Exclusive: 'Snooper's charter' would not have prevented Woolwich attack, says MI5
Using Drummer Rigby killing to justify extra powers is 'cheap', say security chiefs
Wednesday 29 May 2013
A Conservative-backed plan to allow police and the security services unprecedented access to people's internet communications would not have helped prevent the murder of Lee Rigby, M15 officers have indicated.
Senior security sources have told The Independent that attempts to cite last Wednesday's killing as a reason to push forward with the controversial "snooper's charter" was a "cheap argument".
The remarks will be seen as a rebuke to the Home Secretary, Theresa May, who suggested at the weekend that the Draft Communications Bill was "essential for the intelligence agencies" to combat the threat of terrorism.
In fact, the security source suggested, the Bill would be of greater use to the police in gathering evidence in the early stages of an investigation than it would be in preventing the type of attack seen in Woolwich.
They stressed any decision to proceed with the Bill, which is being blocked by the Liberal Democrats, was a political one and the effect on civil liberties would have to be taken into consideration.
Today, it also emerged that the head of MI5, Andrew Parker, has written to the Parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee setting out what the security services knew about the activities of the Woolwich suspects Michael Adebowale and Michael Adebolajo. This follows talks between Mr Parker and Sir Malcolm Rifkind, the chairman of the committee, last week.
In the wake of the attack it emerged that Adebolajo and Adebowale were both known to MI5 – and may have been approached to act as informers.
Today, Adebowale was taken to a police station in south London after being released from hospital.
He was formally arrested on suspicion of the murder and suspicion of the attempted murder of a police officer.
He will now be interviewed by detectives from the Metropolitan Police Service Counter Terrorism Command.
In an interview, Sir Malcolm insisted that MI5 was not being criticised over the killings. "I don't think they're in the dock. I think that would be very unfair," he said.
"Do remember one fundamental point: the fact we have not had anyone killed until these tragic events in Woolwich since the 7/7 bombings [in London] in 2005 is not because there hasn't been terrorist plots. Every year since 2005 there has been at least one, sometimes two or even more, terrorist plots which were disrupted and prevented from killing British citizens, partly because of the work of MI5 – in some cases very largely because of the work of MI5 – and other intelligence agencies."
Sir Malcolm said he was very confident the committee would get to the bottom of MI5's work related to the Woolwich incident and that Mr Parker had offered him assurances that MI5 would fully co-operate with the investigation. The ISC has Parliament-approved powers to access all relevant files and internal papers from MI5.
Sir Malcolm said that after the ISC deliberations, David Cameron and Parliament would receive a report.
He added that elements of Parliament's report might be redacted for public viewing on the grounds of national security.
Sir Malcolm added that the effect of government spending cuts on the security services would also be analysed during the ISC's review.
"We would be concerned if there were to be any further reduction in resources for the intelligence agencies," he said.
"Whether this is relevant to the Woolwich incident, frankly I'm not going to comment on it at the moment. We will go where the evidence takes us and we will come to a judgement as to whether that is indeed part of the problem, if there was a problem or if it's not relevant to this particular matter."

Strategic and Welfare Implications of Bundling
A standard oligopoly model of bundling shows that bundling by a firm with a monopoly over one product has a strategic effect because it changes the substitution relationships between the goods among which consumers choose. Bundling in appropriate proportions is privately profitable, reduces rivals´ profits and overall welfare, and may drive rivals from the market.Download Info

In response to:
Don't take this as a casual event!
Freedom is not free! Those that would give up liberty to gain a little false security deserve neither [liberty nor security]! - Benjamin Franklin (somewhat paraphrased)
In response to:
The health issue is not guns!
- Guns don't get cancer?
- Guns don't get sick from BAD DRUGS approved by the FDA!
- Guns don't sick from eating the wrong foods!
- Guns don't get fat!
- Guns don't get too skinny!
- Guns don't from overexposure to the F-government!
Not the VAST...VAST!!! MAJORITY law abiding citizens that own guns!
The mental dispossession of Liberal Progressives Socialist Democrats, like Dr. Murthy, is a mental health issue on which the Surgeon General should focus!
In response to:
HE IS LOIS! You still have those Rose Coloured glasses on, dear!
I will not be censored by you Bossy Be-atches!
How's that Sheryl?
OMG! Enemies within!
Obama and the Demoqueer are also enemies within!
Yep, Al-Qaeda is on its heels and in retreat!
Obama and the Liberal Progressive Socialist Party, aka Democrat Party are the largest national security threat to the United States of America.
Someone did a study to find out dumb arsses are really dumb arsses?
Well, we don;t have to do any more studies to find out that the one's that did the study are what they studied!
All you have to do is go out into the crowds and on the streets to know confusion upfront, close and personal! So, that means we smarter people should be able to make more money than we did before!
No wonder Harry Reid is still lying! There is still air to breath!
There is no separation of powers between the executive branch and the senate. Harry Reid is doing Obama's bidding and executing the policies of the Liberal Progressive Leftist Socialist Party!
And, they call me radical? Only because I stand in their way!
Paying off those weaker citizens and some ILLEGAL ALIENS that want hand outs and will take from others without earning anything! Like their King, Obama!
Most of these lesser citizens don't know how ot give anything back...take, take, take!
What's funny is these takers have rights and one of those is the right to vote! Go then and figure!
Obama is not a leader but gives goofballs a bad name!
Obama and the Liberal Progressives have almost destroyed America! It's time for American Patriots to rise up and put Obama out! Holder out! Podesta out! They don't even know how to be good communists! Oh wait? This could be a faint! The event that tips us into communism and Putin is a part of the grand scheme...along with the Chinese...? Take a look and tell me this does not have merit of thought!
These people, Obama, et al are more concerned about themselves than America, her people and her position in the world. If America abdicates her position in the world then that vacuum will attract Russia and China, Iran and others to put the nail in her coffin and its lights out for many American generations! Bin Laden has won!
Obama and the Liberal Progressives are so selfish, immature and weak. Just try calling Putin names! Call him a racist or homophobic! See what that gets us! You lead like a baby girl has tea! It's all in their minds! Fantasy!
So it is said, let it be written! Hail, Obama, King! (until Putin gets hold of the little wimp!)
Obama: a real Narcissist in Chief!

'GMA' poised to snap long 'Today' winning streak
Story Topics
NEW YORK (AP) - The 16-year ratings dominance of NBC's "Today" show, one of television's most epic streaks, has apparently ended.
The Nielsen Co. said Monday that ABC's "Good Morning America" beat NBC's morning show last week by a razor-thin margin of 13,000 viewers _ and ABC owes Tim Tebow a hearty thank you.
The "Today" show had won 852 consecutive weeks in the ratings, a streak that began in December 1995 when Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric were the chief anchors.
The streak was a huge point of pride at NBC as the rest of the network declined. Morning shows are also an important revenue source, and a changing of the guard could have significant financial repercussions. The "Today" show earned an estimated $484 million in revenue in 2011, according to Kantar Media, more than "GMA" ($298 million) and CBS' morning show ($156 million) combined.
NBC this month signed "Today" co-host Matt Lauer to a contract extension that reportedly makes him the highest-paid on-air talent in television news. Lauer, however, was on vacation last week. David Gregory and Carl Quintanilla subbed for him
"Good Morning America" averaged 5.147 million viewers for the week, to the "Today" show's 5.134 million, Nielsen said in its fast national estimate. ABC was cautious in its response because the final ratings aren't due until Thursday and, occasionally, the numbers shift as Nielsen looks for conflicts in local markets.
Co-host George Stephanopoulos tweeted some celebratory remarks, however.
On Twitter, he thanked "GMA" viewers "for giving us a week we'll never forget," adding, "What a milestone!"
"Today" actually won in the ratings three of the five mornings last week. But "Good Morning America" won on Wednesday, when bounced "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Sherri Shepherd was featured, and on Friday, when co-host Robin Roberts traveled to Jacksonville to interview football star Tebow and his mother.
"GMA" beat "Today" by 330,000 viewers on Friday, Nielsen said. The week before, "Today" won on Friday by a margin of 15,000 viewers, a swing that made the difference between winning and losing for the week.
"'Today's' 852-week winning streak had taken on a life of its own and as odd as it is to see it end, we should acknowledge just how remarkable it has been," said Jim Bell, executive producer of the NBC morning show. "So as we tip our caps to the team at `Good Morning America,' we can take also take a bow ourselves and recognize the work done by countless staffers for so long. It is not an overstatement to call it one of the most incredible achievements in television history, one that is not likely to ever happen again."
NBC noted that "Today" still won by 254,000 viewers among 25- to 54-year-olds, the group that its ad sales are based upon. In that demographic, the "Today" show has won for 884 consecutive weeks.
ABC News President Ben Sherwood, a former executive producer at "Good Morning America" in the early 2000s, has made winning in the morning a top priority. It has emphasized a lighter, breezier broadcast, particularly in its second hour, with the team of Stephanopoulos, Roberts, Sam Champion, Josh Elliott and Lara Spencer.
Sensing an opportunity, ABC brought Couric in two weeks ago to sub for the vacationing Roberts. But NBC countered by bringing Sarah Palin in as a one-day "guest host," and the former Alaska governor's popularity helped repel the Couric challenge.
ABC shouldn't count on a long winning streak. With NBC telecasting the London Olympics and "Dancing With the Stars" going on hiatus after next month, "Today" is expected to dominate this summer.
But a big psychological barrier has been broken.

The A's announced a trade Friday morning, sending recently-DFA'd pitcher Trystan Magnuson to the Toronto Blue Jays. The A's announced Thursday that they had designated Magnuson for assignment in a move to clear room on the 40-man roster.
The A's received cash considerations from the Blue Jays for the 26-year-old right-hander, who returns to the club that traded him to Oakland in 2010 for outfielder Rajai Davis. Magnuson made his major league debut with the A's last season, garnering no decisions in nine appearances and a 6.14 ERA. The A's also announced Friday that they have agreed to terms with right-handed pitcher Edgar Gonzalez and infielder Wes Timmons on minor league contracts.

March 6, 2014 - I ordered these bowls and the plates. They are beautiful. Great purchase.
February 15, 2014 - Beautiful little touches to put out for my guests. Love them.
February 14, 2014 - Beautiful bowls to pair with the matching plate. The dimensions are given so stop whining about the size. Certainly you cant expect to order something 4.5" and expect it to be 8" when it arrives! This is the standard size of a Japanese soup bowl.
February 9, 2014 - I REALLY hate to give any item less than 5 stars but I have to be honest. I LOVE the bowl and the color and the dragonflies but I was so disappointed when I saw how small it was! I had been prepared to have a bowl of cereal in it but it would only hold a third of a cup of cereal! Surely the Japanese don't eat that small of portions? If the bowl was a standard cereal size I would love it! That being said I am keeping it because I would never do anything to take away from the dogs but I really wish I could see myself using this pretty bowl...maybe for a dipping sauce?!
February 5, 2014 - nice quality, beautiful color. I gave it as a gift and my friend really enjoyed it.

Abu Dhabi parking system deploys CIC solution
Abu Dhabi, October 16, 2013
Iris Modern Urban Management (IMUM), a company tasked with the management of Abu Dhabi's paid parking system has deployed the Customer Interaction Center (CIC) contact center solution from Interactive Intelligence Group to handle in excess of 30,000 incoming and 10,000 outgoing calls per month and deliver an exemplary level of customer service excellence.
The system which supports agents in both the dedicated contact centre as well as remote customer service locations has been integrated with the central CRM system of Abu Dhabi's Department of Transport (DOT) allowing for seamless flow and access to information. The implementation was carried out by Interactive Intelligence's partner EMW.
The DOT's contract with IMUM for the management of over 95,000 parking spaces placed utmost importance to customer service and required that the CIC system meet a number of stringent Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Of these, were the ability to natively offer dual language support (Arabic and English), to integrate with the client's CRM system and display assimilated information on a single easy-to-read dashboard and to flexibly and dynamically modify the Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system so as to rapidly reflect necessary changes. In line with the DOT's employment policies, CIC caters to employees with special needs working either at the contact center or remotely.
"We had initially outsourced the contact center but soon realised that in doing so we were losing out on a wealth of knowledge in the form of feedback of our customers. A thorough evaluation of the solutions available in the market and the confidence instilled in us by Interactive Intelligence's regional partner EMW led us to select the CIC solution. In just three months of running the solution, we have seen how much more efficient it has made our operations and how much it has improved the service experience for our customers," said James Fraser, operations director at IMUM.
An important factor in the success of the implementation has been the CIC solution's flexibility in resource allocation. After insourcing the contact centre, IMUM quickly realised that despite being a 24/7 service, call volumes peaked between 4 pm and 10 pm whereas the footfall at the customer service locations dropped during this period. Identifying this trend and utilising the system's ability to connect customers to agents at these remote service locations through PC based 'soft phones' eliminated the need to hire additional agents who would have a lower utilization during off-peak periods, the statement said.
The dynamic IVR system has also drastically helped cut down agent interactions and improved resolution times. Of the over 30,000 calls received per month, just over 11,000 are forwarded to agents while the remaining ones are managed by the IVR itself. This has freed up agents to attend to more unique customer problems. The contact centre now registers over 10,000 call backs per month which has been instrumental in improving the customer service experience, it said. - TradeArabia News Service

Markets aren't punishing Obamacare contractors — yet
The companies the Obama administration hired to build the president's new health care website, healthcare.org, have not yet taken a financial hit from the site's failed launch this month.
Executives from CGI Group, Equifax, and Serco Group were in Washington, testifying before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Thursday about the early glitches that have plagued healthcare.org.
The Obama administration has taken a lot of heat for the website's struggles, considering the Affordable Care Act has been billed as President Obama's legacy and crowning achievement. While congressional Republicans are quick to criticize the site's shortcomings, the companies that built the website have not seen their reputations suffer on Wall Street.
Canadian-based CGI Group, whose subsidiary, CGI Federal, participated in building healthcare.org, has seen its stock remain stable. When the health insurance exchanges opened on Oct. 1, CGI's stock opened at $34.83. On Thursday, it closed at $34.43.
In documents released to the House committee, CGI stated that it has received more than $550 million in government contracts since October 2011 from the Department of Health and Human Services, which is responsible for overseeing Obamacare.
Equifax Inc., whose subsidiary, Equifax Workforce Solutions, also helped build the website, has actually seen its stock price rise to $63.74 Thursday from $59.68 on Oct. 1.
Likewise, Serco Group, a third company that helped build the website, has also enjoyed a slight boost in its stock price since Oct. 1, rising to $552.50 Thursday from $548 then.
The fourth company that helped build the website, QSSI/Optum, is not a publicly-traded company.
More generally, the New York Stock Exchange index of health care-related stocks are also up for the opening weeks of the Obamacare insurance exchanges.
The index closed Thursday at 9,763.31, up 100 points for the month and close to the index's 52-week high.

Best of Crash Rallye HD - Compilation 2013 Rally Crashes happened in 2012 and 2013 . Car accidents because of drifts . The production-based cars with 1.6 L direct injection turbo engine and four-wheel drive are built to World Rally Car regulations for racing across tarmac, gravel and snow. The power output is limited to around 300 bhp (225 kW). Current cars in the championship include the Citroën DS3 WRC, Ford Fiesta RS WRC and Mini WRC. The WRC was formerly held for Group A and Group B rallycars. However, due to the increasing power, lack of reliability and a series of fatal accidents on the 1986 season, Group B was permanently banned. Later, in 1997, the Group A cars evolved into the WRC car spec, to ease the development of new cars and bring new makes to the competition. In 2011, new rules were introduced to encourage more manufacturers (and privateers) to take part, because the recent economic downturn had prompted several manufacturers to leave the championship. Cars in the Production Car World Rally Championship are limited to production-based cars homologated under Group N rules. Cars in the Super 2000 World Rally Championship are homologated under Super 2000 rules. Most cars in the Junior World Rally Championship are homologated under Super 1600 rules, but Group N and selected Group A cars can also contest the series. Starting in 2013,a new category of rally cars known as Group R were introdued as a replacement to the Group A and Group N rally categories, with cars classified under one of six categories based on their engine capacity and type, wheelbase, and drivetrain. As a result no cars will be homologated under Group A and Group N regulations and instead will be reclassified under Group R. Parallel to this, the Super 2000 and Production Car World Championships were restructured; Super 2000 and Group N cars were merged into a single championship known as World Rally Championship-2 alongside R4 and R5 cars, whilst the Production Car World Championship was completely reimagined as the World Rally Championship-3 for two-wheel drive cars complying with R1, R2 and R3 regulations. WRC Teams and Drivers 20 different manufacturers have won a World Rally Championship event,[6] and a further ten have finished on the podium.[7] Suzuki and Subaru pulled out of the WRC at the end of the 2008 championship, both citing the economic downturn then affecting the automotive industry for their withdrawal. Mini and Ford both pulled out of the WRC at the end of the 2012 championship, due to a similar economic downturn affecting the European market. A typical WRC team will consist of about 40 people on the events, with a further 60--100 at the team base.[8] Manufacturers and manufacturer-backed teams usually have two or three drivers participating in each rally who are eligible to score points. The total number of crews (driver and his co-driver) in the rallies varied from 47 (Monte Carlo and Mexico) to 108 (Great Britain) during the 2007 season.[9] In 2012, The Ford World Rally Team and The Mini WRC Team both announced their departure from the World Rally Championships for the 2013 season. Volkswagen and Hyundai will make their return to the championship in 2013 and 2014, respectively.Best of Crash Rallye HD Best of Crash Rallye HD Best of Crash Rallye HD Best of Crash Rallye HD Best of Crash Rallye HD Best of Crash Rallye HD Best of Crash Rallye HD Best of Crash Rallye HD Best of Crash Rallye HD crashes from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Italy, England and France with pure engine sounds and the "oiioiioii oyoyoy" guy :D .

Clements S D SD - - 1981
The electrocardiogram is often the key to the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. In order to use it effectively, the clinician must be aware of its limitations. Most importantly, it must be remembered that a single normal electrocardiogram does not exclude myocardial infarction. In addition, certain clinical entities mimic infarction electrocardiographically ...

Venture is an action game in which you control Winky, the heroic adventurer. Your goal is to collect as many treasures as you can which are scattered throughout numerous dungeons. In each dungeon, there are several chambers which each contain a treasure. Armed only with your crossbow, you need to get past the varied creatures which guard the chamber, snag the treasure, and make it out again. When you collect the treasure from each of the chambers in a dungeon, you can then move on to the next, more difficult dungeon.Screenshots

The staff at The 212 Salon work to re-energize and refresh guests with hot stone massages, nail services, and an infrared sauna. Stylists use highlighting and perming techniques to transform the color and texture of tresses while aestheticians smooth complexions with three types of facials. Nails can also be altered into a better version of themselves after technicians file and buff the digits before coating with a chip-resistant shellac polish or adding length with tips. Along with hosting ladies nights and birthday parties, the salon pampers clients with makeup tips using hypoallergenic Tigi Cosmetics as well as keeping their retail area stocked with hair care from Aquage, Joico, and Kenra.
Indigo Salon and Spa's troupe of stylists, aestheticians, and massage therapists rejuvenates and beautifies guests within elegant environs decked in wood, leather, and chiffon to achieve a rich, shabby-chic vibe. Thermal wraps and spa treatments slough off the stress of everyday life or a single day of lion taming, and shelves lined with bath bombs, soaks, and scrubs proffer take-home tranquility.
Sizeable mirrors, framed in white and affixed to light cream walls, reflect tresses mid-transformation as guests lounge in white leather styling seats alongside Paul Mitchell products. Chandeliers illuminate stylists' fingers, and diaphanous draperies separate workstations. In the lobby, waiting clients can nibble treats or sip steamy mugs from the coffee and tea bar as they bask in the glow of a candle-filled fireplace or burn a piece of paper with the name of their old stylist on it.
Allurea Salon & Spa's staffers don't just cut and color hair—they help restore it with laser treatments that target balding areas on the scalp. They can certainly appreciate a full head of hair, as they spend much of the day straightening and texturizing locks or sewing in extensions for added length. At the same time, the team understands that hair doesn't always grow where you want it, which is why Allurea includes waxing alongside the makeup applications and mani-pedis that fill out its service menu.
The Great Clips empire spans more than 3,000 salons across North America, where a collective of over 30,000 stylists wait, ready to tend to hairstyles. At these salons, no appointments are necessary—though an online check-in system aids those who wish to skip any potential lines by adding their names directly to the haircut queue. And to aid their new hairstyles, customers can peruse a line of gels, conditioners, pomades, and tea-tree oil shampoos and body washes.
Enthusiastic nail technicians at Graffitti's Hair & Nail Salon set vibrantly colored trends with glamorous nail treatments. Technicians buff fingernails into attractive shapes and tame cuticles with careful precision. Then, nail artists apply the client's choice of OPI or China Glaze nail products. Clients can make their fingers and toes shine together with like-minded colors, or indulge in multi-hued shellac finishes that catch eyes, turn necks, and challenge the faith of all paint-by-number enthusiasts. Upgrades for french tips ($5) and nail art ($5+) are also available.
For the last decade, the staff at Tavernier's Salon & Spa has revitalized appearances and moods with a slew of salon and spa services. Defined by its brightly colored walls and artwork composed of primary yellows and reds, the interior is home to a team of diligent stylists, aestheticians, and massage therapists.
Tavernier's hairstylists wield Redken and Matrix products with full-color treatments and strategically placed highlights to add depth to monochromatic hairdos. Nail technicians prettify appendages with Opi polish and soothing, hydrating dips into paraffin wax, and skincare specialists administer facials such as the one-hour basic European facial, which opens up pores like they're interviewees on Oprah so that they release their pent-up dirt and leave with a cathartic sense of cleansing and exfoliation.

An Australian "whisky lookalike" that claims to "evoke the flavour of the Highlands" has ruffled the kilts of the proud Scots who distil the real dram.
The Scotch Whisky Association fears shoppers might be confused or deceived about what they're getting for their $10 when they buy bottles of MacGowans at The Mill Liquor Save.
The Mill has been selling the whisky-flavoured drink, which has a 13.9 per cent alcohol content, for about two years.
Its application to register MacGowans as a trademark has been accepted, but the Scotch Whisky Association, whose members produce more than 90 per cent of Scotch whisky, has appealed against the decision.
In the High Court at Wellington yesterday, the association's lawyer agreed that, even if it won, the cheaper, weaker, brown drink would still be sold at The Mill.
However, it could become the basis for a Fair Trading Act case.
If the MacGowans name was trademarked, it might stop Scotch whisky with a similar "Mac" or "Mc" name being sold in New Zealand, lawyer Greg Arthur argued.
Justice Stephen Kos, who admitted having shopped for whisky, said his thinking was still "reasonably fluid" on the case and he would give his decision in writing.
Mr Arthur said the use of a "Mac" or "Mc" name in connection with whisky linked it to Scotland but, at $9.99 a bottle, people might be aware they were not getting top-quality Scotch whisky.
The Mill's lawyer, Simon Elliot, said the MacGowans name alone did not prove consumers would think they were buying whisky.
The association had not put forward any evidence about what New Zealand consumers thought of Mac or Mc names.
It had belatedly put forward evidence of confusion about MacGowans, but without saying whether it was the name or the surrounding circumstances that caused confusion.
Whisky or whiskey is made from fermented grain mash.
Different grains are used for different varieties.
All whiskies must be distilled at a minimum of 40 per cent alcohol by volume.
MacGowans, made in Melbourne, describes itself as "finest distilled spirit blended to evoke the flavour of the Highlands".
It is made of an unnamed spirit, sugar, colour and flavouring. It contains 13.9 per cent alcohol by volume.
Scotch whisky (made in Scotland) is spelled without an e. It is made mostly from malted barley.
The Scotch Whisky Regulations 2009 state that Scotch must be produced at a distillery in Scotland from water and malted barley, be processed at a single distillery, be wholly matured in Scotland in oak casks for at least three years, and comprise a minimum alcoholic strength by volume of 40 per cent.
Irish whiskey must be distilled and aged in Ireland, and be aged for at least three years in wooden casks.
