Nokia 6600i Slide Review
Phone rating: In a nutshell: The Nokia 6600i Slide is a sleek slide phone with a high quality brushed metal finish, an excellent 5 megapixel camera and a large hi-res OLED display. It features video calling, an MP3 player, an FM radio, expandable memory and Bluetooth. This is an easy-to-use phone without some of the more advanced features. Battery life could be better, however, and the reliability of the phone is questionable. Review: September 2009. The Nokia 6600i Slide is an upgraded version of the 6600 Slide. It's very similar in shape, size and design, except that the plasticky case of the 6600 has been chucked in the bin and in its place is a very smart brushed metallic finish, available in silver or black. Everything about the 6600i Slide is sleek. Nokia have even gone as far as removing the volume keys from the side of the phone, which we're not convinced is a great idea. But that aside, the 6600i Slide is certainly a compact yet solid-feeling phone that looks good and feels good. The keypad is completely no-nonsense and makes texting a breeze. The features of the 6600i are nearly identical to those of the 6600 Slide. The main difference, apart from the metal finish, is that the camera has been upgraded from 3.2 megapixels to 5 megapixels. With autofocus and a double LED flash, it produces very good results - comparable with the best in this price range. It can also record video in VGA resolution, and can make video calls. The screen is the same beautiful OLED display with 16 million colours and high resolution - a superb screen, with good performance even in sunlight. The media player is very good too, with support for all the main file formats, plus an FM radio. The built-in memory is the same as the 6600 Slide - just 20 MB - but a 1GB memory card is included in the sales package, and in fact the 6600i Slide will accept microSD memory cards right up to a huge 16 GB. Other features are the same as in the 6600 Slide - read our 6600 Slide review for more information - and include 3G, Opera Mini browser, Nokia Maps (no GPS though), email support, and tap support (tap the phone to silence the ring or reject a call, or to silence the alarm.) The 6600i Slide is a definite improvement compared with the troubled 6600 Slide, but it isn't the perfect phone. To be honest, the improved camera is a minor enhancement. The metal finish makes the phone look and feel much more of a quality product than the previous Nokia, but inside we feel that the problems of freezing and cutting off in the middle of calls are likely still to be present. The battery is unchanged too, and doesn't provide very long between charges, even though Nokia are claiming improved standby times for the 6600i Slide. It's hard to know what to recommend as an alternative, as we haven't been impressed by any of Nokia's mid-range phones in recent times - especially the sliders. You could try the 6700 Classic or the 6303 Classic if you don't mind giving up the slide design. Or you could be brave and try something completely different like the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic! Features of the Nokia 6600i Slide include:

A big reason Steve Stroope's Lake Pointe Church near Dallas, Texas has gone from 12 families to 11,000 members (in 33 years) is because this congregation pays a lot of attention to families.
Steve, who's been at the helm of this conservative, evangelical church all 33 years says now, more than ever, families need vibrant Christian communities to help maneuver the difficulties before them.
In this interview, this polished executive not only tells us how Lake Pointe takes care of families, but how Steve, as a pastor, keeps on top of his game. Hear some encouraging words from a dynamic, seasoned pastor.

When asked about the biggest challenges facing the North American church, Steve Stroope did not hesitate to point to broken family relationships that local congregations are well-poised to address. Here are my notes from the interview:
Equip Parents
Steve says Lake Pointe makes it clear that the church is not going to disciple kids – it's up to the parents – but the church will help, by providing tons of resources – from sermons to book kiosks to help parents raise the Christian kids they want to.
Leaders Are Learners
Steve credits much of his development to committing to continuing education – reading widely, especially leadership books. He has been involved in a local leadership cohort that he credits with giving him the organizational skills that have led to more free time than ever before.
Hook, Book, Look, and Took
These are the 4 components of a good sermon: hooking people with relevance, like a good story, taking them to the Book (Bible) for answers, encouraging them to look at their lives, and giving them something to take away (took) from the sermon.
About Steve Stroope
Steve Stroope is Lead Pastor of Lake Pointe Church in Rockwall, Texas. He was called to pastor Lake Pointe shortly after its founding. Steve graduated from Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas, with a B.A. in Psychology and received the Master of Divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. Steve provides coaching to partnership churches and pioneer missionaries in Africa, Australia, New Zealand, China, Cuba, Russia, Mexico, France, South Africa, and North America. He is a sought-after speaker, both nationally and internationally. He has co-authored two books, Money Matters in the Church and It Starts at Home. His newest book, Tribal Church, was released in early 2012. He and Marsha have two grown daughters, three grandsons and one granddaughter.
Books Steve Recommends
Axiom – Bill Hybels
The Rest of God – Mark Buchanan
Spiritual Leadership – Oswald Sanders
Sponsors I Mentioned
Virginia Theological Seminary is the largest Episcopal Seminary in the U.S., forming men and women for leadership in the church. In addition to the MDiv, Anglican Studies and DMin degrees are their Masters of Arts degrees with a fous on Theological Studies, Christian Formation, Religion & Culture, and Biblical Interpretation.

Bladder surgery same day surgery.
Hello Janis, This is Tammy I tried earlier to send you a message about my surgery and a little bit about my deceased baby brothers passing away but unfortunately I did something wrong when it came time to send it. I will keep it shorter so I can hopefully send it to you this time. I would just love to once again thank you so much for taking your time as well as anyone else I may have accidentally overlooked who took the time to bless me and my sweet deceased baby brother. I have only recently just began to learn the computer and internet so I am like a baby taking small steps to learn how to more efficiently socialize on internet. Thank you 4 wishing me well on my bladder surgery. I had a medtronic interstim implanted in me to calm down my bladder so I can urinate the normal way instead of my bladder sending me false signals to go to the restroom. It was a success. Now all I have to do is take it easy and relax so I can have a speedy recovery. And also would love to thank everyone else that may have took the time to send me well wishes. Love you And thank you and everyone else si much Tammy Denise Young.

I want to thank you for visiting Dominick Calhoun. You are very thoughtful and kind. Dominicks story was very tragic like many of the young that went far too soon it is comforting to remember them with tokens. If there is anyone you would like for me to leave a token for please,let me know thank you!

SACRAMENTO -- The Sacramento Kings finally figured out a way to defeat the Phoenix Suns and came away with 121-112 victory before an announced crowd of 13,501 at Sleep Train Arena on Friday.
The Kings (22-42) had lost five straight to the Suns, including the first two of their four-game series this season.
However, the Kings grabbed a lead in the second quarter with a 15-5 run and were able to hold on, no matter how much they seemed to try to give the game away. Sacramento committed 10 turnovers in the second half, but its precise field-goal shooting kept it in control.
Phoenix (21-41) lost its second straight game, this time because its defense could not keep Sacramento's offense under control.
The Kings shot 54.9 percent overall, including 48.1 percent from 3-point range, and 86 percent from the free-throw line.
Five Kings scored in double-figures, including Isaiah Thomas, who scored a game-high 27 points to lead four Sacramento players who had at least 20 points. Shooting guard Tyreke Evans followed with 25 points, including 14 in the second half.
Sixth man Marcus Thornton continued his strong offensive effort with 23 points, while center DeMarcus Cousins broke out of a two-game slump with 22 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists and two steals.
Evans made a career-high four 3-pointers in the second half.
But the highlight of Evans' night came on a come-from-behind block on a lay-in attempt by Phoenix's Luis Scola midway through the third quarter.
Evans landed hard on his right side and elbow and then slowly rejoined the action after a time out.

BREAKING: New Music From Hitch/Dragged By Horses Members
This track showed up in the email today. Drummer Steve Bohner wouldn't confirm the name, but said they were called "Yeti Fight" this week.
Details are sparse, but here's what we believe:
- Pablo Midence - Guitar/Vocals?
- Steve Bohner - Drums
- Roshawn Beere - Bass
- Andy Sorter - Keys
Yeti Fight - Lord Ellis
With spacious vocals, super-heavy drums, and epic keyboard lines, it evokes Wolfmother, if Wolfmother was a bearded parolee debating whether or not to knock over that bank for kicks.
The North Coast Journal had a piece about them earlier this year. But will this album ever get released? Until then, we wait.

text: (NEWSER) – This probably isn't great news for the Indianapolis Colts, who play the Baltimore Ravens Sunday in a first-round playoff game. The Ravens' superb and ferocious Ray Lewis has a big incentive to play even harder: It could be his last game. The future Hall of Famer announced today that he's retiring after 17 seasons when the playoffs end, reports the Baltimore Sun. "I've ran my course," he said. "It's time for me to create a different legacy." The Sun says he's "in the conversation as one of the best middle linebackers in NFL history." See Bleacher Report for reaction and more on his career. |

News & Analysis
I will definitely look into it. Stay tuned!
@ismini.scouras: I hope you can do a follow up on Microsemi's implantable ...
Microsemi diversifies as DoD budget cuts loom
Ismini Scouras
NEW YORK -- There's no better example that reflects Microsemi Corp.'s position as a high-reliability semiconductor player than its relationship with NASA and its role as a supplier of mission-critical components for the Curiosity rover that landed on Mars on Aug. 6.
Microsemi (Irvine, Calif.) has been supplying hi-rel parts to U.S. space programs for more than 50 years, including radiation-hardened parts ranging from discrete components, to highly integrated SoCs, FPGAs and ASICs as well as cryptography technology.
Nevertheless, hi-rel markets can be fickle, especially as government budgets fluctuate. For example, unless a compromise is reached, automatic spending cuts that would kick in at the beginning of 2013 could result in $500 million in military budget reductions over the next decade. Microsemi derives 28 percent of its revenue from the military and security sectors.
Hence, the company is looking to diversify.
"We are starting to leverage the breadth of capability that we now have and the engagement we have with our [military] customers," Steven Litchfield, Microsemi's chief strategy officer, told a recent conference. "We are sitting down with system architects today talking with customers about next-generation systems and applications, things that we never did historically."
Microsemi, which forecast that mil-aero and security sales would grow approximately 10 percent this year, supplies millimeter-wave transceivers in the whole-body scanners at the security checks in airports.
Litchfield estimated that sales would be cut by as much as 2.5 percent per year if DoD cuts happen. "That's what could happen. But the budget dilemma didn't pop up yesterday. We've seen push-outs. We've seen orders cut," adding that competition in some markets has virtually disappeared over the last few years.
"We are engaging with them and taking on more of the system architectures and defining new products in their systems. Where they don't have the engineering expertise and manpower, we are willing to put up in exchange for revenue," he added.
Next: Offsetting cuts
It seems Microsemi is having a very healthy growth an its product portfolio is defined right to achieve its goal.
Always a great idea to diversify. The budget cut for DoD has to happen to keep the US solvent. Industry has to move to the markets that will sustain them.
Why not Microsemi is looking for the space projects of other countries, there are many countries are planning to land on Mars, the proven technology will help them getting faster and reliable results, yes US laws and NASA agreements should allow doing them so.
I'm sure if the opportunity was there, Microsemi would go after it. But in the meantime, the company continues to penetrate other markets. For instance, just today, it introduced a die packaging technology targeted at implantable medical devices.
@ismini.scouras: I hope you can do a follow up on Microsemi's implantable medical device packaging technology. Has this already obtained FDA approval?
MP Divakar
Dr DSP
Just because budget cuts happen doesn't mean that the electronics component portions will be cut. In fact, I would expect the automation will be used to improve efficiency and cost effectiveness in a variety of areas. More drones means more electronics. More surveillance means more electronics. We can do away with a few $B projects and invest a fraction of that in increased efficiency thru 'smart' electronics programs...

Facebook's fourth-quarter earnings and sales beat Wall Street estimates, but mobile remains Wall Street's top focus -- and investors briefly freaked out when mobile user growth wasn't as robust as last quarter.
Shares of Facebook fell 4% in early Thursday trading -- a bit off the 10% drop in Wednesday after-hours trading when the quarterly results were announced.
The number of monthly active users on Facebook's mobile site and apps grew 57% over the year to 680 million. Still, that wasn't as strong as the 61% over-the-year jump Facebook had in the third quarter.
Mobile has long been a concern for Facebook. In the months right after its May IPO, the company said it wasn't making "any meaningful revenue" from mobile. That changed in August, when Facebook launched a new Apple iOS app and began showing ads to mobile users, including Sponsored Stories and other nudges to "like" company pages.
Investors expect Facebook to continue expanding its mobile audience at a rapid clip, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg knows it. His kickoff statement on a post-earnings conference call with analysts focused on mobile.
"Today there's no argument," he said. "Facebook is a mobile company."
He later added: "A lot of what we had to do last year was simply to improve our mobile development process. Now we're there."
Zuckerberg crowed about Facebook's fourth-quarter mobile ad sales: They accounted for 23% of Facebook's advertising revenue, or about $306 million. That's up from 14% last quarter.
Mobile "daily active users" -- a key metric for Facebook -- exceeded the site's desktop active users for the first time.
Overall, Facebook earned 17 cents per share (excluding some compensation and tax expenses) on sales of $1.6 billion for the fourth quarter, up 40% from Facebook's sales of $1.1 billion a year ago. Both figures beat analysts' estimates.

Does Cycling affect your day-to-day work?
Generally any day on a bike is a good day. The time in saddle between home and work gets one into the work or home head space, and generally separates the two. Even when it rains here, the idea of getting around faster than everyone else keeps a cyclist happy. It seems that cycling creeps into our work all the time - not just when designing cycle infrastructure, but in simulations and drawings there is always a happy cyclist going about their day somewhere. Arriving to site visits and meetings on a bike reinforces our cycle culture to our clients and consultants.

Customer Reviews for Riviera® Brown Levolor 1/2" Slats Mini Window Blinds
"Works exactly like we hoped"
By Living on the RIver from Eastern NC
During Hurricane Irene, we lost a LOT of trees that provided shade from the afternoon sun. We live on a river and had no window treatments in the windows that faced the river. 6 months I bought Graber Solar Shades from BlindsGalore and have loved them. However there was still a full glass door that 'baked' the rug, couch and us in the afternoons. I purchased this blind to cover the glass in the door. We hung it on the outside of the door (since there is also a storm door) which keeps it out of the way of our 3 canine kids' paws. It was easy to install and has worked great!

By Mary K Powell from USA
I'm not a do-it-yourselfer, but the directions Blinds Galore gives you for measuring are so easy and clear. I had someone install the blind. It fit perfectly and looks great.

The Hoosiers now get set to travel to #4 Michigan State , a place they haven't won in 17 years, to take on the Spartans with the Big Ten regular season title most likely at stake.
Other notables from the top 25:
Butler drops four spots to #15 after last weeks loss to Charlotte.
Bishop Luers graduate Deshaun Thomas and his Ohio State Buckeyes drop to #18 after yesterday's blowout loss in Madison. The Bucks have now lost three of its last four.
And even after taking overtime to beat Depaul and then getting blown out by Providence Notre Dame somehow holds on at #25.

One of the Best Leadership Questions You'll Ever Hear
Okay, that's a big claim. But that's the category this falls into for me.
I can't get the question off my mind. I heard Michael Hyatt ask it and it's proving to be extremely clarifying
The question addresses one of the most serious issues anyone leading anything faces: obstacles that will set you back and discourage you.
Been there?
Before we get to it, let me give you some context.
When you start out in leadership, you see the road ahead as filled with opportunities.As you get a little more experienced, you see that it's also filled with obstacles.
Between you and the opportunities are obstacles that take out more than the fair share of leaders.
The obstacles leaders routinely hit include:
Lack of money
Slow progress
Difficult team members
Personal discouragement
Your limits as a leader
Unforeseen circumstances
It's easy to end up discouraged, defeated and deflated because things didn't turn out nearly the way you thought they would.
But the truth is things rarely, if ever, do turn out the way you originally think they will.
The difference between leaders who make it over time and realize their mission and the leaders who don't is simple: successful leaders learn how to navigate obstacles.
That's where Michael Hyatt's excellent question comes into play.
Here's the question:

Posted 19 November 2012 - 12:56 PM
the leader of the pro-business Bourbon Democrats who opposed high tariffs, Free Silver, inflation, imperialism and subsidies to business, farmers or veterans. His battles for political reform and fiscal conservatism made him an icon for American conservatives of the era. Cleveland won praise for his honesty, independence, integrity, and commitment to the principles of classical liberalism. Cleveland relentlessly fought political corruption, patronage, and bossism.....
Cleveland took strong positions and was heavily criticized. His intervention in the Pullman Strike of 1894 to keep the railroads moving angered labor unions nationwide and angered the party in Illinois; his support of the gold standard and opposition to Free Silver alienated the agrarian wing of the Democratic Party....
Cleveland faced a Republican Senate and often resorted to using his veto powers.[91] He vetoed hundreds of private pension bills for American Civil War veterans, believing that if their pensions requests had already been rejected by the Pension Bureau, Congress should not attempt to override that decision.[92] When Congress, pressured by the Grand Army of the Republic, passed a bill granting pensions for disabilities not caused by military service, Cleveland also vetoed that.[93] Cleveland used the veto far more often than any president up to that time.[94] In 1887, Cleveland issued his most well-known veto, that of the Texas Seed Bill.[95] After a drought had ruined crops in several Texas counties, Congress appropriated $10,000 to purchase seed grain for farmers there.[95] Cleveland vetoed the expenditure. In his veto message, he espoused a theory of limited government:
I can find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution, and I do not believe that the power and duty of the general government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit. A prevalent tendency to disregard the limited mission of this power and duty should, I think, be steadfastly resisted, to the end that the lesson should be constantly enforced that, though the people support the government, the government should not support the people. The friendliness and charity of our countrymen can always be relied upon to relieve their fellow-citizens in misfortune. This has been repeatedly and quite lately demonstrated. Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood.

In 1844, the Democrats were split
The three nominees for the presidential candidate
Were Martin Van Buren, a former president and an abolitionist
James Buchanan, a moderate
Louis Cass, a general and expansionist
From Nashville came a dark horse riding up
He was James K. Polk, Napoleon of the Stump
Austere, severe, he held few people dear
His oratory filled his foes with fear
The factions soon agreed
He's just the man we need
To bring about victory
Fulfill our manifest destiny
And annex the land the Mexicans command
And when the votes were cast the winner was
Mister James K. Polk, Napoleon of the Stump
In four short years he met his every goal
He seized the whole southwest from Mexico
Made sure the tarriffs fell
And made the English sell the Oregon territory
He built an independent treasury
Having done all this he sought no second term
But precious few have mourned the passing of
Mister James K. Polk, our eleventh president
Young Hickory, Napoleon of the Stump

The thing I didn't understand in this movie is the Republicans are socially Liberal and the Democrats conservative. I tried reading up on this on the internet but couldn't find much rational explanation for how the parties basically have now completely swapped ideals.
Might have to go to the library for that...I think it was numerous party name changes until we got what we got now.

The thing I didn't understand in this movie is the Republicans are socially Liberal and the Democrats conservative. I tried reading up on this on the internet but couldn't find much rational explanation for how the parties basically have now completely swapped ideals.
You have to read the history of the political parties, but what you are saying is true. It has more to do with name-changes I believe more than anything. The slave owning mentality of people from the old south (Democratic-Republicans) still want limited government so they can run their factories and plantations as they feel fit without "interference" (modern day Repubs), and then there are those of us who are more liberal minded and not opposed to a bigger government (like the Federalists) to regulate business practices and expand civil rights (modern day Dems).
A rose by any other name still makes me sneeze. Labels are misleading.
In other words, if Lincoln were alive today, he'd be a Democrat and not a Republican given he chose to belong to the party that most closely matched his ideals without starting a new one or anything.

Right...you're here to make everyone think you're intellectually superior to them.
It's an ugly personality trait, baller.

Posted 20 November 2012 - 10:40 PM
Like I said, you can read about the Third Party System of the late 1800s to get a better view of the political climate.
I did form my own thoughts. I also made suggestions. I never implied intellectually superiority except with derp. But that isn't hard to do here.
I suppose you have no thoughts on Lincoln. Only to point out what you perceive as my intentions for posting. It's an ugly trait, baller. it's lazy, and you should prolly work on that. Prolly.

Two years after being cleared for release from Guantánamo by a military review board, Adel Hassan Hamad, a Sudanese hospital administrator who worked for a Saudi charity, and Salim Muhood Adem, who worked with orphans for a Kuwaiti NGO, have been repatriated to the country of their birth, where, as lawyer Clive Stafford Smith explained, they are both "safe with their families."
After arriving at Khartoum airport, they were presented with traditional Sudanese clothes by intelligence officers, who took them to a hospital for a short medical examination before returning them to their families and friends. As a noisy celebration got underway, Adel Hamad spoke by phone to his American lawyers, Steve Wax and William Teesdale of the Federal Public Defender's office in Oregon. "I thank God almighty and express my gratefulness to you," he said. "I can finally see the light after the darkness."
If the administration was hoping to lie low for a while, and weather the recent torrent of criticism over its post-9/11 detention policies –- in the Supreme Court, in connection with the destruction of CIA videotapes chronicling the torture of detainees, and through its generally inept attempts to pursue war crimes trials at Guantánamo itself –- the release of these men will provide no comfort whatsoever, as their stories highlight some of the most egregious flaws in the whole of Guantánamo's sordid history.
Adel Hamad, who is now 49 years old, had been living in Pakistan and working for charity organizations for 17 years. Captured at his home in July 2002, after returning from a holiday in Sudan with his wife and four children, he refuted an allegation that he had any kind of connection to al-Qaeda, telling his tribunal in Guantánamo, "I hate them and I pray to God not to let people among the Muslims carry [out] their ideas." He also pointed out, "If I was a member in al-Qaeda or if I had an association with them I would've not travelled in June 2002 to Sudan with my family on an annual vacation and after the vacation ended I voluntarily returned to Pakistan. If I was a criminal, with association to those criminals, why would I return to Pakistan knowing that Pakistani intelligence was arresting al-Qaeda members?"
His description of his arrest seems particularly shocking, but was actually fairly typical of the dozens of arrests in Pakistan at the time, which were mostly based on dubious or non-existent "intelligence." "I was arrested in my house at 1.30 at night when I woke up and found myself in front of policemen from the Pakistani Intelligence pointing their weapons in my face like I was in a dream or a disturbing nightmare," he told his tribunal. "They were screaming at me, 'don't move!' So I told them, 'what is it, what do you want from me?' And with them was a tall man who did not look Pakistani, which I think he was American. So they handcuffed me and they told me 'where are your papers?' (meaning my passport). So I told them, 'in my shirt pocket.' So the tall man checked my passport and he told me that I came back early from my trip. I told him yes. He spoke in poor Arabic. He saw a legal official Pakistani permit by the date that was in my passport, which had a legal official authorization posted for two years. So the guard hesitated at the end and asked the tall man, 'do we take him?' And the man said, 'yes, take him.' So they took me and detained me in jail in Pakistan for six months and ten days. Later I was moved to Bagram and then to Cuba."
Over the last year or so, Adel Hamad has become one of Guantánamo's celebrities, thanks to the efforts of his enterprising lawyers, who traveled to Pakistan to interview his former colleagues and to Sudan to interview his family, producing a film which publicized his plight to a huge audience on YouTube, and which, in turn, led to the establishment of a campaigning website that drew support from thousands of people, including the actor Martin Sheen.
What makes Hamad's story particularly striking, however, beyond his unquestioned innocence, is what happened after his tribunal in Guantánamo three years ago. The tribunals, known as Combatant Status Review Tribunals (CSRTs), were established in the wake of a momentous Supreme Court decision in June 2004 that, contrary to the administration's assertions to that date, the detainees had habeas corpus rights; in other words, that they had the right to challenge the basis of their detention in a court of law. Rather than delivering them to the US courts, however, the administration established the CSRTs to review the detainees' prior designation as "enemy combatants" without rights, who could be held indefinitely without charge or trial. Emphasizing its disdain for the rule of law, the government prevented the detainees from having legal representation, and, moreover, relied on secret evidence that was withheld from them.
The tribunals, which duly found that all but 38 of the 558 detainees at the time had indeed been correctly designated as "enemy combatants," came under fire this June from Lt. Col. Stephen Abraham, a veteran of military intelligence who had taken part in compiling the "evidence" for the tribunals, and who condemned them as a sham, reliant upon vague, unsubstantiated and generic evidence, and designed merely to approve the detainees' prior designation as "enemy combatants."
While Lt. Col. Abraham's comments are credited with prompting the Supreme Court to review the detainees' rights once more (in a hearing that took place last week, as reported here and here), Adel Hamad's tribunal had already provided the first vivid demonstration of the injustice of the whole process back in August 2006, when Farah Stockman of the Boston Globe reported that, in his CSRT, Hamad had been judged to be an "enemy combatant" because of exactly the kind of generic allegations that were later condemned by Lt. Col. Abraham.
Hamad maintained that the Saudi charity he worked for, the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY), was "a charity organization that works to help the Afghan refugees providing them with food, medicine, clothes and education, building charter schools which is made of an orphanage, educational training, and also works in the health department by establishing hospitals, small clinics, and also digging water wells, [and] building water wells." The US authorities, however, described it as an organization that "supports terrorist ideals and causes," even though it has never appeared on a terrorism watchlist (despite being investigated by the US Senate), and was one of the favored projects of the late Saudi King Fahd bin Abdul Aziz.
Another organization that Hamad had worked for previously, the Kuwait-based Lajanat Dawa Islamiya (LDI), which also does not feature on any US terrorism watchlist, was described as "one of the most active" Islamic NGOs "providing logistical and financial support" to mujahideen operating in Afghanistan and Pakistan, which "may be" associated with Osama bin Laden.
In his tribunal, a clearly exasperated Hamad refuted all the allegations, at one point exclaiming, "arresting employees like myself [who] is not capable of supporting terrorists financially, is this justice? I am an employee who works for a living and I have no connection to the [organization's] political views or its financial resources, so why do you punish me for a crime I did not commit. Why don't you arrest the charities' presidents or the people who support [them] financially instead of arresting a simple employee with no informational value?"
Predictably, his tribunal judged that he had been correctly designated an "enemy combatant," but although his pleas appeared to have been ignored, Stockman, who was allowed to examine the CSRT documentation, noted that one of the tribunal members –- an unidentified army major –- had issued a dissenting opinion. Taking into account the fact that neither WAMY nor LDI appears on the State Department's list of terrorist organizations, the major argued that, "even assuming all the allegations … are accurate, the detainee does not meet the definition of enemy combatant." He added, "These NGOs presumably have numerous employees and volunteer workers who have been working in legitimate humanitarian roles. The mere fact that some elements of these NGOs provide support to 'terrorist ideals and causes' is insufficient to declare one of the employees an enemy combatant."
Stockman noted, however, that the major was overruled by his colleagues, one of whom –- in a single line that discredits the whole tribunal process as effectively as Lt. Col. Abraham's later declaration –- wrote that the case "passed the 'low evidentiary hurdle' set up by the rules of the hearings."
Two months ago, the major, who took part in 49 of the 558 CSRT hearings, publicly added his complaints to those recorded by Lt. Col. Abraham, telling William Teesdale, "Much of the material presented was supplied by intelligence agencies and were summaries that were not necessarily justified by the underlying evidence." The major specifically mentioned his dissent in Adel Hamad's CSRT, and also spoke about the deliberate exclusion of exculpatory evidence, the reconvening of CSRTs when an unfavorable result was produced, and the pressure exerted on the tribunals from higher up the command structure.
The case of Salim Muhood Adem, who is also 49 years sold, is, in its own way, just as damning as that of Adel Hamad. A Pakistani resident, who had first traveled to Pakistan in 1991 when he "performed official lawful work for schools," he told his tribunal that he had been employed by the Revival of Islamic Heritage Society (RIHS), a Kuwaiti NGO, since 1994, and pointed out that he had mentioned to the interrogators what type of work he did –- traveling from one school to another to check on education before being transferred to "the Orphanage Office of Administration" –- and that it "wasn't a crime."
Responding to an allegation that the organization was "suspected of supporting extremist activity, and some employees are suspected of supporting terrorism," he said, "I have only known the Islamic organization to be associated with humanitarian efforts, never terrorism." He acknowledged traveling to Afghanistan in 1998, explaining that he went "to supervise the administration of Orphanage Schools" in Kunar province and Jalalabad, and was perplexed by an allegation that his residence was "identified as a suspected al-Qaeda residence and raided." He said that he rented the house from a Pakistani woman, and added, "everything I did regarding the house was legal." Crucially, he explained that when he was arrested "the officer that arrested us said he was giving us to the American forces to avoid problems and keep our country safe."
When asked if there were other people with him when he was arrested, Adem replied that it was only himself, his wife and their two small children, and when asked, "Were your children arrested also?" he said, "I don't know … They knocked on the door and I went downstairs to open it. I was then arrested … Some of them entered my house by jumping off the roofs of neighbouring houses and some came through the front door. When they came in I asked them to please not scare my family. I opened the doors in the house one by one to show them what was inside each room. They handcuffed and blindfolded me and then took me away."
Unlike WAMY and LDI, the RIHS was actually blacklisted by the US Treasury in January 2002, apparently because some of its personnel, including the director of its Pakistani office, Abdul Muhsin al-Libi, "defrauded well-meaning contributors by diverting money donated for widows and orphans to al-Qaeda terrorists," and "padded the number of orphans it claimed to care for by providing names of orphans that did not exist or who had died. Funds then sent for the purpose of caring for the non-existent or dead orphans were instead diverted to al-Qaeda terrorists."
However, neither al-Libi nor another named suspect, Abu Bakr al-Jaziri, both of whom also apparently held senior positions in the Afghan Support Committee, which was identified as having been established by Osama bin Laden in the 1980s, were captured by the Americans. Instead, Adem and four of the charity's other workers were seized, even though there was no evidence that any of the men knew anything about the terrorist funding. What's particularly shocking about Adem's situation is that, although the other four men –- one Jordanian and another three Sudanese, including the charity's accountant in 2001 –- were released between November 2003 and July 2005, Adem had to wait another 29 months to be granted his freedom.
Explaining the delay in the release of both men, Adel Hamad's lawyers recently filed a declaration in the DC Circuit Court, outlining the progress –- or lack of progress –- in negotiations between the Sudanese and American governments, which revealed the extent to which political maneuvering, rather than issues of justice, has driven much of the US administration's policy towards the detainees. This is clear in general from the cases of the Saudis and Yemenis at Guantánamo. In the last twelve months, following fruitful negotiations between the Saudi and US governments, 69 Saudis have been repatriated from Guantánamo, even though none had been cleared for release, whereas the Yemen, whose 95 detainees now constitute the largest group of detainees by nationality, is still awaiting the return of just six detainees, some of whom, like Adel Hamad and Salim Adem, have been cleared for release for over two years.
In the declaration, William Teesdale explained that the Sudanese government had been notified that Hamad and Adem had been "approved for transfer" on November 14, 2005, and that the State Department had sought assurances that they would be investigated on their return to Sudan, and that their human rights would be respected. The Department also sought permission to have "access to the detainees if needed," and assurances that the Sudanese government would "take responsibility for the detainees and prevent them from being a further threat to the United States."
The Sudanese Deputy Ambassador, a Mr. Elguneid, explained to Teesdale that the Sudanese Embassy gave an "official reply" to these demands in June 2006, agreeing to all of them and even pointing out that US officials had "met with some of the [previously] released detainees in Sudan since their release." The State Department then indicated that it would be good "to try to resolve the issue of all the Sudanese Guantánamo detainees" (another six, including al-Jazeera cameraman Sami al-Haj, are still being held) and that the way forward would be to "draw up a memorandum of understanding between the two countries."
Deputy Ambassador Elguneid noted, however, that Samuel Whitton, the US Ambassador who had been proceeding with these negotiations, then left his job, and that "negotiations with the new Ambassador At Large for War Crimes, Clint Williamson, were more difficult." This was something of an understatement. Elguneid admitted that, despite filing ten requests for a meeting to discuss the release of Hamad and Adem, he had been unable to secure an appointment with Williamson, and had not met any State Department officials since that last meeting in June 2006.
With the release of Adel Hamad and Salim Adem, the deadlock has obviously been broken, but the clear politicization of the detainee release process casts further shadows on the legitimacy of Guantánamo, and the stonewalling on the part of State Department officials serves only to undermine Condoleezza Rice's claims that the Department is committed to defense secretary Robert Gates' stated aim of finding ways to close the prison sooner rather than later.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen wants his team's third Bledisloe Cup Test - which will take place in Brisbane in October - to be played under the experimental law variations.
The two main new rule changes are a shortened scrum engagement and the limit of five seconds for the ball to be cleared from the back of a ruck.
These laws are already being used in the ITM Cup and also in the new northern hemisphere season.
With New Zealand winning the two earlier Bledisloe Cup matches earlier this year the Brisbane will be a dead rubber which will take place after the completion of the Rugby Championship.
After that both teams head to Europe where they will undertake their annual end-of-year tours.
Hansen believes the schedule made it logical to adopt the experimental rules when his side face the Wallabies at Suncorp Stadium.
"We've asked for that," he told AAP.
"It makes sense. Both teams are going to the northern hemisphere, where they are already playing those rules, so commonsense would suggest that we should play under them."
Hansen said it was a case of wait and see as to what the authorities decided, but believed the Wallabies would be in favour.
"I'm pretty sure Australia will be keen as we are."

Simpsons with real actors
(Via Kottke)
37 comments:
so, this may sound a little irresponsible because of how inappropriate the simpsons were, but that was a staple in my house growing up. i watched that with my stepdad and brother, rolling around on the floor laughing, and can probably quote every episode. my husband, on the other hand, quotes seinfeld with EVERY event/occurrance in our lives, and i have no clue what he's talking about.
-aleI was never allowed to watch the Simpsons as a child, my parents thought it was too rude, but my boyfriend absolutely loves it and has been encouraging me to watch it too. Now I absolutely love it! But not the most recent seasons, the first eight or so are the best. Anyone who likes sitcoms will LOVE the first seasons! I highly recommend it to everyone! The first season is my personal favourite.
I have also seen this film before and think it is very cute. Although I prefer the cartoon version :)
