The banality of mass destruction: A press release from the United States Air Force announcing that, oh, by the way, nuclear-capable bombers have been sent to the Korean Peninsula as part of an exercise. And why announce this? Well, just because... it's an efficient way to fortify the U.S.'s rhetorical commitment to South Korea and demonstrate resolve to North Korea:
Demonstrating the commitment of the United States and its capability to defend the Republic of Korea and to provide extended deterrence to our allies in the Asia-Pacific region, U.S. Strategic Command sent two B-2 Spirit bombers for a long-duration, round-trip training mission from Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., to the Republic of Korea March 28 as part of the ongoing bilateral Foal Eagle training exercise.
This mission by two B-2 Spirit bombers assigned to 509th Bomb Wing, which demonstrates the United States' ability to conduct long range, precision strikes quickly and at will, involved flying more than 6,500 miles to the Korean Peninsula, dropping inert munitions on the Jik Do Range, and returning to the continental U.S. in a single, continuous mission.

As Joe Concha reports on Mediaite, the media drumbeats are growing louder in the news media jungle, calling for Carol Costello to deliver an on-air apology when she returns to the CNN morning broadcast Monday. Various media critics, including the Washington Post's Erik Wemple (whose judgement is inherently suspect after pronouncing the smug and biased CNN anchorwoman "outstanding"), Fox's inconsistent Howard Kurtz, and even CNN's own Brian Stelter, have declared unacceptable Costello's vicious, personal, plainly partisan glee while introducing a tape of Bristol Palin giving her account of what she claimed as was a physical attack on her by a larger man. (Then there's me.) Concha concludes,
"Throw in the growing-in-popularity hashtag (#firecarolcostello) on Twitter, a CNN Should Fire Carol Costello Facebook page, and a boatload of hypocrisy after she called for an ESPN analyst (Stephen A. Smith) to be suspended for insensitive comments he made about women's abuse during the Ray Rice controversy, and you have an embattled anchor whose only option at this point is to ask for forgiveness on CNN (a mandatory two-week vacation afterward might not be a bad idea, either)."
As I explained at the time, Costello was wrong, and stupidly wrong, about Smith, as indeed she is wrong with remarkable frequency, and annoying even when she isn't. Hypocrisy is only a small sliver of her problem, and no apology will cure what her gratuitous attack on Palin's daughter reveals beyond question. She can express contrition to Bristol, but again, it doesn't matter: her words, and the fact that she was unable to restrain herself sufficiently to avoid saying them on the air prove that she is unacceptably biased for a journalist. So great is her partisan hate that she takes glee in bodily harm being inflicted on the children of a popular conservative figure. So alien to Costello are the values of professionalism, fairness and respect for her viewers that she actually said, on the air, that her favorite part of the tape was the part where Palin said she had been called a cunt.

The city of West Point wants residents to be careful putting up signs and digging holes.
West Point Chief Administrative Officer Randy Jones said that West Point and Clay County residents should know that putting up yard sale signs anywhere but their own property is illegal.
ŌĆ£These yard sale signs are really a pain,ŌĆØ Jones said. ŌĆ£We certainly like for people to have yard sales but technically youŌĆÖre only supposed to have two a year, and weŌĆÖre not having flea markets in peopleŌĆÖs front yards.ŌĆØ
Jones said the worst part is that those who put the signs up rarely ever come back to take them down.
ŌĆ£TheyŌĆÖll stick a sign up for a sale on Friday or Saturday and it will still be there three weeks later,ŌĆØ Jones said.
Jones said the signs undermine the hard work of the West Point Public Works Department in maintaining parks and walkways.
West Point Code Enforcement Officer Jeremy Klutts said that signs on power poles and telephone poles are hazardous for linemen.
ŌĆ£People put the signs on light poles with nails or staples,ŌĆØ Klutts said. ŌĆ£The guys from West Point Water and Light have to climb the poles and itŌĆÖs very hazardous for them.ŌĆØ
Klutts said the city hasnŌĆÖt cited anyone for putting up signs yet.

No sooner have the words escaped your lips than a harsh, buzzing drone fills the air. A honeybee crawls from the drain of the sink, followed by another, and soon a huge cloud of them swarms around you. The swarm coalesces into a roughly humanoid figure, a horrible parody of a man, formed from a densely-packed swarm of hovering, buzzing bees. A mouth-like hole opens in the figure's "head", and the droning of the swarm modulates into a harsh, grating voice: "We are Bees. We hate you."
Dang, man. You couldn't've summoned Beetlejuice instead? At least he was funny.
Hit Message(s):
It punches you with a fist made of bees. It stings! Eek! Ow! Oof! Ow! Ouch! Oof! Ooh! Eek! Ooh! Oof!
The swarm grabs you in a beehug, which is like a bearhug but pointier. Ouch! Eek! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ow! Ouch! Ooh! Ugh! Ooh!
The swarm of bees envelops you, stinging viciously from all sides. Ugh! Ugh! Argh! Ow! Ouch! Ugh! Ow! Argh! Oof! Argh!
The guy made of bees charges you. Man, this thing must weigh as much as The Hulk! Ugh! Oof! Ouch! Argh! Ow! Ugh! Oof! Ow! Eek! Ow!

on social media and the future…
"The things that will last on the internet are not owned. Plain old websites, blogs, RSS, irc, email."
3 years and going, and still our fruits and veggies in MA are often from CA! "If You Think the Water Crisis Can't Get Worse, Wait Until the Aquifers Are Drained" http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/08/140819-groundwater-california-drought-aquifers-hidden-crisis/
Filed under erik-green, food, food and farming, future, futuresafe, globalization, green, water
In upcoming years you will be hearing more and more about how climate change and global weirding changes what kind of houses we build. Issues that come to mind based on my own experience living in houses in New England for a few years now:
1. downpours — more and more we get rain in extreme events. No rain for a long time, the a downpour where it rains 2 inches per hour. Implications include inadequate gutters, more people wanting to store roof runoff for lawns/gardens.
"The Northeast has experienced a greater recent increase in extreme precipitation than any other region in the U.S.; between 1958 and 2010, the Northeast saw more than a 70% increase in the amount of precipitation falling in very heavy events (defined as the heaviest 1% of all daily events)."
–the regional Northeast report from the National Climate Asssessment in 2014
2. tornados — it is becoming a common occurrence that we get storms with tornados. I am not sure what that means for home design, but probably something. hurricanes too will probably be more likely, which combined with general sea level rising means it's getting a little crazy to live on the coast.
3. snowstorms — I believe I've read that over the next few decades that precip (including snow) will be above average. Combined with events like the "polar vortex" events that are also happening more (due to shifts in the artic) then this means that we will likely have more and more periods with deep snowpack — weeks where it snows, stays cold, snows again, stays cold, etc. So the amount of snow on roofs will pile up and we'll have to deal more and more with roofs collapsing and ice dams.
4. heat — more and more we get very hot weather and it doesn't cool off at night, which means for miserable sleeping if you don't have AC and/or ventilation in each room. All sleeping rooms (especially) need ventilation air directly in the room. Otherwise (in my direct experience) what happens is the house thermostat might be set at 77 or 78 (typically comfortable in summer clothing) but the bedrooms will get warm when the doors are closed and there are bodies giving off heat, making the room warmer.
We have experienced this both in our traditionally insulated home and our superinsulated home in spring and summer.
What am I forgetting?

ALQUIST: It was a crime to make robots.
HARRY DOMIN: No, Alquist, I don't regret that even today.
ALQUIST: Not even today?
HARRY DOMIN: Not even today – the last day of civilization. Was it a crime to shatter the servitude of labor, the dreadful and humiliating labor that man had to undergo? Work was too hard. Life was too hard. And to overcome that -
ALQUIST: Was not what the two Rossums had in mind?
HARRY DOMIN: It's what I had in mind.
ALQUIST: How well you succeeded! How well we all succeeded. For profit, for progress, we have destroyed mankind.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — LAST June, in an interview with Adam Bryant of The Times, Laszlo Bock, the senior vice president of people operations for Google — i.e., the guy in charge of hiring for one of the world's most successful companies — noted that Google had determined that "G.P.A.'s are worthless as a criteria for hiring, and test scores are worthless. … We found that they don't predict anything." He also noted that the "proportion of people without any college education at Google has increased over time" — now as high as 14 percent on some teams. At a time when many people are asking, "How's my kid gonna get a job?" I thought it would be useful to visit Google and hear how Bock would answer.

They were caught on camera the night of February 16. Mysterious lights that appeared in the sky over the 150 acres that Rainer and Edith Shattles call home in the Cumbest Bluff area of Jackson County. Were they a phenomenon that's simple to explain, or something else? The timeline of the pictures is clear. At 7:24pm, deer appear and all is normal. At 7:29, a dim light appears. At 7:35, it gets brighter. Then at 7:53, a weird shape appears on the camera. The deer are lit up brightly, but how? The cameras are infrared and don't emit light. At 7:56, another sharper light appears, then it gets much closer, seemingly focused on the deer. It looks like headlights, but well off the ground and there is no road. It then flies away.
"These countries are not monolithic, there are forces fighting the corruption and there are forces that have totally been co-opted…The group that's behind the network of control are the Jesuits, and there are also some groups behind them. One of these groups are hominids, they're not human beings. They are very smart, they are not creative, they are mathematical. They have elongated skulls, they may produce offspring in mating with female humans, but that offspring is not fertile. We live in a world of secret societies, and secrets, and the information that ought to be public is not public."
Many car manufacturers are projecting that by 2025 most cars will operate on driveless systems. How can such systems be designed to accommodate the complicatedness of ethical and moral reasoning? Just like choosing the color of a car, ethics can become a commodified feature in autonomous vehicles that one can buy, change, and repurchase, depending on personal taste. Three distinct algorithms have been created - each adhering to a specific ethical principle/behaviour set-up - and embedded into driverless virtual cars that are operating in a simulated environment, where they will be confronted with ethical dilemmas.
Children from infant, secondary modern & comprehensive schools apply methods of contemporary music, including demonstrations of simple tape & electronic techniques. The children discuss with teacher how different sounds may be produced and experiment with electric circuits and loops on the tape recorder.

Single mother Denise Lescano, from Florida, US, is a much needed support for parents of children who show worrying signs of having a sixth sense. Denise uses her psychic abilities to 'speak to' the spirits and instructs families on how to approach life beyond death. Denise, who believes she has been psychic since the age of nine, said: "My biggest mission in life is to get rid of the fear around what I do. This is not a scary thing, this is a very healing and comforting thing." Often Denise is called to determine whether youngsters are seeing spirits or displaying signs of mental illness: "Sometimes the parents don't know how do deal with their children's abilities."

In an op-ed, Representative Jason Smith (R-Mo.) explains how the UN Arms Trade Treaty infringes upon the right to keep and bear arms.
Since the shooting attack at Colorado's Arapahoe High School last Friday didn't fit the media's narrative, the story rapidly disappeared from view.
Sheriffs' refusal to enforce unconstitutional federal gun control measures has garnered national media attention.
On the anniversary of the Newtown school shooting, President Obama is making a push for stricter gun control regulation.
Bells ringing over the weekend in memory of Newtown will likely fail to galvanize much anti-gun fervor, at least for the moment.
An exposé by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (still known as ATF) engaged in rogue tactics to go after guns on the street, including exploiting the mentally ill, purchasing weapons at extremely high costs, and allowing minors to smoke marijuana and drink.
On December 3, the House of Representatives passed a bill banning the manufacture, possession, and sale of plastic guns. So overwhelming was the support for the measure that the rules were suspended and it was passed by voice vote.
One of the key ATF whistleblowers who exposed the "Fast and Furious" plot to arm Mexican drug cartels just provided additional insight into the deadly game plan.
In an arbitrary ruling, a U.S. district judge has determined that 54 Colorado county sheriffs have no standing to join a lawsuit stating that two recent state laws violated the Second and 14th Amendments.
Political expediency and pressure from the Democrat party forced Colorado State Senator Evie Hudak to resign rather than face a recall election.

Topics: Health Reform, Delivery of Care
Nov 23, 2010
CQ HealthBeat: Accountable Care Organizations were "given a boost" under the health care law "but they must be carefully structured to get the job done, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission said Monday. … The commission said in a letter to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that in order to work, ACOs can't simply be given bonus payments if they meet goals for controlling costs and improving quality. They must also pay for some of the overruns if they exceed the spending target they are given. The letter adds that ACOs could also help Medicare patients 'receive more coordinated care and become more engaged with their care management, particularly if beneficiaries are informed when they are assigned to ACOs'" (Reichard, 11/22).
Knoxville News Sentinel: "The health reform law encourages accountable care organizations, or ACOs, as a way to improve the quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries and reduce unnecessary costs. … ACOs expand the concept of a patient-centered medical home to include not only a primary care practice but hospitals, specialists and other health care professionals who are ultimately held accountable for the cost and quality of care delivered. ... Summit Medical Group, East Tennessee's largest primary care physician group, intends to pursue the establishment of an ACO. … Summit is investing millions of dollars in systems, resources and infrastructure that its physicians believe will improve care coordination and result in an improved clinical outcome, improved patient experience and an improved financial outcome" (Harrington, 11/23).

Further proof of how far Lindsay Lohan has fallen: The quality of her feuding partners has dropped precipitously. Back when she was still employable, the rock bottom-seeking starlet would unleash her wrath on the likes of Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Simpson and Hilary Duff, with whom she once duked it out for the affections of Aaron Carter (oh, that was such an innocent time).
Now, she's reduced to being called names by Canada's contribution to punk lite, Avril Lavigne, who recently had the f-word tattooed on her rib cage. Klassy.
RELATED: See more pics of Lindsay
Word is, the epic battle took place at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont, Lindsay's home away from home, and it began with a simple salutation.
"Avril was at a table with friends just over a week ago including her boyfriend, Brody Jenner, when Lindsay came over to say hi," an eyewitness tells the New York Post. "But as soon as she approached, Avril launched at her and said, 'Get the hell out of my face, you are fake, you are a loser. I don't like false people. Stay away from me and my friends.'"
The insults apparently sent the functionally-challenged LiLo into a rage blackout.
"Lindsay was furious and screamed back, 'Don't threaten me!' She then stormed off to security and tried to get them to kick Avril out," recounts the spy. "They refused to force Avril to leave. Lindsay eventually stormed off."
Guess the Chateau realizes which one of them is more likely to make good on her bill.
RELATED VIDEO: Lindsay to play a porn star?
What started the bad blood boiling?
Seems that Lohan cold-shouldered Avril at a shindig a few days before, so when she attempted to hang with the popster and her pals at the Chateau, the move wasn't well-received.
"It seemed like she was just being friendly to Avril because she was with people Lindsay wanted to impress," explains the suspiciously well-informed source. "Avril is avoiding going to the Chateau Marmont when she knows Linsday will be there. She doesn't want any more drama."
RELATED: Lindsay: I don't know why I'm a target
Lohan, as she's done for her entire adult life, isn't taking any responsibility for the alleged incident, insisting to Gossip Cop, "This is so lame and untrue."

Gwala: The recovery of millions of ounces of gold from old West Rand mine dumps is poised to get the go-ahead.
Creamer: This is like Ergo 2. Remember Ergo 35 years ago on the East Rand, the shareholders are still smiling from the billions of rands that they managed to get out of recovering gold, uranium and even sulphuric acid from those mine dumps.
There is a lot of value in them and now they are looking to the west. Why not do this on the west where we have the major there, which is Gold Fields linking up with relatively mid-tier company Gold One, which is now Chinese-controlled.
They are studying the possibility of actually combining the efforts to mine together. That will take up 60% of the dumps on the West Rand the remaining 40% is left with AngloGold Ashanti.
Perhaps AngloGold will also come in to it in time because one of the secrets of doing this is to turn this gold recovery into a veritable factory. You need a big volume of dump material coming through and that's when your unit costs go down and your profits go up.
As I say, the people that were investors in Ergo, 35 years ago and beyond, they are still smiling and we still see DRDGold, which took over from the big Anglo American on the East Rand continuing to get good value out of the dumps on the East Rand. Now, hopefully they will do the same on the West Rand.
Gwala: The government is going all out to halt South Africa's deindustrialisation and set the country on a new path of reindustrialisation.
Creamer: Critical for us to increase our industrial footprint. We had a very big industrial footprint in South Africa, which shrunk considerably and now they are trying to rebuild it. You need some government intervention to get things going.
They are staring off here with this Preferential Procurement Act, the regulation of which became effective late last year, so that they can actually designate products that must be made here. In other words, the government won't buy these products unless they are made in South Africa, which gives you a starting point.
The designated products, there is a long list of them, but I can say power pylons, trains, buses, set-top boxes. In other words, when they buy those, they must have a local manufacturing content. That is the stipulation for the purchase.
This in a way gives comfort to local manufacturers, they can then start investing, because they know that there is going to be a big purchaser in the form of the government. Then there has been an accord with 84 big companies, so the government is saying that they must not only do this on their own, we must go in to the private sector.
They had this accord last year where all parties to this accord including the 84 of South Africa's largest companies, are saying that they will do their best to procure from these local companies. Then you get that multiply affect. We know that there are other competitive juices that must flow, of course.
We see China in a very good position because they don't allow their currency to float and in a way by not allowing their currency to float, they have an artificially low currency. This gives them tremendous competitiveness and they look good even when they are not really that good. A little country like South Africa floats it currency, it bobs around like a cork on a big ocean, which is very tough for the local manufacturers.
You need a competitive rand and you also don't need the government to say that they will only buy South African because that can make people lazy. So, in this legislation, they can also undesignate. If they find that there are no competitive juices in these products that they have designated as being locally manufactured, they can undesignate that to create the competitive situation.
They are trying to keep the competitiveness in it, so they have been thinking about it quite extensively. They are getting backing from manufactures. There are other constraints like the electricity price constraint and also maybe with the toll roads it also has an impact on manufacturing competitiveness.
Gwala: It is such a complex issue especially with the exchange rate, for instance, there are so many views and how do you balance and get a competitive rate that satisfies everyone.
Creamer: This is amazing that there has been 18 Mining Indaba's. It has been a huge success story. Foreign investors came in and they created this and chose Cape Town as the place to have the African Mining Indaba. Every year more and more people arrive from all over the world.
There are 45 different countries being represented this year, 30 government delegations will come down and about 6 500 people. You can almost see the tangible deal doing.
When you go there you know that people have arrived who need money and you know that people are there with money. You can see this intensive engagement that leads to long-term investment, of course.
They take decisions in principle there to work together, they go and do their studies and billions of rands have gone in to investment in Africa as a result of the interface at the Mining Indaba in Cape Town. Now we see the word Indaba beginning to migrate.
We are starting to export the term Indaba, because this same group now from this year will have an Asian Indaba and that will take place in Singapore late in October. We can see that the success has been so great that they even are able to export this name and try and re-create the same sort of atmosphere in Singapore and Asia with the Asian Indaba.
Gwala: Well together with the name we would like to export some finished products as well. Thanks very much. Martin Creamer is publishing editor of Engineering News and Mining Weekly, he'll be back with us at the same time next week.

THURSDAY, Nov. 1 (HealthDay News) -- After transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) there is no increased risk of bleeding or other adverse outcomes for those patients who have an indication for anticoagulant therapy, according to a study published online Oct. 29 in The American Journal of Cardiology.
Filippo Figini, M.D., of the S. Raffaele Scientific Institute in Milan, and colleagues conducted a retrospective study using data from 360 patients who had undergone TAVI to examine the best antithrombotic approach. Anticoagulant therapy was indicated for 16.7 percent of participants, primarily due to atrial fibrillation. After clinical evaluation of thrombotic and hemorrhagic risk, 72 percent of these patients were discharged with warfarin plus a single antiplatelet drug. Their outcomes were compared to those of the 300 patients with no indication for anticoagulant therapy who were treated with dual antiplatelet therapy.
The researchers found that, during a median of 11 months of follow up, 15 percent of the study population died, and mortality did not correlate with antithrombotic regimen. The incidence of cerebral events (4.6 percent) and intracranial hemorrhage (1.1 percent) was low and was not significantly different between the groups. The bleeding rate was also similar between the groups.
"When anticoagulation is indicated after TAVI, many variables must be taken into account. The most frequent scenario in this study was patients in atrial fibrillation, most of whom were discharged with warfarin plus a single antiplatelet medication. When bleeding was a concern, especially in the absence of coronary disease, warfarin alone was prescribed," the authors write. "These results suggest that this approach is safe, but data from larger, randomized studies are needed."

Pets make awesome travel companions. Your huggable friends don't mind your poor eating habits; in fact, some will even help you finish the gas station burrito you dropped on the floor. They're also non-judgmental when it comes to your bland travel destinations and seem to be genuinely excited when you head to a large factory in Texas to see how gummy worms are made.
At the same time, traveling with a pet can be cumbersome. They get motion sickness, are needy ("Yes, for the 10th time, you're a good boy, Mr. Mittens. Here's another treat."), and not every hotel welcomes pets with open paws. That's why it's best to take extra precautions when traveling with your pets.
We've compiled a few tips with help from our friends at the Humane Society of the United States to ensure you and your furry best friend have a safe and comfortable trip.
• Put your dogs and cats in the backseat during car trips to avoid potential injuries should a passenger-side air bag deploy in an accident.
• Make sure the animal is wearing a collar and ID tags at all times. Your name, address and telephone number should be on the tags.
• Place cats in a car carrier that's secured using the vehicle safety belt. Use restraining harnesses for dogs. Both can be found at most pet stores.
• Do not allow dogs to stick their heads outside the window. They can ingest dirt and other debris this way, or become sick by inhaling too much air. Dirt and debris can also get in their eyes, ears and nose, causing injury and infection.
• Do not let your pet ride in an open truck bed.
• Avoid leaving pets unattended in cars. On warm days, temperatures can rise to dangerous levels in minutes, even with the window opened slightly.
Pets can experience motion sickness, just like humans. Give your pet a light meal two to three hours before you leave, keep feeding to a minimum during travel, and take along ice chips, which are easier on animals than large amounts of water. With dogs, stop frequently for exercise and a bathroom break.
Be sure to bring food, bowls for food and water, bedding, a leash, a waste scooper and plastic bags, grooming supplies, any medications, treats and toys, litter and litter box for cats, and first aid supplies like bandages and ointments. Always carry a current picture of your dog or cat.
OnStar can help you find pet-friendly hotels, veterinary clinics and pet supply stores along your way. Just push the blue OnStar button and tell the Advisor what you need. For instance, if you're traveling with your iguana or other exotic pet, there are four hotels in New York City that allow most pets — from dogs to reptiles, and everything in between. There are also a slew of boarding houses and pet hotels (although most just accept dogs) scattered about the country.
You and your pet can also bond on this road trip with a little help from OnStar with 4G LTE.1 Stream your pet's favorite music2 and movies right to the vehicle with 4G speed. That should keep them occupied until you reach your next destination.
How do you and your pets bond on the road? Where was the last place you took your pet? Is it a drive to the coast or to the corner store? Whatever it is, we want to hear from you.
1 Visit onstar.com for vehicle availability, details and system limitations. Services and connectivity may vary by model and conditions. 4G LTE service available in select markets. Some services require data plan.
2 Requires Wi-Fi compatible device to stream music into the vehicle.]]>

With Azerbaijan's prisons increasingly full of government-detractors, it might have seemed to many only a matter of time before Azerbaijani prosecutors would again focus on Khadija Ismayilova, a prominent journalist known for her exposés of government corruption. Speaking from Strasbourg, Ismayilova told EurasiaNet.org that she expects to be arrested on October 3, upon her return home to Baku from a trip to Europe.
Ismayilova received a court summons on charges of criminal libel during this trip, travel intended to relay what is widely seen as a wholesale crackdown on civil society in the energy-rich, ex-Soviet republic. An award-winning RFE/RL reporter who also has worked for EurasiaNet.org, Ismayilova needs to appear in court the day she returns to Baku.
"I will be arriving with a lawyer and my main lawyer will be waiting [in Baku]," she said.
Her trip was closely watched in Baku. At one human-rights talk in Warsaw, hosted by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, Ismayilova and several other participants, wearing t-shirts with the photos of Azerbaijani political prisoners, turned their backs on a presentation on human-rights issues, which, they charged, lacquered over ongoing repressions. Azerbaijan's government-linked media was quick to attack Ismayilova, claiming she was commanding a group of people from Armenia, the country's longtime foe.
Authorities in Azerbaijan are seeing red after a democracy-watchdog activist they jailed received an international award from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. Granting the Vaclav Havel prize for civil society activism to Anar Mammadli constitutes outside pressure on an independent state, Ali Hasanov, a key aide to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, declared on September 30.
In a familiar line, Hasanov attributed the award to contrivances by Azerbaijan's enemies. He said that such steps serve to "support the fifth column underwritten by certain foreign forces" [a frequent euphemism for enemy-neighbor Armenia] and that Azerbaijan is free to arrest those who violate the law. "It is quite obvious that certain organizations, acting behind the façade of human-rights advocacy, are not at all independent and follow very concrete instructions," he declared, the pro-government APA news agency reported.
Azerbaijan, however, currently chairs a committee within one of the "certain organizations," the Council of Europe, the continent 's main human-rights body, and the award put the CoE in an awkward place. (Azerbaijan holds the seat until November.) Many critics argue that the 47-nation forum is not the place for Azerbaijan, which recently has detained scores of journalists, civil-society leaders and activists who criticize the government.
The New-York-City-based advocacy group Human Rights Watch has called for Azerbaijan's tawdry track record on civil rights to cost Baku its membership in the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.
A worldwide club for companies, governments and civil-society groups which support publicizing information about revenues received from energy and mining operations, the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, known as EITI, puts public transparency at the center of its creed.*
For Human Rights Watch, however, that's the rub. Azerbaijan's increasingly frequent liking for prosecuting or harassing critical human-rights activists, youth-activists, opposition members and independent journalists does not signal a deep respect for transparency or good governance, the group argues.
"Azerbaijan is blatantly violating EITI rules, and EITI cannot afford to be complicit in this hypocrisy," charged senior business and human-rights researcher Lisa Misol in an August 14 statement.*
Azerbaijan, an EITI founding member, joined the movement in 2003, and was deemed compliant in 2009. Today, its State Oil Fund sits on the EITI board.
The movement has not yet responded publicly to HRW's criticism.
In its own response, Azerbaijan might be sorely tempted just to press the Play button on a pre-recorded rebuttal. Rarely a week goes by that the government argues that it's not violating the law in prosecuting activists and journalists, but upholding it.
Ex-British Prime Minister Tony Blair has come under fire for agreeing to help out an Azerbaijani gas pipeline designed to diversify energy resources in Europe.
There are controversies at both ends of the roughly 3,800-kilometer-long pipeline project, which involves three sections; first, stretching from Azerbaijan to Turkey; the second, from Turkey to Greece; and the final leg, from Greece to Italy. Tony Blair is advising this final segment, the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP).
In southern Italy, where TAP, is expected to make its landing, worries persist that the project will interfere with olive-growing and the mating of seals, as well as cause damage to the area's rich cultural heritage, The Guardian has reported.
At the Azerbaijani start of the line, critics charge that Blair's helping hand for TAP will only further enable Baku to crackdown on civil rights without fear of the international consequences.
Never a pinup for democratic reform, Azerbaijan has seen its human rights situation go from bad to worse of late with the authorities arresting critics right and left, and non-government flows of information feeling the pinch.
In the latest from Azerbaijan's ongoing series of arrests of government critics, an outspoken rights defender, Leyla Yunus, has been arrested, and accused of spying for enemy Armenia.
Yunus never made a secret of her attempts to promote peace with Armenia through civilian initiatives, but what some call citizen diplomacy, Azerbaijani prosecutors called treason. Prosecutors claimed Yunus, who chairs the Institute for Peace and Democracy, was visiting Armenia to impart sensitive information. Her husband, Arif Yunus, was also charged on July 30, but was released pending trial.
Earlier this year, Leyla Yunus spoke up vocally for another imprisoned alleged enemy of the state, journalist Rauf Mirkadirov. Police then detained the Yunuses at the airport and have withheld their passports since. Leyla Yunus has defied several subpoena requests, until she was remanded on July 30. Prosecutors now accuse Yunus and Mirkadirov of spying together for Armenia.
After toying with the idea of introducing jury trials, the Azerbaijani government now has dropped the initiative altogether, choosing to keep the court system to itself.
For a country that now chairs the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe, the continent's main human-rights body, that might seem a strange move. But government-supporters say they do not trust lay citizens' judgment in matters of law,. Critics counter that the government just doesn't want to let go of its grip on the judiciary system.
MP Ali Huseynli, representing the ruling Yeni Azerbaijan Party, allegedly sees jury systems as a Western thingamajigy that doesn't work in this former Soviet republic. "Jurors are mainly people who do not have a law education and, therefore, often they cannot make legal judgments," Huseynli commented as he and his fellow lawmakers axed the jury-amendment from a bill on courts and judges last week.
Prosecutors, he added, had advised against introducing the jury system.
Critics counter that the real issue is that juries and jurors would mean more work for prosecutors and more room for court independence. "The practice [of jury trials] would have ended politically motivated prosecutions of citizens on fabricated charges," commented lawyer Namizad Safarov, Contact.az reported. The jury-system proposal stemmed from the influence of international organizations, he added, calling the decision to ditch the amendment "another step away from democracy."
The Azerbaijani government has never been celebrated for its sense of irony. Yet even as it settles into its chair at the Council of Europe's Commission of Ministers and assures the world that it's got that democracy thing down pat, Baku appears to be busy cracking the whip.
Most recently, with a demand for lengthy prison sentences for three imprisoned civil-rights activists -- deemed political prisoners by international human-rights groups -- and by the May 19 arrest of three Jehovah's Witnesses.
How this jives with Baku's recent pledge to uphold rule of law and promote "intercultural dialogue" during its six-month CoE tenure is open to interpretation.
But perhaps Council of Europe Secretary-General Thorbjørn Jagland got the full story. Jagland spent May 20-21 in Baku for the official kickoff of an "action plan" intended to help Azerbaijan meet its CoE obligations and "address some fundamental human rights and rule of law issues," as the document states.
On May 21, prosecutors addressed those issues in their own way -- by requesting prison sentences of between six to nine years for civil-society activists Anar Mammadli, Bashir Suleymanli and Elnur Mammadov, charged, after critical monitoring of the 2013 presidential election, with alleged violation of NGO-registration rules and abuse of their official duties.
As it kicked off the final countdown to its chairmanship of the Council of Europe's Commission of Ministers, Azerbaijan on May 6 sentenced eight youth activists to lengthy jail terms for allegedly organizing mass disturbances and possessing narcotics and weapons.
The group, detained in 2013 after attempting to organize a protest, were sentenced to between seven to eight years in prison, RFE/RL reported. Their sentencing sparked clashes between supporters and police, two of whom could be seen carrying off a protester upside down in a photo posted on Facebook by sympathizers. Dozens allegedly were arrested.
Apparently seeing no irony in its choice of timing, Baku today also announced the priorities for its six-month CoE role, which starts on May 14. The official to-do list includes a few items championed as well by the imprisoned youth activists -- namely "the fight against corruption" and "education on human rights." Also included are the less controversial priorities of "social issues, [the] multiculturalism inherent in Azerbaijan and education. . ." according to the APA news agency.
Deputy Foreign Minister Mahmud Mammadguliyev announced.
Azerbaijan's arrest of a respected human-rights activist is fuelling fears that the country is pulling out all the stops on crushing dissent before it takes over the Council of Europe's Commission of Ministers next month.
Fifty-eight-year-old Leyla Yunus, who chairs the Baku-based Institute for Peace and Democracy, and her husband, Arif Yunus, were detained in the Baku airport late on April 28 as they were about to depart for Doha, Qatar.
The reasons for their detention were not made known, but, after an interrogation on April 29, investigators reversed course and released Leyla Yunus, Trend news agency reported. (Yunus' spouse earlier had been hospitalized with heart problems.) The similarly pro-government APA agency added, however, that her office would be searched anyway. The information has not yet been confirmed, but any memory of prosecutors' actions is not likely to fade away fast . In a video published by RFE/RL's Azeri-language service and widely distributed on Facebook, Yunus, who has 30 years of rights and peace advocacy behind her, was shown defying police officers after they searched her apartment. She claimed the police did not present her with a warrant, nor explain the reasons for her arrest.
Yunus said they would not let her use the bathroom after her detention and, when finally so permitted, a male police officer went in with her. "He followed me into the toilet and stood there watching me… get him on camera!" Yunus yelled, taking the individual's police hat and throwing it to the ground.
Imprisoned Azerbaijani youth activists and their mothers on April 24 entered the fifth day of a hunger strike intended to protest the activists' detention in prison, pending trial, for over a year.
"Our hunger strike is first of all an act of solidarity with our children, who are facing prison sentences," Kavkazsky Uzel news site quoted Sakina Qurbanova, whose son, Zaur Qurbanli and seven fellow young government critics, have been awaiting trial since last year. "This is a desperate move. Perhaps at least now the authorities hear our voice and they will put a stop to this injustice," Qurbanova went on saying.
The activists, most of them members of the NIDA (exclamation mark) civil rights movement, were arrested in 2013 on hooliganism, drug abuse and procession of firearms charges. Human-rights groups have dismissed the accusations, which are often levied against young dissenters in Azerbaijan. The prosecutors also accused the group of plotting an armed uprising -- another standard claim -- but the activists' supporters and lawyers maintain that the youths only planned a peaceful rally.
Amnesty International, a frequent critic of Azerbaijan, accused the Azerbaijani authorities of torturing the prisoners, inventing charges against them, and demanded the group's immediate release. On April 22, police dispersed a rally in support of the arrested activists.
Despite mounting concerns over their health, both the activists and their mothers pledged to continue their strike until the authorities drop their charges.
