The politics of land ownership in the Negev

The opening session of the annual workshop of the Department of Middle Eastern
Studies at Ben-Gurion University taking place this week focused on the complex
issue of the law and politics of land rights and property among the Beduin in
Israel.The theme of the session fitted well with the overall topic of
the conference, looking at socio-legal aspects of the transition from tradition
to modernity within the Middle East. Nothing is as complex in the transition
from traditional to modern patterns of behavior as is the issue of land
ownership, not least because of the contested nature of land between the state
(in this case Israel) and indigenous population groups (in this case the Beduin
of the Negev region).The lecturers at the opening session were as much
part of the political confrontation as they were part of the academic debate
concerning land rights. They had been involved in the recent High Court cases
concerning the right of the state to forcefully move some of the Beduin out of
the unrecognized villages, arguing that the land in question belonged to the
state and not to the indigenous population who are, in the eyes of the state, no
more than illegal squatters.The state argues that this land does not
have a long history of residence or cultivation, and that the rapid expansion of
Beduin villages has been a recent phenomenon, by which the Beduin have squatted
on land previously uninhabited. For the Beduin, the argument is that these areas
have long belonged to the local tribes and that the deed of possession has
mostly been passed on through oral histories, given the fact that no formal
legal title deeds were ever drawn up in these regions.The High Court in
its ruling two months ago decided in favor of the state, arguing that the Beduin
did not have any legal rights to the land in question, and that the state had
the right to evacuate the illegal settlements and use the land for whatever
purposes the planning authorities deemed necessary. For many, this was seen as
being just one more political decision in a long series of rulings in similar
cases, where the Beduin have failed to win their cases against the
state.Both the academic debate and the court cases have turned into a
battle of the geographers, with many professional geographers using their
expertise to present their knowledge of land ownership and property rights, past
and present, before the government commissions.Historical documents and
narratives, oral histories, land registration deeds (to the extent that any
exist), air photos and old maps have all become part of the documentary
evidence.Of particular note has been the confrontation between two of
the country's most senior geographers, Professor Ruth Kark of the Hebrew
University and Professor Oren Yiftachel from Ben-Gurion University, the former a
historical geographer, appearing on behalf of the state, the latter a political
geographer and also the chairperson of the B'tzelem human rights organization,
appearing on behalf of the Beduin appellants.The Beduin population has
grown rapidly during the past three decades. Following the peace agreement
between Israel and Egypt, the Beduin were moved away from the area close to the
Israel-Egypt boundary and concentrated within a region, known as the Sayagh, to
the immediate north and east of Beersheba, stretching to Arad and Dimona in the
east and to the West Bank and Rahat in the north.The state constructed
seven official Beduin townships, the largest of which, Rahat, has acquired full
city status.The state has always argued, somewhat paternalistically,
that the process of sedentarization has been a spontaneous one as younger
generations opt to exchange traditional patterns of behavior for the attractions
and "bright lights" of modernity. For their part, the Beduin argue that the
movement from the temporary encampments into the seven townships has been forced
upon them for political reasons, resulting in their dispossession from lands
which, they claim, have always belonged to them.The most recent
committee to examine this highly sensitive issue was the Prawer Committee,
established in 2009. On September 11, 2011, the government of Israel approved
the committee's recommendations, including the formal recognition of additional
townships, enabling them to remain in situ, to receive government services and
have municipal status as part of the Abu Basma Regional Council for Beduin
settlements.But the committee also recommended the evacuation of
approximately 40,000 residents of the region who did not live in the specified
communities. Only some of the 40,000 would be eligible to receive compensation,
in cases where they could prove some form of ownership – which for the majority
of them is almost impossible given the historical nature of land rights and land
claims.The reactions to these recommendations were political and to be
expected. Many Israelis on the right view the Prawer recommendations as too
generous and argue that all of the communities should be forcefully evacuated.
For their part, the Beduin community, none of whom were formally represented at
any of the commission's hearings, along with the Israeli left and the human
rights groups, argue that this is no more than a continuation of a forced policy
of sedentarization, through which an indigenous community is being forced off
their ancestral tribal lands.The Beduin concept of land ownership and
property rights is different to that of a centrally organized state and its
rigid system of planning controls and regulations.As states have
conflicted with indigenous populations elsewhere in the world, whether it be the
Aborigines of Australia, the Maori of New Zealand, the Indians in North America,
the tribal populations of Africa and the desert nomadic tribes throughout the
Middle East, the contested arguments of spontaneous sedentarization versus
forced settlement have become a constant theme of the interplay between
tradition and modernity.The state has always come out on top, if only
because of the force it has used in cases where agreement could not be achieved
and where indigenous populations tried to hang on to their ancestral
territories.This took place in a different world, an era of prehuman
rights, pre-media coverage, when European colonialism could just about get away
with anything in the name of opening up a new world and "civilizing" the
indigenous populations.The conflict over land ownership and property
rights in the Negev has intensified in recent years, as the Beduin population
has undergone rapid growth, and as the Israeli government seeks land for the
transfer of army bases and personnel from the center of the country to this
region.Whereas in the past it was relatively easy for the state to
forcefully make its case, this has changed as the younger generation of Beduin
citizens have become educated and more empowered. For any neutral observer, the
court decisions seem to be highly political, with the Beduin losing almost every
case. The situation does not bode well for the future of the region for those of
us living in the Negev, or for the country as a whole.The writer is dean

Bearden takes 'tussle' with Farragut
The Bearden High School boys' basketball team was in bounce-back mode Friday night.
Senior post Brady Smith had 25 points and 17 rebounds as the Bulldogs beat rival Farragut 65-50 in front of a big crowd at Bearden.
The Bulldogs (16-2, 5-1 District 4-AAA) were coming off a 68-63 loss to Maryville on Wednesday that snapped a 13-game winning streak.
"It's just like any rivalry game, records don't matter, especially after last year," Bearden coach Mark Blevins said Saturday. "It was nice to see the gym almost packed to the hilt again like the old Bearden-Farragut series. I'm sure the next one will be tough, too."
Farragut (10-8, 3-3), which plays host to Bearden on Feb. 1, stunned the Bulldogs 57-56 in last season's elimination quarterfinals of the District 4-AAA tournament. That victory ended Bearden's 13-game winning streak in the series.
In Friday's game, Bearden led by two at halftime and by six after three quarters. The Bulldogs pulled away in the fourth quarter, thanks in part to two big shots by junior guard Jack Graham.
"(Graham) hit back-to-back 3s that put the game in double digits at that point," Blevins said. "In the second half, it was a tussle until the fourth quarter. A lot of it had to do with Brady, but the back-to-back 3s were really, really big."
Senior guard DeMarcus Martin led Farragut with 27 points and junior guard Cameron Turner scored 12.
Graham finished with 13 points and senior wing Sam Greene scored 16 as the Bulldogs put the Maryville loss behind them.
"Wednesday night was anybody's game," Blevins said. "It was tied up (with 3:44 left in the game) and we just didn't execute down the stretch. Last night (against Farragut) wasn't pretty, but we did enough to win. We've done that in a lot of games."
Moore, Lady Panthers on a Roll: Junior center Damiyah Moore was a force for the Powell girls on Friday.
Moore had 14 points, 14 rebounds, and four blocks as Powell beat visiting Halls 33-30 in overtime.
"She's one of our players who has gotten better on a daily basis," first-year Powell coach Caitlin Hollifield said of Moore. "She's 6-3, long and athletic. She's improved dramatically."
Powell (10-3, 6-1 District 3-AAA) has a half-game lead in the district standings over Hardin Valley (11-5, 5-1).
The Lady Panthers' only district loss was at home to Hardin Valley (52-38) on Nov. 27. Since then, Powell has won eight of nine games, including three straight.
Powell has no seniors on a roster that includes four freshmen, three sophomores and three juniors.
"We've got a young group of kids," said Hollifield, who played for Powell and graduated 2007. "They've really bought in to what we're doing and are working hard in practice. They keep getting better and better. It's awesome to see the kids grow fundamentally."
Their victory over Halls (6-7, 4-2) was a grind-it-out game. Halls led 16-9 at halftime, and Powell led 24-23 after three quarters. It was tied 27-all at the end of regulation.
Moore made two fouls shots that gave Powell a one-point lead in overtime, and freshman point guard Keelie Lusby made two more foul shots for a three-point lead.
"It was definitely a game of runs, and a lot of defense," Hollifield said. "Anytime Halls plays Powell, it's such a rivalry, it's almost a blood bath. It was physical and the refs let us play. Those kind of games fuel this rivalry."
Lady Falcons' Scrap to Victory: Fulton's girls pulled away from rival Austin-East in the second half for a 67-46 victory Friday.
The Lady Falcons (11-3, 6-1 District 3-AAA) led 28-26 at halftime and outscored the Lady Roadrunners 39-20 in the second half.
"It was a scrappy game," Fulton coach John Fisher said. "I was glad the way we came out in the second half. We didn't play well the first half, but we played a lot better in the second half."
Senior guard/post Jayda Johnson scored 25 and senior wing Victoria Griffin had 20 for Fulton.
Fountain of Points: Wartburg senior Alex Fountain poured in 39 points during Friday's 69-52 victory over Coalfield.
Fountain, a 6-6 forward, is averaging 23.7 points and 11.2 rebounds this season. He was a Class A Mr. Basketball finalist last season and has signed to play for Houston Baptist University, an NCAA Division I program.
"He does it all," Wartburg coach Joe Layne said. "He handles the ball, plays inside or outside. Really his mid-range game is the best. He shoots it really well from 15 feet, and he elevates so well, it's hard to stop."
Wartburg (12-3) leads District 4-A with a 5-0 record.
Ruffner gets 1,000: Midway's Caleb Ruffner surpassed the 1,000-point mark for his career during Friday's 74-60 loss to Grace Christian Academy.
Ruffner had 14 points against Grace — giving him 1,007 points for his career.
Grace's Trey Stewart led all scorers with 26 points.

"This was inspired by another tomato soup recipe with additional ingredients. I kept it simple and made a great soup to pair with grilled cheese."
Serving Size: 1 (160 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 4
"Great, quick, jazz-it-up recipe! I love tomato soup, and this was an easy alternative to the good ol' standby. I actually had Basil, Garlic, & Oregano Diced Tomatoes, and they were great. Tip: make sure the onions are tender in step one—soup shouldn't require a lot of chewing! ;-)"
"Nice and easy! Thanks for sharing :-)"
"Excellent! Made this with grilled cheese sandwich and I love the thick, heartiness (is that a word?) of the soup. It has very small pieces of tomato left but it was great. Wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for posting!"
"I am addicted to this soup! In the past two weeks, I've made this soup three times! I can't get enough of it. The onions, diced tomatoes with garlic and olive oil, and the milk all give this soup a depth of flavors missing from simple tomato soup. It also has a very pleasing texture after giving it a whirl with the braun hand mixer. I will never again have plain old tomato soup straight from the can. This soup is the best and it is sooo easy to make! Thanks for the great recipe!"
"This is quite possibly one of my favorite foods paired with a good grilled cheese. I love this recipe!"
"This was a great alternative to eating just plain old tomato soup from a can--and so easy! Thanks for posting!"
"We both really enjoyed this soup. It was delicious! I added a bit of boiling water as it was a bit thick but that could be the canned tomatoes over here. It was simple and quick and very tasty. I didn't bother to whirl the soup with my stick blender as we wanted it to have more texture and that worked out great for us! I highly recommend this soup. This is NOW our favourite tomato soup!"
"This was wonderful! I didn't have the diced tomatoes with garlic and olive oil..I used the plain petite tomatoes and added a bit of garlic and olive oil. This is very similar to a recipe that someone gave me that added cream cheese...it was a bit too rich...this is perfect!"
"I loved this simple recipe. We all love Tomato Soup and this recipe hit the spot. I didn't have the Del Monte brand so I used Hunts diced and added olive oil with butter and one clove of garlic and sauted. Worked great. Thanks for this recipe. "
"An easy comfort food made even better with little effort. I really like the brightness and freshness the can of diced tomatoes offered and the onions added a depth of flavor you can't get out of a can. Easy and delicious. Something I will definitely make again and again. "
"Your recipe's title says it all! Talk about comfort food at its finest - a steaming bowl of tasty tomato soup and a hot-out-of-the-pan grilled cheese sandwich! An easy and delicious way to take off winter's chill....thanks! :)"

Of course, not all minors are going to report incidents on their own. This is true not just for statutory rape, but for other types of sexual abuse. This is why the law requires that some people make these reports on behalf of those minors.]]> These laws differ from state to state, but North Carolina has a very open policy that simply says that anyone who thinks that any type of sexual abuse has taken place has to go to the authorities. This is also true for institutions -- such as schools or hospitals -- along with individuals.
Different counties in North Carolina have directors for the Department of Social Services, and it is to these people that the reports have to be made. The report should not be made to the director in the country where the reporter lives, but to the director from the victim's county. This director then has the next 24 hours to begin an investigation.
People who have been accused of sex crimes or who are being subjected to this type of investigation should make sure that they know what rights they have. They can then ensure that their rights are not violated during the investigation and that they form a proper defense case if necessary.

However, one 49-year-old Raleigh woman will be facing just that reality if she survives the injuries she suffered in the fatal crash that claimed her 12-year-old son's life.]]> According to police, the woman was traveling recently on Creedmoor Road at a high rate of speed when her Chevy Suburban left the roadway, struck a street sign and several trees and then rolled over. The crash site was between Sawmill Road and Lynn Road, only a short distance south of the woman's Wellsley Way home.
The child was wearing his seat belt and was riding in the back seat of the SUV. A caller to 911 who reported the accident claimed that the woman was driving "very erratically" and that her vehicle wound up "crushed" in a ravine. The driver was also belted in for the ride.
Her son died there at the accident scene, while the woman remains hospitalized at WakeMed in serious condition.
According to investigators, her blood alcohol content at the time of the accident was four times over the legal limit at .32. She was charged her with one count of misdemeanor death by motor vehicle and also exceeding a safe speed. However, according to a police spokesperson, she will soon face additional charges.
It is estimated by authorities that the driver was speeding at 74 mph at the time of the crash. The accident report indicates that the posted speed limit on the road was only 45 mph.
While the woman will have to live out her life knowing that she caused the death of her child, the criminal penalties she faces likely include a long prison stint if she is convicted. In serious cases where a death occurs as a result of a drunk driving crash, seeking legal counsel is always a good move.

This was a federal case, and so he will go to federal prison. The city of Charlotte had a very upright reputation before this case, which cast a new light on the way that the city was run.]]> The man apparently put in his guilty plea quickly and cooperated with the authorities during the case. He has even paid a few thousand dollars -- and will have to pay much more, according to the ruling, which asked for $50,500 -- to cover the expense that it took to investigate.
Because he did all of this, he was hoping to get a sentence of 37 months. However, the judge pointed out that it would have been hard for him to make any other case, seeing as how he was caught with such compelling evidence. The judge then gave him 44 months in jail. He will also have to go to an alcohol abuse program.
The judge did call him a good man but stressed that the ruling had to make a statement to show that this could not happen again.
Anyone who has been accused of federal crimes, such as bribery, must know what rights he or she has on the federal level, as these cases can be different than local or state cases.

For many North Carolina residents, anyone who is even charged with an Internet sex crime is automatically considered guilty -- even before one is convicted. Sex crimes carry a powerfully negative social stigma. However, defendants accused of committing these violations deserve the same legal protections and consideration as those afforded to those accused of other crimes.]]> An attorney can provide the support you need to prevent you from being placed on the sex offender registry. Although this may not sound so bad, it can have serious consequences for your everyday life. Imagine being restricted in the places you can live, work and even visit! Plus, constant tracking by state authorities can be dehumanizing and exhausting.
Whether you are facing physical sex crimes allegations such as sexual assault -- or you are accused of child pornography or exploitation of a minor through the Internet, you deserve the same level of legal protection in North Carolina courts. Our team of qualified attorneys can help you get started in recovering your reputation and refuting the allegations against you in criminal court. You do not have to feel abandoned and confused during your sex crimes proceedings.]]>
Offenders who are residents of the state are required to register immediately upon conviction if they are not subject to prison or jail time. If the defendant has been convicted and sentenced to time in custody, that person has a three-day window for registration after they are released from the penal institution.]]> The registry is not only designed for those offenders who are North Carolina residents, however. If you move to the state with a "reportable conviction" on your record, you are required to register with the state within three business days of officially establishing residency -- or after you have been in the state for 15 days, whichever is first. You must register with the sheriff who oversees the county in which you reside.
Further, even non-resident offenders may be required to submit to the sex crimes registry. College students and others who visit the state for professional purposes must register if they spend more than 30 days each calendar year in North Carolina. Again, registration for these individuals is overseen by the sheriff where the individual attends school or completes professional duties.
Offenders who fail to properly register after they have been convicted of a sex crime could face serious long-term consequences. Even an innocent mistake can lead to increased criminal penalties. Those who have been convicted of sex crimes would be wise to ensure compliance by confirming their actions with an experienced criminal defense attorney.

The 400-gram level is a threshold for the most serious drug trafficking charges that can be pressed under existing state law. All four of these defendants have been accused of trafficking, while three of them are also facing allegations of conspiracy. One of the defendants reportedly used his 2012 Acura as a storage vehicle for transporting and selling drugs. Another defendant allegedly delivered the drugs to undercover police operatives. The seriousness of the charges is underscored by the bail amounts, which range from $400,000 to $1 million, according to authorities.]]> The defendants were reportedly arrested on Sept. 21 by narcotics detectives in North Carolina. They were scheduled to have their first court appearances in late September. It is not yet clear whether any of the defendants were able to post bail.
Criminal defendants who are facing drug charges may face a wide variety of consequences in connection with the alleged violations. Even those defendants who allegedly played a smaller role in this distribution effort are facing serious charges. However, an arrest for trafficking and conspiracy does not mean that a conviction is necessarily forthcoming. Every criminal defendant deserves a fair and unbiased legal proceeding, even if he or she is facing high-level drug charges.

What happens to my license if I refuse a breath test?]]> Drivers who refuse to submit to breathalyzer or blood tests are subject to an immediate 30-day revocation of their driver's license. Taking quick action at this point is absolutely critical, as a team of legal professionals may be able to halt further actions against your license until an official hearing can be scheduled. Those who refuse to submit to a test may have their licenses revoked for up to a year, depending on the outcome of the hearing.
Can I still be convicted of drunk driving if I refuse the breath test?
Although the breathalyzer data may seem like the most critical component of a drunk driving case, convictions can still be obtained without that information. Police officers' observations, video tapes and official reports can all be used as evidence against alleged drunk drivers in the state of North Carolina.
Is refusing a breath test a good idea?
This question is difficult to answer with a simple "yes" or "no." In some cases, refusing a breath test may help drivers dodge additional penalties for drunk driving. In others, the decision may have a negative effect. The outcome of a drunk driving case depends on many factors, not the least of which is the competency and assertiveness of the defendant's legal team.

Whether this is your first or tenth drug charge, you deserve to have your legal rights protected during your criminal proceeding. Our team of legal professionals can help prepare a customized defense for your criminal case, using evidence and expert testimony to support your position. We can help you even if you are facing felony drug charges.]]> Defense attorneys know how to challenge the prosecutors who unfairly target North Carolina residents found with small amounts of recreational drugs. These prosecutors often use aggressive tactics to intimidate young people into accepting a plea deal, even though that might not be in their best interests. Consider the fact that drug charges can prevent young people from obtaining student loans, getting into the college of their choice or even obtaining a job. The stakes are quite high when it comes to criminal defense against even minor drug crimes.
No matter the nature of your drug crime, a team of experienced defense attorneys may be able to help. Defendants who are accused of possessing marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine and even drug paraphernalia may benefit from our attorneys' expertise. All defendants deserve to have their legal rights protected while they are being prosecuted for drug crimes. For more information, please take a few minutes and visit our drug crimes webpage.

Authorities say that the defendant pleaded guilty to poaching. This was his fourth conviction. News reports show that the man received a 75-day jail sentence in 2011 for a poaching conviction after he was found with more than 500 ginseng roots. Later that year, he was found with nearly 200 roots, for which he received a 120-day sentence.]]> The American ginseng roots are apparently highly prized in international markets, as they are used to make a health-related tonic. Park officials say that the plant is increasingly endangered by poachers in the Smoky Mountain range, and the species may actually become extinct if it continues to be illegally harvested. Ginseng can fetch about $200 per pound on the open market. Park employees say they have recovered many of the viable roots, but they estimate that only about half of them will survive when transplanted back into the wild.
This case demonstrates the serious nature of crimes that are committed on federal lands. The defendant in this case pleaded guilty to the charges, so he will spend just five months in custody -- but his criminal history definitely influenced the sentence. Criminal defendants accused of federal crimes may be subject to harsher penalties for their alleged violations, depending on the nature of their criminal record.

It is widely recognized that an adult who takes a sexually explicit photograph of a young person should face criminal charges, especially if that image is shared through social media or other tech venues. Most people would agree that the adult had violated a child pornography statute. However, would you say the same about a teenager who takes illicit self-photographs and then sends them to another teen in a private conversation? What about those teens who forward the picture to others without their permission?]]> Legislators in North Carolina and other states are struggling to answer these questions. Minors are currently being prosecuted under existing child porn and sex crimes statutes for lack of a better legal definition. These minors are facing prosecution even if the photograph exchanges are consensual. One complication: If the racy photo appears in other arenas -- such as a public social media site -- child porn laws should technically still apply.
State politicians are working to close loopholes that would allow tech-savvy offenders to get away with sex crimes. In the process, though, some innocent or uneducated tech users could get swept up in the mix. Those defendants -- many of whom may be unaware that their devices even contain child porn -- deserve to have their legal rights protected, no matter the sex crimes allegations they face.

RALEIGH, NC - Kevin Marcilliat, criminal defense attorney with the Roberts Law Group, successfully defended a client charged with Driving While Impaired (DWI) in Wake County, ultimately securing a not guilty verdict after a trial in Wake County District Court.
Mr. Marcilliat's client was charged with DWI by officers from the Wake Forest Police Department after a traffic stop for failure to come to a full and complete stop.]]> The officers noted an odor of alcohol on the defendant's breath, confirmed that he had a few drinks that night, and promptly asked him to exit the vehicle to perform standardized field sobriety tests. The evidence showed that the defendant did not display any slurred speech or other outward signs of impairment, that he performed well on field sobriety tests, and that his driving was safe and lawful other than a "rolling stop" at the stop sign. The state also presented evidence that, post-arrest, the defendant registered a .08 breath alcohol concentration on the Intoxilyzer device.
Mr. Marcilliat argued that there was insufficient evidence of impairment to sufficiently corroborate the .08 breath alcohol concentration. The court agreed, finding that the defense had raised reasonable doubt as to whether the defendant was impaired.
Contrary to popular belief, evidence of a defendant's BAC being at or above .08 does not mandate a North Carolina court to find the defendant guilty of DWI.
In State v. Narron, 193 N.C. App. 76, 666 S.E.2d 860 (2008), the North Carolina Court of Appeals made clear that the phrase in North Carolina's impaired driving statute stating that the "results of a chemical analysis shall be deemed sufficient evidence to prove a person's alcohol concentration," did not create a presumption of guilt, but rather constituted mere prima facie evidence of the defendant's alcohol concentration.
In other words, once the state properly admits into evidence a defendant's alcohol concentration at or above .08, that simply authorizes the jury to find that the defendant was impaired - it doesn't require it. As noted by a North Carolina School of Government article on the same subject, defense attorneys can successfully argue that the lack of evidence that the defendant was impaired "casts doubt on the veracity of the alcohol concentration results reported from the chemical analysis."
For more information about the lawyers of Roberts Law Group, visit their attorney profiles. The attorney who worked this case, Kevin Marcilliat, defends clients charged with DWI, drug offenses, and property crimes, among others, in state and federal courts throughout North Carolina.

Potential felony charges require prosecutors to submit evidence to an impartial group of citizens who are known as a grand jury. The grand jury may call witnesses to testify, and evidence will be presented to support the prosecutor's case. An outline of the case is also provided. The grand jury will vote to determine whether enough evidence exists to charge the individual with the crime. Grand juries can either recommend the case for prosecution or decide not to charge the defendant based on the evidence.]]> Grand juries are required by the Constitution when certain types of federal crimes are being considered. The grand jury consists of a group of 16 to 23 members, and the proceedings are closed to the public. At least 12 of the grand jurors must agree that prosecution should continue in order for an indictment to be issued. Keep in mind that the federal grand jury system is not commonly used for federal misdemeanor charges.
If a defendant is formally charged by the grand jury, the legal process will continue into a series of hearings for entering pleas and eventually heading to a trial if necessary. Defense attorneys can provide valuable information for defendants as they traverse the legal system. The use of a criminal defense team can help improve the chances of a favorable legal outcome for the defendant.

Authorities say that the defendant had been operating a large sex trafficking ring in Charlotte for about three years when he was arrested in November 2013. The man as accused of using websites to recruit local girls -- some as young as 16 -- to his sex-for-pay scheme. He allegedly promised the girls that they would be included in a family and enjoy a generally better life.]]> Instead, it appears that the defendant mistreated the young women, even going so far as to kidnap and brutally beat one of the girls in his operation. He was accused of shoving that girl in the trunk of his vehicle, transporting her to his home and restraining her before assaulting her. That young woman was eventually able to escape, and she sought help at a nearby home. The defendant was accused of intimidating witnesses into submitting false information about the kidnapping.
Sentencing has still not occurred in this matter. The defendant could receive a life sentence in prison if convicted -- the statutory maximum. Federal defendants are not afforded the possibility of parole, and they only qualify for modest reductions in sentences because of good behavior. Those accused of federal crimes should take such factors into account when choosing to pursue a jury trial over a plea agreement.

In fact, the man had already been convicted for crimes that took place in Missouri, back in 2009. At that time, his conviction indicated that he was guilty of sexual misconduct, a felony charge, that involved a minor who was under the age of 15.]]> The most recent incidents took place both in 2013 and in February of this year. The list of convictions started with charges for indecent liberties, and they also involved a child, though the age was not listed. He was charged with sexually exploiting someone who was still a minor, a third degree charge.
It appears that the man had not told authorities that he was living at a new address, as he was required to do since he had been convicted in the past. He had also gone in an area that was designated for children, which is not permitted due to that prior conviction. All of these charges are felonies.
There is a chance that he could be in prison for as many as 41 months, with 26 being the minimum. He is also going to have to add his name to the North Carolina Sex Offender Registry, where it will stay for the rest of his life.
Regardless of the alleged crimes, everyone has a right to a fair trial, and they also deserve to get a sentence, if convicted, that is deemed to be just in accordance with applicable laws and legal precedents.

Prosecutors accused my client of acting in concert with a man who stuck a gun out the front passenger window of the car and fired shots. The people he aimed for scattered. You can see that on videotape. In the end, a man lay dead.
It was an assassination, under the prosecution theory.
My client drove the getaway car, they claimed.
He didn't pull the trigger, but he drove his friend who had the gun who pulled the trigger. It looked as though killing a man was the plan all along.
In the recorded interview with a detective shortly after the shooting, you can see two big problems facing my client: He knows he isn't guilty but he's holding back to protect his friend.
My client had the option of taking a plea but refused. He wanted trial. He risked his entire life for that not-guilty verdict.
I don't know what I would've done in his shoes.
You never know what might happen. It could just as easily have come out the other way-GUILTY-but it didn't. I managed to convince the jury to side with my client rather than the state.
At the Trial Lawyers College, I learned something about empathy. I learned how to get at the story behind someone's behavior. In this case, I stressed to the jury the truth behind my client's emotions in that interview room with the detective.
In that room, at that time, he was only 19. He was scared. He didn't want to admit to anything but also didn't want to get his friend in trouble.
He also said he had nothing to do with the shooting.
The jury believed him - believed in the argument we presented and in my client's innocence, and for that my client will no doubt be grateful all the years of his free life.]]>

annabel has some nits...
But there is one existentially scorching brand of humiliation that towers above all, and it owes its existence to the animal kingdom.
I speak, with grim and recently acquired expertise, of the Adult Nit Infestation.
Getting nits as an adult is quite different from getting nits as a child.
When you are a child, you genuinely don't care.
And to the extent that you do, in any event, you will in all likelihood be absolutely satisfied with the assurance that "head lice prefer clean hair".
(When I was a kid, I completely accepted this claim, filing it unquestioningly among other fascinating oddities from the natural world, like migrating eels, or the thing where in seahorse families it's the dad who gets pregnant. As an adult, however, I recognise the clean-hair theory as a transparent piece of politically-correct propaganda. Why would a louse care whether hair is dirty or clean? And what choice does it have, anyway?)
As an adult, the discovery that one is harbouring an unspecified number of small scuttling insects in one's hair brings about a number of confronting results.
The first is the immediate collapse of about 200,000 years of evolutionary history. Sure, you might be able to calculate Pi to 300 places, hold your end up in a conversation about neoclassicism, or construct a croquembouche. But once you've got things living in your hair, you're starkly reminded that 99 per cent of your genetic code is pretty much straight-out bonobo monkey.

text: 000 FXUS65 KMSO 311013 AFDMSO Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Missoula MT 411 AM MDT FRI OCT 31 2014 ...SIGNIFICANT MOUNTAIN SNOWS ABOVE 4500 FEET THIS WEEKEND... .DISCUSSION...The lowest parts of the atmosphere remain quite saturated across the area this morning and thus fog and low clouds are expected to persist through much of the morning. Some reductions in visibility will be possible during the morning commute so please plan accordingly. The well-advertised upcoming storm system can be seen well off the West Coast this morning. Over the next twenty-four hours it is forecast to move inland and across northern California into northern Nevada. But beyond this point the track starts to become less certain. The NAM and ECMWF both continue to trend westward with the upper-level features and attendant heavy precipitation. This westerly track is also concerning since the models are subsequently bringing additional warm air into southwest Montana late Saturday afternoon, effectively keeping the snow level higher than previously forecast. Meanwhile, the GFS model is showing a weaker, faster moving storm (though with less of a westerly jog). It also appears to bring in more warm air Saturday afternoon into the early evening hours. Considering this agreement of the models, we have decided to start the Winter Storm Watch at 00z Sunday and have changed it to be for locations above 4500ft (which was where the previously issued watch was already focused). We have also adjusted the heaviest precipitation to be focused a bit more into west central Montana and along the Idaho/Montana border in accordance with the model trends. There is high confidence that snow will significantly impact travel on Lost Trail, Bannock, Lemhi and Lolo Pass. However confidence is a bit lower for Homestake and MacDonald Pass. Regardless of model, significant high mountain (above pass level) snow is still expected to pose a significant hazard to hunters and recreationists in the Bitterroot, Sapphire, Anaconda, Flint Creek, Mission and Swan Mountain Ranges. Heavier snow will quickly turn to lighter snow showers as this winter system moves east. Most of the precipitation will diminish Sunday evening as a weak ridge builds over the region through Monday. Next week will remain fairly cool, cloudy, and rainy at times as the Northern Rockies remains in a generally steady stream of moisture moving inland from the Pacific Ocean. While not every day is expected to be dreary, rainfall will be more common than sunshine, especially across NW Montana. Locations in south central Idaho such as Salmon and Leadore meanwhile will have a much lesser chance of precipitation. Snow levels look to be generally higher than this weekend`s storm, near pass level early in the week, then rising above passes by later in the week. && .AVIATION...Moist low-level conditions in the valleys will lead to patchy fog and low clouds this morning, causing reduced visibilities and periodic low ceilings at KGPI and KMSO. Conditions will begin to improve by mid-morning. Elsewhere, partly cloudy skies and light winds will continue. Light rain will be on the increase across far northwest Montana and north- central Idaho by this evening ahead of a winter storm arriving for the weekend. && .MSO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MT...WINTER STORM WATCH from Saturday evening through Sunday afternoon ABOVE 4500 FEET for the Bitterroot/Sapphire Mountains...Butte/Blackfoot Region...Potomac/Seeley Lake Region...West Glacier Region. ID...WINTER STORM WATCH from Saturday evening through Sunday afternoon ABOVE 4500 FEET for the Eastern Lemhi County... Southern Clearwater Mountains...Western Lemhi County. && $$

Courtney Love: Creeping Up on the Kardashians
Looks like Courtney Love started 2009 pretty much where she left off in 2008—lashing out at the Kardashian family via her MySpace blog.
The 44-year-old supposedly retired musician and obsessive celebrity blogger spent Christmas eve crafting a rambling online attack on Rob Kardashian. She issued another incoherent blast on New Year's Day, aimed at Kim and Khloe Kardashian, perplexingly titled, "peta etc whose that girl with the big boobies?/RICO statutes."
The rant [typos and grammatical errors preserved for flavor] begins, "is that 'kim kardashian' what does she do? does she have a boutique in Callabassas? thats a pretty ill considered move fiscally isnt it? one of my best friends the toughest mos long standing boutique owner in la, doesnt even own property, its gotta suck."
Love goes on to repeat her earlier claim—refuted by Team Kardashian— that Rob, 23, sucker-punched one of her gay employees at Hollywood nightclub Hyde: "per Rob Jrs latent homosexuality its recieved psychiatric wisdom that anyone that homophobic AND Mysoginitsic, is on some level a repressed homosexual."
The former Hole ma'am adds that she's contacted a few lawyers "fron Civil Rights to Lititgation" to address the alleged hate crime. For the time being, she'd "rather go deal with the mortgage fraud sitiuation wich has now grown to over 800,000,000 netted by the Estate Of Kurt Cobain and embezzled by a cospiracy of cpas , lawyer slash bankers and a few corrupt loan officers."
And then it gets weird. Like, "you have to see it to believe it" weird.
Say what you want about Courtney Love; the woman's not afraid to take a stand. Though, perhaps, at times, she should be.

The Beacon
A Proposition to Protect California's Parks
California's Parks System faced collapse last year and the picture for the coming years looks grim.
Enter Proposition 21, a statewide ballot initiative that offers hope to help ensure our 278 state parks and beaches stay up and running and our wildlife and marine resources are protected. Prop 21 establishes a stable, reliable and adequate funding source through an $18 increase in the California vehicle registration fee. These funds will be directly deposited into a State Parks and Wildlife Conservation Trust Fund and can only be used for operation of state parks and protection of ocean resources and wildlife.
This new funding source will help develop, operate, manage, and monitor the new network of marine protected areas being established along California's coastline. The protection of our rivers, lakes, streams, coastal waters and marine resources will be better achieved through the $20 million per year this new fund will accrue.
And there's a perk for Californians: All California vehicles will receive free vehicle admission, parking and day use in the State Park System.
Persistent underfunding of the State Parks and wildlife conservation has resulted in a backlog of more than a billion dollars in needed repairs and improvements. This backlog also threatens the closure of parks throughout the state and the loss of protection for many of the state's most important natural and cultural resources, recreational opportunities and wildlife habitat.
So if you're a resident of the Golden State, help preserve our natural resources and wildlife for future generations by voting Yes on Prop 21 on November 2.

EIA Trillion Dollar Monterey Shale Estimate Cut By 96%, US Shale Oil Cut By 2/3
steam_cannon (1881500) writes | about 5 months ago0
steam_cannon (1881500) writes "The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA.gov) is planning to release a major 96% reserve downgrade to the amount of oil and gas recoverable from the Monterey Shale formation, one of the largest oil/gas reserves in the United States. After several years of intensified exploration the Monterey oil shale play seems to have much less recoverable oil and gas then previously hoped. This is due to multiple factors such as the more complex rippled geology of the shale and over-hyped recovery estimates by investors. By official estimates the Monterey Shale formation makes up 2/3 of the shale reserves in the US and by some estimates 1/3 of all crude reserves in the US. Not a drop in the bucket. Next Month the EIA.gov will be announcing cutting it's estimates for Monterey by 96%. That's a huge blow to the US energy portfolio, trillions of dollars, oil and gas the US might have used for itself or exported. Presently the White House is evaluating making changes to US oil export restrictions so this downgrade may result in changes to US energy policy. As well as have a significant impact on US economy and the economy of California.

I have taken the advice of the very reliable sources on here and I purchased a Mosin-Nagant rifle 1943 arrow in the triangle version. I am extremely pleased with this purchase. I am going to buy as many as I can afford being limited on Soc. Sec. Disability income. I would like to know what any one would suggest I buy for ammo. I see that brass is better than steel but what is the difference or purpose for the different weights? 122 gr vs. 147 vs. 180. For long range shots what would be best? What is the reliable best distance as far as accuracy goes. Like, this rifle using a 147gr bullet is most accurate at 300-400 yards, info like that would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks, Funnelrider.
I shoot milsurp iin my MN's. I just plink w/ mine so no need for expensive ammo.
try starting a thread on the sig over in the semi-auto handgun subforum.
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
Do you break the gun down completely before you clean it?

text: Shouts & Murmurs January 11, 2010 Issue The Cursing Mommy Cooks Italian By Ian Frazier Table of Contents Credit ZOHAR LAZAR Chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop chop clatter chop skitter crash bang—FUCK! Stir stir stir stir stir stir stir stir stir stir stir stir stir stir stir stir stir stir stir stir skid bang skitter bang crash—SHIT! Hello. For those of you who don't know me, I would like to apologize for my brief outburst there at the beginning, but I am the Cursing Mommy, and occasionally I do blurt curses, break crockery, give people the finger, and hurl objects to the floor. Well, all I can say about that is, anyone who can make a Bolognese sauce and not get a bit flustered has my heartfelt admiration! I expect we've seen the last of that behavior today, however, as I turn to one of my favorite dishes, a delightful and relaxing seafood risotto in the Venetian style. Whipping up a risotto is a marvellous way to give a sense of occasion to an intimate dinner party, because of the careful timing that is required, and the pinpoint attention to detail right up to the moment of serving. If done correctly, every risotto will be unique, its own irreproducible concoction. That's the fun of a risotto, you see! In order to pull off this feat of cookery, the chef must be completely relaxed, and to that end I like to start with a robust Chianti such as I am pouring here, forestalling any necessity of immediate repouring by using an ample glass like this snifter-type thing in which my ten-year-old recently brought home two goldfish after some kind of a project at his school. (Don't ask me where the goldfish are.) A little more than halfway full should be fine. At some point in your past, all of you have no doubt been under pressure to prepare a dinner party in which everything is really special and "just so." As it happens, that is the very situation I find myself in tonight, when the party will be for only six—two other couples besides Larry and myself. The men are both clients of Larry's, and Larry, who is as a rule somewhat worried, anxious, and useless when it comes to almost anything, has been talking rather wildly about how he's going to be fired and we'll end up on the street. I know, and you know, that this is another of Larry's whiny manipulations that his mother was always dumb enough to fall for and I'm not, but, in any case, this dinner party seems to be sort of mandatory, which means the risotto had better be up to par. Now, you may ask, will Larry himself be around during the preparations for this important dinner party? Well, actually, no. Larry will not—beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep- As you see, when I set out to make a delightful seafood risotto à la vénitienne, I always like to get off on the right foot at the very beginning by HAVING THE FUCKING GODDAM SMOKE DETECTOR GO OFF!!! Fucking goddam piece of useless stupid garbage—what could have set it off? The steam from the fucking dishwasher? beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep- Thankfully, this is nothing I can't deal with, because I have learned in past encounters with this lousy piece-of-shit smoke detector that although I cannot turn the fucking thing off once it starts, because it is the ridiculous battery-less kind or something, all I have to do is stand on a chair, remove it from its ceiling-attachment thing, and take it down to the basement, as you observe me doing now. Then I simply place the smoke detector here in the corner, and bury it under an enormous heap of bedding near where my son has his TV. beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep- Ah, that's better. . . . No, it's not. Because, as I stand here once again in the kitchen, I notice that the stupid fucking smoke detector can still be heard. The sound is faint, but definitely still quite annoying, and enough to distract me, or any skilled cook, from the concentration necessary to pull off a high-maintenance dish like risotto. Luckily, though, I have just the solution for that: my Three Tenors CD, which I was planning to play anyway! I'll put on the Three Tenors, let them take me to sunny Sicily or wherever the hell, and drown the fucking smoke detector the hell out. Larry's new CD player, which I have already plugged into the kitchen outlet here—is there a CD already in it? why won't it open?—if I push this—no—fucking goddam stupid Larry can't even get a CD player that works—beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep- All right—you know what I am going to do? I'm going to drain off the last little bit that's left in my snifter, pour myself a nice big refill, imagine a lovely and relaxing tropical vacation scene, and scream "FUCK!" at the top of my lungs. Then I am going to go back down to the basement, get one of Larry's hammers, and "disable," as they say, the smoke detector. Meanwhile, I will leave some onions browning in a skillet here on the left front burner so as to have a head start on my risotto when I return. [Pause.] beep beep beep beep beep CRASH SMASH CRUNCH POP SMASH beep With that little detour behind us, we can now proceed to the preparation of the lovely bits of fresh seafood—the shrimp, squid, and snow crab—which we are going to add to the risotto when the time is right. I begin by giving the seafood a thorough cold-water rinse, like so, and then—beep be…e…e…p, bip— What was that? bee bee beep beep, bip, b'b'b'b', beeeeeeee. . . . Those of you who have followed this column for any length of time know that once in a while, at moments of extreme frustration, the Cursing Mommy gets so totally fucking fed up that she starts to scream curses, say what a stupid fuckhead that fuck Dick Cheney was, and generally let off a good cursing out all around. But now the Cursing Mommy is older and wiser, and she's not going to do that today . . . unless . . . what's that smell? Was that stupid smoke detector trying to tell me something? JESUS CHRIST, THE FUCKING BURNER UNDER THE ONIONS HAS SET THE PAPER TOWELS ON FIRE! OH, GOOD GOD! THE WHOLE FUCKING ROLL IS GOING UP! NOW THE CURTAINS ARE ALSO ON FIRE!! Oh, where's that fire extinguisher? Behind the basement door? Yes! Thank God! But what is this pathetic drizzle it's spraying? AHH! I'LL HAVE TO SMASH THE FIRE OUT WITH THE EXTINGUISHER ITSELF! smash smash smash shatter smash crash crush shatter smash [Pause.] After a vigorous session in the kitchen, I often like to relax and recharge by taking what I call a "mini vacation," as I'm doing now. I simply recline on my back on the kitchen floor with my feet in the bottom tier of my cookbook shelves, my head propped against the useless spent fire extinguisher, and a clean dish towel, moistened with cool water, across my forehead and eyes. Then I drift away in my mind to some far-off place and take some deep breaths to expel the remaining acrid and possibly toxic smoke from my lungs. Let Larry deal with this shit when he gets home. He can call Gianelli's for takeout and put it on whichever one of our credit cards still works. I'm not even going to think about it. I would look forward to a future when we will be living in our car if I thought it meant that then I wouldn't have to cook, but you know what? I will still have to cook. . . . O.K., I know people are coming. In just a minute I'm going to get up. beep…beep…beep…beep…beep Oh, what a fucking terrible day this has been. _______ Look for the Cursing Mommy's next column, "Get Out of My Fucking Lane, You Fuck: Defensive Driving Tips from the Cursing Mommy," which could be along pretty soon, depending. ♦ Ian Frazier is a staff writer at The New Yorker.
