(AP) ? Turkey accused Syria of "state terrorism" Wednesday after a sharp spike in the death toll from the Syrian civil war, and Iran came under new scrutiny with the U.S. alleging that Tehran is flying weapons to President Bashar Assad's regime across Iraqi airspace.

With violence escalating in the nearly 18-month-old crisis, strains rippled across the region as Egypt's president urged Assad to take a lesson from the Arab Spring uprisings that deposed other leaders and step down.

There appears to be no end in sight for the conflict, however. Neither side seems to be able to gain a significant advantage in the fighting that has killed 23,000 people, according to activists' estimates.

Turkey has become one of the strongest critics of Assad and is host to Syrian opposition groups as well as about 80,000 of the more than 200,000 refugees who have fled to surrounding countries to escape the bloodshed.

"The regime has become one of state terrorism," said Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. "Syria is going through a huge humanitarian saga. Unfortunately, as usual, the international community is merely watching the slaughter, massacre and the elimination of Muslims."

The Syrian government's crackdown has led to worldwide condemnation and sanctions, weakened the economy and left Assad an international pariah just as he was trying to open up his country and modernize the economy. His few remaining allies include Iran, Russia and China.

The New York Times reported that U.S. officials believe Iran resumed shipments of military equipment to Syria via Iraqi airspace in July after a three-month hiatus.

Ali al-Moussawi, media adviser to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, confirmed that Iranian planes are flying over Iraq to deliver goods to Syria. But he said Tehran has assured al-Maliki that the flights are carrying only food and other humanitarian aid for victims of the civil war.

"The Iraqi government is carefully monitoring this issue both in the sky and ground," al-Moussawi told The Associated Press. He said Iraq has warned Iran against flying weapons though its airspace.

"The Iranian government has said that it respects our decisions," he said. "Until now, there is no evidence of any violation in this regard, and if anyone has any evidence, they should bring it to us and we will take the needed measures."

Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., said Iraq's failure to stop the flights could threaten the long-term relationship with the U.S. as well as aid Iraq could receive as part of a 2008 strategic pact between the two nations.

"Bottom line, this kind of problem with these Iranian overflights can make it more difficult to proceed with the Strategic Framework Agreement in the manner that the prime minister and we would like to see happen," Lieberman told reporters in Baghdad. "So I hope this is cleared up quickly."

Tommy Vietor, the National Security Council spokesman at the White House, said Tehran "will stop at nothing to support a Syrian regime that is murdering its own people," adding that Iraq, like all other nations, must block Iran from exporting arms.

The United States and other countries are also upset that China and Russia have repeatedly used their veto powers in the U.N. Security Council to block actions that could have led to sanctions against Assad's regime. China says the civil war needs to be resolved through negotiations and not outside pressure.

"I think history will judge that China's position on the Syria question is a promotion of the appropriate handling of the situation," Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said at a news conference in Beijing with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. "For what we have in mind is the interests of the people of Syria and the region and the interests of peace, stability and development in the region and throughout the world."

The comment was a direct rebuke to Clinton, who has said the Chinese and Russian vetoes have put those nations "on the wrong side of history."

She responded bluntly to Yang by saying the violence was boiling over into other countries like Jordan and Turkey and that the Security Council has to act.

"It is no secret that we have been disappointed by Russia and China's actions blocking tougher U.N. Security Council resolutions and we hope to continue to unite behind a real path forward to end the violence in Syria," she said.

At a meeting of Arab foreign ministers in Cairo, Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi warned his Syrian counterpart that "it's too late to talk about reform. This is the time for change."

"The Syrian regime must learn from recent history," Morsi said, alluding to the authoritarian regimes that fell in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Yemen in the Arab Spring uprisings.

His strong comments followed an address last month during a summit meeting of the nonaligned movement in Tehran, where the Egyptian leader gave a hearty call for world support of Syria's rebels.

In new reports of fighting, the rebels said they shot down a government MiG jet and a helicopter.

The commander of the rebel Free Syrian Army, breakaway air force Col. Riad al-Asaad, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from Turkey that the aircraft was downed in Abu al-Dhuhour, an area in the northwestern province of Idlib, five days ago.

A video posted online by the opposition showed the wreckage of a jet and the body of a pilot. The AP could not independently confirm the rebel claims or the video.

The narrator of the online video said the MiG was downed Tuesday. The discrepancy could not be immediately reconciled.

Al-Asaad said the rebels used anti-aircraft missiles captured from Syrian army bases. Rebels have claimed before that they have shot down government planes. The regime has acknowledged crashes in the past, but blamed them on mechanical failures.

Still, observers say the country is in for a bloody stalemate.

"It is evident that the regime's increasingly violent crackdown has failed to break the will of the opposition, as robust resistance continues across the country," said James Petretta, an analyst at Maplecroft, a British-based risk analysis company.

"At the tactical level, the regime retains the advantage although not to the extent that it is able to deal a decisive blow to the armed opposition," he said.

Windows Phone and BlackBerry are the only things that can slow Android?s rise in enterprise

Android Tops BYOD Market Share

Workers love their smartphones, and unless Microsoft (MSFT) and RIM (RIMM) do anything about it, workers will soon be loving Android smartphones most of all. The latest numbers from ABI Research project that 2.7 billion workers will be using smartphones for their jobs by 2017, roughly three times the number using them today. What?s more, ABI projects that Android phones will account for 56% of all devices used by workers, although the firm hedges its bets somewhat by saying that Microsoft?s Windows Phone?and RIM?s BlackBerry OS could snatch market share away from Android depending on how well they execute.

According to ABI, the success of Android in the workplace all depends on whether ?Microsoft and RIM put more power in the hands of the enterprise concerning employee mobile device use, particularly for accessing corporate resources.? Of course, RIM?s bread-and-butter traditionally has been putting more power in the hands of the enterprise but that hasn?t stopped iOS and Android from weaving their way into workforces around the world.

The real issue, it seems, is whether RIM and Microsoft can make their phones attractive not just to employers but to the people who will actually be using them.

Obama visits Texas to mark Iraq war anniversary

(AP) ? President Barack Obama is serving up an election-year reminder that he ended the Iraq war, visiting a Texas military base two years to the day that he formally declared the end of the U.S. combat mission.

Obama's visit Friday to the vast Fort Bliss Army post in El Paso underscores a point Obama has made repeatedly on the campaign trail: He made a promise to end the unpopular Iraq war and kept it. Obama also visited Fort Bliss on Aug. 31, 2010, the day he announced the end of the U.S. combat role.

The White House says the visit is official business ? not campaign-related, although the distinction is not always clear. Obama will speak to troops and have a round-table discussion with service members and military families, the White House said.

Obama returns to the campaign trail on Saturday with appearances in Iowa.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said the visit to Fort Bliss will highlight administration efforts to support U.S. service members and their families, both in Iraq and Afghanistan. Those efforts include attempts to combat what Carney called "unseen wounds" of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, including post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury.

Fort Bliss soldiers participated in the Iraqi invasion in 2003 and were among the last to serve in combat roles there. The post endured significant losses during the Iraq war.

Carney told reporters Thursday that the visit was about more than politics. He called Obama's record on defense issues substantive and said the president had a "profound commitment" to end the war in Iraq and bring U.S. troops home.

"Part of ending the war in Iraq responsibly is standing by those who served," Carney said.

Veterans are a key voting bloc in the closely fought presidential race.

A Gallup tracking poll in August shows Republican Mitt Romney leads Obama, 55 percent to 38 percent among veterans. Exit polls conducted in 2008 showed voters who had served in the military preferred Republican John McCain over Obama by 10 percentage points.

At their party's convention this week in Tampa, Fla., Romney and other Republicans made repeated references to veterans. Romney broke away from the convention Wednesday to speak to the American Legion in Indianapolis.

Mindful of his poll numbers, Obama has sharply contrasted his record on Iraq and Afghanistan with Romney's rhetoric.

Campaigning in Virginia on Wednesday, Obama cited Romney's comment that ending the war in Iraq was "tragic."

His Republican rival "doesn't have a plan to bring home the 33,000 troops who will be coming home from Afghanistan next month," Obama said. "He likes to talk tough, but he doesn't have a lot of details when it comes to these critical issues. "

By contrast, Obama said ? repeating a familiar theme ? "When I say I will end the war in Iraq, I will end it. When I say that we will go after (Osama) bin Laden, we'll go after him."

As long as he is commander in chief, Obama added, "we will serve our veterans as well as they've served us. I mean it."

Unfortunately, many buyers donrrrt know that the Realtor typically represents the seller in any transaction. Because of this she or he may stop obligated to inform you if the house is over-priced or has undesirable features. Some Realtors claim to represent both buyer and seller, as so-called ?transaction brokers.? It is difficult to represent each side, however, since they have conflicting interests.

One solution of this dilemma is to hire a buyer?s broker. A true buyer?s broker should represent only buyers and should not have listings for sale. A good buyer?s broker will probably be worth their weight in gold. Such a broker will steer you away from bad buys and warn you about problems you might ?t be aware of, including neighborhood prone to flooding and other natural calamities. Some buyer?s brokers work for a flat fee, but a majority of ask for a commission from the seller?s agent, meaning your use of a buyer?s agent won?t run you anything extra. Therefore, you will only get to focus on selecting a house for sale fitting your specific requirements.

Buyer?s brokers are a relatively new concept, plus they may ?t be available in many areas. There is absolutely nothing wrong with working with a seller?s broker or a transaction broker if you recognize that see your face may be more motivated to sell homes than to protect you. Be especially wary if the broker attempts to push his own listing or the listings that provide him a bonus for procuring the buyer.

Buying a home may not that easy as numerous people claim it to be. If you don?t have got all the money to spend on hiring a real estate broker that is certainly capable of giving you the services of doing the job for you, you then should get yourself involved throughout the whole process. Be very watchful wonderful the opportunities presented to you. Don?t be afraid to ask questions for matters that aren?t clear to you or else you don?t understand. It really is the best you can protect your hard-earned money.
