While the committee understood that readers of this report might hope to find a well-defined list or set of lists of future threats, perpetrators, and timelines for the acquisition and exploitation of certain technologies for malevolent purposes, the committee also realized the futility of this approach. The global technology landscape is shifting so dramatically and rapidly that it was simply not possible for this committee—or any committee—to devise a formal risk assessment of the future threat horizon, based on the possible exploitation of dual-use technologies by state actors, nonstate actors, or individuals. Given that within just the past few years the global scientific community has witnessed the unexpected development and proliferation of important new technologies, such as RNA interference, nanobiotechnology, and synthetic biology, biological threats of the next 5 to 10 years could extend well beyond those that can be predicted today. The useful life span of any such list of future threats developed in 2006 would likely be measured in months, not years. Instead, the committee sought to define more broadly how continuing advances in technologies with applications to the life sciences' enterprise can contribute to the development of novel biological weapons and to develop a logical framework for analysts to consider as they evaluate the evolving technology threat spectrum.
While evaluating the rapidly evolving global landscape of knowledge and capability in the life sciences and associated technologies, the committee agreed on five key findings and recommendations that it believes are strongly supported by the information presented in this report, as summarized in Box 4-1, that build on and reinforce the findings and recommendations put forward in earlier National Research Council reports, including, but not limited to, Biotechnology Research in an Age of Terrorism.1 Because it believes that continuing advances in science and technology are essential to countering terrorism, the committee's recommendations affirm policies and practices that promote the free and open exchange of information in the life sciences (Recommendation 1). The committee also recognized the need to adopt a broader perspective on the nature of the "threat spectrum" (Recommendation 2) and to strengthen the scientific and technical expertise available to the security communities so that they are better equipped to anticipate and manage a diverse array of novel threats (Recommendation 3). The recommendations call for the global community of life scientists to adopt a common culture of awareness and a shared sense of responsibility and include specific actions that would promote such a culture (Recommendation 4). Finally, the committee recognized that no set of measures can ever provide complete protection against the malevolent use of life sciences technologies, and its recommendations reaffirm previous calls to strengthen the public health infrastructure and the nation's existing response and recovery capabilities (Rec-

... And I'm really not surprised. Ethics came up last year at Sorenson, and at Martinsville, so why shouldn't it come up again? Frankly, it is a big issue.
This time, however, instead of focusing on "Oh, gosh, we all need to blog ethically, and [shaking finger] bad BAD anonymous bloggers/commenters!" we actually heard a reason to blog ethically.
Yes, this post will be a very different "round up" than what I've done in the past. At Martinsville in particular, I gave a detailed account of who was there, what they said, and how they came across. I'm not going to to that for Blogs United in Hampton Roads, because I think it would miss the main point: ethics.
Part of the reason - which has been mentioned before - to blog ethically is that it makes people more likely to read you. If you can give a well-considered opinion, dig up a carefully researched story, put several seemingly unrelated facts together in a new and intriguing way, or conduct an intelligent and civil debate (or all of the above, hopefully!), you are far more likely to get a broad readership. If all you post is invective, ad hominem, childish Photoshop, and dubious rumors, people may read you, but your influence is likely to be low.
Yes, we all know that - even if we do confess in the depths of our hearts our occasional desire for a good, filthy snark-attack - but that's really rather selfish, isn't it? (Hm, oh, yes, I'm sure we bloggers can all confess to ego and pride as some of our hidden sins!)
How about:
When we descend to uncivil and false attacks, we often drive citizens away from participating in the civic arena, as well as away from the voting booth.
OK, that's a reason I can get behind! After all, I'm only a small-time blogger, and only "famous" (!!!) by association rather than on my own merit.
So, I like that as a reason to blog ethically.
But... What *IS* "Ethical Blogging," and how do we all get onboard the ethical train?
Frankly, I think it's almost an impossible question to answer and definitely it's fairly impossible to solve.
The reason it's hard question to answer is that we all have different ways of looking at things, and different lines we will or won't cross. For instance, Greg Letiecq over at Black Velvet Bruce Li frequently courts controversy. At Martinsville last year, he said something like, "...if no one goes out and hits the limits, then no one ever knows where the limits are. If no one exercises their rights, those rights tend to vanish."
Greg goes out and pushes those limits, whereas that is very much not my style. Our boundaries are different when talking about ethical blogging. (I'd also like to make it clear that this is certainly not a ping on Greg: I think he's a fantastic blogger, and he really digs in to get the story and back it up with facts. Me, I'm much more comfortable in a more non-controversial atmosphere, generally. )
So, I don't think there's much chance of codifying any set of "Rules for Ethical Blogging." Yes, I'd like to see us all swear to tell the truth, be courteous and respectful in discussion, leave candidates' families alone, etc., but there's no way - short of (God forbid!) regulation, which is certainly unacceptable! - we would ever be able to enforce those rules.
And this leads me to the aspect of all of us getting on board the ethics train.
Honey, I hate to be so cynical (and on a Sunday, too!), but I think Hell will freeze over before that happens. There will, unfortunately, always be someone who slips up in irritation and starts a blog-war. There will always be someone who makes an honest mistake which is blown out of proportion. There will always be those who just love to get down in the dirt and try to smear as many people as they possibly can, without regard to honesty and decency.
It's human nature, and it's inescapable.
The only thing that might work - the only thing - is for each blogger to moderate and control himself. I cannot force JohnnyAcrossTheWeb to adhere to a set of standards which he doesn't already hold inside his spirit. JanieNextBlogOver can't make me act like she wants me to, because I'm an independent person (OK, OK, I'm stubborn!) and I just might think to ask who died and made her God?
I can't pull your Internet connection, I can't hold a gun to your head, and I can't threaten you so that you "behave like a good little blogger."
For all the pleas I heard, from blogger and elected official alike, for ethical and courteous blogging, *I* know it won't happen until we raise our personal standards first - and let the market marginalize the dross in the 'sphere.
The only one who can change your behavior is you.
The only one who can change my behavior is me.
It's called "personal responsibility," "integrity," and "honor," folks.
And it must be imposed from the inside.

I'm at 29 weeks and have had some serious heartburn. My OB said to take one Prilosec per day. I've taken it for the past two days, and it's working great already, but I've read different things about taking it during pregnancy.
The sources I've read say there haven't been tests done on humans but that in animals it increases the chance of miscarriage. But since I'm now past the risk of miscarriage I don't know if it increases chances of complications or stillbirth.
I looked up some more things in forums online, and I saw a few women who said they took it, even throughout most of their pregnancies, and had no problems.
So I guess my questions are:
1. Have you taken Prilosec during pregnancy with no problems?
2. Have you or do you know of anyone who has had pregnancy complications related to taking Prilosec?
Yes, with my first pregnancy I had atrocious heartburn. I went through two big bottles of Tums and used Prilosec and something else, generic so I don't recall what it compared to. Thankfully every pregnancy is different and I didn't have it bad with DS and so far haven't had it much at all with this pregnancy.
I don't know of any problems from taking it. We didn't have any.
I was already taking it prior to pregnancy -- I stopped when I got pregnant, because the info all said it wasn't pregnancy safe, but then my doc told me I could start taking it again because my heart burn was so bad that it was giving me nausea.
No issues since then. :-)

The line is sold online at taliahancock.com, and at boutiques around Orange County, including The Hidden Jewel, Novecento Sports and Doll, as well as at Neiman Marcus at Fashion Island. Other stores around the country also carry the brand.
Owner: Talia Hancock
Style: Timeless, casual, classic with a twist in mainly black, white and gray. Each piece has a signature traditional Peruvian fabric color tag. It's a nod to Hancock's Peruvian heritage. "I wouldn't say the line is trendy," she said. "It's on trend but not trendy."
Price profile: $50 for tanks, $80 for T-shirts, $85-$99 for pants, $145 for a maxi dress
Target shopper: Women ages 19 to 65. "My grandparents wear the clothes; my little cousins like it," Hancock said. "Everyone can appreciate super-soft pants and a great T-shirt."
Best-sellers: Hancock says all of her pieces have been doing well. The half-lined Mia maxi dress with snaps down the back has been a big hit this season and sold out at Neiman Marcus.
Talia Hancock is not the girl who dreamt of dealing with pretty clothes for a living.
The Aliso Viejo resident is a driven woman who always knew she wanted to have her own business. And it's that drive that broke through in an entrepreneurial contest presentation during the last class of the last day of college. It caught the attention of the man who would help Hancock get her big break.
"She was far and away the best student in this contest," said Barry Goldfarb, a businessman and a trustee at Chapman University who was judging the contest. "She has the whole package. She's funny, she's aggressive, she knows how to talk to people, she doesn't take no for an answer."
Goldfarb was so impressed that he decided to invest in the Chapman graduate, no matter what business she chose to go into. Since she had connections at clothing factories in Peru, they settled on a T-shirt line. Having worked at Nordstrom, Hancock knew basics were a big seller.
The Talia Hancock collection of luxurious Pima cotton T's, dresses and pants launched in January 2012. The super-soft, airy pieces are basic enough to appeal to just about anybody, but it's the zippers and snaps in the back that make them really stand out.
The functional details enable the clothes to be worn in many ways, from demure layering to über-sexy and revealing. Zip it up, zip it down and suddenly one piece becomes two or three that can be used on different occasions.
"That's the beauty of it," the 25-year-old Hancock said. "You can take that dress to a barbecue and then open it up and wear it as a gown."
The buyers at Neiman Marcus took notice, although Hancock said she couldn't believe her line would sell at the Fashion Island department store. And just to make sure it was not all a joke, she drove the merchandise to the distribution center to make sure it would be accepted.
Even now, it sometimes all seems almost too good to be true.
"I'm pleasantly surprised whenever I make something and somebody buys it," she said. "I just think about all the places my little clothes are going and it's super-cool."
Although Hancock doesn't sew, she oversees all aspects of the productions, from coming up with designs to color and detail selection.
"I touch every item that comes in," she said.
The experience with her line has given her a new perspective and appreciation for the fashion industry.
"I'm not a fashion designer; I own a clothing company," Hancock said humbly while pointing out how much she loves what she does.
Hancock said she hopes to open her own store one day. Meanwhile, she's already working on the spring/summer 2014 collection. She's planning to explore adding stripes and more colors into the mix. She's also researching new combinations of Pima cotton with wool and cashmere.

CARE Hack: The Bead Game
CARE Hack: The Bead Game
Publication info
The "bead game" was designed to address some of the pressure women in certain cultures feel to give birth to boy children, and reduce the stigma placed upon women who give birth to girls.
With the help of two colored beads representing the X and Y chromosomes, the game demonstrated how the sex of a child is determined.
The key point, that it is a chromosome from the man that determines the sex of the child, was overwhelmingly popular with the women, who said they were often blamed by their husbands or families if they did not produce a baby boy.
These domestic and cultural misunderstandings often result in gender-based violence, a problem CARE is committed to ending through community outreach, education and simple activities like the bead game.

Imran Khan: Man of the Hour

Imran Khan: New Trouble Man for US in Pakistan The PTI leader criticized not only President Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif but also blasted US policies in the biggest-ever show of political power in Lahore in the past 25 years
By Hamid Mir
Imran Khan gestures after arriving to lead the Pakistan Tehreek-e- Insaf (PTI) rally in Lahore October 30, 2011.
ISLAMABAD — Imran Khan is no more a cricketer turned politician. He has suddenly become an important regional player in the US endgame in Afghanistan.
A mind-blowing public rally of Imran Khan in Lahore on October 30 made it very difficult for the Zardari regime to give new commitments or accept any demands from the US to push its decade-long war against terror. Imran Khan has not only become a threat for traditional political parties inside Pakistan but is also going to become a big hurdle in the implementation of demands made by US during the recent visit of Hillary Clinton to Islamabad.
The PTI leader criticised not only President Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif but also blasted US policies in the biggest-ever show of political power in Lahore in the past 25 years. The last time Lahore saw this kind of political tsunami was on April 10, 1986 when late Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto returned after many years in exile. A big reception to the daughter of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was a bombshell for the then military dictator. Benazir Bhutto addressed a big rally in Iqbal Park, adjacent to the historical Lahore Fort. That rally was the beginning of General Zia's end.
The October 30 rally by Imran Khan in the same Iqbal Park also looked like an end of pro-US policies started by General Pervez Musharraf ten years ago. Imran addressed US Secretary of State as "Chachi Clinton"
(Aunty Clinton) and said a big no to any more army operations in Pakistan's tribal areas. It will now be impossible for the ruling Pakistan People's Party and its coalition partners to start new operations in North Waziristan or even continue the old operations from South Waziristan to Khyber Agency. Elections are close and no political government can take the risk of going against public opinion.
Hillary Clinton is these days desperately looking for someone who can become a bridge between Afghan Taliban and the US. Imran Khan can make some serious efforts in this regard but is more focused on the situation inside Pakistan. He has offered his services for the engagement of Pakistani Taliban but wants assurances that there will be no more military operations.
Imran said all this just one day before the meeting of President Asif Ali Zardari with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Istanbul. The US has arranged this meeting through Turkish President Abdullah Gull for the success of the Istanbul conference. Army Chief General Kayani also left for Turkey on Monday. Afghan officials will discuss the US endgame with Pakistan, India, Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgystan, Uzbekistan, UAE, Turkey, US and UK in Istanbul Conference from November 1.
The US wants some commitments from Pakistan at this conference and that is why the Pakistani Army Chief is also invited to this conference.
However, Imran Khan's massive anti-American rally has made it very difficult for Pakistani leaders to oblige their friends from Saudi Arabia and Turkey who have became part of the process on the US request.
Imran criticized the Army operations in the tribal areas in very strong words. He clearly said some tribal elders had given him assurances that if US drone attacks were stopped and the Pakistan Army halted operations in the tribal areas they would control all militants. Imran Khan also arranged meetings of these tribal elders (mostly from North Waziristan) with his ex-wife Jemima Khan who is making a documentary against drone attacks.
Jemima and Imran are separated but often meet because of their two sons. An American lawyer Clive Smith is also helping Jemima and they are planning a big campaign against drone attacks in the Western media.
Jemima writes for Vanity Fair magazine. She is helping not only Imran but also Julian Assange, WikiLeaks founder, and Assange may also speak at the inauguration of documentary against drone attacks. The documentary is expected to have a lot of "WikiLeaks". Imran Khan has repeatedly said, "Pakistan has changed". He threatened, "I will not spare anyone who gave Pakistani bases to US and sold my people for dollars."
Without naming Pervez Musharraf he sent him a message not to come back to Pakistan. He also said: "We want friendly relations with every country but we cannot accept slavery of America". Imran Khan came out openly in support of the Kashmiris and advised India to withdraw its troops from Kashmir.
He tried to satisfy the central Punjab voters who are not happy with the soft stance of Zardari and Nawaz Sharif on India. This hawkish stance will definitely bring him closer to the military establishment but he opposes military action in Balochistan. He also criticized the role of Pakistan Army in former East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) in his recently published book "Pakistan a Personal History."
According to the sources in Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) more than a dozen ambassadors from different Western countries wanted to see Imran Khan this week but he left for China immediately after addressing the mammoth public rally in Lahore on Sunday night. He will be a guest of the Chinese government. His opponents often declared him "Taliban Khan" or the "modern face of Jamat-i-Islami" but hundreds of thousands of people enjoyed the songs of many popular singers in the Lahore rally.
For some critics it became a grand musical show but the fact is that the crowd enjoyed the music at a public place after a very long time.
Pakistan has many popular pop singers but they cannot sing at public places due to fear of suicide bombings that started in 2007. There was a suicide attack on the musical show of Sono Nagam sometime back in Karachi and after that many pop singers were threatened not to sing at public places. Many singers like Adnan Sami, Atif Aslam and Ali Zafar tried their luck in India in recent years but now they can come back.
Imran Khan is bringing back not only the political activities on the roads but also encouraging many pop singers like Shehzad Roy to sing publicly who made songs against drone attacks. Roy presented his famous song 'uth bandh kamar kya darta hey phir dekh Khuda kya karta hey" in the Sunday rally. Thousands of youngsters were dancing on this song and Imran was clapping with them.
Imran Khan is becoming the voice of the common Pakistanis who are neither religious extremists nor secular fascists. He is becoming a ray of hope for those disgruntled youngsters who have started hating democracy due to bad governance and corruption. These youngsters can now bring about a change in Pakistan through their vote power. Youth is the real power of Imran Khan and this youth belongs to the lower middle, middle class. This is the most disillusioned class in Pakistan but now the youth of this class is becoming active, which is a positive sign.
Dozens of sitting parliamentarians are contacting Imran Khan for joining his PTI. Former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and many political big shots will make some shocking decisions soon but Imran is more interested in young blood and well-educated minds.
He warned the government on Sunday that all politicians must declare their assets inside and outside Pakistan within a few months failing which his party would launch a civil disobedience movement and block all major cities with public support. For many analysts he is emerging as the third option after Zardaris's PPP and Nawaz Sharif's PML-N.
Some say he will ruin Nawaz Sharif in the central Punjab and PPP would be the ultimate beneficiary. Imran does not agree with this analysis.
He always criticizes PPP and PML-N jointly because one is ruling at the center and the other is ruling Punjab, which is more than 60 percent of Pakistan. Imran has definitely proved that he enjoys more political support in Lahore than Nawaz Sharif but it does not mean that he is going to get clear majority in the coming elections. He needs some winning horses not only in the central Punjab but also in south Punjab, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Baluchistan and Sindh.
He needs big rallies in Faisalabad, Multan, Peshawar, Karachi and Quetta and then he can make some bigger claims. He will definitely make dents not only in the vote bank of PML-N but will also damage the PPP badly. There are 25 seats of national assembly in Lahore division of which PML-N has 20, PPP has 3 and PML-Q has one. Imran may snatch at least half of the PML-N and all the seats won by PPP and PML-Q in Lahore. Out of 23 seats in Gujranwala division PML-N has 13, PPP 8 and PML-Q has 2. Imran will damage PPP and PML-Q more than PML-N in Gujranwala. There are 20 seats in Faisalabad division – PML-N has only 4 while PML-Q has 8 and PPP has 7 seats.
Many sitting members of the national assembly from Faisalabad are pleading to Imran to accept them in his party. Some PPP, PML-Q and ANP members from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are also in contact with Imran, which means that his popularity is not confined to Punjab.
His biggest stronghold in the north is the tribal area where he is expected to make a clean sweep and more than 10 seats are in his pocket. This is the same area where he will not allow government to start any new Army operations.
If there is no operation then what will be the future of Pakistan-US relations? Zardari regime is at the crossroads. There is US pressure from one side and the PTI pressure from the other.
Nawaz Sharif was trying to play safe by targeting only Zardari and not the US but Imran Khan has suddenly changed the political dynamics in Pakistan. He is the new trouble man for US and also for the pro-US political elite in Pakistan. All the popular parties have no option other than to follow his anti-Americanism.
Hillary Clinton needs to realize the wave of change in Pakistani politics. She cannot understand this change without engaging Imran Khan. October 30 was just a beginning. World will see more changes on the political map of Pakistan and Imran Khan will play a leading role.

American Admirers & Friends of BB have made a Documentary on her Legacy
May 5, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
The Public Broadcasting Corporation (PBS) Houston Channel 8 will be airing a documentary called "BHUTTO" on Tuesday, May 10th, 2011 at 10:00pm under their "Independent Lens Series". This documentary is directed and produced by Duane Baughman, while majority of the statements in the documentary are from Mark Siegel of USA, a close friend and advisor of Benazir Bhutto.
The preview of this Former Late Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto's (BB's) documentary was shown at Rice University Cinema last week, which was attended by Consul General of Pakistan in Houston Honorable Aqil Nadeem, many Americans of Pakistani origin and several indigenous Americans. Program was jointly sponsored by the Houston-Karachi Sister City Association (HKSCA) and Pakistan Chamber of Commerce – USA (PCC-USA).
Julie Coan of PBS Houston moderated the session before the screening of the movie, with brief statements given by the representatives of the two partnering organizations, namely Saeed Sheikh of HKSCA and P. J. Khan Swati of PCC-USA.
People had mixed feelings about the documentary, as they commented and asked questions during the panel discussion after the filming of the documentary. The panel discussion was moderated by award-winning journalist Patricia Gras (Patty), featured internationally acclaimed author Bapsi Sidhwa (now lives in Houston and originally from Lahore, Pakistan); and University of St. Thomas Professor of Economics Dr. Javed Ashraf.
The documentary has several stereotypical images, like while talking about terrorism and extremism; people are shown establishing congressional prayers in mosques. Another image was of jovial faced Indian leaders after the independence, while enrage faced Pakistani leaders.
Most of the people agreed with Ms. Sidhwa that the heroin of the documentary is BB and the whole film revolves around that theme and angle. The film portrayed BB as a brave lady, who originally had to wear Burqa, but then her charismatic dad Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto allowed her to come out of it, being one of the first ladies in the Bhutto family to do that. Some people felt that mistakes made by BB in terms of not fully supporting political culture in Pakistan by having it within her party, was not much highlighted in the documentary, while others said that BB fought & died for democracy.
Several people were bemused by the comments in the documentary of famous professor Dr. Akbar Ahmed, who somehow termed BB as mystic and Sufi.
Many people talked about the role of army in Pakistan and its corruption. Some said doubting comments if Pakistan and Pakistanis will ever embrace democracy.
On this our media representative at the event reminded that somehow people worldwide keep forgetting that the birth of Pakistan in fact came through a constitutional, political, and democratic struggle: So existence of Pakistan has very deep roots in democracy and political activism.
In a write-up, Duane Baughman, Director and Producer of the documentary "BHUTTO", has said that he watched CNN in horror on Dec. 27, 2007, when Benazir Bhutto, the first woman in history to lead a Muslim nation, was blown away by a suicide bomber. Millions felt Benazir was the best hope for democracy and progress in that strategically critical nuclear-armed country. He has written that before Benazir's death a close colleague of his reconnected him with Benazir's advisor and close friend Mark Siegel, who had been pulling together American consultants on her behalf in anticipation of her 3rd rise to power in Pakistan. Three days after her death, Mr. Baughman watched Mark Siegel desperately trying – almost singlehandedly – to keep Benazir's legacy alive by making the rounds on every conceivable news show. Before long, he spoke about telling the world Benazir's story via a documentary film; and that is when they started to work on this documentary in Dubai, talking to her widower Asif Ali Zardari and three of her heartbroken children.
Duane Baughman has brought this angle in the story of BB that the Bhutto's are called the "Kennedy's of Pakistan." Ironically, at Harvard, BB's roommate was Bobby Kennedy's daughter, Kathleen Kennedy.
Again the Public Broadcasting Corporation (PBS) Houston Channel 8 will be airing this documentary called "BHUTTO" on Tuesday, May 10th, 2011 at 10:00pm. under their "Independent Lens Series".
Growing Questions on Death of Benazir Bhutto
September 24, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Bruce Loudon, The Australian
UNITED Nations investigators are preparing to question former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf about the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, amid mounting doubts over official versions of how she died and claims of a cover-up.
The Weekend Australian Magazine reveals today evidence that a bullet – probably sniper fire from a high-velocity rifle – killed the former prime minister.
The Musharraf regime said a "bump on the head" resulting from a Taliban or al-Qa'ida suicide bomber killed Bhutto on December 27, 2007, shortly before an election she was expected to win.
This evidence contradicts the regime's claim that the murder was the work of the Pakistan Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud, who was killed in a US unmanned drone attack.
There is no history of the militants using sniper fire – or even regular gunfire – in any of the hundreds of suicide attacks they have mounted in Pakistan.
Also revealed in The Weekend Australian Magazine is detail of the cover-up that followed Bhutto's murder. The crime scene in Liaquat Bagh, a park in Rawalpindi, was washed with high-pressure hoses within 45 minutes of the blast, destroying almost all forensic evidence.
Naheed Khan, Bhutto's political secretary for 23 years, who cradled her head as she died, told The Weekend Australian Magazine: "There were bullets coming from different directions. There are lots of high buildings overlooking the area. This was a typical intelligence (agency) operation."
Ms Khan's husband, senator Safdar Abbasi, who is also a doctor, was in the Toyota Landcruiser when Bhutto was attacked. "The way she died – her instant death – suggests very sharp sniper fire. A typical intelligence (agency) operation."
The Weekend Australian Magazine reveals that, despite the law in Pakistan mandating autopsies in all cases of murder, and doctors attending Bhutto telling police that one should be carried out, none was performed on her or others who died in Liaquat Bagh.
Within hours, her body had been flown to Sindh province for burial, without a full forensic examination.
There is no suggestion of any involvement by Mr Musharraf in her murder. But the UN investigators want to question the former general. Given the authority he wielded in Pakistan, including over the army and its agencies, Mr Musharraf, 66, is thought to be in a better position than most to cast light on events surrounding the assassination.
At his apartment off London's Edgeware Road, living under the protection of the British government, Mr Musharraf has appeared untroubled by demands to bring him back to Pakistan. He has played bridge with friends and eaten out during the holy month of Ramadan.
An internationally brokered secret deal allowed Mr Musharraf to step down and assured his future security.
After long delays in getting Security Council approval for its mission, the UN investigators started looking into Bhutto's death in July and are expected to report to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon this year.
The investigators are reported to be preparing to talk to people in London and Washington, including CNN presenter Wolf Blitzer. On October 20, 2007, Bhutto sent Blitzer an email, through a friend, reading: "If it is God's will, nothing will happen to me. But if anything happened to me, I would hold Pervez Musharraf responsible."
Investigations into Bhutto's killing are the subject of controversy in Pakistan.

"Pakistan People's Party (PPP) represents the whole country, as we have strong presence in all the provinces of Pakistan and we have always worked for the reign of democracy and never accepted dictatorship. The sacrifices of their own lives by the founder of the party Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and recently Benazir Bhutto, have been for stronger and democratic Pakistan and under the present able leadership of PPP, we will achieve the dream of good governance in Pakistan as we will finish our tenure of five years:" These were the sentiments of Mir Gul Mahmood Jakhrani, Federal Minister Pakistan. He was on a short visit to Houston, after attending 25th Annual Convention of Sindhi Association of North America (SANA), which was held at Saint Louis, Missouri between July 2nd and 6th, 2009.

Hillcroft to be "Gandhi Avenue"?
Efforts are underway, by the India Culture Center, to change the name of Hillcroft between Highway 59 and Westpark to "Gandhi Avenue" before October 02, 2009, which is the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi and the International Non-Violence Day. Some are in favor, while others are not.
Those who favor it, say that Houston is an international city and this diversity should be reflected in the names of the various streets of Houston. Also as Gandhi's name is associated with Non-Violence, that will help to restrain crime and ferocity in the area.
Since Hillcroft, between Highway 59 and Westpark, has many international shops and restaurants from South Asia, those in favor of the change in name are saying that this section of roadway qualifies for the new name, which can be either Mahatma Gandhi Street or Gandhi Avenue.
There are others, who say that since majority of businesses are South Asian, it will be proper, if both Indian and Pakistani personality names are part of the new name for Hillcroft, like Gandhi-Jinnah Avenue.
Houston City Council Person M. J. Khan is favoring the change saying if majority of the people of the area want the name to be altered, then it should be changed.
However there are others, who feel that this same area has famous businesses belonging to Spanish, Guatemalan, Arab and Persian Communities: As such they feel that if there is need to change the name, it should be all inclusive.
Indo-Pak Nuclear Diplomacy Continues, Unaffected By Mumbai-Terror Strikes
January 8, 2009 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Nilofar Suhrawardy, MMNS India Correspondent
NEW DELHI: Notwithstanding the war-hysteria raised on both sides over Mumbai terror-strikes, they have not refrained from pursuing agreements inked regarding their decision to abstain from being engaged in open conflict. Adhering to the nuclear deterrence pact, India and Pakistan inked in 1988, the two countries exchanged lists of nuclear installations and facilities through diplomatic channels simultaneously at New Delhi and Islamabad on 1 January. Since their becoming nuclear powers and subsequently inking the deterrence pact, though Indo-Pak ties have ranged from being cordial to tense- as they are at present over the Mumbai terror strikes- they have continued the practice of exchanging these lists. The "Agreement on Prohibition of Attack against Nuclear Installations and Facilities" was signed between India and Pakistan by the then Prime Ministers Rajiv Gandhi and Benazir Bhutto on 31 December 1998. It entered into force on 27 January 1991.
"Under the agreement, the two countries, on first January of every calendar year, are to inform each other of Nuclear Installations and Facilities to be covered by the agreement," a press release from Indian ministry of external affairs stated. "The first such exchange of lists took place on 1 January 1992. This is the eighteenth consecutive time that both countries have exchanged such a list," the statement said.
The agreement details the location of nuclear-related facilities in the two countries. Despite the two countries having come close to war, the exchange of lists has not stopped, sources said. Even when the two countries were in state of high alert in 2001, they exchanged the lists. Defying apprehensions raised about their nearing a conflict or conflict-like stage over the Mumbai terror strikes, they exchanged the lists this year too.
Ever since the two countries conducted nuclear tests, the western powers – particularly United States- have expressed concern about their nuclear prowess leading to a nuclear war in South Asia as India and Pakistan are known as permanent enemies with their being no sign of their resolving differences over long-standing disputes, including the Kashmir issue. Though since 1998, they have come close to war, once over the Kargil-issue and war-hysteria has been raised after the Mumbai terror strikes, India and Pakistan have not been engaged in any open conflict since achieving nuclear prowess. In this context, Indo-Pak nuclear diplomacy, resting on their bilateral understanding of nuclear deterrence defies fears raised earlier about their nuclear-status leading to Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) in South Asia.
Undeniably, apprehensions still prevail on whether nuclear weapons would contribute to stability in South Asia. Concern has been voiced over unintentional/intentional targeting of nuclear facilities by militants in either country and/or access to the same falling in wrong hands fuelling nuclear tension in the sub-continent. To date, however, Indo-Pak nuclear diplomacy only stands as a commendable illustration of their deterrence ensuring military restraint and a check on their moving towards open conflict. This may be illustrated briefly by the role played by nuclear prowess of the two nations, taking their ties from the stage of conflict to no-conflict in the first stage. Without doubt, there was a period when India remained suspicious about Pakistan's nuclear ambitions. The first major step in taking their ties to a positive level was the six-point accord reached between the then President of Pakistan General Zia-ul-Haq and Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in December 1985 in Delhi. Their agreement on not attacking each other's nuclear installations was hailed as a significant step in establishing mutual confidence. This principle was re-emphasized when Gandhi and Bhutto signed the agreement in December 1988 in Islamabad.
Strangely, but definitely, there is a parallel between nuclear ambitions of India and Pakistan and a decisive improvement in their bilateral ties. It would not be wrong to state that their respective nuclear drives' impact on the upswing in their relations fits into the theory of "classic deterrence." Earlier than this, the two countries -known to shift between the stage of conflict, no-conflict and/or avoidance of conflict- had not even given serious consideration to the idea of entertaining cordial and/or friendly ties. The very principle of not attacking each other's nuclear installations marked the beginning of some sort of nuclear dialogue between the two. Had they not taken this step, that of considering the deterrent factor, the past two decades may have been marked by constant threat of a nuclear holocaust erupting any moment in the subcontinent. Equally significant was their decision to resolve their nuclear tensions bilaterally. This also implied their accepting each other's nuclear development. Had they criticized each other's nuclear intentions and designs unilaterally, the issue may have assumed serious proportions for multilateral deliberations. With the two nuclear powers sharing border, notwithstanding their disputes, they opted for a strategy that best suited their interests, unilaterally as well as bilaterally, that is work towards normalization of Indo-Pak ties. Interestingly, notwithstanding all the diplomatic hype raised over the Mumbai-terror strikes, India and Pakistan have ruled out prospects of going to war on this. This only suggests that they are not likely to backtrack- for quite some time- from the wise and rational nuclear diplomacy they have pursued so far.
A Doomed Presidency
September 18, 2008 by TMO · Leave a Comment
A doomed presidency: With the army poised for a coup and the Taliban winning hearts, Zardari doesn't stand a chance
Courtesy Peter Preston, The Guardian
Forget labels. In reality, two giant parties struggle perennially for power in Pakistan. One is the politicians' party, whose candidate, Asif Ali Zardari, has just been elected president. The other is the army party, which prefers bazookas to ballot boxes. Democracy in this pivotal country is a frail blossom. And Zardari is as frail as they come.
The crude apology for a party system in Pakistan is 60 years old and shows scant sign of changing. First, the politicians have an election and govern for a while. When they falter, the generals take over. Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, Zia ul-Haq, Pervez Musharraf – they come and go, punctuated briefly by elected prime ministers (mostly called Bhutto). It's a malign sort of game, growing perilously close to an endgame now. Indeed, President Zardari's inevitably brief tenure may well be the end of it all as a third party – young, idealistic, fervent and brave – begins to tip the board over. You may not have heard the Taliban so described before, but that doesn't mean that brute force isn't with them.
In the wake of Benazir Bhutto's murder by hands unknown last December, the Pakistan People's party had a triumphant election. It possessed just enough numbers in the national and provincial parliaments to deliver the presidency, but you'd be hard pressed to invent a more hopeless, doomed prospectus.
This president isn't a politician. He's a businessmen who's been haplessly entangled in too much monkey business over the years. Nine years in prison for corruption on trumped-up charges? Perhaps they have never been fully, fairly investigated, but to too many Pakistanis he is Mr Ten Per Cent. He vows to fight against the Taliban and defend US interests, even when they include US special forces staging bloody raids inside Pakistan's borders. He promises to put right a broken, increasingly beleaguered economy, and to spend another $15bn of American aid wisely and well. But what comes next will be failure, unpopularity and a new tide of sleaze allegations.
A year or two down the line, the men in braid will sense a familiar opportunity and mount another coup. Washington, glad to have the military back at the top, will find another $15bn. The army will buy more guns, and feed more of its private bank accounts. The looting of Pakistan's hope and Pakistan's future will proceed on schedule.
The twin supposed champions of democracy – Zardari and Nawaz Sharif – couldn't have made a lousier fist of the past eight months: any sense of national interest was lost immediately in an orgy of squabbling. The governing party couldn't have chosen a worse candidate for commander in chief (retaining most of Musharraf's powers). And Nato's American leadership, insisting increasingly shrilly that feebleness in Islamabad will give Waziristan's cross-border invaders free rein in Afghanistan, couldn't be hastening the demise of democracy more idiotically.
Zardari announced his arrival – to the Washington Post – as a warrior from Sind bent on destroying the 'Lahore-Islamabad oligarchy'. The oligarchs scheduled for destruction are Sharif and a military top brass trapped between a new leadership they despise and a religious insurrection that is beginning to dismember the nation.
Yet the Taliban, whom the generals must defeat to get America's billions, are much more than a gang of terrorist thugs. They are also a madcap reform movement of young men disgusted by corruption and the godless wheeler-dealers they think have drained the purity out of Jinnah's 'pure state', and the success they're experiencing in the borderlands and beyond shows that many ordinary Pakistanis agree with them. It's a battle for hearts and minds and, on his record, Asif Ali Zardari is the predestined loser of last resort.

Lance Cpl. Kyle Carpenter takes part of the first corporals course for wounded warriors at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Bethesda, Md., Jan. 12. Carpenter sustained wounds to the right side of his body from an enemy grenade in Marjah, Afghanistan, November 2010. The class graduated Jan. 16. (U.S. Marine Corps)
Tuesday, May 20, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Cpl. Kyle Carpenter, who earned the Medal of Honor, recently recounted his actions in a grenade attack that earned him the award.
Carpenter says he was lying on his back on a rooftop in Marjah, Afghanistan, alongside his friend and fellow Marine, Lance Cpl. Nicholas Eufrazio. When Taliban insurgents lobbed a grenade on the roof, Carpenter threw himself in front of Eufrazio to protect him.
His list of injuries is long: He lost his right eye and his left was injured, both eardrums were blown, most of his teeth were blown out and much of his jaw was missing. He badly injured both arms, his right lung collapsed and he had shrapnel wounds in his legs.
President Barack Obama will present him with the military's highest honor on June 19.

The 13 Lines of Evidence for AGW
This comment is being posted around the blogosphere, including on Bishop Hill's site
Skeptics and conspiracy buffs need to understand that even without any CRU data nor the publications of it scientists, there are MULTIPLE lines of evidence for AGW:
1) UAH, RSS, and GISS show warming
2) Rapidly warming Arctic
3) Rapidly decreasing sea ice extent
4) Rapidly thinning sea ice
5) Rising ocean heat content
6) Cooling stratosphere
7) Net increase in downwelling LW
8 ) Net decreasing TOA LW emission
9) Increased species migrations/extinctions
10) Increased severe weather occurrences
11) Glacier mass loss and retreats increasing
12) Rising sea levels
13) Most importantly: rapidly rising human emissions of GHGs that have not been seen in millions of years.
None of these things read emails and have decided to play along in a massive international conspiracy.
Scott A. Mandia, Professor - Meteorology
I admit I had to do a bit of research on the LW downwelling (radiation in the Long Wave spectrum that is bouncing about the atmosphere) reasons and I think I have found the relevant figures
The global figures graphed out:
Maybe I got the wrong figures but that doesn't convince me that man is warming the atmosphere. And none of the other arguments work either.
Over the last few centuries it has been warming, the sea has been gently rising, the ice has retreated but that doesn't prove anything about man's involvement. The arctic temperature argument is dealt with at Watts Up as is the sea ice alarms.
Severe weather? Is that Hurricanes, don't make me laugh and Ocean heat - purleeaze!
And the thirteenth and most important argument that rising levels of man made GHG prove AGW can be filed under non sequitur.
Are these really the best arguments that we can be presented with?

In 1987, fresh out of Harvard Law School, Jeffrey Toobin landed a job with Lawrence Walsh, the special prosecutor investigating the Iran-contra scandal. Toobin's engaging Opening Arguments describes the education of a young lawyer and the public drama of his first case, United States v. Oliver North.
Despite a handful of tidbits about CIA bribery in Costa Rica and what Toobin characterizes as then Assistant Secretary of State Elliott Abrams' narrow escape from prosecution, the value of Toobin's story lies in its description of the obstacles that Walsh's team faced. In the North trial, documents made public in the press often could not be admitted as evidence, on the grounds that they were still officially ''classified.'' And Congress, ''with its precipitous immunity grants and vacuous hearings,'' as Toobin acidly writes, further complicated the logistics of introducing admissable evidence. In the end, he says convincingly, it's futile to use ''the criminal process to expose or correct governmental misdeeds.''
Walsh's office made a sustained and well-publicized effort to block the publication of Opening Arguments. It's hard for an outsider to see why. Though undeniably indiscreet and sometimes self-serving, the young lawyer's memoir seems a sincere effort to show ordinary citizens how justice is done (and left undone) in America. B

Nassau Chainsaw DDC is pleased to announce the release of our newest music video for our song "Requip" off of our last EP entitled DisGraceLanD. Unlike our last video for the song "Vomitorium," this video was completely a DIY effort, and was shot on a very low budget. But don't assume for a second that the quality or substance of this video is lacking in any way at all. If you know NCDDC, you know we work hard and don't half ass anything! Only official tissue! What you can expect is a dope video, shot and directed by Doug Sakmann and RazoR (with a little help from our NCDDC & DisGraceLanD Family), with our own cameras, effects, editing, lighting, staging and heavy fuckin' music!
Over the past year Razor has been on the hunt and mission to acquire and learn how to utilize newer versions of video editing programs, performance gear, and recording equipment, thus expanding our live show performances, and the ability of what NCDDC is capable of doing as a whole. This helped enable the band to shoot and record our very own music video for the first time. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it! Directed By: Doug Sackmann Filmed by Doug Sakmann, Amanda Clary, Danny Weizmann & Mikee for all their help with filming. Also we want to give shout out to the DisGraceLanD Crew for showing up and participating in what was a very long day--which included a day long video shoot in Brooklyn, followed by a performance in Long Island later that night.
We don't plan on stopping this approach... We already have ideas and music for our NEXT video. Although Nassau Chainsaw's next music video will also be a DIY effort, it will be based on a completely different premise, will have a plot and story line, and will not even feature a band performance. But that's all we can tell for now... So stay tuned freaks!
WATCH IN HD...... Post This Everywhere!!!!
Check NCDDC out live in CT @ Toads Place w/DBW & Sworn Enemy July20th!

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama faced mounting pressure Wednesday to express support for same-sex marriage after a setback for gay-rights advocates in North Carolina.
Republicans there turned out in force Tuesday night to vote to strengthen the state's gay marriage ban. The passage of the state constitutional amendment, by a whopping 61 percent of the vote, proves that the topic remains a powerful election-year wedge issue despite tough economic times. It also illustrates the risks for the president as Democrats press him to do what no other has before: back gay marriage.
The vote - in a state that Obama won in 2008 and that will host his nominating convention in September - came just days after Vice President Joe Biden and Education Secretary Arne Duncan voiced their support for gay marriage in back-to-back television interviews, comments the White House insisted were not intended to pave the way for Obama to embrace gay marriage.
Yet, Obama appeared ready to add his voice to this week's debate in a Wednesday afternoon interview with ABC News that the White House hastily arranged. He was expected to be pressed in the interview on his views on gay marriage.
White House officials would not say whether the president planned to announce a shift in his position.
Obama backs many gay rights; he does not support gay marriage but says his personal views are evolving.
In recent days, the issue has started to roil the presidential race. The White House has been inundated with questions about the president's position. And GOP rival Mitt Romney - who has an inconsistent record on gay rights but long has been opposed to same-sex marriage - trying to sidestep the matter at a time when most Americans say they support gay unions.
By Wednesday, the president found himself caught between two schools of thought among his backers.
Some top aides argued that gay marriage is toxic at the ballot box in battleground states like North Carolina and Virginia because, as Tuesday's vote proved, the issue remains a reliable way to fire up rank-and-file Republicans. It also could open Obama up to Republican criticism that he was taking his eye off the economy, voters' No. 1 issue.
Other Democratic supporters claim Obama could energize huge swaths of the party, including young people, by voicing his support for gay marriage before November. He also could appeal to independent voters, many of whom back gay marriage, and he could create an area of clear contrast between himself and his Republican rival as he argues that he's delivered on the change he promised four years ago.
On Tuesday, former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, a Democrat, told Obama to "man up" and take a position on gay marriage.
If Obama doesn't do so soon, the calls for him to do so likely will only grow. Obama is scheduled to headline two high-dollar fundraisers for gay and lesbian supporters, including one in New York on Monday. And several prominent Democrats, including his campaign co-chair Caroline Kennedy, are pushing for support for gay marriage to be included in the party platform that will be ratified when Obama accepts the Democratic nomination.
For Romney and the Republicans, the topic comes with both benefits and drawbacks given that polls show that a slim majority of the country - and an increasing number of independent voters - now support same-sex unions.
Romney was treading carefully as the hot-button issue re-emerged in the campaign. He favors a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, saying the policy should be set federally, not by states. But some conservatives question Romney's record on gay rights issues and point to his assertion in a 1994 Senate campaign that he supports "full equality" for gays and lesbians.
On Wednesday, he told KDVR-TV in Denver that "I do not favor marriage between people of the same gender, and I do not favor civil unions if they are identical to marriage other than by name. My view is the domestic partnership benefits, hospital visitation rights, and the like are appropriate but that the others are not."
The Romney campaign did not respond to questions about which benefits the Republican candidate would oppose.
The former Massachusetts governor told an Ohio television station Monday that he believes "marriage is between a man and a woman, and that's a position I've had for some time and I don't intend to make any adjustments at this point - or ever, by the way."
Public opinion on gay marriage has shifted in recent years, with most polls now finding the public tilting in favor of legal same-sex marriages.

New York City typically does not have GOP primaries, but it's a different story this year, as three Republicans running to replace Mayor Michael Bloomberg. While they generally have favorable things to say about the mayor, some candidates are making it clear they would do things differently. NY1's Grace Rauh filed the following report.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg favors an open office where he is surrounded by his top aides, but if Joseph Lhota becomes the next mayor, the bullpen at City Hall is going away. "I would have a very different management style than Mike Bloomberg," Lhota said.
Lhota said the mayor treats his commissioners as if they are chief executive officers. He said they are allowed to run their agencies independently without involvement from City Hall.
Lhota, who was a deputy mayor under Rudolph Giuliani, said he would do things differently.
"I have a much more centralized approach," he said. "I think the mayor is the chief executive officer."
Billionaire businessman John Catsimatidis said he believes in the bullpen model. George McDonald, the founder of the Doe Fund, refused to answer the question.
As for the debate over the New York City Police Department's stop, question and frisk policy, Catsimatidis predicted that it will soon disappear in the next year or two as new technology renders it useless.
"It's going to be a robot or a handgun that identifies if somebody is carrying a concealed weapon," Catsimatidis said.
Lhota, meanwhile, took a shot at a plan backed by City Council Speaker Christine Quinn to create an inspector general for the New York City Police Department. He does not think one is needed, but he also does not think the inspector general will be effective, since Quinn is proposing that the position become part of the city's Department of Investigation.
"Having an inspector general that reports to the mayor with oversight over the mayor's appointee absolutely makes no sense," Lhota said.
The candidates won over the Upper East Side crowd when they all denounced the mayor's plan to open a waste station in the neighborhood. They all said that Manhattan's garbage should go to New Jersey.
"The garbage trucks just go right to New Jersey, dump it and then come back," McDonald said. "What could be more efficient than that?" The crowd also got riled up when the candidates were asked about the scarcity of local buses in the neighborhood. Lhota, who used to run the MTA, admitted that he gets annoyed when he is waiting for a local bus and sees too many express buses passing him by.

Associated Press
Oil prices pushed back above $93 per barrel Monday as sentiment in financial markets was shored up by the formation of an Italian government and expectations of an interest rate reduction from the European Central Bank later this week.
By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for June delivery was up 35 cents to $93.35 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 64 cents to close at $93 in New York on Friday after figures showed the U.S. economy grew by an annualized rate of 2.5 percent in the first three months of the year.
Analysts said the recent run of disappointing U.S. data will likely limit the advance of oil prices.
"Unless the economy picks up, we are unlikely to see any sustained recovery of oil prices," analysts at Commerzbank in Frankfurt said in a note.
Though the global growth picture has largely disappointed of late, investors think it's increasingly likely that the world's leading central banks will maintain their loose monetary policies for a while yet.
And in the case of the European Central Bank, there's an expectation in the markets that the benchmark interest rate will be cut from the current record low of 0.75 percent to 0.50 percent.
A weaker dollar also helped boost oil prices by making crude priced in dollars cheaper for traders using other currencies.
"The euro started to strengthen further, supported by news that a new government is finally in place in Italy and continued hopes that we may get lower interest rates from the ECB later in the week," a report from Sucden Financial Research in London said. On Monday, the euro was up to $1.31 from $1.3065 late Friday in New York.
Brent crude, which is used to price oil from the North Sea used by many U.S. refiners, was down 2 cents to $103.14 on the ICE futures exchange in London.
In other energy futures trading on Nymex:
-- Wholesale gasoline fell 1.63 cents at $2.811 a gallon.
-- Heating oil retreated 1.71 cents to $2.849 a gallon.
-- Natural gas added 3.4 cents to $4.257.

Investigators say a worker accidentally fell to his death down an elevator shaft at an office building in Manhattan Friday.
It happened at 230 West 38th Street in Midtown. Police say Robert Melito, 44, was servicing an elevator on the 10th floor when he fell.
He was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he later died.
Building workers are disturbed by what happened.
"I heard a scream a little bit, and then after that they really did not give out any information," said one worker.
"It's very upsetting, it's very eerie," said another.
The Buildings Department has taken the elevator out of operation until a full investigation is complete.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- The devil's in the details, but when it comes to the pages of New York State and federal gun control measures, school officials say they've found some good.
Currently, the state doles out money to school districts to help them pay for building improvements. Each district has its own aid ratio. Under the new NY SAFE Act, the state will bump schools' aid ratios by 10 percent.
The extra money is for security devices, like cameras and stationary metal detectors.
Our federal government is also pitching in. One of the 23 executive orders President Obama signed Wednesday provides incentives for school resource officers.
School leaders say the money couldn't come at a better time.
NYS School Board Association Executive Director Tim Kremer said, "If there's a pool of money there available for us and we could use that to upgrade access into our schools, we'll take advantage of that."
Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Superintendent Patrick McGrath said, "You take care of roofs, you take care of windows, you take care of busing and transportation, and you take care of security. Those are kind of the baseline things."
