It's official: IntelNews has joined the WordAds program, which is offered by WordPress.com, the company that hosts intelNews' interface. WordPress began offering WordAds in late October 2011, in cooperation with Federated Media. But the company is quite selective as to which of its blogs are allowed to participate in WordAds. In January of this year, we received a formal invitation from WordPress, telling us that WordPress content editors "had had [their] eye" on intelNews and thought we would be a good fit for the new program. We applied on January 13, and our application went through a period of stringent evaluation, which examined our "level of traffic and engagement, type of content, and language used". Our approval means that you will now see limited advertising blurbs or images at the bottom of blog posts; this will help us cover some of the costs associated with running this site. We thought carefully before joining WordAds, and we paid particular attention to retaining intelNews' simple and uncluttered design. So far the ads hosted seem to be in good taste and relatively unobtrusive. If this changes, we'll drop the program.
April 13, 2012
On the week of the anniversary of the Holocaust, intelNews Senior Editor Dr Joseph Fitsanakis has given a video interview to The Bristol Herald Courier on the subject of what we need to remember from that political and moral tragedy. The Holocaust was technically the intensification of the Nazi human extermination program, which was first implemented in the 1930s against people with disabilities, homosexuals, and political minorities. It later culminated by encompassing ethnic Jews in Germany and Nazi-occupied Europe. In the 15-minute interview, the Holocaust is examined as a collective failure of the conscience of the world, not just of the Nazis, but of all those nations and peoples that collaborated with them or refused to help the victims of Nazi extermination. Moreover, the Holocaust is discussed within the context of state terrorism, of which the Nazi administration of Adolf Hitler was a prime example. The interview is available on YouTube and on The Bristol Herald Courier website, here.

From the moment of its creation, in 2008, intelNews has focused more on quality than on numbers. We are primarily interested in excellence of content, rather than astronomical visitor numbers. We have thus concentrated on reaching a specialized readership of intelligence and security professionals, as well as lay-readers with a sophisticated, multi-leveled interest in issues around intelligence and espionage. It has always been our conviction that, if quality is achieved, the numbers will inevitably follow. To prove the point, we are happy to announce that, on June 24, 2011, we marked 3,000,000 visitor hits since our inception, in November of 2008. We are grateful to everyone who has included this site to his or her daily Internet surfing routine, everyone who has consciously spread the word about our effort, as well as to those 'established' sites that have honored us by providing links to this blog. Most of the success of intelNews has been through word-of-mouth, rather than through any consistent promotional effort or advertising on our part. This, we believe, is the best guarantor of our continued success in the future.

I love this! Thanks for sharing!!!
I'm not familiar with the MAPS section. Could you tell me what that stands for? I'm assuming a district assessment you use.
We use so many ... DIBELS, Galileo, STAR Reading, STAR Math. Perhaps I could take out the MAPS and put our district assessments in that area.
ChrisI am your newest follower and I love your parent teacher conference guide. We test our kiddos with MAP as well so this is perfect! When you get a chance come over to my blog and have a look!

Mind Wondrin -
The return to London
This wasn't a band unaffected by problems to the flow and this is a problematic show overall, though known for a great Mexicali.
Except for a B+ Jack Straw the best tracks have been released on DP7. The whole show has never circulated in AUD or SBD. Seems odd. Surely somebody out there has a dusty hissy AUD full of ambient cockney interjections."Royt, look et me 'ands, mite. Thar in foyv plices at once!"
So, it's not bad, just not as good as the next two nights of the run. Of what circulates:
1st Set: B-
2nd Set: C+
3 Stars (2 1/2, or average show, plus 1/2 for the Mexicali)
Scarlet - Funky and fast
Mexicali - they played this almost every show in '74 and never better than this
Deal - Was getting played a little less in '74 but this is a top-5 version of the year.
Cliff Hucker -
Not much here...
This is a mailed in show that borders on being a complete train wreck. There is really very little to redeem this performance. The rendition of Scarlet Begonias (included in DP #7) is certainly nothing special. The highlight of the set, a somewhat unique Truckin' > Jam, lacks intensity and is fairly average for the period. At least twice during the abreviated performance, Weir feels compelled to apologize to the audience for the late start. He attributes the delay to equipment problems (generator?), but given the state of mind of the band, excessive drug use (even for the Grateful Dead), and a ritual stash burning prior to the show, it's pretty obvious that there is more going on here than some qwipment issues. In an obvious attempt to compensate for the poor performance, the band peforms a double encore, but it can't save this show. (88 pts)

The Big Top went up Thursday.
Even before that time, dozens of people assembled in the morning at Lakeview Park in Conneaut to watch the Kelly Miller Circus come to town.
Sandra Baldwin of Conneaut was at the park with her 3-year-old granddaughter, Haylee Baldwin. "We wanted to watch them raise the Big Top," she said.
Some of the spectators were disappointed that machines, not elephants, were used to set up the Big Top as billed.
Rebecca Ostroff, a tour guide and aerialist for the circus, said elephants weren't used because of legal questions.
Nancy Guthrie, pastoral assistant at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Conneaut — the circus' sponsor — cited an erroneous email regarding the use of elephants. The Conneaut Police Department is investigating, she said.
In advance of the circus' arrival, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals announced they had advised City Manager Tim Eggleston and Police Chief Charles Burlingham to be on the lookout for the use of bullhooks by handlers to control elephants, a device outlawed in Ohio. Burlingham said he would investigate any complaints. None had arrived by early Thursday afternoon, he said.
A similar notice was sent to officials in Orwell, where the circus will pitch its tent today, according to the PETA statement.
Visitors to the circus saw workers and heavy equipment put up the huge tent like they do every day in small communities across the country. Ostroff said the circus needs only a relatively small piece of land and a fresh water source.
"We bring everything else," she said.
A group of area residents circled Ostroff as she explained circus life. Many then wandered the grounds, looking at the elephants and checking out the large tent.
"We are traveling together for 38 weeks," said Ostroff of the 96-member circus that performs 520 shows a year. "We are on the same team."
Crew and participants come from around the world, including South Africa, Argentina, Mexico, Peru, France and across the United States, Ostroff said.
A circus employee arrives 24 hours ahead of the circus to do logistical work, Ostroff said. Mechanics are on staff to fix broken equipment, she said.
Elephants, tigers, zebras and many other animals are involved in a variety of acts.
"I like the whole traveling familial experience," Ostroff said of her life on the road.
The Kelly Miller Circus is based in Hugo, Okla.

Cheat Sheet Q & A-
I have a 10 year old car that is owned outright. I don't care to carry collision because of the cost of collision insurance and the value of my car. What is the minimum coverage I have to carry by
Bottom Line: The answer is $10,000 & $10,000. The state of
Here's a consideration for you. If you are choosing to go with minimums, do you have anything to lose? We may tend to think of insurance based on the value of a vehicle but the risk of loss is much higher. If you don't have assets to lose – then it may be a good solution for you to go with your minimums. If you do have savings and assets you could lose if your insurance coverage doesn't cover your liability if you caused an accident – it could be a really bad idea to go with the minimums as victims could pursue you personally for damages not covered by insurance coverage.
For any other questions here is the direct link to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles:
If you have a question or topic email me: email@example.com
The danger of the AP Twitter hack attack going forward:
Bottom Line: So what was the motivation of the Twitter hack attack on AP yesterday? Was it just to prank and cause a stir by saying the White House had been bombed and the President injured? Much more likely it was to capitalize on the disruption to the financial markets.
A Syrian based hack attack group has taken credit for the hack attack. Maybe they are the group responsible but… There likely was a money trail attached to the attack.
What was the motive for the target of the attack (AP) the medium used (Twitter) and the nature of the falsehood (attack on White House and President)? Twitter is often used as a leading breaking news indicator which would be the most effective way to create short term volatility and reaction in financial markets. AP as a credible news source would serve as the perfect host for the false info and what better target for fear than an attack on the White House itself? Put it altogether and you've got a quick cocktail to create a big negative reaction in the financial markets.
There are numerous theories regarding the actual group behind the hack attacks. Even if it was the Syrian group, were they paid off and by whom? Some believe there are ties to the mafia (here and/or abroad). Foreign hedge funds and/or Governments. Some of these theories are based on some of the trading activity before and after the attacks. Here is how this could have worked…
Right before the hack attack:
During attack:
The result would be 5 minutes of super profitable ill gotten gains. What's worse is that it worked. This a like a market wide version of insider trading for anyone capable of pulling it off. Because of the success of the attack we're likely to see an increase in this type of activity – especially because of the difficulty in piecing everything together. Insider trading is the most difficult case to build and prove and that's when you've identified the company and the players. Imagine how difficult it would be to piece together when you're looking at the entire financial world and anyone around the world?
AP wasn't the only company hit… Schwab customers were left without access:
Bottom Line: So in the mist of the financial market chaos many customers of the largest online brokerage firm were locked out of their accounts. If you're a Schwab customer and tried to access your account just after 2 yesterday – you weren't alone in being locked out.
Schwab suffered a DOS (denial of service) attack that bogged down the site preventing customers from being able to access their accounts and trade. This is just too coincidental to the timing AP Twitter hack attack. And was yesterday just a test?
If hackers can create false market reaction and prevent traders from accessing their accounts what are the implications? Many traders use limit orders that could be triggered during a false event that creates market volility. Given the uncertain state of these events, I'd be cautious in my use of stop and limit orders incase there is more of this to come.
Dropping gold prices has only led to higher demand of coins:
Bottom Line: So usually when you see a serve sell off a commodity demand for that commodity actually decreases along with the price. Not this time around.
Gold is about $500 per ounce off of its all time high (at $1420 at the time of this entry) and suffered its worst two day stretch in thirty years. The result with the gold coin market… Record sales. Sales of the popular one tenth ounce coins have actually been suspended by the
In car tech guidelines – and is more in car tech leading to more accidents?:
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued new "suggestions" for in car techonology yesterday. The suggestions included:
While these are suggestions to the auto industry and not mandated as of yet; its possible and perhaps likely that these new guidelines could be future mandates (as has happened previously). The claim by the NHTSA is that in car tech is becoming too distracting and coulpresent a safety issue. While that claim seems to make sense, those opposed to these guidelines offered up these thoughts:
Both sides have a good point. For now its up for discussion but we all know that more techonology will keep coming at us behind the wheel, its just a matter of how we'll be interacting with it.
Nissan Versa is the cheapest new car again for 2014 models but…:
Bottom Line: Sometimes you get what you pay for. Like 2013, 2014 Nissan Versa's carry the smallest price tag of any new car in the
For the first time since Consumer Reports tracked auto user ratings, a majority of car buyers of a particular vehicle wouldn't buy it again. That vehicle is the Nissan Versa. Only 49% of the 2013 Nissan Versa owners said they'd be willing to buy another one. By comparison the best performing vehicle, the Chevy Volt, checked in with 93% of its buyers saying they'd buy another.

Reflective Blogging
Whenever learning happens, it's important to consolidate that knowledge so that we are able to use it in the future. I remember reading Piaget and Vygotsky during my Dip. Ed; including their theories about 'private self talk'. This self talk helps a child to construct their understanding of reality. The imagery is of building blocks put together and rearranged. It's a sign of maturity when that babbling talk moves inside the head. Sometimes, though, it is important to take that talk out of the realm of thought and back into the real world. To reflect on what we have learned by writing it down.
All throughout my teaching training, the word that was always repeated was reflect. "Make sure you reflect on your practicum experience." "Reflect on how your lesson went." Reflect. It was stressed that these reflections are not simply a written record of what happened (though that can be useful in itself). Rather, a considered examination of why it happened. Can we change various inputs and expect different outputs? How was I feeling? What did I learn? This process of reflection enables us to be more aware of the process of teaching and to apply what we have learnt to our teaching style. I like reflecting, even though it is sometimes difficult, emotionally, to process all that is going on. I know that in my first year teaching, I was definitely in 'survival' mode and did not reflect on my practice as often as I should have. When you are drowning in a sea of paperwork, writing more just isn't appealing.
Here I am, though, in the second year of teaching. I'm still new to the profession. But this year I feel drawn to reflect more. I hope this blog will be useful to me.
What about blogging? To prepare your thoughts for an audience requires you to test your ideas and clarify your thinking. Communication is the goal. A blog is a fantastic place to muse, to post your thoughts, to publish, to dare to think out loud. I've seen first hand the power of educational blogging through my FIT2001 series. Whilst the incentive was 3% of my final mark, I really enjoyed the process of writing and summarising the content. Other students seemed to find this beneficial as well, as my website statistics showed a spike of page visits before the exam!
Now I am an English teacher, I wonder how I can bring reflective blogging to my classroom. I am not so keen on encouraging my Year 7 students to start their own public blogs for the world to read. There are so many potential issues with cyber bullying and cyber safety. I wonder if there is some kind of walled garden blogging tool that we can use? This would enable the students to express themselves to their peers.
I teach Year 10 literature, and this semester I am asking them to create a writing portfolio of six pieces. I think that next semester I will ask them to create a blog so that they can reflect on what they are learning.
I have also kicked around the idea of a class blog, where the students put together content explaining what we have learned. This would be a good place for parents to see what their students are doing in class. I might launch this in Term 2 with my Year 7 students.
Lots of ideas to mull over. But I think that the process of writing them down has kick started my thinking process and will allow me to look back at these ideas as I go.

Hello World!
Wow, it's been a long time since I've updated this blog. I plan on being a bit more publicly reflective this year as I continue to work as a teacher in a school in rural Victoria.
I have wrestled with the idea of a public, anonymous internet persona existing alongside my public persona of teacher. Minor celebrity status is a perk/failing of being a teacher in a small any town. I don't add my students to my (real name) facebook profile, I don't want them reading this and knowing it is me. Hence no surnames, no specific location details. I also just simply stopped blogging last year as I came to grips with being a brand new teacher.
I'll also be playing with the themes a bit, as the aesthetic of the internet has changed a bit since I was here last.
So, 2014, the year I begin blogging again. Hopefully. It feels good to be writing again.
I'm a teacher!
So I've turned in my last assignment (hurrah!) for my Graduate Diploma of Education (Secondary) and results come out on the 3rd of December.
I have got a job as an English teacher in a rural town, which is really exciting! I'm thinking I need to fire up the blogging again to help with my processing and professional learning, and also to document the adventure of moving out of home and having a real grown up job for the first time.
I'm excited. This is going to be good.
caramel slice
Here's a republish of my gluten free, low fructose (and delicious!) caramel slice.
Fructose is a kind of sugar that is found in many foods, and can be tricky to avoid if you're fructose intolerant. Most people know it as the sugar found in fruit, but it is also found in many other foods. A person who is fructose intolerant needs to avoid wheat, as do many coeliacs and gluten intolerant people. However many recipes that are gluten free are not always fructose friendly.
This is my recipe for gluten and (almost) fructose free caramel slice. It is suitable for all people who need gluten free recipes, and for fructose-intolerant people who have known about their condition for a while and are managing their diet well. This caramel slice should be avoided by people trying to get their body free of fructose.
For the base:
- 125 grams Butter
- 1/2 a cup packed Brown Sugar (This ingredient helps the base stick together, but also introduces the fructose, since brown sugar contains molasses.)
- 1 generous cup Gluten Free self-raising flour (up to 1/2 a cup extra, depending on the dough consistency)
- This recipe removes the desiccated coconut, which is on the "avoid" list for fructose. (original recipe says 1/2 a cup.)
My mum has swapped almond meal for the coconut and it works quite well to bulk up the base. You might want to add a smidge more sugar, as the almond meal can be a tiny bit bitter, but the base is pretty sweet as it is.
For the middle:
- 1 400 gram tin of condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
For the top:
- A block of chocolate. Another friend of mine is intolerant to cocoa, the main ingredient in milk and dark chocolate, but not white chocolate. This slice works really well with dark chocolate or white chocolate, and I'm sure it would work well with milk chocolate as well.
- 1 deep tray greased and lined with baking paper. The paper is really useful because then you can just lift out the slice when you want to cut it. You may find you want to double the recipe (I often do) to fit a larger tray.
- 1 saucepan large enough to be used as a mixing bowl (for the base).
- 1 metal bowl suitable to be used as the top of a double boiler
- 1 wooden spoon
- 1 scraper
- chopping board
- Large, straight sharp knife
First of all, preheat your oven to 180 degrees C, and then take the saucepan and melt your butter in it. Once the butter is melted take it off the heat. Mix in your brown sugar till you get a nice slurry, then add your flour, a bit at a time, stirring the flour into the slurry as you go. You should end up with a nice ball of dough that you should be able to run around the edges of the pan to get all the little bits of dough, and the pan should be surprisingly clean at the end.
Take your greased and lined pan and press the dough into the bottom of it, so it covers the pan. I usually go with (about) between 1/2 a centimetre to a centimetre depth. Bake the base for 10-12 minutes until it is golden brown. Aim for undercooking because we're going to bake it again.
The next step is the ooey-gooey caramel, arguably the best part of the slice.
2012 revision: Pour on the condensed milk onto the base and bake it for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
(Put the tin of condensed milk into a saucepan and mix through the tablespoon of regular sugar (optional). Let it heat over a slow heat, always stirring it, because the caramel is just waiting for you to turn your back so it can boil over, stick to the bottom, or burn. Take it off the heat when it becomes a golden brown colour. Cooking it before we spread it on the slice gives a firmer caramel, but you can skip this step and spread the condensed milk directly on the base if you prefer.)
As soon as your caramel is done, spread it evenly all over the base and put it back in the oven to bake some more. The caramel will bubble up a little. Cook for 15-20 minutes until it has caramelised a bit more. Keep checking it, don't let it burn! Take your almost finished caramel slice out of the oven, and after it has cooled a bit, put it in the fridge to cool the caramel, for about half an hour.
While your caramel is cooking and then setting is a good time to clean up the caramel sauce pan and wooden spoon- hot water and a little elbow grease should clean it up.
Now you need to prepare the chocolate topping. The best way to melt chocolate is in a double boiler: that is, over hot water. Take a metal bowl that fits over the top of one of your saucepans. Put boiling water in the saucepan and put the chocolate, broken into bits, into the metal bowl. Carefully rest the bowl over the top of the hot water. The chocolate can be left alone until the end, when you can give it a bit of a stir to get rid of any lumps. Spread this all over the cooled caramel base, and then put it back in the fridge to set.
After the slice has set for an hour (or until firm) take it out of the fridge and, using the lining paper, lift it out of the tray and on to the chopping board. It's much easier to make straight cuts if you can cut right down the edges of the slice. Start by scoring a grid on the chocolate and into the caramel. This is fairly rich so monster slices don't work well for finger food. Using the long knife, slice all the way through the slice so you've got lots of rows. I find it helpful to cut the slice in half, and work on one half at a time. I also find it useful to set aside all the rows and work on one at a time to get neat blocks.
Now you can store them in a container in the fridge. (Layer baking paper between levels so they don't stick together.) If the day is a warm summer one, be aware of the potential for melting chocolate when you serve them.

geography memory challenge
I have had a bit of fun the last couple of days with the Jet Punk world quiz, where you have 12 minutes to name all 196 nations of the world (officially there are 195, but they count Taiwan as a sovereign nation. That's an interesting political issue that I won't be going into.) Any places/nations that are territories of a sovereign nation (for example, French Guiana, Greenland) don't count, and it's the UK, not Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland.
I found that my weak spots were Africa and Eastern Europe, but after lots of drills, I am able to get all 196, which includes the small city states of the world (like Vatican City.)
There is also the 50 United States challenge- keep in mind, if you read the comments, that most Americans memorise these at primary school.
The next challenge, once you've memorised the country names, is to match them to their shapes.
Europe East Asia. Africa, South America, Oceania. I can't seem to find a North America/Caribbean quiz.
And for the crazies: World capitals Quiz.
defining "flood"
When the floods struck Queensland and Victoria at the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011; many people, though devastated by the floods, thought that their insurance would help them to set things right again.
However, many people discovered, to their horror, that sometimes they were paying for insurance with no flood cover, or even that when they had double checked that 'flood' was included in their policies, the insurance company didn't cover them for the type of flood that impacted so many homes across Australia.
According to lawyers and consumer advocates, water flowing from rivers, creeks, dams, lakes or reservoirs may not be covered in some insurers' definition of a flood, leaving some insurance policy holders unknowingly unprotected to flood damage.
(from Brisbane Times)
In January 2011, I suggested on a 774 Melbourne Facebook comment that the government should legislate a standard definition of flood.
How about having a legally mandated definition of "Flood" for the insurance companies to use, so no-one can weasel out of paying out when people have faithfully been paying premiums?
Friday, 21 January 2011 at 09:13
So I was quite impressed to see ABC news say in November:
The Federal Government has announced plans for a major shake-up of disaster insurance, including the introduction of a standard definition of flood.
It's nice to see your ideas picked up and used.
Of course, this is no excuse for not reading your insurance policy, but they can be quite thick texts to wade through, and the insurance companies shouldn't be using confusing language to avoid paying out on claims.
Melbourne has been basking in a typically indecisive spring, which can't decide whether to send glorious sunshine or miserable grey wet weather. I actually kind of like the difference and the fact that not every day is the same. However, it is a bit cruel that the weather has been so glorious during the week and then miserable on the weekend.
Sunday was a lovely day though, and warm. Today we're back to the wet, showing just how fickle a Melbourne spring is.
This radar image (screenshot from The Bureau of Meterology) is from Saturday morning, proving that Saturday was not a beach day.
we've got you surrounded
My friends have released a music video!
job hunting
I have just submitted my first ever job application online. I have had different paid jobs and temporary jobs- Most recently as a kitchen hand at Wholefoods, and as an election official at the various state and federal elections.
It's quite hard to motivate myself- I find it discouraging when you finally find a job in the right area and for whatever reason you aren't a valid candidate. Then writing a cover letter is a bit of a chore. (Hopefully with this first one down I have a bit of a template to work with.)
It would be nice if this blog brought in a good income, but obviously I don't write enough for this to be a high traffic website.
so it's been ages since I've blogged properly. I guess it is because of my own laziness- I find I prefer to consume content rather than put the effort into creating content- even though the buzz of satisfaction lasts longer when I have the accomplishment of creating something.
The brain can be addicted to information and teamed up with procrastination- that is, the avoidance of an unpleasant task (such as university assignments) I found that I was spending lots and lots of time just reading random stuff on the internet.
Blogging is also less attractive when it's just another version of an essay- read and research, write, edit, submit. With real life obligations as well, any time I had for 'fun' was spent just surfing.
So, hopefully I can achieve some creativity and write, and publish.
My life has changed a bit- I've now finished a double degree of Arts and Computer Science, after six long years! (4.5 actually studying). I went to Canada for three weeks. I am now currently in the process of job searching and applying to do a Graduate Diploma of Education.

Policing Haiti
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
- Dec. 21, 1999: Part one of Elizabeth Farnsworth's series on Haitian democracy.
- March 10, 1999: President Clinton travels to Central America.
- Jan. 4, 1999: U.S. military readiness.
- July 28, 1997: U.N. Ambassador Bill Richardson discusses the U.S. presence in Haiti.
- March 21, 1996: Rene Preval assumes the Haitian presidency.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Five years after U.S. troops landed to reinstall Jean-Bertrand Aristide as president, Haiti remains a land of shifting sands, where sometimes things seem better, sometimes not. On the south coast, near the town of Jacmel, a child spends a December afternoon on the beach, bathing in the sparkling Caribbean Sea.
The beach is connected to Jacmel by a new road funded by the United States, part of the $2 billion in military and economic aid for Haiti since 1994. And just down the way is a shop, also U.S.-funded. Artisans here fashion objects that sell in the United States through the Sundance catalogue. It's a project aimed at promoting development outside of the capital, Port-au-Prince.
At about the same time, in Port-au-Prince, children walk through polluted water onto a pile of refuse in one of the worst slums in the western hemisphere, Cite Soleil. International aid has poured in here, too, but it's hardly noticeable.
At least 250,000 people live in Cite Soleil on less than one square mile of land, amidst garbage and stinking, open sewers. More than a quarter of the children here are badly malnourished.
Many won't live beyond age 5. Elie Joseph, who owns a bakery, grew up in Cite Soleil. He was an avid supporter of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the priest who became a president and was overthrown and then reinstalled by U.S. troops. Joseph was almost killed by soldiers in 1993 during a pro-Aristide demonstration in Cite Soleil.
ELIE JOSEPH: (speaking through interpreter) During the demonstration, my friends were beaten and shot at. I was hit by a soldier wielding an assault rifle. A United Nations human rights team saved me. But my friends and I were badly and repeatedly beaten up.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Afraid for his life, Joseph fled to the Dominican Republic, returned to Haiti when U.S. forces reinstalled President Aristide, got a small government grant, and started the bakery with a friend who had been exiled too. Now Joseph and his partner use some of their earnings from the bakery to fund small projects in their old Cite Soleil neighborhood. On this day, with Joseph's baby between them, the partners walked a path near where they grew up. They helped get this trash bin installed and are funding a small woodshop, which they hope will provide work for neighborhood friends. Some things have improved in Haiti in the past five years, Joseph says, but some things have not.
ELIE JOSEPH: (speaking through interpreter) The security situation is worse now in some ways. Before we knew who we were dealing with, the Haitian army. Now we're talking about random crime motivated by frustration, by lack of money. And it is impossible for the new police to do what we want. Too few of them are trying to manage too many people, and that is why many of us say they are a bad police force.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: We heard this and other complaints about the police most everywhere we went in Port-au-Prince, and in smaller towns like Jacmel, too. Aristide had disbanded the repressive army in 1994.
Now a political debate is underway about how well the new police are doing. Colin Granderson heads the joint United Nations/Organization of American States' mission that has been monitoring human rights here since 1993. He said crime is more visible in Haiti now partly because there's more freedom to report it.
AMBASSADOR COLIN GRANDERSON, director U.N./OAS mission in Haiti: In the old days, when crimes were committed, nobody spoke about them. And a number of well-known persons have been victims. And, as we say, those are persons who have a voice, and their voice is heard much more easily, obviously, than the ordinary man on the street, who's always been the victim of crime.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Granderson also said the new police force is fragile, caught between past and present.
AMBASSADOR COLIN GRANDERSON: We have a brand-new institution — I'm speaking of the police, obviously — and we've always said that it is extremely important what is done at this particular point in time at the outset to put in place a new code of values, a new ethos, a different approach, a different way of doing things.
It's a tremendous battle between this effort to instill new values, to instill new approaches, new attitudes, and the old way, the old habits; because in the old days if you were a member of the police or security forces, you were untouchable.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: One of those "new values" is openness to the press. The Jacmel police chief, for example, gave the NewsHour almost unlimited access to his precinct and staff. He said he had 320 police on his staff three years ago and only 236 now. Some hadn't been able to resist the lure of corruption, especially the money available from Colombian drug dealers, who are shipping more and more cocaine through Haiti en route to the United States.
PAUL SAUVIGNON, Jacmel police chief, Haitian National Police: (speaking through interpreter) The biggest problem we face is the influx of drugs in our region and the lack of resources, in spite of our good intentions, to deal with this problem. There are even times when we have problems getting bullets for our guns.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: In Haiti, a nation of 8 million people, there are only about 5,000 policemen and women in the new force, down from 6,500 a few years ago. Some have been fired because of human rights violations, a constant concern here. Lizbeth Cullity, of the joint U.N./OAS mission here visits police stations regularly with her colleague Anna Couleris to monitor human rights violations.
LIZBETH CULLITY, U.N. human rights monitor: This morning is one of the rare Monday mornings when we didn't have any reports of any violence or police shootings, so we're going to go to a police station and do a routine visit.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: On this visit to a jail in a suburb of Port-au-Prince, the monitors found several men who said they'd been beaten when arrested. Cullity and Couleris registered the prisoners' names and will investigate and review the cases later with the local police chief. We also went upstairs to talk with two police advisors, part of the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Haiti.
Andre Mesidor came here after retiring from the Miami police. Yvon Guillaume is from the West Palm Beach force. Both are Haitian-American. They and other uniformed police advisors in Haiti will leave in March as the U.N. training mission winds down. Officer Mesidor said some of the new, young police are leaving their jobs because of frustration.
ANDRE MESIDOR, U.N. police adviser: The most complaints I heard from them is they say, "We arrest somebody and the justice system fails to do their job." That's the biggest complaint around here.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: When the justice system fails to do its job, people arrested for crimes are sometimes simply let go, but there is a bigger problem, which is evident at the national penitentiary. Most of these prisoners say they've never seen a lawyer or a judge; 90 percent are in pretrial detention.
LIZBETH CULLITY: These two young men were arrested in 1997 and have not been judged yet. It just means they probably have been forgotten in the system. They've been here for two years. They've not been tried. We've been working especially on the prisoners who have been here since 1995, and we're bringing the lists of those prisoners to the judges that are responsible for them, to make decisions on those cases. 1997 unfortunately we have not really had the resources to work on the 1997 dossier because there have been more than 200 from the 1995 and 1996 that remain in prison without trials.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: U.N. monitoring has led to some improvements, including a registry, which never existed before, listing all prisoners and how long they've been incarcerated. But I asked Cullity why, after five years of reform effort by the United States and United Nations, more hadn't been done, why so many prisoners are still in pre-trial detention.
LIZBETH CULLITY: There are too few judges in Haiti. They're underpaid, and there's a lot of corruption. We can say that we feel as though we've acted as a deterrent and made some headway with the police, but with justice, things have not gotten any better.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Camille LeBlanc became Haiti's minister of justice in March last year. He is under a heavy guard because a police advisor who worked closely with him was recently shot to death by unknown assailants. He said he is trying to attract more and better judges by raising salaries, which should also limit corruption.
CAMILLE LeBLANC, minister of Justice: (speaking through interpreter) Judges used to earn less than the equivalent of 60 U.S. dollars a month. We are now paying them ten times more. In the past, judges were underpaid deliberately because they knew they couldn't live on such low salaries and were forced to accept bribes.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: U.S. Ambassador Timothy Carney, who served for two years in Haiti and left in December, said the U.S. has contributed about $25 million to the judicial reform effort.
TIMOTHY CARNEY, former U.S. ambassador to Haiti: Sometimes we don't go about it the right way, but it is a genuine priority. The prime minister said to me the other day, "There isn't a greater priority in Haiti than to arrive at a system of justice which is seen by the Haitian people actually to function."
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: The ambassador also regards the police reform effort, to which the U.S. has given $75 million, as far from finished.
TIMOTHY CARNEY: What we've seen over a period of months has been an attack by political militants on the senior police leadership. All of this came together in October with the resignation of the secretary of state for public security, followed two days later by the assassination of this police advisor, Mr. Lamie. And it's compounded morale in the police, which has seen a failure of the parliamentary system to produce the kind of laws, notably in justice reform, that the nation needs.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: The concern over security, the police and politics has become more important because of legislative elections scheduled for March and a presidential vote in December. Graffiti is already ubiquitous, including these which laud former President Aristide, who is likely to run again for president, and which attack police leaders. Pierre Denize is chief of the national police. He said he's resisting attempts by all parties to politicize his force.
PIERRE DENIZE, chief, Haitian National Police: We don't want this force to be politicized.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Do all the parties ask you to?
PIERRE DENIZE: All parties have at one point or another had the old reflex. We often joke about it here in terms of all parties want a neutral police, but it should be their neutral police.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Denize said people criticize the police because they're a convenient target in a time of great anguish.
PIERRE DENIZE: I think there is a very marked collective anguish here. This is a time of change for our country and people. Change is never easy and change is always painful.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Is it possible a window opened for change that is now closing?
AMBASSADOR COLIN GRANDERSON: Yes, it is a window of opportunity. I think that certain chances have been seized. Others, I'm afraid, have slipped through their fingers. It's a country that is trying to rebuild itself; it's trying to rebuild institutions. It's a long, slow and difficult process, and I think we need to give them time. It can't happen overnight.
ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Last month, just before we left Haiti, a concert drew big crowds in a downtown park recently rebuilt by the current government. It may not seem like much of an accomplishment, but people here said they hadn't ventured out at night in this part of town for many years. There was nowhere to go before, they said, and it would have been too dangerous anyway. So at least here, on this night, something seemed different. And people were grateful.

I was fine up until I looked at the date and decided to freak out! Unfortunately, having been down this road a few times, my mind automatically jumped to "it's gonna be negative". How horrible is that? Just when I thought that I had myself under control, all that negativity came through! Ugh! How do I eject that tape?
What are some of your "techniques" to negate the negative thoughts?
