A magnitude 8.8 quake has hit Chile, southwest of the Chilean capital Santiago. So far, sporadic reports are coming in from different sources about the quake. What can be ascertained is that at least 16 people have died as a result of the earthquake. Extensive damage to Central Chile – which is the most populated part of the country – is expected. As more news reports come in, the Associated Press reported that Chilean president Michele Bachelet has declared a ’state of catastrophe’ for three regions in Central Chile. The AP also adds:]]> http://www.dailyniteowl.com/wordpress/index.php/2010/02/27/liveblog-earthquake-in-chile-february-27/feed/ 15 http://www.dailyniteowl.com/wordpress/index.php/2010/02/11/live-blogging-street-protests-in-iran-february-11-22-bahman/ http://www.dailyniteowl.com/wordpress/index.php/2010/02/11/live-blogging-street-protests-in-iran-february-11-22-bahman/#comments Thu, 11 Feb 2010 03:17:46 +0000 Josh Shahryar http://www.dailyniteowl.com/wordpress/?p=1730 7:00 AM (Tehran Time) Iran is commemorating the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution that changed the shape of the country and brought in an oppressive theocratic regime - headed by conservative Shi'ite clerics. The opposition Green Movement has planned massive protests for today throughout the country. I'll be liveblogging the events starting in about two hours from now. The only news coming in at this point is that Tehran and other parts of the country are currently under tight security by the police and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. People have not showed up yet because it is too early in the morning. Protesters should start coming out onto streets in a couple of hours. I will be updating and tweeting simultaneously as the protests happen through the day. ]]> http://www.dailyniteowl.com/wordpress/index.php/2010/02/11/live-blogging-street-protests-in-iran-february-11-22-bahman/feed/ 22 http://www.dailyniteowl.com/wordpress/index.php/2010/02/03/twitter-revolutions-next-stop-venezuela/ http://www.dailyniteowl.com/wordpress/index.php/2010/02/03/twitter-revolutions-next-stop-venezuela/#comments Wed, 03 Feb 2010 02:39:29 +0000 Josh Shahryar http://www.dailyniteowl.com/wordpress/?p=1719 Theirs is a story much similar to Iran's. A population subjugated to ill-planned economics, a strongman unwilling to leave power and a government ever more keen to restrict their right to freedom of speech. As protests rocked Venezuela a week ago, news of the protest made its way out not only on the backs of the traditional mainstream media outlets, but also on Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Photobucket and other websites once used for entertainment, killing time or just plain ole finding a date. The powerful role that social networking websites have continued to play for getting news out of Iran and organizing events in support of the Green Movement abroad seems to be slowly being harnessed for the Venezuelan students as well.]]> http://www.dailyniteowl.com/wordpress/index.php/2010/02/03/twitter-revolutions-next-stop-venezuela/feed/ 13 http://www.dailyniteowl.com/wordpress/index.php/2010/01/14/live-blogging-haiti-earthquake-january-14-news-from-on-the-ground/ http://www.dailyniteowl.com/wordpress/index.php/2010/01/14/live-blogging-haiti-earthquake-january-14-news-from-on-the-ground/#comments Thu, 14 Jan 2010 21:04:21 +0000 Josh Shahryar http://www.dailyniteowl.com/wordpress/?p=937 Live-blogging on news from on the ground in Haiti's disaster from the mainstream media, underground media, blogosphere, Youtube, Twitter and other online resources.
