More than 60 years after the end of World War II, American lawmakers have paid tribute to the pioneering but long-overlooked role played by women pilots in the US Air Force.
About 1,000 women piloted fighter planes in the United States from 1942 to 1944 when they joined the Women Airforce Service Pilots, dubbed the WASPs.
Their mission was not to go into combat zones, but to move aircraft between bases, test fly planes which had undergone repairs and help in training. Their contributions critically freed up male pilots to participate in combat missions.
Some 38 women pilots died on the missions, and were never accorded any military honours. Fewer than 300 of the women are alive today.
We wish all our readers a
Very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.
Somehow, not only for Christmas
But all the long year through
The joy that you give to others
Is the joy that comes back to you.

These are the world’s top 10 polluters, ranked by their absolute greenhouse gas emissions, according to the International Energy Agency. Absolute emissions (carbon dioxide equivalent — million tonnes per year.
1. China - 6,027:-
Although, China officially overtook the US as the world’s biggest CO2 emitter, research has shown that almost a third of Chinese carbon emissions are the result of producing goods for export.
2. United States - 5,769 :-
USA drew worldwide criticism for failing to adopt the greatest international agreement for the reduction of greenhouse gases, The Kyoto Protocol, accepted by nearly every other country. The US has 4% of the world’s population but produces about 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions.
3. Russia - 1,587 :-
Russia has increased its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in an encouraging development before United Nations climate talks in Copenhagen. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said his country would try to reduce greenhouse emissions by 25 percent by 2020, not by 15 percent as was planned before.
4. India - 1,324 :-
Four days prior to the Copenhagen climate summit, India announced that it will reduce its emission intensity by 20-25 percent by 2020 from the 2005 level. India’s emissions intensity is already lower than other emerging economies and had decreased 17.6 percent between 1990 and 2005.
5. Japan - 1,236 :-

Microsoft Corp. last week disclosed that it is working to fix a bug in its popular Web server software, but observers say the patch is unlikely to be ready in time for Tuesday’s regular monthly patch release.
Microsoft last Tuesday issued a formal security advisory for the vulnerability in three older versions of its Internet Information Services server, a day after the exploit code went public.
On Wednesday, it issued the advisory that the patch was in development.
As a result of the flaw, IIS’s FTP server fails to properly parse specially crafted directory names, allowing hackers to force a stack buffer overflow and then inject malicious code onto the Web server.
In the short term, Microsoft urged administrators responsible for IIS 5.0, 5.1 and 6.0 Web servers to make one of several suggested defensive moves, any one of which will stymie the currently known exploits.
