Dr. Walid Phares
North Carolina: Meet Taqiyya Jihad.
July 31, 2009
With shock and malaise, Americans are discovering that their country is
penetrated by jihadi terrorists, particularly those we call "homegrown."
Over the past few months, several alarming cases have been revealed by
law enforcement. Not only the frequency of these revelations but also
the type of jihadi cells are teaching the public that something very
troubling is happening within the homeland: the surge of a threat
deserving a greater attention than the current attitude dispensed by the
The arrest of Daniel Patrick Boyd, a married 39-year-old, his two sons,
and four other "jihadis" in a rural area south of Raleigh, N.C., is not
a little matter in our global analysis of the movement within the United
States. "Saifullah," the jihadi name of Boyd; his two sons, Zakariya,
20, and Dylan, 22; Mohammed Omar Aly Hassan, 22; and Ziad Yaghi, 21, are
all U.S. citizens. Hysen Sherifi, 24, a Kosovo national, is a legal
According to government documents (we only read the published ones),
this was a group based in the U.S. training and readying to perform
"jihad" overseas, like a Virginia predecessor group arrested some eight
years ago and charged with using paintball training camps to "strike at
targets in the sub Indian continent." Based on this data alone the North
Carolina cell is a combatant group committed to "terror war." By
reviewing this data however and comparing it with the multiple cells
dismantled over several years, particularly over the past few months,
the matter is more serious.
Furthermore, even though the courts will struggle with defense
attorneys' expected tactics to portray the jihadists as enamored with a
"foreign cause," many in the counterterrorism community would not buy
this version. All the hallmarks indicate (based on the published
information) that the case is more ominous than thought to be by average
citizens. The legal proceedings will take their course and justice will
be served in court, but the bigger picture, the troubling questions
related to this country's national security must be addressed seriously
and fast, as we read into this case.
Age Analysis
"Saifullah" Boyd (the sword of Allah in Arabic) is 39. He is said to
have served with Hezb-e-Islami in Afghanistan and Pakistan between 1989
and 1992. This means that this American citizen switched to jihadi
ideology and committed to military action at least 12 years before 9/11.
It also means that he was still fighting with the jihadists three years
after the withdrawal of the Soviets from Afghanistan in February, 1989.
Who was he fighting against and for what goal?
The answer is that he has joined the "international cause" of jihadism
that is to perform strikes wherever the "cause" will take him against
the kuffars infidels, including on his native soil. He was 19 when he
was "recruited" to war activities. At the time of arrest, the members of
the cell were 20, 21, 22, 22, and 24. On 9/11, these jihadists were
between the age of 10 and 13. Who over the decade indoctrinated them,
recruited them, and trained them? Even more daring is to ask who is
indoctrinating children age 10 and above to jihadism within the United
States. It would be hard to believe that Boyd was the only jihadi
instructor in the country.
Stealth Analysis
"Saifullah" of North Carolina spent his 20s and 30s (or so we know) in
his rural home. His neighbors saw him walking the dog and never heard
him threatening anyone, per the media reports. By popular American
standards he would be a regular guy. But by jihadi doctrine he was
taqiyya. Combatants "in the path of Allah," as instructed by
ideologues to "fake" normalcy, and lie if needed, about their real
beliefs so that the deception of the enemy is full.
The question is how many other American "Saifullahs" are practicing
taqiyya and since when? Are the urban jihadists in numbers greater than
what we think or our defense and national security institutions thinks?
How many U.S.-born terror combatants have been able to perform perfect
taqiyya for 10 or 20 years until today? Does our government know what
this doctrine is all about and, more importantly, are authorities
educating the body of our defense apparatus regarding this stealthy
threat dormant among us?
Steps to Be Taken
In view of this benchmark discovery in the aftermath of a series of
jihadi arrests performed by law enforcement this year, all indicating
that a "jihadi system" is expanding inside the country I strongly
recommend the following steps:
▪ That the Department of Homeland Security quickly issues an assessment
of this growing urban jihadi web and forms a task force to study the
depth of the penetration on a national scale.
▪ That the president speaks on the issue of the arrest as a national
security breach and warns the public from possible other urban cells
growing and operating in America. President Barack Obama must not ignore
what is becoming a direct national security threat to the American
▪ Congress must reconvene a bipartisan national security commission,
similar to the 9/11 Commission, to propose appropriate measures and laws
to combat this lethal indoctrination of adults and children, most of
whom are American citizens.
This North Carolina taqiyya cell, and the last few cases of arrests this
year, raises a real red flag. We are now meeting the "army of jihad"
here at home, and it is growing. It must be addressed before it will be
too late.

MEXICO — A driver and her passenger were sent to the hospital after their vehicle collided with another early Thursday morning.
At about 7:24 a.m. Thursday, officers from the Indiana State Police and the Miami County Sheriff's Department responded to a two-vehicle crash near 2450 N. Eel River Cemetery Road in Miami County, according to a press release from the ISP.
The preliminary crash investigation by Indiana State Police Sergeant Rick Brown indicates that Tina McGee, 29, Peru, was driving a 1985 Chevrolet Blazer southbound on the northbound side of Eel River Cemetery Road. McGee and her passenger, husband Robin McGee, 26, Peru, were delivering newspapers. Cassie Brooks, 34, Peru, was driving a 2012 Dodge Charger northbound on Eel River Cemetery Road. The Dodge crested a hill and hit the Chevrolet head-on while that vehicle was on the wrong side of the road.
Tina McGee and Robin McGee were transported by ambulance to Dukes Memorial Hospital. Tina had a complaint of pain to her face and chest. Robin was later flown by Samaritan Helicopter to Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne with a chest injury.
Neither of the McGees was wearing a seat belt which Sergeant Brown believes would have prevented or reduced their injuries.
Neither Brooks nor her two passengers, children ages 6 and 3, were injured. They were all properly restrained with a seat belt or child safety seat. Sergeant Brown believes the safety restraints aided in the trio not being injured.
This is an ongoing investigation, but as of Thursday evening neither the use of alcohol nor narcotics is suspected as having contributed to the crash.
Sergeant Brown was assisted at the crash scene by Trooper Daniel Prus, Miami County Sheriff's Deputy Cassy Baily, Miami County Sheriff's Deputy Larry Cattin, the Mexico Fire Department and Dukes Hospital EMS.
NOTE: This is an updated version. An earlier version of this story misidentified Tina McGee's male passenger, Robin McGee.

Krugman on Social Security Circa 1996: 'The Ponzi Game Will Soon Be Over'
As NewsBusters reported Tuesday, liberal media outlets and their members have been talking about Social Security being a Ponzi scheme since at least 1967.
Add New York Times columnist Paul Krugman to the list of detractors as demonstrated by something he wrote for the December 1996/January 1997 issue of Boston Review:
Social Security is structured from the point of view of the recipients as if it were an ordinary retirement plan: what you get out depends on what you put in. So it does not look like a redistributionist scheme. In practice it has turned out to be strongly redistributionist, but only because of its Ponzi game aspect, in which each generation takes more out than it put in. Well, the Ponzi game will soon be over, thanks to changing demographics, so that the typical recipient henceforth will get only about as much as he or she put in (and today's young may well get less than they put in).
This was in stark contrast to what Krugman wrote at the Times in November 2007 partially in response to Chris Matthews and the late Tim Russert having the nerve to discuss the Ponziesque nature of Social Security on live television:
Consider, for example, this exchange about Social Security between Chris Matthews of MSNBC and Tim Russert of NBC, on a recent edition of Mr. Matthews's program "Hardball."
Mr. Russert: "Everyone knows Social Security, as it's constructed, is not going to be in the same place it's going to be for the next generation, Democrats, Republicans, liberals, conservatives."
Mr. Matthews: "It's a bad Ponzi scheme, at this point."
Mr. Russert: "Yes."
But the "everyone" who knows that Social Security is doomed doesn't include anyone who actually understands the numbers. In fact, the whole Beltway obsession with the fiscal burden of an aging population is misguided.
So in 1996/1997, Krugman was comfortable discussing Social Security as a "Ponzi game."
Ten years later, such talk made him feel a tad squeamish.
It seems the closer Social Security is to going bankrupt and therefore subject to meaningful reform the more uncomfortable he is discussing its shortcomings.
Far more importantly, it's for decades been acceptable for liberal media members to delve into the financial deficiencies of our nation's retirement plan.
It's only verboten when conservatives do it, especially if they're running for president.

Just remember that Samuelson was a Keynesian of the first order. And while I don't know this for certain, he must have been a very wealthy Keynesian indeed.
Sycophant economics instructors at colleges all around this great land made an entire generation of students buy Samuelson's famous textbook. 40 million copies sold . . . and of course Samuelson's true genius was not Keynesian analysis but to take out a few sentences here and add a few sentences there, send the text back to the publisher as a "new edition" . His legion of faculty followers would then require students to purchase the new edition. Sort of like requiring everyone to contribute to Social Security or purchase health insurance.

I doubt that it's the media can't find these facts. Indeed it is likely they know all about them. What they count on -- hope for -- is that it is the consumers (readers, viewers, etc.) of their product who can't find the facts (or are too lazy to look).
So they know those facts are out there; but reporting those facts does not play into the "demonize Republicans" meme that is their raison d'etre, so they don't.

The MSM and Left have gone ballistic on Perry for his analogy, but they themselves have admitted the truth for years.
The next time he debates and SS comes up, he ought to cite this quote from the Nobel Prize for Econimics winning Krugman as evidence that he's merely pointing out the truth. That ought shut the MSM up, but of course, his GOP rivals will ridicule his quoting of wing-ding Krugman. To that Perry can retort that he's merely reaching agreement with the other side.

I have to disagree about the characterization of the Ponzi label. It may not accurately describe what's really going on. My best description of Social Security would involve the kids' game of 'hot potato'. Whichever party is in power will defend the status quo and the one out will attack it. So, when the whole thing (eventually) comes crashing down, the party in power will take the blame. Until then, the game is to keep passing the 'potato'.

JB6 Highlights and Publications
- JB6 Mouse Model
The mouse Balb/C JB6 model (1) is the only well characterized model of genetic variants for a neoplastic transformation response to tumor promoters. These cells are not differentially sensitive to tumor promoter induced mitogenesis or differentiation (2), thus increasing the likelihood that molecular response differences will be transformation-relevant. These cells are also not differential at the level of tumor promoter receptors such as protein kinase C or epidermal growth factor receptor, thus indicating that these are post-receptor signaling variants (3). Moreover the JB6 response variants are stably free of spontaneous transformation (a property found to be mouse strain dependent) and stably responsive (P+) or nonresponsive (P-) to tumor promoter induced transformation. Thus molecular events that occur only in the P+ cells are candidates for mediating tumor promotion while those that occur only in the P- cells are candidate inhibitors. The JB6 model is not suitable for studying epidermal differentiation or keratin synthesis. The JB6 model is uniquely suited for studying tumor promotion and promotion-relevant molecular events. Research using the Balb/C mouse JB6 model of transformation response variants has yielded milestones that propelled research in several areas.

Nigeria advanced to the semifinals at the 2012 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament with an 80-79 win over Greece on Friday. Ike Diogu led the way with 17 points and 12 rebounds, setting up a bout with Russia for an Olympic bid.
After two quarters, Greece held a 12-point lead, 42-30. Vasileios Spanoulis scored 25 points to lead the Greeks. It was perhaps telling that the 6'4" guard led the team in rebounds (7), however. For the game, Nigeria held a 36-27 advantage on the boards, 16 of which came on the offensive glass.
For the game, Greece shot 57.1 percent from the field to 42.6 percent for Nigeria. Greece left a lot of points at the free throw line, however, going 17-for-28 for the game. Nigeria shot 18-for-20 from the stripe.
With the loss, a strong Greek team has been eliminated from the pool at the 2012 London Olympics. Nigeria can solidify their bid with a win over Russia. Lose, and they will play the loser of the other semifinal for the last of three spots to London.

Before the Storm
Hurricane Hazards
Hurricanes can combine storm surge, powerful winds, tornadoes and torrential rains into a devastating combination.
Storm Surge. Storm surge is an abnormal rise in sea level 50 to 100 miles wide that sweeps across the coast near where the "eye" of the hurricane makes landfall. The surge of high water, topped by waves, is devastating. Along the immediate coast, storm surge is the greatest threat to life and property. Most hurricane-related deaths are caused by drowning.
Winds. Hurricane force winds, 74 mph or more, can destroy buildings and mobile homes. Debris can become flying missiles in hurricanes. Winds often stay above hurricane strength well inland. If you do not have to evacuate, it is extremely important to secure your home and cover your windows before the storm. Remember, mobile homes are extremely vulnerable to high winds and should be evacuated.
Heavy Rains and Floods. Widespread torrential rains often in excess of 10 inches can accompany a hurricane and can produce destructive floods. This is a major threat to areas well inland.
Tornadoes. Hurricanes also produce tornadoes, which add to the hurricane's destructive power.
Hurricane Warnings and Advisories
Tropical Depression. A disturbance with a clearly defined low pressure area; high wind speed is 38 mph.
Tropical Storm: A distinct low pressure area defined by a counterclockwise rotating circulation with winds of 39 - 73 mph.
Hurricane. Once a tropical storm's constant wind and speed reaches 74 mph or greater, it is classified as a hurricane. In the western Pacific hurricanes are called typhoons. Similar storms in the Indian Ocean are called cyclones.
Tropical Storm Watch. An alert for a specific area that a tropical storm may pose a threat within 36 hours
Tropical Storm Warning. An alert that tropical storm conditions, including sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph are expected in specific areas within 24 hours.
Hurricane Watch. An alert for specific areas that hurricane conditions pose a threat to an area within 36 hours.
Hurricane Warning. An issued when hurricane conditions (winds of 74 miles per hour or greater, or dangerously high water and rough seas) are expected in 24 hours or less. All precautions should be completed immediately.
Evacuation Order. The most important instruction you will receive. Once issued, an evacuation order is mandatory.
Hurricane Categories and Evacuation Zones
Meteorologists classify hurricanes by categories of 1-5 using a
scale that measures the wind and speed of the storm.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A city watchdog says Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's plan to reduce the city's dependence on coal by the middle of the next decade will cost more than $600 million.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Fred Pickel, the ratepayer advocate at the Department of Water and Power, planned to urge officials to look for ways to lower the costs on Wednesday.
A spokesman at the DWP did not return the newspaper's requests for comment on Pickel's projections.
The DWP currently gets 40% of its energy from coal-fired plants in Utah and Arizona. Last month, the utility voted to use a natural gas plant in Utah instead.
Officials say another plan to sell off the DWP's stake in the Arizona plant will make the utility coal-free by 2025.

"Was very happy with the outcome of my personalized Christmas cards. The font for the last name letter could have been better, as the S in my last name looked small and somewhat lost in the large red square. Other than that its beautiful."
"We used it with "sailing" theme for our Christmas/New Year card. We had a picture of our family on a sailboat and after the "Joyful Tidings" caption, I added "and smooth sailing in 2013!" It is a very nice quality card and envelope and I loved the red and aqua colors. I edited our picture to change a few colors so that it tied together nicely - my husband happened to be wearing a red baseball cap and I changed the accents on my boys life vests to be red and aqua. We had many positive comments on our cards!"

Avalos: Should SFPD officers wear body mounted cameras?
The fatal shooting of Alejandro Nieto, a man who possessed a Taser that was mistaken for a firearm who was killed in Bernal Heights Park, produced a backlash of community anger toward the San Francisco Police Department. It was the first thing Sup. John Avalos mentioned when he called for a hearing on equipping officers with body-mounted video cameras at the April 8 Board of Supervisors meeting.
Avalos knew Nieto, and the incident struck close to home. He mentioned another recent incident of police violence at City College of San Francisco in which officers targeted student protesters; video footage from a bystander shows an officer releasing his nightstick, making a fist, and throwing a punch at someone already being restrained.
"These incidents show that there's a great deal of work we need to do … to build trust between members of the community and the police department," Avalos said. "These incidents involved people I knew and it almost makes me feel how widespread the problem can be."
Police body-mounted cameras have been tried in New York, Los Angeles, New Orleans and other places as a way to shore up police accountability and provide a record of officer interactions with targeted suspects, Avalos said, and there is support for the technology both among law enforcement communities and civil liberties watchdog organizations.
"Many police support these cameras because they can help protect police officers against false accusations," Avalos noted. "Watchdog groups support police body-mounted cameras because they can help reduce incidents of police misconduct. The [American Civil Liberties Union] supports the cameras because they allow the public to monitor the government, instead of the other way around."
Avalos' request called for a review of the feasibility of equipping police officers with body cams, taking concerns about cost and privacy into consideration, plus a cost-benefit analysis to show how the cost of the cameras would compare with potential savings from reductions in citizen complaints and use-of-force lawsuits.
SFPD spokesperson Sgt. Danielle Newman noted that the SFPD is already in contract negotiations for a pilot program that would equip 50 plainclothes sergeants with body-mounted cameras. The program would be funded through a federal grant, Newman said, and the department has not yet received the cameras or hashed out policies spelling out how long data would be stored, how often they would be used, or whether officers would be able to switch them on and off at will.
Newman said the pilot program grew out of allegations that undercover officers had stolen property and violated the civil rights of SRO residents during searches of their units, incidents that were initially brought to light by the San Francisco Public Defender and more recently became the subject of a federal indictment.
"When Chief Suhr took over, he was looking at ways to ensure that those things don't happen again," Newman explained. The department was under the leadership of former Police Chief George Gascon when the officers now facing charges were caught on film by SRO surveillance cameras.
Despite the planned pilot, Newman said Suhr was less certain about the idea of equipping 1,500 to 2,000 officers with body cameras, as Avalos' request is geared toward.
"The concern with the chief is that with San Francisco, we haven't been able to get crime cams put up," she said, let alone having all officers record all police contact with the public. "That's something that would need to be ironed out."
Newman added that there were cost and logistical concerns associated with storage of bulk data generated by the cameras.
Rachel Lederman, an attorney with the National Lawyers Guild who represented Occupy protester Scott Olsen in a police misconduct case that left Olsen with lasting brain injuries and resulted in a $4.5 million settlement, said she was skeptical of body cams as a "quick fix" for police violence.
Oakland police officers are equipped with personal digital recording devices, she noted, but in the incident the left Olsen permanently injured, "there were 11 police officers with less-lethal weapons who were supposed to have PDRDs on – but didn't."
Lederman said that based on her experience, the footage that is captured on body cams is kept under lock and key by police, and remains hidden to all but doggedly persistent criminal attorneys. In practice, "journalists and affected people can't get it without a lawyer," she said, because police departments tend to withhold the footage with the excuse that it pertains to ongoing investigations.
In order to serve as an effective tool for holding law enforcement accountable, Lederman said, body-cam videos "have to be produced under the Public Records Act."
Lederman added that the video quality tends to be low, officers can turn them on and off at will, and "they try to use them as evidence against people they are arresting."
Still, a study in Rialto, California that was undertaken by a group of Cambridge University researchers determined that police use-of-force and complaints against police officers declined dramatically after officers were outfitted with the recording devices.
"The findings suggest more than a 50 percent reduction in the total number of incidents of use-of-force compared to control-conditions, and nearly ten times more citizens' complaints in the 12-months prior to the experiment," the authors concluded.
Lederman believes those findings are somewhat misleading, however. "Rialto has 66 police officers," she pointed out. "It's not really comparable to San Francisco or Oakland."
other than the correct police response to an armed threat.
I support cameras for cops if they support the use, which many do apparently. and if they have a means to switch them off.
I also want to see more CCTV in public places as a quid pro quo. Avalos should not object if his intentions are to reduce crime
He won't be able to resist
Oops... too late. They couldn't resist, could they.
as anything? Sounds prescient to me.
Not pro-cop or anti-cop. Just pro-truth. Let's not forget, the public defender WINS 62% of cases in San Francisco. Juries in San Francisco are skeptical when cops get on the witness stand. If cops are arguing that truth is really on their side, then they should win more. If that's really the case, video evidence should help them. It would do a lot to clean up their reputation for lying on the stand, if they feel the reputation is not deserved.
The only thing, as others have said, is that we need to implement any such legislation in an evenhanded manner. Both sides of a case should have equal access to the video, and neither side should be able to turn it on and off at will.
that they want them AND that they can be switched off for privacy reasons
The community is actually the primary stakeholder. They are employed to serve us, not the other way around.
and discretion to do their job. People are very tolerant of what cops sometimes do to get the bad guy - far more than they would tolerate from others.
So a fair compromise is that cops have cameras but it is their discretion when to use them just like it is when they use guns
A camera is not the same as a gun.
But the real point was that the discretion is the same quality either way. We give cops tools AND the discretion of when to use them.
You wouldn't want a video of a cop fucking an underage prostitute, as they often do, in exchange for not arresting them. Why, it would violate the child's rights. Privacy is very important.
then he switches off his camera, obviously.
Nobody is suggesting that the camera be rolling as the cop calls his wife, or takes a leak, or dusts off the Krispy Kreme from his uniform.
Only during interactions with the public.
Switch the camera on and off, which is all i was saying.
I thought you wanted them to have the ability to switch them on and off whenever they want. Sure, of course there are some situations where cameras would be inappropriate. As long as it's not just left to the discretion of the individual officer, and there are clear rules governing when those times are -rules decided with the input of the community and appropriate police oversight bodies -I'm fine with that.
The "community" doesn't get to micro-manage cops. We elect the guy who appoints the head of SFPD, and I see no reason to change that chain of command.
In a democracy, public servants must be accountable politically. Under separation of powers, that accountability is dispersed to include the Mayor, Supervisors and, yes, the voters. If the cops don't like that, then they can get jobs as security guards or go into the military.
community, so obviously the community cannot order the police to not police the community, nor ultimately how.
But who are you kidding. Those who want to micro-manage the cops are always those who have a vested interest in undermining and weakening the police because, for some weird reason, they identify and sympathize with criminals more than cops.
It would be fun to watch him supplicate himself before his SEIU masters.
Absolutely - we should put body mounted cameras on elected officials.
Elected officials and all "city officers," department heads, etc, as defined in the Charter.
Anyone who draws a public salary should wear an ankle bracelet and be recorded.
they have the power to KILL??? Hmmm.... ya think?
But as long as the cameras can be switched on and off, I see no problem if the cops want this.
S.F. Cops Have Killed 83 People Since 1980
By Chris Roberts Tue., Apr. 8 2014 at 3:25 PM
The SF Weekly
Complaints of San Francisco police misconduct are at a 21-year low. Knowing that, you'd think San Francisco constables are more popular than they've been since the alcalde days.
But it's hard to buy into that notion when it appears that public mistrust of San Francisco cops is soaring, especially as of late. Last month, an officer shot and killed 28-year-old Alejandro Nieto, who was armed with a Taser; an angry march on the Hall of Justice materialized where police cars were vandalized. More recently, cops have been receiving anonymous death threats.
Authorities are well-aware that the streets aren't friendly to police: When applying for $1 million in grant funding from the federal Justice Department to keep the Bayview safe, District Attorney George Gascon's Office cited a "longstanding, deep-seated, and pervasive mistrust" of law enforcement.
Perhaps this is one reason why: San Francisco police appear to be some of the most trigger-happy cops in the country. In 2011, citizens were killed by police in San Francisco at 10 times the rate of those in New York City, and at about twice Los Angeles's rate.
No federally maintained clearinghouse of officer-involved shooting data exists, but according to stats compiled by one crime blogger, San Francisco's six fatal shootings in 2011 equals New York City's total -- and NYC has 10 times the people.
Local blogger Michael Petrelis dug up the data from San Francisco police , revealing that 83 people have been fatally shot by San Francisco cops since 1980. Of those, 29 killed were black men and 28 were white men.
Police shot and killed six people in 2011, which was the bloodiest year since 1990 when seven were killed at the hands of police officers.
We compiled a total by race and gender over the 34-year period:
Black males, 29
White males, 28
Asian males, 13
"Other" males, 6
Hispanic males, 3
Black females, 2
White females, 2
The recent outpouring of anger of the Nieto shooting hasn't been seen in quite some time, possibly since the shooting death of 19-year old Kenneth Harding on Third Street in 2011.
Amid that anger is a lot of misinformation. The word, repeated at City College, is that Nieto was killed while holding a burrito, not a Taser. That such misinformation would be bandied about as fact may say something about the perception of police here.
Is it because police here are seen as overly zealous with their guns?
"S.F. Cops Have Killed 83 People Since 1980"
Or, to phrase it another way, less than three people a year.
Why, the SFPD is on a killing spree!
89 people in 34 years. That's less than 3 a year. Sometimes there will be more than that in a year, sometimes less. That would make 2011 seem like an outlier in terms of an average year.
The author brings up New York but omits the fact that the NYPD carry tasers while the SFPD doesn't. I can think off hand a couple of officer-involved shootings where tasers would probably have been deployed had they been equipped with them. But they aren't, so they have to use their firearms.
This article is also kind of funny in that it proves that the SFPD is not "gunning down Latinos because they're brown." Those statistics say you're much more likely to be shot if you're Asian or White.
we can watch them.
We all want cops to have the tools they need, but the fear is that the toys they ask for can be abused. Tasers in the wrong hands are basically torture devices.
I agree with the skeptical voices that cameras are not a panacea. But if it's done the right way (ie., the videos are accessible and cops can't turn them off at will), this would make an impact.
Also the recording time is quite short so a cop can over-write the recording by simply doing nothing
How about we take the 83 civilians killed and divide the by the, what, 4 cops killed over that time and evaluate that expression?
If criminals were dangerous, we wouldn't give cops guns.
We give them guns so that they can shoot bad guys. 83 is very low - just one very 4 months or so.
Jason Grant Garza here ... yes, Avalos ... what do these words mean? "Many police support these cameras because they can help protect police officers against false accusations," Avalos noted If you go to youtube and type in Jason Garza you will see close to 400 videos dealing with denial of medical care, SFPD, Sheriff, video cameras, etc. There you will find where even when I go to the police station I am told NOT to videotape. As a matter of fact here is a video tape where DPH produces a false restraining order against me that the Sheriff and SFPD are helpless and hopeless to help me or arrest the guilty department. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cP3jCmJFRo&list=TL-SRHQbVGUd4XjUmXqxoPo...
Now comes the question as to whether the police cameras will work, record and are available to public if the need arises. So far the cameras at Northern Station do NOT work and SFPD has NO POLICIES for its video cameras. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2ZRYHsKmxk&list=TLX1Gi-NXvkNtqnvNr_gcta...
Here also is a video of going to Avalos to set a meeting to show videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMOwHH4tDx8 ... I await and will continue ... keep watching the videos tell your friends and don't ever ever believe them ... verify, check the details, ask questions and hold accountable. Now for a REAL LAUGH look at the OCC videos I have then we can speak of another rigged and unaccountable methodology to provide illusion and no real solution ...
If you're concerned about getting access to cops' bodycams, why not wear a bodycam yourself? Whipping out a video camera escalates conflict and misses its initial steps, but wearing an always-on camera lets you easily document any public conflict. Leads to better behavior on the wearer's part, too.
What we *do* need are publicly-viewable bodycams of civil servants who are not on the street... need sunshine on backroom antics of Avalos, Yee, Lerner, other such characters.
want criminals to have any impediment to felonious behavior.
The cops did their job on Bernal Heights end of story if the public has a problem get over it may-be you would LOVE to meet the US Marshals,or National Guard they do not explain nothing put up or shut-up
are all investigated and policed by the Fed. No messing there.
Same with the death penalty. States take forever but a federal death penalty goes through like an express train.
Police violence has dropped by as much as 50% in cities where officers are required to wear cameras. Buy the cameras, make them wear them, and make not having your camera on a fireable offense and you will see incidents of police violence drop noticeably, instantly.
Body mounted cameras? DUMB IDEA!
How would everyone reading this like to have a camera mounted to your body in
order to hold you to perfection in your every move at work??
his hand so that the camera sees nothing and hears nothing
no problem with that.

New Masters Classic Acrylics were developed specifically to complement Old Holland's existing oil and watercolor ranges. Paints dry to a satin gloss and offer minimum brush drag, making them ideal for a variety of techniques.
Color Swatch created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and was applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
organic, aminoanthroquinone
1,4-diketo-3,6-di(4'-tertiary butyl phenyl)-2,5-dihydro pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole
This bluish red transparent pigment has high tinting strength. Diketo pyrrolo pyrrole pigments are noteworthy for their light stability, excellent weatherability, and outstanding heat stability.
Pyrrole Rubine has excellent permanence and lightfastness for an organic pigment in its color range.
Pyrrole pigments are considered to be non-toxic.
The Pyrrole group of synthetic organic pigments was developed in the 1980s. Pyrrole Rubine was first manufactured by Ciba Specialty Chemicals under the trade name Irgazine Ruby. Although not a perfect match for alizarin crimson, Pyrrole Rubine is one of several new pigments that has helped to close a traditional gap in the gamut of artist pigments, the lack of lightfast and transparent colors in the red/blue and red/violet parts of the spectrum.
Irgazine Ruby
organic, quinacridone
Quinacridone Magenta is a semi-transparent and powerful bluish red with an impressive mixing range. It makes an excellent glazing color and is one of the bluest of the Quinacridone colors. The pigment's properties vary considerably, depending on how it is ground. Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.
Quinacridone Magenta offers very good lightfastness in most media, but some have argued that it is less lightfast in watercolor form. Although Quinacridone Magenta received only a passing grade of "fair" under ASTM test protocols, other test results have rated the pigment very good to excellent. Transparent reddish violet pigments in general have more problems with lightfastness than any other range of colors. PR122 is often used as the Magenta of CMYK (four color) process printing because it offers a better tradeoff between tinting strength and lightfastness than other pigments in its class.
Quinacridone Magenta has no acute hazards. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinicridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
Quinacridone Magenta came from a red violet aniline dye that was first produced in 1858 by Natanson. It was called Magenta to commemorate a battle in Magenta, Italy. Over time, Magenta became the standard color name for a deep, violet red. Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late 19th century, methods of manufacturing so as to make them practical for use as commercial pigments did not begin until the 1950s. PR122 has become particularly popular in the formulation of Magenta for CMYK process printing.

College Readiness
The English and Science College Readiness Project is an ongoing collaborative effort involving K-12 and higher education stakeholders intended to:
- Define what students must know and be able to do to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing college coursework.
- Align requirements for college success with the learning outcomes emphasized in K-12 reform.
- Be relevant to today's technology-driven workplace, which increasingly requires students to have education beyond high school and higher-level skills.
The 2004 Master Plan for Higher Education in Washington called for defining college readiness in several core subjects, including math, science, English, social studies, and the arts. In 2005, the state funded an effort to define college readiness in English and science. Phase 1 (2006-07) produced preliminary English and science college readiness definitions.
In Phase 2 (2008-09), pilot teams of teachers integrated the definitions in lesson plans and curricula in high school classrooms. Phase 3 (2010-11) provided statewide professional development.
For more information about the English and science college readiness project is available here.
In 2004, the state provided funds for the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges to develop college readiness standards in mathematics. This is being accomplished through the Transition Math Project, a collaborative effort involving state educational stakeholders funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Irish Skater Of The Year 2010 Denis Lynn has been skating with Superdead Skateboards since 2011 and recently became part of the National Skateboard Company team. He is also a member of the Skate Flow team for Vans. In 2012 he scored his first cover for Sidewalk Skateboarding magazine, with a savage switch crook. He has continued his competition progress in 2013 with numerous solid performances. At the World Cup of Skateboarding finals at the Nass Festival at the Royal Bath and West Showground he finished in fourth place, and later in the year at Boardmasters in Cornwall he scored a fifth placed finish in the skate competition. Denis grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland and skated the streets of his hometown with his brother Conhuir, who has also gone on to become a sponsored skater. Although he says he loves Belfast ("I've skated round the whole place a thousand times"), he also says that he is keen to move on. "I'm keen to get out of Belfast anytime I can," he says, "because all I want to do is travel, meet new people, skate new spots and take in new cultures." It looks like Denis will get lots of opportunities for travelling in the near future. With the ability to pull off a series of smooth runs and stylish tricks, his competition performances will no doubt improve and his roles in the full length In Progress video and in 'The Big Push' for Vans will no doubt ensure he keeps moving upwards.

Are there any devices that currently support JSR 179? I've tried searching but can't find any so I'm guessing none? When are devices excpected to support the api?
Can someone list all other available location apis? I know Motorola has one for java. I'm eager to start development on an LBS app I have in mind and I don't think I can wait until the majority of devices begin to support JSR 179.

A: The beer is clear straw yellow in color and has a moderate amount of carbonation. It poured with a half finger high white head that died down but consistently left a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface, a collar around the edge of the glass and soe lacing down the sides.
S: Faint hints of bready malts are present in the smell along with some bits of grassy hops.
T: The taste is similar to the smell and has a light amount of bitterness.
M: It feels light-bodied (but not really watery) on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This isn't a bad German Pilsener from a Dutch macro brewery, especially since there are no aromas or favors of adjunct malts.

This beer was on special for $1.50 where I watched Lions game yesterday so decided to have one and thats all I could really handle.Pours a deeper yellow than most adjunct lagers with a thin white head that was gone in a blink of an eye,aroma was a little skunky with big doses of corn husk pretty much what I figured.Taste was watery and very bland with a little corn flavor.This brew is pretty bad it didnt even measure up to the Icehouse (the other beer special)so u know it has to be bad,I would take aHeineken over this next time I wont care about the specials it will be Carolina Blond all day.

Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a pilsner glass.
A: Crystal clear and pale straw yellow. Foamy white head at the pour dissipates quickly to a thin ring. Good lacing.
S: Faint smell of citrus-like hops; lemony almost.
T: Very light flavors of pale malts balanced with light fruity hops. There's a hint of sweetness as well some wheat. Finish is relatively quick and clean.
M&D: Light, almost watery mouthfeel. Drinkability is pretty average with nothing that makes it bad, nor good for that matter.
Not a terrible brew but not something I would seek out again. Perhaps a notch above other American macros. Mediocre.

Poured a very light golden color, with a white frothy head that faded into a light glaze over the top of the glass that left a good lace all the way down. The taste was not at all what I expected. It had no hint of skunk like its other more famous Holland brew and was very fresh and drinkable. I would seek it out again but I have not seen it anywhere in my town outside of the Beers of the Season box that I got for my Birthday. Very good.

A- Very clear light gold in color with a big head that fades quickly leaving no lacing.
S- Light malt, not a lot here. Smells a lot like budweiser so I'm guessing there's some rice.
T- Again rice and sweet breakfast cereal are the main flavors and are pretty bland, but there is some noble hop character mixed in that sits especially well on the crisp finish. Also a bit of metallic and DMS flavors in the mix.
M- A bit thicker and less bubbly than typical American macro, just right for the style.
O- This isn't a special beer in any way but it is certainly drinkable.

Presentation: 12 oz stubby green bottle. No freshness date.
Appearance: Strawish golden colour with a great clarity and fluffy white lace that stays for a while.
Smell: Sweet lemony, honey and hay like aroma from a mix of sweet aromas, no skunkiness here.
Taste: Rich crispness, moderate body. Sweet grassy grainy flavours with a mild sweetness. Malt flavours stay light and vibrant with endless grassy flavours that border on astringent. Hops go the same route with a balancing bitterness and riding the flavour profile for more down the road with herbal undertones. All in all a dry brew in the finish.
Notes: A semi-clean Euro lager, better than the usual mass-marketed import and at less than $5 a six pack it is a steal!

Pours a golden color. Little head which leaves quickly. Smell is floral. Taste is full bodoed for green bottles, lightly malty with nice carbonation. Very refreshing, as a Pilsner should be. Floral accents in the taste. Hops present, but the malt is where the action is. This is a decent pilsner.

Yet another questionable offering in my beers of the world 12-pack.
Straw-colored in appearance with a thin layer of off-white head that makes a decent attempt to lace the glass. Aromas are sweet, malty, with a hint of bitterness. And an overshadowing skunked facet. Flavor is also on the sweet side. Very clean, crisp and short-lived. Nothing too hefty or thought-provoking. Finishes again with the sweetness. Thin and low-bodied. Not drinkable.

Lacy long lasting head. Looks clear and golden.
Sweet grain and an almost skunky scent.
Taste is sweet initially in the mouth but turns bitter in the finish. Missing a nice even grain flavor.
Has a nice dry texture. Carbonation level seems good.
Too bitter to have more than one. Overall not a great beer.

A 500ml green glass bottle with a BB of Oct 2012. ABV is stated as 5%. Picked up cheap from Lidl.
Poured into a Sam Smith's pint glass. A clear light-golden colour with good carbonation. Forms a decent head of frothy white foam that dissipates swiftly. Aroma of light malt with a faint hint of stewed hops and overcooked veg. A background whisper of tart apples and solvent.
Tastes of light malt with a dry, mildly bitter finish. Weak notes of stewed hops, overcooked veg and solvent. A harsh flavour upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is light, prickly and dry. Slightly astringent. Faint aftertaste of stewed leaves.
Bah - a fairly typical mass-produced lager, dull and characterless. Weak aroma and flavour with some off-notes. Not particularly good; the low price is the only thing going for it. Give it a miss.

Before I found out there were other, more interesting, beers I was a native Bavaria Pils drinking teenager since the brewery is only a 15 minute bicycle ride away and all the local bars serve it.
Visually the beer looks like a classic pilsener. The color is yellow-goldish with a not so big white head that is quite stable.
Smell is mostly malts: bread/grain with a slight hint of caramel. Earthy smell from the hops and maybe a tiny hint of grape.
Taste is a little bit unbalanced. It needs more hoppiness to resemble a true pilsner. But it's brewed for mass consumption therefore taste isn't really discernible.
Mouthfeel is pleasant. Not too much carbonation, nice body and a balanced aftertaste.
Isn't a bad beer at all but it isn't phenomenal.

Straw color with medium head and plenty of lacing.
Aromas of honey and hay. Pretty mild, not much going on.
Tastes of honey, lemon and grass. A little skunky. Very light, not much body.
It reminds me of a watered down heineken. Probably won't buy again.

Clear as a bell, just on the gold side of straw in color. Head is very white and a pretty dead affair after 40 seconds. A little clove to the aroma, not much detectable skunk. Sweet and malty upfront, a little sense of Karo syrup and an unfortunate walk toward elements of that glue on the back of brown mailing tape. Finishes quickly thereafter but the hops are mediocre, very macro-like. Forgetable beer in practically all aspects.

picked up a sixer from the Biltmore Cabaret's "Cold Beer" section on the side of the club about a fortnight ago. poured from 500ml can into pint glass.
pours a 1" frothy white head, heavier than moderate lacing, clear light yellow body, not so bubbly.
malt, corn. apple juice aroma. smells awful.
tastes comes back to apple juice. simple and plain. alcohol is damn prevalent for such a low content beer. sour mash vibe.
mouthfeel is unpleasant. thin, funky aftertaste.
a cheap, pale, nasty beer. even super cold it is gross. avoid.

HOOVER, Ala. Nick Marshall was nowhere to be found Monday afternoon.
That didnt prevent him from being the most popular topic among Auburns contingent on the first day of this years SEC media days. The starting quarterback was originally supposed to be one of Auburns three player representative at the event. But then he received a pair of citations one for possession of marijuana less than an ounce and another for excessive window tint last week in Reynolds, Ga.
With that, Marshall had squandered an opportunity.
I believe its a reward and privilege to represent Auburn here at SEC media day. I believe he lost that right Friday, said coach Gus Malzahn, noting that he reserves his highest expectations for his starting signal-caller. Up until last Friday, Nick has been a model student, a model teammate and a model citizen, but he made a mistake and hes going to have to suffer the consequences for that mistake.
Dont ask Malzahn what that entails, though. Asked repeatedly, with different phrasing each time, he refused to shed any light on how much time Marshall may miss, if any.
Im not saying what that consequence is right now, Malzahn said, but it will be addressed.
And thats exactly what both Marshall and Jonathon Mincy a fellow senior who was arrested for marijuana possession in Abbeville, Ala., last month have already done within the confines of the team. On Sunday night, both Marshall and Mincy owned up to their recent legal issues during a team meeting, expressing contrition for the actions.
While Malzahn wasnt pleased a meeting had to be called in the first place, he believed both got the right message across.
We had two guys make mistakes. Were going to deal with those mistakes, he said. But I feel very good about the big picture of where were at with the program and I know our players and coaches feel the same way.
Gabe Wright concurred.
I know him personally and I know what hes about, the senior defensive tackle said of Marshall. I could tell from the look in his eyes and I could tell from the words coming out of his mouth.
Fellow senior Reese Dismukes also lended his support. He offered a sympathetic ear if Marshall felt he needed it.
Its the least he could do, after all.
He's been nothing but a great piece of this fun journey we've been on the past year, said Dismukes, entering his fourth year as the Tigers starting center. (I) just let him know that I'm there for him and I can help him out however he needs me.
C.J. Uzomahs trust in Marshall was similarly steadfast. The team is disappointed, no doubt. But Uzomah believes Marshall will emerge from this situation stronger than ever.
We know he's going to learn from this mistake, the senior tight end said. Coach Malzahn's going to address it and handle it accordingly. He's still our leader. We still have all the confidence in the world and faith in him. We know he's just going to bounce back from this.
Still, for all their support, it wasnt Marshall having face the media crush Monday it was his teammates. Did they not sense a disconnect between a player considered a team leader and one Malzahn deemed the face of the program then acting in the opposite manner? Didnt it bother them that they were the ones having to answer for his mistakes?
No, Wright didnt like it.
But he understood why the questions were being lobbed his way.
Im a realist. I feel like you just have to welcome it, he said. Im not going to say I dont want to be asked, but in all honesty, I have no (influence) in what happens to Nick or Jonathon. I can accept responsibility for what happens after the fact from looking out for them more, but when stuff like that happens, thats really all a guy needs: someone to help him along. Thats what us three and the rest of our seniors can do.
Malzahn expects nothing less. To prevent these incidents from continuing to occur, it falls on the senior class to self-police.
Rules are nothing if those at the top don't set a standard for the rest of the team to follow.
We put our seniors in a leadership position, Malzahn said. Weve got a very strong senior class and I feel very good about them as a group and theyre going to handle (Marshall and Mincy). And I dont foresee any other issues moving forward.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
When Guccio Guccison of a Florentine craftsmanopened a modest leather-goods shop in his native city in 1921, he laid the foundation for what would become one of the world's most powerful and recognizable luxury brands. Gucci was wise to the ways of the European aristocracy, having once worked at the Savoy Hotel in London, and his store's wares included traveling articles, luggage, and saddlery with a certain elegant je ne sais quoi. By the 1930's his accessories and bags, distinguished by the horse bit and stirrup motif, had become trendy among the well-heeled set. Over the next 30 years Gucci and his sonsRodolfo, Aldo, Ugo, and Vascocemented the brand's international prestige with the introduction of its iconic bamboo-handled bag (still in production today), green-red-green webbing, and logo of interlocking G's. Further enhancing the company's image were Gucci-wearing style setters like Jackie O and Grace Kelly.
In the 1970's and 1980's the family business expanded into the Far East. As it diversified and added more accessible items to its line, however, its elite reputation began to tarnish. After Rodolfo's death in 1983, his son Maurizio took the reins of the company amid a storm of Gucci-versus-Gucci legal battles and a tax-evasion conviction for Aldo Gucci in 1986. The house was near bankruptcy when Maurizio sold half of the company's shares to a Bahrain-based investment group in the late eighties (the remaining shares were sold in 1993).
Enter Tom Ford. Dawn Mello, then Gucci's creative director, tapped him to design womenswear in 1990. By 1995, new CEO Domenico De Sole was planning a total relaunch; Ford's until-then behind-the-scenes role was expanded and he was named the new creative director. Ford masterminded a new Gucci image of exclusive, sex-fueled hedonism that twinned provocation with a concept of woman as glamazon. Over the next few years, he designed collections that would come to define the go-go days of the late nineties, with such signatures as the boot-cut velvet suit paired with a cleavage-baring unbuttoned shirt (incidentally his own trademark look), the white jersey cutout dress, and the flesh-colored goddess gown sprinkled with tiny crystals. With art direction by Carine Roitfeld and photographs by Mario Testino, an infamous marketing campaign teased the dangerous edges of pornography.
In 1999 the French powerhouse LVMH tried to acquire Gucci, but its rival PPR bested it, snapping up Gucci and creating the Gucci Group, which today is home to Yves Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen, and Balenciaga, among others. In 2004 Ford and De Sole left Gucci after sparring with PPR executives. Frida Giannini, a former accessories designer under Ford, is the current creative director.

From the moment Frida Giannini debuted her print-happy collection of forties-inspired dresses for Gucci in 2005, the message was clear: farewell, hard-edged eroticism; hello, ladylike sexiness. Just 32 when she landed the post of creative director of womenswear, she had made a splash at Gucci the previous year with a collection of accessories, from canvas totes to loafers, featuring the Flora print created in the 1960's for a scarf for Grace Kelly. more >

1 1/3 cups sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

To prepare crust, combine flour and salt in bowl; cut in shortening with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle surface with ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, toss with fork until moist and crumbly. Press mixture gently into 5-inch circle; wrap in plastic wrap. Chill 15 minutes. Flour dough lightly. Roll into circle between sheets of waxed paper on dampened countertop. Peel off top sheet. Flip into pie plate. Peel off other sheet and press pastry to fit into pie plate. Fold edge under and crimp or flute. Preheat oven to 275 degrees. To prepare filling, beat eggs with whisk. Add sugar and flour. Beat well. Add melted butter, buttermilk and vanilla. Stir Well. Sprinkle pecan pieces evenly onto pie crust and pour in egg mixture. Bake about 1 hour or until golden brown and set. Yield: 8 servings.
