Oscars come to London to honor Vanessa Redgrave (Reuters)
LONDON (Reuters) ? The Oscars came to London on Sunday, when the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences honored British actress Vanessa Redgrave in the first such tribute made in Europe.
Playwright David Hare hosted the event at a central London cinema, and stars including Meryl Streep, Ralph Fiennes and James Earl Jones were at the ceremony marking a stage and screen career that has spanned more than 50 years.
"Wherever you go in the world, people know and admire Vanessa Redgrave," Hare said in a statement.
"There are not many consistently brilliant 50-year careers in the history of cinema, but hers is one of them."
Hare created three film sequences for the event showcasing Redgrave's work.
The 74-year-old actress, currently appearing alongside Jones in "Driving Miss Daisy" in London's West End, was born into a famous acting dynasty and began her stage career in the late 1950s.
She quickly moved into movies, picking up the first of six Oscar nominations for her appearance in "Morgan!" in 1966.
Her sole win was for best supporting actress in "Julia," and she caused controversy with an acceptance speech in which she attacked a "a small bunch of Zionist hoodlums" who had objected to her involvement in a pro-Palestinian documentary.
In addition to the Oscar, Redgrave's honors include Olivier, Tony, Emmy, Screen Actors Guild and Cannes film festival awards.
She stars in "Anonymous," currently in cinemas, and the upcoming "Coriolanus."
Redgrave's "Driving Miss Daisy" co-star Jones, famous to many as the voice of Darth Vader in the "Star Wars" franchise, received an honorary career Oscar in London on Saturday.
The 80-year-old did not attend the main U.S. ceremony in person because of his stage commitments in Britain.

Syrian FM: Arab League suspension was illegitimate
Pro-Syrian regime protesters, shout slogans and carry a giant Syrian flag during a demonstration against the Arab League decision to suspend Syria, in Damascus, Syria, on Sunday Nov. 13, 2011. Tens of thousands of pro-regime demonstrators gathered in a Damascus square Sunday to protest the Arab League's vote to suspend Syria over its bloody crackdown on the country's eight-month-old uprising. Saturday's Arab League decision was a sharp rebuke to a regime that prides itself as a bastion of Arab nationalism, but it was unlikely to immediately end a wave of violence that the U.N. estimates has killed more than 3,500 people since mid-March.

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) ? Syria's foreign minister accused Arab states on Monday of conspiring against Damascus after the Arab League voted to suspend Syria's membership over the government's deadly crackdown on an eight month-old uprising.
Walid al-Moallem said Saturday's near-unanimous vote at the Arab League's headquarters in Cairo was "shameful and malicious," betraying his country's deep alarm over the decision.
The vote was a stinging rebuke to a regime that prides itself as a bastion of Arab nationalism and left Syria increasingly isolated over a crackdown that the U.N. estimates has killed more than 3,500 people since mid-March.
"We wanted the role of the Arab League to be a supporting role but if the Arabs wanted to be conspirators, this is their business," he told a press conference in Damascus.
The vote to suspend Syria put Damascus in direct confrontation with other Arab powers, including Qatar and Saudi Arabia, who were pushing for the suspension. The vote constituted a major boost for the Syrian opposition.
The unified Arab position also puts more pressure on the U.N. Security Council to impose sanctions, despite objections by Syrian allies Russia and China. Only Syria, Lebanon and Yemen voted against the Arab League suspension of Syria, with Iraq abstaining.
An Arab League decision had paved the way for the U.N.-mandated no-fly zone and NATO airstrikes that eventually brought down Libya's Moammar Gadhafi, but the group has stressed international intervention was not on the agenda in Syria.
Still, al-Moallem played on fears that the diplomatic campaign could escalate to Libya-style military action, saying Syria's army is far stronger than Libya's.
"They know that our valiant army has capabilities that they might not be able to tolerate if they are used," he said.
Syrian President Bashar Assad asserts that extremists pushing a foreign agenda to destabilize Syria are behind the country's unrest, rather than true reform-seekers aiming to open the country's autocratic political system.
Syria had earlier called for an emergency Arab summit to discuss the country's spiraling political unrest. But critics say that is another possible bid by Assad to buy time as he faces snowballing punitive action.
In Brussels, European Union foreign ministers were discussing imposing additional sanctions on Syria in response to the continuing killings of protesters.
The EU already has put sanctions on 56 Syrians and 19 organizations in its effort to get Assad to halt his bloody crackdown, and has banned the import into the EU of Syrian crude oil.
"We have adopted a wide range of sanctions already, but I think there's a very good case to add to those," British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Monday on his way into the meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.
Russia, meanwhile, indicated that Assad still has the support of Moscow. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was quoted by the ITAR-Tass news agency saying Moscow opposes the Arab League's decision to suspend Syria.
Earlier, Syria invited Arab League officials to visit before the membership suspension is scheduled to take effect on Wednesday, and said they could bring any civilian or military observers they deem appropriate to oversee implementation of an Arab League plan for ending the bloodshed.
The Syrian government is usually loath to accept anything resembling foreign intervention, and the invitation signaled the government's concern over the Arab action.
The crisis has raised regional tensions, with Turkey sending a plane to evacuate nonessential personnel after Saturday attacks on several embassies including Ankara's by Syrian government supporters angry over the Arab League decision.
Turkish foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Monday that his country would take a "decisive attitude" in the face of attacks on its missions in Syria, and will continue his country's policy of supporting the Syrian opposition.
Turkey also formally protested the attacks and issued a warning against traveling to Syria.

What are Investing Strategies? | Historic Court House
To a beginner, choosing the most appropriate enterprise for investment is quite confusing. committing is the best way to earn a revenue but can be frustrating if a wrong strategy was used from the beginning of the investment. It is quite possible for an inexperienced buyer to receive high returns on an investment provided that the particular person invested wisely.
methods to a effective investment
1. Period of study
A effective buyer should allow enough time to study the project before considering committing. The period of study will acquaint you with a wealth of knowledge on the industry trends, shopper interests, packaging, how to come up with an advertising message mode of investment management, and whether or not it is the right decision to proceed with the investment. Large buyers would employ the services of financial analysts but it is recommended for small buyers and new buyers to involve in the period of study. At the end of the period of study, an buyer would have acquired enough knowledge and experience, a little bit more than an average buyer, so as to involve in the daily functions of the investment.
2. Targets to be achieved
To be effective in your investment, you must stipulate the targets or goals for the investment. There are short term targets and long term targets but you are necessary to set a time frame that is appropriate to meet these targets .You will also need to identify the methods to achieve the specified targets. Long term targets involve the expansion and continuity of the investment, and are vulnerable to changes in the economy like inflation, currency depreciation or appreciation, household incomes, interest rates on loans, and many more.
3. investment capital
Before deciding on an investment, you should identify sources of funding .Some buyers prefer to invest from their savings while others find it appropriate to use banking institutions loans. If you decide to use particular personal savings as a source of funding, treat the investment in a way similar to that began by a bank loan. Your savings should not be squandered up in the investment, but it is a loan from your account to the investment and must be returned to the account with an interest. A loan from the bank will leave you in a bad financial position if squandered up in the investment. It is Consequently recommended to take a careful study on the rate of returns on an investment before taking a decision.
4. investment bank account.
Unlike any other account, an investment account will receive money that will be used to invest effectively. It will help the buyer to monitor the flow of capital during the times of investment.
5. investment rules, regulations and incentives
Each area of investment in United Kingdom has certain rules and regulations and a first time buyer should be able to seek the advice of whether or not the dynamics of investment is in line with the law. An example, certain high yielding investments like trade in narcotic drugs will result into closure of your investment and possible prosecution. Likewise committing in particular areas entice incentives that may consist of tax breaks. There are many instruments in place for tax breaks and these consist of IRAs, Brokerage data, 401ks ideas and many more.
6. Management
For a successful investing strategy, you will be necessary to set up a management team based on professionalism and merit. It might look cheaper to employ family members and friends into your newly set up enterprise, but exploration has shown that this has hard long term adverse effects .used family members and friends will require much more monitoring than experts used on merit. family members and friends are most effective if the formulate the board of directors, since they will not involve in the day to day functions of the investment.
7. Supervision of the investment
A effective enterprise needs that you employ a monitoring program that will not be affected by your absence. A enterprise that is not monitored is vulnerable to collapse and closure. enterprise data should be closely audited to put checks and balances on the functions of the management team.
It does not require a effective enterprise small business owner in United Kingdom to go to come up with effective enterprise ventures but to undertake investment methods before committing resources to the investment.

10 November 2011
Last updated at 20:21 ET
Eating more cereals and whole grains could reduce the risk of developing colorectal cancer, a BMJ study says.
Researchers from Imperial College London found that for every 10g a day increase in fibre intake, there was a 10% drop in the risk of bowel cancer.
But their analysis of 25 previous studies found that fruit and vegetable fibre did not reduce risk.
A cancer charity called for more detailed research on the quantity and type of fibre to eat.

Hot and Steamy: Beautiful Volcano Lakes Hold Data Trove and Potential Danger [Slide Show]
Only 12 percent of the world's active volcanoes are topped with lakes. Scientists study these lakes' chemistry to monitor and learn more about volcanic activity. Whereas the lakes are rare and beautiful, they can also be dangerous. Those atop active vents can bubble and overflow during an eruption, spilling boiling water down the volcano's slopes.

Turkish quake death toll rises to 32 (AP)
VAN, Turkey ? Authorities say at least 32 people, including a Japanese aid worker and two Turkish journalists, were killed in the second earthquake to hit eastern Turkey in about two weeks.
