President Dmitry Medvedev on Saturday demanded that Russia tighten its notoriously lax fire codes after the deadliest blaze since the Soviet era killed at least 107 people celebrating in a nightclub with a decorative twig ceiling and single exit.

About 130 people were injured, dozens critically, when onstage fireworks set the ceiling of the Lame Horse nightclub ablaze soon after midnight, witnesses and officials said. Many victims were trapped in a panicked crush for the exit as they attempted to escape the flames and thick black smoke.

Authorities quickly arrested two registered co-owners of the club, its managing director, and two other suspects. One other suspect was injured in the fire and remains in critical condition.

Officials said club managers had ignored repeated demands from authorities to change the interior to comply with fire safety standards. Emergency Situations Minister Sergei Shoigu told Medvedev by videoconference from Perm that the club managers violated the law by running the fireworks display that triggered the fire.

Mark Ingram and Greg McElroy sliced up the fearsome Florida defense in Alabama’s 32-13 win as Tim Tebow finally met his match, no matter how hard he tried to fire up his teammates.

With an emphatic chomping of the Gators on Saturday, the Crimson Tide again stands atop the Southeastern Conference and is just one win away from an even bigger title — it’s first national championship since 1992.

Ingram, making a strong bid to claim the school’s first Heisman Trophy, rushed for 113 yards and three touchdowns. McElroy was 12 of 18 for 239 yards and a touchdown to show he’s no weak link and No. 2 Alabama rekindled memories of Paul “Bear” Bryant with the convincing victory.

Alabama (13-0) moves on to Pasadena for the BCS championship game. Tebow and the Gators (12-1) will likely settle for the Sugar Bowl, denied a shot at their third national title in four years.

A suspect accused of helping Maurice Clemmons flee after the gunman massacred four suburban police officers could face trial as an accomplice to murder — a crime that might bring the same penalties as if he had pulled the trigger himself.

Darcus Allen, 38, pleaded not guilty and was ordered held without bail Wednesday after he was charged with being a fugitive. The prosecution is reviewing evidence to determine if any additional charges will be filed, including criminal assistance charges.

Investigators said Allen, who did time with Clemmons in an Arkansas prison, was the first among a network of friends and relatives who helped Clemmons avoid police during a frantic two-day manhunt that began when Clemmons walked into the Forza coffee house Sunday morning and shot to death four Lakewood police officers.

Prosecutors warned they might charge him with the more serious offense of being an accomplice to aggravated first-degree murder. Such a charge could make him liable to the same penalties as the shooter — life without release, or execution.

American student Amanda Knox tried one last time Thursday to convince the Italian court trying her for murder that she is not a killer, urging jurors not to brand her with “the mask of an assassin.”

Knox spoke at the end of a trial that has exposed some of the most intimate details of her life, with prosecutors depicting her as a promiscuous and manipulative she-devil who brutally murdered her British roommate in Perugia, Meredith Kercher.

The trial, in which Knox’s ex-boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito figures as a co-defendant, is wrapping up after almost a year. Thursday’s session was devoted to rebuttals by defense lawyers and the prosecution, and the eight members of the jury are expected to begin deliberations as early as Friday.

Standing up, her voice breaking as she fought back tears, the 22-year-old American told the court that she feels “vulnerable” and fears losing herself after two years in jail.

The ugg boot sale is a common term for a sort of sheepskin boot that has been made in Australia and New Zealand for just about two hundred years.Because of trademark issues, classic tall uggs are way more frequently than not known in the retail market simply as Sheepskin Boots.
In the beginning, in Australia and New Zealand this cosy and warm footwear was being worn by social groups such as Bogans, Westies and Bevans in public.The classic tall boots certainly became popular during the sixties with surfers and competitive swimmers as they kept them warm while out of the water.
Thanks to the US trademark laws you’ll find that many Australian and US makers who produce this style of footwear are now selling them as ‘Sheepskin Boots’ rather than ‘ugg boots classic tall‘.
This resulted in the decision that the words ‘Ug Boots’,'Ugg Boots’ and ‘Ugh Boots’ might be interchangeable and were a generic term for ‘Sheepskin Boots’.However, there had been a giant amount of controversy over this matter as many Australians and New Zealanders were opposed to having ‘ugg classic tall boots sale‘ trademarked.The good news is today all the problems are settled and you can get your stylish, warm ugg classic tall on the Internet today.

Eight local authorities in England have been told they must urgently improve their social care services for adults.

The Care Quality Commission found overall improvement, with 95% of councils in the top two categories.

But its annual report rated one in four care homes for the elderly as being adequate at best and found large variations in areas and providers.

Poole, Cornwall, Solihull, Surrey, South Tyneside, Southwark, Peterborough and Bromley are to get extra support.

The report covers independent providers of care services as well as an assessment of England’s 148 local authorities.

Nato’s secretary general has said members will do “substantially more” to contribute to the fight against al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Anders Fogh Rasmussen said non-US Nato countries would provide at least 5,000 extra troops, and “probably a few thousand on top of that”.

His pledge came as President Barack Obama said he would increase US forces in Afghanistan by 30,000 - to 100,000.

Mr Rasmussen said Nato troops would remain there “as long as it takes”.

“In 2010, the non-US members of this mission will send at least 5,000 soldiers and probably a few thousand on top of that,” Mr Rasmussen said, clarifying that this number was in addition to the more than 38,000 already there.
