We care, but can we keep the human rights torch burning?
We've yet to prove that we have compassion for victims, argues Conor Gearty
The dreadful power of Nato should turn to detection as well as destruction. When the horror has spent itself, the trial of alleged wrongdoers before an international forum should be a sine qua non of any settlement. There should be no waiting 50 years this time, as there was with Sawoniuk. but even if there is, then such prosecutions should occur. Impunity is the enemy of justice, and no killer should be able to rest this side of the grave.
That the Kosovan tragedy is seen so immediately as a human rights issue is a remarkable advance in international thinking in just a very short space of time. When the Balkan wars returned in earnest at the start of this decade, much of the talk was of macro-political matters. The peoples of the region counted not as truly human but as odd-shaped pieces in a complex diplomatic jigsaw puzzle that only experts could solve.
This view has now been transcended by the scale of the Kosovan tragedy. A remarkable feature of the human rights response to the current crisis has been that it has reached well beyond humanitarian hand-wringing and calls for future prosecutions, and directly addressed the Belgrade war machine which is the core power behind the alleged genocide. If it is indeed true that the Nato action is designed to stop international war crimes, much as a police officer would arrest a criminal gang intent on murder, then there has been an extraordinary deepening in our approach to the international protection of human rights. This move towards a more human rights-centred international legal order has been proceeding on a number of fronts. The Pinochet case, the Sawoniuk conviction for war crimes and the handover of the Lockerbie suspects are indications of this, as was the earlier establishment of war crimes tribunals in respect both of Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia and the recent agreement to set up an international criminal court.
If this new human rights perspective is to last, it needs to be protected from political exploitation and consequent public cynicism. It is easy to be moral about human rights when the language suits wider diplomatic and national aims, but righteousness should be an awkward absolute, not a means to an end. Why have the Lockerbie suspects been handed over when no similar investigations have been conducted into the controversial American air-raids on Libya in 1986, which reportedly killed some 37 people and injured 90? If every victim really matters, should not the international community hunt down with equal assiduity those responsible for the killing of thousands of Palestinians in the Beirut refugee camps in September 1982? And is there not now enough evidence to respond more decisively to China's continuing actions in Tibet, and to Indonesia's occupation of East Timor, where the worst army massacre for eight years has just been reported? Does it matter that the Chinese prime minister Zhu Rongji has last week been feted rather than arrested in the US?
The point is not the facile one that Nato should happily bomb the world for a moral end or apprehend world leaders in post. The exposure of double standards is an inevitable part of the process of moving the international order from one set of paradigms to another. But we need to be told what the legal basis is for the bombing of Belgrade, and if there is none, then what are the principles that purportedly legitimise the destruction. Surely it is more than the exercise of raw Nato power? If that is all that it is, why should international law bind only the Serbian government, but not Nato? If China, Indonesia and other human rights transgressors are not to be bombed, as assuredly of course they should not be, what Western response would be proportionate to their alleged assaults on human rights? A new international legal order based on human rights will only operate effectively when it is inconvenient and serves no ulterior aim. In this regard the Pinochet case is the true trail-blazer, since it has been initiated and managed entirely by the judiciary in both Spain and the UK. As such it has been wholly independent of government, and in its processes and emphasis on unglamorous legal argument most closely resembled the paradigm of how international law might with luck gradually develop.
Mirroring this subconscious ambivalence about human rights at the international level is a cultural split closer to home. The British public seems very happy to reach into its pocket to send large sums to Kosovo for the relief of distress. Like the nations bombing Belgrade, we are more than happy to care about human rights where this involves no great inconvenience to ourselves. But human rights is about more than the purchase of cheap moral absolution. We excoriate Macedonia for being unwilling to receive the refugees from across their border without knowing the slightest thing about the country's population, its delicate ethnic balance and above all its poverty. When British citizens of Asian origin were expelled from Kenya and Uganda 30 years ago, we passed special legislation to keep them out, laws later condemned as explicitly racist by the European Commission on Human Rights.
A genuine belief in human rights and dignity has an unavoidable but (for many) unpalatable political dimension. A tiny fraction of our huge wealth goes towards the kind of aid countries such as Macedonia need, but how many of us would willingly pay a new world development tax, or even campaign to free the world's poor from the debt in which the rich West has ensnared them? If more state-backed aid is too much to ask for, what about the civil liberties of refugees? Every year in Britain thousands of asylum seekers are held in detention without charge pending the processing of their applications. Others are deprived of the means of a decent life in this country through the withdrawal of state aid and the throwing of obstacles in the way of their applications to remain here.
While we bomb Belgrade to protect the Kosovans, Parliament is being asked to pass a new bill on immigration and asylum which will make it even harder for those fleeing persecution abroad to be able to settle here. History might judge us as harshly as we judge the Belgrade public now if we turn our backs on those fleeing human rights abuses across the world at exactly the moment when we say that human rights have never mattered more.

We stayed at Whispering Pines in August for 2 weeks, shortly before Hurricane Irene hit the region. We're so glad to see the property is up and running, and apparently has survived no worse for wear. This place is absolutely charming, so comfortable and thoughtfully furnished and well-maintained. It was exactly what we needed to escape our hectic and nature-deprived lives in the city. Nearby Lowell Lake is fabulous for hiking and swimming. Local farmers' markets are great. We did a whole lot of nuthin', which was just what the doctor ordered. Also, the owner is extremely helpful and friendly. Thank you! We hope to be back!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We stayed for 2 nights mid June 2011 and had a wonderful experience at this cabin. It is located in the woods with plenty of places to explore, a great brook in the back yard with some minnows swimming by. The owner was very accommodating and the cabin had all of the necessities and more. A great get away especially with a kid.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, families with teenagers, families with young children, adventure seekers.

Thank you so much for enabling us to create such wonderful memories at your cabin for our honeymoon. We are certainly going to be in touch with you sometime about a repeat visit!!! My wife and I (wow that is still weird to say) must thank you for the bottle of wine as that was a very nice gesture. You have a lovely spot in the middle of an amazing place and we can't wait to return someday. We also agreed that once we have children it will also be a great place to bring them as well. Again, thank you so much for doing what you do. We agreed that it was the PERFECT honeymoon for us and our little slice of heaven that we know we can and WILL retreat back to again and again.Did you find this review helpful?

Thank you so much for opening your wonderful Vermont getaway to us. What a wonderful setting and so cozy and everything you need and want so carefully arranged. We loved the decor and the layout. The weekend was a great combination of relaxing and exploring the area. We snow shoed around Lake Lowell, checked out the town, got some great bread at the Baba Louie bakery and went to Weston on Sunday. We have gone to the Weston Priory in years past and really enjoy the service there. On the way home we went to the Vermont Country Store and the restaurant next door. A really nice last day for our weekend.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Our 4 day stay at Whispering Pines in October 2007 was THE perfect, cozy log cabin experience. We used the location as our base as we travelled on all the backroads through the area - "leaf peeping", antiquing, visiting small towns and villages. The cabin is well-equipped - an ideal setting for a delightful Vermont vacation.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

European stocks weaken on U.S. budget concern

LONDON Nov 16 (Reuters) - European shares extended losses on Friday, led by the banking sector, in tandem with weakness on Wall Street as a result of persistent concern about the U.S. fiscal policy outlook.
The FTSEurofirst 300 was down 0.8 percent at 1,069.94 by 1515 GMT, within a whisker of the day's low, while the Dow Jones industrial average traded down 0.3 percent.
The STOXX Europe 600 Banking index, meanwhile, was down 1.4 percent.
Investors worried about the potential impact of the U.S. "fiscal cliff" of spending cuts and tax hikes due to kick in early 2013, as President Barack Obama and congressional leaders prepared for budget and tax talks on Friday.
"As soon as America opened... the sellers have been coming in," Will Hedden, trader at IG in London, said.
"We've hardly been talking to anyone about what's going on in Europe - everyone's worried about America, and I think it's going to continue."

Questioning my gender identity. What does it feel like to be a man? (self.OneY)

This is the problem with feminism. If you are young (and yes 19 is young) and aren't well established in your understanding of life (I am almost 27 and trust me, there are WORLDS you will experience in the next 8 years), then you are subject to being taught how to feel about life. The problem is that you haven't had enough experiences as a male to base any opinions off of while you are hearing the feminist viewpoints. You have an androgynous point of view, and hearing the female points is skewing your mindset to think that way.
As a male that identifies fully as a man, I can tell you that when I was just a shy bit younger than you I was very similar in that while I was interested in females I had NEVER even attempted to speak to one in a flirtatious manner, never mind ask one out. I often felt like I was a very sensitive male that understood women's needs well (and I was able to give male friends relationship/courtship advice that was successful, even though I had myself never attempted it). I could even have been heard explaining myself to be "a lesbian in a man's body". I was not macho. I still am not macho, except maybe I have become a bit in the past decade.
It took until I had a real group of friends that I hung out with and got introduced to new people that I finally found a girl that was interested in me that I could be interested in too. It was her obvious interest in me that allowed me to take the lead and flirt, ask her out, etc. Certainly I was nervous and not the definition of an "alpha male", but I did take the initiative and went for it. After that, a more male mindset fell into place. Some of that could have been my unrelated life experiences at that age, but I do think a lot of definition in gender comes from how one interacts with the other gender. I for the first time had someone to be protective of, give support to, who I could relate to better/on a deeper level than most other people, etc. and I naturally wanted to feel her tits and stick my big throbbing cock in her pussy and fuck her so she knew she was mine -- BINGO, I'm a man who wants to dominate a woman on a very primal level -- but only on top of the "mattress" of safety that is a loving relationship. I have never been the type to have a one night stand, and went 5 years after my breakup with this girl with no sex because I couldn't find a relationship where I was emotionally attached enough for it. I am not the typical definition of a man. I am not a man-whore who seeks women out for sex. I am not so into porn that I jack off to weird shit and get more and more kinky. I like the basics. I do enjoy beer, whiskey, guns, shit blowing up, and contraptions, etc. but on a much smaller level than other guys I know. I thoroughly enjoy cooking and have since I was a wee child. I had no qualms doing chores such as vacuuming. Pair that and the longer-than-average time it took for me to have the thought "hey, tits are pretty awesome" and my dad was getting a bit worried I might be gay.
I'm just trying to get at that I am not overly-manly. But I am a man. I could once identify with you more, but I grew out of it and perhaps you will too. I think the important thing is that genders are just stereotypes. Just like stereotypes they exist because they are true more often than not. But that doesn't mean that everyone necessarily fits into one more than the other. Don't worry so much about being a guy or a girl in a male body. Just be you. You have a male body and you enjoy (the thought of) sex with women. Go ahead and explore that. You are very sensitive to the mindset of women. Okay, that just makes you sensitive and understanding. Just experience life and who cares if your brain has a vagina instead of a dick? You're you and this is 2013, you don't need to be a macho alpha male just because you have a dick.

Haha, excellent! Agree, agree, agree.
I have a memory from college where some of my fellow computer science majors told me "you're not allowed to call yourself a nerd because you're not nerdy enough," but I also wasn't allowed to call myself an outdoors guy or a sports guy because I wasn't super-duper into all those things either to the extent of some people, either. Screw it, do the things you really enjoy...

Injured England international David Flatman could make a dramatic return in time for Bath Rugby's opening Heineken Cup clash with French side Bourgoin.
The 24-year-old has been out of action since picking up an Achilles injury during the West Country side's march to Twickenham last season and had been expected to be sidelined until at least Christmas.
But now the 18st 7lb powerhouse plans to reclaim his starting berth before the European season kicks off.
Flatman is set to go under the knife to cure the problem and boost Bath's forward power ahead of their Pool 2 campaign.
And physio at the Rec Chris Mallac confirmed the Bath faithful could look forward to the tighthead taking the field within three months, but insisted the scrum linchpin would not be rushed.
'I would say that he could be back within 12 weeks,' said Mallac. 'Although we will not rush him.'
Mallac also confirmed that Flatman would probably still undergo an operation following further scans.
'It is the best case scenario,' he said. 'However David will return to the specialist today to have a further scan as a precaution to see whether there is a slight tear further up the tendon, but the specialist is confident that he will not find one.'
Former champions Bath return to European rugby's highest stage after missing out on the past two seasons but face a daunting prospect up against the likes of Irish giants Leinster, French outfit Bourgoin and Italian champions Benetton Treviso.

Wanna be a standout in the babysitting pool? Be dependable. Always return phone calls right away—parents are usually in a time crunch and appreciate a quick response. Arrive on time, or better yet, early. Go over details, like where the parents can be reached. Get a cell phone or pager if they have one. Be presentable. No point showing up dressed like Britney Spears. Leave playing dress-up to the kiddies. Wear your comfiest clothes—and ones you don't mind messing up a bit. Kids and parents like sitters who aren't afraid of finger paints and mud pies. Wear sneaks, and go easy on the jewelry. You don't want to hook Becky's braids in all 12 bracelets. Ouch! Get the rules straight. Most parents will tell you if there's specific info for the night, but it never hurts to ask. Some sitters keep babysitting notebooks with a page or two for each family. On your first visit, get the house rules. Take notes and bring your book with you until you're down with the drill Be inquisitive. There are a few important questions you should always ask. Write them in your notebook: Do any of the kids have food or other allergies? Are certain shows or videos off-limits? Do the children take any medications? Does the house have an alarm and will it be set? Respect the fam's stuff. Just because you've been hired as head of household, you don't get a green light to closet shop, snoop on the medicine cabinets, pry into photo albums, peek at mail, or call your new e-pal in Italy. Parents who come home earlier than planned are awesome—unless you're sporting Mrs. Smith's floor-length sequin-number while booking flights to Puerto Rico on Mr. Smiths' state-of-the-art laptop. Clean up. Leave the house looking like it did when you arrived. Pick up toys, games, food, and clothes. Clean the counter tops and floors of Spaghetti-O spots and Dorito crumbs. If you really wanna score bonus points, do something extra, like run and empty the dishwasher—parents love this one! Suzin, mother of a 3-year-old, agrees, "Although I don't expect my sitter to clean, my husband and I once had a group of friends over for cocktails and then we all went out from our house. When we got home, she'd taken it upon herself to pick up and wash all the dishes we used. It really made us value her even more." One more tiny tip. Kids are people (just temporarily mini), so treat them like people. Don't flaunt your four hours of power. No one likes a bossy babysitter. And, remember, dictators can be overthrown at any time. Be fair, yet firm when the time calls for it.

Nine Lebanese men remain hostage in Syria; families demand action
Incarcerated since May of 2012, families growing restive over loved ones
Nine Lebanese men, taken hostage in Syria, have remained in custody since May of last year. The families of the men have grown agitated, calling for boycotts of Turkish products and sealing shut the Turkish Airlines office in Beirut in protest. "No one is doing anything to secure their release, and we hold Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia responsible for the situation," a brother of one of the detainees says.
A group known as the Azaz Northern Storm Brigade, which controls most of the Aleppo region along the Turkish border has claimed responsibility for the abductions.
The ordeal began when dozens of Lebanese men and women were travelling by bus through Syria on their way back to Lebanon from a Shia pilgrimage in Iran on May 22, 2012. After crossing the Turkish border into the Aleppo district, the bus was ambushed by two dozen armed men, who forced the passengers to dismount at gunpoint.
After removing 11 of the men, they told Hayat Awali, the woman leading the pilgrimage, to report the kidnapping at the nearest police station.
"They said they would hold the men hostage to exchange them for two Syrians currently in Syrian prison," Awali told Al Jazeera. "They said because we are Shia we can get Hezbollah to pressure the Syrian government.
"They never accused us of being members of Hezbollah, but just that we are from the same sect."
In protest, residents of Beirut's southern suburbs took to the streets, burning tires and blocking roads. Government officials and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah appealed for calm, asking all residents to go home.
Information leaked out that the pilgrims would be released via Turkey, and that former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri had commissioned his private plane to fly them to Lebanese soil later the same day. The kidnappers then changed their minds.
A group known as the Azaz Northern Storm Brigade, which controls most of the Aleppo region along the Turkish border has claimed responsibility for the abductions.
The group's leader, Abu Ibrahim accused the hostages of "suspicious activities" around Aleppo, refusing to release them.
"They are not members of Hezbollah . They kidnapped my brother because he is Shia, and that's it," a family member said.
"What they have done is affecting us, the families; not Hezbollah, and not the Lebanese government," said Shoaib. "My mother is now in hospital every few days because of this."
The group has played a "cat and mouse" game with the local media, announcing the release of the hostages within days - only to break off the agreement when the time draws nigh.
Two of the original 11 hostages have been released, but so far there have been no indications the others will be set free anytime soon.

I went yesterday and was pushed by the waiter toward main meal including veal,shrimps and pasta in a creamy sauce,$32.00 the plate, I was not sure it seemed too much for me but he insisted that I would miss on something so I believed him, the veal was very nice, the shrimps overcooked, as for the pasta it was bland and the creamy sauce non existant, I should have return my plate but I was not hungry anymore at that point ,so we went for a dessert the waiter brought a nice plate to show us the assortment they had, I took a creme brulé , yes only a creme brulé, what was not my surprise when the bill came it was $12,00, in all it costed for two $120.00 + tip no wine included, its a bring your own wine, next time I want to pay such a price I will go to a very renowned restaurant where I will not be dissapointed and pay about the same price. I will never set foot in that restaurant again. In my opinion this restautant is a real rip off.

Dorothy Pearl (Easley) Robinson, age 82, of Baxter Springs, Kan., passed from this life of natural causes Tuesday, Nov. 13th, 2012, at 12:35 a.m. at the Quaker Hill Manor in Lowell, Kan.
Dorothy was born on Oct. 23rd, 1930, to Earl Carmen and Jenny Mary (Dunaway) Easley, at Galena, Kan., in Cherokee County. Dorothy attended Baxter Springs Schools.
She married Robert Darius Robinson (Bob) Aug. 30th, 1949, in Bentonville, Ark. He preceded her in death Feb. 27th, 1982.
Also preceding her in death are her parents, Earl and Jenny Easley; an infant brother, Emmett Easley; four sisters, Blanche Lamb, Lorene Smith, Rachel Hill and Louise Barnett Trogdon; and Dorothy's third grandson, Timothy Jared Shears. What a reunion they are having!
Survivors include two children residing in Galena: one son, Robert (Dave) Robinson and wife, Mary; and one daughter, Kathy (Robinson) Shears and husband, Tim; four grandchildren, Robert (Jason) and wife, Katrin (VanDusen) Robinson, of Branson, Mo., Jamison Scott Robinson, of Sunnyside, Queens, N.Y., (T.J. in Heaven) and Shannon Leigh (Shears) Thomas, of Joplin, Mo.; and four great-grandchildren, Tyler Gideon Rainey and Tristan Walker Shears, Colton Wade and Graydon Shan Thomas (Grady), Emerson Scott, Lila Rae and Rowan David Robinson, who is on the way.
During her adult life, Dorothy worked as a telephone operator, as a seamstress at Lerner's Shirt Factory, in the kitchen at Baxter Memorial Hospital's Cafeteria and as the attendant at the Baxter Laundromat until she retired. Dorothy enjoyed being an active member of Tennessee Prairie Church at Galena, and the yearly trips to Branson with Aunt "Wese" until entering the nursing home. Mom has left a legacy of dedication to God, family and friends. We will miss her twinkling eyes and shyly guarded laughter. We will remember past birthdays, holidays and church dinners that always included Dorothy's famous fried chicken, brownies and/or chocolate cake with white icing and Thanksgiving sweet potatoes. But Christmas Eve at Grandma's house, meant homemade Christmas candy, old fashioned fudge (the hard kind with pecans in every bite) off the old cocoa can recipe and the grand finale: theatre productions starring the grandchildren. This year she is giving thanks and celebrating her first Christmas in Heaven.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Friday, Nov. 16, at the Tennessee Prairie Church. Pastors Dave and Mary Robinson will officiate. Burial will follow in the Baxter Springs Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Tennessee Prairie Church for distribution to Blessing Exchange and Word In Action Ministries.

Five outsourcing trends to watch
- 11 May, 2012 02:25
1. Smaller Deals. A decade-long decline in the size of IT services contracts continues. While the number of mega-deals and midrange contracts awarded each year has remained fairly stable since 2002, the number of those worth $100 million or less has more than tripled, according to outsourcing consultancy Information Services Group (formerly TPI).
2. New Pricing Models. With continued pressure on their profit margins, outsourcing providers are considering more innovative--and often riskier--engagement models, including joint ventures, business-outcome-based pricing, revenue-sharing arrangements, and dedicated centers of excellence.
3. Multi-Sourcing Wranglers. CIOs have largely rejected broad, single-source deals in favor of a best-of-breed outsourcing model that uses a variety of specialty firms. But that doesn't mean they've figured out how to manage the multi-sourcing beast. Some IT organizations are hiring people to bring the necessary management skills in-house. But IT service providers are also setting themselves up as services integrators that will oversee multiple providers and manage end-to-end delivery. Time will tell how well this fox-watching-the-henhouse model plays out.
4. Increased Focus on Security. It's only a matter of time before a major IT service provider suffers a public security breach. Outsourcing companies are looking for new and better ways to protect data--their own and their customers'--says Mark Ruckman, an independent outsourcing consultant at Sanda Partners. In the meantime, security liability limits have become one of the most contentious negotiation issues between outsourcing customers and vendors today.
5. Cloudsourcing. The outsourcing deal pipeline is getting a boost from such next-generation delivery models as cloud offerings and remote infrastructure management, says consultancy Everest Group. Service providers are trying to address some of the technical and perception issues that have delayed widespread adoption of cloud services.
