NORTH COLLINS - North Collins Elementary School PTA hosted its first Family Movie Night of the Year on Nov. 9. More than 90 children and their parents or grandparents joined in the cafetorium for a showing of "The Lorax."
Children were encouraged to wear pajamas, bring pillows and blankets so they could enjoy the movie in a "slumber party" atmosphere. Students watched the movie and were treated to popcorn, juice pouches and bottles of water. At the conclusion of the event, PTA raffled off two copies of the movie. The lucky winners were Kayla Dechow and Isabelle Wroblewski.
In keeping with the Lorax's "green" theme, the PTA sponsored a one-time shoe recycling event. Families donated old shoes and sneakers to be recycled into plastic decking and furniture through Terracycle.

Sellwood Bridge closes Thursday for bridge move
A week-long closure of the Sellwood Bridge will begin on Thursday, January 17 at 5 a.m. to allow a contractor to slide the main river span north to set up a detour bridge. The bridge is scheduled to reopen by 7 a.m. on Thursday, January 24. The public will use the detour span from late January until the new Sellwood Bridge opens in 2015.
The posted westbound detour routes during the closure are:
Eastbound routes are the reverse. Congestion is expected on the north detour route during weekday commute hours. Travelers should plan their alternate route in advance and expect longer trips during the closure, especially on weekdays. Bicyclists may prefer the Hawthorne Bridge for the northern detour. A portion of the westside trail near the bridge and both lanes of Highway 43 will be re-routed during the bridge closure but will remain open at all times.
On Saturday, January 19 the 1100-foot truss span will be moved north and attached to new river piers to set up the detour bridge. A system of hydraulic jacks will lift and push the span along steel beams. The move is expected to start by 8:30 a.m. and take 12 to 16 hours to complete. The movement will be too slow (less than one inch per minute) to detect visually. A time-lapse video of the move will be posted to the project website the day after the move. The public can monitor the bridge move in real time online on the project's web camera at www.sellwoodbridge.org and track updates on Twitter @sellwoodbridge.
Moving the 6.8 million pound truss span north will create space for the new Sellwood Bridge to be built in the alignment of the old bridge. The detour bridge has several advantages compared to the original plan, which was to build the new bridge in two phases. The detour bridge approach:
Multnomah County is the lead agency for the Sellwood Bridge project. Slayden-Sundt Joint Venture is the project's construction manager/general contractor. Omega Morgan is the sub-contractor responsible for the bridge move. More information and drawings explaining the move are available on the Big Move page of the project website www.sellwoodbridge.org.

Heading north on I-75? You'll run into Zilwaukee Bridge construction
Start your calculations and predictions... will three lanes over the Zilwaukee Bridge be enough? Or are you better off taking a different route?
Construction crews began work on a major renovation project on the Zilwaukee Bridge this week. The project is expected to last through January 2015.
Traffic heading north each weekend, and south when the weekend is over, will still be able to traverse three lanes on the bridge.
Traffic is being rerouted along as follows:
Wednesdays - Saturdays
- I-75 North will continue across the bridge
- I-75 South will be detoured onto I-675
Sundays - Tuesdays
- I-75 South will shift onto I-75 northbound lanes and over the bridge
- I-75 North will be detoured onto I-675
Here's a map of the detours and the other I-75 construction projects nearby:
MDOT says work on the bridge includes "replacing bearings, bridge deck overlay and barrier repairs, and electrical work."
Southbound bearing replacement, including the road and bridge work project, begins April 1 and continues through January 2014. Northbound bearing replacement will begin after work on the southbound lanes is completed, and is expected to last through January 2015. Total investment: $36 million.
Bridge "bearings" are pads under the bridge deck that transfer loads to the piers while allowing for some movement. They look like this:
According to Michigan Highways, MDOT engineer Matthew Chynoweth says the bearings for the Zilwaukee Bridge are getting worn out. New bearings of "high-density plastic material" will give the bridge a much longer life:
The bearings—designed to support up to 8 million pounds each—require replacement because of normal wear and tear since the bridge's opening in 1987. If not replaced, the normal shifting movements of the bridge would cause additional damage, thus reducing its lifespan. Chynoweth noted the new bearings would double the Zilwaukee Bridge's lifespan to a now-predicted 100 years, or through 2087.
The bridge project, along with other nearby bridge and highway projects, are expected to cost $70 million.
I say we go back to these days and watch the boats go by:

Olympia Jean Snowe (née Bouchles; born February 21, 1947) is an American politician and former United States Senator from Maine and a member of the Republican Party. Snowe has become widely known for her ability to influence the outcome of close votes, including whether to end filibusters.[1][not in citation given] She and her former fellow senator from Maine, Susan Collins, are regarded as leading moderates within their party.[2][3] In 2006, she was named one of America's Best Senators by Time Magazine.[4] Snowe was famously known for her ability to compromise and her strong sense of bipartisanship.
On February 28, 2012, Snowe announced that she would not seek reelection in November 2012, and retired when her third term ended on January 3, 2013.[5] She cited hyper-partisanship leading to a dysfunctional Congress as her reason for not seeking reelection. Her seat went to the Independents when popular former Governor Angus King won the election to replace her.
Early life[edit]
Snowe was born Olympia Jean Bouchles in Augusta, Maine, the daughter of Georgia (née Goranites) and George John Bouchles. Her father immigrated to the United States from Sparti, Greece, and her maternal grandparents were also Greek.[6][7] She is a member of the Greek Orthodox Church.[8][9]
Snowe's early life had its share of tragedies; when she was nine, her mother died of breast cancer, and her father died of heart disease less than a year later. Orphaned, she was moved to Auburn, Maine, to be raised by her aunt and uncle, a textile mill worker and a barber, respectively, along with their five other children. Her brother John was raised separately, by other family members. Within a few years, disease would also claim her uncle's life.
Following her mother's death, Snowe was sent to St. Basil's Academy in Garrison, New York, where she remained from the third grade to the ninth. One of her teachers was Athena Hatziemmanuel, a notable Greek-American educator at the school. Returning to Auburn, she attended Edward Little High School, before entering the University of Maine in Orono, Maine, from which she earned a degree in political science in 1969. Shortly after graduation, Bouchles married her fiancé, Republican state legislator Peter Snowe.
Early political career[edit]
Snowe entered politics and rose quickly, winning a seat on the Board of Voter Registration and working for Congressman (later U.S. Senator and U.S. Secretary of Defense) William Cohen. Tragedy struck Snowe again in 1973, when her husband was killed in an automobile accident. At the urging of family, friends, neighbors and local leaders, Snowe ran for her husband's Auburn-based seat in the Maine House of Representatives at the age of 26 and won. She was re-elected to the House in 1974, and, in 1976, won election to the Maine Senate, representing Androscoggin County. That same year, she was a delegate to both the state and national Republican conventions.
Snowe was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1978, and represented Maine's 2nd Congressional District from 1979 to 1995. The district takes in most of the northern two-thirds of the state, including Bangor and her hometown of Auburn. She served as a member of the Budget and International Relations Committees.
Snowe married John "Jock" McKernan, then Governor of Maine, in February 1989. Tragedy struck Snowe yet again in 1991 when her stepson Peter McKernan died from a heart ailment at the age of 20. Snowe and Jock McKernan had served together in the United States House of Representatives from 1983 to 1986, when McKernan represented the 1st District. While Snowe was First Lady of Maine from 1989 to 1995, she served as a U.S. Representative and was elected and sworn in as a United States Senator.
U.S. Senate career[edit]
In 1994, when Senate Majority Leader George J. Mitchell declined to run for re-election, Snowe immediately declared her candidacy for the seat. The Democratic nominee was her House colleague, 1st District Congressman Tom Andrews. Snowe defeated Andrews 60–36%, carrying every county in the state. Snowe was part of the Republican election sweep of 1994, when the Republican party captured both the House and Senate for the first time since 1954. Snowe was easily reelected in 2000 over State Senate President Mark Lawrence, increasing her winning margin to 69%-31%. She also cruised past her Democratic opponent Jean Hay Bright in her 2006 reelection bid winning 74%-20.6%.
Snowe was an important voice during the Senate's 1999 impeachment trial of then-President Bill Clinton. She and fellow Maine Senator Susan Collins sponsored a motion that would have allowed the Senate to vote separately on the charges and the remedy — a "finding of fact" resolution. When the motion failed, Snowe and Collins voted to acquit, arguing that Clinton's perjury did not warrant his removal from office.
Her occasional breaks with the Bush administration drew attacks from conservative Republicans; the Club for Growth and Concerned Women for America label her a "Republican In Name Only" (RINO).[10] In February 2006, TheWhiteHouseProject.org named Snowe one of its "8 in '08", a group of eight female politicians who could possibly run and/or be elected president in 2008.[11]
In April 2006, Snowe was selected by Time as one of "America's 10 Best Senators."[12] She was the only woman so recognized. Time praised Snowe for her sensitivity to her constituents, also noting that: "Because of her centrist views and eagerness to get beyond partisan point scoring, Maine Republican Olympia Snowe is in the center of every policy debate in Washington." She received an honorary degree from Bates College in 1998, and another from the University of Delaware in 2008.
Snowe did not miss any of the 657 votes on the Senate floor during the 110th Congress from 2007 to 2009.[13] She was one of only eight senators who did not miss any votes during that session.[13]
Snowe is the fourth woman to serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee and the first to chair its seapower subcommittee, which oversees the Navy and Marine Corps. In 2001, Snowe became the first Republican woman to secure a full-term seat on the Senate Finance Committee.
Snowe was the youngest Republican woman ever elected to the United States House of Representatives; she is also the first woman to have served in both houses of a state legislature and both houses of the U.S. Congress. Additionally, she is the first Greek-American congresswoman. With her 1989 marriage to McKernan, she became the first person to simultaneously be a member of Congress and First Lady of a state. She has never lost an election in 35 years as an elected official, and in the 2006 midterm senatorial elections, Snowe won with a reported 73.99% of votes. On Tuesday February 27, 2012, citing excessive partisanship and a dispiriting political environment, Snowe said that she would not run for re-election in November 2012. Her surprise decision delivered a potential blow to Republicans, who needed just a handful of seats to regain control of the Senate; Snowe was considered one of their safer incumbents.[14]
Gang of 14[edit]
On May 23, 2005, Snowe was one of fourteen senators dubbed the Gang of 14, who defused a confrontation between Senate Democrats (who were filibustering several judicial nominees) and the Senate Republican leadership (who wanted to use the nominations as a flashpoint to eliminate filibusters on nominees through the so-called nuclear option). The Gang-brokered compromise precluded further filibusters and the implementation of the nuclear option for the remainder of the 109th Congress; under its terms, the Democrats retained the power to filibuster a Bush judicial nominee in an "extraordinary circumstance," and nominees (Janice Rogers Brown, Priscilla Owen and William Pryor) received a simple majority vote by the full Senate.
The Gang later played an important role in the confirmation of Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito, as they asserted that neither met the "extraordinary circumstances" provision outlined in their agreement. Snowe ultimately voted for both Roberts and Alito.

Political positions[edit]
Snowe shares a centrist ideology with her former fellow senator from Maine, Susan Collins, who is considered a "half-turn more conservative" than Snowe.[15] Snowe supports legalized abortion and some gay rights, and though she previously voted to block the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, she was one of eight Republican senators to vote for the repeal on December 18, 2010. In her 2006 re-election campaign, she was one of two Republican Senate candidates endorsed by the prominent gay rights organization, the Human Rights Campaign (the other was Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island).[16] She also supports the death penalty and strongly supports the war on drugs and the United States embargo against Cuba.
Snowe supported both President Clinton's involvement in Kosovo and President George W. Bush's invasions in Afghanistan and Iraq. On fiscal issues, she has voiced support for cutting taxes as economic stimulus, although she joined fellow Republican senators Lincoln Chafee and John McCain in voting against the Bush tax cuts in 2003. However, she voted for the extension in 2011. She opposes most free trade agreements, including the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). She was the only Republican to vote for the Tax Fairness and Economic Growth Act of 1992. She is a strong supporter of environmental protections. Both Snowe and fellow Maine Senator Susan Collins have embraced strong gun-control measures following the Columbine High School shooting in 1999.
In the 110th Congress, Snowe worked to ensure passage of a genetic non-discrimination act, which she had previously worked to pass for nearly eight years; opposed cutting loans through the Small Business Administration; offered legislation aimed at reducing the price of prescription drugs and insurance costs for small businesses; and became a leading voice among Congressional Republicans expressing concerns over President Bush's plans for the privatization of Social Security.
Snowe is a member of the Republican Main Street Partnership and supports stem cell research. She is also a member of Republicans for Environmental Protection, the Republican Majority for Choice, Republicans for Choice and The Wish List (Women In the Senate and House), a group of pro-choice Republican women.
In 2008, Snowe endorsed Republican candidate John McCain for President of the United States.[17]
In the 111th Congress, Snowe backed the release of additional Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. While she opposed President Obama's budget resolution, she pledged to work in a bipartisan manner on the issues of health care reform and energy.[18]
On October 13, 2009, Snowe voted (she was responsible for health care reform coming to the Senate floor for a vote, and eventually passing) for the Finance Committee's health care reform bill. However, she stated that she might not support the final bill (although it did not matter as there was a Democratic majority) because of reservations.[19] In December 2009, Snowe voted against cloture for two procedural motions and ultimately against the Senate Health Care Reform Bill.[20] Snowe again voted against health care reform when she voted "no" on the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010.[21]
When Snowe announced in February 2012 that she would not seek re-election, it was reported that she and Democrat Ben Nelson had the closest overlap of any two members of the U.S. Senate.[22] Neither is serving in the Senate after 2012.
In 2012, Snowe endorsed Republican candidate Mitt Romney for President of the United States.[23]

Well the first contract is not that much of an investment. Risk Reward say you get a guy that gives you 12 quality mpg for 4 years at 800,000 per thats a good investment. If you get lucky and get a star or just a starter your getting a great investment and have the cap space to expand around your draft picks.

1st Round Rook Deals are 2 years with a team option on the 3rd.. So basically you are guaranteed 2 years, and if you are worthy the team will pick you up for the 3rd and other teams cannot touch you.. Last pick of the lottery 14 (John Henson) is locked in at ~1.9 mil/year & pick 15 (Moe Harkless) 1.8 mil/year.. Basically im just saying not a huge investment to take on Archie's potential at 18 years old from a GM standpoint.. The kids should be thinking about the best way to get to the 2nd contract their 4th year..
wildcatfan440 said...
Are you guys serious there is a reason that Archie didn't play more point and that is he wouldn't pass. Goodwin is a huge risk right now and what do you think NBA guards will do guarding Goodwin? They will play the drive and make him shoot, until he can shoot from outside he's a liability on both ends because he isn't a great defender.
A simple question: is your butt jealous of the amount crap coming from your mouth?
BIRDSEAT said...
And that is where "short term" thinking effects an NBA GM. If A. Goodwin is going to be a good player in 2 years, AND given his draft projection, he is wise to come out now. Else he waits until his Junior year.
A. Goodwin - for all his talent - is NOT ready for the NBA. But he would be picked somewhere in the 20 to 30 range. That puts him on a playoff team most likely. That also means experienced guards playing ahead of him. He would get 5 to 8 minutes a game fairly regularly depending on other reserves. He would be in the D-league most of the year. The difference is learning from the NBA players, getting his NBA education now, and then prospering later.
If you can be a first round pick, you have to roll the dice today. No reason in the world I would want G. Dieng to leave after this year, but if he is a first round pick - projected as so right now - he has to go as well. The money changes the life of some of these players and there is no gaurantee it will be there tomorrow.

Lets also not forget that Doron had the luxury of playing with 2 much better PG's and overall players around him. He also had better leadership around him. Archie is a better athlete, better defender. But Doron is a smooth scorer with a high IQ. Not much difference between the two although I think as far as the draft goes the NBA is more likely to take Archie higher due to longer term potential if the two were faced off in the same draft. Doron had a lot built in advantages over Archie though in his time as a Wldcat.
hoptownukfan said...
Nah. That's a pretty terrible take.
You don't make life changing money at the end of the first round. You make life changing money in the lottery and IN YOUR SECOND CONTRACT. Marquis Teague is the very best example of why a player should stay if they are a freshman projected 20 or lower in the first round. He'll never get to showcase his talents the next two years. He'll probably get 3 or 4 years with the bulls but he won't get the big second contract that would set him for life.
Contrast that with what would have happened if he had come back. He would most likely be a top 10 pick and he'd be going to a team that would need him and play him. He'd also have another year of development to help him be better and see the floor more as a rookie. He'd make more money in his first two years than he would in his first 3 or 4 being drafted late in the first round and he'd get a much bigger second contract.
Now, somebody like dieng probably does need to go this year. He's a junior. He's not going to improve much. And with next year's draft if he doesn't improve he'll slide.
But AG, AP, and WCS can all improve GREATLY and with a better point guard, will improve greatly. If they do, they can all work their way into the end of the lottery and make a lot more money on their first contract and their second.

I have a quick question. I'm tooling around with stations and routing for the first time and was wondering, how do you get the routing to follow a conveyor path? Does the conveyor have to be an inventor asset in order to be recognized? Or do you just put up station after station, until you arrive at your next divert point? (knowing that stations aren't meant for routing paths, but for a purpose).
Solved! Go to Solution.
The current FDS solution cannot support following the specific path ,such as Conveyor path. The path is the direct line of the Bule point of the station now.
Thank you very much for the question, we are getting a lot of requests for this functionality and your feedback helps us prioritize functionality as candidates for a future release of Factory Design Suite.
I would also like the ability to route along a conveyor. Because I am unable to do this I have to purchase an alternative, non-Autodesk software to do what I thought Factory Design Suite could do.
Hi There,
Sorry we didn't update the latest info for you.
Now we have a chance to route along conveyor path in Factory Layout suite 2013. Please refer to the pdf attached.
Please let me know if you have any comments.
Thanks Xuesong! This is great news. Is there any way to change the units in the routings from minutes to seconds?
In Options, please find Factory Tab, in Defaults area, you can change the units for Stations, Operations, Jobs etc...

I stumbled across Tarallucci e Vino by chance today. I decided to step in for a sandwich. Ordering over the counter of delicacies I added a tart, which I was given the option of personally selecting. Tarallucci e Vino was a beautiful respite with excellently executed cuisine. I will be back for coffee and more delicious inspiration.

Making coffees at this cafe, like in Italy, is an art form. They take such care in making every cup and take pride in what they do. A coffee at starbucks and a coffee here are two completely different things. They also have great sandwiches. This is about as genuinely Italian as it gets in New York.

For those of you who know what this is, I have always wondered if this is real. The porno claims to trick women into thinking they are auditioning for a porno career, when in fact it is just some guy in an office taping girls **** him. Is it staged?

Absolutely love it. I set it up myself except needed help to place the top portion, which comes preassembled, (yay!) onto the base portion. I am not the handiest person but was easily able to follow the directions and put it together. Love the look and the pieces arrived in excellent shape. It gives the perfect amount of warmth with the thermostat.

Great product from Touch of Ginger, ordered a mini flight travel pod, Satisfied with the product, however, to be fair I believe there could have been more for the money. But the description of the product was exactly what you got.

99 5.3L check engine light
I have 93,000 on my silverado. THe check engine light just came on with no symptoms at all; runs the same as if it were off. What cheap diagnostic tools can you use to read these codes on these types of trucks. THe engine light just drives me nuts, I like my things to run perfect. Or if anyone else knows what it is; I heard it could be my O2 sensor in the exhaust systom goes out around this many miles. let me know appreciate much
10-02-2007, 01:00 PM #2Run it up to Autozone or a similar parts store and have them read the codes for you. They normally do it for free.

Not in Northern Minnesota, O' Rielys, Auto Value, Napa, all are money hungry or don't have any scanners/readers. Thanks though:
10-03-2007, 05:31 PM #4before you start throwing parts at the problem, I would invest in a simple code reader if I were you!! They're easy to operate and they pay for themselves in no time!! In the meantime, make sure your gas cap is on tight!! And a bad O2 sensor would not surprise me at all!!

[JURIST] The City of Chicago [official website] is willing to pay $20 million to settle lawsuits filed by four former death row inmates who claim to have been tortured by Chicago Police [official website] officers during interrogations before being wrongly convicted, local media reported Saturday. The settlement is contingent upon approval by the city's aldermen next week. The four men were among many who reported being brutally tortured by Chicago police during police interrogations in the 1970's and 80's. The settlement announced by the city's Law Department [official website] comes as Chicago attempts to ease tensions between the Chicago Police Department and residents. Last week, Mayor Richard Daley announced a new police chief [press release] for the force, the former head of the FBI's Philadelphia office. Chicago lawmakers hope the settlement and police reorganization will help improve racial relations in the city. The four men were pardoned in 2003 by then-Illinois governor George Ryan [JURIST news archive]. An investigation into Chicago police torture began in 2002, when the Chief Criminal Judge of Cook County appointed the two special prosecutors to investigate 64 reports of torture and cover-ups. In May 2006, the same judge ordered the public release of the report [AP report], holding that the privacy rights of the accused officers are outweighed by the public's need to know. In 2005, several human rights groups, including the MacArthur Center, asked [JURIST report] the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights [official website] to investigate the allegations. The New York Times has more. The Chicago Sun Times has local coverage.
[JURIST] US Marine Sgt. Jermaine A. Nelson was charged Friday with the November 2004 murder of an Iraqi detainee in Fallujah [JURIST news archive]. This is the second time Nelson has been charged with the murder. The original charges against him were initially dropped, but upon review of the case, the military decided to proceed. Nelson faces an Article 32 pretrial hearing [JAG backgrounder] to determine whether there is enough evidence to go forward with a full court-martial. If convicted of murder, Nelson faces life in prison. The alleged murder took place during a bloody battle [CNN report] between US troops and Iraqi insurgents over the city of Fallujah.In July, the Naval Criminal Investigation Service (NCIS) [official website] announced investigations of at least 10 Marines [JURIST report] in connection with the Fallujah offensive after former Marine Corporal Ryan Weemer admitted during a polygraphed job interview with the US Secret Service that he had witnessed indiscriminate killings in Fallujah. Military journalist Nathaniel Helms afterwards corroborated that account, reporting that he witnessed Marines execute subdued Iraqi prisoners, whose bodies were later buried under rubble from an air strike. The charges against Nelson follow those against former Marine Sgt. Jose Nazario, who pleaded not guilty [JURIST report] in September to voluntary manslaughter in connection with the same incident. AP has more.
[JURIST] A federal judge Friday dismissed a lawsuit challenging a new Arizona law aimed at preventing employers from knowingly hiring illegal immigrants [JURIST news archive]. The Legal Arizona Workers Act [AZHB 2779 PDF, Arizona Republic backgrounder], enacted [JURIST report] in July, gives the Superior Courts of Arizona power to suspend or revoke the business licenses of businesses that intentionally or knowingly employ illegal immigrants. Under the law, employers will be required to check the legal status of new hires using E-Verify [official DHS website], a free online federal program that checks names and identification documents to determine employment eligibility. The plaintiffs, a coalition of advocacy groups and business interests [JURIST report], had hoped to block the legislation before it takes effect on Jan. 1, 2008. US District Court Judge Neil V. Wake wrote [opinion text, PDF] that the lawsuit was premature because the law had not gone into effect and no one had been harmed, and also that the plaintiffs were wrong in suing the governor and the attorney general, because under the law, only county prosecutors, who were not defendants, have the power to enforce the law.Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano has called the law "the most aggressive action in the country against employers who knowingly or intentionally hire undocumented workers." Napolitano urged similar national legislation in a July letter [PDF text] to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, in which she also urged Congress to review the Basic Pilot Program [USCIS materials], the federal database used to verify the status of new employees. AP has more.
[JURIST] Six French charity workers accused of complicity in an abortive effort by French charity Zoe's Ark [advocacy website, in French] to airlift so-called "Darfur orphans" out of Chad [JURIST news archive] to Europe went on a hunger strike in the Chadian capital of N'Djamena Saturday to protest the way the Chadian legal probe into their case has been conducted, according to AFP. The six are said to be refusing food, although they are taking water and cigarettes. A lawyer for the group told AFP that the workers felt they had been abandoned by the French government; last month, French President Nicholas Sarkozy flew to Chad and brought out a number of freed journalists and flight crew [JURIST report] allegedly involved in the airlift.Last week investigators in Chad completed their investigation [JURIST report] of the airlift and transferred the case to Chadian prosecutors, who are expected to decide this week whether the case should proceed on misdemeanor charges to a correctional court, as the defendants have requested, or on more serious charges to a criminal court. Four Chadian nationals also face criminal charges [JURIST report] over their alleged involvement in the attempted airlift, including the mayor, secretary-general, deputy governor and neighborhood chief of the Chadian border town of Tine. AFP has more.
[JURIST] German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schäuble and his 16 regional counterparts have consider Scientology [church website] "an organization that is not compatible with the constitution", and will work to ban it in Germany, Schäuble said at the end of a two-day ministerial meeting Friday. The German government regards Scientology as a money-making organization, not a faith [German Embassy backgrounder]; a recent report of the interior ministers on terrorism criticized Scientology for breaching the human rights of its members, "such as the right to develop one's personality and the right to be treated equally." Scientology has about 6000 adherents in Germany and is closely monitored. The US State Departments' 2007 International Religious Freedom report on Germany [text] chided the German government for its treatment of Scientologists, noting that:
The Church of Scientology remained under observation (as it has been since 1997) by the federal and seven state OPCs [Offices for the Protection of the Constitution], based on a stated concern that the Church's teachings and practices are opposed to the democratic constitutional order or violate human rights. However, in recent years many state OPCs have opted to stop their observations of Scientology; exceptions included Baden-Wuerttemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Bremen, Hamburg, and Lower Saxony.Several states publish pamphlets about Scientology (and other religious groups) that detail the Church's ideology and practices. States defend the practice by noting their responsibility to respond to citizens' requests for information about Scientology as well as other subjects. The pamphlets warn of the dangers the Church poses to democracy, the legal system, and human rights.In response to concerns about Scientology's ideology and practices, government agencies at the federal and state level and private sector entities established rules or procedures that discriminate against Scientology as an organization and/or against individual members of the Church.
[JURIST] UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro [official profile; JURIST news archive] has concluded that at least 31 people were killed in a crackdown on anti-government protesters this September, according to UN sources [UN News Service report] Friday. The total is significantly higher than the figure of 10 originally claimed by the government, later upped to 15. Pinheiro cites the figure in an as-yet-unreleased report [JURIST report] to be presented to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on Tuesday. The Special Rapporteur, who had been barred from Myanmar [JURIST news archive] since 2003, was allowed to return there in the wake of the crackdown to report on the state of human rights there as the country's military junta tried to adopt a reconciliatory stance with the UN and critical Western states, including the US. Pinheiro also found that between 3,000 and 4,000 people were arrested in September and October, of whom anywhere from 500 to 1,000 are still being held. Some 1,150 political prisoners detained by the government prior to the protests have similarly not been released. Pinheiro met with several prominent political prisoners during his November visit to Myanmar [JURIST report], but his request to see opposition leader and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi was denied by the ruling junta. BBC News has more.
[JURIST] US Department of Justice lawyers advised the CIA's general counsel in 2003 not to destroy videotapes showing the "harsh interrogations" of high-value terror detainees Abu Zubaydah [BBC profile; JURIST news archive] and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri [GlobalSecurity profile; JURIST news archive], according to unnamed officials cited by the New York Times in a report Saturday. Scott W. Muller allegedly raised the option of destroying the tapes with the DOJ attorneys and then-White House deputy chief of staff Harriet Myers, who also advised against destruction. A number of lawmakers advised of the existence of the tapes - including US House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Peter Goss and and ranking Democratic minority member Jane Harman - also weighed in against destroying them, although Muller suggested they had no intelligence value and could put at risk US intelligence personnel shown on the tapes. In the short-term the CIA decided not to destroy the videos, but in 2005 as the interrogation program was coming under increased legislative and public scrutiny that stance was reversed by CIA Directorate of Operations head Jose A. Rodriguez Jr. The CIA's general counsel at that time, John Rizzo, was not informed of the destruction of the tapes beforehand. The New York Times has more.US Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) sent a letter [JURIST report] to US Attorney General Michael Mukasey Friday, asking that the DOJ launch an investigation into whether the CIA's destruction of videotaped recordings of two terror suspects in 2002 could be considered obstruction of justice. Existence of the videotapes was verified in November after the CIA admitted it had mistakenly denied [JURIST report] that it had recorded interrogations, and in a letter to CIA employees on Thursday, CIA Director Michael Hayden confirmed that the tapes had been destroyed in 2005 [JURIST report]. In US government documents released in March al-Nashiri claimed that his confession to responsibility for the 2000 USS Cole bombing was coerced through five years of torture [JURIST report]. In a transcript of testimony before a US Combatant Status Review Tribunal released in April Zubaydah made similar allegations of being subjected to torture prior to his transfer [JURIST report] to Guantanamo Bay. Both men were questioned at CIA secret prisons [JURIST news archive], the existence of which was only officially acknowledged by US officials late last year.
[JURIST] An emerging deal to select a new Lebanese president ran into a roadblock Friday as political factions in Lebanon's parliament failed to agree on mechanisms for changing a problematic constitutional provision. The favored candidate to replace now ex-president Emile Lahoud is Gen. Michel Suleiman [Xinhua report], but under the present Lebanese constitution [text, in French] the presidency cannot be held by a sitting military commander. Anti-Syrian and pro-Syrian groups in parliament disagree on how to address the problem: the pro-Syrian groups refuse to endorse any government-sponsored amendment to the constitution as they feel such an endorsement would be seen as a legitimation of the anti-Syrian government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, and supporters of Siniora do not want to leave the matter to parliament generally as they fear that would weaken Sinoria's already somewhat marginal position.Lahoud purported to declare a "state of emergency" and hand security responsibility to the army November 23 in a vaguely worded statement [JURIST report] issued just before leaving office at midnight that day at the end of his term without an elected successor in place. The emergency was immediately rejected by the the Siniora government, which noted through a spokesman that Lebanon's constitution did not permit the president to declare a state of emergency without obtaining the approval of the government under Article 65. Its Article 62 moreover provides that presidential powers revert to the government if the office of president falls vacant. AP has more
