to elect Newark's first black mayor, Kenneth Gibson.

In many communities, black power groups stepped in to provide vital services to impoverished people abandoned by the state. The Black Panther Party's "Survival Program" included free breakfasts for schoolchildren, free medical testing and treatment, and free legal services. There was also a surprisingly conservative, even puritanical side to a movement often perceived as anarchic and hedonistic. A young man who returned to Newark after serving in Vietnam later remembered:

Imamu Baraka made a speech, I will never forget it. It was dealing with morality, like cleaning up your lifestyle – drinking and smoking and all this type of stuff.

He joined Baraka's organisation, took the name Saidi Nguvu, and "never smoked a day since. That was the impact it had on me".His first assignment was "to go out and organize tenant groups to alleviate the conditions in the housing projects. To get better service, elevators, all that kind of stuff". Not, then, the stuff of black power's media legend.

Targeted with infiltration, harassment and lethal violence by the police and FBI, most black power organisations were reduced to a shell by the mid-1970s. As Baraka himself concluded, the new class of black city politicians and bureaucrats ushered into office on the coattails of the movement often drifted into the cynical urban politics of business-as-usual.

But in spite of its failures and shortcomings, thousands of minority and poor activists are still inspired by the black power movement to continue waging daily struggles for dignity and social justice in communities ravaged by neglect

Making Sure the EU's Long-term Budget Adds Up

Setting a budget is a difficult exercise at the best of times. Even when money is plentiful, it is never unlimited, so tough choices have to be made.

Now imagine 27 countries, all with their own of difficulties and preferences, having to decide about billions of euros for a seven-year period in the midst of the biggest economic crisis since the great depression.

This is the challenge the EU faces in coming months as it negotiates the long-term budget for 2014-2020. It's more than just agreeing on numbers. As the budget for each policy area will also be set, it is about determining the EU's future direction.

Texas vs Kansas

No. 3 Kansas dumps Longhorns

CBSSports.com wire reports

March 3, 2012

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- It's become tradition at Kansas for the seniors to address the crowd after their final home game. So in the minutes after the third-ranked Jayhawks finished off a 73-63 victory over Texas on Saturday night, nobody inside Allen Fieldhouse got up from their seat.

First was Jordan Juenemann, the spunky former walk-on. Then came Connor Teahan, the 3-point specialist. But before star guard Tyshawn Taylor addressed the crowd, coach Bill Self acknowledged Thomas Robinson, the bruising junior who is likely headed to the NBA after the season.

Self wouldn't let him talk, though.

Robinson would have to come back for one more season to earn that honor.

The big guy finished with 25 points and


14 rebounds against the Longhorns, while Taylor had 22 points to cap his four-year career in Lawrence. Teahan and Juenemann also played significant minutes, both of them getting the start in their final home games.

"I think more so than anything I've grown up as a man in front of all you guys' eyes," Taylor said after the game, addressing a packed house. "You've seen me at my best and you've seen me at my worst, and I just appreciate all you sticking with me.

"I love y'all to death," he said. "You're my family."

J'Covan Brown scored 29 of his 33 points in the second half for the Longhorns (19-12, 9-9), whose failure to control Robinson dealt a blow to their NCAA tournament hopes.

They'll head to Kansas City next weekneeding a couple wins to feel comfy.

"I always believed it's your body of work," Texas coach Rick Barnes said. "I also have confidence in our league -- if we're the second-best league in the country, that's where we are, there's no reason we shouldn't have six teams in."

Robinson scored 18 of his points in the second half as the Big 12 champion Jayhawks (26-5, 16-2) tuned up for the conference tournament in style. Kansas has won eight straight overall, 22 in a row at home and improved to 20-7 all-time against the Longhorns.

"He's the best player in the country," said the Longhorns' Clint Chapman. "He took advantage of every opportunity that we have him with offensive rebounds and driving by guys."

Robinson said he didn't know that Self would


acknowledge him after the game. He briefly thought he'd have to deliver a speech, then was pleased to find out that wouldn't be the case.

"He can come back next year if he wants to do that," Self said.

Kansas and Texas have waged their share of memorable games in recent years -- four of the past six seasons they've met in the conference tournament title game, and it was Texas that ruined the Jayhawks' 69-game home winning streak last season.

In this one, they spent most of the first half trying to wake up.

The Jayhawks, who wrapped up the outright conference title Monday night, used an 8-0 run just before the break to establish some breathing room. But the Longhorns still managed to stay within 26-21 when Clint Chapman scoredon a put-back with 1.3 seconds left in the half.

Brown had hit a 3-pointer on the opening possession of the second half, briefly drawing Texas within two, when the complexion of the game changed suddenly.

The Jayhawks came down court and ran their offense to perfection, getting Robinson an open look under the basket. Just before he went up for an easy dunk, the Longhorns' Alexis Wangmene collapsed in a heap under the basket, clutching his left wrist and his face contorted in pain.

Wangmene told Brown that he thought he'd broken it as Texas trainers came to the floor. They eventually helped the senior forward to his feet and straight to the locker room.

Wangmene had held Robinson to seven points on 3-for-10 shooting in the first half.

Without him, the


Longhorns had no answer for the big guy inside.

"The defensive presence he brings was noticeably missed the rest of the game," Chapman said.

Robinson scored four straight baskets for Kansas later in the second half, on one of them bringing the ball up court and popping a jumper from the elbow for a 43-32 lead.

Brown did his best to shoot Texas back into the game, unfurling a silky 3-point shot whenever he got an open look, taking it off the dribble when he was closely guarded.

He simply didn't have any help.

The Longhorns wound up shooting 38 percent from the field and went 3 for 17 from beyond the 3-point line -- Sheldon McClellan was the only player other than Brown to hit from deep.

According to a BBC article, the common warning that swans can break a human limb with a blow from their wings is aTrump from day one of the presidential campaign. It is CIA director John Brennan, who did everything in his power to brand Trump some sort of Russian agent. It is FBI director Comey who did likewise by continuing to "investigate" what he knew was a non-event. We now have a former FBI director playing the role of special prosecutor investigating Trump for "obstruction of justice" when there is no evidence of a crime to be obstructed!The presstitutes not only interfered in the presidential election; they are now interfering with democracy itself.

The present invention relates generally to the art of electric motors and other electromechanical machines. More particularly, the invention relates to an improved electrostatic shield arrangement for use in an electromechanical machine.
The shaft of an AC induction motor or other electromechanical machine is often supported by bearing assemblies maintained in position by the machine housing. In one known construction, each bearing assembly is supported by a portion of the housing known as the xe2x80x9cend bell.xe2x80x9d As its name implies, the end bell is located at one axial end of the housing, and defines a hole through which the rotatable shaft freely extends.
During operation of an electric motor, capacitive coupling can often occur between the stator and rotor. Occasionally, the potential difference developed in this manner will exceed apresent only in 60% of the morning shifts and rarely responded to emergency calls in the evening and night shifts. Similarly, for the pediatric ward, although the consultant was mostly present (83%) in the morning shifts, response to emergency calls during the evening and night shifts was almost non-existent. The medical officer (trained in anesthesia) was present during 70% of the morning shifts and responded to only a small percentage of emergency calls in the evening and night shifts. The pathologist was present during all the morning shifts throughout the 30-day observation period but failed to respond to emergency requests during other shifts. The physicians in the emergency department, however, generally provided round-the-clock services as required.Fig. 1Pattern of availability of medical doctors in different shifts of a day


provider for pediatric services. In the DH, though a special arrangement was made to assign an additional pediatric consultant, no medical officer was assigned to support the existing specialists for inpatient services. Among the two pediatric consultants at the DH, one was engaged for inpatient services and the other for outdoor services. Thus round-the-clock availability of providers for pediatric services was at stake. Improved coordination among the existing providers is warranted to ensure round-the-clock pediatric services in the DH. For the MCWC, a new post of medical doctor for pediatric care is recommended.

Despite the support of the MaMoni project providing additional nurses in the ob/gyn and pediatric wards, both the DH and MCWC had additional requirements to ensure round- the-clock service availability. In the case of OT, sincewell as provision of training for personal development were important factors in attracting and retaining health workers \[[@CR16], [@CR17]\].

Other modalities to fill shortages of health care providers can be tried. For instance, India has focused on public-private partnerships to fill vacant posts by hiring health care workers from private sector. In the states of Karnataka and Arunachal Pradesh, the Government of India has authorized public facilities to contract with NGOs to provide services \[[@CR18]\]. In another state of India, Haryana, decentralized recruitment of specialist doctors has been tried as of location-specific recruitment in underserved areas of West Bengal \[[@CR18]\]. In Thailand, a rural recruitment system, training provided in rural health facilities, hometown placement, and performance-based agreements have been successfully used to increase retention of providers and improve the


In summer 2012, a labor struggle occurred at the Chinese electronics supplier Chung Hong in the special economic zone Kobierzyce near Wroclaw/Poland. Chung Hong produces mainboards for monitors and TVs of the South-Korean multinational corporation LG which has a factory in the same zone.

26 workers, members of Workers' Initiative from the Chung Hong were fired during a two-week strike action in June 2012. In December 2013 some of them won their case in the labor court – one worker was ordered to be reinstated and the other got a financial compensation for unfair disciplinary dismissal.

Chung Hong had claimed that the strike was illegal. After the lockout, the workers could not continue their activity in the factory, lost their wages, and the immediate unemployment benefit. Neither the welfare office30, 2013, Krzysztof Gazda was reinstated by Chung-Hong. He is the Workers' Initiative activist who was fired just before the strike, and his dismissal had sparked the strike. The court also ordered the employer to pay compensation for the whole period he was unemployed (about 600 Euros per month since June 2012).

The court stated what we all knew, and what the boss tried to hide, that Krzysztof was fired for his activity and preparation of the strike.

In his final speech in the court Krzysztof said that if he loses, that would have been a hardship not only to him, but to others who fight and strive for workers' self-organization and better living and working conditions. In Poland all those workers often face the same situaton he had to


Essentially, "proper part" corresponds to the set of all those things we usually associate with parthood, whereas "part" corresponds to the set of all proper parts plus the entity itself included. In other words, where the toe is considered a "part" and a "proper part" of the foot, the foot is considered simply a "part" of itself. In LinKBase®, this notion of parthood is captured by the concept "structure," both the toe and the foot itself are subsumed by the concept "foot structures." This configuration is then mapped to the SNOMEDRT® ontology, where "foot structure" (any part of the foot including the foot itself) is related to "amputation of foot structure", which subsumes two further concepts "complete amputation of foot" and "partial amputation of foot". Here the SNOMED-RT®When University of Maryland student Rebecca Martinson's insane email to her Delta Gamma sorority sisters leaked on the Internet, her expletive-ridden rant was just begging to be interpreted by an actor that can pull off the gravitas worthy of the commanding language she used.

(NEWS10) – The University at Albany president broke his silence after video from inside a CDTA bus was released on Thursday.

Three, black UAlbany students claimed they were the victims of a racial attack on a CDTA bus on January 30. However, security video from inside the bus shows a different story, and now the self-proclaimed victims are facing charges.

University at Albany President Robert Jones held a “round table discussion” with media on Friday. He said he stands by all the statements he made after the initial allegations of an attack were made.

UAlbany students said they are happy the truth is finally coming out after the video was released.

Russell Norowitz said he was on the CDTA bus when the alleged fight broke out. He can be seen


on the surveillance footage from inside the bus.

Norowitz said it was pretty clear what happened.

“I was sitting in the back of the bus and what happened was a confrontation began between two groups of people,” he said. “Asha Burwell and her friends stood up and actually started the physical altercation.”

Norowitz said he was frustrated with Jones’s original statement about the incident, which he said singled out the three women as the victims.

“The best move for the president would have been to wait until the investigation had proceeded a little bit and things were a little bit clearer before jumping to a statement,” he said.

Jones made another statement on Friday. He said he feels compassion for anyone who was affected by the incident.

As it is possible for a ministerial servant to perform pastoral activities, he could be considered a “pastoral care worker”. In the Kingdom Ministry School 2018, ministerial servants are taught how to teach by means of public talks. As they teach other members of the congregation, it is not difficult to argue that a ministerial servant is also a member of the clergy.

Greeted on the stage to loud cheers, Sting, 65, paid tribute to those who were killed in the venue and called for the audience to stage a minute’s silence in their honour.

Speaking in French, the musician said: “We've got two important things to do tonight. First, to remember and honour those who lost their lives in the attacks a year ago, and to celebrate the life and the music of this historic venue.

"So before we begin, I would like to ask

Two teams in the Freedom Farm Baseball League batted in another historic feat, sweeping the 23rd Annual Metropolitan Junior Baseball League (MJBL) Inner City Classic and Black World Series.

The Freedom Farm All-stars and the Freedom Farm Rookies went head-to-head for the championship title in the 7-8 coach pitch division. The All-stars were the victors with a 12-4 win over the Rookies, at the tournament, which was held in Richmond, Virginia, July 27-31. The most valuable player (MVP) trophy was awarded to Frankey Moore, a first time national team member. Dion Munroe and Ralph Burrows coached the All-stars squad.

Moore said: “It feels good winning


and playing in Virginia. I was excited when they called me for my trophy. I would like to thank my father, who is also my coach, for helping me and my teammates. We had fun playing against the other teams from the USA.”

The All-stars closed the tournament with a perfect win/loss record, 5-0. The Rookies picked up two losses, all at the hands of the All-stars. Other teams competing in the division were Piper Davis, Westover Warriors and the Richmond MJBL All-stars. The Piper Davis team finished third, followed by the Warriors and the MJBL All-stars.

The All-stars opened up against the Warriors on Saturday, July 27, defeating that squad 14-0. Their second shutout victory came over the MBLJ All-stars 15-0, on Monday, July 29. On Tuesday, the teamit wasn't long before he started waking up with a scratchy throat. His wife, Melody, woke up with bloody noses. The couple, who had lost their home in Bay St. Louis, Miss., during the Gulf Coast hurricanes, said they asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for a new trailer. But they were refused. On Thursday, FEMA admitted what the Stewarts and thousands of other displaced Gulf Coast residents have feared all along: their government-issued trailers were toxic. The revelation came after months of congressional hearings and allegations by whistle-blowers that FEMA suppressed evidence of formaldehyde fumes. David Paulison, FEMA's director, said the agency will act immediately to move out more than 38,000 families still living in trailers because of Gulf Coast hurricanes. Tests show dangerous levels of


formaldehyde in hundreds of the trailers, according to FEMA. At a New Orleans news conference, Paulison said officials were "moving as fast as we can" to move the most vulnerable trailer residents to alternative housing, including hotels and motels. Tests of 519 trailer and mobile homes in Louisiana and Mississippi revealed that a third had unacceptably high levels of formaldehyde for children, the elderly and people with respiratory problems, said Julie Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). She said 5% of trailers registered fumes so toxic that even healthy adults would suffer respiratory symptoms if exposed for long periods of time. The revelations come nearly two years after early tests showed high levels of the toxic gas in trailers and a month after"been very aggressively moving people out of travel trailers" and noted that 15,000 families had been moved since November and that 800 to 1,000 are moved out each week. "We do care about the people. We are moving as fast as we can," he said. He said FEMA would never again use trailers to house hurricane and other disaster victims. Mobile homes, which are designed for long-term use, would be used instead, he said. Andrea Stone reported from McLean, Va.

Up close, Christodoulos Xiros does not come across as a menacing man – in many ways he still resembles the soft-spoken craftsman he once was. But this weekend, barely three weeks after absconding from the high-security Korydallos prison in Athens, the dark-eyed 56-year-old, a key member of the defunct 17 November terror group, has struck fear into the hearts of many across crisis-hit Greece.

In the space of five days, panic-stricken authorities have launched the biggest manhunt in modern times, placed a €4m bounty on his head – dead or alive – and thrown a security cordon around the capital not seen since the 2004 Olympics.

On Friday, as European justice ministers gathered in the country that currently holds the EU's rotating presidency, there were sharpshooters on the roofs, sniffera government already dealing with a society at boiling point and an economy still ravaged by recession and debt almost four years after first being bailed out.

Bakoyannis – whose first husband, a conservative MP, was gunned down by the 17 November organisation in 1989 – was convinced, along with most Greek officials, that the scourge of terrorism had been eradicated with the disbandment of the guerrilla gang in 2002.

Xiros, who was serving six life sentences for a string of deadly attacks and bombings, was among the 15 convicted members of 17 November whose incarceration was meant to have ended the activities of an organisation that, long before the appearance of al-Qaida, was at the top of America's most wanted list.

Over a period of 27 years, the seemingly impregnable


Marxist-Leninist group killed 23 people, including CIA station chief Richard Welch, its first victim, and British defence attache Brigadier Stephen Saunders, assassinated as he drove to work in June 2000.

In the commotion that followed Xiros's escape, Alexandros Giotopoulos, the French-born academic believed to have founded the gang, and Dimitris Koufondinas, its chief hitman, have declared, in letters written from prison, that "17 November is dead". But while security officials agree – pointing out that Greeks' tolerance for its crusade against capitalist culture and its crude anti-Americanism has long since evaporated – fears abound that the country's austerity-ravaged society and fragile political climate provide fertile ground for a resurgence of political violence.

Anger in Washington has added to the pressure on prime minister Antonis Samaras's shaky government to capture Xiros.The US State Department still regards 17 November as a terrorist organisation.

Western diplomats worry that Xiros will try to forge a leading role among a new generation of guerrillas linked to a criminal underworld that is thought to be well-armed and careless about who gets killed. During his 11-year stint in prison he is known to have fraternised with members of the militant group Conspiracy of the Cells of Fire, best-known for the parcel bombs it dispatched to the offices of EU leaders, including that of the German chancellor Angela Merkel, at the onset of the Greek crisis.

In his video message, Xiros issued a rallying cry for anarchists and leftists to unite in revolt against the "scum" who had brought Greece to the brink of ruin. "What is


dangerous about him is that he has a hyper-acute sense of justice and a pathological sense of responsibility," said the former US diplomat Brady Kiesling, who has been studying Greek far-left violence for a forthcoming book. "And that is what makes a terrorist."

In the aftermath of his disappearance, speculation was rife that Xiros, the son of a fundamentalist Orthodox priest, had decided to abscond because he had fallen in love with a woman he met on a previous release from prison. But as police swooped on homes in Athens, rounding up and arresting figures on the anti-establishment left, rumour was also rife that a terrorist attack was imminent.

"Although we do not know the circumstances under which it was made, for a large part of the revolutionary community hedisgraced himself by signing a police confession that he belonged to 17 November," said Kiesling. "I think he is now desperately trying to place himself in a noble position for a handful of people he cares about."

Xiros's ability to elude the authorities has inevitably also focused attention on a Greek state apparatus that has all but collapsed. Anti-terrorist units, like the judiciary, police, prison officers and politicians, have been sapped of morale by the country's ongoing crisis.

He is the second convicted terrorist to go underground: Nikos Maziotis – the leader of another disbanded guerilla group, Revolutionary Struggle – absconded on a similar leave of absence from prison last year. Maziotis was believed to be behind a shooting attack on the official residence of the German ambassador to Athens


in December. The Greek justice minister announced on Friday that the authorities would re-examine the release rights of those serving time for terrorism offences. "They should never have been given such permits," the minister said.

Until now prisoners, including most of 17 November, have been granted temporary release after serving eight years of their sentences. Xiros, to the dismay of authorities in Washington, has secured several such exits since 2011.

"Last year, he was the guest of honour when he came to baptise the kid of the guy who now rents his workspace," Ilias Leriadis, the deputy mayor on the island of Ikaria, Xiros's ancestral home, told the Observer. "This is a traditionally leftist island, and although we don't support his call for arms, and leftwing parties have strongly opposedCourtship dances in the flies of the genus Lispe (Diptera: Muscidae): from the fly's viewpoint.
Two predatory fly species, Lispe consanguinea Loew, 1858 and L. tentaculata DeGeer, 1776, inhabit the supralittoral zone at the shore of a fresh-water reservoir. Both species look alike and possess similar "badges," reflective concave silvery scales on the face. Flies occupy different lek habitats. Males of the first species patrol the bare wet sand on the beach just above the surf. Males of the second species reside on the more textured heaps of algae and stones.

2009, N 25, 30 §3 obs. Caron - here in French). His claim was rejected as the Court assimilated his input to 'being oneself' in front of the camera not performing.

Employment rights: yes...but not always!

The claimants of the 2013 Temptation Island case may have lost their battle on the grounds of performers' rights but, in the same decision, they managed to secure the status of employee for their participation in the show. Indeed, the Court of Cassation confirmed the contract tying the participants to the production company were to be classed as contracts of employment, triggeringemployment law protection. The production company meticulously controlled and regulated the activities of participant throughout the shoot to the extent that the Court could establish a relationship of subordination - a key feature of the employer-employee relationship under French law. On this point, the 2013 decision of the court reads: "A relationship of subordination existed between the production crew members and the participants, it was materialized in the "Bible" [nickname of the brief], which detailed the scheduling the activities of each day and the progress of compulsory filming sessions, in the careful rehearsals of scenes, in the direction of interviews which lead the interviewee to say what was expected by the production". In the same decision, the Court also refers to the fact that the production company controlled


what participants wore, decided their daily working hours, enforced financial sanctions in cases of early departure from the set, and held their passports and phones.

However, the 2013 decision is not be interpreted as a blanket statement according to which all Reality TV participants were employees under French law. Not all show configurations or production companies are as controlling as the one described in the Temptation Island case. This is precisely what the Court of Cassation reminded us in their decision dated 7 June 2017 (Court of Cassation, Soc. Ch., 8 June 2017, No 16-15171 - here in French).

The Fiasson family in 'Families of Explorers', claimants in the 2017 case

The 2017 case concerned a so-called Reality TV game show titled Families of Explorers. The 'game' had five families competeagainst each other to win various money prizes throughout the competition. The families were sent to the Simson desert in Australia where they faced various physical challenges and 'survival' tasks. The claimant in the case ultimately lost the game, and the 150,000 euro prize went to one of their opponents. The claimant subsequently brought a case against the production company to seek remuneration as employees for their participation in the show. In first and last instance, the Courts rejected the explorers' claim. In the opinion of the court, the 'rules' of the game could not be portrayed as the basis for a relationship of subordination as in the Temptation Island case. The claimants' contractual commitment to the production company outlined clearly four different aspects: the rules of the

The BRICS group of emerging powers will launch its own development bank at a summit next week, using its growing influence to establish a counterweight to Western-dominated financial organizations.

Fresh from the World Cup final, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff hosts the leaders of Russia, India, China and South Africa in Fortaleza on Tuesday before an unprecedented meeting with South American leaders the next day in Brasilia.

On the diplomatic front, the summit will mark the first face-to-face meeting between India’s new Hindu nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Chinese President Xi Jiping.

For Russian President Vladimir Putin, who traveled to Cuba this week, the trip comes amid newly frayed relations with the West over the crisis in Ukraine.

"In Texas alone, about 30 communities could run out of water by the end of the year," the report says, citing data from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The towns had already been suffering from droughts for the past three years, with many industries to blame for wasting what water was left. But the large amount of water used in fracking each well has put yet more pressure on dwindling water resources.

Ichiro's scramble to the plate 0:54

10/8/12: Ichiro Suzuki eludes the tag at the dish as he scores on Robinson Cano's line-drive double in the first inning

By Gregor Chisholm
/
MLB.com |

BALTIMORE -- Ichiro Suzuki has always treated baseball as a thinking man's game, so it should come as no surprise that his mind went into overdrive during Game 2 of the American League Division Series on Monday night against the Orioles.

Ichiro appeared as though he would be dead-on-arrival while trying to score all the way from first base during the first inning of an eventual 3-2 loss, but instead a spry baserunning move provided an early must-see highlight from this year's postseason.

The 12-year veteran


the leather strap [of the catcher's mitt] clipped the button or something."

The play drew some comparisons to Atlanta's Greg Maddux, who did some historic shuffling of his own against the Pirates on May 5, 1993. Maddux was attempting to score from second when he hopped over catcher Don Slaught, then managed to side-step a tag before also sneaking his hand back into home plate.

It was a play that Yankees manager Joe Girardi thought of immediately when Ichiro came through with his clutch performance.

"I recall Greg Maddux doing that one time," Girardi said. "That was a little while ago, but it's quite a slide by Ichiro and it turned out to be a big run."challenged beyond anything they have experienced before.

enterpeneurial culture allows some people to become as rich as former Prime Minister Tony Blair or former Business Secretary Lord Mandelson, then that is an expected outcome in a society where income is perceived as belonging in the first instance to the earner, with the state having the general right to levy taxes.

According to the biblical principle that the rich are the God-appointed stewards of the wealth they have earned, the likes of Mr Blair and Lord Mandelson should be perceived as having a spiritual and moral responsibility to reflect the character of the God to whom they are answerable in compassion and generosity. They should not be forced to reflect the divine nature; they should voluntarily choose to.

In the UK currently, there is an urgent moral imperativeDetective: No clues in national hunt for Rilya

Geralyn Graham accused of killing Rilya Wilson

A nationwide dragnet launched in 2002 for a missing Florida foster child turned up no trace and also nothing to back up her caretaker's claims that a state worker had taken the girl for mental tests months earlier, a police detective testified Tuesday in the caretaker's murder trial.

"Every lead, every information that I was provided came to a dead end. Nothing panned out," said Det. Giancarlo Milito of the Miami-Dade Police Department. "All rocks were turned."

The investigation began as a missing persons case once the Department of Children and Families discovered in April 2002 that 4-year-old Rilya Wilson had been missing for some 15 months. Her caretaker, 66-year-old Geralyn Graham, told Milito that an unknown


DCF worker had taken Rilya for psychological testing and never returned the girl.

"She did not know who she gave the child to," said former Miami-Dade Police Det. William Clifford, who administered a polygraph test to Graham, which she failed. "When I asked about the condition of the child, she told me the child had welts on the legs from where she whipped the child with a switch."

"Very cooperative. Very cordial. Very polite," said Milito. "No distress whatsoever. No question as far as 'Where's Rilya?' Do you know where Rilya is?'"

Milito said Graham was precise about the date — Jan. 18, 2001 — and that the supposed worker was a dark-skinned black woman who was unusually tall, somewhere around 6 feet, and spoke with an unspecified accent. Graham saidmatches for Rilya's name in various databases and sources. Part of Graham's defense is the suggestion that without a body, Rilya might be alive somewhere under another name.

"If it's not that name, it's going to be a problem?" Sakin asked.

"Potentially, yes." Milito replied.

Graham and her companion, Pamela Graham, were also caretakers of Rilya's younger sister Rodericka. The director of a day care center that Rodericka attended, Mary Rosado, testified earlier Tuesday that she never heard about Rilya's existence from Graham until the month she was discovered missing.

"She told me she had, Rodericka had a sister, a sibling, and her name was Rilya Wilson," said Mary Teresa Rosado, the director at the day care where Wilson's younger sister, Rodericka, went. "She would tell me that Rilya had really bad


habits. It was hard for her to adjust to those."

Rosado, however, said that Graham told her a male DCF worker had picked up Rilya for the mental tests, not the tall female with an accent. Rosado said she asked Graham, "Did you call to find out about her? Where did they take her?"

"She said, 'They'll bring her back when they're ready," Rosado testified. "She didn't know who she gave the child to. She said she never asked for identification."

She added that Graham called her from New York before she went on a talk show.

"Did she explain why she had to go on television to talk about Rilya?" asked prosecutor Sally Weintraub.

Last Thursday, Evgeni Malkin was the NHL's 'First Star' for the month of January. If the first week of February is any indication, he appears poised to make a run at the honor again.

Technically, Malkin's high-scoring week began in the waning days of January, when he tallied his 12th career hat trick in a 5-2 defeat of the San Jose Sharks on Jan. 30 at PPG Paints Arena. He had the game-winning goal that night, his seventh such marker of the season, which tied him for second-most in the NHL.

Three nights later, Malkin keyed


a huge 7-4 defeat of the Metropolitan Division rival Washington Capitals by scoring twice and adding a pair of assists. Those tallies gave Malkin multiple goals in three-consecutive games, allowing him to join Sidney Crosby and Jaromir Jagr as the only Pens in the past 25 years so accomplish that feat. Malkin scored the Penguins' only goal the next evening on the road during a 3-1 setback in New Jersey. That tally ran Malkin's goal-scoring streak to a season-high four games (8 goals total).

Malkin's scoring spree, which began in December, has resulted in him scoring 22 goals in 28 games during that span, most in the NHL. For the season, Malkin has 29 goals, second-most in the entire NHL, three behind league-leader Alex Ovechkin of the Capitals. Malkinhas scored 13 of those goals on the power play, tying him with Winnipeg's Patrik Laine for the lead in that category.

Last month, Malkin led the NHL with 12 goals in 12 games, and his 19 points were second-most behind Crosby (21). Those numbers earned Malkin NHL 'First Star' honors. For the season, Malkin has 29 goals, 31 assists and 60 points in 50 games. That ties him for fourth in the NHL scoring race, six behind countryman Nikita Kucherov for the top spot.

The Penguins currently have three of the top-eight scorers in the NHL. Phil Kessel is second overall with 63 points, three behind Kucherov. Malkin sits in fourth place; and Crosby is tied for eighth with 58 points (17G-41A).


Taurasi Still Maradona Of Women’s Game

Diana Taurasi is a keen football fan, courtesy of her Argentinean roots

When fibaeurope.com correspondent Paul Nilsen met up with UMMC star Diana Taurasi, she found out her all-time idol had made him cry for a fortnight during the 1980's.

Yes, there's only one place to start when you sit down with anyone of Argentinian heritage and that's to talk about football and a certain Diego Armando Maradona.

Taurasi met the soccer legend at the Olympic Games in Beijing and several years later, the very mention of his name is still guaranteed to bring the broadest of approving smiles to her face.

"Oh yeah, he's still my idol and the man we all look up to in Argentina," said the guard.

"He remains our biggest icon and he'sone of the greatest sports figures of all-time.

"I'm an absolute die-hard soccer fan and you'll find me following the sport as close as I would ever do with what's happening in the NBA for example.

"Those two times when Argentina won the World Cup were incredible and the last one from 1986 is especially stuck in the memory - as well as looking back on the footage from 1978 too.

"Those are very special moments for me."

By scoring a wonder goal and another via an illegal handball when he controversially punched the ball into the net to eliminate England en-route to the top of the podium, Maradona had left me distraught as an eleven-year-old.

I then explained to Taurasi how I hadn't been able to accept the now infamous handball goal,


something he later described as being ‘The hand of God'.

And, whilst briefly sympathetic, she couldn't help her passion for all things Argentinian rising back to the fore.

"That first was probably the greatest goal of all-time," she said with real purpose.

"And, that goal from ‘God' was probably the second best of all-time - well at least if you ask an Argentinian," she joked, perhaps trying to erase my childhood pain with a light-hearted moment.

But what would actually mean more to Taurasi, hitting a winning shot in a Championship basketball game, or scoring the winning goal in a World Cup Final?

She declared, "I don't actually know which would be bigger to tell the truth, because the World Cup just takes on a different level of meaning altogether for me."Pres. Trump on the late Sen.

LIMA, Ohio (WPVI) -- Carrying a bitter personal feud beyond the grave, President Donald Trump escalated his attacks on the late Sen. John McCain, declaring he will "never" be a fan of the Vietnam War hero and longtime Republican lawmaker who died last year of brain cancer."I was never a fan of John McCain, and I never will be," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office."I gave him the kind of funeral that he wanted, which as president I had to approve. I


don't care about this. I didn't get thank you. That's ok," Trump told workers at a tank factory in Ohio on Wednesday.The fresh vitriol followed Trump's weekend tweets insulting the 2008 Republican presidential candidate, with whom he long had a fractious relationship. He repeated some of those attacks, complaining about McCain's vote against repealing President Barack Obama's health care law."He campaigned on repealing and replacing Obamacare for years and then it got to a vote and he said thumbs down," Trump said, adding - without citing evidence - that the repeal would have "saved a trillion dollars."Over the weekend, Trump attacked McCain on Twitter. Among his barbs was that the longtime Arizona senator had been "last in his class" at the U.S. Naval Academy. But while McCain famouslyracked up demerits and earned poor grades, he ultimately graduated fifth from the bottom of his 1958 class.Those attacks drew retaliatory fire from McCain's daughter, Meghan McCain."He spends his weekend obsessing over great men because he knows it and I know it and all of you know it - he will never be a great man," said Meghan McCain, on ABC's "The View," which she co-hosts.Trump targeted McCain during his presidential campaign, saying in 2015 that the former prisoner-of-war was not a hero, "because he was captured." Trump received a series of deferments to avoid serving in Vietnam, including one attained with a physician's letter stating that he suffered from bone spurs in his feet.

High Number of Scouts Following the Penguins

There has been a lot of NHL scouts in the press box during the last two Pittsburgh Penguins games. The usual smattering of scouts was present at the Penguins first two home games. There are a couple of local and regional scouts who typically show up. But the last two games have seen a big turnout.

Previously unreported, following the injury to defenseman Justin Schultz, there were nine scouts in the Penguins pressbox last Tuesday, when the Penguins played Vancouver. Despite reported comments from Penguins General Manager Jim Rutherford indicating the Penguins would deal with their defensive issues “in-house”, that doesn’t necessarily stop the vultures from circling.

No need to gussy up for a trip to McCoy's Public House, where patronsLeon Brittan, a former Home Secretary and once Margaret Thatcher’s protégé, has now been named as a suspect in the Westminster pedophile ring. [1] Since his death in January, an influx of concerns have surfaced about the politician who once had files in his possession containing the names of some of Britain’s elite in a pedophile ring. It has since disappeared, after it was handed by him to the authorities.

Lord Brittan, who was appointed Home Secretary in 1983 as the youngest holder of the title since Winston Churchill, always denied the allegations. At the time of his death, investigations over allegations that he had raped a woman when he was a young man were being conducted, as well as investigations claiming he’d intentionally covered up a dossier that


had contained the names of other VIPs, including other politicians. The files were reportedly handed to MP Geoffrey Dickens who in the same year, had accused Brittan of being a pedophile, and were subsequently lost from the Home Office.

Amidst the swirl of allegations, Thatcher has been accused of concealing Sir Peter Hayman’s involvement in the ring as well. Ordering officials not to name the senior diplomat in relation to the pedophile ring, she later re-employed him to lead her political campaigns in the 1990’s. As early as 1978, Hayman was under police investigation after obscene materials were found in a parcel on a London bus. Other pornographic materials were later found at his London address, and connections to the Pedophile Information Exchange were investigated. This confirmed Sir Peter2012: Sir Jimmy Savile is linked to the pedophile ring after his death. The case is gaining momentum. Dozens of victims emerge with details of abuse.

October 2012: Labour MP Tom Watson acknowledges the links between a pedophile network and parliament.

November/December 2012 – February 2013: Investigations begin to take serious turns, with Scotland Yard formally setting up Operation Fairbank to investigate the Elm Guest House where a majority of abuse was taken place against young children by prominent politicians and entertainment personalities.

2013 – 2014: Several prominent names are investigated and listed as alleged paedophiles, with Brittan also being investigated for rape.

2014 – 2015: Thatcher under scrutiny for a government cover-up involving politicians and the pedophile ring.

resided in an apartment complex in Las Vegas, Nevada, was placed under surveillance by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  Appellant's landlady, Mrs. Caldwell, was advised of this surveillance.  On October 12, 1963, appellant deposited an unlocked briefcase with Mrs. Caldwell and left it in her dining room closet, instructing her not to give it to anyone else.  It appears that appellant had, on several previous occasions, used Mrs. Caldwell's apartment as a place of storage.  Mrs. Caldwell promptly called the Federal Bureau of Investigation and during the ensuing telephone conversation she, at the request of an agent, opened the briefcase and informed the agent that it contained packaged Traveler's Checks.  On October 14, two special agents went to Mrs. Caldwell's apartment and, after(9th Cir. 1962) cannot, as argued by appellant, be distinguished from the instant case on the ground that here the briefcase was given up to the authorities after they had initiated contact with the person who possessed it, whereas in Sartain there had been no such contact.  There is nothing in this record to support the suggested inference that Mrs. Caldwell was in any way coerced by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  Rather, we think it clear that she was merely acting as any responsible citizen should in her position.  After all, Mrs. Caldwell had no reason to become involved in the crime by allowing her apartment and herself to be used as a hiding place for the stolen Traveler's Checks.  Since she was


Tires are known to be susceptible to becoming damaged. Such damage may occur when a tire encounters road debris, such as nails, glass, and stone, and during tire mounting and dismounting. Damage may also form a defect in the tire. Damage may occur on the inside or outside of the tire, or may penetrate the tire, such as a puncture or laceration. Further, the damage may occur along the tread area, the sidewalls, or the shoulders, which is the area between the tread area and a sidewall. A damaged tire portion generally refers to a portion of the tire needing repair, where the need may arise for any reason.
When repairing the damaged area of a tire, a patch is commonly used to cover and seal the damaged area.Fears of genocide in the volatile Central African Republic (CAR) have flipped focus from Christians being victimized to Muslims being victimized. Yet Christian and Muslim leaders are still trying to persuade the world that the current crisis is not sectarian at heart.

After I failed to allot enough time on my DVR to record the entirety of Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic's
five-set semifinal match
at the Australian Open on Thursday evening (Friday, Australian time), I was determined not to make the same mistake with the men's final between
Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. ESPN2's overnight coverage was scheduled for three and a half hours, and I extended this by another three—the maximum
possible on my system for one program. Six and a half hours should do it, I thought, even assuming the match wouldn't start until a half hour or so
into the broadcast.

Silly me. I woke up Sunday morning and watched the match through to the agonizing fifth set, when, after an exchange of breaks, Djokovic finally
managed to take the lead, 6-5, with achance to serve for the title. Then my recording cut off, one game short, it turned out, of the denouement--yet
another Djokovic victory against Nadal in a championship
match, and the third consecutive in a Grand Slam final.

The two men played for five hours and fifty-three minutes, a record length of time for a Grand Slam final. But considering that in 2009 they played a
three-set match on clay that lasted four hours, it's hard to be shocked that once they
finally did play a five-setter, it would approximate the length of a trans-Atlantic flight. On Sunday, the first set took an hour and 20 minutes, on
pace for a nearly seven-hour encounter. Given their eleven-hour match at Wimbledon in 2010, John
Isner and Nicholas Mahut may not have been particularly impressed, but at


least they had the luxury of playing on grass, which is easier on the
players' bodies. Nadal and Djokovic, playing a grueling series of matches in the last couple of years on hard courts, have likely shortened each
other's careers.

MORE ON SPORTS

Still, a note of skepticism may be in order: Though yesterday's final will deserve its place as a historic match of two players in their prime, it's
not because of the sheer time it takes them to play. Both Nadal and Djokovic are
notoriously slow players
—between points, that is. Both men often take longer than the allotted 30 seconds between points, a habit that has often irked Roger Federer, who likes
to play quickly and smother his opponents rather than engage in a prolonged dogfight where endurance and mental stamina become paramount.Of course,
what Andy Murray called the "brutal" nature of
some of today's tennis rallies means that the 30-second rule should not be enforced too literally at the wrong moment, especially in a final. It's hard
to imagine umpire Pascal Maria penalizing Djokovic when, after losing a 31-shot rally in the fifth set, he fell to the ground and began huffing and puffing like a
drowning man.

Stephen Tignor, of Tennis magazine, wittily described Djokovic as
the Benjamin Button of tennis, since he often begins matches in a state of seeming exhaustion and decrepitude before looking fresh as a daisy four
hours later. There is undoubtedly an element of melodrama, showmanship, and gamesmanship in Djokovic's displays, and before he became the invincible
player he appears to be today, the same habit got him into trouble with


other players and with fans. Now that he does the same thing and wins, it can
make him seem charming and heroic, battling his partly real, partly feigned bodily weakness to overcome all opponents, even the implacable Nadal, whom
he has now beaten in seven consecutive finals.

This "brutal" tennis, with long rallies and hence long breaks between points, may be here to stay. The hard courts of the Australian Open and the US
Open are not fast surfaces, and other tournaments, partly in reaction to improved racquet technology, have in recent years slowed down their courts and
begun using heavier balls, thus making it harder to hit someone off the court. Such conditions, which work against an aggressive player like Federer,
are ideal for Djokovic and Andy Murray, who both play incredible defenselifts. Among other things, they say, their work could lead to the kind of robotic exoskeletons imagined in the movie Aliens.

at the year 1977.

In the media world, as in so many other realms, there is a sharp discontinuity in the timeline: before the 2016 election, and after.

Things we thought we understood—narratives, data, software, news events—have had to be reinterpreted in light of Donald Trump’s surprising win as well as the continuing questions about the role that misinformation and disinformation played in his election.

Tech journalists covering Facebook had a duty to cover what was happening before, during, and after the election. Reporters tried to see past their often liberal political orientations and the unprecedented actions of Donald Trump to see how 2016 was playing out on the internet. Every component of the chaotic digital campaign has been reported on, here at The Atlantic, and elsewhere: Facebook’s enormous distribution powerbeen normalized in an industry dominated by powerful men.

A driver, a transportation official, and a transit advocate explain why Seattle recently saw one of the biggest citywide increases in passenger numbers.

Almost every major U.S. city has seen years of decline in bus ridership, but Seattle has been the exception in recent years. Between 2010 and 2014, Seattle experienced the biggest jump of any major U.S. city. At its peak in 2015, around 78,000 people, or about one in five Seattle workers, rode the bus to work.

That trend has cooled slightly since then, but Seattle continues to see increased overall transit ridership, bucking the national trend of decline. In 2016, Seattle saw transit ridership increase by 4.1 percent—only Houston and Milwaukee saw even half that increase in the same


year.

Bus service is crucial to reducing emissions in the Seattle region. According to King County Metro, which serves the region, nearly half of all greenhouse gas emissions in Washington state come from transportation and its operation displaces roughly four times as many emissions as it generates, by taking cars off the road and reducing traffic congestion. The public transit authority has been recognized for its commitment to sustainability and its bus fleet is projected to be 100 percent hybrid or electric by 2018.

The president managed to cause a brief firestorm by falsely accusing predecessors of neglecting slain soldiers, but real answers about why four men were killed are still elusive.

On October 4, four American Special Forces soldiers were killed during an operation in Niger. Since then, the WhiteHouse has been notably tight-lipped about the incident. During a press conference Monday afternoon, 12 days after the deaths, President Trump finally made his first public comments, but the remarks—in which he admitted he had not yet spoken with the families and briefly attacked Barack Obama—did little to clarify what happened or why the soldiers were in Niger.

Trump spoke at the White House after a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and was asked why he hadn’t spoken about deaths of Sergeant La David Johnson and Staff Sergeants Bryan Black, Dustin Wright, and Jeremiah Johnson.

Shiv Sena members celebrate after party candidate Trupti Sawant won the by-election to the Bandra (East) assembly constituency

BJP allies, the Shiv Sena and the Akali Dal, brought good news home today, winning important by-elections to the Maharashtra and Punjab assemblies respectively.

The Shiv Sena has retained the high-profile Bandra (East) constituency in Mumbai in what became a prestige battle with the Congress fielding former chief minister and former Sena man Narayan Rane.

Trupti Sawant, the wife of legislator Prakash Sawant whose death necessitated the by-election, has won the seat by over 19,000 votes. It is a big blow for Mr Rane for whom this had also turned into a fight for political survival after a defeat from his home turf of Sindhudurg in coastal Konkan in the assembly elections lastcandidate fielded by the Congress and Sanjha Morcha. The victory has ensured that the Akali Dal now has 59 seats in the 117-member Punjab assembly, one more than the half-way mark on its own. The BJP has 12, the Congress 43.Both the Shiv Sena and the Akali Dal partner the ruling BJP at the Centre and also in their respective states, where their alliances are in power. The Shiv Sena, however, ceded its position as senior partner in Maharashtra to the BJP by winning fewer seats in national elections held last year and also in the assembly elections some months later.


Romans even had their own version of aperitif known as gustatio, consisting of a selection of appetizers accompanied by mulsum, a honey-sweetened wine very popular at the time.

But the dinner didn’t end with gustatio, and neither did the wine toasts: faced with the problem of recovering from overdrinking, our ancient friends found their own answer to the timeless question “how do I cure this hangover?”; according to Roman philosopher Pliny the elder, eating a fried canary or raw owl’s eggs was the best cure!

Women, wine, and alcohol tests

Livia, the wife of the first Roman emperor Augustus, was said to have reached a very old age thanks to her favourite wine, the Pucinum.

By the beginning of the Empire, it had become common for women to drink wine: however, inwines gained ground to become extremely famous during the golden age of Roman winemaking.

The most highly prized at the time were Falernian and Caecuban wine, both produced in the Center-South of Italy: Caecuban wine was considered by many the best of all wines, and it was chosen to celebrate the defeat of Antony and Cleopatra.

Do the wines of the Romans still exist?

It was estimated that at the peak of its wine production Rome was consuming the equivalent of a bottle of wine per citizen every day.

For the Romans, wine was not a luxury, but a daily necessity, and as they expanded throughout Europe they brought their knowledge of viticulture and love for winemaking with them: some of the regions where they first planted vineyards have become today’s most


installed on part of the condominium building as recommended by Pegasus. Pegasus hired Mark Hruby doing business as Rube's Rain Gutter Service (Hruby), an unlicensed contractor that was also uninsured for workers' compensation. The job contemplated was no more than two days and the cost was $1050.
Hruby hired Freddy Aguilera to perform some of the work at $65 a day. On November 5, 1997, the first day of the job, a rain gutter contacted a high voltage electrical wire and Aguilera was severely shocked and fell and was seriously injured. Hruby completed the job and was paid by check.
Aguilera filed for workers' compensation naming Hruby as the employer, and the Uninsured Employers Benefits Trust Fund (Fund),[2] Pegasus, the Association and the individual condominium owners (owners) were joined asfurther provides that Pegasus was an independent contractor in the business of managing properties, which is undisputed.
Nevertheless, there is no evidence that the Association or owners received bids, instructed Pegasus who to hire or had any direct involvement with Hruby. In addition, Hruby testified at trial that he agreed to install rain gutters on the condominium building with Pegasus, and did not recall contact with the owners or whose check paid for the job. These facts confirm that the agreement for installation of the rain gutters was between Hruby and Pegasus, which was an independent contractor in the business of managing properties that was acting on behalf of the Association. Therefore, the WCAB's determination that Hruby was hired by Pegasus is supported by substantial evidence. Since Hruby was


It's only mid-February, and already the world's best parent contest for 2012 appears all sewn up by a Japanese woman who spent a month building her 4-year-old son the ultimate video game station -- a cardboard replica of the 2012 Red Bull Formula 1 race car, accurate from the tail wings to the logos on the step nose.

As she describes in her blog, the woman -- a dedicated fan of Red Bull and F1 champ Sebastian Vettel -- says the project may still require tweaking, and she's not particularly happy with how the new nose came out. Working from a frame built before the RB8 was revealed, she finished the car based on photos and videos from the car's official introduction earlier this month. In addition to itsBack in 1992 the Pentagons Joint Chiefs of Staff held a "Strategy Essay Competition."

The winner was a National War College student paper entitled, "The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012." Authored by Colonel Charles J. Dunlap, Jr. the paper is a well documented, "darkly imagined excursion into the future." The ostensibly fictional work is written from the perspective of an imprisoned senior military officer about to be executed for opposing the military takeover of America, a coup accomplished through "legal" means. The essay makes the point that the coup was "the outgrowth of trends visible as far back as 1992," including "the massive diversion of military forces to civilian uses," particularly law enforcement.

http://www.carlisle.army.mil/USAWC/Parameters/Articles/1992/1992%20dunlap.pdf

Dunlap cites what he considered a dangerous precedent, the 1981 Military Cooperation with Civilian


Watch implied that the signing of such a bill by a President would have once been unthinkable, noting that the paradigm of the war on terror has advanced so far in people's minds that this has to appear more normal than it actually is." Further, "it wasn't asked for by any of the agencies on the frontlines in the fight against terrorism in the United States. It breaks with over 200 years of tradition in America against using the military in domestic affairs."

In fact, the heads of several security agencies, including the FBI, CIA, the director of national intelligence and the attorney general objected to the legislation. Even some within the Pentagon itself said they were against the bill. No matter, and no matter the intention inherent inmassive surveillance, are part of a long history of American "internal security" measures dating back to the first American Revolution. Generally, these measures have sought to thwart the aims of social justice movements, embodying the concept, promulgated by elite sectors intent on maintaining their grip on the levers of state; that within the civilian body politic lurks an enemy that one day the military might have to fight; or at least be ordered to fight. (See: Army Surveillance in America, 1775-1980, Joan M. Jensen, Yale University Press, 1991)

Thus, in reaction to a period of social upsurge flush with movements of liberation, justice and peace, and the mounting of powerful campaigns which threatened the status quo and elite control, the US militarys stand alone apparatus for conducting civil disturbance


security activities, including civil disturbance suppression operations, and assisting law enforcement within Canada, the United States and Mexico. http://www.northcom.mil/

Under NORTHCOM, Operation Garden Plot functions, with the US Army as executive agent, as ConPlan 2502. In two parts, the con plan is officially listed as: United States Northern Command, Concept Plan (CONPLAN) 3501 (formerly 2501), Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA), dated 11 April 2006; and the United States Northern Command, Concept Plan 3502 (formerly 2502), Defense Support of Civil Authorities for Civil Disturbance Operations (CDO), 23 January 2007.

As noted above, the latest development in the Pentagons evolving mission of suppressing, at the behest of its corporate civilian overseers, a detention provision, is buried within the massive National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 2012 signed by President Obama inTaliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.

Accordingly, the disposition of a person under the law of war will include detention under the law of war without trial until the end of the hostilities  Now, by stating that nothing in this section is intended to limit or expand the authority of the President or the scope of the Authorization for Use of Military Force, and that nothing in this section shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States, or any other


an American citizen, in a country with which the United States was not at war, in secret and without the benefit of a trial.

The Justice Departments Office of Legal Counsel rationalized such a move in a lengthy memo justifying that extraordinary step, asserting that while the Fifth Amendments guarantee of due process applied, it could be satisfied by internal deliberations in the executive branch. (New York Times, Secret U.S. Memo Made Legal Case to Kill a Citizen, 10/8/11) Accordingly, after a dubious period of internal deliberations, Mr. Obama gave his approval, and the cleric Anwar al-Awlak was assassinated in September 2011, along with an associate Samir Khan, an American citizen who was not on the target list but happened to be traveling with Mr. al-Awlak. Apparently, campaign rhetoricmore popularly known as The Posse Comitatus Act, reads as follows:

Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, wilfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a Posse Comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

As noted, the 1981 Military Cooperation with Law Enforcement law would seemingly violate the spirit if not the letter of this Act. Nonetheless, like a slowly boiling pot relentlessly eating away at our freedom of movement, assembly, association and expression, the utilization of military assets, under cover of law enforcement to suppress our democratic rights has proceeded steadily by design, virtually un-noticed.

Historical milestones: eating away at our


freedom of movement, assembly, association and expression

A very limited listing of some historical milestones:

* In 1968, as mentioned above, concurrent with the creation of the Federal Commission on Civil Disorder, better known as the Kerner Commission, the Pentagon hatched its very own civil disorder operation. US Military Civil Disturbance Plan 55-2, code named Garden Plot, coordinates, until this day, all aspects of civil disturbance suppression in America, including the use of so-called non-lethal weapons during conveniently designated domestic operations other than war (OOTW), and military operations in urban terrain (MOUT), a war which pits non-combatant citizens and protesters (overwhelmingly non-violent) against militarized police on the streets of America.

* Only a few months after the round up and detention of 7,000 anti-war protesters in Washington DC, imprisoned in RFKyou, from the point of view the Supreme Court, remains unsettled.

* Also in 1971, the California Specialized Training Institute (CSTI) was created. Headed up by Louis Giuffrida, formerly of Army Combat Command, the first director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), CSTI introduced the Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) concept, offering courses on civil disorder management for select militarized police and National Guard units armed and trained for domestic operations in the urban centers of America. During this period the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) facilitated federal funding and other military largess to the burgeoning militarized sectors of the domestic police forces along with training of selected National Guard units. Still in operation, CSTI is currently headed up by William J. Hatch Colonel, USA (RET), while funding


published Field Manual 3-19-15, Civil Disturbance Operations (since updated in 2005). The manual addresses civil disturbance operations in both continental United States (CONUS) and outside continental United States (OCONUS). It states that, today, United States (US) forces are deployed on peacekeeping, peace enforcement, and humanitarian assistance operations worldwide. During these operations, US forces are often faced with unruly and violent crowds intent on disrupting peace and the ability of US forces to maintain peace. Worldwide instability coupled with increasing US military participation in peacekeeping and related operations requires that US forces have access to the most current doctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) necessary to quell riots and restore public order.

In addition to covering civil unrest doctrine for CONUS operations, FM 3-19.15 addresses domestic unrest and theConstitution and laws of the United States to suppress insurrections, rebellions, and domestic violence under various conditions and circumstances. Planning and preparedness by the Federal Government and the Department of Defense for civil disturbances are important, do to the potential severity of the consequences of such events for the Nation and the population."

* In 1995, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), an key elite "policymaker" headquartered in New York City, set up an Independent Task Force on Nonlethal Weapons (NLW) in order "to assess the current status of non-lethal weapons development and availability within the Department of Defense, in light of their potential to support U.S. military operations and foreign policy," not to mention the suppression of dissent at home. The 16 member Task Force, which published its'


findings in 1999, was chaired by IBM executive Richard L. Garwin, CFR "Senior Fellow for Science and Technology." Other members of the Task Force included CFR military fellow David Jones, United States Navy, Commander, Edward N. Luttwak, member, "National Security Study Group administered by the Department of Defense," Edward C. Meyer, USA (Ret.), Chair of Mitretek Systems, formerly Chief of Staff, US Army, and a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Janet and Christopher Morris, President/Vice President, M2 Technologies, Inc, members US Global Strategy Council.

The Director of the CFR task force on non-lethal technologies was W. Montaque Winfield, former Executive Officer to the Commander of the "Stabilization Force" stationed in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. Also a 1998-9 CFR "military fellow," Brigadier General Winfield, some of you might recall, wasthe deputy director for operations (DDO) in the National Military Command Center (NMCC) at the Pentagon on the morning of 9/11, who according to the 9/11 Commission, left his post that very morning to attend a pre-scheduled meeting and allowed a colleague who had only recently qualified to take over his position, to stand in for him. He didnt return to his post until after the terrorist attacks had ended.http://www.historycommons.org/entity.jsp?entity=montague_winfield

The CFR had issued an earlier report on the subject of non-lethal weapons in 1995, and stated in the 1999 report that they had regrettably "found that the DoD has made only limited progress developing and deploying nonlethal weapons since 1995." The CFR, offering a bit of a tongue lashing to its hired generals, considered the "shortfall" the result
