Nigerian police names suspects in Abuja car bombings

Nigerian police have named two men suspected of organising car bombings which killed at least 12 people in Abuja on Friday.
The police said Chima Orlu and Ben Jessy were Nigerian but gave no further details about the men.
President Goodluck Jonathan had earlier blamed "a small terrorist group that resides outside Nigeria" for the blast.
His comments cast doubts on an earlier claim of responsibility by the militant group Mend.
A statement, claiming to speak for the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (Mend), had claimed responsibility for the bombings during celebrations in the capital on the 50th anniversary of independence.
The group apparently sent a warning shortly before the blasts, saying "several explosive devices have been successfully planted in and around the venue by our operatives working inside the government security services".
A former leader of the militant group, Henry Okah, has been arrested in South Africa in connection with the bombings.
Mr Okah told the BBC on Friday that his group, which says it is fighting for a fairer distribution of Nigeria's oil wealth, was not responsible.
Mr Okah is expected to be appear in court in Johannesburg on Monday.
However, on Sunday President Jonathan said in a statement that investigations had shown that members of Mend said "they know nothing" about claiming responsibility for the attacks.
Senior commanders in the group, who are abiding by a ceasefire with the government, have told the BBC they condemn the bombs.
In the ceasefire agreement signed last year, former fighters were offered an amnesty and small amounts of cash in return for handing in their weapons.
The BBC's Caroline Duffield in Lagos says that Mr Okah is believed to lead a tiny faction of Mend that is opposed to the amnesty.
Some Mend commanders are infuriated that what they see as a tiny, violent faction apparently claims to speak for the whole group, our correspondent says.

Germany marks 20 years as reunified nation

Germany has been celebrating the 20th anniversary of its reunification.
Chancellor Angela Merkel led the official celebrations, hosted by the northern city of Bremen and attended by tens of thousands of people.
Capitalist West and communist East Germany merged on 3 October 1990, nearly a year after the fall of the Berlin Wall which divided them.
Sunday is also the day Germany makes the last payment on debt stemming from reparations imposed after World War I.
'Solidarity tax'
Mrs Merkel was joined by many leading German and international figures in Bremen to mark one of the 20th Century's historical turning points.We have been able to rebuild so quickly and make Germany a country that is respected in the world”
End Quote Angela Merkel
German President Christian Wulff told the assembled dignitaries: "We remember the momentous day that a people experience only rarely. I bow before everyone who fought for freedom... your courage moved the world."
He called for a "new solidarity" that encompassed Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
"We must not allow the cementing of prejudice and exclusion," he said.
On the eve of the anniversary, US President Barack Obama passed on his congratulations and said Germany was "one of our closest allies and greatest friends".
He said the US honoured "the courage and conviction of the German people that brought down the Berlin Wall, ending decades of painful and artificial separation".
Mrs Merkel, who was brought up in the East, praised former East Germans for fighting for their freedom.
She added: "At the same time, there was a huge wave of solidarity from the people in West Germany. It is thanks to these joint efforts that we have been able to rebuild so quickly and make Germany a country that is respected in the world.

WordWeb 6.1

WordWeb is a handy utility that gives you the definition, synonyms, and antonyms of any given word without requiring you to go online, though it can connect to the Internet for expanded functionality should you want it.
The interface feels like an expanded version of any major word processing app's dictionary function, giving users an instant familiarity--even if they've never used WordWeb. After you type a term into the Lookup dialog box, the word's definition will appear in the interface's top pane, along with tabs that link to various wiki functions.
The bottom pane offers tabs for such items as synonyms, antonyms, and related words. The app's most notable feature is its hot key support; you simply use a hot key combo when the cursor is pointed over any word, and WordWeb will pop up onscreen with all pertinent information.
There are tools for changing the database to one of several English variations, altering the text size, and disabling WordWeb from recognizing offensive terms. The depth and functionality of WordWeb would be worth paying for, but thankfully you don't have to redefine your budget to get it--it's free

YoWindow 2.0.382

Sometimes applications are practical, sometimes they're fun, and sometimes they manage to be both. YoWindow is a weather application that manages to deliver weather data in what may be the most fun interface we've ever seen.
The program is easy to set up. Enter a city anywhere in the world, and the program's background image, a quaint village landscape, will reflect the current conditions. The sun rises and sets just as it does in real time, and precipitation and other weather phenomena are depicted with animations. Our first thought was that though the village scene looked nice, it didn't seem right to view conditions for, say, New York City, against such a bucolic backdrop. The program's online Help file advises that the creators are working on more backgrounds, but for now the village is the only one. Users can, however, add their own images, which work surprisingly well; use a photo of yourself and see the sun rise and set on you, or watch as you get caught in the rain. In addition to the snazzy graphics, the program displays detailed information about the current conditions, as well as a brief overview of the next several days. The program can be used on its own or set as the default screensaver, which is both cool and useful. Overall, we found YoWindow to be a unique and attractive way to check the forecast, and we're looking forward to keeping it around and watching the weather conditions change.
YoWindow is free to try, but the trial version limits users to a three-day forecast and two favorite locations. The program installs a desktop icon without asking but uninstalls cleanly. We recommend this program to all users.
