Investors are turning away from the North Sea due to a lack of significant new reserves, according to the founder of a leading oil and gas exploration company.
A FORMAL currency sharing deal between an independent Scotland and the rest of the UK would be "unlikely," one of the world's biggest banks has warned.
THE president of the European Parliament has blocked legal advice on whether an independent Scotland could be fast-tracked to EU membership.
THE pro and anti-independence campaigns have gone head to head in the battle for the female vote on the eve of International Women's Day.
The Queen's representatives who manage Scotland's shores are working for the benefit of the UK Treasury and not the coastal communities who live and work there, according to a Westminster committee.
Concerns over the future of an independent Scotland's fiscal position, the size of its banking sector and its monetary regime have been highlighted in a report by a global banking group.
The Royal Bank of Scotland's head of group economics has defended London against critics who insist it is a "drain on the rest of the UK".
Calls for a monetary union between an independent Scotland and the rest of the UK are akin to "embarking on a damaging divorce" but insisting on still sharing a credit card, Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander has said.
Investment and savings business Alliance Trust has announced it is to set up additional companies in England as a result of uncertainty surrounding the independence referendum.
THE war of words over the possible currency of an independent Scotland has intensified after Alex Salmond's economic advisers stuck by their support for a monetary union.
THE Labour Party is set to make devolution of the Crown Estate's ancient rights and responsibilities part of the package of proposals for greater powers for the Scottish Parliament, due to be unveiled shortly.
THE chief executive of insurance giant Aviva has said the independence referendum was a matter for the Scottish people.
iScotland would be creditworthy without banks
A little more conversation, a lot less friction
iScotland plans should answer businesses fears
Why is Scotland being placed on the naughty step?
Do the English know what British actually means?
Your chance to question Alistair Darling

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has blamed a quango for the fact the Scottish Government was not told of a radiation leak on Scottish soil for more than two years.

Cheat: Max Weapons Glitch (Unconfirmed) Beat all Challenges of Olympus to unlock the Combat Arena. Start the Arena on Titan difficulty and die a few times. When the game asks if you'd like to switch difficulties, choose "No." Quit out and start a new game and you'll have all your weapons maxed out -- even in Chaos Mode.
[+] Hint: Weapon Carry Over Exploit
Hint: Weapon Carry Over Exploit There is a glitch where you can carry over your weapons and stuff to a new game. Note that this is an exploit, and may be patched with future updates to your Playstation 3™ You need to pass Challenge of Olympus first. Open up Combat Arena and set up the game as such: Other settings will not figure into this exploit. Start the match. Proceed to die five times by jumping in the air as the Gorgons freeze you causing Kratos to shatter (and die as a statue) as he hits the ground. Once you have done this, you will be asked if you want to switch to Easy Difficulty. Select "No" and upon choosing this, you will be taken back to the main menu. Choose 'New Game' at whatever difficulty you like and you will now have all the weapons, unlimited health and a good chance to break the game by breaking things before you normally would(i.e Smashing the onix on the back of the Three Judges heads).
Magic: Unlimited.
Item meter: Unlimited.
Difficulty: Titan.
Enemy 2: Gorgon (set to count 3 with attack and respawn on).
Hint: Extra Red Orbs When fighting those sword-wielding Olympian skeletons, kill some so that there about ten left and position Kratos with his back to to a wall. Equip the Claws of Hades (which need to be at level 2 or higher). Repeatedly lash out with the Soul Rip (L1 + CIRCLE) and you'll get hundreds, even over a thousand hits on just a few enemies. The Soul Rip attack deals very little damage. On hard modes you can probably increase the hit count further and be rewarded with more red orbs. Note: If you don't back against a wall you'll have to move towards enemies a bit after each attack.

Well, personally, I love swearing. Sorry. It's like sprinkling pepper on mashed potatoes. Like the flavor, and contrary to the cliche, don't think it indicates my vocabulary is particularly limited.This isn't about ''swearing''. This is about a group of people who appeal to a like-minded demographic, all of whom are perpetual 6th-graders stuck in a state of arrested development - performers and audience alikeOr in respect to the constant deference to genitals (remember Whoopi Goldberg at the NYC gala in '04 and her ''bush'' monologue complete with masturbation moves? A giggling Kerry &his wife were seated in the front row), they behave more like toddlers who've discovered the fascination of what's in their diapers and cannot resist walking around with their hands down their pants.Do they seriously still think this is ''taking it to the 'man''?So daring.

Stuttgart edge Hamburg, Augsburg held
Vedad Ibisevic scored the only goal as Stuttgart climbed out of the relegation zone with a 1-0 win at Hamburg.
Bruno Labbadia's men had dropped into the bottom three after Augsburg had shared a goalless draw with Nurnberg in the earlier game.
Ibisevic ensured his side were there for only a couple of hours, though, as he struck on the half-hour to grab just Stuttgart's second win in eight league games to start the season.
Saturday Round-up
Bayern Munich made it a record-breaking start to the Bundesliga season by recording their eighth successive win by routing Fortuna Dusseldorf 5-0.
Looking to beat their own record of seven straight wins from the season's outset, they emphasised their current superiority in German football with Mario Mandzukic and Luiz Gustavo giving them a two-goal advantage at half-time.
Thomas Muller added two more for the record German champions and Rafinha rounded off the comprehensive victory in the 87th minute of a one-sided game.
Defending champions Borussia Dortmund slipped further behind rampant Bayern after they were stunned 2-1 by Schalke in the Revier derby.
Ibrahim Afellay and Marco Hoger scored the goals for Huub Stevens' side, who emerged triumphant in the 141st derby encounter between the two sides, with Poland striker Robert Lewandowski's effort proving scant consolation.
Fourth-placed Dortmund are now 12 points adrift of Bayern as well as five behind Schalke in third place and their grip on their title already appears to be slipping after just eight games.
Eintracht Frankfurt bounced back from their first defeat of the season to see off Hannover 3-1 and remain five points adrift of Bayern in second.
The hosts were defeated by Borussia Monchengladbach before the international break but looked firmly on course to return to winning ways after Karim Matmour and Sebastian Jung put them 2-0 ahead.
Although Mohammed Abdellaoue pulled a goal back for Hannover shortly before the break, Alexander Meier made the points safe for Eintracht with eight minutes to go.
Gonzalo Castro's 87th-minute strike rescued a 2-2 draw for Bayer Leverkusen at home to Mainz.
Stefan Kiessling put Leverkusen ahead just before half-time but Adam Szalai and Marcel Risse turned the game on its head before Castro struck late on to ensure the points were shared.
Daniel Caligiuri's strike five minutes before the interval and Julian Schuster's goal in the 84th-minute goal gave Freiburg their first win on the road at rock-bottom Wolfsburg, who suffered their fourth successive defeat.
In the late kick-off, Werder Bremen hammered Borussia Monchengladbach 4-0.
Nils Petersen broke the deadlock in the 37th minute before Marko Arnautovic doubled Bremen's lead on stroke of half-time, with Niclas Fullkrug scoring a minute after being introduced in the 75th minute and Zlatko Junuzovic completing the romp four minutes from time.

Luckily, La Joya did indeed lose and now the two teams are tied for the final fourth spot. As a result, Mission and La Joya are competing in a play-in game tonight at Mission High School.
Ironically, the two teams played just a week ago, with the Lady Eagles winning by one, 40-39. With their loss to McHi on Tuesday, the Lady Coyotes have now dropped two straight and are 4-3 since the second half of district play started just less than a month ago. Mission, on the other hand, is 5-2, only losing to Nikki Rowe and Sharyland.
Despite losing the last two—by a combined total of three points—Morales feels his team is ready for tonight.
"We are feeling great. [Our] confidence is not an issue."
The key for the game, says Morales, is that his squad is aggressive on offense and defense. In the last two losses, the Lady Coyotes "had some mental breakdowns" that the coach says have since been corrected.
Of course Mission is hoping for La Joya's struggles to continue. Point guard Alejandra Cedillo has been the Lady Eagles' leader in running the offense and making plays. In these last seven games Cedillo has averaged just less than 14 points a game.
"[We need to] make sure she doesn't get any open looks," says Morales of his team's overall strategy of guarding the Eagle star.
On La Joya's side, there are plenty of guards capable of athletically competing with Cedillo. Point guard Elva Hinojosa and guard Karla Trevino have the defensive skills to stop the Eagles.
Tonight's game winner will move on to bi-district where they will face Laredo Alexander, the number-one seed from District 29-5A.
The game tonight begins at 6 p.m.
Other Games-Boys
Nikki Rowe at Mission: The Warriors are needing to rebound from their third district loss.
Sharyland at La Joya: A win tonight will secure the Rattlers as the District 30-5A Champs!
Palmview at McHi: The last time these two teams met, the Lobos were on fire and sent the Bulldogs home after a 58-37 shellacking. If the Lobos can win tonight they will officially clinch a postseason berth and disqualify McHi.
Brownsville Veterans Memorial at Veterans Memorial: The Chargers are the surprise team of District 32-4A and are looking to solidify themselves as the third seed. The Patriots, on the other hand, are out of contention and are playing for pride.
Roma at Juarez-Lincoln: A must win tonight against the district's top team. Not going to be easy considering the Gladiators are undefeated in district play.

Since its certification back in 1994, the hallmark of the remarkably successful Pilatus PC-12 turboprop single has been its tremendous flexibility and utility -- with a cabin full of passengers and cargo, it can go from a cozy dirt strip to the city lights a thousand miles distant, flying far above the terrain and much of the weather, and do so at very respectable speeds. Today, with the rising cost of fuel, the cost savings associated with having a single powerplant instead of two makes the airplane all the more desirable. Pilatus has more than 200 orders for the latest model, and used airplanes are typically going for 100 percent of their original price. To say that owners love this airplane is a huge understatement.
As with very few other airplanes, the Pilatus PC-12 has no real direct competition. A relatively fast, pressurized short/rough field, single-engine turboprop with a huge cabin, the airplane pretty much defines its own niche. The closest you can come is the Beech King Air B200, a great airplane, yes, but one that has two PT-6s instead of one.
When it came time for Pilatus to upgrade the PC-12, the first major move was obvious. The big Swiss single was one of the only high-end models still lacking flat-panel avionics. So the introduction of glass was a given, especially since the core mission of the airplane has become predominantly executive transport.
The Pilatus PC-12 NG is more than an avionics upgrade marketed as a new model. The NG incorporates dozens of substantial changes from spinner to tail, some intoduced on the NG model and some with recent upgrades. The result is an airplane that is better in very real ways than any previous PC-12.
I recently flew up to Denver to fly the PC-12 NG out of Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (still referred to as Jeffco [KBJC] by most pilots) on a warm, gray and soon to be bumpy early summer day. Demoing the airplane for me was Pilatus North America chief pilot Peter Duncan, who even after a few months of getting to know the next-gen model was still clearly enthralled by the changes.
As Peter walked me around the airplane, still ensconced in its air conditioned corporate hangar, we had to stop every few steps so he could show me an upgrade. It soon became clear that there was a lot more behind this PC-12 than just new avionics.
The New Avionics
When Pilatus announced the PC-12 NG at the National Business Aviation Association Convention last fall, it went with a new brand from an old company, the Honeywell Primus Apex. In reality, Apex seems a lot more like Honeywell's bizjet suite, Primus Epic, than a whole new suite. It incorporates many of the features you'd find in the biggest Gulfstreams and Falcons while using right-sized technology for features where it makes sense.
The system is anchored by four 10.4-inch displays, bounded by a pair of PFD/radio controllers alongside each PFD and an autopilot controller (for the excellent Honeywell digital autopilot) directly above the top MFD.

All of the guys who talked to him about this story basically said there seemed to be some holes in the story, but that it was a difficult topic to call him out on. If they would have called him out and pursued it really hard during the interviews and he wasn't lying they would be viewed as the biggest dicks ever. Kind of a tough situation for the reporters.

I say yes. The level of journalistic incompetence or extreme sloppiness he showed in reporting the Te'o story should be far above the threshold for termination.
1. Fact checkers contacted Stanford and could not uncover the fantasy girl ever being a student at Stanford.
2. Could not find any evidence of a death much less the funeral of the fantasy girl.
3. Not confirmed, but fact checkers have stated off the record that they also fact checked the alleged construction company she was running the time (Clark Construction I think and there was no record of the company much less her running it). Thamel admitted to 1 and 2.
4. Before you downvoters use your itchy trigger finger, remember he trashed us after the Orange Bowl.
Lastly, what kind of training goes on at the NY times? First Jason Blair and no this? Yes, Thamel was at the NY times until September.
The worst part of all of this; initially it looked like te'o was just trying to either protect himself from something coming out or this was an on campus story that spun out of control because it was picked up by ESPN and NBC. now it just looks like a scam (one he was in on the whole time) just to get pub.

- If, during the long course of ages and under varying conditions of life, organic beings vary at all in the several parts of their organization, and I think this cannot be disputed; if there be, owing to the high geometric powers of increase of each species, at some age, season or year, a severe struggle for life, and this certainly cannot be disputed; then, considering the infinite complexity of the relations of all organic beings to each other and to their conditions of existence, causing an infinite variety in structure, constitution, and habits, to be advantageous to them, I think it would be a most extraordinary fact if no variation ever had occurred useful to each being's own welfare, in the same way as so many variations have occurred useful to man. But if variations useful to any organic being do occur, assuredly individuals thus characterized will have the best chance of being preserved in the struggle for life; and from the strong principle of inheritance they will tend to produce offspring similarly characterized. This principle of preservation, I have called, for the sake of brevity, Natural Selection. [Charles Darwin (1859) On the Origin of Species]

- All the property that is necessary to a Man, for the Conservation of the Individual and the Propagation of the Species, is his natural Right, which none can justly deprive him of: But all Property superfluous to such purposes is the Property of the Publick, who, by their Laws, have created it, and who may therefore by other laws dispose of it, whenever the Welfare of the Publick shall demand such Disposition. He that does not like civil Society on these Terms, let him retire and live among Savages. He can have no right to the benefits of Society, who will not pay his Club towards the Support of it. -Benjamin Franklin

Racist Anti-Democracy in Ohio
Originally posted August 17, 2012.
Update November 4, 2012: Last-Minute Ohio Directive Could Trash Legal Votes And Swing The Election – Judd Legum on Nov 3, 2012 at 4:10 pm
The racist Ohio Secretary of State Husted at the eleventh hour issues rules for provisional ballots that will potentially rob Ohio citizens of their votes. As has become the habit of Romney operatives, Romney's campaign spokesmen, and, apologists and explainers and gobshitters associated with te GOP's efforts to, especially, suppress African-American votes, the goal of Husted could be re-stated:
Ohio Secretary of State accused of installing suspicious software on voting machines
The GOP is despicable, not generally, but specifically in their tenacious effort to make voting very hard for voters who support their opponents. Over the past few months I have heard the quasi "meta-physical" rationales: that one fraudulent vote is worse than 10 suppressed legitimate votes; that voting should be harder as a test of commitment; that politics is a grown-up and nasty game. Etc..
The last rationale, and its brethren, obviously speak to the implicit nihilism hidden not to far under the surface of a modern GOP not at all separate from the southern strategy of Goldwater and Nixon, not substantially distant from the John Birch Society, not bothered much by the extravagant and stark contradiction of mashing of Jesus and John Gault.
On election day, GOP operative polling place observers have been lightly trained, and next will be let loose Tuesday in African-American polling places throughout Cuyahoga County to accomplish one single goal: slow down voting so that voters are forced to wait with the objective being that the voters eventually abandon the long lines and so decline to vote.
Reprehensible. Not surprisingly in the least, neither Romney or Ryan have issued a single word against these efforts. Meanwhile, here in Cleveland, it turns out the Einhorn family in Milwaukee was responsible for billboard warnings placed in African-American neighborhoods in own city, Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati. Once outed, the Einhorn spokesperson offered a rationale that was spectacular in its dishonesty: the billboards were put up as "a public service." If you can't figure out why this is completely dishonest, I feel very sorry for you.
(Nancy Einhorn is on the Board of The Milwaukee Ballet. My guess is not for very much longer unless it turns out being a racist is an importnat qualification.)
Billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch have been dominant financiers for conservative front groups and nonprofits for nearly three decades. Their money has flowed to organizations dedicated to lobbying for corporate and upper income tax cuts, as well as to groups responsible for mobilizing Tea Party rallies against President Obama. But the Koch family's association with fringe right-wing groups began a generation earlier with Fred Koch, the patriarch of the clan.
Fred not only founded the company now known as Koch Industries, he also was afounding member of the John Birch Society. As a founding board member, Fred helped engineer a hysterical wave of attacks on labor, intellectuals, public education, liberal clergy members, and other pillars of society he viewed as a threat. Birchers decriedeveryone from former President Eisenhower to water utility administrators as pawns in a global communist conspiracy. In the last two years, as the Koch name has becomesynonymous with right-wing plutocracy in the United States, the Koch family has played down its relation to the Birchers.
However, the New American, the official mouthpiece of the John Birch Society, published a piece this morning celebrating Fred and the Koch family's pivotal role in developing the group:
Koch warned that American institutions were honeycombed with communist subversives, from labor unions and tax-free foundations to universities and churches. Art and newsprint, radio and television — all these media had been transmuted into vehicles of communist propaganda. [...] Fred Koch was no fly-by-night pamphleteer. He spent a generous portion of his later years using his wealth and influence to fight the communism he abhorred. He was an early member of the The John Birch Society's National Council, an advisory group to JBS founder Robert Welch. Koch supported a variety of freedom-related causes, all the while continuing to build the company today known as Koch Industries.
The Bircher ode to Koch glosses over Fred's record of bigotry. In a booklet he authored, Fred railed against civil rights leaders, and claimed the movement against racial segregation was a communist plot to use African Americans to destabilize the country. The Koch-funded Birchers held numerous rallies during the '60s claiming integration would lead to a "mongrelization" of the races. (Thinkprogress)
(August 17, 2012)
The most remarkable aspect, to me, of the GOP's ongoing efforts to subvert democracy by targeting the African-American vote are the wide variety of rationalizations employed by advocates of voter suppression. Each and every such rationalization ends up rooted to an unpatriotic hope: that a legitimate voter's vote of a specific kind not ever be registered.
The Pennsylvania legislator Mike Turzai expressed this hope in certain terms and a thousand headlines were the result June 25th.
Yet, just this week on NPR he was asked about voter ID and he said something to the effect of:
"It's not worth one illegitimate vote to drop efforts to protect the vote."
The useless NPR questioner did not press the question begged by his ridiculous, self-righteous answer. Obviously, the GOP's concern is about losing elections, and not about the integrity of the vote.
This connects up with racism in a straight-forward way. Husted and Priesse understand the African-American vote is to be suppressed because of their overwhelming propensity to vote for their own race.
Obviously, elderly white GOP voters get caught up in this pernicious effort to undermine our political system, so it is clearly the case that a calculation about reward versus risk underlies the increasingly widespread efforts to make it harder for legitimate voters to cast their ballots.
Meanwhile, the cause of vote suppression has engendered systematic arguments on behalf of election integrity. This presentation from Virginia Voters Alliance is typical. Note its Tea Party inflections at the same time you note that none of its inculpatory 'facts' are actually documented. This group's presentation boldly proclaims George Soros is pulling the strings!
All the tidy rationales are usually easily discombobulated, with a little scratching, to reveal suppression proponent's true racist intent. The easiest way to get at this is to ask proponents about what would happen if every last eligible voter were to vote. (Unlikely voters favor Obama by 2-1.) In this regard, the rough and tumble rationale "Politics is a mean business and the ends justify the means." is at least honest.
Perhaps the most famous recent example of racially-based vote suppression in the United States took place during the presidential election of 2000. The State of Florida ordered implementation of a purge list to remove voters from the rolls. The purge disenfranchised thousands of eligible voters – primarily African Americans. These citizens were prevented from casting ballots through their largely erroneous – and humiliating – classification as convicted felons.

NAACP and Florida Voters Reach Agreement with ChoicePoint® in Voting Rights Lawsuit
ChoicePoint to Make Donation to NAACP and Reprocess Voter Exception ListWASHINGTON, D.C. / ALPHARETTA, Ga. – July 2, 2002 – Civil rights plaintiffs have reached an agreement with ChoicePoint (NYSE: CPS) over work performed by Database Technologies (DBT) for the State of Florida in the 2000 elections. The NAACP and Florida voters filed a federal lawsuit – NAACP v. Harris – challenging the conduct of state and local officials in the 2000 Florida elections, including DBT, because of the company's work as a contractor hired by the state.
As part of the settlement, ChoicePoint will donate $75,000 to the NAACP, which will be used to fund past and future efforts to further the electoral opportunities of Florida's minority voters. Under the agreement, the company also will re-process the 1999 and 2000 "exceptions lists" of Florida voters who may have been ineligible to vote because of possible felony criminal convictions or because of possibly being registered to vote in more than one county. The reprocessing will be conducted pursuant to terms proposed by the plaintiffs and subject to court approval.DBT was under contract with the State of Florida from late 1998 through 2000 to create a list of registered voters who may have been deceased, registered in more than one county, or convicted felons under the Florida voting fraud statute. ChoicePoint acquired DBT in May, 2000, after the initial 2000 voter exception list was delivered to Florida officials for verification.

Michael Tomasky: How the GOP Plans to Block the Black Vote.
It's a sick and sickening situation, and it delegitimizes everything else about the Republican Party. I can understand how someone believes in limited government or low taxes. I can understand how someone could oppose affirmative action. I cannot understand how any individual can be anything other than abjectly ashamed to be associated with a political party so thuggish as to try to rig elections like this and then at its conventions have the gall to invoke Abraham Lincoln and hire lots of black people to sing and dance and smile, to make up for their absence among the attendees. A black mark indeed.

Dear Editor,
On Jan. 10 the B.C. government certified Innergex/Creek Power Inc.'s Upper Lillooet River diversion project against the wishes of many SLRD residents who seek to protect Pemberton's stunning backcountry and the wildlife that live there. The fact that this project was certified highlights how defective B.C.'s environmental assessment process is. Some of its most glaring problems are: the legislation governing the process, Liberal government policies, the information submitted by proponents, which informs the assessment, and the lack of meaningful public consultation.
Environmental assessments are governed by the Environmental Assessment Act (1994), which has been watered down by amendments and the policies of successive Liberal governments. The act's initial objective was to "promote sustainability by protecting the environment." The Liberals deleted this objective in 2002 and further weakened the act by requiring that the environmental assessment process be consistent with government policy. Remember Premier Christy Clark's government actively promotes the export of liquid natural gas "as a cornerstone of British Columbia's long-term economic success" (and tinkered with the Clean Energy Act to define natural gas as clean green energy).
Another flaw in the environmental assessment process is that the latter mostly relies on information regarding the project's potential environmental, social and economic impacts that is gathered by expert consultants paid for by proponents. This raises questions about the independence of the information, or at the very least what information the proponents chooses to share with the Environment Assessment Office (EAO), which oversees environmental assessments, and by extension the public. Government experts are tasked with reviewing and commenting on the information submitted by proponents, but the former are overwhelmed by the vast amount of information submitted by the hundreds of proponents thanks to the gold rush mentality in B.C. and government cutbacks.
In the case of the Innergex/Creek Power Inc.'s Upper Lillooet River project, government experts stated, for example, that the project's impacts on grizzly bears could not be "meaningfully mitigated." The EAO largely dismissed the impacts as being merely "adverse residual effects" that were not "significant," as they can be "mitigated" and/or "compensated." It is shameful that the government does not even listen to its own experts, but rather negotiates with the proponent regarding so-called "mitigation measures." Innergex has a history of not complying with flow management regulations in its SLRD river diversion projects, resulting in fish kill and damage to fish habitat, so these environmentally devastating incidents are likely to occur in the Upper Lillooet River.
The Environmental Assessment Act provides for public and First Nation consultation, but the EAO and Innergex/Creek Power Inc. dismissed the comments of local residents and other BCers who oppose the project. Public consultation is meaningless given that the process is all about certifying the proponent's project. The EAO has rejected very few projects and most of the ones that the EAO has not certified are because the proponent has withdrawn from the process.
In a press statement issued on Oct. 30, 2012, Terry Lake, the Minister of Environment, stated that B.C.'s environmental assessment process is approaching his goal as being one "that is held up as a model around the world." Local residents in Pemberton, other B.C. voters and B.C.'s Auditor General see the process very differently. I will vote for a party that actively protects the environment, including by placing a moratorium on all river diversion projects and by strengthening B.C.'s environmental protection laws and policies. The selling off of public land and resources to private corporations for private profit with no regard for the environment or wildlife has to stop. Idle No More, fellow BCers: about 1,000 rivers have been staked by independent power producers, so we need to increase our efforts to protect our wild rivers and backcountry.

By: Chris Ramirez, KOB Eyewitness News 4
This 4 On Your Side investigation looks into the actions of police officers and doctors in Southern New Mexico.
A review of medical records, police reports and a federal lawsuit show deputies with the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office, police officers with the City of Deming and medical professionals at the Gila Regional Medical Center made some questionable decisions.
The incident began January 2, 2013 after David Eckert finished shopping at the Wal-Mart in Deming. According to a federal lawsuit, Eckert didn't make a complete stop at a stop sign coming out of the parking lot and was immediately stopped by law enforcement.
Eckert's attorney, Shannon Kennedy, said in an interview with KOB that after law enforcement asked him to step out of the vehicle, he appeared to be clenching his buttocks. Law enforcement thought that was probable cause to suspect that Eckert was hiding narcotics in his anal cavity. While officers detained Eckert, they secured a search warrant from a judge that allowed for an anal cavity search.
The lawsuit claims that Deming Police tried taking Eckert to an emergency room in Deming, but a doctor there refused to perform the anal cavity search citing it was "unethical."
But physicians at the Gila Regional Medical Center in Silver City agreed to perform the procedure and a few hours later, Eckert was admitted.
What Happened
While there, Eckert was subjected to repeated and humiliating forced medical procedures. A review of Eckert's medical records, which he released to KOB, and details in the lawsuit show the following happened:
1. Eckert's abdominal area was x-rayed; no narcotics were found.
2. Doctors then performed an exam of Eckert's anus with their fingers; no narcotics were found.
3. Doctors performed a second exam of Eckert's anus with their fingers; no narcotics were found.
4. Doctors penetrated Eckert's anus to insert an enema. Eckert was forced to defecate in front of doctors and police officers. Eckert watched as doctors searched his stool. No narcotics were found.
5. Doctors penetrated Eckert's anus to insert an enema a second time. Eckert was forced to defecate in front of doctors and police officers. Eckert watched as doctors searched his stool. No narcotics were found.
6. Doctors penetrated Eckert's anus to insert an enema a third time. Eckert was forced to defecate in front of doctors and police officers. Eckert watched as doctors searched his stool. No narcotics were found.
7. Doctors then x-rayed Eckert again; no narcotics were found.
8. Doctors prepared Eckert for surgery, sedated him, and then performed a colonoscopy where a scope with a camera was inserted into Eckert's anus, rectum, colon, and large intestines. No narcotics were found.
Throughout this ordeal, Eckert protested and never gave doctors at the Gila Regional Medical Center consent to perform any of these medical procedures.
"If the officers in Hidalgo County and the City of Deming are seeking warrants for anal cavity searches based on how they're standing and the warrant allows doctors at the Gila Hospital of Horrors to go in and do enemas and colonoscopies without consent, then anyone can be seized and that's why the public needs to know about this," Kennedy said.
Search Warrant Concerns
There are major concerns about the way the search warrant was carried out. Kennedy argues that the search warrant was overly broad and lacked probable cause. But beyond that, the warrant was only valid in Luna County, where Deming is located. The Gila Regional Medical Center is in Grant County. That means all of the medical procedures were performed illegally and the doctors who performed the procedures did so with no legal basis and no consent from the patient.
In addition, even if the search warrant was executed in the correct New Mexico county, the warrant expired at 10 p.m. Medical records show the prepping for the colonoscopy started at 1 a.m. the following day, three hours after the warrant expired.
"This is like something out of a science fiction film, anal probing by government officials and public employees," Kennedy said.
No Comment
KOB reached out to the attorneys representing the defendants in the lawsuit and all declined to comment on the situation. The attorneys said it's their personal policy not comment on pending litigation.
4 On Your Side Investigative Reporter Chris Ramirez cornered Deming Police Chief Brandon Gigante.
"As the police chief what reassurances could you give people when they come through your town that they won't be violated or abused by your police officers?" Ramirez asked Chief Gigante.
"We follow the law in every aspect and we follow policies and protocols that we have in place," Chief Gigante replied.
"Do you think those officers in this particular case did that?" Ramirez asked.
Gigante didn't answer, instead he referred Ramirez to his attorney.
The Lawsuit
David Eckert is suing The City of Deming and Deming Police Officers Bobby Orosco, Robert Chavez and Officer Hernandez.
Eckert is also suing Hidalgo County Hidalgo County Deputies David Arredondo, Robert Rodriguez and Patrick Green.
Eckert is also suing Deputy District Attorney Daniel Dougherty and the Gila Regional Medical Center including Robert Wilcox, M.D and Okay Odocha, M.D.

Open Access – Public Peer-Review & Interactive Public Discussion – Personalized Copyright under a Creative Commons License
Indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science) , Scopus and ADS . Included in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) as well as in the Bodleian Library (UK) , Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek (D) and Library of Congress (USA) . Long-term e-archived in Portico and CLOCKSS .
Earth System Dynamics (ESD) is an international scientific journal dedicated to the publication and public discussion of studies that take an interdisciplinary perspective of the functioning of the whole Earth system and global change. The overall behavior of the Earth system is strongly shaped by the interactions among its various component systems, such as the atmosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, oceans, pedosphere, lithosphere, and the inner Earth, but also by life and human activity. ESD solicits contributions that investigate these various interactions and the underlying mechanisms, ways how these can be conceptualized, modelled, and quantified, predictions of the overall system behavior to global changes, and the impacts for its habitability, humanity, and future Earth system management by human decision making.
The scope of the journal is focused on investigations in four subject areas:
Earth System Dynamics accepts research articles, review articles, short communications and commentaries after an innovative open access peer-review process. The peer-review process takes place in two-stages involving the scientific discussion forum Earth System Dynamics Discussions (ESDD). This form of peer-review has been designed in order to:
In the first stage, papers that pass a rapid access peer-review by the editorial board are immediately published on the ESDD website. They are then subject to Interactive Public Discussion, during which the referees' comments (anonymous or attributed), additional short comments by other members of the scientific community (attributed) and the authors' replies are also published in ESDD.
In the second stage, the peer-review process is completed and, if accepted, the final revised papers are published in ESD.
To ensure publication precedence for authors, and to provide a lasting record of scientific discussion, ESDD and ESD are both ISSN-registered, permanently archived and fully citable.
Earth System Dynamics also offers an efficient new way of publishing special issues on the outcomes of workshops, conference sessions or research projects. Individual papers are peer-reviewed and published as normal contributed papers in regular issues but then labeled as part of the special issue and linked electronically.
Earth System Dynamics (ESD) and Earth System Dynamics Discussions (ESDD) are published by the Copernicus GmbH (Copernicus Publications) on behalf of the European Geosciences Union (EGU).

If you are looking for a really modern quiet place to grab a few drinks with friend then this is the place to meet. However the food was bland, I ordered the fish and the crust was burnt and wasn't seasoned at all. My date had the James Chicken special which he said was not good and to drown it in ketchup.

Wasn't totally crazy over it, but it's the best so far in the neighborhood

I wasn't blown away but the food was good and it was a nice quiet place to come and have brunch with a friend.
Posted by anonymous on 10/04/2011
I live in the neighborhood and have been here a number of times. The food is really good, definitely the tastiest on the 181st and 187th street blocks (though don't go in expecting it to equal per se or anything like that). There's also pretty good value on the menu with the chili, chicken, and nightly special options. The eggs benedict at brunch are also really good, and the happy hour goes until 8, so there is time to go after work. Not sure if I would come up to 181st street specifically for this place, but if you live in the area, it's definitely worth a look.

Whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks this is a great place to meet friends/family in the neighborhood. I ilke the bar snacks, as well as the Tuna dinner plate. The chicken sandwich on the brunch menu rocks as well.

I am amazed at some of the other reviews here, but to each his own. In my opinion, 181 Cabrini is the best restaurant, best coffee house and best bar in the so called Hudson Heights part of the neighborhood. The staff is always friendly and the food always fresh and tasty. The coffee far surpasses the bitter swill at Starbucks and the bar is a pleasant scene to itself. And no, I do not work there or have any affiliation other than being someone who is happy to have this place in the neighborhood. This is one of the few places around that could compete for business downtown and does not leave me feeling as if I'm a captive consumer being taken for granted. The ingredients used are always fresh and high quality and the dishes range from good to very good. For the quality of the food the prices are very fair. The really great thing about 181 is that you can go any time of day, as it morphs to serve multiple different needs of the neighborhood. Coffee and pastry from Balthazar Bakery in the morning, fresh sandwiches for lunch, a wide ranging dinner menu, and then a bar scene at night. Really, what more can you ask for?

I am appauled by the comments about the restaurants in washington heights. I have lived here all of my life and have experienced amazing meals in great restaurants here. Kismat? 107? Ta cocina? Malecon? Former places like jesses place and hispaniola all displayed much better product than 181 cabrini. If you haven't found better places to eat, you just aren't looking hard enough and need to broaden your horizons in this great neighborhood!

Our last day of our most recent trip, this past May, started at AK. We had dinner reservations for the 4 of us at MK later that day. So we get to the gates at MK and insert our tickets. It kept spitting them back. The CM manning the entrance looked and said we couldn't use the tickets till the next day. That's right, we didn't have park hoppper tickets. We didn't even think of it. We were stuck. We still had one day left on our tickets but were leaving the next morning. So we went to the Guest Services window. My wife explained our stupid mistake to Jennifer. She said we could upgrade for X amount of dollars. It was too much. We kind of just looked at each other in disbelief. Just when we were about to throw in the towel and go back to our resort, Jennifer offered us complimentary tickets. We could not thank her enough. Real Disney spirit.

We were discussing a lot of things the other night about the way the analyses look like. So far, it seems that some people are liking the truncated paragraph idea; however, others have suggested that we try doing more with the Project "while we're at it". This isn't really a big deal, in my opinion, but in here I am going to present what we thought of the other night and hear some thoughts from it in here. 1) Merging EV and Other Option section From Ashley: 2) Moving "Opinion" to the top and renaming the section "Overview" Obi hindsighted this idea to us, and this also felt like a good thing to change. One thing that is for certain: the Opinion section explains the Pokemon briefly on its capabilities and / or strengths. It is, however, near the very bottom of the analysis which can lead a person to be mislead if they read the SET COMMENTS of another set and think "hey Farfetch'd doesn't sound that bad. The person who wrote this had some decent comments with it", for example. I think this is also a good idea and is not very difficult to implement either. There is likely more to come within the future, but for now this is the information that we agreed on at the moment. Everyone has a right to sound off on their opinions on it, but these seem easy to adjust and can even be done while Project: Concise is going underway.
Fully agreeing with both, with the length of analysis fitting an explanation of EVs into the SCs is pretty easy and renders the EVs section redundant. Opinion is a misleading term for it's section, Overview is much better.
As I stated on irc, I can't really see a reason why this change shouldn't be implemented. The EVs section generalizes a lot of what is already mentioned in the set comments, and moving "overview" to the top will help new battlers understand how a Pokemon is used without having to read through the entire analysis to get to this section.
I brought it up here first so that the staff at least understands. It will be moved to C&C after I get the "approval".
We should just keep it the way it is. The EV section might be a bit redundant but its a nice location for players to look at what EVs to run or what "other option" EVs to run if you feel like outpacing a certain Pokemon or 2HKOing a certain Pokemon, etc. I know I wouldn't waste my team looking in the set comments, I would go straight to the EV section.
The EV section is just a good place to find a "general" EV spread for the Pokemon. Aside from that, it's basically repeating the exact same information that you can find in the SET COMMENTS of the set you're looking at. You can even mention in the SET COMMENTS what EV spreads work instead of scrolling all the way down and looking for it. The EV section isn't the most detailed of places anyway, so I don't really see the point of it. Supporting this.
I would prefer to collaborate both the "Other Options" and "EVs" sections into an "Optional Changes"-esque section. I would like to keep a secluded place where we can still talk about any other EV spreads, because there are definitely cases where a Pokemon can run many, many EV spreads for a single set (Blissey, for example), and it gets annoying repeating it over and over for every Set Comments part. I think we need to keep a place to talk about this and other issues concerning natures and what not. (I think this section would be better for talking about things like Adamant vs. Jolly Dugtrio.) I like the idea of point 2, but I would warn that it definitely should not become an essay like most things in C&C seem to be becoming nowadays. I think the mentioned section, if changed, should stay short to actually give a short overview and not an essay. I know you weren't aiming or hoping for this anyway, but it is something we should almost certainly keep an eye on due to the oddly long length of analyses now.
Myself, I don't see why we use different sections (Team Options, EVs etc). If you look at most of the analyses leaving C&C of late you see most of this merged into the set comments anyway. A lot of the stuff in these sections is pointless repetition and clutter to be honest, in the case of EVs/alternative spreads I believe you could list them in set comments also. If anything, I belive the "Other Options" should be merged with set comments as it is the only thing that isn't really listed for each set. This could be useful in a way, listing support options on support sets and offensive options for attacking sets will make it easier to identify what these options are used for. If you think this makes it unreadable or too long etc each set of "set comments" could have smaller subtitles to label these sections or something. Some of this is probably a bit irrelevant (and probably a bit of a drastic change) but I would like to share my opinion on the whole structure of analyses. As for the opinion section, I believe this should be the only section as an overall "sum up" of a Pokemon's abilites after all set comments have been shown.
I support killing off the EVs section; I've never viewed it as useful when the EVs are discussed in the set comments anyways. It'll involve a lot of long, boring grunt work to remove it and making sure no information is lost in the process, but it's not like we have a shortage of cheap labor now.
I'm fine with both, but twashley's idea of merging the two optional sections seems attractive as well.
I agree with the second proposal, but I actually think EVs should remain a separate section, whether as [EVs] or Ashley's [Optional Changes]. I look at that section when I'm trying to make an EV spread for a modified set and I want to know some speed tiers for that Pokemon or how many Attack EVs it needs to get important KOs (etc). Yeah, all the information is available in the rest of the analysis, but a separate section combines all of it in a centralized location which means means I don't have to press "more" on 5+ sets and try to find where each mentions EVs. Since lots of Pokemon have varied EVs for different sets, this is an easy way to compare the differences and find what EVs are best for the set I want to use.
That could also work for proposal one IMO since EV section feels like "Other Options" but instead of moves it's spreads. EDIT: I'm going to adopt Ashley's idea. I like that actually.
Ashley's Optional Changes would (hopefully) include the speed tiers and any other optional EV numbers that would net certain KOs or certain survival rates from opposing Pokemon attacks. The main EV sets don't need to have a whole EV section to them; it doesn't take long to skim through an analysis and find the relevant info needed for EV allocation. If the modified set would have the same EVs as one of the other sets, chances are it would perform quite similar to that set (and in which case reading that analysis would be beneficial to the read). I'm in support of these Optional Changes. I'm also in support of the #2 proposal (analyses need an introduction).
One of the benefits of having one section for optional changes, rather than one for EVs and one for moves, is that if all the EVs have already been explained, you aren't compelled to rewrite all of that in the EVs section. This is just a way to re-organize, it's not removing or adding new information. I also see no reason for this to be in this forum. C&C seems like the better place for it.
Sorry, I just wanted to make sure that I didn't have issues with the admins and co. Alright, I'd like to hear EVERYONE'S opinion on this now.
Agree with both Optional Changes section and Opinion to the top. It seems a good idea to not have a section solely on EVs as not much usually goes here, it's usually just repetition of what's been said in each set, and for the second one an overview certainly seems like a good idea so people have a general idea about the Pokemon before they start reading the analysis because at the moment there is a chance that some people may not read the whole analysis and get down to the Opinion part due to the length of many analyses.
I don't write analysises Marcus, but I do look at the site sets and to me this looks like a great idea. I'm supporting this.
I agree with 1 (put Other Options and EVs together near the bottom), but on opinions... I'd have to see how'd it'd be done. Would we just keep the old opinions sections? If we do, keep it where they are at the moment. If not and they become shorter, I'm all in for putting them on top, as it could help to find out what that Pokemon's standard role in a team would be.
About the Overveiws. If these replace the opinions, I think they may need to be revamped due to being used as "introductions". In fact, the overviews idea sounds much like this old suggestion from Tangerine and aldaron. I'm not sure if thats the guideline we should follow, but I don't think just moving the opinion's to the top will be a good idea without revamping them.
After talking to a few people on #C&C, I think we need a bit more clarity on the EV/OC merge. The way I see it OC should now include all alternate spreads (bar ones which are significant enough to be mentioned in SC or AC), and not have any explanation of why listed spreads are chosen. This explanation of why the standard spreads are chosen should be in AC or possibly SC in certain analyses. I'm also not too keen on these changes being listed in this thread as "UPDATE: NEW STUFF FOR FUN!" and "This isn't really a big deal, in my opinion, but in here I am going to present what we thought of the other night and hear some thoughts from it in here.", if the format has changed then new analyses should all follow it without exception. The EV/OC merge in particular is really quite simple with this format, it should only take a few minutes and nothing extra needs to be written (unless the original was missing information or otherwise flawed of course).
Glad to know we're appreciated... On topic: I agree with both ideas. Moving the opinion to the topic is especially important, as it helps new users differentiate between seemingly similar Pokemon.

[JURIST] Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert [official website; BBC profile] denied rumors Monday that a deal was underway to trade Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Cpl. Gilad Shalit [Wikipedia backgrounder], an Israeli soldier held by Palestinian militants since June 25 [JURIST report]. In a speech to parliament's foreign affairs and defense committee, Olmert said he heard of the negotiations from the press. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak [official profile; BBC profile] has said that negotiations were ongoing [JURIST report], but that no progress had been made. AP has more.In related news, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan [official profile; JURIST news archive] announced Monday that Hezbollah and Israel have agreed to closed-door UN-led mediation to secure the release of the two captured Israeli soldiers whose July kidnapping sparked the latest round of violence in the region [JURIST news archive]. While Olmert's office has yet to comment, Israeli political sources deny the agreement had been reached [Reuters report]. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador [campaign website, in Spanish; Wikipedia profile], Mexico's leftist presidential candidate challenging the results of the disputed July 2nd presidential election [JURIST news archive], has told supporters that he plans to organize a constitutional convention to draft a new constitution. Lopez Obrador said Sunday that the country was in need of "radical transformation" and that he would call an assembly to draft a replacement for the current constitution [text], which was written in 1917.Preliminary results show that Lopez Obrador lost the election [JURIST report] by about 240,000 votes, or less than 0.6 percent. An official winner has not yet been declared; Mexico's Federal Electoral Tribunal [official website, in Spanish] has until September 6 to make an official announcement and the court's decision is expected Tuesday [AP report]. It is widely believed that Lopez Obrador's opponent Felipe Calderon [campaign website, in Spanish; Wikipedia profile] will be declared the official winner, and Lopez Obrador has said that he will refuse to recognize Calderon's victory, instead declaring himself the alternative president. AP has more.
[JURIST] The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs [official website] has warned senior government and military officials that inflammatory statements some made about the recent conflict with Lebanon, such as advocating the bombing of villages that housed Hezbollah rebels, could lead to war crimes prosecutions abroad, the Israeli Army Radio reported Monday. Several Israeli Defense Forces [official website] generals have recently opted not to take trips to Europe because they fear being arrested on war crimes charges. Israeli officials have said that government officials should enjoy immunity from prosecution but there is concern that military leaders, especially retired officials, could be subject to prosecution. Israel has been widely criticized for its actions during the month-long conflict [JURIST news archive] with Hezbollah guerrillas [BBC backgrounder]. More than 850 Lebanese, mostly civilians, were killed during the conflict. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour [official profile] warned both Israel and Hezbollah in July that those responsible for violence against civilians could be liable for war crimes [JURIST report]. Last month, Amnesty International [advocacy website] accused Israel of deliberately inflicting unnecessary damage [JURIST report] on civilian infrastructure. A few days earlier, the US State Department began investigating [JURIST report] whether Israel used cluster munitions in Lebanon in violation of several US-Israeli agreements. Haaretz has more.
[JURIST] Eight men allegedly involved in a plot to blow up US-bound planes [JURIST report] leaving a London airport will probably not go to trial until 2008, prosecutor Colin Gibbs told the Central Criminal Court [official website] during a brief hearing in London Monday. It is unclear why they will not be brought to trial sooner. All eight defendants are charged with conspiracy to murder under the Criminal Law Act 1977 and planning to smuggle "component parts of improvised explosive devices" onto airplanes under the Terrorism Act 2006 [text]. None of the eight applied for bail during Monday's hearing. AP has more. BBC News has additional coverage.Meanwhile, UK police [official website] are holding an additional 14 suspected terrorists arrested Friday and Saturday without charge. Police were given more time Sunday to question those suspects, who police believe are running terrorist training camps across Britain but are not linked to last month's foiled terror plot. In the past two weeks, officials have charged 15 [JURIST report] in relation to the airline plot; five have been released and five are being held without charge. Police have one more week to question [JURIST report] those five. Under the 2006 anti-terror law, police are allowed to hold suspects for up to 28 days before they must be charged or released. AP has more.
[JURIST] US military officials in Iraq said Monday that, despite press reports to the contrary, three soldiers killed earlier this summer near Mahmudiya were not involved [press release] in the rape and murder of a 14-year-old girl [JURIST news archive] and the murder of her family in that area. The military has charged [JURIST report] five US soldiers from the 502nd Infantry Regiment in connection with the rape and murders, but there is no evidence suggesting the involvement of Specialist David Babineau and Privates First Class Thomas Tucker and Kristian Menchaca, who were abducted and killed in June after an attack on their isolated outpost.A group linked to al Qaeda released a video in July that showed two of the dead soldiers' bodies and said the troops were killed to avenge the deaths of the family killed in Mahmudiya. The rape and murders there have outraged Iraqi leaders [JURIST report], prompting an independent investigation [JURIST report] by Iraqis into the crimes allegedly committed by US troops. US military officials are still deciding whether the five charged will face court-martial [JURIST report]. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] The number of terrorism-related prosecutions has sharply declined in the years following the Sept. 11 attacks [JURIST news archive] and less than half of those convicted on terror charges received prison sentences, according to a study [text] released Sunday by Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse [official website]. The study, based on US Justice Department [official website] data, found that only 14 of the 1,329 convicted defendants received prison sentences of more than 20 years.Critics of the Bush administration are using the study as a measurement of its success or lack thereof in the war on terror. Some say there has been a decline in terrorism prosecutions because agencies are less likely than they were directly following September 11 to prosecute secondary infractions. Others have suggested that unlawful interrogation tactics overseas have compromised prosecutions in the US. This is not the first time the administration has had to defend its progress [JURIST report] in convicting terrorists. The study revealed 14 prosecutions in 2000, 57 in 2001, 355 in 2002, 46 in 2005 and 19 in the first eight months of fiscal year 2006. AP has more.
