Facebook 'Likes' Considered Key Evidence In 'Terrorist' Plot
from the signal-of-intent? deptWe've written a few times about how the FBI has been doing a bang up job foiling its own terrorist plots, so we're a bit skeptical every time we see headlines of some giant "terrorist bust." Almost every time, once you dig into the details, it involves some gullible, confused suckers who had no actual connection to terrorists, but were led along by FBI agents and informers until they were "convinced" to take part in a "plot" that was entirely concocted by the FBI. The latest headline-grabbing case of "arrested terrorists" actually appears like it may have slightly more substance, however, in that they may have actually had some sort of connection to al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
That doesn't mean that there still aren't some oddities in the case, however. As a number of folks have sent over, reading through the indictment (also embedded below) shows that a significant chunk of the "evidence" seems to consist of Facebook "likes" and shared content among the accused. From the indictment:
I have reviewed several of the social media web sites for KABIR, SANTANA, DELEON, each of whom has posted radical prom jihad content on their respective pages. Additionally, portions of the social media show that DELEON and SANTANA "liked" postings on KABIR's Facebook page as early as May 2011.There is, of course, other evidence including statements made by all the defendants. For all we know they may have actually been planning attacks on US targets and the indictment is entirely appropriate. But it certainly gives pause to suggest that "likes" and "shares" on Facebook are somehow evidence of terrorist intent. It could certainly be seen as having a chilling effect for anyone who might "like" or "share" content on Facebook that is critical of the US government.
Public items posted by KABIR to his social media accounts include photographs of himself, non-extremist content, radical Islamist content, and items reflecting a mistrust of mainstream media, abuses by the government, conspiracy theories, abuses by law enforcement, and the war in Afghanistan. KABIR's radical postings include videos and links to videos of Al-Qa'ida leader Anwar Al-Awlagi and his lectures, jihad--based videos regarding Afghanistan and elsewhere, videos depicting mujahideen fighters in Afghanistan and elsewhere, videos depicting terrorist training camps and related activities, videos depicting improvised explosive device attacks, and articles regarding the death of American soldiers in Afghanistan. For example, on July 6, 2012, KABIR shared a video to his public Facebook page entitled "Knights of Khorasan Islamic Emirate Operation Against an Army Base in Margha." This video, which I have reviewed, depicts a suicide bombing operation against a large base wherein the suicide- bomber drives an explosives-laden truck into a base and detonates it. The video bears the symbol of As-Sahab, Al-- Qa'ida's media wing, in the lower right corner.
KABIR has "shared" several postings with SANTANA and/or DELEON, both of whom have "liked" or commented on several other postings by KABIR, including the following:a. On December 7, 2011, KABIR posted a video entitled "Black Flags of Khorasan: Part 2" that he later "shared" with DELEON.- (Based on my training and experience, conversations with other agents, and research of publicly available information, the black flag or banner refers to a traditional flag flown by Muhammad and later by Islamic military leaders. More recently, several jihadi groups and terrorists have adopted the black flag as a symbol for jihad and mujahideen fighters.)On September 17, 2012 SANTANA "liked" KABIR's post of an article entitled "A Public Talk by Ustadz Abu M Jibriel AR: The Truth of The 9/11 Jihad Operation, The Plots Of The Enemies and The Zionist Conspiracy."
b. On or about January 5, 2012, KABIR shared a link regarding negotiating with the Taliban. SANTANA "liked" the post and SANTANA and KABIR engaged in a public exchange of comments. SANTANA said, "they messed up know?" KABIR followed SANTANA's comment with a comment that appeared to include excerpts of a "Statement of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan," which discussed the Taliban's desire to expel the United States from, and establish their own government in, Afghanistan. SANTANA replied to KABIR's comment by writing "Oh yea!!!!"
c. On January 5, 2012, KABIR posted a photo on his Facebook page depicting a veiled and covered woman leaning on an assault rifle. DELEON and KABIR exchanged comments on the photo wherein DELEON said "...hey bro are coming back? whats goin on? how long gona stay there?" KABIR replied "Naa.. not comin back... movin 4wd.... =D.... 1/2 way 2 my destination.. =D."
(Based on the context of this statement, including the fact that KABIR was then in Germany, I believe that KABIR intended to inform DELEON that he had commenced his journey to Afghanistan.)
d. On January 19, 2012, DELEON "liked" a shared link posted on KABIR's page of a video entitled "Dua of Sheikh Muhammad al Mohaisany masjid al haram makkah." The video, which I have reviewed as posted on KABIR's page, appears to be a prayer for the success of the mujahideen and features various photos including Al--Qa'ida leaders Usama Bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahiri, 9/11 attacks, bloodied adults and children, and Islamic fighters. The video also calls for the liberation of Al-Aqsa, the mosque referenced in the 1998 Al-Qa'ida fatwa described above.
e. On February 13, 2012, SANTANA "liked" two shared video links on KABIR's page, including one for a video entitled "Imam Anwar al Awlaki -- A Story of Courage."
f. On May 28, 2012, KABIR posted two stories regarding the death of Al-Qa'ida leader Usama Bin Laden. DELEON "liked" both stories; SANTANA "liked" one.
g. On June 16, 2012, SANTANA "liked" a video, produced by Al--Qa'ida's media wing, As-Sahab, shared by KABIR to his Facebook page entitled "Ghuraba." This video, which I have reviewed, appears to depict life as a mujahideen fighter and includes several interviews. The video also features mujahideen fighters firing artillery.
h. On July 5, 2012, KABIR posted a photo featuring Al-Qa'ida leader Anwar Al-Awlaqi which contained a quote from Al-Awlaqi. DELEON "liked" and "shared" the photo.
i. On September 16, 2012, DELEON "liked" KABIR's shared link to a video entitled "The Truth Has Come and Falsehood has perished Part 1 Urdu." This video, which I have reviewed, is a production by As-Sahab and begins with footage of Al-Awlaqi and discusses the war in Afghanistan. The video also features current Al-Qa'ida leader Ayman Al-Zawahiri.

Kill Bill star Michael Madsen has courted controversy by walking the runway at a fashion show wearing a jacket stuffed with knives just days after designer Philipp Plein sent models down the catwalk waving machine guns.
The actor took part in a presentation for the G-Star Raw brand in Berlin, Germany on Wednesday (16Jan13) and he wore a denim jacket armed with 10 blades in special pockets and two large machetes strapped to his back.
Stephen Dorff was among the famous faces in the front row to see Madsen on the catwalk for G-Star, which has previously featured Liv Tyler as a model.
Madsen's stunt comes just days after German designer Plein attracted worldwide criticism for arming male models with machine guns during his show at Milan Fashion Week in Italy.
Several of the men waved semi-automatic weapons and had slogans such as "Only kill for real love" inked on their bare chests, leading to accusations the designer should have been more sensitive to the topic of gun control following the Connecticut school massacre in the U.S. last month (Dec12).

My name is Courtney and I saw Face to Face while researching grants for woman and domestic violence. I have been looking into starting a support group for woman as I am a survivor of a 5 yr domestic violence relationship. I am writing to you because during this relationship, I began picking at my skin. It became a nervous habit that I used to numb myself from the pain and reality of my life. Picking created an escape for me. You can imagine the damage that I caused myself. It has been a constant reminder of that pain and what I have overcome every time I look in the mirror. It affects my self esteem and self worth more then I can share with you and was afraid that these scars would forever be a part of me until I saw your website and caught a glimmer of hope. I am reaching out to you and asking for your help in healing. My ultimate goal is to get these scars removed and to reach out to other woman. I feel that I have a purpose in life and that purpose is to reach out to women who are going through what I did in hopes of helping as many as I can. I would love to share my story of survival with you. I cant even tell you what you would be doing for me if you made this dream come true for me.
I pray to hear a reply,
Hi Courtney,
Let me get you in touch with Ann to whom you should send your email: firstname.lastname@example.com

During my three decade career toiling in big-time television, I spent more time sitting in offices (sometimes reclining, often with my eyes closed, and snoring) than I spent down on soundstages, making shows. What follows is a thumbnail reminiscence of five of the most memorable offices I occupied.
Office Number One
I have a special fondness for my first office. (My official first office was actually for a Lily Tomlin special, but that was just for four weeks. The selected five reflect "longer stay" offices. One passing memory of that Lily Tomlin office: On our arrival, each writer was presented with a plant, a gracious gesture of "Welcome" from the star. My plant died within three days.)
Okay, back to "Office Number One."
I was working for the Mary Tyler Moore Company on the Studio City lot. (On another occasion, I will chronicle the lots.) The office assigned to me, small and windowless but perfectly adequate, and wonderful because it was mine, was a former storeroom, and after I vacated it, it became the Xerox Room. I take pride in knowing that that office never belonged to any other person, just storage stuff (before) and duplicating equipment (after). I was the only human being.
My office was directly opposite the exit door to the parking area. With my office door always open – a product of claustrophobia rather than friendliness – I felt like the doorman. I saw everyone come and go.
Slightly to the left was a winding staircase leading up to (and down from, staircases are great that way) the Second Floor. This arrangement meant that, not only did I have a view of the passing parade, but the passing parade also had a view of me. I recall many puzzled faces proceeding past my open office door wondering, "Who's the guy in the store room?" I would always wave hello.
Direct access to the exit also meant that, at my preferred departure time of four P.M. – I was a scriptwriter for all the MTM shows rather than working on a specific show's staff – I could quietly slip out the door without envious staff writers who invariably remained beyond midnight, sniping,
"Leaving early?"
Guilt-free egress is always an asset. But it pales before my most memorable experience, which took on, even then, hallucinatory proportions – it totally didn't feel real. The event occurred on the first day I took possession of my formerly storage room office.
It was lunchtime. People were leaving,via the exit door in front of me to go out someplace and eat. (I usually ate "on campus", my "lunching destination of choice", the standing "Gunsmoke Street" on the other side of the lot.)
I am sitting on my couch, probably cross-legged – I had a nimbleness back then that has long since disappeared – scribbling scriptoral nuggets on a yellow legal pad. I look up, and descending from the Second Floor, side by side, not unlike the group "walk" during the opening credits of the Law & Order franchise, are the creators of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Bob Newhart Show and Rhoda. That was the hallucinatory element. It was like a rookie ballplayer looking up and suddenly, there's the 1927 Yankees, headed directly your way.
These guys were specifically headed my way, interrupting their lunch departures to drop by and welcome the "newbie" to the MTM family. As they enter my office, I rise from the couch, unshod as was usual for me back then, and I step forward to greet Mr. Brooks and Mr. Burns and Mr. Music and Mr. Davis, names I had seen on the screen, and whose work I aspired to emulate, though I'd be happy with coming close.
As this phalanx of talent proceeds towards me, I find myself overwhelmed by their august and powerful presence. What happens next, seemingly external to my control, is that I suddenly begin to retreat, backing away from their aura, to the point where further backpedaling is impossible, as the backs of my heels have made contact with the couch. Undaunted, and still terrified, without looking behind me, I ascend the couch, and stand barefoot on the pillows, my arm extended, accepting welcoming handshakes.
I imagine they found this behavior unusual, even for a writer. But to my mind, it was no more unusual than the apparition of a gang of comedy writing all-stars swarming into my office.
Full Disclosure: My intention to cover all five offices in a single post has been derailed by my uncontrolled verbosity. Sorry. I will return to the other four in the future.
If I remember to.

I'm planning to build a computer for myself, on which I'll install Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit. This computer will be used for light gaming and office work. In order to save some money, I'm planning to use integrated graphics, but I don't know whether to choose the Intel HD Graphics 4000 (by using an Intel i5-3570K processor) or AMD Radeon 7660D graphics (by using an AMD A10-5800K processor).
According to your technical knowledge / experience, which of these two choices is the best, in terms of stability and performance? I want my system to be stable, but, at the same time, I would like to have some fancy Compiz or KWin desktop effects, and play some games.
I am more tempted to choose the AMD APU, because it's cheaper than Intel, and I have read from the Phoronix website, that this APU seems to work well, especially if using the proprietary Catalyst driver. But I still wanted to know your opinion. So, Intel or AMD integrated graphics?

I'm going to talk about Mego today and share a few links, first off I'll toot my own horn and mention that I posted a fun 1979 Wards Catalog page full of Mego Superheroes at the Mego Museum Blog. Ever wonder why I don't do a lot about Mego (and Micronauts) here? It's because it would mean me doing double the work, that's why.
Also, World's Greatest Toys has made a unique Mego Discovery, well worth a look on this fine April morning.

Ecuador's Continuing Attack on the Free Press
Last year the Ecuadorian government seized two TV channels broadcasting on public airwaves and one cable channel along with hundreds of other businesses supposedly owned by the Isaías family, an unpopular Ecuadorian business group that the government bailed out in the late nineties. In seizing those assets, the current government claimed to be cashing in on a long overdue debt owed to it by the Isaías family. Leaving the violations of due process aside, this was a significant attack on freedom of the press in Ecuador given that the two public access channels garnered almost half the country's TV audience. Back then the government said it was going to sell off the seized channels but it has not done so yet.
The last elections in my country, held on April 26, showed how government ends up manipulating state media: 79% of the political ads aired on these channels went for the official candidates despite the fact that the new electoral rules require every candidate to have equal air time.
Since those elections, Carlos Vera, the most popular morning news anchor in the country, quit his channel Ecuavisa because he claims to have been subject to the self‐censorship imposed by Ecuavisa's owner. According to Vera, the owner wanted to dictate whom he should interview on his show and chose not to air one of his interviews which, coincidentally, was with the President's main political opponent. Vera issued a public statement explaining that he would not censor his show nor would he let anybody else do so. Since then, Ecuavisa's independence has been severely questioned.
This leaves us with one important public airwaves channel that is still independent: Teleamazonas.
For the past couple of weeks there have been growing rumors that the government might shut down Teleamazonas applying the laws of Conartel, the regulator of TV and radio stations. According to Ecuadorian regulations, which have their origins in the military dictatorship of General Rodríguez Lara of the early 1970s, a TV channel or radio station can be sanctioned symbolically for $20 the first time it commits a violation; suspended for up to 90 days the second time; and lose its concession to operate for good the third time. Conartel has already imposed two sanctions on Teleamazonas.
In the first case Teleamazonas was sanctioned for showing bull fighting images, which Conartel has considered to be "conducive to violence" and thus, in violation of its regulations. This is a questionable rule, especially in a country in which bull‐fighting takes center stage every December in Quito. In the case of the second sanction Conartel is applying a clause that forbids the live reporting of unconfirmed events. Such a law would make illegal most of the news reported in CNN or other news networks that report in real time. In this particular case, Teleamazonas aired images of what appeared to be a clandestine vote‐counting center.
For now, we are waiting to hear from Conartel about the third sanction and what it is going to do about the second sanction, which would, if enforced, mean the suspension of Teleamazonas for up to 90 days. I wonder what freedom of expression Ecuadorians would be left with if the government decided to apply Conartel's rules consistently to every TV and radio station.
Meanwhile the former Minister of the Interior, Gustavo Larrea, called attention to "journalists whose salary comes from foreign powers" including the CIA, though he did not specify what individuals he was referring to.
When asked about details he merely replied that it was the duty of a legislative commission to find out. I guess he is suggesting that individuals like myself, who write for an Ecuadorian newspaper but are not employed by an Ecuadorian company, should be investigated…
What is happening in Ecuador, and what has been happening in Venezuela over the last few years — the shutdown of RCTV, and the ongoing persecution of Globovisión — shows that in countries with a weak rule of law and public ownership of the airwaves, regulations can easily serve those in power who want to silence independent voices. Nobel Laureate Ronald Coase warned Americans about this potential abuse of power in 1959 in his classic "The Federal Communications Commission." Back then he wondered, "In other fields it is almost always agreed that the use of property rights and of the price system serves the public good, why not in the case of radios [and TV]?"

Story highlights
- Aaron Greene, 31, was arrested by police on December 29
- He was initially charged with possession of an explosive substance
- Police say they have evidence that Greene allegedly planned to target a monument
- He allegedly told people he wanted to blow up the Washington Square Arch, police said
A man arrested on suspicion of possession of an explosive substance allegedly told people he planned to blow up the iconic arch in New York City's Washington Square Park, authorities say.
Aaron Greene, 31, was arrested in December after police say they discovered the explosive substance and a sawed-off shotgun in his Manhattan apartment while serving an unrelated warrant for felony grand larceny against his girlfriend, Morgan Gliedman.
As part of the investigation, New York Police Department Intelligence Division detectives found witnesses who recounted alleged conversations that Greene had with them regarding the arch, Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne told CNN on Thursday.
"I'm making bombs," Greene allegedly told witnesses, according to Browne.
"What for?" the witnesses asked, the deputy commissioner said.
"To blow up the arch," Greene allegedly replied, Browne said.
Formally known as the Washington Square Arch, it was built in the early 1890s and is modeled after the famed Arc de Triomphe in Paris. It was formally dedicated at the park in 1895, and today it is considered one of Greenwich Village's iconic landmarks.
Greene, according to Browne, tested a small amount of the explosives -- believed to be hexamethylene triperoxide diamine, or HMTD -- in the park to demonstrate the power of the explosives to the witnesses.
During the test, Browne blew up a small amount of the chemical by hitting it with a rock, which caused it to ignite and cause a small explosion, Browne said.
Police issued no public reports of an explosion at the park at the time witnesses said the incident allegedly occurred.
A week ago, law enforcement sources speaking on condition of anonymity said Greene allegedly set off a small explosion in front of witnesses inside his apartment. That's what initially led witnesses to alert the NYPD that Greene possessed explosive chemicals, said the sources, who were not authorized to release details of the investigation to the media.
After Greene was arrested, he was questioned by police about whether he had other weapons. He allegedly told police "he had given them to a friend in law enforcement," Browne said.
Police say Greene did not identify the so-called friend, but investigators identified him as Daniel Whittaker, 33, in Orangeberg, NY.
Authorities say they discovered a cache of firearms in Whittaker's home. "We found 21 guns, including an Uzi and assault weapon, a switchblade, brass knuckles and a stun gun," said Browne.
Whittaker has not been charged by the NYPD, Browne said.
Whittaker is a suspended corrections officer in Rockland County, NY, Browne said. Prosecutors say he is currently on trial in Rockland County on charges of drug possession and fleeing an officer.
His attorney in that case, Joey Jackson, said that while Whittaker knows Greene, he had no knowledge of Greene's alleged criminal activities and was not guilty by association. Jackson is a CNN legal analyst.
Investigators also say they discovered undated letters allegedly written by Greene at Whittaker's home.
"In one, Greene says his parents have sent him to Greece because they're concerned if he stayed in New York, he'd kill 100 people," Browne said.
"On another piece of paper, he also wrote the word 'kill' dozens of times and 'kill them all.'"
Greene also drew a symbol, according to Browne, that was the same one used by the Nazi Schutzstaffel, commonly known as the "SS".
"It looks like two lightning bolts," he said.
Police say Greene was arrested on December 29 after they discovered a plastic container with seven grams of the explosive in the apartment he shared with 27-year-old Gliedman.
In addition officers also found the sawed-off shotgun and multiple rounds of ammunition, police said. "The biggest cause of concern is the explosive," Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told CNN.
Police said they also discovered what they described as manuals about how to make explosive materials and bombs, including a collection of pages with a cover page titled "The Terrorist Encyclopedia."
Greene and Gliedman were each charged with felony criminal possession of a weapon in the first degree and second degrees, the district attorney's office said, adding that when the charges against the pair may be amended.
Gliedman, who was pregnant at the time of her arrest, also was charged with felony grand larceny involving credit card theft.
Shortly after her arrest, Gliedman went into labor and gave birth to a daughter who she named Melody, Browne said.
Gliedman was released Tuesday on $150,000 bond, according to the district attorney's office. Greene is being held without bond.
The pair are scheduled to be arraigned in a Manhattan court on January 29.
Greene's attorney, Lisa Pelosi, and Gliedman's attorney, Gerald Shargel, both declined a CNN request Thursday for comment.

An 18th-Century Trades Sampler
a photographic essay by 1999 Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute participants

Printer & Bookbinder
Hear ye! Hear ye! All the news that's fit to print plus office supplies, magazines, maps, almanacs, bound books, stitch books, business forms, blank books and more! These are some of the products found in the 18th-century post office. Many of them are printed and bound in the press room and bindery.
William Parks was Williamsburg's first printer. He came to Williamsburg in 1730 to do government printing and commercial work. He also established a post office, a bindery and, for a few years, a paper mill. One of the most important products produced was a newspaper, the Virginia Gazette.
Pieces of type arranged in a composing stick formed words and sentences. Once the type was set it was put on a wooden tray called a galley. Type was slid from a galley on to an imposing table and locked in an iron frame. Then it was placed on the bed of the press. A worker called a beater applied ink made of lampblack and varnish. Varnish was made from linseed oil and resin. The beater used two wood-handled, wool-stuffed, leather-covered ink balls to beat ink on the type. Damp paper was attached to a leather-covered frame called a timpan.
The pressman operated the press. He laid the paper on the type, moved the bed under the platen, (a block of wood), and pulled the bar to lower the platen to make the impression on the paper. Each impression took about 15 seconds. The beater and the pressman, working together, produced 180 -240 sheet per hour.
The bookbinder took the printed pages and made them ready for sale in the post office. The binder's work included folding, pressing, sewing, and trimming the pages to construct the finished pamphlet or small book. Small inexpensive books were called "stitch books."
Binding books was a 28 step process. Groups of printed pages called signatures were laid on a sewing frame and stitched to cords at the back fold with linen thread. These cords formed horizontal ridges across the spine, a mark of a finely bound book even today. Covering material of bound books was made of thin leather (usually sheep or calf skin) or a combination of leather and decorated paper. The most common bound book sold in the post office was a blank book used by planters for their crop records, tradesmen for their business records, churches, and courthouses.
Paste paper was a common method of covering stitch books. Paint made from flour and water and dye was applied to paper. Special combs drawn across the paper created distinctive patterns. Just as bound books were more expensive than stitched books, a pamphlet or small book covered with paste paper was more expensive than one with no cover.
18th century pizza cutters? No, indeed. These are finishing tools used by binders to embellish and press designs on leather covers for fine bound books. The wheels were heated with fireplace coals in a small iron box (brazier). Occasionally, 23 carat gold leaf was pressed onto the leather covers as well.

Green Products
Green pool products are those devices that save energy or save water, or purify your pool water by natural means. Pools built recently are typically designed to be more environmentally friendly, but older pools with standard equipment can become less wasteful with modern technologies designed to reduce water loss and energy use.
Reduce: The amount of energy you consume and start using renewable energy sources, such as wind power and solar power. Sign up for Green Energy with your local power provider. If they don't have it, then tell them to get it.
Reuse: By using products made with recycled materials. Make or buy a compost bin to use your organic waste as fertilizer for your trees, shrubs, and garden. Fix things instead of replacing them. Buy longer lasting stuff. Give away your old stuff to new owners.
Recycle: Paper, Plastic and Aluminum yes, but also you can recycle by giving away your old stuff to help others.
The Green Section at POOLCENTER.com is dedicated to give you the best environmentally responsible eco-products.

Colorado women's basketball team optimistic as practices begin
BOULDER — The Colorado women's basketball team opened fall practices Tuesday afternoon, getting a jump on the CU men's team which must wait until Friday night's "Buffs Madness."
CU women's coach Linda Lappe said she couldn't wait to get started. Colorado, 21-14 last season (6-12 in Pac-12) and a participant in the WNIT, said this team has a good blend of experience and youth.
The roster includes seniors Chucky Jeffery and Meagan Malcolm-Peck and four juniors. Jeffery (15.5 points, 8.0 rebounds) is among the top players in the Pac-12.
"This is the first time we have juniors and seniors with a lot of game experience," said Lappe, in her third season since taking over at her alma mater. "We had a great preseason and we're excited."
Although Colorado returned four starters off last year's team (losing 6-3 Julie Seabrook), Lappe said she expects contributions from each of the three true freshmen: 6-foot-1 Lauren Huggins of Heritage High School in Littleton; 6-2 Jamee Swan of Tucson (Ariz.) Marana and 5-7 Kyleesha Weston of Park Hill High School in Kansas City, Mo.
"They all bring something different," Lappe said. "I think all three of them are way ahead of where our freshmen were in other years."
Also anxious to make her debut is redshirt freshman Arielle Roberson, a 6-1 forward from San Antonio (Texas) Wagner and sister of CU men's basketball standout Andre Roberson. Arielle underwent back surgery last fall and sat out the 2011-12 season.
The Colorado women's hoops team will join the men's squad Friday night in the Coors Events Center for "Buffs Madness" to kick off the start of hoops season. Madness activities, which are free to the public, will immediately follow the 7 p.m. CU women's volleyball match against Arizona State. The volleyball match also will have free admission.

Creator: Fernandez, Raquel, 1959- and Rogerson, Richard Donald Series: Law and economics of federalism Abstract:
This paper examines the effect of different education financing systems on the level and distribution of resources devoted to public education. We focus on California, which in the 1970's was transformed from a system of mixed local and state financing to one of effectively pure state finance and subsequently saw its funding of public education fall between ten and fifteen percent relative to the rest of the US. We show that a simple political economy model of public finance can account for the bulk of this drop. We find that while the distribution of spending became more equal, this was mainly at the cost of a large reduction in spending in the wealthier communities with little increase for the poorer districts. Our model implies that there is no simple trade-off between equity and resources; we show that if California had moved to the opposite extreme and abolished state aid altogether, funding for public education would also have dropped by almost ten percent.

County jails are beginning to fill up in many parts of Arkansas, a logical consequence of the Arkansas Department of Correction reaching its capacity for housing inmates.
State news organizations reported on Oct. 25 that the state prison system had reached a record of 14,343 inmates that week — 106.4 percent of capacity for men and 107.2 percent of capacity for women. At the time another 2,144 prisoners were in county jails waiting for beds to open up in the state prison system.
That's what happens when you get tough on crime. Start putting those criminals in jail, and sooner or later you run out of space.
Overcrowding in the state prisons is a necessary, but hopefully temporary result of legislative attempts to fix a broken state parole system, which took effect last summer, not long after the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported on the murder of an 18-year-old youth by an 8-time parole absconder.
The new policies require, among other things, that any parolee awaiting a revocation hearing be kept locked up until the hearing, that any parolee who fails to report to his parole officer at least twice be jailed and that any parolee charged with a new violent crime must be kept in custody.
Between July and September 514 people had their parole revoked, according to the Democrat-Gazette. In the entire fiscal year 2013, which ended June 30, the number of revocations was only 433.
But that doesn't count the number of people who waived a hearing and were sent directly back to prison — about 800 more — or the people awaiting a revocation hearing in county jails.
When the state prisons fill up, it has a ripple effect on county jails because there is nowhere to take a convicted criminal sentenced to time in a state facility.
The Jonesboro Sun reported Thursday that the Craighead County Detention Center was housing 326 inmates as of the previous Monday. That's short of the 440-bed capacity but 60 more inmates than at the same time a year ago. The inmates included 87 state-sentenced inmates, 32 of whom were awaiting transfer and many of the rest awaiting a hearing.
Sheriff Marty Boyd said he expects this is be a problem for years to come, and that's just one county, of course.
I found similar reports from several other counties. The Boone County jail on Sunday reported an inmate roster of 87, 13 short of capacity. Baxter County reported an inmate roster of 81, five short of a record. The St. Francis County roster on Monday listed 108, 12 short of capacity. Faulkner County's jail, which has a capacity of 462, showed 450 inmates on Monday.
The Mississippi County sheriff, Dale Cook, reported to the Quorum Court last month that jail expenses are running high because of an inmate population of 172, including about 40 waiting for state prison space. The average is about 130.
The state pays $28 a day for each inmate housed in a county jail.
The state Department of Correction has additional capacity available. Prison officials told the Arkansas News Bureau recently that 446 beds could be opened immediately at four different facilities if the department had $8 million to operate them. And the old diagnostic unit could be remodeled to house another 550 inmates, but that would cost at least $16 million.
At a legislative hearing in late October state Rep. Terry Rice, R-Waldron, told prison officials to keep them up to date on the prison population issue. "We need to know what's going on," Rice said. "There has been a lot of change."
Unfortunately, the changes made by the Legislature earlier this year in the parole system didn't address the additional costs of handling all those parolees who would have to be kept in jail and-or sent back to prison. That's still a fluid situation, in fact, and the numbers could level off after a while.
One of the prime movers in the parole system issue has been state Sen. David Sanders, R-Little Rock, who sponsored two of the new laws forcing changes in policy. Act 1029 requires the state Parole Board to issue a warrant for the arrest of a parolee who has committed a violent or sexual felony while on parole. Act 485 makes those convicted of sexual offenses and other serious felonies no longer eligible for mandatory parole.
I asked Sanders by e-mail for a reaction to the jail and prison crowding situation, and he indicated that he's working on the issue.
"We'll get those beds open [referring to the 446 ready but not funded for operations], but I am working on a longer-term strategy for both DCC [Department of Community Correction] and ADC," he said.
Presumably, the lack of funding could be addressed in next year's legislative fiscal session, but further changes in parole and prison policies would have to wait for the general session in 2015.
There is no cheap fix short of housing inmates outside, and who wants that in their neighborhood? If you're going to put them in jail or prison, you've got to pay to keep them there.

Don't Allow Americans' Voting Rights to be Attacked
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder visited the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library in Austin on Tuesday to address potential new barriers between citizens and their right to vote.
Speaking at the library, which honors the service of an American who fought for the seminal Voting Rights Act of 1965 and opened the doors to our democracy for millions of Americans, the attorney general acknowledged that this work continues, declaring: "Ensuring that every veteran, every senior, every college student, and every eligible citizen has the right to vote must become our common cause. And, for all Americans, protecting this right, ensuring meaningful access and combating discrimination must be viewed, not only as a legal issue but as a moral imperative."
We have a long history of struggle over the right to vote in this country. Yet, again and again, we have reaffirmed the principle that every American adult has an equal right to cast a ballot without the requirement of a poll tax or discrimination based on race, sex or age.
It was this principle that motivated those who were beaten and bloodied while trying to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., the year LBJ finally succeeded in passing the Voting Rights Act. They sang about overcoming injustice while the truncheons came down upon them, and they would not relent in their efforts to have their constitutional right to vote honored. One of us was a participant in the march; both of us have been there to commemorate it many times.
The exercise of this right is under threat again. Not from batons or water hoses but from those intent on hindering access to the ballot for the perverse purpose of manipulating elections. We cannot afford to allow access to the voting booth to be granted or denied based on political expediency.
The decision in November 2012 over the direction of our country is too important not to ensure every voice is heard. That is why Democrats in the House of Representatives will be working closely with the Congressional Black Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, and voting-rights groups to make certain that all who have the right to vote can do so and have their votes counted. This is the commitment we made when we passed the Help America Vote Act, which sought to address widespread ballot disqualifications in the 2000 election and set guidelines to prevent it from reoccurring. It remains our commitment today.
We will not sit idly by while Republican lawmakers in state legislatures raise barriers to ballot access for minorities, young people and low-income families.
New measures introduced in several states would mandate government-issued, current photo identification for all wishing to vote. However, as many as one in four African Americans do not carry the necessary forms of identification to vote under these conditions and would be hit hard by these new laws. For college students, many school-issued identification cards also do not fit the strict requirements. In some places, one will be able to vote by showing a gun permit but not a student ID, even one with a photo and issued by a local, accredited academic institution.
This means hours of waiting in line or dealing with bureaucracy to obtain new identification cards — and in the process asks those working multiple jobs while raising families to spend time they simply don't have. It also means fees for identification cards, which, essentially, are a new and restrictive poll tax for those unable to afford them.
New laws would also restrict opportunities for early voting or voter registration. African Americans and Latinos make use of early voting, especially opportunities to vote on the Sunday before Election Day, disproportionately compared with other groups. According to the Brennan Center for Justice, a third of those who cast ballots on the Sunday before the 2008 general election were African Americans, and nearly a quarter were Latinos.
Those supporting these measures have contended they are a solution to alleged widespread voter fraud. However, the measures are a solution in search of a problem.
Overwhelming evidence shows that such fraud is extremely rare and has no significant impact on our elections. It is, though, an expedient excuse for denying the vote to those who have traditionally cast ballots in larger numbers for the other party.
We are encouraged that Holder, in his address, reaffirmed the Justice Department's commitment to defend the Voting Rights Act and the principles behind it by helping to safeguard ballot access for all who are eligible.
The right to vote is the basic instrument of our equality and the method by which we hold our leaders accountable and preserves the legitimacy of our representative form of government. It is a right worth fighting for, and Democrats are ready to do so again this year.

Pittsburgh Public Schools to hold Magnet Information Fair
October 3, 2006
Parents seeking information about Pittsburgh Public Schools magnet programs are encouraged to attend the District's Magnet Information Fair, Saturday, Oct. 7.
The fair will take place from 1 – 3 p.m. at Frick International Studies Academy, 107 Thackeray Street next to Children's Hospital in Oakland. Magnet schools and programs provide students opportunities to pursue special interest, talents or career goals.
Students who enroll in a magnet program are expected to remain in the program for at least one school year and must maintain satisfactory attendance, citizenship and academic progress, or the transfer may be rescinded and the student may be returned to the school of assignment.
Magnet options have a set number of spaces, with 50 percent reserved for African American and 50 percent for students of other races in order to preserve a racial balance.
Staff, parents and students will be on hand to educate parents about the magnet options available at the elementary, middle and high school levels.
General registration for district magnet programs will take place November 1 – 15. Preferred registration will run October 9 – 20. Students who are eligible for preferred registration include:
Program Preference: Students may continue from elementary to middle or from middle to high school in the same magnet program if they are enrolled in the Traditional Academy magnet or the International Studies magnet. Weil students who meet academic entrance exams will have preference to the Schenley Technological Studies Magnet.
Sibling Preference: Preference is given to the younger sibling of any child who is attending the same magnet in the same school where the younger sibling is applying. Both siblings must attend the same school/magnet during the 2007-2008 school year.
Geographic Preference: Geographic Preference to certain magnets is offered subject to space and racial balance. Geographic area is determined by the elementary attendance area in which a student resides. Applicants with limited mobility will be given geographic preference to the magnet they apply to, regardless of where they live, if the magnet gives geographic preference.
Additional information regarding magnet schools and programs can be found at the Pittsburgh Public Schools website at http://www.pps.k12.pa.us/MagnetRegistrationInfromation.asp. Copies of "Public School Choices" can be picked up at district schools or by calling the Division of Communications and Marketing at 412-622-3615.
High school options described in "Public School Choices" and on the district Website may change based on the High School Reform plan expected to be released in April 2007.

Having bought and sold (or traded) a couple of cars recently, I wanted to share some insight on determining the value of a used car. As it turns out, there are multiple sources for this info, including both Edmunds and the Kelley Blue Book (KBB).
But guess what? These sources often give divergent answers, with KBB values typically being significantly higher than those provided by Edmunds. So which is right? How do you know how much your car is worth?
Since KBB typically gives higher values than Edmunds, the answer should be clear: KBB is better if you're selling, and Edmunds is better if you're buying. 😉
Just kidding. Mostly. The truth is that used car values can be difficult to accurately quantify and no tool will do a perfect job. There's just too much variation in vehicle condition, the owner's skewed perception of their vehicle's condition, local demand, etc.
In the end, a car is worth what someone will pay for it. But still… You need a list price as a jumping off point. Aim high and nobody will come to look at your car. Aim too low and you'll wind up selling it for much less than you could have gotten for it.
This is where Edmunds and KBB come in… They give you a baseline for trade-in (and retail) values as well as market values when selling to (or buying from) a private party.
While most online appraisal tools include a geographic correction based on your zip code, I'm not convinced that these effectively zero out the geographic variation in car values. Thus, you should also check the newspaper or Craigslist to get a better feel for you local market.
The same goes for vehicle condition. Edmunds will ask if your car is damaged, rough, average, clean, or in outstanding condition. Likewise, KBB will ask if it's fair, good, very good, or excellent. These determinations have a major effect on the numbers and, while both sites provide some guidelines, but beauty is often in the eye of the beholder.
Okay, back to the question at hand… My own personal experience has been that values provided by Edmunds are much closer to reality than those provided by KBB. In fact, I've found that Kelley Blue Book values are often significantly inflated. In other words, they're nice to think about (if you're selling) but don't hold your breath.
A third source is the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) which is arguably more relevant than either Edmunds or KBB. In my experience, both NADA and Edmunds give similar values which, again, are more reflective of reality than those provided by KBB.
P.S. When talking about Blue Book values, it's "Kelley" (with an 'e') not "Kelly".

Game 6, UMBC vs. Towson Game Notes
America East Game Notes
BALTIMORE – UMBC women's basketball continues its four-game road swing on Tuesday, Nov. 26 when it travels to battle local-rival Towson. Game time is set 5 p.m. at SECU Arena, followed by a 7:30 p.m. matchup between the Retrievers' men's basketball team taking on the Tiger men.
SCOUTING THE RETRIEVERS (1-4): Despite the Retrievers holding the Northeast Conference preseason favorite Robert Morris to 29.5 percent shooting from the floor, UMBC fell on Saturday, 51-39, for its fourth consecutive loss. Freshman guard Taylor McCarley led UMBC in scoring with nine points, while rookie forward Sara Tabert battled double-teams to contribute eight points and seven rebounds.
Tarbert recorded double-digit points in her first four games of the season and is averaging 17.2 points per game on the year. The first-year forward ranks first in the America East in minutes per game (38.2), is second in scoring and third in rebounding (7.8). Freshman point guard Emily Russo is chipping in 8.0 points per game and 4.4 rebounds.
SCOUTING THE TIGERS (1-4): Towson has dropped four of its first five games, including Saturday's 90-53 loss to No. 8 Maryland. The Tigers only victory of the season came in the form of a 20-point win against Manhattan on Nov. 16. Senior guard Tanisha McTiller led Towson against the Terps with a season-high 25 points, while sophomore guard Dominique Johnson chipped in 11 points and five assists.
McTiller nearly has 100 points on the season through five games, as she is averaging a team-best 19.8 points to go with 9.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists. Red-shirt junior forward LaTorri Hines-Allen is shooting 40.3 percent from the floor and is also contributing double-digit points for the Tigers, at 13.2 points and pulling down 7.0 boards a game.
INSIDE THE SERIES: Towson has won two in a row in the series, including last year's 62-44 victory at the RAC Arena, in which the Retrievers shot just 29.1 percent from the floor. The Retrievers have won just four times against the Tigers on Towson's home court, but this will be the first time UMBC will travel to the newly constructed SECU Arena. UMBC and Towson competed against each other 10 times in Big South Conference games from 1991 to 1995 and met for a Big South Tournament game in 1993.
ON THE HORIZON FOR THE RETRIEVERS: Following the Thanksgiving break the Retrievers head to the Navy Classic on Nov. 29 and 30, where they will take on Rider and Brown. UMBC takes a week off before returning home for its only game at the RAC Arena in the month of December on Saturday, Dec. 7 when it takes on VCU.
