The Rand Report & Counter-terrorism in America
by Affad Shaikh
The RAND Corporation is a think tank that recently released a paper entitled "Would-Be Warriors – Incidents of Jihadist Terrorist Radicalization in the United States since September 11, 2001."
For the past five years I have had the opportunity to watch law enforcement develop counter terrorism strategies, specifically in how it affects the Muslim community. While I do not consider myself an expert, I firmly believe after having watched the trial and error approach to counter terrorism strategies, that the civil liberties and rights of Muslims have been undermined. But far worse is the collateral damage our community has faced with broken trust and disunity. The strategy itself is a direct response to developing real life cases and issues, as well as analyzing past failed attempts to prevent terrorist acts.
Since 9/11 there has been a vacuum in understanding the American Muslim community, as well as Islam's philosophy. In this vacuum there has developed a literal "virtual industry" of "Islamic experts" on terrorism, radicalization, Islam and Muslims. These experts include the infamous Daniel Pipes, Steven Emerson and the likes of Bridgett Gabriel. Fear and ignorance further fuel the bigotry and Islamophobia of these online experts, actually giving their ideas stature and influence in law enforcement circles via policy papers. The Rand Institute is amongst the group of think tanks that generates policy papers and analytical reports that influence government agencies and politicians. The recent Rand study presents a disturbing development in counter terrorism efforts, which requires a serious pause of reflection by all American Muslim communities.
To understand the Rand report there needs to be context of two prior efforts by the New York Police Department (NYPD) and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). Both groups criminalized Islamic religious practices and approached the community as suspects.1 The efforts were an undermining of the first and fourteenth amendment rights of American Muslim communities and indicated the disturbing counter terrorism practices that were being instituted within law enforcement.
To understand the implications of these efforts one only needs to look toward the shift in draconian measures post-9/11 America. Law enforcement, policy experts and politicians faced by the immensity of terrorism, along with the fear and ignorance that swept the intelligence collapse in preventing the 9/11 terrorists, enacted the Patriot Act I and II. Essentially the law shifted police efforts toward preventive efforts – or counter-terrorism. Simply put, they want to catch a terrorist before an act of terrorism takes place, rather than apprehend a terrorist or associate after an attack. However, rather than work within a criminal investigative framework, preventive efforts required significant power and expansive ability to collect intelligence domestically, all of which have limited oversight, vast discretion to individual officers and little due process. No one wants another terrorist attack, and Muslims must be part of the effort to prevent any such attack from taking place, yet no one should stand the prospect of losing the rights and liberties that we are trying to protect.
What the Rand report now suggests is the successful coupling of counter terrorism efforts – information gathering in all its dubious shades from informants to watch lists, FBI voluntary interviews to suspicious activities' reports, bank transaction reports to phone and electronic surveillance – in conjunction with community outreach and partnership efforts. Rand identifies that the best strategy for counter terrorism is to partner with the Muslim community and investigate it at the same time!
"These efforts must entail working with the [Muslim] community actively and consistently to address issues of crime, fears of crime, the suspicions of authorities, and other community concerns" while law enforcement works to "gather information through intelligence operations" to prevent "dramatic terrorist actions."
What is fascinating about the report is that during the 1970's the United States saw greater terrorist violence then in our past decade. Apparently, today's terrorists do not have any particular characteristic. When looking at the 46 publicly reported cases of domestic "radicalization and recruitment" in the US (which the Rand report suggests were largely based on the use of informants), further reading identifies "possible abuses in the employment of confidential informants, especially given… the difficulty of determining intent, [and] since one of the characteristics of many terrorist perpetrators is their malleability… informants are also likely… to display undiluted zeal in order to gain credibility among jihadist zealots." Thus, the informants can easily become agents provocateurs', subtly coaxing radicalized but hesitant individuals into action."
Here in Southern California we have had our fare share of agent provocateurs. However, a serious question is raised for all Muslim community leaders about the necessity to partner with law enforcements. If law enforcement efforts toward community policing are for the sake of identifying and investigating our community, does it facilitate their efforts of protection to further destroy our community's cohesive bonds, trust and does it undermine our own community's civil rights and liberties?
I ask that question first and foremost to myself because I work as a Civil Rights advocate for the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Southern California, but I hope to inform that decision by community input, because at the end of the day I represent the community interest.
I have presented to you a brief analysis of the recent Rand report and the background that raises concerns about our continued efforts with law enforcement given the mindset that counter terrorism has embedded into law enforcement. I ask what form, if at all any, should partnerships with law enforcement look like?

- The NYPD report on Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism presented the conflation of faith with terrorism and criminal behavior; the LAPD initiated a 'Muslim Mapping project that empowered the LAPD's Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) to reach out and develop community policing partnerships in which LAPD would map out Los Angeles' Muslim ethnicities, social status, education, political views and the religious ideologies. ↩

Muslims should not partner in these counter terror strategy's, which are more about changing Islam and Muslims than about terror, but unite against them and expose them. That's what happened in the UK and it made these strategy's unworkable:
shrink the size of government, reduce spending, reduce taxes, end the wars, bring all the troops back from overseas bases, end the TSA, NSA, CIA, and FBI. leave security up to the free market, let people protect their own property however they want as long as they don't violate others' person or property. thats just my opinion, anyway.
Howdy! I hope you don't mind but I decided to publish your weblog: http://www.suhaibwebb.com/society/domestic-affairs/the-rand-report-and-counter-terrorism-strategy-in-the-us/ to my internet
directory website. I used, " The Rand Report & Counter-terrorism in America"
as your weblog title. I hope this is okay with you.
In the event that you'd like me to change the title or remove it entirely, e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you so much.
Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic however ,
I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring
a blog post or vice-versa? My blog addresses a lot of the same topics as yours and I think
we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to shoot me an e-mail.
I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way!

M11x Battery not recognized, cannot charge
Hi, all,
When I boot up (before windows screen), the system displays "battery not recognized, ... cannot be charged. Press F1 to continue and F5 for diagnose" , and I cannot press F2 for system settings.
I clicked F5, and no error was found with the dell default testing.
This issue appears recently. I have no idea how to fix it, in windows, the system does not charge the battery at all. I wonder if it is because the battery is flaw.
Or anything I can do to fix it.

Re: M11x Battery not recognized, cannot charge
You could remove the screws on the bottom panel and try to reseat the battery and see if that resolves the issue. Or if that idea makes you squimish, contact tech support and see if they will replace your battery, as long as it's under warranty, you should be fine.

Re: M11x Battery not recognized, cannot charge
I had this problem a few times, I forced the shut down by holding the power button, and then after a few secs I power up the computer and it worked fine.
I had this problem like 2-3 times only, and after that I don't remember ever having that problem again, it's been like 3 months, since then.

I'm all about bitches who holla back at street harassment. But even cooler? When ESPN reporter Erin Andrews was caught on a camera phone telling off a "fan" in the stands who yelled at her as she stood on the sidelines, "I'm gonna watch your video tomorrow." He was referencing, of course, the creepy nude videos filmed through hotel room peepholes by a stalker last year. Andrews' eyebrows rose straight up and she walked over to the seats to ask him what he just said. The guy didn't respond. "If you are going to be cool enough to say that, man up to it," she shot back, turned around and walked away. I hope that jerk melted into a puddle of embarrassment while all his buddies laugh at him. You go, girl! Erin Andrews, 1. Cat-calling loser, 0. [Huffington Post] Keep reading »

Farrelly Brothers Cast Amanda Bynes in 'Hall Pass'
Wednesday, February 17 by
We've reported previously about the Farrelly Brothers upcoming Hall Pass. It's the comedy that stars Owen Wilson as a man given a pass by his wife, Jenna Fischer, to pursue extra-marital ass-tappings for one week. Now there's word that child actor turned tappable-ass Amanda Bynes has joined the cast. Possibly as a young ass that will be granted tapping amnesty.That could be good but I've got an axe to grind with Bynes. She's one of those girls (Kaley Cuoco is another offender) who made goofy faces during their recent Maxim shoots. It's confusing for the penis. I hope she doesn't do that in bed. Like, all of a sudden she's winking at you while you're in the throws. She's definitely on my list and had better clean her act up if she wants to be on my other list. (Variety)
'Shutter Island' Actress Emily Mortimer
Wednesday, February 17 by Defy Media
Emily Mortimer pops up in a film every once in awhile and I'm quite sure you say to yourself, "Oh it's that lovely lady," but maybe a naughtier version. She's fantastic in Match Point, and if it wasn't for Scarlett Johansson, she'd be the hottest actress in that movie.A word from Emily: "…acting was something I pretended I didn't want to do as I was growing up."We all try to convince ourselves we shouldn't invest in shameful, egotistical professions like acting. Or blogging. You can't deny the camera loves Emily in the pics after the jump.
Apatow, Feig Trying On Wiig
Wednesday, February 17 by
Freaks and Geeks producers Judd Apatow and Paul Feig are finally joining forces again to grant Kristen Wiig her first starring role in a feature film. Feig will direct, Apatow will produce, and Wiig will almost certainly act awkward. Universal Pictures is keeping the logline under wraps, those sneaky devils, but it is described as revolving around women competing to plan a friend's wedding party.Really? Are we going to do THAT movie again? Weddings, competitions, and cake icing in various cracks has been up on the silver screen more than Sharon Stone's whispering eye. I, like everyone else in the all the land, was a big fan of Freeks and Geeks, so I have faith that Apatow and Feig will bring a much needed not-eye-gaugingly-painful spin to the trite concept. Then again, we could just be looking at another Bride Wars with Wiig making digs under her breath and pulling something sexual/dead out of her pocket at the most inappropriate moment. (Variety)
Kevin Eubanks Is Out This Bitch
Wednesday, February 17 by
"If you come on my show, I'll pay you twice what Conan did to masturbate half as much."The most recent Late Night Wars have taken another casualty. Kevin Eubanks, The Tonight Show's snickering sweater-enthusiast and band leader, is reportedly leaving the show after the March 1st debut of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno: The Squeakquel. According to Extra, Kevin "wanted a change" which is Hollywood-speak for "f*ck this sh*t." There's no word yet on what other opportunities Eubanks plans to pursue or how Leno will move forward without his only fan. Hootie and the Blowfish's Hootie Darius Rucker is rumored to be replacing. He'd better work on his Hibbert. Good move Jay. Now how are we supposed to know when you've told a joke? (Extra)

'Erector Set' to Build Film Franchise
Wednesday, February 17 by
The days of making toys based off popular films are in the distant past due to the success of Transformers and GI Joe. Currently we have movies in production based upon Legos, Stretch Armstrong, View-Master, Battleship, Candyland, Barbie, Risk, Max Steele, Monopoly, and Bazooka Joe inexplicably. Feel free to lump another hastily decided upon toy-to-film adaptation onto that pile as it was announced that old timey plaything Erector Set will now be given the big screen treatment. Is it in 3D, you ask? Of course it is and I chide you for asking. As punishment, you have to buy stock in this movie. An independent film company has teamed up with Meccano Toy Company to build a franchise out of the antiquated toy. No plot details have been released because 'how?' Apparently Meccano has a CEO and his name is Michael Ingberg. He says, "It's perfect for a film franchise as it is certain to entertain but also stimulate creativity and imagination as the Erector toy system has done around the world for nearly a hundred years." There's no word which supermarket Inberg's office/vista cruiser is normally parked behind. (Coming Soon)

Little Kid Cast as Pre-Barbarian Conan
Tuesday, February 16 by
Last month we reported that Fake Lenny Kravitz had won the role of the titular barbarian in Marcus Nispel's remake of Conan. Today comes word that the role of young Conan will be played by Fake Joey Lawrence. Child actor Leo Howard, who was seen on screens as a little ninja in G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, will portray the miniature barbarian for the first reel of the movie. Congratulations to Leo. And I'm not just saying that because he harnesses the ability to kick me in the face. In fact, I'll give him my unlimited approval if he takes out Jaden Smith at the All Valley Karate Tournament. (Latino Review)
Kick-Ass Set Visit: McLovin vs. Vaughn. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Empire has some behind-the-scenes footage from their Kick-Ass set visit. It's equal parts corny intro, needless information, British humor, tea with Kit-Kats in it, Christopher Mintz-Plasse talking about his genitals, and an awesome on-set blow-up between director and star. MATTHEW VAUGHN (in regards to Mintz-Plasse): Do you think this boy will ever not be known as McLovin? CHRISTOPHER MINTZ-PLASSE: Do I? Yeah. MATTHEW VAUGHN (laughing him off): Good answer. CHRISTOPHER MINTZ-PLASSE: You're a dick! Oh, McLovin. Looks like we've got another Gary Coleman on our hands. (via Empire) CHECK OUT THE PISS-TAKING AFTER THE JUMP…

'Shutter Island' Actress Michelle Williams
Tuesday, February 16 by Defy Media
Michelle Williams may always be the "other girl" from Dawson's Creek, but she earned herself an Oscar nomination for Brokeback Mountain and all Katie Holmes has is Tom Cruise and a washed brain. Maybe her performance in Shutter Island will give people something other to associate her with than a dead Heath Ledger. A word from Michelle: "Outside of the business during a dry spell, I scooped ice cream at a country fair, and I ate more than I sold."Becoming a fatty is no way to win auditions, Michelle. But bringing the casting director ice cream is… What a conundrum!The pics after the jump are very straight-forward.

Marc Webb Meets with James Cameron to Discuss 3-D 'Spider-Man'
Tuesday, February 16 by
All my ladies in the house with they real hair, who don't need welfare… Make some noise!!!Looks like the makers of Sony's Spider-Man reboot are taking steps to ensure they don't completely mess it all up. Avatar producer John Landau announced that Marc Webb met with alpha-director James Cameron last week to discuss shooting in 3D. However, talks broke down with an abrupt cold-cock when Webb asked Cameron if he was sad that he never got to make his Spider-Man. Just kidding. The playdate seemed to go well and both Cameron and Webb enjoyed a lolly after the two finished playing trucks.From Landau:"Last [week] we met the director of [the next 'Spider-Man' film]. [Webb] wants to do the next one in 3D, which they've announced that they want to do. So, we want to try to support that as much as possible."He then went on to address the films that don't do 3D correctly:"Clash of The Titans is coming out in 3D; they're converting it very hastily into 3D. I'm not in favor if that. If you want to shoot a 3D movie, shoot it in 3D."Daaaamn, Landau. Dems be fightin' words. Though, I'd have to agree with him on this. Dude knows what he's talking about. Yet I'm torn given his position on pterodactyl rape. (MTV)

Hugo Weaving Phones in Megatron Voice
Tuesday, February 16 by
You can excuse any actor on the set of a Transformers film of phoning it in for a paycheck but in the case of Hugo Weaving, that's exactly what he did. In fact, the voice of Megatron has never met director Michael Bay."Michael Bay talks to me on the phone. I've never met him. We were doing the voice for the second one and I still hadn't seen the first one. I still didn't really know who the characters were and I didn't know what anything was."Well, I saw the movies and I still don't really know who the characters are or what anything is. My hope for the sequel is that everyone (robots included) wear name tags. And speaking of the sequel, from Weaving:"Oh no. They're not making another Transformers, are they?"My sentiments exactly.

To an extent, I can understand protecting birth parents' anonymity, but I cannot comprehend withholding medical records.
Aren't more adoptees and birth parents registering with agencies that connect them?
|Mon, 01-23-2006 - 2:33pm
I have something to say on the matter. I really think it depends on the situation. Of course I agree that medical records should be accessible. In fact, I wrote a short story wherein a woman called her daughter's biological father because she needed a bone marrow transplant. He refused to cooperate, didn't like needles, etc. etc.
My own personal experience? My husband adopted my 12yo DD. She does not know that he is not her biological father. Bio dad wanted nothing to do with me therefore her too. She has never known the man but has seen him in pictures as "Daddy's friend". He was a friend of DH. But DH was with me throughout the pregnancy and delivery. We separated for awhile and we got back together and when bio dad saw we were making a life together (another child on the way) he asked DH to push for the adoption so he could get out of support payments. DH was more than willing. He thinks of DD as is own and sometimes forgets she is not... so do most people.
Now I have not told DD this and hesitate to do so for several reasons. What kind of a whore was I? Do I want my daughter to know that I slept with two men in one week and didn't know which one was the father? Do I want her to begin throwing back at DH that he is not her real father (she is almost 13 after all)? Do I want her to think her sister is not her sister? They fight a lot and she has often said "Why did she have to be my sister?" I know she is her sister, but she may see it differently. And then there is the can of worms that can be opened... bio dad has at least 3 other daughters (by 3 other women).
I don't need any lectures on this. We (DH and I) have been to counselling about it. It is our decision to make and one day when we believe she is mature enough to handle it we will tell her (probably when she's 18!). As was mentioned, bio parents have the right to their privacy, especially if they have made new lives for themselves. But, every situation is different, every individual is different. One cannot speak for all.

Thanks for your support Vivi-Anne. As for my short story, ach! It was the very first one I ever wrote and is not very good. I have learned a lot since then. But if you REALLY want to read it I can post it or forward to you through email.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- When it comes to venturing into the international markets at this time, the best strategy is one that includes turning off the TV.
For months, the investing-related media has remained unwaveringly focused on the economic woes facing the members of the European Union monetary bloc. While the situation facing Italy, Spain, and other troubled regions of the EU is dire and is certainly worth monitoring, the constant stream of doom and gloom can be deafening for investors.
Looking to the closing weeks of the year, I encourage investors to make an effort to peel themselves away from the drama unfolding in Europe and redirect their focus on other corners of the globe. By expanding your geographic focus, you may find that there are still pockets of strength within this otherwise treacherous investing environment.
Although they have largely flown under the radar in recent months, many Latin American nations appear to be in a favorable position. I have set aside respectable slices of a number of my client portfolios to countries south of the United States.Over the course of the year, nations such as Chile and Peru have already enjoyed robust economic expansion in the face of looming doubts about the growth picture elsewhere. In addition, these countries and others like it are in a favorable position from a policy perspective. Whereas many have expressed their concerns about the lingering number of options available for policymakers in the U.S. and other parts of the globe, analysts note that Latin American central banks still have plenty of tools that can be used to ignite strength in the event of a near-term slowdown. In addition, while the troubles facing Europe have affected the performances of Latin American nations, many have noted that the overall impact on this region's markets will likely be limited. China is a far more important factor to keep an eye on as the continued demand from this emerging market giant will be crucial to buoying the expansive natural resource industries of nations like Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Peru.

How to Reset Your Modem & Router to Solve a Common Internet Problem
In this video lesson, I continue from the previous lesson where I explained how a router and modem work in non-technical terms and demonstrate how to hook them together. In this lesson I demonstrate a quick fix to a common Internet problem where you can't get online (make sure you use the link above to watch the first lesson if you missed it).
Using this tip can help save you a long time waiting on hold, or the expense of hiring a computer tech to come to your house when you could fix the problem yourself in a couple of minutes.
This will not solve all Internet problems, but a majority of the time when you can't get online (and there's not a major problem happening at your Internet service provider) this quick fix is all you need.
To improve compatibility so the site works for not just computers but mobile devices such as iPhones and iPads, I've added the video lesson two different ways. The first video player below should play on pretty much any laptop or desktop computer. The second is designed for iPhone & iPad, but should work on many computers and other devices too.
If you see the video player box below, watch the video lesson by using the first player. During playback you can click the square button in the lower right corner of the video to make it full screen:
If you don't see a video player above this line, then you should be able to use the second player below to watch the lesson:

The United Nations Board of Auditors (the 'Board') established in 1946 by the General Assembly and comprised of the heads of the Supreme Audit Institutions from three Member States, has for more than 60 years provided independent external audit services to the General Assembly. This has involved certifying the accounts of the UN and its funds and programmes, and providing reports covering a wide array of managerial and value for money issues. The overarching goal of the Board is to use the unique perspective of public external audit to both help the General Assembly to hold UN entities to account for the use of public resources, and add value by identifying ways to improve the delivery of international public services.
The Board fully recognises the vital role played by the UN and its funds and programmes in delivering their complex mandates often in extremely difficult environments. But at the same time fiscal constraints mean many member states are seeking to radically change the way in which public services are delivered to help reduce deficits and stimulate growth. The UN and its funds and programmes face similar challenges over the next three years, needing to operate with less resource, re-examine costs, processes and service delivery models, deploy new skills many of which are in short supply, whilst simultaneously delivering major business transformation projects. This will have a major impact on the ways in which UN entities are managed.
The Board must also work within budget constraints and will be stretched to respond. The Board has increasingly focused its efforts on the major business transformations being undertaken in the UN, including the introduction of International Public Sector Accounting Standards, and new enterprise resource planning systems to name just a few; but this is just the start. Our work must be increasingly relevant to the development of strategic thinking and improved accountability and transparency in the UN system, whilst also offering insights into the way in which services are delivered on the ground. We must also use our core expertise in financial management and cost-effective service delivery to help management realise the opportunities from the new tools and information becoming available to them to drive lasting and beneficial change.
My Board colleagues, Mr. Liu Jiayi, Auditor-General of the People's Republic of China and Mr. Ludovick Utouh, Auditor-General of the United Republic of Tanzania, share my commitment to ensuring the Board achieves its aspirations. We recognise the need to respond objectively, quickly and flexibly to the concerns and changing priorities of the General Assembly and Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions. We are committed to working collaboratively in a fair and transparent manner with governing bodies, audit committees, oversight functions and administrations to deliver our mandate, while continuing to observe the highest professional and ethical standards.
Amyas Morse
Comptroller and Auditor General,
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Chairman of United Nations Board of Auditors

More interesting items have come to light as I sift through boxes and photo albums. Today's find is a "meishi" or name card of Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba. This is an extremely interesting document, and there is a long and involved story to be told in this connection.
First, here is what is written on the meishi:
"Morihei Ueshiba
President, Jinrui Aizenkai Tokyo-to Rengokai"
This is followed by the address of the Tokyo branch of the Aizenkai near Ueno Park, and in addition, the address of Morihei's residence which is the same as that of the old Aikikai Hombu Dojo.
What is this Jinrui Aizenkai? This association was an auxiliary organization established by Onisaburo Deguchi in May 1925. It is usually translated into English as the "Universal Love and Brotherhood Association." The descendant of this association still exists today as a Non-Profit Organization with branches in many countries.
Here is an excerpt from the mission statement issued by Onisaburo Deguchi shortly after the founding of the Aizenkai:
This Association exalts the noble cause of Love of Mankind, and hope to make its best efforts to bring about the friendship and harmony of the whole human race, thus bringing about a world of light eternally full of happiness and joy.
The human race are essentially brothers and sisters, one in body and spirit. To return to this basic principle is the profoundest desire of the divine nature in all people, as well as the loftiest ideal of the human race. However, in recent years, the state of the world has changed suddenly, the way has become dark, and the hearts of the people are hard and corrupt, with truly deplorable and horrifying consequences. If things are left to proceed in this way, it is clear what the future holds for the world.
See "The Great Onisaburo Deguchi," by Kyotaro Deguchi, p. 189.
This lofty statement and the launch of the Aizenkai was followed by a flurry of activity both in Asia, the United States, Brazil, Europe, etc. It engaged in many charitable and educational activities in Asia, especially in Manchuria and Mongolia. The Aizenkai and Onisaburo also were intimately involved with the Kwantung Army in this region and served as a buffer to concerns of Japanese expansion and empire building among the local populace. There are many interesting areas of study in this regard that will provide more of a background to Morihei's evolution both as a martial artist and prominent person active in prewar militaristic Japan.
For those who have come to believe that Morihei's association with the Omoto religion became distant after the devastating consequences of the Second Omoto Incident of December 1935, this simple name card speaks volumes. This meishi was used by Morihei toward the end of his life and he is listed as the "President" of one of the Omoto religion's most active arms.
Historically speaking, the truth is that Morihei continued regular association with the Omoto after the war and, even visited Onisaburo Deguchi in Kameoka shortly before the latter's death in 1948. I personally interviewed Yasuaki Deguchi, a grandson of Onisaburo, in the home where Onisaburo and his wife Sumiko lived at the time. I spent two nights in that house, apparently in the room next to where Onisaburo slept. It was an eerie experience, to be sure!
In any event, for those of you who are interested in such historical memorabilia, please download and add to your collection this high resolution copy of Morihei's personal name card below, and keep in mind all of the history behind it, and the connection to the Omoto religion which played a pivot role in the development of aikido.

Osman, Mohd Nizam and Shahkat Ali, Muhammad Sham (2008) Strategies of using ICT in education : the case of Malaysia. In: 3rd International Conference on ICT for development, Education and Training., 28-30 Mei 2008, Ghana, Africa.. (Unpublished)
Restricted to Repository staff only
The inter-relationship between the system of education and the quality of the workforce in Malaysia has been the subject of numerous discussions and debates in both academic and business circles. These debated obviously indicate the positive link between the system of education and the need to inculcate the use of technology in the system of education. As one of the means of moving towards an economy that is based on knowledge-driven, the government feels it is necessary to expand the extent of ICT-related usage, including computing system and other forms of ICT across the various sectors in the country, including education. One of the means of achieving these objectives is to introduce the use of ICT in education across all schools throughout the country. In relation to this move, a number of initiatives have been introduced and developed, such as the smart school concept, e-learning concept within the higher education context and the use of sophisticated technology driven within the schools. The education curriculum has also been changed to accommodate the use of these technologies within the educational curriculum. Although these moves are seen as central towards enhancing the use of ICT-related technologies in education, however there are a number of questions that will have to be raised here. These include, i) are the students and teaching staff ready to use ICT-related technologies extensively as one of the teaching tools in schools?, ii) are the facilities in schools capable to accommodate education through the use of ICT-related technologies?, and more importantly iii) are the government strategies to invest heavily in using ICT in education is seen strategic in achieving the aspirations of transforming the Malaysian economy from an agricultural-based to knowledge-driven economy? These questions are central to the study and will be addressed in greater depth in the study. As a means of exploring this issue in greater depth, the study incorporates both qualitative and quantitative data to examine respondents' views and perceptions about the use of ICT in education. Apart from this, the study also incorporates secondary data to support the study. These data are largely obtained from printed materials from books, articles, newspapers reports and government reports. As a means of collecting quantitative data for the study, a total 200 survey forms have been distributed to a carefully selected students and teaching staff in private and government schools and institutions of higher education in the State of Selangor, Malaysia. The data obtained from the completed questionnaire surveys will be analyzed using SPSS software to examine respondents' views and perceptions regarding the issue being studied.

The scene has shifted from Harare to Bulawayo, but the travails of Zimbabwe never seem to end. They managed to take more wickets in the second ODI then they had taken in the T20 matches and the first ODI. Despite this, the end result never looked in doubt as New Zealand cantered home. The final ODI gives Zimbabwe one last chance of pulling the rug from under New Zealand's feet. New Zealand: The bowlers and the top-order have meant that the middle order has hardly had much to do. The rustiness was evident as the Kiwis endured a mini-collapse in the second ODI. New Zealand will be mindful of guarding against any sort of complacency, but would wish that the middle order get a decent look-in ahead of a tough summer ahead. The bowling has looked in good nick despite allowing Zimbabwe to recover twice from difficult positions. With the series in the bag, they might opt for some experimentation in the batting order. Zimbabwe: The top-order batting has been the difference between the two teams. While the Kiwi top-order have taken it on themselves to finish games, the top-order of their opponents have been shaky and vulnerable. This has put too much pressure on the fragile middle-order. To their credit, the later order batsmen have put their hands up and have lent good support to Zimbabwe skipper, Brendan Taylor. Taylor has batted in a sublime fashion to score back to back tons, but the top-order meltdown has always meant that Zimbabwe were always been behind the eight ball game. The bowling has been a huge let-down as they have failed to hunt in packs. The bowlers have been guilty of bowling at least one freebie every over which has meant that there has been no pressure on the batsmen. Zimbabwe has prided themselves on their fielding abilities, but this series has been an absolute shocker. Malcolm Waller put down two dollies off Brendon McCullum in the second ODI and the ground fielding has been way below minimum standards. Team News: With the pitch expected to aid spin, New Zealand may give Luke Woodcock a game instead of one of their seamers. Zimbabwe has nothing but pride to play for and they may consider giving Natsai Mushangwe a debut. Quotes: Brendon and I bat well together, we complement each other quite well and he kept me going right through - Martin Guptill likes batting with McCullum.

Ali Mahmoud Rajhi, a spokesman for Somalia's al-Shabab group, has told Al Jazeera that the group is not afraid of United States involvement in the battle against them.He said that the proposed US collusion with Somali government forces makes al-Shabab even more certain they are on the "right" path.
"This decision will not affect al-Shabab movement. Actually, it makes us more certain that we are on the right path; the path that was chosen for us by God."We also become more certain that we have to keep going despite the animosity of the disbelieving nations. The Americans want to scare us. But, we are not afraid," Rajhi said.
"If they come to Somalia, they need to know that those who fought them in 1993 and dragged their bodies in the streets of Mogadishu are still present and ready to drag their dead bodies again," Rajhi said.Mogadishu battleThe US has long been involved in training Somali government troops.
But now it says it might send troops to help a new offensive which aims to push al- Shabab out of the Somali capital Mogadishu.Somalia's government would welcome US air support for an expected offensive aimed at retaking control of areas from the al-Shabab rebels, Sharif Ahmed, the Somali president, said on Tuesday.The New York Times cited an unnamed US official in Washington saying that the offensive could begin in a few weeks. "What you're likely to see is airstrikes and Special Ops moving in, hitting and getting out," the official said.In recent months, US advisers have helped supervise the training of Somali forces to be deployed in the offensive.
US officials said that this was part of a continuing programme to "build the capacity" of the Somali military, and that there has been no increase in military aid for the coming operations, the paper said.US military intervention in Somalia in the early 1990s, when it led a major international relief operation, ended in disaster after UN forces were drawn into fighting with local warlords. During the so-called "Battle of Mogadishu" in October 1993, forces loyal to warlord Mohamed Farah Aidid killed a total of 18 US soldiers on a single day, dragging some of their bodies through the streets of Mogadishu.

Nobody likes pain, and we all try to avoid it when we can.
But paradoxically, a person who wants to find happiness must learn to embrace pain. How can this be? The answer lies in the definition of happiness. In my favorite short definition, psychologist Tal Ben-Shahar describes happiness as "the overall experience of both pleasure and meaning." Pleasure, of course, is the opposite of pain, so, at first glance, the idea that happiness involves pain does not make sense.

Okay, I know this is a REAL long shot, but I'm looking for a full length rail for the Hi-Point 995 Carbine WITH the ATI stock on it. The part I'm looking for was made by a guy named "Bushman". He has a website and tooled up to make and sell these.
He just had his first child so he's taking a temporary break from his home business. So if you have one of these and don't use it, I'd really like to buy it. He also makes other points for this carbine like an aluminum trigger and a handle for the bolt. I'd be interested in any of those or any extra standard mfg magazines.
Thanks folks

Deforestation and climate change5 November 2009
It takes a long time and the roads are treacherous. But few journeys to work are as beautiful as Javier Baltodano's.
As coordinator for Friends of the Earth Costa Rica he often travels through rainforest into the mountainous interior of the country.
Community effort
Javier works with five remaining forest communities trying to protect their traditional way of life.
Costa Rica is the world's largest producer of pineapples. But the plantations they are grown on threaten the existence of local communities.
Prickly issues
Pineapples aren't the only problem. The UK Government is taking a dangerous gamble with the world's forests.
The Reducing Deforestation in Developing Countries (REDD) initiative would allow industrialised countries to offset their emissions by buying up chunks of forests.
They would do this by paying developing countries such as Costa Rica to carry out so-called clean development projects.
False solution
Deforestation is responsible for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. British politicians believe REDD will stop this in its tracks and prevent more carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere.
They couldn't be more wrong. Allowing industry to buy forest credits will do nothing to reduce the UK's emissions from:
- Cars
- Planes
- Homes
- Businesses.
[REDD] will do nothing to tackle climate change or protect indigenous people.
Potential disaster
People on the ground are ferocious in their opposition to the idea.
In Costa Rica the REDD scheme would enable pineapple plantations to encroach on more of the country's rainforest.
Written into the small print of REDD is a clause allowing monoculture plantations to be counted as the same as pristine rainforest.
Keep forest standing
But plantations store fives times less carbon than rainforest. And cutting down forests releases carbon dioxide and destroys the lives and livelihoods of local people.
Friends of the Earth Costa Rica is campaigning for indigenous peoples to have the right to govern their own communities within the forest.
Working together
A fifth of the world's population relies on forests in some way. They are a source of:
- Food
- Traditional medicine
- Shelter.
Working to conserve forests means this can continue. In some parts of Costa Rica indigenous people already play a big part in conservation.
They help to control illegal logging and hunting and protect national parks. Other communities use forests to make handicrafts such as hats and bags to sell.
Sustainable forests
Another important use for forests in Costa Rica is sustainable timber production - an approach that benefits everyone.
It means indigenous people have a livelihood without fear of their land being turned over to plantations. And since they depend on the rainforest they ensure it remains intact.
Press for change
Friends of the Earth is working to expose REDD ahead of the Copenhagen climate talks in December.
Add your name to our international petition demanding world leaders change their thinking on climate.

AIG to Sell 90% of Plane Leasing Unit
NEW YORK -- American International Group Inc. (AIG) says it will sell up to 90% of its airplane leasing unit International Lease Finance Corp. to an investor group led by Weng Xianding, chairman of New China Trust Co. Ltd., for approximately $5.28 billion.
The investor group, which includes New China Trust, China Aviation Industrial Fund and P3 Investments Ltd., will acquire 80.1% of ILFC for approximately $4.23 billion, with an option for an additional 9.9% stake. AIG will keep at least 10% of the company.
ILFC will remain based in Los Angeles. The agreement needs approval from U.S. and Chinese regulatory authorities.
New York-based AIG has been selling off subsidiaries to raise money to pay back its $182 billion bailout from the government during the economic meltdown.

Come and Go Sonata Premiere

No summary yet
Come and Go Sonata Premiere (Size: 21.47 MB)
The first line trades off of Macbeth: "When did we three meet last?" But her companion will have none of that: "Let us not speak."
Three women occupy a park bench. One by one they leave, strolling into the opaque darkness at the edge of the stage, and come back. As each vanishes, her two friends share a secret. At the end they join hands "in the old way," and the sudden, smooth unity between the three shadowy characters can make your neck-hairs stand straight up.
The essence of Beckettian minimalism, this extraordinarily rich "dramaticule" consists of about a hundred and thirty words, surrounded by long, opulent silences. It's an almost blank slate and it's magnificent. Peter Brook classified Beckett's work as "Holy Theater" -- that which strives to make the invisible visible -- and of all the showy adaptations in the Beckett on Film series, this simply staged eight-minute ceremony best supports Brook's notion. To be watched and rewatched.

While Isabel caused destruction in many areas, it brought a gift to Primo D'Agata of Berlin, Connecticut. "I thought it was hail and I said to my wife, 'Ginger, it's hailing,'" he says. "I went back to reading my paper and then I saw the things were still there and were not melting. I went out and saw hundred of these white things." They turned out to be eggs.
Robin Vinci writes in the New Britain Herald that the eggs are tiny?about the size of pearls. "They are white with what looks like eyes in the middle. They looked like salamanders or barley," D'Agata says. "Ginger picked one up and it was slimy."
He called local Animal Control officer Jan Lund, who came and gathered up some of the eggs. "We were told whatever the eggs were, they were not from Connecticut because nothing like that is hatching this time of year," D'Agata says. "They said it was brought in from Hurricane Isabel. He said they could be alligator eggs."
He decided to take some of them to Central Connecticut State University. "They didn't know what they were either," he says. "I joked that they could be aliens. They came from the sky with the rain and not the wind."
Biologist Ruth Rollin of CCSU says, "At this point we are still trying to determine what species it is. We have a couple of graduate students who have more experience researching it, but they still don't have a specific identification. It's unusual for eggs to be out of water. It does initially look like the egg of an amphibian such as a frog but we need to continue researching to see if that is correct."
When the weather cleared up, the eggs seemed to disintegrate and disappear. "I never saw anything like it in my whole life," D?Agata says. "It?s amazing. People on either side of my home do not have these eggs."
He saved some of them in a jar to see if they hatch. "They are probably dead, but I just want to see what happens," he says. "I want to know what they are."
Will global warming make hurricanes stronger, or weaker, in the future? Learn all about it from the guys who had the courage to write about it first!

The Bacchus B-1 horizontal development well, third well in Bacchus field in the UK North Sea, has pushed field production past 17,600 b/d of oil, more than double the year-ago rate (OGJ Online, Aug. 2, 2012), said operator Apache Corp.
Bacchus B-1 went on production in July and is making 9,400 b/d. Apache logged 2,057 ft of net oil pay along a horizontal completion segment in high-quality Jurassic-aged Fulmar sandstones in the fields western fault-block. Oil from the Bacchus is produced through a subsea tieback to Apaches Forties Alpha platform.
Following the recent success at Bacchus, Apache has extended its current Forties 3D seismic survey area to cover other Jurassic development and exploration targets on Apache licenses in the Bacchus area. The seismic survey is expected to be completed in September.
Apache has brought three new fields, Bacchus, Maule, and Tonto, on production in the Forties area since 2009. All three developments qualified under the UK government small field allowance system, which provides economic incentives for operators to bring these discovery into production.
James L. House, region vice-president and managing director of Apache North Sea, said, Utilizing existing infrastructure within the Forties field area enables Apache to bring these smaller discovery on production in a cost-effective manner for the benefit of all stakeholders. A little more than a year after first production, Bacchus has produced 3 million bbl of oil and has already paid out.
Apache is operator of Bacchus with a 50% interest. Partners are Endeavor Energy UK Ltd. 30% and First Oil Expro Ltd. 20%.

Pharma Nord Bio-Multi Vitamin and Mineral
Bio-Multivitamin & Mineral is a composite nutritional supplement containing a range of antioxidant vitamins and minerals, together with other relevant micronutrients. These include as primary antioxidants: vitamin A (as retinal), Chromium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, and selenium; as secondary antioxidants: vitamins B1, B3, B5, zinc, manganese, and copper; as supplementary nutrients: vitamin B2, vitamin B12, folacin, biotin, vitamin D3, and magnesium.
Bio-Multivitamin & Mineral does not contain iron, which may exacerbate the effects of oxidative stress (see below) under certain circumstances. Because antioxidants act within the body in a synergistic (mutually supportive) manner, multiple supplements are more effective than large amounts of single antioxidants, hence the rationale for Bio-Multivitamin & Mineral.
Antioxidant levels may be depleted in individuals consuming a diet with a high content of convenience foods, or individuals undergoing vigorous physical exercise.
How it works:
Free radicals are toxic chemicals produced within the body as unwanted by-products of normal metabolism. Additional free radicals may be generated following exposure of the body to toxic chemicals (e.g. pesticides, vehicle emissions), ultra-violet light, smoking and drinking alcohol. The body is protected against free radical attack by substances called antioxidants.
Some antioxidants are manufactured within the body, and others must be obtained from the diet. Some types of antioxidant (e.g. vitamin E) are fat soluble, and preferentially protect lipid components of cells (cell membranes) from damage, whilst water-soluble antioxidant types (e.g. vitamin C) protect the main body (cytoplasm) of the cell.
An imbalance between free radical generating and protective systems is known as oxidative stress. Avoidance of oxidative stress helps to maintain healthy cardiovascular, nervous, digestive and immune systems.
How to use:
Pharma-Nord recommends 1-2 tablets of Bio-Multivitamin & Mineral per day, to be taken with meals. The % Recommended Daily Allowance (%EC RDA) for each constituent per tablet is given in the final paragraph (About Pharma-Nord Bio-Multivitamin & Mineral) of this web page.
