[JURIST] A body found in a canal in Brussels, Belgium, was identified on Friday as that of an indicted Rwandan ex-minister cooperating with the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) [official website]. Former Rwandan Commerce Minister Juvenal Uwilingiyimana was indicted by ICTR in June 2005 for conspiracy, incitement and murder in connection with its ongoing probe of the 1994 genocide, which resulted in the deaths of more than 800,000 Tutsis and Hutus [BBC report]. Uwilingiyimana expressed his desire to cooperate and was speaking to investigators but disappeared on November 21. Recognizing that "by cooperating with the Prosecutor...individuals mark themselves forever as traitors in some parts of their community and run the risk that vengeance will be taken against them or against their families", the ICTR took "extraordinary measures" to protect him, but his death appears to have confirmed his concerns about his own safety and that of his family. The ICTR's Prosecutor's Office Friday expressed the hope Belgian authorities would be able to apprehend and try those responsible for his death [ICTR press release]. UN News has more.
[JURIST] An Italian judge issued European arrest warrants on Friday for the 22 CIA operatives accused of participating in the kidnapping of an Egyptian cleric in 2003 [JURIST report]. Milan prosecutor Armando Spataro said the warrants allowed for the arrest of those accused in any of the 25 European Union countries. Spataro has also filed a request for extradition of the 22 from the United States. Italian Justice Minister Roberto Castelli [official profile] has yet to forward the request to the US, however, questioning Spataro's motives [JURIST report] and requesting more court documentation. The 22 agents are accused of kidnapping cleric Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr [Wikipedia profile], a suspected member of an Islamic military group, in Milan and then flying him to Egypt to be tortured. An Italian judge ruled in November that the former CIA station chief who is one of the 22 accused relinquished all immunity when he left his post [JURIST report]. US authorities have consistently declined to comment on the alleged kidnapping. AP has more.
[JURIST] Muslim-Americans attending an annual international religious conference [conference website; conference trailer, WMP] in Canada that began Friday and continues through January 4 may be subject to lengthy security checks upon their return to the United States after US District Court Judge William Skretny ruled Thursday that such searches were not unconstitutional. While he acknowledged "there is no information whatsoever to suggest, and the government does not contend, that Plaintiffs are anything other than law-abiding American citizens", Skretny concluded that American border control authorities "had reason to believe that these conferences would serve as meeting points for terrorists to exchange ideas and documents, co-ordinate operations, and raise funds intended for terrorist activities." The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) [advocacy website] had filed suit on behalf of five New York residents who were among dozens of people searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and held for hours before being allowed back into the US after attending last year's convention in Toronto, which drew some 10,000 Muslims from all over the world. Skretny admitted the stops were understandably frustrating, but not illegal. The NYCLU claimed [press release] that searches without suspicion based solely on attendance at the conference treated innocent US citizens as terrorists. Several of the plaintiffs still planned to attend the 2005 conference after the ruling; the NYCLU has made available an online intake form for them and others to fill out if they are stopped again. CBC has local coverage. AP has more.
[JURIST] US Senate Juduciary Committee ranking Democrat Patrick Leahy suggested [press release] Friday that US Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito [JURIST archive] will face additional questions at his January confirmation hearing on unchecked presidential authority and the particular issue of warrantless eavesdropping after the US National Archives earlier Friday released a 1984 Justice Department memo Alito wrote expressing the view that the Attorney General should be immune from suit over illegal wiretaps [PDF text]. The memo was written in connection with a Reagan-era case involving wiretaps ordered by former Attorney General John Mitchell during an investigation into a suspected plot to kidnap National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger. Alito's position could prove to be especially controversial in light of recent disclosures that after September 11 President Bush authorized the National Security Agency to conduct domestic surveillance on American residents, a program the legality of which has been vigorously defended by the administration but disputed by Democrats [JURIST report] and a variety of academic experts [JURIST Forum article]. Bloomberg has more. Other Alito materials released Friday by the National Archives included a 1985 memo in which Alito appeared to endorse the overturning of Roe v. Wade [JURIST report].
[JURIST] In response to a series of deadly bombings in recent months, the government of Bangladesh [official website] plans to introduce a new anti-terrorist law to counter Islamist militants. The attacks, aimed at judges, lawyers, police and journalists, have killed 30 people since August. A bombing at a court complex in December left 25 wounded [JURIST report] while days earlier two judges were killed in another bomb attack [JURIST report]. Police have arrested nearly 800 suspects so far in their investigations, most of them suspected members of the militant group Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen [Wikipedia backgrounder]. The proposed new law, expected to come before the Bangladesh parliament in January, would set a death sentence for those convicted of terrorist acts and would create special tribunals to speed up terror trials. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] Khalil Dulaimi, chief Iraqi lawyer for Saddam Hussein [JURIST news archive], claimed Friday in an interview with the Associated Press that his client had been "severely tortured" by Americans during his detention, bolstering Saddam's own claims [JURIST report] dramatically made in court Wednesday. He said that three medical teams had found evidence of abuse and that he himself had seen bruises on Hussein's body and had filed a complaint with the Iraqi Special Tribunal [official website]. US officials have repeatedly denied allegations that Hussein had been tortured in US custody [White House transcript] and the Iraqi investigating judge who put together the case against Hussein has stated that the former president always answered "No" when asked if he had been abused [JURIST report]. On Friday Dulaimi also claimed violations of the Geneva Convention because Hussein and his defense lawyers were only allowed one 10 minute session together during this week's trial proceedings under the surveillance of cameras and guards. Iraqi chief prosecutor Jaafar al-Mousawi plans to visit Hussein and his co-defendants to listen and review their health and needs. The trial has been adjourned until January 24 [JURIST report]. AP has more.
[JURIST] A court in London ruled Friday that the former Vice-President of crippled Russian oil-giant Yukos [corporate website; JURIST news archive], Aleksander Temerko, currently living in Britain, cannot be extradited to Russia, saying that he would likely not receive a fair trial there. Temerko became Vice-President of Yukos in 2003 after former owner Mikhail Khodorkovsky [MosNews profile; JURIST news archive] was sentenced to eight years in jail on charges of fraud and tax evasion. Prosecutors in Russia have claimed that Temerko took part in defrauding a state oil company. A number of experts who testified during Temerko's hearing concluded that the charges against Yukos are politically motivated; Temerko has publicly stated that the Yukos charges are an attempt by Russian President Vladimir Putin [official website] to silence his political opposition. Russian legal counsel in London are considering appealing the extradition denial. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] A federal judge has granted a temporary injunction against a new California law [text] banning the sale or rental of violent video games to minors sought by the Video Software Dealers Association [trade website] and the Entertainment Software Association [trade website]. In a ruling issued Wednesday, US District Court Judge Ronald Whyte stated the industry groups were likely to succeed in their lawsuit challenging the legislation based on grounds of free speech. The groups filed suit in October [JURIST report] seeking to enjoin enforcement of the law which would subject them to a $1,000 fine per infraction. The judge expressed his concerns about the causal connection between the access to violent video games and psychological or other harm to children. State officials, including California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, say the law will help parents determine which video games are appropriate for their children and that the state has a valid interest in protecting children from harmful exposure to violent video games. A judge in Illinois recently ruled in favor of the video game industry [JURIST report], overturning that state's "safe games" law. AP has more.
[JURIST] Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Derbez [profile] plans to travel to Washington on December 29 to meet with US Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick [official profile] to discuss a proposed 800-mile wall to be built along the US-Mexico border [JURIST report; NYT coverage]. The US House of Representatives passed [JURIST report] a controversial border security bill [text, PDF] earlier this month providing, among other things, for the construction of security fencing, lights and cameras along the Mexican border. The Mexican government has strongly opposed the measure, calling on Latin American countries to oppose the wall [ABC News report] and hiring a public relations firm [AP report] to improve the country's image in the US. Former Foreign Secretary and Finance Minister Jose Angel Gurria said, "I very strongly hope and actually believe [it] is not going to pass and is going to be modified by the Senate and produce something more reasonable and more balanced that takes into account the realities. Walls are not the solution, walls are not the answer. It is not going to work." The US Senate is expected to consider the bill in February. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Adel Yahya, a 23-year old student, appeared in a London court Friday after being charged under the Terrorism Act of 2000 [text] with conspiracy to cause explosions in connection with his alleged role in planning a failed series of attacks [JURIST report] on the London transit system on July 21, 2005, two weeks after the devastating July 7 London bombings [JURIST news archive] killed 56 people - including four suicide bombers - and injured some 700. Five other men, Muktar Said Ibrahim, Ramzi Mohamed, Yassin Omar, Hussein Osman and Manfo Kwaku Asiedu, have already been charged [JURIST report] with conspiracy to murder. Ten more face charges for failing to cooperate with the investigation and assisting suspects in evading arrest. Yahya is believed to have conspired with Ibrahim, Omar, Osman, and Asiedu. BBC News has more.Previously on JURIST's Paper Chase:
[JURIST] A Dutch court Friday sentenced a Dutch businessman to the maximum term of 15 years in prison for complicity in war crimes for selling chemicals used to produce mustard gas to Saddam Hussein's government. Frans van Anraat [BBC profile], who went on trial [JURIST report] in The Hague a month ago, was himself acquitted of genocide charges [JURIST report], but for the first time the court recognized that the killing of thousands of Iraqi Kurds in the 1980s, including 5000 at Halabja [US State Department backgrounder] in 1988, was an act of genocide. The ruling stated, "The court has no other conclusion than that these attacks were committed with the intent to destroy the Kurdish population of Iraq." The verdict is not expected to play a role in the present charges against Saddam Hussein, now on trial for crimes against humanity in Baghdad. Van Anraat, who was arrested in Italy in 1989 [Reuters backgrounder] and later in the Netherlands in 2004 [JURIST report], admitted to supplying the chemicals, but denied knowing what they would be used for. BBC News has more. From Amsterdam, Volkskrant provides local coverage in Dutch.
[JURIST] AP is reporting that new US Department of Justice documents released Friday by the National Archives include a 1985 statement by US Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito [JURIST news archive] that the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion ruling should be overturned. Review the full text of the newly-released documents.10:29 AM ET - The June 3, 1985 Alito memo on Thornburgh v. American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists [1986 US Supreme Court ruling text] cited by AP [report] is merely a corrected version of a May 30 draft memo [JURIST report] by Alito released by the Archives on November 30 which has already drawn fire from Democrats. In both, Alito wrote:
...no one seriously believes that the Court is about to overrule Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973). But the Court's decision to review these cases nevertheless may be a positive sign. Both court of appeals decisions purported to apply Supreme Court precedents in areas that the Court has already (and recently) explored. There are no conflicting court of appeals decisions. If the Supreme Court had agreed with the Third and Seventh Circuit decisions, it most likely would have summarily affirmed. Thus, by taking these cases, the Court may be signalling an inclination to cut back. What can be made of this opportunity to advance the goals of bringing about the eventual overruling of Roe v. Wade and, in the meantime, of mitigating its effects?...We should file a brief as amicus curiae supporting appellants... In the course of the brief, we should make clear that we disagree with Roe v. Wade and would welcome the opportunity to brief the issue of whether, and if so to what extent, that decision should be overruled. Then, without great formal discussion of levels of scrutiny or degrees of state interest, we should demonstrate that many of the provisions struck down by the Third and Seventh Circuits are eminently reasonable and legitimate and would be upheld without a moment's hesitation in other contexts. If the Court can be convinced to sustain these regulations, it may have to adjust its standard of review....I find this approach preferable to a frontal assault on Roe v. Wade. It has most of the advantages of a brief devoted to the overruling of Roe v. Wade: it makes our position clear, does not even tacitly concede Roe's legitimacy, and signals that we regard the question as live and open. At the same time, it is free of many of the disadvantages that would accompany a major effort to overturn Roe. When the Court hands down its decision and Roe is not overruled, the decision will not be portrayed as a stinging rebuke. We also will not forfeit the opportunity to address--and we will not prod the Court into summarily rejecting--the important secondary arguments outlined above.
[JURIST] Uganda [JURIST news archive] announced Thursday it would commence reparation negotiations with the Democratic Republic of Congo [JURIST news archive] in late 2006, following Monday's International Court of Justice ruling [JURIST report; PDF text] that Uganda violated Congo's sovereignty during a 1998-2003 war [BBC backgrounder] and was responsible for human rights abuses and the plundering of Congolese natural resources. A top civil servant in the Ugandan foreign affairs ministry reiterated the country's claim that it acted in self-defense, saying "We reject all those accusations but we shall sort them out in the negotiations. Our troops were there to liberate Congo and defend our sovereignty ... It is going to be a slow and quiet negotiation involving no third parties." Congolese officials have demanded reparations [JURIST report] of between 6 to 10 billion dollars. The ICJ says it will establish the amount of reparations itself if the two nations cannot agree. AP has more.
[JURIST] Former US Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle [official profile; advocacy website] denied in an editorial in the Washington Post Friday that the post-9/11 congressional Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF) provided any basis for warrantless National Security Agency wiretapping within the United States [JURIST report]. He wrote:
As Senate majority leader at the time, I helped negotiate that law with the White House counsel's office over two harried days. I can state categorically that the subject of warrantless wiretaps of American citizens never came up. I did not and never would have supported giving authority to the president for such wiretaps. I am also confident that the 98 senators who voted in favor of authorization of force against al Qaeda did not believe that they were also voting for warrantless domestic surveillance.
[JURIST] The office of the UN Independent Inquiry Committee (IIC) [official website] tasked with investigating the oil-for-food program [official website; JURIST news archive] will remain open an additional three months, until March 31, so prosecutors can assist "duly authorized law enforcement and regulatory agencies in cases they may be pursuing against companies, individuals and entities," the UN announced Thursday. The IIC, led by former US Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker [official profile], will not continue its own investigation and will disband as planned on December 31, but will assist prosecutors around the world with their own investigations. Several countries have commenced their own investigations after the IIC's October 27 report [JURIST report] accused more than 2,200 companies in 66 countries of channeling $1.8 billion to Saddam Hussein's government. South African Judge and IIC Commissioner Richard Goldstone [official profile] said, "Anything that we are able legally and morally to share with a prosecutor or authority of any country, we will be more than willing to do that." Reuters has more. The UN News Center has additional coverage.
[JURIST] A coalition of Sunni and secular Shiite political groups said Thursday that they would boycott sessions of the new Iraqi national assembly elected on December 15 [IECI partial uncertified results] unless an independent review of the poll was conducted by an international body such as the United Nations, the European Union, the Organization of the Islamic Conference or the Arab League. In a joint statement the 35 political entities - including that of former Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi [JURIST news archive] - also demanded the disbanding of the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq [official website] in the wake of more than 1250 complaints alleging fraud [JURIST report], stuffing of ballot boxes, or voter intimidation. A UN spokesman in New York said the UN would not conduct any review of the Iraqi poll. AP has more.
[JURIST] A US District Court judge Thursday dismissed a civil suit accusing Pope Benedict XVI [official profile] of conspiring to conceal clergy sex abuse [JURIST news archive], citing the pontiff's immunity as head of the Vatican state [official website]. Judge Lee Rosenthal, of the US District Court for the Southern District of Texas, ruled in response to a "Suggestion of Immunity" submitted by the Department of Justice [JURIST report], requesting the Pope be granted immunity because of incompatibility with the "United States' foreign policy interests." Lawyers for the plaintiffs argue that Benedict, while serving as prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith [official website; Wikipedia backgrounder], conspired with the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston [diocesan website] to cover up the abuse of three male children in the mid-1990's. A lawyer for the Pope said the ruling was significant because it treated the religious leader as the head of a foreign state. AP has more.
[JURIST] Saddam Hussein [JURIST news archive] and his seven co-defendants previously denied in court that they had been beaten by American guards, Iraqi investigative judge Raed Juhi said Thursday. Hussein alleged earlier this week in trial proceedings that he had been beaten "everywhere on my body" [JURIST report] and that American abuse denials could not be believed [JURIST report]. Juhi, who prepared the case against Hussein, said that Iraqi officials never witnessed any signs of abuse, nor did defendants or their lawyers complain of beatings. Also on Thursday, Hussein's lawyers made another public statement urging the Iraqi government to provide them with protection, citing a specific threat against former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark [JURIST news archive]. The request sought "all those responsible for human rights to urgently intervene to defend international law, human rights and the right of the defendants, their lawyers and witnesses for protection." AP has additional coverage of Hussein's abuse claims and the call for protection.Previously in JURIST's Paper Chase:

I am only looking for the stove and fuel - not a jetboil setup.Answers
Per the manufacturer:Ultralight System Fuel Canister size
Minimalist 110g. / 3.5" diameter
Microdualist 110g. / 3.5" diameter
Ketalist 110g. / 3.5" diameter
Pinnacle Dualist 220g.(recommended) or smaller
Pinnacle Soloist 220g.(recommended) or smaller
Optimus Stella for the Pinnacle backpacker
Primus Micron
Snowpeak Giga
Snowpeak Lite-Max
Optimus Crux
Brunton Flex
Soto OD-1R Microregulator
All stoves listed will nest inside their cook systems with the appropriate size fuel canister. Note the 110g canister must be the popular 3.5" diameter. (Not just the larger 220g diameter in ½ the height.) Example:
MSR IsoPro - 113g. http://cascadedesigns.com/msr/stoves/stove-accessories/msr-isopro/product )
If you do not see an ultralight stove listed (MSR Pocket Rocket) it is because the stove will not fit with the recommended fuel canister. One could take the canister out of the cook set (and carry separately) to fit larger stoves but that remedy is outside the design intention.

VOLLEYBALL WINS BIG OVER SKAGIT, CLIMBS TO SECOND IN NWAACC NORTH The Bulldog attack was as sharp as it has been all season, led by Kasey Blevins' (Fr, Ferris HS) and Marissa Bower (Fr, Anacortes HS), who recorded 17 and 14 kills respectively. Setter Sharon Kelley (Fr, Edmonds-Woodway HS) also had a good night, recording 42 assists and a career high 11 blocks. As well as the offense played, the defense stole the show. Along with Kelley's performance on the block, Bower and Jessica Dubois (So, Tumwater HS) turned in 6 blocks of their own… easily BCC's best performance at the net this season. Libero Amanda Crank (So, Issaquah HS) was a defensive stalwart, with 22 digs, while Nicole Ljutic (So, West Valley HS, Yakima) added 12 of her own. The Bulldogs' schedule doesn't get any easier, as they take to the road for a pair of critical Northern Region road games. On October 19 Bellevue visits Shoreline Community College, the only team in the region to defeat first place Whatcom. Next week, BCC will travel to Everett to play the Trojans of Everett Community College on October 24 at 7:00pm.

Medical Alert Systems
America's Most Trusted Provider
of Medical Alert Systems
Alert1® is a leading provider of medical alert services that enable older adults to live safely and independently in their own homes. The company was founded in 1988 as AlertOne and started as a family-owned business with the goal of providing high quality medical alert services to customers in the Williamsport, Pennsylvania region. Williamsport is a small town which is best known for hosting the Little League World Series. After gaining popularity and trust within the town, Alert1 quickly became one of the largest medical alert providers in the mid-Atlantic states.
Call Now to Speak with Us 1-866-581-4540
Plans Starting at Just $25.95/month
Over the next two decades, AlertOne expanded and grew into a national provider of medical alert services. Early on we decided that unlike some of our competitors, we would focus solely on medical alert systems. This has enabled us to give our customers the best service and care possible. Because of this, over 170,000 families have benefited from our years of experience and dedication.
To support our commitment to earning our customer's satisfaction and trust every day, Alert1 extensively trains and evaluates every employee who has contact with our customers. From our sales reps, to our billing department, to our technical support team, every employee is taught to respect and value each customer. Additionally, nearly every innovation to our medical alert systems was inspired by our customers. We believe in listening to our customers, their compliments, their concerns, and their criticisms. For example, Alert1 was the first company to offer a voice extender so our customers with larger homes could speak to our emergency response operators from even remote rooms in their homes. We were also the first company to develop a wall mount button for those customers that needed help even if they weren't wearing their help buttons.
The Alert1 commitment to high quality service and training is particularly important for our emergency response centers. Alert1 has partnered with a company that has specialized in emergency monitoring for the past 28 years. This partner has two redundant emergency monitoring centers, both located in the United States, that are capable of providing support even if a natural or man-made disaster takes one of their centers offline. These monitoring centers are CSAA Five Diamond Certified, which means they undergo a rigorous certification process each year and commit to quality standards. Additionally, the centers are subject to random inspections by a nationally recognized testing laboratory. All operators are US-based English speakers and have access to a team of translators that can speak 50 other languages in addition to English.
Alert1 has a longstanding reputation of customer satisfaction and every week the list of healthcare professionals recommending Alert1 medical alert services grows. Alert1 may be able to delay the inconvenient and costly transition into an assisted living facility or a nursing home by enabling seniors across the United States to live safely and independently in their own homes. That's why we call our iconic help pendant "Your Peace of Mind button," because it provides our customers and their families with confidence that they can get help quickly in any emergency, even if they live independently.
"I am very pleased with the service. It gives me and my family members greater peace of mind. In a recent accidental call for help your operator was quite understanding about my mistake and immediately contacted local emergency responders to cancel the request." - Jeanette H.

The decision, announced Tuesday, comes two years after a U.S. district court found the Bush administration violated the law on June 25, 2002 when it announced that the orcas are not significant enough to protect.
"This is a close-knit family of highly intelligent whales that have been living cooperatively with each other in Puget Sound for thousands of years," said Patti Goldman, attorney with Earthjustice. "This will give us the will and the tools to take the actions that will allow them to survive."
"With only 89 Southern Resident orcas left on the planet, one major oil spill could cause them to go extinct. The habitat protection afforded them by the Endangered Species Act is critical if we are to protect the ecological integrity of our marine environment," said killer whale biologist and Northwest Director of Ocean Advocates Fred Felleman.
The Endangered Species Act is a federal law providing a safety net for wildlife, plants, and fish on the brink of extinction. Endangered Species Act protection will result in many new safeguards for the orcas, including the creation of a binding recovery plan, protection for the whales' critical habitat, and assurances that all federal projects will protect the whales before the projects can proceed. These safeguards could lead to improvements in oil spill prevention, vessel traffic control, toxic pollution, and activities that harm salmon, herring, and other fish eaten by the orcas.
"Southern Resident killer whales have been integral to the ecological, social, and economic well being of the Pacific Northwest for thousands of years," said attorney Brent Plater of the Center for Biological Diversity. "Providing the Southern Residents the protections of the Endangered Species Act ensures that we protect these whales for future generations."
"This listing is long overdue but it's the right decision," said Kathy Fletcher, executive director for People for Puget Sound, an environmental group. "We know that these whales are in serious trouble, but the good news is this will give a real boost to make sure the actions are taken to make sure that these whales survive."
Background on Southern Resident Orcas
The Puget Sound resident orcas are an extended family of whales that live together in matriarchal family units. They use a unique language to communicate with each other. They differ from transient orcas in that they tend to stick close to shore and eat mostly salmon, herring, and other fish instead of hunting seals and other whales at sea. These whales are among the most intelligent animals in the world. Unfortunately they are also one of the most imperiled, which is why scientists and conservationists requested they be protected.
The listing of the orcas under the Endangered Species Act make it only the fortieth species to be added to the list of federally protected species since the Bush administration took office. Protections were extended to all 40 species only after federal courts ordered the government to act. In spite of its steadfast opposition to protecting the orcas, the regional head of the National Marine Fisheries Service, Bob Lohn, today changed his tune and finally admitted, "By giving it protection under the ESA, we have a better chance of keeping this population alive for future generations."

Air Berlin, part-owned by Etihad, plans to cut almost 10 percent of its workforce of 9,300 as part of a cost-cutting campaign aimed at halting years of losses.Air Berlin, Germany's second-biggest airline after Lufthansa, said on Tuesday its new restructuring programme announced in October would seek annual savings of EUR€400 million (USD$535 million) from the end of 2014.The programme will entail cutting 900 jobs and leave the airline to concentrate on its most profitable routes with more flights to be offered to popular destinations such as Majorca.It also said it would expand long-haul services from Berlin and Dusseldorf. Airports in Vienna, Hamburg, Munich, Zurich and Stuttgart will remain primary bases for Air Berlin planes.The company also aims to further cut its fleet of aircraft to 142 this year, from 158 at the end of September 2012.Air Berlin, which has not posted a full-year operating profit since 2007, has already cut seats, unprofitable routes and postponed aircraft orders to reduce costs and shrink its way back to profitability after racking up debts to expand.The years of losses cost founder Joachim Hunold his job as chief executive in 2011. Interim CEO Hartmut Mehdorn unexpectedly stepped down last week, handing over the controls to the airline's strategy chief Wolfgang Prock-Schauer.Under Mehdorn Etihad bought almost 30 percent of Air Berlin, granted loans to the German carrier and bought a majority of its frequent-flyer programme for EUR€184.4 million in cash - more than Air Berlin's market value.

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — The toddler who was shot in the face Tuesday during a drive-by shooting is out of surgery and recovering.
Her family's pastor tells us two-year-old Jraeona Moore remains on a ventilator because of the swelling, but doctors say her prognosis is good.
The girl was shot Tuesday afternoon during a drive-by shooting outside a Niagara Falls grocery store. She was sitting in a car parked outside, and a bullet hit her in the face, breaking bones.
Jraeona had surgery Tuesday night, but Pastor Duane Thomas said she looked much better today.
"She's gonna be fine. She's gonna be fine. She's a fighter. You know - a two-year-old child that was able to sustain this - I don't know if I would have been able to do this. But she is fighting, and she is strong, and I'm so glad about it," said Thomas.
Niagara Falls Police are searching for a person of interest in connection with the shooting. They're also looking for a mid sized silver sedan with a rear spoiler that may have been used.
Witnesses told YNN's Ryan Whalen that the scene unfolded quickly.
The manage of the corner grocery store at 17th and Pierce says a vehicle drove this way up 17th Street and fired shots at a car with two people in it, parked in front of the store.
"I heard three shots, then seconds later I heard somebody scream like somebody got hit," said Abdo Salleh, Hometown Grocery manager. "I've been here almost 20 some years now. When you hear a gunshot, it's scary stuff."
Salleh said a woman came into his store right before 1:30 in the afternoon Tuesday. They both heard gunshots.
"As soon as she walked in this store, she went right back out and she was saying, my baby, my baby. She opened the car, she saw a baby."
He says a man and child were waiting in the white vehicle outside when shots were fired. Police say the two-year-old girl was taken to Women and Children's Hospital.
"I'm shocked, shocked when I heard the bullet. When I heard the mother screaming, as soon as she went inside the car, she drives through and she was gone."
In the aftermath, neighbors and witnesses gathered around trying to figure out what had happened.
"I didn't know what to do because usually if you hear something like that, it's normal around here, people shooting but not at each other, being stupid shooting at the air and stuff."
Many were angry an innocent child was caught in the crossfire.
"That's terrible. It's really terrible. It's pretty bad. You can't go to the store and not get shot at. That's bad," said A.J., a witness.
The manager of the Hometown Grocery says police did confiscate security footage from cameras in the parking lot.

Always the masters of the arts of deception and misdirection, what's to keep marketers from gaming social metrics for short-term gain?
What follows is an exploration and a survey of the grey zone in social media and marketing. (In other words, if you're a social media idealist, this would be the time to look away.)
Be advised I am not some "black tie social" promoter espousing nefarious shortcuts to online greatness; I work for a digital marketing agency – the kind that helps B2B companies produce the virtuous stuff that makes them gain social influence organically, if a bit more slowly.
For this piece, I just want to investigate how marketers' social mores are evolving.

Why, would that somehow bring [the passengers] back to life?
For the time being, no crash has been reported, and nobody offically died. Satellites past footage indicate no explosion in the area. Since the plane cannot be found anywhere around its last known position, where sea is 100 meters deep at most, some scenarii suggest that the pilot(s) went mad and drove the plane away from its planned route. Who knows where it actually is now?

But this fine establishment not only offers authentic Greek cuisine, but Persian and Mediterranean as well. Manager, Fatima Ghayournejadian said that they wanted to give the restaurant a "homey" feel to it and tried to stick with warm tone colors. The decor is centered around warm greens and browns. The dining area is casual with chestnut colored dining tables and comfy cushioned chairs. The large windows let in the natural light giving a great balance to the warm tones. Fatima Ghayournejadian said that the restaurant is very family based and like their Persian heritage, they treat each customer as if they were family. • Menu: The flexible menu offers a mix of Greek, Persian and Mediterranean foods. Owner, Moe Ghayournejadian came to the country for college in 1979 and started working parttime at Burger King along with other restaurants. His love for cooking and dreams of opening a business led him into starting various food establishments throughout the Atlanta area including their newest location Opa! After working at a Greek restaurant, he decided to open one of his own, but felt that the menu needed more of a mix that included some of his own native food. It features kabobs, sandwiches, wraps, appetizers, platters, grilled dishes and desserts. Like the name, the restaurant offers a variety of kabobs from a regular shish kabob to the most popular — lamb kabob. They also have sandwiches from your typical Philadelphia cheesesteak to their specialty Persian chicken sandwich. The appetizers range from the chicken finger basket to the popular Middle Eastern dish hummus. All desserts are homemade and include cakes and popular Greek pastries such as baklava and kataifi. Drinks include regular Coke products, coffee, iced tea, green tea and Persian tea. • Things you might not know: Opa! recently got its liquor license and will not only serve beer and wine, but Greek beer and wine. They will start opening the restaurant on Sundays and begin serving alcohol this Sunday. In the next few weeks, Opa! will be featuring belly dancers and hookas every Friday and Saturday. Opa! is available to rent-out for special events such as birthdays, anniversaries, engagements or any other special events. Opa! does dine-in and take-out, but it also offers a catering service.More like this story

Consumers in the region have one of the lowest average debt burdens in the nation, and residents continue slowly to pay down their financial obligations, according to data from one of the largest credit-reporting agencies.
Falling debt levels among consumers in the Dayton metro area may mean they have more disposable income, which could provide a boost to consumer spending and the local economy, experts said.
Debt reduction can help improve credit scores and interest rates, and it increases the likelihood that people will put money into their savings.
But debt also reflects consumer confidence, and some people may choose to shun debt because they remain worried about the economy and their ability to repay lenders. Some people may not qualify for loans because lending standards have changed.
"Some people may have reverted back to the old-fashioned, tightening of the belt, as far as their spending habits," said Melodee Sheils, director of Consumer Credit Counseling Service in Dayton. "But some of it could also be a result of the strict tightening of credit in the last few years."
In 2012, residents in the Dayton metro area on average owed $22,801 in consumer debt, according to a report released by Experian. The metro area includes Greene, Miami, Montgomery and Preble counties. The estimate includes all types of debt, except mortgage obligations.
Consumers in the region had the 11th lowest average debt burden among 143 U.S. metro areas. Locally, average debt obligations last year fell 1.1 percent from 2011. Across the country, debt levels rose last year.
Nationwide, residents in the La Crosse, Wis., metro area carried the smallest average debt load, $21,113. Reno, Nev., residents shouldered the most debt, $27,320.
Declining debt loads in this region, combined with an uptick in median income, likely meant many local residents had a little more money in their pockets, said Rod Griffin, director of public education for Experian. Local median income increased to $63,300 in 2012, compared to $62,400 in 2011.
"That suggests that people have a little more available disposable income to spend," he said.
The economy runs on disposable income. Consumer spending accounts for about 70 percent of the economy, and consumers must spend more to give businesses an incentive to increase hiring. Large amounts of debt force consumers to spend less on shopping, recreation and travel, which impedes economic growth.
Debt piles up quickly when people live beyond their means, and that can be a source of stress and anxiety, and it strains relationships with loved ones and often harms the debtor's health, said Lucia Dunn, economics professor at The Ohio State University.
Consumers who are struggling to pay their bills oftentimes treat their credit cards as an extension of their incomes, which can be devastating down the road, she said.
"Some people pay for groceries, doctor bills and rent with credit," she said. "They buy now and pay later."
She said reducing debt eases stress and is one of the primary ways consumers can get their finances in order.
Credit counselors and experts said low levels of debt in the region could also signal a cautious attitude about spending and investing.
Consumers typically are more willing to take risks and assume debt when they are optimistic about the future, Dunn said. The cloud of uncertainty that hangs over the economy may mean consumers lack confidence that financial conditions will significantly improve.
In addition, lending standards are more strict than they were before the downturn, meaning many people do not qualify for loans, said Sheils, with the Dayton credit counseling service. High unemployment could also play a role, because unemployed workers often cannot obtain traditional credit.
Debt is oftentimes unavoidable, and it is important to ensure repayment accounts for a manageable share of monthly income, Sheils said. Consumers need to save for unexpected financial problems and retirement. Medical emergencies, car repairs and job losses are just some of the economic obstacles that can crop up.
Consumers should try to keep their debt-t0-income ratio at about 20 percent of their gross earnings or below, Sheils said. When the ratios exceed 35 percent, consumers are considered a very high credit risk.
Financial responsibility requires that consumers closely monitor and evaluate their spending habits, said Katie Ross, education and development manager for American Consumer Credit Counseling, based in Newton, Mass.
Fortunately, since the recession began many consumers have educated themselves on financial matters and have worked out sensible repayment and savings plans, she said.
"Consumers have been taking ownership of their spending and proactively trying to turn their financial lives around," she said.
But Dunn co-authored a recent study that found younger Americans are taking on more credit card debt than older residents, and they are also repaying it a slower rate. She said that suggests there may be more elderly people in the future with significant financial problems.
While local residents are cutting their debt loads, they are opening more credit cards, and delinquency rates on loan repayments have increased, Experian said.
Late payments rose by almost 10 percent last year, and Dayton consumers on average had 1.84 open credit cards in 2012, up 8 percent from the previous year. These trends could explain why the average VantageScore in the Dayton region dipped to 751 in 2012 from 753 in 2011. The average U.S. consumer credit score was 750 last year. Experian said the numerical range used by VantageScore is 501-990, with higher scores representing a lower likelihood of financial risk.

In this election season, the Gay History Project has attempted to interview both the Democratic and Republican candidates for president, using the same format: the same questions, with no follow-up questions and the same time limit. Unfortunately, Republican candidate Sen. John McCain's press representative Jill Hazelbaker has not responded to requests by phone, letter or e-mail.
Sen. Barack Obama's campaign put no conditions on the interview, which was conducted by phone on Sept. 16. An audio version of the interview can be found online at the Philadelphia Gay News (www.epgn.com). In his first interview with gay press since he officially took the Democratic nomination, here's what Obama had to say.
MARK SEGAL: You are the most LGBT-friendly candidate running for president in history. Are you concerned that John McCain and the Republicans might use this as a divisive issue as they did in 2004?
Sen. Barack Obama
BARACK OBAMA: No. I think they can try but I don't think it will work for a couple of reasons. Number one, I think that the American peoples' attitudes with respect to LGBT issues are continuing to evolve. I think people are becoming more and more aware of the need to treat all people equally regardless of sexual orientation. There are some people who disagree with that, but frankly those folks - many of them - probably have already made their minds up about this election earlier.
SEGAL: You've talked about your many gay friends. Would you and Michelle be comfortable attending their commitment ceremony?
OBAMA: We would. But I'll be honest with you that, these days, I can't go anywhere.
SEGAL: President George W. Bush has used signing orders to change military rules and regulations. If White House counsel advised you that you could end ''Don't Ask, Don't Tell'' by attaching a signing order to a military appropriations bill, would you?
OBAMA: I would not do it that way. The reason is because I want to make sure that when we revert ''Don't Ask, Don't Tell,'' it's gone through a process and we've built a consensus or at least a clarity of that, of what my expectations are, so that it works. My first obligation as the president is to make sure that I keep the American people safe and that our military is functioning effectively. Although I have consistently said I would repeal ''Don't Ask, Don't Tell,'' I believe that the way to do it is make sure that we are working through a process, getting the Joint Chiefs of Staff clear in terms of what our priorities are going to be. That's how we were able to integrate the armed services to get women more actively involved in the armed services. At some point, [you've] got to make a decision that that's the right thing to do, but you always want to make sure that you are doing it in a way that maintains our core mission in our military.
SEGAL: Many lawyers contend that the Defense of Marriage Act passed by Congress is unconstitutional. It takes away over 1,100 rights, including IRS joint filings. If a suit is filed in federal court, would you expect or instruct your attorney general to join in that suit with an amicus brief questioning its legality?
OBAMA: I would want to review carefully any lawsuit that was filed. This is probably my carryover from being a constitutional lawyer. Here's where I can tell you [what] my principle is: DOMA was an unnecessary encroachment by the federal government in an area traditionally reserved for the state. I think that it was primarily sent as a message to score political points instead of work through these difficult issues. I recognize why it was done. I'm sympathetic to the political pressures involved, but I think that we need to bring it to a close and my preference would be to work through a legislative solution. I would also point out that if it's going before this court, I'm not sure what chances it would have to be overturned. I think we're going to have to take a different approach, but I am absolutely committed to the concept it is not necessary.
SEGAL: In last year's Gay History Project, Elaine Noble, who was one of the first elected [gay] officials in the country, referring to her discussions with Harvey Milk, said ''I think we both knew that one of us was going to die.'' Milk, of course, was killed. As the potential first African-American president, have you and Michelle discussed this?
OBAMA: We don't spend time worrying about security issues. We have Secret Service protection, which is the best in the world. Obviously we take precautions and listen to them, but what I spend the day thinking about is how do I get my message out that we need to change this country to make it more just and more fair, to make sure the economy is growing on behalf of middle-class Americans, make sure kids can go to college and bringing this war in Iraq to an end. That's what I spend my time thinking about.
SEGAL: In the wake of the torture murder of Matthew Shepard [in 1998], Sen. McCain voted against adding sexual orientation to the definition of hate crimes and says he'll vote against it again. Isn't this inconsistent for a man who knows torture?
OBAMA: You'll have to ask Sen. McCain that. Here's what I can say. There is no doubt that hate crimes based on sexual orientation are all too prevalent. It is something that we have to hit back hard against and identify these vicious crimes for what they are: hate crimes. This is something that I believe in and will continue to believe in when I am president.
SEGAL: Presidents Ronald Reagan, Bush and Bill Clinton, when meeting world leaders, have raised human-rights questions. Amnesty International has documented countries that imprison, torture and kill gay men, some of which are very close U.S. allies. Would you be willing to raise that question when meeting with those leaders?
OBAMA: I think that the treatment of gays, lesbians and transgender persons is part of this broader human-rights discussion. I think it is not acceptable that we would in any way carve out exceptions for our broader human-rights advocacy to exclude violations of human rights based on sexual orientation. I think that has to be part and parcel of any conversations we have about human rights.

Giants sign three players to future contracts
Friday - 1/25/2013, 4:50pm  ET
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- The New York Giants signed tight end Jamie Childers, cornerback Buddy Jackson and kicker-punter Jake Rogers to reserve-future contracts on Friday.
Childers was signed as a free agent by St. Louis in May. The former quarterback and tight end at Coastal Carolina played in one preseason game before being waived.
Jackson was signed as a free agent by Indianapolis in May and was waived Aug. 15. He was on Washington's practice squad from Nov. 12 until the end of the season.
Rogers handled punting and placekicking at the University of Cincinnati. He made all three of his field goal attempts for Tampa Bay in the 2011 preseason and punted six times for a 41.7-yard gross average and a 24.5-yard net.

Analysis of Lung Surfactant Model Systems with Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry Biophysical Journal, Volume 79, Issue 1, 1 July 2000, Pages 357-369 Nikolaus Bourdos, Felix Kollmer, Alfred Benninghoven, Michaela Ross, Manfred Sieber and Hans-Joachim Galla Abstract An often-used model lung surfactant containing dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG), and the surfactant protein C (SP-C) was analyzed as Langmuir-Blodgett film by spatially resolved time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) to directly visualize the formation and composition of domains. Binary lipid and lipid/SP-C systems were probed for comparison. TOF-SIMS spectra revealed positive secondary ions (SI) characteristic for DPPC and SP-C, but not for DPPG. SI mapping results in images with domain structures in DPPC/DPPG and DPPG/SP-C, but not in DPPC/SP-C films. We are able to distinguish between the fluid and condensed areas probably due to a matrix effect. These findings correspond with other imaging techniques, fluorescence light microscopy (FLM), scanning force microscopy (SFM), and silver decoration. The ternary mixture DPPC/DPPG/SP-C transferred from the collapse region exhibited SP-C-rich domains surrounding pure lipid areas. The results obtained are in full accordance with our earlier SFM picture of layered protrusions that serve as a compressed reservoir for surfactant material during expansion. Our study demonstrates once more that SP-C plays a unique role in the respiration process. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1205 kb) |
Multilayer Structures in Lipid Monolayer Films Containing Surfactant Protein C: Effects of Cholesterol and POPE Biophysical Journal, Volume 88, Issue 4, 1 April 2005, Pages 2638-2649 Stefan Malcharek, Andreas Hinz, Lutz Hilterhaus and Hans-Joachim Galla Abstract The influence of cholesterol and POPE on lung surfactant model systems consisting of DPPC/DPPG (80:20) and DPPC/DPPG/surfactant protein C (80:20:0.4) has been investigated. Cholesterol leads to a condensation of the monolayers, whereas the isotherms of model lung surfactant films containing POPE exhibit a slight expansion combined with an increased compressibility at medium surface pressure (10–30mN/m). An increasing amount of liquid-expanded domains can be visualized by means of fluorescence light microscopy in lung surfactant monolayers after addition of either cholesterol or POPE. At surface pressures of 50mN/m, protrusions are formed which differ in size and shape as a function of the content of cholesterol or POPE, but only if SP-C is present. Low amounts of cholesterol (10mol %) lead to an increasing number of protrusions, which also grow in size. This is interpreted as a stabilizing effect of cholesterol on bilayers formed underneath the monolayer. Extreme amounts of cholesterol (30mol %), however, cause an increased monolayer rigidity, thus preventing reversible multilayer formation. In contrast, POPE, as a nonbilayer lipid thought to stabilize the edges of protrusions, leads to more narrow protrusions. The lateral extension of the protrusions is thereby more influenced than their height. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1029 kb) |
Scanning Force Microscopy at the Air-Water Interface of an Air Bubble Coated with Pulmonary Surfactant Biophysical Journal, Volume 82, Issue 1, 1 January 2002, Pages 474-480 D. Knebel, M. Sieber, R. Reichelt, H.-J. Galla and M. Amrein Abstract To study the structure-function relationship of pulmonary surfactant under conditions close to nature, molecular films of a model system consisting of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol, and surfactant-associated protein C were prepared at the air-water interface of air bubbles about the size of human alveoli (diameter of 100μm). The high mechanical stability as well as the absence of substantial film flow, inherent to small air bubbles, allowed for scanning force microscopy (SFM) directly at the air-water interface. The SFM topographical structure was correlated to the local distribution of fluorescent-labeled dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, as revealed from fluorescence light microscopy of the same bubbles. Although SFM has proven before to be exceptionally well suited to probe the structure of molecular films of pulmonary surfactant, the films so far had to be transferred onto a solid support from the air-water interface of a film balance, where they had been formed. This made them prone to artifacts imposed by the transfer. Moreover, the supported monolayers disallowed the direct observation of the structural dynamics associated with expansion and compression of the films as upon breathing. The current findings are compared in this respect to our earlier findings from films, transferred onto a solid support. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (428 kb) |

This study focuses on the structural organization of surfactant protein B (SP-B) containing lipid monolayers. The artificial system is composed of the saturated phospholipids dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG) in a molar ratio of 4:1 with 0.2 mol% SP-B. The different "squeeze-out" structures of SP-B were visualized by scanning probe microscopy and compared with structures formed by SP-C. Particularly, the morphology and material properties of mixed monolayers containing 0.2 mol% SP-B in a wide pressure range of 10 to 54mN/m were investigated revealing that filamentous domain boundaries occur at intermediate surface pressure (15–30mN/m), while disc-like protrusions prevail at elevated pressure (50–54mN/m). In contrast, SP-C containing lipid monolayers exhibit large flat protrusions composed of stacked bilayers in the plateau region (app. 52mN/m) of the pressure-area isotherm. By using different scanning probe techniques (lateral force microscopy, force modulation, phase imaging) it was shown that SP-B is dissolved in the liquid expanded rather than in the liquid condensed phase of the monolayer. Although artificial, the investigation of this system contributes to further understanding of the function of lung surfactant in the alveolus.

In the study of mythology and religion, the underworld (gr: κάτω κόσμος) is a generic term approximately equivalent to the lay term afterlife, referring to any place to which newly dead souls go. In most cultures the term refers to a neutral or dystopic realm of the afterlife, instead of a heavenly one. Sometimes the underworld is identified as "Hell" because Hell was thought to be under the Earth.
(Note: this includes guardian-type creatures, ghosts, and spirits such as demons, veli, and Cerberus)

wow very expressive
wow! Is this done the old fashioned way.. with a pen? Or illustrator? It's beautiful either way.. Different to anything i've seen in a long time!
Thanks! :)
I drew it originally in green maker, then I scanned it into photoshop, fixed up the lines, made them black, then started colouring, and to bring the image together a little bit more I used some brushes that I made recently out of scans of my watercolour splatters and drips.
