Global Wealth Protection LLC Bobby Casey Reneged on 100% refund of Global Escape Hatch ticket price Las Vegas, Nevada
*REBUTTAL Owner of company: My position is clear
*Author of original report: false statements, innuendo and rumors
*REBUTTAL Owner of company: Attendee - Bill Sanders - Was refunded according to our guidelines
He replied: I can tell you that the info I have personally learned from just one of our speakers earned me more money in one week than the cost of the event. And we have more than one dozen other speakers. Keep in mind we also have a 100% money back guarantee. If you come to the event and don't feel the ticket was worth the price just come tell me or Steve and we will refund the ticket price.
On the day after the conference ended, I decided that it was not worth the ticket price, so I found Bobby Casey and informed him that I would like a refund. I followed up with an email request.
He replied: Sorry to hear that. We will be happy to refund your fee and can process the refund in the next 3-5 working days. Please be advised that since you did not receive the expected value, we will be informing each of the speakers of your decision and they will be instructed as per our agreement to not engage in any business with you.
Also, as you attended all events, we will be deducting the food and beverage cost from your ticket price. If you are agreeable to those terms, please let me know at your earliest convenience.
My reply: I was going to offer to pay for the food and beverage cost, so that part is fine (NTE $100). However, you said, "we have a 100% money back guarantee." There was no mention of any other terms. No deductions for food and beverages, no notifying the speakers of my decision
and certainly no attempt to blackball me from doing business with them. This would be vindictive and mean spirited. And it was not part of the deal. Please issue the refund for either $1997 or $1897. And do not contact the speakers. Thank you.
His reply: The refund will be offered minus the $485 food and beverage fee. Not sure where you got the $100 figure. Each dinner alone cost us $50pp. Our contract with each speaker stipulates they are only allowed to do business with "PAID" attendees therefore they will be contacted directly regarding your refund. If you do not want the speakers contacted then no refund will be offered. Please confirm your decision.
My reply: I got the $100 figure for food and beverages from my own estimate of their value. 10 meals or events. Some worth less than $10 (half a burrito with rice for lunch). Some worth
nothing (the welcome "cash bar"). Some worth more (dinner at Sunshine Grill). Although now that I think about it, some lunches and the dinner on Maya Island were sponsored - so those cost you
nothing. $100 is a very fair number. Especially since your promise was "we have a 100% money back guarantee." This should be "no questions asked" with a blanket promise like that.
As for your contract with the speakers, please send me a copy. I find it hard to believe that such a clause would be included. Either way, I still want a FULL refund, per your legal offer and my legal acceptance. If you feel compelled to notify all the speakers, go for it.
His reply: You have been refunded. It may take a few days to clear from the merchant processor.
He also copied me on this message: Hi GEH speakers.
I wanted to drop all of you a quick note to inform you of an attendee refund. The following attendee (my name) has requested a refund of his ticket price. He has informed me that he did not receive the expected value from you as speakers. We have processed the refund and you should make note of this attendee in your records as per our agreement.
I was promised a 100% refund of my ticket price - period. Not 75%. No blackballing. Just a warning to anyone thinking about doing business with Mr. Casey in the future. This is the reality.

My position is clear
AUTHOR: GWPro - ()
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, March 26, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, March 26, 2013
The event began on the evening of March 6th with an open bar cocktail party, dinner on the beach and a live band.
On Thursday March 7th, included in the ticket price was breakfast, lunch, mid afternoon snack, cocktail party with live band, and dinner.
On Friday, March 8th, included in the ticket price was breakfast, lunch, mid afternoon snack, cocktail party, boat excursion to casino, dinner party by the pool with live band, and return boat ride.
On Saturday, March 9th, included in the ticket price was breakfast, lunch, boat excursion to a private islands party, cocktail party, dinner party by the pool with live band, and return boat ride.
On March 10th, there were no official meeting times, only availability for one-on-one meetings with speakers which were included in the ticket price. Each speaker charges a minimum of $250/h for consultations and this was included in the price.
Bill Sanders claims that the food/beverage package had a value of $100. Our cost on lunch alone was approximately $100pp. This is why we do not refund for the food/beverage cost as that is significant out of pocket expense.
Bill according to his own admission to many other attendees was only seeking a free ride. We refunded his entrance fee but are unwilling to foot the bill for his entire free vacation.
He complains that we "blackballed" him from the speakers. We only abided by our private contract with the speakers to inform them of his desire to seek a refund. Once he chose to seek a refund for his ticket price, he was no longer in the "paid attendee" category. Nothing more.
This is my last response as I already know the outcome of his attendance to the Argentina conference that followed our event. They have been in contact with me regarding Bill Sanders and his activity there.
We had glowing reviews from our attendees like Mike S., "I have attended offshore conferences for over 20 years and this is hands down the best event I've ever been to." or Andrew C., "This was our first event with you, but it won't be our last. We learned more at this event and made more business connections than in the past 2 years combined. We will be at every event from now on."
And dozens of others. Bill Sanders was looking for a free ride. It's a pity, but clearly people like him must exist. I will offer no additional rebuttal. Our reputation will stand based on the value we add.

false statements, innuendo and rumors
AUTHOR: Wildbill562 - ()
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, March 26, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, March 26, 2013
The conference was 3 days with 3 meals each day provided plus a cocktail party the night before. I skipped a few of the speaker presentations, but did attend each meal - which is how I know they did not cost anywhere near $50 each - as claimed by Mr. Casey.
I had 2 one-on-one appointments with speakers. I agreed to do business with one and rejected the offer of the other because it did not match what he claimed verbally during his presentation. I hung out and socialized with a few of the other speakers.
I did not say, "Hi Bobby, I had a good time at the conference and learned a lot. Can I get my refund issued?" Frankly, I didn't learn alot. I said, "Hi Bobby, I enjoyed the conference, but I don't feel it was worth the TICKET PRICE. Can I get a refund check before I leave?" This is exactly what Bobby told me to do if I attended and did not feel the event was worth the ticket price.
The following statements are flat out lies:
Casey: Bill was also overheard by several of the speakers and attendees bragging about how he attends events and demands a refund as a way to participate in conferences at no cost. Bill even mentioned that he went to a seminar that promoted such a strategy.
Casey: Ironically, just a few days later I received an email from one of our attendees who was at another event also attended by Bill Sanders. This other attendee informed me that Bill attempted the same thing by demanding a refund from this seminar provider.
I did attend the Harvest Celebration at Doug Casey's (no relation to Bobby) La Estancia de Cafayate later that week, but I never requested a refund. In fact, I paid $225 for 3 days of property tours, golf, free massage, spa/pool, Casey Research presentation, wonderful lunches, dinners and cocktail parties. I can say without reservation that I got much more for $225 with Doug Casey than I did for $1997 with Bobby Casey!
I did receive a credit of $1512 from Bobby Casey - thank you. My point in writing this report is let others know that Mr. Casey will not honor his word regarding 100% money back guarantee of the ticket price. And I am discovering more about his lack of honor each passing day...

Attendee - Bill Sanders - Was refunded according to our guidelines

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, March 26, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, March 26, 2013
The conference was held over 4 days and each day included breakfast, lunch, dinner, cocktail parties and boat excursions, which were included in the event price. Bill Sanders attended every event, every meal, every cocktail party, and every excursion.
Bill Sanders even had one-on-one appointments with more than half (15) speakers and even attempted to engage several of them in business transactions. Bill approached me on the final day while I was sitting at the table with 8 other conference attendees and stated, "Hi Bobby, I had a good time at the conference and learned a lot. Can I get my refund issued?"
Bill was also overheard by several of the speakers and attendees bragging about how he attends events and demands a refund as a way to participate in conferences at no cost. Bill even mentioned that he went to a seminar that promoted such a strategy.
Ironically, just a few days later I received an email from one of our attendees who was at another event also attended by Bill Sanders. This other attendee informed me that Bill attempted the same thing by demanding a refund from this seminar provider.
As per the contract with our speakers, they participate in our events presenting their educational material to our attendees and can only conduct business with our "paid" attendees. As Bill Sanders requested (and received according to our guidelines) a refund, we informed the speakers that Bill Sanders was no longer a paid attendee.
This is part of the private contract between my company and our speakers and thus we are required to inform speakers of any refunds issued.

The new movie is titled The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle and is "based on the character from the 1920's series of children's books by Hugh Lofting", according to THR.
Doctor Dolittle is no stranger to the big screen. So it's not too much of a surprise that Downey is set to star in The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle where he'll play the eponymous physician who can communicate with animals.
Sanctuary Travis County Released 142 Criminal Aliens in Week, Says ICE
Most of the time that means local law enforcement refuse to hand criminals-who are in the country illegally-over to ICE. The suspects in those jails had convictions for domestic violence, burglary and forgery, among other crimes.
Stephen Gaghan, who most recently directed Matthew McConaughey's "Gold", will helm the film from his own screenplay.
Universal won the project after what it termed "a highly competitive situation" in Hollywood. The story was about a Doctor who elects to treat animals over humans after he finds that he has the ability to speak with them. That film spawned four sequels, though the latter three did not star Murphy and were released straight-to-video. And now, thanks to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, it appears we've found out what Downey Jr. and his production company have in-store for us.
Paris Orly attack: Drugs and alcohol found in gunman's blood
A man has been shot dead at France's second busiest airport, Paris Orly, after an apparent failed terror attack Saturday. The British royals earlier on Saturday met some of the survivors of the Paris attacks in a visit to a military hospital.
Downey will next be seen reprising his signature role as Tony Stark/Iron Man in the upcoming Marvel Studios/Sony tentpole Spider-Man: Homecoming, and is now in the midst of the epic year-long shoot for Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War as well as its sequel. He's repped by CAA. Additionally, Gaghan and Downey are repped by Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush & Kaller; and Roth/Kirschenbaum by Ziffren Brittenham.
Afghan soldier open fire on USA soldiers in Helmand leaving 3 wounded
Another 10 fighters were killed in a separate drone strike in the Dand-e Patan district of neighbouring Paktia province, said Gov. William Salvin, a US military spokesman in Afghanistan, said security forces on the base killed the attacker.

15–knot westerlies should give Dublin Bay Sailing Club Spring Chicken sailors grounds for optimism this Sunday at the National Yacht Club.
After two cancellations, the 50–boat fleet is hopeful for a start this weekend after two missed Sundays so far in the pre–season warmer on Dublin Bay. As Afloat.ie previously reported there's been either too little or too much wind on the Bay so far for the popular Rathfarnham Ford sponsored series.
Simple courses using just two fixed marks – the West Pier Outfall Buoy and the Muglins Rock – and a starting-line set by Henry Leonard's of the DBSC Race Management team have proved a winning formula under organiser Fintan Cairns.
The series has also got support from Dun Laoghaire's Irish National Sailing School, North Sails and UK McWilliam Sails.
Attached below are handicaps and starts for Sunday.

Lady Gaga is never afraid to push boundaries and it looks like she wants to raise the bar for Super Bowl Halftime show performances!
According to Page Six, "Lady Gaga wants to sing on the roof of the Super Bowl — and lawyers and technicians alike are trying to figure out how to make her ambitious plan work." She wants to sing on top of the NRG Stadium dome, which if she did would immediately put her in the history books.
Sources close to the production are revealing that:
'Her team is worried' about technical and safety issues surrounding Gaga's scheme, we're told the "Born This Way" singer is 'all for it' and 'pushing to do it.'
'They're writing up multiple plans about how to safely get her on the roof, including potentially [cutting] a hole in the ceiling of the dome,' says a source with knowledge of the arrangements.
RELATED: REPORT: Lady Gaga Could Bring 'JOANNE' Tour To Fenway Park This Summer
No one is ready for the spectacle the "Bad Romance" singer is going to put on for us. They're trying to make anything work for the performance, including possibly "airlifting" her to the retractable fabric roof, which can open in just 7-minutes!
"A source close to the project says Gaga is hoping to do the stunt live," which would indicate the performance will not take place soley on the roof, but also on the ground like all the normal performers. If she could pull this off it would be WICKED EPIC!!
Regardless of what happens, Lady Gaga is sure to put on one of the best Halftime shows we will ever witness.

Sabotage is a Turn-Based Strategy in which the player can play as any of the 22 Agents in an organization called HELIOS. The game features maps which the player must complete with a team consisting of the agents to progress through the campaign. The team that you get when starting a campaign is randomized. The catch is that there are nine traitors in your group that will subtly try and make your missions fail. If there are any traitors left by the time the 9th area of the campaign is completed, they will turn their back against the player's team and block the player from getting the best ending. Every playthrough, the traitors are randomized, so the player has to rely on hints and clues to get the traitors in each floor.
The organization of HELIOS consists of some of the most notorious criminals in the world. 22 of these are hired into a special squad. Recently, the leader of the organization, Antonia, has been threatened with being overthrown and killed by one of their subordinates who codenames themselves as "Night". Antonia also learns that some of her agents have turned cloak with Night. Knowing that there is no clear way to see who Night is with no leads, she sends the squad of 22 into multiple heists throughout the world so the rest of the squad may be able to find the traitors. The traitors and Night cannot strike just yet while there are still members loyal to Antonia who would get in the way, so they play along in her test as well.
The game takes place in 10 areas - the first nine of them are situated in grand heists around the world with an objective such as to raid a palace or assassinate an important person. Each area is split into six levels. At the end of the sixth level, the team must vote amongst each other to vote who they think one of the traitors are and kill them. Only one traitor can reveal themselves per area, except in the 9th area in which there are two of them working together. The player character can look at clues and events when they complete a level to identify suspicious characters. They can converse with the team out of battle to convince others who is the traitor or not. Gaining trust with your team is imperative as this means they will believe you more. Without this, your team may think of you as the traitor and vote you off. If you are voted off, the game is over. The objective is to sway the rest of the team to vote for the person you think is the traitor.
Once someone has been eliminated, they will leave behind their ID. You can equip their ID to your other units so that they may have a fraction of their skills at a weaker rate. Equipping these IDs will also open up different branches of a character's skill tree as they can combine their different skills with the skills learned from the ID.
There are also other modes within the game that can help vary the gameplay.
|Main Campaign
|The main campaign. There are 10 areas and nine traitors within your group. Each time it is started, the traitors are randomly predetermined. The tenth area of the game changes depending on how many traitors are in your group. If there are none, you access the true ending where you stand off against Night. If there is even one traitor, the same area appears but you do not get to face off against Night. It also makes the tenth area much harder as you will lose the traitorous characters, making your team much smaller. If all the traitors survived, they will gang up on you and the remaining innocents and kill you all
|Traitor Mode
|In this mode, you are working for Night. You and eight other traitors will work together to sway the innocent members of the team away from you and onto each other. The objective is to eliminate all of the innocents. The tenth level changes depending on the amount of innocents left. The true ending sees you keeping the rest of your traitor team alive and killing off the rest of the innocents to take Antonia down. If there is one or more Traitor casualties along the way, the tenth area stays the same but is much harder as you have less units to use. If all of your fellow traitors are killed, you are found out and killed yourself.
|In this mode, you take control of 11 units against the other 11 units on the other side. It is essentially a battle mode.
|Free play
|In this mode, you can play any map from any level from any area you have already previously completed.
These are the characters that come into play.
HELIOS Team
|Turret Defense
|Rosalia's speciality is turret defense, so she can build turrets each turn that do various jobs on the map, from doing damage to enemies to distracting enemies in range. Turrets can be destroyed by enemies, but in general are extremely useful for passive damage and effects. However, she is not very good at much else.
Personality-wise, she appears to be meek but is actually extremely confident in herself. She likes to use her demeanour to throw opponents off guard and lure them in. Born in Acapulco, she grew up with her father, who was an engineer. She took after him in tinkering with mechanics and eventually became experienced in building her own automatic turrets. She became hired by a drug monopoly and became notorious for her defensive turrets which protected the headquarters.
|Czesław specializes in sniping opponents from afar. He has the longest range in the game and relies on critical hits to inflict massive damage and to defeat targets from afar. He is best kept away from the front lines as he does not have a high HP and is not good at close range combat.
|Inzhu's swords prove very good at defeating non-armored enemies and are very good at inflicting critical hits. Her speed is very high and she can dodge reliably. However she is not very good at taking hits, and will go down quickly if caught off guard.
|Lázaro wields a multitude of firearms, and is great at shooting enemies at both close range and far away, although he does not excel in these fields. He is well balanced and can fit into most spaces that he is put in, but he does not excel at anything in particular.
|Viviana's stealth means she can sneak into enemy range without being seen and can pass spaces occupied by enemy units in order to get behind them. She excels in attacking enemies from behind, where she does extra damage. She is the frailest character but this does not become a problem unless she is detected.
|Telford is the sole medic in the game, and mainly supports units by using heal or health draining attacks. He is not good at combat but is invaluable in keeping your units alive. He can also revive fainted units on the battle field.
|Emma's explosives deal area damage and have different effects. Some attacks are immediate while some of the others detonate after a set amount of time or when another unit comes near it. While powerful, her drawback is that her attacks can hurt nearby allies too.
|Map Modification
|Wei can modify technology around him and adjust it to his will. He can temporarily buff ally weapons or dismantle enemy technology. He is not good at combat but the modifications he makes to the environment, allies and/or enemies make a difference on the battlefield. He can also reliably get the entire layout of the map.
|Aysel's scouting helps reveal nearby enemy HP and stats at their most accurate and immediately tracks down their weakness. She is fast and hits moderately hard, but goes down in a few hits, so she is best played going into the front lines and retreating again.
|Roland can open any chest or door on the map, giving your team the advantage by opening new paths or gaining items. He can also lock doors so no enemies can appear from them anymore. He deals in ranged combat exclusively as in melee he goes down in one hit usually.
|Jane has massive movement range and can fly over obstacles that may otherwise hinder your team. She can make aerial attacks and reach places that otherwise cannot be. She can also carry a team member with her, albeit at a range penalty. However, her flight makes her an easier target for enemies to get at her.
|Hand-to-Hand Combat
|Sadou fights without weapons, but is very effective at taking down enemy units with his bare hands. His attack range is almost nonexistent but he delivers fast and powerful hits. His HP and Defense is also reliable for him to take on enemies on the front lines.
|Amandine makes traps, which ensnare enemies and do different things. After laying down a trap, any enemy that steps on it will receive damage and have their movement reduced to none, making them easy to kill or stop them in their tracks. Her other traps can do different effects, and cannot be destroyed. While useful, she requires setup to do damage.
|Trent can amplify the attacks of the allies around him, buffing their stats and debuffing the enemy. He is also very good in unison attacks and has a large range for them, but does not get reliable attacks that deal good damage until later levels.
|Radha can use her flamethrower to mow down enemies in front of her, and set the environment on fire if need be. She deals reliable damage but the fires she makes can deal damage to herself and allies if not controlled properly. She can also use the fire to illuminate dark areas, albeit at a smallr isk of setting things on fire.
|Defense Shield
|Hassan's Defensive stats are the highest in the game, and is extremely useful in tanking hits while dealing reliable damage in offense. However, he is very susceptible to critical hits as they ignore defense, so he requires support to fully tank.
|Nyari can hack into the enemy's communication systems to predict what they are going to do next. As such, she can dodge reliably and also shut down enemy formations by telling the team about them in advance. She can also hack into the enemy controls and temporarily control their robotics.
|Silvio can mimic both ally and enemy stats temporarily, imitating their stats and attacks. This is useful for being a backup and essentially having two of the same unit. However, without synchronizing with anyone, he is very vulnerable. Also, weapons do not carry over and he cannot synch with robots, so he has to rely on his own weapon for damage.
|Marcia can create robots on a whim which she can control. She can create up to three robots as controllable units on a whim, essentially making her four units in one. The robots are good at attacking but go down easily. While useful, she relies on her robots to do most of the damage, and must spend time repairing them if they go down.
|Tank Mecha
|Óskar has his own personal tank mecha which he uses to deal damage. He is deals heavy damage and has high defenses but is slower than foot units. He is susceptible to fire and electric attacks as well, so he cannot tank such types of attacks very well.
|Yuzuki can use warp to get around the battlefield in an instant. However, she must warp adjacent to an ally or enemy unit, or a warp zone if she decides to. With this, she can be around the map everywhere many times.
|Status Effect
|Haneul specializes in inflicting status effects to enemies and healing them off his allies. He has reliable defense but relies on the status effects to actually deal consistent damage. He can stack status effects onto enemies as well.

You pick one player who you think is going to win. It's a knock out-system: if the player you picked wins, you're through to the next round. If she loses, you're out. 2. Till the Round of 16, you have to pick one player per day. In the R16, quarters, semis and finals you pick one player per round. 3. During a tournament, you can pick a player only ONCE. Obviously it's important to make smart choices in order to get far. If you somehow have no players left to pick, you're out as well. 4. You can't pick a player from a match that has started already. 5a. If the player you picked retires during the match, you're out.

Writer: Legal System to Blame for 'No-Snitch' Rules
Author Ethan Brown discusses his new book, Snitch: Informants, Cooperators and the Corruption of Justice, and the "no-snitch" culture that is evolving in some inner cities. Brown also analyzes the role of hip-hop and whether the criminal justice system in the U.S. is part of the problem as much as it is part of the solution.
MICHEL MARTIN, host:
I'm Michel Martin. This is TELL ME MORE from NPR News.
Coming up, we'll take another look at HIV/AIDS in the nation's capital. Washington, D.C., was once applauded for its proactive approach to facing the disease. So why does the city now have the highest infection rate in the country? One reporter who's been tracking the epidemic gives us his take.
But first, we continue our conversation that we've been having really since we launched the program. It's about snitching. Snitching or informing is part of the culture dating back to childhood. Nobody likes a tattletale. And popular culture has always made a villain of the stool pigeon.
But as violent crime surges in major cities, and to some observers a hip-hop culture seems to glorify thugs and denigrate law enforcement, those in the straight and narrow are concerned that a no-snitch culture has taken over. They say it's costing lives and allowing violent criminals to operate with impunity. But is that really true?
Author Ethan Brown has written a book "Snitch: Informers, Cooperators & the Corruption of Justice." It takes an in-depth look at snitching, how it evolved into what it is today and what it means for the judicial system. He joins us from member station WWNO in New Orleans to talk about this.
Ethan Brown, welcome.
Mr. ETHAN BROWN (Author, "Snitch: Informers, Cooperators & the Corruption of Justice"): Thanks, Michel. Thank you.
MARTIN: And part of the premise of your book is that there's a lot of misinformation in the middle-class mainstream about snitching. So when you say snitching, what are you talking about?
Mr. BROWN: You know, when I'm talking about snitching, I'm talking specifically in the book about cooperators in drug cases. And a cooperator is defined as someone who offers information to prosecutors in exchange for a more lenient sentence at the time of sentencing.
MARTIN: Is that what people in the street mean?
Mr. BROWN: This is the problem, is that, you know, there's a hugely wide kind of variation in what defines a snitch. It can be anything from a cooperator in a drug case to, unfortunately, someone who just happened to witness a crime -from a robbery to a murder.
MARTIN: It's your premise. In fact, you have a very provocative premise in this book.
Mr. BROWN: Right.
MARTIN: It's your premise that the real reason cooperating with law enforcement has fallen into disfavor…
Mr. BROWN: Right.
MARTIN: …is that law enforcement has been so dominated now by the drug war that mandatory minimums…
Mr. BROWN: Yeah.
MARTIN: …and sentencing guidelines have given prosecutors…
Mr. BROWN: Right.
MARTIN: …so much power that the only way…
Mr. BROWN: Yeah.
MARTIN: …to get a break is to turn in somebody else.
Mr. BROWN: Exactly.
MARTIN: And that because of that, the savvier you are, the bigger the fish you are, the better you are to manipulate the system by turning in somebody else, and that this kind of no-snitch culture is a reaction to that. But what makes you so sure of that?
Mr. BROWN: Well, we're now 20 years into our extraordinarily punitive drug policies that we have, which began in the mid-80s. These drug policies mandated extraordinarily long prison sentences for even minor crimes such as possession of five grams of crack. And five grams, by the way, is the equivalent to the weight of a nickel. And even Senator Jim Webb from Virginia recently said that these sentencing policies are, quote, one of the largest public policy experiments in our history.
So this is a huge, huge, profound shift in the criminal justice policy that began in the mid-80s. And part of that, it's more than just doling out, you know, extraordinarily long punishments for drug-related defenses. It's making cooperation central to getting a, quote, downward departure or reduction from those sentences, which has created a kind of game in which people lie and fabricate evidence about others.
And it's also a game where there are very few rules on the side of prosecutors. They do not corroborate an informant testimony with evidence. Drug investigations are cooperator and informant-led. It's not like DEA intelligence is picking the targets. You have the cooperators and informants.
MARTIN: You're saying cooperators and informants are the sole sum and the total of the case in many cases, the whole reason cases are being brought.
Mr. BROWN: They are indeed, yeah. One criminal defense attorney called the cottage industry of cooperators. You have very little incentive to do investigative work.
MARTIN: You talked about this, a story that got quite a lot of currency here in the Washington area. There was this video produced out of Baltimore...
Mr. BROWN: Right. Right.
MARTIN: ...called "Stop Snitchin." It caused huge outcry because Denver Nuggets player Carmelo Anthony appeared in this DVD and a lot of people were very upset. It was viewed as a slap at law enforcement and so forth. And your premise in the book is that this was actually a very misunderstood that, in fact, what this DVD was actually saying is what? You tell me.
Mr. BROWN: I went to Baltimore and interviewed the creator of the "Stop Snitchin" DVD, a guy named Rodney Bethea, who actually is not a drug dealer or a hustler, he is a barber in Baltimore. And, you know, according to him, what the DVD is about is it saying these drug laws that we have, have sort of created a system in which people think that they can get out on the street, hustle and do whatever they want and then simply roll over on other people and get a big reduction in their sentence and go right back to the streets again.
MARTIN: Now, I understand that you think that a lot of this no-snitching issue is related to anger, about the way the so-called drug war is being prosecuted. But why isn't this just witness intimidation? I mean, I could call a crime reporter in any city in this country and they would tell me about a violent crime where somebody gets gunned down and nobody saw nothing and that people say…
Mr. BROWN: Right.
MARTIN: …they are afraid to talk to the police. So why is this not just witness intimidation? Why is it really that complicated?
Mr. BROWN: It is. It absolutely is in many cases. And I think what I'd like to convey is that we have a federal criminal justice system that uses huge amount of resources to go after low-level drug dealers, yet, at the local and state level, we have an extraordinarily lack of resources to deal with actual witness intimidation.
MARTIN: But there are those who would argue that this is really a matter of a culture of at least, you know, the glorification of the thug or…
Mr. BROWN: Right.
MARTIN: …community indifference. And I'm going to play your short clip from - I know you know about this but CNN's Anderson Cooper spoke with rapper Cam'ron about snitching where Cam'ron claimed that he wouldn't snitch under any circumstances…
Mr. BROWN: Right.
MARTIN: …even if a serial killer lived next door to him. Let's play that clip.
(Soundbite of CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360 Degrees")
Mr. ANDERSON COOPER (Host, "Anderson Cooper 360 Degrees"): Is there any situation where you think it's okay to talk to the police?
Mr. CAMERON GILES (Rapper, Cam'ron): Yeah, definitely. Say hello. How you feel? Everything all right? Period.
Mr. COOPER: That's it?
Mr. GILES: There's nothing really to talk about with the police. I mean, for what?
Mr. COOPER: If there's a serial killer living next door to you, though, and you know that person is, you know, killing people, would you be a snitch if you called police and told them?
Mr. GILES: If I knew the serial killer was living next door to me?
Mr. COOPER: Yeah.
Mr. GILES: No, I wouldn't call and tell anybody on him, but I would probably move. But I'm not going to call and be like, you know, the serial killer is in 4-E.
MARTIN: Now, of course, this caused a huge outcry. Cam'ron had to apologize and say, you know…
Mr. BROWN: Yeah.
MARTIN: …what people say in situations like this. But a lot of people look at this and say, you know, there's just an attitude here. There's an attitude that says - that doesn't want to hold anybody accountable for anything they do no matter how destructive they are. What do you say to that?
Mr. BROWN: Well, actually, you know, the really interesting thing about the Cam'ron appearance is that the reaction to his appearance among the hip-hop world was uniformly negative. Everyone thought that his comments were idiotic, and they were. And everyone thought that they were unrepresentative of how people feel about this issue.
In my first book, "Queens Reigns Supreme," I sort of talk about how hip-hop assumed personas and stories of big drug dealers from the 1980s. And with Cam'ron, this is the case of hip-hop attempting to interpret what's going on in the streets. But instead, badly misinterpreting what's going on.
I mean, even if you talk to drug dealers or former hustlers and ask them what they think about someone who is a - as they call it, legitimate citizen, saying that they're not going to call the cops. They think that's totally ridiculous.
MARTIN: Have you talked to any prosecutors in the course of reporting this book, or have any of them read it since it's been out?
Mr. BROWN: I have talked to prosecutors, yeah. And…
MARTIN: How they are reacting to your theory?
Mr. BROWN: I think that they see cooperation as a necessity in building all kinds of cases. And I think that they're right, obviously. And I'm not saying that we need to scrap the whole cooperation process, because you obviously couldn't build cases if you did that. But I think where we disagree in a big way is on the sentencing guidelines. I think they see the sentencing guidelines as just. And I think they see the sentencing guidelines as having done a lot to reduce crime in the '90s. I actually don't happen to agree with that because I think, for example, in Canada, Canada had experienced very similar crime declines in the '90s but without incarcerating as many people as we did.
MARTIN: Ethan Brown is author of "Snitch: Informants, Cooperators and the Corruption of Justice." He joins us from WWNO in New Orleans. Thanks so much for speaking with us.
Mr. BROWN: Thank you.

There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, 'Fool me once, shame on…shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.
– George W. Bush
On April 21st, The Guardian reported that the leader of Dae'sh or Islamic State, was allegedly seriously injured in air-strikes which took place back on March 18th, in the region of al-Baaj. According to The Guardian article, "a source with connections to the terror group," claimed that Baghdadi was no longer in command as a result of the severity of his injuries. As of May 1st, the Guardian went a step further, declaring al-Baghdadi has been (perhaps permenently) incapacitated.
The source may indeed be telling the truth, but there's no way of confirming whether these reports are accurate. The responsible thing to do in this situation would be to get official confirmation or reliable evidence–but if there's one thing corporate media is not it's responsible. Several outlets immediately reported about the alleged injuries to Baghdadi and even began to speculate about the identity of his replacement.
We saw something similar last November and December, when Al-Jazeera reported that the leader of Dae'sh had been injured in a strike that killed one of his deputies. One of the sources they cited in the report was a worker at the Mosul morgue. The only strong evidence that seems to confirm Baghdadi's injury in November, came weeks later, when a Twitter account supposedly connected to the Dae'sh spokesperson wished Baghdadi a speedy recovery. Again, we seem to take for granted the reporting done by what could be official Dae'sh propagandists or its Twitter fanboys.
The Pentagon has stated that it has no evidence of such injuries occurring and shot down the speculations, and the claims of al-Baghdadi's demise seem to be contradicted by his apparent recent edict to have Syrian Dae'sh reinforce their Iraqi brethren. But the rumor persists nonetheless–in part as a result of ISIS itself.
Dae'sh has an interest in depicting itself as the recipient of divine intervention and blessing, which supposedly shields it from its enemies and their schemes to destroy it. Stories of the leader surviving coalition airstrikes, allows Dae'sh to make coalition forces look inept and incapable, by demonstrating that twice now the coalition has been unable to kill their "caliph." Meanwhile, to the extent that al-Baghdadi is perceived to have twice suffered serious life-threatening injuries, but apparently continues to run the organization– this gives his recovery a miraculous quality. In other words, whether people believe al-Baghdadi narrowly escaped the attack, or whether they believe he was struck but survived–either way it is good for Dae'sh, reinforcing their narrative of divine protection.
And so while it may very well turn out that al-Baghdadi was indeed injured, and maybe even killed, media outlets should be more cautious in the way they report. This is true especially when using questionable sources, which may be speaking on behalf of a group characterized by its sophisticated propaganda apparatus–lest Western media be further co-opted by Dae'sh's nefarious b.s. machine.
Moreover, it is important to realize that even were al-Baghdadi to fall, Dae'sh is ideologically and institutionally designed to not only survive, but thrive, in the event of their leader's martyrdom. So if and when a report on the demise of the "caliph" actually proves true, there is no reason to think Dae'sh will follow him to oblivion anytime soon. In fact, their next leader may prove to be far more effective and dangerous.

Aaron Workman's two Apple Performas (630CD and 631CD), both running System 7.5.5, showed a strange symptom the other week. When waiting for an incoming fax, the first Mac froze. After successfully rebooting, there were no items listed in the Apple menu and the System Folder had vanished! Numerous attempts to locate it turned up empty. Finally, Norton Utilities FastFind found it but said it was invisible. Using the utility to make it visible again, the System Folder returned and everything was back to normal. Oddly, this exact situation repeated itself two days later on the second Mac.
I have never heard of this happening before. Any one with insight into this, please let me know.

Chad Ochocinco's not doing a whole lot with the Patriots. Through five games, he's caught nine passes for 136 yards and has yet to score a touchdown (though he did drop a potential score). The partnership with Tom Brady isn't working the wonders on Ochocinco that it once did for Randy Moss; it's actually making Ochocinco's numbers go down because the Patriots have so many other options. And people are noticing – not the least of whom is Ochocinco's fiancee, Evelyn Lozada. You can see Lozada wearing Ochocinco's jersey on her online store's page, but the tributes stop there. Here's a sampling of available merchandise:
Ouch. Lozada further rubbed it in here, though Ochocinco seems to be taking it well (check his profile image, also). Hey, if Ochocinco couldn't take a joke, he probably wouldn't do things like…everything he does, basically.
And as far as being a non-factor on the field – it's not so bad, really. The Patriots just have a bunch of really good receivers. Wes Welker has the most receving yards in the league by a long shot. You won't find a better duo of pass-catching tight end teammates in the NFL than Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. And if Deion Branch keeps up the pace he's on, he'll post nearly 1,000 receiving yards himself. Ochocinco's the fifth option. Not indispensable, but on a team like the Patriots – and for a guy who, at 33, probably should be on the downside of his career anyway – one could do a lot worse.

A Long Winter's Nap and Other Ramblings
Aren't you ready for a long winter's nap? We sure are! This is a little game the boys have been playing for about a month. If you say "Night, Night, _____ (insert boy name)", they hit the deck, thumb in mouth, and get in sleeping position. I really need to get it on video – it's a riot.
If the next parts seem random and unrelated, it's because they are…but I've been meaning to post a few things so fasten your seatbelts for some classic rambling!
- I've been meaning to show you these:
Aren't they just precious? No mantle to hang them on yet, but I think the staircase makes a nice display. I got these off of Pottery Barn after Christmas clearance last year and could hardly wait to get them hung. I am such a sucker for embroidered names. It's when I look at all of their names on 4 different things, that it sinks in a little further that we have 4 BOYS!
- You might have noticed that I added my "tweets" to our right sidebar. Feel free to "follow me" by clicking the link, if you'd like a little glimpse of my daily reality. And if you are new to all this bird jabber, this article is a good twitter introduction.
- New challenge of the week: The boys are learning to use their toys and books as weapons. Let's just say the bridge of my nose still hurts from yesterday. Discipline is such a fun part of my job description (written with major sarcasm).
- We're all quite excited for Christmas. We'll be traveling for Brad's side of the family for Christmas Eve. Home just the 6 of us for Christmas, and then having my side of the family here the weekend following. I can hardly wait to experience it all!
- We got the boys one big gift for Christmas morning. They are going to LOVE it! Any guesses? Need a hint? Hmmmm…It doesn't contain batteries.
- Last, but CERTAINLY NOT least. I've been mentoring a fellow quad mama, who blew past my personal 32 week milestone this week. Suzy is 32 weeks 4 days today! It's absolutely miraculous, especially since she's been on hospital bed rest since 25 weeks with contractions AND on "The Mag". I cannot even put to words, how HARD Suzy is fighting right now for these babies. It's a true sacrificial love, and I know she would appreciate your prayers! Love you, Suzy!

'Drunk' Paul Gascoigne arrested
FORMER England football star Paul Gascoigne was in police custody last night accused of a drunken assault.
He was arrested at Stevenage railway station in Hertfordshire at 10.30pm on Thursday.
Gazza, 46, was held in the cells overnight on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly and common assault. The identity of his alleged victim has yet to be confirmed.
Neighbours at Gazza's home in Bournemouth said they had not seen the star for days.
The arrest comes five months after he was released from a rehab clinic in the US, where he was sent by worried friends. Ex-England striker Gary Lineker, Manchester United's Wayne Rooney and DJ Chris Evans were among those who helped to pay for his £7,500-a-week stay at the Cottonwood clinic in Arizona.
The arrest comes five months after he was released from a rehab clinic in the US
After returning home from the US, Gazza said he went three months without a drink.
A month ago he was spotted enjoying a day at the races in Windsor with his ex-wife Sheryl, 47, their son, Regan, 17, and his step- daughter Bianca, 26.

Landforms and Water Features
3rd Grade, Science Unit 6
By Kate Akhtar-Khavari
What is a
is a feature of Earth's surface. They are formed through natural processes over time.
is the low land between mountains or hills. They are sometimes formed by water or ice passing between hills and mountains.
A canyon is a valley with steep sides that was carved by flowing water, like a river. The river slowly chips away at the sides of the mountain or hill, making the canyon deeper and wider over time.
A plateau is a flat plain that is higher than the land around it. Plateaus is formed when flat land is pushed up through the Earth's motion. Plateaus are sometimes found near mountains.
A glacier is a large, thick sheet of ice tat moves across land very slowly. Glaciers cut paths into the ground as they move along. As they move, glaciers bring with them rocks, dirt, and sand.
A river is a large body of flowing fresh water. Rivers flow into larger bodies of water, such as oceans.

What is the difference between a canyon and a valley?
Mountains are areas that are much higher than the land around it. They are formed by crust of the earth pressing together and moving upward. Usually mountains are a part of a mountain range, which is a row of mountains.
Is this a mountain or a plateau?
A lake is a large, still body of water surrounded by land. Most lakes are fresh water, not salt water.
An ocean is a vast area of salt water. There are 5 oceans in the world.

A plain is a broad area of flat land. Plains can be grasslands, forested, frozen, or deserts.
Deserts are areas that receive very little precipitation. Deserts can be any temperature, but all deserts are very dry. Although there is little water for plants and animals, deserts have plants and animals.

MMM Global, weekly news from Sergey Mavrodi (2016.02.14)
Hello! Here is the news. Actually we don't have any extraordinary news. Recently it has been traditional. Everyone gets paid. All takes its normal course. And that's what is important. It's the main news, in fact. That's the way it is. There's something I would like to say: I'm receiving reports that there constantly some minor technical issues occur. I don't mention them in my video messages, though it doesn't mean that I'm not aware of them. We know everything and solve them in working order. It's just not worth mentioning them specifically. Assuming the fact that some people get worried whether I know about them. Yes, I do. You don't need to worry. All of them are being settled and it's a normal work procedure, nothing more. Otherwise, what else can be said? In general that's it. I'm repeating once more - when everything is well, there isn't any special news. Ok, see you next time.

Barca reserves blow away Bilbao 4-1; Sevilla cruise past Tenerife; Zaragoza beat Malaga to ease relegation fears
Barcelona 4 – Athletic Bilbao 1 (La Liga, April 3, 2010) Barcelona struck 25 minutes in against Bilbao, the Catalans built up an attack on the edge of the visitors' box before Abdial played the killer ball to the back stick where Jeffren slid in to score. Barca doubled their advantage five minutes from the break when Bojan Krkic finished clinically after being put clear by Carlos Puyol. Just before the hour mark Barca score a tremendous team goal as a patient attack involving several players finally sped up with Bojan Krkic smashing home a 20-yard rocket for number three. Things heated up when Yaya Toure motioned a headbutt at Javi Martinez after a coming together in which both players were booked. But soon Barca were back to scoring as Leo Messi go tin on the act converting Pedro's right wing cross. Markel Laskurain netted a 77th minute consolation for Bilbao.
Sevilla 3 – Tenerife 0 (La Liga, April 3, 2010) Fredi Kanoute and Luis Fabiano were on target in the first half and a fine free kick from Jose Carios completed the scoring in the second half.
Zaragoza 2 – Malaga 0 (La Liga, April 3, 2010) A howitzer from Leonardo Ponzio on the stroke of halftime put Zaragoza into the lead, and a second half volley from striker Humberto Suazo sealed the hosts' victory.

Contrary to the reports which appeared in the print and television media in the past fortnight or so, all is not entirely rosy vis-à-vis the box-office collections of the two big films which released during Pongal last month. The issue might go on to become a big one in the days to come or might even be settled amicable keeping in view the star-status of the director concerned. Let's now go deep into the 'performance' of these films.
Shankar's mega-budget Nanban has been doing average business in multiplexes in the city including Sathyam, Inox, PVR, etc. On the contrary, the film has been faring pretty badly in single-screen theatres which have more number of seats. Ramanujam, editor of a trade magazine Tamil Nadu Entertainment, has a lot to say about the box-office collections of Nanban.
"It's far from the truth that Nanban has been breaking many box-office records; the fact of the matter is that the film is yet to collect Rs.30 crores at the box-office. While the first few days were good with a collection of Rs.4-4.5 crores, the collections started registering a steep fall from the second week onwards. Considering the positive reviews the film has generated, it was expected that the film would become a super-duper hit.
"What happened was contrary to that; it has to be studied as to what went wrong. The total budget of the film is about Rs.65 crores. As of now, it appears that it'd be a Herculean task for the film to cross the half-way mark of Rs.35 crores. Soon, we'd publish the theatre-wise collection details in respect of the film," he concludes. Another distributor, who didn't want to be named, said he could only make fun of those who compared the collections of Nanban with superstar Rajinikanth's Enthiran: The Robot.
Lingusamy-directed Vettai appears to be slightly picking in terms of ticket sales in theatres. Despite the not-so-negative criticisms the film received, it couldn't bring the public to theatres to watch it. In the ultimate analysis, the film might find the going tough to recover the production cost. Vidarth's Kollaikaran could have fared better had it been released on some other day instead of during the Pongal eve when major films released.
The least said about Ramarajan's Medhai would be better!

Rio de Janeiro Information, Activities and Attractions
Rio de Janeiro is an inspiring city of contrasts. Impossibly steep granite mountains jut out of the ocean between glorious stretches of golden sand, impeccable colonial buildings nestle in between modern glass skyscrapers and green forests tumble down hillsides into densely populated residential areas.
It is a city high on life, a city of beach worship, football, Samba and Carnival. And high above all this fun and frivolity stands Rio's ever-present, iconic landmark, the statue of Christ the redeemer.
The continuing strength of foreign currencies against the Brazilian Real and the national football team's success in the World Cup have both helped to make Brazil and Rio in particular, an increasingly popular and affordable year-round destination. As well as the city's well-known landmarks of Corcovado and Sugar Loaf mountains, Rio boasts a wealth of attractions and activities, plus great food, music and entertainment.
Situated in southeast Brazil, on the natural port of the Bahia de Guanabara (Guanabara Bay), Rio is a city of over 10 million people squeezed between the ocean and the mountains. The cidade maravilhosa (marvellous city) is a melting pot of cultures and people in varying degrees of wealth or poverty. In Rio, the rich and poor live together and the exclusive areas stand in contrast and close proximity to the slum areas or favelas. Rocinha is the oldest and the largest favela in Rio. It began with just a few houses in the 1950s and now has a population of 160,000. Today it is more like a city within a city!
But no matter what their background or economic standing, the Cariocas, as the citizens of Rio are known, are characterized by passion and enthusiasm for life, which is very clear to see during Rio's famous annual Carnival.
It has taken 500 years for Rio to transform itself into one of the world's greatest cities. On 1 January 1502, Portuguese explorers sailed into Guanabara Bay and named it Rio de Janeiro (River of January), under the mistaken impression that it was an enormous river mouth. The French attempted to gain control of the bay in 1555, but were finally evicted by the Portuguese in 1567.

Located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil. It was built and decorated during a long period (1775 to the end of the 19th century) and combines a Baroque façade with a Neoclassical and Neo- Renaissance. The Candelária Church (Portuguese: Igreja da Candelária) is an important historical church in Renaissance inner decoration.
The chucrh was the site of several significant moments for the contemporary history of Brazil, such as the seventh-day mass of high school student Edson Luís de Lima Souto, and a protest of the Diretas Já campaign attended by over a million people. The area around the church was the site of the Candelária massacre of July 23, 1993, which brought worldwide attention to the issue of police brutality toward street children in Brazil.
Places to See in Rio de Janeiro
Corcovado – Christ the Redeemer
Every year, over 300,000 people visit the statue of Christ using the centenary Corcovado Train, the oldest tourist ride in the country. Once at the top, the huge white statue of Christ the Redeemer pays homage to Rio's religiosity, and has become a symbol of the City and of its people, receiving all visitors with its arms open.
In addition to the wonderful stretch of beach with great surf and umbrellas, gorgeous people to watch, you can wander through the fashionable streets to discover chic boutiques, trendy restaurants and hip cafes. On Sundays, there is a hippie market in Praça General Osório where handcrafts, clothes and souvenirs from Rio can be found.
One of the most famous beaches in the world, Copacabana has the mountains and city behind it and is definitely Rio. Sit at one of the many restaurants along the beachfront to enjoy a batida or caipirinha, or take a stroll on the famous and often imitated Burle Marx designed sidewalks. In summertime, go early as it may be hard to find a spot on the sand. Also, take note that the currents are deceptively strong. A perfect place to eat, drink, relax and people watch.
Carnival is perhaps the largest event in Rio, with venues scattered around town. The highlight is the spectacular samba school parade, a rich and colorful exhibition of 14 groups each day along the street, and the Sambadromo, with seating for the 70,000.
Pão de Açúcar – Sugar Loaf Mountain
One of Rio's most famous landmarks, it's the best place to view the city, sea and mountain ranges. Take the funicular ride up for a glorious view of the Guanabara Bay, Botafogo beach to the North and Copacabana to the South, with the city spread in between. Be sure to check out the old open-air cable car on display that was used in the '30s. There are vendors selling coconuts and juice, as well as a food and refreshments stand.
Pedra da Gávea
Located between São Conrado and Barra da Tijuca, Pedra da Gávea is a granite rock that rises 842 meters above sea level. Originally used as a lookout for ships in the Atlantic, it's now popular with rock climbers and those who want to see the glyphs carved into the rock.
Bonde de Santa Teresa
This cable car is all that remains of what used to be the principal form of transportation in the city. Starting in Lapa, by the Cathedral, cross the towering viaduct to Santa Teresa. Then you have the option to take the ride all the way to the top of the hill, or get off to see the Museu da Chácara do Céu. The views from the top rival those of Corcovado and Sugar Loaf.
Arcos da Lapa
An engineering and architectural construction work that symbolizes Rio de Janeiro's colonial period. It was inaugurated, as reported, in 1750, under the government of Ayres de Saldanha and administered by the engineer José Fernandes Alpoim. It was built in order to end the problem of the constant lack of water in Rio de Janeiro towards the end of the XVIII century.
Parque Nacional and Floresta da Tijuca
The best place to visit to get an idea of what Rio once looked like, with over 46 square miles of tropical rain forest, walking trails, stunning views of the city, waterfalls, creeks and wonderfully varied greenery. This is the largest urban reserve in the world and it only takes about 20 minutes to immerse yourself in nature. Serious hikers can climb to the 3320 feet summit of Pico da Tijuca, while others can simply enjoy the 115 feet waterfall, Cascatinha de Taunay, at the Alto da Boa Vista.
Monumento Nacional aos Mortos da II Guerra Mundial
Located at Avenida Infante Dom Henrique, 75, Parque do Flamengo, this monument is dedicated to those who lost their lives in the WWII European theater of war, especially in Italy. The monument includes a small museum with military artifacts from those dark years, a mausoleum and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and is guarded by the three Armed Forces. Entry is free.

New Delhi, April 27: The Indian Air Force (IAF) pilots braved hostile weather and continued with its search and rescue mission in the quake-hit Nepal.
Sources in the IAF told OneIndia that the first priority of all fixed wing aircraft (over 10 now in operation) is to provide relief and evacuation.
"We have stepped up the mission and many assets have been put on stand-by mode as well. Weather has been a problem since yesterday but that has not deterred the plans. We are mandated to bring to bring back maximum Indians and even other nationals and also provide maximum relief material," an IAF official said.
He confirmed that the IAF pilots have now got a grip over the terrain awareness after yesterday's combines sorties with the Nepali pilots.
As reported in these columns yesterday, the IAF had already positioned six Medium Lift Helicopters tasked with casualty evacuation, rescue and relief missions. They include four Mi 17 V5s and two Mi 17 helicopters.
NDRF sent more men and equipment
Similar to Air Force Station Palam, the IAF's another base at Chandigarh (12 Wing) too is actively participating in the rescue operations. "Already a batch of NDRF personnel and other support teams, including sniffer dogs have landed in Kathmandu from Chandigarh," the official said.
Ministry of Defence Spokesperson Sitanshu Kar said that the IAF will be completed the aborted sorties today.
He said the IAF continued its operations last night despite odds.
The Palam base witnessed many heart-warming scenes last night as anxious relatives eagerly waited for their near and dear ones.
Sources, meanwhile, said that the NDRF is air-lifting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to speed-up the search operations in Nepal.
"This is a standard practice when the communication lines are snapped and the degree of damage is not exactly known. NDRF has trained men to operate the UAVs which have been already put to use during floods," an official said.
