Time is Libya local time

00:15 Al Jazeera Arabic interviewed an eyewitness in Al Zawia who stated:

There are no wounded or killed

We have informed the youth that in the even of any shooting, they should lie flat

We don’t know how they came in. Most probably individually, rather than a group

It is safe to say that it is attack and retreat. Most of the clashes are happening on the outskirts of the city. But this last time was in the centre.

Morale is high, there is semi-stability. Most important to us is high spirits. People are constantly chanting: Victory is coming.

There is a shortage of food, and a large shortage of medication. We right now are in need of blood. We have 150 injured. Our biggest issue is blood right now. We need donations.

00:12 While Al Jazeera was speaking to an eyewitness in Az-Zawiya it was being attacked.

Clashes appear to be on and off according to an eyewitness.

Has their been an update in the past 5-6 hours on the status of the Ferry with the Americans on board? Is the boat still in port, or has it left for Malta?

Not yet still bad weather

quite regularly. Found this on Yahoo this evening and decided to bring it here as it is newsworthy and I am sure the pizza suppliers in Egypt will get a kick out of it.

WASHINGTON – With a wary eye on Wisconsin, Republican leaders in several states are toning down the tough talk against public employee unions and, in some cases, abandoning anti-union measures altogether.

Indiana's governor urged GOP lawmakers to give up on a "right to work" bill for fear the backlash could derail the rest of his agenda. In Ohio, senators plan to soften a bill that would have banned all collective bargaining by state workers. And in Michigan, the Republican governor says he'd rather negotiate with public employees than pick a fight.

...which goes to reinforce the fact that the power is in the people, period.
