Hurghada, Luxor and Marsa Alam The guide was updated:Like so many of the towns and cities of Egypt, Hurghada as well as Luxor and Marsa Alam are living history museums. These three cities are positioned as three corners of a triangle in the Eastern Desert. Hurghada, a former fishing harbour, stretches some 15 miles or so along the waterfront and is one of the foremost areas for water sports. Marsa Alam is also found by the Red Sea coast, and tourism is just starting to make an impact. The city of Luxor, with its jaw-droppingly beautiful monuments built by the hands of ancient craftsmen, lies 150 miles or so inland on the banks of the mighty River Nile.

"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda
Someone can (and should) correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember back when the Biogenesis thing broke, there was a discussion on MLBN, and it seemed like the Yankees' potential financial reponsibilities were more a function of the A-Rod contract itself, than something to be determined by MLB.
It came down to what Rodriguez did, and whether that was in breach of the contract. Any suspension (paid or unpaid, and of whatever length) was one thing, but the Yankees' ability to void the contract was another. In the case of the former, I suspect insurance kicks in to alleviate the tangible fiscal burden (you may continue to debate whether the contract should count against the salary cap, regardless of who's paying it). But the latter is what the Yankees would really love to accomplish, at this point, and it would also satisfy my own sense of justice.
Then again, I'm also remembering Harold Reynolds being involved in this MLBN discussion, so it's entirely possible misinformation was being floated about the ability to void a contract. I sort of think there HAS to be some kind of boilerplate "conduct unbecoming" type clause in all MLB contracts, regardless of whether it's a mega-contract like A-Rod's or not... but like I said: I do not possess anything resembling expert knowledge in this area.
I've found that many baseball fans could care less about Rose in one way or another. He's fading into history. It's ancient history. Young folks today live minute to minute, one text or tweet at a time.
The folks who love him the most, and also hate him the most, are mostly Reds fans. Which is how we've always treated our pro athletes here in Cincinnati.
Dougdirt.......no one, and for sure not me, is saying Pete does not deserve every last bit of his punishment.....what I am saying is this, it's time to move on and forgive Pete for what he has done.....and when I say forgive I am referring to the HoF voters, they need to forgive him and let him have his place in history,,...regardless if you like it or not Doug, Pete rose is in the history books and will be for a long time, Pete rose is someone that baseball could use as a teaching tool......yet people like you think that 20 years is still not good enough, but some people, and I am not saying this is like you, but some people will watch every steroid induced stat amd record and love every bit of it....cheaters like PED users have affected the results of games way more than Pete ever did.
Most people have forgotten about Pete rose because that's what baseball wants us to do....and I am fine with that....baseball is still a great game to watch and follow without Pete being involved in some fashion, I just think he could make a difference and baseball could use some good stories about right now....
Let me ask you this Doug.....lets say your father or son or your close family member decided to have a few drinks and drive home and get in a wreck and kill someone.....they plead guilty to manslaughter and the judge orders them to prison for 5 years......after one year the judge decides to let them out on good behavior, would you tell them to stay in there for 4 more years because that's the bed they made and they need to lay in it? Or would you accept them home because the judge feels they are reformed? Pete agreed to the lifetime ban with hopes that he could be re-instated, he never knew it would be 20 years down the road and still no admission to the HOF.....his bed was made and he's got bud bugs he's been laying there so long, when his bed was made it was made with bamboo and palm leaves, that's how long ago it's been.....lets move on. That's all I am saying. Not to mention he is a Red. Nuff said
RedEye (08-01-2013)
I've always been fascinated by how passionate some people are on the Keep Pete Punished side of the debate.
Rounding third and heading for home...
A-Rod could play the last two games of his career for Trenton tonight and tomorrow. That would be a weird result.
What's wrong with that? Was part of his punishment to not profit and make money? Baseball was Pete's sole source of income and when he chose to accept a lifetime ban, he also chose to not be able to make an income from MLB.....Pete, just as you or I or any other normal American has put his foot forward and found other ways to make income....would you be happier if Pete were working in a factory on 2nd shift with mandatory overtime? The guy is trying to make a living and while he might not be doing what you or I would be doing to make money, he is still making a "legal" living and he's doing so at a much lower financial rate than he would be making if he were allowed to work in baseball again.
If Pete were allowed back in baseball and lets just say Walt hired him as hitting coach.....Pete would be the type of coach who never leaves the field.....he would outwork everyone and he would not sleep til his players were doing what they are supposed to do....for crying out loud, he was working 60 hours a week signing autographs when he met his now wife.....she is the sole reason he is not working 7 days a week, 12-18 hour days each and every day of the week.....yet some people still want him punished even more.
I wish more people would research how Pete has lived his life since his banishment....yes he hangs at the casino, 99% of his time at the casino is spent sitting in a fold up chair writing his name on a baseball or a photo.....very little time is spent at the tables, but even if he spent 100% of his time playing poker, it's legal.....sometimes I wish Pete would be our hitting coach, get the primadonnas out of the game.....drew Stubbs would have learned how to bunt I can assure you that...
RedEye (08-02-2013)
I don't think baseball people have forgotten about Pete. It is impossible to do so. The guy has more hits than anyone ever. He was one of the best 100 players of all time. History won't forget him.
Here is the difference between Pete and the drinking and driving.... Pete accepted a lifetime ban with a chance to apply for reinstatement. That is the punishment he is still serving. The drunk driver plead out to 5 years with a possibility for early release. The driver got his early release, which was a possibility in the deal he agreed to. Pete is serving a deal that hasn't been outside of the terms he agreed to.
And just for the record, I would pretty much distance myself from anyone, family included, who decided to drink and drive.
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less, but requires additional unattended time.
YIELD: Makes 2 1/4 cups
- 3/4 pound eggplant (about 1 small)
- 2 tablespoons coarse salt
- 1 cup rinsed and drained canned chick-peas
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup packed fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
- 1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons water
Cut eggplant into 3/4-inch-thick slices and sprinkle both sides with salt. Arrange eggplant in a large colander set over a bowl and let stand 30 minutes to drain.
Preheat broiler.
Rinse eggplant slices and pat dry with paper towels. Broil eggplant on a rack of a broiler pan about 4 inches from heat until deep golden, about 6 minutes on each side. When eggplant is cool enough to handle, peel off skins, scraping all flesh from skins and discarding them.
In a food processor pulse eggplant with remaining ingredients until just puréed and season with salt and pepper. Purée may be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered.

Healthier plants and people: Using biocontrols to reduce health risks to both employees and customers.

Reduce your cost over time: Biocontrols, when used appropriately, are effective and economical. They provide you with long term pest control and there are no re-entry delays so your business can focus on what's important.

CREATED Nov 15, 2012
Reporter: Maggie Vespa
PHOENIX (KGUN9-TV) - They call themselves the "real winners" of last week's election, following a historic showing at the polls.
But leaders in the Latino community say it's a victory that was suspiciously hard fought, and Thursday hundreds took to the streets in downtown Phoenix to demand answers.
That protest coincided with another ballot count update. According to the Arizona Secretary of State's office, more than 160,000 ballots -- early and provisional -- sit uncounted.
That's a point that, to hundreds of Latino voters, feels like far too big of a coincidence.
They came in droves.
Hundreds from groups like "Unite Here" and "Promise Arizona in Accion", who -- after casting their ballots more than a week prior -- marched to the Maricopa County Elections Office. They had 40,000 signatures in hand to make sure their voices and votes were not silenced.
One such voice -- 19-year-old Claudette Arvizu -- had to clear some unexpected hurdles the first time she was in the polling place.
"I waited half-an-hour to an hour, but I was so excited," Arvizu said. "When I got up there -- and I wasso excited -- she told me I didn't have my early ballot, which I was supposed to get through the mail, but I didn't."
She was given a provisional ballot and told to wait in another line -- a line that was filled, she said, with Latinos.
"The box that I had to stick it in was over flowing, and I literally had to force it in there," she said.
Arvizu said many of her family and friends came home with similar stories, some even told their ballots may not be counted.
Now, knowing how many provisional ballots are left, organizers here said they're worried valuable votes will be cast aside.
"The community trusted us with their vote," said Dora Luna, organizer with Promise Arizona in Accion. "They trusted us with a reason to vote, and they're trusting us right now to make sure every vote gets counted."
It's an effort they hope will pay off in the future.
"This is not the last election," Luna said. "This is not the last election, and we want to make sure that people in Arizona can trust the democracy that we live in."

Range hood lights keep burning out.
Our range hood has become death, destroyer of light bulbs. We're having to change bulbs about once a month, even after switching from normal to "oven"-type. We never use the hood fan, either. Any ideas on what might be causing this, and a possible simple fix short of asking our landlord to replace the hood?
What's the difference between an exhaust hood and an exhaust fan?
Ikea sells "exhaust hoods" like this Luftig for $379, and it sells "exhaust fans" like this Luftig for $99. How are they different that's worth $280? It can't be just the extra stainless steel and faux industrial style since this Eventuell which mounts under a cabinet sells for $499. [more inside]
Do I need a range hood?
Doing a major kitchen reno on a new old house, and the layout has no good spot to install a range hood. I've owned houses with a range hood and houses without one, and the only difference I've noticed is that the ones without one need a bit more frequent cleaning, although not really much. Actually very little. Maybe the kind of cooking I usually do doesn't require one? Do you have a range hood? Do you not? Is it merely a bright shiny status symbol? Do you think it's important to have one? Why?
The Overhead Oven Hood Is A LIE. How Do I Install A New Fan?
So I've got a nice oven and a nice overhead hood. Unfortunately, behind the facade of wooden veneer is NOTHING. No vent, no fan, nothing. Can I install a fan up there? [more inside]

How do car engines work?
Are there resources on the internet where I can find information about what's under the hood of my car? I just feel that being a man and all I should have a good idea of what I'm looking at when I pop the hood of my car. I just want to learn the basics and maybe get a better idea of how stuff works under there. I have a Honda and a Toyota, and I know things are built differently under there, but if there's anything specific to those two then that would be preferable.
Help me find Robin Hood!
So a segment I filmed ('Robin Hood's Nottingham') for Australian TV's Channel 9 'Getaway' show has just aired and I'd love to see the result - but as I'm in the UK I can't watch the online video at the show's site and it hasn't shown up on YouTube (or as a torrent) so is there any simple way I can get to see (or better still download) it? Many thanks!

Can a range hood insert be installed on a backsplash?
We moved to a new shack in September. I say "shack," because the house had been neglected for 20+ years, it had no floor (!), a moldy bathroom, and a kitchen that had been constructed by an unskilled amateur cabinetmaker. So, a new kitchen was in order, and I arrogated to myself the role of kitchen architect. Mostly good choices were made, but I made a big mistake in measuring space for a downdraft ventilator for our cooktop, making it difficult to install a downdraft ventilator without using bulky ductwork on a highly visible side of our house.

It's a 600 sq ft apt.

Date Added: Jan 2010
Format: PDF
This paper introduces OLIMPO, an useful simulation tool for researchers who are developing wireless sensor communication protocols. OLIMPO is a discrete-event simulator design to be easily reconfigured by the user, providing a way to design, develop and test communication protocols. In particular, the authors have designed a self-organizing wireless sensor network for low data rate. The premise is that, due to their inherent spread location over large areas, wireless sensor networks are well-suited for SCADA applications, which require relatively simple control and monitoring.

"I am so delighted by how my birth announcements turned out!!! I picked the elephant design as elephants are way cute ;) The lettering and font sizes look perfect and I love the lettering colors. The three photos arrangement was what I was looking for. I have hundreds of photos I've been adding to my online album each day. It was so easy to upload some top choices to my tiny prints account instantly. From there, I easily played around with dragging my photos into various arrangements. It was great to be able to save each project and make a decision on the best one. I made the right choice, as my announcements look so professional and sweet! All from photos snapped in the moment on my cell phone! No special baby photo session needed, all DIY by me & my husband :)"
"I liked how the text looked as if it were painted. The colors were vibrant and the announcement itself was very clean and simple (not too much text or clutter). I received many compliments from people saying how gorgeous the announcement was and how they hadnt receieved one like it before. The card quality and printing was great as always!"
"This is a wonderful card for a boy's baby announcement! I love the bold name on the card, along with the contemporary font. I chose the shimmer stock paper and am so glad...it gives it such a lux look and the paper feels substantial. I changed "Merry Christmas" to read "Welcomed With Love" since we had already sent Christmas cards out. Great quality card for such a special occasion!"
"This design allows you to showcase a variety of photos. Love the blues for baby boy birth announcement. Personally didn't care for standard matte or pearlized. Opted for semi-gloss. Tiny Prints has the most AMAZING customer service. You can also order samples to see design and paper quality. I didn't realize that at first. I just wish the samples didn't take 2 wks to arrive, in my opinion too long hence why delivery received a 4."
"The baby announcements were perfect! Looked exactly like I expected! They shipped fast and got delivered earlier than quoted as well!! Very pleased!!"

For his part, Wang pointed out that pain comes in many different forms, with causes ranging from inflammation to nerve damage. And chronic pain, in particular, is very complex, study author Wager noted.
Whether fMRI is ever used to diagnose pain, studies like this could help researchers gain a better understanding of the "biology of pain," Wang said. "Our understanding of pain is still fairly rudimentary."
A better understanding of pain, Wager said, will hopefully lead to better ways to manage it.

The driver of a stolen car eluded police during a high-speed chase in Hutchinson early Sunday. The 2008 black Ford Escape was spotted travelling at a high rate of speed on eastbound Highway 7 in Hutchinson at just before 1am Sunday. During the pursuit, the driver momentarily turned off the car's lights and accelerated, swerving into the westbound lanes of Highway 7 briefly before turning south on Main Street. The chase continued through the parking lot of a bank as well as several residential lawns before officers lost sight of the vehicle. The damage to various properties has been estimated at $1,000. The vehicle was discovered to have been stolen from Meeker County. The investigation into who the driver was continues.

Criminal Justice (No. 2) Bill, 1997 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed).
Thursday, 11 June 1998
Dáil Éireann Debate
Question again proposed: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."
Mr. Lawlor: The Bill will be widely welcomed across the community. This problem is of major concern to parents, public representatives, the Garda authorities and the courts. No one has been spared the curse of the drugs problem.
We must address the two main aspects of this tragic problem — prevention and cure. The Minister has brought forward a Bill which will go a long way towards meeting the prevention requirements. Anybody found dealing in drugs with a monetary value of more than £10,000 can expect a ten year prison sentence from the courts without remission other than the discretion the Minister has built into the Bill to cover those unfortunate people who are addicted to drugs.
That is the tragic aspect of this problem. The drug barons get young people hooked on drugs and then use them to sell the drugs which they do willingly to feed their habit. That is all part of the web of crime affecting communities.
In introducing the Bill, the Minister recognises the serious nature of the situation. At a recent parliamentary party meeting I was surprised that many rural colleagues were able to speak of firsthand experiences of crime in their constituencies. When representing an urban constituency, one tends to believe that urban areas bear the brunt of the problem. However, it appears that, due to increased Garda activity, additional information [592] being submitted and people being prepared to address the problem, crime is being pushed into other regions.
The additional cost of the drugs problem to communities and the country is now reaching substantial proportions. Money which is badly needed in many other areas is now being directed towards this serious problem. Like many Deputies, I have attended numerous meetings of concerned parents and communities objecting to the location in their areas of health centres and clinics which dispense methadone. There is a crisis in this area. Deputy McManus drew a distinction between soft and hard drugs and suggested it was not acceptable that people were treated in the same way if they were caught with £10,000 worth of cannabis as if they were caught with £10,000 worth of heroin or other hard drugs. My simple philosophy is that soft drugs lead to hard drugs and that they are all a plague on our houses. The Minister is correct in deciding to deal with it in the manner he has.
The Minister's area of responsibility is at the coalface of this problem but it also involves the Department of Health and Children and the health boards. The Minister of State, Deputy Flood, is also involved as he is responsible for disbursing large sums of money in the area. There is a need for cohesion in tackling the drugs problem. The Minister has already made massive strides and it has become obvious, nationally and internationally, that the country is no longer a safe haven for people engaged in this vile trade. There has been tremendous success in this area through the use of the Criminal Assets Bureau which has resulted in the freezing of bank accounts and a recognition that Ireland is no longer a country where drugs can be sold and money laundered without hindrance. Mr. John Gilligan lived in my revised constituency and I have hands-on experience in local housing estates of the crisis which this trade has caused.
It is to be hoped that communities opposed to the provision of facilities catering for those affected will see that the Oireachtas is prepared to tackle the problem. It is also to be hoped that it will give them a willingness to see that we are, by the medium of this Bill, doing what has to be done as regards prevention. I hope it is passed speedily, signed into law as quickly as is practicable and brought into effect.
One of the most dangerous aspects of the Garda Síochána's work is dealing with these people who have vast sums of money available and who can afford to invest in their vile trade. That is not to speak of the risks individual gardaí have had to take in terms of obtaining evidence and bringing such people to court. Community gardaí also take risks in working with communities to wean people off drugs. Such people have an addiction and a need for treatment but they are also the local sales people for the drugs barons. Therein lies the need for the integrated approach to try to tackle the problem.
The Eastern Health Board is trying to disperse [593] treatment facilities by setting up smaller units throughout my constituency so that no community is afflicted by large numbers of young people gathering to collect their prescribed methadone and causing problems. The local communities in which the rare facilities are located must carry an unfair burden in terms of an influx of young and mostly male addicts endeavouring to kick the habit but who are in need of treatment. The other communities in which the more dispersed services are to be located naturally object. Public representatives should give a lead on this.
The methadone maintenance programme provides a legalised drug to those who have been taking illegal drugs. A final cure is a serious and complex matter. For those willing to undergo a cure, residential detoxification facilities are urgently needed but they are costly. There are many demands on the Government's limited resources, such as the Minister arguing for money for more prison spaces and the Minister for Health and Children seeking money for more beds, etc. Having spoken to those involved in the Coolmine Therapeutic Unit, the Clondalkin Against Drugs group and other bodies, it seems that detoxification facilities are the eventual requirement to adequately tackle and break the cycle of drug addiction. I hope that, as part of an overall integrated plan, the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform and the Minister for Health and Children ensure there is prevention and cure. That is the challenge facing us. I hope the Bill is passed quickly and becomes a landmark decision in tackling and preventing the availability of drugs.
Mr. McCormack: I wish to share my time with Deputy Ulick Burke.
Acting Chairman (Mr. Browne, Carlow-Kilkenny): : Is that agreed? Agreed.
Mr. McCormack: I do not share Deputy Lawlor's optimism about the Bill. While its provisions generally are an inadequate response to crime I welcome some sections. The ten year jail sentence for those caught in possession of drugs to the value of £10,000 is welcome and, as Deputy Lawlor stated, it sends out the proper signal that we now have a policy of getting tough with criminals involved in drug activity. The provision to seize the assets of those involved in drugs trafficking is also welcome, although I believe it was introduced by the previous Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. It is operating and helping to control the scourge of drug dealing.
I am sure the Minister is aware of the growing concern in many communities about the rise in crime. Many communities in cities, towns and rural areas live in fear and anxiety as a result of the rising levels of crime in their areas. Among the crimes committed are car thefts, burglaries and petty crime, some of which is drug related. The Minister in Opposition raised the hopes of [594] many harassed people with the promise of zero tolerance. Unfortunately, he has failed to live up to those promises and has failed in his responsibilities to act correctly in the matter. Although sections of it are welcome, I do not believe the Bill is the answer to the problem facing communities.
When he was in Opposition, the Minister was not slow to blame the then Minister for Justice for the rising crime figures. We had passionate outbursts from the Minister on a daily basis condemning the former Minister and stating what should be done. The boot is now on the other foot and we have a lamb, not a lion, as Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform.
Elderly people are afraid to go to bed at night. There has been a disturbing increase in criminal activity in Galway city. The stealing and burning of cars has become far too common and there has been an alarming increase in break-ins to shops and houses. The Minister is aware of the grave concern on the west side of the city. Concerned residents have called a number of public meetings which I attended at which they expressed anger and frustration at what is happening. Deputy Jim Higgins recently met with representatives of residents associations on the west side of the city and I accompanied a residents' deputation to see the Minister. However, all our pleas are falling on deaf ears.
The chief superintendent in Galway applied for an extra 24 gardaí for the city but his strong case has been ignored. A sergeant and three gardaí were transferred to the division on 3 April but this is an inadequate response. The Minister will cite figures showing that the levels of crime are decreasing but that is not the position on the ground. The level of crime is greatly increasing. There may be a danger that people are not reporting crimes as they see no point in doing so when there are not enough gardaí to deal with the cases and no one will be apprehended. I advise people to continue to report crime as the number of gardaí allocated to an area is often based on the crime statistics.
The Minister will state that the deployment of extra gardaí is a matter for the Garda Commissioner and I accept this view. However, the legitimate application by the chief superintendent in Galway has been ignored. He would not apply for these gardaí if they were not required.
When compared with Garda numbers in similar sized cities, the numbers in Galway are very inadequate. The reply to a parliamentary question on 25 March showed that Limerick, which is similar in size to Galway, has 245 gardaí compared to 132 in Galway. Galway is one of the fastest growing cities in Europe and it has suffered a rise in crime because there are not sufficient gardaí to compensate for the population increase. The city has a population of over 55,000. In addition, there are 12,000 students in the two third level colleges. We are entering the tourist season during which the population will exceed 90,000. There is a need for more gardaí in Galway [595] city. We need more community gardaí on the beat. I appeal to the Commissioner to accede to the chief superintendent's request for the immediate deployment of the additional 24 gardaí.
The Minister should look again at the valid requests made for a substation on the west side of Galway. In a letter to me the Minister stated:
With regard to the request for a Garda substation in Newcastle, local Garda management believe that the establishment of a substation would not enhance the Garda service in the area or be cost-effective. They believe that a large amount of personnel would be engaged in public office duty to keep the proposed substation open on a 24-hour basis.
The Minister believes that those members would be better employed on outdoor duties. I accept that gardaí should be deployed outdoors but I do not accept that there is no need for a substation on the vast housing estates to the west of the city. I accept that gardaí would be more usefully used on beat duties.
I recently spent a day in court in Galway on a civil case. During the day there were 30 or 40 uniformed gardaí waiting as witnesses. Some of the cases were not called and the gardaí were simply waiting around. This is a waste of valuable manpower. There is a better way of handling this situation. Perhaps there should be station clerks or one garda who presents evidence in court. It is a terrible waste of manpower if 20, 30 or 40 gardaí are waiting for cases to be called at every Circuit and District Court sitting.
I appeal to the Minister to introduce more community gardaí. The way to cure crime is to prevent it. If enough gardaí are on the beat crime will be prevented. It is completely inadequate to have one community garda on the vast housing estates west of Galway city. How can one garda patrol such an area? The original concept of rural and urban policing was based on the fact that the garda in the community knew the people and what was going on. This placed him in a position to detect or prevent crime. We should return to that principle of more gardaí on the beat, especially in Galway city.
In the long-term placing gardaí on the beat would be more cost-effective than dealing with the present level of crime or filling prisons and remand centres with criminals. It would also avoid the humiliation for the gardaí and the community of seeing people sentenced for petty crimes back on the streets within a few days of sentencing.
Mr. U. Burke: I welcome this opportunity to contribute to the debate on Second Stage of this Bill. The Bill proposes to introduce strong measures against those who deal in and abuse drugs and, as a result, cause such misery within families and, in particular, to young people. Despite everything that has been said and written, [596] what is lacking is a comprehensive research programme, similar to those in place in countries where the problem is much more serious, covering every aspect, including the effects of drug abuse and addiction and drug related crime. Yesterday the vast sums spent by Departments on consultancies were published. The Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform spent least.
There are other Departments and agencies ploughing a lonely furrow. The activities of the Departments of Health and Children, Education and Science and Justice, Equality and Law Reform should be co-ordinated to confront the huge problems in society.
The Minister should include in the Bill heavy penalties to be imposed on the owners or licensees of licensed premises, discos and night-clubs who allow their premises to be used by drug peddlers. Research indicates — a garda connected in any way with the drugs unit will confirm this — that in the greatest proportion of cases young people are introduced, perhaps through peer pressure or intentionally, to the drug culture at these premises or at parties. The Minister who is responsible for the issuing of licences has to take action. If owners and licensees were penalised, they would ensure drugs were not readily available at their premises.
If a proper drugs awareness programme was introduced in primary and second level schools, vast savings would accrue to the Exchequer in the areas of health and legal costs. Were it not for the determination of and the initiatives taken by enthusiastic individual teachers at national, second and perhaps third level, school principals, boards of management and parents associations, there would be no structure in place. Vast sums have been spent on technology in our schools. If some of this was diverted to fund the introduction of a structured rather than piecemeal or hit and miss programme, we could achieve great results in tackling the problem.
Most crime in rural areas is drug related. As Deputy McCormack said, there is a serious problem in the west from Kerry to Donegal. Those who have been driven into a life of crime in urban areas are travelling to rural areas to feed their habit. There are limits to what people involved in well organised community alert schemes can do in co-operation with the Garda Síochána. They have a different culture to those involved in community protection groups in housing estates in urban areas.
Do we have a secret service and, if so, what is its function and to whom does it report? In rural areas certain individuals, who may have a criminal record, for some reason, as a result of gossip or otherwise, have been identified as being members of a secret service. They do a great disservice to people involved in community alert schemes who are feeling the pinch. Does such a service exist and, if so, why?
While the Bill has some positive features, there is a lack of cohesion and co-ordination. When a drug trafficker is brought before the courts, it is [597] wrong that somebody in the background can plead for leniency by the judge when the Garda are trying to get a conviction. Where will this confusion end? I am not casting any reflection on judges at various levels, but there is no consistency in the way such cases are dealt with in court. It all depends on whether a person brought before a court has someone who will state that resources are available to provide counselling for him or her. That person will be treated more leniently than the person who does not have anyone to make a similar plea for him or her. This is a major area that needs to be addressed.
Mr. Killeen: This is a major criminal justice Bill. While one welcomes it as a response to dealing with the problem in this area, as time passes one must be concerned that we need to introduce rafts of legislation to deal with criminal justice problems. Approximately 22 Acts are referred to or amended by various provisions in this Bill. It is another statutory attack on drug trafficking and related ills. There is a need to display the determination of the Government and the Oireachtas directly to fight the drugs menace. I welcome this legislation in that context and I commend the Minister for his efforts in bringing it before the House. Previous Ministers over a number of years have struggled manfully to meet the challenges posed by various criminal activities, most of which appear to relate to the drug culture.
There are inherent dangers in putting huge volumes of legislation before the House. Some of the Bills are very extensive. There are 35 sections in this Bill and it has a considerable number of pages. It puts a tremendous workload on Deputies. It also puts pressure on committee members, particularly Opposition spokespersons who have fewer resources available to them than Government members. There is also considerable pressure on Government resources in terms of legal expertise, parliamentary draftspersons and research back-up, but the research facilities available to backbenchers are woefully inadequate. This will all lead to major cock-ups and, undoubtedly, major expenditure by the State in various areas in the not too distant future.
This Act is part of a major programme of criminal law reform. One must acknowledge the work of the steering group on the efficiency and effectiveness of the Garda Síochána, some of whose work will be reflected in the Bill. The Minister indicated it will be reflected in an amendment he will table on Committee Stage. We must also acknowledge the work of the expert group whose report is expected later this month. I understand it will form the basis for the preparation of a major piece of criminal justice law.
One wonders if a justice consolidation Bill, similar to last year's consolidation Bill in the finance area, might be introduced. If such a large Bill were introduced, I do not know if it would make life easier or more difficult for those involved in amending legislation as it is difficult to find provisions in such Bills. There is a case for [598] introducing consolidating legislation which would make the work of those fighting crime easier. It would provide them with a better opportunity to fight those who, because of the resources that become available to them through crime, are able to mount challenges at all levels, sometimes successfully.
There is a need for many approaches to tackle crime other than criminal justice measures. It can be approached through education and combating social exclusion and disadvantage. I commend the Minister of State on her work in that area. However, I cannot help but suspect there is no serious commitment in any party or arm of the State to approach problems of that nature from that perspective. One has only to glance at the level of funding available for primary education and the type of resources available to early school leavers, which fortunately are improving as time passes. One must consider, with some concern, what was said at the teacher conferences at Easter when a substantial number of teachers complained of a level of unruliness and indiscipline in the classroom which they said was making their job impossible. If that is part of a trend, it bodes ill for the future and it will cost many hours of deliberation and planning to deal with it in the criminal justice area, probably the most expensive way it could be dealt with.
I commend the anti-drugs initiatives introduced by the Minister of State, Deputy Flood, but they are confined to too narrow an area. Confining activities of that nature to pilot schemes does not acknowledge the extent of the problem. Some of those initiatives should be introduced in rural areas, certainly in the smaller rural towns where the problem is far more widespread than is acknowledged. The drug menace, particularly in small rural towns, could be dealt with relatively easily because of the smaller numbers involved. If it were addressed at this stage, it could be dealt with more cheaply and effectively than in five or ten years' time when the supply network would be so sophisticated, so well armed and so well able to deal with whatever the State could throw at it that it would be impossible to break down.
There is very little political capital to be made from calling for preventive measures. Nobody commends us for calling for more money for education at primary or any other level and nobody commends the efforts of those involved with early school leavers. There is no political capital to be made from making provision at that level, but everyone understands there is political capital to be made for providing more prison spaces, recruiting more gardaí and mounting more direct attacks on crime by the criminal justice system. That is an expensive way to approach the problem and in the long term it ensures the generation coming up will present an even greater problem in the not too distant future.
I welcome the fact that the Minister has provided for minimum mandatory sentences for people found carrying drugs to the value of £10,000 or more by way of amendment to the [599] Misuse of Drugs Act, 1977. There has been a perception that sentencing policy for some of these people has been somewhat lenient. The message we are sending in this Bill is welcome.
The Minister was correct to dispense with the preliminary examination in the District Court, which it appears was being used more and more widely to delay proceedings rather than to enhance the justice system. There is a new safeguard procedure provided which will probably be regarded as an attack on civil liberties. On balance, the change in this instance is a good and positive one.
I also welcome the provision of a confiscation order which will come into effect automatically unless the court believes it would involve the acquisition of items of too little in value. The issue of the proceeds of crime being held by family members of convicted criminals and drug dealers has not been adequately addressed in previous legislation. It might not have been considered appropriate in this Bill, but it needs to be tightened up considerably by way of amendment of the Criminal Assets Bureau's regulations or otherwise.
Too little notice has been taken of attacks on State forensic scientists and social welfare officers by the likes of Martin Cahill. One wonders to what extent intimidation of that nature could still be perpetrated and to what extent the arms of the State are in a position to combat it. One also worries about the effects of the film portraying that gentleman's life which, it appears from what one reads, glamorises crime to a very undesirable extent.
The Minister has also provided that Garda evidence can be used on a much more widespread basis by means of certificate. This will undoubtedly lead to better use of Garda time and is welcome.
I am concerned by the escalating Garda dispute and I call for a cooling off period and a genuine engagement in dialogue towards resolution of the problem. There is an onus on some of those not party to the dispute to declare their commitment to facilitate a solution and ensure there is not a knock-on effect on public service pay. I am very concerned by the message the ongoing impasse is sending to those involved in criminal behaviour and those concerned by it.
I welcome the statutory basis for guilty pleas rather than relying on case law as has been the practice to date. People who follow legislation closely in the House are frequently surprised by the extent to which case law in this area and practice heretofore in legislation has been accepted as the basis for law. There are many instances where legislation does not provide a statutory basis for many major activities.
One must be concerned by the provision of treatment for addicts in prison and mitigation in relation to their prison sentences if they offer for treatment. There is a presumption that virtually all drug addicts would offer for treatment if it was [600] available. However, I understand a recent survey in Mountjoy prison found that slightly less than half of those with a serious or less than serious drug problem were prepared to opt for treatment if it was available. The most advantageous political response in terms of political kudos is always to call for a lock up of these people. However, is it cheaper and more effective and does it in the long run address the problem? There is a certain lack of confidence in the alternatives which have not been properly probed or researched, something alluded to by Deputy Burke. Alternatives do not appear to have a high level of credibility among politicians and others involved in this area.
There is a constant argument in relation to crimes committed by drug addicts as to whether there should be further movement towards treatment or even more rigorous imposition of penalties. Everywhere in the western world has struggled with the concept of drug addiction as a mitigation for crimes concerning drug dealing. There is a growing realisation that throwing offenders into institutions frequently maintains or reinforces the habit and ensures the continuation of the market in which drug dealers make their ill-gotten gains.
Studies in the US on the effects of drugs on crime statistics indicate that in comparison to non-drug using offenders, severe drug users tend to commit 15 times as many robberies, 20 times as many burglaries and ten times as many thefts. There are no comparable statistics available for Ireland, though some figures are available from the Garda which reflect an approximate trend. It is clear from the studies that active drug use accelerates crime by a factor of between four and six, with the crime content being at least as violent and frequently more so when compared to non-drug user counterparts. The US studies were mainly of heroin users, though some were of crack cocaine users for whom there were similar statistics. One American expert said that empirical studies of the association between drug use and crime provide an appreciation of the enormous impact drug abuse has on crime. Indeed extensive research on the relationship between drug abuse and crime provides convincing evidence that relatively few severe substance abusers are responsible for an extraordinary proportion of crime.

Burton Albion: Gary Rowett tries out 4-5-1 formation ahead of Wigan tie
Posted: July 31, 2014|
BURTON Albion could use the 4-5-1 shape they employed against Derby County when they face Wigan in the League Cup.
The Brewers have set up in their usual 4-4-2 formation throughout pre-season but when they faced a full-strength Rams side on Tuesday night, boss Gary Rowett switched to a system with a lone striker.
Even though Albion lost 1-0, it worked well and may get another run-out when Championship promotion hopefuls Wigan come to the Pirelli Stadium in two weeks in the first round of the League Cup.
"We've played 4-4-2 all pre-season so far and felt we needed to look at something else," said the Albion boss.

"We felt that last season at times we would go to it (4-5-1) as a plan B, but occasionally in a game we couldn't do that. So we wanted to look at it in a game now.
"We might need to use that against Wigan in the second game, in the Capital One Cup.
"Again, it's nice to have options and I thought that at times we did it well.
"If it was against a League Two opponent then I think we would probably have created lots more chances."
Stuart Beavon was the lone striker on Tuesday night and performed the role well until his withdrawal after 56 minutes.
Rowett was pleased with the tricky frontman, who showed good touches on the ball and the ability to bring team-mates into the game with intelligent passing.
"You saw how potent we can look in those attacking areas," said Rowett. "I thought Bev first half was fantastic up front on his own.
"He never gives anything up and always plays with a bit of awareness and quality and the others ran off him.
"Robbie (Weir) also looks very sharp at the minute and runs into some fantastic positions."

'State collapse could follow Egypt crisis'
Tue Jan 29, 2013 11:24AM
"The continuing conflict between political forces and their differences concerning the management of the country could lead to a collapse of the state and threaten future generations," he also said.The minister also warned that the political, economic, security, and social problems constitute "a threat to the country's security and stability." "The attempts to undermine the stability of state institutions is a dangerous thing that harms national security and the future of the country," Sissi said. However, he stated that the army would "remain strong...as a pillar of the state's foundations." Ongoing violence in several Egyptian cities, including Cairo, Alexandria, Suez, and Port Said, has left 52 people dead since January 25 when the country marked the second anniversary of the revolution that ousted former dictator Hosni Mubarak. On Sunday, President Mohamed Morsi declared a state of emergency in Port Said, Suez, and Ismailia following deadly clashes in the cities. The deadliest clashes took place in Port Said. Chaos erupted when a court issued death sentences for 21 people for their role in a massacre that saw the death of 74 people following a football match in the city last year. SAB/HN

Adding some of the pasta's cooking water to this dish gives it a creamy quality.
Leave a Review
I made this and the lentils were not mushy at all. AFter reading the rave reviews even with mushy lentils.. I made the lentils by using the technique from Cook's Illustrated and then executed this recipe using whole wheat pasta... Yummy , perfect.. and no mush!flag if inappropriate
really simple yet delicious. hearty and inexpensive! will make again and again ...flag if inappropriate
This was a great and simple meal that made Daddy look like a "chef" in my wife and kids eyes. Super Tasty and easy enough for me to make. I would agree that 12 oz is too much on the pasta end. However, I followed everything else to the letter and wound up with a new family favorite! Thanks.flag if inappropriate
OMG. This was amazing. The flavors of the legumes with the small pasta were perfect. 12 OZ of pasta were a little too much for the rest of the rest of the ingredients. I used only 8-10 ounces and it was wonderful.flag if inappropriate
We made this for a cozy dinner at home on a cold, rainy night and it was perfect. We used chicken sausage and threw in some mustard greens, which added a spicy kick that complemented the sausage, and some visual interest.flag if inappropriate
I used Italian chicken sausage from whole foods and twisted looking penne. It looked pretty ugly but it did taste fantastic. Very easy.flag if inappropriate
We loved this recipe! Although I try to make the recipes as written the first time, this time I wanted to use what I had in the house. I had some pre-cooked garlic sausages so sliced them up and sauteed with the onion. Didn't have red so used white onions. I had red lentils which I believe I cooked too long so they lost their shape. They were pretty much mush but still tasted great in the dish. I used the lentil water instead of the pasta water. It really was just so good, very filling, and great for a wintery spring day.flag if inappropriate
I can't remember when I have made a recipe that was a first time hit. This was as good as it gets. We don't have to go to our local trattoria--this brings it to us. I used spicy chicken sausage instead of sweet and a lovely Chianti Classico for the wine. Also I topped the dish with sauted rainbow chard with garlic and red pepper flakes. It was a perfect one dish meal. This doesn't happen often that the first attempt is a keeper but I'll serve this at several dinner parties. Thanks so much.flag if inappropriate
Definitely lacks in visual appeal, but makes up for it in taste and ease of preparation. I'm constantly having to pass this recipe on to friends, family, and coworkers because they all love it!flag if inappropriate
This recipe is a staple healthy, easy weeknight meal for us...using hot italian turkey sausage. I add a can of diced or pureed tomatoes with the lentils and it balances the flavor better, as well as making the dish more attractive.
