Compulsory life terms 'should end': Leading judge says automatic sentence for murder causes potential injustice. Heather Mills reports
Lord Lane said the law should not treat a terrorist or hit-man in the same way as a battered wife who kills her violent partner, or a doctor or relative who helps in a mercy killing. 'I cannot believe there is public support for this,' he said.
The report, which has widespread support from the judiciary, including Lord Taylor, the current Lord Chief Justice, will add to pressure on the Government to reform the law on murder in its forthcoming Criminal Justice Bill. However, Michael Howard, the Home Secretary, not wanting to be seen as soft on crime, yesterday said on ITN news: 'I am not persuaded by anything I have so far heard.'
But Lord Lane said: 'Abolition of the mandatory life sentence is not a sign of weakness on law and order. It is a change which will restore meaning to the sentence of life imprisonment, strengthen public confidence in the courts, and reassure the families of victims.'
The committee, which included Lord Windlesham, the former chairman of the Parole Board, Sir Patrick Russell, a Court of Appeal judge, and Sir Louis Blom-Cooper, chairman of the Mental Health Commission, recommended that a full range of penalties be available to judges - from life for the most serious of killers, to one that might allow freedom.
Lord Lane said that, after considering evidence from a wide range of individuals and organisations, 'the clear conclusion is that the mandatory life sentence results in potential injustice, while confusing and misleading the public. The purpose of our recommendations is to end the unsavoury courtroom devices currently adopted to evade the difficulties which result from the mandatory life sentence.
'In addition, decisions on punishments will be made openly by judges and not in secret by politicians.'
Currently, when a trial judge gives a mandatory life sentence, he or she then makes a confidential recommendation for a fixed number of years, which is sent to the Lord Chief Justice, who adds his view and forwards it to the Home Secretary to make the final decision on a release date. But the committee said there should be no executive role and criticised Mr Howard's statement last July that, before any life prisoner is released on licence, he would consider the 'public acceptability'.
'Experience teaches that when politicians resort to public opinion as a basis for a change of policy or a fresh course of action, it is advisable to scrutinise the proposals with particular care,' the committee said.
Its report says: 'The judges at present find themselves having to pass a sentence which in many cases is patently inappropriate and does not mean what it says. This does nothing to enhance their standing and nothing to enhance the authority of the law.'
It points out that the Prison Service is forced to spend a disproportionate amount of time, energy and resources dealing with a large number of lifers - a great many not a danger to the public - who pose special problems caused by the fact that they do not know when they are to be freed.

Media Blackout: GAO Says Obama's Welfare Waivers Illegal
On Sept. 4, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) made a startling assertion saying that Obama circumvented the law when he summarily waived the work requirements in the welfare law. Perhaps not as shocking, to date, few news outlets seem interested in the story.
In its Sept. 4 letter, the GAO found that Health and Human Services (HHS) should have formally submitted a letter of its intent to make the changes to Congress and the Comptroller General before any waivers can be legally issued.
The letter also said that the GAO had not determined if HHS had the legal right to even make such waivers available. The GAO is basically saying that the Obama administration is breaking the law with its waivers.
But, according to a review of the shocking news of the GAO's determination, neither CNN, nor CBS, nor ABC have bothered to report the story.
For their part, Republicans and GOP nominee Mitt Romney have maintained that Obama's gutting of the work requirements in the welfare law was an illicit move.
Former U.S. Representative Ron Haskins, who helped pass the work requirements back in 1996, feels that Obama acted improperly by summarily changing the rules without going through Congress saying, "But [HHS] didn't even consult with the Republicans. They knew the spirit of the law, and they violated that."
Ways and Means Committee Chairman, Representative Dave Camp, agrees with Haskins. Camp says that the move was an "end run" around Congress.
Obama, however, has defended his move even going so far as to claim that it was several Republican Governors that requested the change.
At least one governor refuted the claim, though, saying his office was only asking what the rules were for waivers but that he had yet to actually request any.

Riders conquer tough terrain at Cyclocross
Forks transformed into rugged course
There were plenty of chills, thrills and spills Sunday at The Forks when the famous tourist attraction was transformed into a gruelling bike circuit for the Manitoba Cyclocross Championship.
"It's a very punishing course," said Anna Schappert, 22, a Canada Games mountain bike silver medallist who finished second in her division Sunday.
Spectators and supporters of riders in the 2013 Manitoba Cyclocross Championship lined the three-kilometre route that twisted its way through every type of terrain at The Forks. It took 25 volunteers 13 hours to prepare the circuit, race announcer Scott Scoles said.
Riders snaked their way through hairpin turns on the hill next to The Forks parkade, many wiping out crossing a gravel walkway, then getting right back on their bike to climb the "knoll of pain." Close to the riverwalk, the cyclists faced a sandpit -- a stretch that forced some riders off their bikes to slog through ankle-deep sand before carrying their bikes up a flight of stairs.
Volunteer crossing guards at points along the fenced Cyclocross route made sure visitors to the busy area didn't get run down by the racers.
"It's a lot of people to control," said a volunteer outside Travel Manitoba, waving a bright orange flag to warn the crossing guards nearby a racer was about to round the corner.
Sharp turns on slick cobblestones around Johnston Terminal caused a crash that involved several riders.
"They were yelling 'Whoa, whoa, whoa,' " said spectator Jim Backus. One racer didn't get up right away after having the wind knocked out of him. He laid on the ground for several minutes before getting up and walking away from the race.
Backus said he was there to holler at his friend Brad Gauthier, who was riding in a championship race.
"You come out to heckle riders," said Backus, whose caught the cyclocross bug and wants to start racing next year. "I want to be the fat guy getting heckled next year," he said with a laugh.
Cyclocross is not necessarily for elite cyclists or the intensely competitive, said racer Daniel Enns.
"People don't take it quite as seriously," he said before winning the championship's over-30 division.
"It's not stodgy -- you don't need the best equipment to get into cyclocross," he said, standing astride his bike an hour before his big race. He was cheering for the men and women, young and old, paunchy and slim in an earlier race as they exited the dreaded sandpit and schlepped their bikes up the stone stairs.
"The sand is going to be the most challenging part," Enns predicted. "When you're in it, it's the worst thing ever."
When the race is over, you're so glad you did it, he said. "You race really hard and have a good time, then relax and get together for a beer."
Enns finished second overall and first in the 30-plus age category.
The eight-lap championship race was won by Chris Prendergast in the 19-to-23 age group. Aaron Carter took the junior men's title and Jayson Gillespie took the senior men's title.
Before the main event, riders aged three to 59 raced along the route.
Three-year-old Hugo Wiebe competed in his first mini-cyclocross Sunday, including a ride up the knoll of pain.
"Every day I practise," said Hugo, whose year-old baby sister, Petra, watched him and their parents Dana, 40, and Greg, 47 compete.
It's fun to watch, said 10-year-old Sam Stephanson. He was keeping watch for his dad, Scott, at a corner where a half-dozen riders in the span of a few minutes wiped out crossing a gravel walkway. Scott Stephanson raced by without incident. Sam said his dad was well prepared for Sunday's Cyclocross.
"Two years ago, my dad started to eat healthy and get in shape." Now he teaches a spin class and races cyclocross, he said.
Thanks to people like Stephanson, the sport has grown in Manitoba. Schappert said when she got involved four years ago, she'd see 50 people sign up for an event. On Sunday, close to 200 took part.
It's become so popular, the Manitoba Cycling Association has put in a bid to host the 2014 Canadian Cyclocross Championships at The Forks. A decision is expected within the next week, said Scoles.
"Hopefully this weekend next year, it'll be here," said Schappert.
What if there's snow?
"We'll still do it."

Full disclosure put on trial in France
The trial of a French security researcher last week has become a cause celebre. Its outcome will decide if interested parties can "peek under the bonnet" in testing the road-worthiness of security products without falling foul of French law.
The case began more than three years ago when Guillaume Tena (AKA Guillermito) released proof of concept code to highlight security bypass and worm evasion flaws in Viguard, an antivirus product, from French company Tegam. Tena produced exploits showing that Tegam's generic anti-virus failed to stop "100 per cent of known and unknown viruses" as claimed. He posted his findings to a French usenet newsgroup in the summer of 2001 before published the research on a website in March 2002.

PoliticsSyrian army 'laying mines on Lebanese border' Mines claim attributed to unnamed Lebanese official as eight more Syrians are reportedly killed. 28 Oct 2011 04:28 GMT | Politics, Middle East, China, Jordan, Lebanon Supporters of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad held a huge rally in the city of Latakia [Reuters] Syrian troops have been accused of planting mines along a region bordering northern Lebanon, according to AFP news agency quoting a Lebanese official. The official, who refused to be named, said on Thursday that the troops began planting the mines at dawn in an area facing two Lebanese villages - Knaysseh and Al-Hnayder - in a bid to stem weapons smuggling along the porous border. "A number of Syrian soldiers were also seen deploying on their side of the border, near the Syrian villages of Heet and Buwayt," he said. Live Box 20117693233259422 Meanwhile, eight people have been killed - five in Homs, two in Deraa and one in Jableh - as the government crackdown continued against anti-government protesters, as per the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights [SOHR]. A 14-year-old boy was among the dead, killed after security forces opened fire in the town of Dael in Deraa province. The rights group said more than 20 people have been arrested there. The Local Co-ordination Committees, an activist network on the ground, said security forces entered several towns to the east of Damascus looking for people "on the basis of lists". Deraa strike Security forces on Thursday resorted to what residents said high-handedness and excessive force after residents in Deraa, in southern Syria near the border with Jordan, went on a strike. "Merchants are opening their shops under threat of force. The security forces had smashed shops last night and warned that anyone who does not open will find a security personnel in their shop," Salem Jawabreh, a butcher in the Mahatta area of Deraa, said by telephone. Live Box 2011421105226899357 State television, meanwhile, broadcast images of a huge rally supporting President Bashar al-Assad in the coastal city of Latakia, saying people had shown up to voice their support for Assad's reform programme and their rejection of foreign interference. The demonstration in Latakia came one day after a similar pro-government rally was held in the capital, Damascus. Several times since protests broke out in March, Assad has promised reforms, but opponents have said that these were too little too late. The United Nations says about 3,000 people have been killed since protests began in March, including protesters and members of the security forces. On the diplomatic front, foreign minister Walid al-Muallem held talks with China's special envoy for the Middle East, who reaffirmed his country's opposition to foreign interference in Syria, Syria's official news agency said.Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

Is The World Abandoning The U.S. Economy?
Brandon Smith, Contributor
Thursday, October 25, 2012
Activist Post
Go to any university, any center of equities trade, any meeting place for financial academia, any fiscal think tank, and they will tell you without the slightest hint of doubt in their eyes that the U.S. economy is essential to the survival of the world.
To even broach the possibility that the U.S. could be dropped or replaced as the central pillar of trade on the planet is greeted with sneers and even anger. But let's set aside what we think (or what we assume) we know about the American financial juggernaut and consider the sordid history of the money powerhouse myth.
Germany, especially in the decade leading up to WWI, was an industrial giant, rivaling Britain in the production of raw commodities like steel, as well as the banking envy of the world. I'm sure very few economists of the era would have given any credence to the idea that the German foundation would in the near future collapse into hyperinflationary ruin. However, that is exactly what it did. In the span of 10 to 15 years, Germany was completely supplanted as the shining beacon of economic prosperity, never to return to a similar glory.
The British Empire from WWII up until the late 1950s was the primary force in the global trade of oil, and the pound-sterling was dominant in the export and import of raw petroleum between nations. Extreme debt obligations and draining interventions in the Middle East set Britain on the path to currency devaluation, and the loss of its coveted reserve status.

TV Tonight: So You Think You Can Dance
There seems to be a neverending barrage of dance shows on TV right now. There's the good (Dancing With the Stars), the bad (Step It Up and Dance), and the ugly (Your Mama Don't Dance). And even though you guys seemed pretty evenly split about the dance show trend, the show that the majority of you were most excited about was So You Think You Can Dance. I completely agree.
Tonight kicks off Season 4 of the show, and from the looks of the preview, this season will be good. Host Cat Deeley (who looks a little like she could be Blake Lively's sister, no?) promises that this year packs "more thrills, more spills, and more talent than any other show on TV." Quite the mighty claim. Tonight, expect the usual American Idol-esque antics during the audition process where the show will focus on the amazingly good and the awesomely bad. From there, the best dancers will get a ticket for the next round of auditions in Las Vegas. I know I'll be tuning in, how about you?
To see a preview reel from this season of So You Think You Can Dance, read more.

Just before 3 a.m. this morning, Baltimore County Police responded to the Catonsville Pharmacy in the 6300 block of Frederick Road 21228 for a report of a burglary. Officers obtained suspect, and suspect vehicle information, and broadcast it to other officers in the area.
At approximately 3:30 a.m., Pikesville Precinct officers observed the suspect vehicle in front of the Woodmoor Pharmacy in the 7000 block of Liberty Road 21207. When officers approached the vehicle, it fled the scene. Officers pursued the suspect vehicle to the area of Franklintown Road and Winans Way in Baltimore City where the vehicle rammed a police vehicle, lost control, and hit a guard rail. Three suspects exited the vehicle and fled the scene but were later caught by police.
Due to the sensitive nature of the on-going investigation, no further information (including suspect and suspect vehicle descriptions) can be released at this time.

Baltimore, MD (SportsNetwork.com) - Dioner Navarro finished with three hits and drove in a pair of runs, leading Toronto to a 5-2 decision over Baltimore in Sunday's finale of a four-game series.
Edwin Encarnacion doubled twice among his three hits and scored twice for the Jays, who received an RBI each from Melky Cabrera, Jose Bautista and Steve Tolleson in the victory.
J.A. Happ (6-3) worked six-plus innings, allowing seven hits and one run while fanning six. Casey Janssen recorded the game's final four outs to earn his 12th save.
"Today was a big game for us," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "We came to life a little bit and Happ was outstanding. He really was. He gave us what we needed, just like he was the other night. He gave us a chance to win."
Adam Jones homered and Nelso Cruz added a run-scoring hit for the Orioles. Chris Tillman (5-4) lasted seven frames, but was charged for three runs on eight hits in defeat.
"I thought he presented himself well and had given us everything he could give us to that point," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said of removing Tillman.
Cruz singled home Jones in the home sixth for the O's first burst of meaningful offense, but the hosts were behind by 3-1. Controversy arose in the eighth around a Jays player sliding into home, as it did in Saturday's contest.
Bautista walked and Encarnacion moved him to third on a ground-rule double. Brett Lawrie then bounced to deep short, where J.J. Hardy's throw home was in time, but Nick Hundley appeared to have missed a tag on Bautista as he got a piece of the plate with his hand. Replay determined a tag was made, leaving runners on first and second.
Navarro doubled in Encarnacion, then an Erik Kratz walk loaded the bases for a fielder's choice grounder from Tolleson to make it 5-1 for the Jays.
"Those were beautiful hits and they got the job done," Bautista said of Navarro's run-scoring efforts. "You've got to hit them where there's nobody playing defense."
Jones' line-drive homer to left in the home half was all the comeback the Orioles could muster.
The Jays got to Tillman in the first, as Jose Reyes led off with a single, moved up on a groundout and scored when Bautista followed with a double.
Toronto went up 2-0 in the fourth, after Encarnacion doubled and was chased home on a one-out single from Navarro. It was 3-0 in the fifth on Cabrera's sacrifice fly to plate Anthony Gose, who singled and went to third when Reyes followed with a double.
"We just needed to do a better job behind him," Showalter added. "We just didn't score enough runs."
Toronto's win evened the season series with Baltimore at five wins apiece, but the Jays have won four of seven at Camden Yards ... Tillman joined Jimmy Key, Rudy May, Jack Fisher and Jeff Ballard as the only O's starters to pitch seven innings without recording either a walk or a strikeout ... The Jays continue their road trip on Tuesday in the Bronx, while the Orioles kick off a six-game sojourn in Tampa Bay on Monday.

With Clitsome back in action, Pardy gets ticket to The Rock
AFTER missing the first two games, defenceman Grant Clitsome was activated by the Jets on Sunday.
Clitsome missed some time in the final week of training camp with an undisclosed injury and the day before the regular season began, the team placed him on the injured reserve list retroactive to the final week of camp.
He sat out in Edmonton and again Friday night when the L.A. Kings were here, but did get into practice at the MTS Centre Saturday.
With Clitsome's return to health, the Jets assigned defenceman Adam Pardy to the AHL's St. John's IceCaps to comply with the maximum 23-man roster for the regular season.
DUCKS coach Bruce Boudreau has been around the block a time or two, including a lengthy playing career.
So, as a talkative sort -- his nickname is Gabby, after all -- he's been in his share of rhubarbs with opponents.
Sunday, Boudreau was asked for his opinion on coaches having in-game debates through the glass that separates benches.
Already there have been two heated exchanges this season.
"I don't want to touch that," Boudreau said. "I went through that before."
He paused, then gave a question back to the two dozen reporters surrounding him near the Ducks dressing room.
"Who was it though?"
Told Vancouver's John Tortorella was launching nouns and verbs at the Edmonton bench on Saturday, with some return fire in his direction, Boudreau said with a wide smile, "Oh, they went at it? Oh."
He declined any further comment on the matter but his facial expressions said volumes.
WHEN Teemu Selanne shows up on any given night, it means one of the NHL's most prolific scorers is in the building.
In Sunday's case, it was quite a list of Finnish-born stars.
On the MTS Centre ice were three of the top four Finnish NHL scorers of all time.
Selanne tops the list with 1,430 points entering Sunday's game. Jari Kurri follows at 1,398.
Selanne's teammate Saku Koivu is next with 804 points and in fourth place is Jets' centre Olli Jokinen at 699.
Jokinen scored his 300th career goal on Friday and is one assist away from 400 in his career.
THE anticipation of Sunday's second return for Selanne caused a lot of questions in the Jets' quarters over the weekend.
Most spoke of enjoying the spectacle but Winnipeg defenceman Zach Bogosian, who played in the first return nearly two years ago, said there's so much going on during the game once the puck goes down, he's got little time for that kind of hype
"I'm speaking for myself -- I'm not really paying attention," Bogosian said. "Some guys might but I'm just trying to focus on the game. There's a lot going on down there at ice level and I have a few more, bigger things to worry about than fans screaming.
"But it's cool, a fun atmosphere to play in when it's like that in the building."
