Afghans: Victimized by Conflict, Occupation, Extreme Deprivation and Genocide – by Stephen Lendman
In his book "Freedom Next Time," John Pilger used CIA Vietnam terminology calling Afghanistan "the grand illusion of the American cause," describing long-suffering Afghans victimized by conflict, violence, occupation, extreme deprivation and genocide.
A December 15 ICRC press release expressed deep concern about how dire conditions have gotten, their worst ever since America's illegal war of aggression began in October 2001.
Headlined, "Afghanistan: a people trapped between sides," it cited "civilian casualties, internal displacement, and insufficient access to medical care, all of which are occurring against the background of a proliferation of armed groups."
Its head of Afghanistan operations, Reto Stocker, said:
"The sheer fact the ICRC has organized a press conference is an expression of us being extremely concerned of yet another year of fighting with dramatic consequences for an ever growing number of people in by now almost the entire country."
By every measure ICRC uses, its account presents an appalling picture, the worst ever in its 30 year history of providing Afghans aid. As a result:
"Many people are fleeing as their only solution and many end up in camps for the displaced or with relatives in neighboring districts."
The best estimates show the numbers of internally displaced (minimally) rose 25% compared with last year. The ICRC acknowledged a likely undercount because too many parts of the country aren't safe to access.
In fact, however, safety is virtually nonexistent throughout the country. As conflict escalated and spread, civilian casualties soared. America's "grand illusion" indeed.
In one hospital alone, Kandahar's Mirwais Regional Hospital (serving an astonishing four million people), 2,650 wounded patients have been admitted in 2010 compared to 2,100 in 2009. ICRC's prosthetic/orthotic centers have fitted nearly 4,000 people with prostheses this year alone. However, conditions are so unsafe in much of the country that ICRC staff can't operate there even though it maintains dialogue with all belligerents to treat victims regardless of their allegiances.
Most are civilians in harm's way, suffering under America's presence. It's why US forces are so hated. In contrast, Taliban ones are freedom fighters struggling to liberate their country.
ICRC's health coordinator, Dr. Bart de Poorter, cites one of many issues:
"The number of mothers coming in with children from easily preventable diseases such as measles or chronic diarrhea is staggering. But what doctor….is brave enough to venture into (some) areas given the appalling lack of security and lack of respect for medical staff?"
Yet international humanitarian law mandates that noncombatants be treated humanely at all times. Article 51 of Geneva's 1977 Protocol I requires they be "protect(ed) against dangers arising from military operations," including "indiscriminate attacks." In addition, "constant care shall be taken to spare the civilian population, civilians and civilian objects."
Under Geneva's Common Article 3:
(1) Noncombatants "shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction found on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria."
Specifically prohibited is "violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture."
"The wounded and sick shall be collected and cared for. An impartial humanitarian body, such as the (ICRC), may offer its services to the Parties to the conflict" as well as civilians in harm's way.
Reto Stocker added:
"The humanitarian principles that we have insisted on constantly in the past decade are as relevant, if not more so, than ever. In today's Afghanistan, it unfortunately remains urgent and necessary to abstain from attacks against civilians, to spare medical services and to ensure that detainees receive decent treatment."
Because of Afghanistan's conflict and dire conditions, ICRC maintains its largest operation anywhere with over 1,750 staff in 15 offices with a 2011 budget of $89 million. It's a small amount for an immense task in a nation with over 30 million people, including out of country refugees wanting to come home.
A Day at Afghanistan's Mirwais Hospital
As mentioned above, it serves four million Afghans, an impossible load. It's a 350-bed facility with over 500 staff, including ICRC doctors, surgeons, nurses, and nutritionists working heroically under dire conditions.
Christian Shuh, a pediatric nurse, discussed a typical day in the children's ward. "We receive many young emergency patients here," she said. "Mirwais is the only public hospital within a radius of several hundred kilometers," providing free treatment to as many patients as possible.
This morning, three year old Jacoub and his family arrived. For over a week, he suffered from pneumonia. His condition was very serious. "My colleagues (diagnosed) septic shock, and began administering infusions of essential antibiotics."
He was breathing too fast. He needed oxygen and a saline infusion. Finally his condition stabilized. If he survived, he was lucky. Many others don't, and most get no care because Afghan need far exceeds available resources and personnel to provide it.
Overnight, five new young patients were admitted "with a range of injuries, wounds and ailments." Later, a newborn was struggling to breathe and stay alive. Afghanistan's infant mortality rate is the world's highest. More on that below.
Shuh explains that "Every day we see malnourished children, children with infectious diseases that could have (easily) been prevented….children with chronic illnesses that need regular treatment, or children with diarrhea caused by dirty water," as well conflict casualties.
Another case is described, seven year old Khadija suffering from life-threatening meningitis and TB. Luckily she's improving, but she's still very weak and could relapse. For every successful outcome, so many others perish despite Shuh and her colleagues "mak(ing) enormous efforts and unimaginable sacrifices to bring relief to those in need" who get so little of it most often.
Conditions in Afghanistan
A March 2010 UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights analysis can be accessed through the following link:
It explained tht "Abject poverty remains widespread; it is closely related to inequality and frequently accompanied by a sense of powerlessness and exclusion."
Most Afghans are affected, exacerbated by "a massive human rights deficit…." Two-thirds of Afghans are impoverished. Half of those can't meet their basic needs. Many will perish. Conflict conditions exacerbate conditions. The extent of human suffering is appalling. There's no security, clean water, enough medical care, food, shelter, or other essential services. Serious disease, injury, grievous suffering or death has threatened everyone since America arrived.
"Poverty is a multi-faceted phenomenon that, in the Afghan context, has significant ramifications for the survival and well-being of a high proportion of the population."
International human rights law defines it:
"as a human condition characterized by sustained or chronic deprivation of the resources, capabilities, choices, security and power necessary for the enjoyment of an adequate standard of living and other civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights."
To one degree or other, most Afghans are affected, their situation worsening, not improving. It's "neither accidental nor inevitable." It reflects an occupying power and its puppet government's agenda, their contempt for human need, with no regard whether Afghans live, die, or suffer grievously while alive. Washington, of course, makes policy. It destroyed, subjugated and occupied Iraq and plans the same fate for Afghanistan, slaughtering millions of civilians to solidify control.
In November/December 2009, the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) issued a report on "the Situation of Economic and Social Rights in Afghanistan." In a word, they're dire. The full report can be accessed through the following link:
Appalling conditions exist despite the mandate of the Afghan Constitution, International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), Afghanistan's Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and its National Development Strategy (ANDS) to protect the rights of its citizens, including their security, health, education, and ability to have an adequate standard of living. At war under occupation and a corrupted puppet government, meeting those conditions is impossible.
As a result, unemployment and poverty are rampant. The absence of basic services is appalling, and the ability of millions of Afghans to survive is gravely jeopardized. Except for sheltered elites, the entire population is vulnerable and deprived.
"There is no effective social security mechanism, despite (years) of international aid and assistance….there are no mechanisms in place to protect severely vulnerable people….The assistance of the international community to Afghanistan has been far less than the assistance provided to (other) countries."
Washington has done virtually nothing unrelated to its military and occupation agenda. How Afghans fare is of no consequence whatever.
A September 2008 Institute for Afghan Studies.org (IAS) report can be accessed through the following link:
A snapshot cites:
— most youths deprived of education, creating an unskilled unemployed population;
— Afghanistan is one of the world's least developed countries, suffering from a "high infant mortality rate, low life expectancy rate, high prevalence of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, gastrointestinal diseases especially among children and a high rate of mortality among expectant mothers;"
— the Karzai regime paid little more than lip service to an out-of-control problem;
— "unemployment is rising and there is barely any effective social service system to deal with the great need for social service in the country;"
— millions of refugees create an added burden;
— most people live in abject poverty; and
— war and occupation exacerbate everything, including pervasive fear, lack of security, and human suffering affecting everyone.
An IAS November 11, 2010 commentary cites power corrupting "the already corrupt system of government. All the powerful, or so-called leaders….claim that they have the solution up their sleeves to rectify the situation and put the country back on track. Yet it has been almost a decade since (America arrived) and there is still no security, no prosperity, no sound governance and hopes are eroding for a future that never comes," nor will it under conflict and US occupation.
Reliable statistics are hard to come by. Those available, however, make depressing reading:
— unemployment is around 45%;
— most with jobs earn a meager $200 a year, those in the opium trade around $300;
Under US occupation and puppet Karzai regime, Afghanistan is a corrupted narco-state, by far the world's largest opium producer, providing around 93% of global heroin. Washington, the CIA and drug laundering banks are deeply involved. The drug trade exceeds half the nation's economy, controlled by America and Karzai, not the Taliban who eradicated most opium in the 1990s. Now it flourishes as a valued profit source for corrupted locals, crime bosses, and America's financial interests. Washington is the hub of the problem, not Kabul, and for sure not the Taliban.
— poverty is overwhelming;
— at least one-fourth of the population depends on scarce hard to get food aid;
— at 44.5 years, life expectancy is perhaps the world's lowest;
— at 161 per 1,000 births, infant mortality is the world's highest;
— one-fifth of children die before age five;
— an Afghan woman dies in childbirth every 30 minutes;
— homelessness is extensive and deplorable;
— at most, about one-fourth of the population has access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation;
— on average, one doctor serves 6,000 people, one nurse per 2,500 people;
— war-related violence kills dozens daily, disease and deprivation countless numbers more;
— children are kidnapped, sold into slavery or killed for their organs;
— few Afghans have access to electricity;
— women's literacy is less than 20%;
— to survive, many women beg in streets or turn to prostitution; and
— lawlessness, violence, and lack of essential services makes daily Afghan life dangerous, appalling, and for many impossible.
A Final Comment
Afghanistan today is the reality of Washington's agenda. Except for Haiti's five centuries of suffering, it highlights John Pilger's belief that:
"Through all the humanitarian crises in living memory, no country has been abused and suffered more, and none has been helped less than Afghanistan."
Washington's genocidal agenda accentuates that view. Millions of post-9/11 corpses bear it testimony. Why else would fierce resistance persist to expunge America's presence. For long-suffering Afghans, it can't come a moment too soon.

Rodney McGruder finished with 13 points and Angel Rodriguez had 12, all in the first half, as the Wildcats lost for the 45th time in 48 games against their bitter in-state rival.
Kansas State had its own eight-game winning streak snapped.
VILLANOVA 73, No. 5 LOUISVILLE 64
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Achraf Yacoubou hit the tiebreaking 3-pointer late in the second half to help Villanova to the upset.
The Wildcats (12-7, 3-3 Big East) led by as many as 10 points in the first half and rallied late in the second to send the Cardinals to their second straight loss. Louisville (16-3, 4-2) had an 11-game winning streak end in a 70-68 loss to Syracuse on Saturday.
Ryan Arcidiacono scored 15 points, and JayVaughn Pinkston and Mouphtaou Yarou each scored 11 for Villanova.

Ryan Evans' 3-pointer from the wing with 17 seconds left pulled Wisconsin within 48-47.
Michigan State freshman Gary Harris was fouled and hit front end of a 1-and-1, but rimmed out the second, leaving Michigan State up 49-47.
Wisconsin's George Marshall, who missed practice Monday because he was sick, was fouled with 3.5 seconds left. He missed the first free throw and intentionally tried to miss the second but he didn't draw iron, giving the ball to the Spartans.
No. 14 OHIO STATE 72, IOWA 63
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Deshaun Thomas, who missed part of the second half with a cut above his eye, scored 16 points as Ohio State built a big lead and then held on.
Thomas, the Big Ten's leading scorer at 21 points per game, sat out about 3 minutes while an open cut over his right eye was bandaged.
The Buckeyes (14-4, 4-2 Big Ten) led by 24 points with under 13 minutes left but watched as Iowa cut the lead to four with 1:30 remaining.
Aaron White had 13 points for Iowa (13-6, 2-4).
Aaron Craft and Lenzelle Smith Jr. both had 12 points and Evan Ravenel added 11 for Ohio State.

Travis McKie added 16 points for the Demon Deacons (10-8, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), including two free throws with 3.4 seconds left that helped Wake Forest hold on down the stretch in a wild final 4 1/2 minutes.
N.C. State led by 16 points in the first half and 12 at halftime only to see the Demon Deacons rally and push ahead to their own 10-point lead.
Then N.C. State (15-4, 4-2) managed its own comeback, closing the gap to a point with about a minute left. But ultimately, Wake Forest - a team filled with freshmen - did just enough to earn a win that sent their fans storming the court to celebrate.
Wake Forest shot 59 percent after halftime.
Rodney Purvis scored 18 points to lead the Wolfpack, who fell to 1-2 since upsetting top-ranked Duke on Jan 12.
No. 22 MISSOURI 71, SOUTH CAROLINA 65
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) - Earnest Ross and Jabari Brown hit key 3-pointers in the final 1:11 and Missouri overcame 5-for-27 shooting from long range and a 13-point second-half deficit.
Ross had a career-best 21 points and Brown had 17 for Missouri (14-4, 3-2 Southeastern Conference), which is 11-0 at home this season and has won 12 straight at the Mizzou Arena.
Brown had eight points in a 20-2 run that gave Missouri a five-point lead with just under 12 minutes to go. Alex Oriakhi was 10 for 10 at the line and fouled out in the final minute with 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Tigers, who won despite 33 percent overall shooting.
Brenton Williams had 16 points with four 3-pointers for South Carolina (11-7, 1-4), which has lost four conference games by a combined 18 points and faced its first ranked opponent of the season.

via press release:
Limited Series Airs Sundays, February 10 and 17 on ABC
From the ultimate betrayal to a domestic violence nightmare, real life tales of bitterness, obsession and revenge are told through the words and actions of the people actually involved, in "Revenge for Real," a limited series airing Sundays February 10 and 17 on ABC.
Sunday, February 10 – "The Miami Millionaire" (10:02-11:00 p.m., ET):
They say revenge is a dish best served cold. But in Miami back in the 1990s, there was another kind of revenge: it was hot, violent an inspired by envy. Self-made millionaire Marc Schiller was betrayed by his own protégé, Jorge Delgado. Delgado and two accomplices kidnapped him and tortured him for four weeks until he signed over all of his assets to them. Schiller, unconscious, was then put in a car, which was set on fire. Delgado wanted payback because Schiller had cut him off. There was just one little problem with their perfect scheme — Schiller wasn't dead, in this crime so compelling, it will soon be a major Hollywood movie starring Mark Wahlberg.
Sunday, February 17 – "Rocky Mountain Retribution" (10:02-11:00 p.m., ET):
Christopher and Amara Wells had been married for 12 years and already had a daughter when their marriage began to crumble. Christopher had a history of domestic violence, and by the summer of 2010, Amara had had enough and moved out of their home to live in a basement belonging to the only people with whom she felt safe – Tammy and Bob Rafferty. What made that arrangement unusual is that Tammy Rafferty was Christopher's sister. Wanting revenge, Christopher hired a hit man to kill his estranged wife. Not only did the hit man, dressed as a ninja assassin, kill Amara, he also killed his brother-in-law, Bob Rafferty. He would have killed Tammy too, but she was away on a business trip. Wells' own daughter, who was six at the time, witnessed the murders and escaped to a neighbor's house in the middle of the night. Even though the suspect was eventually caught and pleaded guilty, the survivors still fear for their lives.
"Revenge for Real" is broadcast in 720 Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format with a 5.1 channel surround sound.

Logitech Helps You Out Just Because They Feel Like It
Here's a nice story! Cody bought a refurbished Logitech remote from an Amazon reseller — which he says had no warranty of any kind. When it broke, he called Logitech and they decided to replace it for free. Just because!
Cody says:
I just wanted to let you know that Logitech's service department gets an A+ in my book. Nearly a year ago, I purchased a Logitech Harmony 880 universal remote from an Amazon reseller. I purchased a refurbished model, which offers no warranty of any kind. Well a few months ago, the remote would not take a charge any longer.
I called Logitech support, and they quickly determined that either my battery or charger were no longer functioning properly. Long story short, I received an e-mail the following day from a rep named Allan stating that while my remote offered no warranty, he was going to send me a brand new remote the next day, free of charge. Even better, he didn't require me to return the defective unit. As it turns out, it was the charger that was bad. I've now got two remotes, one for each of my entertainment setups.
Only one charger, but that's no big deal since a charge lasts a couple of weeks. I couldn't be happier with Logitech. I will continue to be a loyal Logitech user for all of hardware needs, thanks to Allan's fantastic service. I just wanted your readers to know that they can have 100% faith in purchasing Logitech products!
Kind of gives you a warm fuzzy feeling, doesn't it?

ERIN, Wis. — What is the definition of a U.S. Open champion?
Brooks Koepka is this year's U.S. Open champion. He achieved the feat in record-tying fashion on Sunday, shooting 16 under par and saving his best for the back nine on Sunday. He emerged from a tightly packed leaderboard and seized the moment, which makes for an exciting championship. He did it on a stunning golf course that demands all sorts of shotmaking, which required an exciting player.
Why then, a day after the championship, is the golf world trying to figure out if it liked what it saw at the season's second major?
For some, the U.S. Open represents a chance to see carnage and destruction once a year. They want to see the best players in the world curled up in a ball on the fairway.
That's fine, but it's not a great argument for the game of golf.
Somewhere over the years we've lost the definition of a U.S. Open champion. There used to be such a thing as a U.S. Open-type player. Some of them were guys you might not think much about at other majors. Guys like Corey Pavin or Lee Janzen. At the U.S. Open, if you hit the ball straight and were a great putter, you could have a chance. That is, as long as you were resilient, tough as nails, and patient. Payne Stewart and Hale Irwin had this rare mix of character traits. At Erin Hills, Brian Harman had it. All you had to do was look at his face when someone called him "diminutive" for the hundredth time to know it.
But, alas, those days are gone. The U.S. Open has subtly rebranded itself this year. It no longer wants to be known as The Toughest Test in Golf, it wants to be the The Ultimate Test in Golf. Tight fairways, diabolically thick rough, and nightmarish greens have been replaced by ever-changing hole yardages, 100 different tee boxes and a game of chess against Mike Davis, the USGA executive director and course setup czar.
Davis is an impressively thoughtful man. He is incredibly passionate about the game of golf and probably stays awake at night thinking about how to make the game better. He once said that he spent days as a kid drawing up golf holes in his backyard. Davis' drawing board is now the U.S. Open and not everybody likes what he devises.
The U.S. Open at Chambers Bay in 2015, which, like Erin Hills, had Davis' fingerprints all over it, was supposed to be a links-style test but played more like a game of golf pinball in the fairways. That was before the fescue grass on the greens died and led to endless ridicule. A year earlier, the U.S. Open went back to iconic Pinehurst No. 2, which had been revamped to its Sandhills past and had all of the rough replaced by sand and wispy grass. The golf historian and environmental steward Davis loved it; the problem was, the players played easily out of the naturalized areas. The famous greens provided plenty of difficulty but the iconic shot of the championship was winner Martin Kaymer's 205-yard 7-iron from 30 yards off the fairway to set up an eagle. Great shotmaking indeed, but making eagle from 30 yards off the fairway was a shot not possible in any previous U.S. Open.
If you wanted windswept golf with great recovery shots and a healthy dose of chance (or the rub of the green), you watched the British Open. There also is a particular type of player who has a unique chance to win there. If you can play the ball on the ground, negotiate the elements and chuckle at the golf gods' menace, you might one day drink from the Claret Jug.
For more than a century there were two distinct styles of play and sets of skills that would help at each of golf's two biggest national Opens. And every generation, there were a handful of truly special players who had the game to win at both. Trying to survive the crucible of the U.S. Open yet flourish in the adventure of the British Open was, the original, ultimate test in golf.
By bringing the championship all over America with a new slogan and new philosophy, the U.S. Open hopes to grow the game and find new fans. If it's not careful, though, it might lose itself along the way.

The "24" clock is ticking again, now that Kiefer Sutherland is all better from a real life boo-boo.
While Jack Bauer can undergo stomach-turning torture and savage beatings and get right back to work following a commercial break, Sutherland's minor, elective surgery to remove a cyst near his kidney shut down production on the show for two weeks. We hear he even took advantage of anesthetics for the operation.
"Kiefer's been cleared to return to work, and we resume production March 1," a Fox spokesman told E! news.
U.S. & World
Fans won't notice, because the gap in production didn't throw off the broadcast schedule. The current season has Bauer trying to disrupt a nuclear plot and fight off an eastern European syndicate. Making matter worse, despite all he's done for his country, Bauer still finds himself working for ungrateful bosses all too willing to believe the worst about him. Predictable, sure, but somehow the show still keeps you on the edge of the couch.
The broadcast schedule for the "24" season is due to wrap in May, and nothing the evil Russians do to Bauer can imperil that schedule. However, if Sutherland gets a hangnail ...

Like many others, I did not have too many books on my list of things to pick up.
Here are my 'picks' from SBL
Mike Gorman's Elements of Biblical Exegesis, revised and expanded (Hendrickson). This is one of the best exegetical textbooks and is written in a simple, but comprehensive way that covers all major steps of interpretation. Three new elements made this appealing for me to pick up in this new version: (1) Gorman has added a new section on 'theological intepretation'. I will write a separate post on this. (2) Gorman has included three real exegesis papers by students in the appendix of the book, including one OT one. (3) The excellent annotated bibiliography has been updated. This is invaluable for exegesis students.
J. Neyrey and Eric Stewart's Social World of the NT: Insights and Models (Hendrickson). Dealing with issues related to institutions (kindship, patron-client, economics), culture (honor, purity, gender, space, healing, etc…) and modal personality, this collection of programmatic essays from many well-known scholars (Neyrey, Elliott, Oakman, Pilch, Rohrbaugh) is a great resource. This would make a good textbook, but it also works for reference purposes.
S. McKnight and G. Osborne's The Face of NT Studies (Baker, 2004). This is not a new book, but it is an amazing resource for prospective PhD and current research students. Because NT is so fragmented in terms of research specialities, it is necessary to be informed of the current debates and issues in other areas when a Paul person, for instance, dares to make a comment about John or Hebrews. I will dedicate a full post to this book later.
David deSilva's The Sacramental Life: Spiritual Formation Through the Book of Common Prayer (IVP). David is a friend of mine and I really like what he does. Starting from the Anglican Book of Common Prayer, and tries to offer a spiritual and theological reading of it to bring revitalization to the protestant church and especially 'low' church life by showing how this ancient book offers invaluable guidance and devotional riches. More on this later.
Greg Beale's We Become What we Worship (IVP). This biblical theology of idolatry is a very important topic, also recently taken up by Brian Rosner. Beale's strong background in biblical theology, intertextuality, and apocalyptic literature makes him eminently qualified to undertake this project. More also on this.
NB: I did hope to pick up Fitzmyer's 1 Corinthians (Anchor/Yale), but it was not out yet. Also, like many others, I was anxious to the see the Hays FS which sold out quite quickly. Oh well. I have enough to read for now anyway!

iPhone 6 release date, price and specs
Everything you need to know about Apple's 2014 flagship smartphone
APPLE UNVEILED the long-awaited iPhone 6 at a Cupertino event on 9 September, alongside the larger iPhone 6 Plus.
Here, we round up everything we know about the iPhone 6's availability, including pricing and release date details. Keep this page bookmarked, as we'll update it with every new detail, feature and rumour about the iPhone 6.
If you're after the larger model, check out our iPhone 6 Plus release date, price and specs roundup.
iPhone 6 release date
Just as rumours had suggested before the handset's unveiling, the iPhone 6 went on sale in the UK on 19 September, after pre-orders began on 12 September.
Following this, Apple launched the handset in 22 more countries on 26 September.
iPhone 6 price and availability
In an unexpected move, Apple has made the iPhone 6 cheaper at launch than last year's iPhone 5S, with the 16GB model priced at £539 SIM free, compared to £549.
The firm has also ditched the 32GB model, making room for a more spacious 128GB variant, which will be sold alongside the 16GB and 64GB variants. The 64GB iPhone 6 will cost £619 (compared to the 32GB iPhone 5S' £629 launch price), and the 128GB model £699.
In terms of availability, as of 2 February, all models are showing as in stock and shipping immediately.
EE is offering the iPhone 6. The 16GB model can be picked up for £99 on a £40.99 contract, while the 64GB model is priced at £149 on a £45.99 tariff. EE doesn't appear to be offering the 128GB model.
O2 is also offering the iPhone 6, which is available to order on its website. Prices for the iPhone 6 start at £49.99 on a £48 per month contract, with unlimited texts and minutes and 20GB data. It will also offer the handset on a £38 tariff for £129.99, with a lesser 2GB data.The 64GB and 128GB models are, yet unsurprisingly, more expensive.
Giffgaff, which runs on the O2 network, is selling the iPhone 6 SIM free.
Three is also, unsurprisingly, selling the iPhone 6, with prices starting at £99 on a £41 tariff with unlimited minutes and texts for 1GB data. For £41 and £45 respectively, this can be bumped to 2GB or unlimited data.
Those after the 64GB and 128GB models will see contract prices rise to £43, £46 and £50, and £48, £51 and £55, respectively.
Vodafone has popped the iPhone 6 on its website too. The operator is offering the 16GB iPhone 6 for free on a £48.50 per month contract, complete with unlimited minutes and texts, and 4GB data. Prices for the 64GB model start at £52.50 per month with a £29 upfront cost, a price which increases to £109 for the 128GB model.
Carphone Warehouse is offering the iPhone 6, and it has a selecton of tariffs from EE, Vodafone and O2. The cheapest appears to be a £38.50 per month Vodafone contract with a £49.99 upfront cost, which comes with 600 minutes, unlimited texts and 1GB data.
Phones 4u's is selling the iPhone 6 on O2 and EE contracts.
iPhone 6 specs
While it didn't arrive boasting a sapphire crystal screen, unlike the Apple Watch, the iPhone 6 specifications are almost identical to those that leaked ahead of the handset's launch.
The key talking point is the smartphones' screen. The iPhone 6 model touts a 4.7in 1344x750 Retina HD screen with 326ppi, with Apple promising 38 percent more pixels than on the iPhone 5S.
While the iPhone 6 is larger, it's the skinniest Apple iPhone yet, with handset measuring in at 6.9mm thick. In comparison, the iPhone 5S measured in at 7.6mm. It is slightly heavier than last years model, at 129g.
Under the hood, the iPhone 6 features Apple's new A8 chip. While specifics are yet to be confirmed, Apple is promising 25 percent faster processing power, and 25 percent quicker graphics. It is also set to offer up an improvement in the battery life department, with the iPhone 6 promising 14 hours of talktime, and the iPhone 6 Plus a full 24 hours.
The iPhone 6's 4G capabilities have seen a boost too, with the handset supporting speeds of up to 150Mbps, and 20 different LTE bands worlwide.
An upgraded camera is also included, and while the sensor still weighs in at 8MP, Apple claims it is much better than that found on the iPhone 5S. There's a true-tone flash, 1.5 micron pixel size, f/2.2 aperture and an optical image stablisation, alongside a new time lapse mode the ability to record slow-mo video at 240fps.
Apple's new contactless payments service, Apple Pay, also debuts on the iPhone 6 handset. This uses the iPhone's TouchID sensor to authenticate payments, and will be supported at 200,000 US retail outlets at launch.
iPhone 6 software
The iPhone 6 will arrive running Apple's iOS 8 mobile operating system, which the firm introduced at this year's WWDC.
While it doesn't offer up a major redesign like iOS 7, the updated software does introduce a bunch of new features, with Healthkit and Homekit being chief among these. Homekit, as its name suggests, will allow users to connect the iPhone 6 to supported devices, such as connected light bulbs and security kit, and to manage more than one at once.
OS X Continuity is also included in iOS 8, which sees Apple further merging its mobile software with Mac OS X. With Continuity, users will be able to Airdrop files between their iPhone, iPad and Mac, while the feature will also allow for picking up phonecalls on a Macbook or iMac. An additional feature called Handoff will enable users to "hand off" tasks between devices - for example, if start writing an email on your iPhone, you can then pick it up on your Macbook device.
Android-style widgets will also debut in iOS 8. While they won't appear on the homescreen, iOS 8 includes the ability for users to bake widgets from the likes of eBay and Pinterest into Notification Center.
iPhone and iPad users will be able to reply to messages straight from the Notifications bar too with iOS 8 installed, and can easily embed voice memos and videos which will "self destruct" unless specified otherwise, which sees Apple looking to challenge the likes of Snapchat.
iOS 8's Quicktype feature sees Apple finally improving autocorrect, while it has also added support for third-party keyboards, including the likes of Swype.
Other new features included in iOS 8 include family sharing and a number of new enterprise tools, such as improved data protection, Calendar notifications, Exchange out of office support and new productivity tools. µ

While doing our regular log sweeps we discovered that some users are using the Document Manager to submit word files with embedded images which can cause the conversion process to fail. Embedding animated GIFs might be spiffy for sharing with friends but our system will not always process them correctly.
So a general rule of thumb is to remove images from your word files before submission and especially if you encounter errors.
Lastly, we have been doing quite a bit of work helping the <0.5% who likes to submit amazingly corrupted Word documents and especially Word 2003 and higher (.docx) files. To help us find the common connection between these users, we would like anyone having problem submitting .docx files to send their original files to our support email with the following info:
- Attach the .docx file in question.
- What OS are you running? What OS version?
- Which Word Processor did you use to create the file? What version of the program? You can find these info by looking for the "About…" option within the program menus.
With some feedback and luck, we just might be able to help these users out.

"In this day and age, it really is essential we provide the skills our children need to stay safe and to make the right choices online," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "I applaud all of the students who participated in this contest for their help in spreading the message of Internet safety."
Students earning first place were presented with resolutions during a ceremony Monday afternoon at the Illinois Executive Mansion in Springfield. The contest follows a law that took effect in January 2009 requiring school districts to incorporate Internet safety into the curriculum at least each school year beginning in third grade.
This year's theme for the contest, which was open to students in grades kindergarten through 12, was "Bystander Intervention," or the idea that students who witness bullying can take action against it. Representatives from all three sponsoring government agencies judged submissions from across Illinois.
"These anti-bullying messages are powerful because they come from students on behalf of their peers," said Lt. Governor Sheila Simon. "I commend the winners for sparking honest conversations about cyber bullying and creating safer spaces for online interaction."
Under state law each local school district determines how to include lessons in the classroom but some recommended topics include the safe and responsible use of social networking websites, chat rooms, bulletin boards and other means of communication on the Internet. It is also recommended that instruction includes information on recognizing, avoiding and reporting online solicitation by sexual predators, recognizing and reporting online harassment and cyberbullying and knowing the risks of transmitting personal information on the Internet.
Attorney General Madigan's Office has created age-specific Internet Safety Training Modules for educators that meet state law requirements. The Attorney General's Internet Safety Training Modules can be found on her website at
www.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov, or on ISBE's website at
Attorney General Madigan's Office has provided Internet safety training and education to more nearly 229,000 parents, teachers, and students, and more than 14,000 law enforcement officers and prosecutors since 2006. Madigan also hosts a website to help children, teens, parents and educators learn about the dangers of cyberbullying. The "Stop Cyberbullying" website (www.ebully411.com) includes the latest news and statistics, frequently asked questions and a quiz to test online users' knowledge about cyberbullying. It also features an E-Info Hotline to assist victims and teach bullies to understand the impact of their actions. More information is available by calling the hotline at 1-888-414-7678 or by e-mailing
"Today's technology not only creates great opportunities, it can sometimes create great risks," said Attorney General Madigan. "This Digital Safety contest provides an opportunity for participants to demonstrate ways to get their friends talking about how to encourage safe and civil behavior on the Internet and how to respond to any negative behavior they may encounter."
Students in any public or non-public district were eligible to enter the contest by submitting an entry as a poster or in an electronic media format (video, podcast or slideshow). Here are the students from across the state honored with resolutions for first place in their categories:

English 218: Advanced Composition/Peer Tutoring in Writing—the training course for students recommended to be writing tutors
The student-tutors in the Writing Center take ENG 218, an intensive course that prepares them for their work with other students. It is also a second level writing course that benefits students who transfer to schools with challenging writing requirements.
Recommended students must have done well in their composition courses and be recommended by a faculty member.
Students in the course are always writing—essays, revisions of essays, critiques, journals, case studies—and receive detailed feedback on their work from fellow students and the instructor.
At the same time, they look closely at issues in tutoring and learning, using their experiences in the Writing Center as the basis for discussion.
The small size and seminar format of the class allow students to explore a range of topics related to tutoring:
the writer's dialogue with the other "self"
strategies for invention and increasing fluency
common sense approaches to grammar
rhetorical and stylistic choices
the challenges of revision
issues of language and non-verbal communication for ESL students
responding to analyses of literature
learning theory and learning styles
working with students with learning challenges
counseling aspects of tutoring
the role of electronic resources in tutoring
Qualified students who are interested in a challenging, exciting learning experience may talk with one of their instructors about registering for the ENG 218 class. Permission of the instructor and Writing Center director, Brenda Squires, is necessary, and students must complete the composition sequence of ENG 101 and ENG 102 with a grade average of "B" or better. The lab requirement of the four-credit course requires two hours per week tutoring in the Writing Center.

As iPhones and iPads and other mobile devices enter our classrooms and our learners' backpacks and pockets, I've been wondering what types of little libraries they might be building to support their learning. And how we as librarians might help them select and build those libraries. This gathering of worthy apps may be especially timely with Apple's news this week of a bulk purchasing option for education.
Back in the spring, I excitedly shared about Gale's new database apps in AccessMyLibrary School Edition and Gale and Buffy (a little more on the AccessMyLibrary app).
Since those posts I've been considering what a personal app library might include. We are able to broadcast our reference suggestions through our web-based pathfinders. But, right now, we cannot easily broadcast to our learners' mobile devices. We will need to make some suggestions.
Oh, I know there are equity issues. But, for the many of my kids who have devices now, and for those students who do have school-issued iPads, I am thinking that this fall we will create a little list for learners and their parents of research apps too good to miss. Here are a few suggestions, none costing more than the price of one or two songs on iTunes. Please add others in your comments!
(Full disclosure note: I long for, but do not yet own an iPad. I need your help here. I am working largely on how these apps look and work on my iPhone.)
GALE- Access my Library (free) for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. I've probably said enough in those prior posts. We buy it for them. Our students should have this quality material available to them. We need to make sure these apps are loaded. I am hoping the other database vendors follow Gale's lead.

Webroot, a leading provider of security solutions for the consumer, enterprise and SMB markets, and Cymtec Systems, Inc., a provider of network security and performance management solutions, today announced a multi-layered solution to protect small to midsize businesses at the perimeter. Using the Webroot® RockSafe Software Development Kit (SDK), Cymtec has integrated Webroot's market-leading antispyware technology with Cymtec Sentry®, the first network security and performance appliance to safeguard small and multiple remote and branch offices. SMB and enterprise customers will now be able to prevent even the most difficult to detect threats before they reach the desktop via integrated technology that places Webroot's antispyware protection at the network perimeter.
"SMBs make up the majority of the world's business landscape. We are pleased to team with Cymtec to develop a solution that addresses the growing need for better perimeter security," said Mike Irwin, COO, Webroot. "Last year alone, we saw a 500 percent increase in the number of malware signatures. This solution will give customers the industry's leading antispyware technology in a perimeter-based solution."
Webroot's antispyware technology provides a comprehensive first layer of defense against malicious threats for perimeter security. A scalable enterprise solution, Webroot's antispyware technology delivers protection against all types of spyware like Trojans, keyloggers and system monitors. At the perimeter, it extends this protection to inbound and outbound network traffic by detecting and removing existing spyware and blocking new threats before they can impact a network.
Andrew S. Rubin, Cymtec Systems President and CEO, said, "This is an incredible partnership for Cymtec, and a tremendous technology win for Cymtec's customers and companies in the SMB market. By delivering Webroot's detection capability within Cymtec Sentry, we are now ensuring an unsurpassed level of protection for environments that are typically unsecured altogether.

Cymtec Sentry delivers innovative anti-malware detection, policy and web enforcement, traffic analysis, and quality of service (QoS) that is affordable and easy to use and maintain. Webroot antispyware technology is now integrated with the unique Dynamic Threat Protection (DTP) Engine, which is at the heart of Cymtec Sentry. The DTP Engine consists of multiple best-of-breed detection filters which together protect against a multitude of threats and violations, including spyware and malware.
The combination of Cymtec Sentry with Webroot antispyware gives small businesses and branch offices and organizations access to a cost-effective, enterprise-class defense against threats. Designed for organizations with limited IT resources, the appliance provides seamless integration, efficiency and small memory requirements, making it easy for SMBs to protect intellectual property, compliance, network stability and other valuable assets.
Cymtec Systems develops network security and performance management products and services that deliver unmatched simplicity of use and the industry's lowest cost of ownership.

Qatar media most friendly to Sudan issues, Lebanon most hostile
Dubai, UAE, 24th April 2012: Mediastow, the leading media intelligence agency in MENA region, has released its 2011 Media Report on Sudan that monitored prominent newspapers in the Arab world to gauge the perception of the Arab media of Sudan as a country and the way they report its news.
The summary of the report, which covered Arab print media in Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar and the UAE, dwells on the political environment in Sudan marked by comprehensive peace agreements and ending in the partition agreement.
Mo Elzubeir, CEO, Mediastow said: "This report provides a clear insight into how the Arab media perceives Sudan as a country. We have also measured the friendliness index of Arab media on Sudan. The report reveals that Qatar and Bahrain have a friendly approach to Sudanese issues; for every 1.27 negative articles, we got one positive article in Qatar while in Bahrain there are 2.8 negative articles for every one positive article. Newspapers in UAE, Kuwait, Egypt and KSA discussed Sudanese issues neutrally, as reflected in one positive article for every 3.5 in UAE, 4.1 in Kuwait, 4.25 in Egypt and 4.6 in Saudi Arabia."
On the other hand, print media in Jordan, Oman and Lebanon dealt with Sudanese issues aggressively, as reflected in one positive clipping for every 6.2 clippings in Jordan, 10.1 in Oman and 15.6 in Lebanon.
The media report monitored, analysed and classified 18,000 clippings from newspapers and magazines in the Arab countries mentioned above, to provide a comprehensive picture of Sudan's visibility in the Arab media in 2011.
The report says that the political mentions took a significant lead in 2011 with 12,831 clippings, while social mentions were almost totally absent, having an average of less than half an article in a month in almost all the countries covered by report.
General coverage consisting of 347 clippings featured a variety of positive, neutral and negative topics, such as economic factors (droughts and inflation) and their impact on the people's life and mentions on public discontent and food aid.
The report points out that there was a considerable amount of positive general coverage for forums and events, while business mentions reached 1,617 clippings that varied between positive and negative, covering deals, projects, new productions and bilateral cooperation with other countries.
Currency wars, business impact of tensions, plummeting of the pound and shortening of the sugar supply were the dominant negative business topics of the year according to the Mediastow 2011 report.

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick planned to seek $30 million to cover the initial costs stemming from a testing scandal at a state drug lab that threatens to unravel thousands of criminal cases.
The governor separately agreed Wednesday to a request from the state's attorney general to name an independent investigator to examine broader issues surrounding the now-closed lab.
Annie Dookhan, a former chemist at the Boston lab, is accused of skirting protocols and faking drug test results. She has pleaded not guilty to obstructing justice. Officials said she tested more than 60,000 drug samples involving about 34,000 individuals over a nine-year period at the lab.
Patrick will file an appropriations bill with the Legislature on Thursday to cover costs associated with the scandal for at least the next several months for the state's court system, prosecutors, public defenders and other agencies, Secretary of Administration and Finance Jay Gonzalez said in a conference call.
The money would come from one-time tax and legal settlements exceeding $10 million that are normally deposited into the state's stabilization fund, commonly known as the "rainy day" fund. If settlements fall short of the $30 million needed, the remainder would be drawn from money already in the reserve account.
Gonzalez said it was too early to pin down the ultimate cost of the scandal and said additional appropriations could be necessary in the future.
"This is a very unique situation," he said. "I think we have an obligation to address the issues associated with this and to fund the costs that agencies are going to incur."
"In so doing, we also have an obligation to the taxpayers to ensure that we aren't funding anything other than that," he added.
Coakley, who is conducting the criminal investigation into the alleged mishandling of drug evidence, asked earlier Wednesday for the appointment of an independent investigator to look into broader issues surrounding the testing scandal.
"The failure at the Hinton Lab represents a major breakdown of the criminal justice system, and I know your office shares our commitment to fixing it and restoring faith in our system," her top deputy wrote in a letter to Patrick's chief-of-staff, calling for the outside review of the policies, practices and oversight at the lab.
The governor had originally requested that Coakley, in addition to her prosecution of Dookhan, conduct the broader review of the lab to determine if failures may have impacted other cases beyond those handled by a single chemist.
Kimberly Haberlin, a spokeswoman for Patrick, said the governor felt the attorney general was capable of an impartial review of the lab's operations but nevertheless agreed to the request for the outside probe. The review would be "critical to assessing the integrity of the entire lab and ensuring the criminal justice system meets its obligations to fairness," Haberlin said.
The governor will work quickly to identify and appoint the independent investigator, she added.
Coakley will continue to handle the criminal investigation.
The call for an outside review was initially made in a letter sent to Coakley last week by several legal groups, including the Massachusetts Bar Association and the state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.
The groups, which stressed that the request was not intended as criticism of the attorney general, said it was important that the probe be perceived as fully independent so that public confidence could be restored in the criminal justice system.
Carol Rose, executive director of the Massachusetts ACLU, applauded Coakley's decision.
"An independent investigator must be unencumbered by any real or potential conflict of interest, with complete control over the investigation's scope, taking it wherever the facts lead," Rose said in a statement Wednesday.
Beyond the allegations against Dookhan, Rose said the scandal raised questions about whether others violated protocol, including lab employees, prosecutors and members of law enforcement.
The state's trial court has been holding special sessions to consider challenges from defense attorneys who are seeking to have sentences for clients put on hold and bail granted to defendants already serving prison time in cases in which Dookhan tested suspected drugs. Many such requests have already been granted.
Gonzalez said the $30 million, if approved by lawmakers, would go into a fund maintained by his office. Agencies seeking to draw from the fund would have to submit documentation showing the request was directly related to the drug lab crisis.
The Legislature has ended formal sessions for the year, complicating the process of passing the bill. The measure could be approved during an informal session, but a single objection from any lawmaker would scuttle such a plan and force the measure to wait for resumption of formal sessions in January.
Gonzalez said he had spoken Wednesday with the leaders of the House and Senate Ways and Means committees and was hoping for speedy action.

The car is no place to be during a storm.
We know you're not always at home when severe weather hits. Tonight's storm is expected to bring some heavy winds. It has people asking what you should do in the event a storm hits and you get stuck in your car. If you're driving on the road and get caught in a storm, unfortunate 40/29 news found there are no safe options just less dangerous ones.
Fayetteville Fire Chief Travis Boudrey tells us the first thing you need to do is pull over and get out of your car. "A lot of people are traveling from point a to point b during a thunderstorm or a tornado and we advise people to get out of their car as soon as they can if they see a tornado coming towards them and go to a low lying area," said Boudrey.
Boudrey said to look for a ditch to take cover. If you're not by a ditch, look for a yard, a field or any sort of building. But the chief said your best safety plan is planning to stay off the road. Boudrey said your car is probably one of the most dangerous places you can be in a storm. "Now if they are out in an automobile and they do get stuck in a tornado that's when they're going to have to do the very best they can with what they have and that may mean exiting the vehicle," said Boudrey.
The Fayetteville Fire Department showed 40/29 news techniques a person can use if their ever in a road situation during a storm. "We're going to have to get in the safety position to protect our body and head and neck. The first thing we're going to do is get down on the ground and place your hands behind your neck and we're going to get as low to the ground as we possibly can and we're going to stay here till the tornado's pass or you feel like you're out of danger" said Boudrey.
If you are afraid to get out of your car, the storm prevention center says to buckle your seat belt and duck like this but the winds could still blow the car away. The Fayetteville fire department recommends waiting for a storm to pass before getting on the road.

I found the Lomo Saltado dish simply delicious and the beef was a quality cut. I like the savory seasoning of the dishes I went with my girlfriend and we had a polite waiter that gave us good service. The pictures of Peru are enjoyable to watch, quiet and relaxing atmosphere.
Haven't tried the food but Penelope at the bar is quick with service and very friendly. Drinks were cheap, around 3 bux for our Smirnoffs I think. The girl DJ was smokin and had us dancing all night!!!
