Bluntly put: colonial aims in Africa

Home
> Arab Blogs > Bluntly put: colonial aims in Africa





??In 2007, J. Peter Pham, a State Department advisor who has been a permanent member of the advisory board of AFRICOM since its creation, testified as to the core mission of the new Pentagon command, which he spelled out in fairly blunt terms. It involved, he said, ?protecting access to hydrocarbons and other strategic resources which Africa has in abundance, a task which includes ensuring against the vulnerability of those natural riches and ensuring that no other interested third parties, such as China, India, Japan, or Russia, obtain monopolies or preferential treatment.? ??

Jessica Simpson Posts Her Baby Bump To Twitter, Ashlee Simpson Shows Off Her Bikini Bod In Hawaii [PHOTOS]

The Simpson sisters were all about baring their bodies today?in two different ways.

Older sister Jessica showed off her baby bump on Twitter?with the caption, Bumpin? and Proud!??The newly pregnant star is currently enjoying a family vacation in Hawaii and took the opportunity to show off her bump in a bikini. So, how many months along is she? Cause from the looks of it she must be around 5. Then again, she was one of those bigger pregnant ladies even with Maxwell.

Sister Ashlee definitely does not have a baby bump going on. She and her son Bronx Wentz were having some fun in the sun and enjoying everything the Hawaiian beach had to offer. The thing I like about Ashlee is that she?s thin, but not grossly, overly thin. It works. Now, back to Jessica.?

As we mentioned before, it?s pretty amazing how Jessica is so good at making money off of her pregnancies. I can?t wait for her post-baby number 2 Weight Watchers commercials. It?s going to be super entertaining.

Launch the gallery to check out all the photos of Jessica?s pregnant belly and Ashlee?s bikini bod. What do you think of the Simpson family? Let us know in the comments!

Naturally Nails: Butter London Trout Pout Swatch

Hey Hey,

Hope everyone's been surviving their respective examinations. HALLELUJAH! It is finally december, the marking of yet another end of the year. I've been seen friends post status about advent calender?! Took me a while to recell, can you guess recall where this particular word came from?! Can't recall? Keep reading to find out!

As you all know, Black Friday was somewhen last week. Singapore doesn't exactly have black friday, physcially at least. Come to think of it, there probably isn't a 24 hour mall in Singapore at all. Wouldn't it be cool if we had one, or maybe if shops in Orchard opened 24/7 on saturday nights. I won't have to worry about food places, hesistate to go out of the house at 8pm in the night and all that jazz. Anyway, thankfully though online stores give us the liberty of enjoying it. I got myself something I've been eyeing for the longest time. Just 1 small item. A really modest haul xD

Here it is!


Butter London Trout Pout

OMG it is finally in my hands, if you follow me on Instagram@Plainlypicturesque?you would have seen my little glamed up picture of my most recent haul. WHOOOO. Can't tell you how excited I was when I placed the order for this. It was going for a good 30% of the normal price on Luxola.com. More on that later

Trout pout is a stunning coral shade that has the perfect mix of pink and orange in it. It has this almost neon quality to it that makes my tummy do loop de loops. It is what I envisioned Essie's Haute as hello to be and MORE.
This colour has been raved a bazillion times in the beauty community already so I shan't go on rambling about it. Just that I love it, and it is the perfect colour. Very flattering on olive skin tones.

Sadly to say though I have issues with the application. I read reviews on trout pout and a handful of them complained about trout pout being too thick awfully streaky, while I don't agree, I can't disagree either. Like that makes any sense.... I wouldn't say it's streaky because it really isn't, besides the fact that it goes on quite smoothly despite it being a really bright almost neon colour is already pretty spectacular. Trout pout is?more patchy IMO. . 1 coat doesn't get you perfect coverage and leaves you with random bald spots that absolutely gets on my nerves! The part about the polish being thick is valid I guess but I feel that it's more of the brush's fault. The brush picks up a little too much product for my liking so you really have to clean off the excess product off to prevent a hot globby mess later on. The 2nd coat though seals the deal and assures you that:" yes, this is why so many people love this colour."?
Still I have to say that for its steep price, this is not quality that I would settle with because again, OPI makes wonderful polish for half the price. They aren't all perfect but they are generally awesome. Then again, loads of other butter london colours I've heard are off the charts as well. They'd better BE for the price.?

While this coral baby is finally MINE to own. My first EVER butter London polish. I have to just make a comment on the process of acquiring it. I bought this off luxola.com for a steal of $17.50. Thank you black friday. That's the price that you'll get it in the US, or at least from what I calculated. (Warning, I am born bad at math.) According to their website, you'll have to have someone BE home on the day that they are delievering the product to you if not you'll INCUR A SURCHARGE OF $10 FOR REDELIVERY (if your product is <SGD$50) alternatively, you can collect it yourself. YUP very scary.?
So.. on the supposed day of the delivery, I was home for the entire day (10am to 6pm as specified by luxola) and no one came to ring the doorbell... Strange but I thought perhaps they'd swing by the next day. Then, I received a call at 5pm saying that an attempt was made to deliver but I wasn't home. I was completely MINDBLOWN like how in the world could I have missed my door bell. (PS I was wide awake), even if I were taking a number 2, I would have heard it. Besides, there were others at home too, surely they would have gotten the door. I relayed this to the caller and he said ok, there will be a redelivery tmr. TheEND. At this time, I wasn't aware of the surcharge policy so I was like ok. It wasn't till like 10pm in the night when I scrutinised the fine print. Ugh. it really gave me a heart attack. No way in hell am I paying $10, MORE THAN DOUBLE the price of my product to get it delivered.. Being the super crazy anxious person that I am, I speedily wrote an email to them which they read early in the morning. Nonetheless there was only so much they could do cause the delivery guy already set off.
So the door bell rang the next morning at 9am. OMG SO EARLY. And I got my lovely product. THANKFULLY there was no surcharge given and I lived happily ever after since then. OMG can you imagine my horror if I were to be charged $10 buck. What's the point of the black friday discount then. -_-"
But yeah, that's the lame story of my so called "ordeal"


Ok, so I was clearing up my polish the other day and I chanced across Essie Haute as hello and I was like NO NO NO NO NO they look crazyily similar! I just had to swatch them side by side. To my relief they are WORLDS APART. In colour and in quality. For those complaining of the streakiness of Trout pout, do try out Haute as hello, you'll be pleasantly horrified. Haute as hello is what I call STREAKY. Not to mention, totally UNsmooth. See my previous post on it for more details. As you can see, haute as hello is exuberate a more orange outlook as compared to the strong warm pink tones from trout pout. Both top coatless. I think you can tell the winner from this picture.

Alright, for those of you guys wondering about the advent calander thing who haven't already googled it, it's from NEOPETS. The childhood game of my generation. Hahah it's great to reminisce. My favourite game was trouble at the neopian bank!?

Some random updates, I've been super into this acappella group called pentatonix. Go check them out if you haven't. They are GOOD. ESP carol of the bells and AHA. Awesome stuff. Can't wait for the exams to be over FOR I CAN GO FOR RETAIL THERAPY AND SEE MY BF AGAIN! Spoken like a true bimbo.?


END~

Is it possible that women with no self esteem , who TOLERATE too ...

No, not at all. I am the same as you. I am confident and I don't have self esteem issues. Not saying that I don't have insecurities but it's not about my self image or who I am in a relationship ya know?

Women who don't have self esteem may need and tend to settle for what they aren't really wanting so they take it just to be with someone. Or they tolerate it to the point where they don't want to lose what they have because they think it will improve. Maybe I'm wrong.

I tolerate some things because I fell in love with that person, but early on in a relationship I won't tolerate certain behavior if that makes sense. Before my current relationship, I dated a lot before I found Mr. Right (for now) and it took two yrs since my previous relationship. I don't want to settle and I wasn't really looking. It just happened.

Before I met my current bf, I figured I was meant to be single. I just couldn't understand why I had such high standards or why I wasn't feeling it with anyone else, it came to a point where I didn't even want to date.

Remotely Fetch Files from Your PC with SkyDrive (When It Isn't on Your SkyDrive)

Remotely Fetch Files from Your PC with SkyDrive (When It Isn't on Your SkyDrive)Windows: Like other online storage and syncing tools, SkyDrive is great for convenient access to the files you have in its sync folder(s). But it also has a killer feature: The ability to grab a file from a remote computer even if it hasn't been synced or is stored outside of the sync folder.

SkyDrive's Fetch feature is responsible for this awesome capability that can save you in a pinch when you've forgotten a file. 7Tutorials has a step-by-step guide to using SkyDrive's Fetch feature, but basically, you only need a few things: Enable Fetch in the SkyDrive desktop app (if you didn't do so already during the initial set up, it's under the app's settings menu) and make sure the computer you want to connect to is on and connected to the internet. Note that you can only fetch files that are on a Windows machine, but you can use a Mac to upload them to SkyDrive.

Then, log in to SkyDrive on the web from any computer and click on the name of the remote computer. You'll have to enter a security code Microsoft will email or text you for extra security, then you can browse the computer's files, right click the one you want, and upload it to SkyDrive.

For more screenshots and details, you can check out 7Tutorial's instructions or Microsoft's Fetch page .

Feng Shui for a Living Room or Bedroom Remodel - Mosby Building ...

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our blog for useful information about your home. RSS feed. Like us on Facebook.. Follow us on Twitter.

If you?re eyeing your living room or a bedroom for a remodel, here?s something to think about along with selections and budget. Consider incorporating some of the principles of feng shui, which is the ancient art of placement based on the belief that everything has energy.? It explores how energy in an environment affects your life, and how to improve this flow of energy (also known as Chi) to promote a healthier balance in your life.

Previously, we discussed feng shui tips for a kitchen or bathroom remodel. Now let?s look at how to create better energy in your living room or bedroom.

Feng Shui Tips for Bedrooms

02 feng shui bedroom1 Feng Shui for a Living Room or Bedroom Remodel

Bedrooms tend to represent relationships so focus on serenity, intimacy and coziness for these rooms.? Principles include:

? Use subtle lighting
? Paint and decorate with warm colors like browns, lavender, creams, chocolates, earth tones;? cold colors like whites, blues and greens are not the best choices for bedrooms.
? Use comfortable furnishings, with soft edges, avoiding sharp corners or angles.
? Put a night stand on each side of the bed, and keep walk paths on both sides of the bed to encourage equality.
? Make the view across from your bed a relaxing or inspiring one because this will be the first thing you see in the morning and the last thing you see at night.

03 feng shui bed power positions1 Feng Shui for a Living Room or Bedroom Remodel

? Position your bed in one of the ?power positions? (above) to avoid disrupting sleep or causing health issues.
? Avoid placing heavy artwork or d?cor above your headboard that could fall off and hurt you.
? Avoid placing your bed under a window if possible.
? Decorate in pairs; use two vases, candles or lights to strengthen the unity of your relationship.

Feng Shui Tips for Living Rooms

04 feng shui living room1 Feng Shui for a Living Room or Bedroom Remodel

Living Rooms are said to suggest the type of relationships you have with other people, and therefore should be comfortable, welcoming and relaxing. They can tell the world who you are and how you like to express yourself.? Ways to achieve this include:

? Display photos of family, friends and inspirational people.
? Use colors you that you enjoy or make you happy.
? Have enough seating for each family member if they were to gather at one time.
? Group furniture in ways that encourage conversation.
? Keep the room well lit; during the day bring in as much natural light as possible, and at night use many layers of light.
? Arrange the TV and other electronics so they can be hidden when not in use.
? Position the main piece of sitting furniture so you can see the front door without having to turn around.
? Avoid using furniture with sharp edges or corners, and the same applies to plants with sharp leaves!

The art of feng shui promotes living gracefully and productively, and many of these tips are relatively simple to incorporate into your living room or bedroom remodeling project. Should you need help, the designers and carpenters at St. Louis remodeling company Mosby Building Arts would be happy to help you bring better energy to your home. Call the Mosby office at 314.909.1800 or contact them here.

Remember all of that controversy last year surrounding the choice of People's Sexiest Man Alive? The title went to (then) surprisingly inactive Bradley Cooper, who was between movies and generally not as universally loved as the cover model usually is, instead of the obvious choice Ryan Gosling.

Obama to make statement at 5:45 p.m.: White House

Scientologists may be facing their most daunting court case yet, and all it took was for someone to stop calling them a cult. After a years long legal battle, federal prosecutors in?Belgium now believe their investigation is complete enough to charge the Church of Scientology and its leaders as a criminal organization on charges of extortion, fraud, privacy breaches, and the illegal practice of medicine. "The decision follows years of investigation that was triggered by a complaint by the Labour Mediation Service in the Brussels Region. ...

Bias complaint? Beware retaliation claim, too ? Business ...

Here?s an important reminder for employers when an employee alleges discrimination. Regardless of the merit of the original claim, remind supervisors they can?t retaliate.

Complaining is so-called protected activity; punishing an employee for that protected activity is illegal retaliation. It doesn?t matter whether the original complaint pans out.

Recent case: William worked for a union, attempting to organize Texas employees of the Transportation Security Administration. William is white. The woman who supervised him at the time is not.

William complained to other supervisors, as well as HR, that his supervisor made racial slurs that ought to be offensive to blacks. He said she called him a ?young white boy? who got the job because of his race. She also allegedly told him that she got her job by performing a sex act.

The union response was to tell William he had to get along with his supervisor and get used to her name-calling because that?s the way things worked.

Shortly afterward, he got into a shouting match with the supervisor. He was fired almost immediately because she told HR that she felt physically threatened.

William sued, alleging a hostile work environment, race discrimination and retaliation.

The court made quick work of the first two claims. It explained that the comments, though perhaps offensive, weren?t pervasive, frequent or severe enough to break the law.

However, the court said Will?iam?s retaliation case could go to trial. It noted that he had been praised for good work and that the timing was highly suspect. (Cuth??bert??son v. American Fed??er??a??tion of Government Em??ployees, No. 3:10-CV-2107, ND TX, 2012)

Final note: The union will have to show the jury either that William didn?t do a good job or that he really made a threat.

Wild Christmas Weather

By Steve Strouss

A large storm is sweeping across the country this Christmas Day with Snow, Ice & Heavy Rain. The storm has also spawned a few tornadoes and brought severe weather to parts of the Southeast US. Over a dozen states have already been effected by this massive system and Winter Storm Warnings are now out from Oklahoma all the way to Maine.

Blizzard Warnings remain in effect for parts of Arkansas and Missouri this evening where over a foot of the white stuff is forecasted. Meanwhile travel will be difficult if not impossible as several interstates and airports have already been impacted across the central plains and Midwest. Tornadoes have touched
down in parts of Mississippi & Alabama and damage there is expected to be in the hundreds of thousands.

Closer to home, a Flood Watch has been issued for Philadelphia and surrounding counties Wednesday evening through Thursday morning. As much as 2? of rain can fall and that could lead to some flooding on area roadways, creeks and streams. Rain will be heavy at times Wednesday night before tapering off during the pre-dawn hours. The wind will also be a concern as gusts could exceed 40 mph and that could lead to downed tree branches and holiday decorations.

In the Poconos, a Winter Storm Watch is in effect for up to 4 inches of snow (locally higher). Snow could also mix with ice and that could lead to slippery spots across the region. In the Lehigh Valley, Snow will mix with and change over rain as warmer air moves in later Wednesday night. All in all, it will be a very messy Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

The region will see a brief break later this week with some sunshine and then another large storm will take aim on our area this weekend. Right now we think colder air will be in place for the 2nd storm but there may be less moisture and that will keep accumulations down. We will keep you posted with any changes. Until then, Happy Holidays!

Dot Earth Blog: Dot Shot: Tiger Cubs in Russia's Far East

The Wildlife Conservation Society is reporting that this year has seen significant progress in safeguarding tigers and some of their last havens in Russia, Thailand and India ? three countries where the endangered species still has a solid base from which populations could expand if protections increase. The organization today released this image, taken by an automated camera last year in eastern Siberia.

The Green Blog has much of the background on developments in these three countries.

PFT: 49ers lose WR Manningham to torn ACL

TebowGetty Images

Lost in the reports and debates regarding Tim Tebow?s Wildcat tap out is the fact that the situation sparked the latest case of ESPN-on-ESPN crime.

Actually, it was more like an ESPN Battle Royal.

It started when Rich Cimini and Jane McManus of ESPNNewYork.com jointly reported on Sunday that Tebow asked to be omitted from the Wildcat package in Week 16 because the coaching staff had skipped over him when benching Mark Sanchez.? (You know, the same way the Broncos skipped over Brady Quinn when benching Kyle Orton in 2011.)

In an effort to control the damage, Tebow provided his version of the events to Adam Schefter of ESPN.? In exchange for the exclusive scoop, Schefter obviously had no choice but to pass along Tebow?s tale as he told it, without scrutiny or skepticism or cynicism.

And Tebow didn?t say that he had asked out of the Wildcat package, necessarily putting the spirit if not the letter of the two ESPN reports at odds.

But the conflict didn?t become obvious until Schefter, Merril Hoge, and Ron Jaworski appeared on the air to discuss the situation, via USAToday.com.? Schefter started by dutifully repeated what he had reported, without comment or opinion or editorial.

Enter Jaworski and Hoge, both of whom pressed Schefter for clarity as to the notion that Tebow told coach Rex Ryan that he didn?t want to play in the Wildcat package.? Schefter reiterated the guts of his report, skipping over the most important piece of information, apparently because either Schefter didn?t ask or Tebow didn?t tell.

?To me, it smells like three-day-old fish, OK?? Hoge said of Tebow?s story, which came only from Schefter?s report.? ?I think he?s phony as a three-dollar bill.? Because at the end of the day, what have I heard?? That he will do anything at any time.? You ask me to do it, I?ll do it.? And all of a sudden now that?s unacceptable?? That?s all of a sudden, ?Now I want to play quarterback or I?m not gonna play Wildcat?? . . . ? Tim Tebow, being the teammate he says he is, accepts that.? Because he says I?ll do anything for the team.? That?s all I?ve ever heard about him.? Well I think this sound shows really what he?s about.?

Jaworski then tried to suggest that Tebow never said he wouldn?t play Wildcat quarterback, citing derisively (and with air quotes) that it?s merely been ?reported? via ?sources.?? And in so doing, jumping off the top rope and landing on the work of Cimini and McManus.

Enter Schefter, who then explained that it was a ?culmination of a full season of frustration and disappointment,? and that ?somehow it?s morphed into ?I?m taking myself out.??

Hoge then made an observation that Schefter and Jaworski arguably ignored when subtly pile-driving the reporting of their colleagues, Cimini and McManus.? ?If you are for the team and that is what you do care about,? Hoge said, ?then guess what?? Whatever that coach makes, that decision, sure you can be upset, but you still do what you can for the team.? You don?t make a rift, you don?t sit there and argue.?

Next, Jaworski revisited the question of whether Tebow said what Cimini and McManus claim he said.? ?I want Tim Tebow, if this was said, to say on Tuesday, ?I told Rex Ryan I don?t want to take the Wildcat snaps,?? Jaworski said.? ?We?ve got a lot of hearsay here.?

And in that one swing, Jaworski again questioned the veracity of his colleagues? original report and indirectly chided Schefter for not asking the obvious follow-up questions when talking to Tebow.

Either way, it should be no surprise that the implosion of Tebow?s 2012 season created chaos at the network that was devoted to covering it.

GTKY: Holidays With Family - Pregnancy Message Boards - The Bump

How do you and your SO handle holidays in terms of visiting family? Do you anticipate that changing when you have kids? If you already have kids, did it change?

My family has always done Christmas Eve together and now that my brother and I are both married i am trying to get my family to rotate houses every year, both my parents and brother have Cats that I am deathly allergic too and it isn't fair I have to spend the night drugged to high heaven to celebrate with them. Christmas Eve probably won't change once there are kids!

Christmas Day we get together with Hs family, usually driving an hour to his sisters and they originally wanted us to be there super early to watch her kids open gifts. I put my foot down after the first year because I know when we have kids I will want them to have Christmas morning with us first before we travel anywhere. So I have said we will not be anywhere Christmas Morning until after 11am. His family doesn't entirely seem to understand why because his parent lug their gifts to each other up to his sisters house every year so everyone can watch them open them and H wanted to do that too and I said I don't get it, why can't we just tell them what we gave each other. He seems okay with that and it is nice to stay in jammies and open gifts before rushing around.

Wall Street falls on fiscal cliff setback

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks finished lower on Friday after a Republican plan to avoid the "fiscal cliff" failed to gain sufficient support on Thursday night, draining hopes that a deal would be reached before 2013.

Still, stocks managed to rebound from the day's lows near the end of the session, and for the week, major averages still ended higher, with the S&P 500 gaining 1.2 percent.

Trading was volatile as confidence eroded in the prospect of a deal out of Washington, and in part due to quarterly expiration of options and futures contracts. The CBOE Volatility Index or VIX, the market's favored anxiety measure, finished below its high of the day.

Republican House Speaker John Boehner failed to garner enough votes from even his own party to pass his "Plan B" tax bill late on Thursday. It was the latest setback in negotiations to avoid $600 billion in tax hikes and spending cuts that some say could tip the U.S. economy into recession.

"The failure with Plan B was disappointing, if not terribly surprising, but now there's a real lack of clarity about what will happen, and markets hate that," said Mike Hennessy, managing director of investments for Morgan Creek in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Herbalife dropped for an eighth straight session. Investor Bill Ackman recently ramped up his campaign against the company. The company skidded 19 percent to $27.27 and has lost more than 35 percent this week.

Plan B, which called for tax increases on those who earn $1 million or more a year, was not going to pass the Democratic-led Senate or win acceptance from the White House anyway. But it exposed the reality that it will be difficult to get Republican support for the more expansive tax increases that President Barack Obama has urged.

Still, the declines of less than 1 percent in the three major U.S. stock indexes suggest that investors do not believe the economy will be unduly damaged by the absence of a deal, said Mark Lehmann, president of JMP Securities, in San Francisco.

"You could have easily woken up today and seen the market down 300 or 400 points, and everyone would have said, 'That's telling you this is really dire,'" Lehmann said.

"I think if you get into mid-January and (the talks) keep going like this, you get worried, but I don't think we're going to get there."

Banking shares, which outperform during economic expansion and have led the market on signs of progress on resolving the fiscal impasse, led declines. Citigroup Inc fell 1.6 percent to $39.49, while Bank of America slid 1.9 percent to $11.29. The KBW Banks index lost 1.19 percent.

Volatility on Friday was exacerbated in part by "quadruple witching," the quarterly expiration of stock index futures and options, stock options and single stock futures contracts.

About 8.59 billion shares changed hands on major U.S. exchanges, more than the daily average of 6.47 billion daily in 2012, in part due to expiration.

The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 120.72 points, or 0.91 percent, to 13,191.00. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 13.52 points, or 0.94 percent, to 1,430.17. The Nasdaq Composite Index lost 29.38 points, or 0.96 percent, to 3,021.01.

"Amazingly, this sharp decline today may not actually change the technical picture much - unless the decline gets worse," said Larry McMillan, president of options research firm McMillan Analysis Corp, in a research note.

The day's round of data indicated the economy was surprisingly resilient in November; consumer spending rose by the most in three years and a gauge of business investment jumped.

But separate data showed consumer sentiment slumped in December. The S&P Retail Index fell 1.2 percent.

U.S.-listed shares of Research in Motion sank 22.7 percent to $10.91 after the Canadian company, known as the BlackBerry maker, reported its first-ever decline in its subscriber numbers on Thursday alongside a new fee structure for its high-margin services segment.

(AP) ? Rebels have threated to storm two predominantly Christian towns in central Syria if residents do not "evict" government troops they say are using the towns as a base to attack nearby areas.

A video released by rebels showed Rashid Abul-Fidaa, who identified himself as the commander of the Ansar Brigade for Hama province, calling on locals in Mahrada and Sqailbiyeh to rise up against President Bashar Assad's forces or prepare for an assault.

"Assad's gangs in the cities are shelling our villages with mortars and rockets destroying our homes, killing our children and displacing our people," said Abdul-Fidaa, who wore an Islamic headband and was surrounded by gunmen. "You should perform your duty by evicting Assad's gangs," he said. "Otherwise our warriors will storm the hideouts of the Assad gangs."

Abdul-Fidaa accused regime forces of taking positions in the two towns in order to "incite sectarian strife" between Christians and the predominantly Sunni opposition. Assad belongs to the Alawite minority sect, an off-shoot of Shiite Islam.

The threat comes just two days after a U.N. team investigating human rights abuses in Syria accused anti-Assad militants of hiding among the civilian population, triggering strikes by government artillery and the air force.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the activist group which reported the rebel ultimatum on Saturday, said such an attack by rebels could force thousands of Christians from their homes.

Russia's foreign minister, meanwhile, said that Moscow would welcome any country's offer of a safe haven to Assad, but underlined that Moscow itself has no intention of giving him shelter if he steps down.

Sergei Lavrov also said that Syria has consolidated its chemical weapons into one or two locations to protect them from a rebel onslaught. Russia, which has military advisers training Syria's armed forces, has kept close watch over Damascus's chemical arsenal, Lavrov added.

Syria refuses to confirm or deny if it has chemical weapons but is believed to have nerve agents as well as mustard gas. It also possesses Scud missiles capable of delivering them.

Concerns over the arsenal have escalated as the Assad regime suffers losses on the battlefield. U.S. intelligence officials have said it may be readying chemical weapons and could be desperate enough to use them. Both Israel and the U.S. have also expressed concerns the weapons could fall into militant hands if the regime crumbles.

Syria's conflict started 21 months ago as an uprising against Assad, whose family has ruled the country for four decades. But the bloody crackdown that followed led rebels to take up arms, and the ensuing fighting transformed into a civil war. According to activists, more than 40,000 people have been killed since March 2011.

Christians, who make up about 10 percent of Syria's population, say they are particularly vulnerable to the violence sweeping the country of 22 million people. They are fearful that Syria will become another Iraq, with Christians caught in the crossfire between rival Islamic groups.

Clashes between troops and rebels in the central city of Homs, Syria's third largest, have already displaced tens of thousands of Christians, most of whom either fled to the relatively safe coastal areas or to neighboring Lebanon.

Rami Abdul-Rahman, who heads the Observatory, said some Christians and Alawites have also left Hama province in the past several days to escape violence. He said some of them found shelter in the coastal city of Tartus.

In Damascus, the new head of the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch said that Christians in Syria had deep roots in the country and were not part of the conflict. Speaking to reporters in the capital, Patriarch John X. Yazigi, urged rival factions to negotiate a settlement.

Violence continued elsewhere in the country on Saturday.

The Observatory said a car bomb went off in the Damascus neighborhood of Qaboun, killing at least five people and wounding others. A Syrian official in the capital confirmed the blast but had no immediate words on casualties.

Elsewhere, the Syrian army said in a statement carried on state-run TV that it had repelled a rebel attack on a military base that killed a regimental commander in the Damascus suburb of Chebaa.

And in Damascus, the state-run news agency SANA said gunmen assassinated Haider al-Sammoudi, a cameraman for the government's TV station. Several journalists working for state media have been assassinated over the past months.

In another development, 11 rebel groups said they have formed a new coalition, the Syrian Islamic Front.

A statement issued by the new group, dated Dec. 21 and posted on a militant website Saturday, described the group as "a comprehensive Islamic front that adopts Islam as a religion, doctrine, approach and conduct."

Several rebel groups have declared their own coalitions in Syria, including an "Islamic state" in the embattled northern city of Aleppo.

The statement said the new group will work to avoid differences or disputes with the other Islamic groups.

Syrian authorities meanwhile handed over to Beirut three Lebanese citizens who were killed last month in a clash with Syrian troops shortly after they crossed the border. Syria has so far returned 10 bodies to the Lebanese authorities and says it has no more.
