Ethnic Uzbeks vote for "another Putin" in Kyrgyzstan (Reuters)

TASHLYQ, Kyrgyzstan (Reuters) ? Ethnic Uzbeks voting in Kyrgyzstan's presidential election on Sunday backed a candidate with ties to Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin as the leader most likely to protect them from renewed violence in the former Soviet republic.

Kyrgyz Prime Minister Almazbek Atambayev, 55, is favorite to become the next president of the strategic Central Asian state of 5.5 million people.

"Here in Kyrgyzstan, he is called 'Another Putin'," said Bakhriniso Rakhmanova, a 58-year-old resident of Tashlyq, a village on the edge of the southern Kyrgyz city of Osh.

Mainly Muslim Kyrgyzstan lies along a major drug route out of Afghanistan and hosts a U.S. military air base that supports the war there. Russia also operates an air base in the country.

Osh was the epicenter of clashes between ethnic Kyrgyz and Uzbeks that killed nearly 500 people in June 2010, three months after the president had been deposed by a popular uprising.

"Atambayev heads the government and we hope that he will not allow this tragedy to be repeated," ethnic Uzbek Akhmatzhon Kasymov, 62, said after voting. His house, big enough to accommodate three families, was burned down in the riots.

Both sides suffered casualties during several days of violence, but ethnic Uzbeks comprise the majority of those prosecuted since. Many complain of daily harassment.

"A young Kyrgyz started on me on the bus only yesterday," said Rakhmanova, a Tajik by ethnicity who has lived among the Uzbek community since childhood.

"They said: 'Go back to your Tashkent'."

RUSSIAN TIES

Atambayev has visited Putin several times, building close ties with his country's Soviet-era master before an election that will test reforms set in motion after the 2010 revolt to make parliament the main decision-making body in Kyrgyzstan.

He has hinted that the U.S. lease on its air base might not be renewed beyond 2014, a move that would please Moscow, and supports the idea of Kyrgyzstan joining a Customs Union between Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

Kyrgyzstan's government even named a peak in the Tien Shan mountains after Putin, who last month declared his intention to reclaim the Russian presidency in an election next March.

Bakhodyr, an ethnic Uzbek food technology specialist who works on construction sites, said he had voted for Atambayev because the prime minister had visited Russia and Uzbekistan.

But he said life would never be the same again. "The Kyrgyz insult us daily," he said. "You can't go out after six o'clock in the evening. You could be accosted or taken to the police."

Atambayev's main rivals for the presidency, Adakhan Madumarov and Kamchibek Tashiyev, are expected to perform well in the south. Though both can draw on the Kyrgyz nationalist vote in the south, both candidates strongly reject the 'nationalist' label.

"How can you call me a nationalist?" Tashiyev told a news conference before the election. "My children study in Russia. My wife is Kazakh, and I live among Uzbeks and saved thousands of Uzbek lives," he said, referring to the June 2010 violence.

Nevertheless, they have the support of many Kyrgyz voters in Osh and the surrounding area. Kairat, a police lieutenant posted to keep order in the ethnic Kyrgyz village of Gulbakhor, said he believed Atambayev was "highly unpopular" locally.

Anarbai Saidiyev, a 50-year-old farmer, said he had voted for Madumarov, a former deputy prime minister. "He was once a good parliamentarian and he will be an honest president, who will finally put the country in order," Saidiyev said.

The real oil for blood

First we let the Lockerbie bomber go free to appease BP. Now this, from the New York Times: ?WASHINGTON ? The guns in Libya have barely quieted, and NATO?s military assistance to the rebellion that toppled Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi will not end officially until Monday. But a new invasion force is already plotting its own landing on the shores of Tripoli. Western security, construction and infrastructure companies that see profit-making opportunities receding in Iraq and Afghanistan have turned their sights on Libya, now free of four decades of dictatorship. Entrepreneurs are abuzz about the business potential of a country with huge needs and the oil to pay for them, plus the competitive advantage of Libyan gratitude toward the United States and its NATO partners.?

The very things the left falsely accused President George Walker Bush are the things President Barack Obama does.

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) ? After a years-long delay, an Earth-observing satellite blasted into space early Friday on a dual mission to improve weather forecasts and monitor climate change.

A Delta 2 rocket carrying the NASA satellite lifted off shortly before 3 a.m. from the central California coast. The satellite was boosted into an orbit 500 miles above Earth about an hour after launch.

NASA invited a small group of Twitter followers to watch the pre-dawn launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base.

The satellite joins a fleet already circling the planet, collecting information about the atmosphere, oceans and land. The latest ? about the size of a small SUV ? is more advanced. It carries four new instruments capable of making more precise observations.

Tim Dunn, a launch director for NASA, said in streaming commentary on the agency's website that the flight "went terrific" and there "is a lot of celebration in the control room right now."

Dunn said the weather was nearly perfect for the launch. The skies were clear and winds minimal.

Meteorologists will use the data to improve their forecasts of hurricanes and other extreme weather while climate researchers hope to gain a better understanding of long-term climate shifts.

Many satellites currently in orbit are aging and will need to be replaced. The newest satellite is intended to be a bridge between the current fleet and a new generation that NASA is developing for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The $1.5 billion mission's path to the launch pad has been rocky. It was originally scheduled to fly in 2006, but problems during development of several instruments led to a delay.

Engineers will spend some time checking out the satellite's instruments before science operations begin. Built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. in Boulder, Colo., the satellite is expected to orbit the Earth for five years.

More Android devices, more downloads than iOS

Editors' Choice apps from the Android Market

By Athima Chansanchai

With so many more models than the iPhone, it's no wonder that Android devices have finally surpassed iOS in mobile app downloads, with 44 percent of the market share vs.?31 percent.

ABI Research released the figures Monday, at about the same time that another study showed a gain in Android apps ? 500,000 (vs. Apple's 600,000).

"Android?s open source strategy is the main factor for its success," says Lim Shiyang, an ABI?research associate, in a statement released with the findings. "Being a free platform has expanded the Android device install base, which in turn has driven growth in the number of third party multi-platform and mobile operator app stores. These conditions alone explain why Android is the new leader in the mobile application market."???

But in both cases,?it's not a pure numbers game.?Quantity doesn't necessarily translate to quality.

German-based research2guidance reported that more than 37 percent of the apps published in the Android Market were later removed "for various reasons, whereas the Apple App Store has removed just 24 percent of published apps in comparison."

It seems that since Apple is more discriminating about its apps, its users are also more appreciative of that screening process.

"Despite leading in total mobile application downloads, Android's app downloads per user still lag behind Apple?s by 2-to-1," adds ABI's Dan Shey, practice director of mobile services, in the same statement. "Apple's superior monetization policies attracted good developers within its ranks, thus creating a better catalog of apps and customer experience."

Overall though, it's an app-crazy world, with all downloads expected to hit 29 billion by the end of this year, compared to 9 billion last year. But let's be real ? it's so easy to tap that download button on just about anything that catches the eye, and you probably have a lot of apps that you never use, or just as quickly uninstall.

While one analyst interpreted a first-ever drop in U.S. smartphone sales as an indication that Android had hit its peak and was on its way down, the decline in the third quarter could also be attributed to those who were waiting for the next iPhone to arrive, or the next iteration of their particular Android?handset.

Man reports date as burglar when girlfriend shows

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (AP) ? Police say a man's girlfriend unexpectedly came home just before another woman was due to visit, so he called police to report his new acquaintance as a burglar.

The Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/vfcH8c ) that 24-year-old Kevin Gaylor was cited with a misdemeanor of false reporting to authorities.

Police say Gaylor had invited a woman he met online to come to his home after 3 a.m. Wednesday so they could get better acquainted, but his girlfriend came home first.

Police say that when the other woman arrived, Gaylor called police and falsely reported an intrusion.

Gaylor has an unlisted phone number and couldn't be reached for comment.

The human cost of defending Libya's oil (Reuters)

AMAL, Libya (Reuters) ? Abdula Altako was killed in March guarding the oil field he worked for, one of the first but by no means the last of Libya's oil workers to die defending the country's lifeblood.

Abandoned by their foreign owners during the uprising against Muammar Gaddafi, the fields have been watched over by local workers aiming to deter looters and prevent facilities from falling into disrepair.

Altako, who worked for private German oil and gas company Wintershall, was starting his morning guard shift when he was ambushed and shot dead in his car.

"We have a lot of patriots protecting fields. I signed orders that sent engineers out that ended up dying," interim oil and finance minister Ali Tarhouni told Reuters in an interview.

Tarhouni credits the heroism of ordinary Libyans for the fact that the industry is returning to normal faster than expected. But the sacrifice will come to nothing if oil firms are not prepared to send foreign workers back.

OIL OIL OIL

Libya is reliant on oil for about 80 percent of its GDP, exporting around 1.3 million barrels of oil per day before the war. Other potential sources of wealth -- a neglected tourism industry and unexploited mineral reserves in the south -- will take time to develop.

Almost all of Libya's estimated $170 billion in assets are still frozen despite sweeping pledges to make funds available, and the country is desperate for cash.

It is little wonder then that there are still many Libyans prepared to make dangerous journeys to isolated areas of the vast Saharan desert, accompanied by squads of rebel fighters or simply armed locals, to evaluate the damage inflicted by the war and to carry out essential repairs.

"Makes sense really; no point in getting rid of the regime if you're not willing to then do what it takes to repair the damage to the economy (and) oil sector," said Zara Rahman, a researcher at OpenOil, an organization that promotes transparency in the oil industry.

Rahman spent a week in October interviewing oil workers at different companies in Libya for an OpenOil report.

"Given the high level of education that is required to have any sort of position in the oil sector, they're all educated enough to realize that the oil sector is what drives the Libyan economy," she said.

But there are still few signs foreign oil firms are prepared to take the plunge.

Oil companies are still mainly visible only in hotel lobbies in the form of security contractors hired to assess infrastructure and monitor threats to security. The first step no doubt, but it is only a tentative move.

The few foreign engineers here are understandably rattled by the constant ring of gunfire even in supposedly peaceful areas like Tripoli, where gun battles between rebels and pockets of Gaddafi loyalists erupted in four districts only a week ago.

Anti-aircraft rocket launchers and machine guns mounted on pick-up trucks across the capital and fighters brandishing AK-47s at every turn do little to soothe worries about further outbreaks of violence.

Foreigners are also disgruntled about a perceived build-up in tension within the new government and between tribes, and some are preparing for the worst.

"They put a lot of pressure on us to come back. But you'll see, in a month we'll be gone again," said one Italian engineer, one of the first to be sent back by the foreign oil company he works for.

SAFETY ISSUES REMAIN PARAMOUNT

The dangers that local oil workers are agreeing to undertake to restart production remain unthinkable to many in the west.

Wintershall, Libya's second largest foreign oil producer, succeeded in restarting output largely thanks to a small, mustachioed colonel.

Abelulla Mahdy volunteered to fly a team of around 20 of the company's Libyan employees past the battlefield at Sirte, Gaddafi's hometown and the city outside which he was killed last week, and over the Sahara for nearly 200 km (125 miles) to a base at an oil field called Amal, an hour's drive to the Wintershall site.

The flight required special permission from NATO and the usual company plane had to be left behind in Tripoli.

"The pilot was too frightened to fly," said Mahdy, dressed in his usual army-green jumpsuit, the lines on his deeply tanned face creasing into a grin.

Mahdy flew the team in a small cargo plane. Many of the passengers spent the two-hour flight on the freezing floor in between luggage, munching on cakes, flatbreads and cheese distributed by two engineers who had volunteered to act as stewards. As the plane began its descent, the tension in the air broke into smiles and laughter.

"The most important thing is that Libyans restart production," said Sammy Nuas, one of the workers who had volunteered to return.

Many workers are anxious, however, worried that they are sitting ducks in the middle of the Sahara, armed with only a handful of Kalashnikovs and a few machine guns. Militia armed by Gaddafi still roam the desert and remote oil fields are obvious and vulnerable targets for groups aiming to weaken the new government.

Without the help of foreign workers, flows can only ramp up to a third or at best half of capacity depending on the field, Libyans say. The speed with which flows rise is tied to the state of wells and pipelines that have not been used for eight or nine months.

Even at Wintershall's site, which pumped close to 100,000 barrels of oil per day before the war -- and where there is no trace of the battle that has scarred other parts of Libya -- it could take six months or more for flows to reach their pre-war output rate, according to workers onsite.

"It all depends on conditions here, whether pipelines are in good condition or we find leaks," said Salah Abdulmalik, a product controller.

The return to production could take much longer in areas sabotaged or looted during the war, and some sites were even bombed by NATO because they were being used as a base for Gaddafi's fighters.

ALONE AND ARMED

In the southwest region of Fezzan, the scale of destruction at two huge sites that produced almost half a million barrels per day is severe, and firms have taken the first step of deploying small teams with squads of fighters to assess damage and begin making essential repairs. It could be many months before significant volumes of oil begins flowing from this area.

Meanwhile, in early October, even in safer, southeastern parts of the oil-rich Sirte basin, local workers were alone and still prepared for the worst.

Close to Wintershall's site in the southeast, at the Amal oil field joint-operated by Canadian oil firm Suncor, the manager recounted how locals defended the site from looters and attacks during the war and were ready to face more action.

When war broke out, they obtained weapons from the local authority and were briefly shown how to use them. Then, alone, they mounted a defense for eight long months.

"We loaded trucks with missile launchers and coordinated with towns close by to protect the fields," said Saad Ali Eshiem, who oversees the 50 or so workers who have returned so far.

The field's 24-hour patrols continued and machine guns were still mounted in a row on pick-up trucks standing to attention in the shade.

Mohammad Zuay, a 26-year-old oil worker on patrol, was armed with a Kalashnikov. When asked if he had ever had to fire his gun, he broke out into a tired smile.

"Many times," he replied.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? "Paranormal Activity 3" didn't just go bump in the night. It made a ton of noise at the box office with a huge, $54 million opening.

The third film in Paramount's low-budget horror franchise was No. 1 at the box office, according to Sunday studio estimates. Part two also debuted in the top spot a year ago with $40.7 million

"Paranormal Activity 3" is actually a prequel, with the discovery of disturbing home-movie footage from 1988. Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, who made the creepy documentary "Catfish," took over directing duties this time.

Is Sunday's European debt crisis summit sunk before it even starts?

With German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy at odds over how to leverage bailout funds, hopes for a solution from Sunday's debt crisis summit are wavering.

?Disastrous? was the word Eurogroup chairman and Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker used to describe the possibility that Sunday's EU summit in Brussels would not, as expected, come up with a solution to the euro debt crisis.

Skip to next paragraph

But it is almost certain that European leaders will not reach the eagerly awaited decision on scaling up the euro bailout fund, the EFSF, at the Sunday meeting. A second meeting has already been called for Wednesday of next week.

Financial experts agree with Mr. Juncker?s opinion that delaying the deal gives the eurozone and its ability to act a bad image. But they differ in their opinion on how to get a grip on the debt crisis as much as the politicians do.

The reason for the delay is disagreement between France and Germany on the methods for giving the euro rescue fund more clout. Both countries see some kind of leverage ? increasing the effectiveness of the fund without actually raising the amount of capital it is holding ? as the way to regain the trust of investors in eurozone economies. Currently the EFSF holds 440 billion euro, with a guarantee sum of 780 billion. Through leverage, this amount is expected to rise to 2 trillion euro. What they don't agree on is which model of leverage to use.

France wants to turn the EFSF into a bank, which ? healthily capitalized as it is ? could then turn to the European Central Bank (ECB) for credit that countries like Greece or Portugal won?t get anywhere else.

Germany is strictly opposed to such a move. Finance Minister Wolfgang Sch?uble called it ?a license for printing money,? posing the risk of inflation and violating the statutes of the ECB, which is dedicated to impartiality and price stability.

?The eurozone should have such a monetary tool,? says Xavier Timbeau, director of analysis at the Center for Economic Research OFCE in Paris. ?The Fed in the United States, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan ? they all intervene by buying up government bonds. Why should we deprive ourselves of such a possibility??

Colorado guitarist dies after fight with bandmate (AP)

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. ? A Colorado Springs rock musician has died after he was punched and knocked to the ground in a fight involving other members of his band.

Police say Terry Span died Thursday, 12 days after the fight outside a club where the band had played. The 48-year-old Aleister Wild guitarist had been in a coma.

The coroner says the cause of death was a closed head injury.

Thirty-nine-year-old Michael Sorden was arrested on assault charges after the Oct. 8 fight. Police say prosecutors will decide whether to file other charges.

Sorden is a bass player in the band.

Another Aleister Wild member, vocalist Ernie Munoz, told The Gazette of Colorado Springs (http://bit.ly/qGeYHz) that Span was trying to calm Sorden after a dispute over loading the band members' equipment.

After low-key start, Romney talks of winning Iowa (AP)

SIOUX CITY, Iowa ? Sensing an opening, Mitt Romney suddenly is talking about winning Iowa. The former Massachusetts governor had been focusing elsewhere and hadn't been to Iowa in two months. But now he's ramping up his efforts in the state little more than 10 weeks before its presidential caucuses that lead off the GOP nomination contests.

And, with the volatile race here anyone's for the taking, he's hoping for an outright victory that would propel him into the New Hampshire primary and states beyond.

"I will be here again and again, campaigning here. I'd love to win Iowa. Any of us would," Romney said, answering a voter's question at a campaign event at Morningside College in Sioux City.

At his next stop, in rural Treynor, east of Council Bluffs, Romney exuded confidence when he told his audience: "There's a good shot I might become the next president of the United States. It's not a sure thing, but it's a good shot."

His daylong trip through the most conservative part of the state came as polls show him at the top of the GOP field in the wake of a series of strong debate performances. His campaign is taking a more aggressive approach to Iowa in hopes that an outright victory will propel him into the New Hampshire primary and states beyond.

Until now, Romney has had a relatively low-key presence in Iowa.

He lost here in 2008 when he tried to convince voters he was a strong cultural conservative. But he couldn't sway influential evangelical conservatives ? they are concentrated heavily in the western part of the state and play an important role in the GOP caucuses ? to overlook their skepticism of his Mormon faith and his reversals on abortion and gay rights.

This time, Romney has been talking almost exclusively to business leaders about the economy in hopes of picking up support across the GOP's ideological spectrum. He's counting on his rivals, seen as more conservative, to divide the support of pastors, Christian home-school activists and evangelicals in general. They have not rallied around any one of his opponents as they did Mike Huckabee four years ago.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann both are making big plays for their support while others also are wooing them, including former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, businessman Herman Cain and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Most if not all of them will attend an event in Des Moines on Saturday, hosted by the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition, a group dominated by evangelical conservatives, though Romney is sitting it out.

Still, with the Jan. 3 caucuses coming into focus, Romney has decided to dig into the still wide-open race.

Most state lawmakers remain on the sidelines, along with top GOP officials. Sen. Chuck Grassley, for instance, said Wednesday he plans not to endorse a candidate before the caucuses.

There are risks. Should the former Massachusetts governor play hard in Iowa only to lose again, he'll be weakened.

In recent weeks, Romney's staff has started growing, though it remains lean by 2008 standards, when he blanketed the state's 99 counties with staffers, spent $10 million on TV and made dozens of visits.

This year, his handful of caucus organizers has been in close touch with his past supporters and birddogged county party organizations. They are building niche support groups with small business owners and the state's thriving agribusiness sector.

He's spent most of this year campaigning in New Hampshire and other states as he tried to lower any expectations that he will win in Iowa. He's spent no money on advertising in the state, and he made only his third trip this year on Thursday.

It came a week after a Perry supporter called Romney's religion a cult and just days after Perry and Romney tangled over illegal immigration, with the Texas governor recalling a 5-year-old episode in which illegal immigrations had been working on Romney's lawn.

But such issues ? as well as other hot-button cultural issues like gay marriage and abortion ? were absent or only came up briefly at his events Thursday. That could be because Romney typically holds his Iowa events in places of business where the focus is on the economy.

In Sioux City, Romney faced a friendly audience that questioned him primarily on jobs and economic issues.

Drawing a contrast to Perry at one point, Romney noted that he vetoed, as governor of Massachusetts, legislation like that which Perry signed in Texas allowing children of illegal immigrants to pay in-state college tuition. And he alluded to the attack he used against Perry in the debate, when he claimed that many of the jobs created in Texas went to illegal immigrants. His answers drew applause.

In Treynor, Romney bantered about the price of corn and types of cattle with a carefully assembled group of local business and community leaders. The discussion covered farming, education, clean coal, Israel and, of course, ethanol, critical to the local economy.

"I'm a friend of ethanol and at the same time I don't want to say that I'm going to be proposing new legislation to provide new subsidies," Romney said, walking a careful line of fiscal responsibility in front of an audience that's heavily invested in the ethanol industry.

"I think that time is now completed and we'll move on to encourage the availability for the American people to purchase ethanol on a choice basis," he said.

At an event at the Chamber of Commerce in Council Bluffs, a woman asked Romney how he planned to counter "misinformation" about his Mormon faith.

"A religious test shouldn't be applied to people who are running for public office," Romney said, to applause. "I am shaped by the Judeo-Christian values which I have and hope that those will hold me in good stead, as they have so far."

Unchanging Art Supplies

Technology in art supplies moves fast, and there are tons of amazing ways to enable new creative explorations appearing all the time. Wacom Inkling Pen. Lytro Light-Field Cameras. Terraskin paper made from stone.

Hyperferrule brain-to-glove painting device. ? Glendon Mellow. Any steampunk inventor/neurosurgeons out there want to co-manufacture these with me, gimme a call.

Innovations, especially digital ones, leave a swath of devastatingly outdated art materials in their wake. The Museum of Forgotten Art Supplies curated by Lou Brooks is there to document those left behind by trends and utility.

What about art supplies that are unchanging and (as close as you can get to) eternal in the human experience?

Last week, our SciAm blog peep Gozde Zorlu on Creatology reported on an amazing discovery. ?As chronicled in a study in Science, archaeologists led by Christopher Henshilwood of the universities of Bergen and Wiwatersrand found what appears to be a 100,ooo year old ochre workshop in a South African cave.??(Make sure to read Gozde?s post Stone Age Art Kit Found in South African Cave for photos and a link to a 60-second podcast!)

Along with umber and sienna, ochre pigments are among the earliest shades used for mark-making. ?They come from clays, and can range from yellowish-brown to reddish-brown and are also non-toxic. ?The abstract at Science also describes charcoal being found in the cave with the other supplies.

Both charcoal and ochre pigments (in watercolour, acrylic and oil paint; in pastel pencils, and Conte sticks) can be found on almost any foundation-year course list in leading art colleges ?today.

If you look closely enough, you'll find some stone age pigments mixing with modern chemistry.

Charcoal and ochre: are there other art supplies that have stood the test of time, and accompanied creative humans in our path from the stone age to the digital age?

Eminem, Lil Wayne Named 'Gods Of Rock' By GQ

Eminem might rap for a living, but when you examine his career trajectory, it reads more rock star than hip-hop heavyweight. No surprise, then, that GQ magazine named him a God of Rock and placed him alongside Keith Richards and Lil Wayne on their November cover.

Em and Lil Wayne were shot for the cover at the 2011 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in June, while the Rolling Stones guitarist was shot separately in New York. In a portfolio consisting of 43 such Gods of Rock, Eminem's story and photographs particularly stand out. In his feature, the 39-year old rhyme icon talked about his downward-spiraling addiction, which began with his 2000 album The Marshall Mathers LP and peaked during the recording of his fourth album Encore.

"Five or six songs leaked from the original version of Encore," Em told GQ Senior Editor Will Welch in an interview. "So I had to go in and make new songs to replace them. In my head, I was pissed off: 'Oh well. Songs leaked. F--- it. I'm just going to take a bunch of f---ing pills and go in there and have a party with myself.' I'm sure the more pills I took, the goofier I got."

The multiplatinum rapper now embraces his sobriety and utilizes his natural quirks to fuel his music. "The same way that his brain was wired that gave him problems with substances also sort of makes him a virtuoso," Welch told MTV News.

"I've realized that the way I am helps with the music. Sporadic thoughts will pop into my head and I'll have to go write something down, and the next thing you know, I've written a whole song in an hour," Em said in the magazine. "But sometimes it sucks, and I wish I was wired like a regular person and could go have a f---in' drink. But that's the biggest thing about addiction: When you realize that you cannot — for f---'s sake, you can not — f--- around with nothing ever again."

Em, however, is just one of several survivors GQ spotlights in a special portfolio, which was shot by Mark Seliger. Metallica, Robert Plant, Beck and Erykah Badu also appear. As for the three cover subjects, GQ wanted to pick prime examples of musical perseverance. "We wanted to answer the question: Who are the living legends out there that have survived against all adversity?" Welch explained. "It has to be people who are still incredibly influential. It can't be somebody who has been through hell and back and reached a zenith in their career in 1976 and isn't still relevant and isn't still making music."

GQ's November 2011 issue goes on sale October 25 nationwide.

State Dept. cites inquiry in Bahrain arms sales (AP)

WASHINGTON ? The State Department says it will consider a special investigation of human rights abuses in Bahrain before moving ahead with $53 million in arms sales to the violence-wracked country.

In a letter Tuesday to Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden, the department said it shared congressional concerns about Bahrain's actions against protesters.

At least 35 people have died since Bahrain's Shiite-led majority began protests in February seeking greater rights from the ruling Sunni monarchy in the strategic nation, which is home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.

The department said it will review the work of a special independent commission tasked with investigating human rights violations. The panel's work is due Oct. 30.

Wyden and Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern have introduced a resolution blocking the arms sales.

Heavy rains hammer Central America; 36 dead (AP)

SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador ? Heavy rains generated by a low-pressure system hammered Central America for a third day Friday, putting officials on alert in countries where mudslides and swollen rivers have already killed 36 people.

At least 21 people have been killed in Guatemala and thousands of others were evacuated or saw their homes destroyed by the incessant downpours.

In El Salvador, rivers have overflowed their banks, destroying villages and prompting an evacuation of about 4,000 people from their homes, the country's disaster management office said in a statement Friday.

In Honduras, six people have been killed in floods and the roads connecting the nation to Guatemala have been destroyed. Other communities have been left isolated by the floods. In Nicaragua, four people have died this week.

The system is expected to hover over the region for the next couple of days, generating more rainfall, said the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Irwin was weakening and drifting away from Mexico in the Pacific, three days after Hurricane Jova slammed into the same coast, killing six people.

Irwin's maximum sustained winds as of Friday afternoon were near 45 mph (75 kph), and the storm could begin weakening on Saturday, the hurricane center said.

Irwin was centered about 165 miles (265 kilometers) west of Manzanillo, Mexico, and moving south-southeast at about 2 mph (4 kph).
