[Free Bacon] China has awarded its version of the Nobel Peace Prize to Robert Mugabe, the Zimbabwean dictator who has been widely condemned for repressing his own people throughout his 35-year rule.
Mugabe, 91, is reported to have prevailed against Microsoft founder Bill Gates and South Korean President Park Geun-hye for this year's Confucius Peace Prize. China developed the alternative award in 2010 out of frustration after the Nobel committee awarded its prize to Liu Xiaobo, a Chinese dissident and democracy activist who remains in jail.
Past recipients of the Confucius Prize include Fidel Castro and Vladimir Putin, two authoritarian leaders that have also been assailed for persecuting their citizens and sowing instability abroad.
Beijing says these autocratic leaders have helped preserve security and stability in their countries.
"Though its economy is lagging behind, [Zimbabwe is] a very stable country [and] stability is precious in the African continent," said Qiao Damo, chairman of the Confucius Prize committee, on its decision to honor Mugabe.
Rick Fisher, an expert on China at the International Assessment and Strategy Center, said it would be a "mistake" to dismiss Beijing's prize as a meaningless gesture. No doubt our very own 2009 'Nobel Peace Prize' winner will give Comrade Bob a congratulatory call.
Bulgaria, Serbia and Romania said on Saturday they would close their borders if Germany or other countries do the same to stop refugees coming in, warning they would not allow the Balkan region to become a buffer zone for stranded migrants.

If we effectively closed our southern border, you think Mexico would allow all those Central Americans in? As long as there's money to be made and the illegals keep moving north, they'll look the other way on their own Article 33 of their constitution.
[Dawn] Youm-e-Ashur was observed throughout the country on Saturday with due solemnity and reverence to pay homage to the sacrifices of Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and his lover companions at Karbala.
On this occasion Alam, Zuljinah and Taazia processions were taken out throughout the country amid tight security arrangements.
Ashura processions were monitored through command and control centres in big cities including Rawalpindi, Lahore and Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... Thousands of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras were installed to make the security foolproof.
The mourners were allowed to join the Ashura processions only after body search by security personnel and by crossing through walk through gates.
Three layers of security were in place, with all linking roads along the routes of the processions sealed off by placing containers and barbwires. Nobody was allowed to join the processions without security check.
Pillion riding was completely banned in many cities. Air surveillance was also carried out through helicopters.
In Karachi, the main procession was taken out from Nishtar Park which culminated at Imambargah ...since Pakistain is very religiously correct, Shia Moslems can't call their houses of worship 'mosques,' which are reserved for Sunnis. It's not clear if imambargahs are used for explosives storage like mosques are... Hussainia Irania.
Over 13,000 security personnel were deployed in the city to avoid any untoward incident.
In Lahore, the main procession was taken out from the Nisar Haveli.
It terminated at Karbala Gamay Shah after passing through its traditional route.
In Rawalpindi, the main mourning procession was taken out from Imambargah Colonel Maqbool Hussain which terminated at Imambargah Qadeemi.
In Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. , over a dozen Alam, Zuljinah and Tazia processions were taken out. The main procession was taken out from Qissa Khawani imambargah Alamdaar.
Around 7000 police personnel were deployed for security of mourning processions and azadars to avert any untoward incident during Ashura.
In Quetta, the main procession was taken out from Alamdar Road. After passing through its traditional route it ended from where it had started.
Similarly, in Muzaffarabad, main procession was taken out from Markazi Imambargah Pir Ilam Shah Bukhari and culminated at the same place after passing through its traditional route.
Similarly, dozens of Taazia, Alam and Zuljinah processions were taken out in four districts of Baltistan region.
In Skardu, the main procession was taken out from imambargah Hussainabad which culminated at its starting point after passing from Qatal Shah and Ziarat-e-Shuhda-e-Karbala.
Majalis-e-Sham-e-Gharibaan were also held in the evening to pay homage to the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Husain (RA) and his lover companions in Maidan-e-Karbala for the sublimity and glory of Islam.
Meanwhile, ...back at the game, the Babe headed for second base. He almost made it. Then Sheila slapped him.... elaborate security measures were taken by the government deploying thousands of military, paramilitary and police force to avoid any untoward incident.
Authorities on Saturday suspended internet and cellular phone services in many cities as part of the security measures for Muharram processions and majalis.
The services were suspended in 68 districts of the countries including Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, Quetta, Dera Ismail Khan ... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ... , Muzaffargarh, Rahim Yar Khan, Nasirabad, Sohbatpur and Dera Alahyar.
The mobile phone services were restored after evening.

At work, it would be a bigger problem then at home. In one, office might be 20 such keys and there is generally little problem to get access to the cars.

...Just thinking that the folks REALLY susceptible to this will be car dealers. All it will take is a hack fob, night, and a faked 30-day tag, and they're gone - and can be hundreds of miles away before anybody knows.

This is why I keep the keys to my Cadillac under my tinfoil hat.
