Former American President Jimmy Carter has never been shy when it comes to speaking his mind about the state of the world, particularly the seemingly endless crisis in the Middle East.  Carter has spent the greater part of his post-presidency working for the betterment of mankind, observing elections across the globe, brokering peace deals in military hot-spots and constructing homes for the needy through Habitat for Humanity.  For his work he was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize.  Carter has not, however, had many kind words to say about former President Bush’s War on Terrorism.  In his latest book, We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land: A Plan That Will Work (Simon & Schuster, 2009), he calls for the United States to make up for its disastrous foreign policy of the last eight years.  Carter writes that America must be an honest broker spelling out and endorsing compromises that must be made on both sides- and for both Arabs and Israelis to fully engage in the peace process.   Promote Peace at TomorrowPictures.tv!

Chilean Quake Aftershock!

• Flash

The strongest aftershock since Chile’s devastating earthquake rocked the South American country Thursday as President Sebastian Pinera was sworn into office.  The 7.2-magnitude aftershock was stronger than the quake that destroyed the Haitian capital on Jan. 12.  There were no immediate reports of damages or injuries but the temblor — and at least three other aftershocks — strongly swayed buildings — shook windows and provoked nervous smiles among the dignitaries attending Pinera’s inauguration at the congressional building in coastal Valparaiso.  The biggest aftershock happened along the same fault zone as Chile’s magnitude-8.8 quake on Feb. 27, said geophysicist Don Blakeman at the U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colorado.

Politics and Power: Russian Godfathers on ENG!

• Flash

Following the recent collapse of the Soviet Union, state-owned assets and resources of the former world superpower were seized by a small group of smart, ruthless, and well-connected businessmen. The group, collectively dubbed the Oligarchs, rapidly joined the ranks of the world’s richest people — and now battle Russian president Vladimir Putin for economic and political control of the country. In a political climate in which journalists and other critics of the Kremlin face imprisonment and even assassination, Russian Godfathers is an investigation of the rise and fall of the Russian oligarchs and their ongoing war with Putin’s 21st Century Russian Democracy. Obtaining unprecedented on-camera access to the billionaires who are currently at war with Putin, the series offers unique insight on the ruthless struggle for wealth, power and control over resources. Yuri Mikhailovich Luzhkov has been the mayor of Moscow since 1992, and in that time has accumulated a fortune in the billions. He has won re-election three times, with policies including compulsory bulletproof windows for restaurants, fining weather-people for inaccurate forecasts, and rebuilding the torn-down statue of infamous KGB founder Felix Dzerzhinksy. He is also the last elected opposition to Putin, and neither man has ever forgotten that. It is election year in Moscow, and The Politician chronicles a battle for control of one of the world’s great cities.

Another Lost Boy: The Passing of Corey Haim…

• Flash

Corey Haim died last night in Burbank, California, allegedly of a drug overdose.  The Toronto-born actor, best known for a 1980s Hollywood career as a teen idol, reached peak popularity in the late 1980s, appearing in The Lost Boys, Lucas, License to Drive and Dream a Little Dream.  His friendship and on-screen collaboration with actor Corey Feldman was widely publicized during the late 1980s and the pair were dubbed “the two Coreys”.  The 90s didn’t treat Haim well, as he descended into a life of hard partying and drug abuse.   Haim appeared to have finally gotten rid of his drug habit by 2004, when the Irish band The Thrills released a single, “Whatever happened to Corey Haim?”   In response to the single’s release, Haim responded: “I’m clean, sober, humble and happy”.   In 2006 he was ranked #8 on VH1’s Greatest Teen Stars.  Rest in Peace, Corey, because God always calls his Lost Boys home…
