Again, air controller sleeps on job
FAA: In second case in 2 months, worker to be fired
By Alan Levin
A second air-traffic controller has been found sleeping on the job at night � this time on purpose. And the government said Wednesday he will be fired for it.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the unnamed controller slept for five hours during the midnight shift on Feb. 19 in Knoxville, Tenn. "This was a willful violation," FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt told the House Appropriations subcommittee on transportation.
It's the second incident in as many months in which an FAA controller fell asleep during a midnight shift. A supervisor working alone at Washington's Reagan National Airport fell asleep for at least 24 minutes shortly after midnight on March 23.
In the incident at McGhee Tyson Airport in Knoxville, a controller in a radar room responsible for guiding planes in a roughly 50-mile radius around the airport was unresponsive for five hours, the FAA said.
Another controller working at the airport's tower was able to monitor the seven aircraft that flew into the airspace during that time, the agency said in a statement. All of the aircraft landed safely.
"The FAA will not tolerate this type of unprofessional and inappropriate behavior," the statement said.
The agency is conducting a nationwide review of staffing at air-traffic facilities during midnight shifts as a result of the recent incidents.
The National Air Traffic Controllers Association union is representing the unnamed controller in disciplinary proceedings, spokesman Doug Church said. The FAA said it is "taking steps to fire" the controller, but has not done so yet.
After the incident last month at Reagan National, the union demanded that additional controllers be added at towers where a single person worked on midnight shifts as a safety measure to limit the risks that a controller could fall asleep.
Typically, air-traffic facilities are designed with enough flexibility that controllers in a tower can handle traffic far outside an airport.
In most cases at small and midsize airports, controllers are trained to handle both landings and takeoffs as well as higher-altitude traffic.
In the incident at Reagan National, a controller admitted to investigators at the National Transportation Safety Board that he had inadvertently fallen asleep. He is on paid leave while the agency investigates.
Two airliners landed at the airport without a landing clearance after their pilots were advised by another controller in a facility in nearby Virginia that they could touch down using rules for airports without towers.
Afterward, the FAA told controllers that they should offer pilots the chance to divert to another airport rather than land at a major commercial airport without a tower controller. The FAA also added a second controller on the midnight shift at the security-sensitive airport, which is only a few miles from the White House and the Capitol.

Q:I may end up needing a new catalytic converter for my 1999 Subaru Impreza RS. I talked to my mechanic and told him that I may need need to replace the catalytic converter, and he told me that it would cost about a $1000.

Maybe the Main Stream Media has crossed a bridge too far.
In a handful of minutes Newt Gingrich dismantled CNN/Democrat operative John King, done, over, steamrolled.
Could this be the marker in time when it will be standard operating procedure to nominate Republican candidates who will push back at the time honored media's selective destruction of one party and fawning admiration and cover-ups for the other?
Ron Paul has no time for idiot reporters. He walks away.
Newt started the habit of calling out the media in one of the first debates.
Rick Santorum has fought back, as did Herman Cain.
Sarah Palin cut the news media to pieces and left them asking for more. She is the shining example of how to deal with news jackals.
If the next round of Republican Presidential candidates do this well CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and the dwindling liberal magazines may have to find someone a bit smarter than the wimpy John King to take on Republicans.
King comes out swinging at the CNN debate and asks Newt Gingrich, far his intellectual superior and just as ruthless, if he wants to talk about his ex-wife and her most recent revelations regarding their 1990's divorce.
Gingrich sank into his wing tips, dug in his heals and let fly. You have to see the video of the crowd at a standing ovation behind John King to understand how bad Newt slaughtered King.
I saw a story this morning where John King said he knew it was coming but that is a lie.
King did not as a direct question about the divorce or the even juicier "open marriage" issue.
No, King asked if Newt wanted to "take some time to respond to that."
Now THAT is just plain stupid.
It seems that the disgusting, self-serving MSM has lowered the level of candidates from Republican ranks to only those people willing to have their personal lives torn apart and has, at the same time, unwittingly, lowered the IQ of their own talking heads sent into the fray.
This is a good thing.

Mars UK has been named the only FMCG company in the Large Company Category in this year's Best Workplaces ranking complied by the 'Great Place to Work' Institute. After opening its doors to enter for the first time, the company came 13th out of all large companies from all industries who entered across the UK.
The Great Place to Work Institute UK praised Mars UK for the career development opportunities offered to its 'Associates' – what Mars calls its employees because they are encouraged to run the business as if it were their own. It said associates enjoy unusual levels of freedom and responsibility from Day One of joining the business, which contributes to Mars' open and collaborative culture. As well as personal development plans and formal learning through the Mars University, associates are encouraged to move upwards, sideways, across borders, functions and segments to broaden their horizons and grow their career.
Blas Maquivar, President Mars Chocolate UK & Global Retail said: "We are extremely proud to be named as the only Large FMCG Company in the UK's best workplaces. Across Mars UK, we have a really unique culture, based on honest and open communication, and we also offer our Associates some unique benefits – such as bringing your dog to work at our Waltham and Birstall sites and a weekly chocolate allowance at our Slough site.
"While we are a large company, we are still family-owned and our Associates work together in a supportive and collaborative environment. We are more collaborative than hierarchical and, as a private company, we have the freedom to invest for the long-term in our people, our products and in the future of our business."

It was not the day the Los Alamos Hilltopper wrestling team was hoping to have.
Los Alamos hosted the District 2AAAA championship tournament Saturday at Auxiliary Gym. Los Alamos, instead of making a push for a runner-up spot in 2AAAA, was relegated to last place among the five district teams Saturday.
The Hilltoppers garnered 101 team points in the tournament. They were edged out by the Capital Jaguars, who finished in fourth place with 104 points.
If Los Alamos was disappointed with its finish Saturday, it certainly wasn't the only team. The Española Valley Sundevils, which had dominated the district tournament for the past four years, was upset by Bernalillo in the team standings.
Bernalillo, which has had an up-and-down season in 2009-10, finished on a big up. The Spartans, whom the Hilltoppers upset for the district's runner-up spot a season ago, grabbed 164 team points, eking out a 5-point victory over the Sundevils.
Española Valley, Taos and Bernalillo each had seven wrestlers advance to the final round. Taos, another team that wasn't considered a major threat for a district title, finished a very respectable third, grabbing 143 points.
Individually, the Hilltoppers placed three wrestlers into the championship round, only one of which survived even one minute on the mat.
Los Alamos, however, will still send seven wrestlers to this weekend's state tournament by virtue of their top-three finishes at Saturday's tournament.
"I think we should've had two more," said Hilltopper Brian Geyer, who finished third at 140 pounds. "We lost a couple of close ones in third- and fourth-place, 103 and 130. It's a little bit (disappointing)."
Bob Geyer, Los Alamos' first-year head coach said that although he would rather have seen his team make a little bit better of a run at Bernalillo and Española Valley, he was OK with getting as many wrestlers qualified as his team did.
"If you had told me early this year we'd be taking seven kids to state, as young as we are, I wouldn't have believed you," he said. "It would've been nice to take a few more, but missed a few because of mistakes. A lot of that is inexperience."
Los Alamos' lone senior, 171-pounder Gary Thorne, had a difficult road toward grabbing a state ticket, but he bounced back from a tournament-opening loss to knock off Capital's Jacob Naranjo in the third-place contest.
Thorne made quick work of Naranjo, scoring on a quick ankle pick which took Naranjo right to his back. Thorne scored the pin in just :35.
Also on the consolation side, 135-pounder Cory Geyer and heavyweight Taylor Morrison took third by default.
Taking second in district this season for the Hilltoppers were 145-pounder John Gibson, 152-pounder Clint Adams and 189-pounder Diego Madrid.
Adams was a late entry in the 152-pound bracket. Adams, who wrestled at 160 for a good portion of the season after being unable to knock out teammate Desmond Fellers in wrestle-offs, got the nod last week after Fellers was unable to bounce back from a dislocated shoulder suffered the week before. Fellers went down early in the Bryan Sanchez Memorial Invitational and Geyer said he didn't want to take any chances, although that meant Fellers would be ineligible to move on to the state tournament.
Adams, for his part, downed Kevin Montoya of Española Valley pinning him with just one second remaining in the second period. Throughout most of the second period, Adams struggled against Montoya, who had scored 4 unaswered points before Adams' reversal with just :31 remaining.
Madrid, at 189 pounds, had a big challenge waiting for him early, too.
In his first bout of the day, Madrid drew Bernalillo's Clayton Pankey, against whom he was 0-2 this season.
But Madrid came out aggressive early, taking Pankey down twice in the first period to grab a 4-1 lead. Madrid moved out to a 5-1 edge after two periods, then just held on through Pankey's comeback attempt late in the third period. Pankey scored a 2-point takedown with 5 seconds remaining, but Madrid prevailed 5-3.
Madrid said afterward he was starting to run out of gas toward the end of the bout, something he'll do whatever he can to prevent this weekend.
"I'm definitely going to push myself," Madrid said. "That way, I'm not as tired as when I wrestled (Pankey). I'll be doing a lot more."
As a team, Bernalillo won six of the seven championship bouts it was involved in Saturday, including the one head-to-head final it had with Española Valley at 140 pounds, which proved to be the difference in the team standings.
Wrestlers will be seeded for the Class AAAA state meet Thursday, although Los Alamos' wrestlers won't be seeded in any of their weight classes. The state tournament starts at noon Friday at the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho.

Pouncey is the Steelers' best rookie, probably their best offensive lineman, and he injured the ankle near the end of the Steelers' long opening drive Sunday in the AFC Championship Game.
Doctors told Pouncey it's a high sprain and put him in the hard cast to restrict movement.
The gung-ho rookie said after the game that he'd be back in three days.
He was reminded that Wednesday was Day Three.
"Day Three already?" he said with a smile. "Maybe four then."
"It's going to be a big pain tolerance thing," said veteran lineman Trai Essex. "A high ankle sprain is nothing to play with. Some guys recover faster than others. Pounce has been hurt a couple times this year but came back fast. It's all about how fast he's going to heal this time around, how severe the injury actually was."
No one with real knowledge of the injury was talking. Pouncey – like Aaron Smith and Troy Polamalu before him – didn't want to get into details about his injury and skipped both of the locker-room media sessions that sandwiched Wednesday's practice.
Essex was the No. 2 center during the workout behind Doug Legursky.
Legursky finished Sunday's game at center and played well. During his 3½ quarters, the Steelers rushed for 121 yards on 34 carries (3.6 avg.), even though the Jets knew the Steelers would run the ball with their big, early lead.
Legursky accepted blame for the fumbled snap that resulted in a Jets safety – "I was just trying to get my hands on the guy and I short-armed the snap" – but said he otherwise played well.
"Overall, yes," he said. "There were a few things here and there I could've done better."
Legursky is a quiet West Virginian (Beckley) who was not only a weightlifting record-holder at Marshall University but a three-year All-Conference USA center.
The 6-1, 323-pounder signed with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 2008 and was on the practice squad for their Super Bowl run that season. Legursky made the team in 2009 and played 8 games at right guard and goal-line fullback.
This season Legursky has started four games at right guard and played in every other game at both guard spots and fullback. His stint Sunday was the first of any substance at his natural center position since he entered the league.
"Getting in there at center and having my feet settled and being able to make some calls and play my game felt pretty good last week," he said. "If Pouncey's not ready to go, it'll be fun this week."
If Pouncey's not ready to go, Legursky will go up against 337-pound Green Bay nose tackle B.J. Raji in the Super Bowl. The ninth overall pick of the 2009 draft, Raji came on strong down the stretch this season, and on Sunday dropped into zone blitz coverage, intercepted a pass and returned it 18 yards for a touchdown.
"I like Raji's game a lot," said Steelers nose tackle Casey Hampton. "He's going to be the next good nose tackle."
But Hampton has watched Legursky grow. He realizes the Steelers will be in good hands if Pouncey can't play.
"No question. Legursky can get it done," Hampton said. "I've said all along if Legursky was two inches taller he'd be starting somewhere. He plays big. He can get it done. I like Legursky."
"I think Doug will make it through fine," said Essex. "He's a tough S.O.B."

I Dismember Halloween: Douglas jumps the gun on 10/31
Posted by: Brian Hibbs on October 31, 2007
Categories: Reviews
Tags: 52, Douglas, Greg Rucka, The Question
Since I'd thoroughly enjoyed 52, and especially the storyline that involved Renée Montoya and the Question, Greg Rucka was kind enough to pass along some photocopies of the first two issues of 52 AFTERMATH: THE CRIME BIBLE: THE FIVE BOOKS OF BLOOD. (I may have the title wrong: some sources say "Lessons" rather than "Books," and I haven't seen a finished copy yet.) The first one, drawn by Tom Mandrake, comes out today; despite the fact that she's not mentioned anywhere in its tripartite title, this is the new Montoya/Question story, and it's really satisfying to see Rucka writing her again.
For those of you who didn't follow 52, one of the odder additions it made to the DC universe was the idea that there's a religion of crime that has its own Bible. We saw fragments of it in that series (where Montoya's investigation of its links to an Apokolips-related scheme began), and it's also quoted in passing in the Keith Giffen-written 52 Aftermath: Four Horsemen miniseries. The venerated figure in this religion is, naturally, the original criminal, Cain, who's referred to as the First. It's worth pointing out that Cain himself is actually a recurring character in the DCU; we haven't seen him lately, but we saw the House of Mystery he maintains in 52. We also saw allusions in 52 to the Book of Moriarty and the Book of Kürten, both of which reappear here, the latter rather prominently; Moriarty was, of course, Sherlock Holmes's nemesis (and is also an in-continuity character in the DCU!), and Kürten was an early-20th-century German serial killer.
A bit of this issue is given over to some necessary exposition: a professorial character, Stanton T. Carlyle, notes that the crime religion is prima facie ridiculous, and also explains that the Crime Bible concludes in four homiletic "Books of Blood," based on the pillars of deceit, lust, greed and murder. (I wonder if Carlyle's first name comes from Question creator Steve Ditko's former studiomate and occasional collaborator Eric Stanton–link potentially NSFW.) This would be the "deceit" issue, hence its twist-ending structure, and if you've noticed that there's a numerical disjunction between the concept in the story and the title of the miniseries, bingo; I'm assuming there's some kind of hermetic-gnostic fifth Book we'll find out about. Mandrake's specialty is establishing a shadowy, uncertain mood–in some ways, he's the closest thing to Gene Colan working regularly in comics now–and that fits nicely with the theme of the issue, too. (The big twist two pages before the end, though, is drawn with a peculiar gimmick that doesn't really work.)
The Question, in the Denny O'Neil incarnation that Rucka's taken after, is a detective whose investigations extend outward and inward: he (and now she) is interested in understanding complicated systems more than solving mysteries, as such, and one of those systems is his (and now her) own inner self. What Charlie kept asking Montoya in 52 was "who are you?"; she's still figuring that out. (Incidentally, if you're interested in this stuff and haven't read Rucka's interviews about the Question at the dedicated fan site vicsage.com, they're pretty fascinating.) As in the O'Neil series, she has neither a real face nor a full identity; nobody ever refers to the Question by that name, except indirectly. Carlyle asks "Are there any questions?"; Montoya steps forward.
The premise of 52A:TCB:T5BOB–and doesn't that sound like a good name for a designer drug?–is that the crime cultists think the new and not-fully-formed Question might in fact have potential as one of them (their religion includes a "parable of the faceless"). One of their leaders, a guy by the name of Flay (which just made me think of the great character with the same name in these books), even suggests that her familiarity with the text of the Crime Bible makes her one of its adherents, and that she's "looked upon the red rock, bathed in the blood that soaks it." She's acquainted with things that can be framed as deceit through her double life, lust through… the same way everybody's acquainted with lust, and murder very very tenuously through her killing of the suicide bomber in Kahndaq–although it was hardly premeditated, and inarguably defensible. Greed? I don't know if she's ever done anything that can even be construed as greed, other than dating somebody from a rich family, but on the other hand we don't know what she's been doing for money since 52 ended. Or even since 52 began.
Now, there's one thing that's still frustratingly opaque about Cainism (does the religion have a name among its adherents? is it the Order of the Stone, as Montoya suggests this issue?): what its adherents believe, and why. There's a pretty strong division between the religious concept of sin and the secular notion of crime, and the crime religion muddles the two. (There's some story I read a few weeks ago in which a religious sect believes in sinning as much as possible in order to better be able to humble themselves before God when they die; if you substitute "committing as many crimes as possible," that no longer scans.) Carlyle's lecture this issue proposes that the attraction of Cainism is somewhere between the freedom of the Nietzschean superman who makes his own morality and the de Sadean utopia in which personal gratification is the only law. But it sure seems regimented for all that it values individualism, and it doesn't offer its faithful any particular justification for their actions. (Actually, it asks them to do things on the grounds that they're not justifiable: its leaders "seek the vilest perfection.") This is the same kind of logic that, over in Justice League of America, gives us Lex Luthor, who was very recently obsessed with maintaining his public image of always being in the right, forming an "Injustice League"; it doesn't wash, because everyone justifies their own actions to themselves. We're also told that there are only three extant copies of the Crime Bible's complete text, but that the religion is trying to disseminate its text as far as possible. Jessica Hagy's index-card taxonomy of two-sin combinations makes more sense.
So a high Good for the first one–although it's worth noting that the second issue is a real step up, the kind of densely packed spy thriller/psychological grilling Rucka's got a particular gift for. But I'll get to that one when it's due.

An open letter to vegans and carnivores from a consummate omnivore
As Sartre wrote, "Hell is other people." While you vegans and carnivores have been making plenty of noise, there is a population of omnivores silently creeping among you, ducking behind buildings and mailboxes, getting shot at by meat-mongers for ordering tofu on our noodles, and getting gently but firmly chided by vegans on how our meatball subs and pepperoni pizzas are counterproductive to the balance of the universe.
The meat-eaters are usually worse when it comes to judging, and I'd pick a polite vegan over an obnoxious burger-warrior any time, but they are both still pretty annoying.
Being an omnivore is a lot like being bisexual. Under the "pros" column, you have endless possibilities of meal choice. The mood strikes and you order a grilled vegetable sandwich, or sometimes a juicy pork chop takes your fancy. Placing your tent definitively in one camp or another just seems so close-ended and unnatural. But much like being unparticular about gender, the flip side of this joyful, inclusive lifestyle is the truckload of grief you get from both sides of the gastronomic militia. Heterosexuals treat bi people like greedy, opportunistic sluts. Homosexuals treat switch-hitters like lost, confused souls who just need to be brought to the great gay temple of gayness and proselytized to until they finally crack under the pressure and come out.
Is it slutty or confusing to embrace a life of beets and bologna? Not really, no. Is it rabidly infuriating to have to listen to the manipulative rats of two groups who make it their point to tell you everything that is wrong with what you are putting in your food-hole? Yep. I grew up on a farm, in the country, and seared cow flesh with an abnormally large baked potato was on the menu more often than not. Saying the word "tofu" to any member of my family is a crime akin to piercing your eyebrow or denying Christ. So when I hauled my cookies out to the big city after high school, I discovered a world of eggplants that weren't breaded and fried in grease, salads that weren't choked into submission with ranch dressing, and this wonderful, delicious paste called hummus.
And this is dinner...
Mixing crowds is not the best thing. I don't bring a vegetable rice pilaf to my family home, and I make sure to have zucchini and squash on the grill at barbecues with my friends. It's only when I interrupt the delicate, symbiotic balance that being meat- and veggie-friendly gets me either a quasi-patient lecture from vegan buddies or a leather shoe hurled at my head from a family member who will inevitably holler, "Yer eatin' to-FU?"
Should I pick a side? It would be easier, because then I'd only have to deal with one set of idealistic tirades every time I have a cookout or go to a holiday dinner. But I'm convinced that when the zombie apocalypse happens, my omnivore ilk and I will be in the best position for nutrition, because squealing piggy is just as filling as canned peas. Is hell other people? Well, if you're trying to eat in peace and have a carnivore come at you in heavy-metal screamo fashion because your cheese sandwich is missing the ham, or have a passive-aggressive vegan try to convince you that eating your ham and cheese sandwich is going to make the Jedi order "feel this one," then Sartre was right.

To a citizen fifty years hence:
Greetings stranger, sorry we screwed up your inheritance. Did you make it to another planet or are you still Earthbound, scavenging the waste dumps and fighting over bicycle parts? Hope not. Perhaps the fossil fuel society did collapse and that has gifted you a miracle: a civilization driven by creativity and renewable energy, where every citizen plays a vital role and tanks are tractors. By the time you receive this I am long dead, so why this message?
In case the good guys lose and the bad guys re-write history. The West is now at war with itself and just about everyone else, which is draining our capacity to deal with a range of threats to human survival. Some of these threats have been unfolding for a long time and our leaders have been a long time looking the other way. Forests, water, coal and uranium are hauled from the Earth and sold for peanuts. For a fee of $180, Coca Cola is allowed to siphon 66 million litres of water a year from a pristine aquifer in Mangrove Mountain NSW, bottle it in plastic and ship it afar, while local farmers struggle.
If asked to imagine the distant future, our politicians can't think beyond the date of the next election. Until 2007, the Australian Prime Minister dismissed Global Warming as an invention of malcontents. He remains dubious of claims that it's linked to human activity. And yet, as our unsustainable lifestyle starts to fade, a new kind of society struggles to be born. It is the fate of this struggle, dear citizen of the future, that will have defined your destiny.
The encroaching web of perils should not have taken us by surprise. Warnings flashed 50 years ago in the 1960's, when I was young and the West was reeling from a social upheaval that ended a colonial war and extended civil liberties. It also exposed the nasty side of capitalism, including its fouling of nature. The mode of the music changed, the walls of the city shook. We marched, shouting slogans, flowers in our hair and smoking cannabis. Then came psychedelics. In this moment of madness we found that consciousness was king. It was a time when everything seemed possible, even a generational mind-shift. We saw a chance to live more lightly on the planet. Then winter came... and they put up a parking lot. With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot.
Consumerism was back. Gaia caught a fever. Today, as the fossil fuel era slouches to extinction, a new kind of counter culture is finding its feet. Not everyone is happy.
Our leaders are war crazy. Almost half a decade after the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, civilians continue to be massacred. On a single day in April, 312 Iraqis were killed and 302 wounded. Four million have been displaced. But still our Prime Minister claims such carnage is "justified by the removal of former dictator Saddam Hussein" - a view rejected by almost every non Kurdish Iraqi. The cruelty of the invaders is boundless: "I don't think you're ever going to get rid of all the car bombs" says General Petraeous. "Iraq is going to have to learn to live with some degree of sensational attacks." Meanwhile, some Iraqis want to re-erect Saddam's statue. How can our brave Bible-bashing warlords keep spinning tales of freedom & reconstruction, while presiding over scenes of torture and slaughter? All for what? To pillage oil. We are in the throws of a resource war sold as a freedom ride, although 70 percent of children in Baghdad exhibit "trauma-related stress from passing dead bodies in the streets, from witnessing relatives being killed, and from being injured in attacks".
So of course people are starting to rub the sleep from their eyes and to examine more closely the edifice of illusion that for so long has held them spellbound.
Over the years we learned a lot about Paris Hilton and little of the Tigris Hilton, soaring to the skies from the rubble of Baghdad, the sole construction project running on schedule. This is the new American Embassy, which features flash restaurants, a state-of-the-art gym, a cinema, tennis courts, and the biggest swimming pool in Iraq. In addition to plush digs for the Ambassador and a deputy, there are six apartments for senior officials, as well as two huge office blocks, where an 8,000 staff of diplomats, soldiers, FBI agents, torturers, spies and spin doctors can meddle in the Middle East.
Even Donald Trump looked down the barrel of CNN and said the war is a disaster, the President is a disaster and the White House a disseminator of lies. The head of the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, has endorsed the "feasibility" of Bush, Blair and Howard being docked at the Hague on charges for war crimes. Investigators from Europe found that 1,254 secret and illegal CIA flights have violated European airspace since 9/11, some carrying kidnapped suspects bound for torture. It was bloggers who blew the whistle, as the mainstream media slept.
We're finding that everything is connected. Corporate media thrills to war, as it is good for business, especially the businesses owned by its advertisers and board members, some of which peddle weapons of mass destruction (Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon. Overall, consumers were fed flag-wrapped tales of rose petal welcomes and falsified heroics, often scripted by the Pentagon.
This diplomatic fortress spreads across an acreage larger than Vatican City and is visible from space. All talk of pulling Americans troops out Iraq has nothing to do with pulling Americans out of Iraq. The Tigris Hilton is a glorified garrison, one of about 738 US bases criss-crossing the globe, some with secret prisons and nuclear missiles.
In short, dear citizen of the future, what we face today is a global empire addicted to oil, armed to the teeth and run by a pinhead.

Will there ever be V6 support for Sony? Now #3 camera maker.
And getting stronger. Don't get me started about Sony flash issues, but isn't it better now than before with the non-standard Minolta shoe?
I tried to post this yesterday, but there was some glitch. Trying again:
hmmmmm....I'll give this a try with my
Pentax 540. I have 2 Metz flashes for the Sony as well, and
I'll see if I can get them to work----although from the setup and
profile recognition schema the Metz flashes I have are listed under
the other makes, so this is a little confusing. Which make
should I use to get the Metz flashes recognized?
I am also
asking why there is no support for Sony flashes, though.
you see my other question about the Pentax 500 FTZ flash?
For your Pentax 540 you'll have to select "Pentax" as the flash system and the profile for the 540. You will be able to use this flash with a V6 and a Sony camera (or any other camera with a standard ISO hot-shoe for that matter).
For your Metz flashes, you'll have to select the flash system they were made for. For instance, if they were made to work with Nikon, you'd have to select "Nikon" as the flash system and then the respective profile for the flash.
If your Metz flashes are made to work with Sony cameras then you are probably out of luck. I don't think you will be able to remote control their power levels, but you can certainly try some of the existing profiles to see whether they work.
Cactus will have to answer the question about Sony flash support. Originally the V6 only supported the Canon, Nikon, and Pentax flash systems. Some Olympus and Panasonic models were added later on. Perhaps some Sony flash models will follow, provided they are compatible with the connector layout of the multi-brand hot-shoe of the V6.

By Dan Vergano, USA TODAY
Anyone who ever wondered why dying vegetation — say like a freshly-clipped red rose — may appeal to a lady friend, might take some comfort in science, which once again offers us a rational answer to one of the world's great irrationalities.
Beyond a universal preference in people for blue, "the long history of color preference studies has been described as 'bewildering, confused and contradictory'," write neuroscientists Anya Hurlbert and Yazhu Ling of England's Newcastle University, authors of a new study in the journal Current Biology. "This fact is perhaps surprising," they add, "given the prevalence and longevity of the notion that little girls differ from boys in preferring pink."
But the neuroscientists believe they have an answer to this scientific riddle, uncovering a distaff preference for red, hidden atop the universal liking for blue.
In their study, the pair quickly flashed color cards, displaying numerous variations in shade, hue and saturation, at 208 volunteers, mostly Britishers but with a substantial number of Han Chinese, who were recent emigrants to the United Kingdom. Tested in three different experiments, the researchers teased out a small but significant preference for reddish hues in the female volunteers.
Puzzled, the authors realized that most of the difference between men and women came in the form of a preference for red versus green in the color cards, regardless of the other shadings such as the bluish ones that everyone liked. Why might this be?
Evolution might offer an answer, they reason. Human color perception, the "trichromacy" assessment of three separate color types — red-green-blue — in our vision is a relatively recent addition to our line of mammals.
"We speculate that this sex difference arose from sex-specific functional specializations in the evolutionary division of labour," suggests the study. In primate evolution, the "hunter-gatherer" theory holds that women were inordinately "gatherers," looking for ripe, yellow fruits and edible red leaves hidden in green vegetation.
Or perhaps there is something about women's intuition that is related to the vision thing, they suggest. "An alternative explanation for the evolution of trichromacy is the need to discriminate subtle changes in skin color due to emotional states and social-sexual signals." In other words, women may actually have evolved to pick up feelings and emotions given away by blushes and other physical signs, while men were out looking for a meal somewhere.
Adding weight to their argument, they found women who scored most feminine on a psychological survey, the "Bem Sex Role inventory," also had the biggest preference for reddish colors. "My love is like a red, red rose," wrote the Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1794, doubtless musing on just this kind of chemistry.

Sino-Ocean investor sells shares amid rally
An investor in Beijing-based property developer Sino-Ocean Land Holdings planned to raise as much as HK$622.4 million in a share placement after the market closed yesterday, taking advantage of the recent rally, sources said.
Jolly Eagle, owned by Pacific Alliance Asia Opportunity Fund, offered to sell 80 million Sino-Ocean shares at between HK$7.63 and HK$7.78 each, according to an e-mail sent to fund managers.
The offering represents 1.8 per cent of Sino-Ocean's existing share capital. Jolly Eagle was an initial investor in the developer with a 2.79 per cent stake.
Goldman Sachs is arranging the sale. The Wall Street bank and Morgan Stanley also handled Sino-Ocean's HK$11.9 billion initial public offering last year.
Shares of Sino-Ocean sank to as low as HK$4.99 last month but have since rebounded to close at HK$8.10 yesterday.
The placement came one week after the lock-up period on Jolly Eagle's stake expired on March 27.
Other cornerstone investors, including hedge fund firm OZ Management, Government of Singapore Investment Corp and Hong Kong-listed HKR International, are also expected to divest their interests while the stock price remains firm as the long-term prospects for the mainland property market are still cloudy.
Sino-Ocean sold US$240 million worth of shares to cornerstone investors during its initial public offering.
'The China property market is unlikely to get out from under the current plight. Because of the high inflation, the central government will probably use another rate rise to cool down the economy, which is bad news for developers,' said a fund manager.
Evergrande Real Estate Group, a Guangzhou-based developer, scrapped a HK$16.5 billion initial public offering two weeks ago because of the lukewarm response from institutional and retail investors.

I Am Legend (2007)
Excellent adaptation proving there is still heart and soul(s?) in the big movie business.
After skimming the book, and having watched the previous two attempts at I Am Legend, I went in hoping for the best, but expecting mediocrity, (or something like the two recent Resident Evil films)... But I was quite surprised and entertained by what I experienced. Though it's true that most of the CG in this film is not very good, it's apparent to me that CG isn't the film's selling point, or what it leans on for merit. It's a well acted, well paced, well directed, and well adapted piece. Honestly, the 'monster' aspect never needed to be front-and-center visually for it to be effective. I thought it was implemented very well (largely in the dark and ultra fast moving scenes where the imagination can assist).
I was hoping for a departure from "The Omega Man", which I thought was an incredibly silly film of what I consider to be the "A-Team variety". But, for the first 30 minutes or so, there were just so many analogs to Charlton Heston's performance that it was getting predictable (though the Will Smith version is hardly as pompous as Heston's). Very quickly, though, I forgot all about that concern and the movie really came into it's own. Smith's character, the environment, and the adversary were all quite different and very well conceived.
I was also expecting vampires (a genre that I'm no big fan of), and was pleasantly surprised at what I found in this film's antagonist to be (which is 28 times more endearing to me than vampires).
The third and probably most detracting thing I was expecting from this film was for it to suffer from the standard droll devices of a big-budget blockbuster: the requisite love story, Rambo shoot-em-up action, and a dialog-over-story plot basis. Oh, and not to mention headlining a traditionally "feel-good" star actor that could probably run for president one day. Fortunately, none of these normally ever-present problems intruded to ruin this film. And though it was indeed an uncharacteristically dark role for Smith in several ways, he pulled it off brilliantly.
Maybe it could have been a little longer, answering more questions and allowing more of the psychodrama to filter in, but it's possible that would have spoiled the excellent balance of jump-in-your seat action vs. the plot/tension building interstital scenes. The theater I saw this in was packed with plenty viewers from the younger crowd (it's hard to believe this film is only PG-13 in the US). However, the entire theater was completely silent and caught in the grip of the films action, story line, and excellent pacing.
I noticed a lot of people taking advantage of what could be considered the 'comic relief' of this film. However, I found some of the 'humorous' parts less than laughable, and more disturbing than anything. When you see this, really try to understand this man's environment and then you will probably better understand his psyche.
I will look forward to more from this relatively unknown writer/director team.
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
Okay as a Road Warrior style post-apocalyptic film... But a great zombie franchise sequel? Not so much.
In the not too distant future, viral weaponry research and development goes all wrong. What follows is an entertaining vision for any fan of zombie pandemic stories or just plain world/human survival style films. The first film in this franchise is decidedly the best with as-believable-as-can-be ideas, nifty effects, a decent (not over-the-top) story. The second and third films, however, move pretty far away from the basic zombie survival story and much further into character-based stories with a focus on splinter/spin-off concepts like wildly comic book/cartoonish science fiction elements. So if you enjoy movies that are based on comic books or video games that will require you to accept a lot of really over-the-top ideas (like superpowers, supernatural powers, CHUD-style mutation, magic, etc.), then you will still enjoy the latter two films since they are not bad on that merit. They're also okay as general apocalyptic survival stories. However, as a fan of the zombie genre, if you were expecting a solid continuation of the basic story of zombie infection from the first film, these sequels will let you down. The Romero-style zombies in these films are really just extras that apparently just needed to be in the background making room for more intense and faster (though much less believable) antagonists. Maybe this is because films like 28 Days/Weeks and Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead have done much to turn the volume down on lumbering old-style zombies and Paul W.S. Anderson felt that he needed to crank up the action factor.
In RE3, our heroes finally figure out that moving to near the arctic circle would be a good move (you know, COLD + ZOMBIE = IMMOBILE ZOMBIE), and decide to hoof it to Alaska after learning of a possible isolated colony of survivors there. There are a number of new twists on the infection (you will be thinking of Bud The Zombie and/or Bud The CHUD at a few points), and there will be more Boyle/Snyder style zombie goodness to contend with mixed in with the normal zombie hoards.
There were, however, some hold-out thematic elements from the first two films. There are zombie Doberman pinchers, creepy hologram girls with British accents, plenty of zombie-around-the-corner jump-in-your-seat moments, and of course Alice either naked or in hot Road Warrior-style tactical gear. There is the terrible T-Virus infection, and the perfect anti-virus strait out of the X-Files. There are new hints at the answers to old questions, and some new things to think about that still relate to the basic T-Virus. And without a doubt, there's the recurring theme of the evil big corporation (The Umbrella Corp. A.K.A. Halliburton + Merck + United Healthcare) which caused the mess but has managed to out-survive governments and massive population decimation. The moral here? What happens when a capitalistic society allows a private entity to become too powerful? The evil private scientists always plot to rule the world at the expense of the common population.
Anyway, I don't go to the theater to see films often, but I try to make it to the big-budget zombie flicks... However, on the merit of being a zombie film, I could have waited for this one to roll to DVD...
The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988)
The only real zombies: caught between death and heaven.
When I first saw this film as a 12 year-old (what were my parents thinking?) I was unimpressed and recall thinking the movie was stupid. Now that I have done some research into the Vudu (the politically correct spelling) Tetrodotoxin zombies (and have begun to enjoy zombie theory in general), I appreciated this film much more.
Though there are some cheeseball scenes (which I would expect in any Wes Craven film), I think this one was was intended to be taken serious, and some of these pre-CGI effects are done very well. The topic of real zombies has been an interesting subject since US armed forces veterans began bringing stories of the "zombie powder" Vudu traditions back from Haiti in the early part of the last century. Movies like White Zombie and several books detail the application of this medical condition into forced labor or worse.
While Serpent and the Rainbow was entertaining, it's not likely that real zombie powder is standardized in such a way that it's efficacy will follow any reliable pattern, such as the Soap Opera-style "rules" described by the good doctor. i.e.: total zero vital signs, a 12 hour effectiveness, etc. Additionally, this type of toxin will generally leave it's victim severely brain damaged, and most likely good-for-nothing. So, this film takes a bit of creative liberty, and a good imagination will help you enjoy it. Though it's nearly 20 years old, not much is dated (even most of the effects), and it's still a fun viewing now.
Snag it on your DVR!
Braindead (1992)
Shaun of the Dead is elevator music in comparison...
So over-the-top and only gets better...
This zombie film/zombie comedy (I think the movie Dead and Deader coined the term Zomedy) is so over-the-top, and only gets worse (better?) as you progress. Though there is a lot of fanfare about this title now that Peter Jackson is a recognizable name, it's not Peter's name attached that makes this a great film in it's genre. Before watching this, I thought "Oh well, if it's terrible, it's only 97 minutes of my life and I can get some work done while I watch"... After the first 20 minutes or so, I never decided break from the movie.
This is a film that employs so many zombie clichés that it's really incredible. It creates new ones that have been used by other films, and exploits zombie pre-1992 scenes for excellent comic (and general shock) effect. As you begin to think you've seen the last over-the-top effect or idea, it only gets more incredible. The turning and kill scenes really get more and more insanely campy, but in the best of ways. You can feel the ballistic gel squishing. You can hear the hand-in-the-turkey foley art... Classic! Then it has the audacity to try to create familial drama after you are already invested in the extreme campiness. Imagine Evil Dead, but GOOD! Genre fans will love it, casual movie-goers will try to take it seriously and may hate it.
Köshpendiler (2005)
Not a terrible "epic" style movie.
I would argue that there weren't many genuinely original concepts, other than simply shedding some light on Kazakh history. Basically a live action, feel-good version of the Prince of Egypt cartoon, trading Egyptians and Hebrews for nomadic Muslims. But that being said, it was decent and crisp.
Filming locations seemed really great, like LOTR - The Two Towers without any need for CGI! As for rating/violence, it could have almost been PG13 in the US, but I liked this fact. It was a clean-ish film that likens back to the spaghetti western. No over-the-top violence, sex, swearing, or embellishing for the sake of a Hollywood audience. While this generally comes off slightly cartoonish, it was refreshing.
As for the language, I would swear that it seemed to be filmed in English and dubbed in Kazakh. In fact, I don't usually mind a dubbed movie (especially Spanish or Japanese for some reason), but half-way through this film, I realized there was an English audio track and switched it over, and I was more engaged.
The horse work was pretty amazing, I thought.
Again, overall, this film seemed to have all the filming quality of an expensive Hollywood movie, but brought a niceness that's less common in contemporary film (Note: guaranteed NOT to hold the attention of most American youth).
300 (2006)
Once the fight begins, blink only with one eye.
This is in the same vein of many "against all odds" historical films like Troy, Gladiator, and Braveheart. It's yet another celluloid testament to the fact that the few brave can affect the tide of time and history. The truth is that without this brand or kind of bravery, the world would be different, in fact, in this particular case, the democratic or free world might not be... or would at least be different that it is. It's interesting that Xerxes actually threatens to burn every Greek parchment. This truly would be a hit to any free society of today.
It's possible that watching "Last Stand of the 300" is a prerequisite for this film. It wouldn't spoil it (if you're wondering). If nothing more, it imparts much gravity to the events of this movie. The true back-story is really something that changed the world, and is in most 10th grade history lesson plans.
I liked the cast of relative unknowns (I wouldn't dare say B-listers!). The physical appearance/tone of the characters and the presence they relate to the audience is very important. In fact, type cast actors or the possibility of bringing reference to other movies into this film could have ruined it. The only character I might have considered recasting with a better-known actor would be that of the Captain (I would have voted for Tom Sizemore).
I only have two negative comments (maybe robbing the film of a star each): 1. The splattering blood/wet sponge foley art that is in many scenes really drew the quality down to that of a complete graphic novel knockoff, or the surreal environment of Sin City. But maybe that's just a Snyder trademark, and is excusable.
2. The dialog. Some of this script is right out of any other 20th century war movie... I'm glad that at LEAST there were were no Schwartzeneger one-liners.
I don't know or care where Zack Snyder came from, but his work is already legendary by my estimation... and I get the feeling he's just at the foot of the mountain.
Watch "Last Stand...", Then get this movie.
Isolation (2005)
Unexpectedly very well done.
About as believable as any good zombie film, Isolation excels at pacing, thorough examination and explanation, and coming full circle with all of the concepts it presents. Something that so many similar movies fail at.
If you are looking for a mindless slasher, watch something else, though there's slightly creepy nuances that beckon back to films like Alien. If you need that human relation-based plot, there might be enough here to keep you satisfied, but the film doesn't rely at all on developing side-stories of love and emotion. Characters have seemingly realistic reactions and make understandable decisions (unclouded by the need to make irrational decisions for the sake of building tension in the script). Scenes follow-through to conclusion and don't seem edited for time.
Isolation leaves no main plot thread unresolved, and stylishly elaborates on the scientific as well as horrific ideas as they presented. I don't think this will be a widely appealing film, but it didn't take any wrong turns. I don't recall any advertising for it. This might mean it's less Nike and more sandal, but there is a time when sandals are practical.
It's every bit as intelligent as the best X-Files episodes, and I wasn't able to find any cheese in the effects, though I half-anticipated it to devolve into Critters or a Texas Chainsaw movie. It didn't, however, and was able to maintain it's integrity throughout.
I thought it was a gamble when I chose to rent this over a well-advertised title. But I now feel it was entertaining enough and well worth picking up.
The Hills Have Eyes II (2007)
What you get without hiring a military technical adviser.
As the film opens, I found myself wondering if I was about to experience something GOOD from Wes Craven.
If you like lots of sloshing "hand-in-the-turkey" foley art, unlikely military situations, and cheesy def lepard songs, you will love this needless remake.
The first remake (2006) caught my attention because it actually took the directorial/writing latitude of allowing bad things to happen to everybody, while keeping the hero survivors at a minimum. This one has few of those qualities, far less situational tense drama, and pathetic military sense.
I tried to figure out if the horrible military accuracy is intentional (considering it IS a National Guard unit), or if it's just the lack of competent oversight (I couldn't find any military adviser in the credits or here). Probably the latter. The uniforms and gear were put together well at first (though everything was obviously new, that's a possibility for reservists/Guard).
Anyway, it's a testament to how lacking in content this film was that all I did was analyze technical detail like the freshmen foley work and military blundering. In fact, they should have left the military aspect out of the film if they didn't want to do it right.
It's not nearly the original, and as with most sequels, fails to capture anything of value from the first film, nor add any new intelligence vector.
The Mars Underground (2007)
As Excellent a documentary as it is wonderful propaganda.
In terms of information (concise, lay information at that!), this documentary was spot on. I found it on my DVR from the Discovery Science Channel (I routinely record "space" night every week). Though the film tends to focus on all of Robert Zubrin's theories exclusively, it's a great poster tool for pushing the agenda of manned space exploration past the moon. I suspect the film's title is a reference to the Mars society, and not to Mars geology (which is what I was thinking at first). Although I'm not a member of the Mars society, but I do agree with the case for Mars in general, and this was more exciting than an hour of watching the Mars rovers slowly dig an inch into Mars' surface.
Although I like to consider myself pretty familiar with these topics, this documentary really gave me insight into the history and primary concepts of the argument for Mars that I never really knew before. The Mars Underground actually answered many questions that I knew to ask from my experience that I would have thought would go unanswered in this short documentary. In the first few moments, I was already asking about radiation, provisions, bone mass loss (due to gravity), and the overwhelming cost of a short Mars trip only to throw around some dirt and plant a flag.
Dr. Zubrin's very bold plans really throw standard convention and the tendency to inject too much bureaucracy into a simple project. His almost shoestring budget and nearly arrogant propositions are aligned with the same thinking of the Apollo missions, Christopher Columbus, and other major pioneering ventures. But it's what is needed to take that next step and step out of our reductionist couch comfort to do what's right for humanity in the name of life itself.
The Shadow Walkers (2006)
Very poor acting of most every character. Goofy effects and makeup.
That about sums it up, so rather than really reviewing much more, here are the high (low?) points:
In the stolen plot devices category:
1) Chemical gas knocking out genetics lab employees (who wake up with temporary memory loss): Resident Evil
2) Tedious dance across thin object bridging an abyssal drop while evading or escaping: The Poseidon Adventure (new one), The Fellowship of the Ring, most any action film with an elevator scene, and many others... (take your pick).
3) Immense facility to provide perfect settings for zombie confrontations and on which the world's safety from pandemic tragedy relies on containment of said facility: (entire Resident Evil franchise).
4) Somewhat sentient zombie-like antagonists that have very human memories and abilities, but still want to kill everyone: Every poorly-done A-Team variety zombie film ever made.
Other random poorly conceived or implemented ideas:
1) Doctor or Lab tech (white coat staff) wearing fishnet top.
2) General Death Star-like abyss of a "Genetic Containment Unit".
3) Blatantly stealing "You are one ugly Mother..." from Predator.
4) Having a survivor maintain a fist-fight with an obviously superior "infected" (or whatever you want to call it) mutated human who's saliva would only infect the survivor as he hits it.
5) Adding generic porn-film quality soundtrack by an 80's soundtrack band in an attempt to sound like Slipknot in Resident Evil or somehow appeal to a younger party crowd.
6) The very much cliché idea that Big Bad (not to mention always bungling) "Military Industrial Complex" is of course responsible for the inevitable mess of genetically engineered zombie hordes every time.
7) Use of the word "Prion" in the script in an attempt to impart some sense of intelligence or scientific reasoning.
8) Adding the genetic mutation of fangs and long, sharp claws to the film's antagonists, only to have them very carefully avoid using them in nearly attack every scene (presumably to avoid having to have makeup/effects re-apply them when they pop off/out).

You could just as easily say the pressure point could be the offensive line but we have said the offensive line too many times and it is an equal proposition when it comes to the run game. You might be surprised to see this and read the numbers, but Kansas is 86th in total defense allowing 424.8 yards a contest and the split is somewhat impressive, considering Kansas hasn't won a Big 12 contest since beating Iowa State in 2014, as the Jayhawks are allowing 197.2 yards per game rushing and 227.7 yards per game passing.
On only the rushing number are the Cowboys better, but also Kansas has played a soft nonconference schedule and Texas Tech, TCU, and Baylor in the league. Only Baylor is really pushing the rushing game on its offense.
Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich is quick to point out it is more how his offense plays and prepares. Nobody is counting on an easy contest in Lawrence. In fact, the last two trips to KU have had OSU winning 27-20 in 2014 and 20-14 in 2012.
"You have to maintain your focus and it's about how we play," Yurich said pushing an agenda of the offense striving to improve in all areas of their makeup. "We have to make sure we're on top of our game and we're carrying our assignments, that we're playing with urgency. All those things are important to get momentum and play to your strengths.
"We can't do too much, we had an off-week, so we're rested, but at the same time we have to make sure we're not installing too much. We have to maintain our base offense and go to those plays that have been working all year for us, but change it up enough to keep them off-kilter. A fast start is imperative, ball security is important and that starts at the line of scrimmage and goes to the receivers, quarterback and making sure we're staying on schedule and giving ourselves a chance to score and move the chains consistently."
Offensive center Brad Lundblade believes this is a great opportunity to improve the run game.
"We know they will play hard and they have several junior college players they have brought in on the defensive line and they are playing well," Lundblade said. "We need to improve ourselves. The run game is better but we aren't anywhere close to what we need to be. Justice (Hill) has proven he is elusive and and we had that big run against Iowa State by Jeff Carr, but we need to open up holes that lead to a lot more explosive plays like those.
Oklahoma State is averaging 129.7 rushing yards a game and last season that number was 126.8 yards, so better but only by a smidge. It's time to take that to a greater level and Kansas is a perfect challenge to get that done. Chris Carson is back and another hand to help out.
Of course, I think every Oklahoma State fan wants to see a runner get hot, get rolling, and turn it into a monster game. Can it happen Saturday in Lawrence is a great question?

Six human rights activists in Sudan have been charged with espionage and terrorism, charges that could lead to death penalties. International agencies are calling for the charges to be dropped.
According to Freedom House, after 86 days in detention without charge, Khalaf-Allah Al-Afif Muktar, Mustafa Adam and Midhat Afifaddin Hamadan have been charged under the Criminal Act Article 50 (Undermining the Constitutional System), Article 51 (Waging War Against the State), Article 53 (Espionage) and Article 65 (Criminal and Terrorist Organizations). Arwa Al-Rabie, Imany-Leila Ray and Al-Hassan Kheiry, who had been released on bail, were also charged with these four crimes.
Adam and Hamadan have also been charged under Article 14 of the Information Crimes Law.
The six civil society activists are associated with Training and Human Development (TRACKs).
The charges are "preposterous and were brought against these individuals for exercising the fundamental right to free association," said Vukasin Petrovic, director for Freedom House Africa programmes.
"The government of Sudan should either drop these absurd charges or ensure a speedy and fair trial. It should allow observers to attend all proceedings and guarantee the defendants' right to receive visitors in prison."
TRACKs, a Khartoum-based organization, has been raided twice during the last two years by Sudan's National Intelligence and Security Services, which has confiscated the passports of staff members.
In April 2015 criminal charges-some carrying the death penalty-were brought against TRACKs Director Khalafalla Alafif Mukhtar and Adil Bakheit, a human rights defender and member of the Board of Directors for Sudanese Human Rights Monitor.
The United Nations has also urged the Sudanese authorities to drop the charges.
"The charges brought against them appear to be directly linked to their work in the defence of human rights, while exercising their rights to freedom of expression and freedom of association," said the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, Maina Kiai, in a news release issued by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
"This sentence is likely to have a chilling effect among activists and human rights defenders in Sudan," he added.
"The death penalty is an extreme form of punishment. lf used at all, it should only be imposed after a fair trial that respects the most stringent due process guarantees as stipulated in international human rights law," the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, Agnes Callamard, said in the news release. "I am seriously concerned that any trial of these six people would not uphold such principles."
UN experts also voiced their concern at the increasing harassment and intimidation of key civil society members in the country and curbs to freedom of expression and association, which are also guaranteed under the country's constitution.
