The 65-room M/S Rygerfjord, one of the larger boat-hotels in Stockholm, is a white three-decker serving as both a hostel and a hotel. Built in Norway in 1950, this ship has been permanently docked on Södermälarstrand since 1995. If you're looking for a real nautical experience or refined, yacht-like ambience, then head elsewhere. But if you want a simple, affordable place to sleep and float, then give the Rygerfjord a chance.
There isn't much to the cabins: just plain walls, striped bedding, and, well, that's pretty much it. Standard and Captain's cabins have private bathrooms, while budget cabins and the "hostel" rooms–which sleep two to 12 people (sheets and towels are SEK 60)—share facilities.
We like the Astroturf-covered deck out front. Furnished with picnic tables and green Tro beer umbrellas, it's a nice spot to kick back on a summer day.

Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden
About the Rygerfjord Hostel neighborhood
Södermalm, the island that forms the southern part of central Stockholm, is a little out of the way from major sights and museums, but hotels here are cheaper. Once known as working-class, a hipster revolution has turned it into a hot-spot with edgy shops and trendy bars and restaurants. Historic Gamla Stan and Norrmalm are just across the water.

Really good article (from Bonnell) that ties together a lot of the pieces on the timing of the Bobcats change in colors, the gutting of their old inventory of Team Store items and how it may impact the player development of Coach Dunlap. MJ makes the change when it will be funded by someone other than himself (DNC). MJ knows how to make money.
DNC takes over TWC Arena
Some Exerpts:
Impact on Dunlap's development approach during offseasonQuote:
Gutting the arena
The Bobcats needed Johnson & Wales because nearly every basketball-related area the practice court, the locker room, the weight room, etc. will be off limits as of Aug. 16.
Workmen have already started gutting the arena bowl. Miles of new electrical cable is being installed weekly. All the usual signage has been removed and about half the suites have been stripped to the walls and repainted beige.
Theyre going to be (television) studios the ones that face the stage, so that if a correspondent sits in a chair, youll see the stage behind him, Whitfield said. Now theyre basically just a shell of a suite, with no seats.
The Bobcats lost their team store quickly after the season, since the DNC planned to use that space for its offices. It worked out well that the Bobcats were changing team colors, prodding them to discount inventory rather than store it for next season.
Especially with Mike Dunlaps player-development agenda and our players getting into the mindset of coming in every day (of the off-season), we wanted to have a system in place where it would be very easy for them to go through their normal regimen, Whitfield said.
So the Bobcats arranged to use Johnson & Wales gymnasium on the edge of uptown as their temporary training facility. The college will turn over the gym, two locker rooms, their training room and a player lounge to the Bobcats exclusive use from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., until fall classes begin the second week of September.
For the rest of September, the Bobcats will get Johnson & Wales gym two hours each morning. As a perk, J&W students will be invited to watch pickup games from the gyms bleachers.

Replica of Vietnam Veterans Memorial set up at Georgetown
Wednesday - 10/9/2013, 7:41am  ET
WASHINGTON - Fulfilling its purpose of bringing "the Wall" to communities that can't easily visit it, Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund organizers never expected to set up the traveling memorial in D.C.
But just inside the front gates of Georgetown University sits a sight one may expect to find across town -- on a smaller scale.
The walkways to and from the Vietnam Memorial on the National Mall are blocked and off-limits to pedestrians due to the government shutdown. In response, Georgetown partnered with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund to allow visitors, tourists and school groups to have access to "the Wall."
"It's an exact one-half scale replica from the size of 'the Wall' down to the font on it," says Erica Ross with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund.
Set up in a similar fashion, it juts in front of Georgetown's Healy Hall at an angle, propped up in a high-traffic area of campus that is now quiet.
As they walk by, many students and faculty recognize it as the Vietnam Memorial and fall silent.
"I have lots of ties to the military in my family, so I was really pleased. It's the first time and it's great to see it," says student Chloe Nalbantian.
Beyond its own significance, the temporary memorial is placed outside the Joseph Mark Lauinger Memorial Library on campus, named for a Georgetown student who gave his life serving in Vietnam.
"He's on panel 14 west. So we've been pointing out to students," Ross says.
After reading his biography and seeing Lauinger's medals displayed inside the library recently, freshman Jose Cantu appreciates the university's gesture.
"The man truly died a hero. Thinking about it now, this is a very good spot for it - both remembrance of him, and all the other veterans who gave their lives for their country," Cantu says.
The free shuttle bus to the temporary memorial runs from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Friday. Parking on Georgetown's campus is free and available in the garage over the weekends.
The replica will be on display and free to visit through Monday, Oct. 14.

CLARINGTON -- A teenage boy was found dead in the Bowmanville library washroom on Thursday, Feb. 21.
Around 6:30 p.m. library staff discovered the main floor accessible washroom was locked. Staff called a maintenance worker who unlocked the door.
Inside they found a young man without vital signs on the floor, according to Clarington Fire Chief Gord Weir.
Staff called 911 and grabbed a defibrillator to try to save the teenager.
"They did everything they should do," said Chief Weir.
Paramedics and firefighters arrived shortly afterward and were unable to revive the boy. He was pronounced dead by a coroner.
The cause of death is not yet known, according to Chief Weir.
The library was open again Friday morning. Staff were going to have a debriefing meeting later that morning.
"It's not what they're used to. They'll work through it. Everybody seemed to be coping," said Chief Weir.

Female journalists sexually assaulted in Cairo by police, teen mob
- Egyptian-born U.S. columnist Mona Eltahawy, left, says she was sexually assaulted by local police. CBS's Lara Logan, right, was sexually assaulted in Tahrir Square in February. Eltahawy photo: AP/Courtesy Mona Eltahawy. Logan photo: U.S.Army
PARIS (AP) - A French TV journalist said Friday she was punched and roughed up, then sexually assaulted while covering protests in Egypt's Tahrir Square, the second attack reported in a single day on women journalists working there.
Caroline Sinz told France 3 television, her employer, that she and her cameraman were set upon by young men in the square then separated on Thursday. She said she was punched, then "subjected to a sexual aggression in front of everyone in full daylight."
Providing more detail in an interview with RMC radio, she said boys 14 to 16 years old "tore off my clothes and undergarments" and assaulted her.
Mona Eltahawy, a prominent Egyptian-born U.S. columnist, said she was sexually assaulted, beaten and blindfolded Thursday near the square - by local police. She said the police then dragged her to the nearby Interior Ministry by her hair and detained her there for 12 hours.
Eltahawy, based in New York, is a women's rights defender, a lecturer on the role of social media in the Arab world and a former Reuters journalist.
In February, Lara Logan, a U.S. correspondent for CBS television, was sexually assaulted by a frenzied mob in Tahrir Square.
On Thursday night, the media watchdog Reporters Without Borders advised media outlets that "there is no other solution" but to hold off on sending female journalists to Egypt.
But when that advice was criticized in France on Friday, the Paris-based organization toned down its warning, urging media outlets to show "great care with the safety of the reporters they send."
"It is more dangerous for a woman than a man to cover the demonstrations in Tahrir Square," Reporters Without Borders said. "That is the reality and the media must face it."

Pity the Vancouver Canucks didn't have those Millionaire costumes on Tuesday night because they certainly enjoyed a throwback night.
They got an old time, '70s style, down-the-wing slap shot goal from Jannik Hansen that must have reminded every Canuck fan over 50 of Stan Smyl's glory days.
They got a vintage magic goal from Daniel Sedin who converted a seeing-eye pass from his brother and also threw in some tremendous moves which didn't quite turn to gold on some other occasions as the Sedins were on top form.
They got manna from heaven in the form of a goal from Dale Weise and an assist from Jordan Schroeder and they got old time goaltending from Cory Schneider that reminded everyone of well, Cory Schneider.
They had their usual dreadful third period, of course, now having been outscored 9-3 in their last three third stanzas, but they had built up enough capital to emerge with their dignity intact.
The confluence of these factors resulted in a much-needed victory that certainly didn't look possible after the first period, which was dominated so much by St. Louis.
They peppered the goalie Alain Vigneault had pressured so much after the morning skate when he said that he, as a coach, had to be standing at the same podium after the game and able to declare that he had the best goaltender of the night. He was certainly able to make that claim — and did.
"It's a big science isn't it," joked Vigneault, "you need great goaltending to win in this league. We were looking for our hands and our legs in the first period and he made some big saves for us and allowed us to get up in the second and both goals in the third were bad bounces. They were both going wide but all of a sudden they're in the back of the net and we're in a challenging situation."
Schneider has spent a good deal of time with goalie coach Roland Melanson this past week and their work certainly seems to have paid off with the goalie coming out of mothballs the way he did last season to throw up a great performance. He kept his teammates from being dynamited out of their own building early on.
"If you give up a couple of those (in the first period) and fall down 2-0 against this team it's pretty well a death sentence," said Schneider, who celebrated his 27th birthday sitting on the bench watching Roberto Luongo play Monday night.
"So it was pretty nice to make those saves," he added. "The glove saves were nice, you always like those because it means you're tracking the puck pretty well. The goals in the third were just bounces but there's been quite a few of those lately. Ask Lu, he's had quite a few like that too."
While they did manage the victory, there was also something disquieting in the game to those who think the Canucks might still compete for a Stanley Cup this season in the event they get Ryan Kesler, David Booth and Zack Kassian back together and ready to go in the playoffs. And this of course assumes they make the post season.
The Blues were so superior in almost every aspect of the game it was ridiculous. Both the first and third periods gave the impression the ice was tilted in one direction, the locals decidedly skating uphill. Only the Sedins seemed able to stem the tide. And while this team would certainly have a different look with those three big forwards in the lineup, you have to wonder whether they can play at a high enough level consistently enough to make any kind of significant run.
If they get goaltending like they did in this one, there's no question about competing and winning at any level. Any team could. But any drop-off from this form and the question remains, particularly given both Anaheim and Chicago might well be stronger opponents than the Blues.

JP Trophy
October 9, 2012
Mukendi of U's trophy dreams
Henoc Mukendi booked Northampton place in the next round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy after they came from behind to beat 10-man Colchester 2-1.
Cobblers went close through Kelvin Langmead's deflected header and Kemar Roofe shot straight at the experienced Mark Cousins in the United goal, as did top scorer Alex Nicholls.
But Colchester had the better of the first half and created a couple of good chances. Ian Henderson tested Shane Higgs and Clinton Morrison missed a great chance after racing clear of the home defence.
Northampton's best chance fell to Adebayo Akinfenwa who saw his header hit the bar before Freddie Sears broke the deadlock after half an hour, superbly volleying home a right wing cross from ex-Cobbler Henderson.
Akinfenwa went close to an equaliser when he screwed his shot wide but it took a superb block from Chris Hackett to prevent Sears from doubling his tally after more good work from Henderson on the flank.
The returning Higgs had to be replaced by Dean Snedker who saw another effort from Henderson deflected for a corner before he did well to foil Morrison after the restart.
But Akinfenwa equalised six minutes into the second half from the penalty spot after Roofe was upended in the box. And three minutes later Mukendi opened his account when he converted a cross from the impressive Ishmel Demontagnac.
Sears nearly levelled with another sweet volley but Nicholls went close to extending Northampton's lead after cutting into the box and he was also just off target late on.
Colchester offered little in the second half and to make matters worse Morrison was sent-off in stoppage-time for a challenge on David Artell.

3 Books That Will Bring Out Your Inner Artist
Even if you can't tell a pencil from a pastel, these books will coax your artwork onto the page.
O, The Oprah Magazine |
January 10, 2012
Keri Smith
192 pages
"Do a really ugly drawing." "Scribble wildly, violently, with reckless abandon." "Draw lines while in motion." Wreck This Journal encourages you to stop fretting about quality and start relishing the artistic process. Download the book's digital companion, Wreck This App, for tools like a fingerprint stamp and virtual ink that "drips" when you tilt your screen.
In the 1920s, surrealists played a collaborative game in which each person took a turn illustrating a small fragment while looking only at the bit directly before their own. Eventually, a fantastical group drawing would be revealed. This modern take features the work of 100 artists, whose images may inspire your own game.
304 pages
Bored with doodling the same old puppy dogs and smiley faces? This sturdy journal pairs blank pages with inventive, sometimes off-the-wall drawing prompts that can appeal to the eager beginner (draw a skateboard, a hammock), the more experienced sketcher (a three-toed sloth, a robot), and the whimsical visionary (a Beatles song, the sound of girlish laughter).

Cleveland Community Ponders Decade-Old Kidnapping Case
It's been a week since three women kidnapped more than a decade ago escaped from a house in Cleveland. Residents are trying to come to terms that the missing women had been living near them the whole time.
Copyright © 2013 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
It's now been a week since three women escaped from a partially boarded-up home in a neighborhood of Cleveland. Amanda Berry, Michelle Knight and Gina DeJesus were kidnapped more than a decade ago, and they are now free. The accused, Ariel Castro, is behind bars facing multiple charges, including kidnapping and rape. After being in the national spotlight, the neighborhood where all this took place is much quieter now, but residents are having a difficult time moving on. From member station WCPN, Nick Castele reports.
NICK CASTELE, BYLINE: On Saturday, work crews nailed plywood over the windows of Ariel Castro's house and began to put up a fence to preserve any possible evidence. Just one week ago, jubilant crowds gathered here to marvel at and celebrate the women's rescue. Now, city councilman Brian Cummins is talking about protecting the home from vandals.
BRIAN CUMMINS: There's been rumors, comments, from community members, threats of burning the house down.
CASTELE: Many neighbors here say they're frustrated and perplexed, some even ashamed that they never figured out that the missing women were being held here all along. Joseph Mandry lives down the street, and on Saturday night he was talking with friends and looking at the house on Seymour Avenue. He says he remembers seeing Castro at cookouts and Christmas parties. Mandry says some people think the national attention is giving their neighborhood a bad name.
JOSEPH MANDRY: There's plenty of people angry about this, you know. They wish they knew way before.
CASTELE: But Mandry insists there's no way he could have known about the three women. He says Castro worked too hard to conceal his crimes. At a Saturday rally, Maria Davila is pinning a ribbon to her son's shirt and says she also remembers seeing Castro at neighborhood events.
MARIA DAVILA: It's embarrassing for the community to have to deal with such a travesty. Like, such a monster, he was just out in public, and everyone saw him. We all knew him. And then all of a sudden, you know, we find out this.
CASTELE: And she says she worries that Hispanics like her will now be viewed in a different light.
DAVILA: Times like this is when you really don't want to be Hispanic.
CASTELE: Omar Medina, a local evangelical pastor, has come to Seymour Avenue to pray for the women's recovery. He says Cleveland's Hispanic community won't be defined by this. But he concedes the realization that the women went unnoticed in a neighbor's home for so long could shake people's ability to trust one another.
OMAR MEDINA: We usually tell our kids, Don't trust strangers. But here we have a situation where he was not a stranger. Everybody in that community knew him.
CASTELE: Councilman Brian Cummins sees a possible connection between the abandoned homes in the neighborhood and the frustration residents feel in this hardscrabble part of town.
CUMMINS: I mean, it's commonplace now for people to be living in a street and to look at a house that's either partially boarded, has possibly windows broken on the second floor because the city does not board up second-floor windows.
CASTELE: But just down the street is a booming restaurant brewery district and other development projects are in the works. Some here are also troubled that the police didn't find the women so much as the women found police. One of the women, Michelle Knight, was removed from an FBI missing persons list because police couldn't confirm she was still missing.
CASTELE: In honor of Michelle Knight, about a hundred residents marched toward Seymour Avenue on Saturday, carrying balloons shouting her name. But they were also shouting for the people who are still missing.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Who are we marching for?
CROWD: Michelle. And the missing.
CASTELE: Omar Medina, the pastor, says it's all the reason more for the community to welcome police to block clubs and into churches and events.
MEDINA: Keep them engaged all of the time, and hold them more accountable.
CASTELE: Like others here, he sees this as an opportunity to make this neighborhood a closer one. For NPR News, I'm Nick Castele in Cleveland.

Long Island Memories
Village Stops Occupancy OK Until Better Roads Installed The Board of Trustees of The Incorporated Village of Massa-pequa Park decided not to issue any more certificates of occupancy to the homes in Baywood Homes until better temporary roads are installed. Trustee Jerry King said that the area is a health hazard." Red dust flies and calcium choloride is no answer. With a rain there would be suts and puddles and the same thing would happen as in other areas without roads, the residents would be denied services since delivery trucks refuse to go down in such roads as do school buses, he said.

text: Precision Ag Conference scheduled for JanuaryKansas The Kansas Ag Research and Technology Association would like to announce that registration is now being accepted for the 16th Annual Precision Agricultural Technologies Conference, which will be held Jan. 17 to 18, 2013, in Salina, Kan. This annual event brings hundreds of agricultural producers and industry leaders for a two-day interactive workshop on the ever-changing precision agriculture industry. The funds generated through the association dues and conference registrations are used to provide grants to facilitate on-farm research projects and instructional workshops on the hardware and software necessary to conduct agricultural research trials. Those in attendance at the conference will hear presentations from dynamic speakers on a wide variety of topics dealing with precision agriculture. The two-day event also includes vendor displays, the KARTA Annual Meeting, research presentations from grant recipients, and an interactive evening discussion that is always an attendee favorite. "We have big plans for growing the statewide conference this year," says KARTA Board President Dietrich Kastens. "In addition to the line-up of speakers addressing cutting-edge developments in the precision agriculture industry, we have added two new elements that will hopefully bring in new participants and broaden our audience." A new subsidized student registration option is catered to agricultural students at all of the state's post-secondary educational institutions. A discounted registration of only $50 will allow students at all levels of their education to network with producers and industry leaders. "We think it is important that students have the opportunity to participate in this growing event," Kastens says. "We want the next generation of farmers to gain insight on their field of work from first-hand producers who are on the cutting edge of precision agriculture." The second element that has been added to the conference is a new online payment service. Anyone who signs up for the conference by downloading the registration form from www.kartaonline.org can indicate on their form that they would like to pay with a credit card. After they mail in the form, they will be contacted by email with a link to an online payment platform that they can conveniently access at any time.

Bought this for a recent walk along part of the Camino de Santiago in Spain. Temperatures were in the high 30's with high humidity virtually no shade and we were carrying most of our gear. A great fit and the sweat just wicked away so it never felt uncomfortable. All it needed was a quick rinse in the evening and it was dry again ready for the next day. A brilliant garment, which looks like it will last well. Excellent value for money. I've already bought the long sleeve version for autumn walks in the UK |

[JURIST] One in every 100 US adults is currently in prison, according to a report [PDF text; press release] released Thursday by the Pew Center on the States (PCS) [organization website]. The report found that males were 17 times more likely than females to be imprisoned, and that African Americans and Hispanics faced significantly higher incarceration rates than Caucasians. Since 1987, the national prison population has nearly tripled and state spending on corrections has skyrocketed to $44 billion per year, increases that the report attributed to the prevalence of stiffer sentences for nonviolent crimes and repeat offenders during the 1980s and 90s. In all, the nation's prisons house roughly 1.6 million inmates, more than any other country in the world. AP has more. The New York Times has additional coverage. Rising numbers of inmates in US prisons has been a concern for years. The US Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) [official website] reported late last year that nationwide over two million people were in prison or jail in 2006 [JURIST report], with a total of 7.2 million people behind bars, on probation or on parole. The US prison and jail population added prisoners [press release; JURIST report] at a rate of 2.6 percent and more than 1,000 new inmates a week from mid-2004 to mid-2005, according to another 2006 BJS report [summary; PDF text]. A report [PDF text] released in November 2007 by the JFA Institute [advocacy website] concluded that the US prison population is currently eight times as high as it was in 1970 [JURIST report].
[JURIST] US Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) [official website] Thursday called for the US Justice Department to launch a grand jury investigation to determine if misdemeanor contempt of Congress charges [H Res 979 materials] should be prosecuted against former White House legal counsel Harriet Miers and White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten [official profiles] for failing to cooperate with an inquiry into the US Attorneys firing scandal [JURIST news archive]. Pelosi made the request in letters [text] sent to US Attorney General Michael Mukasey and US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeffrey Taylor, saying to Mukasey:
There is no authority by which persons may wholly ignore a subpoena and fail to appear as directed because a President unilaterally instructs them to do so. Even if a subpoenaed witness intends to assert a privilege in response to questions, the witness is not at liberty to disregard the subpoena and fail to appear at the required time and place. Surely, your Department would not tolerate that type of action if the witness were subpoenaed to a federal grand jury. Short of a formal assertion of executive privilege, which cannot be made in this case, there is no authority that permits a President to advise anyone to ignore a duly issued congressional subpoena for documents.Your press spokesman has stated that you will "act promptly" to review this matter and reach a final decision. We will appreciate your acting with appropriate dispatch on this important matter. I strongly urge you to reconsider your position and to ensure that our nation is operating under the rule of law and not at presidential whim. If, however, you intend to persist in preventing Mr. Taylor from carrying out his statutory obligation to present this matter to the grand jury in the District of Columbia, we respectfully request that you inform us of that decision within one week from today, so that the House may proceed with a civil enforcement suit in federal district court.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on Thursday upheld [order, PDF; ACLU press release] a district court's denial [JURIST report] of an emergency injunction to block enforcement of an Arizona law that penalizes employers who hire illegal immigrants while opponents of the law argue their case [ACLU materials] before the appellate court. Civil rights groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, filed a lawsuit and application for a temporary restraining order [PDF texts] against the Legal Arizona Workers Act [AZHB 2779 text, PDF; Arizona Republic backgrounder] in December 2007, alleging that the Act could either cause irreparable injury or undue hardship to state employers if allowed to operate during trial. The Legal Arizona Workers Act, which went into effect on January 1, allows the Superior Courts of Arizona to suspend or revoke the business licenses of businesses that intentionally or knowingly employ illegal immigrants. Under the law, employers will be required to check the legal status of new hires using E-Verify [DHS backgrounder], a free online federal program that checks names and identification documents to determine employment eligibility. A district court upheld the law [JURIST report] earlier this month after having previously dismissed [PDF text; JURIST report] an earlier lawsuit [complaint, PDF] against the new law filed by the ACLU and other civil rights groups. When Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano signed the legislation [JURIST report] in July, she called the law "the most aggressive action in the country against employers who knowingly or intentionally hire undocumented workers." AP has more.
[JURIST] Serbian Justice Minister Dusan Petrovic [official profile, in Serbian] signed an extradition request [press release] Thursday for the widow and son of former Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic [JURIST news archive]. Mirjana Markovic [BBC profile] and her son Marko currently reside in Russia but are wanted in Serbia on charges [JURIST report] related their alleged involvement in a cigarette smuggling ring in the early 1990s. Markovic and her son have denied the allegations but refuse to return to Serbia to face charges. A spokesman for the Russian Federal Migration Service said that Markovic and Milosevic were granted refugee status in March 2006 in accordance with a UN convention. Serbian prosecutors said earlier this month that the two could be tried in absentia [JURIST report].In July 2006, a Serbian court reissued an international arrest warrant for Markovic because she had on multiple occasions failed to appear in court [JURIST reports] to face abuse of power charges. Slobodan Milosevic died from heart failure [JURIST report] in March 2006 while in detention at The Hague. RIA Novosti has more.
[JURIST] Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque [official profile, in Spanish] signed two international human rights treaties on Thursday, making Cuba party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights [texts]. Both treaties build upon ideas contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights [text], to which Cuba is already a signatory. In December 2007, Perez announced plans to sign the treaties [JURIST report] and also said that Cuba would begin allowing UN observers to monitor its human rights [VOA report] beginning in 2009. AP has more.TheCuban Commission for Human Rights and National Reconciliation (CCDHRN) [El Pais backgrounder, in Spanish] noted in January that although the number of political prisoners in Cuba [JURIST archive] has decreased from 283 at the end of 2006 to to 234 at the end of 2007, human rights abuses continue [JURIST report] in the communist Caribbean state.
[JURIST] A key witness in the war crimes trial [JURIST report] of former Liberian President Charles Taylor [SCSL case materials; JURIST news archive] has been moved into hiding after being threatened for testifying before the Special Court for Sierra Leone [official website], chief prosecutor Stephen Rapp said Thursday. Varmuyan Sherif, one of Taylor's former bodyguards, testified in January that Taylor had supplied weapons, cash and gear to militia involved in Sierra Leone's 10-year civil war [BBC backgrounder], which ended in 2002. Other potential witnesses have also received threats, while still others have testified in closed door sessions for fear of retaliation from Taylor's supporters. AP has more.Also Thursday, Rapp said in an AFP interview [AFP report] that he was close to seizing $600 million of Taylor's assets, thought to have been stolen from the Liberian treasury or obtained from trafficking in blood diamonds. Rapp said he is working with a special team from the British government to ensure that the assets are distributed to victims in Sierra Leone and Liberia. In July 2007, the Liberian government submitted a draft bill [JURIST report] to the country's legislature to authorize the government to seek foreign assistance to track, freeze and confiscate Taylor's funds, properties and assets. Taylor faces eleven charges [indictment, PDF], including murder, rape, and the recruitment and use of child soldiers during the bloody civil war in Sierra Leone [JURIST news archive].
[JURIST] The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) [official website] on Thursday ruled against the deportation [judgment; press release] of former Tunisian terror suspect Nassim Saadi, finding that evidence provided by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch showed that he would likely be subjected to torture in violation of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights [PDF text] if returned to Tunisia:
143. In the present case the Court has had regard, firstly, to the reports of Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch on Tunisia ... which describe a disturbing situation. The conclusions of those reports are corroborated by the report of the US State Department ... In particular, these reports mention numerous and regular cases of torture and ill-treatment meted out to persons accused under the 2003 Prevention of Terrorism Act. The practices reported - said to be often inflicted on persons in police custody with the aim of extorting confessions - include hanging from the ceiling, threats of rape, administration of electric shocks, immersion of the head in water, beatings and cigarette burns, all of these being practices which undoubtedly reach the level of severity required by Article 3. It is reported that allegations of torture and ill-treatment are not investigated by the competent Tunisian authorities, that they refuse to follow up complaints and that they regularly use confessions obtained under duress to secure convictions ... Bearing in mind the authority and reputation of the authors of these reports, the seriousness of the investigations by means of which they were compiled, the fact that on the points in question their conclusions are consistent with each other and that those conclusions are corroborated in substance by numerous other sources ... the Court does not doubt their reliability. Moreover, the respondent Government have not adduced any evidence or reports capable of rebutting the assertions made in the sources cited by the applicant. ...146. In these circumstances, the Court considers that in the present case substantial grounds have been shown for believing that there is a real risk that the applicant would be subjected to treatment contrary to Article 3 of the Convention if he were to be deported to Tunisia. ...148. Furthermore, it should be pointed out that even if, as they did not do in the present case, the Tunisian authorities had given the diplomatic assurances requested by Italy, that would not have absolved the Court from the obligation to examine whether such assurances provided, in their practical application, a sufficient guarantee that the applicant would be protected against the risk of treatment prohibited by the Convention ... The weight to be given to assurances from the receiving State depends, in each case, on the circumstances obtaining at the material time.
[JURIST] An Indonesian court Thursday dismissed a civil corruption case against Tommy Suharto [BBC report], the youngest son of former Indonesian President Haji Mohammad Suharto [CNN profile; JURIST news archive]. The court also awarded some $550,000 to Suharto on a counter-claim for damages. Lawyers for Suharto argued that the case should be dismissed because related criminal charges had been dropped, but prosecutors argued that the law permits a civil suit even where a defendant was not criminally liable.Prosecutors brought the suit [JURIST report] in November 2007 to recover an alleged $55 million in losses related to a land exchange scam from the mid-1990s, in which Tommy Suharto allegedly traded inexpensive swamp land to government-run logistics agency Bulog [official website] in return for high value real estate in Jakarta. In October 2006, Tommy Suharto was released from prison by court order [JURIST report] after serving a sentence for hiring a hitman to kill a Supreme Court judge [BBC report] who had found him guilty in an earlier corruption case. AFP has more.
[JURIST] Afghan Deputy Chief Judge Mohammed Omar Ishaqzai said that Afghan journalism student Sayad Parwaz Kambaksh should be permitted to appeal a death sentence that resulted from a trial where he says he was not represented by a lawyer [JURIST report], the Independent reported Thursday. Kambaksh was sentenced to death [JURIST report] in January for distributing papers questioning gender roles under Islamic practice. Ishaqzai, who heads the court that sentenced Kambaksh but had no involvement in the trial, said that Kambaksh should be permitted to appeal the case in Kabul, and chided the Afghan Senate for prematurely approving Kambaksh's death sentence because Kambaksh had not yet exhausted his right to appeals. The Independent has more.Kambaksh was convicted of blasphemy for distributing papers questioning why Islam permits men to have up to four wives while women cannot have multiple husbands. The closed court invoked Article 130 of the Afghanistan Constitution [text] to sentence Kambaksh to death, a penalty for blasphemy consistent with Hanafi [GlobalSecurity backgrounder] law. Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai has received international pressure to pardon Kambaksh, but said earlier this month that he would not intervene during the pendency of Kambaksh's appeal [JURIST reports]. Afghan Supreme Court Justice Bahauddin Baha said last week that the appeals hearing would be held in open court and that Kambaksh will be allowed to choose his own defense lawyer for the proceeding.
[JURIST] A 28-mile "virtual fence" [JURIST report] along the US-Mexico border [GlobalSecurity backgrounder], known as Project 28, has been placed on hold due to technical issues, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) said during a joint hearing [materials] Wednesday before two subcommittees of the House Committee on Homeland Security [official website]. Richard Stana of the GAO testified [PDF text] that Border Patrol officials have said that Project 28 "is not an optimal system," saying that:
Border Patrol agents from the Tucson sector provided examples of Project 28 capabilities that do not adequately support Border Patrol operations because of their design. As noted earlier in this statement, Border Patrol agents have had difficulties using the laptops mounted into agent vehicles to provide them with COP information... Project 28, an early technology project, resulted in a product that did not fully meet user needs and the project's design will not be used as the basis for future SBInet development.
[JURIST] Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] returned to Thailand Thursday from self-imposed exile to face corruption charges laid against him after he was ousted in a military coup [JURIST report] in September 2006. Thai authorities arrested Thaksin immediately upon his return and later released him on bail [Bangkok Post report]. Thai investigators formally asked state prosecutors earlier this month to bring new charges [JURIST report] against Thaksin and his wife Pojamarn Shinawatra for allegedly concealing assets. Pojamarn returned to Thailand from self-imposed exile [JURIST report] last month to face corruption and fraud charges. A Thai court issued an arrest warrant for Thaksin and his wife in August and a second warrant in September [JURIST reports]. Thaksin and Pojamarn have been accused of abuse of power for personal gain [JURIST report], conflict of interest violations, and dereliction of duty for personal gain in charges stemming from a 2003 land purchase by Pojaman from the government-directed Financial Institutions Development Fund [official website]. Both have previously refused to return to Thailand to face charges because they do not expect to receive a fair trial [JURIST report]. While Thaksin was banned from politics for five years following 2006 coup, his opponents fear that his return to Thailand will allow him to influence politics with many Thaksin supporters sitting in Thailand's parliament. Thaksin has promised [Bangkok Post report] not to get involved in politics. BBC News has more. The Bangkok Post has local coverage.
[JURIST] Chadian President Idriss Deby [official website, in French; BBC profile] agreed to an international investigation [statement, in French] into allegations of abuse of power during a meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy [BBC profile] Wednesday. The decision follows accusations [JURIST report] leveled by Amnesty International [advocacy website] that the government of Chad [JURIST news archive] is using the current state of emergency [JURIST report] to clamp down on journalists and members of peaceful opposition parties. Amnesty said that the government has arrested at least three opposition members [press release] and that some newspapers in Chad have ceased publishing due to potential censorship, with many journalists fleeing the country. During Sarkozy's one-day visit to Chad, Sarkozy also encouraged Deby to pardon six French aid workers convicted in Chad in December of attempting to kidnap [JURIST reports] 103 African children. Deby said earlier in February that he is prepared to pardon the French citizens [JURIST report]. AP has more.Earlier this month, Deby declared a state of emergency [text, in French] throughout Chad, citing increased violence between government forces and rebels in the capital city of N'Djamena. The order bans most public meetings, imposes a curfew, authorizes government censorship of the press, and allows regional governments to regulate travel. The recent fighting in Chad is the most recent eruption of longstanding hostilities between the Chadian government and several rebel groups seeking to depose Deby. An estimated 20,000 civilians have fled the capital [NYT report] since violence escalated earlier this month. The UN Security Council has condemned the fighting [press release; JURIST report] and urged neighboring countries to help stop the rebel forces.
[JURIST] Egyptian police arrested 25 members of the opposition Muslim Brotherhood [party website; FAS backgrounder] Wednesday, following the arrest of 17 members on Tuesday. Muslim Brotherhood members believe the arrests targeted potential candidates for the upcoming April 8 provincial council elections [MB report]. Egypt's provincial councils administer local municipal government services. These municipal elections were originally scheduled for 2006, but the Egyptian legislature passed a law [JURIST report] to delay the elections for two years after the Muslim Brotherhood made a strong showing in the 2005 parliamentary elections. Last Wednesday, Egyptian police arrested 70 members, following the arrest of 51 members [JURIST reports] last Sunday. AP has more.The Muslim Brotherhood is the largest opposition party in Egypt [JURIST news archive] and more than 600 of its members have been detained this year alone. Its members run officially as independents because the Muslim Brotherhood has been banned in Egypt since 1954. Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] has criticized [press release] Egypt for repressing the group in a manner that "flouts fundamental human rights and freedoms." The Egyptian government accuses the organization of trying to create an Islamic theocracy through violence.

U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> Details
Authored by Dr. Gabriel Marcella.
+[Haiti] +[legitimacy] +[sovereignty law] +[handoff]
Now that the armed forces of the United States have entered Haiti, what is the exit strategy? As the United States, the government of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and the United Nations coalition establish order, it is best to be mindful of the tasks ahead: building a new authority system based on the rule of law, instilling respect for human rights, and developing those values common to democratic communities around the world. The two keys to the success of this strategy will be how Haiti handles the amnesty question and what kind of judicial and police system is developed. The United States should not allow its exit strategy to be determined by the success or failure of the above. In this paper, Professor Gabriel Marcella of the U.S. Army War College proposes an interlocking strategy that emphasizes the achievement of limited objectives by the United States. He contends that our strategy should emphasize the humanitarian dimensions of our assistance rather than pursue the open-ended goal of the restoration of democracy. Such an approach provides the United States greater hope for success and the probability of a dignified exit.

"Best B & B in Rome maybe Italy!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 12, 2013
Great location - a few hundred meters (all downhill) from the Vatican Museum,St. Peter's Square, and church. Sometimes I hopped a taxi for 5 - 6 Euros for the long walk up the hill. There is a central bus depot at the bottom of the hill where you can get buses there for all over the city- Bus 81 will give you a wonderfulcity tour. Get a 1- 3 or 7 day bus pass. Also, at the bottom of the street -about 3 blocks away is a Metro stop. Paolo, the owner, was very accomodating. He found me a driver to the airport for 50 Euros (which was 25 less than I paid coming in from the airport). Joanna, the young woman who sets out the breakfast everyday and cleans the rooms, is a gem - sweet, polite, and appreciative of any tip you leave (I ususally give the equivalent of $1 or in this case 1 euro). She would leave me little notes thanking me profusely. Because I was leaving quite a bit earlier than the regular breakfast time she gave me a croissant the day before and a bowl of cereal and a cup of milk. All rooms have a refrigerator so the milk kept well. I also used it to store yogurt and other foods I had bought at a local store. There is a table and chairs in each room for eating. I stayed in 6 hotels or B & B's on my 3 week trip and this was the best.
"Excellent location"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 8, 2013
It was a great location. However, the hotel name sign was not lit and due to very small sign on the street level outside the building, I had a tough time finding the hotel. The street building #s were not visible outside the building so I had to count building and doors to find the right entrance. An instructions on location of the building / entrance via email would have been helpful. The staff was extremely helpful once I arrived.
"A Bit of a Walk from Attractions"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 5, 2013
We stayed with Residenza for our second leg of our trip to Rome and thought this hotel would be a great location since it is situated near the Spanish Steps. However, we thought it was actually a bit of a walk from the metro and was pretty difficult to find on our own. We actually ended up staying at the Residenza sister hotel a few blocks away because when we checked in there was a power outage. Although that was inconvenient the hotel handled the situation very well. The breakfast was disappointing since they only offered 2 biscuits, hardly enough to prepare you for a day of exploring.
"In the heart of Rome"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 4, 2013
Had a wonderful stay,staff was very friendly and the room was clean and the price was right in the off season.Located near the Pantheon.
"Good price, next to Termini Station."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 2, 2013
Nice place, simple breakfast. However, since the breakfast is help yourself, this can work out if you have to leave early, i.e., before breakfast is served at most hotels. Very good price. Very near termini station. Be aware if you are showing up at an odd hour, you'll need to arrange for the attendant to be at the desk. Recommend emailing them and letting them know ahead of time when you'll be in.
