New park coming to city
Conover received a grant valued at more than $400,000 to help the city make improvements to a tract of land near Conover Station.
The Clean Water Management Trust Fund grant will help city officials engineer a stormwater wetland on Conover Station's southern end. Once the wetland is completed, it will become Conover Station Park, which increases the city's park acreage by nearly 50 percent and serves the city's only quadrant not currently benefitting from a park.
"Park space for both active and passive recreation are important to our citizens," said Conover Mayor Lee Moritz Jr. "This was clearly identified during several public workshops."
Conover Station is a mixed-use commercial development currently under construction on the old Broyhill Furniture site in the city. While majority of the property will be used for commercial opportunities, a piece of land on the property's southern end wasn't suitable for development.
According to Conover planning director Lance Hight, the land is part of a low-lying drainage area near the headwaters of McLin Creek. But instead of leaving the area untouched, Hight and other city leaders decided to utilize the land as a water-treatment area and preserve it for park space.
"That lower portion always seemed very park-like from the very beginning," Hight said.
Conover has 12 park acres within the city, and Conover Station Park will add almost six more acres to the city's
The city applied for the Clean Water grant in late 2008, but they didn't receive a response for about two years.
"We just kind of assumed it was one of those grants that we applied for and didn't get," Hight said.
But that wasn't the case. Hight said grant funding was put on hold because of a tight state budget, but funding is now available after more than two years of waiting.
City officials received word in October that their grant application was approved for up to $415,719.
The city contributed grant matching funds valued at $153,485, which is the estimated value of what will be the Conover Station Park. Hight said the property value was used as matching funds because, by developing the property as storm-water wetlands, the city forfeited the opportunity to use the property for another commercial use.
The Clean Water grant money will pay for designing and engineering the wetland, as well as conservation easement acquisition. Engineers will stabilize the wetland's banks, and when the project is completed, it will filter and clean water that runs through the area.
Hight said the city is currently recruiting engineering firms to take on the wetland project. He hopes to have a firm selected for the job and starting on the project in the coming months. The wetland engineering at Conover Station should be completed by next year, Hight said.
Once the wetland project is completed, the city will continue to develop the area as a park. Hight said officials are pursuing a Parks and Recreation Trust Fund grant to purchase nature-themed playground equipment and fund other park-related needs, such as walking trails, shelters and nature kiosks with information about the stormwater wetland.
Moritz said the grant will be awarded mid-year, if the city is fortunate enough to receive funding. He said many people helped develop the city's plan for Conover Station Park, and he commends efforts from the city's planning board and residents for their hard work and input.

She calls it the "mark of the devil."
Texas teen Andrea Hernandez, 15, who was kicked out of her high school after refusing to wear a tracking device, will be allowed to return after a judge granted her a temporary restraining order against Northside Independent School District.
Hernandez has refused to wear the school-issued identification card, which tracks student movements on school grounds, because she believes it is Satanic and claims it is against her religious principles and impinges on her right to privacy. She has called it the "mark of the beast."
Are we creating a generation that is going to be acclimated to that kind of government tracking?. Is that really something we want to do in America?
- Jay Stanley, Senior policy ACLU analyst
A judge will make a final decision Wednesday on whether Hernandez has the right to refuse to carry the tracking ID card. The case, which would be a major win for privacy advocates if she's allowed to refuse to wear the ID, could set a precedent for similar cases nationwide as districts decide whether or not to track their own students.
"This will send a message, if we can get the junction, students will be able to opt out of this program," said Hernandez's lawyer, Marc Whitehead, a lawyer representing the Rutherford Institute, a non-profit agency that takes on religious-based civil rights cases.
The case blew up earlier this year when she was reassigned from John Jay High School's Science and Engineering Academy in San Antonio for refusing to wear the tracking device, a GPS-type device that allows school officials to track a student's precise location on school property. Her high school was one of two chosen as pilots to try out the program.
The program is meant to improve classroom attendance in schools seeking to maximize per-student funding from the state. There are plans to expand the program if it is successful.
The ID cards include Radio Frequency Identification chips that produce a radio signal, presumably to alert officials when a student is playing hooky, or skipping class.
Northside was the first Texas district to test this RFID tracking system.
"They pose direct privacy problems for students," said Jay Stanley, Senior policy ACLU analyst "They also raise the question what are we teaching our children, schools teach not only what they say but by example."
Hernandez and her father, Steven, both described as very religious by her lawyers, decided to take a stand against the school district.
The school district could not be reached for comment. But a district spokesman told the San Antonio Express-News that Hernandez was allowed to wear her badge with the chip removed, even though there is no opting out of the program.
Critics say it's simply a ploy by the school to make more money.
They also claim the system could be susceptible to hacking by sexual predators wanting to know the whereabouts of young teens – and it could put students at risk.
Just this weekend, according to the Express-News, the system was reportedly hacked by someone purporting to be with the hacker group Anonymous. A spokesman for the district said the site was never compromised.
Nonetheless, the hacking attempt fueled fears of what the tracking could do.
"Are we creating a generation that is going to be acclimated to that kind of government tracking?" Stanley asked. "Is that really something we want to do in America?"

Never give human medications to your cat unless you have been told to do so by your veterinarian. Most people pills, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), are toxic to felines.
It is easier to first have a kitten use a regular litter box before graduating to a human toilet. Mother cats do help train their kittens, but felines in general naturally gravitate to material they can easily dig when nature calls. Most kittens and cats therefore have no problem finding the litter box and using it, as long as there is not a problem with the box's placement, an underlying health issue, a behavioral problem or other complication.
Keep in mind that cats are also very driven by odors, so if they mess on your carpet or another undesirable spot, they might return to that area unless it's properly cleaned. To prevent that, use an enzyme-based product that can help break down the waste material.
Assuming your kitten is litter box savvy and close to adulthood, you can now consider toilet training your pet. Jenn Spencer, author of the blog Cat Toilet Training, shares that the advantages of doing this are many. The benefits are "first financial, since cat owners will not need to purchase litter once their cat is potty trained to use a toilet," she says. "Besides that, you will never have the dirty job of cleaning out a litter box again, which is typically the least favorite chore in a cat household. Another advantage of toilet training your cat is the elimination of unpleasant smells from your house, since you can simply flush it away and not have to let it sit in a dirty litter box for a few days."
Spencer and other experts explain that training your cat to use the toilet requires several gradual steps. To simplify the process, buy a training system, such as Litter Kwitter. It includes four training discs that, over a period of time, transition the top of your toilet from a more standard litter box setup for your cat to basically just the toilet itself. The goal is to get your cat to jump on the toilet seat and take care of its business as we do (minus the jumping, of course!).
Whichever method you use, Spencer says to never force your cat to move to the next step in the training process until it is comfortable with the step you are working on. It might take a few extra weeks for your pet to get the hang of being toilet trained, but it will certainly be worth it in the long run.

Jo-Ann Warzecha, Middletown,CT says: Where can I buy this training kit? Can a cat really learn to use a toilet instead of a litter box? It is like a dream come true! (only joking about toilet paper though, in case my fb comment comes up, lol)
Jabbar says: ok, so lol i trained my ciuhhahua to use the litter box, and this is how, instead of taking him outside after accidents we used a pee pad, basically instead of taking the dog outside put the puppy on a pee pad, it takes awhile butting finally my dog knows to go on the pee pad and we put that pee bad inside of a dog litter pan that you can get from petsmart, its so much cheaper then dog litter which can run $25 for 5 pounds. thats at high. Now even though she goes out now, we leave her litter box there just in case we dont make it in time tto let her out, and when i got to my parents we lay down a pee pad and if we cant watch her closely she bee lines to that [pee pad, great thing i ever did. though she perfers grass walmart also sells pee pad olders that have astroturf on top to give that real feal which can also be used as littert pan.
Cats reach full skeletal development when they are this old:

Bobcats name assistant coaches
Dan Leibovitz and Brian Winters were added to the Bobcats' staff as assistant coaches for new head coach Mike Dunlap.
"It was important to me to put together a coaching staff that mirrors my coaching philosophy and one that will consistently challenge our players to get better each and every time they hit the basketball floor," said Dunlap. "When I selected my staff I wanted to assemble a group that will care about the players, care about the team and love to teach the game of basketball."

Now that warm weather is here, I keep the window open in our bedroom, the window that looks out on the park across the street.
In the morning, as the sun rises and wakes me up, I see elderly people walking their excited little dogs along the pathways. I see middle-aged couples power-walking to burn off the fat.
Mid-day, it is moms, and sometimes dads, who inhabit the park with their small children.
In the afternoon, school kids of all ages walk past on their way home.
It is in the evening, when I am winding down for the day that the park is the noisiest, occupied by giggly, squealing teenage girls and overly-attentive teen boys.
In the course of one day, the circle of life is captured in the park across the street.

Yay for overlooking such a wonderful park! take care
Lovely - I can see it!ReplyDelete
That sounds like a great people-watching spot! It makes sense, but who would have thought it would be so dynamic?ReplyDelete
Having four daughters (all grown now), the words "overly-attentive teen boys" makes me cringe...ReplyDelete

Nixon leads Collection after 3rd round
Nixon leads Collection after 3rd round
Apr. 05, 2014
CADIZ, Spain (AP) — England's Matthew Nixon shot a 7-under 65 to take a one-stroke lead after the third round at the NH Collection Open on Saturday.
Nixon had nine birdies to overcome a pair of bogeys in the best round of the inaugural tournament at La Reserva de Sotogrande Golf Club for an overall 8-under 208.
Marco Crespi of Italy is one stroke behind Nixon with Chile's Felipe Aguilar another shot back in third.
Poor weather and then bad light had forced the opening two rounds to be suspended on Thursday and Friday, and the third round only got under way after 45 golfers finished their second round early Saturday morning.
Nixon says "I had a nice start and it just kept going."

I haven't been well lately, and that's why the blog hasn't been forthcoming. It's harder to write about happiness when you are not happy! And it is amazing how unhappy being ill makes you feel. It's just a headcold, but it has been going on for so long that it is affecting the way I feel about myself.
Interesting, isn't it? I feel ill and unable to concentrate, and I start thinking about how I am unable to do things, and I feel worse about myself, and I start feeling worse for real, and I go and sit in front of the TV and watch Buffy instead of writing a blog or any other of the worthwhile things I could be doing. It's all connected – my thoughts, feelings, actions, and physical wellbeing and situation all affect each other.
This is a basic tenet of Cognitive Behavioural Coaching. If I can change one of these things then all the others will be affected, hopefully for the better. If I can get up out of my armchair and turn Buffy off and go for a walk I will feel better about myself, and when I get back I can do something more constructive. If I'm doing something constructive with my time I feel better about myself, or at least a bit less useless than I did before. If I feel a bit more useful then I will be a bit more useful, which will make me do more useful things, and I'll feel better and better. Try it, it really works.
Your feelings influence your thinking, and what you are thinking influences your feelings. If you keep telling yourself how useless you are you will feel bad and you will be useless. So take the cold-and-flu tablets and do something when you feel ill, especially if the illness is going on for a long time. That's what I'm doing!

22nd March, gearsofwar.xbox.com
This prequel, set about 15 years before the events of Gears of War, centres around the arrival of the Locust and the bloody conflict that follows. Probably the biggest Xbox 360 exclusive of 2013, it looks likely to offer broadly similar gameplay to the three Gears of War games we've already seen, albeit with an overhauled multiplayer mode that, for the first time, brings class-based combat to the franchise.
Gears of War: Judgment
TBA, undeadlabs.com/stateofdecay
A downloadable XBLA (and Windows) game that's got us extremely excited, State of Decay is an open world (think Grand Theft Auto-style) game in which you control a group of survivors struggling to stay alive through a zombie apocalypse. You'll need to hunt down or trade for supplies, create and maintain bases and recruit specialist survivors to your group, all the while trying to avoid the hungry, shambling hordes that roam the landscape. The world, and story, develop depending on the choices you make.
TBA, thefarm51.com
We don't know too much about this first-person shooter, other than it's set in the 1930s and concerns a San Francisco private detective contending with Nazis and many other dangers as trots the globe in search of ancient artefacts. So: Indiana Jones crossed with Uncharted and all using the Unreal Engine 3. Colour us excited.
State of Decay
TBA, ascendgame.com
Another XBLA game, Ascend will be totally free to play for anyone with an Xbox Live Gold account – and by that we mean the whole single- and multiplayer portions of the game. It's a third-person action RPG in which you play a Caos: essentially a giant who wanders around a mythical landscape hitting things in an effort to "ascend" to god-hood. Ascend will also be linked to a mobile game, so you can build up your character when you're on the train – or the toilet, if that's your bag .
26th March, bioshockinfinite.com
Coming to the PS3 as well as the Xbox 360, BioShock Infinite is one of the most highly-anticipated titles of early 2013. Trading the mid-century undersea city of Rapture for 1912 Columbia, a city in the sky, the game is set to be the Mad Men of first-person shooters (where Call of Duty is Sons of Anarchy or something): intelligent and thought-provoking but also consistently fun.

7 December 2013
Kigali, Rwanda, December 6, 2013- FIVB President Ary Graça Filho visited Kigali Genocide memorial where he laid the wreath upon the burials of the victims of the famous incidents in 1994.
Graça was accompanied by FIVB first vice President Cristobal Marte Hoffiz as they are in Kigali to attend the CAVB Congress due to start at Serena hotel on Saturday December 7.
FIVB President had a detailed information about one of the worst incidents in the world and had a tour in the Museum where he was informed by the guides, how Rwanda came back of these bad moments to become one of the best African countries in Africa.
Rwanda had difficult days in their recent history. In 1994 they had disastrous events throughout 3 months in what is known as "Rwanda Genocide". Now they are still trying to bounce back in all activities where volleyball was also there to celebrate the memorial of the Genocide through annual volleyball competition.
Over 46 people belong to volleyball including players, coaches, and administrators, were killed during the 1994 Genocide perpetrated against Tutsi.
With a new government in place after Genocide, a wind of change was blowing across the country's playing fields. This government believed that sport and mainly volleyball could play an important part in rebuilding the country as volleyball can contribute to reconciliation, to the cultivation of a feeling of national unity. Sports unite people."
Volleyball has been assigned an important role in primary school education and village life. lt is hoped that this will help young people traumatised by the events of 1994 once again find enjoyment in their lives and promote friendship amongst children from primary school and village level.
After 19 years of the disaster U 19 and U 21 volleyball teams have participated not only on the level of African Championship but also on the World championship. 80% of the players were born during and after the Genocide.

Mustangs stop the Bucks
After 69 points in its first two games, Sweetwater cranked its high-powered offense up yet another notch for Friday's home opener against Breckenridge.The Buckaroos managed to answer just about every score with one of their own, however, until a long kickoff return and a key defensive play in the fourth quarter helped Sweetwater finally put the game away.With the 51-33 win — the Mustangs' highest one-game output in nearly five years — Sweetwater is now 2-1 on the season, while Breckenridge fell to 1-2.Sweetwater quarterback Kaegan Jeffrey and Breckenridge's Clay Boaz each threw for over 300 yards on Friday, and both were proficient running the ball as well. Jeffrey (17-of-25, 308 yards, no interceptions) threw a career-high five TD passes for the Mustangs — four to fellow junior Bray Amos (9 catches, 129 yards) and the other to senior Kaleb Hoover. He also ran for a season-high 88 yards and two TDs, both coming in the fourth quarter.Jeffrey's last touchdown came with 3:17 left and gave Sweetwater a 44-33 lead. It capped a short drive that began at Breckenridge's 32 following Amos' 48-yard kickoff return.Breckenridge took over at its 34, but Isaiah McGee intercepted Boaz's long pass and returned it 41 yards. A personal foul on the Bucks at the end of the play put Sweetwater at the Brecken-ridge 14. After two running plays gave the Mustangs a first-and-goal at the 3, Jeffrey provided the clincher when he threw his fourth TD pass to Amos with 1:34 to play.So Sweetwater, despite giving up over 30 points for the third straight game, is above .500 but must now face a dangerous Wall team this Friday.The Hawks (3-0), ranked No. 6 in Class 2A, will be the Class 3A Mustangs' homecoming foe and perhaps their biggest test yet. Wall won 35-14 on Friday over another perennial Class 2A power, Sonora.But Wall hasn't faced an offense of Sweetwater's cali-ber yet, so it should be an interesting — and, undoub-tedly, high-scoring — cont-est at the Bowl.Sweetwater head coach Shane Mobley saw his team trail only once (6-0) in Friday's game and led 18-6 at halftime, but Brecken-ridge matched the Mustangs score for score in the second half until the final 3:17."We allowed 33 points, but we were able to get back quick and score after they did," Mobley said. "It's frus-trating for me as a defensive guy, but fun if you're an of-fensive coach. "We're going to give up points, so it's important for the offense to produce and several guys stepped up for us tonight."One of them was backup running back Jay Lomas, who filled in most of the night for Marquees Jenkins — who was limited by an injury sustained last week. He had a 21-yard touchdown run in the second quarter that gave Sweetwater its first lead, 12-6. McGee, in addition to his interception, caught three passes for 90 yards while Hoover had four catches for 84 yards.Jeffrey did most of his running damage in the sec-ond half, gaining 69 of his 88 yards after intermission.The teams combined for 34 points in the third quar-ter, and neither team punted in the second half.Boaz threw for 307 yards but also ran for four TDs, the last cutting the lead to 38-33 with 5:26 left.

Real Life Rambo or Public Enemy Number 1?Posted: February 10, 2013 Filed under: Civil Liberties, Civil Rights, Crime | Tags: broken police and criminal justice systems, Christopher Dorner, LAPD 37 Comments
The frantic hunt for an ex LAPD officer turned shooter has turned into a series of odd and frightening events. The manhunt started out as a search for what was thought to be a spree shooter with a manifesto. The manifesto is available on line and talks about Christopher Dorner's beef with his former employer the LA police department. It seems the LAPD is now in a stranger-than-life manhunt that is providing more support for Dorner's manifesto than for the hunt for the ex cop who shot and killed 3 people, including a police officer and the daughter of a former police chief.
We now know that the man hunt for the ex-soldier isthe first known case of a Drone being used to hunt down a US citizen on US soil.
It was revealed that Dorner has become the first human target for remotely-controlled airborne drones on US soil.
It appears that the drone came from the Customs and Border Control Federal Agencies as reported by the UK-based Daily Express. You'll notice that most of the chilling and accurate coverage in this post comes from the UK.
POLICE plan to use spy drones in the hunt for a Rambo-style ex-soldier and policeman who has murdered three people and vowed to kill again.
They believe burly, heavily-armed Christopher Dorner is holed-up in the wilderness of California's snow-capped San Bernardino mountains 80 miles east of Los Angeles.
The burnt-out shell of his pick-up truck was discovered in the nearby resort of Big Bear, where residents and tourists have been warned to stay indoors as the search continues.
Yesterday, as a task force of 125 officers, some riding Snowcats in the rugged terrain, continued their search, it was revealed that Dorner has become the first human target for remotely-controlled airborne drones on US soil.
A senior police source said: "The thermal imaging cameras the drones use may be our only hope of finding him. On the ground, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Asked directly if drones have already been deployed, Riverside Police Chief Sergio Diaz, who is jointly leading the task force, said: "We are using all the tools at our disposal."
The use of drones was later confirmed by Customs and Border Patrol spokesman Ralph DeSio, who revealed agents have been prepared for Dorner to make a dash for the Mexican border since his rampage began.
He said: "This agency has been at the forefront of domestic use of drones by law enforcement. That's all I can say at the moment."
Dorner, who was fired from the LAPD in 2008 for lying about a fellow officer he accused of misconduct, has vowed to wreak revenge by "killing officers and their families".
The most bizarre and sad stories from this chase are the number of innocent people who have been shot and endangered by police who appear to be chasing down anything remotely resembling Dorner's transportation. This included an elderly Hispanic woman and her daughter delivering newspapers and neighborhood homes surrounding their ambush.
Two women who were delivering newspapers in Torrance, Calif., early Thursday were shot by jittery Los Angeles police officers who mistakenly thought cop-hunting fugitive Christopher Dorner might be in their vehicle, NBCLosAngeles.com reported.
One was shot once and the other twice; both were were expected to survive. Police did not release their names.
Police detectives investigate a shooting scene involving a black Honda pickup truck in Torrance, Calif. Police opened fire on the vehicle in a case of mistaken identity while searching for former Los Angeles police officer Christopher Dorner.
The LAPD detectives were in the neighborhood to watch over a home they believed Dorner might target. Hours earlier, the fired cop had allegedly ambushed officers in two other cities, killing one of them.
Across the region, cops on high alert were on the lookout for Dorner's dark-colored Nissan truck. In the predawn dark, they saw a blue pickup rolling through the streets with no headlights on.
It's unclear what happened next, but LAPD Chief Charlie Beck confirmed the officers fired on the vehicle, hitting the two occupants. He said it was a tragic case of "mistaken identity."
The second person was a young, skinny white man.
David Perdue was on his way to sneak in some surfing before work Thursday morning when police flagged him down. They asked who he was and where he was headed, then sent him on his way.
Seconds later, Perdue's attorney said, a Torrance police cruiser slammed into his pickup and officers opened fire; none of the bullets struck Perdue.
His pickup, police later explained, matched the description of the one belonging to Christopher Jordan Dorner — the ex-cop who has evaded authorities after allegedly killing three and wounding two more. But the pickups were different makes and colors. And Perdue looks nothing like Dorner: He's several inches shorter and about a hundred pounds lighter. And Perdue is white; Dorner is black.
"I don't want to use the word buffoonery but it really is unbridled police lawlessness," said Robert Sheahen, Perdue's attorney. "These people need training and they need restraint."
Police gave no warning to any of these folks. They obviously didn't look very carefully either as two petite hispanic women and a skinny white dude don't look a bit like the suspect who is a well built, large black man.
The women's lawyer, Glen Jonas, told the Times LAPD not follow protocol or the rules of engagement before they decided to exercise deadly force.
'With no warning, no command, or no instructions, LAPD opened fire on their vehicle,' Jonas said.
'This wasn't even close,' their attorney said.
'This was two petite Latina women versus a large black man, with a different vehicle, different color. The police didn't take the time to do the identification. They didn't give the "suspect" the opportunity to surrender. So the whole thing was just mishandled, and we expect that the city will acknowledge that and go from there.'
The police have lost track of the suspect and are now offering a huge reward for information leading to the suspect's arrest. Given the trigger happy police and the drone, I doubt arrest is what these folks have in mind. The most interesting thing is the shift of public opinion. The LAPD has a PR nightmare on their hands as well as the manhunt. This is from the Christian Science Monitor
The hunt for alleged cop killer Christopher Dorner has turned into a major public relations challenge for law enforcement officials, in particular the Los Angeles Police Department working its way back from a history of corruption and abuse.
Not only have hundreds of well-trained officers equipped with military-style vehicles – including helicopters with thermal imaging devices one pilot says can pick out a rabbit in a snowstorm – been unable to find the man charged with killing three people and wounding two others on a rampage aimed at police officers and their families.
The LAPD also has been forced to reexamine the reasons for Mr. Dorner's dismissal as a police officer in 2009 – brought about, Dorner charges in the 11-page manifesto he posted on Facebook, by racism in the department. And the LAPD is having to make amends to the two people – a middle-aged Hispanic woman and her mother delivering newspapers – wounded when police riddled their truck with gunfire. (The women's truck was neither the make nor the color of Dorner's pickup later found abandoned.)
A California Public TV station reports that a number of social media outlets are seeing increased expressions of support for Dorner.
America's history is sepia-soaked with outlaws who have engendered popular support. In keeping with this difficult-to-deconstruct phenomenon, a number of social media corners are cheering on suspected murderer Christopher Dorner while authorities are still trying to track him down.
Frankly, I find it very disturbing that the police are using more and more military style tactics. There are now scads of articles where military tactics used in Iraq are being used in the streets of the US by police departments. BB pointed out a few of these to me and you may want to look a them.
To counter gangs, Springfield adopts tactics from war zones
Police deployed military tactics to rescue hostage in Alabama bunker
So, there is a growing question about the usefulness of these insurgency tactics in Afghanistan, but apparently, it's fine to use them in US cities. This first jumped into public awareness in 2008 as John McCain suggested it was a good thing during his campaign for POTUS.
Senator John McCain has suggested adopting tactics used in Iraq to combat urban crime here at home. McCain made the comment while he spoke before the National Urban League.
Sen. John McCain: "And some of those tactics, very frankly — you mention the war in Iraq — are somewhat like that we use in the military. You go into neighborhoods, you clamp down, you provide a secure environment for the people that live there, and you make sure that the known criminals are kept under control. And you provide them with a stable environment, and then they cooperate with law enforcement."
We've had our own issues down here in New Orleans with our corrupt police, our broken criminal justice system, and out of control urban shootings. I believe this will continue to be an issue. Here's a related thing I just learned today and it's been on the ACLU's radar since 2006. It's just been expanded to something really frightening in a DHS Report which many lawyers believe is a direct violation of the 4th amendment.
The Department of Homeland Security's civil rights watchdog has concluded that travelers along the nation's borders may have their electronics seized and the contents of those devices examined for any reason whatsoever — all in the name of national security.
The DHS, which secures the nation's border, in 2009 announced that it would conduct a "Civil Liberties Impact Assessment" of its suspicionless search-and-seizure policy pertaining to electronic devices "within 120 days." More than three years later, the DHS office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties published a two-page executive summary of its findings.
"We also conclude that imposing a requirement that officers have reasonable suspicion in order to conduct a border search of an electronic device would be operationally harmful without concomitant civil rights/civil liberties benefits," the executive summary said.
The memo highlights the friction between today's reality that electronic devices have become virtual extensions of ourselves housing everything from e-mail to instant-message chats to photos and our papers and effects — juxtaposed against the government's stated quest for national security.
The President George W. Bush administration first announced the suspicionless, electronics search rules in 2008. The President Barack Obama administration followed up with virtually the same rules a year later. Between 2008 and 2010, 6,500 persons had their electronic devices searched along the U.S. border, according to DHS data.
So, we should really be worried about our due process and the access of police departments–all ready out of control–to sophisticated military tactics, techniques, and equipment via Homeland Security. Meanwhile, keep your eyes on the Dorner case. It appears to be layered with morality plays and plots from movies.

Maybe the righties are correct. We DO need to arm ourselves against gun violence foisted upon us by the government!
Something that has been on my mind, maybe you all might recall this event back in 1985……Do you remember the city that bombed itself……………Philadelphia, Pa……………….They went into a neighborhood of protesters who all wore dreadlocks, and all of them took on the surname of Africa…………….John Africa……….You might remember how horrible that was, because it was the city who decided to bomb the home, and killed a dozen or so people including little kids. They ended up damaging 70 or more homes, and I don't know how many were injured, but not one single person was ever charged for this destruction…………not one.
It reminds me also of the Donald Defreeze home in Los Angeles, they went in and burned it down, don't remember how many were killed. He was ex felon………..Not to mention all the shoot outs with LA cops and the panthers, including Oakland.
This kind of thing has been going on for some time in this Country………….. I am reminded also of Waco………as I was in that town when that happened.
No question in my mind that Dorner is public enemy #1. Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence, whom Dorner executed in cold blood, were both people of color, and both innocent bystanders. No wonder LAPD are scared sh*tless and making stupid mistakes trying to stop this maniac. It's not only their own lives, but those of their children that are under imminent threat.
Everything I've read about Dorner, including the manifesto, sounds like extreme narcissistic rage. I hope he is found dead or shot dead soon.
I bet you Dorner has killed himself already……………..dead.

Academy Award®-winning actor Al Pacino will be the recipient of the inaugural JACK VALENTI - L.A., ITALIA LEGEND AWARD, it was announced today by noted Italian filmmaker Lina Wertmuller, honorary chairman of the Istituto Capri nel Mondo, the governing body of the Los Angeles, Italia Ð Film, Fashion and Art Fest. Named in memory of longtime MPAA president Jack Valenti, it is the festival's highest honor and it will be given annually to an outstanding Italian-American who has made major contributions to the global motion picture industry.
Valenti's daughter Courtenay, executive vice president of production for Warner Bros. Pictures, will present the award to Pacino on February 17th during the festival's opening night ceremonies at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, where the 8th edition of L.A., Italia will take place from February 17th through the 23rd, the week preceding the Oscars®. The festival is produced by founder Pascal Vicedomini and chaired by Italian-American talent manager and film executive Rick Nicita, with producer Martha De Laurentiis serving as president and producer Mark Canton serving as honorary chair. Madalina Ghenea, the Italian-Romanian supermodel and actress, will be Mistress of Ceremonies.
Known for his forceful dramatic presentation, Al Pacino is most closely associated with the roles of Michael Corleone in The Godfather trilogy, as well as Tony Montana of the legendary gangster film Scarface. However, it was his performance as Frank Slade, a blind, retired Lt. Colonel, in Scent of a Woman that won him the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1993 and a supporting actor nomination in the same year for Glengarry Glen Ross. This came after seven previous Oscar nominations for The Godfather (1973), Serpico (1974), The Godfather: Part II (1975), Dog Day Afternoon (1976), And Justice For All (1980) and Dick Tracy (1990). Amongst his other awards are five Golden Globes, including the HFPA's Cecil B. DeMille Award (2001), the American Cinematheque Award (2005) and the American Film Institute's prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.
"One of the greatest actors in all of film history, Al Pacino established himself during one of film's greatest decades, the 1970s, and has become an enduring and iconic figure in the world of American movies," said Lina Wertmuller in making the announcement. "His commitment to acting as a profession and his constant screen dominance has established him as one of the movies' true legends. There is no one in the world more suitable and deserving to receive the first Jack Valenti Ð L.A., Italia Legend Award."
Festival chair Rick Nicita added: "The L.A., Italia Festival is twice blessed to have the honor of establishing the annual Jack Valenti award, and having an actor of the acclaim and artistry of Al Pacino accept it."
"Presenting the inaugural Jack Valenti – L.A., Italia Legend Award to Al Pacino is perfect for our festival given that its central mission is to honor the cinematic greats from both the U.S. and Italy," said honorary chair Mark Canton.
L.A., Italia 2013 will feature screenings of approximately 40 of the most acclaimed Italian contemporary movies, documentaries and video-concert performances, along with photographic exhibitions and conferences and artistic moments rich with content that will promote excellence in Italy's entertainment sector, fashion and tradition.
The Festival will include a tribute to director and producer Iginio Straffi, the creator of the phenomenal, highly popular animated characters Winx, as well as the upcoming movie "Gladiators of Rome 3D" which will be released in the USA later this year by Paramount. Italian music icon Zucchero will be feted at the Grammy Museum on February 21st and at the TCL Chinese 6 Theatres on the 22nd. Actor-director Michele Placido, who will have the US premiere of his recent thriller produced and shot in Frances Le Guetteur, will also be honored.
The official program will also include a celebration of the "Spaghetti Western" genre with the screening of several of the Italian films that inspired Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained. It will be attended by actors Franco Nero (the original Django who has a cameo in Tarantino's new movie), Giuliano Gemma (Arizona Colt) and some of the Italian and American actors who played gunmen in films helmed by visionary Italian directors back in the 70's. There will also be conferences at the University of Southern California and the presentation of select first and second movies from young Italian filmmakers.
Other Italian artists attending are directors Fausto Brizzi (with Claudia Zanella, one of the leading actress of his latest movie Crazy For Me), Tony Trupia (Itaker), Andrea Zaccariello, as well as the actress Marta Gastini (Dracula 3D).
L.A., Italia 2013 officially launches the West Coast celebration of the Italian government's "Year of Italian Culture in the USA" program. It is presented by the Istituto Capri nel Mondo in association with Eni, Rainbow Group and Cim Group, with the support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Economic Development and the Cinema Department of the Italian Ministry of Culture. Presenting partners also include the Italian General Consulate, the Italian Trade Commission, the Italian Institute of Culture in Los Angeles, TCL Chinese Theaters LLC, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, the University of Southern California (USC), and Cinecittˆ Studios.

Leather Trouser made in Knit
Added May 15, 2013
by Leila Breton
Indianapolis`, I...
Exciting project title, I know.
This pattern is meant for stretch leather but I wanted to try the pattern out first and plus I don't have much use for leather pants these days. Maybe one day. I used a ponte and followed all the instructions, adding all the zippers and the front welt zipper pockets.
I interfaced the welt pockets and the zippers with a knit interfacing. It was hard to get the welt pockets to stay put while I stitched the zipper in place. I got it after a couple of tries and glueing all the layers down so they wouldn't shift.
For more pics and info, see my "blog post": http://threedresses.org/2013/05/14/burda-trousers-in-motion/
