The Case of the Mysterious Sargent Painting
Often the "name" paintings go to the bigger auction houses like Christies and Sothebys but this lovely lady is being auctioned off at Gallery 63 in Atlanta on September 23. And she comes with a bit of mystery.The painting is an original oil-on-canvas portrait of Jenny Jerome (Lady Randolph Churchill), by John Singer Sargent. The problem is that no record of the finished portrait exists, making provenance hard to establish. Studies of Lady Churchill are known but not an oil painting. In the press release, Paul Brown of Gallery 63 says that "with the right research, this painting could be worth millions." The person who buys the painting will be responsible for establishing the true history of the painting which is signed John S. Sargent but is undated. The painting has been in the possession of the current owner since 1970, when he purchased it from the Estate of Leroy Ireland, a well known art collector associated with the American artist, George Inness.
The sale also includes the American furniture collection of the curator of the Michael Carlos Museum at Emory University in Atlanta, a 1932 Chevrolet Super Confederate Roadster, a Civil War reunion medal commemorating the West Virginia Militia members, Civil War documents, bronze fountains and a massive Baccarat chandelier.

There are two things that make a search engine successful: quantity of traffic and the quantity of advertisers competing for the top spots and pushing up CPC's. Currently, there is a great deal of industry speculation, which claims that, if Microsoft and Yahoo's deal goes ahead, it could create a true competitor to Google in the search and advertising market. But is this really the case?
Yes, their traffic will be added together, but will they see higher CPCs through attracting more advertisers?

A good landing page is one that reinforces 'conversion intent' by providing enough information to persuade customers to convert, but most importantly it has to be relevant to the paid ad that the user has just clicked on.
When shoppers enter a very specific phrase, such as a make and model number of a product, it suggests a clear intention to purchase, and so the landing page has to send the searcher straight to the product page and make it easy to complete the purchase.

There are many elements of an effective paid search campaign. While much of the discussion often centers on bidding, there is an equally important component: quality score.
Quality score was introduced by search engines looking to receive maximum yield from advertising. By understanding the search engines' approach, search marketers can take steps to improve their ROI, independent of their bidding strategy.

According to a recent post from Heather Hopkins at Hitwise, the share of search traffic coming from paid listings is decreasing at the expense of organic traffic.
The stats highlight a 26% decline in the share of paid clicks, but is paid search really falling? Let's take a closer look...

Think senior citizens aren't using the Web to research and buy products? Tim Pelton did. Tim is a sales manager for Bedco Mobility, a company that sells and services products such as wheelchair stair lifts in the Baltimore/Washington DC corridor. For close to 100 years, Bedco advertised in local newspapers and yellow pages.
But calls and leads were dropping precipitously.
Bedco has a website, but never attempted online marketing because the thinking at the company was that senior citizens just plain weren't online. Wrong. The 70-75 year old age bracket is one of the fastest-growing segments of the online population, according to the Pew Center for the Internet and American Life. In 2005, 25 percent of them used the Internet. Last year, 45 percent went online. Older surfers use the Web primarily for searches for things such as health information, e-mail, and buying products.

Google recently announced it would allow limited use of trademarks in the text of some search ads in the US, even if the trademark owner objects.
While previously brand owners could specify which retailers or affiliates were able to reference their trademarked brand name, any advertiser who sells a brand on its website can nowuse that brand name in the text of their Google ads.
Google's Trademark policy change in the US is likely to impact a wide range of advertisers, brand owners, competitors, and affiliates. However, it is the brand owners who should be particularly vigilant of the new ramifications.

There are a number of common pit traps that American companies risk falling into as they start to push their search marketing campaigns out into Europe.
by Andrew Girdwood 18 March 2009 12:30pm 3 comments
According to popular reports, 25-30% of the clicks search engines generate are produced by paid results. That's a number that seems reasonable on the surface given that paid search is a multi-billion dollar a year business.
But a study titled 'Investigating customer click through behaviour with integrated sponsored and nonsponsored results' in the International Journal of Internet Marketing and Advertising throws this figure into question, and also produces some food for thought when it comes to other common beliefs about paid search ads.

The UK's most prominent paid search marketers have been up in arms this weekend after VCCP Search claimed to be the first agency to assign IP to clients.
MarketingWeek ran a story last week that started off as follows: "VCCP Search is offering its clients the opportunity to retain their intellectual property rights. The agency previously kept the rights of any search keywords it purchased on behalf of the client, but in an effort to retain clients, it is now letting them retain those rights. VCCP Search says it is the first agency to offer such a service."

Facing perhaps the toughest retail environment in decades, multi-channel retailers in the United States turned to paid search in the run up to the holiday shopping season in an effort to boost sales.
SearchIgnite, a search management provider, today reported that US multi-channel retailers increased their spending on paid search by 12% in Q4 2008 as compared to Q4 2007.

Shishkova & Naumov
Kovarikova & Novotny
Eltsova & Bushkov
Woetzel & Steuer
Kazakova & Dmitriev
Berezhnaya & Sikharulidze
Petrova & Tikhonov
Sale & Pelletier
Shen & Zhao
Totmianina & Marinin
Pang & Tong
Savchenko & Szolkowy
The ironic thing is if Shishkova & Naumov had made it then Kazahkova & Dmitriev are the ones who would have missed out on the Olympics, and they are the ones who ended up as the OGM that year. I heard that S&N had a clean free skate at Nationals that year too but unfortunately so did Eltsova & Bushkov and Kazahkova & Dmitriev (B&S had a mistake but placed 2nd). E&B had the best Worlds results of any Russian pair that quad, and B&S were the dominant pair that season so those two were pretty much a lock. A better program might have helped S&N but they lost an Olympic spot with all the injuries and off performances before the Russian Nationals mostly, more than what they did a the event itself.
Hopefully Sale & Pelletier get voted out next round.
Kazakova & Dmitriev are first skater/team to go through a whole round without a single vote
I can almost predict the final result in each of these survivor threads. In pairs it will come down to S&Z vs. S&S (although neither is on my list for 'best').
In men, it's a given that Yagudin will win.
In ladies it will come down to Michelle and Yu na.
In ice dance it will come down to V&M vs. D&W.
I think the ladies is hard to call at this point. You could be right but I wouldnt count Slutskaya or Asada out yet. Slutskaya has won all the rounds so far.
Of the pairs on the list, which are missing most of the all the all time greats anyway, I would rate S&Z and S&S in the top 4. B&S are way better than both, and T&M are better than S&S atleast IMO (although I know that isnt a popular opinion, I have no idea why though, S&S couldnt even challenge an old S&Z who were able to cakewalk to a season of dominance as grannies in their return which shows to me how S&S would have fared in past eras).
S&S are very popular on this board. It could be because they are flashier than T&M. I would put B&S and T&M higher than either S&S or S&Z (another very popular pair on this board), but I suspect both T&M and B&S will be eliminated before the other two. I wish we had G&G and M&D on this list, although I think some of the newer posters never saw them compete at their peak, so they may not even hold them high in their esteem. At some point we may need a survivor thread for the oldies. I miss the old pairs skating, including B&S's.
S&S try to be innovative. I give them that. They also have very big throws, inventive lifts. They dont have the consistency, technical precision, or quality of spins, death spirals, or solid jumping technique of past champions though, and their triple twist isnt very good either. Artistically they are original but too many mistakes to be of full effect 97% of the time, and they dont have the polish, perfection, or chemistry of the past greatest pairs either. Compared to T&M I can see why they are more enjoyable to watch to many people, but they really arent as good, and if both teams competed in their primes T&M would dominate. Look at how much trouble S&S often have even beating P&T, who T&M could always beat in their sleep, and how S&S found it impossible to compete with an old S&Z, kind of embarassing for the so called dominant pair of the era. It just shows how they stack up to some real competition.
I could never watch T&M do a lift without wincing. His footwork was never great to start with, and only got worse after the accident.
Even when Tikhonov was about to keel over from a heart attack past the three minute mark, he still had more stable feet than Marinin. Everything else they did was so pure and precise that it made there lifts all the more jarring. (The triple twist too)
Ease and flow of lifts is a big thing for me in pairs skating. It's part of the reason why I think S&N and E&B are a bit underrated.
When does this first round of voting end anyway?
I must agree with this. As someone who was on the front row at Pittsburgh Skate America and watched that crash happen right in front of me, I was not surprised. My friends and I even commented to each other that something was up during warm-up. Something was eerie, one of them might have been sick or had vertigo or ANYTHING, but when they took the ice I at least was prepared for a disaster. Their horrendous crash was not a surprise. I could never get into their skating, they had great basics, but no. Don't make me afraid for your safety and your lives. And that went with the Zhangs too. And there was another Chinese pair that scared me too. Not S/Z or P/T, another one where their attempted skills were scary dangerous.
I will not be ignored! -Me
True T&M had pretty bad lifts. I cant argue that. I just feel the overall package was still superior to someone like S/S. As lifts are the pinnacle of pairs skating in a way though, I can more readily see people ranking T&M downwards for that reason more easily than the usual "they are boring, etc..." stuff.
Yeah, at least lifts are a valid technical criticism and it's not all "oh, she never smiled!"
I think S&S are getting to the point that they are as good/better than T&M. The only advantage I see for T&M at this point is the sbs 3sal. But those conversations should be for later cause those two teams deserve to make it far here (I guess S&S, K&D, B&S, T&M and S&Z top 5).
Atleast S&S have gotten more consistent. It was boring seeing them dominate in 2008-2009 with flawed programs and falls repeatedly over practically a nothing field with a technical only team clearly past their technical peak in the Zhangs and an erratic and slumping Pang & Tong as their only "competition". I think the emergence of V&T has made them pull up their socks.
I don't think it's accurate to say that the S&S in 2006 and in 2010 are the same. S&S have improved dramatically since 2006, to the point where a clean S&S should place ahead of a clean T&M IMO. They have more difficult/larger throws and twists, more innovative choreography, and strong quality in their other elements as well.
Of course, S&S don't often skate two clean programs, so that's where the issue comes in.
I agree that T&M are underrated. The quality and consistency they possess is outstanding, though artistically I wouldn't call any of their LPs 'great programs'.
I was never comparing T&M and S&S of 2006 to each other. I am well aware the real S&S is 2008-today. I was comparing the fact S&Z could waltz back after being retired a few years, very very old for amateur skaters, and easily dominate S&S. Yet S&Z even fully healthy in the 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 seasons in fact had a losing record to T&M. S&Z could not make a mistake and still beat T&M after the SLC season, but against S&S they could make alot of them. Also looking at teams like Pang & Tong who S&S often lose to and who T&M never once lost to ever. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to put 2 and 2 together and see what would happen with both teams in their primes. As you said who would win with both teams going clean is moot, since T&M always skate clean, and S&S cant to save their lives, although they have finally gotten a bit better with that.
By 2006 S/S had only been together for 2 seasons; T/M were together for 9, hardly comparable in terms of skating. S/Z were given too much credit in the Olympic season as far as scores go but Ingo made the biggest mistake of changing their free skate four months before the Olympics.
Also, I think no enough credit is given to skaters who are pushing or are in their 30's, there is no magical number where pair skaters suddenly are geriatrics.
S&Z could make a lot of mistakes against S&S? When? At the Olympics, they had a small point difference after the SP, and appropriately so. In the LP, S&Z skated clean with the exception of a botched lift, while S&S messed up multiple elements. Not to mention, that was a very poor season for S&S. If S&S skated like they did in past Worlds, it would be a hard comparison.
As for Sale & Pelletier, I can easily see why people consider them the worst Olympic pairs gold medalists in recent history, but one of the worst World champions? That's a stretch. I agree they shouldn't have won 2001, they were overmarked in both portions of the competition. At SLC, I thought either they or B&S could've won and it would make sense. Sort of like Kwan vs. Chen in 96 or Kwan vs. Lipinski in 98. There are other pairs who should go before them.
Maybe people are voting for them because they think they did not deserve to be champions at 2001 Worlds or 2002 Olympics and therefore shouldn't be on the list at all. I agree with you, they're not that bad, and I'm really surprised they have more votes than Pang/Tong or Pettikhs! Again, maybe people think S&P should've been strong silver medallists against B&S, while perhaps believing the P&Ts deserved their titles albeit in weaker fields. To me though, comparing them directly, S&P are definitely stronger than those teams and Woetzel/Steuer and shouldn't be getting voted out quite yet.
I'm far from an S&P fan, and I can't stand Jamie, but they had strong pairs elements and memorable programs. David was one of the strongest male pairs skaters in that generation. I would vote them off before some of the better Russians because of Jamie's inconsistency and ugly lines, but they should stick around a few more rounds.

I've never cleaned this pen since I've had it. It's worked with no problems except when I fill it with ink, the converter doesn't seal with the base of the nib and feed so ink is everywhere inside the whole pen. It's practically an eyedropper pen where the entire body is filled with ink.
I soaked it for a few minutes in warm soapy water then rinsed it out. I love this pen but the converter doesn't make any sense. Oh well, that's part of the fun of fountain pens. Inky fingers.
Too bad I don't have another ink color to fill it with now that it's all cleaned out. Maybe next month.

[JURIST] Alleged Mumbai terror attack [BBC backgrounder; JURIST news archive] suspect Mohammed Ajmal Kasab pleaded not guilty Wednesday in an Indian court to 86 charges stemming from his participation in the November 2008 attack. Kasab, a Pakistani citizen, was formally charged [BBC report] at a special court in Mumbai in front of Judge M.L. Tahiliyani, where he denied any involvement in the attacks. Indian authorities have accused Kasab of attacking commuters at the Mumbai central train station during the attack. The charges against Kasab [Times of India report] include "waging war against India," which is punishable by death, "causing terror," destabilization of the government, murder, kidnapping, robbery, and the smuggling of illegal weapons and explosives. Two Indian defendants linked to the Islamic extremist group Lashkar-e-Taiba [GlobalSecurity backgrounder] also pleaded not guilty [AFP report] to conspiracy charges related to the charges against Kasab.Last month, Tahiliyani removed a defense lawyer [JURIST report] from Kasab's case, citing a conflict of interest. Kasab first appeared [JURIST report] before Tahiliyani via video in March. In February, Pakistan officials conceded [JURIST report] that the attacks were partially planned in their country. Pakistan also stated that the perpetrators traveled by ship [NYT report] from southern Pakistan to Mumbai, where they launched the attack from inflatable boats using outboard engines purchased in Karachi, Pakistan. One scholar suggested that an international tribunal be formed [JURIST op-ed] to prosecute persons involved in Mumbai attacks in order to avoid further complications to the already unstable relationship between Pakistan and India. The attacks in Mumbai, which claimed at least 170 lives, were carried out at ten locations across the city including the landmark Taj Mahal Palace hotel.
[JURIST] Iranian authorities issued stays of execution [AFP report] Wednesday for two teens sentenced to death for crimes committed as juveniles. The two individuals facing the death penalty, Amir Khaleqi and Safar Angooti, were scheduled to be executed Wednesday morning after being convicted of murder committed while the were under the age of 18. Amnesty International (AI) [advocacy website] called on Iran to halt the executions [AI press release] Tuesday. According to reports [Guardian report], Khaleqi was convicted of killing a man while drunk at the age of 16, while Angooti was convicted of killing a rival suitor at the age of 17. The lawyer for the two condemned inmates, Mohammad Mostafai, told AFP that he believes the executions will be stayed for a month.Wednesday's stays of execution come as various rights groups criticized Iran [JURIST report] for the Friday execution of a 23-year-old woman, Delara Darabi, convicted of murder while a juvenile. Darabi was the second person this year to be executed for a crime allegedly committed while she was a minor. As there were seven such executions last year, and as there are reportedly approximately 130 juvenile convicts currently on death row [HRW reports] in Iran, the country has received a great deal of criticism [JURIST report] for failing to adhere to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child [text], to which Iran is a party. Last October, Iran banned the execution of minors for drug related crimes [JURIST report]. In both September [JURIST report] of last year and in June of 2007, HRW called for Iran to stop using the death penalty for juveniles [JURIST report; HRW press release] convicted of serious crimes.
[JURIST] Maine Governor John Baldacci [official website] on Wednesday signed into law [press release] a bill [materials] that will allow same-sex marriages [JURIST news archive] to be performed in the state, making Maine the fifth state to allow same-sex marriage. On Tuesday, the Maine House of Representatives [official website] voted 89-57 in favor of the legislation, which followed last week's approval by the Maine Senate [JURIST reports]. The legislation got final approval by the legislature Wednesday before going before the governor. Baldacci said:
In the past, I opposed gay marriage while supporting the idea of civil unions. I have come to believe that this is a question of fairness and of equal protection under the law, and that a civil union is not equal to civil marriage. Article I in the Maine Constitution states that "no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor be denied the equal protection of the laws, nor be denied the enjoyment of that persons civil rights or be discriminated against." This new law does not force any religion to recognize a marriage that falls outside of its beliefs. It does not require the church to perform any ceremony with which it disagrees. Instead, it reaffirms the separation of Church and State. It guarantees that Maine citizens will be treated equally under Maines civil marriage laws, and that is the responsibility of government.
[JURIST] A Spanish judge has said that he will ask the US if it plans to prosecute six US officials for allegedly contributing to torture at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST report] before deciding whether to open an investigation in Spain. Judge Eloy Velasco of Spain's Audiencia Nacional on Monday requested [text, TIFF, in Spanish] information from the US about potential charges against six former government lawyers, including David Addington, John Yoo, and former attorney general Alberto Gonzales, for their role in creating the legal definition of torture adopted by the administration of former US president George W. Bush. Velasco is considering whether to admit a complaint [text, PDF, in Spanish] under Spain's universal jurisdiction [AI backgrounder] statute, which gives Spain jurisdiction over foreign torture, terrorism, and war crimes only if the case is not subject to the legal system of the country involved. Velasco said that the nationality and location of the suspects and the ability to gather more complete evidence make the US a better venue [El Pais report, in Spanish] for the prosecution, but suggested that he would be willing to exercise universal jurisdiction if the US did not investigate the claims. Velasco took over [JURIST report] the case from Judge Baltasar Garzon [BBC profile; JURST news archive], who opened a separate investigation [JURIST report] in April related to detainee abuse at Guantanamo Bay. Also in April, Spanish Attorney General Candido Conde Pumpido [official profile, in Spanish], responding to a request [JURIST report] from Garzon, said that he would not recommend trying any of the named defendants. In February, Spain announced that it is considering legislation to limit [JURIST report] the the scope of universal jurisdiction to those cases that have a substantial link to the country or its citizens.
[JURIST] A court in Zimbabwe [JURIST news archive] on Wednesday released on bail 15 human rights activists, including activist and journalist Jestina Mukoko [advocacy website, JURIST news archive], who had been ordered back into custody [JURIST report] Tuesday. Mukoko is the director of the Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP) [advocacy website]. The indicted activists were accused of planning a coup against President Robert Mugabe [JURIST news archive], but were released on bail [JURIST report] in March after three months of detention by presidential authorization. However, the court in Harare found Tuesday that under the Zimbabwe Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act [text PDF], the grant of bail is automatically reversed and the activists must remain in custody until their trial in June. The activists were released [AFP report] Wednesday after the judge reversed her Tuesday ruling on the orders of Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai [official website]. Three other activists ordered into custody Tuesday were denied bail [AP report].The indictment highlights the tension between Mugabe and Tsvangirai as well as the human rights situation in Zimbabwe. Mukoko was held without charges from December through March and was allegedly subjected to torture. Mukoko was hospitalized [Zimbabwe Times report] for the treatment of injuries sustained during her detention and remained under medical care after her release from police custody. While in prison, it was reported that Mukoko was forced to ingest poison [JURIST report], an allegation that has sparked a world-wide protest against Zimbabwean police methods. During her detention, Mukoko was denied bail [JURIST report] by Zimbabwean lower courts, but another court ruled that Mukoko could appeal her detention [JURIST report] to the Supreme Court of Zimbabwe under the Zimbabwe Constitution [text, PDF].
[JURIST] A German court on Wednesday rejected an emergency suit filed by accused Nazi prison guard John Demjanjuk [NNDB profile; JURIST news archive] seeking to block his deportation from the US. Demjanjuk faces deportation to Germany, where in March a Munich district court charged [JURIST report] him with 29,000 counts of accessory to murder for his alleged involvement at the Sobibor [Death Camps backgrounder] concentration camp. The Berlin court ruled [AP report] Wednesday that the decision whether to stay deportation is one for US courts. Also Wednesday, lawyers for Demjanjuk filed an appeal [stay application, PDF] with the US Supreme Court [official website], seeking to overturn last week's decision by the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit [official website] to deny a stay of deportation [order, PDF]. The Sixth Circuit ruled [JURIST report] that there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate that deporting him to Germany at age 89 would constitute torture.Demjanjuk has fought a lengthy legal battle over his alleged involvement with Nazi death camps during World War II. In 2008, the US Supreme Court denied certiorari in Demjanjuk v. Mukasey [order, PDF; JURIST report], ending the appeals process for his deportation order. Demjanjuk was appealing a 2005 ruling [JURIST report] by then-US Chief Immigration Judge Michael Creppy which ordered his deportation. Demjanjuk had previously lost his appeal to the BIA. Additionally, the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit denied Demjanjuk's petition for review [text, PDF] in January 2008. In 1988, Demjanjuk was convicted and sentenced to death by an Israeli court which found that he was a notorious guard from Treblinka nicknamed "Ivan the Terrible." The sentence was vacated by the Israeli Supreme Court in 1993, and Demjanjuk returned to the US.
[JURIST] US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates [official profile] said Wednesday that the US is considering sending Yemeni Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive] detainees to Saudi Arabia for rehabilitation as part of the efforts to close the prison facility. Gates told reporters [Reuters report] in Saudi Arabia that while no official decisions have been made, he has been impressed with the country's rehabilitation program. Gates spoke after meeting with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal. Many of the 241 inmates still at Guantanamo are Yemeni nationals who were captured after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The US is reluctant to return the detainees to Yemen for fear that they would rejoin terrorist groups.In January, a spokesperson for the US Department of Defense (DOD) [official website] said that the US would not change its policy [JURIST report] on the transfer of Guantanamo Bay detainees to Saudi Arabia, despite reports that two former prisoners have joined al Qaeda in Yemen. A US counterterrorism official had confirmed that two of the nine alumni of the Saudi rehabilitation program who were arrested [NYT report] were in fact former Guantanamo prisoners, but this revelation was unlikely to affect the new policy of transferring detainees to Saudi Arabia for rehabilitation. The Saudi program, an effort to deprogram Islamic extremism, was designed with input from psychiatrists, sociologists, and Muslim clerics. The Saudi Minister of Interior [official website] reports that 218 men have completed the program, with only nine being arrested again.
[JURIST] A Greek court ruled Tuesday that same-sex marriages [JURIST news archive] performed in the country are invalid. Two same-sex couples were married last year [Reuters report] by a local mayor on a small Aegean island, as the 1982 Greek civil marriage law [text, PDF, in Greek; backgrounder] simply saying that marriages must be between two "persons" without specifying that one party must be a man and the other a woman. A local prosecutor had petitioned the court in Rhodes to have the marriages declared void, and the court granted the prosecutor's request, finding that Greek law does not explicitly permit [Kathimerini report] same-sex marriage. The lawyer for the couples said they plan to appeal within the Greek judicial system and then to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) [official website], if necessary.After the couples were married last June, the Greek Minister of Justice quickly condemned the marriages as legally "non-existent" [JURIST report]. The ceremonies united the couples despite preliminary warnings from top Greek prosecutor Giorgos Sanidas that such marriages are not permissible under Article 21 of the Greek Constitution [text] and that charges would be brought if the mayor allowed the wedding. Earlier last year, the Ministry of Justice established a group [JURIST report] to investigate recognizing same-sex marriages after the Greek National Commission for Human Rights [official website, in Greek] proposed legislation to allow same-sex marriage, but no further action has been taken in Greece on the national level. The influential Greek Orthodox Church [official website, in Greek] is strongly opposed to same-sex marriage.
[JURIST] The Appeals Chamber for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) [official website] on Tuesday increased the sentence [judgment, PDF; judgment summary, PDF] of Veselin Sljivancanin [BBC profile; ICTY materials] from five to 17 years. Sljivancanin was convicted of aiding and abetting the killings of over 200 Croatian prisoners of war near Vukovar [BBC backgrounder; ICTY backgrounder, PDF] in 1991. Prosecutors appealed the sentences [JURIST report] imposed on Mile Mrksic and Sljivancanin as grossly inadequate for the crimes committed. Both Mrksic and Sljivancanin appealed the convictions, alleging that the evidence was insufficient to support the decisions against them. The ruling also upheld the sentence of Mrksic [BBC report].Then-chief prosecutor Carla Del Ponte [official profile] had expressed immediate disapproval of the verdicts for being too lenient. Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader [official website] also criticized [JURIST report] the ICTY for the judgments and addressed [press release] the UN General Assembly to call for justice for the Vukovar massacre. In addition, Croatian President Stipe Mesic, known to be a supporter of the ICTY, said that his own confidence in the ICTY has been eroded. In December 2006, the Serbian Supreme Court ordered a retrial in the case of 14 former members of Serb militias who were originally convicted [JURIST reports] of war crimes for their roles in the Vukovar massacre. The Serbian judicial proceedings, which opened in March 2004 [JURIST report], have been seen as a test of Serbia's domestic war crimes process.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Michael Chertoff
Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division
STATEMENT OF SECRETARY MICHAEL CHERTOFF Mr. Chairman, Senator Leahy, and members of the Committee: thank you for the opportunity to address you today, and for your ongoing support of the Department of Homeland Security's efforts to keep America secure. I am honored and pleased to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee for the first time in my current capacity to discuss the vital issues of border security, interior enforcement and immigration reform as a whole. Illegal immigration is a severe and growing problem. As members of this Committee know, over the last few months this Administration has been consulting with members of Congress on comprehensive immigration reform. We have been grateful for your input in these productive sessions. And I am thankful for your support and input as we move forward. Citizens are rightly disturbed by illegal immigration. The President has heard these concerns. And I have heard them too, from all across the country and from right here on Capitol Hill. I am committed to taking aggressive and innovative steps to solve the problem. We are moving to end the old "catch and release" style of border enforcement, increasing removals by tens of thousands a year. We have expanded Expedited Removal along the entire southwest border. We are hiring and training hundreds of new border patrol agents. We are deploying new technologies, from advanced telecommunications to unmanned aerial vehicles. And we are finding new ways to work with state and local law enforcement to deal with illegal immigration and the ills that it brings. Illegal immigration hurts everyone. It flouts the rule of law, and it allows criminal elements to enter our country. It undercuts those who patiently pursue legal immigration proceedings. It places heavy economic strains on towns, overwhelming their ability to cope with the tide of humanity. And it threatens the lives of the migrants themselves. The human smugglers and traffickers -- known as "coyotes" -- who bring them to the country all too often rob them, abuse them and leave them for dead. In addition to this human cost, these smugglers also traffic in guns and narcotics, a threat to the stability of both the United States and Northern Mexico. Finally, if we can not control our borders, we leave the way open for terrorists hoping to do us harm.
The President understands that ending illegal immigration means both tough enforcement and action to reduce the demand that draws illegal migrants into the country. That's why his Administration believes we need a three-pillar, comprehensive approach to reforming our immigration system: (1) gain control of the border; (2) build a robust interior enforcement program; and (3) establish a Temporary Worker Program (TWP). The effectiveness of our border security and interior enforcement initiatives is closely tied to creating a workable and enforceable TWP. While Secretary Chao will speak in more detail, the TWP seeks to address two huge strains on the current immigration system: high U.S. employer demand for workers and active participation of an estimated eight million undocumented workers in the U.S. economy. A well-designed TWP will provide legal channels for U.S. employers and foreign born workers to meet the needs of a vibrant and successful U.S. economy without disadvantaging American workers. The President believes we need a well-designed TWP, coupled with a tough enforcement regime, to gain control of our borders. We must aggressively enforce our immigration laws. And enforcement will not wait for enactment of the TWP. We already are making a substantial down payment on the enforcement measures that the President's program will require. Indeed, since President Bush took office in 2001, the United States government has deported several million illegal aliens, including approximately 300,000 criminal aliens. Since 9/11, yearly spending on border security has increased by $2.7 billion, or 58 percent. Yearly spending on immigration enforcement has also increased dramatically. Enforcement expenditures by DHS and Justice have gone up by $1 billion, or 35 percent. U.S. Customs and Border Protection currently has over 11,000 Border Patrol agents along the 6,000 miles of our northern and southern borders, which is an increase of 1,649 Border Patrol Agents since 2001., In addition, and an additional 18,000 CBP officers are posted at our Ports of Entry (POEs), an increase of 4,533 officers added at ports of entry since 2001. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, has over 8,000 agents and officers working to apprehend criminals, absconders, and other aliens illegally present within the United States. These DHS agents and officers apprehend illegal aliens in a variety of ways. For example, CBP Border Patrol agents apprehend aliens attempting to enter the U.S. between the POEs, while CBP and ICE officers at our POEs stop illegal entry by aliens who possess stolen or fraudulent documents. In addition, CBP apprehends or detects aliens who attempt entry with terrorist or criminal intent while ICE officers and agents work with federal, state, and local correctional facilities to identify and remove aliens with criminal records. And I would be remiss if I did not mention the critical role that the U.S. Coast Guard plays in securing our land and sea borders. In FY 2005 alone, CBP Border Patrol agents made over 1.1 million apprehensions. CBP Field Operations officers stopped more than 600,000 aliens attempting to enter at our POEs; our officers referred them for further law enforcement action such as detention or prosecution for those with criminal records. In the same period, ICE apprehended approximately 140,000 illegal aliens in interior enforcement operations with an additional 15,000 aliens apprehended under its Fugitive Operations Program. Under the President's leadership, ICE developed the Fugitive Operations Program and its first teams were deployed in 2004. CBP also voluntarily returned over 940,000 Mexicans and refused entry to an additional 425,000 aliens at POEs. ICE also executed removal orders for over 130,000 aliens who have been placed in proceedings, including 77,000 with criminal records. These are solid numbers demonstrating a solid commitment to law enforcement. Today, the President is signing the DHS Appropriations Bill into law. Thanks to this Congress, DHS now has $940 million in new resources for DHS law enforcement agencies to further strengthen border security and enforcement. This includes more than $890 million alone for CBP and ICE, our primary border enforcement agencies. These increased resources will support a full range of critical border security needs, including 1,000 Border Patrol agents on top of the 500 new agents added last year. The bill also permits further expansion of detention capacity by as many as 1,920 additional beds, provides 250 additional ICE investigative agents, and adds 8 new fugitive operations teams to track down individuals ordered to leave this country, but who instead absconded. ? With funds appropriated by the Congress earlier this year, we have begun to hire, 1,500 new border patrol agents for deployment along the entire border. This brings the total Border Patrol agent increase to 3,070 agents since President Bush took office in 2001. We have already begun to graduate these new agents. In addition, there are currently 400 border patrol agents at the academy in Artesia, New Mexico, whom I will have the honor of addressing this Thursday. We are grateful to the Congress for providing us the additional funds to hire these agents. ? We recently obtained a Predator B unmanned aerial vehicle. This innovative technology enhances our ability to secure the southwest border. In addition we continue to partner with the Department of Defense to take advantage of training opportunities. For the next month, as part of such training, the Defense Department is providing four UAVs in the El Paso sector. ? We have deployed additional Border Patrol agents and support personnel to the Tucson Sector as part of the Arizona Border Control Initiative, a partnership that combines the best efforts and resources of our DHS law enforcement agencies with other federal government agencies and with State, Local, and Tribal law enforcement. ? We are providing additional Immigration Enforcement Agents devoted to criminal removal programs and additional fugitive operations teams to track down absconders. ? We have targeted violent criminal street gangs nationwide for immigration enforcement, particularly the Mara Salvatrucha organization, one of the most violent and rapidly growing street gangs. Recently, ICE arrested 359 MS-13 members including 10 clique leaders. The phenomenal success of this effort since its launch in March 2005 led to its expansion to include all criminal street gangs, a targeted effort to keep our communities safer. Our most pressing enforcement responsibility is on the southwest border, the pathway for two-thirds of the illegal aliens currently in our country. (The other third are mostly visitors who enter legally and then overstay their visas.) While visiting the southwest border, I have seen first-hand the efforts of our border enforcement staff. They have done much; but, as we all realize, much still remains to be done. Our apprehension work draws upon three interdependent tools: technology, infrastructure and people. Deploying all three assets in proper harmony is the key to our border enforcement work. In the weeks ahead, I will be speaking much more about a systematic program of technology acquisition, infrastructure improvements, and workforce efficiencies that will animate our work at the border. Congress has generously provided for additional technology investment. I have created a new DHS program office and hired a talented leader for that office. With our DHS team, we will define clear performance mandates for how best to make these investments. Our work ahead is not just about buying more gizmos - it is about using all the considerable tools in our border security toolkit in a more disciplined, systematic, and effective manner. This is not rocket science, but it does involve properly applying both high-tech tools such as detection sensors and low-tech, proven tools such as vehicle barriers. What is needed in rural areas will be different from the asset mix needed for border security in urban areas. I have directed that a comprehensive, border-wide plan be established for these investments. The public is impatient for these improvements and I share that impatience. I am convinced that we can soon make dramatic improvements in the use of technology, infrastructure, and our rapidly growing enforcement team. We will set clear, measurable goals and report routinely to Congress and the American public about our performance. While much of the public attention regarding border security has focused on apprehending those crossing the border, catching illegal entrants is just the first step. Obviously, the security of America and the integrity of our nation's legal immigration system require that the number of removals at least equal the number of apprehensions. Otherwise, apprehensions lead to release and disappearance. Regrettably, today apprehensions exceed removals. But other parts of the system have nearly collapsed under the weight of numbers. The problem is especially severe for non-Mexicans apprehended at the southwest border. In FY 2005 alone, the Border Patrol apprehended over 160,000 non-Mexican nationals. Only 30,000 of these illegal entrants were removed from the United States. The rest will be released, either under bond conditions or on their own recognizance Let me reiterate this point. When a non-Mexican is caught trying to enter the U.S. across the southwest border today, he has an 80% chance of being released immediately because we have nowhere to hold him. Of course, he will be charged as an immigration law violator, but he will likely fail to appear at his immigration hearings. In attacking this problem, we have also learned valuable lessons from recent successful operations. When a large number of Brazilians began illegally crossing the southwest border, we responded in July 2005 with "Operation Texas Hold 'Em." We prioritized the existing space, dedicated bed space and began detaining and removing all of the illegal Brazilians we apprehended. The word spread surprisingly swiftly; within its first thirty days, the operation had already begun to deter illegal border crossings by Brazilians. In fact, the number of Brazilians apprehended dropped by 50%. After 60 days, the rate of Brazilian illegal immigration through this sector was down 90%, and it is still significantly depressed all across the border. In short, we learned that a concentrated effort of removal can actually discourage illegal entries by non-Mexicans on the southwest border. Building on that experience, we asked how we could achieve the same results with all non-Mexican entrants. We undertook a comprehensive review, identified choke points in the existing removal process, and devised ways to eliminate them. The essence of our plan is to expand removals by better using our detention and removal assets. For example, our system will be three times as efficient if, instead of removing one person after a three-month detention, we can remove three people after detentions of just one month each. So our comprehensive plan calls for both more beds and faster turnover. To improve turnover, we are expanding removal authority, pressing foreign governments to take back their nationals more promptly, streamlining review by their consular officers--we have been experimenting with secure video links to facilitate this -- modifying our staffing requirements for escorts on international flights, modifying our air transport contracts, and streamlining the paperwork involved in removal flights. Additional steps are also being examined. Our experience with Brazilian entrants tells us that an aggressive removal program will deter illegal immigration attempts, multiplying the effect from increased beds and more rapid turnover of those beds. Today I am announcing this goal for DHS: eliminate completely the "catch and release" enforcement problem. Return every single illegal entrant -- no exceptions. What's more, it should be possible to achieve significant progress in less than a year, as we apply concentrated removal efforts with the support of individual countries. I am pleased to report that DHS has already begun implementing many significant changes in transitioning from "catch and release" to "catch and return." Here are some of those changes: ? We have substantially expanded our detention capacity as of October 1. With the President's signing of our appropriations bill, we will have $90 million in new resources to add hundreds of more beds. Even with no additional efficiencies in the process, this one change will allow us to remove thousands of additional illegal aliens apprehended along our borders. We are ? I have directed the expanded use of Expedited Removal to all Border Patrol sectors along the southwest border. This allows us to remove quickly eligible aliens, reducing the time required in detention prior to removal. Over all, we expect to cut removal times in half, reducing days in detention from an average of 90 days to an average of 45 days. ? We have contracted for expanded air transportation services to move illegal migrants back to their home more quickly and efficiently. ? We are modifying our policies on when removed aliens require escorts. By adopting a risk-based policy, our officers and agents can send more illegal migrants home faster and more efficiently while maintaining the safety of all involved in the removal process. ? Working with the Secretary of State, we are in the process of streamlining country clearances, an internal U.S. government processing change that could cut several days from every escorted deportation. Because an overstuffed removal pipeline is our most immediate problem, cutting even a few days from the average deportation will allow us to increase removals by thousands a year. ? Also working with the State Department, we have begun aggressive dialogues with foreign governments to ensure better foreign-country compliance with our repatriation requirements. We often find that people who are removable sit in our detention facilities--simply because the foreign country has failed to give us a "travel document" agreeing to take its citizen back. We must make this a top priority in our bilateral relationships around the world, and working with Secretary Rice, I am sure that we will. ? We are moving to implement internal "best practices" so that all of our offices throughout the country operate using best-practices information. We want our removal process to be dynamic and efficient over the long run. The comprehensive approach we have taken to removal can be applied more broadly to other aspects of border and interior enforcement. In that sense, what we are doing in our removal efforts is simply a down payment on our overall border enforcement initiative, which we are designing as a complement to the President's Temporary Worker Program. There is a vitally important component to comprehensive immigration reform that I have not yet discussed: worksite enforcement. We can all agree that the current state of worksite enforcement does not work well enough. In anticipation of the Temporary Worker Program (TWP), we must strengthen our efforts to monitor worksites to ensure that both now, and with the start of the TWP, we deploy the necessary resources to ensure those employers who violate the current laws face appropriate punishment. We already have more aggressive efforts underway, including the ICE Worksite Enforcement Units. In addition, we must also give employers the necessary tools to verify the legal status of their employees. The current verification system is insufficient to detect fraud, particularly document fraud, and we must resolve this. Interior enforcement is not worksite enforcement alone, however. It also includes a focus on criminal aliens, aliens considered a national security risk, traffic stop responses as well as criminal investigation and apprehension of aliens with final orders who have absconded. Importantly, it includes working with individual state and local governments to coordinate responses. I have heard and recognize the frustration that some state and local law officials have expressed about illegal immigration and their desire for closer relations with immigration enforcement agencies. We will find new ways to work with them. This will include new border enforcement task forces and expanded use of our existing legal authorities to train state law enforcement personnel. Working with DHS's state partners is also a key part of our border strategy. We will actively reach out to our state partners for their agreement to improve our cooperation. and these are just some of the ideas by which our partnership with state and local law enforcement can be most effective. In summary, my immediate enforcement priorities at DHS focus on five tasks: ? First, we will undertake transformational investment in technology and infrastructure. ? Second, we will work with Congress to staff effectively these enhanced enforcement efforts. ? Third, we will end the policy of catch and release. ? Fourth, we will implement more robust interior enforcement. ? Fifth, we will coordinate better with our federal, state, local and international partners to improve immigration enforcement overall.
Each facet of comprehensive immigration reform program that Secretary Chao and I discuss here today is carefully considered. Taken together, they offer a comprehensive strategy. We will continue regularly to apprise this Congress of the steps forward, and the expected outcomes. As Secretary of Homeland Security I am committed to working closely with the Administration and with the members of this Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform legislation that reflects the principles discussed with you today. This must be legislation that will meet the needs for a total solution to immigration reform. Nothing I do as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security is more important to the national security of the United States than securing our borders, and I look forward to working with the members of Congress on this critical task. |

Hello and welcome to the forum...
Have you tried pressing and holding volume down, and power for about 20 seconds until the phone ****s off? Try this and see if it helps. It should
If not you will probably need to do a factory data reset, go into system settings, privacy, factory data reset.
Hopefully you won't have to....
Welcome to the forum!
You have been having this problem from day one with your phone? Did you get a brand new one or get one of Craigslist or something of the like?
Have you tried a hard reset? With the phone on, hold the volume down button and power button for 10 seconds and it will reboot. Are you using any after market phone APPS or everything stock? Are you on ICS or Gingerbread OS?
Lol it took a sceen shot i didn know my phone does that but i dont think it need to reset it. To every one else i sond like im in a tunnel i have a yell or hold my phone a sernt way its agrevating bc i get in fights with my dad and boy friend over it-_-

Last edited by Xfactorx316; 07-26-2012 at 11:21 AM.
Thanks guys so far it works big hugs bc u guys r life savers
Glad you got it working, yeah if you press volume down first and then press the power button it should take a screen shot for future reference. If you press them at the same time then yeah you will get a screen shot taken before the reboot. Let us know if you have any more troubles.
Glad we could help way to go syd
Also.. if it happens again, you can do the reboot again... or if you get adventurous you can do a factory data reset.. it should clear up your issue

The stone "steps to nowhere" still found in upscale neighborhoods such as Warm Springs and Harrison Boulevard are remnants of a time when Boiseans got around town by horse-drawn coach.
The steps date to the late 19th century. They were located near the residences of people who were well-off enough to keep their own coaches or to call private coaches to their homes or offices - the forerunner of a car service.
The sandstone hitching posts that still stand in Boise's oldest neighborhoods are even more common than stone steps. They're another echo of the horse-and-buggy age.
According to the city's Boise 150 blog, ownership of these stone remnants is analogous to trees on the county-owned right-of-way strip. They fall into a gray zone. They're kind of yours, but you can't take them with you if you move.
Find hitching posts near 10th and Hays Streets north of Boise High School.
