Enemy at the gait: New cameras identify you by your walk — RT.
FBI plans to create a database of criminals' faces are well under way.
The $1billion scheme will help officials fight crime by matching surveillance photographs with images of known offenders.
But privacy advocates have decried the wide-ranging project as 'a national photographic database' which will eventually encompass the innocent as well as criminals.
The Next Generation Identification programme has been in the pipeline for several years and is now coming to fruition, according to the New Scientist.
The plan involves using several hi-tech identification measures such as DNA analysis, voice recognition and iris scans to help fight crimes.
But the centrepiece of the project is facial recognition, a technological breakthrough which the FBI says will be invaluable in solving and preventing crime in the future.
The software has two primary uses – one is to allow officials to pick out an individual from a crowd to facilitate surveillance.
The other new step is the ability to take a photograph and compare it against a database of faces which would in theory contain all former criminals, like fingerprint databases do today.
Facial recognition software is already used by social networking sites such as Facebook to help users 'tag' their friends in photographs, and it is believed to have an accuracy rate of over 90 per cent.
However, some campaigners are concerned that by using such sites and other sources, the government could build a photographic database of nearly every American, casting suspicion on those who have done nothing wrong.
FBI official Jerome Pender told a Senate hearing earlier this year that until now the project has only involved those previously convicted of a crime.
But the bureau has not yet confirmed that it does not plan to include photographs of the general public in the programme after it is fully operational in 2014.
The FBI has previously worked with bodies which issue drivers' licences, raising the spectre of all holders of state identification being entered into the database.
A spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union told the New Scientist: 'Once you start plugging this into the FBI database, it becomes tantamount to a national photographic database.'

Birthmarks, be damned: the FBI has officially started rolling out a state-of-the-art face recognition project that will assist in their effort to accumulate and archive information about each and every American at a cost of a billion dollars.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reached a milestone in the development of their Next Generation Identification (NGI) program and is now implementing the intelligence database in unidentified locales across the country, New Scientist reports in an article this week. The FBI first outlined the project back in 2005, explaining to the Justice Department in an August 2006 document (.pdf) that their new system will eventually serve as an upgrade to the current Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) that keeps track of citizens with criminal records across America .
"The NGI Program is a compilation of initiatives that will either improve or expand existing biometric identification services," its administrator explained to the Department of Justice at the time, adding that the project, "will accommodate increased information processing and sharing demands in support of anti-terrorism."
"The NGI Program Office mission is to reduce terrorist and criminal activities by improving and expanding biometric identification and criminal history information services through research, evaluation and implementation of advanced technology within the IAFIS environment."
The agency insists, "As a result of the NGI initiatives, the FBI will be able to provide services to enhance interoperability between stakeholders at all levels of government, including local, state, federal, and international partners." In doing as such, though, the government is now going ahead with linking a database of images and personally identifiable information of anyone in their records with departments around the world thanks to technology that makes fingerprint tracking seem like kids' stuff.
According to their 2006 report, the NGI program utilizes "specialized requirements in the Latent Services, Facial Recognition and Multi-modal Biometrics areas" that "will allow the FnewBI to establish a terrorist fingerprint identification system that is compatible with other systems; increase the accessibility and number of the IAFIS terrorist fingerprint records; and provide latent palm print search capabilities."
Is that just all, though? During a 2010 presentation (.pdf) made by the FBI's Biometric Center of Intelligence, the agency identified why facial recognition technology needs to be embraced. Specifically, the FBI said that the technology could be used for "Identifying subjects in public datasets," as well as "conducting automated surveillance at lookout locations" and "tracking subject movements," meaning NGI is more than just a database of mug shots mixed up with fingerprints — the FBI has admitted that this their intent with the technology surpasses just searching for criminals but includes spectacular surveillance capabilities. Together, it's a system unheard of outside of science fiction.
New Scientist reports that a 2010 study found technology used by NGI to be accurate in picking out suspects from a pool of 1.6 million mug shots 92 percent of the time. The system was tested on a trial basis in the state of Michigan earlier this year, and has already been cleared for pilot runs in Washington, Florida and North Carolina. Now according to this week's New Scientist report, the full rollout of the program has begun and the FBI expects its intelligence infrastructure to be in place across the United States by 2014.
In 2008, the FBI announced that it awarded Lockheed Martin Transportation and Security Solutions, one of the Defense Department's most favored contractors, with the authorization to design, develop, test and deploy the NGI System. Thomas E. Bush III, the former FBI agent who helped develop the NGI's system requirements, tells NextGov.com, "The idea was to be able to plug and play with these identifiers and biometrics." With those items being collected without much oversight being admitted, though, putting the personal facts pertaining to millions of Americans into the hands of some playful Pentagon staffers only begins to open up civil liberties issues.
Jim Harper, director of information policy at the Cato Institute, adds to NextGov that investigators pair facial recognition technology with publically available social networks in order to build bigger profiles. Facial recognition "is more accurate with a Google or a Facebook, because they will have anywhere from a half-dozen to a dozen pictures of an individual, whereas I imagine the FBI has one or two mug shots," he says. When these files are then fed to law enforcement agencies on local, federal and international levels, intelligence databases that include everything from close-ups of eyeballs and irises to online interests could be shared among offices.
The FBI expects the NGI system to include as many as 14 million photographs by the time the project is in full swing in only two years, but the pace of technology and the new connections constantly created by law enforcement agencies could allow for a database that dwarfs that estimate. As RT reported earlier this week, the city of Los Angeles now considers photography in public space "suspicious," and authorizes LAPD officers to file reports if they have reason to believe a suspect is up to no good. Those reports, which may not necessarily involve any arrests, crimes, charges or even interviews with the suspect, can then be filed, analyzed, stored and shared with federal and local agencies connected across the country to massive data fusion centers. Similarly, live video transmissions from thousands of surveillance cameras across the country are believed to be sent to the same fusion centers as part of TrapWire, a global eye-in-the-sky endeavor that RT first exposed earlier this year.
"Facial recognition creates acute privacy concerns that fingerprints do not," US Senator Al Franken (D-Minnesota) told the Senate Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on privacy, technology and the law earlier this year. "Once someone has your faceprint, they can get your name, they can find your social networking account and they can find and track you in the street, in the stores you visit, the government buildings you enter, and the photos your friends post online."
In his own testimony, Carnegie Mellon University Professor Alessandro Acquisti said to Sen. Franken, "the convergence of face recognition, online social networks and data mining has made it possible to use publicly available data and inexpensive technologies to produce sensitive inferences merely starting from an anonymous face."
"Face recognition, like other information technologies, can be source of both benefits and costs to society and its individual members," Prof. Acquisti added. "However, the combination of face recognition, social networks data and data mining can significant undermine our current notions and expectations of privacy and anonymity."
With the latest report suggesting the NGI program is now a reality in America, though, it might be too late to try and keep the FBI from interfering with seemingly every aspect of life in the US, both private and public. As of July 18, 2012, the FBI reports, "The NGI program … is on scope, on schedule, on cost, and 60 percent deployed."
There's a nasty computer virus going around that shocks users by putting on the screen a claim that the FBI and the federal government has taken control of the computer because it has been linked to illegal activity.
Further, it controls the computer's Web camera and makes it look like an image of the user is being streamed to the government.
"It is scary. The first time we saw it we jumped back and said, 'Hey, what is going on?'" Alex Diaz, with Top Tech Experts, told KTRK-TV in Houston.
The latest wave of attacks has hit the Republican National Convention in Tampa, where numerous computer users lined up at computer centers for help removing the malicious software.
Diaz told the Houston station the new FBI scam tries to convince users that they have done something wrong and have been caught.
It then demands that the user purchase a pre-paid debit card for $200 and enter the card number so the "fine" can be paid and the computer unlocked.
"With anything that you see with FBI warnings, you want to be alarmed and read it properly, but do not send any money," Diaz advised the station. "The FBI is not taking money from you, or wanting any money from you in that manner."
Federal investigators confirm it's just a new twist on an old theme used by scammers – scaring people into sending them money.
But technical experts say the computer effectively is worthless until the virus can be cleaned.
The The Hillsboro, Kan., Star-Journal reported that local computer users were being threatened for "owning or distributing copyrighted material, pornography, or malware."
The virus also threatens criminal action for those who fail to pay.
Several anti-virus program companies already were addressing the concerns, posting notices about the "FBI Moneypak Virus" and instructions on how to remove it. Spyware, spybot and other companies also posted warnings and advisories about the problem.
Officials with Geek Squad, Best Buy electronics company's computer fixit shop, said the software is accurately described as a "ransomware, "which states the user's computer is locked and requires payment via Moneypak cards."
The company declined to comment on the number of cases its technicians have seen.
"We do encourage individuals to take the proper precautions, because it is dangerous from the perspective that if individuals purchase Moneypak cards and pay the ransom they have no way of getting the money back or filing a claim," the company statement said.
The Kansas Better Business Bureau also is warning about the situation. And Agence France-Presse noted the worldwide impact of the scam.
"We're getting inundated with complaints," Donna Gregory of the U.S. Internet Crime Complaint Center said of the "Reventon ransomware."
"Some people have actually paid the so-called fine," she told AFP.
|"Domestic Terrorism: A Persistent Threat in the United States is republished with permission of Stratfor."
By Scott Stewart
A string of incidents over the past month has served as a reminder that despite the intense, decadelong focus on the jihadist threat, domestic terrorism is still an issue in the United States. On Aug. 5, Wade Page opened fire on the congregation of a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis., killing six and wounding three others. Though Page killed himself and did not leave any evidence explicitly listing his motives for the attack, his long association with the white supremacist movement was clearly a factor in his target choice.
On Aug. 15, Floyd Corkins shot and wounded a security guard in the lobby of the Family Research Council's office in Washington after the guard blocked him from entering the office. Corkins reportedly was carrying a bag containing a box of ammunition and a number of Chick-fil-A sandwiches. He apparently targeted the Family Research Council because of its public support for Chick-fil-A in the wake of the controversy over statements made by the fast food chain's founder regarding gay marriage. According to media reports, Corkins said, "I don't like your politics," before opening fire.
And on Aug. 16, an off-duty sheriff's deputy was shot and wounded while working as a security guard at an oil refinery in St. John the Baptist Parish, La. When two other deputies responded to a nearby trailer park where a vehicle reportedly associated with the shooting was spotted, the trailers' occupants ambushed and killed the deputies. An additional officer was wounded, along with two of the suspects involved in the shooting, Brian Smith and Kyle Joekel. Seven people have been arrested in connection with the incident, including Smith's father and brother. News reports indicate that the group was associated with the sovereign citizen movement, and members of it were under investigation for weapons offenses and previous threats to law enforcement officers in other states.
All three of these incidents stem from distinct ideological streams: the white supremacist skinhead movement, the radical left and the Posse Comitatus/sovereign citizen movement. While unrelated as far as timing and motive, when taken together they show that extremist ideologies subscribed to by certain individuals on the fringes of U.S. society continue to radicalize some to the point that they are willing to take violent action in accordance with those ideologies. Domestic terrorism is thus alive and well.
First, we need to remember that terrorism is a tactic practiced by actors from a wide array of ethnic and religious backgrounds who follow various ideologies stretching from anarchism to neo-Nazism. Terrorism does not equal jihadism. Long before jihadism reared its head in the United States, anarchist Leon Czolgosz assassinated President William McKinley, white supremacist James Earl Ray assassinated Martin Luther King Jr., and Posse Comitatus member Gordon Kahl killed three law enforcement officers in a multistate spree of violence.
Indeed, as we look at all of the recent attention being paid to lone assailants and small cells, it must be remembered that anti-government and white supremacist leaders in the United States embraced the leaderless resistance model of operations long before jihadist groups began to promote it.
In 1989, William Pierce wrote his novel Hunter, which detailed the exploits of a fictional lone wolf named Oscar Yeager and was loosely based upon real-life lone wolf Joseph Paul Franklin. In 1990, Richard Kelly Hoskins published a book titled Vigilantes of Christendom, in which he introduced the concept of a "Phineas Priest," or a lone wolf militant chosen and set apart by God to be his agent of vengeance upon the earth. In 1992, former Ku Klux Klan leader Louis Beam published an essay in his magazine, The Seditionist, that provided a detailed outline for moving the white supremacist movement toward a leaderless resistance model. Jihadists such as Abu Musab al-Suri first began to promote leaderless resistance only after the U.S. response to the 9/11 attacks began to severely affect al Qaeda. But even so, groups such as al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula did not really embrace al-Suri's concept of leaderless resistance until late 2009, and the al Qaeda core did not follow suit until 2010.
The recent spate of incidents is also not all that unusual. Other examples stand out in recent years of different streams of domestic radicalism leading to a confluence of attacks by different types of actors. For example, on April 19, 1995, a large truck bomb built by anti-government extremists Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols detonated outside the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people. Five days later, on April 25, timber lobbyist Gilbert Murray became the third fatality and final victim of Unabomber Theodore Kaczynski's long Neo-Luddite bombing campaign.
Another such convergence occurred in the summer of 1999. After conducting arsons at three Sacramento-area synagogues, brothers Matthew and Tyler Williams killed a gay couple in their home in Happy Valley, Calif., on July 1. On July 2, World Church of the Creator adherent Benjamin Smith began a multistate shooting spree that killed two and wounded nine and that only ended when he killed himself July 4. On Aug. 10, former Aryan Nations member Buford Furrow mounted an armed assault against a Jewish day care center in Los Angeles, during which he wounded five people before killing a Filipino-American mailman on the street.
Domestic terrorism in the United States is a cyclical phenomenon. There are discernable peaks in that cycle, like those we've discussed — and like the one the country is currently experiencing. The intense political polarization that has occurred in recent years in the United States, the widespread distrust of the government on both the extreme right and the extreme left, and the current election-year rhetoric will further inflame political passions. This means that the current cycle of domestic terrorism plots and violence is likely to continue for at least the next several months.
While domestic terrorism is currently at the peak of the cycle in the United States, it is important to remember that most domestic terrorism cases tend to be simple attacks conducted by a lone actor or small cell. There are far more instances of simple bombings, such as those conducted by Olympic Park bomber Eric Rudolph or animal rights bomber Daniel Andreas San Diego, than the sort of large truck bomb attack committed by McVeigh and Nichols, which was an anomaly. Even more common than bombing attacks are the armed assaults that we've seen recently, and they are generally implemented against soft targets — something we've talked about in relation to other terrorist threats.
And that means that the implications for domestic terrorist threats are essentially the same as they are for the jihadist or Iranian threat. First, it is critical for people to remember that terrorist attacks do not appear out of a vacuum. Individuals planning an attack — no matter what their motivation or ideology — follow a discernable cycle, and that cycle involves behavior that can be identified and detected before the attack is conducted. Indeed, it appears that the Smith family and their associates involved in the Louisiana shooting were known by authorities in several jurisdictions and were considered armed and dangerous.
It is also important for individuals to understand that it is physically impossible for governments to protect all potential targets from every sort of attack. This means that many places are vulnerable to an attack, should an assailant choose to strike and should the assailant's preoperational activities go undetected. Therefore, citizens need to assume responsibility for their own security. This involves citizens not only reporting suspicious activity to the authorities, but also practicing good situational awareness and having updated and appropriate contingency plans in place for their families and businesses.

It is unknown if Brandon Raub was detained for anything more than questioning.
A former U.S. Marine who accused the government of lying about 9/11 and spoke of "The Revolution" on Facebook was detained on Friday night, reports Renee Nal of Gather.
According to Brandon Raub's mother, authorities from the FBI, Secret Service and Chesterfield County PD came to their door, questioned Raub about his Facebook posts – which are critical of the official story regarding 9/11 and refer to "starting a revolution" – then handcuffed him and placed him in a Chesterfield PD squad car before taking him directly to John Randolph Psychiatric Hospital in Hopewell, Va.
Raub's mother said he returned about a year ago after serving in Afghanistan (after serving in Iraq) and did not suffer from PTSD.
The Chesterfield PD told us that the situation "was an FBI matter and we were just there to assist them" so it could not provide us with an official reason why Raub was detained.
Raub's mother said that an FBI agent told her Raub was "arrested by the Chesterfield police department" because he "assaulted an officer and resisted arrest," then asked her if Raub "was having any issues relating to people" and told her that "the threats he was making were terrorist in nature."
When asked the Chesterfield PD said Raub has not been charged with resisting arrest and assaulting an officer.
The FBI and Secret Service will not be available for comment until Monday morning.
Here is the video of the arrest:
The most recent posts by Brandon J Raub – as opposed to Raub Brandon – include "AND THEY WILL SAY HE SAID IT TO THE NSA FIRST." on August 16 and "Feelin like Pac all Eyes on me." on August 15 and "The Revolution will come for me. Men will be at my door soon to pick me up to lead it. ;)" on August 14.
Also on August 14, he posted this video:
A post on August 12 said: "There has been an overwhelming amount of evil enacted and planned against you, your children, and your countrymen. It is great in scope. Your government evil. It is as simple as that. And the calvary is coming."
Raub's mother said Raub was told that he will see a judge on Monday but has not been told what he has been charged with and has not been read his rights.

Athletes from around the globe are now in London for the 2012 Summer Olympics, but sports stars and spectators aren't the only ones arriving. The US is sending its top spies from the CIA, FBI and other agencies to aid UK authorities during the games.
British security officials have joined forces with America's top federal intelligence agencies to establish a "threat integration center" in the UK. Experts with America's Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation and National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) are teaming up with British security officials from Scotland Yard, MI-5 and MI-6 to identify and analyze potential threats that could target the games, set to begin this Friday. They will operate out of a temporary headquarters in the US Embassy in London.
In a prepared testimony delivered on Wednesday before the US House Homeland Security Committee, NCTC Director Matthew Olsen said American authorities have been coordinating with overseas officials for the last two years to prepare for any disruptions targeting the Olympics and claims that their team is "in a position to respond quickly to prevent any possible plotting tied to the games."
Olsen adds that their operations out of the US Embassy are "designed to operate around the clock providing real-time situational awareness and threat analysis," but won't necessarily be tasked with running the show.
"They won't directly be providing security. That's what the U.K. authorities will be doing," Patrick Ventrell testified during a July 17 State Department briefing. "But they'll be providing some routine liaison capability."
Additionally, American agents with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) — a division of the Department of Homeland Security — have been dispatched to London to assist with screening airline passengers landing at Heathrow and other British airports. After the September 11, 2011 terrorist attacks, the US agency deployed only 21 TSA Representatives (TSARs) and 50 inspectors overseas to conduct security assessments at more than 300 foreign airports, their federal website reveals. However, actually deploying agents to directly assist with screening passengers internationally is believed to be unprecedented before now.
Neither the TSA nor the agencies involved in the threat integration center have explicitly announced how many Americans are being sent to aid British security, but it isn't unlikely that a surge of US security personnel will be assisting in facets both inside of airports and at the US Embassy. The head of the international security company G4S admitted to British parliament earlier this month that his company had only hired and trained 4,000 agents to supplement the state's security forces during the games, although he previously had promised the Olympics a staff of 10,000. In response, UK Prime Minister David Cameron has ordered 3,400 British troops and thousands of law enforcement officers to the games as part of a contingency plan established to aid.
The threat integration center is reported to have officially opened up on Wednesday. Speaking on condition of anonymity, sources talking to ABC News claim that around 50 FBI agents are involved in UK operations. The US Secret Service will also be in London to provide security for athletes and dignitaries attending the festivities, which could open international protesters demonstrating the either American athletes or US policy to be subject to HR 347. That legislation, dubbed the Trespass Act, passed earlier this year and in turn made in a criminal act to disrupt events that warrant Secret Service protection. In a paper published earlier this year by the Congressional Research Service by law expert Charles Doyle, he writes that "The Constitution grants Congress broad powers to enact laws of extraterritorial scope and imposes few limitations on the exercise of that power." A disruption that is thereby considered a threat to a person protected under HR 347, although done overseas, could perhaps lead to prosecutors arguing for criminal charges to be filed in the States. According to Doyle, many US nationals can be charged with many crimes waged at other American citizens, even if conducted overseas.

In July, the Department of Homeland Securityannounced it has branched "out from fingerprint matching to iris and facial recognition for identity verification" and is considering "additional biometric modalities" in an aggressive push to establish a sprawling Stasi-like data network.
Government implementation of biometric technology has come to the attention of Congress. On Wednesday, the Senate Committee on the Judiciary held a hearing of the Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law dealing with facial recognition and civil liberties.
Concerns about civil liberties, however, will not slow down Big Brother.
The FBI has announced it is working to establish a tattoo "symbols" database as part of an overarching effort to "foster collaboration, improve information sharing, and advance the adoption of optimal biometric and identity management solutions within the FBI and across the law enforcement and national securitycommunities." The agency is serious about "ongoing work in other modalities including voice and face recognition, handwriting, palmprints, scars, marks, and tattoos."
As NSA whistleblower William Binneyrevealed, the government is "pulling together all the data about virtually every U.S. citizen in the country and assembling that information, building communities that you have relationships with, and knowledge about you; what your activities are; what you're doing." Face recognition, handwriting, palmprints, scars, marks, and tattoos – in addition to your email, web destinations, medical and credit records, and cellphone GPS coordinates – are all part of the dossier process.
Tattoos, of course, are a natural addition to this ongoing effort to establish a high-tech mega-Stasi surveillance and control network. The Nazis tattooed Jews and political prisoners for easy identification. In the Roman Empire, soldiers were required by law to have identifying tattoos on their hands in order to make it difficult to remain anonymous if they deserted. Slaves and gladiators were also required to be tattooed. It was a common practice to tattoo "tax paid" on the forehead of slaves prior to the rule of Emperor Constantine, who banned the practice.
In America, circa 2012, no such law or requirement is needed – the act of tattooing is now wildly popular. This will make it easy for the state to further identify and control the populace.
The current head of the Pentagon's cyber attack response team told the American Enterprise Institute that war is coming, and that the United Statesremains unprepared for the worst.
General Keith Alexander said he expects that cyberattacks will soon become legitimately destructive at the rate they're outpacing the United States defenses.
There's one big problem holding all of this back, according to Alexander.
The responsibility to defend and respond to cyber attacks lies variously with the FBI, Homeland Security, and the Department of Defense.
Alexander said that unless Congress consolidates that sprawling cyber-defense infrastructure, the U.S. will not be able to fend off the increasingly likely major successful attack.
What's the kicker from the speech is this: all that stands between the United States and the coordinated attacks on it is a sprawling, disorganized group of feds without a centralized command and each working for different goals.
And worst of all, the only entity that can solve it is Congress.

Thousands of homes across Hampshire left without power after blackout
Updated 9:30am Wednesday 21st May 2014 in News By Maxwell Kusi-Obodum, Senior reporter
NEARLY 2,000 homes in Hampshire were left without power when a blackout struck this morning.
Around 1,700 homes in the Twyford area lost their supplies shortly after 7.20am.
Engineers restored power to most homes by 9am but are still trying to connect 97 properties after the major fault.
A spokeswoman from Scottish and Southern Energy apologised to customers and said they are working to determine the cause of the disruption.
She said: "We are doing all we can to restore power to these customers as quickly as possible within the next two to three hours."

A camera mounted to a car's dash captured a pretty remarkable scene in Ukraine. After a car was t-boned in the middle of the intersection, the two men inside simply get out, grab their things and walk away. The utter lack of emotion the two displayed after taking a pretty nasty hit seems to be anything but normal.
What makes their actions even more peculiar was the fact that they clearly were not at fault in the accident. The video was posted at AutoEvolution, where it was suggested that the men walked away from the accident because the car was stolen or the occupants were on drugs (or both).
Check it out for yourself above.

'Hilltop youth the hardest informants to recruit'

(photo credit:REUTERS/Nir Elias)
The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) and Israel Police are failing to stop "price tag" attacks because they're facing off against a population that is almost impossible to infiltrate, a Shin Bet source said Thursday.The "Hilltop Youth" and other right-wing extremists are the hardest people to recruit as informants, said the source, a career Shin Bet field officer who worked in the Palestinian territories throughout the first and second intifadas."They have a fundamentalist mind-set, and they're very devoted and confident, and the potential to recruit them as informers is close to zero," he said.He added that Jewish extremists in the West Bank settlements, typically believed to be the driving force behind the "price tag" attacks, were harder to recruit as informants than members of Hamas or Islamic Jihad were."It's not a matter of manpower – the Shin Bet has the manpower in the field. And it's not about desire. Do you really think we could stop these, [but] we just don't want to?" he asked.The officer said that while the Shin Bet branch that investigated Jewish extremists was now much larger than it had been during the Oslo years, the adversary it faced was much more daunting. He described today's Hilltop Youth and their co-conspirators as more confident than their predecessors, with an extremism stoked in part by the 2005 Gaza withdrawal.They also know how to cover their tracks and won't crack under questioning, he added.The officer addressed the statements that former Shin Bet chief Carmi Gillon made this week. Gillon – who headed the agency during the Oslo years and leading up to the Rabin assassination – said that Israel didn't intend to stop "price tag" attacks and that if it wanted to, the Shin Bet could stop them."I was very surprised by what he said; he knows better than that," said the officer."His statements, what he said, were fitting for someone who doesn't know what he's talking about, who's no longer in the service and doesn't know what's happening in the field."

Ziggi Ivan Santini's curator insight, August 20, 3:04 AM
It's not just the stereotypical rock-stars, Hollywood actors, or porn celebrities that are affected by pressures to perform on camera or on stage. Addiction touches the lives of people across culture, race, age, gender, occupation, and social class.
Ziggi Ivan Santini's curator insight, August 19, 3:00 AM
"Have a look at some of the people, in some of the places around the world who have come together to talk about drug user activism, their incredible achievements, the massive obstacles they constantly tackle, bravely, beautifully and often with very little but their deeply felt belief that by saving each other, we are saving ourselves from the damage the war on drugs inflicts on our communities every day."

Getting there & away
Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí has been a transport center longer than Costa Rica's been a country, and is easily accessed by paved major roads from San José, the Caribbean coast and other population centers. There is a taxi stop across from the bus terminal, and taxis will take you to the nearby lodges and Estación Biológica La Selva for US$3 to US$6.
Right across from the park, the bus terminal (233 4242; 5am-7pm) sells tickets and stores backpacks (US$1.50).
Ciudad Quesada/San Carlos via La Virgen (Empresarios Guapileños) US$1.50, three hours, depart 5:30am, 9am, 2pm, 3:30pm and 7:30pm.
Guápiles (Empresarios Guapileños) US$1.50, one hour, eight times daily from 5:30am to 6:40pm.
San José (Autotransportes Sarapiquí) US$2.50, two hours, 5am, 5:30am, 7am, 7:30am, 8am, 11am, 11:30am, 1:30pm, 3pm, 4:30pm and 5:30pm.
The small port has a regular service to the Trinidad Lodge in Trinidad, and you are able to arrange transportation anywhere along the river (seasonal conditions permitting) through independent boat captains. Short trips cost about US$10 per hour per person for a group of four, or US$20 per hour for a single person. Serious voyages to Tortuguero or Barra del Colorado and back cost about US$350 for a boat holding five.

A police officer in King County, Washington opened fire on a mentally disabled man on Thursday, believing he was brandishing a gun, but later discovering the object was actually made out of Legos.
The Seattle Times reported that the incident occurred in the morning hours, after several motorists reported a man waiving a gun at cars near a roadway.
Police told the paper they'd encountered him before, and that he's got a "fascination with guns."
When the first officer arrived on the scene, he did not comply with her commands, so she opened fire. Police refused to say how many shots were discharged, the report noted.
The man immediately fell to the ground, but was unharmed. Once more officers arrived on the scene they rushed toward him, only to discover that the gun was just a toy made out of Legos.
The man, who lives in a nearby mental health community, was arrested but he's not likely to be charged.

Academic Flexibility:
Allow you to take 2+3+4 courses per semester, all depend on your dedication and time availability.
Academic Experience:
Deliver High Quality of Education
Tuition & Financial Aid:
They never answer their phone, very seldom respond to emails, and give wrong information
Online Courses:
Courses given by staff at Argosy, Sarasota have been good up to last class. Complete lack of concern for students, when graded no indication of why grade was given no feedback so student could correct what was wrong. Chair of Research stepped in and had weekly meeting on line to help students., which was a life saver for students. Online professor didn't answer emails Online professors not affiliated with Argosy Sarasota have been hit and miss some were available and graded promptly and all these professors did let students know what was wrong .
Career Services:
I haven't used this service a lot, jobs posted were posted on various job sites
Academic Flexibility:
Until recently, the school was very accommodating. I had to seek approval from the national level to take a leave from my program. I'm paying them for the degree, not vice versa. I'm very disgusted with the school right now.
Campus Resources:
Need larger facility, new & larger labs, career center and dining options.
Career Services:
I don't know of any career center or alumni networking although staff from my Master's program were always helpful.
Campus Resources:
Most of these do not pertain to this campus. However, the library staff and resources are very informative and helpful.
Campus Resources:
Computer tech department staff are outstanding -- always of service.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
It's very expensive but I guess it's worth it. I'm not real confident in this decision though,
Academic Experience:
I feel very confident with the capabilities of the staff.
Academic Experience:
The curriculum is good. Research courses are good. The topics are interesting. The workload is heavy. When classes are scheduled on campus, the facilities are good. I am not sure about the internship or job opportunities available.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
The school has changed its policies since I started attending and charge the full tuition for a full-time student even if you do not take a full load. This seems unfair. Also, they have reset their policy on attendance and must adhere to their productivity schedule. This is difficult for some.
Academic Experience:
At time I wish I had more face-to-face interation or webinaire for my classes, online classes are convient. Overall I enjoy my school.
Academic Experience:
I am a Psychology major, and my classes are what I expected. The facilities are their when you need them for any question related to school, if bad wheather or any power outages they seem to understnd that issues come with going to school online. There are a lot of activities, orginzation that help you with planning your future. I injuried my back and I have a great support group with Argosy and students, I started writing blogs to let out my fustration with chronic lower back pain, and the lost of income since I was firied for not being able to do the work. I was off of work injury and was on short-term disability.At times I could feel overwhelmed with the support at school, I have everything I need to succeed with a BA in Psychology, I want to be a medical social worker so I can help those with research and support that I have been in their shoes, and I can make a change in helping another life with suffering from chronic pain.
Student Body:
The best part of Argosy University would be that it is very diverse. With it being diverse means that other students and teachers could learn a lot from each other. That could also come in handy with my major of choice.
Academic Experience:
I have at time felt lost due to no interaction with professors as I am an online learner. I have submitted questions vital to understanding the assignment and had to wait almost a week for a response in some cases forcing me to submit assignments late.
Campus Resources:
Academic Counselors – I have nothing but praises for the academic counselors they employ. I have had 2 different counselors since being enrolled and felt like they had my educational needs as a priority.
Student Body:
Students come from different states and some have demanding careers that they are switching from. I don't have a lot of interaction with other students only when we're required to come on campus.
Academic Experience:
Mental Health Counseling – I think the assignments and the books are very relatable to the major. The professors are very knowledgeable in their area and they have they care about their students. The staff wants every student to succeed and they are also helpful.
Campus Resources:
I am not on campus that often because I take classes online. So far I have been on campus just once and the internet speed is really fast in the classroom. I do have my own laptop, which is necessary.
Overall Experience:
Classification of Argosy – At Argosy you can have a piece of mind knowing that the advisors as well as the teaching staff will be there at anytime to assist you. They will find a way to get you on the path you aspire to be on.
Online Courses:
No Comparison! I cannot compare my traditional classroom experience to my online as my traditional classroom experience ended 25 years ago, and I was not serious about school at the time. I am enjoying my online experience, am learning a lot, and am getting good grades. No comparison.
Academic Experience:
I LOVE Argosy! As stated, the whole experience has been great. Online registration is easy, and if one needs to change a class, the registration department is very prompt. The mental health program is CACREP accredited, so the program meets requirements for licensure. The workload varies, depending on the professor, but is always sufficient to ensure learning and demonstration of understanding of the material.

There was little violence after the acquittal of Trayvon Martin's killer last July. Peace prevailed when at least four other unarmed black males were killed by police in recent months, from New York to Los Angeles.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — An Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed three senior leaders of the Hamas military wing on Thursday, the militant group said, in what is likely to be a major blow to the organization's morale and a significant scoop for Israeli intelligence.

A longtime Augusta County leader is hoping to move up in the ranks. Marshall Pattie officially announced his candidacy for the Virginia Senate Monday.
For years Pattie's been a well-known figure on the Augusta County Board of Supervisors. He's also a professor of business at James Madison University.
He announced his candidacy Monday at Reo Distribution in Waynesboro. The decision will have him running in the 2015 Republican primary. He'll be taking on longtime state Senator Emmett Hanger, who was a major player in the recent state budget battle.
Pattie calls himself a longtime fiscal conservative but he hasn't always been a Republican. In fact, he was an active Democrat until the spring of 2011.
He says he's been attending Republican meetings for more than two years now, and will be running as one in 2015.

The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner. (To view the picture, please use this link to the photographer's website): http://www.michaelclancy.com/
The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta. She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb. During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby.

Compton: Veterans health fair has vendor slots open
The second annual Veterans Health and Resource Fair will be Sept. 29 at ProCare, 1700 N. Lombard St., Oxnard.
On behalf of all the veterans of Ventura County, I would like to thank Assemblyman Pedro Nava, the ProCare Foundation and the Ventura County Veterans Steering Committee sponsoring this much needed event. Our veteran population is aging, with 40 percent of veterans now over 65. Medical and financial options are becoming more and more important.
The event is not limited to veterans and their families, and there is no charge to the public.
At this time, the steering committee has not filled all of the vendor booths, but, as they did last year, they will fill early. Interested vendors should call 278-4321 or e-mail veteranhealthand firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Q. In your column last year, you discussed a court ruling about Agent Orange exposure for personnel serving on Navy vessels off the coast of Vietnam. Has the VA started granting disability for those with presumptive conditions from that service?
A. The Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims granted service connection for an Agent Orange presumptive condition for a veteran who served on a Navy vessel stationed off the coast of Vietnam. The finding of the court was that the regulation was too restrictive. For those who would like to read the case it was Haas v. Nicholson No. 04-0491, decided Aug. 16, 2006. The Department of Veterans Affairs has appealed that ruling.
While we are waiting for a final decision, I recommend that those veterans who have a presumptive disability (the list includes certain cancers, including lung and prostate cancer, as well as Type II diabetes) and served aboard a ship stationed within the waters of Vietnam should contact this office to file a claim. Compensation from VA is paid from the date of the claim or change in law.
Those veterans who had claims denied because they did not serve on land should request a reconsideration of their claims because it may be possible to get compensation from the original claims submission date.
Surviving spouses of veterans who died from one of the presumptive conditions or had one of the conditions that was a contributing factor in the veteran's death should also contact this office. Dependency and indemnity compensation may be possible.
I am sure I will be getting more information over the next few months, and as I do I will keep all informed.
George Compton, retired Army colonel, is the veterans service officer for the County of Ventura, Human Services Agency. Send your questions to Veterans Service Office, 1701 Pacific Ave., Suite 110, Oxnard, CA 93033; phone number: 385-6366; fax: 385-6371; or e-mail: email@example.com.

Topic: Do you agree with statement "money can't buy happiness? " . Why or why not? Give some examples to support your opinion.
Happiness depends on how you define happiness. In my opinion, I think that money can't buy happiness, but money can buy a lot of things that contribute importantly to happiness.
First of all, one of the things that make people happy is family and friends. The emotion they give me is priceless. On the other hand, sharing my things that are emotions, money, relationships, opinions and so on with others who I love is my happiness. I love them and want to take care of them carefully. I'm happy when they are happy. These relationships are priceless.
Second of all, this is a meaningful work. A job with a high salary isn't always what makes people happy. Generally, everyone have a dream job, and they pursue it. They find meaning in their job.
Third of all is freedom, it's impossible to have truly happy when I don't have even a small ounce of freedom in my life. Personal freedom is very importance. Money can't buy freedom.
Finally, happiness come from my success. When I do anything, I always have a purpose. Therefore, I'm happy when I achieve my aims. Money is a tool of the life. It can help me to be successful but I can't buy my success.
In conclusion, happiness can't be bought by money. It doesn't in the past or in the future. It only exists within our state of life right now, here in the present, as we face the challenges of their daily life to protect and achieve things that we love.

PETALING JAYA: Malaysian screen legend Datuk Abdul Aziz Sattar (pic), 89, died of a heart attack at about 2am on Tuesday.
News of his passing was confirmed by his grandson, Abu Ubaidah A. Ishak through his Twitter account at about 2:15am.
Earlier on Sunday night, Aziz was rushed to KPJ medical centre in Kajang after he suffered a heart attack but was reported to be in stable condition and later moved to the medical centre's Coronary Care Unit (CCU).
Abdul Aziz acted together with the legendary Tan Sri P. Ramlee and the late S. Shamsuddin as the Bujang Lapuk trio in the 1950's.
His remains were brought to his residence in Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, Cheras before burial at the Cheras Perdana Muslim cemetery after Zohor prayers this afternoon.

Fluor is a stable and growing company. Fluor is good with people development, especially focus on safety. Fluor is a fun place to work.
Turn over is low which is not much opportunity to move up. Not much communication from mid management team. Political issues.

LaRue County emergency medical service has acquired two hydraulic/electric power cots that assist responders in transporting extremely heavy patients.
Mike Cottrell, county EMS director, explained to fiscal court members meeting at the courthouse in Hodgenville Dec. 18 that each cot, with only a touch of a button, can lift a person weighing up to 700 pounds.
"Not only does it make it easier to lift a patient, but also it can help prevent EMS personnel from injury suffered during lifting," Cottrell told magistrates.

In Israel, there are Jews talking about applying a new "Final Solution" to the "Arab problem". In Gaza, there are Arabs cheering the Hamas rockets with cries of "death to the Jews". A wave of irrational hatred is spreading over the Middle East, in Israel, Palestine, Syria, Iraq. Capitalism has conjured up the forces of the netherworld, and only the world proletariat can stand in their way.
We can hardly get away this year from a whole variety of historical experts telling us how the First World War actually got started and what it was really about. But very few of them – not least the left wing ideologues who are full of criticism about the sordid ambitions of the contending royal dynasties and ruling classes of the day –tell us that the war could not be unleashed until the ruling classes were confident that plunging Europe into a bloodbath would not in turn unleash the revolution. The rulers could only go to war when it was clear that the 'representative' of the working class, the Socialist parties grouped in the Second International, and the trade unions, far from opposing war, would become its most crucial recruiting sergeants. This article begins the task of reminding us how this monstrous betrayal could take place.
In 1914, the German Social-Democratic Party was the most powerful party of the Second International. With more than one million members, it was the largest single political party in Europe and the largest party in any European parliament. Socialists throughout the world, faced with the threat of war in the last days before that fateful 4th August, waited for the SPD to live up to its solemn commitments made at the International's congresses at Stuttgart and Basel, and oppose the war. Yet on 4th August, the SPD parliamentary fraction voted for the Imperial government's war credits, and the way to war was open.
How the German Party degenerated in the years leading up to 1914 to the point where it betrayed its most fundamental principles, and the struggle of the left in the party against this degeneration, is the subject of the article that follows.
Day of Discussion - World War One: how the workers were mobilised for war, and how they put an end to it
September 20, 2014, 11 am to 6 pm
Lucas Arms, 245A Grays Inn Rd, Kings Cross, London WC1X 8QY
In all the noisy commemorations about the First World War, some things are more or less left in silence. First, that a crucial responsibility for the war lay with the 'Labour' and 'Socialist' parties who in 1914 voted for war credits and set about mobilising the workers for the war effort; and second, that the war was ended by the revolutionary struggles of the working class.
Iraq has been in an almost permanent state of war for four decades. It has been the theatre of three imperialist wars since 1980. But history is not just repetition. This new conflict, after 100 years of capitalist decadence, is the expression of the decomposition of a society which has become totally irrational. The tragedy unfolding in Iraq goes well beyond the frontiers of this country. As we go to press, the murder of three young Israelis, and the revenge murder of a Palestinian of the same age, is sharpening tensions in Israel/Palestine, with Netanyahu using it as a new opportunity to step up the simmering conflict with Hamas and with Iran.
City and media commentators think that things are definitely looking up for the British economy. The statistics that they are basing themselves on certainly show a vigour in the economy that has not been present for six long years, since the crash of 2008. The housing market is moving forward at a great pace, and not just in London. So much so, there is definite anxiety about an unsustainable bubble. Unemployment has fallen sharply – much faster than predicted by the Bank of England. The UK car industry has seen a long period of growth with sales rising for 27 months in a row (although presumably some of the demand is met by German output, for example). Some see exports doing well, but the UK's trade deficit with the rest of the world widened by more than expected in April, because of weaker manufacturing exports, which were offset by the usual surplus in the services sector.
The ICC in Britain will be holding a Day of Discussion in September 2014. This year, the theme will be World War One – part of our response to the international campaign of the bourgeoisie 'commemorating' this barbaric war
In Egypt, the army's candidate Abdel al-Sisi has won a 'landslide' victory, polling between 93% and 96% of the votes. True, the elections were widely boycotted, and only 46% of the electorate went to the polls (government estimate) and the main opposition party, the Muslim Brotherhood, was banned; true this election was in fact an out and out farce comparable to the one that Bashir Asad organised in war-shattered Syria on 3 June (and even Asad only polled 88.7% of the vote!). But just as the sectarian divisions in Syrian society have led many – such as Christians and members of the Alawite sect that the Asad family belongs to – to support Asad's brutal regime out of fear of what would happen if he lost the civil war, so in Egypt the fact that many ordinary people continue to support the rule of the army is also a product of fear.
As the results of May's elections to the European Parliament became clear, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said it was "more than a warning. It is a shock, an earthquake." The 'seismic' outcome was that about a quarter of the seats would be taken up by parties that are 'malcontents' when it comes to the European dream.
Readers will be aware that we have reduced the frequency of the publication of World Revolution.
On the positive side, our website is now our main publication, which we can update as necessary between publication dates giving a proletarian view on significant events in the world. It is also able to reach readers in parts on the world that our papers cannot.
At the same time, the rise in postal charges means that producing and selling papers is increasingly expensive.
From this issue we will be producing World Revolution quarterly, 4 issues a year. Our new subscription prices will appear in the next issue. All existing subscribers will get the full number of issues they have paid for.

Nvidia's questionable GeForce 337.50 driver, or why you shouldn't trust manufacturer-provided numbers April 8, 2014 at 2:11 pm
Yesterday, Nvidia released the GeForce 337.50 beta drivers to much fanfare. Nvidia itself said that the drivers could improve single GPU performance by up to 64%, and SLI configurations by up to 71%. When the Nvidia-provided benchmarks then failed to provide evidence of these massive performance boosts, we were a little skeptical. Then, when we looked closer and saw that Nvidia's numbers specifically targeted on Battlefield 4 and Thief — two games that AMD has been pushing as the vanguard of Mantle support — we started to wonder if Nvidia was up to something slightly more sinister than simple number massaging.
AMD R9 295X2 review: 500 watts of cool-running 4K gaming goodness with a price tag to match April 8, 2014 at 8:00 am
AMD's new R9 295X2 is a gorgeous performer with amazing thermals and an impressive improvement to its noise profile — but at $1500, the company demands a pretty penny for it.
Developer claims PS4 will always be stronger than the Xbox One April 4, 2014 at 3:59 pm
Microsoft continues to work on improving the Xbox One, but developers are weighing in on both sides of the performance debate. Despite Redmond's long-term commitment to the platform, some developers believe the gaps between PS4 and Xbox One can't be closed.
Apple's A7 Cyclone CPU detailed: A desktop class chip that has more in common with Haswell than Krait March 31, 2014 at 8:48 am
Some six months after Apple shocked the world with its 64-bit A7 SoC, which appeared in the iPhone 5S and then the iPad Air, we finally have some hard details on the Cyclone CPU's architecture. It seems almost every tech writer was wrong about the A7: The CPU is not just a gradual evolution of its Swift predecessor — it's an entirely different beast that's actually more akin to a "big core" Intel or AMD CPU than a conventional "small core" CPU.
