The Department of Public Safety is responsible for the campus parking program, which includes the registration of all faculty, staff and student vehicles, and the enforcement of parking and traffic regulations.
CONCEPTParking permits are sold to eligible personnel and students presenting a valid KCC identification card. Registered students may purchase their permits in the Bursar office located in room A205. Vehicle documentation will be required. The issuance of parking permits constitutes revocable permission to park a vehicle in the On-campus or Manhattan Beach lot. They are issued with the understanding that neither Kingsborough Community College nor The City University of New York assumes any liability whatsoever for any damage to the vehicle; breaking or entering the vehicle; theft from the vehicle or from any other claim whatsoever with respect to said vehicle. The vehicle is brought onto the campus entirely at the owner's risk.The issuance of a parking permit does not guarantee a parking space, but does provide the permit holder with the opportunity to park in authorized areas when there are available parking spaces.
ELIGIBILITYFaculty & staff members are allowed to purchase an on campus parking permit upon presentation of a valid KCC identification card.
EXPIRATIONUpon presentation of the aforementioned documentation and payment of the prescribed fee, a college permit is issued for the exclusive use of that person until the expiration date indicated thereon or revocation by the college, whichever is earlier.
SURRENDERThe permit remains the property of the college and must be surrendered upon the demand of responsible college officials including, but not limited to deans, the Business Manager, the Director of Public Safety, Public Safety supervisors and Public Safety officers. Receipts will be issued to authorized permit holders upon confiscation.
REVOCATIONThe college reserves the right to revoke the permit in violation of regulations and subject to administrative action without refund of fee in all cases of unauthorized use and disqualification under the Traffic and Parking Regulations. If revoked, the permit issued must be returned to the Public Safety office.The right is also reserved to revoke the permit and refund the fee on a prorated basis for the time unused when, in the opinion of the college, college operating requirements so dictate.
PENALTIESThe permit, being the property of the college, is considered an official document within the purview of the New York State Penal Law. The college may elect to prosecute instances of misuse and/or tampering through the courts in lieu of or in addition to college disciplinary proceedings and administrative actions. Thefts of permits may be prosecuted under the Law, as well as under college procedures.Infractions of the Traffic and Parking Regulations will result in a warning/sticker. Continued violations will result in loss of parking privileges.
There is a replacement charge for any lost or stolen permit not accompanied by a police report.
Each person sold the use of a permit assumes the responsibility for safeguarding the permit and for reporting a missing/lost/stolen permit immediately to the Public Safety office. In the event the permit is lost the fee will not be refunded. However, upon filing the proper paperwork in the Public Safety office you will be permitted to purchase a replacement permit. If you do not wish to replace the permit, the loss must still be reported to the Public Safety office since the permit may be found and may be used by the finder to attempt entry to the campus. If the permit is recovered it will be returned to the original permit holder. If the permit was replaced, the replacement fee will be refunded and the permit holder will continue to use the replacement permit.
Furthermore, if there is no loss report filed, finding the permit in the possession of another will be taken as evidence that both the user and the original permit holder are in violation of regulations and subject to administrative action, legal action, or both.
In the event a permit is stolen, it must be reported by the owner to the Police Department and to the Public Safety office. Upon delivery of a Police Department Case Number, the subject will be issued a new permit upon payment of full face value. This payment is not intended as a punitive fee. It is not only the cost of clerical time in record alteration, there is posting the stolen number in the Public Safety booth, checking each entering number against the one posted, apprehending the user if one appears, as well as arrest and prosecution of the user. These precautions cannot be avoided regardless of their complexity and cost. We are obligated to protect the campus and once notified that a particular permit may be in the hands of an unauthorized person, we must attempt to intercept and to prosecute, when possible. These precautions are expensive and only partially, defrayed be the fee applied here.
DISPLAYParking permits must be visible at all times when a vehicle enters and parks on campus. The parking permit must be hung from the rearview mirror. Violation of this regulation may result in revocation of parking privileges.
TRANSFERABILITYPermits are issued for the use of a specific person and may not be transferred to, or used by, any other person. The owner of the permit may use it in any of their own vehicles. Violation of this regulation may result in revocation of parking privileges.
TRAFFIC REGULATIONSThe following regulations are intended to provide a safe environment for all pedestrians and motorists operating vehicles on the Kingsborough Community College campus.The rules and regulations stated herein are a part of the established regulations of Kingsborough Community College. Failure to adhere to the following rules and regulations may result in the revocation of campus driving/parking privileges.
1.Traffic Signals & Markings
A. All STOP and YIELD signs and all other regulatory or directional signs are to be observed. B. All drivers must yield the right-of way to pedestrians in crosswalks. C. No person shall alter, deface, damage, knock down or remove any control device, sign or signal.
2. Speed Restrictions
The campus speed limit is ten (10) miles per hour, except where conditions indicate a slower speed.
3. Reckless Driving
The term "reckless driving" shall be defined to include, but not limited to the following:A. Driving the automobile in a willful or negligent manner without having the car under control at a time when traffic conditions warrant and require a lower rate of speed and greater precaution to insure the safety of others.B. Backing into a parking space or driving out of a parking space in a negligent manner where under the circumstances the safety and property of other persons are endangered.C. Unnecessary and loud blowing of horns, except where it is necessary for the safety and security of the persons driving near the automobile.D. Do not drive over any sidewalk; this will lead to suspension or revocation of your parking privileges.
4. Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs
Anyone who operates a vehicle on college property while under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be subject to arrest and prosecution.
5. Emergency Vehicles
Drivers must yield the right-of-way to authorized emergency vehicles.
6. Accidents
The driver of any vehicle involved in an automobile accident on campus shall immediately stop such vehicle at the scene of such accident and notify Public Safety. If the accident involves a collision with an unattended vehicle, the driver shall immediately stop and notify Public Safety.
1. The parking and traffic regulations apply to motorcycles and bicycles in the same manner as they apply to other vehicles.2. Such vehicles will not be operated on sidewalks, walkways, lawn areas or other such areas or other areas not open to all vehicles. These vehicles will travel in the same traffic lanes and in the same direction in which automobiles travel.
NON COMPLIANCE WITH PARKING SIGNS OR RECKLESS DRIVING will result in severe consequences. Following the aforementioned regulations greatly assists the Office of Public Safety in its endeavor to provide adequate parking and a safe environment to the college community.

SACRAMENTO, California (Reuters) - California state senators, embarrassed by not being able to more harshly punish state legislators facing criminal charges, moved forward on Tuesday on a measure that would allow them to suspend their pay in the future.
Senate Democratic leader Darrell Steinberg introduced the measure in response to criticism that three senate Democrats suspended in March following a series of scandals have been able to collect their salaries while off the job.
"I will not seek to belabor the unfortunate genesis of this bill," Steinberg told the Senate Elections and Constitutional Amendments Committee, which passed it by a vote of 4-1. The bill, in the form of a constitutional amendment, must be passed by two-thirds of the legislature and voters before it can go into effect.
The bill's sole opposition came from Republican Senator Joel Anderson, who has called for the expulsion of the three senators, an action that would eliminate the need to change the law and would by its nature strip the three of their pay.
Anderson said he opposed the proposed constitutional amendment because it would grant more power to legislative leaders while leaving voters unserved in the districts where their representatives were stuck on leave.
The three suspended senators, Ron Calderon, Roderick Wright and Leland Yee, have faced criminal charges in a spate of ethics scandals that have damaged the public approval ratings of California lawmakers in general and cost Democrats a cherished two-thirds legislative majority in the Senate during an election year.
Wright was convicted in January of lying about living in a district he sought to represent, Calderon was indicted in February on corruption charges, and Yee was arrested in March on bribery and gun-trafficking conspiracy charges.
The Senate voted on March 28 to suspend the three with pay in a rebuke that, while unprecedented in state history, was criticized by Republicans as tantamount to a paid holiday for bad behavior.
Under the state constitution, the responsibility for lawmakers' salaries lies with the California Citizens Compensation Commission, which means that lawmakers cannot withhold pay from colleagues even if they are suspended, Steinberg said.
Even if the amendment passes, it will not affect the three senators currently under suspension, Steinberg said.

'Jeopardy!' champ Arthur Chu bows out
His controversial reign has come to an end.
I'll take "I'm going home with $297,200," Alex.
Jeopardy! champ Arthur Chu, whose all-over-the-board style angered many fans of the long-running game show, finally lost on Wednesday after an 11-game winning streak that saw him rack up nearly $300,000.
Chu came in third on Wednesday's show, finishing with zero dollars. He had $6,400 in winnings heading into Final Jeopardy, then bet it all on the question: "He was the last male monarch who had not previously been Prince of Wales."
Diana Peloquin of Ann Arbor, Mich., the day's big winner with $15,700, was the only contestant with the right answer -- George VI.
Chu took to Twitter on Wednesday to thank fans for their support:
"Thanks for all the love guys. Hard to be hurt by a loss I've known was coming since Nov but seeing others react makes it real again"
Divisive 'Jeopardy' contestant Arthur Chu returns to the popular quiz show on Monday to see if he can continue a win streak that has some in social media crying foul over his hyper-analytical style of play. (March 7) Video provided by AP Newslook
Later, Chu announced on Twitter that he'll be doing a Reddit Ask me Anything session on Thursday night:
"All right everyone after some hiccups the REAL ORIGINAL and UNCENSORED @arthur_affect will be doing a @RedditAMA tomorrow night!"
In a recent interview with USA TODAY, Chu, 30, explained the origins of his unorthodox strategy, which is rooted in game theory. He also said he hopes his Jeopardy! exposure amps up his career as a voiceover artist.
Chu's 11 wins ranks third in Jeopardy! history. All-time champ Ken Jennings won 74 straight times in 2004. (USA TODAY sportswriter Eddie Timanus won five straight times in 1999. He was the show's first blind contestant.)
In a final footnote, Chu took to YouTube on Wednesday night and posted a video of himself singing along to "Weird Al" Yankovich's 1984 parody hit I Lost on Jeopardy.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Doing a DIY or home repair, depending upon the component of the home you are working on, may need a little professional advice. If you haven't done much repair, but want to take the challenge, you should first find out the intricate details required for that particular repair.
Mold invasion
Window leaks
Drainpipe and gutter leaks
Appliance repair
Electrical work
If you call a plumber or electrician, for major electrical or plumbing repairs it is most definitely the best thing.
For things like mold invasion you can take a number of steps to inhibit this, if it's done properly you can eliminate it. Mold is a dangerous health hazard. You can remove it but must take additional steps to make sure it does not return. It is a good idea to get professional home repair advice before you attempt using any chemicals to eliminate mold. Window leaks can cause mold as well as rot.
The homeowner can fix drainpipe and gutter leaks easily. First of all, check the gutters, maybe they are full of debris, like fallen leaves etc. Clean them out and then see if there is still a leak, maybe they were just blocking the entryway for the water to escape. If the drainpipe itself has a hole that is easily replaced and you only need replace the one section. When you go to purchase your supplies speak with an experienced sales person for home repair advice.
Painting should be a great task for a homeowner. This is supposed to be one of the most relaxing repair jobs in the house. From choosing the paint to cleaning away tools and left over paint, you should make any painting project simple. With the correct tools and taking your time for intricate details such as edging, this is where you paint at the top of the wall close to the ceiling or around doors and windows. You don't really want to get paint on the ceiling or the door and window frames. You can either use painters tape, or just go slow and take your time, see just how steady your hand really is.
Once you take the appliance apart, if you can't get it back together you're sunk and you wish you 'd called a professional for some home repair advice before you started. It could end up costing you twice as much because the repair man has to put it all back together before he can find the problem.
It's a consistent theme, almost an axiom - the worse a chore or problem is, the higher amount of proposed solutions to handle it more successfully. For example - because mice are plentiful, carry disease, chew and destroy things, and in general scare a lot of the population, there are many attempts for a "better mouse trap."
Conversely, take something relatively pleasant, such as cutting fresh flowers out of your garden. There are not too many infomercials for the new, handy-dandy "Fresh Flower Harvester!
If asked, most homeowners would group cleaning gutters closer to the first example above. We will take a brief review of various types of gutter protection and point out strengths and weaknesses.
Rolled Screening
Rolls of mesh screening, whether plastic or thin metal, barely qualify being called gutter protection. In a nutshell, they are cheap - cheap price, cheap materials, and cheap results. This mesh usually won't tuck evenly under the gutter's lip, commonly resulting in large gaps of unprotected gutter. Worse, it almost immediately starts to warp (if plastic) or bend and rust (if metal) so that even more of the gutter becomes exposed. Additionally, the screens openings are so large that much small debris falls right through it. The gutters still need cleaning which is now a more difficult job due to the screening because of this. Since these rolls have no rigidity, they quickly cave into the gutter, actually creating more severe clogging. Frankly, just avoid covering your gutters with this material.
Plastic, Snap-In Gutter Screens
In the interim between cleanings, since they are flat and have jagged surface, debris tends to just sit on top of them. This results in much water overflow. These do not quite qualify as a half-measure as that gives them too much credit.
Convex Hinged Screens
Less common is another inexpensive screen solution - the convex hinged screen. These are usually made of a galvanized metal and come in sections of three to four feet. They are an arch shaped section of semi-rigid screen. The screen is very coarse, with the holes being much larger than the "non-holed" portion of the screen. This allows considerable debris to pass into the gutter. In an apparent concession to their limit capabilities, these screens come with a hinge that attaches to the gutter. The hinge allows for the screen to be lifted up easily for periodic (very periodic) cleaning. This quick access does provide an advantage over the snap-in screens in this one regard. The arched design creates it's own unique problems. At the junction of the pitched roof meeting the gutter, these screens arch back upward, creating a small valley for debris that is slowing coming off of the roof to get stopped. This debris has nowhere to go and just starts accumulating, creating a potential water dam very close to your exterior wall. Overall, we are once again looking a system with very many negatives and limited benefits.
Reverse Curve navigate here Covers
Patented in the early 1900s, there is nothing new about a metal or plastic cover over the top of the gutter that employs surface tension to direct water into the gutter. This approach was the start of serious, thought-out gutter protection systems that can yield more benefits than negatives. As ingenious as they are, they still do carry some significant shortcomings. With medium and low levels of rainwater flow, such systems will indeed direct water right around a cover over the top and right into the gutter. With heavy rains, it is common for the surface tension to break and the water to flow straight over the edge of the cover. This of course, defeats the entire purpose for having a gutter in the first place. You must be aware of the severity of rain encountered in your area when considering such a product. If you usually have just mild, light rains, then these systems might not overflow to often as described above.
One of the other shortcomings of these systems it in what follows the water right around the cover's curve and right into the gutter. If you have fir and pine needles, seed pods and other smaller types of debris, plan on much of it still ending up in your gutter. The difficulty is that with such covers, access to the interior is often either very complicated or impossible. Such systems often will try to accommodate for this by having very large downspouts to accommodate all the debris that still flows down the gutter. This can lead to underground clogs and if indeed the clog develops in the gutter itself, good luck in clearing it. With these systems, it is critical to know the environment around your house well - if it is void of needles and small debris and not subject to heavy rainfall, they can provide a good benefit.
Foam Inserts
Employing the principal of intentionally filtering the gutter and displacing the volume of the gutter's space with the filter's polypropylene material instead of debris, foam inserts are a more versatile method of gutter protection. Debris is prevented from occupying the gutter because they are already full with a very porous material.
Typically flat across the top and always a jagged surface due to the open cell design, debris can tend to get caught up and not rinse off as easily as if the top surface was smooth. While debris tends to dry out quickly when on top of the inserts (which helps much of it blow off,) some may stay. This results in the need to still periodically blow or clean off the tops of the inserts. This might not be as bad as it sounds as most roofs still require periodic blowing or cleaning for there own sake anyway. Additionally, cleaning off the tops of inserts is much faster and easier that cleaning the gutters themselves. A realistic set of expectations is critical to be most pleased with these systems.
Micromesh Screens
While structurally much different that inserts, micromesh screens employ one of the same primary principals as the inserts. They act to filter the water entering the gutter. Some are even used as first stage filters for water recovery systems. Their design helps address the most notable shortcoming of filters - basically the debris that has the potential to get caught up on the top of filters. Because the micromesh (in it's best presentation, mounted on top of a strong, anodized aluminum frame) is exceptionally smooth, the friction that keeps debris resting on top of foam filters doesn't exist. Additionally, the best of the micromesh screens do not mount flat but rather at an angle similar to the roofs pitch, thus allow much more if not all of the debris to slide or rinse off. Because of the unique structural properties of the stainless steel mesh, the water penetrability is exceptionally good, allowing of rain to flow through it in even the heaviest of rains.
Issues All Systems May Face
There are some issues that may pose problems for every gutter protection system. These issues are usually not a result of any specific inadequacy of the gutter protection but rather simply of the house's design or of unique environmental events.
Steep roof valleys, particularly if very long, can result in large amounts of water running down the roof at accelerated speeds. Often even unprotected gutters in such locations will experience water overshooting them in the heaviest of rains. The combination of the volume of roof field emptying into the valleys, the valley's length and the roof's pitch will determine whether this is a natural trouble spot regardless of gutter system.
A similar problem can occur when there is an over-sized roof field emptying into too little of a gutter. Often, when trying to balance a multitude of design needs, the functionality of the gutter system gets low priority by architects and house designers. Any gutter protection system installed in such areas is not at fault for overflow, as they can not be expected to magically increase gutter volume.
A good gutter protection system needs to be able to handle the small of amount of shingle granule that commonly trickles down over the years. However, when a roof is brand new, it on occasion may temporarily loose a little extra granule. When an old roof nears the point of failure and granules starts to come down at a grossly accelerated pace, much worst though is. When this occurs, no gutter protection system can be expected to shed all of the granule and sand-like material that comes down without experiencing some performance impediments.
If you take all of the pros and cons of these various systems into consideration along with the external environmental factors of your yard, you increase your chance of discovering the best "mouse trap" for your purposes. You may even walk away smelling like a freshly cut rose.

Working in physics: Life on the borders
Edward Barry describes a career at the sharp end of interdisciplinary research, and how a virus from the New York City sewers is helping shape our understanding of nanoscale self-assembly.
Interdisciplinary science has been a hot topic for more than a decade, with increasing numbers of researchers working on projects that do not fit into neat departmental boxes like "physics" or "biology". Yet despite this increased activity, the structures in place to support these interdisciplinary scientists – including research grants and training for PhD students – have sometimes lagged behind. One programme that aims to help fill this gap for students of biomedical, physical and computational sciences is the Interfaces Initiative, a joint project of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the US National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering. Physics World talked to a current Interfaces participant, Edward Barry, who is finishing his PhD in biology-related condensed-matter physics at Brandeis University in Massachusetts.
What attracted you to biophysics?
I became interested in biophysics-motivated research while working as a research assistant in Zvonimir Dogic's complex-fluids group at the Rowland Institute at Harvard University. I got plenty of hands-on experience in all of the projects the lab was working on, as well as other research at the institute. This was a great learning experience in general, and during invited talks at the institute and through collaborations with visiting scientists and researches in the Cambridge area, my interest in biological systems solidified. This interest carried on when we moved the lab to Brandeis University, where I began my PhD studies.
What does your research involve?
We study physics using various biological systems, including one particular virus, called the fd virus, that was originally discovered in the New York City sewer systems. The fd virus has a long, thin shape, making it ideal for studying hard, rod-like particles that repel each other. Indeed, such "filamentous" viruses have a long history of being used for this purpose. For example, experiments with the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) inspired the chemical physicist Lars Onsager to present his seminal theory describing the way in which suspensions of rod-like molecules can go from being randomly oriented to adopting a more ordered state in which the long axes of the rods, on average, align along a particular direction. Onsager's work on this isotropic-nematic liquid-crystalline phase transition laid the foundation for our understanding of liquid crystals, which are now common in the displays for TVs, computer screens and other electronic devices.
In our fd system, we can obtain large quantities of identical particles (1016) in a matter of days – a significant advantage over the TMV system, which takes months to grow. In our system, we simply grow litres of bacteria, infect them with the virus, and the next day we have enough of the virus to do experiments for weeks.
Due to the collective efforts of researchers over the past 20 years, the behaviour of suspensions of the fd virus has now been characterized in detail. These 880 nm long rod-like particles interact in suspension through hard-core repulsive interactions and undergo a phase transition into a "twisted" nematic phase as their concentration in the suspension increases. This transition is only qualitatively described in the original Onsager theory, as the viruses are not quite rigid rods but have a certain finite flexibility. However, we have been able to demonstrate that a mutant virus, known as fdY21M, is four times as rigid as the wild-type virus, and in 2009 we published a paper where we showed that its phase transition is described quantitatively by the original Onsager theory (see Soft Matter 5 2563).
What else can you do with these biological systems?
By adding a non-adsorbing polymer to suspensions of these rod-like particles we can also change the interaction potential between rods, thus allowing us to see how hard rods behave in the presence of some degree of attraction. The polymer introduces an attractive interaction between the rods via the depletion interaction. This occurs when the distance between the rods becomes less than the size of the polymer, such that the polymer can no longer fit between them.
When this happens, an imbalance in os_motic pressure forces the rods even closer together. When we studied this process, we were surprised to observe the formation of fluid-like 2D surfaces, known as monolayer membranes. These membranes have properties identical to those of lipid bilayers, which are the main constituents of the flat sheets that form a barrier around almost all living cells. In our system, the membranes can be quite large (hundreds of microns in diameter) and their existence seems to suggest a new unexplored and easily scalable mechanism for the self-assembly of 2D materials.
Another system we have used in our research uses bacterial flagella – the helical filaments that act as the rotor for bacterial movement. After removing the cell bodies, we can isolate these helical particles and create suspensions of pure helical rods. We have shown that these particles also undergo a concentration-dependent, first-order phase transition into a chiral, or "handed", liquid-crystalline state called the conical phase. These liquid crystals have interesting bulk chiral properties that are determined by the chirality of their constituent particles.
What are some of the challenges of doing interdisciplinary research?
One of the biggest hurdles stems from the different language that researchers use. It may seem trivial, but differences in scientific language, and understanding what different scientific terms mean and imply, is really important. This is most apparent at conferences or when attending scientific talks. On many occasions, a failure to understand certain biological terms and concepts has left me utterly and completely lost five minutes into a talk that might otherwise have been very interesting and informative.
How has support and training from the Interfaces Initiative helped you?
Above all else, it has enabled me to become more versed in the methods of biological research. With unique opportunities, both inside and outside of the classroom, this aspect of the programme, which is designed to educate and train, has been by far the greatest assistance I have received. For example, I recently won the Interfaces Scholar Award, which means I get to deliver three hour-long lectures to members of the quantitative-biology programme at Brandeis. Preparing lectures that are engaging and useful for postgraduate students, postdocs and professors working in different fields has certainly been a challenge, but opportunities like this really help strengthen the multidisciplinary dialogue.
What advice do you have for physics students interested in biology-related problems?
One of the most important things a physics undergraduate student or a recent graduate can do is get involved in research. Whether it is in a theory group or in the lab, many biological researchers can benefit from physicists' input and training. Designing optical tweezers, introducing improved methods in microscopy, or even programming simulations – these are just a few examples of the many opportunities for physicists and recent physics graduates.
Talk to researchers who are doing something that you find interesting. You can send them an e-mail or go and speak to them at a conference if they sparked your interest. One key thing to remember, though, is that in the end, no-one is going to come looking for you just because you have a degree in physics. However, your training as a physicist means you can offer different skills to someone with a degree in biology or chemistry, so use this to your advantage.
What do you plan to do next?
I expect to finish my PhD in the very near future, and I have begun looking for postdoc opportunities. I have always wanted to teach undergraduates and postgraduates while also conducting research in a university setting. However, I am also considering positions in industry. With a degree in quantitative biology and research experience at the interface between biological and physical science, I hope to find a position that is not restricted to purely physical science, such as working on solar energy or the design of photovoltaic systems.

Post subject: Why dark forces would want Diana dead
Lets consider why the NWO would want Diana dead. She was about to marry a Muslim, she has previously stated that if she re-married, she would like more children....this alone, is enough for the NWO to have her removed.
She had campaigned to have landmines banned...what would she have banned in the future, cluster bombs, DU munitions?
She was about to setup a rival court in Paris. This would have resulted in a perment UK/global press besed in Paris covering just this court...not very good for the Queen! Before she died, she was holidaying in the South of France with Dodi on daddies big boat. Could you imagine William and Harry returning from a holiday this summer with mummy and their half brothers and sisters, who are Muslim??
I have read that her assassination was a CIA plot in name. Lord Stevens received information pointing him in the direction of the CIA, Stevens also implies that MI6 was involved (Putney offices burgled) and that a team from MI6 was at the UK Embassy in Paris and that on the night in question, the Royal family was in direct contact with a RF employee in Paris.
I have read that pictures of Diana exist showing her as walking wounded...nowhere near death. Walking in the tunnel and sitting in the back of an open doored ambulance. It is also suggested that a "specialist" (CIA term) was waiting in the tunnel, he is the man who was "reported" leaning into the car window...he made sure that Dodi was dead by breaking his neck. The official plan was that Dodi was the principle target. Diana couldn`t marry a dead man. But the question of Diana being pregnant was an issue and the official plan had Diana having a "scrap" (obortion) in the ambulance, hence the staggering time taken to get to hospital.
At this point, the official plan is binned...Diana bleeds to death in a Paris side street. Who ordered this break from plan isn`t clear. Lord Stevens on GMTV really let the cat out of the bag. But I now doubt he`ll deliver the truth...it reminds me of John Stalker quiting over his excellent investigation over "shoot to kill". Stalker was selected to fail, but exceeded all expectation. My father pointed this out and said he`ll be forced to quit, and that was weeks prior to him quitting!
After her devorce from Charles, Diana made a trip to the US...almost an unofficial state visit. It was big in the US. It is "suggested" by some, that the plan was to have Diana remarry an Amerikan. The 3 potential candidates were Clinton, Bush and a Kennedy, who is now dead...all were married, this is the strange aspect of this "suggested" theory. When Diana met in private with Hilary Clinton, Hilary disclosed an act of deadly passion (alledged suicide by a Hilary lover still holding the GUN) which so disturbed Diana, that she fled back to the UK...this left the media in shock. The plan was to have Diana marry a well known Amerikan who would be followed by a vast media court. This would drag the UK toward the US and detach the UK from Europe. This theory is based on the idea that there are two rival factions which make up the NWO. Now I`m only recanting what I`ve read, and in no way is this made up by me. But I do believe the account of Diana`s assassination. The rest is a possible, you must remember, "fact is often much stranger than fiction"...9/11 and all that!

hi all,
Dian got divorce on 28 August 1996. The major reason is that in the late 1980s, the marriage of Diana and Charles fell apart, an event at first suppressed, then sensationalised, by the world media. Both the Prince and Princess of Wales allegedly spoke to the press through friends, each blaming the other for the marriage's demise. Charles resumed his old, pre-marital affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, while Diana had an affair with her riding instructor, James Hewitt.
So, the English Dark force don't like such things about their Price of Wales , hence may it is the reason for Diana dead.

I think it's pretty smple
1. she had evidence the royal family's ancestry was forged
2. the NWO didn't want William and Harry to have Muslim half-siblings
3. the land mines campaigning was showing up the royals as war mongers
4. she was more media-savvy and media-friendly (ie lied less) than the royals

Dian got separate on 28 August 1996. The real reason is that in the late 1980s, the marriage of Diana and Charles went to pieces, an occasion at the outset stifled, then sensationalized, by the world media. Both the Prince and Princess of Wales supposedly addresses the press through companions, every reprimanding the other for the marriage's death. Charles continued his old, premarital issue with Camilla Parker Bowles, while Diana had an unsanctioned romance with her riding educator, James Hewitt.
Thus, the English Dark power dislike such things about their Price of Wales , consequently might it is the purpose behind Diana dead.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday asked the Vatican to help win the release of an American contractor who has been in jail in Cuba since 2009.
Kerry, the first Catholic U.S. secretary of state in more than 30 years, stopped at the Vatican on his way to Kuwait to hold talks with Pope Francis' top aide, Secretary of State Archbishop Pietro Parolin.
The talks mostly centered on the Middle East and efforts to bring an end to the Syrian civil war ahead of a peace conference in Geneva later this month.
"We talked also about Cuba and the need for respect for freedom of religion and freedom of, and respect for, human rights," Kerry told reporters after the meeting.
"I raised the issue of Alan Gross and his captivity, and we hope very much that there might be able to be assistance with respect to that issue," he said.
Gross was sentenced to 15 years in prison for installing Internet networks for Cuban Jews in a U.S. program Cuba considers subversive.
His arrest in late 2009 and sentencing in March 2011 stalled a brief period of detente in U.S.-Cuba relations after President Barack Obama took office and quickly loosened restrictions on travel and remittances to the island for Cuban Americans with relatives in Communist-run Cuba.
The Vatican has relatively good diplomatic relations with Cuba. Former Pope Benedict and the late Pope John Paul both made major visits there.
The position held by Parolin, who will be elevated to the rank of cardinal next month, is the second most senior in the Vatican hierarchy after the pope and its holder is sometimes called the "deputy pope".
"We talked at great length on Syria. I was particularly appreciative for the archbishop's raising the issue and equally grateful for the Holy Father's comments ... yesterday regarding his support for the Geneva 2 process," Kerry told reporters.
Pope Francis called for renewed political will to end the conflict in Syria in an address to diplomats at the Vatican on Monday and said he hoped the Geneva 2 conference due on January 22 under U.N. auspices would be the start of a peace process.
Kerry said he briefed Parolin on the broader Middle East process between Israel and Palestinians.
"Obviously, there are issues of enormous concern to the Holy See, not just about peace, but also about the freedom of access for religious worship in Jerusalem for all religions, and appropriate resolution with respect to Jerusalem that respects that," Kerry said.
Israel captured East Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war and declared all of Jerusalem its "united and eternal capital" in 1980 in a move that has not won international recognition. Palestinians want East Jerusalem to be the capital of a state they seek to establish in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The Vatican wants any peace settlement to guarantee free access to all religious sites in the city, which is sacred to all Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
Kerry is the first Catholic U.S. Secretary of State since Edmund Muskie in the early 1980s and said the visit was very moving for him.
"On a personal level, it was a thrill for me ... as an altar boy, as a young kid, I would never have imagined that I would have been crossing the threshold of the Vatican to meet, as Secretary of State, with the Secretary of State of the Holy See," he said.

Robbie won't stand in Leo's shadow
Margot Robbie has spoken about how she shocked Leonardo DiCaprio by asking him to stop blocking her light during filming.
The Australian actress stars as Leo's on-screen wife in The Wolf Of Wall Street and admitted she had had to pull him up on casting a shadow over her face on set.
She said: "Everyone made it sound like it was a really horrible interaction - it wasn't, it was just a really funny moment where [the crew] were trying to figure out how to get a shadow off my face and I knew that it was being created by his head, so I just moved it out of my light."
Asked if she thought it was the first time in a while that had happened to the Great Gatsby star, Margot said: "I think it was, because he was so incredulous. He said, 'did you just move me out of your light?' I was like, 'well yeah, you're putting a shadow on my face'."
But the former Neighbours actress admitted she wasn't always full of confidence on set with the star.
Despite her many nude scenes in the film, she said being naked wasn't the biggest challenge: "For me, the biggest challenge was walking onto such a huge set, such a fast-paced, chaotic set with arguably the biggest director and biggest actor of our generation, and playing a character that has the biggest personality and all the confidence in the world, when you feel like you have no confidence at all.
"You feel this big amongst those people, but you have to act like you rule the room that you walk into."
She said of her character, Naomi Lapaglia: "I loved her, she's a tough cookie, she's a bad a**, so it was really fun, but it's very hard to feel that utter conviction in yourself, that was a massive challenge."
The Wolf Of Wall Street is released on January 17.

Java Virtual Machine specialist Azul Systems has released jHiccup, an open source tool designed to measure the pauses and stalls (or "hiccups") associated with an application's underlying Java runtime platform. The company's new release could be timely; with Christmas and the holiday season just around the corner, many online retail apps will be using server-based Java Runtime Environments — and the retailers operating them will want to avoid any potential hiccups or interruptions in performance.
The new tool captures the aggregate effects of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), operating system, hypervisor (if used), and hardware on application stalls and response time. In practical terms, jHiccup allows developers and performance engineers to create and analyze response time profiles. This in turn will help identify whether causes of application delays reside in the application code or in the underlying runtime platform itself.
Pure as the Christmas snow, jHiccup is "completely transparent" and non-intrusive to the application, has zero performance overhead in operation, and is compatible with all Java applications using any JVM.
"Application performance is only as consistent as the underlying runtime platform," said Gil Tene, CTO at Azul Systems. "Java developers and IT organizations need easy-to-use tools that measure responsiveness at the JVM level and below to properly characterize the inherent runtime platform hiccups and execution stalls. This data is critical to allow developers to focus on the right parts of the runtime stack to improve the performance consistency and reduce the latency of their Java applications."
jHiccup captures, logs, and displays response time fluctuations in the runtime platform via "Hiccup charts." The tool does not measure delays caused by the application's code, but instead captures the stalls caused exclusively by the underlying runtime platform that would be visible to and affect any application thread running at the time of the stall. The data collected by the tool and the associated Hiccup charts allow IT organizations to better isolate application performance, latency, and delay problems, and to quickly resolve them.

Burgers 'made with Polish offcuts'
Irish authorities are sure that "filler product" found in contaminated burgers sold in supermarkets came from Poland and was a mixture of beef and horse offcuts, the UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA) has said.
The contaminated meat was in the form of blocks of frozen product from a Polish supplier that had been used for a year, FSA chief executive Catherine Brown told the Commons Environment Committee. Investigations are going on into how long contaminated meat might have been in use, Ms Brown told MPs.
Asked how UK consumers could know if horse meat had not been in burgers "for months, if not years", Ms Brown replied: "We haven't (in the past) identified horse meat in burgers as a likely significant risk in this country, and therefore it is possible... and that's why I'm saying that it's very important now that we get to the bottom of the Polish connection and the Irish investigation because it is possible that these burgers have been on sale in this country.
"The probable limit of possibility... is a year because it's been a year that this supplier has been supplying. And therefore when the Polish get to the bottom of this we will hope to know whether it's likely that this has been going on for a year."
Asked if the burgers posed a health risk, she replied: "There is no evidence at the moment that there has been any unsafe food produced. Clearly what we all rely on in terms of a safe food to eat is a fully functioning system of controls and a set of audits which check to all of our satisfaction that that robust set of controls are being consistently applied. So where you find a case where they haven't, it raises your general level of anxiety about the wider system. But, as I say, the tests that the Irish did indicate that there's nothing to be concerned about."
The meat was processed at the Silvercrest plant in Co Monaghan. Earlier in the day, Tesco announced that it had dropped Silvercrest as a supplier in the wake of the horse burger scandal over a "breach of trust". The supermarket was forced to issue a public apology earlier this month after tests discovered traces of the animal in beef products. Today Tesco accepted responsibility for the fiasco but appeared to pin much of the blame on its supplier. It said Silvercrest failed to comply with company policy, sourcing meat from abroad. It has now vowed to introduce a new DNA testing system designed to detect any "deviation from our high standards".
Tesco group technical director Tim Smith told the committee the retailer did not have a different set of standards for its "value" burgers - found to have been contaminated with horse meat - than any of its other lines. He told the committee: "You end up doing pretty much the same level of check whatever the product is. My reassurance to Tesco customers is pretty straightforward: the rigour, the surveillance, the quality checking, the auditing take no notice of whatever the price that that product is being sold at or the recipe."
Under repeated questioning from the MPs regarding where responsibility for where the contamination lay, health minister Anna Soubry said: "We don't know whether or not the Irish, the people that made the burgers, didn't themselves know that the meat coming in was in some way contaminated. We don't know that yet. So therefore it could be that there is a genuine fault in Poland with the particular supplier of this meat, either deliberately or not deliberately because they haven't been doing the right checks. And until we can establish all those facts we can't roll it back in order to find out where the responsibility lies."
In a separate development, The Co-operative Group announced that independent tests of its own-brand burgers supplied by Silvercrest had found traces of less than 1% horse DNA in three samples and 17.7% in one sample. A Co-operative spokeswoman said: "Our decision to withdraw these products at the first opportunity and cease taking further product from this site has proven to be the correct course of action. Whilst there are no safety issues involved, it is now apparent that some of the withdrawn products have not met the high standards we and our customers expect. We apologise for this.
"We specify that all meat in our frozen burgers should be 100% British but we now strongly believe that some of the meat used to produce these burgers came from outside the UK and was not British in origin, and as a result we have taken the decision to delist Silvercrest as a supplier with immediate effect. In addition we are tightening our already stringent quality checks to ensure our products meet the high specifications that we set on behalf of our customers."

An almost invisible live/work scheme on the site of a former carpenter's workshop has won this year's AJ Small Projects Awards
Described by the judges as 'delightful' and a 'superb use of a found site', Jack Woolley's £232,000 Old Workshop in London was handed the £1,000 first prize at a ceremony on Wednesday night at the NLA (8 February).
The office and home, with its 'hidden' door built into the brickwork of an existing wall, saw off schemes by 24 shortlisted practices. For the first time since the AJ began running the prize, which champions projects with a total build cost of £250,000 or less, all the finalists presented their projects to the judges for two minutes during a special day of 'crits'.
Commendations went to the 'beautiful' Capel Manor House Guest Pavilion in Kent by Ewan Cameron Architects (budget £245,000) and the similarly stunning Artist's Workshop for Anthony Gormley in London by Carmody Groarke (budget £35,000).
The Small Projects Sustainability Award, worth £750, was scooped by NEX for its Times Eureka Pavilion in Richmond, Surrey which was praised by the jury for 'making plastic beautiful' and for being 'entirely recyclable' (budget £70,000).
A Special Award was given to the Office of Subversive Architecture's homage to Kurt Schwitters Merz collage technique at the CUBE Gallery in Manchester (budget £21,000). The Merzen installation, which netted the practice a £750 prize, was hailed for its 'forward-thinking re-use of materials'.
The 2012 judging panel included: Moira Gemmill of the V&A; Keith Bradley of Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios; Rider Levett Bucknall's Mark Weaver; Paul Reed of Marley Eternit; and AJ editor Christine Murray.
