The collision scene covered a three-kilometre stretch of highway between Napanee and Deseronto.

The eastbound lanes are closed between Country Road 41 and Deseronto Road, east of Belleville, Ont.
Ambulances transported nine people to hospital, Ontario Provincial Police said. Three of those patients were later taken to Kingston General Hospital with serious injuries.

A bus was sent to the scene to transfer 19 people to an emergency shelter. Some of them had minor injuries but did not want to go to hospital.
Several regular and heavy tow trucks have been on scene throughoutthe day.

The eastbound lanes are expected to reopen Wednesday evening, OPP said.

Be careful out there.

Be careful out there.

I've been is similar situations that waited for hours but was fortunate enough to have my tank full. Once the lanes were open I saw tons of stalled cars because they ran out of gas. My first thought was why didn't the send a few buses on the West bound lanes so people can jump across keep warm and save on gas.


God I am so smart.

North Korea has upgraded the operating system used in the country - and it bears a striking resemblance to Apple's Mac OSX platform.

Red Star OS is the country's "home-grown" software that is installed on computers found mostly in libraries and schools. It previously had a look that closely mimicked Microsoft's Windows system.

Screenshots were obtained by American computer scientist Will Scott and published on the NorthKoreaTech blog. Despite living in a country very much shut off from the outside world, many people in North Korea do have access to technology - including mobile phones. However, devices are heavily restricted. Internet access, for instance, is locked down, with most users able to visit only a handful of sites mostly serving up state-sponsored news.

The Linux-based Red Star OS is peppered with North Korean propaganda, and its calendar tells users it is not 2014, but 103 - the number of years since the birth of former North Korean leader Kim Il-sung. An earlier version of Red Star OS was made available worldwide in 2010 after a Russian student posted it online. The latest version is believed to have been released some time in 2013.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been keen to demonstrate his country's technological abilities since coming to power in December 2011. In August 2013, he visited a factory that was said to have been manufacturing the country's first smartphone. Industry experts, however, were unconvinced - most agreed that it was more likely to have been made in China.

Talk about Karma.

BAGHDAD — A group of Sunni militants attending a suicide bombing training class at a camp north of Baghdad were killed on Monday when their commander unwittingly conducted a demonstration with a belt that was packed with explosives, army and police officials said.

The militants belonged to a group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, which is fighting the Shiite-dominated army of the Iraqi government, mostly in Anbar Province. But they are also linked to bomb attacks elsewhere and other fighting that has thrown Iraq deeper into sectarian violence.

Twenty-two ISIS members were killed, and 15 were wounded, in the explosion at the camp, which is in a farming area in the northeastern province of Samara, according to the police and army officials. Stores of other explosive devices and heavy weapons were also kept there, the officials said.

Eight militants were arrested when they tried to escape, the officials said.
The militant who was conducting the training was not identified by name, but he was described by an Iraqi Army officer as a prolific recruiter who was “able to kill the bad guys for once.”
ISIS militants drove into Falluja and the nearby city of Ramadi, both in Anbar Province, earlier this year with heavy weaponry, taking control of key intersections and offices of local authorities.

Local security forces and tribes have since re-established control in Ramadi.
But Iraq is developing a plan, with help from the United States, that would have Sunni tribes take the lead in ending the standoff with ISIS in Falluja, with the Iraqi Army in support, a senior State Department official told Congress last week.

The official, Brett McGurk, said that ISIS had about 2,000 fighters in Iraq, and that its longer-term objective is to establish a base of operations in Baghdad, led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who has been officially designated as a global terrorist by the State Department.

In other violence in Iraq, a roadside bomb detonated in the northern city of Mosul alongside the convoy of the speaker of Parliament, the Sunni leader Osama al-Nujaifi, security officials said. Six of his guards were wounded, but Mr. Nujaifi was unharmed, they said.

In Baghdad, a doctor was found dead with bullet wounds in his head and chest two days after he was kidnapped from his house, medical officials said.
In the Baya district of southwestern Baghdad, a bomb left near a cafe killed four people and wounded 11, according to a police official.
