CAIRO - As their candidate was voted to the helm of power of the Arab world's most populous state, the Muslim Brotherhood has reached agreements with the ruling military on the president's powers and a dissolved Islamist-led parliament.
"We are working on reaching a compromise on various items so all parties are able to work together in the future," Esssam Haddad, a senior Muslim Brotherhood member and aide to President Mohamed Morsi, told Reuters on Tuesday, June 26.
Morsi held talks Monday with the ruling military council, which took over from ousted president Hosni Mubarak.

Challenges Ahead of Egypt's President MorsiIsrael Fears Islamic Winter After Egypt Vote
Haddad said the talks had covered possible amendments to a constitutional decree issued by the military council that limited the president's powers.
"We do not accept having a president without powers, Haddad said.
The solution being worked out now is scaling back those restrictions so that President Morsi can deliver to the people what he promised.
The Brotherhood, banned under Mubarak, sent its supporters onto the streets last week to protest the decree limiting the president's powers and a court ruling dissolving the Islamist-led parliament.
Islamists and others said the two moves amounted to a military coup.
The Brotherhood and the army held discreet talks ahead of the announcement of the presidential vote results, officials on both sides said.
Morsi was declared winner of Egypt's first democratic election on Sunday after defeating former premier Ahmed Shafiq.
He has pledged to form an inclusive government to be representative of all Egyptians.
Sameh Essawi, an aide to Morsi, said the new president will name six vice-presidents - a woman, a Christian and others drawn from non-Brotherhood political groups -to act as an advisory panel.
Morsi has resigned as head of the Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party to be a "president for all Egyptians" but critics question his independence from the movement's opaque leadership.
The new president will be sworn in on Saturday, probably before the Constitutional Court. The Brotherhood will also stage a symbolic swearing-in ceremony in Tahrir Square.
Presidents were previously sworn in by parliament, which is now shuttered and under military guard.
Brotherhood officials say that the talks also focus on loosening the military grip on an assembly that would write Egypt's new constitution.
"The negotiations involve loosening the grip of the generals on the constitutional assembly so that it can draft the new constitution without interference," Haddad said.
He said the military would keep control of its budget and internal affairs but the generals would have to keep their hands off the constitution-drafting assembly.
Under the new decree, the army gave itself the right to veto articles of the constitution that the assembly will draft, angering the Brotherhood, which itself wants a big say.
A senior Brotherhood aide said the generals had agreed to lift their veto power over articles drafted by the 100-member assembly, provided that about 10 of its Islamist members were replaced with technocrats favored by the military.
The aide added that Morsi's team and the generals had also agreed on how ministries should be divided in the cabinet.
"The ministries of finance and foreign affairs would go to the Brotherhood provided they steer clear of the defence, interior and justice ministries," the aide said on condition of anonymity.
Morsi met police commanders on Tuesday at the police academy where Mubarak's trial was held. The police come under the Interior Ministry, run by ex-police chiefs in Mubarak's day.
The Brotherhood has pledged to reform a ministry seen as a tool of political coercion and responsible for many past abuses.
Brotherhood officials also said that an agreement was reached on the dissolution of Islamist-led lower house of parliament.
They said the army had agreed in talks that the election would be re-run only for the individual seats, and that a legal route would be found to get around the court's ruling that the whole house must be dissolved.
The Brotherhood, Egypt's oldest and most organized Islamist group, often met army generals after Mubarak's fall on February 11, 2011, in an apparent effort to manage the transition equably.
But ties between the two entities became strained. The Islamists were frustrated at parliament's lack of sway over government policy, while the army grew uneasy about the Brotherhood's drive for power.
The Brotherhood and other opponents of military rule were also angered by a Justice Ministry order this month giving the army powers to arrest civilians, effectively reinstating the much-hated state of emergency that had lapsed on May 31.
Mubarak had used emergency law throughout his 30 years in power to repress Islamists and other dissenters.One Brotherhood official said the army had agreed to lift the new measure once the police force, which collapsed during last year's uprising, returned to the streets.

A federal judge has denied a motorized group's lawsuit challenging the Gallatin National Forest's implementation of more restrictive snowmobiling rules in a wilderness study area.
Federal Judge Sam Haddon ruled Monday that the Forest Service did not violate the Montana Wilderness Study Act of 1977 when it enhanced the wilderness characteristics of the Hyalite-Porcupine-Buffalo Horn wilderness study area south of Bozeman.
Haddon cited a previous case that went to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in his decision, saying the court squarely addressed and resolved the issue with its 2011 ruling.
Citizens for Balanced Use had argued that the Forest Service could only maintain the character of the WSA, not enhance it.
The travel plan that the Gallatin National Forest drew up in 2006 for the wilderness study area has been controversial. Wilderness groups initially sued over allowing too much motorized and mountain bike use. They won their suit, the Gallatin restricted motorized and mountain bike use, and then Citizens for Balanced Use sued, claiming they had been unfairly treated.
"We need a durable process now that can put these court cases behind us and get the Gallatin Range the permanent solution it deserves," said Al Parker, a Bozeman Montana Wilderness Association member.
"The Gallatin Forest is pleased with Judge Haddon's ruling," wrote Marna Daley, public affairs officer for the Gallatin in an email. "We still believe the best approach to determining the long-term management of the Hyalite Porcupine Buffalo Horn Wilderness Study Area is to first bring the community together in a collaborative process to recommend a management scenario for the area."
Daley added that any recommendation would still need to be analyzed formally or determined through congressional action.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Shadow!
Facts about Shadow
- Breed: Pug
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Shadow's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, and up to date with shots.
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men….the Shadow does. Our Shadow was left in a night drop pen at a county shelter on a lonely road. He was frightened, in bad shape and almost skeletal. He has probably seen a lot of evil in his 6 years….lived outside (he's right at home outside in the rain….unlike most Pugs who need their own umbrella), took more time than most to adjust to dog food so he was probably fed table scraps….had a severe yeast infection in addition to eyes that were matted. His vision is very limited but he's found his way around his foster home. His first experience in the foster home was several weeks of kennel cough and when that was past he had surgery to remove his 'manhood'. During his confinement with the kennel cough and recovery from his surgery he was kept isolated in the den…now that is HIS room and he isn't eager to mingle with the other foster Pugs. He can be an only dog.
Thanks to PROoF Shadow is UTD on his shots and we know he is heartworm negative. He has his own entrance and goes to the door when he wants to go outside. He is not 100% housebroken but he has the right idea and if someone opens the door….he learns quickly. He loves to lie on his foster mom's lap and helps her read or watch the Dog Whisperer. Once Shadow felt safe and secure he bonded quickly with his foster family, although he can still be wary of quick moves and rolls on his back or side…to stay out of harms way. Shadow is 17 lbs now and gaining but we doubt he'll ever be a rolly-polly Pug… but he does have the companion instincts that seem to come with the sweet flat face and curly tail. He is fawn but with a dark cast to his coat…some say he is particularly handsome because of his unique color (it might be his foster mom who said that!) Shadow wants a forever home and a family (or individual) who will love him and think he is the special Pug boy that he is. His adoption fee is $225 and he lives in Jacksonville.
Other Pets at Pug Rescue of Florida, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Shadow, a Windermere Pug dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pug for sale in Windermere, or seeking a Pug dog from a breeder in Windermere.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Windermere already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Windermere breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pug breeders who help with Pug rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Windermere paves the way for another one to be saved.

Massachusetts crime lab crisis is echoed across the U.S.
Posted: July 18, 2007 1:17 pm
A report released this week said Massachusetts has one of the worst crime lab crises in the country, with evidence in more than 16,000 cases remaining untested and lab scandals leading to resignations and firings in recent months. But the state is not alone in facing major hurdles in forensic testing — backlogs and misconduct nationwide have slowed criminal justice investigations and contributed to wrongful convictions.
The Massachusetts report points to untested evidence in cases as far back as the 1980s, in which the statute of limitations for prosecuting crimes may have expired. Officials vowed that change was on the way, as analysts will focus first on evidence in unsolved cases and money will potentially be budgeted to outsource some testing.
A Boston Herald editorial yesterday calls the lab situation "an absolute travesty."
The report skewers the lab's handling of this potentially damning (or exculpatory) material. And while the state plans to process the evidence in cases that might still be prosecuted, you can't unwind the clock. Expiring statutes of limitations mean justice, in many cases, will never be served.More coverage in Massachusetts:
Read the full editorial here. (Boston Herald, 7/17/07)
State officials will review old crimes (Boston Globe, 7/17/07)
Lab backlogs and misconduct continue to plague dozens of states:
Reports this week detailed cases in Maryland and Florida in which crucial evidence in rape trials has gone missing. When labs are overworked and underfunded, human error such as the inadvertent destruction of evidence can become more prevalent.
A Washington Post article on Sunday considered how the popularity of shows like "CSI" have led to increased jury demands for scientific evidence and may have contributed to lab backlogs nationwide.
Lab backlogs in Alabama have impeded justice in cases at trial and officials say they are making a "concerted effort" to remedy the problems.
Labs in Tennessee, Kentucky, Arizona and Wisconsin are all backlogged, according to recent news reports.

Editorial: Alabama's DNA laws fall short
Posted: July 30, 2007 1:09 pm
Alabama is one of eight states in the country that lacks a state law allowing inmates to seek post-conviction DNA testing to prove innocence. Last week, the state executed Darrell Grayson despite his repeated attempts to seek DNA testing that could have proved his innocence or confirmed his guilt.
An editorial in yesterday's Birmingham News called for Alabama to join the 42 states that offer post-conviction DNA testing.
Gov. Bob Riley could have, and should have, delayed Grayson's execution long enough to allow for a test. He did not.And an editorial in yesterday's Baltimore Sun said that the nation's 205 DNA exonerations have revealed serious fissures across the American criminal justice system. The editorial calls for reforms nationwide – on eyewitness identifications, snitch testimony, videotaping interrogations, indigent defense and more. Read the full editorial here.
If there's good to come from this, it's that the case is a reminder of how Alabama's law has not kept up with the times when it comes to scientific advances in criminal investigations.

Friday roundup
Posted: September 5, 2008 3:07 pm
New projects and investigations launched this week by innocence organizations, law schools, prosecutors and attorneys general across the country show the momentum nationwide to overturn wrongful convictions and address the root causes of wrongful conviction to prevent future injustice. Here's this week's roundup:
Questions were raised about standards of DNA collection and preservation in Massachusetts after improper procedures were revealed in a high-profile case. Mass. is one of 25 states without a DNA preservation law.
The Mississippi Attorney General said this week that the state is underfunding DNA tests and DNA collection and a new task force is examining the state problem.
San Jose opened California's largest crime lab, training began in Maryland before a new law expanding the state's database took effect and cutbacks in Georgia led to furloughs for prosecutors and could cause lab closings.
The Midwest Innocence Project this week launched an investigation into a 1988 fire that killed six Kansas City firemen and led to the conviction of five people who say they're innocent. The North Carolina Innocence Inquiry Commission, a first-of-its-kind panel dedicated to investigating cases of possible wrongful conviction, finished reviewing its first case, deciding that there wasn't enough evidence to overturn the conviction of Henry A. Reeves. And Dallas District Attorney Craig Watkins asked county officials to allow filming in his offices in coming months for a Discovery Channel documentary.
Some of the best policy analysis and research to help improve our criminal justice system comes, of course, from our nation's law schools – and now many of those schools have blogs. Marquette University Law School launched a new faculty law blog, and a post by Keith Sharfman finds that "blogging's potential as a medium for serious legal discourse can no longer be doubted."
A column on Law.com asks: "Is the future of legal scholarship in the blogosphere?"
Here at the Innocence Project, we read law school blogs everyday. Among our favorites are Crim Prof Blog and Evidence Prof Blog
New York University Law School has formed a new Center on the Administration of Criminal Law, which will seek to promote "good government practices in criminal matters."

University of Baltimore takes on Maryland Innocence Project
Posted: September 5, 2008 3:14 pm
The Baltimore Sun reported yesterday that the University of Baltimore will be taking over the Innocence Project unit of the Maryland Office of the Public Defender, after the heads of the unit approached the university's law school.
Under the auspices of the university, six law students have been assigned to work on three potential wrongful conviction cases, while 20 more will review innocence claims to see if they can take them on. Since helping Bernard Webster get exonerated by DNA testing in 2002, the Public Defender's Office has received over 700 requests for help. They have successfully filed 15 motions for DNA testing, with one more pending.
The new project will be directed by the head of the original unit, Michele Nethercott, and Steven Harris, who was a state public defender for 14 years. They will announce the new project at a press-conference today along with Barry Scheck, Co-Director of the Innocence Project.
Law School Dean Phillip J. Closius said he "didn't hesitate" when the public defender's office approached him with the idea for the transfer.Read the full story.
"It's a great idea for us," he said. "It benefits students because they get to work on criminal cases with DNA evidence, and it benefits society because we can help free the unjustly incarcerated."

Charges dropped in 1987 Baltimore murder case
Posted: October 16, 2008 1:29 pm
Charges were dropped yesterday against a Baltimore man who spent 21 years in prison for a murder he has always said he didn't commit. A Maryland judge granted James Owens, Jr., a new trial last year after DNA tests showed that biological material from the crime scene came from an unknown man – and not Owens or his co-defendant, James A. Thompson. Owens was freed around 5 p.m.
Owens is represented by Stephen B. Mercer. Thompson, who is represented by Suzanne Drouet at the Maryland Office of the Public Defender's Innocence Project, is still facing a possible retrial.
"You can't give me that time back," Owens told reporters outside the prison. "You can't give me that back. That's all I got to say."

Still Waiting in Maryland
Posted: January 13, 2009 2:21 pm
Attorneys for a Maryland man argued before the state's highest court recently that their client deserves a new trial based on DNA evidence of his innocence in a 1987 murder. James Thompson, 49, has been in Maryland prison for two decades for a murder he says he didn't commit. Prosecutors at his trial said he confessed that he and his co-defendant, James Owens, committed the crime. Thompson, however, says the confession was coerced.
Owens was released in October after DNA test results showed that semen on the victim's body came from another man – excluding Owens or Thompson.
"Thompson's the case of the phantom accomplice," his attorney, George Burns, argued in front of the Maryland Court of Appeals. "The state decides, well, Mr. Owens is not the accomplice. There's some other accomplice with Mr. Thompson."Read about Owens' release here.
… Suzanne Drouet, an attorney with Maryland's Innocence Project, said Thompson gave a "false confession" after "trickery" from police and prosecutors.

Maryland Governor's Office Slows Possible Exoneration
Posted: April 13, 2010 4:30 pm
Given the Maryland governor's reluctance to commute a sentence or grant clemency to anyone — as well as his embrace of the no-parole-for-lifers and "life means life" philosophy — it's hard to imagine Martin O'Malley ever acting on Mr. Grant's case, never mind in an election year.
But, of course, had there been some DNA, this all might have been over by now, and Mark Grant would be out on the street looking for a job.
Now that we are in the age of DNA testing, claims of wrongful convictions without it appear to be at a striking disadvantage, especially if calculating, what's-in-it-for-me politicians are asked to make a judgment call. The availability of DNA testing and resulting exonerations have "made it harder for prisoners seeking to prove their innocence in the much larger number of cases that do not involve DNA evidence," The New York Times reported last year. "Many lawyers have grown more reluctant to take on these kinds of cases because they are much harder and more expensive to pursue."
Maryland received a Bloodsworth Award—named for Kirk Bloodsworth, the first person exonerated by DNA testing in the U.S. who had spent time on death row—from the National Institute of Justice last year to be used for post-conviction DNA testing. But Grant's case does not include DNA evidence. The clinic at the University of Maryland School of Law says that it proved his innocence by reviewing affidavits of witnesses who said they lied at trial and the discovery of a failed lie detector test by the key prosecution witness.
However, earlier this year, Governor Martin O'Malley's chief legal counsel mentioned the Bloodsworth award in a letter to Grant's aunt saying that the request for clemency will be reviewed seriously. It's already been two years.

Eyewitness Identification: Could You Identify a Suspect?
Posted: May 5, 2010 5:00 pm
The students' memories were varied. Some remembered the perpetrator being white, but none accurately assessed his height, weight or attire. Others focused more on the victim, who was described as white, black, blonde, and dark-haired among many inconsistent details.
Anderson, now a lieutenant with the Hanover, Virginia, volunteer fire department, was wrongfully convicted of rape based in large part on the victim's misidentification. He says he is proof that eyewitness identification isn't enough to convict someone. Despite his alibi and several inconsistencies in the case, Anderson was convicted in 1982. He was exonerated with DNA evidence 20 years later. In addition to working for the fire department, Anderson now runs his own trucking company.
Professor Mauriello conducted a similar experiment in his classes 15 years ago. The suspect was a white male and was stealing from a black female. But, many students reported that they saw a black suspect robbing a white victim.
Both demonstrations and Anderson's wrongful conviction are proof that even when a crime happens right in front of people, they might not be able to recall the events accurately.

We rarely adopt out of state, and we expand our reach to NY, NJ, MA, RI only for our harder to place pups. PUPPIES will NOT be adopted out of CT.About Our Rescue Group:
Thank Dog Rescue is a charitable organization dedicated to finding loving homes for shelter, homeless and abandoned dogs of all breeds, for the love of dog.Through a network of foster homes, our dogs are nurtured and loved and given a sense of normalcy in preparation for their permanent homes. They sleep in soft beds, have plenty to eat, feel the comfort of human touch and grass between their paws, play in the yard, nuzzle a foster furbling, but most importantly, gain confidence and cast aside any fears and worries from experiences past.
We also serve as a resource to the community by advocating responsible dog ownership and all that it entails, from proper socialization and training, to the benefits of routine and preventive medical care, especially spaying and neutering to prevent further overpopulation. We provide education and information on available lower cost veterinary options, work with owners on the verge of surrendering their dogs to shelters to figure out a retention plan to avoid unnecessary burdens on municipalities and lessen the pain and suffering of dogs.
We strive to build a community where dogs are valued and treated with the respect and quality of life they deserve. We are the voice of the voiceless.
Please join us in our passionate endeavor.

Please check out our Events page here:http://thankdogrescue.org/events/
Our Adoption Process:
Our goal is to find the best fit for all because adopting a dog is a life long commitment. To this end, we carefully screen all applicants, conduct home visits and meet & greets to ensure that all members of the family get along harmoniously.All dogs are micro chipped, spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccines prior to placement.
Here's the lowdown:
1. Start by completing our online adoption application found here: http://thankdogrescue.org/adopt/
2. Once the adoption application is approved, a volunteer will call or email to schedule a meet and greet and home visit. All members of the household should be present for both.
3. If approved to adopt, pay the adoption fee prior to placement and agree to sign the adoption contract, available on our website via the Adopt link.
Adoption Fees: $200 adult dogs / $250 puppies
These fees help to recover some of the costs of vetting, food and supplies, and go right back into the pool to save additional dogs in need.
A few things to keep in mind prior to completing this application:
*We prefer applicants who are at least 21 years or older and will take special precautions in approving those in the range of 21 - 25 years. This is a period of time where many are in a state of flux. We only wish our dogs stable, permanent homes, so please understand our hesitation and respect our decision because it is all for the good of the dogs.
*Landlord and/or condo association consent (if applicable)
*Be prepared to show identification showing current address
*Be committed to having the dog for the duration of its life (10 - 15 years)
*Believe in and practice positive reinforcement training and non-aversive training methods (shock, choke, and prong collars and/or invisible/electric fences are NOT WELCOME here)

Clinton is visiting Myanmar, following Obama's announcement saying
flickers of progress. The announcement comes at ASEAN meeting, during
which U.S is eying for concrete steps toward the engagement plan. It
also comes after Myanmar allowed for chairing 2014 ASEAN. As such, it
carried out important gesture in shaping perceptions among the region,
and moving toward an engaging in ASEAN as regional bloc (prior to it,
U.S plan to engaging multilateral mechanism was always hampered by the
hurdle in countries like Myanmar, despite ASEAN's repeatedly calling for
removing sanctions).
Obama announced shifting policy toward Myanmar as early as Feb. 2009, as
part of its broader Asia policy. But the move was largely failed at the
beginning despites a number of visits. While Myanmar is eager in having
western countries lifting the sanction and benefits from open the door
for western engaging, it is in its domestic interest to consolidate
power prior the election, shifting (ostensibly) from a junta government
to a civilian politician - controlled government. After the new
government swore in this Mar., a series of movements took place, and at
faster paces, including easing media control, having SK in political
position, releasing political prisoners (one of the top demand by
western countries accusing of democratic process), etc, and gauge
western positions over the rapprochement. Intensive high-level contacts
have also taken place between Naypyidaw and U.S officials, and the
response by U.S appeared to suggest an imminent policy adjustment from
Washington. Following a visit to Naypyidaw, the newly appointed American
special envoy Derek Mitchell said there is "wind of change", and
Campbell also said Washington might soon take steps to improve its
relations with Myanmar in light of "dramatic developments under way" in
the new government.It is in both interest for reengaging, only a matter
of time.
These, combining with the latest rapprochement, appeared to pave the way
for further engagement, and perhaps eventual lift of sanction in the not
distant time. But from Chinese perspective, those are not welcoming
gesture and Beijing fears it would direct Beijing greater diplomatic
efforts and cost to maintain its interests in the country which holds
strategic importance (combining with dam issue) did the dam issue come
up later after junta began releasing prisoners? I wasn't tracking the
issue in early 2011 but i feel like Chinese support began to decline or
some shit went down between them and that's why burma had to seek other
Why we care about Chinese response than other countries:
- China's perception of strategic importance of Myanmar
- In order to demonstrate greater openness and win heart to
western countries over their reengagement plan, a distance from Beijing
is perhaps a necessary step. And meanwhile, given Beijing's complicated
presence in the country, politically and economically, and controversial
natural of its investment, targeting China could be a more expedient
approach. And in fact, the decision to halt dam construction - which
combined element from ethnic, curbing Chinese resource extradition,
environmental concern appealed by domestic and western NGOs, have been
well received by western countries;
- While dam issue is nothing about a more anti-Beijing stance,
Beijing is concerned about, and increasingly realized the decision and
move by Naypyidaw that caught Beijing off guard, which may undermine
China's interest in the country. This was very well learned from Kogang
incidence 2009, when Tatmadaw attacked Kogang region, that Beijing used
to maintain its leverage in balancing the two was suddenly reduced and
resulted in border instability. Beijing may concern that the future move
by Naypyidaw, particularly with western partners would represents a
greater uncertainty and competition.
Sean's thoughts:
Feb 4- Thein Sein comes in. Campbell says US sanctions will continue
until "more concrete steps", thought he had brought up the idea in
January at the ASEAN meeting.
Our assessment in February was:
But these are small steps, intended mainly to pacify the United States
and strengthen the junta's position. Doing enough to end the sanctions
will not be easy. One U.S. condition, for example, is that the
government release all political prisoners. Though Washington might be
willing to waive enforcement of this condition, Naypyidaw has given no
indication it would be willing to take this step. Meanwhile, the country
is holding its first parliamentary session in 20 years, during which a
vice president will be selected. It is almost certain that any new
government will be composed largely of former military officers and
remain tightly controlled by the junta.
Whatever the reality is in Naypyidaw, Campbell's call for more progress
by the junta before sanctions can be lifted seems to be an unshakeable
one. This has given greater leverage to democratic icon Suu Kyi, who has
indicated that she and her National League for Democracy party are
willing to try and bridge the gap between Washington and Naypyidaw and
work with the United States and ASEAN to ease the sanctions - a shift
from her previous stance of supporting them. What her exact role might
be in this process is unclear, and no one can predict the junta's
But we have seen some actual steps toward democracy. The idea is that
Myanmar can create a slightly more open system, but the military will
still have the influence it needs. The S4 assessment is that Than Shwe
holds the reigns. My argument is that this is changing gradually, but
when he dies, we will see something moving towards Thailand where the
military can maintain influence but does not have to get involved so
We've followed the meetings between Thein Sein and China
but China is also pissed off about:
I think the Hillary meeting would be a step to try and intercede
slightly in Myanmar. China has the most influence, but Myanmar plays
India off of them, and has been resistant so some approaches-including
the dam. The US gives a third power for Myanmar to bargain with, and of
course they also see a potential sanctions opening, which would be an
economic boom for the country. The question with this is if releasing
prisoners (as Myanmar has now done ona piecemeal basis) and reinstating
Suu Kyi's NLD will actually give her more power than the junta expects.

backlash of engaging one of the most hated regimes. But now hillary

Subject: G3 - MYANMAR/US - Clinton Set to Visit Myanmar as Obama
Cites Progress
Clinton Set to Visit Myanmar as Obama Cites Progress
Published: November 17, 2011
BANGKOK - Citing "flickers of progress" in Myanmar's political
climate, President Obama announced Friday that he was sending
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on a visit next month, the
first by a secretary of state in more than 50 years.
The decision was announced [during ASEAN -W] in Bali, Indonesia, where
nations from Southeast Asia were meeting on Friday with leaders from
across the Pacific Rim, including the United States, China and Japan.
"For decades Americans have been deeply concerned about the denial of
basic human rights for the Burmese people," Mr. Obama said. "The
persecution of democratic reformers, the brutality shown toward ethnic
minorities and the concentration of power in the hands of a few
military leaders has challenged our conscience and isolated Burma from
the United States and much of the world."
But he added that "after years of darkness, we've seen flickers of
progress in these last several weeks" as the president and Parliament
in Myanmar have taken steps toward reform.
"Of course there's far more to be done," Mr. Obama said.
The decision to send Mrs. Clinton came as Myanmar took another step
away from its diplomatic isolation on Thursday when its neighbors
agreed to let the country, which had been run for decades by the
military, take on the chairmanship of the Association of Southeast
Asian Nations in 2014.
Myanmar has long coveted the rotating chairmanship of the
organization, known as Asean. The country renounced its turn in 2006
in the face of foreign pressure over human rights abuses.
"It's not about the past, it's about the future, what leaders are
doing now," the Indonesian foreign minister, Marty Natalegawa, told
reporters in Bali about the chairmanship. "We're trying to ensure the
process of change continues."
Myanmar inaugurated a new civilian system this year after decades of
military rule. The new government, led by a former general, Thein
Sein, has freed a number of political prisoners, taken steps to
liberalize the nation's heavily state-controlled economy and made
overtures to Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the 1991 Nobel laureate who was
released from house arrest last year.
In a telephone conversation flying from Australia to Indonesia, Mr.
Obama sought assurances from Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi before approving
the visit and she "confirmed that she supports American engagement to
move this process forward," Mr. Obama said.
Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi's political party won elections in 1990, but the
result was ignored by the military. Her party, the National League for
Democracy, has said it will decide on Friday whether to rejoin the
political system after having been de-listed as a party by the junta.

Sunday Breakfast at Yut Kee Restaurant, Jalan Dang Wangi, Kuala Lumpur
It has been a while since we had a good Sunday breakfast. The last good one we had was in Seri Kembangan for dim sum. That was weeks ago. Yesterday morning, we decided to venture to a place that we haven't visited before.
The ever popular Yut Kee. Located at Jalan Dang Wangi, Yut Kee has been around for years. Established at 1928, the place now is a whopping 82 years old and they are still going strong. The place itself is a pre-war building.
The interior is still the same as before. The characteristics of the place is still unchanged. Only now they have a LCD tv on the wall.
I like the way they preserved the place. For example, this antique safe. Godness, this was the first time I see something like this. Purely, antique!
Rachel ordered the "cham". "Cham" is also known as "ying yong" a mixture of coffee and tea. The hot cham is value at RM1.30 (US 40c). Rachel loved the fragrance of the coffee in this.
There was nothing better than a good Pork chop for breakfast. Priced at RM 9 (US 2.20), the pork chop was tender. Coated with egg, the pork chop was deep fried and covered with the gravy. With fried potatoes, beans and carrots, the pork chop was pretty "alright".
"Roti babi" or pork bread was priced at RM 7.50 (US 2). French toasted with fillings of a mixture of pork, onions and hints of crab meat. Rachel felt this was overpriced and there's nothing to shout about. She felt it was too heavy for breakfast.
Supposingly they only sell their famous roast pork from 11.30 am but we got lucky yesterday. They took it out early to sell. Gosh look at the roast pork!
When they cut the roast pork, everyone wants it. Look at the colour of the meat. It was cooked perfectly.
The roast pork was served with the apple jam. Priced at RM 12 (US 3.30), a plate of serving came with only 2 pieces of the meat. Well, it was all worth it. The skin was magnificently crispy while the meat was tender. Similar to "siew yuk", this was addictive!
Rachel loved this. It was a sunny morning, check out the backlight!
We also took away the "kaya roll" priced at RM 12 (US 3.30). I bought 2 rolls, 1 for my parents and 1 for my in laws.
This was the owner manning the counter.
The bill / cheque came to RM 46.40 (US 13.50) plus the take away.
Overall, the food was good and the price was slightly expensive. Being 82 years old and staying strong, Yut Kee is a must visit place in Kuala Lumpur. Finally, we tried their famous roast pork, what a relief!

Why California lawmakers are failing to pass environmental bills
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
A new fracking law won't satisfy some environmental groups who have been pushing Gov. Jerry Brown for a moratorium. State Senator Fran Pavley originally supported a ban, but went on to author a controversial piece of legislation that adds some disclosure requirements but may be vulnerable to abuse, according to lawyers familiar with CEQA, the state's environmental quality act.
Over the last week we've been talking about the slew of bills the California state legislature passed before the end of its session last Thursday. Everything from tighter gun control to raising the minimum wage to allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain drivers licenses.
But notably absent from the discussion are environmental laws. In fact, a significant number of green measures wilted in the state legislature last year.

Fellow Texans,
I am honored to be running for the First Court of Appeals. I bring the perspective gained from 35 years of legal experience to ensure a balanced, knowledgeable, and hard-working judiciary. In its February endorsement, the Houston Chronicle noted, "Russell Lloyd won't find anything on the 1st Court of Appeals that he hasn't already handled at some point in his extensive career."
My background as a civil district judge for 10 years, a prosecutor, and a trial and appellate advocate on both sides of the docket provides a solid foundation for service on the court. My experience and reputation was recognized with a nomination as a federal judge. I am a Vietnam veteran and served 20 years in the military as a JAG Officer and Paratrooper. My greatest source of pride is my family. I have been married 31 years and have 2 children, all attorneys.
I promise to work hard and make decisions based on the law, without regard to politics or personal views . I believe partisan politics has no place in the courtroom. I will uphold the integrity of our courts and fight for equal access to justice for every Texan. I appreciate your interest and ask for your vote.

Does the shuttle worry about space junk?
With all of the communication, military, and scientific satellites orbiting the earth, how much traffic do the space shuttle astronauts have to worry about?
That's a good question. One of the duties of the US Space Command is to track all of those satellites, bits of junk, even lost screwdrivers (!) which are in orbit. During a shuttle mission, that information is forwarded to NASA. So far, NASA has had to change trajectories only two or three times since the program began, and in neither of those cases was there any real threat of collision. You have to remember that space is BIG, and a collision between two objects, even very nearby orbits, is extremely small.
The worst collision the shuttle has yet encountered was with a paint fleck some ten years ago or so which was too small to be tracked by Space Command. It nearly shattered the windshield. So although the probabilities are small, it is a concern.

Habitat on the Hill 2014
Welcome to Habitat on the Hill! Now in its eighth year, our annual legislative conference is an opportunity for U.S. Habitat affiliates and supporters to gain valuable advocacy knowledge on issues impacting affordable housing and community development, bring that knowledge in front of Congress and take it back to the field. Thank you for joining us remotely. If you missed the live stream, you may watch video coverage of the following sessions.
Take Action | Learn More | With generous support from our virtual engagement sponsor |
Tuesday, Feb. 11 at 8:30 a.m. EST Session summary: In the opening plenary of our 2014 Habitat on the Hill conference, Linda Kaufman of Community Solutions' 100,000 Homes Campaign along with key Habitat leaders presented a vision for true, national and global coordination on breaking down barriers to affordable housing, including through powerful advocacy campaigns. Ms. Kaufman was followed by Larry Gluth, Habitat's senior vice president of the U.S. and Canada office, who shared insights into Habitat's operations before presenting two of the first four annual advocacy awards. After the awards, conference attendees heard from Habitat for Humanity general counsel Liz Blake, who set the stage for a later discussion of Habitat's first-ever national advocacy campaign. The session was moderated by Stephen Sidel, senior director of global program design and implementation. |
Tuesday, Feb. 11 at 4:30 pm EST Session summary: In this session of the February 2014 Habitat on the Hill conference, Habitat for Humanity CEO Jonathan Reckford moderated a discussion with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan and the chair of Habitat's international board of directors, Renee Glover. Secretary Donovan addressed the state of housing finance reform and HUD programs like SHOP, HOME and CDBG, which are instrumental in helping Habitat achieve its mission. Ms. Glover discussed the many factors for which "good housing is a precondition," including education and health. Given the centrality of housing to the well-being of individuals and communities, Ms. Glover encouraged the attendees to "think about housing in a multidimensional way." |

Professor Bruce Ware teaches systematic theology at Southern Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. This work is the by-product of a lecture series given at a pastors' conference in March, 2004 (11). In chapter one he delineates eleven reasons why Christians should study the doctrine of the Trinity (13-22). Eight of those eleven emphasize the functional inner-workings of the Trinity, in keeping with the subtitle of the book that accentuates "relevance."
In chapter two, Ware chronicles three foundational axioms of the Trinity with a cursory overview of what the early church believed. The first is Scriptural Monotheism (24-28), emphasizing the biblical truth of only one true God. Here he invokes standard passages like Deut 6:4, 1 Kgs 8:59, Isa 45:5-6, John 17:3, 1 Tim 2:5, 1 Cor 8:6, and others. The second axiom he labels Scriptural Trinitarianism (29-35). Here he shows from the NT that Jesus is deity and equal to the Father in status, yet distinct from the Father in identity. He summarizes the unique relationship between Jesus and the Father with the adage, "Identity and distinction, equivalency and difference" (31). Distilled exposition of standard texts include John 1:1, 14; 8:58; Mark 2; and Hebrews 1. The third and final axiom is, Scriptural Trinitarianism: The Church's Formulation (35-42). Here he surveys the Arian heresy, the importance of the Council of Nicea in A.D. 325 and implications of the Council of Constantinople in 381. From the three above axioms Ware posits his formal version of an orthodox definition of the Trinity which is as follows: "The doctrine of the Trinity affirms that God's whole and undivided essence belongs equally, eternally, simultaneously, and fully to each of the three distinct Persons of the Godhead" (41).
The next three chapters are dedicated to functional relations among the three Persons of the Trinity (43-130), with a chapter emphasizing each of the three respective Persons. Here Ware ardently argues the case of eternal subordination of the Son and the Holy Spirit within the Trinity. Detractors of his view are repeatedly labeled "egalitarian" (72, 80, 88, 138, 143). The three Persons of the Trinity have clearly demarcated roles, with an inherent eternal hierarchy of authority and submission— with the Father as preeminent. This irrevocable order of authority and submission that exists within the Trinity, Ware calls taxis, a technical term he wields at least fifteen times (72-73, 77, 85, 96, 122, 151, 153, 156-58). Chapter three addresses the Father, where the author asserts seventeen times that "the Father is…supreme within the Godhead." The theme of chapter four is "that Jesus' submission to the Father extends from eternity past to eternity future" (84). Chapter five highlights the Holy Spirit's inter-trinitarian role, which entails advancing "the work of the Son, to the glory of the Father" who "embraces eternally the backstage position in relation to the Father and the Son" (104); who "assists" the Father (105); who takes "a backseat to the Son and the Father" (125), in eternity past, in time and in eternity future.
The last chapter is dedicated to explaining ten practical applications that Christians are to assimilate in daily living after the model of the eternal inner-workings of the Trinity (131-58). Paramount among these is the principle of "authority and submission" (137). This resonates with Ware's overarching theme that weaves through every chapter: "The Father is supreme in authority, the Son is under the Father, and the Spirit is under the Father and the Son" (131).
The late Carl F. H. Henry wrote in 1982, "American evangelical theology has not on the whole contributed significant literature to the current revival of trinitarian interest" (God, Revelation and Authority, V:212). He may have spoken too soon, for since then many notable works have been generated, including Demarest and Lewis, Integrative Theology (1987); Grudem, Systematic Theology (1994); White, The Forgotten Trinity (1998); Erickson, Making Sense of the Trinity (2000); Feinberg, No One Like Him (2001); Geisler, Systematic Theology (2003); Culver, Systematic Theology (2005). And now, most recently, Ware's work can be added to the list.
One strength of Ware's book is that it is Scripturally-driven—the book is saturated with biblical texts. This is in stark contrast with many other standard works on the Trinity, like Rahner's The Trinity (1967), which is totally void of Scripture. Ware's allegiance to biblical terminology might explain his conspicuous avoidance of typical trinitarian words like "economic," "immanent," "ontological," and "perichoresis" that abound in other works (although he champions the word taxis to an extreme). Like a growing number of theologians (e.g., Erickson, Feinberg, Geisler), Ware frowns upon the phrases "eternal generation of the Son" and "eternal procession of the Spirit" as historically understood because they are "highly speculative" and not biblical (162). The greatest strength of the book is his emphasis on practical application. He makes a convincing case for the relevance of the doctrine of the Triune God in the daily life of the believer—examples abound. His writing style is also lucid, systematic, logical, and accessible to the average lay person.
As for weaknesses, the reader might frequently be confused by Ware's strong "subordinationist" perspective. He seems to make no clear distinction between trinitarian subordination within the economic Trinity versus the immanent Trinity. Orthodoxy has always affirmed functional subordination within the Godhead, but has rejected ontological subordination. Clarity on his position would have proved helpful.
Any serious Bible student who wants to delve into trinitarian studies should add Ware to the list as a must read. But it can't be read in isolation—his "eternal subordinationist" slant needs to be ameliorated by the contemporary works of Erickson, White, and Feinberg, who argue for temporal subordination. In addition, reference is also warranted to the classic articles on the Trinity by Carl F. H. Henry and B. B. Warfield, both of whom cautioned against overly aggressive eternal subordinationist interpretations.

text: A Hollywood Cinderella story: Once upon a time (last year) former stand-up comic Steve Hytner, 31, toiled tirelessly in small parts (like in Ski Patrol, a movie dubbed ''Police Academy on skis''). Then he took an unassuming job as a ''reader,'' feeding lines to actors auditioning for a new Hollywood Pictures' movie. Hytner caught the attention of the film's director, Jerry Rees, who was so impressed that he arranged an audition for Hytner with screenwriter Neil Simon. Poof! Hytner snagged the plum role of George, one of Alec Baldwin's four good pals in The Marrying Man. ''It was the most exciting point of my career,'' says Hytner. ''I called my mom and all she could say was, 'Oh! Oh! Oh!''' Despite rumors of feuding on the set, Hytner says he and his male costars ''became a really tight-knit group.'' The five actors (Hytner, Baldwin, Paul Reiser, Fisher Stevens, and Peter Dobson) even took a four-day weekend together in Las Vegas where, Hytner says, he ''beat Alec pretty good on the tennis court.'' Baldwin didn't take it too hard: He later sent Hytner a $300 racket as a gift. Now, Hytner is busy starring in the new NBC television series The 100 Lives of Black Jack Savage and frequently auditions for movie roles. It seems like he'll have to wait to break in that racket.

According to a Kentucky Orthopedic Rehab Team (KORT) news release, several KORT physical therapists have earned an orthopaedic specialist certification. Brandon Fowler PT, DPT, PCS and Emily Green, PT, DPT, OCS of Louisville, Lee Miller, PT, DPT, OCS of Nicholasville, Ky, and Daniel Cayse PT, DPT, OCS of Richmond have each earned the professional designation Orthopaedic Certified Specialist (OCS) from the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties (ABPTS).
The APTA website notes that the specialist certification program was created to provide formal recognition to therapists with advanced clinical knowledge, skills, and experience in a specialized area of practice. The program was also established to assist consumers and the health care community in identifying these physical therapists. The KORT news release that the ABPTS has certified fewer than 7,000 clinicians since the inception of the Orthopaedic Specialist in 1989.
The OCS designation, according to APTA, is for those clinicians who meet the highest standards and have demonstrated the ability to provide specialized care to individuals with bone fractures, skeletal system abnormalities, and other orthopedic issues. In order to gain this specialist certification, the PT must provide of having provided 2,000 hours of direct special care in the last 10 years with 500 hours in the past 3 years, while also completing a comprehensive application and exam.
KORT president Jason Chambers states the physical therapists, "have received one of the highest designations available in our profession. They are a shining example of why KORT is a leader in the industry and demonstrates our commitment to continued education and excellence."

Frankfurt, April 2 2012 – Advent International, the global private equity firm, today an-nounced that it has appointed Dr. Günter von Au – longstanding executive board chair-man of Süd-Chemie AG – to its Operating Partner Programme. As a leading authority on the international chemical industry, Dr. von Au will advise Advent on investment oppor-tunities within the sector. He will also use his expertise to support the business develop-ment of Advent's existing portfolio companies.
Dr. von Au's industry expertise spans several decades, during which he has acquired extensive management experience.

From 1996 to 2001, he headed up the polymer division and was spokesperson of the management board of Wacker Polymer Systems GmbH. In addition, he held supervisory board mandates at subsidiaries of the group. As early as 1983 to 1987, he served as Technical Director for Wacker Química do Brasil Ltda. in São Paulo.
Dr. von Au is chairman of the board of the Bavarian Chemical Industry Association and a management board member and vice president of the Cologne Institute for Economic Research. He is also a member of the senate of both the Fraunhofer Society and the National Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech) and, in addition, has taken on the role of deputy chairman of the Clariant AG Supervisory Board on April 1, 2012.
Ronald Ayles, Managing Director and Head of Advent´s Chemicals practice said: "We are delighted that Dr. von Au will be supporting us in the future with his extensive industry experience. He is a high-profile individual in the chemical industry who has developed a fundamental understanding of the market and its structures over three decades and has an excellent international network. For over 20 years, Advent International has been building up a successful track record of investments in the chemical industry – this sector has always been of particular interest to us, which makes Dr. von Au a good partner for us."
"Advent International is among the most renowned private equity companies with a very diversified and interesting portfolio of chemical investments. Advent continually seeks to develop its investments both strategically and operationally which offers me an attractive new challenge. I am already looking forward to leveraging my experience and working with Advent as we pursue new investment opportunities in the chemical space", com-mented Dr. Günter von Au.
This is the latest appointment to Advent's Operating Partner Programme, a long-established and successful element of the firm's highly operational approach to investing.
