PRESS RELEASE: NY Muslim Spying Admission Confirms Discriminatory Policing
CAIR-NY: NYPD Muslim Spying Admission Confirms Discriminatory Policing
Muslim civil rights group demands immediate accountability and change
(NEW YORK, NY, 8/21/12) -- The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NY) today said that a recent admission by the New York Police Department (NYPD) that its program of spying on the Muslim community produced no criminal leads and did not result in a single terror-related case demonstrates the need for immediate policy changes to protect minority communities.
According to a report today by The Associated Press:
"In more than six years of spying on Muslim neighborhoods, eavesdropping on conversations and cataloging mosques, the New York Police Department's secret Demographics Unit never generated a lead or triggered a terrorism investigation, the department acknowledged in court testimony unsealed late Monday.
"The Demographics Unit is at the heart of a police spying program, built with help from the CIA, which assembled databases on where Muslims lived, shopped, worked and prayed. Police infiltrated Muslim student groups, put informants in mosques, monitored sermons and cataloged every Muslim in New York who adopted new, Americanized surnames."
The revelation came from a June 28 deposition by Assistant Chief Thomas Galati, who said: "I never made a lead from rhetoric that came from a Demographics report."

SEE: The Deposition
In a statement, CAIR-NY Executive Director Muneer Awad said:
"The admission that after more than six years of the most intense and unconstitutional surveillance possible by the world's most sophisticated law enforcement agencies, that not one criminal lead was uncovered or one terror-related case was initiated, reaffirms our concerns that the NYPD was engaged in discriminatory policing based only on race, ethnicity, and religion, rather than suspicion of criminal activity.
"It should now be abundantly clear to all unbiased individuals that the NYPD spying program was unproductive, counterproductive and discriminatory, in that it did not make our nation more secure and only served to harm relations between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
"It also wasted uncounted taxpayer dollars illegally spying on Americans without evidence of wrongdoing. Those, like Representative Peter King, NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly and Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who have unapologetically defended the discriminatory policies of the NYPD, should apologize for the harm they have caused to New York and its citizens."
CAIR-NY also urged elected officials to implement policy changes, including the proposed "Community Safety Act," to protect minority communities from discriminatory policing, and to provide independent oversight for the NYPD in the future.

The sign read "the MONKEY BITES". Ace sat with his back to the room tearing out single pages from a small bible and eating them, chewing slowly while looking up at the ceiling of his cage as if he was memorizing the passages. Billy, the owner and bartender, said he only ate one or two pages a day – it was not as if he was hungry. Billy always fed Ace every time he fed himself. In fact, he fed the monkey first since he was worried about being poisoned, a fair concern because he treated the cook like dirt.

I came across this yesterday. It's a theme that has always run through my writing and personal philosophy.
I suppose I'll have to learn the process of asking for permission to use quotes from other authors hoping it could be as simple as an email.

Theatre without ruling
Some thoughts spurred from a few Michaels comments.
I'm not looking to run an arts service or research organization – I'm a theatre director.
I believe in leadership. I believe in curation and position taking.
I'm not looking to run an "open-source theatre", or a broadly defined "shared stake holder" art space [1]. Nor am I necessarily a champion of the New or the Next. I don't think of myself or my work as avant-garde or that radical.
For better or worse, I'm absurdly interested in what can happen in the theatre. So, first, I want to find a home for my work [2] as a director and instigator of shows.
I also believe in a kind of generous ethical transparency [3].
I believe in the intelligence of the room and the vitality of agency and investment for collaborators and co-conspirators. There are people I turn to for inspiration, advice, support and deep input. I think there are times when crowd-sourcing is a great strategy. I believe that public, honest conversation can be good and healthy.
My interest in theatre and use of digital networks grew at the same time. The internet is making different things possible across distance and changing how ideas are shared. Expectations for participation, investment in process and recreational practices are changing. Definitions and understandings of "professional" are changing. There can be great and important lessons for the world and art making in all this opening and changing of tools and norms.[4]
Still, I believe in leadership. I believe in curation and position taking.
Not everything goes. The populism I can stand behind makes choices and is willing to articulate those choices. Not everyone will like the choices or the articulation, but that's nothing new.
Part of the building-dream is that the main hall wouldn't have to rented for the business plan to work. It would be in use: teaching classes, holding meetings, a space to run around and a place to dream, but first and foremost it should be a home for creating and rehearsing Small Wooden Shoe projects and the projects a couple other resident companies. I think of it as mostly a rehearsal/creation venue with performance opportunity - more Progress Lab than Theatre Centre or Buddies. Toronto doesn't need even more mandate duplication.
Participation in the neighbourhood, the day care, after school programs, food services etc… might happen in the other spaces of the building, run by people much more qualified than I. There would need to be a connection with the working of the theatre companies - but also important separation.
Somewhere, I think in Brecht's journals (to show my theatre-geek) - I read:
"How to lead without ruling?"
That's been my question since.
Those things have value in the world, just that that's not what I would be best for. ↩
"My work" involves many deep ongoing collaborations and meeting new people - it's not only theatre but it mostly is. It is not an isolating activity, yet it does make choices. ↩
Though I'm wary of certain calls for transparency, which are often thinly veiled attacks on front line workers and political enemies. ↩
There is also developments to be opposed and alternatives proposed. ↩

The Commoditization of SEO
No one who's watching wants to see it. No one who's listening wants to hear it. Anyone who's just starting out in SEO or anyone who's been in SEO for years isn't going to want to hear it or even agree. SEO is a commodity. It's been commoditized.
Deep down, it's something I've known for a year or so now, but two recent posts have solidified this viewpoint for me: Rand Fishkin's The Responsibilities of SEO Have Been Upgraded and Alan Blieweiss' Why I Joined Click2Rank. Each has a unique subject, each has unique vantage point, but the end result of both articles brought me to "commodity". Neither are prerequisite reading, but I would recommend them both.
Here's the definition of commoditization from InvestoPedia:
1) While many consider this sort of adjustment worthwhile, some view commoditization as a cause of price fluctuations. 2) When a product becomes indistinguishable from others like it and consumers buy on price alone, it becomes a commodity.[emphasis mine]
The New Used Car Dealerships of the Web
Between the rapid globalization (read outsource) and higher levels of saturation in the market place today, SEO services are the newest used car dealerships on the web. The same knowledge resource [the product] possessed by many in a space dominated by price [consumers looking for the service]. The industry is about cheap quality. If the consumer doesn't find SEO Company X's price palatable, he/she can walk down the street and haggle with SEO Company Y's people. Because in the end, all a client/consumer wants is a vehicle that gets done what it has to at the least expense to them.
Some will argue that this simply isn't the case. And, I'll listen to those arguments because I still want to believe it isn't the case either. But let's take this metaphor a bit further.
Ferrari's and Yugo's and Everything in Between
Like automobiles, SEO and SEM skill sets come in varying degrees. Some of us are highly-tuned, highly-functional Ferrari's: clients know it's expensive (and have a hard time justifying the cost), but also know (we hope they do) they'll be getting precision, speed, luxury, and an unparalleled level of craftsmanship. Some of us out there are Yugo's: clients know (again, we hope they do) all they're getting is four tires and an engine. It gets you mobile, it's A to B, it's not the safest or the best, but it's cheap training wheels. And then there is everyone in between these two poles; it's a grab-bag of skill sets and you [the client] never know what you're going to get.
A Second Depression
This is where it gets a bit political, so if you'd rather not, no hard feelings. We'll catch up on the net another time.
It's no big secret, the global economy is in trouble. From dollar-deflation issues and Euro troubles, to crashing double-dip housing market complete with derivatives [read a crippled banking and finance industry], crushed consumer spending, every company is watching their marketing budget with an extra layer of scrutiny. It was lean before, it's lean now, and it'll be leaner into the distant future. The Second Depression isn't letting them off the hook, and in turn, they won't be letting us off the hook.
SEO is less about experience, knowledge, and proven ability these days, even taking into account Rand's accurate depiction of what SEO is today. It's a numbers game for companies. They recognize the need for SEO and SEM services in order to be competitive, in order to still have footholds in the market place. However, since SEO services have been commoditized, it's no longer advantage SEO.
The Game is Not Yours to Dictate Anymore
Companies know the score now. They no longer feel compelled to be held over the fire singularly based on an SEO's knowledge, experience, and skill set. Thus, leading to higher costs. Prospective clients can send you packing and opt for cheaper(est) services thanks to a saturated marketplace, thanks to globalization. Current clients can spend half what they do now by pulling resources in-house. Couple that with ultra-frugal mindsets and heavily slashed budgets. Hopefully you can see where this is heading.
This doesn't mean that Ferrari-esque SEOs are destined to find agency/in-house gigs (but that is one possible outcome). It doesn't mean that Yugo SEOs and Middle SEOs will rule the market. It simply means that the game is no longer yours to dictate. And, as such, expect less. Even in destroyed economies, performance has a place. You can still keep the same prices, but expect that even less people will seek you out for that rate.
You can tell me that "quality" still means something to some. You can tell me that "results and proven track records" still hold water. I won't disagree with that. But what I will tell you is that those things are "nice to haves" in a world where the guy next door does the same thing for half the price, even though he/she doesn't have a leg to stand on. Because it's about dollar-dollar bills y'all.

The Fall Mantel - Don't Give A Hooey
Seasonal decor. I love you. But you come to other people's houses and are awesome, you show up at my house and ....meh, sometimes you're rockin' and rolling, and sometimes you are a single pumpkin on the porch, with some dead flowers left over from the summer...
Since I started the blog, I thought it would be best to try to have a rockin' year, but understand, this is not always the case. I used to read blogs and get really inspired and motivated, but occasionally I would also get down on myself because I wasn't that wife and mother with the perfectly decorated porch and welcome signs. Sometimes there were dishes to do and meals to cook and children to raise and work and on and on and on until forget the pumpkins, all I wanted was a hot shower..
All there would be on the porch would be those dead flowers.
Dead flowers sometimes means that you're busy with your children. They are well fed, bathed and hugged. That your husband or your friend got your attention that day. That you are hard at work so you or your family have a roof over their head or clean clothes to wear. That soup is on the stove. Even that ironing pile got a little smaller. Confession: Okay, I'm kidding on that one. I only iron once a year, then give up and take the pile to the dry cleaners.
'Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come'. Proverbs 31:25
Life will not always be so hectic, young mother, caretaker, wife. It will get easier.
When my oldest was a baby, I didn't have the time or the money to decorate. Besides the demands of a normal toddler, he was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes (Read about it here). Definitely not my season for decorating. Later, when I was taking care of my sick daddy and two boys, I would probably have thrown a pumpkin at you if you criticized my dead flowers on the porch. Ok, only in my mind would I have thrown the pumpkin, I'm big talk on the computer.
I was needed elsewhere.
If it's your year to decorate, or tackle whatever else you feel led to do, I hope you find some inspiration here (or at least have a good laugh at my attempts to do so). If it's your season for dead flowers, display them with honor. You've earned it. You're needed elsewhere.
Your season will come, so right now, don't give a hooey.

You will learn the foundations for a lifetime of safe driving. The course is broken down to two main area: classroom and in car training.
Classroom Overview
The 30 hours in the classroom are broken into 10 three hour classes. The first few classes in the session start with an overview the program and the Maryland licensing laws. Then we move on to the role of the driver, the signs and signals that control traffic and the basic tasks that are required to operate a car. We place a big emphasis on the consequences of distracted driving and how to stay safe on the road. After all that we make it out on the road. We talk about what to expect in basic situations as well as expressway driving and how to handle bad weather and vehicle malfunctions.
Finally, we devote two entire classes to the effects of alcohol and other impairments on driving. Students will learn the foundations for a lifetime of safe driving, including:
Class/Course Hours:
Mornings: 9:00am – 12:15pm
Afternoons: 1:00pm – 4:15pm
Evenings: 5:00pm – 8:15pm

Tuition for the course varies from students and Adults, but it is generally between $300 and $325. This includes the two-week classroom session, plus the 6 hours of in-car driving lessons. Please be advised, that should you not be very comfortable with driving you should ask to purchase more practice hours of driving before the 6 hours of the School driving hours ends.
Am I required to take Driver's Ed?
Yes – in Maryland, the law requires all first-time drivers to complete an MVA-certified Driver's Education course in order to obtain a driver's license. This rule applies to all Maryland residents, regardless of age.
Do I need a learner's permit to take the Driver's Ed class?
You do not need a learner's permit to start the class – in fact, you can begin the class as early as age 15. Many students find that taking the class first helps them to pass the MVA learner's permit test later when they apply for a permit. (You can apply for a learner's permit at the age of 15 and 9 months.)
The course consists of two parts: a classroom portion, and an in-car driving portion. Students may take the classroom portion without a learner's permit, and then return for the on-the-road training after they have obtained their permit.
How long is the class?
The classroom portion of the course runs for 2 weeks from Monday through Friday (a total of 10 class days). Each class day is 3 hours long plus a 15-minute break. Parents are encouraged to attend the Parent Orientation which is on the first day of class for the first hour and a half.

ON AIR - The Big Drive Home
with Lorraine
What we would have given to be there...The cast of the Gilmore Girls reunited over the weekend at the ATX Television Festival and oh, did they put on a show. All the big guns were there - fast-talking, coffee-drinking mother-daughter duo Lorelai and Rory (Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel), Rory's former flames Dean, Jess and Logan (Jared Padalecki, Milo Ventimiglia and Matt Czuchry) and Luke (Scott Paterson). Even Lorelai's meddling mother Emily made an appearance, played by Kelly Bishop.
Check out these epic pictures:
Of course, talk turned to who Rory should have ended up with in the end. In case you don't remember, Rory and Logan ended things when she declined his proposal (this is bringing back all the feels). Ventimiglia declared himself as "Team Dean", while Padalecki announced himself as "Team Jess". No one jump on board Team Logan, no? Alright then...
As for talk of a movie, show creator Amy Sherman-Palladino revealed:
"There's nothing in the works at the moment. Here's the good thing: nobody here hates eachother. It would have to be the right everything - the right format, the right timing, it would have to be honoured in a certain way."
She added, "And I think that if it ever came around, we would all jump in and do it. And if it ever happens, I promise you we'll do it correctly."

Playful rhyming is FUN for kids and they do it naturally
- Rhyming books in meter help kids learn the language—Meter is what makes a book "sing" and rhymes help kids fill in the blanks with and learn unfamiliar words.
- The book is also perfect for kids who are learning English as a second language.
If your kids enjoy rhyming books with a sprinkle of magic, then this book is for them.
Inside the book
Feedback from teachers and parents
"Many students noted the goblin and Kevin the ghost were their favorites because they were funny and "made them feel happy!"—Scott Carpenter, Kindergarten teacher
"As a teacher and a mother, I enjoyed the teachable aspects of the book and its silly events that will make kids giggle."—Meghan O'Rourke, Special Education teacher
"They thoroughly enjoyed the story, often commenting about the rhyming and fun illustrations. They all had a favorite page!"—Christine Egan, Kindergarten teacher
"I read When the Clock Strikes on Halloween to my first grade class and they loved it! This is a great book to read during Halloween or it can also be used to focus on rhyming words and telling time to the hour. The discussion questions at the end of the book are a nice addition as it encourages conversation and extension activities. My class is looking forward to reading other When the Clock Strikes books!"—Jennifer Zimbal, First grade teacher
"My toddler loved this book! He's too young to learn time, but he enjoyed pointing to the clock and repeating the numbers. The rhyme bounces along and my son shouts 'Kevin!' when we meet the ghost! A really fun and engaging way to learn about time, and what kid doesn't love Halloween!?" —Lucille Abendanon, mother of three
Trick or treating will be twice as sweet this year with these Halloween-themed rewards:
- eBook—eBooks for every e-reading device
- Video recording—watch the book come to life with a fun video with music and voiceover
- Activity workbook PDF—coloring pages, word searches, mazes, and of course blank CLOCKS so your kids can continue the fun after they've finished reading the book
- Social media thank you—we are so grateful for absolutely every pledge and will thank you publicly everywhere we can (follow our Facebook and Instagram pages to see your name in lights)
- Crowdfunding strategy session—for authors only! If you want help strategizing how to crowdfund your book, I'm happy to help you. Get a 60-min customized strategy session with me to plan your campaign. Availability will be determined after this campaign ends. This reward represents $150 (50%) savings from my usual crowdfunding consulting and is only available through this campaign.
- 12 months of official sponsorship—for our biggest supporters who will receive special attention on lisaferland.com's homepage and on every newsletter sent out to readers.
The book is already illustrated and ready for proofing and printing. I just need to know the preferred format of the books (e.g., hardcover, paperback, board book), and how many books to print and where to send them.
Help me find some amazing ghouls and goblins in classrooms and bedrooms around the world who will love this book.
Funds raised beyond our goal will be invested back into the book–increasing print quantity, hardcover, and translations—and into developing the series of these books (two more books are already planned).
Running this campaign helps me determine audience demand. Do people really want hardcovers or are paperbacks totally fine?
Why launch a Halloween book in the spring?—It takes time to proof and print books in hardcover and I'm managing books in multiple countries, so I need to run this campaign NOW in order to have books ready for September when Halloween season gears up.
Kickstarter is transparent and high stakes—the all-or-nothing model motivates everyone (but mostly me) to get the word out in a short amount of time.
Engagement—The Kickstarter-only rewards are a great way to engage with readers and generate a positive and fun energy around the concept of the book.
As a Kickstarter Superbacker myself, I love the Kickstarter community and the support everyone shows one another.
Help us share the magic—sharing really helps!
If you love Halloween or want to share this project with other Halloween lovers, please click the image below to share it on Facebook and encourage others to sponsor the book. We need your help to get this book to as many kids as possible.
Scroll back up to get your copy of the book and Kickstarter-exclusive rewards.

Risks and challenges
Risks are fairly minimal at this point. As soon as the project fully funds, we will be finalizing the paperback (possibly hardcover) and eBook formats, and sending off for final proofing and printing.
I have successfully published two books already and this is my second Kickstarter campaign. I understand the necessary steps for successful publishing. I've also helped other authors raise over $100k on Kickstarter and understand how to develop engaging relationships with readers.
That said, if any issues arise during the production of the book that delays the delivery date of your rewards, I will keep you updated.
Readers in the US and the EU will have books printed locally and shipped to reduce costs and environmental impact.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Ooh I'm so excited about today's card, and I know right where I'm sending this little cutie too! My niece Grace is THE sweetest Girl Scout around, and with cookie time right around the corner, this is perfect for her.
I hopped over to the Mojo Monday blog to see what the sketch is this week, and I was so excited when the whole card plan came together with it! I really enjoyed coloring this adorable stamp called Pure Innocence – Girl Scout from My Favorite Things.
I selected my DSP, which is from the My Mind's Eye Reunion pad, along with some green card stock from the Color Made Easy Pistachio Collection from Flourishes. The brown card stock is Early Espresso from Stampin' Up!, and the white is X-PressIt Blending Card.
And how about that ribbon? I got it from my friend Selene Kempton, and that perfect bow was already made for me! She always sends little goody bags when I order Stampin' Up! product from her 🙂
Here are the Copic colors I used (lots of 'em!)
Dress & Socks – YG61, YG63, YG67
Hair – E00, E31, E33, E35

Yankee Farm Credit Reports Second Quarter Results for 2017
Yankee Farm Credit today announced second quarter financial results for 2017. Yankee is a farmer-owned credit cooperative serving Vermont and parts of New York and New Hampshire. Quarterly earnings were up slightly from the prior year, and loan quality remained stable. Yankee's overall level of capital remains strong.
Q2 Financial Results
Quarterly net income for Yankee was $2.9 million, an increase of $218 thousand from 2016. Net interest income increased 11 percent, from the same period in 2016, to $4.5 million. Other income increased $59 thousand, primarily due to income from fees for financial services. These increases were offset by higher expenses due to Yankee's cost of conversion to a new information technology platform and the additional costs of enhanced risk management practices.
Loans held by the Association at June 30, 2017 were $479.4 million, down $1.3 million from year end. The loan portfolio continues to be concentrated in the dairy industry, with 51.2 percent of the loans invested in dairy businesses. The second largest concentration is timber, with 13.3 percent of the loan volume at quarter end.
Credit quality across Yankee's loan portfolio remained stable during the quarter and well within the risk-bearing capacity of the Association. At quarter end 1.1 percent of the Association loans were classified as nonperforming, 0.1 percent improved from the end of 2016. There were no loan charge-offs but recoveries of $5 thousand in the quarter. The Association's permanent capital ratio at quarter end was 18.9 percent, unchanged from the end of 2016.
The 2016 patronage refund to members in the amount of $5.1 million was paid 100% in cash on March 22, 2017.
About Yankee
Yankee Farm Credit is a member-owned cooperative which provides loans and financial services to farmers and other rural customers. Yankee is an agricultural credit association (ACA) within the national Farm Credit System. Yankee serves all of Vermont, four counties in New Hampshire (Cheshire, Coos, Grafton and Sullivan) and two counties in New York (Clinton and Essex).
For more information about Yankee visit the Association's website at www.yankeeaca.com. The complete quarterly report is available on the website.

The Musical Shuttle/
The quiet split by someone shouting
turns out to be a mockingbird.
The show-off seems hell-bent on spouting
every sound he's ever heard:
first dog, then frog, then Honda Civic.
This repertoire's his mating gimmick—
that's why he can't contain his noise.
He gains no extra points for poise.
So when our mimic starts to sing
he spreads his wings and proudly flashes
his pair of sexy, white wing patches
like someone showing off his bling.
Oh no! That dude just stole his girl.
I would have given him a whirl.
Dawn Corrigan's poetry and prose have appeared in a number of print and online journals, most recently The Lake, Right Hand Pointing, and Don't Just Sit There. Her debut novel, an environmental mystery called Mitigating Circumstances, was released from Five Star/Cengage in January 2014.

Plan to Attack Upscale Mall in Jerusalem Prevented
Three male members of Hamas in Ramallah and Jerusalem were arrested while in the advanced stages of planning a bomb attack in Jerusalem during one of the upcoming holidays. The bomb was intended to be set off in the Mamila shopping center, which is very busy during the holidays and can be compared to California's Rodeo Drive. Their goal was to "kill a large number of Jews." Their plan was to wrap the bomb in a gift wrapped box for chocolates in a basket and dump it into one of the garbage cans.
According to Jerusalem Online, today (Sunday) the Jerusalem District Attorney's office filed serious charges against three men for aiding the enemy in the war and secondly for attempting to create weapons.
There are many holy holidays during the month of September. Please pray for safety in Israel during this month.

A graphic designer from Jersey City, with a passion for classic print and new media, I've found myself drawn to creative projects and start-up businesses. In the past nine years I've had a unique opportunity to design in a freelance, corporate capacity, a private owned business and an investor-backed restaurant startup. From drafting logos for independent businesses in my hometown to production and oversight of ActionEmco, LLC's quarterly catalogs to setting commercial art at Magnets.com for various customers throughout the US, I've had the pleasure of working with various mediums and fully utilizing my creative ability. A fondness for vector artwork, eye for clean layout, and a superb taste for typography are what drive my design engine. I love print design but as the world and technology within it evolve, I find myself yearning to learn new design techniques and applications to keep up.

We live in a world where Christians are expected for the most part to remain silent when it comes to morality, political correctness, and lifestyle.
The early church faced some of the same "silence" demands, yet, the disciples preached boldly and continued steadfast in their mission of preaching and teaching the gospel of Christ to others.
Listen to this lesson and learn how we should be more like those early Christians and not hear the "sound of silence!"
Please listen and share.

Gordon: De Lima protected self at Senate's expense
New justice committee chair Sen. Richard Gordon on Tuesday criticized Sen. Leila de Lima for supposedly using the Senate as a tool to "divert the media" and "protect herself" amid what was then an imminent House probe on drug proliferation in the national penitentiary when she was still justice secretary.
READ: De Lima ousted as chair of panel
Gordon, one of the 16 senators who voted to oust De Lima as justice panel chair on Monday, said De Lima was getting back at President Rodrigo Duterte when she presented a confessed hitman as witness without informing the committee and the Senate leadership beforehand.
"Kailangan 'yung talagang objective. Hindi 'yung dahil binabanatan ka ng Pangulo, babanat ka ng personal. Kukuha ka ng testigo bigla bigla na hindi kilala ng komite. Hindi mo bibigyan ng pasubali ang komite… Dapat nasa lugar," Gordon said over Radyo Inquirer 990AM. "Parang may anggulo. Madadala ang Senado sa away nilang personal, hindi 'yung sa imbestigasyon na dapat malapat."
(We need things to be objective. Just because the President was criticizing her, she wanted to hit back and personally at that. She immediately produced a witness that the committee does not know. She did not inform the committee. Things should be done accordingly. There seems to be an objective. The Senate will be dragged into her personal quarrel, instead of focusing on the investigation.)
"May ibabato sa kanya ngayong araw sa Kongreso eh inunahan niya, nilabas niya ito para maligaw 'yung direksyon ng media, parang almost an instinct of protecting herself at the expense of the Senate. Hindi pwede 'yun," he added.
(She jumped the gun on the Congress which was going to probe her by diverting the attention of the media to this, like almost an instinct of protecting herself at the expense of the Senate. We cannot allow that.)
READ: De Lima committee used for 'personal vendetta' — Gatchalian
De Lima, who initiated the Senate inquiry into the spate of extrajudicial killings in the country amid the administration's bloody war on drugs, is being accused by Duterte of coddling drug lords at the New Bilibid Prisons during her stint at the justice department, which is the subject of an ongoing congressional inquiry.
READ: Convicts to pin down De Lima in alleged Bilibid drug trade
Gordon noted that testimonies of witness Edgar Matobato, who claimed he was a member of the notorious Davao Death Squad, were not part of the resolution sought to investigate recent drug-related deaths in the country. He said senators have yet to study and determine whether Matobato would still be relevant in the hearings.
Noting that he is not siding with the President, Gordon vowed to continue the investigation of suspected summary executions and look into possible cases of abuse of power.
"Definitely ang gusto natin masunod 'yung intensyon ng Senado na malaman kung ano ang puno't dulo nitong maraming namamatay na sinasabing vigilante, maraming namamatay na pulis sa bakbakan. At para makita kung ano ang dapat gawin ng Kongreso sa mga ganitong bagay, kung merong ginagawang katiwalian sa pagpatay. Siympre sagrado ang human rights sa atin, sagrado rin ang katarungan sa atin," he said.
(Definitely, the Senate's intention is to know the reason for the spate of vigilante killings and the deaths of the police in the war on drugs. This is so that the Congress will know how to deal with these events and if there really are irregularities in the deaths. Human rights and justice are sacred in our country.)
Gordon earlier proposed to give Duterte extended authority to suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus (show the body) supposedly to intensify the government's war on drugs and terrorism, which legitimizes warrantless arrests and prolonged detention even without formal charges. De Lima described Gordon's proposal as a "creeping authoritarianism."
READ: De Lima opposes Gordon's call to suspend privilege of writ of habeas corpus
Sen. Manny Pacquiao on Monday moved to declare the chairmanship and membership of the justice committee vacant. His motion came after the privilege speech of Sen. Alan Cayetano, Duterte's defeated running mate, where he also criticized De Lima's handling of the investigation on the spate of killings.
READ: Pacquiao moves to declare De Lima committee on justice vacant
Only four senators, namely Sen. Franklin Drilon, Francis Pangilinan, Bam Aquino, and Risa Hontiveros, voted against Pacquiao's motion. Gordon and Sen. Panfilo Lacson were elected new chairman and vice chairman, respectively, while De Lima, Cayetano, Pacquiao, Pangilinan, Grace Poe, and Juan Miguel Zubiri were elected members. IDL/rga

Outfit Idea // Plaid Blazer Holiday Look/
For my second holiday look (see the first here), I went for the high school band concert vibe. Just kidding, but that's what I joked as I put it on. This plaid blazer is definitely a little Blair Waldorf, okay, a lot Blair Waldorf, but it's also a classic that will never go out of style. The bow tie might be a little over-the-top for most people, but not for the fashion risk takers. I really love how the red strappy shoes sexify the whole look and the statement earrings add a hit of bling, both accessories take this look to a non-band geek place. Oh and I forgot to talk about my clip in extensions! How fun is it to change up your look and add a ponytail at a moments notice!
