Comment on: Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen paddleboarding in the Bahamas - Pop Radar - Boston.com
Steveareno - It's not so much humility, but more coach BB having Tom brainwashed (and most of the media too). Bill has the team say exactly what he wants them to say. No more no less. And he does t more »
I agree that Salty should not have thrown the ball.... and that Middlebrooks still should have made the catch, even though the baserunner would have been save. With that said, I think the umps got it more »
Comment on: Scarlett Johansson is Esquire's 'Sexiest Woman Alive' - Pop Radar - Boston.com
Good point on the headline. It's not only subjective, but it begs the questions - Are there dead woman that are considered sexier by Esquire?

Comment on: Belichick says win over Jets was 'a big positive' - Extra Points - Boston.com
I think his fist pump at the end of the game reflects how luky he feels to be 2-0 at this point. Especially after the offense struggling on 2 consecutive games against rathe weak oppnents. The sched more »
Comment on: Missing Medfield girl is found safe in Rhode Island - Boston.com
Interesting discussion here on who is a minor, etc... I believe you are considered a minor until you are 18 years old. However, the age of consent is different. Also, the age in criminal cases also d more »
Comment on: Ellsbury out indefinitely with foot injury - Extra Bases - Red Sox blog
I agree that he is important... but I think this team will find a way to get it done. Will it be JBJr? Or another option is Shane Vic in CF and Nava in RF. I love what Shane Vic has done the last m more »
Comment on: In final preseason game, Tebow throws two touchdown strikes - Extra Points - Boston.com
Debatable if they were TD "strikes", but they all count. If he makes the team, he should split his pay check with Quentin Sims. Sims caught both TD passes and made great plays on both of them. I wo more »
Comment on: Rolling Stone: Aaron Hernandez was heavy user of angel dust - Patriots - Boston.com
"Bill Belichick had become so infuriated with him...." ... that he gave him a $40 million dollar contract last year! That part of the article doesn't make sense, so I would question who the "sources" more »
Comment on: Miley Cyrus shocks celebrities, fans with VMA twerk performance - Pop Radar - Boston.com
Who's Robin Thicke?? hahaha.... The collaboration of these 2 (offspring of famous parents) are exactly what's wrong with music and TV. It's not about talent... and more about who you know! Alan and more »

Comment on: South Boston debates bike lanes on W. Broadway - South Boston - Your Town - Boston.com

Comment on: Done deal: Tim Tebow will break camp with Patriots - Adam Kaufman - Boston.com Sports
He might make the team, but on name recognition only! After the first 2 pre-season games, Tebow has shown nothing that would warrant him making the team as the 3rd string QB. His passing skills are more »
Comment on: Before arrest, Hernandez had brushes with violence - Patriots - Boston.com
I think you are intentionally playing the instigator here... but it's clear that the crime DID happen. We have a body with holes in it. Now the next question is, what is Mr. Herandez's role. That wi more »
Comment on: Tim Tebow signs with Patriots - Extra Points - Boston.com
From a production standpoint, you are correct Zioxide, but that's because of the offense he was in and Brady throwing to him. Lloyd obviously did not live up to expectations and was soft (catch and f more »
Comment on: Tim Tebow signs with Patriots - Extra Points - Boston.com

Throughout history, the female form has embodied the tastes and conventions of culture, from ancient fertility symbols to todays chop-shop cosmetic surgery modifications. Perhaps now, more than ever, were inundated with idealized images of the female body that challenge female autonomy, liberty and choice. The Future is Female attempts to cut through the clutter of live-out-loud social media, closed-circuit surveillance, sensationalized bullying, fetishisation of youth and sexualisation of girls via the mainstreaming of pornography and consumer trends. Grossmanns intimate portraits speak to the female struggle for identity, security, self-acceptance and empowerment in the face of homogenous and new-fangled dictates of appearance and behaviour.
We live in an age where every moment from the age of two onwards, children, women especially, are constantly aware of being looked at, photographed or being captured somehow for future reference, acknowledges Grossmann of the chronic weighing up process, the anxiety about whether theyre good enough, slim enough, wearing the right clothes, portraying the right image. Im interested in those chance moments when a woman or girl takes on a power beyond all of that rubbish, beyond herself, she says. It might be the swing of a hip or the way a leg stands that is so beautiful, so extraordinary, has always been extraordinary and appealing. Im not interested in making a statement, in being didactic. Im just trying to figure it out: why is that so captivating, so beautiful? Im going after beauty. Not in the classic sense, but in the poignant fleeting moments, like the girl in tight jeans with a broken zipper. These moments when were vulnerable without pretense, caught unawares, are sometimes the most poetic. Even when were trying to be something else, its what were not trying to be thats actually so exquisite. We dont know it at the time. We cant know it. If we did, it wouldnt be exquisite.
The painting collages and paintings on paper in this exhibition tackle this conundrum head-on, but Grossmanns inventions arent tragic victims caught between a rock and a hard place. Im really trying to say what wonderful, powerful, gorgeous, extraordinary sensual beings we are and that there are so many ways to be fantastic and glorious without having to compromise ourselves by shaving off all our pubic hair and binding ourselves into ridiculous clothes. How do we absorb and represent these pressures and form identity beyond the codes of behaviour? How we come by our sexuality? How do you come to terms with being watched and judged and ranked all the time? These works are very much about discussing these very unpleasant ways were meant to address being watched and objectified.
The girls and women that populate The Future is Female literally embody this complex terrain, re-imagined through Grossmanns visceral production methods. The paintings on paper are of female silhouettes executed alla prima in vibrant pinks and magentas. The collage paintings are drawn from the thousands of photographs, snapshots and images Grossmann has salvaged and collected for more than two decades. The act of re-creating the female form using these found materials is not just about finding and salvaging historic artefacts from obscurity, but also charging them with new life and purpose; to render the fleeting, anonymous moments in time familiar and timeless. The process starts with digging through her archive to locate specific images, gestures or textures. These images are then photocopied, scaled up and then ripped or torn into pieces to assemble a new figure, often using images that juxtapose and contrast with each other, such as using the back of a head to represent the front of a head, or using male body parts to represent a female. These are my raw materials and so is the tape, the glue, the act of scraping and scratching away at the image, she says. Push-pins become a drawing tool, a sort of pencil; I will scrape off parts I dont like. I go into it over and over and over again, adding and subtracting until I get what it is Im after. Then I paint and draw on the image, adding colour with traditional tools. Its a slow, wrestling process, using bits and pieces of different things that dont work together, making things that dont fit fit. Im not interested in making anything titillating or even beautiful necessarily in a classic senseits complicated beauty. Theres a psychological moment when I know Ive found what Im after, a character. But you cant pin it down completely.

[JURIST] The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has urged the Mongolian government [press release] to "exercise the utmost restraint" in dealing with protests of the country's recent parliamentary elections. President Nambar Enkhbayar [official website, in Mongolian] on Tuesday instituted a four-day state of emergency following protests in which at least five have been killed and more than 700 have been detained. The Office said Mongolia should "ensure that due process is followed in the case of any detentions, and that the incidents leading to deaths and injuries be properly investigated," as part of their obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights [text]. The UN News Centre has more.In the elections held Sunday, the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party [party website] won the majority of the vote, and supporters of the Democratic Party [party website, in Mongolian] and other opposition parties staged protests against the results on Tuesday. On Friday, the Democratic Party called for new elections [Reuters report] because of alleged fraud, but Enkhbayar has said that both parties have agreed to address the riots under established law [Xinhua report].
[JURIST] The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) [advocacy website] Thursday blasted [press release] a proposed plan that would allow Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) [official website] agents to consider a person's race, religion, or ethnicity in deciding whether to open a terrorism investigation. CAIR decried the plan as "unconstitutional and un-American," saying that it could allow security agents to target Muslims and Arab-Americans for harassment. A US Department of Justice spokesman responding to press reports on the plan - which has neither been finalized nor formally announced - denied that the new guidelines would allow profiling, noting that ethnicity is only one of many factors to be considered and that it is only when all those factors as a whole are deemed suspicious that an investigation can be opened. Under the proposed guidelines as explained to AP by unnamed sources, agents would be able to initiate investigations even in instances where there is no evidence of a crime, something required under current guidelines. AP has more. Fox News has additional coverage.Rights complaints by Muslims in the US rose 25 percent in 2006, according to an annual report on civil rights [PDF text; press release] released by CAIR last year. The group attributed the jump to a rise in anti-Muslim bias. The majority of reported complaints came against government agencies, including the DOJ.
[JURIST] Yemeni officials met with a visiting US delegation Thursday to discuss the possible transfer of Yemeni detainees still held at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive]. A major impediment to the negotiated release and repatriation of Yemeni detainees - who make up the largest single group of nationals at the prison - has been concern that they might be freed on their return to their home country, but AP quoted a senior official with Yemen's Ministry of Human Rights [official website] as saying that the US has been assured that any returned detainees suspected of terrorism will be prosecuted. There are currently close to 100 Yemeni detainees at Guantanamo, and talks concerning an agreement between the Yemeni and US governments on the return of the Yemeni prisoners have been ongoing. AP has more. Saba has local coverage.In October 2007, US officials criticized [JURIST report] reports that the Yemeni government had released suspected USS Cole bomber Jamal al-Badawi [GlobalSecurity profile] after he turned himself in. In May 2007, a senior Yemeni official said that the country had agreed [JURIST report] to receive most Yemeni detainees being held at Guantanamo. In June 2006, Yemeni officials called for investigations into the Guantanamo suicides of three detainees [JURIST reports], including one Yemeni national, saying that the deaths exemplified the "inhumane conditions of detainees" at the US military prison.
[JURIST] The US District Court for the District of Columbia [official website] Wednesday chose [resolution, PDF; press release, PDF] Judge Thomas Hogan [official profile] to preside over the habeas corpus appeals of Guantanamo Bay detainees seeking to challenge their detention in federal court under the Supreme Court's recent ruling [opinion, PDF; JURIST report] in Boumediene v. Bush. Hogan will rule on procedural issues common to all cases. Also on Wednesday, the court designated Judge James Robertson to consider the bid of Guantanamo detainee Salim Hamdan [DOD materials; JURIST news archive] to stay his military commission trial [AP report] until the civil court determines its legality. AFP has more.
[JURIST] Pakistani Supreme Court Bar Association President Aitzaz Ahsan [profile; JURIST news archive] strongly criticized the Bush administration's Pakistan policy during a visit to the US this past week, arguing that its refusal to condemn President Pervez Musharraf's November 2007 declaration of emergency law [text, PDF; JURIST report] and his concomitant ouster of superior court judges is harming relations between the countries. On Tuesday, Ahsan addressed [recorded video; press release] the New York City Bar Association [association website], recounting the events leading up to the judges' ouster and criticizing US officials for voicing "not a whimper of protest." On Thursday, Ahsan said in a Washington Times interview that Pakistani support for US anti-terror efforts were waning in light of US silence on Musharraf's actions. BBC News has more. The New York Law Journal has additional coverage.Ahsan has long been one of the most visible faces in the Pakistani lawyers movement [JURIST news archive] pressing the government for a more independent judiciary. Last month, Ahsan and other lawyers held a "long march" in support of the ousted judges' reinstatement, beginning in Lahore and ending [JURIST reports] in Islamabad.
[JURIST] The Italian government Thursday began carrying out a controversial plan to fingerprint the country's Roma minority [JURIST news archive], despite fierce criticism [JURIST report] from the international human rights community [COE statement] and Roma advocates [ERRC materials]. The fingerprinting scheme, announced last Thursday by Interior Minister Roberto Maroni [OECD profile], involves recording the fingerprints of thousands of Roma, including children, ostensibly to reduce street crime and begging. According to some reports, the Italian Interior Ministry has said that fingerprints will not be taken from any Roma who has Italian or EU documentation. The plan has been condemned as constituting "ethnic cataloguing" [EUobserver.com report]. AP has more.Vincenzo Spadafora, head of UNICEF in Italy [official website], said UNICEF was "deeply concerned" by the proposal, commenting that "[i]f this is being brought in to protect the rights of Roma children, Italian children should also be fingerprinted to protect them as well." On Monday, the Italian Court of Cassation released a ruling [JURIST report] overturning the convictions of six Italians, including Verona Mayor Flavio Tosi, for distributing anti-Roma literature in 2001 in a move some speculated was timed to bolster the fingerprinting plan. In November 2005, the European Monitoring Center on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC) [advocacy website] reported that Roma minorities are the ethnic group most susceptible to racism in the European Union [JURIST report]. A spokesman for an Italian NGO opposed to fingerprinting said Thursday that life expectancy for Roma living in Italy is already under 60 [AKI report].
[JURIST] Human Rights Watch [advocacy website; JURIST news archive] Wednesday accused Sri Lanka [JURIST news archive] of creating a de facto internment camp [HRW press release] to arbitrarily detain more than 400 refugees fleeing areas of the country controlled by separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) [group website; CFR backgrounder]. HRW rejected government claims that the detentions are meant for the refugees' own protection and called on the government to give aid agencies access to detainees. Reuters has more.The Sri Lankan government has been sporadically fighting with LTTE since 1972 and has been widely criticized for ignoring basic human rights in the process. In January, the country's Supreme Court [official website] ordered the government to stop [JURIST report] the practice of detaining and searching large groups of civilians in LTTE controlled areas. The same month, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour urged the government to continue to respect rights [JURIST report] in the region after the expiration of a 2002 ceasefire. In August 2007, HRW accused the Sri Lankan government of being responsible for a dramatic increase in unlawful killings and other human rights violations [JURIST report].
[JURIST] A judge for the US District Court for the Southern District of New York [official website] Tuesday ordered [PDF text] Google to turn over databases containing logs of every time any IP address has accessed any YouTube [corporate websites] video. Viacom [corporate website] had requested access to the databases in a lawsuit [case materials] brought for copyright infringement, arguing that Google and YouTube knowingly made copyrighted material available on their websites without permission. District Judge Louis Stanton rejected Google's claim that turning over user information would invade users' privacy in violation of the Video Privacy Protection Act [text], finding that an IP address or YouTube username alone was not enough to identify users. The court did, however, reject Viacom's bid to compel Google to turn over larger databases which include user-provided text summaries of hosted videos. Technology and privacy advocates sharply criticized [EFF blog post] the order, saying that it would set a dangerous precedent for internet privacy. Computerworld has more. BBC News has additional coverage. Google has recently started to push for stronger online privacy protection after strong criticism by privacy groups. In September 2007, Google called for stronger privacy legislation [speech text; JURIST report] at a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) conference. In June 2007, Google announced that it would reduce retention of user search data to 18 months [JURIST report] in response to a European Commission investigation [JURIST report] into whether the company complied with EU privacy rules [EU Data Protection website].
[JURIST] Strict French anti-terrorism laws violate European and international human rights standards, according to a report [PDF text; HRW press release] released by Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] Wednesday. In particular, the report criticized a French law [text, in French] criminalizing "association in relation to a terrorist undertaking," which HRW says allows prosecutors and law enforcement officials to detain terrorism suspects without cause and undermine suspects' right to a fair trial:
Central to this preemptive approach is the broadly defined offense of "criminal association in relation to a terrorist undertaking" (association de malfaiteurs en relation avec une entreprise terroriste, hereafter "association de malfaiteurs"). Established as a separate offense in 1996, it allows the authorities to intervene with the aim of preventing terrorism well before the commission of a crime. No specific terrorist act need be planned, much less executed, to give rise to the offense. Intended to criminalize all preparatory acts short of direct complicity in a terrorist plot, an association de malfaiteurs charge may be leveled for providing any kind of logistical or financial support to, or associating in a sustained fashion with, groups allegedly formed with the ultimate goal of engaging in terrorist activity....In practice, French counterterrorism laws and procedures undermine the right of those facing charges of terrorism to a fair trial. The broad definition and expansive interpretation of association de malfaiteurs translate into a low standard of proof for decisions to arrest suspects or to place them under investigation by a judge. Indeed, casting a wide net to ensnare large numbers of people who might have some connection with an alleged terrorist network has been one of the characteristics of investigations into association de malfaiteurs.
[JURIST] Disagreements between the United States and Iraq are still blocking a permanent Status of Forces Agreement [CFR materials; JURIST op-ed] regarding the role of American troops in Iraq [JURIST news archive] and could delay a deal past the expiration of the UN mandate for coalition forces in Iraq at the end of the year, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari [BBC profile] indicated Wednesday. Last week, the US agreed to eliminate legal immunity for US contractors [NYT report; JURIST report] from the proposed agreement, and suggested that it might concede US control of Iraqi airspace. The US is still pushing for immunity for US troops from prosecution in Iraqi courts and the right to hold detainees independent of Iraqi review. The two countries had set an informal deadline of July 31 to reach a permanent agreement, but have said they may have to adopt an interim deal to keep US troops in the country legally before the UN mandate authorizing the US troop presence expires in December [UN press release]. The New York Times has more. McClatchy has additional coverage. Voices of Iraq has local coverage.Earlier this month, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] said some of the provisions the US is seeking would violate Iraqi sovereignty [JURIST report], but US President George Bush downplayed the disagreement, saying he thought the two countries would reach a deal before the deadline. The US has SOFAs [GlobalSecurity backgrounder] with many other countries around the world, and legal immunity for US troops is one of their most sought-after provisions. Immunity is a particularly divisive issue in Iraq, which has previously asked the UN to nullify [JURIST report] the immunity granted to troops under the original mandate [Security Council Resolution 1546] due to past misconduct by US soldiers, including the Haditha killings of Iraqi civilians and the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal [JURIST news archives]. Iraq has also asked the UN to lift the current provision allowing the US to hold prisoners without Iraqi review [JURIST news report].
[JURIST] A judge for the US District Court for the Northern District of California [official website] Wednesday dismissed [opinion, PDF] a lawsuit brought by an Islamic charity that alleged it was the subject of an illegal wiretap by the National Security Agency (NSA) [official website]. The government argued that the NSA did not need to obtain a court order before eavesdropping on the al-Haramain Islamic Foundation [JURIST news archive] charity group because the state secrets privilege [JURIST news archive] trumped procedural requirements under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) [text; JURIST news archive], but US District Judge Vaughn Walker wrote:
Whatever power the executive may otherwise have had in this regard, FISA limits the power of the executive branch to conduct such activities and it limits the executive branchs authority to assert the state secrets privilege in response to challenges to the legality of its foreign intelligence surveillance activities.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled [opinion, PDF] Wednesday that the First Amendment protected an anti-abortion group's right to display graphic pictures of early-term aborted fetuses outside of a California middle school. The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform (CBER) [advocacy website], a pro-life advocacy group, filed a lawsuit [complaint, PDF] in federal court in 2003 against the school and the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department after sheriff's deputies acting under California Penal Code § 626.8 [text] stopped two of its members for circling a Rancho Palos Verdes public school in a large truck plastered with the images. The court found that the deputies and the school were protected by the doctrine of qualified immunity [backgrounder] with respect to the CBER's First Amendment violation claim, but it distinguished between constitutionally problematic statutes which criminalized expressive behavior based on the disruptive content of the expressed message, and those that criminalize disruptive means of expression. Judge Harry Pregerson wrote:
As a whole, the language of § 626.8 does not evidence any intent to criminalize a persons behavior based on a listeners reaction to the content of his speech. We thus conclude that the California courts would construe § 626.8 to apply to speech only when the disruption caused by the speaker is caused by the manner of the speech. Controversial words and images that, because of their content, upset the listener and cause the listener to behave disruptively are not covered by the statute.Under our narrow construction, § 626.8 does not apply to Plaintiffs conduct in driving their trucks around Dodson Middle School....Construing § 626.8 as we do, the statute provided no basis to prohibit Plaintiffs from continuing to drive their vehicles around the school before classes began.Section 626.8 was the only authority cited by Defendants in asking Plaintiffs to leave, and thus provided the only possible source of a significant governmental interest necessary to restrict Plaintiffs speech in a public forum...Misapplying a statute is not a significant governmental interest. Defendants have suggested no other significant governmental interest to justify restricting Plaintiffs speech. We therefore hold that the Deputy Sheriffs violated Plaintiffs First Amendment right of free speech.
[JURIST] The Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) [official website] Thursday struck down [judgment summary, text; ICTY press release] the war crime conviction of former senior Bosnian Muslim military commander Naser Oric [ICTY case backgrounder; JURIST news archive]. In June 2006, Oric was convicted of war crimes [JURIST report] for failing to prevent the murder and inhumane treatment of Serb prisoners in Srebrenica [JURIST news archive] by military police under his command. The ICTY appeals court ruled that Oric did not have control over most of the accused police at the time of the alleged crimes. It found that one subordinate was effectively under Oric's control at the time, but that there was insufficient evidence to establish that Oric knew or had reason to know that person would commit any war crimes. AP has more. AFP has additional coverage.The indictment [text] against Oric alleged that military police under his command beat Serb detainees with metal bars, baseball bats and rifle butts and extracted teeth with pliers. Oric was charged with failing to prevent abuses by military police under his command, and was also charged with responsibility for destruction of Serb villages around Srebrenica. He was sentenced to two years in prison, but was released immediately following his conviction as he had already been detained for two years. Former ICTY Chief Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte appealed the sentence [JURIST report] in July 2006, after having called for an 18-year prison term.
[JURIST] The Supreme Court of Panama [Panama judiciary official website, in Spanish] has declared unconstitutional 183 pardons issued in 2004 by then-outgoing president Mireya Moscoso [profile, in Spanish]. Among the pardoned had been four Cubans - including Luis Posada Carriles [JURIST news archive] - charged with a 2000 assassination attempt against then-Cuban leader Fidel Castro, and 87 journalists charged with libel or defamation. The high court judges said Monday that some of the pardons were given before the defendants had actually stood trial. Reuters has more. Prensa has local coverage, in Spanish.Carriles and three other Cubans were originally sentenced by a Panamanian court to up to eight years in prison for endangering public safety, possession of explosives and conspiracy in connection with a plan to assassinate Castro. In response, the Cuban government severed ties [JURIST report] with Panama. After his pardon, Carriles was arrested in 2005 [JURIST report] for illegally entering the United States. He was released on bail [JURIST report] in April 2007. Cuba criticized Carriles' release, and accused the US of violating international anti-terrorism treaties by dismissing US charges [JURIST reports] against him. The US government has denied Cuban and Venezuelan requests [JURIST report] for Carriles' extradition, citing the UN Convention Against Torture [text] as it claims that Carriles may face torture in Cuba or Venezuela.
[JURIST] The US Department of Justice (DOJ) [official website] said Wednesday that it had mistakenly failed to brief the Supreme Court [official website] on the existence of a military law [PDF text] allowing capital punishment for child rape before the court decided the case of Kennedy v. Louisiana [Duke Law backgrounder; JURIST report]. In Kennedy, the court held 5-4 [JURIST report] that a death sentence constitutes cruel and unusual punishment when imposed for a crime in which the victim was not killed. The majority supported its reasoning by saying that very few states had such laws and that - incorrectly - there were no federal laws allowing the punishment for rape. In its admission, the DOJ noted that a 2006 amendment to the Uniform Code of Military Conduct [LII materials] does in fact allow the death penalty at court-martial for rape and child rape. Lousiana Governor Bobby Jindal [official website] has said lawyers for the state are considering whether or not to petition the court to reconsider the case. The oversight was first raised [CAAFlog post] Saturday by a civilian Air Force lawyer in his blog on military justice. The New York Times has more. The Washington Times has additional coverage.The Supreme Court's holding reversed a 2007 decision [PDF text] by the Supreme Court of Louisiana. The high court ruling has already been criticized by a wide range of lawmakers.
[JURIST] The US Department of Defense (DOD) [official website] announced Wednesday that it will transfer two Guantanamo detainees [press release] to Algeria. The unnamed individuals are among the more than 65 Guantanamo detainees that government officials have declared eligible for transfer. About 265 detainees remain at the base.Algerian Justice Minister Tayeb Belaiz indicated in March that officials from his country had visited Guantanamo to identify Algerian detainees [JURIST report], and said that although the country would accept repatriation of the 17 then still held there, some might face criminal charges upon their return. US officials have expressed concern that former detainees considered dangerous are not simply set free. Another Algerian, Sufyian Barhoumi [charge sheet, PDF] was among a group of three Guantanamo prisoners charged [JURIST report] in May with conspiracy and providing material support for terrorism based on alleged involvement with an al Qaeda bomb-making group in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia [official website] on Wednesday reversed [opinion, PDF] a district court ruling and found that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) [NIMH backgrounder] may qualify as a disability under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 [text, DOC]. The plaintiff in the case, Martin Desmond, alleged that he was forced to resign from the FBI New Agent Training Unit [FBI backgrounder] in Quantico, VA when his superiors learned that he suffered from PTSD. Desmond argued that his dismissal from the program constituted discrimination based on disability, in violation of Section 501 of the Act. In its ruling, the court explained that under the Rehabilitation Act a plaintiff is disabled if "(1) he suffers from an impairment; (2) the impairment limits an activity that constitutes a major life activity under the Act; and (3) the limitation is substantial." Finding that PTSD qualified as a "mental impairment" and that sleep constituted a "major life activity," the court concluded that the condition was covered by the Act where evidence of significant sleeplessness exists. The case was remanded for further proceedings. The Rehabilitation Act, administered by the Rehabilitation Services Administration [official website], was passed in 1973 to prevent discrimination based on disability in government agencies and federally funded programs, and foreshadowed broader legislation like the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act [official website] and other measures aimed at increasing protection for people with disabilities in the workplace. Last week, the US House of Representatives passed [JURIST report] the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act of 2008 [HR 3195 materials], which will make it easier for employees with mental or physical handicaps to prove they are victims of employment discrimination. Supporters of the bill contend that the Supreme Court has interpreted the ADA in an overly restrictive manner, denying protection to a wide range of disabilities.

That's a budget? A joke from the U.S. Senate
Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray, D-Wash., finally introduced a budget last week. The Hill, a Capitol Hill newspaper, offered some good coverage. "The first budget from Senate Democrats in four years includes nearly $1 trillion in new taxes but would not balance the budget," the paper reported.
Real Clear Politics reported that "(Rep. Paul) Ryan plans to erase the deficit in a decade through structural changes to Medicare and cuts to Medicaid spending, while Murray plans to tame - though not balance - it over the same time span through a combination of tax increases and spending reductions."
The Washington Post's editorial page wrote of the Senate budget: "Partisan in tone and complacent in substance, it scores points against the Republicans and reassures the party's liberal base - but deepens these senators' commitment to an unsustainable policy agenda."
The Post went on: "In short, this document gives voters no reason to believe that Democrats have a viable plan for - or even a responsible public assessment of - the country's long-term fiscal predicament."
After illegally refusing to produce a budget for four years, Senate Democrats finally offer one and it is an unbalanced joke. But look, Republicans are trying to reach out to young voters, LOL, OMG!!

Great value! We were close to the action and sites, while having luxurious accommodations at a very reasonable price. When we arrived, all of the rooms of the type we had booked were taken, so they gave us a room upgrade free of charge. Staff were all friendly and courteous. The peaceful pool on the roof was a definite plus. If you want a quiet and safe place to relax after a busy day in Bangkok, this is the place for you.

DescriptionThe Gallery Wall is a broad south-facing sunny wall, located right of The Sponge and Dream Tower. It showcases a couple of sport climbs, which are rarely climbed (despite being near the popular Sponge) due to difficult grades and the need to scramble 50' to reach the start of the "real climbing". The two documented climbs are at the left end of the formation, and potential for more climbs might exist to the right on this wall, although there are many ledges and bushes. Getting ThereGallery Wall is 200' right of the Sponge. Cross the stream on a log directly in front of the Dream Tower, then walk right a short ways. 1 Total Routes

Tantrix says: If you enjoyed Prince of Persia and seek an even harder challenge with some nice cinematic scenes, get this game!
Tantrix says: The game which lives up by the variety of gameplay features. From combat, to exploration,to stealth,to racing, to cinematic action scenes, it' s all in one! Also it has a memorable protagonist and story. FUCK THE COPS
Tantrix says: The reboot to the classic Prince of Persia series. Settled in the Sassanid period, you play the son of King Shahrahman and invade the Indian empire. Inb4 ZOMBIES EVERYWHERE! A real great plattformer with time manipulation, don't miss out it's sequel!
Tantrix says: Get into the mind of insane people and deal with their dreams! Freud would appreciate it.
Tantrix says: A game mocking stereotypes of game brutality. Be a sociopath and face a demented world where everyone kills each other sooner or later. And don't forget to sign his petition.
Tantrix says: One of the most addicitve games, as addictive like Diablo II It may be the graphics, or the music, or the sound effects, or the town building, or everything in one. STANDART "GET IT NAOH" GAME
Tantrix says: One of the best C&P adventures after Lucasarts. Wake up in an asylum and cross different worlds to face your sanity. The graphics and mature story are especially precious
Tantrix says: Microid's top C&P adventure. While the game did seriously looked up from Alan Moore's "From Hell", the game keeps you anticipated with it's hard riddles and paralelle storylines dealing with the same serial killer case.

Tantrix says: A nice sim about the Medival guild. Really recommended for people who want to build their own town.
Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Education Alliance commends the West Virginia Board of Education for prioritizing student learning in its "From Audit to Action" response.
While the board's comments are detailed and thoughtful, we believe the response should also include how students will measurably benefit from recommendations and how the Board of Education will prioritize and work with others (agencies, local school boards and school improvement councils, faith communities, the business community, etc.) to improve factors that profoundly impact student learning in West Virginia. Those include teen pregnancy; gaps in students' pre-school readiness associated with income, gender or ethnicity; truancy; children living in dysfunctional home environments; and children living in poverty. Addressing these real challenges will benefit current students and future generations of students.
While the Education Efficiency Audit aimed to "produce the best outcomes for West Virginia students and ensure West Virginia receives the highest return on the educational dollars it spends," the board's response can add the additional dimensions of measurable accountability and advocacy for addressing community and family challenges that impede student learning. The following details The Education Alliance's position:
Measurable student benefits.
The Efficiency Audit addresses student benefits in a general manner, but the board has an opportunity to articulate the improved student outcomes it expects from its recommendations. Currently, the board focuses on what educators will do and receive without identifying for the public and itself the measurable student benefits. The Education Alliance believes the Call to Action must articulate the relationship between the Call to Action responses and measurable benefits to students.
We encourage the board to state how its audit responses will measurably improve or increase the following student outcomes such as test scores on state or national assessments; grade-level retentions; enrollment in rigorous mathematics and science courses; the percentage of third-grade students achieving mastery or above in reading/language arts by the end of third grade and high school completion rates.
Community and family challenges
We believe the Call to Action should acknowledge specific challenges that many West Virginia students endure daily. While these challenges were not mentioned in the Efficiency Audit, they are realities that profoundly affect a student's ability to learn. They are the teen pregnancy rate; student achievement gaps based on income, gender or ethnicity that students bring to their pre-school experience; truancy; children living in dysfunctional home environments; and children living in poverty. Each of these profoundly affects student learning; curriculum; instructional time; teacher effectiveness; the educational quality of a classroom, school or county; and the accessibility, availability, and usefulness of educational technology.
Research shows children growing up in poverty lag behind their middle-class peers or peers from stable homes in terms of vocabulary skills; comprehension skills; social skills; and self-regulation skills even as they begin the schooling process before kindergarten. In West Virginia, 56 percent of West Virginia students receive a free or reduced-priced lunch. One in five West Virginia children is born with significant exposure to drugs or alcohol. Many children live with "toxic stress" that is severe, sustained and not buffered by supportive relationships.

An Air Force officer formerly assigned to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and his wife have entered not guilty pleas to criminal charges in connection with allegations of child abuse in their Niceville, Fla., home, according to court records.
Lt. Col. Dennis E. Jack, 42, and his wife, Tiffany J. Jack, 41, entered the pleas Jan. 15 in Okaloosa County, Fla. The couple have a residence in northwest Florida near Eglin Air Force Base.
Dennis Jack was reassigned to Eglin last month for "humanitarian" reasons after he was on leave from his post as commander of the 88th Comptroller Squadron at Wright-Patterson, according to base spokesman Daryl Mayer.
The lieutenant colonel is now deputy of the acquisition cost division at the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Eglin, according to Chrissy Cuttita, an Eglin Air Force Base spokeswoman.
Dennis Jack was arrested Dec. 2 in Niceville and charged with four counts of child abuse and three counts of obstructing justice, according to police and court records. He was released after posting a $4,000 bond.
Tiffany Jack was arrested Nov. 16 and charged with two counts of child abuse and one count of aggravated child abuse, records show. She was released on a $5,000 bond.
According to a Niceville Police Department report, the victims reported the female defendant forced the children to wear urine soaked diapers on their heads while standing on their hands.
Police said a photograph showed two victims were forced to do push ups, one with the victim's hands on a booster seat and the other on a toy car, with their feet on a kitchen counter.
A male "abuse reporter," whose name was redacted from the report, told Tiffany Jack the punishment was inappropriate, authorities said. The person who reported the abuse returned two hours later one day and found one of the victims in the same position, police said.
Physical examinations of the children found evidence of bruises and scars to support the allegations, Niceville police and the Northwest Florida Daily News have reported.
Robert A. Dees, a Florida attorney representing Dennis Jack, declined comment Wednesday. Coy H. Browning, a Florida lawyer representing Tiffany Jack, also declined comment through an assistant.

Life Is Junk: The Work of Gerhard Nicholson
Colin Carpenter Life Is Junk: The Work of Gerhard Nicholson is an intimate short documentary introducing gruff and iconoclastic Berkeley artist Gerhard Nicholson, his remarkable junk-made cameras, and his home/museum full of 50 years' unique art. For the last ten years of his life, Nicholson filmed his artistic process, sharing mundane moments, a sharp, nihilistic sense of humor, and his struggle to keep up with a changing culture and the loss of his beloved partner of 34 years. Interwoven are interviews with the artist and friends. | When making a fiscal sponsorship donation with a credit card, 3% is deducted from the donation amount to cover the merchant account processing fees.

The Box Project – Reflections
How one should trust in their materials and earn their respect.
I fondly recall my first meeting with Jasmine about this particular project. It happened on a rainy afternoon, whilst swigging a cider on the rooftop pub across the road from gaffa gallery. A casual affair that very quickly, to my delight, turned into a polished presentation about the origins of her curatorial idea with prepared handouts of exhibition schedules and the like. Impressed? I think so.
Being in the position such as I was last year, directing an exhibition program of 21 shows, I was constantly searching for interesting and innovative exhibition proposals, and here was one that was ticking *cough* all the boxes. The Box Project, was certainly one of the most enjoyable shows I had the pleasure of being a part of last year, not only in offering curatorial guidance, but also receiving an invitation to be a participating artist in the project.
Having initially discussed with Jasmine the types of materials she would put into the boxes and what her expected outcomes were, I was rather interested to see what my little brown box would contain. I was not to be disappointed; the content was an unusual fare of earplugs, plastic buckles, light blue plastic cable and some sort of electrical fuses. I sat with these materials for quite some time, occasionally tipping them out, fiddling with them a bit then putting them away again. This was to happen for quite a few weeks.
I don't often mess with my materials all that much; I like my audience to silently nod in acknowledgement of the use of common materials in unfamiliar situations or perhaps common situations translated from uncommon materials. You see displayed here my final construction, made from earplugs, plastic buckles and a small addition of sterling silver it is called, I'm sorry, I wasn't really listening.

I am truly and absolutely blown away by last night, what a great show! I could not be any happier. There was a constant stream of punters through the gallery all night long, each so curious to see the becomings of the box materials. The work was spectacular, so creative, innovative and different. It and the makers received great praise and appreciation from the public. Many a sale were made many a suprise reaction had by all when they discovered the true nature of the materials.
Thank you so much to everyone who made the opening your efforts and support so warmly received. Thank you's go out to Mel Young, Zara Collins, Sunggee Min, Jessica Page, Diane Appleby, Sondi and Carrie McDowell (who came the furtherest distance across from WA), it was great to see the familiar faces and to also meet those with whom I have been corresponding through-out the year. Those that couldn't make it thank you for all of your consistent hard work and dedication to the project, It would not have been possible without you. You were there in spirit and i'll be posting more pics for all to see really really soon.

Zoe Brand and her famous blackboard brooches.
Zoe Brand currently holds the position of manager of Keeper Gallery and retail space at Gaffa Gallery an Artist Run Initiative in Sydney. She is also a maker of contemporary jewellery and objects and a freelance arts curator. Zoe studied the Advanced Diploma of Jewellery and Object Design at the Design Centre, Enmore and graduated in 2008.
"I'd like to tell you a bit about myself. I'm about average height, I wear glasses and like to drink beer. Now you may ask, what has this got to do with my work? I would have to admit that this is an excellent question to pose. With my arms flailing around in the air and in an excitable tone I would reply to you, "Everything!! It has everything to do with my work!" I would then calm down and sink into a deep discussion about why it is that I decided to make Jewellery out of books pertaining to Jewellery or why in fact that I'm drawn to the aesthetic of certain architecture. Words such as, humor, simplicity, structure would be bandied about and much laughter would ensue, I would suggest that perhaps we might go for a beer and continue our conversation. After ordering a round of Coopers we would begin an intense discussion about the state of the Contemporary Jewellery scene in Australia. Following a few more beers and perhaps a cider we would part ways with the adrenalin pumping through our bodies that only comes with amazing conversation. That would be rather pleasant don't you think?"
- Zoe Brand
A huge thanks goes out to Zoe for pushing me to pursue The Box Project. You are one special lady!
Vessel and stopper, anodised aluminium. Hallmarks of Diane Appleby's handmade jewellery are design, colour and craftsmanship. Rubies, diamonds, black pearls, tourmalines and iolites set in burnished silver and planished gold find unique form in Diane's designs. Cabochon rings of topaz and citrine and bejewelled perfume bottle with silken tassels are some of the individually crafted objects that catch the eye in a collection of Diane's work. Diane's pieces are designed to not only catch the eye, but also to feel delightful to the wearer. 'I love to play with form and texture. My jewellery, no matter the scale, has a focus on shape and surface texture that feels good to wear.' A Sydney based jewellery designer and maker of some 20 years standing, Diane has exhibited nationally and internationally. While she supplies jewellery to some of Australia's premier galleries and outlets, Diane's preference is to work directly with clients to design and make individual pieces. 'There is alchemy when I work directly with clients, involving them in the design process. It imbues the piece with a very special meaning.' Diane completed her Master of Art in Gold and Silversmithing at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in 2003. As well as making jewellery for individual clients, shops and galleries, Diane has taught at the Jewellery and Object Design Department, Sydney Institute of Technology, Design Centre Enmore, and at the College of Fine Art, University of NSW.

For many people, the word jewellery conjures up images of gold, diamonds and mass-produced bling. This adorned baggage has led Fitness to explore alternative visual and contextual communication surrounding wearable objects that do not fit the traditional jewellery mould. Fitness creates silicone jewels that encourage play and interaction between the wearer and observer. They offer new possibilities for adorning and viewing jewellery, creating temporal art experiences for random audiences.
Sharon Fitness is also one of the cogs behind the fabulous Broach of the Month club in New Zealand.

Min's work relates to his earlier studies in Philosophy and Literature as well as to the different religions that he has tried to understand and question. His creative motivation began with an exploration of relationships in everyday life. Min likes to see the contrast, harmony and emotions through these relationships and the way that the results are not always what we expect.
" Taking photos, getting wild flowers from country, collecting old coins or stamps. Are these our nature to memorise or to have? There is no separate line between before and after because we are living in the world that moves continuously. We tend to memorise or capture the moment especially when we know it won't last forever, either moments of scenery or objects.
As a jeweller, I capture my moment, which I found so special for me and then I create wearable pieces using my moment of memories or objects that I collected."

Lander's work broadly encompasses an interest in science and technology and how this informs cultural paradigms. In past work the form of her jewellery pieces have been heavily derived from scientific instrumentation. A common thematic is the plump, a metaphor for balance, a possible physic balance, acquired by the wearer through the use of the talismanic qualities traditionally attributed to jewellery. The jewellery pieces are created to have an interaction with the wearer, an interaction as simple as tactility, kinetic or more recently the olfactory engagement of the senses.

Royal Parade neckpiece, timber, turquoise, acrylic and glass beads, paint, 2010.
With an initial degree in Design/Visual Communication, Natalia Milosz-Piekarska went on to complete a BA (Honours) in Gold and Silversmithing at RMIT. Natalia now works from her Melbourne based studio as a contemporary jeweller and artist, making and participating in a diverse range of projects. Natalia's primary focus lays in realm of amuletic and talismanic adornment. With much of her research delving into various aspects of superstition, folklore and ritual, her work explores our human inclination towards charmed objects and the power of belief. Natalia has an intuitive and playful approach to her materials and practice, employing a myriad of traditional and unorthodox elements in order to create pieces that emanate a sense of character and spirit.

Big bad Bob Mitchum: Seriously, is there anybody you'd rather watch in a movie? Mitchum had the cool looks, a dancer's sense of balance, and a thoroughly modern amusement about his own stardom. Somehow he made you invest in a movie, while simultaneously communicating his own smirky suspicions that the whole thing was a joke. Mitchum gets boxed in Robert Mitchum: The Signature Collection, a six-disc batch of random but rewarding Mitchum vehicles. Highlights are two noirish outings, and two prestigious auteur pictures that allowed Mitchum to play outside his usual job description. The one authentic noir is Otto Preminger's Angel Face (1952), with Mitchum as an incredibly passive hero bewitched by Jean Simmons' spoiled rich girl. True to its title, the film is utterly deadpan in tracking the downfall of Mitchum's easily-seduced male. The quasi-noir is Macao (1952), a compulsively enjoyable piece of nonsense produced by the ever-meddling Howard Hughes. It's credited to director Josef von Sternberg, but it was largely reshot by Nicholas Ray (according to a Mitchum-Russell interview included on the disc, Mitchum wrote some of the new scenes). Doesn't matter; the combo of Mitchum and Jane Russell (re-teamed from the even kookier His Kind of Woman) is enough to carry this slice of backlot exotica. Both actors look skeptical about the material and amused by each other, and Russell gets to sing "One for My Baby." Home from the Hill (1959) is an underappreciated change of pace for both Mitchum and director Vincente Minnelli. Mitchum, all authority as the super-manly patriarch of an East Texas family, supplies the brawn; Minnelli brings the same sensitivity to the emotional effects of color and movement that he brought to his musicals. Biggest surprise here is that two young-cub Georges, Peppard and Hamilton, are both very good in the male-ingénue roles. Another long film, Fred Zinnemann's The Sundowners (1960), is a gentle and wise account of a nomadic family of sheep-herders in Australia. Mitchum and Deborah Kerr bring a beautiful sense of mature romance to their relationship, and Zinnemann catches the beauty of the country. Plus, you learn how to shear a sheep. The clinker in the set is Burt Kennedy's The Good Guys and the Bad Guys, a 1969 Western that can't decide whether it's sending up High Noon or playing it straight. Mitchum's the aging Marshall eased out of his job, George Kennedy is the equally aging varmint whose gang (led by whippersnapper David Carradine) plans a train robbery. One can imagine John Wayne as the Marshall and Mitchum as the rogue, but the movie would still fall flat. Finally, The Yakuza (1975) finds Mitchum in his weathered seventies form, and easily the best thing about Sydney Pollack's stately film. The Paul Schrader-Robert Towne script heads to Japan for some cultural lessons and much finger-severing. All in all, the set shows the range of a perpetually underestimated actor who never stopped being cool. --Robert Horton
