BBC Panorama exposé of British Army death squad rescheduled
The British Army ran an undercover squad that operated outside the law, hunting down enemies of the state
THE BBC have said that the Panorama TV programme on a British Army undercover death squad – titled Britain's Secret Terror Squad – that mysteriously disappeared from Monday night's TV schedule without explanation was pulled while "new information" was sourced.
The programme promised:
"For nearly two years in the early 1970s, the British Army ran an undercover squad that operated outside the law, hunting down enemies of the state – with orders to shoot known terrorists on sight.
"For the first time in 40 years, three former members of this secret operation talk candidly about their role in Northern Ireland, which they believe saved lives. But reporter John Ware uncovers evidence that the unit may also have killed innocent civilians, fabricated statements and covered up its deeds."
Now the hour-long programme is expected to be screened in the New Year.

YouTube comes clean: Content rental is king

When Netflix was introduced into Canada, the major ISPs reduced the monthly caps ... of course, that was just a coincidence and nothing to do with these companies also dominating the cable/satellite and broadcast rights markets.
I doubt very much, as the right holders, these companies will ever allow YouTube's rental service to ever get a toe-hold in the Canadian market.

I'm not a big Microsoft fan .. I so wanted Ubuntu to be accepted in my household but it wasn't (and not because of GUI issues). Too many things didn't work properly and to fix each of them took too long trawling forums for contradictary advice and dropping down to CLI? No thanks.

Urr, WTF? You saying they should just tell the Daily Telegraph to "fuck off, its none of your business!"
I think this might actually be democracy in action ... it is the job of the media to watch over those we allow to rule over us.
Remember that these politicians operate under different tax rules to the rest of us (e.g. they managed to vote themselves a *tax free* 22k GBP expenses allowance. ) and even so, they still can't follow their own guidelines.
I'm so fucking angry about this .. they're a bunch of thieving crooks ... and then you come along trying to argue its a media witch-hunt. Fuck that!

Welcome to the Wollongong Diocese CCD Web site. The purpose of this site is to provide information to Parish Priests, Parish Coordinators, Catechists and any other people who are interested in the work of our organisation and the services that we provide to support this important work of the Church.
CCD is an important missionary work of the Catholic Church. In the Wollongong Diocese there are around 500 dedicated and generous volunteers helping to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to young people in Government Schools. This site is dedicated to them. Please feel free to browse the site and check out the links.

Diocesan Director CCD
Message from the Director

- Marilyn Ng,
I'd like to thank all of our experienced catechists for putting their hand up to be involved in delivering Special Religious Education (SRE) for Catholic families and students in Government Schools again this year. Thank you also, to the many new Catechists who have joined our ranks. We have been really pleased with the number of Catechists who have commenced in the ministry in 2014, with around 50 completing training in Wollongong, Campbelltown and Nowra. It has been wonderful to meet our new Catechists as they completed training throughout the term, and great to catch up with so many of you who attended the refresher courses for both Child Protection and Classroom Management in various locations around the Diocese.
The 2013 statistics of our coverage of SRE in Government Schools for our region were truly encouraging. The advent of Primary Ethics classes has had essentially no impact on the number of students who attend Catholic SRE in 142 Government Schools in our Diocese, and in 2013 our Catechists continued to see around 10,000 students each week. Just as pleasing has been a jump in the number of active Catechists. In the last 18 months we have seen a jump of just over 100 new active Catechists, with around 570 Catechists involved in this work weekly. That figure includes around 50 student Catechists from our Catholic Secondary Schools, who are working alongside our Parish Catechists. The number of Catholic Secondary Schools and students who want to get involved in this program of supporting your work is really exciting and CCD Wollongong looks forward to further growth in 2014-15 of this program.
At the start of the year, I briefed Parish Catechist Coordinators about the review of SRE that will be conducted by the Department of Education from September 2014. This is an opportunity for the Catholic Church as the major provider of SRE across NSW, to highlight the contribution Catechists make to families in NSW, by giving their sons and daughters access to Religious Education. It is a chance to highlight the wonderful contribution you make to the lives and holistic development of young people in Public Education. Importantly, providers of SRE would also hope to be given direction from this review, about how the delivery of SRE can be made even better.
No doubt, there will be those who will push for the removal of SRE from Public Education as part of this review. However, In the midst of that push, which is sure to be given significant media coverage, please be assured that the contribution you make to Public Education and Families who choose SRE is highly valued. Most importantly, do not underestimate the incredible impact you have on the lives of young people by giving them knowledge and understanding of the Gospel, the Church and the person of Jesus with whom they are drawn into relationship.
Prayer is powerful. Prayer makes a difference and allows grace to enter into difficult situations. Confident of this, I would ask each of our current and former Catechists, to continue to pray for the work of Catechists and for those who will represent the Church in this review of This is another jam packed issue of Catechist Net. There is much to be celebrated. I would ask that you take particular note of the process for obtaining and passing on to us your new Working SRE, throughout 2014. with Children Check number, that we are requiring every Catechist can now apply for. There are also some fantastic opportunities for formation and training coming up, with John Burland Music in-services and mid- year Catechist Retreat days. I look forward to seeing many of you at these days.
God bless,
Mr Jude Hennessy
Diocesan Director
CCD Wollongong
Record numbers attending Catechist Training!

- Marilyn Ng,
Despite the busyness faced by so many in our twenty-first century lives, people are continuing to vote with their feet by turning up to CCD training around the Diocese in record numbers.
Never before has the demand on our time been so great. Whether it's work, family, study, personal, community or Church commitments, it certainly is the exception to have a free day. It is because of this reality that we are continually pleasantly surprised and grateful to see Catechists, new recruits and seasoned veterans, turning up in droves to the training offered.
With the approach of the review into SRE by the NSW Government, Catechists have met new demands for ongoing training with enthusiasm and joy. Our Level 1 Catechist training commences with Child Protection and Classroom Management and we were pushed to our seating capacity! Over 100 Catechists enrolled and attended around the Dioceses. We never want to place more demands on Catechist's time than are necessary and so such a positive response is always a massive encouragement for us.
Level 1 Catechist Training, offered in full at the Xavier Conference Centre in Wollongong and Micah House in Campbelltown, finished in the last month and the truckload of certificates and awards have been sent to attendees. A big congratulations to all those who have completed the course!
We now look forward eagerly to Level 2 Training which will be commencing mid-July (see details below) at the same locations. Level 2 presents a perfect mix of the practical and the theological and, if previous attendees can be trusted (and they can), it is certainly worth your time.
Please contact Cindy on 4640 8550 to book in for any of the courses we have on offer!

Why should Republican politicians care about abortion or the desecration of marriage when our pastors, judging from their sermons, don´t?
Click Here if you Like this Comment 13 persons like this.
Sen Paul it is not your job to persuaded WTP as to any cange of laws. YOUR JOB is to make laws that WTP want, will uphold, and expect to see all the ´elites´ uphold as well. Laws are made for the country and its people. Not at the whimsey of a senator or two. You have attempted this same strategy with your amnesty theories. Just one reason Your vote from here is not a definite. This country is not yours to fundamentally change in any way, no matter how many are persuaded, if it is bad for America it should not be done.

perhaps one might mildly note that legalized abortion on demand did not come about as a result of "We The People", working through our elected public servants, enacting such laws.It was as raw a diktat by self-proclaimed House of Lords types on SCOTUS, who stuck us with that, as this nation has ever seen.Such a grant of power to SCOTUS is, by the way, NOWHERE to be found in the Constitution.The vile, evil, despicable creeps on SCOTUS who perpetrated this evil are now, I believe, roasting on a spit in Perdition next to Adolf Schicklegruber, Vladimir Ulyanov, Josip Broz Dzugashvili, and Benedict Arnold.

Award winning group set to perform on Imus in the Morning, Wendy Williams Show, Wake Up With Al, The Better Show and SiriusXM among others while in New York City
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 10, 2014) – Theirs is one of the most distinctive and recognizable sounds in the music industry. The four-part harmonies and upbeat songs of The Oak Ridge Boys have spawned dozens of Country hits and a Number One Pop smash, earned them Grammy, Dove, CMA, and ACM awards as well as garnered a host of other industry and fan accolades. Every time they step before an audience, the Oaks bring four decades of charted singles, and 50 years of tradition, to a stage widely acknowledged as among the most exciting anywhere. Music lovers will experience that excitement on April 15th when their first live album Boys Night Out is released on Cleopatra Records.
"When I go on stage, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge Boys," says lead singer Duane Allen. "This is the only job I've ever wanted to have."
"Like everyone else in the group," adds bass singer extraordinaire, Richard Sterban, "I was a fan of the Oaks before I became a member. I'm still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream."
From February 22 through March 1, The Oak Ridge Boys are at sea with about 400 fans, family, and friends aboard the Celebrity Reflection. I will try to somewhat chronicle the event on the following pages if I can stop eating long enough to type! (JSB)
The Celebrity Reflection is quite the boat. The ancient mariners could have never envisioned such a ship moving across the sea through the night with 3000 passengers eating and drinking and dancing and vacationing, while a crew of what must easily be another 1000 looks after and protects each one of us.
THIS is The Oak Ridge Boys' second Rally-at-Sea cruise. A weeklong trip that will take us to San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Thomas, USVI; and the incredible island of St. Martin, before returning to Miami.
The Boys will sing, fellowship, take pictures, and do our best to reward these folks who have spent a good deal of money to be here with us for a great Oak Ridge Boys experience. They will see sides of us rarely ever seen, and fun will abound… That is the plan, and we are up for it big time, as this wonderful cruise is a great respite for us, as well, from our grueling touring schedule.
But tonight I reflect a bit upon this first day. The checking in process and getting our bags and so forth are all behind us now and, after a welcome to the folks and a great dinner, I find myself a bit exhausted and in my cabin, gazing out upon the passing sea.
Tomorrow is a day "at sea," and we will perform a Gospel music flavored show in the early afternoon. But again… tonight? A good night's sleep and a bit of Reflection… no pun intended.
I am alone on this trip. My daughters, Jennifer and Sabrina, were with me last year and this time around my wife, Mary, was in the plan. But as we got closer she bailed on me. She is home tonight with the cats as I cruise across the Atlantic, and I must admit I am a bit lonely here sitting outside as the ocean passes beneath me.
Our new album BOYS NIGHT OUT LIVE will also be available on vinyl. Pre order your copy here!
LOS ANGELES, Ca. (January 24, 2014) – With a legacy that stretches across 6 decades, encompasses more than 41 million albums sold, and includes numerous iconic hit singles such as "Elvira," "American Made," and "Y'all Come Back Saloon," it's no wonder that The Oak Ridge Boys are one of the most popular live acts on the circuit today, packing fans in by the thousands and tens of thousands wherever they perform. What is surprising is that the Boys, renowned for their great live shows, have never released a full length, official hits concert album - that is, until now! Cleopatra Records will release Boys Night Out on April 15th, in three formats - CD, vinyl, and digital download - finally giving ORB fans the experience of the group's well-polished live performance for them to enjoy anytime, anywhere.
According to a January 14, 2014 news story by Mary Madewell in The Paris News (Paris, Texas), Lamar County officials have announced plans to name a bridge in honor of Oak Ridge Boys' lead singer, Duane Allen. At a ceremony to be held this spring, the bridge over the Big Sandy Creek on County Road 16590 (Taylortown, Texas) will be renamed in honor of Duane, who grew up nearby. "I'm humbled to the core, just blown away," Duane said in response to the announcement. "It's a small bridge, on a small road, in a small community, but it is where I grew up and it's a huge honor for me. It will be a fun day."
The Paris News also reported that the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame will induct Duane on August 9 of this year.

Magnetic 27-inch Pick-up Tool with Quick Release is the greatist
Just what I wanted, It worked great and was just as it said it was. Great for picking up nails or other metals in your yard. Loved it.
I use this tool to pick up all the screws and nuts and stuff off my shop floor and it really saves a lot of stooping. The magnet is strong enough to pick up about a big handful worth of material, and it all falls right off when you squeeze the handle. It's pretty top heavy, so it tips over easily, and the handle is not very comfortable or ergonomically designed. But it certainly works as advertised and has become an indispensable tool for keeping my shop neat and organized.
great for picking up the straight pins in my sewing/guest room. Also helped to find dropped screws when installing ceiling fan and light kit.
This was not as strong as I thought it would be. My husband uses a super magnet from an old computer that is stronger than this tool. It is good for nails and light metal, but did not pick up bolts. the release was a good feature though.

Happy Father's Day
I used Meljen's Designs Just Like Dad. Isn't he the cutest? I colored him with copics and colored pencils and then cut him out. I used my EK Success border punch for the "notebook" paper and added a little Tim Holtz Hinge Clip. I wrapped some twine and added a little button to finish my card. The sentiment is computer generated.

BLACKSTONE ŌĆö The hot and humid weather Tuesday was no hindrance to Lou Ryan as she made her way into the Municipal Center with her daughter, Sharon Finn, of New Hampshire, to vote in the special state election filling U.S. Senator John KerryŌĆÖs vacant seat senate.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō City police are weighing in on the debate over privacy and medical marijuana after making yet another arrest in a home invasion case that dates back months.
Joshua Gagne, 24, of 482 Park Ave., is the eighth individual charged in connection with the March 24 home invasion at 154 Park Ave., an address police now say housed an operation licensed to grow marijuana under the stateŌĆÖs medical marijuana law.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō The much ballyhooed $2.5 million supplemental tax bill thatŌĆÖs still dangling in limbo as the 2013 session of the General Assembly draws to a close could look unexpectedly palatable compared to what the Budget Commission has in mind as its go-to alternative.
If the supplemental dies, commissioners said Monday, theyŌĆÖll explore the possibility of raising an ŌĆ£administrative taxŌĆØ of $4.7 million, on top of regular 2014 taxes, in a manner that lawmakers already approved more than a decade ago.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö It was hot on Monday, up to 93 degrees in northern Rhode Island, and the weather was generating more concern for potential health impacts than a typical summer day due to higher than normal readings of ground level ozone.
CENTRAL FALLS ŌĆö Brutally hot outside temperatures and a fire and chemical spill inside a paint factory combined to cause a hazardous and uncomfortable scene for dozens of area firefighters on Monday.
Firefighters responded to the five-alarm blaze at around 11:30 a.m. at General Polymer Inc., an industrial paints and coatings company located at 59 Foundry St. The company occupies a three-story, 75,000-square foot brick mill building located in a densely populated neighborhood off Broad Street.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō By all accounts, the firm Braver PC of Providence had done a praiseworthy job auditing the cityŌĆÖs books for the last six years.
So why did the Budget Commission cut Braver loose, awarding the cityŌĆÖs auditing contract to a higher bidder from New London, Conn.?
Officials say their hands were tied by a City Council ordinance designed to prevent auditing firms from getting too cozy with the city. The ordinance prohibits the city from doing business with one accounting firm for more than six years in a row.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō The Dr Pepper Snapple Group (DPS) and national non-profit KaBOOM! have awarded the Bernon Heights Elementary School PTO, in partnership with the Woonsocket Education Department (WED), a $15,000 LetŌĆÖs Play Community Construction Grant to build a playground.
The grant is part of LetŌĆÖs Play, a community partnership led by Dr Pepper Snapple Group to get kids and families active nationwide. In 2011, as part of LetŌĆÖs Play, Dr Pepper Snapple Group made a $15 million, three-year commitment to KaBOOM!, the national non-profit dedicated to promoting safe playground development.
Roland Gauvin was busy selling his photographs Saturday during the 1st annual Woonsocket Arts and Music Festival, sponsored by the Arts Guild of Woonsocket, at River Island Park.
BELLINGHAM ŌĆō The story of bravery and sacrifice aboard the USS Samuel B. Roberts during the World War II Battle of Leyte Gulf and its ties to a Franklin family will be highlighted during a book signing at the Barnes and Noble bookstore at Stallbrook Market Place at 270 Hartford Avenue on Thursday, June 27.
Author John K. Wukovits will be at Barnes & Noble at 7 p.m. to speak about his latest book on World War II, ŌĆ£For Crew and Country: The Inspirational True Story of Bravery and Sacrifice Aboard the USS Samuel B. Roberts,ŌĆØ according to Mary Cliff, the storeŌĆÖs community relations manager.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō As the Budget Commission prepares to adopt the first budget of its five-year solvency plan Monday, there are hurdles on the revenue side of the $127.9 million spending package some officials fear may be insurmountable.
The latest curveball is a proposed $1.4 million cut in aid the commission was expecting from the state. Gov. Lincoln Chafee had included the money for distressed communities and pension supports in his proposed $8.2 billion state budget, but when the plan emerged from the House Finance Committee earlier this week, the aid had been eliminated.

The Use of Seminars and Audio Visual Presentations to Promote the Acceptance of Engineered Sound and Communications Systems by the General Public
In recent years, the use of accepted engineering practices to design and install commercial sound systems has become more widespread in the sound and communications fields. Seminars, classes, articles, literature, technical papers, and experience have all attempted to educate and assist the sound system contractor to provide better sound and communications systems for his customers. Unfortunately, much of this information has not been passed on to the general public, at least not in a form that the public can easily understand. To resolve this problem, one successful approach utilized by this writer is the use of seminars and audio-visual presentations.

Brown plans to admit wiretap evidence in court
Prime Minister Gordon Brown is expected to announce plans for at least a partial lift of the British ban on use of wiretap evidence in court, according to reports. The conclusions of the government's deliberations following the seven-month Chilcot Review into the policy have leaked to the media ahead of the planned announcement …
It's ironic that...
... this is "considered against the background of rapidly-eroding civil liberties" but the civil liberty supporters are actually *in favour* of allowing wiretap evidence to be used to secure convictions, whereas the Security Services oppose it.
Perhaps it's because allows proper examination of claims that "he's a terrorist, we know he is, we say he is, but you're not allowed to check our findings, so you'll just have to let us lock him up for 90 days until we can beat^H^H^H^ extract a confession".
Most common reason for covering something up
We all know they are pretty crap, whats left to hide.
A small number of crucial cases ?
Would these be, by any chance, the ones where there is not one shred of evidence to indicate that a "suspect" has been involved with actual acts terror, nor even their planning or commissioning on anything other than a fantasy basis ?
Step forward officer Kearny with his little tape machine and a recording of a phone call in which the suspect says "Do you know what mate, some days I really could blow that fucking parliament up, bunch of useless tossers so they are, and all you'd need would be [some unlikely explosive concoction from the Anarchists Cookbook] and a rigged motor." *
And suddenly, it's fifteen years in prison.
Or the ones where there's no evidence (q.v. previous), and step forward some RIPA enabled plod with a list of websites and google searches that include things like "TATP", "Fission Bomb", "Dirty Bomb" and the like. *
Those kinds of cases ? Those kinds of cases where the government seeks to lock people away indefinitely just for knowing or talking about things ? Hey hax0r fans, look! Curiosity really IS a crime, now.
Because if so, they can take their intercept evidence and stick it where the customs officer pokes his marigolds.
OTOH I understand that there are going to be cases where intercept or surveillance evidence really is going to be the *only* kind of evidence available against some very nasty people. after all, there's no need for a cell facilitator to ever touch, let alone, possess, anything incriminating. All he has to do is put people in contact with each other, give the orders, and communicate with his own handlers.
Assuming that such people exist, fine, lets see the video and the stills, lets here the phone calls and the conversations, and then lets put them in prison until they rot.
But for some reason, I just don't trust the current gov/spook/cop gestalt to get it that way around
I would guess (complete guess, no relevant background) that such people are probably more valuable to the spooks while they are still at large, having access to multiple nodes of the network, which, if they are arrested, will (if the terror bods are sufficiently savvy) be disbanded, replaced, moved, or otherwise reorganised to hide the nodes and the links between them. Well, that's how I'd do it, anyway ,from both sides.
* I'm sure many people have had this conversation, and even more sure that it's been had a lot more often recently, and yet parliament is notably undamaged.
** Such as, say, any journalist or curious individual who likes to research the stories behind the headlines might reasonably be expected to make.
Cherry picking
I see a few problems.
Firstly, they plan on releasing *some* of the data, but that will lead to cherry picking, with the spooks choosing the recordings that back their case. The defence should be allowed the same access to all the recordings of that person.
All, because the person was there, so you are not telling him anything he doesn't already know. And others know when they spoke to the target, so they know too. All parties in a conversation know about the conversation!
All, because a 500GB portable hard disk can hold a lifetimes worth of voice recordings, so it's not difficult to give them a copy.
All, because voice recording equipment keeps the spooks comment, target id, channel etc. in a database with the recording. It's very trivial to give them a copy of all the voice recordings they have that include that person. I don't believe that the spooks have substandard interception equipment that doesn't meet evidence gathering standards, but yet the police do? Pull the other one it's got ringtones on it.
BTW, if you want to learn about pro voice interception/recording equipment grab the brochure.
The defence should be able to transcribe the parts that show their defence case as much as the prosecution can to prosecute them.
Look at it this way, you go to court, "Ivan said death to Blair in this recording here", perhaps he also said "You know, I often curse that Tony Blair but actually I'm his biggest fan and I'm just joking around" 500 times. To present only the "death to Blair" text out of context like that would be misleading.
As for the 'we have special tricks that would be revealed'. It's done in mainland Europe and I don't believe that there are tricks only known to the UK. That master class he theorises about would have already happened in mainland European cases.
IMHO, They should also remove control orders and the like. Anything where a spook, based on a secret interception, whispers in the Home Secretary's ear and he in turn imposes house arrest based on this unsound unchallengeable information. That should end, they do house arrest under political order in Burma, it has no place in the UK.
Put it another way, if the evidence wasn't sound, they'd go whisper in Home Sec's ear, but then unsound evidence is the type the court is there to protect against! It's the iffy times you exactly want the court to examine.
Likewise all the other flows of information to government departments which in turn lead to plastic police investigations. i.e. pseudo police forces in each government department that investigate stuff directly instead of asking the police to do it. Surely it's a police job?
"An example of the operational constraints this can impose can be found in the operations of bomb-disposal robots."
If BBC made a TV program "Bomb disposal, heroes on the extreme edge", they'd be lining up with their bomb disposal videos.
You can't both argue that
* Terrorist are getting off free because we can't submit the evidence
* We can't submit it because we need to protect our bomb disposal techniques.
Are the bomb disposal techniques so important that it's better to let terrorist go?
If you can't convince a judge it's so secret it should be kept from the defence then it shouldn't be, because the judge is the independent viewpoint.
We should get back to that system, where the police investigate, the judiciary prosecute, the government legislates. No more plastic police, taking on pseudo police roles, no more politico taking on judicial roles, no more vague legislation that leaves the fine detail up to the police.
Why are the secret squirrels opposing this?
"The targets for criminal investigation do not know what the security services can and cannot do."
In which case, they must be remarkably ignorant. Typing "lawful intercept" into any search engine should allow most people to obtain a good grounding in the capabilities available.
@Graham Marsden
I like what your saying and it fits with my own ideals, however, what evidence do you have for either part of your statement?
@Graham Marsden
I wouldn't think it would be difficult to falsify audio recordings. It's not like it wouldn't be beneath our intelligence services to do such a thing either!
Encrypted phone conversations
Plug in a PC with a sound output, wire your phone to accept the output from the PC and feed input to the PC, run some form of audio encryption software (Nautilus was one example I remember from YEARS ago), and recommend SS* prove that your conversation wasn't just a terrible, terrible connection.
This is easier with encrypted files, where you can just delete the extension and say "Encryption? It must just be corrupt."
* Yes, yes... Godwin's Law. Apolgies.
@Chris Miller
I think they meant what the services physically can/cannot do rather than the legal aspect. The top of the line surveillance kit probably isn't altogether too easy to get online - and bear in mind that the targets of the statement are the same people who couldn't do a good enough Google search to realise that binary explosives in 100ml quantities aren't going to do a lot of good. Why the bastards couldn't have planned big and taken 5 litre bottles I do not know. Airport life would far easier if the limit was at 4.5 litres rather than 100ml!
Contrary to any Perceived or PreConceived Opinion
"It's also just possible that the spooks of old Blighty are actually mainly worried about people learning quite how limited their capabilities are, rather than the disclosure of an armoury of impressive unknown tricks. The spies might perhaps be more afraid of embarrassment than operational compromise."
I should just like to ensure the Board that such concerns are unwarranted and have no Foundation in Fact. QuiTe what the spooks of old Blighty can do, are not limited in any Capability. And QuITe beyond the Ken of Careless Disclosure. That which they Possess is Priceless beyond Compare and can Destroy All who would Dare ITs Might and Decline ITs Gracious Embrace of the Challenge. The Virtual Kiss of Death for a Wrong Un, a Renegade or a Rogue and all wrought by Ones Own Folly of Choices Clearly XXXXPlained.
And their Boffins have Jumping to a Fine Tempestuous AIRt2 ........ Astute NEUKlearer Technology which is a Shared Top Secret when Openly Shared but you will have Trouble Believing IT42BTrue. Although that is ITs Master Key with Parallel Support.
The article is about wiretaps, not the kind of bugging device that was used in the Sadiq Khan MP case. Phone service providers are required to provide lawful intercept information to properly authorised persons. How this is done is set out in public documents from ETSI.
The intercept information obviously cannot exceed that available to the service provider - viz:
Who: source and destination phone numbers
When: accurate date and time stamp
Where: physical location (for mobiles based on the local cell being used)
What: recording of the conversation.
All this info is readily available to terrorists. The squirrels tell us that they are very sophisticated, although most of the evidence is that they're closer to the "terror clowns" described by Lewis in an earlier article.
"I wouldn't think it would be difficult to falsify audio recordings."
Don't you remember what a cock-up they made of using photoshop to doctor the picture of an innocent Brazillian to look more like an islamic terrorist?
I was also concerned at the way the judge in the 21/7 plotters trial tried to blame them for the De Menezes shooting. Well if the blame can be spread wider than the incompetent spooks who allowed an innocent man to be repeatedly shot, having trailed him halfway across London, who else can have a share? Step forward Mr T Blair, for dragging a protesting country into an illegal war!
755,000 terrorists
I remembered that number from some earlier article ... I am sure there are juicy recordings on all of them ....
But in the end I'd like to see proper policework before they start sending people to prison. How do they distinguish the bored kids from the nasties if you only look at some emails fragments and phonecalls? Leave the spooks play with their taps and toys, but when they go to a judge they should bring the physical evidence.
"Security" services
historically, these organizations have consistently attracted people of few and flexible morals. also historically, they usually don't want any evidence of this to get a public airing.
i wouldn't call the entire organization ethics-free (no more so than, say, Halliburton, Enron, Blackwater, Microsoft, or Exxon-Mobil), but history teaches that a significant minority, if not majority, of people usually employed by these outfits, is best suited only for shadow ops or political office.
the argument goes something like: "somebody's got to make the sausage, you know."
this is why they don't want ANY of their activities admissible as evidence. any questionable deed is that much more likely to end up in official records, which can subsequently be subject to disclosure.
@AC and DaveTheRave
AC: "what evidence do you have for either part of your statement?"
To quote Shami Chakrabarti of Liberty:
"Our reluctance to use phone tap evidence in terror cases like most other countries is frankly mind-boggling. Surely the Government and police recognise that this is a far more effective tool than bringing back internment by holding suspects for 90 days without charge."
Dave: "I wouldn't think it would be difficult to falsify audio recordings."
Other have already mentioned the De Menezes "faked" photo and taking comments out of context, but consider also if the Security Services attempted to falsify recordings eg by inserting "doctored" phrases, all it would take is *one* example of someone being able to show (eg by recording their own conversations) that such a recording had been faked to cast serious doubt on *all* such evidence in future.
Well BUG'er me..
"Bug me but not my MP"
Who cares if its bugs, taps, washers or what-ever - intrusion is intrusion is intrusion....
But judging by constant revelations perhaps the beta should use MP's as the test base.
Oh! silly me, the Kremlin and White House probably do that already ;-P
Nice one Gorders!..
love Waldo
"there will be a complex regime of checks and safeguards"
I'll bet there will be, and it will be so complex that there will be a number of ways to go around them perfectly "legally" and still have the "evidence" presented to the court.
As for doctoring a sound recording, I think it is quite a bit more difficult than fixing pixels on a picture. It has something to do with harmonics, and I'm sure an expert of proper qualifications could tell in an instant if the recording had been tampered with.
And, given the poor performance of the doctored pictures we have been presented with, I have no doubt that changing a recording in a believable manner will be far beyond the abilities of the plod charged with the tweak.
On the other hand, faking a recording entirely might be a lot easier to do, and more difficult to spot.
Take your tin foil hats off.
Most of you naysayers haven't given even the slightest consideration to legitimate uses for this legislation, instead jumping on the tinfoil hat bandwagon.
The reason for this legislation is probably the same as that for why similar legislation was introduced in Australia.
Previously, evidence of serious crime such as trafficking child pornography incidentally collected as SIGINT intercept could not be actioned at all, in anyway. The intercept (or even a tipoff) could not be passed to the police, nor used in court.
How would you feel if you were an analyst at GCHQ, you came across this sort of material in incidentally collected SIGINT, and knew you could do absolutely nothing whatsoever about it?
Disclosing the full details of how the intercept was collected gives away vital details of SIGINT capabilities, which essentially renders those capabilities useless.

Police arrest a man suspected of being a child predator.
Detectives from Albemarle County say Matthew Musselwhite thought he had been chatting with a 13 year-old girl and was going to meet her in Charlottesville.
Police arrested Musselwhite on Wednesday and charged him with soliciting a minor online, a felony offense.
The operation was funded by a grant from the Department of Criminal Justice Services, which provides overtimes hours and equipment for detectives to catch predators online.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk is promoting efforts he says should be taken to reduce the incidents of stroke and treat those afflicted by the illness.
The Republican from Highland Park, who suffered a stroke in January 2012, met Wednesday with Chicago-area stroke researchers. He emphasized the importance of funding National Institutes of Health research.
The NIH has implemented a new stroke research network in response to the lack of centralization and efficiency in previous stroke research efforts. Before 2013, stroke research would often take over 10 years per study and would exceed its budget. The new regionalized model lowers the cost of research and promotes more timely trial results.
Kirk went through months of physical and speech rehabilitation after his stroke and returned to work in Washington a year later.

County moves forward on jail annexPublished 11:30am Wednesday, November 28, 2012
The Morgan County Commission approved payment of $23,100 to the architectural firm of Godwin Barnett Woods at its regular meeting Tuesday morning, moving forward with the design for a proposed 240-bed jail annex.
Commission Chairman Ray Long reported that the two-acre site, which is located just off Lee Street, is currently being soil tested, and added that he is working with Decatur Utilities to relocate a sewer line on the property.
"The design for the facility is 99 percent complete," Long stated. Hopefully, we'll see dirt being moved on the site by the first of next year.
The two-story building will have barracks-style accommodations for 120 inmates on each level and will include office space for Community Corrections.
The facility is expected to cost about $3.5 million and will be financed in part with revenues derived from refunding of existing bond issues.
Long said additional bed space for non-violent prisoners is needed because the 500-bed jail is close to being filled to capacity.

Give me a break ...
With as much as Apple has invested in and riding on iTunes, I can still use their storefront to discover music, then procure it by whatever means (legal or otherwise) that I prefer, and guess what? The songs will still play in iTunes. The idea that Macs will prevent their users from installing software sourced somewhere other than the App Store is ludicrous. Maybe Steve would prefer it that way, but he's far too astute a businessman to actually implement it.
In other news, the sky is falling over western Canada ...
Apple demonstrates how to do touchscreen desktops
What leads you to believe ...
that Tyco monitor is capable of causing the attached CPU to switch OSes and input methods based on the screen angle?
Either the majority of posters haven't got a clue what terms like "prior art" actually mean ... or else they just look at the pics, skip the article and write posts based on their existing prejudices.
Article & Comments Completely Miss the Point!
The innovation here is not the bloody hinge ... it's that the hinge has sensors, so that when the screen is angled horizontally the computer switches from an OSX device to an iOS device! When you tilt it back up, it goes back to your OSX session.
There is no prior art on that folks.
Apple snubs O2's handset enviro-spec rating
Non Eco Criteria
I have a lot of issues with this "sustainability" index. For example, the Sony Ericsson Elm (the highest-rated phone) got extra points because it "replaces" an MP3 player, GPS, etc. ... but in my experience, my SE phone had such a crap MP3 player that I still bought an iPod. I can only assume a lot of the other built-in functionality that various phone models were rewarded for in these rankings are also of minimal quality/utility and similarly DON'T replace separate devices.
Why can't they restrict themselves to just rating the enviro impact of the phones' production and stay away from such bullshit subjective areas?
Apple MacBook
No TDM = Boo Apple!
Every Mac I've had for nearly a decade has been capable of Target Disk Mode, thanks to Firewire. I cannot count how many times TDM has allowed me to diagnose and repair problems without a trip to the service centre. I've used it twice this week alone and I only look after a dozen or so Macs.
Peripheral connection standards come and go--and most stuff is now USB2 anyway--but TDM was an incredible advantage for Apple. Eliminating it from the company's highest volume product is a strange, and frankly disturbing development.

Shura held to discuss ALP logistics accountability
CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan – A two-day logistics shura, or meeting, for Afghan Local Police was held at the Provincial Supply Point at the Helmand province police headquarters in Lashkar Gah April 18-19.
"The Log shura was held to bring the Afghan Local Police to the table to discuss issues and concerns pertaining to logistics," said U.S. Army Maj. Mike Buck, Regional Logistics Center, Regional Support Command Southwest logistics advisor.
The shura was the first for the Afghan calendar year and allowed the Afghan Ministry of the Interior to talk about topics including property accountability, vehicles, uniforms, ammunitions and weapons and maintenance contracts with the ALP, said Buck.
Afghan National Police Col. Tor Jan spoke about his role as the ANP's Regional Logistics Officer and the center's mission in supporting the police and the Lashkar Gah Training Center.
It was also a big step toward the 2014 transition to Afghan-led security, Buck said. Afghan Police logistics is in the early transition phase in the Helmand and Nimroz provinces and the shura helped the RLC take the lead to bring all stakeholders together to ensure the ALP are sustained.
The ALP, comprised of approximately 13,000 across Afghanistan, is a defensive-only force at the village level. They do not have power to arrest or search. Their job is solely to man checkpoints and report to Afghan Uniformed Police units.
"They're kind of like a neighborhood watch," said U.S. Army Col. Matt Redding, the commander of Regional Support Command Southwest. "They can't dispense justice; they have to bring anything they see to the AUP."
The speakers concluded the shura by discussing the importance of accountability and collaboration.
"A closed hand is stronger than open hand," said Jan. He added that he was glad they are part of the ALP and standing up for Afghanistan.
NTM-A is a coalition of 38 troop-contributing nations charged with assisting the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in generating a capable and sustainable Afghan National Security Force ready to take lead of their country's security by 2014.

November 24, 2014
CLEVELAND (AP) - Former Cleveland Browns receiver Joe Jurevicius
is suing the team and the Cleveland Clinic, accusing doctors of negligence over a staph infection in his right knee that kept him off the field last year.
Shannon Polk, an attorney for Jurevicius, said the lawsuit was filed Friday in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court. It alleges that team physicians failed to warn Jurevicius that therapy equipment was not always cleaned at the team's training facility.
Jurevicius has said he contracted staph following arthroscopic surgery at the Cleveland Clinic in January 2008.
Messages seeking comment were left Friday for a Browns spokesman
and the Cleveland Clinic.
Jurevicius was released by the Browns in March.

Call David at 816-463-4003
Crash Kings
I LOVE Crash Kings after I heard of them through David. They rock. I went to one of their concerts and it was awesome!
Anyone else fans? Wanna chat?
This thread hasn't seen the light of day in many moons, LOL. Just wanted to say that CK still exist. They played a charity event at Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood last night and blew the roof off that place. It felt so good to see them again. Been way too long. They played a couple of new tunes along with many of our favorites. Fabulous show!! Looking forward to their new CD next year.
Crash Kings will be at this year's EarthFest in Boston on May 22
Other bands include Collective Soul, Gin Blossoms, Marcy Playground, plus a local band opens the show.
This is a FREE event
Don't forget to tune into Kimmel tonight!! I'm so excited!!
Love that song.
Looking forward to seeing them in a week. Sure miss them. We get a twofer....Kimmel appearance and show at The Roxy. I'm a happy camper.
I shot this video when CK were in Boston.
The sound is bad since I was so close, but it's a nice visual!
Hang in there while it gets going.
Crash Kings will be on Jimmy Kimmel May 10th!! Hope all you local yocals will be there!!
Check out this NHL promo using "Mountain Man". Awesome!!
Just putting this out there for you CR lovers, they hit big at SXSW. Thought you might like to see this YT from the ThirstyNickel.
I'm not a Puma, I'm a Lady.-Me
*You pulled me in like you were made for me* -Heroes
For those in the St Louis area, CK are playing PointFest at the Verizon on June 6. 29 bands for 29 bucks. Great value.
Thanks Jeannine, that's one sexy music video! Love that it's performance-based, and not some lame theme. Love it so much I liked it to my facebook profile.
Did you see their new video of Mountain Man? I loved it.
"Mountain Man" holds onto #1 on alternative for a 2nd week! Mediabase will publish these numbers for the week: http://bit.ly/TdPTq
Cathryn, Crash Kings have two demos that they play when they headline, and often close their shows with a great cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs." Basically, when they top the bill and have to play 75 minutes, they're forced to play everything they've got! The entire CK album, the two demos (there are youtubes of them floating around), and War Pigs. I think with "Mountain Main" at #1 on alternative, and the album now selling nicely (I don't think it's in the BB200 but it's not far out of it), they might release another single in a few months. Debut bands that show promise often get that kind of a shot (as GRO is getting, and as Caroliina Liar got, even though their albums didn't remain in the BB200). I think CK will concentrate on new music later this year.
"...Are they putting out any new music?"
Not at the moment. I asked Tony about that and he said they want to tour for this CD for a while. They do have a couple of songs they sing that aren't on the CD.
Heh, can't wait for these guys to hit the East Coast again soon.
Are they putting out any new music?
Scott: Heres just a small ditty on TCK at South by Southwest. Also I have provided a link to a band who has billed with them before and in the future thats a great band too.
What is it with all these "Kings" bands..their hot! Kings of Leon..Hot..MWK..HOt...Crash Kings..Hot..Pawnshop Kings..Hot. Just a funny thing I think. Check out the Pawnshop Kings, I like them too.
I'm not a Puma, I'm a Lady.-Me
*You pulled me in like you were made for me* -Heroes
As expected, Billboard will publish "Mountain Main" as #1 in alternative this week. In fact, Crash Kings made headlines at billboard.com tonight: http://bit.ly/aBLPWc
ETA: here it is! http://www.billboard.com/#/charts/alternative-songs
They did it! Crash King's "Mountain Man" is number 1 on alternative rock this week! Made the published mediabase chart. It will be fun to look at billboard.com this Thursday!
Holy Crap, Scott! That is fantastic!!! Thanks for the great news!
Ready for this? You sitting down? Crash King's "Mountain Man" just hit #1 on alternative, and will likely remain there for tomorrow's published chart! AI of 6 million (which is good for alternative).
More good news! "Mountain Man" went up to #2 on Alternative yesterday, and that's it's published ranking for the week! WooHoo!
Great news, Scott! I want this band to absolutely soar. So well deserved!
Looks like for this week's published mediabase chart, "Mountain Man" will land at #3 on alternative! WooHoo! Working its way to the top of the chart.
That is great news, Scott! So well deserved! I want to see those guys take off. They have what it takes.
"Mountain Man" has reached #8 on alternative rock!
In Southern California, KROQ has added it and it's up to #25 on their yes.com chart positoin! They play it daily here in the #2 market (so does a smaller station in the Inland Empire).
Woo Hoo!
I saw Crash Kings in Boston, once as an opener (too short) and once as the headliner, which was fantastic! I am very intrigued by the sound of the Clavinet and Tony's singing. I love the whole group. I shot a few video's that have awful sound, but I may put one up anyway just to see them performing.
My Twitter
I'm not sure if there is a way to purchase their merch other than at their shows. They usually have shirts, etc.
Ever since I saw them in concert (Valentines day) I have been in LOVE with them. (TONY, OMG.) Not as much as DC of course, but its nice to have something fresh once and awhile. I have been getting sick of a few other bands, and I needed a new sound in the mix, and they BROUGHT IT! I LOVE them.
I've been trying to get my hands on a tshirt...I didnt see any for sale at the show I went to. I didn't look around much though. If you guys know where to get one other than a show, that would be great.
They are playing up in Wrightwood 2/26. Free concert at Mountain High Resort. My hubby and I are going to try to make it up the hill and see them.
They are definitely one of my very favorite bands. Love, love, love their songs. If I had to pick my favorites, it would be difficult because I love absolutely every song they have on their CD. I guess, though, if I had to pick my very favorite, it would be You Got Me. Killer song.
I hope to see these boys make it big someday. They are truly unique and I can't get enough of their sound. I play their CD a lot. I'm surprised I haven't worn it out yet, LOL.
I had a Crash Kings shirt, but someone took it off my arm when I was waiting for david.
I hope they become big this year, and I hope to seem them in concert again
Ah Yep. Love this band. My favorite songs are "Only Wednesday" "Mountain Man" "1985" and "My Love" Nice eclectic unique band. And 2 of them are brothers! I have missed seeing them both times they have come to FL. Gone on business trips. So sad. They were right at my back door on Jan. 22nd and I was pulled into another trip to Atlanta. Boo!
Huge, huge, huge Crash Kings fan. Also discovered them through David. Downloaded their CD on itunes in early-to-mid summer, just before they joined David on the tour. He had talked them up and so I had sampled them already. Loved the album immediately and then finally saw them open for David at the Oregon State Fair in Salem on Labor Day weekend. Then again their final show with David in Hollywood a few days later (of course after the show I bought a hard copy CD & got it autographed, plus a T-shirt).
I've seen them 4 times since they left the Declaration Tour... twice opening for another act, and finally, headlining their own tour at great clubs (including LA's Viper Room). They OWN it when they headline. Huge crowds really get loud. They play for 1 hr 20 min and that forces them to play every.single.song they know. The entire album plus a couple of new demos and a great cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs."
I'm hoping this is a big year for them and that Mountan Man start's charting on radio.
My favorite songs are "Non-Believer," "Only Wednesday," "Saving Grace" and "My Love." Eh, throw in "14 Arms" as well. Love 'em all but those are my go-to songs most often.
I just am shocked that they're not very popular. They are so awesome...I have been obsessed with the record the last week or so.
Love them. I saw them when they came to Seattle with David back in August. I met them after the show, I ran into them by the merch table, had them sign their CD that I bought and took picturesm and chatted for awhile, really nice guys, and quite funny.
