Former U.S. President Bill Clinton once asked Steve Jobs discourse through midnight phone conversations when tripped Monica Lewinsky sex scandal in 1998. This was revealed in a biography of Apple founder Steve Jobs.


"I do not know if you do it (sex scandal), but if so, you have to admit to your country," said Jobs to Clinton.

Clinton recalls saying back to Jobs, "It's hard to see the streets of Chelsea, if you are the president. I have a house outside of town, you and Hillary can stay in there, Chelsea could also bring my friends to it whenever you want."

Clinton added, "He gave me the priceless gift, a chance to see my child when I was a key figure. So I am very biased in his kindness. Plus, I can work on the iPad."

Clinton also appreciate the work ethic Jobs, he says: "He is a person who believes and has a high concentration."

But he noted that sometimes the style of leadership Jobs will not be suitable for politicians because "you have to be somewhat more inclusive".

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States says it has stopped funding of UNESCO, following the decision of the organization of education, science and culture UN to give full membership to the Palestinians.


A spokesman for the U.S. State Department Victoria Nuland told reporters that, the U.S. has no choice but to stop financing it because of U.S. legislation passed in the 1990s, says Washington will not make the transfer of 60 million dollars is planned, which was originally (to be transferred ) in November, Reuters reported.

"... The U.S. remains strongly committed to the multilateral linkages, strong in the UN system. However, Palestine as a country membership in UNESCO has sparked legislative restrictions that have long existed, which would encourage the U.S. to refrain from contributing to UNESCO, " Nuland said.

Nuland also said the decision Monday by UNESCO member states to recognize Palestine as a member, had been "regrettable, too early and ruin our common goal (achieve) a comprehensive peace, justice and eternal in the Middle East".

U.S. to give 22 percent of the funds of UNESCO. The agency decided Monday to give Palestinians full membership, a decision that will encourage their efforts at the United Nations to gain recognition as a state.

UNESCO is the UN agency in which the first Palestinian to join as full members since President Mahmoud Abbas asked for full membership in the UN on 23 September.

Among UNESCO's task is to establish a World Heritage places, improving education around the world, and held a tsunami early warning system in the Pacific.

Process Two Decades

The U.S. and its ally Israel against the Palestinian diplomatic movements in the UN system, describing it as an attempt to sidestep the peace process that has been aged two decades. Washington said only the resumption of peace talks that ended with an agreement with Israel that could produce a Palestinian state purposes.

Earlier Monday, members of parliament nggota U.S. Republican demanded that the funds were discontinued, and the White House and other officials across the U.S. political spectrum criticized the UNESCO's action.

Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said UNESCO's action was "not a substitute for conversation, but it's very damaging to the UNESCO".

Palestinian officials have said they will ask for full membership in the UN as much as possible. Is clearly worrying the U.S. State Department officials who fear the loss of U.S. influence, if more funds are triggered by the termination statute.

Act 1990 that prohibits U.S. funding to the UN organization that gives full membership in a group that does not have the properties of internationally recognized states.

Language (the Act) was intended as a first action to impede the normalization of relations and activities of Palestinians in the international community, said Lara Friedman, policy director at Americans for Peace Now, a group of pro-peace Jewish-American.

The law may also forbid Americans to fund other UN organizations which gave Palestinians full membership, such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which among other things oversee Iran's nuclear program.

Esther Brimmer, assistant secretary of state for international organiosasi, has met with representatives of large U.S. corporations, Monday, to convey concerns over the possibility of Palestinian attempts to enter the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

Geneva-based WIPO is the UN organization that was tasked to protect the copyright, which covers anything from a list of songs to patents for new drugs and high-tech innovation.

Other American Jewish groups, J. Street, asked Congress to amend the law in order to maintain U.S. funding to UNESCO and other organizations.

"If Congress does not act, we may soon find ourselves without a voice in bodies that are affiliated with the United Nations is very important for employment, safety and security of America," Dylan said of William J. Street.

Sanaa - Yemen's three fighter jets were destroyed and several others were damaged in the blasts that shook the midnight air base that seems to stem from a bomb planted in the planes, officials said told AFP on Monday.



"Unidentified attackers apparently set off a bomb in fighter jets loaded with ammunition in preparation for combat missions are planned for Monday morning," said a military official who asked not to be named.

"Three fighter jets on fire and several others damaged by the explosions," said an aviation official at Sanaa International Airport is located adjacent to the base.

Military official told AFP, fighter planes had been scheduled to perform combat missions in Arhab area, toward the north gate of Sana'a, which is only 40 kilometers.

There has been no immediate claim of responsibility on the attack, and apparently no one was hurt.

A large number of elite Republican Guard troops under the command of Ahmad, son of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, was in Arhab and so far managed to prevent the troops the First Armored Division dissenters pro-General Ali Mohsen al-Ahmar moving towards Sanaa, the capital of Yemen.

The attack on the military air base comes amid escalating violence, particularly in the south.

Since the anti-government protests erupted in Yemen in late January, militants take advantage of the weakening of central power by building a base in a number of southern provinces.

Yemeni security forces for several weeks fighting groups of armed men who were accused of being members of al-Qaeda in Abyan, southern Yemen, especially in the provincial capital, Zinjibar, which is largely controlled by the militants since May.

The violence has killed hundreds of soldiers from the armed militants who call themselves "followers of Sharia" control most of Zinjibar, the capital of Abyan province, on May 29.

Security officials said that the militant Al-Qaeda, but the political opposition accused the government of President Ali Abdullah Saleh-fetched about the threat of jihad in order to ward off Western pressure against the power that has lasted 33 years.

The battle took place in Abyan when mass protests demanding the resignation of President Ali Abdullah Saleh entered the ninth month, that crippled a number of cities and push the country into political uncertainty.

Saleh, who was in a hospital in Saudi Arabia since June after he was injured in a bomb attack on his palace in Sanaa, returned to Yemen on 23 September with the promise of peace.

Demonstrations in Yemen since late January which demanded the resignation of Saleh has killed hundreds of people.

With the number of deaths continues to increase, Saleh, Washington's old ally in the war against Al-Qaeda, losing U.S. support.

The U.S. government took part in efforts to negotiate the resignation of Saleh and temporary transfer of power, according to a report in the New York Times.

U.S. officials regard Saleh's position can no longer be maintained because of widespread protests and he had to leave the presidency, the report said.

Nevertheless, Washington warned that the fall of Saleh as the main U.S. ally in the war against Al-Qaeda would pose "real threat" to the United States.

Yemen is the ancestral state of the late leader of al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden is still facing separatist violence in the north and south.

North Yemen and South Yemen formally united Republic of Yemen in 1990, but many in the southern region, which is where most of Yemen's oil, said that the northern people use it to dominate the unification of the natural resources and discriminate against them.

Western countries, especially the U.S., increasingly concerned over the threat of extremism in Yemen, including the activities of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).

Western countries and Saudi Arabia, Yemen's neighbors, worried that the country will fail, and Al-Qaeda take advantage of the chaos to strengthen their grip on the impoverished Arab country and turn it into a place to launch further attacks.

Yemen into the world spotlight when the regional wing of Al-Qaeda mastermind AQAP states failed bomb attacks on U.S. passenger plane on Christmas Day.

AQAP declared in late December 2009, they gave the suspected Nigerians "technically sophisticated tools" and told the Americans that more attacks will be carried out.

Analysts fear that Yemen will collapse due to Shi'ite rebellion in the north, separatist movements in the south and the attacks of Al-Qaeda. Poor country that borders Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter.

In addition to separatism, Yemen is also hit by the kidnapping of foreigners in recent years.

Space of the universe to deviate much mystery that has so far not been revealed. Astronomers seek to uncover the mystery of star explosions in space, one of the mysteries of 2,000-year-old supernova. Age called refers to the time span between the discovery of the supernova to date.

Astronomers using NASA's two telescopes, Spitzer and WISE or Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, a supernova mystery solved.

Supernova, astronomers first discovered in China in 185 BC. Supernova in the sky for 8 months and Chinese astronomers called it a "guest star".
