the Communist Party.

Issues Remain In Greek Debt Talks

BRUSSELS -- Talks between Greece and its private creditors on cutting the country's massive debt load have made some progress, but disagreements remain on key parts of the deal, a person close to the negotiations said Thursday. Big banks and investment firms have been asked to forgive Greece some 50 percent of its debts so that the country can concentrate on getting its economy back in shape and eventually raise money on financial markets again. Athens has been kept afloat by a ?110 billion ($144 billion) bailout from the eurozone and the International Monetary Fund since May 2010 and has been promised an extra ?130 billion in aid if investors agree to share part of the burden. The idea is that by forgiving Greece part of its debt, private creditors avoid the much bigger losses they would face in a tumultuous default. While the eurozone and bank representatives reached a tentative deal on a debt restructuring in late October - which would see Greece debt cut by some ?100 billion - discussions on the details of the agreement have dragged on. The plan was to agree on the terms of a bond swap by the end of the year, so that private investors could exchange their old bonds for ones with a lower value in January or February, ahead of a ?14.4 billion repayment deadline Athens faces in March. In recent days, the Greek government and private investors agreed on some structural aspects of the package, but are still divided on central financial questions, which will determine the level of losses private creditors have to accept, said the person, who has been briefed in the talks. The person was speaking on condition of anonymity because talks are still ongoing. Investors won concessions from the government negotiators, who agreed to provide legal certainty that private creditors won't face more losses if Athens runs into trouble again in the future. For instance, the swapped bonds will be treated in the same way as loans from the eurozone in case of a future default by Greece. On top of that, the new bonds will be issued under U.K. rather than Greek law, giving investors extra security that the parliament in Athens won't be able to change their terms in the years to come. But the person said that there was still no deal on when Greece will have to repay the new bonds and at what interest rate. A high interest rate could add billions of euros to Greece's financial burden. Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos said Tuesday that he expected to reach an agreement with the private sector by early January, but the person close to the negotiations declined to commit to a deadline. He said informal discussions would continue in the coming days. All participants in the negotiations - Greece, the IMF and the eurozone on the one side and the bank representatives on the other - are under enormous pressure to reach a deal that can convince enough bondholders to participate. The IMF said in a report earlier this month that "near-universal participation" in the bond swap was necessary for Greece's debt to become sustainable again. How difficult that may be became clear earlier this month, when hedge fund Vega Asset Management resigned from the committee that has been leading the negotiations for the private investors. In a letter dated Dec. 7, Vega threatened legal action against Greece if it was forced to take steep losses as part of the restructuring. The person close to the talks said that letter was friendly in tone, and that some holdouts were to be expected, since different bond holders have different interests at stake. For example, a hedge fund, which may have bought its bonds when they were already trading at a steep discount, may be more willing to bet on getting bigger payments through a law suit than a bank or insurance fund more focused on cutting its risks. Separately, Greece's Finance Ministry said it exceeded its deficit-cutting targets in the first eleven months of the year, despite a revenue shortfall. A ministry statement on state budget execution Thursday showed the deficit was ?20.6 billion ($26.7 billion), a little bit lower than the ?21.1 billion target. The figures exclude certain categories of spending. ____ Nicholas Paphitis in Athens contributed.

Russia protests and other 2011 uprisings: A year of yearning for clean government

On Dec. 24, tens of thousands of Russians plan to protest again over election fraud and other official corruption. The event will bookend a remarkable year of efforts, from China to India to Brazil, to rein in graft in high places.

At the risk of writing history too early, 2011 may well be remembered as a year in which demands for honesty in public life popped up around the world like desert flowers after a rain.

Skip to next paragraph

Tunisia was the first bud, with protests that spawned the Arab Spring and its cry for clean, representative government. Movements to curb official corruption also shot up in Brazil, Russia, India, and China ? the BRIC countries.

This Saturday, in what may be the year?s final big challenge to graft in high places, tens of thousands of Russians plan to hit the streets again, braving the arctic cold and a chilly response from the Kremlin.

Most of these protesters are middle-class urbanites with Internet access ? all still rare for the masses. But even this dissenting pro-democracy elite has managed to force pledges of political reform as a result of their protests in many cities on Dec. 10.

That earlier gathering was triggered by clear evidence of fraud in Dec. 4 elections for Russia?s parliament. But it was also fueled by opposition blogger Aleksei Navalny giving an apt phrase to the ruling United Russia party that backs Vladimir Putin: a ?party of swindlers and thieves.?

For now, the Kremlin only talks of reform. The outgoing president, Dmitry Medvedev, proposed several ideas Thursday to the new (and illegitimate) parliament: forced disclosure of public officials? personal income, direct election of provincial governors, and creation of an independent television station.

He noted how many government contracts are granted to private businesses with family ties to public workers. ?The number of such cases in our country is enormous,? he said. Recent research shows that the average bribe in Russia has gone up more than sixfold, reaching $10,000.

Without the cleansing effect of transparent democracy, Russia?s endemic corruption may stall its economic growth.

Even if Mr. Medvedev?s reforms are enacted, they fall short of the protesters? call for a new election.

This Saturday?s protests will likely be just a warm-up for those timed for next March?s presidential election. Prime Minister (and former president) Putin has all but eliminated any serious opposition to his winning that contest.

Chinese fossils shed light on evolutionary origin of animals from single-cell ancestors

ScienceDaily (Dec. 22, 2011) ? Evidence of the single-celled ancestors of animals, dating from the interval in Earth's history just before multicellular animals appeared, has been discovered in 570 million-year-old rocks from South China by researchers from the University of Bristol, the Swedish Museum of Natural History, the Paul Scherrer Institut and the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences.

All life evolved from a single-celled universal common ancestor, and at various times in Earth history, single-celled organisms threw their lot in with each other to become larger and multicellular, resulting, for instance, in the riotous diversity of animals. However, fossil evidence of these major evolutionary transitions is extremely rare.

The fossils, reported this week in Science, preserve stages in the life cycle of an amoeba-like organism dividing in asexual cycles, first to produce two cells, then four, eight, 16, 32 and so on, ultimately resulting in hundreds of thousands of spore-like cells that were then released to start the cycle over again. The pattern of cell division is so similar to the early stages of animal (including human) embryology that until now they were thought to represent the embryos of the earliest animals.

The researchers studied the microscopic fossils using high energy X-rays at the Swiss Light Source in Switzerland, revealing the organisation of the cells within their protective cyst walls. The organisms should not have been fossilized -- they were just gooey clusters of cells -- but they were buried in sediments rich in phosphate that impregnated the cell walls and turned them to stone.

Lead author Therese Huldtgren said: "The fossils are so amazing that even their nuclei have been preserved."

Co-author Dr John Cunningham said: "We used a particle accelerator called a synchrotron as our X-ray source. It allowed us to make a perfect computer model of the fossil that we could cut up in any way that we wanted, but without damaging the fossil in any way. We would never have been able to study the fossils otherwise!"

This X-ray microscopy revealed that the fossils had features that multicellular embryos do not, and this led the researchers to the conclusion that the fossils were neither animals nor embryos but rather the reproductive spore bodies of single-celled ancestors of animals.

Professor Philip Donoghue said: "We were very surprised by our results -- we've been convinced for so long that these fossils represented the embryos of the earliest animals -- much of what has been written about the fossils for the last ten years is flat wrong. Our colleagues are not going to like the result."

Professor Stefan Bengtson said: "These fossils force us to rethink our ideas of how animals learned to make large bodies out of cells."

The research was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council, the Swedish Research Council, the Paul Scherrer Institut, Ministry of Science and Technology of China, National Natural Science Foundation of China, and EU FP7.

Pollution rule may affect Pa.'s coal-fired plants (AP)

HARRISBURG, Pa. ? New federal pollution standards targeting the nation's dirtiest power plants may help lead to the shutdown of some coal-fired plants in Pennsylvania, although it's not yet clear how many.

Doug Biden of the Harrisburg-based Electric Power Generation Association said Wednesday that low natural gas prices and stubbornly high coal prices could also contribute.

Biden says he's not worried about power outages, and the federal Environmental Protection Agency has the ability under its new mercury and toxic pollutants rule to allow targeted plants to operate longer to ensure local service isn't interrupted.

The Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit Environmental Integrity Project says power plants in Pennsylvania emitted more cobalt, lead and arsenic in 2010 than those in any other state. They were second in hydrochloric acid and third in mercury and selenium.

Interstates reopening after Great Plains snowstorm (AP)

TOPEKA, Kan. ? Holiday travelers were breathing a sigh of relief Wednesday after a snowstorm that closed interstates across the Great Plains moved out of the region, allowing crews to plow away snow drifts and let stranded motorists leave roadside hotels.

The storm was blamed for at least two fatal car accidents as it crawled from eastern New Mexico and Colorado through the Texas Panhandle, Oklahoma and Kansas. The fierce winds and heavy snowfall closed several major roadways before weakening Tuesday as the weather moved into Missouri and toward the Great Lakes.

But another winter weather system threatened some of the same areas that had been hit, including the Rockies and parts of Wyoming, New Mexico and western Kansas. Those areas could see another round of snow and wind over the next few days, but it wouldn't be as strong as the recent storm, said meteorologist Brian Barjenbruch of the Nation Weather Service's Topeka, Kan., office.

"It's tough to match what we had in some areas with this past storm," he said early Wednesday.

Meanwhile, authorities still reported snow drifts of up to 10 feet high in southeast Colorado, and Texas officials warned drivers to stay off the road in the Panhandle so crews could remove ice and snow. Some highways in the western half of the Oklahoma Panhandle remained closed early Wednesday, with transportation officials warning of hazardous conditions.

At least 40 people were stranded the Longhorn Motel on Main Street in Boise City, Okla., where manager Pedro Segovia said blowing snow had created drifts 2- and 3-feet high and closed the main road.

"Some people cannot even get out of their houses. There is too much snow," Segovia said Tuesday. "It's was blowing. We've got big piles. It's real bad."

Receptionist MaKenzee Grove sympathized with the 50 or so people stranded at the hotel where she works in Guymon, about 60 miles east of Boise City.

"I have this rinky-dink car that does not do well in this," Grove said. "If we wouldn't have had the wind, it wouldn't have been as bad. The winds ... made the drifts really bad."

A few guests traveling to Oklahoma City managed to leave Tuesday, but others would likely have to wait another night before all roads were clear, she said.

Officials reopened Interstate 40 in the Texas Panhandle and New Mexico, and portions of Interstate 70 in western Kansas that had been closed Tuesday. New Mexico reopened a closed section of Interstate 25, the main route from Santa Fe to the Colorado line, after crews cleared drifts as high as 5 feet.

The storm dumped as much as 15 inches of snow as it hit parts of five states.

In Kansas, schools in Manhattan canceled classes Tuesday, anticipating several inches of snow. The National Weather Service reported later that 3 inches or less fell.

To the east, a cold rain pelted the Topeka area, turned into a mix of light sleet and snow without much accumulation and tapered off. Forecasters said the storm became less potent as it moved northeast toward the Great Lakes.

Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Ben Gardner said the patrol dealt with dozens of accidents in which motorists slid off highways Tuesday.

"We had ice-covered roads, covered by snow packed on top," he said.

The late-autumn snowstorm lumbered into the region Monday, turning roads to ice and reducing visibility to zero. Many of the areas hit had enjoyed relatively balmy 60-degree temperatures just 24 hours earlier.

The storm was blamed for at least six deaths, authorities said. Four people were killed when their vehicle collided with a pickup truck in part of eastern New Mexico where blizzard-like conditions are rare, and a prison guard and inmate died when a prison van crashed on an icy road in eastern Colorado.

The Colorado Army National Guard said it rescued two stranded motorists early Tuesday in eastern Las Animas County, in the state's southeast corner, using a special vehicle designed to move on snow. Smaller highways in that area remained closed.

How Silly?and Happy?We Were

In those long lost days, when we were young and childless, we often went out to parties together in a kind of gang, and I remember one evening when Martin, Christopher, and my husband and I all arrived?possibly after one or two cocktails?at some upwardly mobile soiree given by Arianna Stassinopoulos (not yet Huffington) in a hideous apartment in one of those white bricked buildings on the Upper East Side. ?Why I can?t quite recall now, but Christopher and Martin took it into their heads to start chanting, ?Fuck pigs frolic in a fountain of jizz.?? I think this catchy phrase might have come from a headline in Screw magazine?hey, you can?t say that those hacks don?t have a way with words?and we all laughed so much, while never letting go of the chant, that we were soon, unsurprisingly, asked to leave. Christ, how silly?and happy?we were.

Lohan doing well on probation, judge says

LOS ANGELES?? A judge says Lindsay Lohan is doing well under her strict new probation routine of counseling and working at the county morgue.

A progress report hearing lasted less than 10 minutes on Wednesday after the actress successfully completed the benchmarks set by Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner.

Lohan has worked at the morgue for 12 days since her sentencing Nov. 2 and completed five therapy sessions.

Sautner gave Lohan an incentive to work harder, telling the actress she could leave California for personal visits once she completes 12 days of morgue duty a month.

Story: Lindsay Lohan misses flight and 'Ellen' taping

Lohan has been reporting regularly for work at the morgue since being repeatedly threatened with a long jail sentence if she failed to complete the terms of her probation.

The hearing was without the usual drama that precedes Lohan's recent court appearances, which have focused on the actress' shortcomings by missing court-ordered therapy sessions and getting booted from a community service assignment at a women's shelter.

The "Mean Girls" star spent less than five hours at a jail last month as part of a 30-day sentence imposed by Sautner for Lohan's continued misbehavior.

The judge is requiring the starlet to report on her progress monthly and it appears Lohan has been successful in meeting the goals.

"She's been doing fine," Deputy Chief Coroner Ed Winter said Tuesday, saying the actress has been showing up, working and leaving without incident.

He said he did not know how many hours Lohan had completed.

Story: Lindsay Lohan's stolen purse returned ? minus $10K

Lohan remains on probation for a 2007 drunken driving case and a misdemeanor grand theft case filed after she took a $2,500 necklace without permission.

She has consistently struggled with the terms of her various sentences, which have included jail terms, rehab, community service and counseling.

Her appearance Wednesday came days before a Playboy issue featuring Lohan in a mostly nude pictorial hits newsstands. The magazine released the issue online early after photos of the Marilyn Monroe-inspired spread leaked out online.

Hatch seeks show on his kids from sperm donations (AP)

NEWPORT, R.I. ? Reality star Richard Hatch, who was freed this week from prison on a tax evasion sentence tied to his $1 million "Survivor" winnings, said Tuesday that he is hoping for a new reality show about his relationship with the children conceived from his sperm donations.

Hatch, 50, was released Monday from prison for violating the terms of his supervised release in the long-running case. Hatch maintains his innocence and says he does not owe money to the Internal Revenue Service.

"Here I am, subjected to something that can only be described as institutionalized bullying," said Hatch, who spent nine months in prisons in five states.

Hatch won the inaugural season of the show in 2000. He was convicted in 2006 of two counts of attempted tax evasion and one count of signing a false tax return. He was released from prison in 2009 but ordered to return after a federal judge ruled he failed to file amended income tax returns for 2000 and 2001.

Shortly before returning to prison in March, Hatch, who lives in Rhode Island, said he met a 22-year-old biological son who is living in New Jersey. Hatch said he met the man, whom he identified only as Devin, through the Sibling Donor Registry, which helps connect donors and children. They took a DNA test to confirm their genetic ties, he said.

Hatch said another biological child, whom he identified as a 22-year-old Maine woman named Emily, visited him in prison.

"It was additionally challenging to be wrongfully imprisoned knowing that these children were coming forward," Hatch said. "I told the court that beforehand. I explained this is a fascinating time in my life when I was at a place where I wanted to get to know these people who are my children who have come forward and want to get to know me."

He also views the show as a way to help the public understand the relationships between offspring and donors.

"The offspring want connections with their biological donors because of all kinds of varying reasons from health to emotional to whatever they are," said Hatch.

Hatch said a production company was involved in plans for a TV series about his encounters with his children but that no plans have been finalized. He declined to name the production company.

Hatch also has an adopted son, who attends the University of Rhode Island.

Hatch's discovery is one of the most interesting encountered by Wendy Kramer, executive director and co-founder of the Sibling Donor Registry. Kramer said she's known Hatch for years and that they have discussed working on a television project.

Hatch said he has no regrets about participating in "Survivor" and would like to compete in "The Amazing Race," which also airs on CBS.

Hatch remains on supervised release for the next two years and two months. Under the terms of his release, Hatch must pay 25 percent of his gross income to the IRS to pay off his taxes for 2000 and 2001, court records show. He also cannot leave the country without court permission.

Hatch said the travel restriction means he is not free to visit his spouse, who lives in Argentina. Hatch, who is gay, said he married eight years ago in Nova Scotia.

He asserts any taxes owed on his $1 million "Survivor" prize are due to the government in Malaysia, where the series was filmed. Hatch also says it's up to CBS or the show's production company to pay any tax bills. A CBS spokeswoman did not immediately return a request for comment Tuesday.

Federal prosecutors said the IRS calculated Hatch owed $1.7 million in taxes, penalties and interest as of April 2010, which Hatch disputed.

"Never has a cent been determined to be due," he said.

But the court has examined the evidence in Hatch's case numerous times and determined he has not paid taxes that he owes, said Jim Martin, a spokesman for Rhode Island U.S. Attorney Peter Neronha.

The U.S. Tax Court is also reviewing Hatch's case.
