An Open Letter to the new chief of the Philippine National Police by the Asian Human Rights Commission
Director General Oscar CalderonChief, Philippine National Police Camp General Rafael CrameQuezon City PHILIPPINES
Fax: +63 2724 8763
Dear General Calderon
PHILIPPINES: Alleged rights abuses by army demand full investigations, not whitewashing
The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has read with concern your interview published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer of 25 July 2006 entitled, "PNP clears Palparan on killings". The article refers to how you have exonerated Major General Jovito Palparan, the commander of the 7th Infantry Division of the Philippine Army from allegations of serious rights violations.
As you are aware, the AHRC has sent both you and your predecessor the details of a number of alleged grave human rights violations, including killings, by Palparan and his subordinates. We have rightly sought impartial and effective investigations into these. It therefore comes as a shock to the AHRC to read the remark attributed to you that, "[Palparan] was never implicated in any of our investigations so we have never asked for his statement (regarding the allegations)."
Allow us to take a moment to remind you of some of the recent incidents attributed to troops under the command of Major General Palparan:
1. FORCED DISAPPEARANCE: On the night of 13 October 2005, Tomas Paras, a 47-year-old rebel returnee was arbitrarily arrested and taken away by elements of 24th Infantry Battalion, one of whom was reportedly Staff Sergeant Elizaldo Betty. He has not been seen since. No investigation is known to have been conducted.
2. TORTURE & INTIMIDATION: In November 2005, labour leader Enrico Estarez was alleged to have been threatened by an officer and men attached to the 24th Infantry Battalion in San Miguel, Bulacan. Estarez went into hiding; three of his colleagues, namely Francis Paraon, Reynaldo Pizon and Herminio Zuniga, were reportedly tortured at a military detachment. No charges are known to have been laid. Estarez and his family have not received any government-sponsored protection.
3. INTIMIDATION: Since December 2005, 54-year-old Yolanda Lorenzana, her daughter Aileen Gutierez, and her ten children have left their village in Barangay Pinaod, San Ildefonso, Bulacan, for fear of the lives due to continuous harassment by the military. Elements of the 24th Infantry Battalion led by Master Sergeant Rollie Castillo allegedly forced Yolanda to disclose the whereabouts of two men, identified as "Emon" and "Ogie", whom they claimed to be rebels and the sons of Lorenzana. There has been no known investigation into the family's alleged intimidation.
4. EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLING: On 16 January 2006, 61-year-old activist Ofelia Rodriguez (a.k.a. Nanay Perla) of Barangay Divisoria, Mexico, Pampanga, was shot dead by two gunmen believed to be working for the military. Prior to the murder, 2nd Lt. John Paul Nicolas, head of the 69th Infantry Battalion, allegedly threatened to kill Rodriguez and had given a gun to her neighbour in order to carry out the killing. Earlier she was reportedly forced to state that she was a rebel leader. We are not aware of any progress in the murder investigation, or inquiries about the army's alleged role.
5. ABDUCTION & EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLING: On 31 January 2006, Allan Ibasan and Dante Salgado were found dead at a funeral home a day after they were arrested and forcibly taken in Sta. Ignacia, Tarlac, allegedly by four military men attached to the 71st Infantry Battalion. It is reported that seven other villagers were harassed, namely Glen Ibasan (17), Cesar Andaya (44), Annie Salgado, Reynaldo Reyla, Ricky Salgado, Eduardo Magallanes, Dominic Reyla. Again the soldiers are not known to have not been investigated regarding their possible involvement in the killings.
6. EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLING: On 13 February 2006, 19-year-old activist Audie Lucero was found dead in Barangay Capitangan, Abucay, Bataan, nearby a hospital where a day earlier he was seen when the building was approached by Lubao (Pampanga) Police, and then by more than ten personnel of the 24th Infantry Battalion. Yet again, there is no known investigation into the alleged connection between his killing and the security forces present at the time.
7. FORCED DISAPPEARANCE & INTIMIDATION: On 14 February 2006, villagers Reynaldo Manalo (32) and Raymond Manalo (22) of Barangay Bohol na Mangga, San Ildefonso, Bulacan were reported to have been illegally arrested by elements of the 24th Infantry Battalion headed by Master Sergeant Rollie Castillo and subsequently disappeared in San Ildefonso, Bulacan. Several of their relatives, namely Jesus Manalo, his wife Ester, Reynaldo's wife Maria Leonora, and the victims' cousin Celeste and seven children were also reportedly threatened. Reynaldo and Raymond's whereabouts are unknown. Again, there is no known investigation of the troops' alleged role.
8. FORCED DISAPPEARANCE: On 6 March 2006, labour leader Rogelio Concepcion (36) was forcibly abducted and disappeared by armed men in Barangay Mataas na Parang, San Ildefonso, Bulacan. Witnesses allege that military men were in the area at the time of the abduction, and that Concepcion was a target due to his criticism of a military deployment inside the factory where he worked as an organiser.
9. FORCED DISAPPEARANCE: On 3 April 2006, 24-year-old activist Ronald Intal of Barangay Asturias, Tarlac City, was forcibly abducted and subsequently disappeared, allegedly by armed men who were seen taking him towards a military detachment in Barangay Asturias, Tarlac City, where elements of the 70th Infantry Battalion are stationed. He has not been seen since. Those allegedly involved are not known to have been investigated.
As you will agree, these are serious allegations of grave abuses committed by troops under the command of Major General Palparan. In fact, they are but some among many such allegations. Yet in effect you have reportedly cleared him of wrongdoing even without having investigated these incidents or having called him to respond to the substantial allegations of rights violations committed by his subordinates.
Regardless of whether or not Major General Palparan was directly involved in any of the alleged abuses, which remain unclear, he is ultimately answerable for the actions of his men. As you will understand very well, the principle of command responsibility is central to the maintenance of discipline in any security force. Where an officer is shown to be beyond the law by virtue of his rank, and not liable for the wrongdoing of those under his orders, it sends a message that it is impunity rather than law that rules the day. It sends a message to the victims and their families that there is no point in seeking justice. It sends a message to the perpetrators of killings, torture and abductions that they are free to continue without fear of retribution. It is therefore essential that senior officers are held to account.
The Asian Human Rights Commission strongly insists that unless these and other similar allegations are adequately and effectively investigated, there can be no justification to exonerate either Major General Palparan or any of his accused subordinates. We urge you to retract your publicly reported statement freeing the major general of responsibility, and instruct your subordinates to continue with their inquiries as their top priority. They must exhaust all means possible to ensure that conclusive and strong cases are brought before the courts and the perpetrators of these serious crimes fully prosecuted.
In this, we wish to remind you of the commitment given by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in her State of the Nation Address on 24 July 2006: "In the harshest possible terms I condemn political killings. We together stopped judicial executions with the abolition of the death penalty. We urge witnesses to come forward. Together we will stop extrajudicial executions."
Extrajudicial executions and related gross abuses of human rights will only stop, and witnesses come forward, when you as the chief of police recognise that the perpetrators of killings are members of the armed forces, police, paramilitaries and persons working for them, and make as a top priority the pursuit, investigation and prosecution of the perpetrators. We urge you to do this without delay, and respond to the commitment of your president in real and unequivocal terms that will send a message to the victims and perpetrators alike that these killings and abductions will not be tolerated.
Yours sincerely
Basil FernandoExecutive DirectorAsian Human Rights Commission, Hong Kong

Pours a nice clear amber with a one finger head that is gone pretty quickly,heavy caramel malt aroma along with some brown sugar and highly toasted grain makes it pretty aromatic.Pretty sharp mouthfeel though pretty darn prickly on the tongu the only drawback to this brew in my opinion.Big and toasty flavors some almost butterscotch flavors come thru no hop bitterness really but that tru to the Irish red style.Pretty flavorful but the mouthfeel brings down the scores a little on this one.
After drinking a few of these beers the mouthfeel was alot smoother and rounder,maybe just one bad bottle in the bunch the better mouthfeel made this brew alot better.

Appearance This one poured a deep reddish brown with a good, solid off-white head that showed some tenacious retention. So far so good.
Smell The malts here are big at the nose and full of unsweetened molasses. Its almost reminiscent of a bock in that regard. Theres little else to the bouquet that I can pick out.
Taste The malt flavors are very intense. The raw molasses from the nose steps back a bit but the gooey liquid malt flavor is sharp. Its almost yeasty in a way with lots of butter on the sides of the tongue.
Mouthfeel This is medium-bodied with an English-type of bitterness from the malts and some light carbonation. It feels very concentrated in between the cheeks.
Drinkability This is a lot bigger than it looks. Its a big beer for sure and I seem to have enjoyed it more than the few others who have posted reviews.

Tapped at Maduro.
A: Deep mahogany, almost purple/red brown. Thick off white head. Quick dissipation. Minimal retention or lacing.
AR: Smokey caramel, roasted malts, red bean ice cream, grilled meat.
T: Burnt skirt steak fresh off the grill covered in caramel sauce.
MF: roasted, toasted, and smoky with mild bitterness. Meaty, yet light.
D: very low. This beer bothered me immensely.

A pretty beer: red/brown color with a huge tan head that resembled whipped cream. Very sticky. The aroma was on the light side, light roasted malt and some fruit. Lemony taste, some caramel, and a little bitterness at the end. A pleasant beer, easy to drink a few of these.

New arrival at the Richmond Road location of the Liquor Barn, in Lexington, Ky. This 330 ml(11.2 oz) bottle pours a clear copper body with a one inch head that is tinted between offwhite and beige. The head quickly falls to a film, leaving some patchy lace on the glass. Aroma is mostly spicy herbal hops, with a slightly sweetish pale malt background. Mouthfeel is light bodied with prickly carbonation. Taste begins with some biscuity pale malt sweetness that is quickly subdued by an herbal/floral hops bitterness. The mild hops bitterness rides through to the finish. Crisp and refreshing, and pleasantly drinakble. Not quite as good as a Smithwicks, but in the same league.

Ruddy copper with strawberry hues and a quickly rising and then quickly departing foamy head that leaves a fine cap and long tendrils rising up the side of the glass like vines. Aroma is bright, almost moist, sweet malt with some pungent hop and cinnamon. Thin mouthfeel leads to an odd malt base, almost smokey, with some fruit and spice and a slightly tannic finish that imparts an iced tea flavor. Sort of metallic flavor lingers. Small bits of hop poking through, but could easily be missed.

Pours red, a little darker than average, no head.
Aroma was kind of flat beer.
Taste, some slight tang to the ale, but really not much going on. The bitterness prolly isn't desireable in this style of beer. Tastes as if it is a half red, half brown ale blend with the slight nuttiness and subtlety (read: boring) that fans of session beers like. Lacking depth, substance, ingredients it seems.

Pours a deep ruby brown color forming a large creamed coffee like hue, fine speckled lacing forms evenly on the sides of my chalice. Aroma has some mild fruit notes, hints of grape and cherry with earthy rounded notes with a nice malt presence. Much more palatable than the last Irish Red I tried at double the price. Hints of peated malt, fruitiness lingers on throughout the maltiness, this beer could become one dimensional unless you really really like it. Underlying fruit blends nicely together, minimal hops. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with even flowing carbonation going on. No harsness on the palate really smoth and expressive. This was a solid authentic offering of the style from across the pond.

Poured from 2 1/2 to 3 inches above the glass leaving a big tan to light brown head floating over a clear reddish/amber colored ale.
Aroma consists of fruity caramel malts, a classic beer aroma.
Taste is more of the same a fruity caramel malt taste, and not the fruits of the tropics, the more hardy fruits grown in cooler temperatures.
A nice dry light caramel aftertaste on this moderately carbonated Irish Red. A pretty good beer to kickback and throw down on a hot summer day.
When I finished I saw that I give it 5 out of 5 'good' so I guess that's pretty 'good'.

Another timely review, just after St Patty's Day.
Nice red-orange color with a decent head on it. Aroma was mostly malty with a slight hint of skunkiness. That didn't show through in the taste though. This was a straightforward Irish Red. Again a mostly malty flavor with just a bit of light hop bitterness to dry out the finish. It's not going to knock your socks off, but it's better than drinking green beer. For that matter, it's definitely worthy of a second glass. It paired fairly well with both corned beef with colcannon and steak with sweet potatoes.

A classic looking Red Ale, deep, firey amber color with a slightly off-white head, decent lacing and moderate retention. Plenty of livliness as well.
A sweet, bready malt scent dominates with earthy, grassy hops in the backdrop.
This ia very clean, livley feel with a medium sweet malt flavor, with minor notes of smokiness and sweet-doughy fresh bread. The hops are a bit mossy but finishes semi-dry and leafy in the aftertaste.
This is a great choice for a BBQ in the back yard with friends during early fall.

Poured a deep ruby color with a nice head that quickly disappeared.. Noticed some good lacing...
Smelled bready.. Hints of caramel, slight malt roast, sugar, slight hop presence..
Taste was of sugar cane, caramel, apple, slight hop bitterness lingers.. Maybe some licorice in there?
Overall a decent brew.. Not too heavy not too light.. Easy drinking.. Nothing too special here but not bland..

2.63/5 rDev -25.9%
A - A big creamy tan head floats like a fluffy cloud above a deep amber brew that is very much the same tone as the label on the bottle. The head shows really excellent retention, and deposits tons of crusty lace on the glass. The head forms mashed-potato lumps in the middle as it SLOWLY drops to a whipped cream two fingers and stays there. A damn fine looking brew!
S - Caramel and toffee with a hint of sweet orange candy (orange gummy bears). Brown sugar drizzled with maple syrup. If this were only a bit more assertive, it would be outstanding but it seems a bit subdued.
T - Stale fruit cake, brown sugar, and mushy brown bananas. This is well hopped for a red ale, and the dry hay-like herbal hops keep the brown sugar and caramel in check. There are some sour notes that I really don't like, and this is really not doing it for me.
M - Taught, firm, and extremely dry on the hoppy finish. This is light bodied and moderately carbonated with a really tight feel overall.
D - Not terrible, but not very good either. I really can't find any faults other than a vague sour flavor, but I really just don't like this beer all that much.

Purchased Winter 12/13 and tasting with about one year's worth of aging.
(4.25) A: Pours thick with a relatively thin mocha coloured head that quickly forms a ring with an island of bubbles in the middle. Although thin, the head has good retention and solid patches of lacing are clearly evident.
(4.5) S: Bitter dark chocolate, espresso bean, sweet caramel, dark fruits, vanilla, and gingerbread. The bourbon is quite subtle and really blends well with the intense dark chocolate aroma. This encompasses all the hearty and rich aromas that I enjoy in this style.
(4.5) T: As per the aroma (thankfully) with bitter dark chocolate and oaky bourbon upfront. Vanilla, espresso, caramel, anise, and subtle dark fruits round this out very well. The alcohol is superbly hidden with the bourbon providing a more oaky-cherry taste. This reminds me of an affogato (espresso poured over gelato) in flavour but also in terms of balancing the sweet with the bitter.
(4.5) M: Full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Sticky and viscous with a slight gritty texture. Not overly syrupy which I find can be quite prevalent in this style.
(4.5) D: This is probably one of the best bourbon RIS I've had yet. The bourbon for me extolled wonderful wood and cherry flavours without being overly boozy. Very happy to have found this last bottle on the shelf (it was meant to be!) and will be keeping my eyes out for the next release.

Bottle: Poured a deep black color stout with a large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of roasted malt with medium bourbon notes and light vanilla notes. Taste is also dominated by dry roasted malt notes which are somewhat offset by large black chocolate notes with some medium bourbon notes with light vanilla notes also perceptible. Body is full with oily texture and good carbonation with no real apparent alcohol notes. Interesting beer with good balanced thought is missing a little something to keep up with some of its cousins.

Fresh bottle poured in to Great Lakes tulip.
A - Deep inky black with one finger of medium brown head.
S - A big oak aroma up front with some lighter bourbon notes coming through. Roast, semi-sweet chocolate and some sweet molasses.
T - A big oaky character dominates with lighter bourbon notes coming through from the barrel. Some chocolate, roast and the slightest hint of vanilla. A noticeable alcohol presence is warming throughout.
M - Medium, almost full bodies. Somewhat thick at times. Light carbonation.

A: Black with a tan head, thin ring of retention leaves some nice lace.
S: Considering the strength, the nose is rather subtle, but it is nice... molasses, black licorice with hints of espresso and bourbon.
T: The bourbon is very complimentary. Bakers chocolate, espresso, molasses, black licorice, roasted nut and oak. Solid bitterness, nice alcohol warmth.
M: Fairly full body is smooth with a light roasted acidity and drying alcohol finish. Perfect for the style.
O: Not at all brash, so it won't knock your socks off like some. It's a really big brew for sure, but the flavours are incredibly well integrated and it's an absolute pleasure to drink. It's not easy to achieve this balance. Very well-crafted, world-class brew. Hell of a way to celebrate an anniversary!

Beer is pitch black with a small tan head that fades quickly.
Smell contains bourbon, a bunch of vanilla, some oak.
Like the nose, the flavour contains plenty of the barrel. Oak, vanilla, bourbon. A bit hot. Some coffee and a bit of chocolate underneath it. Quite sweet.
Full bodied, moderately carbonated, the sweetness dries the mouth, a bit sticky.
Overall, not bad, but the barrel is too strong and the beer is a bit one-dimensional. I would like to get more of the base beer. Perhaps it will improve with time but given the quality of GLB's Stalin's Choice, I am a bit disappointed.

750ml bottle poured into tulip 29/6/13, big thanks to liamt07 for sending the bottle
A looks black right out of the bottle but has a deep cola edge when tilted, short lived finger of mocha foam burns out in seconds and leaves no lace
S woody bourbon with faint smoke, vanilla, char, booze, more smouldering wood and some bakers chocolate, licorice and more bourbon barrel
T slightly more booze then the nose with even more char, boozy fudge and some dark roasted coffee I didn't smell, rich and boozy with intense dark roast
M not as thick as the color would imply but far from thin, a little heat and very sticky with loads of char and burnt barrel on the finish
O I'd guess this spent more then 3 months in the barrel because there's an intense charred bourbon barrel aspect that's hard to miss, smells and tastes solid and I suppose that's what matters most
If I had another I'd age it for a while, big barrel presence and I'd believe it spent a year aging on wood if was told such, something I'd like more of but I'd sit on it for some time

Red waxed bottle. The last of the 25th Anniversary bottles.
Poured into GLB tulip.
Totally opaque black pour with hints of red and brown swirling around. Half finger dark brown head. Slightly creamy looking. Lacing is minimal.
Dark chocolate and some cocoa powder. Slight Nesquik with some medium roast coffee. Molasses, vanilla, brown sugar, with some oak in the back end. A little light on the bourbon.
Dark chocolate and coffee up front making way for smooth bourbon and a light wood dryness. Molasses and some vanilla. A peak of alcohol comes through in the back end.
Medium to full body, slightly creamy
I think this is a good was to finish a year of celebration. The price tag was a little higher than the other releases but understandable and worth the extra couple dollars.

Got a bottle of this from pensteen and hopsolutely. Thanks a lot for this one guys. Really glad to try this one.
From a 750ml wax topped bottle into a snifter
3 months in Kentucky bourbon barrels
APPEARANCE: Pours out black and yields a small, medium looking, mocha colored head with decent retention. Head recedes to a faint wisp and ring. Jet black body with no real carbonation evident. A light swirly wisp and ring remain with some falling dots of lace down the glass. Really black body for sure. Good looking.
SMELL: Big nose of bourbon, oak, vanilla, some nice roasted espresso, and dark baker's chocolate. A bed of alcohol under all the fun as well. Excellent mix of roasted and chocolate fudge from the base beer, and then the sweet bourbon barrel aromas from the ageing process.
TASTE: Roasted flavors, burnt coffee beans, sweet caramel and bourbon up front, into a burnt and roasted, dark baker's chocolate finish. Bourbon and oak show up at the swallow as well. Excellent balance here. Big and lingering finish of bourbon, vanilla, sweet caramel, roasted, burnt coffee and bitter chocolate. Both base beer and barrel are great and work very well together. Wonderful.
PALATE: Medium body and medium levels of carbonation. Creamy on the palate, enough weight for sure, goes down smooth and finishes mouth-coating. A touch of heat lingers after the swallow, but well measured.
OVERALL: I'd love to try the base beer for this as well. Superb balance, and both the base beer and barrel aging are able to shine here. This one got a lot of praise from local fans, and that praise is more than deserved. Exceeded expectations, and as long as earlier reviewers are drinking the same beer I am, I feel they have been too harsh. This is excellent, and actually reminds me of Cycle Brewing RareR DOS. Highly recommended. Thanks again guys.

This 25th anniversary bourbon barrel-aged Russian Imperial Stout is black and inky as a 25 year Modena balsamic vinegar, both having been shuttered in wooden barrels (albeit the former for only 3 months). Still, this opaque beer looks like it's never seen the light. Even its head is the colour of a particularly healthy top soil, dark and thick as wet mud.
No wonder this wasn't made available in the United States - it smells enough like a fine Cuban Montecristo to be confiscated at the border. There's a perfect amount of cigar-like spice (cinnamon, nutmeg) as well as a tangy wood note and vanilla courtesy of the bourbon barrels.
Each sip fills the mouth with splinters of wood; light a match and you could start a fire. The barrel is more appreciated than the bourbon. The flavour indeed contains large elements of oak including, most noticeably, a rich vanilla presence as well as coconut, roasted coffee bean and sweet cedar notes. The malts impart a touch of semi-sweet dark chocolate flavour too.
The brewery gauged that this would keep for 3 years - a rather conservative estimate given it's black as tar, 11% alcohol and aged in 80 proof barrels. This review comes a little over a year since its release and seems a little mellower, a little more approachable. It's probably got the strength to hold up another 20+ months but it'd be a pointless risk. My guess is it's peeked now.
Great Lakes 25th Anniversary Bourbon Barrel-Aged Russian Imperial Stout is a balanced offering that layers the palate with copious amounts of complex flavors including vanilla, coconut, chocolate, coffee, toasted nuts, and a sweet hint of raisin on the finish. What more can it offer? I can't think a better beer to release to celebrate an anniversary.

750ml bottle poured into a goblet. ABV 11%.
At almost $15 this is the most I've ever paid for a single bottle of beer at the LCBO.
A - Poured a near black with a 1cm brown head. Head reduced to a thin ring of bubbles. Minimal lacing.
S - Vanilla, oak, dark chocolate, some dark fruit, a bit of whiskey in the background.
T - Brown sugar, molasses, some dark chocolate, vanilla, some booze, oak & bitter hops in the finish. As it warms the wood notes become more prominent in the finish.
M - Medium carbonation, medium-heavy body, thick, syrupy, minimal heat, dry finish.
O - A pretty good RIS overall.

Jet black, ring of reddish-tan head, some lace here as well. Smell is just wonderful, chocolate and bourbon, fudge brownie like, vanilla, light coffee and oak, well roasted but not chared or burnt, more fudgey-chocolate. Taste is not quite as nice as the nose, roasty with chocolate and coffee, vanilla and oak are fairly present but the overall bourbon is light, more chocolate-vanilla flavours with a medium bitterness, aftertaste of vanilla. Lightly carbonated, medium-full body. Solid stuff here, great way to end the anniversary series, something I'm glad I have a few more of.

For the Public Good: Public Accountability in NYC
A panel with Elizabeth Blackmar, Aaron Pallas, and J. Phillip Thompson
Thursday, 11/7, 2013 at 7 PM
Julius S. Held Auditorium, 304 Barnard Hall
New York City is currently considering selling schools, libraries, parks, and low-income housing to private corporations. Public funds paid not only for these buildings and spaces, but also for the services that are provided in them. Many feel that city officials have shown little accountability to public interests in the making of these decisions. What happens when public goods are not managed in transparent ways? What happens to democratic accountability when public goods come under private management? How does access to these resources serve the public good? Elizabeth Blackmar, professor of social and urban history at Columbia University; Aaron Pallas, professor of sociology and education at Teachers College; and J. Phillip Thomson, professor of political science and urban planning at MIT, tackle these questions in this provocative look at the consequences of privitization.

Here is a state used by an imperial power to impose its order in a region. In every sphere, with every dollar of military aid it receives from the US, the Colombian state is heading down this route. And it's in this sense that researchers from Venezuela and the Colombian member of Congress Gustavo Petro have warned of the arrival of an Israel in South America.
Colombia's interior minister inveighs against Chavez and Lula. Chavez responds. Next, Uribe demands that Chavez expel the guerrillas that the Colombian army claims are in Venezuela, and that Chavez stop alleged 'cross-border terrorism' from Venezuela. Within hours of this statement, a bomb explodes in front of the Colombian consulate in Caracas, conveniently timed to provide veracity to Uribe's claim. We have the South American Israel, taking shape.
The analogy can go further. Colombia looks much more like today's Israel, complete with possession of Occupied Palestine, now that the Colombian state has been able to create an interminable conflict with a growing displaced population.
Two million were displaced between 1946 and 1958 in the civil conflict called La Violencia, in which 200,000 were killed. In the past 20 years 2.5 million have been displaced. A population the size of Occupied Palestine's is internally displaced in Colombia. It is a minority of the population, but it is a big minority.
From a great mass of people who has suffered violence for decades, and continues to suffer, come armed groups with a psychology and practice that perpetuates conflict: A conflict with its roots, its very existence, in a state that refuses to recognize and and refuses to solve problems. The state instead chooses to take advantage of the ferocity of the guerrilla enemy, ferocity generated by the very behaviour of the state, to maintain the ferocity of state and parastate violence.
It is a vicious circle that is carefully incubated, grown, nurtured, and reproduced. The massacres conducted against the Liberals in the 1950s created the guerrilla groups that frequently committed their own massacres against conservative, and sometimes indigenous campesinos (like the massacre of tiniguas in Guayabero). The state was then able to prosecute its war against the 'bandoleros' and besides, have at its disposition many conservatives who were seeking revenge because they were victims of the victims of the conservatives.
History repeats itself generously in today's violence. Once again there are victims and victims of the victims and of the mourners of the victims in a growing spiral. The guerrillas recruit hundreds of youths with each paramilitary massacre. A zone is reported 'cleared' by the paras, but in reality the guerrilla army is growing.
The actions of the guerrillas generate new vigilantes of the state and the parastate whose chiefs are children of parents killed by guerrillas. The two groups are set: the 'Palestinians' and the 'Israelis'. Like in Israel/Palestine the majority of the Palestinians and Israelis do not exercise terror, but those who do use it find enough support to keep going year after year.
The state terrorism of Colombia, like that of Israel, is legitimized in terms of a fight against terrorism, and one terror feeds the other. Today there are not only rural massacres, but also aerial bombardments that don't just target guerrillas but kill civilians (as in Gaza or the West Bank), as they did in the well known case of Santo Domingo (Arauca) and in the less well known cases in the old demilitarized zone or in Planadas (Tolima), Cacarica, and right now in El Carmen (Norte de Santander). On the other side there aren't just kidnappings and attacks, but atrocious bombings that, like in Israel, also kill civilians.
The authors of the house and car bombings in Colombia are not Muslims like the young suicide bombers of Palestine. They do not, therefore, go to heaven with the bombs that kill them, but their psychology and their motivation are similar. Just as similar as the psychology and motivation of an Uribe and a Sharon.
The continuing displacement of the Palestinians in the news today have their parallel in the 200-300,000 campesinos, indigenous, and afro-Colombians who are displaced each year in Colombia, to whom the endless nature of the armed conflict has torn them from their land.
The same perverse international dynamics sustain the conflict, making Colombia the Israel of the region, a country the US uses to control Venezuela and its oil (as senator Coverdell announced 3 years ago), a country used to control Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, to impose the FTAA and/or the bilateral trade agreements all over the continent.
Uribe dreams of treating Chavez like a Saddam and Lula like a Sadat. But here the analogy fails completely and the strategy of Coverdell and Uribe is shown to be very fragile.
Because the fragile South American Israel has 68% of its population in poverty, is stuck in an economic crisis that it is only very slowly recovering from at the price of multiplying its growing public debt and risking a fiscal crisis. It has heavy, growing war taxes.
Its neoliberal economic team could compete with Argentina's Cavallo for both past disgrace and present glories. Its future depends on the willingness of Washington to assume the economic costs of this Israel before it crashes like any old Argentina or Indonesia. Uribe is betting that Washington will sustain him whatever the cost-him and the corrupt caste of leaders of the traditional parties and speculative latifundistas. By doing so, Uribe has made Colombia a danger to the whole world.

North Miami Beach (commonly referred to as NMB) is a Miami suburban city in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. Originally named Fulford in 1926 after Captain William H. Fulford of the United States Coast Guard, the city was incorporated in 1927 as Fulford, but was renamed North Miami Beach in 1931. The population was 40,786 at the 2000 census. As of 2007, the population recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau is 38,201.
South Beach
South Beach, also nicknamed SoBe, is a neighborhood in the city of Miami Beach, Florida, located due east of Miami city between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic Ocean and approximately 12 miles from our Resort. The area encompasses all of the barrier islands of Miami Beach south of Indian Creek.
This area was the first section of Miami Beach to be developed, starting in the 1910s, thanks to the development efforts of Carl G. Fisher, the Lummus Brothers, and John S. Collins, the latter whose construction of the CollinsBridge provided the first vital land link between mainland Miami and the beaches.
The area has gone through numerous artificial and natural changes over the years, including a booming regional economy, increased tourism, and the 1926 hurricane, which destroyed much of the area. As of 2010, about 39,186 residents live in South Beach.
Marlins Park is a baseball park located in Miami, Florida at approximately 18 miles from our hotel. It is the current home of the Miami Marlins, the city's Major League Baseball franchise.

The stadium is designed in a neomodern form of baseball architecture. The contemporary ballpark is the first fully, non-retro ballpark constructed in MLB since Oriole Park at Camden Yards began baseball's postmodern trend in 1992. Marlins Park was also LEED certified as the greenest MLB Park in 2012. The building is the sixth MLB stadium to have a retractable roof. With a seating capacity of 37,442, it is the third-smallest stadium in Major League Baseball by official capacity, and the smallest by actual capacity.
Despite consensus among sports fans that Miami needs this type of venue for professional baseball, Marlins Park has been a source of controversy in South Florida ever since it was proposed.
The facility hosted a second-round pool of the 2013 World Baseball Classic. The park also hosts soccer matches during the winter.
American Airlines Arena
The American Airlines Arena is a sports and entertainment arena located in Downtown Miami, Florida along Biscayne Bay.

The American Airlines Arena has 2,105 club seats, 80 luxury suites, and 76 private boxes. The Waterfront Theater is Florida's largest theater which is housed within the arena that can seat between 3,000 and 5,800.

Editor's note: The following is a press release from the Norfolk District Attorney's office.
National and local experts on school safety issues – ranging from violent intruder defense strategies and protecting schools from explosives to the more subtle violence of bullying in cyberspace and in middle school – came together with more than 150 local educators and police at District Attorney Michael W. Morrissey's 2012 School Security Summit this week.
The seven from Norwood who attended came away with news that the town is receiving a School Security grant from DA Morrissey: $2,000 to purchase hand-held two-way radios and to develop a frequency for the schools to use in emergency communication. Grants to 21 school systems were funded from assets seized from drug dealers by law enforcement and forfeited during court proceedings.
"We are doing all we can to make Norfolk County's schools as safe as possible and we appreciate Norwood's strong partnership," District Attorney Morrissey said after the Summit, attended by police officers Paul Murphy and Jamie Mahoney, high school deans Andy Garczynski and Sean Powers, and Principal Matt Ehrenworth, Housemaster Brian Meringer and Ann Mitchell from the Coakley Middle School.
"Tragic, deadly events in other areas of the country have taught law enforcement and school officials valuable lessons on what works and what does not to keep students safe," District Attorney Morrissey said. "We were able to use monies confiscated from and forfeited by drug dealers to bring in experts from as far away as Texas to talk about the very real threats students face, and hopefully provide local officials with additional tools to avoid those problems."
Greg Crane from Response Options in Burleson Texas presented on best practices on violent intruders; Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Senior Special Agent Jessica Gotthold from New Jersey spoke about protecting schools from those threats; attorneys Matthew MacAvoy and Michael Joyce from Marshfield provided guidance on information sharing among school districts and law enforcement. A trio from Deana's Educational Theater in Wakefield previewed "Girl Chat," a play they perform at schools across the region to explore, and help mitigate, middle school bullying and violence.
"We also took the opportunity to announce the new bullying and cyber-bullying resources that we have developed with the Norfolk Advocates for Children, which school departments can access at no cost," Morrissey said. "It is our hope that every school in every one of our towns is a little bit safer today because so many schools and police joined us in this effort, and came away with additional resources."

Texas Department of Public Safety as well as fire fighters from Lindale and Mineola responded to a car wreck on Highway 69 near County Road 431 just south of the Sabine River bridge. After officers arrived on the scene, they arrested 29-year-old Sergio Navarez of Mineola for DWI.
According to KMOO-Radio, a red Nissan Altima was in the grassy median facing southbound when the driver quickly pulled out of the median and struck a gray Nissan SUV. The vehicles went across both lanes and off the highway.
Navarez underwent a sobriety test on the scene and officials believe he had narcotics in his system.
There were no serious injuries. Although East Texas Medical Center paramedics responded to the scene, no one was transported.

Chesterfield County's public water utility wants two of the area's largest employers to pay $450 million dollars to help the utility pay for filtering system Alligator Rural Water and Sewer installed after chemical contamination showed up in the utility's water supply in 2005.
Alligator Rural Water and Sewer filed a $450 million lawsuit last month in Chesterfield County against McLeod Farms and Mar Mac Wire after the utility said it found evidence to show both entities were the source of the pollution around McBee. The suit alleges McLeod Farms and Mar Mac Wire are responsible for three chemicals that have shown up in the private water supply around the town of McBee.
State health regulators threatened to fine and shut down Alligator Water utility's wells over the past few years after finding two potentially cancer-causing chemicals in utility's water supply. DHEC found the chemicals during routine inspections between January 2005 and December 2008. Alligator Water started investigating the source of the contamination and called in the U.S. Geological Survey and hired an attorney.
"They got above the levels that DHEC allows and so, we had to start paying for filtering out those chemicals," Alligator Water attorney Billy Spencer said. DHEC forced Alligator Water to install carbon filters on several of its wells around the county. The filtering systems cost the utility company more than $15 million. The costs of the systems have been passed on to water customers and have caused Alligator Water customer's water bills to rise by 50 percent in the past couple of years.
"We've had to borrow money from the USDA to put some of these projects in that were designed to filter these chemicals out and at a great cost. So, we have to pay those loans back," Spencer said.
The utility company's also borrowed around $700,000 to have the USGS open an investigation in Chesterfield County. The federal agency is working to figure out how long the chemicals have been in the water supply, where the contamination's coming from and to develop an estimation of how long it may take the chemicals to leave the aquifer.
DHEC spokesman Mark Plowden said the USGS would be responsible for tracking down the contamination's sources and the people responsible for it. However, USGS hydrologist Bruce Campbell who is heading the Chesterfield County project told WIS that DHEC was the "regulatory agency" and would be responsible for any enforcement efforts dealing with the source of the contamination.
A 2007 DHEC well investigation map shows the highest contamination levels in the heart of McLeod Farms; one of the state's largest peach farms. The farm uses some of the wells identified on the map to irrigate the peach trees and farm produce that McLeod farms and sells to the public.
Of the farm's 18 wells, DHEC found 12 with traces or excessive chemical contamination, according to the 2007 DHEC map. The lawsuit accuses McLeod Farms of poisoning the Chesterfield County water supply, but the lawsuit does not give details as to exactly how and when.
After multiple attempts to reach McLeod Farm's president Kemp McLeod during our investigation, we went to McLeod Farms to speak with him. McLeod drove up to our camera, which was set up on the public right-of-way outside his farm's Highway 1 headquarters, "I want to talk to you about this lawsuit involving you and Alligator," Barr said. "I have no comment," McLeod replied, "My lawyer says I have no comment."
A DHEC aerial map shows a possible dump site on the McLeod Farm. It's located right behind the farm's migrant camp near the Highway 145 and Old Wire Road intersection. The map has a spot marked "dump site (?)" and is located yards away from the most contaminated drinking well that DHEC tested, according to the map obtained by WIS.
DHEC's 2007 map shows the migrant camp well's contamination was nearly 200-times higher than the Environmental Protection Agency's limit for contaminants. A follow up test last year showed the contamination doubled--to 400 times above the EPA limit.
It's the same story around Mcleod Farm's roadside stand on Highway 151. DHEC's records show the agency tested three wells in the produce fields here; all three, according to the map came back with elevated levels of chemical contamination, according to the 2007 map.
The lawsuit also accuses Mar Mac Wire of polluting the water supply with some of the chemicals uncovered in the DHEC and the USGS investigation, but the lawsuit does not detail the allegations against the wire manufacturer. While shooting video outside the plant last week Mar Mac Wire president Andy Johnson walked out to talk with us. Johnson offered no explanation on the lawsuit, "I don't think we're going to be able to help you," Johnson said, "We'd really like for you to leave and not be filming," the president said. A call to the wire plant's chief executive officer John Martin, III yielded a "No comment."
SC Environmental Law Project Director Amy Armstrong said the chemical contamination is more serious than DHEC led people to believe in its 2008 public hearing, "It's a concern because we have limits for a reason and when they exceed limits, then that is the red flag that hey, we need to look at this," Armstrong said.
Armstrong's Georgetown law firm's won dozens of pollution cases against accused polluters across the state. She said the levels showing up in public and private wells around McBee pose a threat to anyone using well water and have for some time, "From the evidence, it's been about 30 years that they've been in the environment and they still are there today. They're persistent, they don't just go away and that's a cause for concern.
The $450 million suit would go toward paying off federal loans Alligator Water used for the upgrades the water company had to make by installing the filters and constructing a two-million gallon holding tank at its Highway 151 location, according to the utility's attorney.
The USGS is in Chesterfield County working to figure out where the contamination entered the ground water, how long it's been there and how long it could take to push it out. The USGS plans to finish its report sometime in 2013. USGS records show it could take hundreds of years for the contaminants to leave the Chesterfield County aquifer.

3.5/5 rDev -10.7%
I'm not going to drone on about floral characteristics, lacing, wonder-inducing appearance, etc. This is a solid IPA. Information from the Pinthouse Pizza website: "Why Fallen Cask? Well as the story goes: Once upon a time, long ago in England, when they were colonizing India, they would send beer along with the normal rations. To survive the long journey they brewed beers with a higher ABV and more hops (a natural preservative). These beers eventually mellowed out by the end of the long journey and likely tasted similar to the Pale Ales being served in the British pubs back home.
The story goes on to say, one day during heavy seas a cask filled with Pale Ale bound for India fell off the boat. Dockworkers, upon seeing the floating cask, set out to retrieve the fallen cask from rough harbor waters. After the cask's retrieval and tapping, it become obvious that the workers loved the taste of the higher ABV and higher bitterness that the fresh Pale Ale bound for India offered. The dockworkers demanded brewers make this "new" beer for the local pubs. From that one fallen cask in an English harbor the IPA as we know it was born! In honor of that event, our Fallen Cask series is an ever changing, constantly evolving expression of the IPA, which we have come to love."

Moose Lottery Coming Soon
The moose lottery in Ontario is coming up soon. The applications have to in by May. It's usually May 15th, but that date has changed a little in the last year or so to Mat 31st I think mostly because of problems with the MNR's automated system I believe.
We had a bull tag last year in our group so we have one less Pool 1 application and one of my son's friends who went with us last year didn't buy a moose license until after the lottery, so he's in Pool 2 as well. So our group tally will be 4 x Pool 1 and 2 x Pool 2 applications.
Chances of an Archery Bull tag are slim at best, but the past two years they've increased the cow tags in my WMU (Wildlife Management Unit), allowing some 2nd Choice applications to draw a cow tag. Pretty hard to get a cow with the bow as they're harder to call, unlike the bulls at that time of year. To hunt cows you pretty much have to look for well used trails at feeding sites, set up stands and just wait.
