Salvation From Sin pays homage to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
This coming Friday January 13th at 11:59pm, SALVATION FROM SIN pays homage to the late, great DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr, on what would have been the Nobel Peace Prize winner's 83rd birthday, had he not been assassinated on April 4th, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee.
SFS will showcase several of his most poignant speeches including those from his March on Washington, his stance on the Vietnam War, and of course his I Have A Dream speech. Without bastardizing his heavy words of peace, love and brotherhood, we will also showcase a plethora of inspirational & tasteful House music that best exemplifies the late Reverend's outlook on what the World should have been and should still be.

New uranium enrichment site in Iran
A leading hardline newspaper reported Sunday that Iran had opened a new site for uranium enrichment.
According to The Associated Press, this new underground site would be well protected from possible airstrikes.
Uranium can serve for the production of fossil fuels and fissile warhead material, which scares the international community. Iran is currently under United Nations sanctions because they refuse to stop uranium enrichment.
The country’s leadership says the reactors will only be used for energy and research.
Around 8,000 centrifuges are operating in Natanz, central Iran.
According to an Iranian daily, Revolutionary Guard deputy commander Ali Ashraf Nouri said that if Iran’s exports were to be blocked, the Strait of Hormuz would be closed.
The Strait of Hormuz is at the mouth of the Persian Gulf and is the place where one sixth of the world’s oil reaches the market.
In response to Tehran’s nuclear program, the United States recently directed new sanctions to Iran’s central bank and its ability to sell petroleum internationally.
Canadian frigate joining NATO forces
A Canadian navy frigate crew has set sail yesterday to the Mediterranean Sea joining other NATO forces in the fight against terrorism, according to the CBC.
The crew of about 250 has left Halifax yesterday aboard the HMCS Charlottetown frigate and will return in seven months.
The mission, known as Operation Metric in Canada, will be to patrol the Mediterranean Sea in search of weapons of mass destruction or components, according to Commander Wade Carter.
Carter assured he does not expect the mission to be at high risk. He added the frigate had no plans to take part in potential missions involving Syria or Iran.
Canadian minister sees improvement in Cuba
The Conservative minister for Latin America says Cuba has improved in some ways.
According to the Canadian Press, Diane Ablonczy approved Cuba’s recent economic changes. These include allowing ownership of private property, job opportunities in private sectors, and the right to sell a used car. The changes were made by Raul Castro after taking Cuba from his brother Fidel four years ago.
But the Canadian Press reports Ablonczy doesn’t think this will lead to democratic freedom. She says Cuba does not have political change in mind.
Ablonczy also says Canada wants to have a positive and constructive role in Cuba.
Obama announces major cutbacks to US military budget

In a Thursday Pentagon briefing President Barack Obama said he plans to roll back the cost on the bloated military. The new plan will cut thousands of jobs and save the country at least four hundred and fifty billion dollars. The defense budget could decrease another five hundred billion by the end of the year.
Obama is calling the plan a 'moment of transition' and a way to make the US military 'leaner'. He vowed to give up long-term nation building like the operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
And the focus of the US military will also shift. The Asia-Pacific region will become an area of concern for the military.
But following the announcement China’s state media agency wrote an editorial criticizing the US for this shift in focus. They warned the Western military giant against flexing its muscles in the region.
More specifics on the new US Defense plan will come out with the federal budget next month.
Canadian juniors take home bronze at World Junior Championship
Canada’s World Junior hockey team finished with a medal. But not the one they wanted. The team won the bronze medal of Finland last night with a 4-0 shutout of Finland.
Canada’s gold medal hopes were dashed after a loss on Tuesday from Russia. Canada scored four goals in just under five minutes to come within a goal of the Russians. But it was not meant to be.
Russia went on to the silver medal after losing to Sweden 1-0 in overtime.
Canada’s goaltender Mark Visentin was the hero for Canada’s bronze medal win.
Seven players are eligible to play again for the team. But many will like be scooped up by NHL teams by that time.
