Somali troops enter former militant port city
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) ? Hundreds of Somali troops on Monday entered the port city of Kismayo for the first time since Kenyan troops carried out an amphibious assault on the coastal port city last week, a military offensive that caused al-Shabab militants to flee.
Residents in Kismayo said that Somali troops drove into the port city and met little or no military resistance. Residents largely remained indoors and businesses were closed.
"They are on the streets now. They are firing gunshots now but there is no fighting," Mohamed Hashi, a resident in the town told The Associated Press by phone. "We pray their arrival will not bring chaos and robbery as happened in other towns. We have actually suffered a lot," she said.
It wasn't immediately clear if Kenyan forces working alongside the Somali troops also entered the heart of Kismayo. The Kenyan forces have been on the northern edge of town since the initial assault last Friday. More Kenyan troops are closing in on Kismayo from the west.
The Kenyan Defense Forces said on its Twitter feed Monday afternoon that African Union, Kenyan and Somali troops were "consolidating the gains in Kismayu and expanding out to the rest of the city." The Kenyan military said that civilian safety and security was a top priority.
Kismayo was the last stronghold of the al-Qaida-linked militant group al-Shabab, which taxed goods coming into the port to help fund their activities. Al-Shabab announced their withdrawal from Kismayo shortly after the Kenyan assault on Friday.
The Somali and allied African forces have made significant progress against al-Shabab, the top U.S. official on Africa, Johnnie Carson, an assistant secretary of state, said Monday.
The African Union force "deserves an enormous amount of credit for driving al-Shabab out of Mogadishu and its environs and also for moving against the city of Kismayo," he said.
The African Union force is made up of Ugandan and Burundian troops, who pushed al-Shabab out of Mogadishu in August 2011, and forces from Djibouti and Kenya. Carson said troops from Sierra Leone would arrive in Somalia on Monday and Tuesday to bolster the AU force, which is known as AMISOM.
The Islamist extremist rebels of al-Shabab, who once controlled nearly all of Mogadishu and all of south-central Somalia, now hold only small villages, and the capture of Kismayo serves as a huge economic blow. Al-Shabab is now likely to resort to guerrilla-style attacks like suicide and roadside bombings.
The next challenge for Kismayo is to get the different clans from the surrounding area to cooperate in order to peacefully govern the city.
Carson said the U.S. recognizes that there will be clan competition in Kismayo now. He said he hopes the government in Mogadishu alongside AMISOM and the U.N. "will go in very quickly and establish political stability and a political system that takes into account the various clan and sub-clan interests."
Al-Shabab found little popular support in Kismayo, say residents, because of the conservative brand of Islam it tried to impose on residents. Al-Shabab carried out public executions, whippings and amputations as punishment. The militants also enforced a conservative dress code and social rules.
"Somali forces are now patrolling the city streets. It's a big day and the end of the fear for us," resident Muse Ali said. "We hope the change will lead us into peace and clan agreements."

Iran reportedly seeking to create alternatives to Google, Gmail
Published September 30, 2012
Associated Press
TEHRAN ? ?An Iranian official says Tehran plans to create its own search engine and e-mail service to replace Google and its Gmail e-mail service, even as it weights lifting a ban on Gmail enacted in response to an anti-Islam film.
Sunday reports by Iranian newspapers including the independent Aftab daily quote Deputy Telecommunications Minister Ali Hakim Javadi as saying he hoped to launch the Fakhr search engine and Fajr e-mail in the near future.
Hakim Javadi said authorities are discussing lifting the ban on Gmail imposed by an Iranian court in response to the posting of the film on YouTube, which is owned by Google.
Google's search engine service is still available.
Tehran has long promised to launch its own "clean" and "national" version of the Internet to curb Western influence.

SpaceX tests rocket engines for liftoff
SpaceX
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket fires its engines on a Cape Canaveral launch pad during Saturday's successful static fire test, in preparation for an Oct. 7 launch to the International Space Station.
By Alan Boyle
SpaceX says it successfully test-fired the engines on its Falcon 9 rocket today in preparation for Oct. 7's scheduled liftoff of the California-based company's first official cargo delivery to the International Space Station.
The static-fire test at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida was considered the "last major test" in advance of the launch, SpaceX said in a Twitter update. The rocket was held down while its nine Merlin engines blazed for a couple of seconds on the pad, at the end of a computer-controlled fueling sequence. Data from the test will be analyzed in advance of the scheduled launch at 8:34 p.m. ET on Oct. 7.
This will be the first launch under the terms of a 12-flight, $1.6 billion NASA contract to resupply the space station. In May, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket sent an unmanned Dragon capsule to its first space station hookup, during a NASA-funded demonstration flight. The success of that mission cleared the way for cargo flights to begin in earnest.
Another company, Orbital Sciences Corp., is working on its own launch system for supplying the space station: The first stage of Orbital's Antares rocket is due to roll out next week in preparation for a hold-down test on its Virginia launch pad.
SpaceX is also working on a modified version of the Dragon capsule that could be used to transfer NASA astronauts to and from the space station, beginning in the 2015-2017 time frame. That effort falls under a separate NASA program that is also funding spaceship development efforts by the Boeing Co. and Sierra Nevada Corp.

96% The Imposter
All Critics (91) | Top Critics (24) | Fresh (87) | Rotten (4)
The most fascinating aspect of the movie is why the missing boy's family believed the imposter's story.
You may begin to wonder if you aren't being conned by the movie yourself.
Beverly Dollarhide, Nicholas's mother, says of the period after her son's disappearance, "My main goal in life at that time was not to think." Apparently, the filmmakers have taken a cue from her.
Layton's dazzling film is an exciting, edge-of-your-seat experience superior to any Hollywood mystery you're likely to see for a long time.
"The Imposter" becomes more than just a missing-persons drama. It hints at something much darker: a real-life horror story, the full truth of which may never be known.
This is one creepy mystery.
If you are a fan of true crime stories or the workings of the human mind, The Imposter will blow you away.
... both interesting and repellent.
An unnerving experience and a brilliant piece of documentary filmmaking that peels back the layers on one of the most perplexing stories
Layton layers "The Imposter" with powerful images in the dramatic re-creations, as well as a brooding soundscape and a concise pacing that distributes its information with the reserve of a good mystery writer.
"The Imposter" may be the first movie since "Penn and Teller Get Killed" whose title may need its own spoiler alert.
Every bit as engaging as it is well-shot, it proves once more that truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction.
A mixture of documentary, mystery and thriller, which recounts an astonishing true story that gets more outrageous with each revelation
Strange and intriguing, searching for that elusive essence known as 'the perfect truth.'
Rather like watching a magician pulling off a trick which your eyes cannot see, The Imposter offers its own strange kind of magic.
The story is astonishing enough on its own, and The Imposter succeeds in enhancing its immediacy and intensity.
As his story unfolds, one gets the uncomfortable sensation that a joke is being played. But on whom?
One of the year's most provocative pictures.
Incredibly well-made and with a story you won't forget, "The Imposter" is one of the better docs of the season.
The Imposter emerges as a brilliantly slippery film that demands brain-stretching consideration. Astonishing, indeed.
It's an astounding story, truly, and Bourdin is the most chillingly sympathetic sociopath: frank, remorseless, matter-of-fact.
British director Bart Layton has only slightly fictionalised this extraordinary story for his documentary, which is told more as a thriller than a statement of hard fact.
"The Imposter" is one of the best films of the year.
Not only is the story riveting, but the film explores huge issues that really get under our skin

Auburn secondary coach Willie Martinez likes the energy of young defensive backs (video)
AUBURN, Alabama -- Auburn's
?defense had to take a break today because the schedule-makers said so. But the Tigers' defenders will nonetheless carry some momentum into next week's game against Arkansas following a steady performance in last week's 12-10 loss to LSU.
Auburn found some energy with some young defensive backs in that game. Josh Holsey, Erique Florence, and Robenson Therezie, all of whom played significantly more against LSU than they did in the first three games. ?
Secondary coach Willie Martinez gives a detailed look at his players in this video. Are the changes surprising? Not any more. Martinez has flipped his defensive backs in the first month, changing starters and backups with regularity. Seven different defensive backs have started in the first four games, and that doesn't include backups Holsey, Florence or Therezie.
Martinez said Holsey, a true freshman, won more time because of his special teams play. Martinez said Therezie, a sophomore who started as a defensive back before moving to running before moving back to defensive back, was needed to match the physical nature of LSU. Martinez said he liked the energy of Florence, a sophomore.?
There's even a Jonathan Jones shoutout.?
Will they play more?
"They're getting better and better. Their role could get bigger and bigger," Martinez said. "It really just depends on them, how they continue to practice and continue to earn reps. They earn reps. When they got in there, they did some really good things. They weren't perfect, but they played with a lot of energy and a lot of physicality."
There's more in the video...
