NORTHERN IRELAND: MI5's control over national security issues means covert operations are run by a "parallel police force"
Statewatch News Online, January 2013
Covert policing operations in Northern Ireland are effectively run by a "parallel police force" dominated by MI5 that is answerable to government ministers in London rather than domestic officials, according to a new report by the Committee on the Administration of Justice (CAJ). [1]
The report, The Policing You Don't See, argues that the role of MI5 in covert policing means that "perhaps the most sensitive area of policing" - encompassing communications interception, surveillance, the use of informants and undercover operations - "remains largely secret, under the direct political control of London ministers, and subject to very limited oversight."
Last week's publication of Demond de Silva's report into the 1989 murder of the lawyer Pat Finucance (which for many, including the Finucane family, CAJ, and Amnesty, fell far short of the independent inquiry they continue to demand) [2] brought back into the public eye a long history in Northern Ireland of abuse of power by the British state.
De Silva's report noted that of the three agencies running agents in the late 1980s in Northern Ireland - the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) Special Branch, the army's Force Research Unit (FRU) and the Security Service (MI5) - none had "recourse to any effective guidance or a proper framework." [3]
There was a "wilful and abject failure by successive governments to provide the clear policy and legal framework for agent-handling operations to take place effectively and within the law."
As noted in The Policing You Don't See, previous reports and inquiries have found that the free reign given to these agencies led to collusion with paramilitary forces, state agents operating outside the law, deliberately poor-record keeping and concealment of evidence, the obstruction of investigations and inquiries, no clear enforceable policies to regulate the activities of agents, and "the institutionalisation, primacy and power of 'counterinsurgency' type policing led by Royal Ulster Constabulary Special Branch, above normal police law enforcement."
Many of the same issues surrounding policing in Northern Ireland in the 1980s remain today, despite David Cameron last week attempting "to draw a line under the covert, often morally dubious, sometimes dirty war in Northern Ireland" during a House of Commons speech, when he noted that both the RUC Special Branch and FRU were "gone". [4]
According to Brian Gormally, director of CAJ:
"The Prime Minister claimed that things had changed by saying: 'FRU - Gone! RUC Special Branch - Gone!' He should have continued by saying: 'MI5 - In charge!'
"Because the reality is that MI5 - secret, unreformed and unaccountable - is now running one of the most sensitive areas of policing - covert national security… This is a disaster waiting to happen to confidence in the rule of law and our peace settlement." [5]
'Annex E'
The RUC was superseded by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) in 2001, but responsibility for covert policing has not been devolved - instead, it has been handed to MI5.
The St Andrews Agreement, which dealt with devolution of power from Britain to Northern Ireland, contained an Annex ('Annex E') addressing "future national security arrangements in Northern Ireland."
This confirmed that "lead responsibility" for national security would be formally passed to MI5 "in late 2007", saying that the agency would set "strategic direction" for PSNI work related to national security, and that "there will be no diminution in police accountability." [6]
The findings of CAJ demonstrate that accountability for covert policing policy and operations is either minimal or non-existent.
MI5 - secretive, unaccountable, and in control
During the time MI5 has been responsible for covert policing operations, a number of issues have arisen:
- Concerns over practices used to recruit informers
- The possible use of 'agent provocateurs': "In 2006 a series of fire bombings led to a prosecution which was then dropped on the day of the trial after prosecutors, without explanation, decided not to give evidence. The accused maintained he had been framed for the attacks by an MI5 agent who had actually carried out the firebombing campaign";
- The murder of Kieran Doherty: the Real IRA murdered Mr Doherty in 2009, stating he was a member of the organisation [and that he had been involved in cannabis cultivation]. His family have maintained he was set up by MI5, who had tried to recruit him as an informer, in order to protect someone else..."; [7]
- Concerns over the extent to which MI5 directs the use of emergency stop and search powers, under which individual reasonable suspicion is not required;
- Links with Special Forces units from the British army: "In 2009 the PSNI announced they were calling in the British Arm's Special Recognisance Regiment (SRR). However an earlier court case indicates the SRR were operating some time before this date and there have been claims that the SRR report to MI5 and not the PSNI."
In order to address issues regarding policy; compliance with human rights standards; personnel, staffing and structure; and accountability and control, CAJ recommends:
"A full review of the entire post-St Andrews arrangement. Such a review should be comprehensive, genuinely independent, and undertaken with a view to the reform of covert policing responsibility which will meet both the stipulations by the Patten Commission and international human rights standards."
Unkept promises
The Good Friday or Belfast Agreement, signed in 1998, promised policing that was:
"Fair and impartial, free from partisan political control; accountable, both under the law for its actions and to the community it serves; representative of the society it polices, and operates within a coherent and co-operative criminal justice system, which conforms with human rights norms."
However, according to CAJ, partisan policing continues, if a statement by former Chief Constable Hugh Orde's statement that "MI5 would focus only on dissident republicans" still holds true.
There is no way to tell whether MI5 is "representative of the society it polices," one of the changes that the Belfast Agreement promised to introduce - however, if it is the case that the agency only addresses paramilitary activity by republican groups and ignores that by loyalist groups, clear issues of equality and non-discrimination arise.
'National security' policing evades accountability and oversight
As for accountability, the secrecy surrounding MI5 means "it is not possible to asses" whether "the stipulations for intelligence services having a restricted role and the assurance MI5 would have 'no executive policing functions' have been met."
The agency is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act; the body overseeing its work (the Intelligence and Security Committee) does not report to parliament; and its "structural relationship with the PSNI remains complex and unclear. There are some indications that their primacy in 'national security policing' may lead to what is in practice tasking the PSNI in certain operational areas, as well as a potential relationship with the SRR [Special Reconnaisance Regiment, a British army unit]."
Even MI5's chief purpose - "the protection of national security" - is open to interpretation, due to a longstanding government policy "not to define the term, in order to retain the flexibility necessary to ensure that the use of the term can adapt to changing circumstances." [8]
Two documents unearthed by CAJ and detailed in The Policing You Don't See seem to contradict assurances from the British government that officers from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) working with MI5 "would be 'solely accountable' to the Chief Constable and Policing Board."
The first, a protocol sent from the Northern Ireland Office (The London-based department dealing with Northern Ireland) to a committee on the Northern Ireland Assembly (the devolved administration) states that PSNI functions dealing with national security remain the responsibility of the Secretary of State of the Northern Ireland Office, currently Conservative MP Theresa Villiers.
The protocol also says that:
- It is up to the UK government to determine which information on national security can be shared with the devolved Minister of Justice;
- Information on the modus operandi of MI5 and other agencies "will not be shared";
- Northern Ireland's Department of Justice will have no access to pre-devolution national security records;
- The Police and Prisoner Ombudsman must report any national security issues to the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland
- Panels judging police misconduct cases must defer to the UK government to decide whether the panel can access information relating to national security.
The second document is an undated Memorandum of Understanding on "National Security and the Policing Board", the body set up to oversee the work of the PSNI. It states that:
- Any questions from members of the Board that "indirectly touch upon national security" should not be answered if they would be damaging to national security interests;
- Questions to the Chief Constable from the Board relating to "past, present or future" national security should be referred to MI5 or the Northern Ireland Office;
- The Chief Constable must not divulge to the Policing Board "any information from or relating to MI5 without MI5's authority to do so."
Who is running policing in Northern Ireland?
There is no way to say under which rules and policies 'national security' policing in Northern Ireland is operating. "The transfer of powers to MI5 presently makes it impossible to determine the policy approach to covert policing and its compliance with human rights standards."
CAJ's report calls for covert policing in Northern Ireland to be undertaken within a human rights framework that meets international standards and the recommendations of the 1999 Patten Report. [9] This would require:
- Clear, published written policy on covert policing
- Developing a human rights culture within policing organisations
- Changes in personnel, structure and composition
- Oversight and control by democratically-accountable institutions
Their report concludes:
"How a society is policed is one of its defining characteristics. With the monopoly of the legal use of force comes the capacity to define a society based on repression and fear or one based on consensus and respect for the human rights of all. A human rights framework makes clear that those charged with implementing law are also subject to the law and that 'national security' is not a trump card that allows the rule of law to be set aside. The issue of policing has been a pivotal aspect of the violent political conflict Northern Ireland suffered and one of the most difficult elements of the peace process. If the transition to a peaceful society is our goal it is clear that such change will be hampered if past practices which caused the legitimacy of policing to be called into question are allowed to continue."

Academic Title: Associate Professor
Research Center: Center for Clinical and Translational Research
Carrie L. Heike, MD, MS, is an attending physician at Seattle Children's Hospital and associate professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. She completed her clinical fellowship in the Craniofacial Center at Seattle Children's Hospital in 2006. Her research focuses on the epidemiology of craniofacial conditions, clinical outcomes, and quality improvement.
Dr. Heike is currently a co-principal investigator on a multi-center study to investigate the etiology and clinical outcomes for individuals with craniofacial microsomia. She also has a special interest in working with children with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome and developed the Seattle Children's 22q Clinic in 2007. She is also using three-dimensional imaging to quantify the craniofacial variation in conditions that affect craniofacial structures.

Research includes whether genetic variation contributes to the development of craniofacial anomalies in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.
My current clinical research focuses on the investigation of the relationship between the genotype and phenotype in children with the 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. My clinical and research training in the Children's Craniofacial Center has provided me the opportunity to work with a number of children with the 22q11.2 deletion and observe the wide variability in clinical phenotype. Within this collaborative environment, I have worked with our multi-disciplinary team to generate hypotheses to further our understanding of the phenotypic variability in this patient-population. Our current research is designed to expand scientific understanding regarding the role of specific genetic variations in the development of craniofacial anomalies within this specific population. To accomplish this goal, we are applying novel methods to quantify the subtle facial features which are affected in some individuals with this condition. We are also resequencing genes in the TBX1 pathway to determine sequence variations that may contribute to the phenotypic variability. I also participate in research to use advanced technology further quantify the phenotypic features affected in other conditions that alter craniofacial features. Advances in the field of three-dimensional imaging combined with anthropometry now provide opportunities to obtain very objective and specific information in craniofacial features. Our ongoing work to characterize facial features in children with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome incorporates new methods that we hope will also be valuable in quantifying craniofacial variation in other conditions that affect craniofacial structures. We have enrolled over 200 participants in our Craniofacial Normative Database study, and we are developing novel techniques to quantify typical and atypical craniofacial variation. I work with collaborators at Seattle Children's Hospital, as well as in the Departments of Genome Sciences, Computer Science and Engineering, and Epidemiology at the University of Washington on these projects.

I love exploring Oregon's nooks and crannies. Since arriving here in 2007, I've fallen particularly hard for the Owyhee desert in the far reaches of Southeast Oregon, the rolling high hills surrounding the Deschutes River, and the magically blue waters of Crater Lake. I love camping and hiking but haven't yet become the toughened sort of Portlander who trudges out in the rainy season… so instead I spend the winter months sheltered inside our area's concert halls soaking up local culture.
I had once hoped to be a professional French horn player – I attended Northwestern University with that aspiration, but after I realized how much practicing would be involved I ended up graduating with a degree in Arts Administration instead! I still tootle, though… I play 4th horn for the Sunnyside Symphony Orchestra ( http://sunnysidesymphony.org ).

#Roommates, we are sad to report that Nigerian singer Alizee Nielsen and her 4-year-old daughter were tragically killed.
According to The Guardian , their bodies were found in their Banana Island home in Lagos yesterday, and Alizee's husband (a Danish citizen living in Nigeria) was arrested and accused of taking both of their lives.
Lagos State Police confirmed that he is now in police custody and an investigation has begun. "The state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, has ordered the arrest of the suspect and he is in police custody. It is pre-emptive now to ascertain the cause of the incident," public relations officer, SP Chike Oti, said in a statement. "The CP has dispatched crime scene investigators to the place to pick evidences for analysis which can be used for prosecution. The command has also written the Embassy of the suspect that the police are investigating the case."
Alizee was just 29 years old.
Her management, Petra Entertainment, released the following statement in response to the sad news:
"While we exercise restraint in making public comments on the circumstances surrounding the demise of Alizee and her daughter, – in order not to prejudices on-going police investigations – it has become important to correct some misinformation presently circulating in the media space. In this regard, we state that the husband of the late Nielsen Zainab Joy who is also the father of the late Nielsen Petra is Nielsen Peter Schau. Nielsen Peter Schau is a Danish citizen and not an Italian or Asian as has been reported by several media outlets."
"We call all law enforcement agencies to speedily unravel the circumstances surrounding the demise of these vibrant Nigerians and bring all complicit persons and/or entities to justice. In the light of reports suggesting that Alizee's husband may be under Police investigation in connection with these painful deaths, We particularly call on the Nigerian immigration Services to remain vigilant at this time and urge the cooperation of all foreign missions in the country. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the relatives of the late Zainab and Petra."

Records: Police officer choked victim
Records: Police officer choked victim
CHARLES CITY, Iowa —
Court records say a police officer in northern Iowa choked a victim.
The Mason City Globe Gazette reports James Gray Jr. is accused of child endangerment in connection with a Thursday incident. He was arrested Friday.
Floyd County District Court records say Gray threw his victim onto a bed and choked him, leaving a red mark on the victim's neck and under his left eye. It's unclear the victim's age or how Gray knows him.
The 43-year-old Gray is a Nora Springs police officer and was off duty at the time. He is being held at the Floyd County Jail on $5,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is set for early February.
No decision has been made about Gray's employment status. Online records do not list an attorney for him.

Karen Armstrong, the author of The Great Transformation (2005), A Short History of Myth (2005)and Spiral Staircase (2004), The Battle for God (2000) and A History of God (1994), among other books, has referred to the issue of an afterlife as a red herringsomething that distracts attention from more important questions. During a recent interview with Salon.com (Going Beyond God, 5/30), the former Catholic sister, who is severely critical of religious life as she knew it, said that regarding an afterlife she prefers to be agnostic.
The religions say you can experience eternity in this life, here and now, by getting those moments of ecstasy when time ceases to be a constraint, she said. And you do it by the exercise of the Golden Rule and by compassion. And just endless speculation about the next world is depriving you of a great experience in this one.
How does a Catholic respond to Ms. Armstrong's position?
Where Armstrong Gets It Right
Karen Armstrong makes several positive points, each of which prompts a rejoinder. First, Zen Buddhism, for example, is good at reminding us that all we have is the present moment. True, but the present moment does not preclude thinking about the future. Some of the most intense, important and creative times in life are moments when plans for the future are being hatched.
Second, Ms. Armstrong is correct in saying that people who get caught up in speculation about the afterlife might be obsessing. But how many people do that? Is she not fighting a straw man? Or is shethis is what I'm afraid ofdismissing even those of us who, while not obsessing, do from time to time wonder what the great mystery ahead of us might be like? I make no apology for being such a wonderer. Not to wonder strikes me as strange.
Third, as Karen Armstrong says, our first concern should be to follow the Golden Rule and practice compassion. What Christian would disagree with that? But it is quite another thing to claim that religion should restrict itself to ethics and never get around to metaphysics. There is plenty of room and time for both, and most serious Christians consider both.
Fourth, it is true that the world religions refer to and recommend practices that can lead to union with the divine and to mystical ecstasy, as Ms. Armstrong points out. Yet such experiences, with rare exceptions, are available only to those who make religion the focus of their lives. Don't speak of such ecstasy to the Bolivian peasant hoeing his cassava or to the American stockbroker who barely manages to get herself and her child to church every other Sunday. As the Buddha rightly said, most of life is unsatisfactory. Like many Christians, I rejoice in the traditional belief in life after death because I find myself somewhat unfulfilled in this life. Those who claim to be indifferent to eternal life might not have taken the time to consider what it means to be extinctor more particularly, for them to be extinct.
On the Other Hand
But an informed intellectual need not be, as Karen Armstrong declares she is, an agnostic regarding life after death. That view overlooks a massive amount of evidence that points to a personal afterlife. Descriptions by doctors and psychologists about near-death experiences, books written by hospice personnel about the extraordinary visions commonly reported by dying people who are not doped up with painkillers, and other phenomena classed as paranormalall these point to a mysterious dimension that exists beyond our everyday experience. One need not be a religious believer to appreciate and weigh this evidence.
Armstrong's views aside, the question remains: How much importance should Christians assign to the afterlife? As a young man at a party, I once shocked my friends with the question, What do you guys think happens after death? As an older man who works in a university, I find the subject avoided even in a religious studies department. The topic seems to be in disrepute. We can talk about God; we can talk about ethics all day long; but the one subject that should most concern usbecause everything else ultimately rests on itis off limits among the smarter set. Belief in life after death may be acceptable, but it is better not to talk about it, not to admit it. It is unsavory!
Why? Among many people who think of themselves as well informed, the materialist assumptions of the physical sciences color almost everything. And since an afterlife is immaterial, at least in the way science understands matter, my colleagues are loath to admit they believe in it, even if they do. Among them are two Catholics in the biology department, one a longtime friend of mine. He deflects every attempt by prying students to learn whether he is a man of faith; in fact, he implies that he is not. This is a man who loves his religion but is afraid to admit it. He does not want to look foolish or disreputable.
C. S. Lewis wrote in Mere Christianity (1943): It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this. This is a claim that modern Christians need to ponder. Alongside Christianity's profound commitment to enjoying and improving the world we live in now, there is an unabashedly bold affirmation of a better world to follow. Skeptics think the two cannot coexist, or at least that they work at cross-purposes. Catholic tradition wisely has taught otherwise.

Weight loss surgery requires serious consideration and a long-term commitment to a major change in lifestyle. Patients should realize that they — and their family and friends — must be prepared to adjust to a substantial reduction in their weight as well as drastic changes in their lifestyle.
This is where the bariatric surgery support groups and services at Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC provide results.
Our surgeons treat bariatric patients by using the combined expertise of many health care professionals. They work closely with registered dietitians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and physical therapists to meet your individual needs.
Our surgeons help patients through the evaluation and approval process required by medical insurers. They will also help to transition your care to other areas after surgery, which may include plastic surgery through the UPMC Life After Weight Loss Program, or joint replacement surgery.
Bariatric surgery support groups are open to all patients and family members pursuing bariatric surgery, or who have already had a bariatric, gastric bypass or adjustable gastric band procedure.

What an interesting approach to Bible study......guess being a bible and gun toting Patriot is a big target market now....you all may recall Obama elitist comment:
"Obama was caught in an uncharacteristic moment of loose language. Referring to working-class voters in old industrial towns decimated by job losses, the presidential hopeful said: "They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
"Obama's comments are potentially incendiary in the Pennsylvania rust belt."
https://ww2.micahtek.com/nexolive/nShop ... N=26011569
The AMERICAN'S PATRIOT'S BIBLE connects the teachings of the Bible, the history of the United States, and the life of every American. Beautiful full-color insert pages spotlight the people and events that demonstrate the godly qualities that have made America great.
What Bible do you use? Ever hear of the Strongs Concordance the Bible dictionary, or How about the Greens Interlinear Bible... Who do you study with? What do you believe is heresy today that is taught as legitimate ie... RAPTURE etc...

A Derry man pleads innocent to falsely claiming a master electrician licenseStaff Report
April 15. 2014 11:47PM
MANCHESTER — A Derry man who operates Dr. Home Service Electric pleaded innocent Tuesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to a misdemeanor alleging a violation of electrician license regulations.
Henry T. Pratte, 54, of 32 Old Chester Road, is accused of using the number of a licensed electrician on his website without permission.
Court documents show police allege Pratte used a former employee's master electrician license number on his website "with an apparent purpose to deceive," representing himself as a licensed electrician. The documents also show Pratte surrendered his own journeyman license as part of a settlement agreement with the state electricians board in 2002.
Bail was continued at $1,000 personal recognizance, with conditions that include no contact with the license holder. Trial was set for May 20.
Trial set for April 29
Derek Gagne, 24, of 541 Bartlett St., who failed to appear in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division April 7 for arraignment on a felony drug charge and misdemeanors of theft by unauthorized taking and resisting arrest, was arraigned Tuesday after being arrested on a bench warrant.
He is accused of having suboxone in his possession when arrested March 12 near Home Depot, 129 March Ave., where he allegedly stole a hammer and a set of hex tools, valued at $60. The resisting arrest charge stems from Gagne walking away from Officer Scott Ardita, who had told him to stop, police said.Gagne had also failed to appear in Circuit Court Nov. 6, 2013, for a deferred sentence hearing on a mischief conviction. A probable cause hearing was set for April 29 on the felony. Trial on the misdemeanors and the deferred sentence hearing were scheduled for May 20.
Bail is $4,000 cash/surety, with conditions that include not returning to Home Depot.
Says he doesn't have a gun
Shane Duhaime, 43, of 25 Laval St., pleaded innocent Tuesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division to misdemeanor charges of simple assault and criminal threatening.
Duhaime is accused of chest bumping his girlfriend and telling her he was going to get a .45 caliber revolver and "blow her away."
Duhaime told Judge William Lyons that he doesn't own a gun, and he wasn't going to get one from a friend.
A police prosecutor requested $1,000 cash/surety bail, noting Duhaime was convicted of resisting arrest a year ago and has previous convictions for driving while intoxicated and disorderly conduct.
Lyons set bail at $750 cash/surety, with conditions barring contact with the alleged victim and barring him from her residence. He must also comply with the police department's booking process before being released. Trial was set for May 15.
She's having my child
A man accused of violating a domestic violence protective order by calling his ex-girlfriend Tuesday told a Circuit Court-Manchester District Division judge: "(She) is actually having my child."
David Bivens, 34, of 1991 Bodwell Road, pleaded innocent to the misdemeanor charge that alleges he called the woman and spoke with her, despite a protective order that is in effect through March 2015.
Police prosecutor Carrissa Pelletier requested a $3,000 cash/surety bail for Bivens, who has convictions for second-offense operating after suspension and aggravated driving while intoxicated.
Judge William Lyons reduced the bail amount to $2,000 cash/surety, with conditions barring contact with the woman and barring him from her residence. Trial was set for May 15.
Arraigned in felony thefts
Jason Morrissey, who was wanted on outstanding police warrants, was stopped in the area of Hanover Street and Mammoth Road.
Morrissey was also charged with operating after suspension as a habitual offender for driving and disobeying a police officer for giving his brother's name when stopping.
Morrissey, 28, of 198 Grove St., was arraigned Tuesday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on felony charges of theft by unauthorized taking and receiving stolen property in connection with the pawning of gaming system and video games reported stolen from a vehicle parked at a restaurant on South Willow Street on Feb. 8 and sold at Gamestop in the Mall of New Hampshire. The charges are felonies because they are the third such charge.
There was also a misdemeanor criminal trespass charge in connection with Morrissey being in the mall. He had been trespassed from the mall in 2010 in an agreement that barred him from the mall through 2015.
A police prosecutor requested $3,000 cash/surety bail for Morrissey, noting he has pending cases in Merrimack and Hillsborough county superior courts. A probable cause hearing on the felonies was set for April 29, and trial on the misdemeanors was set for May 15.
Requests to go to rehab
Jeffrey Hall, 26, of 494 Wilson St., could enter no plea to a felony charge of possession of a narcotic. He pleaded innocent to a contempt charge that alleges he committed a new crime while out on bail on a theft charge.
Police Officer Brian Gillotte stopped Hall Monday as Hall was walking in the area of Hanover and Lincoln streets, carrying a flat screen television set concealed in a plastic bag.
During the course of the investigation, Hall was found in possession of a small amount of heroin. He was also charged with contempt because he was out on personal recognizance bail on the theft charge. He had also failed to appear in court in January on an October 2013 criminal trespass charge.
A police prosecutor, noting Hall was convicted of assault last year and criminal threatening in 2011, requested $2,000 cash/surety bail on the new charges.
Hall told Judge William Lyons that he's ready to get off drugs, saying: "I've been on drugs for six or seven years." Hall said his father overdosed, his girlfriend is in prison because of them, and he's ready for rehab. If he could be slid right into rehab, he said, he would like personal recognizance bail. Otherwise, said Hall, he had no problem with the $2,000 cash/surety bail. Trial was set for May 15.

Honestly, a good school with great resources. I have access to any of the local school's libraries and can take any of their classes (I.e, Wentworth, MassArt, Northeastern). The only thing that is an everyday struggle is the technology, where everyone has a mac and works on it, and the hardware at the school constantly has issues.Read More

Beware of overtraining mate, IMHO you should be taking at least a week off every 3 months - 3 days is nothing. Same as only having 5 scheduled rest days in a month. Even 'enhanced' lifters would struggle with optimal recovery, muscular adaptation etc not to mention the hammering our CNS gets from consistent hard training.

06 Increment Operator Commenting
Created on: 28 September 2014 | Updated on: 23 January 2017
Part 6 of the Arduino Programming Course
The increment operator is an Arduino arithmetic operator that is used to increment an integer variable by a value of one. We look at how to use the increment operator in this part of the Arduino programming course.
Comments in programming are notes that are written in a program (or sketch) by the programmer. These notes are used to explain what the code is doing, or to add other useful human readable information to the code. How, when and why to use comments are explained at the end of this part of the course.
The Arduino increment operator is used to increase the value that a variable holds by one. This is useful in certain types of loops as will be shown later in this course.
The example below shows the increment operator being used to increment a value several times.
The output of the sketch in the Arduino serial monitor window is shown here.
In the above example, the variable count is defined and initialized to a value of 0 (zero).count
It is important to initialize this variable before using the increment operator because if it is not initialized, it can contain any random value. Here we initialize it to 0, but could have used any other integer value.
Serial.println() is used to print the value of count , but in the same statement, the increment operator ( ++ ) is used to increase the value that the count variable holds.Serial.println()
The increment operation causes the value in count to increase from 0 to 1.

, attempts to open the path for hospitality practice in the classroom, making a strong argument for educational use and offering an initial map of the territory for teachers and authors.
Hospitality is a social and ethical relationship not only between host and guest but also between writer and reader or teacher and student. Hospitality initiates, maintains, and completes acts of authoring. This extended essay explores the ways that a true hospitable classroom community can be transformed through assigned reading, one-on-one conferencing, interpretation, syllabus, reading journals, topic choice, literacy narrative, writing centers, program administration, teacher training, and many other passing habitations.
Hospitality and Authoring strives to offer a few possibilities of change to help make college an institution where singular students and singular teachers create a room to learn with room to learn.Reviews

Today Sprint announced that on January 30th they will increase their postpaid rates by applying a $10 per month Premium Data add-on charge to activations of smartphones. Sprint defines smartphones as devices with "robust operating systems that deliver a rich wireless experience by bringing the full function of mobile applications and programs to life, including Blackberry, Android, Windows Mobile, Palm, and the Instinct family of devices."
The $10 Premium Data fee was first introduced with the launch of the EVO 4G and many blogs started calling it the "4G fee", but now it will apply to all Android phones – both 3G and 4G. Sprint claims that smartphone users consume 10 times more data than normal feature phone users and the extra $10 fee is needed to "ensure customers continue to enjoy unlimited data while on the Sprint Network, without overages."
Existing Sprint customers will be grandfathered in and keep their current rates until they activate another smartphone or upgrade their plan.
"Sprint wants its customers to experience the range of entertainment and productivity possibilities available with today's wireless technology," said Bob H. Johnson, president of Sprint's consumer business. "While some of our competitors impose overage charges and complex plans, Sprint continues to provide a worry-free, unlimited data experience while on the Sprint network. This is responsible, sustainable and reflects our commitment to simplicity and value."
Even with the added cost, Sprint still advertises that they have the best smartphone plans in the industry. For only $79 per month, Sprint offers unlimited calling to any mobile number, unlimited texting, and unlimited internet.
If you are on Sprint, we would love to hear what you think about these new changes. Are you ok with an extra $10 fee each month in exchange for unlimited data on the Sprint network?
Key Points from Sprint's announcement include:
- Smartphone customers on average consume an estimated 10 times more data than customers who use feature phones.
- Worldwide, mobile data traffic is forecast to more than double each year through 2014.
- Instead of limits and overage charges on data plans for wireless phones as competitors have done, Sprint is applying its $10 Premium Data add-on charge to all smartphone activations beginning Jan. 30, 2011.
- Existing Sprint smartphone customers are not affected unless they upgrade to or activate another smartphone.
- Sprint defines smartphones as devices with robust operating systems bringing the full function of mobile applications and programs to life including Blackberry, Android, Windows Mobile, Palm, and the Instinct family of devices.
- While the $10 Premium Data add-on charge previously only applied to 3G/4G devices, it was never simply a charge for 4G. The charge has always been to address the increased costs associated with operating phones that offer a richer data experience on Sprint's network.
- We're still one of the best values in Wireless. See the comparison chart.

One thing I love about noodles is their versatility, which is another way of saying: there's never a bad time to have them. Sometimes you just need to mix the other ingredients up to fit the occasion. While a deep and rich bowl of something like ramen soothes the soul on a blistery cold winter day, a bowl of chilled noodles sounds immediately appealing on a sweltering, sun-drenched one.
Takashi Yagihashi—chef of Chicago's Slurping Turtle and Takashi, and author of Takashi's Noodles—knows this. So he combines slippery strands of somen noodles with crunchy fresh vegetables and a citrusy ponzu sauce. You could find fresh yuzu juice and make your own ponzu, but luckily most Asian grocery stores should have a prepared version available ready to go, making this recipe a breeze to put together.
Why I Picked This Recipe: It was hot, and Yagihashi described this recipe as "perfect for summertime: cooling, crunchy, and fresh tasting." Actually, he was just talking about the combination of daikon and cucumber, but considering everything besides the salmon was cool, I looked forward to something refreshing to combat the hot weather.
What Worked: And that's exactly what this recipe does. Though they remained distinct, the noodles sucked up the unique citrus profile of the ponzu (which I was able to find at my local Asian market), while the tomatoes added an extra bit of acidity. The crunchy diced daikon and cucumber acted as a nice textural counterpoint to the slippery, smooth noodles.
What Didn't: The salmon doesn't get much love here, since it's just sprinkled with salt and pepper and tossed on the grill. I mean, it's still tasty, but a marinade might have brought the whole thing together. As it stands, just about any protein could be used here.
Suggested Tweaks: This recipe is all about not working too hard, so any tweaks should be shortcuts. Yagihashi claims that a good canned salmon could be used. Leftover roast chicken would probably also work.

Getting a grip on yourself
One of these days we are all going to be so connected that on a dark night it could be difficult discovering whether you are you or somebody else lurking on the other side of the planet.
The networks are growing apace. Cisco, for instance, has built a router capable of handling 92 terabits of data per second, enough to deliver 20Mbps to every home in Australia, or download the entire contents of the US Library of Congress in 4.2 seconds.
But do not panic. Your front room is not about to become clogged with a lot of books you don't want to read. Until we get fibre to the Australian home, it's just a dream. Telstra and the other telcos have to get weaving the fibre, but the technology to take advantage of it is already there. Personally, I cannot wait for video on demand or even, way in the future, a telecast hologram of my Great Aunt Maude as she harangues me by camera phone from her base camp in Bhutan.
But how does an ordinary mortal take advantage of the kind of networks we have now? Answer: download iSync 1.5, install it on your Mac, and prepare to know all about your work, social and family schedules, wherever you happen to be.
Surprisingly, many Mac users have yet to employ iSync to the full extent of its power, or even use it at all. Electronic Xanadu awaits them. For instance, with iSync to help, no longer will you arrive, ashen-faced, having forgotten to bring home the bacon, or whatever else it was that the Minister for Home Affairs requested as you left in the morning: iSync will have put your note to yourself, along with an alarm if you wish, on to your PDA, your mobile phone, your PC and your .Mac website.
If you use an iPod, a mobile phone and a PDA such as a Palm, iSync makes sure all devices have your data, using calendar application iCal and Address Book, both free with Mac OS X, as the databases. You can include multiple Macs, anywhere on the net.
The .Mac side of things is great. Even if your phone battery is flat and your PDA is in the car, you can nip into an internet cafe or use your office PC to log into your .Mac account and see your updated iCal schedule.
Your mobile phone needs to have Bluetooth. Danny Gorog, an iSync maven and one of the principals at the Digital Survival Mac training centre in Melbourne, says Apple is pretty good at keeping up with Nokia, Ericsson and other phones but advises checking the list at www.apple.com/isync if, for instance, you are buying a new phone.
"iSync works well but has some problems with smart phones like the Sony Ericsson P900," Gorog says. "If you are a road warrior and have a P900 (or any other Bluetooth Mac compatible phone) it is worth downloading a program called Sailing Clicker.
"With it, your phone becomes a remote control for your computer, giving control over PowerPoint or Keynote presentations, or the ability to browse music through iTunes and photographs in iPhoto," Gorog says.
Sailing Clicker also makes syncing more reliable and increases the speed of HotSync on Palm devices.
"To set up Sailing Clicker, make sure you go to the system preferences and select Sailing Clicker from the Other section. In the preferences you will be able to edit how often sync happens and also set up custom sync modes," he says. "You can also add custom scripts that add functionality to your connection."
"But the feature I love is Sailing Clicker's ability to mute iTunes or stop the DVD player when my phone rings. As soon as the call ends, iTunes resumes playing. Very handy," Gorog says.
iSync works well with my Palm Tungsten. You need to download the iSync Palm Conduit from www.apple.com/isync and use the Palm Hotsync manager to enable it.
Tiger, the next version of Mac OS X, will have iSync built in. This will make getting all your stuff into a nice orderly heap even easier.
iPod-led boom
Apple more than doubled its profit in its fourth fiscal quarter just finished, owing in good part to the runaway success of the iPod.
Reporting results last week, chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer said net profit for the quarter was $US106 million ($A146 million), compared with $US44 million a year ago. Revenue was up 37 per cent to $US2.35 billion. The company shipped 836,000 Macs (desktop and portable), a 6 per cent increase, and a staggering 2,016,000 iPods, in the three months, a five-fold increase on year-ago figures.
Fuelled by such success, the iPod rumour mills are still running hot. Adding to the flash memory iPod rumour are suggestions a 60GB iPod with a 2-inch colour screen is on the way, capable of storing and showing iPhotos, maybe due before Christmas.
Supporting the speculation is Toshiba's recent release of an 1.8-inch 60GB hard disk drive. Toshiba makes the drives for the big iPods, Hitachi the 1-inch drive for iPod minis.
The colour screen rumour has renewed thoughts that a video iPod is in the wings, a move denied by Apple so far.
Apple has sold more than 4 million iPods.
If you have any queries about Macs, contact Garry Barker at firstname.lastname@example.com

Hi, Welcome to my page on Artflakes - thanks for looking! I am a part-time professional photographer. I don't specialise in any particular subject matter with my photography, but try my very best to see beauty in as many things as I can. I'm often drawn to the finer details in my work, so while not shooting a particular subject, I guess my style would be described as intimate! I really hope you enjoy my photography! Cheers, Neil.

For flue-cured tobacco growers, the off-season was one of excitement and promise. A number of potential customers — most notably China — expressed interest in increased purchases of their product.
So even though the prices at the 2005 flue-cured auctions — the first since the quota buyout ended the price support program — were less than expected, the flue-cured growers' cooperative in Raleigh N.C., felt it could gear up for the 2006 season with some optimism.
And it did. In June, the Flue Cured Tobacco Cooperative of Raleigh raised the advance rate on grades for which advances are provided by two cents a pound. Though some grades — such as nondescript and poor quality grades — are not eligible for advances, this adjustment by the cooperative was in effect an increase in the overall price.
"The increase in the advance rate will help the farmer cover expenses that he has incurred by that time," said Albert Johnson of Gallivant's Ferry, S.C., the farmer-president of the organization. "We all know what is happening with diesel fuel, natural gas, LP gas and gasoline prices."
Also, said Johnson, some changes were needed in the way the cooperative accepts the tobacco from the grower.
"This year he will bring the tobacco in, and it will be graded," Johnson said. "If his tobacco meets the advance grades, we will cut him a check right then. Last year it took two trips to get an advance. Now it will take only one."
In another indication that a good market is expected, the cooperative has also agreed to purchase tobacco this year from all stalk positions, unlike 2005, when it purchased only select grades.
These changes will apply only to farmers who have contracted to sell all their tobacco through the cooperative.
The changes were announced at the cooperative's annual meeting. And that involved another change: The meeting was held for the first time at the cooperative's factory, a short distance from Timberlake, N.C.
Everyone seemed to like the move.
"The people who hadn't seen the facility before were bowled over," said Arnold Hamm, general director of the cooperative. "It gave us a good chance to let our members see what we do."
After the meeting, farmers streamed through the manufacturing area seeing how cigarettes and other tobacco products are made there.
Cost was a factor in the cooperative's decision to move its meeting location. The meeting had traditionally been held in the Kerr Scott Building at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds in Raleigh, but the expense of renting that hall had gotten high.
"We were able to do it in Timberlake at a much lower cost," said Hamm. "I am sure we will be holding it here in Timberlake again in the future."
The location did not appear to keep anyone away. About 200 attended the meeting and that was actually more than the attendance the year before in Raleigh (although in some years past the crowd has approached 500.)
Though Timberlake is a bit off the beaten path — about five miles south of Roxboro and 20 miles north of Durham — it is easily accessible from US Highway 501. It can be located by a large blue sign on the highway bearing the name of the cooperative's subsidiary U.S. Flue-Cured Tobacco Growers Inc.
The meeting was a benchmark because it fell in the 60th year of the cooperative's existence and at the end of its first year of operation in a free market.
"There have been many challenges in the past 12 months in the transition from administering the price support program to becoming a value-added marketing cooperative," said Johnson in his address to members.
"We now have the facility to produce several value-added tobacco products, including consumer products. That translates to more income opportunities for members in the future."
Manufacturing holds great potential for the cooperative. It is already making cigarettes and little cigars on a contract basis for several different companies. Later this year it will begin manufacturing a roll-your-own product.
But for 2006, the bright spot is prospective sales of blended strips.
"The cooperative has secured large customers for un-manufactured tobacco strips, including the Peoples Republic of China," explained Johnson. Also, there have been "demands from international customers for a broader selection of grades."
In 2005, China purchased 6,177 MT of flue-cured from the cooperative. Counting flue-cured leaf from other American sources, they bought a total of about 8,000 MT of US flue cured, cooperative sources said.
Shipment of China's 2005 purchases from the cooperative were completed in March 2006. The tobacco was distributed to 17 of China's largest cigarette manufacturers.
China might need as much as 10,000 MT of US flue-cured when its buyers return in October, sources at the cooperative said.
In other news from the flue-cured cooperative there is the following:
About 50 million pounds of flue-cured have been contracted by the cooperative this season, said Hamm, up about 25 percent from 2005.
The number of market towns for 2006 will be down by two. Those eliminated are Oxford N.C., where the volume of tobacco available did not justify the expense of operation, and Wilson N.C., where no suitable warehouse was available.
The cooperative has entered into over 800 "exclusive" and about 700 "non-exclusive" marketing agreements with its members. Exclusive contracts are those in which the farmer promises to bring all his tobacco to the cooperative's auction warehouses and receives a price advance up to the agreed-upon amount. Non-exclusive contracts involve no price advance, but the farmer is not required to deliver any certain amount to the cooperative's warehouses or indeed any at all if he chooses not to.
A new seal has been designed and trademarked by the cooperative to serve as a guarantee that the flue-cured tobacco it sells has been produced entirely in America.
"If you see this symbol on a strip case, you will know it contains 100 percent U.S. flue-cured tobacco," said Mike Lynch, director of sales and marketing for the cooperative.
The seal shows a stylized tobacco plant in white on a red and blue background with USA in large blue letters underneath.
Two new members were elected to the board over the winter. Both are North Carolinians: Blythe Casey of Kinston N.C., and Richard Renegar of Harmony N.C.

Chemistry Department Fund
This fund provides money for special opportunities or extraordinary needs.
- Faculty and students can travel to a conference to present their research.
- Faculty can take part in a special opportunity to update their skills. Professors need to be aware of the latest developments in their field, so that they can pass this knowledge on to their students.
- The department can purchase special equipment, test materials, resources, or training modules to help our students attain success and achieve their goals.
These activities and others like them enrich our students immeasurably, enhancing the education they receive at UIS—but we could not do any of them without the discretionary money given to this fund.
Electrophysiology Lab
Electrophysiology is the study of the electrical properties of biological cells and tissues. In the new UIS electrophysiology lab, Dr. Stephen Johnson and his students will be studying the biological activity of venom components, known as toxins. Specifically, they will focus on the venom's ability to alter the electrical properties of neurons.This kind of research can help in the development of new drugs to treat neurological disease such as Parkinson's. You can help support this exciting research by giving to this fund.

Student Center
This facility was designed in 1909 by architect Hyman Witcover for the Congregation B'nai B'rith as their synagogue. Classified as an exotic revival building, it features stylistic motifs including keyhole arches, defining windows with arabesque patterns, intricately carved and corbelled detail and Moorish-style domes. The synagogue was decommissioned in 1970 and was used as the site of the Saint Andrews Independent Episcopal Church until 2002. SCAD acquired the building in 2003 and reopened it as the Student Center in 2006. Student Involvement, Service Opportunities for Students, United Student Forum, Inter-Club Council, Student Activities Council, and the Student Center Director's offices are located on the entry-level of the center. Also on the first floor is a coffee shop that serves freshly made Starbucks coffee, Odwalla fruit smoothies, fresh salads, soft drinks, juices, bottled water, muffins and more.

Idaho Falls Woman Sentenced for Medicaid Fraud
(Boise) - Diana J. Gifford, 28, of Idaho Falls, was sentenced today on two felony counts of Medicaid provider fraud, Attorney General Lawrence Wasden said. Seventh District Judge Dane H. Watkins, Jr. sentenced Gifford to two to five years in prison. The court suspended the prison sentence and ordered Gifford to serve 30 days in the county jail and five years probation. Gifford also must pay a $500 fine, perform 100 hours of community service and satisfactorily complete drug court.
The Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit filed a criminal complaint on November 10, 2011, charging Gifford with three counts of Medicaid provider fraud and one count of grand theft. On February 13, 2012, Gifford pleaded guilty to two counts of Medicaid provider fraud. Pursuant to a plea agreement, the state dismissed the remaining charges.
Medicaid paid Gifford, whose son is a Medicaid recipient, to drive him to medical appointments in Salt Lake City. In late 2007, she began billing Medicaid for trips that did not occur. Between September 2007 and May 2010, Gifford fraudulently billed and was paid by Medicaid for 422 fictitious trips between her home in Idaho Falls and medical providers in Salt Lake City. These false billings, for 168,800 miles that were not actually travelled, resulted in a $17,224 loss to Medicaid.
The court ordered Gifford to pay Idaho Medicaid $17,224 in restitution, along with $3,941.23 in pre-judgment interest. Gifford also must pay $317.75 for investigative costs.
"Fraud by Medicaid providers is a serious crime and a theft of the taxpayers' money," Attorney General Wasden said. "My office is committed to prosecuting Medicaid fraud, recovering the taxpayers' money and holding the criminals accountable."
The Department of Health and Welfare's Medicaid Program Integrity Unit conducted a preliminary investigation of the case and referred it to the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit for investigation and prosecution. The Attorney General served as special prosecutor at the request of the Bonneville County Prosecuting Attorney.
