"Dogs & Baboons?" Reuben Abati Says It's Time For Buhari To Visit The Zoo
Following the statement made by former military ruler of Nigeria, Muhamadu Buhari, about the present government, calling the president the leader of the "biggest Boko Haram" sect in the country, nodding to a "bloody" revolution in the 2015 elections and comparing federal government officials to "dogs and baboons", the spokesman to the president has responded.
Read the full text of his press statement below:
By Reuben Abati
The attention of the Presidency has been drawn to unfortunate statements in the media made by former Head of State and presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Major Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) in which he allegedly predicted bloodshed in 2015 and labelled the Federal Government led by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, as "the biggest Boko Haram".
But perhaps the most unfortunate part of the statement was the portion in which Buhari said that, "Since the leaders now don't listen to anybody but do whatever they wish, there is nothing the north can do."
We find it very sad that an elder statesman who once presided over the entirety of Nigeria can reduce himself to a regional leader who speaks for only a part of Nigeria. We now understand what his protégé and former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Malam Nasir El'Rufai, meant when he wrote in a public letter in October of 2010, telling Nigerians that Buhari remains "perpetually unelectable" and that Buhari's "insensitivity to Nigeria's diversity and his parochial focus are already well-known." Who can know Buhari better than his own political associate?
Come to think of it, as the CPC presidential candidate in the 2011 election, how many states in the Federation did he visit to campaign for votes? Buhari never bothered to campaign in the southern part of the country and consistently played up the North-South divide to the chagrin of patriotic and well-meaning Nigerians. As the results revealed, Nigerians will never vote for anyone who wants to divide the country. Is Buhari going to continue to be a sectional leader?
The Federal Government led by President Jonathan is not Boko Haram. Boko Haram means Western Education is sin. That being the case, one wonders how a government that devoted the largest sectoral allocation in the 2012 budget to education could be said to be Boko Haram. Between 1983, when Buhari forcefully seized power from the democratically elected administration of President Shehu Usman Shagari, and 2012, no other administration has committed the same quantum of resources as the Jonathan administration to education in the part of Nigeria that has witnessed the most Boko Haram-related insecurity.
Only on April 10, 2012, President Jonathan commissioned the first of 400 Federal Government Model Almajiri Schools, equipped with modern facilities such as a Language Laboratory, Qur'an Recitation Hall, classrooms and dormitories as well as a clinic, vocational workshop, dining hall and quarters for the Mallams. As Nigerians read this, more of such schools have been completed.
We now challenge Major General Buhari (rtd) to tell Nigerians what he has done, whether in his capacity as the head of a military junta or in his private capacity, to bring education to vulnerable children. If he cannot live up to this challenge, perhaps he has to reassess who really is Boko Haram.
Buhari claims that the Federal Government does not listen. Such an accusation ought not to emanate from a man overthrown by his own hand- picked colleagues in the military for refusing to listen to advice and behaving as if he had a monopoly of knowledge.
It is on record that the Federal Government led by President Jonathan is a listening administration hence its decision to pursue all means of resolving the Boko Haram insurgency including through dialogue.
When Buhari says that "if what happens in 2011 should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, 'the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood", we hereby state that it is Buhari himself who does not listen. He has obviously refused to listen to the Nigerian People, the European Union, the Commonwealth Monitoring Group, the African Union and a multitude of independent electoral monitors who testified that the 2011 elections were free and fair and "the best elections since Nigeria returned to civil rule."
Indeed, such a reaction from Buhari is not totally unexpected since he has become a serial election loser who has never taken his past election defeats graciously even when such elections were generally acknowledged to be free and fair.
Still on the issue of Boko Haram, we wonder what locus a man whose party's Secretary General, Buba Galadima, told the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in December, 2010, that the Federal Government is underestimating the support base of Boko Haram, has to accuse a government that has been threatened on camera by the leaders of Boko Haram of itself being Boko Haram?
Major General Buhari (rtd) also boasts of his knowledge of the Petroleum Industry because of his time as Federal Commissioner for Petroleum. We wonder why he did not boast of the infamous scandal that occurred in that ministry where under his watch billions of Naira (in the 1970s) were reported stolen, a matter which led to the setting up of the Justice Ayo Irikefe panel.
Finally, we wish to make it known to Buhari that given his reference to "dogs and baboons", perhaps his best course of action would be to travel to the zoo of his imagination because President Goodluck Jonathan was elected by human beings to preside over human beings and it is human beings who will determine what happens in Nigeria at any material time not "dogs and baboons".

No beta reply answers buharis rantings as this. Until his lots nd his political associates re 'bokoharamed', including the contrversial, power hungry mate who has misinterpreted his supposed call due 'spiritual arrogance re erased from history, we might still be contending wit this political malaise.

Nigeria my father land is in hand of crooks,thieves and those whose reasoning are blocked.imagine the wordings of this crook reuben,u re nt even ashame of urself saying 2011 election the most r free n fair in the history of Nigeria. everybody what pdp n gej cooked. u re only using the power security u hav at ur disposal. we masses re tired of ur continous looting. wait n see what will happen in2015. ourland will suck ur bloods oll crooks n thieves.
May 15, 2012 at 8:07 PM
Buhari as far as i'm concern is an absent human being whose sense of reasoning is myopic and has no foresight. Cos 4 leader n elder statesman 2 utter such statement then i'll classify him as a "FANATIC.
May 16, 2012 at 1:56 AM
Good defence Abati, but I put it to you that you and your boss are also regionally and politically sectoral, which is patent in you only able to boast of 400 mega schools for your almajiri alone.
Now what happens to the other religious groups who perhaps place more importance on education. For crying out loud, this country is a secular nation, why not allow the religious-base groups to execute their religion bias establishment?
It is also shameful to notice that just an ordinary report from the interview of a man who could be rationally unstable could send the power house into confusion.
Is there still exists freedom of speech?
Have people no more right to their ideologies and fanaticims?

Reuben shud visit d sick rather than condem Buhari cos Reuben is sick dat he has never c anythg wrong with jonathan rather loot and hail d clueless govt of all time.Shame on u reuben,u will die like a chicken!Idiot.
May 16, 2012 at 7:07 AM
Reuben if there is anyone that deserve to be in the zoo i think is u bcos u are not different with a monkey, and i think u and ur boss share the same feature. Reuben let me remind if u have forgotten so soon, b4 u join this gov. u are always in the lead in condeming the gov of that time in media, now that u are being used by the dogs and baboon u lost ur sense of reasoning thats if at all u have that. General Buhari only exercise his constitutional right and u animal u are calling names. Wait and see when d Revolution start we will see whether u are going to have a hiding place.

pls fellow nig we should nt listen 2 a childish words like that of abati reuben who is been shambo with money, pls what did he knw about is own state first n famous before he could say about his nation. Many of the rulers knows that government is the bigest boko haram bt they can say it n pls when i say rulers i mean d so called leader who are only there for lootin nig economic whch is nt there fathers properties believe me all of u dis regin would have nothing to write home about. And am tellin abati that buhari did not study zoology so think about 'jornathan' that is havin dactorate award in it.

I dont no why those people are worry about Buhari's speech? why dont you do justice to all? that the only solution.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina Haswell update is part of Apple's new late 2013 lineup which uses an Intel 4th generation processor to deliver better battery life and a new graphics card to power the super dense, high-resolution display.
When it comes to notebook displays, it's hard to find competition that can match the 2560 x 1600 resolution of the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina.
In addition to the new processor, Apple adds faster PCIe storage, Thunderbolt 2 connectivity which delivers faster data transfers and faster 802.11ac WiFi connectivity.
Read: 13-inch MacBook Pro (late 2013) vs 13-inch MacBook Air (mid 2013)
Apple offers three stock models of the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display in retail stores at; $1,299, $1,499 and $1,799. Users can configure the MacBook Pro Retina with up to 1TB of storage, 16GB RAM and a 2.8GHz Dual core Core i7 processor.
The MacBook Pro Retina Haswell model we are reviewing is the $1,499 option with the following specs;
- 2.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
- 256GB Flash
- Iris Graphics
13-inch MacBook Pro Retina Haswell Unboxing & Demo
The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display late 2013 is thinner than the first generation, at 0.71-inch thick. This is nearly as thin as the MacBook Air, though it does not taper like the MacBook Air does. This new version is also lighter, weighing in at 3.46 pounds. This is a half pound heavier than a MacBook Air, but a pound lighter than the non-Retina MacBook Pro.
As configured this machine is capable of serving as a go to Apple notebook for video editing and photo editing as well as some light gaming. The small 256GB hard drive is a bottleneck, but Apple does not offer an upgrade without jumping up to the $1,799 option. Unfortunately users cannot upgrade storage later, like on the non Retina MacBook Pro.
13-inch MacBook Pro Retina Haswell Benchmarks
We ran GeekBench to get the following 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display late 2013 benchmarks. After running the test in 32 bit and 64 bit settings, here are the benchmarks for the MacBook Pro with a 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 Haswell processor.
13-inch MacBook Pro late 2013 Benchmarks – 32 bit | 64 bit
13-inch MacBook Pro Retina late 2013 Battery Life
Apple promises the new MacBook Pro Retina battery life will clock in at 9 hours, and based on our early tests that is a conservative estimate. On a full charge with brightness at half and Safari open the MacBook Pro reports nearly 12 hours of battery life.
After using the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina with Intel Haswell, for four hours including benchmarks, the notebook estimates seven hours of battery life remaining, which would equal out to about 11 hours. This isn't going to catch up to the new MacBook Air, but it is long enough to change the way I work.
Read: 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina vs. 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013)
After four hours using my mid-2011 MacBook Air the battery life would be within 20% of empty and I would need to alter my pace or look for an outlet. With this new notebook my only concern is staying within range of 4G LTE so I can keep connected to the internet.

Outlook It is tempting to greet news of a £500,000 fine and lifetime ban from the City for Peter Cummings with an unequivocal thumbs up. At last, a banker is being brought to book!
Mr Cummings certainly embodies some of the worst excesses that went on in the industry prior to the financial crisis, seemingly spraying mega-loans around like confetti.
Were these loans unauthorised, though? No-one is saying that. His integrity is not being questioned. Meanwhile, a lifetime ban doesn't matter much to someone who is effectively unemployable in the City now anyway.
Mr Cummings certainly deserves what he's getting but let's not cheer too hard. He wasn't solely responsible for the demise of HBoS but he's the only person being castigated.
His colleagues, who worked with him, and supervised him, won't face any sanctions. One of them, chief executive Andy Hornby, is now even running a real bookie, Coral, where the taxpayer won't have to pay up if it gambles and loses.

output stage with high impedance
I am interesting in problem of create an amplifier as a current source.
In a short abstract I have read that a negative currents feedback is not enough for success. It is necessary to create output stage with high impedance for the discontinuance spurious feedback. Mills P.G.L. , Hawksford M.O. Transconductance Power Amplifier System for Current-Driven Loudspeakers. JAES, Vol. 37, 1989, ¹10 p. 809-822. Please, send me copy of this article. I cant get it in Moscow in central technics libraries. PS Where is further development of this idea? Why is not more publications and devises with this solution? |

The (only) adavantage of voltage-drive is that taming of the driver's fundamental resonance is achieved more easily (i.e. cheaply). Regards Charles |

if you are concerned about sending a current to a speaker, there is an easier way of doing that. Put a sampling resistor between the speaker the and ground. and move the feedback pickup line from top of the speaker to top of the resistor (or between the speaker and the resistor). This way, the feedback will be proportional to the voltage drop on the sampling resistor which in turn is proportional to the current doing through the resistor (and the speaker).
This has been done for many years, going back to the vaccum amplifier days. It is said to improve the damping factor and control of the coil. My personal experience with this topology is that it does clearify bass a little but otherwise has no audioable difference. |

It depends heavily on the polarity of the feedback you take from the current sensing resistor. With positive feedback you make your amp's output impedance negative, increasing damping (i.e. decreasing Qes).
With negative feedback you will increase the output impedance of your amp, lowering damping (i.e. increasing Qes). With frequency-dependant feedback you will get a frequency dependant output impedance, allowing more parameters to be altered artificially than just Qes. But the current-sensing resistor is definitely the most common approach to make an amp behave as a current source. Regards Charles |

I read the Mills and Hawksford paper. By using current drive, they indeed obtained reduced distortion and a reduction of the compression due to voice coil heating and temperature coefficient. However, they had to apply motional feedback with a special second voice coil to get a reasonable damping of the loudspeaker resonance. Perhaps you can apply this to loudspeakers with double voice coils intended for subwoofers, using one coil to drive the loudspeaker and the other for motional feedback.

It is very easy to make an amp with current output (nearly infinite output impedance) instead of voltage output - just find a principle of V/I converter with opamp. But does it make any sense? Every standard electrodynamic speaker must be supplied from a voltage output (zero output impedance) to achieve the best transfer and transient characteristics. Electrodynamic speaker is not designed to be driven from current output.

The Polish Music Center is pleased to announce that celebrations of the annual Paderewski Lecture-Recital will culminate this year on Thursday, October 12th, with a concert and lecture at Newman Recital Hall on the USC Campus. The event begins at 7:30 PM and is free and open to the public. This year's festivities will honor the composer and student of Paderewski, Zygmunt Stojowski (1870-1946), on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of his death and in celebration of the receipt of the Stojowski Collection—a very special gift of manuscripts and personal papers, donated to the PMC by the family of the composer. The Paderewski Lecture-Recitals celebrate the legacy of Ignacy Jan Paderewski (1860-1941), by highlighting the accomplishments of the most distinguished Polish composers. Since their inception in 2002, the event has featured the music of Zygmunt Krauze, Joanna Bruzdowicz, Stanisław Skrowaczewski, and Marta Ptaszyńska in concerts, master classes, and meetings at USC and the greater Los Angeles area. The October 12th event at Newman Hall will feature renowned scholar and conductor, Joseph Herter, who will deliver a retrospective lecture on the life and music of Stojowski, as well as performances by pianist Jonathan Plowright (pictured at right), who recorded Stojowski's compositions for piano and orchestra as well as his solo works on Hyperion Records. In addition, throughout the fall 2006 season, performances of several works by Stojowski are planned on the USC Campus and around Southern California. More details on these events will be posted on the Polish Music Center website: www.usc.edu/dept/polish_music.
Last year, the Polish Music Center celebrated its 20th anniversary year with a series of concerts and educational events throughout the greater Los Angeles area. This year (and quite likely through the next) will be dedicated to maintaining and updating our unique library of books, scores, and manuscripts of works by leading Polish composers and our website, two unique and invaluable resources in the world of Polish music. The PMC library catalogue currently lists over 6000 items. Another 4500 items still await cataloguing. As a result of our on-going inventory, since 2004 we have added over 500 items to the web-listed USC Homer catalogue (library.usc.edu) that now includes some 3500 PMC entries. During the next two years, we will implement a variety of procedures designed to make our holdings more accessible, searchable, and compatible with the USC Library systems. This project is linked to the complete overhaul and redesign of the Polish Music Center website, which will make the PMC catalogue searchable via the Internet. With these changes in mind, we hope to fulfill our two-pronged mission of serving the USC community and the world-wide audience interested in Polish music. This exciting project will require the far-reaching cooperation of various USC departments and other institutions, a substantial amount of manpower, and considerable financial resources. If you did not have a chance to help us during our 2005 Fund Drive or would like to supplement your support, please consider making a contribution to the Polish Music Center, helping to secure the future of this unique institution and furthering our mutual goal of making the richness of Polish culture available to all. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions at (213) 821-1356 or email@example.com. Your contributions may be sent to:

Jacek Kaspszyk was born in Poland and studied at the Warsaw Academy of Music, graduating in 1975, and that same year he made his début at the National Opera in a new production of Don Giovanni. In 1976 he made his début at the Düsseldorf Opera and the next year was appointed as Principal Conductor of the Polish National Radio Symphony, becoming Music Director in 1980. In 1978 he had gained top prize at the Karajan Competition and made his New York début. Moving to London in 1982 he has since appeared regularly with all of the London orchestras and with the Hallé, RSNO, RLPO, Bournemouth Symphony, BBC NOW (with whom he made his Prom début) and BBC SSO. Elsewhere in Europe he has conducted such orchestras as the Berlin Philharmonic, Bayerischer Rundfunk, RSO Berlin, Orchestra National de Paris, Vienna Symphony, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Oslo Philharmonic, Danish National Radio Symphony, Czech Philharmonic, Rotterdam Philharmonic and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, with which he toured Australia. In Asia he has toured with the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony and the Tokyo Philharmonic, as well as visits to the Hong Kong Philharmonic and New Zealand Symphony. In the US he has conducted the San Diego Symphony, Cincinnati Symphony, Winnipeg Symphony, Calgary Philharmonic and at the Detroit Opera. Other operatic appearances include productions at Lyon, Bordeaux, Opéra Comique, Royal Stockholm, English National, Opera North and Scottish Opera. Jacek Kaspszyk returned to Poland in 1994, after an absence of 12 years. He became Principal Guest Conductor of the National Philharmonic and in 1998 took the position of Artistic Director of the National Opera. Last year he took the position of General Director of the National Opera and has overseen a great increase in the company's international reputation, with many productions visiting the US, South America and other European houses. The "Polish-German Year" was inaugurated in August 2005 by the presidents of the two countries in the Berlin Konzerthaus and will continue through the end of April 2006. The main idea of the project is to give both nations the opportunity to learn more about each other, sharing in the cultural bounty and experiencing the traditions, specialties and discoveries of each country. Since Poland and Germany share a border and Poland is now a part of European Union, the partnership between the two nations can only be strengthened by learning more about each other. As part of the "bonding" there will be hundreds of events in many fields such as culture, economics, politics and science. A calendar in Polish can be found at: www.de-pl.info/pl/callendar.php and a calendar in German can be found at: http://www.deutsch-polnisches-jahr.de/veranstaltungen-de-kalender.php.

Films produced outside of Poland: My Summer of Love by Pawel Pawlikowski; One Long Winter Without Fire by Greg Zglinski; Karol—The Man Who Became Pope by Giacomo Battiato; The Unbraid Man by Marta Meszaros. Documentaries include: Arden2, Betrayal, The Battle for Warsaw; After the Gulag; Artur Szyk; and the World Premiere of Life is a Dream in Cinema: Pola Negri. The Festival will present a retrospective of Feliks Falk's films with of The Collector [Komornik] - Poland's official submission to the 2006 Academy Award, Hero of the Year [Bohater roku] and Top Dog [Wodzirej] and special screening of Andrzej Wajda's English-language film The Shadow Line, in honor of his 80th birthday. The year of Krzysztof Kieslowski will be celebrated with special screenings of Camera Buff [Amator], Big Animal [Duże zwierze], The Double Life of Veronique [Podwojne zycie Veroniki], Colors: Blue, Red & White, Short Film About Killing and Short Film About Love at the Bing Theatre at LACMA (May 5-6/12-13) and his documentaries at The Egyptian Theatre (May 14/21/28). The retrospective is organized in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles Filmforum, Polish Cultural Institute in New York, TVP, Polish National Film Archive, Consulate General of Poland in Los Angeles and Polish American Film Society.

The Festival opens with one of the year's highlights - Krzysztof Zanussi's Persona Non Grata and we are thrilled to be screening a retrospective of this highly respected director's work.

15th International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition Chronicle
BOX of 15 CDS:
Interest in the International Chopin Piano Competition has not diminished over the intervening eight decades. On the contrary, each year it attracts a growing number of entrants, conscious of the fact that a prize-winner's title won in Warsaw is for a budding pianist a spring-board to a major international career. Suffice it to recall the names of successive past winners of the Competition: Lev Oborin, Alexander Uninsky, Jakov Zak, Halina Czerny-Stefańska, Bella Davidovich, Adam Harasiewicz, Maurizio Pollini, Martha Argerich, Garrick Ohlsson, Krystian Zimerman, Dang Thai Son, Stanislav Bunin and Yundi Li. But what brings to Warsaw such large numbers of young pianists in the first place? It is the magical power inherent in Chopin's music. As Franz Liszt said: "Chopin was not only an outstanding virtuoso, not only an artist of great renown, he was much more than it—he was Chopin!" The International Frederic Chopin Piano Competition is affiliated with the Geneva-based World Federation of International Music Competitions, of which it is a founding member. Before 1939 the Chopin Competitions was owned and organized by the Warsaw Music Society and the Fryderyk Chopin Higher School of Music (in which Aleksander Michałowski and Jerzy Żurawlew were faculty members) and, after the war, by the Fryderyk Chopin Society in Warsaw. The 15th International Frederic Chopin Piano Competition was held in Warsaw on 2-24 October 2005. [Stanisław Dybowski]

Canada's DART completes its mission in the Philippines
News Release / December 16, 2013 / Project number: NR - 13.412
OTTAWA — The Government of Canada announced today that the Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) has completed its humanitarian assistance mission in the Philippines and is currently planning for redeployment to Canada.
The decision to depart was made in consultation with the Philippines government and the United Nations. Philippine authorities have expressed their gratitude to Canada, along with other nations, some of which have already commenced the hand over of relief efforts to the Philippine military, local government authorities and civilian aid organizations. The Government of the Philippines has also confirmed that their requirements for the relief phase have been met, and civilian partners and the local government are now positioned to attend to the remaining needs of the population. The mission is now one of long term reconstruction and it is one in which Canada will continue to play a role.
"From the very beginning, Canada played a leading role in relief efforts, launching a rapid and robust response that provided immediate assistance to the people and the Government of the Philippines,
" said the Hon. Rob Nicholson, Minister of National Defence. "The Government of Canada deployed personnel and equipment within days of Typhoon Haiyan's devastation, which helped alleviate distress while also assisting local authorities and non-governmental organizations to reach individuals affected by the storm.
Task Force Philippines, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) contribution to Government of Canada relief efforts in the Philippines, included more than 315 CAF personnel with a range of specialities:
- Engineering to assist in clearing debris, opening roads, re-establishing electricity, remediating washouts and assessing structures such as bridges;
- Water purification to produce clean drinking water;
- Mobile medical teams to treat injuries and identify potential sites for assistance;
- Helicopter pilots and crew to extend the reach of personnel to isolated areas and provide reconnaissance and assistance as required;
- Air transport and maintenance crews;
- Logistics to support the delivery of humanitarian supplies and the daily operations of Task Force Philippines; and
- Liaison officers (CAF personnel of Filipino descent) to act as vital links between local authorities, international aid agencies and CAF members.
Over the course of their deployment, CAF personnel produced 493 346 litres of purified water available for distribution, treated 6 525 medical patients, cleared over 131 kilometres of roads and delivered 230 485 pounds of food and humanitarian assistance goods on behalf of non-governmental organizations and local authorities.
"Our DART personnel deployed to the Philippines to enable the delivery of humanitarian assistance and to work alongside Government of Canada partners, local authorities and other international organizations and agencies as they grew their capacity to provide medium to longer-term disaster recovery,
" said Lieutenant-General Stu Beare, Commander Canadian Joint Operations Command. "Conditions on the ground have improved and we are beginning to withdraw Canadian Armed Forces personnel and equipment from the region while the Government of the Philippines, Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, and non-governmental organizations carry on with reconstruction efforts.
The DART provided a unique, rapidly deployable capability that enabled the CAF to bridge the gap and provide emergency relief on Panay Island until local authorities and international aid partners were able to focus on and coordinate recovery and reconstruction efforts. This multidisciplinary military organization was deployed to the Philippines via three CAF CC-177 Globemaster III aircraft that operated nearly continuously between November 11 and 30. During the mission, the Globemasters transported approximately 750 000 pounds of payload to ensure the DART was able to respond appropriately to the crisis.
Initial reconnaissance elements of the DART were first deployed to the Philippines with the Interdepartmental Strategic Support Team (ISST) on November 10, as part of Canada's Whole of Government response to the devastation caused by Typhoon Haiyan. Over the course of the next two weeks, DART personnel will return to Canada, with some equipment taking longer to return.
The DART is a multidisciplinary military organization designed to deploy on short notice anywhere in the world in response to situations ranging from natural disasters to complex humanitarian emergencies. It is one component of Canada's toolkit to respond to natural disasters abroad.

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Court fixes inquiry into FR filed by Sunday Leader journalist[TamilNet, Wednesday, 23 September 2009, 08:07 GMT]The three member bench of the Supreme Court Friday listed the Fundamental Rights petition filed by journalist Arthur Wamanan Sornalingam of the Sunday leader to be taken up on November 9 for inquiry as the court was told that the two parties concerned were agreeable to a mutually negotiated settlement. The petitioner cited the Police Chief, CID (Special Unit) OIC, its DIG and SSP, Minister Mano Wijeratne and the Attorney General as respondents. The Chief Justice Asoka de Silva, Jagath Balapatebendi and S.I.Imam were the members of the bench. The Supreme Court had earlier granted leave to proceed with the fundamental rights violation petition filed by Mr. Wamanan for the alleged infringement of his right to equality and equal protection of the law, discrimination on the grounds of race, language and place of birth, the freedom from arbitrary arrest and detention as well as freedom of speech and expression including publication. In his petition, Mr. Wamanan said that on October 24 last year at about 4:15 p.m. OIC Chandana de Silva and another person came to his premises and requested him to hand over copies of the bills received by him for the use of his mobile telephone but did not give any reasons for doing so. He had told the CID officers he was using his mothers mobile phone and handed over copies of the bills. Later OIC de Silva had requested Mr. Wamanan to accompany him to the CID office saying he had no choice in the matter. Then he was arbitrarily arrested and detained by the CID on a complaint made by Minister Mano Wijeratne that he had threatened the latter over the phone. He and his mother were bundled into a car and taken to the CID office and that the police refused to record his statement in Tamil or in English. |

This is a true Southern California Epic Ride. Offering huge vistas, off-camber narrow singletrack, ridges, stream beds, rocks, sand, cacti, this ride will nearly overload your senses. This point-to-point route takes you through a varied array of desert trails from the foot of the north slope of Santa Rosa Mountain at 4500 plus feet down to Palm Springs 29 miles away at 500 feet. This is not a downhiller's dream as you will climb over 2,000 feet while descending over 6,000. If this area was a seafood restaurant this ride would be the Captain's Platter. This ride stresses self-sufficiency and you need to have a fair bit of navigational skills as well. I highly recommend that the first time you do this ride go with someone who has done it before. While this is not too technical of a route, due to it's length only solid and fit intermediate or better riders should attempt this route.
Note to repeat offenders: I revised the route and maps in March of 2007 to cut out some sand slogs and add some better single tracks than the original. If you have any of the old maps, descriptions, or GPS data, purge them and use the fresher stuff. I have made enough changes that mixing and matching the old with the new can get you even more confused than my normal trail rambling Engrish.
Lower Trailhead:
From the San Diego Area - Head North on the I-15 and take the CA-79 South exit when coming into Temecula. Take CA-79 South (its actually more like east) 17.8 miles to the CA-371. Turn left (North) onto CA-371 and take it for 20.7 miles. to CA-74. Turn right onto CA-74 and take it east 24.2 miles down to Palm Desert. Turn left onto CA-111 (East Palm Canyon Drive) and take it for 8.1 miles to the Rimrock Shopping Center (Vons) at 4733 East Palm Canyon Drive which at the intersection with the Gene Autry Trail. Get directions from your current location. |
Upper Trailhead: From the lower trailhead, turn right onto CA-111 (East Palm Canyon Drive) take it for 8.1 miles to Highway 74. Turn right onto Highway 74 and take it for 18.2 miles. Shortly after passing the sign for Ribbonwood Drive, turn right onto Pine View Rd and travel .2 miles until the pavement ends, park here. Get directions from your current location.
The PDF map to the left is two sheets sized to be printed on legal size paper (8.5" by 14").
Electronic Files: GPX and KML. Note the KML file contains all of the trails on the map while the GPX file contains just the routes as described.
Elevation Profile for this ride. Roughly 2000' of climbing and 6000' feet of descent.
HAZARDS: Cacti - Many types that are just off the trail and often infringing into the trail's airspace. Exposure along canyon sides and some technical spots as well as a few steep descents. Also this is very long ride and at some points you are quite far from help. This ride can also test you navigational skills as well as your self-sufficiency skills. Carry plenty of fluids, foods and a spare derailleur hanger would be wise as well. This guy did not and he had a 6 mile hike back the way he came as a result. I highly recommend not doing this ride by yourself.
WHEN: This is not a summer time ride! The heat can be really bad here, I would say this a late fall to early spring ride.
Ride Description: NOTE: This is a very long route were differences between cyclo-computer calibrations can create significant differences in mileage readings by the rides end. Additionally, GPS units widely vary in the manner in which they factor in elevation change into total miles traveled. See my GPS and TOPOs page for more information on this. I am using a lot of relative mileage measurements in this description (i.e. 2 miles past this ... instead of... at 24.3 miles) in a effort reduce confusion that can arise from these differences.
