BRUSSELS (Reuters) ? More than 100 journalists or other media staff were killed in 2011, up from last year's toll, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) said on Friday, calling on U.N. Secretary General Bank Ki-moon to act to help protect the profession.
Violence against the media was worst in Pakistan, Iraq and Mexico, each of which saw 11 deaths.
One of those killed in Iraq was a freelance working for Reuters Sabah al-Bazee.
In total, 106 were killed in 2011, compared with 94 in 2010. In addition, 20 journalists or other media staff, died in accidents and natural disasters, the IFJ said.
Most of those named by IFJ were frontline journalists. The rest were cameramen, drivers and other media support staff.
The Brussels-based IFJ blamed the 2011 death toll on governments' failure to protect journalists and punish those responsible for violence against them.
It has written to the U.N. secretary general calling for action.
"In a situation where governments are in denial or indifferent to what has become a regular pattern of targeted killings of journalists, it is incumbent upon yourself and the United Nations to remind them of their responsibility to protect journalists," IFJ President Jim Boumelha wrote in a letter to Ban made public on Friday.
The IFJ represents more than 600,000 journalists in 131 countries around the world.
Earlier this month, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) reported 66 journalists had been killed worldwide in 2011 and said Pakistan had been the second most dangerous country for news coverage for the second year running.

The microbes on your skin determine how attractive you are to mosquitoes, which may have important implications for malaria transmission and prevention, according to a study published Dec. 28 in the online journal PLoS ONE.
Without bacteria, human sweat is odorless to the human nose, so the microbial communities on the skin play a key role in producing each individual's specific body odor. The researchers, led by Niels Verhulst of Wageningen University in the Netherlands, conducted their experiments with the Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto mosquito, which plays an important role in malaria transmission. They found that individuals with a higher abundance but lower diversity of bacteria on their skin were more attractive to this particular mosquito. They speculate individuals with more diverse skin microbiota may host a selective group of bacteria that emits compounds to interfere with the normal attraction of mosquitoes to their human hosts, making these individuals less attractive, and therefore lower risk to contracting malaria. This finding may lead to the development of personalized methods for malaria prevention.

It's shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that the home video choices this week are rather slim; most studios try to make sure they have all of their best stuff ready to go before Christmas, naturally. With that in mind, we bring you an abbreviated edition of RT on DVD, focusing on just five new releases that are hitting shelves. For those of you who are also avid television-watchers, some items of interest we won't be covering include Season 2 of the animated series Archer, the first seasons of two Showtime dramas The Borgias and Shameless, and the first season of IFC sitcom The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, which stars Arrested Development alumni David Cross and Will Arnett. That said, we will be covering two horror movies, a raunchy comedy, a Romanian film, and a fascinating documentary. See below for the full list!

In addition to Mumbai and Delhi, CTC is also looking to expand their focus to cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, and Amritsar. Speaking about the Commission?s decision to hold the road show in Jaipur, Galpin said, ?As most travel agents and tour operators in India are based in metro cities, we thought to organise our event at a city where the Indian buyers can stay away from their hometowns, and network. Last year, we had organised the road show in Goa.? CTC is aiming to set up the road show as an educative B2B platform. Besides Niagara Falls and Toronto, CTC is looking at promoting destinations like British Columbia, Monte Rio and Ontario.
Speaking about the increase in the promotion budget for the Indian market, Galpin informed that the CTC is concentrating on developing countries for promotions and marketing campaigns in addition to their traditional markets. ?Currently, we are focusing on India, China and Brazil and are diverting investment from core and traditional markets to these three potential markets where we see a continuous growth opportunity. In 2011, CTC had allocated USD 2.2 million for destination promotion in India and the budgets for India have been increased to USD 3 million for 2012,? he stated. He went on to mention that the CTC expects a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in tourist arrivals from India ? 135,000 tourist arrivals in 2012. In 2010, Canada witnessed 129,000 Indian tourist arrivals and 122,000 from January to October, 2011.
In keeping with its intent to increase promotional activities in India, CTC recently launched a consumer website for the Indian market - jannat.canada.travel. The website, besides offering information about the country, details packages by various tour operators offering tours to Canada. Speaking about the website, Gaplin said, ?CTC has been working in tandem with the Indian travel trade since we set up operations in India. However, we now believe that it?s time to interact with customers directly, and that's where the website comes in. The website mainly talks about different and unique experiences in Canada. Currently, the campaign on the website focuses on summer destinations.?

ATLANTA (AP) - In the weeks and months after tornadoes tore through homes across the South, pictures and documents rained on yards hundreds of miles away.
An Alabama woman began collecting them in an online database, posting the cherished scraps of people's lives on Facebook so they could be identified and claimed by grateful families.
Now, eight months after the April tornadoes struck in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee, Patty Bullion says she plans to discontinue the online database of pictures and documents.
She says she will leave Facebook page up for a couple more weeks, then take it down and focus on other things in her life. She said the items pictured are highly personal, and she doesn't think they should be online indefinitely.

Duchess Kate Middleton certainly looked festive on Christmas in her plum-colored coat and coordinating hat as she joined Prince William, Prince Harry, Prince Charles, Duchess Camilla and Queen Elizabeth II for church services in Sandringham, Norfolk, UK.
Here's a nice shot of the royal family members ...
Queen Elizabeth, 85, took a car, while the rest of the family walked. Her husband Prince Philip, 90, underwent emergency surgery Friday for a blocked coronary artery.
Saturday, members of the royal family visited Philip in the hospital. Buckingham Palace officials issued an update, saying he had "a good night" following his procedure.
The royal family spent Christmas day at the Queen's Sandringham estate. Today, Pippa Middleton will join her sister and the royal family for a pheasant shoot.
Kate, William and Pippa will then travel to the Middleton family's home in Bucklebury.
The big question: Will Kate Middleton pregnancy rumors or gossip about Pippa and Prince Harry hooking up become the UK tabloid story of the week? Stay tuned!

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras ? Honduran officials on Friday lamented a U.S. decision to pull 158 Peace Corps volunteers out of the Central American country in January for safety reasons.
Foreign Minister Arturo Corrales said he believes the situation is temporary as Honduras works to restore peace and security in a country notorious for having the highest homicide rate in the world.
"The Peace Corps has done an outstanding job in our country," added Security Minister Pompey Bonilla. "We are dismayed by the pullout."
The government reaction came two days after the U.S. government announced it is suspending training for new Peace Corps volunteers in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras and bringing home 158 volunteers from Honduras. The current volunteers will remain in the other two countries.
All three make up the so-called northern triangle of Central America, a region plagued by drug trafficking and gang violence.
A recent U.N. report said Honduras and El Salvador have the highest homicide rates in the world with 82.1 and 66 per 100,000 inhabitants, respectively, in 2010. Guatemala had a rate of 41 per 100,000 last year. All three are more than double the homicide rate of 18 per 100,000 in Mexico, where drug violence has drawn world attention.
"The safety and security of all Peace Corps volunteers is the agency's highest priority," Director Aaron Williams said in a statement Wednesday. "During this time, we are going to conduct a full review of the program. We thank the people of Honduras for their strong support of Peace Corps over the years."
The Peace Corps has operated in Honduras since 1963, according to the statement, and more than 5,500 Americans have served there.

VERACRUZ, Mexico?? The entire police force in the major Gulf coast port city of Veracruz was dissolved on Wednesday and Mexican officials sent the Navy in to patrol.
The Veracruz state government said the decision is part of an effort to root out police corruption and start from zero in the state's largest city.
State spokeswoman Gina Dominguez said 800 police officers and 300 administrative employees were laid off. At a press conference, she said they can apply for jobs in a state police force, but must meet stricter standards for an agency with officers "who are better trained and more committed and who can deliver under our current security circumstances."
Armed marines barricaded police headquarters Wednesday and Navy helicopters were flying above the city where 35 bodies were dumped in September. It was one of the worst gang attacks of Mexico's drug war.
The change was agreed upon Monday by Veracruz Gov. Javier Duarte and federal Interior Secretary Alejandro Poire.
Mexico's army has taken over police operations several times before, notably in the border city of Ciudad Juarez and the border state of Tamaulipas. But Veracruz becomes the first state to completely disband a large police department and use marines as law enforcers. There are about 2,400 marines in the state of Veracruz.
Dominguez said the Navy operations will last only until the state can train more of its own police. Duarte already had disbanded a police force in the state's capital of Xalapa, but in that case state agents immediately replaced city police.
President Felipe Calderon has pushed an ambitious process for vetting all of Mexico's 460,000 police officers. His administration allocated $331 million for 200 cities to train and re-equip municipal police forces.
However governors have complained they lack the resources to ensure their police forces are clean.
Veracruz is a common route for drugs and migrants coming from the south. It was first dominated by the Gulf Cartel and then its former armed wing, the Zetas, took over after the two split. The state saw a rise in crime this spring after a government offensive in neighboring Tamaulipas scared drug criminals away to Veracruz.
But the dumping of the 35 bodies shocked Mexico as it turned port into a battleground between the Zetas and a gang aligned with the Sinaloa Cartel, led by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.

Oh my goodness.? It?s been awhile since we?ve seen Kate Middleton (Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge) in an elegant gown at a formal affair.? As usual, she looks tremendous?and the Princes look fab, as well in their tuxedos while attending the British Military Awards ?Night of Heroes? in London.
?
Prince William, Kate and Prince Harry looking GORGEOUS, as usual.
The Duchess?s strapless black velvet gown was designed by her favorite designer, Sarah Burton for the House of Alexander McQueen, who also designed her exquisite wedding dress.? When I first laid eyes on Kate in this photo, it brought back memories of Princess Diana?s black strapless dress which she wore soon after her engagement to Prince Charles. It was quite scandalous at the time!
The Young Princess-To-Be, Diana in Emmanuel
Diana?s gown was designed by Elizabeth and David Emanuel, who designed Diana?s wedding dress, if you?ll recall. ? I still feel rather heartsick when I see photographs like this one of Diana.? She was so terribly unprepared for the life that was facing her.? But I digress.
Kate, however always appears so at ease and in control of herself and surroundings, all the while looking impeccable. Not to mention, Kate and Harry continually seem to be in cahoots with each other with some kind of inside joke at William?s expense.? (That?s just my own personal assumption, and I?m sticking to it.)
Kate?s Black Velvet Clutch by Pretty Ballerina ? Available at Polyvore ? SALE $145 (Regularly $240)
Kate?s black velvet clutch is more than likely the one thing we can fit into our budget, yes?? Nevertheless, I?m loving everything about the photos of William, Kate and Harry at this affair.? I just wish I could be in on the private conversations, don?t you?

This announcement comes about a month after Connectria Hosting launched its Connectria Cloud Storage to compete with Amazon S3.
ComSci says that Connectria will enable it to provide secure cloud-based solutions for automating complex IT financial cost modeling, budget and forecasting, and demand management processes.
Connectria's solution is able to support ComSci's large-scale operations and meet its security compliance demands, according to the press release.
"Connectria's customer focus resonated with us because it matched the way we do business with our customers, and it made us feel confident in choosing a cloud provider with these same values," Lou Takacs, chief information officer for ComSci said in a statement. "Our priority is providing comprehensive IT financial management and business management solutions -- not building and hosting data centers.

SALT LAKE CITY ? Attorneys for a Utah company that brought a $1 billion antitrust lawsuit against Microsoft Corp. said it will seek to retry the case with a new jury after a federal jury failed to reach a verdict.
Novell Inc. sued the software giant in 2004, claiming Microsoft duped it into developing the once-popular WordPerfect writing program for Windows 95 only to pull the plug so Microsoft could gain market share with its own product. Novell says it was later forced to sell WordPerfect for a $1.2 billion loss.
The trial began two months ago and included two days of testimony from Bill Gates last month. Jurors got the case on Wednesday. After much confusion, and some perplexing questions from the panel, they told U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz they were deadlocked by early Friday evening.
Motz repeatedly asked them if they could keep trying.
"This has been a very long and expensive case," the judge told the panel.
Novell attorneys pleaded with Motz to give the panel just one more day. In the end, however, the 12 jurors told the judge they were "hopelessly" deadlocked, and they later told lawyers a single holdout refused to vote in Novell's favor.
"He had strongly held views about the technical evidence and refused to budge," Novell attorney Jeffrey Johnson said. Jurors offered no comment after the trial.
Novell was left with little to show for a decade of effort.
"Although it's a technically complicated case, we're hoping to convince another jury that our claims have merit," Novell's corporate counsel Jim Lundberg said.
Microsoft said it would file a motion asking the judge to dismiss Novell's complaint for good and avoid a second trial.
"We remain confident that Novell's claims don't have any merit and look forward to the next steps in the process," said Steven Aeschbacher, Microsoft's associate general counsel.
Novell waited until 10 years after Microsoft left WordPerfect behind to file the lawsuit. The company said it was waiting for the U.S. government's antitrust enforcement against Microsoft to wrap up. At first Novell's case was dismissed, but it was later reinstated on appeal.
Microsoft lawyers have argued that Novell's loss of market share was its own doing because the company didn't develop a compatible WordPerfect program until long after the rollout of Windows 95. WordPerfect once had nearly 50 percent of the market for word processing, but its share quickly plummeted to less than 10 percent as Microsoft's own Office programs took hold.
Gates testified last month that he had no idea his decision to drop a tool for outside developers would sidetrack Novell. Gates said he was acting to protect Windows 95 and future versions from crashing.
He said that the company's preferred Word software was superior to WordPerfect, which was a "bulky, slow, buggy product" that did not integrate well with Windows 95.
Novell could have worked around the problem but failed to react quickly, he said.
Novell has argued that Gates ordered Microsoft engineers to reject WordPerfect as a Windows 95 word processing application because he feared it was too good.
Novell's lawsuit is the last major private antitrust case to follow the settlement of a federal antitrust enforcement action against Microsoft more than eight years ago.
Novell is now a wholly owned subsidiary of The Attachmate Group, the result of a merger that was completed earlier this year.

Lindsay Lohan's Playboy issue hit newsstands today and Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson caught up with Hugh Hefner to get the details on the actress' Marilyn Monroe-inspired shoot. Hef says the tribute was a last-minute choice after he was disappointed with what the photographer first shot with Lindsay.
"I saw the results of the first day of shooting and it was not what I was looking for," Hef told Shaun in an interview at the Playboy Mansion on Thursday. "[Lindsay] hadn't bared it all in the first one and she looked like she had just come out of rehab... She looked like she just got up in the morning.
PLAY IT NOW: Why Is Hugh Hefner ?Concerned? For Ex-Fiance Crystal Harris?
"I wanted her to do something that would be truly unforgettable," he added.
Inside the pages of Playboy, Lilo's poses are nearly identical to those of Marilyn's iconic 1953 spread in the men's mag. While Lindsay was on board for the reshoot, her handlers -- at first -- were not, because this time she would be fully nude.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Hugh Hefner: Hollywood?s Original Playboy
"They wanted a little more clothing and I said, 'You know, this is going to be what it's going to be, because we're doing a tribute here to the original nudes,'" Hef explained.
"Marilyn Monroe's comment after the original shoot was, when they asked what she was wearing, [she] said, 'All I had on was the radio.' All Lindsay Lohan had on during this was the radio!"
When asked if the actress arrived to the photo shoot on time, the Playboy magnate wasn't able to provide an answer, but said if she was truly channeling Marilyn, punctuality would not be one of her strongest points.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan: The Early Years
"I don't know the answer to that, [but] if she's doing a tribute to Marilyn Monroe, I assume that means she probably didn't show up on time because Marilyn didn't show up on time," he told Shaun.
"Marilyn was late also?" Shaun asked.

"Oh yes, with regularity," Hef answered.
Despite the unauthorized, premature release of Lindsay's pictorial, Hef still has high hopes for the issue.
"I think you can count on it," he told Shaun, when asked if he believes Lindsay's issue will be a bestseller. "The publicity surrounding it and the anticipation is remarkable."

CAIRO (Reuters) ? Protesters clashed with military police in central Cairo on Friday after rumors spread that an anti-government activist was detained at a sit-in and badly beaten, in the worst violence since the start of Egypt's first free election in decades.
Police fired in the air after dawn to try to disperse around 300 demonstrators who said they were angered by images posted online of the man - named as Abboudi Ibrahim - being supported by a crowd, his face badly bruised and eyes swollen and shut.
The fighting continued and, by mid-morning, the area around the cabinet office and parliament was strewn with rubble as soldiers and men in plainclothes threw stones from the roofs of state buildings down on protesters, who hurled back rocks.
Dozens of troops arrived, fired in the air and rounded up many protesters. The soldiers formed cordons to seal the area. A few demonstrators continued throwing stones at them but the streets were calmer by early afternoon.
"Many protesters fell and were arrested by the army. There were no injuries from live ammunition, just sharp objects and rocks hurled from above," said Yasser Higazie, a doctor in a makeshift clinic.
Cars were set alight and part of a state building burned during the fighting. An assistant to Egypt's health minister said 15 people had been injured in the clashes, state newspaper al-Ahram's website reported.
The sit-in outside cabinet was a leftover of far bigger protests last month in Tahrir Square and nearby streets that left dozens dead and overshadowed the build-up to the first parliamentary election since the overthrow of autocratic President Hosni Mubarak in February.
The six-week vote for the lower house has been mostly peaceful since it began on November 28 and a big first-round turnout took some of the steam out of the street protests aimed at pressuring the military to hand power immediately to civilians.
BATTLEGROUND
Those protests turned streets near Tahrir Square into a battle zone for days, prompting the army-backed interim government to resign and the ruling generals to pledge to step aside by the end of June 2012.
The cabinet is due on Sunday to hold a first full meeting since it was sworn in on December 7 and plans to weigh new austerity measures to address a wider-than-expected budget deficit.
Protesters have occupied an area outside the cabinet office since late November, forcing the government to meet elsewhere.
They said they were provoked into violence overnight by the army, which was looking for an excuse to move in and break up the sit-in.
Protester Bebars Mohamed, 19, said he was at the sit-in when military police grabbed Ibrahim, drawing an angry response from the activists camped outside the cabinet building.
"The army pushed us away from Parliament Street and burnt the tents. They threw rocks and glass on us," he said.
State news agency MENA said activists were urging others to go to Cairo's landmark Tahrir Square for fresh protests. It said protesters later blocked one of the main entrances to Tahrir.
Election turnout appeared relatively high again in the second round of voting on Wednesday and Thursday, which took in parts of greater Cairo, Ismailiya and Suez in the east, Aswan to the south and Nile Delta regions in the north.
The leading group, the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), said it expected to hold onto its lead but that it was not clear whether its share of the vote would stay around the 40 percent mark.
Early indications suggested the FJP was maintaining its lead, followed again by the hardline Islamist Salafi Al-Nour party and the liberal Egyptian Bloc in third place, state newspapers reported on Friday.
The army, which took over after Mubarak was ousted, remains in charge until a presidential election in mid-2012, but parliament will have a popular mandate that the military will find difficult to ignore as it oversees the transition.

It's that time of year again. Ben Flajnik is gearing up to dole out the roses beginning January 2, and like clockwork, The Bachelor spoilers are already swirling.
Get ready for another wild season of skinny dipping, cat fighting, cursing (more than usual in that area) and people coming on the show for the wrong reasons.
Pour the wine (a California varietal, if you please) and grab the tissues, because this is going to be the most intense, talked-about season of The Bachelor EVER!
No fewer than 25 women are waiting to throw themselves at Ben, but who will advance to the coveted hometown dates, and who is he engaged to at the end?
Thanks to Reality Steve, Bachelor soothsayer extraordinaire, a man who comes through even in the face of potential litigation, we can likely these questions.
Ready to learn the identities (with photos!) of the alleged final four women this season, as well as the winner of Ben Flajnik's heart and a Neil Lane ring?
Follow the jump for The Bachelor spoilers galore ...
Nicky Sterling: A divorced dental hygienist "who likes to drink Coors Light and get her party on," she brings Ben back to her hometown of Hurst, Texas.
Lindzi Cox: A native of Ocala, Fla., she makes quite a first impression on Ben. Like Puss in Boots and the Old Spice Guy, she's on a horse! First impression rose? Hers.
Courtney Robertson: The Scottsdale, Ariz., product is an international model with pictures all over the Internet, and even has a national ad for Caesar's Palace on TV.
In addition, Court is reportedly disliked by the others in the house from the get-go, swears like a sailor and went skinny dipping with Ben in Puerto Rico. Hot stuff!
Kacie Boguskie: Got to show off her baton twirling skills when she had the first date of the season in Sonoma, then took Ben home to beautiful Clarksville, Tenn.
Sadly for Kacie, she gets bounced after the hometown dates. Rough.
The final three - Nicky, Lindzi, and Courtney - jet off to Switzerland for overnight dates. The trip to Europe is depicted, along with much more, in this preview:
Nicky is eliminated after the overnights, leaving Lindzi and Courtney.
The final rose ceremony took place Wednesday, November 16 at a Swiss mountain location so remote, both girls arrived at the rose ceremony via helicopter.
