A shed means many things to many people

If you can remember back many years when you paid a visit perhaps to your grandparents' house, you may well remember what we can describe as an old garden shed. It was probably made of timber, which had changed its appearance after many years of harsh weather conditions. It may have had a window with a cracked pane of glass. It probably had an old wooden door which didn't fit anymore allowing insects and cold winds to enter the shed through gaps in cracks. If it had any guttering that may well have collected dust and dirt over the years and it was not surprising to even see grass growing in the guttering. This was typical of many of the old Sheds Brisbane.

But that's not the case anymore. The modern sheds made of steel and painted in fresh garden-like colours are the standard bearers of today's outdoor structures. Today a shed or garage is super practical, they are built to last and look right at home in anyone's backyard. Because of the wide range of colours in which these steel garden sheds are built, it often looks like the building was meant to be where it is. It blends into the surroundings.

And unlike the old wooden Sheds Albany with their cracks, faded timber and rusty roof, today's steel sheds look great and continue looking great for years. No matter how severe the weather these sheds stand tall and proud providing storage for garden equipment and tools and may even is a workshop for someone with a hobby. Now not only made to last, they offer protection and security. The beautifully made door and window fit snugly and lock securely as well. You as the owner can sleep easy knowing your equipment are safe inside your shed or garage.

A second storage area

One of the terrific benefits of a new steel garage is that you now have extra space in which to 'hide' stuff. If your cupboards or Kit Homes Bendigo space in either or both your house and garage are full to overflowing, suddenly your Sheds Cairns has a real purpose. Take much of the overflow material from your house and store it safely in your shed. A garage can be used for all manner of things. Operate your hobby within the Sheds Bunbury. Use it as a temporary greenhouse as you prepare your bulbs for a new season of growing.

One of the great aspects of the steel shed is that the building can be erected in almost no time at all. If you visit a professional, a company which deals specifically with steel garden sheds, you'll get all the information you need and be able to choose the size and shape of the garden shed ideal for your situation. The quality of today's garden sheds is second to none. Do yourself a favour and give yourself a practical outdoor structure with loads of storage space.

Threatwatch: West Nile ? what is the actual risk?

Threatwatch is your early warning system for global dangers, from nuclear peril to deadly viral outbreaks. Debora MacKenzie highlights the threats to civilisation ? and suggests solutions

The news this week is full of stories of West Nile virus, with Dallas, Texas declaring a health emergency and launching aerial insecticide spraying after 200 known cases and 10 deaths from West Nile this summer. But how much of a threat is the virus really? And could a minor bout of West Nile actually be your best protection for the coming years?

Anything that kills people, of course, is by definition a concern. What is most worrying about West Nile is that it appears to be on the rise ? and virologists worry that this doesn't just mean more West Nile cases. It also means its nastier cousins, such as dengue, chikungunya and tick-borne encephalitis, could start booming as well.

West Nile virus normally infects birds, and is carried between them by mosquitoes. In temperate regions, the number of infected birds rises steadily after mosquitoes become active in spring. By late summer, so many birds have been infected that mosquito species that bite both birds and people occasionally carry the virus from a bird to a human. Horses are also severely affected.

Only one in five infected people develops any symptoms, and they are mostly flu-like. About one person in 150 ? mostly the elderly or people with impaired immunity ? develop serious, sometimes fatal, illness. Survivors of that may suffer kidney damage.

In Europe, there are outbreaks in humans most years, though they are sporadic, limited and "quite unpredictable", according to the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention in Stockholm, Sweden. But the virus is becoming endemic in parts of southern Europe.

There were 93 reported cases in Europe last year, mostly in Greece. There may be more this year after the virus turned up a few weeks early in Greece, Italy and Israel, possibly due to a warm spring and more mosquitoes.

West Nile was unknown in the western hemisphere until 1999, when it was accidentally introduced in New York, possibly from a bird imported from Israel. In a few years it swept across the Americas and is now endemic, with annual outbreaks. This year, those outbreaks have also started early: the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta reports 693 cases so far ? the highest number seen by mid-August since 1999. Of those, 26 have died.

Natural cycle

The surge could be a natural cycle: when the virus is prevalent, many birds are infected and become immune. As they do not transmit the virus, it becomes scarcer. A generation of birds then grows up with less infection and less immunity. They permit more spread of the virus, so it booms again, and the cycle repeats.

But the boom this year could also be due to hot weather, which boosts mosquito numbers and makes the virus multiply faster. Moreover, winter normally kills off the mosquitoes that carry the virus. "This year, with a mild winter, more mosquitoes survived and so we're seeing a bumper crop," says George DiFerdinando at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in Piscataway.

What can we do? There are West Nile vaccines for horses, but no vaccine or treatment for humans. Franz Heinz of the Medical University of Vienna thinks vaccine companies lost interest as case numbers fell in the US after a peak in 2003.

"In theory, we know a vaccine is possible. Several companies are working on human vaccines," though none are now in human trials, says Ab Osterhaus of Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. "It may not be cost-effective to mass vaccinate," he says, because West Nile causes relatively few deaths. This may limit corporate interest in spending millions on clinical trials.

Meanwhile, what boosts West Nile boosts other insect-borne viruses. "Things are moving; there is more and more out there," says Osterhaus, who helps organise Vectorie, a Europe-wide programme to coordinate research on insect-borne viruses, their vectors, and human disease.

For now, all we can do to avoid West Nile is wear insect repellent, drain stagnant water where mosquitoes breed, spray insecticide ? and be glad severe cases are rare in children. Those who unknowingly catch the virus this summer will have immunity and might be the best protected people as West Nile continues to boom.

World Muslim body suspends Syria's membership

The 57-member Organisation of Islamic Cooperation suspended Syria in a meeting attended by its staunch ally Iran, in a move hailed early Thursday by the United States as one that sends "a strong message" to Damascus.

A statement issued at the end of an OIC summit in the Saudi holy city of Mecca said participants had agreed on "the need to end immediately the acts of violence in Syria and to suspend that country from the OIC."

The final statement said there had been "deep concern at the massacres and inhuman acts suffered by the Syrian people."

OIC chief Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu told a news conference the decision sent "a strong message from the Muslim world to the Syrian regime."

"This world can no longer accept a regime that massacres its people using planes, tanks and heavy artillery," he added.

It was "also a message to the international community stating that the Muslim world backs a peaceful solution (in Syria), wants an end to the bloodshed and refuses to let the problem degenerate into a religious conflict and spill over" into the wider region, Ihsanoglu said.

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said that "today's action underscores the Assad regime's increasing international isolation and the widespread support for the Syrian people and their struggle for a democratic state that represents their aspirations and respects their human rights,"

The OIC "sent a strong message to the Assad regime by suspending Syria's membership in the OIC," Nuland said from Washington.

"The United States commends the OIC for its action and commitment to a peaceful resolution in Syria."

The emergency summit of the world's largest Islamic bloc opened late Tuesday with the suspension proposal put forward by a preparatory meeting of foreign ministers, a symbolic attempt to pile pressure on Damascus over its deadly crackdown on a 17-month uprising.

The move by the OIC, which represents 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide, is aimed at further isolating Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's embattled regime, but its effect is seen as being largely symbolic.

Syria was suspended from the Arab League last year over its clampdown on the uprising that Assad characterised as a plot by Western and rival powers to overthrow his regime.

The meeting called for the "immediate implementation of the transitional peace plan and the development of a peaceful mechanism that would allow building a new Syrian state based on pluralism, democratic and civilian system."

It also urged the UN Security Council to "assume fully its responsibility by stopping the ongoing violence and bloodshed in Syria and finding a peaceful and lasting solution to the Syrian crisis."

The participants also stressed "the principal responsibility of the Syrian government for the continuation of violence and bloodshed."

Algeria, Pakistan and Kazakhstan had called for the final statement of the summit, to which Damascus was not invited, to also pin blame on the armed opposition for the bloodshed in Syria, accor to informed sources at the summit.

And Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi proposed the formation of a committee grouping his country with key players Iran, Saudi Arabia and Turkey to try to find a settlement to the Syrian conflict, a delegate had said.

Saudi King Abdullah presided over the meeting, attended by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad whose country has openly criticised the push to suspend Syria.

Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi on Monday criticised the move to suspend Syria's membership of the OIC, saying it would not resolve the conflict and was not in line with the group's charter.

However, a source close to the participants told AFP that the Islamic Republic which had repeatedly voiced support to its Damascus ally met the decision with a "soft reaction."

Iran's president had avoided mention of the Syrian conflict in a 55-minute speech on Tuesday night as did Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah in his opening speech, indicating an accommodation between the region's superpowers who appeared on television footage to be chatting warmly during their meeting.

Tensions had been simmering for months between Sunni-dominated Saudi Arabia and Shiite-dominated Iran as Syria has emerged as another arena for the longtime rivalry between the two regional heavyweights.

"There has been a clear change in the Iranian position towards Syria," according to a diplomat at the Mecca summit.

In another conciliatory move, King Abdullah, whose country hosts the OIC headquarters in its Red Sea city of Jeddah, proposed Tuesday setting up a centre in Riyadh for dialogue between Muslim confessions.

Iran is the Syrian regime's biggest regional ally and has pledged its full support for Assad.

In a second statement called the "Mecca Pact," the participants proclaimed their support for "Muslim people who are oppressed like the Syrian people."

It underlined the summit's support for "the oppressed Muslim peoples... who face the combat aircraft and heavy guns of the regular armies as is the case of the Syrian people."

The statement backed cooperation between Muslim states, the fight against divisions between Muslims, promotion of "moderate" Islam and the "fight against terrorism and the thinking behind it."

It described as a "crime against humanity" the Myanmar government's handling of minority Muslims and reiterated support for the Palestinians.

A Diversion Without A Difference?

By MICHAEL FALCONE ( @michaelpfalcone ) and AMY WALTER ( @amyewalter )

NOTABLES:

MICHELLE OBAMA JOINS THE FRAY: ABC's David Muir reported last night for "World News" on the first time this campaign season First Lady Michelle Obama joined her husband in Iowa - a state President Obama won four years ago and a state Democrats are determined to hold onto. "Your president knows what it means when a family struggles. This is not a hypothetical situation for him, he knows what it means to want something better for your kids and your grandkids," Mrs. Obama said. WATCH: http://abcn.ws/OxFBPs

CONSOLATIONS PRIZES: Several of the runners-up in Mitt Romney's V.P. search received their consolation prize this morning when Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus announced Thursday a list of six new headline convention speakers. They include Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Florida Senate candidate and U.S. Rep. Connie Mack, and party-switching former Alabama congressman Artur Davis. The RNC has not yet released a schedule for its speakers.

MOVE ON MOVES TO OUTSOURCING. The advocacy group MoveOn.org Political Action released a new 30 second television ad going after Mitt Romney on outsourcing today. According to the group, "the ad's focus on the outsourcing threat posed by the Romney-Ryan ticket builds on the message of today's national MoveOn 'pink slip' day of action. In that action, MoveOn members will distribute 1 million pink slips to voters at over 300 events nationwide and online to amplify how the Ryan budget endorsed by Romney would kill 1 million jobs in one year of implementation." WATCH: http://bit.ly/OiERrP

COMING ATTRACTIONS: OBAMA TO THE GRANITE STATE: From the Obama campaign: "On Saturday, August 18, President Obama will travel to New Hampshire to attend grassroots events in Windham and Rochester. The President will discuss the choice in this election between two fundamentally different visions of how to grow the economy, create more middle-class jobs and pay down the debt."

THE NOTE:

If Mitt Romney's decision to announce his vice presidential pick earlier than most other presidential candidates in modern political history was supposed to turn the campaign away from the personal (his record at Bain, his refusal to release more than two years of tax returns, etc.) and back onto the sagging economy, it hasn't worked out that way.

At Paul Ryan's homecoming at his alma mater, Miami University of Ohio, the big takeaway was the Republican running mate's offensive play against President Obama on Medicare - an issue that wasn't out-front on the campaign trail until this week. http://abcn.ws/QDBxbI

Ryan accused Obama of raiding "Medicare to pay for Obamacare, which leads to fewer services for current seniors, is an achievement."

"Do you think raiding Medicare to pay for Obamacare is an achievement?" Ryan asked. "Well, neither do I."

But, as ABC's Shushannah Walshe points out: "What the House budget chairman didn't say, and what both Romney and Ryan want voters to believe, is that the Republican ticket opposes the Medicare changes, but that's not accurate. Ryan actually endorsed the same exact cuts in his signature budget plan, the same plan Romney has said he would sign if he became president."

In Ryan's first solo interview after becoming Romney's No. 2 this week with Fox News' Brit Hume, Ryan spent most of his time talking Medicare too.

"President Obama is actually damaging Medicare for current seniors," Ryan said. "It's irrefutable. And that's why I think this is a debate we want to have, and that's a debate we're going to win."

And Ryan's ascension to the Republican ticket has only seemed to spur more detailed probing of Romney's own fiscal proposals. (Romney has also been forced to make clear this week that he is running on his own plan rather than Ryan's: "I am the one running for president," Romney said in an interview with CBS News yesterday).

Romney adviser Ed Gillespie did not do himself, or the Romney campaign, any favors yesterday when in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer he was unable to name the timeframe when Romney's plan would balance the federal budget.

"I should know it," Gillespie acknowledged. "I'm embarrassed on your air that I don't have that number at the top of my head. I didn't know we were going to talk about that today. I apologize." (Romney has set an 8-10 year timeline for balancing the budget if he were elected.)

What has gotten less play on the campaign trail this week - and what has failed to break through over the din of the Medicare and budget chatter - are bread-and-butter issues like the economy and gas prices. Those are the ones that voters say will drive their decision at the ballot box come November more than anything else.

OBAMA, ROMNEY SPAR AFTER BIDEN 'CHAIN' COMMENT. ABC's David Muir reports for "Good Morning America" on the latest round of controversy over Vice President Joe Biden's comments in Virginia: This morning President Obama is defending Vice President Joe Biden, after Biden ignited that fiery war of words while criticizing Mitt Romney, the president speaking out overnight in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. WATCH: http://abcn.ws/OzWHwa

JAKE TAPPER REPORTS: FORMER INTEL OFFICERS TO HIT OBAMA. A new group of former intelligence and national security officers is attacking - on the web and soon in TV ads - the Obama White House for the various scandals over leaks, notes ABC's Chief White House Correspondent Jake Tapper. The group is called the Special Operations Opsec Education Fund and does not have to disclose its donors. The group specifically cites as objectionable the disclosure of information about the killing of Osama bin Laden, the Obama campaign's use of the killing as a campaign tool, the access to information about the raid given to filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow, the confirmation by the U.S. government of the participation of the Pakistani doctor that resulted in his imprisonment, as well as information about the Stuxnet virus, the US-British-Saudi agent who foiled an al Qaeda plot, and the Kill List. WATCH the group's 22-minute Web video here: http://bit.ly/Np3Gno

PAUL RYAN STARTS WORKING ON CONVENTION SPEECH. ABC's Shushannah Walshe reports from Denver: According to a Ryan aide, when the House Budget chairman was traveling from Des Moines, Iowa yesterday to Denver he began discussing his convention speech with speechwriter John McConnell and senior advisers, including Dan Senor. Senor is Mitt Romney's foreign policy adviser, but his role with Ryan will cover more than national security. He's expected to travel with Ryan throughout much of the rest of the campaign, and he will prep him for debates and on domestic policy as well, according to a Ryan aide. Senor also served in the Bush administration. Senor and Ryan are old friends as they both were congressional aides when Ryan worked for Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback and Senor worked for Michigan Sen. Spencer Abraham. http://abcn.ws/Pfgxvn

THE BUZZ:

YOUNG IMMIGRANTS LINE UP FOR LEGAL STATUS. The Department of Homeland Security's new initiative for young undocumented immigrants took effect on Wednesday, and ABC's Amy Bingham reports: After a lifetime of fearing deportation, being banned from working legally and fighting to stay in the country they grew up in, thousands and thousands of young, undocumented immigrants could get a reprieve today as the federal government begins accepting applications for two-year work permits. Immigrants who are younger than 31 and were brought to the U.S. before their 16th birthdays are eligible for the permits, which will allow them to stay and work here legally for two years. According to the Migration Policy Institute, up to 1.76 million people could be eligible. "That document is going to change my life forever," said Ramiro Luna, 29, who immigrated to Texas from Monterrey, Mexico, when he was 7 years old. "Everything is going to be different. I now feel welcome." http://abcn.ws/OzO98u

FACT-CHECK: HOW THE NEW POLICY WORKS. ABC's Devin Dwyer reports: President Obama ordered the Department of Homeland Security to review and approve - on a case-by-case basis - temporary reprieves for young illegal immigrants who meet certain criteria and want to work and remain in the country. This type of administrative discretion has existed for a long time, but Obama has directed it to be more widely used. If approved, an immigrant's illegal status/removal is simply "deferred" for two years when the application is up for renewal. ? Under a different administration - i.e. a President Romney - this could all easily change given that this is simply a matter of administrative discretion. http://abcn.ws/NrHRYI

ABC VIDEO: SHOOTING AT THE FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL. After a security guard was shot at the Washington-based social-conservative group Family Research Council on Wednesday, ABC's Pierre Thomas reports for "World News": Police say at 10:45 [Wednesday] morning, the suspect walked into the lobby of the Family Research Council and was confronted by a security guard, as the suspect yelled something suggesting he did not agree with the Council's policies. Sources tell ABC News the man pulled out a nine millimeter hangun, firing a shot and wounding the guard before he was wrestled to the ground." http://abcn.ws/Oj3apD

OBAMA IN IOWA: I HAVE STRENGTHENED MEDICARE. ABC's Mary Bruce reports from Dubuque, Iowa: President Obama entered the fight over Medicare today, telling supporters in Iowa that his GOP opponents are being "dishonest about my plan." "Here's what you need to know: I have strengthened Medicare," he said to applause from a crowd of 3,000 gathered at the Alliant Energy Amphitheater. "I have made reforms that have saved millions of seniors with Medicare hundreds of dollars on their prescription drugs." Obama is using the final day of his Iowa bus tour to push back against Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan, who are attacking the president for cutting $716 billion from the popular entitlement program. http://abcn.ws/OzKveZ

MCCAIN TO OBAMA: SWAP JOE FOR HILLARY. ABC's Sunlen Miller reports: Although he predicted it would not happen, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said today it would be "wise" for President Obama to take Vice President Joe Biden off the Democratic presidential ticket and replace him with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "I think it might be wise to do that but it's not going to happen obviously, for a whole variety of reasons," McCain said in an interview this afternoon on Fox News, stopping just short of Sarah Palin's call last night for an all-out replacement of Biden on the ticket. "I'm not sure if I were Hillary Clinton I would want to be on that team," the senator added, "I think her ambitions frankly are for 2016 and I'm not sure that would enhance that likelihood." http://abcn.ws/NGQJYF

ROMNEY: WE'LL 'RESTORE' OBAMA'S MEDICARE CUTS. After news outlets and President Obama's campaign pointed out that Paul Ryan's budget contains the same Medicare spending reductions on which Ryan and Mitt Romney have harped, Romney tells ABC affiliate WBAY that he'll repeal them: "Actually Paul Ryan and my plan for Medicare I think is the same, if not identical, it's probably close to identical. Our plan is very simple. Which is, that for people 55 years of age and older there's no change. The only change I'd mention for 55 and older is we'd restore the 817 billion dollars President Obama took out of the Medicare trust fund. We'd restore it to Medicare. I think the president's decision to take 817 billion out of Medicare to pay for obamacare is an outrage that seniors are going to find unacceptable." http://bit.ly/Pfg24w

?BUT THAT PROMISE MIGHT BACKFIRE. The Associated Press's Ricardo Alonson-Zalvidar explains: "The reason: Obama's cuts also extended the life of Medicare's giant trust fund, and by repealing them Romney would move the insolvency date of the program closer, toward the end of what would be his first term in office. Instead of running out of money in 2024, Medicare says its trust fund for inpatient care would go broke in 2016 without the cuts. That could leave a President Romney little political breathing room to finalize his own Medicare plan. The Romney campaign says there's no problem with the candidate's pledge. 'The idea that restoring funding to Medicare could somehow hasten its bankruptcy is on its face absurd,' said spokeswoman Andrea Saul." http://bit.ly/Pn73O8

PAUL RYAN MEETS HIS STAFF. Bloomberg's Lisa Lerer reports: "On the third day of his vice presidential campaign, U.S. Representative Paul Ryan met his staff. Fresh from a workout at a hotel gym in Iowa, Ryan stared into a video-conference monitor in exercise shorts and a University of Wisconsin baseball cap pulled down low. In Boston, a team of lawyers trooped into an office at campaign headquarters to greet their new boss ? They've discovered that he prefers to receive paper briefings rather than verbal ones, according to an aide not authorized to speak about private meetings on the record. His background as a House member - who often collaborate with colleagues on legislation - comes out in briefings, which staff describe as free-wheeling brainstorming sessions." http://bloom.bg/NrITUF

PAUL RYAN: A CHALLENGE FOR JOE BIDEN. The Washington Post's Peter Wallsten and David Nakamura write: "Unlike four years ago, when Biden squared off against an unknown and largely untested Sarah Palin, the vice president is competing against a longtime congressman known for being a quick-minded policy expert. Now, unlike then, Biden must defend the Obama record while, associates say, keeping an eye on a potential 2016 White House bid of his own. As always, Biden faces the challenge of his tongue, which got him into trouble again this week when he told a racially mixed audience in Virginia that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's approach to regulating the financial industry would 'put y'all back in chains.'" http://wapo.st/R4j10g

RUBIO TO NEVADA. VP also-ran Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., will travel to Nevada Thursday morning to campaign for Mitt Romney in Las Vegas, the Romney campaign announced: Rubio "will hold an event at the Summerlin Team Nevada Office in Las Vegas, Nevada. He will discuss Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan's bold ideas to strengthen the middle class and address our debt. He will contrast this approach with President Obama's plan to raid Medicare for current retirees to pay for Obamacare while leaving Medicare on the path to bankruptcy."

THE RACE REFOCUSED. The New York Times' Jeff Zeleny writes: "The past several days have also brought evidence of a subtle but broad strategic shift by Mr. Romney, one that many Congressional Republicans are concerned could divert attention from job creation, the issue they think will work best for the party. In the midst of an election in which few voters have not already taken sides, he is now running a campaign more focused on energizing an anti-Obama coalition than on trying to expand the universe of Romney voters with an argument that he is the most qualified economic steward." http://nyti.ms/TH3NOC

POLL: OBAMA LEADS IN PENNSYLVANIA. From Franklin & Marshall College: "President Obama has led Mitt Romney in every Franklin & Marshall College Poll [of Pennsylvania voters] since August 2011 ? The president currently leads Romney among registered voters in Pennsylvania 44% to 38% with 15% undecided. Allocating voters who lean to a candidate produces a similar advantage for the president, 47% to 42%, but shows that 7% of voters are truly undecided." http://bit.ly/Oj8bhY

NEW TV ADS: DEM GROUPS SPEND $1.6M TO HIT GEORGE ALLEN. The Democratic super PAC Majority PAC and the League of Conservation Voters announced they will spend $1.6 million to air two new TV ads in Virginia accusing GOP Senate candidate George Allen of voting for "trillions in debt," "special tax breaks that move our jobs overseas," and ties to the oil and gas industry: "[Allen] voted to keep special tax breaks for oil and gas companies-and took over a half million from them. Worse, Allen went to work for them." See the new ads here: http://bit.ly/PfeSpQ , http://bit.ly/Q2tlB3

GALLUP: JOB-MARKET GLOOM BACK TO PRE-CRASH LEVELS. Gallup's Melanie Standish and Gale Muller report on new polling data: "Worldwide, people were just as gloomy about local job prospects in 2011 as they were in the years leading up to the global economic crisis, with one in three saying it was a good time to find a job. While this trend reveals a dismal jobs outlook before the recession, it also shows people's views are returning to 'normal' after bottoming out in 2009." In 2009, 66 percent said it's a "bad time" to find a job; that's shrunk to 57 percent, Gallup reports. http://bit.ly/RZmOxq

CATERER AT OBAMA EVENT DONS PRO-ROMNEY T-SHIRT. ABC's Mary Bruce reports from Davenport, Iowa: Ross Murty, the co-owner of the Village Corner Deli in Davenport, is a proud small-business owner who isn't afraid to speak his mind. Serving up pulled pork, beans and cheesy potatoes for the press at the president's campaign event this evening, Murty wore a T-shirt that said, "Government Didn't Build my Business, I Did." ? Murty, a registered Republican, was out of town this past weekend at a Cubs game in Chicago when representatives from the president's campaign came in and asked his business partner, Bret Dalton, a registered Democrat, if they would be interested in a catering job. Dalton accepted without running it by Murty. http://abcn.ws/Rjj8aI

OBAMA UNCHAINS BIDEN. ABC's Devin Dwyer and Mary Bruce report: [A]fter Vice President Joe Biden suggested Tuesday that Republicans want to put voters in "chains," triggering a fierce war of words between the rival campaigns, Obama is standing by Biden's side. In an interview with People magazine from Dubuque, Iowa, Obama called the vice president an "outstanding" figure who is "passionate about what's happening in middle-class families." He shrugged off the controversy over Biden's remark, defending and clarifying the overarching argument Biden was trying to make. http://abcn.ws/RUWQJR

Veep Wars: Joe Biden's Unchained Melody Meets GOP Ire

By MICHAEL FALCONE ( @michaelpfalcone ) and AMY WALTER ( @amyewalter )

NOTABLES:

THE DOG DAYS AREN'T OVER: President Obama finally went there yesterday, ABC's Mary Bruce reports from Oskaloosa, Iowa. He teased Mitt Romney for famously putting the family dog on the roof of his car as the president blasted his opponent's energy policy. Touting the job-creating potential of wind energy in Iowa, the president criticized Romney for saying, "You can't drive a car with a windmill on it." "Now," the president said chuckling. "I don't know if he's actually tried that. I know he's had other things on his car." http://abcn.ws/NCezox

JUST IN FROM BOSTON: The Romney campaign and the Republican National Committee released a new Spanish-language TV ad this morning called, "No Podemos M?s," which, according to a statement accompanying the ad "highlights the adverse way in which the Hispanic community has been impacted by President Barack Obama's failed economic policies." WATCH: http://mi.tt/SjQh0G

MISTAKES WERE MADE: A controversial TV ad tying Mitt Romney to a woman's cancer death aired today for the first time in Ohio, apparently in error, according to the pro-Obama super PAC that produced it. "Station error is all," explained Priorities USA Action senior strategist Bill Burton. The ethics and accuracy of the claims in the 30-second spot have been the subject of intense debate since it first appeared online one week ago. Republicans and some Democrats say the group crossed a line in suggesting Romney's role at Bain Capital contributed to a woman's death, especially after fact-checkers debunked the suggestion that the woman died immediately after her husband's layoff from a Bain-owned factory or entirely lacked health insurance because of the move. http://abcn.ws/QzXatj

HE'S BAAACK: Today former presidential candidate Rick Santorum will hold a "Who Shares Our Values?" event at The Tangier in Akron, Ohio on behalf of the Romney campaign.

NOTE IT! In today's virtual political roundtable, ABC's David Muir asks whether the campaign has already gone to the dogs (and it's not even Labor Day) while ABC News Political Director digs into the results of a focus group of 12 suburban, white women in Milwaukee who think Mitt Romney is "hiding something" by not releasing more tax returns.

THE NOTE:

Was it worth it?

"We got a real clear picture of what they all value," Vice President Joe Biden said at a campaign event in Virginia yesterday, referring to the Republican budget conceived, in part by newly-minted vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan. "Every Republican's voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they're proposing. Romney wants to let the - he said in the first hundred days he's going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, 'unchain Wall Street.' They're going to put y'all back in chains."

Opponents immediately seized upon those comments to say, as the Romney campaign did, that the Obama re-election effort had "reached a new low."

"His campaign has resorted to diversions and distractions, to demagoguing and defaming others," Mitt Romney said on the final stop of his bus tour in Ohio last night. "It's an old game in politics; what's different this year is that the president is taking things to a new low."

Later on Tuesday, as ABC's Arlette Saenz reports, the vice president said he misspoke and intended to use the word "unshackle," which has been used by the GOP in the past.

"I'm told that when I made that comment earlier today in Danville, Virginia, the Romney campaign put out a tweet. You know, tweets these days? Put out a tweet, went on the airwaves saying, 'Biden, he's outrageous in saying that,' I think I said instead of 'unshackled,' 'unchained.' 'Outrageous to say that.' That's what we had. I'm using their own words. I got a message for them. If you want to know what's outrageous, it's their policies and the effects of their policies on middle class America. That's what's outrageous," Biden added. http://abcn.ws/NE51G4

Nevertheless, the outcry from Republicans continued unabated.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Preibus labeled the Obama campaign "one of the most hateful, divisive operations that we have ever seen in this country."

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, in an interview with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren last night, said Biden's outburst should be "the nail in the coffin" for his place on the Democratic ticket.

"Strategists there in the Obama campaign have got to look at a diplomatic way of replacing Joe Biden on the ticket with Hillary," Palin suggested. "And I don't want to throw out that suggestion and have them actually accept the suggestion because then an Obama-Hillary Clinton ticket would have a darn good chance of winning."

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani even questioned whether Biden had the "mental capacity" to be president if the need arose.

Whether the outcry from Republicans is real or manufactured, let that be a lesson to Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan. People are listening to the No. 2's - especially this week - just as much as they are to the top of the ticket.

NOTE IT!

ABC's DAVID MUIR: With Mitt Romney's most scathing rebuke yet of the President, Vice President Joe Biden trying to defend his words, and the President talking about Mitt Romney's dog - what happened to talk of a high-minded campaign post Ryan pick? And we haven't even hit Labor Day. Watch Muir's "World News" report from Ohio: http://abcn.ws/Mw3sh6

ABC's AMY WALTER: Reality Check: While the campaigns trade barbs and the pundits obsess about the wisdom of the Ryan pick, swing voters are still busy focusing on the economy. Almost every one of the twelve suburban, white women in Milwaukee who participated in a focus group sponsored by the Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania last night experienced some serious economic loss or distress. And, while they think Obama is more approachable than Romney, are leery of the Ryan budget, and think Romney is "hiding something" by not releasing his taxes, they are more concerned about their own economic situation. Michelle, a 38 year old unemployed wire technician and mother of three, voted for Obama in 2008 and said she is leaning to Romney this November. She summed it up like this: "When you are without a job it's just not nice out there. In 2008, when I was still working I was into it [Obama and the election]. This year, I'm not so into it?.I have a lot of anger. I have been laid off for three years. It is terrible out there."

THE BUZZ:

With ABC's Chris Good ( @c_good)

PAUL RYAN, MASTER BOWHUNTER. ABC's Gregory J. Krieg reports: Ryan is a proper hunter, an "aficionado" who's "always consumed with trying this and trying that," Archery Trade Association chief Jay McAninch tells ABC News. The Washington-based group has "given him a refuge at some of the more, you could say, high-falutin' events to step aside and talk about gadgets and new equipment," McAninch said. "When Paul came down to Congress in 1999 he was very active as a Wisconsinite in bowhunting, so he joined the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus." McAninch was head of the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation at the time, "so we got to know each other that way." http://abcn.ws/TEf42i

'ANGRY AND DESPERATE.' ABC's Emily Friedman reports from Chillicothe, Ohio on a fiery Romney stump speech and a new attack line on Obama: Closing out his four-day bus tour, Mitt Romney stood on the steps of the courthouse here and ripped apart President Obama's campaign strategy as one of the "diversions" that have taken the nation's highest office to a "new low" that appears "angry and desperate." "You don't hear any answers coming from President Obama's re-election campaign," said Romney "This is what an angry and desperate presidency looks like," said Romney ? "That's because he's intellectually exhausted, out of ideas, and out of energy," said Romney of Obama in what was one of his most strongly worded speeches to date ?"This is what an angry and desperate presidency looks like," said Romney. http://abcn.ws/NE7LDx

RYAN MEETS NEVADA DONORS AS PROTESTS RAGE OUTSIDE. ABC's ABC's Shushannah Walshe reports from Las Vegas: Hundreds of protesters greeted Paul Ryan as he met with a small group of Nevada donors including casino magnate Sheldon Adelson at the Venetian hotel. Protesters gathered outside the casino on Tuesday and chanted "Paul Ryan go home" and waved signs that read, "Romney/Ryan Road to Ruin," "Paul Ryan Hustling for the One Percent" and "This is What Democracy Looks Like?" The group was mostly made of labor organizations including the American Federation of Government Employees who were in Las Vegas for a conference. They joined up with local labor chapters to protest, including members of the AFL-CIO. http://abcn.ws/ROQ1te

FIRST SOLO VP INTERVIEW: BRIT HUME PRESSES RYAN FOR DETAILS. Fox News' Brit Hume landed Paul Ryan's first solo interview as Mitt Romney's VP, and he pressed the House Budget Committee chairman for details on the campaign's policy claims. Hume challenged Ryan for specific answers on Medicare cuts in his own budget plan, taxes, and how long it would take before that plan balances the budget.

RYAN TO HUME: WE CAN BALANCE IN 10 YEARS. While declining to cite specific analyses of his House budget plan, Paul Ryan told Fox's Brit Hume: "The House budget doesn't budget until the 2030s under the current, of what we call measurement of the CBO baseline. We believe that if we get the economy growing, if we get people back to work, we'll balance a budget within 10 years." http://bit.ly/NCbTY0

RYAN ON BREAKING UP WITH AYN RAND. Asked about his affinity for the conservative author, Ryan told Hume: "Now you see, I really enjoyed her novels, Atlas Shrugged in particular. It triggered my interest in economics, that's where I got into studying economics, that's why I wanted to study the whole field of economics. I later in life learned what her philosophy was, it's called objectivism. It's something I completely disagree with, it's an atheistic philosophy. So, but I think what she's done, is she showed, she came from Communism, she showed how the pitfalls of Socialism can hurt the economy ? But her philosophy which is something quite a bit different, is something that I just don't agree with." http://bit.ly/NCbTY0

RYAN: 'WE DO NOT ADD CUTS TO MEDICARE.' Hume: "But it is the case that in the budget that you had passed for the House of Representatives, significant savings of upwards of $500 billion dollars are planned right?" Ryan: "We do not add cuts to Medicare program in the House Budget. We don't take more cuts to Medicare. We simply prevent the raid of Medicare so that those dollars go to setting up the life of Medicare." http://bit.ly/NCbTY0

FACT CHECK: OBAMA, RYAN, ROMNEY BACKED THE SAME MEDICARE CUTS. ABC's Devin Dwyer reports: Voters might be left with the impression [after Mitt Ronmey's latest TV ad] that Romney and Ryan have both opposed the cuts. The truth is that Ryan himself endorses them in his signature budget plan-the same plan Romney has said he would sign as president if it reached his desk. ? But in an added twist through all of this - further complicating the picture in a way that voters might not be aware - Romney asserts that the Romney-Ryan ticket is running on his budget proposal, not Ryan's, and he would restore those cuts. http://abcn.ws/MZsmHr

ADDING WISCONSIN TO THE MAP? USA Today's Judy Kleen reports that Romney and Ryan can't count on winning in the Badger State, but Gov. Scott Walker tells her they could try: "No Republican presidential nominee since Ronald Reagan in 1984 has carried Wisconsin, but the state has undergone a dramatic political shift since Republican Scott Walker was elected governor. ? Walker says the Romney campaign, which so far has not aired TV ads in Wisconsin, intends to reassess that decision after the Republican National Convention and he expects a bigger effort here. The Romney-Ryan campaign will use his recall infrastructure, which included 24 'victory centers' coordinating grass-roots activity that accumulated 4.5 million voter contacts. 'What it did was reawaken the Republican base of volunteers,' he says." http://usat.ly/QBhTNi

AT SOLO RALLY, RYAN COMES OUT SWINGING. ABC's Shushannah Walshe reports from Lakewood, Colo.: Paul Ryan, on the stump as Mitt Romney's running mate Tuesday, aimed his fire directly at President Obama. He said the Democratic campaign has to "distort, demagogue, to divide," all to distract from the "real issues" of the campaign. "He comes to change the tone and culture in Washington," Ryan said to a boisterous crowd at a high school. "And so here's where we've arrived. He can't run on his record. He hasn't changed his tune. So all that he has left is to distort, demagogue, to divide, to try and confuse, to distract you from the real issues of this election." Tuesday was Ryan's second solo day of on the campaign trail. http://abcn.ws/NAzOVS

OBAMA STOPS FOR 'JUST ONE MORE' BEER. ABC's Mary Bruce reports from Waterloo, Iowa: Earlier today, President Obama recounted how much he enjoyed his pork chop and beer at the Iowa State Fair on Monday night. "It was good. I might have another beer today. You know, just one," he jokingly told supporters in Marshalltown. "Just one." Sure enough, on the way to his final campaign event of the day, the president's motorcade pulled into the Pump Haus in Cedar Falls for one more Bud. "I'm thinking I should order my beer and come back and talk," the president said, according to pool reports, shortly after entering the pub. After ordering a draft Bud Light, Obama spent several minutes chatting with the bar owners and some of the other patrons. http://abcn.ws/RUylxV

OBAMA TV AD: ROMNEY SHOULD 'GET REAL' ON STUDENT LOANS. ABC's Devin Dwyer reports: The 30-second spot says Romney wants to cut federal college aid for millions of students and encourage them to go into debt, replaying several times this line from a March speech at Otterbein University: "Take a shot, go for it, take a risk, get the education, borrow money if you have to from your parents, start a business," Romney said. In response, says the Obama ad's narrator: "Get real, Mitt." http://abcn.ws/Pmj6Nd

OBAMA VISITS WIND FARM. ABC's Mary Bruce reports from Marshalltown, Iowa: President Obama made a surprise detour to a wind farm today, part of his ongoing effort to tout his support for one of this swing state's top industries. ? Once again, Obama criticized Mitt Romney for wanting to end tax credits for clean energy production. "He's called these sources of energy 'imaginary'; his new running mate has called them a 'fad,'" he said. http://abcn.ws/PYglwc

OBAMA: STILL THE SOCIAL-MEDIA CANDIDATE. Pew Research Center reports: "On the eve of the conventions, Barack Obama holds a distinct advantage over Mitt Romney in the way his campaign is using digital technology to communicate directly with voters. The Obama campaign is posting almost four times as much content and is active on nearly twice as many platforms, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism. ? The Romney campaign averaged 1 tweet per day while the Obama campaign averaged 29 tweets, 17 per day on @BarackObama (the Twitter account associated with his presidency) and 12 on @Obama2012 (the account associated with his campaign). Obama also had about twice as many blog posts on his campaign website than did Romney and more than twice as many YouTube videos." http://bit.ly/RP3Is0

MICA WINS IN FLA., PALIN ENDORSEMENT RECORD TAKES A HIT. Rep. John Mica has fended off an incumbent tea partier in his Florida Republican primary, driven by House redistricting. The 10-term representative collected 61 percent of the vote to defeat Sarah-Palin-backed Rep. Sandy Adams in Florida's new 7th district, which encompassed much of Adams's current territory in the 112th Congress. Palin, who endorsed Adams in July, was delivered her second primary-pick loss in as many weeks; Sarah Steelman's loss in the Missouri GOP Senate primary last Tuesday broke Palin's unbeaten streak in Senate-primary picks. Palin's endorsees have gone four for five in GOP Senate primaries. After tonight, Palin will be 12 of 14 in House primaries, after Rep. Jean Schmidt, R-Ohio, lost her March primary to political newcomer and Army Reserves Major Brad Westrup. http://abcn.ws/RfSHmb

WISCONSIN BADGERED FOR ANOTHER VOTE: THOMPSON WINS SENATE PRIMARY. Former governor, Health and Human Services Secretary, and momentary '08 presidential candidate Tommy Thompson won Wisconsin's Republican Senate primary, staving off three GOP rivals. The result is a win for an established figure and a loss for tea partiers and free-market groups in Washington, D.C. The usual suspects in conservative politics were divided sharply over the race, between Thompson's two main competitors: former U.S. Rep. Mark Neumann and businessman Eric Hovde. The Club for Growth and Sen. Jim DeMint's Senate Conservatives Fund came to Neumann's assistance, funding ads that fueled a late surge. Neumann's loss is a blow to his Washington backers, but it would have been more severe had Hovde won, given the money those groups spent attacking him. Thompson carried 34 percent, while Hovde trailed with 31 percent and Neumann placed third with 23 percent. http://abcn.ws/PcrpKD

LONGTIME CONGRESSMAN TRAILS IN FLORIDA SHOCKER. Though he did not concede as 100 percent of precincts reported his downfall late into Tuesday night, twelve-term Rep. Cliff Stearns trails his primary opponent in what could be a shocking upset. Ted Yoho, a veterinarian and political newcomer, leads Stearns by 829 votes, according to Associated Press vote totals. Redistricting forced Stearns into a geographically larger, newly drawn district stretching north and west of his old territory, into Florida's panhandle. One of Stearns's opponents, Clay County Clerk of Courts James Jett, alleged in March that Stearns had attempted to bribe him out of the race through a middleman. A Stearns spokesman denied the accusation. Jett ranks fourth in the unexpectedly crowded primary with 14%

MCMAHON WINS CONN. PRIMARY. Former WWE CEO and self-funding candidate Linda McMahon has bested Rep. Chris Shays in their Connecticut Senate primary on Tuesday night. McMahon rated as a clear favorite, having led handily in polls since last year. The win ensures her a place on the ballot against Democratic Rep. Chris Murphy in November. Polls indicate a close race with Murphy leading by single digits. McMahon lost her 2010 Senate bid to Democrat Dick Blumenthal.

POLL: NON-VOTERS FOR OBAMA. Suffolk University releases findings from a new poll: "Nearly 40 percent of adult U.S. citizens will stay away from the polls this coming November, but if these Americans were to vote, President Barack Obama would coast to a second term in office, according to a Suffolk University-USA TODAY nationwide survey of unregistered and unlikely voters. Obama was the choice of 43 percent of unregistered Americans, while 23 percent said they would choose a third-party candidate over Republican Mitt Romney (14 percent). The Democratic president also pulled 43 percent of registered voters who said they are less likely to cast a ballot, while 20 percent chose Romney, and 18 percent would prefer a third-party candidate, according to the poll." http://bit.ly/PcsORf

CHELSEA CLINTON LEAVES THE DOOR OPEN. ABC's Amy Bingham reports: Chelsea Clinton may follow in her parents' footsteps after all. After years of shooting down rumors that she may run for office, the 32-year-old Clinton left the door open to having another Clinton on the electoral ballots. "Before my mom's campaign I would have said no," Clinton said in an interview published in the latest issue of Vogue magazine. "And now I don't know ?" http://abcn.ws/ObaV0M

In that imaginary world where the Romney-Ryan ticket puts the interests of the middle class first, we have to ask: what might Paul Ryan take back next?" http://bit.ly/RUFxdr

-OFA ON RYAN/ADELSON: 'KISS THE RING.' As ABC's Devin Dwyer notes, Obama for America is fundraising off Ryan's meeting with Adelson.

PM who defected says Syrian regime near collapse

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) ? Syria's prime minister who defected to the opposition said Tuesday that Bashar Assad's regime was near collapse and urged other political and military leaders to tip the scales and join the rebel side.

The comments by Riad Hijab were his first public statements since leaving his post and fleeing to Jordan with his family last week. Hijab is the highest-ranking political figure to defect from President Bashar Assad's regime.

"The regime is on the verge of collapse morally and economically in addition to cracks in the military," Hijab told a press conference in the Jordanian capital, Amman.

Hijab is a Sunni Muslim from the eastern province of Deir el-Zour where rebels claimed to have shot down an army MiG-23 warplane on Monday. Hijab, who was not part of Assad's inner circle, said the trip to Jordan lasted three days during which he was protected by rebels of the Free Syrian Army.

He said he felt "pain in his soul" over the regime's shelling and other attacks on rebel strongholds as the government stepped up its military offensive. Activists say more than 20,000 people been killed in the struggle since March 2011.

"I was powerless to stop the injustice," Hijab said, speaking in front of the rebel flag. He called on "honorable leaders" in Syria to defect as well.

"Syria is full of honorable officials and military leaders who are waiting for the chance to join the revolution," he said, adding that Assad's forces only control 30 percent of Syria.

"I urge the army to follow the example of Egypt's and Tunisia's armies ? take the side of the people," he added.

Hijab said he was now backing the rebels, but gave no clue on his plans. There had been speculation that he would travel to the Gulf nation of Qatar, which is one of the rebels' main supporters.

A spokesman for outgoing U.N. peace envoy Kofi Annan said that Syria authorities have backed Lakhdar Brahimi as his successor. The spokesman, Ahmed Fawzi, said the next step was for Brahimi, a former Algerian foreign affairs minister and longtime U.N. official, to formally accept the post and resume efforts for a diplomatic solution to Syria's crisis.

In Geneva, the U.N. said that its humanitarian chief has begun talks in Syria on a mission to boost international aid inside the war-battered country. Valerie Amos was to meet with Syria's foreign ministry and the Red Crescent, which has been the pipeline for humanitarian supplies to Syrians caught in the civil war.

Jens Laerke, a spokesman for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Geneva, said Amos is on a three-day visit to the region. The U.N. estimates 2 million people in Syrian have been injured, displaced or facing problems securing food or other necessities. Also, more than 200,000 people have fled to neighboring countries including Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan.

In Lebanon, the militant Hezbollah group denied Tuesday that a man captured in the Syrian capital of Damascus and shown in a video released by the rebels was one of its members.

The video is the latest incident to reflect rising sectarian divisions in Syria's vicious civil war, which has seen an increase in abductions of Shiite Muslims who many rebel fighters perceive as supporting Assad. The regime is dominated by members of Assad's Alawite minority sect, an off-shoot of Shiite Islam. Sunnis, who are the majority in Syria, make up the backbone of the opposition.

The video purporting to show the captured Lebanese man followed another highly circulated rebel video Monday, showing the downing of the Syrian MiG and armed men later holding the captured pilot who ejected. Syria acknowledged a pilot had bailed out of a disabled plane but blamed the crash in Deir el-Zour on a technical malfunction.

In the video with the Lebanese captive, a man identifies himself as Hassane Salim al-Mikdad, and says he was one of 1,500 Hezbollah fighters sent to Syria on Aug. 3. The video was said to have been released by rebels and aired by Arab satellite TV Al-Arabiya on Tuesday.

"Most of those who entered were snipers," said the captive, whose face showed bruises as three masked gunmen stood behind him. A man, who could not be seen, was asking the hostage questions.

The captive then says that Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah gathered the men before they headed to Syria and told them that they should go to "support the Shiite regime and the Shiite army against Sunni gangs." The authenticity of the video could not be independently confirmed.

Hezbollah, a Shiite Muslim group, is a key backer of Assad's regime. The Syrian opposition has repeatedly accused it of sending fighters to Syria, which Hezbollah denies.

Hezbollah issued a statement early Tuesday saying it "categorically denies that Mr. Hassane Salim al-Mikdad is one of its members."

There have been several attacks and abductions in Syria of Shiites from Lebanon, Iran and Iraq over the past months that were blamed on Syrian rebels. In May, Syrian rebels captured 11 Lebanese Shiites shortly after they crossed from Turkey on their way to Lebanon.

Earlier this month, 48 Iranians were captured by Syrian rebels near Damascus. Rebels claim the Iranians include members of Tehran's Revolutionary Guard and were on a "reconnaissance mission" in the Syrian capital. Iran insists the men were on a religious pilgrimage.

The Lebanese are apparently held to try to pressure the government in Beirut to show greater support for the Syrian rebels ? which is unlikely because of Hezbollah's strong influence and backing of Assad.

Also, many Iraqi Shiites, streaming back to their homeland in the past month to escape the conflict in Syria, reported a rash of attacks against their community, apparently by Sunni rebel gunmen. In July, 23 Iraqi Shiites were killed in Syria, some of them beheaded, according to the Washington-based Shiite Rights Watch. In one gruesome case, the U.N. said an Iraqi family of seven was killed at gunpoint in their Damascus apartment.

The motives for the attacks on Iraqis are unclear. They may be revenge against any Iraqi because the Shiite-led Iraqi government is seen as siding with Assad.

In other violence across Syria on Tuesday, activists reported clashes and shelling in the northern city of Aleppo, southern province of Daraa, suburbs of Damascus and the northwestern region of Idlib.

On Monday, gunmen abducted the correspondent of Iran's Arabic-language TV al-Alam in the central city of Homs Ahmad Sattouf, his wife told The Associated Press. She said he was taken from his office and his whereabouts are unknown.

Sattouf becomes the third journalist to be abducted in Syria over the past three days. Three other journalists were killed over the weekend in Damascus and its suburbs.

State-run news agency SANA said one of its reporters was wounded Monday while covering clashes in Aleppo.

Biggest Asian wildlife traffickers are untouchable

BANGKOK (AP) ? Squealing tiger cubs stuffed into carry-on bags. Luggage packed with hundreds of squirming tortoises, elephant tusks, even water dragons and American paddlefish. Officials at Thailand's gateway airport proudly tick off the illegally trafficked wildlife they have seized over the past two years.

But Thai and foreign law enforcement officers tell another story:?Officials working-hand-in-hand with traffickers ensure that?other shipments through Suvarnabhumi International Airport are whisked off before they even reach customs inspection.

It's a murky mix. A 10-fold increase in wildlife law enforcement actions, including seizures, has been reported in the past six years in Southeast Asia. Yet, the trade's Mr. Bigs, masterful in taking advantage of pervasive corruption, appear immune to arrest and continue to orchestrate the decimation of wildlife in Thailand, the region and beyond.

And Southeast Asia's honest cops don't have it easy.

"It is very difficult for me. I have to sit among people who are both good and some who are corrupt, says Chanvut Vajrabukka, a retired police general. "If I say, 'You have to go out and arrest that target,' some in the room may well warn them,'" says Chanvut, who now advises ASEAN-WEN, the regional wildlife enforcement network.

Several kingpins, says wildlife activist Steven Galster, have recently been confronted by authorities, "but in the end, good uniforms are running into, and often stopped by bad uniforms. It's like a bad Hollywood cop movie.

"Most high-level traffickers remain untouched and continue to replace arrested underlings with new ones," says Galster, who works for the FREELAND Foundation, an anti-trafficking group.

Galster, who earlier worked undercover in Asia and elsewhere, heaps praise on the region's dedicated, honest officers because they persevere knowing they could be sidelined for their efforts.

Recently, Lt. Col. Adtaphon Sudsai, a highly regarded, outspoken officer, was instructed to lay off what had seemed an open-and-shut case he cracked four years ago when he penetrated a gang along the?Mekong River smuggling pangolin.

This led him to Mrs. Daoreung Chaimas, alleged by conservation groups to be one of Southeast Asia's biggest tiger dealers. Despite being arrested twice, having her own assistants testify against her and DNA testing that showed two cubs were not offsprings from zoo-bred parents as she claimed, Daoreung remains free and the case may never go to the prosecutor's office.

"Her husband has been exercising his influence," says Adtaphon,?referring to her police officer spouse. "It seems that no policeman wants to get involved with this case." The day the officer went to arrest her the second time, his transfer to another post was announced.

"Maybe it was a coincidence," the colonel says.

In another not uncommon case, a former Thai police officer who tried to crack down on traders at Bangkok's vast Chatuchak Market got a visit from a senior police general who told him to "chill it or get removed."

"I admit that in many cases, I cannot move against the big guys," Chanvut, the retired general, notes. "The syndicates like all organized crime are built like a pyramid. We can capture the small guys but at the top they have money, the best lawyers, protection. What are we going to do?"

Chanvut's problems are shared by others in Southeast Asia, the prime funnel for wildlife destined for the world's No. 1 consumer ? China ? where many animal parts are consumed in the belief they have medicinal or aphrodisiacal properties.

Most recently, a torrent of rhino horn and elephant tusks has poured through it from Africa, which suffers the greatest slaughter of these two endangered animals in decades.

Vietnam was singled out last month by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) as the top destination country for the highly-prized rhino horn.

Tens of thousands of birds, mostly parrots and cockatoos plucked from the wild, are being imported from the Solomon Islands into Singapore, often touted as one of Asia's least corrupt nations, in violation of CITES, the international convention on wildlife trade.

?According to TRAFFIC, the international body monitoring wildlife trade, the imported birds are listed as captive-bred, even though it's widely known that the Pacific Ocean islands have virtually no breeding facilities.

Communist Laos continues to harbor Vixay Keosavang, identified as one of the region's half dozen Mr. Bigs, who has been linked by the South African press to a rhino smuggling ring. The 54-year-old former soldier and provincial official is reported to have close ties to senior government officials in Laos and Vietnam.

Thai and foreign enforcement agents, who insist on anonymity since most work undercover, say they have accumulated unprecedented details?of the gangs, which are increasingly linked to drug and human trafficking syndicates.

They say a key Thai smuggler, who runs a shipping company, has a gamut of law enforcement officers in his pocket, allowing him to traffic rhino horns, ivory and tiger parts to China. He frequently entertains his facilitators at a restaurant in his office building.

According to the agents, Chinese buyers, informed of incoming shipments, fly to Bangkok, staying at hotels pinpointed by the agents around the Chatuchak Market, where endangered species are openly sold. There they seal deals with known middlemen and freight operators.

The sources say that when they report such investigations seizures are either made for "public relations," sink into a "black hole" ? or the information is leaked to the wrongdoers.

Such a tip-off from someone at Bangkok airport customs allowed a trafficker to stop shipment of a live giraffe with powdered rhino horn believed to be implanted in its vagina.

"The 100,000 passengers moving through this airport from around the world everyday are oblivious to the fact that they are standing in one of the world's hottest wildlife trafficking zones," says Galster.

Officials interviewed at the airport, one of Asia's busiest, acknowledge corruption exists, but downplay its extent and say measures are being taken to root it out.?

Chanvut says corruption is not the sole culprit, pointing out the multiple agencies which often don't cooperate or share information. Each with a role at Bangkok's airport, are the police, national parks department, customs, immigration, the military and CITES, which regulates international trade in endangered species.

With poor communication between police and immigration, for example, a trader whose passport has been seized at the airport can obtain a forged one and slip across a land border a few days later.

Those arrested frequently abscond by paying bribes or are fined and the case closed without further investigation. "Controlled delivery" ? effectively penetrating networks by allowing illicit cargo to pass through to its destination ? is rare.

Thailand's decades-old wildlife law also awaits revision and the closing of loopholes, such as the lack of protection for African elephants, and far stiffer penalties.

"The bottom line is that if wildlife traffickers are not treated as serious criminals in Southeast Asia we are just going to lose more wildlife," says Chris Shepherd, TRAFFIC's Southeast Asia deputy director. "How often is anyone arrested? They just run off, they must be the fastest people on Earth."

Chalida Phungravee, who heads the cargo customs bureau at Suvarnabhumi, says just the sheer scale makes her job difficult. The airport each year handles 45 million passengers and 3 million tons of cargo, only some 3 percent of which is X-rayed on arrival. The main customs warehouse is the size of 27 football fields.

But seizures are made, she said, including boxes of tusks ? the remnants of some 50 felled elephants ? aboard a recent Kenya Airlines flight declared as handicrafts and addressed to a nonexistent company.

"We have cut down a lot on corruption. It still exists but remains minimal," she said, citing recent computerization which has created a space ? dubbed "the Green Line" ? between customs officials, cargo and traffickers.

Galster says unlike the past, traffickers are no longer guaranteed safe passage, describing a daily battle at Suvarnabhumi with "undercover officers monitoring corrupt ones and smugglers trying to outwit them all."

Such increased enforcement efforts in the region have slowed decimation of endangered species, he says, "but there is still a crash going on. If corruption is not tackled soon, you can say goodbye to Asia's tigers, elephants and a whole host of other animals."
