GUATEMALA: Military Allies Take Ex-Guerrillas, Journalists to Court
Relatives of former military personnel and businessmen are bringing lawsuits against ex guerrillas and journalists in Guatemala in connection with the 1960-1996 civil war — a legal offensive that human rights defenders say is politically motivated.
'I studied two of the lawsuits filed by ex military personnel, and their legal basis is very thin. Evidently the plaintiffs want to transform themselves from perpetrators to victims,' Ramón Cadena, a representative of the International Commission of Jurists, an NGO working for the rule of law for human rights, told IPS.
'They are also seeking to criminalise various professionals, who today are working for peace, for the work they do as journalists or human rights defenders,' he said.
The armed conflict between Guatemalan security forces and leftwing guerrillas left 250,000 people dead or disappeared, most of them rural indigenous villagers, with the army being responsible for 93 percent of the crimes, according to the United Nations-sponsored Historical Clarification Commission (CEH).
But the battle continues, now in the legal arena.
Just a few days before the Dec. 29 commemoration of the 15th anniversary of the signing of the peace agreement that ended the armed conflict, the law courts received three lawsuits against ex guerrillas and human rights activists.
One of them was filed Nov. 2 by businessman Ricardo Méndez against 26 former members of the now-defunct Guerrilla Army of the Poor (EGP) and Guatemalan Labour Party (PGT), insurgent groups active during the war, whom he alleges kidnapped and tortured him 29 years ago.
One month later, Estela de Mata, head of the Guatemalan Association of Military Widows (ASOMILGUA), formally accused 32 former members of both guerrilla factions 'of committing terrorist acts.'
The third lawsuit was presented Dec. 12 by U.S. coffee businessman Theodore Plocharski against 52 former insurgents, accusing them of the kidnapping, torture and murder of diplomats, including the 1968 assassination of John Gordon Main, then U.S. ambassador in Guatemala.
Among the accused is Yolanda Colom, the sister of outgoing social democratic President Álvaro Colom, and Margarita and Laura Hurtado Paz, relatives of Attorney General Claudia Paz y Paz, who is in charge of criminal prosecutions.
Human rights activist Iduvina Hernández and journalist Marielos Monzón are also named as defendants in the lawsuit. They presented themselves to the Attorney General's Office to clear their names.
'It is perfectly well known that I have never belonged to any political or guerrilla organisation nor ever committed any crime; I am being accused of these things in order to cast aspersions on my character and so prevent me from working in my profession and publishing opinion-editorials,' said Monzón, who has defended access to justice for victims of the counterinsurgency war.
In the view of Magdalena Sarat, of the National Coordination of Widows of Guatemala (CONAVIGUA) - an NGO working for the rights of indigenous Maya women who lost family members in the civil war - the legal offensive carried out by allies of the armed forces is a strategy 'to silence the survivors of the internal armed conflict so that they will stop denouncing the abuses committed by the army.'
Sarat told IPS, 'This is revenge because some cases of genocide and military personnel responsible for the massacres have been prosecuted, thanks to the Attorney General's work.'
The Attorney General's Office has secured the arrest and conviction of a number of military and police officers who were found guilty of genocide, forced disappearance and other abuses against civilians during the war.
In 2010, two former police officers were sentenced to 40 years in prison for the Feb. 18, 1984 forced disappearance of Fernando García, a university student and trade unionist.
This year's arrests included those of retired general Héctor López, accused of genocide in the massacres of over 300 persons between 1978 and 1985, and former chief of police Héctor Bol, for the disappearance of García, as well as other members of the armed forces facing prosecution.
But Sarat said 'the highest ranking military commanders, responsible for massacres of the indigenous population, are still at large, like general Efraín Ríos Montt' (1982-1983), who is accused of carrying out a scorched earth policy that involved the wholesale destruction of some 440 villages.
'And yet we see him going about free and easy, without a care in the world, after they left thousands of widows and orphans,' she said.
Sarat acknowledged that crimes committed by the guerrillas during the war should also be cleared up, but she emphasised that the army is to blame for 93 percent of the human rights abuses perpetrated during the war, compared to just three percent attributed to the guerrillas, according to the CEH.
Héctor Nuila, a lawmaker of the leftwing Guatemalan National Revolutionary Unity, formerly a coalition of guerrilla movements and now a political party, told IPS the lawsuits brought against ex insurgents, journalists and activists 'are politically motivated.'
He said part of the strategy is to seek the removal of Attorney General Paz y Paz, who has succeeded in getting several military officers arrested and convicted for abuses committed during the conflict.
'The plaintiffs have publicly stated that the competence of the attorney general is on trial. Moreover, they have accused people of crimes that were committed before they had even been born, and have accused people who happen to have worked very hard on strengthening the security and justice systems,' Nuila said.
On the other side of the issue, they are standing firm. 'I hope the attorney general does not represent just one group. They (the guerrillas) were terrorists who planted bombs, blew up bridges and killed innocent people and businesspersons. I hope the attorney general will investigate their families,' de Mata said.
'Members of the army are being prosecuted for war crimes. Now the Attorney General's Office should investigate the criminal acts committed by the guerrillas,' Plocharski told the media.

ASHLAND —The Ashland Grizzlies dedicated Friday night's season opener to an AHS student who lost his battle with cancer Thursday, then controlled their emotions long enough to squash Klamath Union 38-0 at Walter A. Phillips Field.
Danial White completed 20 of 28 passes for 238 yards and four touchdowns — two to Matt Hedges — and Ashland's defense held the defending Skyline Conference champions to 141 yards of total offense while producing four sacks as the Grizzlies followed up their Pacific Rim Bowl win with another impressive showing.
"They challenged us to throw the ball and we did, and we made some nice throws," Ashland head coach Charlie Hall said. "I wanted to really see some of our receivers step up ... and they did. (Hedges) did a nice job, but we just gotta get it consistent. There are some playmakers out there."
In a game that was competitive for about one quarter, the Grizzlies scored on five of their six first-half possessions, including four touchdowns, taking a 31-0 halftime lead when White hit tight end Parker Layton on a 3-yard quick slant with seven seconds to go in the second quarter.
The Grizzlies added one more touchdown on their opening drive of the second half when White zipped a 26-yard pass to Shashi Penn, then were content to play solid defense and keep-away offense the rest of the way.
Already crackling with opening-night intensity, the game took on greater meaning minutes before kickoff when Ashland observed a moment of silence for Michael Bruhn, a student who died less than 24 hours prior.
"A lot of the team found out this morning at walk-through, and that was pretty rough," Hedges said of the Bruhn's passing. "He was going to be a senior and we went to elementary school together. It was a great experience that we could come out here and do that for him because he's watching over us."
Ashland had no trouble moving the ball against a Klamath Union team that crushed the Grizzlies last season and was picked to win the Skyline Conference again this season. But the Grizzlies made that prediction look like a major stretch, especially in the opening half.
The rout began with one big play. On the first snap of Ashland's second drive, White dropped back at the Grizzlies' own 47 and hit Hedges in stride 30 yards downfield for what turned out to be a 53-yard touchdown strike.
After forcing a KU punt, the Grizzlies took over again at their own 18 and drove 82 yards in 10 plays capped by White's 14-yard touchdown pass to Hedges on the first play of the second quarter. The march included two third-down conversions — a short pass to Hedges on third-and-one, and a quick out to Penn on third-and-nine.
After the Grizz defense held again, this time a quick three-and-out, Ashland took over at its own 28 and drove 72 yards in less than three minutes. In one of the highlights of the night, fullback Mason Montgomery caught a pass in the flat on third-and-three, deked out one defender and stiff-armed another before rumbling all the way to the Pelicans 30-yard line for a 35-yard gain. Three plays later, Mason Dow burst up the middle 14 yards to give Ashland a 20-0 lead.
The Grizzlies' defense aided their next two drives, as Klamath Union failed to get off punts following consecutive three-and-out possessions. Ashland made the Pelicans pay for the bad snaps, kicking a field goal after the first miscue and scoring a touchdown after the second.
"I think (Klamath Union) is a little bit down," Hall said. "They had a great senior class last year that manhandled us physically. I think our kids took that to heart having watched the film. Most of those kids are back from last year's team. I think there was a little response to embarrassment from last year on our part."
Ashland's final drive of the first half was another gem, with White coming through again by completing a clutch 20-yard strike to Sebastian Warren on third-and-10. That advanced the Grizzlies to the KU 15 with less than 50 seconds to go, and five plays later Layton held on to White's bullet after briefly bobbling the ball before falling to the turf in the end zone.
Hedges led the Grizzlies' receiving corps with three catches for 69 yards, while Layton added five catches for 48 yards and Penn four grabs for 30 yards.
Ryne Robitz gained 82 of Ashland's 162 rushing yards, as Ashland's balanced attack produced 400 yards of total offense to Klamath Union's 141.
The Pelicans' best chance to score may have come on the final play of the second quarter, when Dave Ovgard fielded Ashland's kickoff and broke through the Grizzlies' containment before being chased down at the Ashland 40 for a 57-yard return. Besides that, the Pelicans were bullied by the bigger, faster Grizzlies, who held KU to 53 yards rushing on 40 carries and pushed the Pelicans back 31 yards on their four sacks.
"We had one returner on defense from last year and two on offense, so it's a really young group," Klamath Union head coach Tom Smith said. "We saw a lot of good things, but a lot of little things that need to be cleaned up adds up to a lot of points for the other team. And this is probably one of the best Ashland teams I've seen in about five years. They're just solid across the board — defensively, offensively, they have a pretty complete package."

DIV. IV BASEBALL: Minster get no-hitter from Knapke, Bremen bows out
MINSTER — Austin Knapke is no ordinary number three in a rotation.
Minster's senior starter got the ball with injuries afflicting the Wildcats' top two starters and tossed a five-inning no-hitter in Minster's 10-0 win over Fort Recovery in a Division IV sectional title game.
"Throughout the course of these last two weeks we had Adam Niemeyer not be able to throw because of an elbow," Minster head coach Mike Wiss said. "Last night Doug Huber had a ball hit off his right thumb and he is now getting X-rays. Austin was pitcher number three. That is not the way you draw it up.
Knapke gave up no hits through five innings and went just one batter above the minimum in Minster's 10-0 win over Fort Recovery.
Trey Rutschilling of St. Henry dominated the second game. Rutschilling struck out 13 in St. Henry's 6-0 win over New Bremen.
Minster (20-6) will play the winner of Ottoville and Spencerville next Wednesday at Coldwater at 4:30, while St. Henry (13-11) will face the winner between Spencerville and Lincolnview in the second game at 6:45.
"This is two tournament games and two shutouts for our pitching staff," St. Henry head coach John Dorner said. "Trey got himself into a couple of situations, but he was able to concentrate and he was able to work his way out of them. I went out there both times and challenged him and he responded."
New Bremen threatened in each of the first three innings getting a runner to third with one out in the first, a runner to second in the second and had the bases loaded in the third where they had a runner thrown out at the plate.
"When we had the guys on base," Cardinals head coach Greg Cox said. "The guys at the plate didn't deliver. We didn't hit the ball and we struck out. We ended the majority of the innings striking out."

The Blues' interim boss Rafa Benitez will leave the club at the end of the season, and a host of former Chelsea favourites including Gus Poyet, Didier Deschamps and Zola have all been linked with the post.
The Italian has guided Watford into contention for promotion from the Championship in his debut season at Vicarage Road, sparking suggestions the Blues may make an approach for the 46-year-old.
"No one from Chelsea has spoken to me," Zola told the Daily Mail. "I am respectful for what Watford have done for me and I am focusing on getting the job done here.
|Gianfranco Zola is 17/2 with Paddy Power to be the next Chelsea manager
Zola left Chelsea shortly before Roman Abramovich's takeover of the club in 2003 having scored 59 goals and established himself as one of the most popular players in the west London side's history.
And the Russian tycoon attempted to bring him back to the Premier League only to be turned down as Zola sought more coaching experience.
"Mr Abramovich asked me to be part of Chelsea again but, at that moment, I didn't even consider going into management as I didn't think I had the necessary qualities," he added.
"Mr Abramovich brought a lot of resources, and very good players came in and the club became one of the most successful in Europe. All I can say is the club deserve it. The way they treated me, and all the others, was special."

Don't let your crop go to the birds! You've worked hard all season - make sure you've got something to show for it. Protect your investment of time and money with AviGard® Bird Netting and say good-bye to lost tonnage, damaged fruit and off-flavors birds can leave behind.
Developed in cooperation with growers nation-wide, AviGard® Bird Netting is made by Plantra and designed to fully protect whether you're a commercial grower or backyard enthusiast. Made exclusively from virgin, high density polyethylene (HDPE) resin and fortified with superior UV inhibitors, Avigard is designed to last for seasons to come. Whether you're looking for vineyard bird netting, blueberry netting or netting to protect another fruit crop "AviGard's got you covered" and helps make sure you've got a harvest to show for a season's worth of effort.
Unlike partial control measures like sound and visual scare devices which leave your crop fully exposed, AviGard has you covered providing the most effective bird barrier between "beak and berry." Don't wait until the birds have found your field – choose AviGard to assure both the quantity and quality of your crop!
The Choice Is Yours......
Netting is the only reliable way to protect your crop 24/7 - It's on the job continuously and doesn't take early morning and evening bird feeding times or weekends or other days off when you or your crews are away.
Netting provides a "complete" barrier between the birds and your fruit to preserve tonnage - Unlike scare devices which birds quickly determine to be harmless (sometimes in less than a few hours), netting keeps the birds at bay and stays on the job to achieve full harvests. Birds can wipe out an entire crop in a weekend. Netting keeps what you've produced safe and maturing until you want to pick – no more lost crops, no more wasted seasons.
Netting completely preserves fruit flavor and appearance. The old methods of bird deterrence – cannons (where legal), lethal shooting (illegal for all but European starlings, English house sparrows and pigeons), balloons, etc. – cannot prevent access to your crop and leave fruit entirely exposed to damage that harms appearance and flavor.
Once birds peck the fruit, the damage is done! Bird-pecked fruit harbors bacterial and fungal pathogens that ruin a crop for good – fruit sold on appearance has to be discarded and fruit to be processed can be ridden with off-flavors. The bottom line is: When it comes to protecting appearance and flavor…..
Netting is quiet and legal - Netting doesn't wake your neighbors up with cannon blasts, sirens, horns, whistles, or any number of loud noises birds quickly learn to simply ignore (often in a matter of hours). In addition, local ordinances may severely restrict the use of auditory scare devices.
Netting is also a legal means to control depredating birds unlike shooting which is dangerous around workers and neighbors and depending upon your immediate jurisdiction it may be illegal to discharge a firearm in your locale. Lethal control measures, like shooting (even where firearms can be legally operated), is allowed for only three unprotected species:
House Sparrow (passer domesticus)
Starlings (disambiguation), and the
Common pigeon or Rock Dove (Columba livia)
House Sparrow (passer domesticus)
Starlings (disambiguation), and the
Common pigeon or Rock Dove (Columba livia)
All other species are protected by state and federal statutes. Always check with Federal, state, and local ordinances before attempting to control depredating birds by with firearms or pyrotechnics.
AviGard® is the "grower's choice" for fast, easy, and effective bird control in the vineyard, orchard, or commercial berry operation because:
AviGard is soft on your hands and on the fruit - Made from strong but flexible knitted material, AviGard Crop Netting is safe and easy to work with without gloves and is not abrasive to you or fruit the way extruded netting can be.
AviGard fits your operation - AviGard's knitted design is flexible to be used in a variety of systems and can be applied from bags or wound on to spools to adapt to the equipment you have available.
Avigard Crop Netting comes in three basic styles, Flex™ Net, Easy-Fit™ Net, and Hex Net.
Choose from 3 styles:

At least for the meantime, Sharron Angle won't be continuing her fight to reach Capitol Hill after all.
Angle, who was defeated by embattled Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada's 2010 Senate race, is abandoning her run in a special election in the state's second congressional district.
Her decision comes after a court decision granting the state parties the power to choose candidates in the race to replace Rep. Dean Heller, who was appointed to the Senate seat made vacant by the resignation of former Sen. John Ensign.
"I do not have any desire to participate in a process described by others as a "ballot royale" or a situation where the party central committees choose their nominees because it makes a mockery of the most important constitutional element in exercising freedom," she said in a statement Wednesday.
You can read her full statement here.
Angle added that she is not ruling out a future run for office and that she will make "additional announcements" about her plans soon.

By: Dr Lynda Kelly, Category: Science, Date: 02 Feb 2011
Several people have asked about Lizard Island and Cyclone Yasi, expected to hit Queensland tonight. Here is what we know at present.
Via Jeff Leis, Senior Principal Research Scientist:
"Lizard Island is outside the zone of predicted 'destructive winds' (>125 km/h), and just on the northern edge of the zone of 'strong gale force winds'(76-87 km/h). See the map at the link below. The warning below the map makes sobering reading. So, assuming the predictions are correct, Lizard should be affected, but OK. Lizard will be exposed to southerly and westerly winds as the cyclone passes them to the south, which will result in some erosion on Casurina beach. I communicated with Anne yesterday, and they were battening down."
The map Jeff refers to is on the Bureau of Meterology website.
Via Glenn Hodges, Manager Facilities:
"Just to follow on from Jeff's comments, I have spoken with Lizard this morning and they are currently implementing their well rehearsed cyclone plans. It is expected to pass to the south and the main impact at the moment may be the expected storm surge which could threaten some of the structures close to the beach. There are currently 25 people at the station at the moment expecting a bumpy night."
Via Anne Hoggett, Director, Lizard Island Research Station
"Thanks to everyone for your messages of support.
BOM's forecasting for the cyclone has proved excellent to date. As long as Yasi keeps doing what is predicted, we should just clip the edge of gale force winds (34 to 60 knots) in the early hours of tomorrow. We have experienced such winds before and don't expect any major problems.
We are also as prepared as we can be if the cyclone changes course towards us: all boats are out of the water, loose things are secured, and cyclone shutters are up on our ultimate bolthole, the Thyne Reid Wing. There are 25 people remaining at the station and about 22 staff still at the resort.
We considered evacuating yesterday and decided that Cairns was a much more dangerous option than Lizard. Several researchers chose to leave yesterday to get back to homes and families in Townsville. We will probably lose communications by tonight and are on our own now until this is all over. Our thoughts are with the people between Port Douglas and Townsville who are in for a hammering."
We wish them all the best, and our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Queensland over the next few days.
This from one of our Conservators, Heather MacKay:
"I spoke with Sue Valis last night who left the museum two years ago to take up a position as senior conservator at the Museum of Tropical Queensland in Townsville. Unfortunately the cyclone will be bearing down on the CBD with the force of a Grade 2 cyclone which will most likely intensify before it hits tonight. Sue and her colleagues have worked frantically for the last two days to move collection material off the ground as the worst case scenario for them is 1.5 metres of flood waters throughout their collection stores. They are expecting a tidal swell of up to 7 metres which will flood a lot of Townsville. Sue lives just out of the predicted areas of inundation, however it is an unpredictable disaster they are facing."
Best of luck!
Cyclone Yasi has been upgraded to a category 5 cyclone. More here.

19w, 2d. Given that this is my third pregnancy, I've had plenty of experience with folks who think that my body = their business. I've gotten my fair share of dirty looks and comments from people who think I'm misbehaving during pregnancy during everything from carrying too many bags or a child while pregnant to drinking what they thought was beer—well, I guess it was beer, but of the non-alcoholic variety. Luckily for him and me, my husband knows better than to second-guess what I'm eating or doing while pregnancy this time around—but unfortunately there's a new sheriff of the pregnancy police, my 5-year-old son, Ben.
I'll preface this by saying that Ben has only the best of intentions, but I'm feeling a little harassed these days. He's got a lot of questions about everything from how big the baby is and what it's doing right now to why I use a pregnancy pillow (to help me sleep comfortably on my side), to why I take three pills in the mornings (prenatal vitamin, DHA supplement and baby aspirin—the latter for my high blood pressure), and most commonly whether I'm "allowed" to be doing whatever it is I happen to be doing at that moment. Here are a few examples from recent weeks:
We had a two-hour drive back into NYC the other day, and while I had packed snacks for the kids, I hadn't thought to pack anything for myself aside from water. Of course, I got hungry and remembered that I had tucked away some special candy from Sweden a friend had brought as a hostess gift. Admittedly, I might have gone a little overboard with the candy-eating, but I was about to put the bag away on my own when a little voice piped up from the back seat, "Mom, I think you've had enough candy. You need to put it away now 'cause it's not good for you or the baby… I'm not saying you can never have any candy again, but just that you can't have any more right now." Sigh. He was totally right.
Ben recently came into my bedroom one afternoon and found me reclining in bed on my back. "What are you doing?! You know sleeping on your back isn't good for the baby! You need to be on your side!" I tried pointing out that I wasn't really fully lying on my back, but he wasn't hearing any of it. I guess I only have myself to thank for that one, as I had explained to him that it's recommended for pregnant women to sleep on their side so as not to decrease blood flow to the baby.
At a dinner out last weekend, I ordered a non-alcoholic beer while everyone else was drinking wine. (In the past, I've felt OK about having an occasional glass of wine during pregnancy, but given that I have to take these baby aspirin which shouldn't mix with alcohol, I've steered completely clear of any booze this time around.) When Ben saw that I had a bottle of O'Doul's in front of me, he freaked out. "But, Mom?! What about the baby? You're not supposed to drink alcohol while you're pregnant!" I explained to him that it was a non-alcoholic beer—at which point he asked if he could have one too… I demurred.
Have you ever felt harassed by anyone about your behavior during pregnancy—friends, family or a stranger? Leave a comment.

Paying for graduate school studies just got a little easier for students attending Andrews University, beginning with the 2008-2009 school year. The university's new Graduate Scholarship Program will be the first university-wide program to offer scholarships to eligible students in most entry-level graduate programs. The graduate scholarships will offer, for those who qualify, an overall percentage discount on the specific tuition for that students' program, based on the student's GRE or GMAT scores.
G. Lyndon Furst, who retired in December as Andrews University's dean of Graduate Studies, said the new scholarship has been a dream of his since he first assumed the position in 2002. "Nearly 40% of Andrews students are in the School of Graduate Studies," according to Furst. "This new scholarship program demonstrates how important graduate education is to Andrews."
The scholarships are available to master's-level students accepted into programs which require a GRE or GMAT, or first-time graduate students in advanced programs (for two years only), who enroll for the first time for the 2008–2009 term and who have current (within five years) GRE (or GMAT for School of Business students) scores at the time of enrollment. The Graduate Scholarship Program will not be available to most doctoral students or to students in programs with subsidized tuition rates, such as some of those within the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews.
Scholarships are calculated as a percent of tuition and awarded as follows: Those with a GRE score of 1000 would receive a scholarship equal to 10% of tuition; those with 1200, 25% of tuition; and those with 1300, 50% of tuition. The GMAT scholarship will be based on scores of 500, 550, and 600. For students who have taken the exam more than once, the latest exam scores (prior to enrollment) will be considered.
Students who entered a graduate program at Andrews during the fall 2007 or spring 2008 semesters, completed their GRE/GMAT exam by Jan. 7, 2008, and who would otherwise qualify for the GRE/GMAT scholarship, will be given the GRE/GMAT scholarship for the remainder of their program, starting with the summer 2008 term. Students in advanced programs entering with bachelor's degrees will be given the GRE/GMAT scholarship for the remainder of their two years of eligibility after enrollment.
"The graduate scholarship gives students who want to attend grad school in the context of a Christian worldview a little bit more assistance," said Furst. "It's a major step forward for the university in making grad school more affordable."
Rebecca May, director of University Relations, added, "We have been providing graduate education for nearly 50 years at Andrews. It is vital that we offer graduate scholarship support so these students can continue their important work."

I bought my XO off of eBay. I was going to install Debian Linux on it and use Skype and talk to my wife and son while I am stationed in Iraq.
At first, the video that it captured from the webcam was about 10% of the window, it looked like it was bunched at the top of the window, but you could see the lines move when you moved your hand over the camera, so it sensed movement. I opened it and tried to reconnect the webcam ribbon, and now nothing.
The light still comes on so I know that it's getting power. Is it hardware? Is there a trick? Should I just keep trying to fix the ribbon in perfectly?
I need it fixed before I ship out. Thanks in advance for any help! Merry X-Mas!
