Kachin Independence Army
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (January 2012) |
The Kachin Independence Army (Kachin: ShangLawt Hpyen, Burmese: ကချင် လွတ်မြောက်ရေး တပ်မတော်; abbreviated KIA) is the military army of the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO), a political group composed of ethnic Kachins in northern Burma (Myanmar). The Kachins are a coalition of six tribes whose homeland encompasses territory in Yunnan, China and Northeast India, in addition to Kachin State in Burma. In May 2012, the Associated Press reported that the rebel group had approximately 8,000 troops.[1]
The KIA was formed on February 5, 1961 in response to a military coup in Burma led by General Ne Win, who attempted to consolidate Burmese control over regions on the periphery of the state which were home to various ethnic groups. From 1961 through 1994, the KIA fought a grueling and inconclusive war against the Burmese junta. Originally the KIA fought for independence, but now the official KIA policy goal is for autonomy within a federal union of Burma.[citation needed]
The 1994 ceasefire agreement between the KIA and the Burmese junta froze the conflict in place.[citation needed] The KIA has not disarmed or surrendered and continues to recruit, train and mobilize soldiers.[2] Prior to the ceasefire, the KIA was predominantly a low-tech guerrilla force, but peace has provided the breathing room to establish a military academy and to design rigorous officer training programs.[3]
The KIA is fully funded by the KIO, which raises revenue through taxes (in their area) and trading resources such as jade, timber and gold. Although well equipped for jungle warfare, the KIA does not have much modern weaponry.[citation needed] Their rifles are a motley collection of AK-47s, home-made rifles such as a KA-07, and commanders claim to have some artillery. KIA headquarters are located outside the town of Laiza, in southern Kachin state near the Chinese border.[2] Former headquarters, located at Pajau, are a 2 to 3 hour drive from Laiza, high in the mountains along the border.[citation needed]
Although the ceasefire between the government and the KIA has endured since 1994,[4] in 2009 many Kachins expected a renewed outbreak of war in conjunction with elections scheduled for 2010. The Military junta that runs Burma demanded that all ethnic armies disarm before the 2010 general elections because the new constitution requires only one army in Burma. According to Gen. Gam Shawng Gunhtang, the chief of staff of the KIA, the demands to disarm were "not acceptable" because he regards that disarming KIA does not guarantee peace between the Military junta and KIA.[5] In February 2010 Alastair Leithead reported for the BBC that KIA's Chief of Staff, Maj Gen Gam Shawng said "I can't say if there will be war for sure, but the government wants us to become a border guard force for them by the end of the month", and "We will not do that, or disarm, until they have given us a place in a federal union and ethnic rights as was agreed in Panglong Agreement in 1947".[2]
In October 2010 KIA commanders informed the BBC that they have "10,000 regular troops and 10,000 reservists", but the BBC had no way to confirm this,[4] and in 2009 Thomas Fuller of the New York Times estimated their numbers at about 4,000 active soldiers.[5] The soldiers are divided into five brigades, plus one mobile brigade. Most are stationed in bases close to the Chinese border, in strips of territory held by the KIO.[5] One brigade is stationed in northern Shan state, where there is a large Kachin population.[citation needed]

New outbreak of violence in 2011-2012[edit]
In 2011 General Sumlut Gun Maw confirmed the renewal of fighting in the state of Kachin for independence.[6][7] One of the new reasons for ending the ceasefire was the creation of the Myitsone Dam, which requires the submergence of dozens of villages in Kachin state.[8]
The 2011–2012 Kachin Conflict in 2011 had displaced between 35,000 and 75,000 people and killed hundreds.[9]
New Democratic Army-Kachin (NDAK) is a defected part of KIA led by Zahkung Ting Ying which affiliated with Burma Communist Party in 1968 before it was created as NDAK formally in Dec 1989.[10]
Forcible recruitment[edit]
Thousands of protesters gathered in Myitkyina on 20 December 2013 to demonstrate against the forcible recruitment of ethnic Shan people into the KIA. The KIA has allegedly recruited about 100 Taileng fighters from Mansi Township in late 2013.[11][12]

The Rising of a group of Kachin insurgence[edit]
1. Naw Seng, a Kachin who went underground at the riot between Kayin-Bama taking place in 1949 as in the rank of captain from No. (1) Kachin battalion joined KNDO. He was in active movement in northern Shan State as a KNDO force in1950. At that time Zaw Seng who was attending the eighth standard at the government high school in Lasho, making contact with Naw Seng, went underground. When Naw Seng took refuge in China in 1951, Zaw Seng was, instead of accompanying him, in a tumult in the movement of KNDO in Than-daung and Baw-ga-li.
2. In 1959, Gilitlin, by the Kachin name of Zaw Bawk, assigned as a counselor, was sent to organize the inhabitants to carry out the underground operations in the area of northern Shan State. Zaw Seng, together with Gilitlin, took shelter in Nant Un village, Ho Kone district where his mother served as a teacher and began his mission. Zaw Tu, Zaw Seng's younger brother who was a university student ran away from the university and, joining with Zaw Seng, also went underground.
Moreover, Lance Corporal Lamung Tu Jai who was educating in Theinni after being dismissed from No.(4) Kachin battalion and Lama La Ring who returned to Kutkai after leaving the university, having contact with Zaw Seng, formed Kachin Independence Organization (K.I.O.) in 1960.
3. In the KIO Zaw Seng took charge as the head of the unit, Zaw Tu as the deputy head and Lama La Ring as the secretary. While being the time of attacking to take position among politicians, they provided KIO with ammunitions to form it as a private army resulted in an armed group with the strength of 27 members.
The Starting of KIA Insurgency[edit]
4. KIO started its armed movements ever since the bank raid of on February 5, 1960. No sooner did the insurgents start the armed attacks than the Kachin youths organized by Zaw Saing and Zaw Tu went underground simultaneously. By the strength of 100, Kachin Independence Army (KIA) and Kachin Independence Council (KIC) were formed in Lwe Tauk, Theindi on February 5, 1961, taking the responsibility of the chief-commander by Zaw Saing and the major-commander by Gyilitlin.
5. A base camp built far about 10 miles in the east of Sin Li village near Kuk Khine, Northern Shan State, No. (1) a basic military course was run on March 16, 1961.
No. (1) KIA battlion was established in Monbar, Bammaw and No. (2) in Mon Si and Mon Htan by La Mar La Rein with the strength of 300 people.
In addition, Villagers' Defence Forces equipped with percussion lock firearms were ordered to disturb the Tatmadaw forces.
6. Taking advantage upon prescribing Buddhism as the State's religion on August 26, 1961, demonstration against the announcement upon inclusion of Phimaw, Gawlan and Kanphan regions into China in the borderline treaty of China-Burma, and demanding the Federal Policy from Shan Monarchy, KIO had an opportunity to attack. Based on the narrow racial perspective, by means of racial abhorrence and antiradicalism of Burma they made alert with an aim of establishing Independent Kachin Republic. Thus, many innocent younger generations were under the Kachin Insurgents.
7. At such period of political crisis, Buddhism was prescribed as the State's religion by the meeting of two parliaments. Although Buddhism became the State's religion, since there was the right to have independent reverence according to No. 17 Act, 1962, Law of constitution (third amendment), no significance arouse. However, those of other religions mistook that they did not have independent reverence and protested in anger. KIO consisting of only 27 members then became strong by organizing with the reason that they lost independent reverence. Several Kachin nationals protested against the inclusion of Kachin areas Phimaw, Gawlan, Kanphan areas of Kachin into China territory.
The Organization that fell through in peace talk[edit]
8. Local peace talk was taken place in Yangon as well as in respective regions. For example, the meeting with Rakine communist party of Kway Zan Shwee were held in Ngapali; Kachin insurgents in Mandalay.
9. In early 1963, KIA had already formed one Brigade and six battalions and developed up to the strength of over 1,000. Though there were almost 300 in the areas of Lasho - Kut khine; about 380 in Bammaw - Myit Kyi Nar in 1962, yet it was increasing after having occupied Bam Maw - Sein Lone road and Bam Maw- Man Wane road through the extension to the west bank of the Irrawaddy and northeastern Myit Kyi Nar and Hu Kaung valley.
10. On announcing the offering of the local peace by the revolution council on June 11, 1963, KIA arrived at Bam Maw by the arrangement of the revolution council after the correspondence in negotiation. Zaw Dan, the agent from KIA, together with his body, arrived at Mandalay via Bam Maw on August 31, 1963. Then, the divisional authorities met with him again on behalf of the representative of the revolution council on September 1, 1963 after the tentative talk with Brigade officer, No.7 Brigade.
11. During talks, Zaw Dan, with his members, demanded the following points_
(a) to give rights to own rules and freedom to respective ethnic groups,
(b) to establish private sovereignty, the main aim of the armed revolution of Kachin public,
(c) To sign in agreement in the treaty of friendship dealing after the secession based on following facts-
(1) to pay mutual respect to restore the territory and sovereignty.
(2) not to invade.
(3) not to intervene in local affairs.
(4) to deal equal and reciprocal effects.
(5) to live in co-existence.
12. All requests are to disintegrate totally but there was no comply. In addition, Zaw Tu, one of the top list leaders of KIA occupied almost all of villages in Kar Mie,
Bam Maw during the period of talks. For the failure of talks, KIA collected man, weapon and ammunition with heart and soul and the strength developed up to 20,000 by the end of 1963.
KIA after the failure of the peace Talk[edit]
13. Kachin insurgents or KIA could have formed one brigade and six battalions before the peace talk in 1963 by the strength of over 1000. During the talk, with the revolution council, the representative group led by Zaw Dan gathered people and obtained money by extortion. Then, Zaw Tu crossed the Ayeyarwaddy and invaded Ka Mine, a site where gem could be explored. Almost all villages in Ka Mine were under the influence of KIA. The strength of KIA developed up to over 20,000 by the end of 1963 through collecting man, weapon and ammunitions.
14. In 1964, KIA formed Brigade (2). Zaw Sai commanded Brigade (1) consisted of Battalion (1), (2) and (5). Brigade (1) based on Mon Bar Par village, Mansi township (SO-4888). Brigade 2 was commanded by Zaw Too and it based in Magibon (S-4404). Then Battalion 7 was formed with strength 800 and Zaw Too commanded it. Battalion 7 was formed based on VDF.
15. Zaw Too increased the strength of Brigade 2 up to 1400 personnel and it operated in Putao, Chibwe, Lawkhaung, Myitkyina, Bamaw and Kokant. The top leaders of KIA, Zaw Sai, Zaw Dan and Zaw Too, were popular as Three Zaws in November 1964.
16. Tatmataw defeated and carried out many operations to the KIA in 1964 December because their strength decreased in Kachin state and northern Shan state.
Operations carried by the Tatmataw were_
(a) Gan Gaw Operation.
(b) Aung Myay Operation.
(c) Kaung Ya Bwam Operation.
(d) Kha Yang Operation.
17. KIA was defeated seriously by the operations of Myanmar Tatmadaw 1964 and December to September 1965. These operations resulted in 696 wounded and 377 dead of KIA personnel. 2223 KIA surrendered and 1064 personnel were arrested by the Myanmar Tatmadaw. Therefore, the strength of KIA was less in the year of 1965 and 1966.
18. KIA was defeated in every corner and the leaders of KIA tried to recover in many ways. Chief of KIA Zaw Hsaing went to Thailand to look for help and established a base for drug and jade trade at the border area Htaan Woo(LU-0505). G Lit lin(Zaw Bout) served as the advisor of Zaw Hsaing. Zaw Hsaing also tried to seek the assistance from SEATO by going Chainmai, Bangkok and Fawmoser in December 11, 1965. The foreign contact person Mabransaing went to the Chaw Kan valley and discussed for India assistance in 1966. However it was not successful.
19. In early 1966, Tatmadaw extracted some forces form the operations of Kachin State to establish the 77 Brigade to be able to defeat the Communist Party of Burma (CPB). At this period, KIA got chances to make its strength stronger.
KIA took contact the neighbouring country[edit]
20. After the strike of students broke out in 1967 June26, the leader of KIA Zaw Too was supported by the neighbouring country. At that time, KIA regained its strength. KIA tried seriously to get the help of other countries for their plan.
21. In 1967 July, the political incharge of KIA brigade 2 Mabransain and his fellows 34 went the neighbouring country and attended the military and political courses and they also tried to get weapon supporting. They got 42 rifles, 36 bombs and 2 boxes of bullets and got back in September.
22. After that, commander of brigade 2 Zaw Too and his parties left for the foreign countries in October 2, 1967. He was accompanied by the secretary Pon Shwe Zaw Hsaing and Bransaing. There were altogether 425 men. This party tried to get the help in weapon, political and military.
23. Zaw Too and CPB agreed to fight the Government. Zaw Too and his party got 800 rifles, 170,000 bullets and equipments. KIA decided to participate with PCB to be able to fight against the government.
24. In 1968, January 27, Zaw Too and his parties came back with automatic machine guns and weapons. After that they equipped the weapons to the Mai Ron Con Jar and Con Sar Bout Naws' fighting group. For that they could fight the government forces with the supporting of foreign countries.
25. Zaw Too organized the local people by propagading the Communist policy and doctrine of Maw Si Tone. However, the local people did not believe in that ideology, so as in the members of KIA. The minorities of Maru, Lisue and Lachate did not satisfy with the policy of appoiting only JeanFaw ethnic as leaders. Moreover, followers did not satisfy with the governing of the Zaw Hsaing, Zaw Dan and Zaw Too.
26. In 1968 March, Zelwan(Maru) and Sakhon Teinyein(Lachate) seceded from KIA and their parties about 120 went the neighboring country and cooperate with the PCB. Based on that cooperation, Burma Communist Party could base in Kachin State, Chee Bwe, Law khaung and Sawlt Law since 1968.
KIA in 1971 to 1972[edit]
27. KIA got the help from other they had much conflict often with CPB. KIA took Contact the Tatmadaw by the increasing of PCB in Kotkhaing. They only fought the PCB. In 1969, Zaw Dan and his parties fought the Kachin (4). KIA from Northern Shan state took part negotiation with PCB regiment (202) and (303). Since 1970 KIA brigade (2) regiment (5) and (6) were controlled by Zaw Too and smuggled jade to Thailand from Kar Mine and Pha kant. Then they bought the weapons from Thailand. China also supported the weapons and trained the Phiso Naga from India. They also kept the weapons from Naga and send back them. There was a relationship with Pakistan and it cut out when the Bangladeshi appeared. Chief of the brigade (1) Zaw Dan equipped the weapons and trained the Rakhine insurgents. He also negotiated the authorized person from Thailand and his headquarters was opened in Thailand.

Contact and Conflict between insurgents
30. CPB and KIA: Since 1950, some CPB went abroad and got their political and military assistance. KIA tried to get the assistance from border countries every time. Because of foreign students' revolution, foreign nations made an agreement to support ammunition, political and military training. In 1967 July, the leader Mayanbaransai and front group 34 persons went abroad. After the meeting with foreign nations' authority at one town, KIA agreed to accept communism and foreign nations agreed to pay political and military assistance. After that, KIA 425 persons group that was led by Zaw tu, Zaw Dan, Lamontujai, Mayanbayansai, Ponshwe Zawsai went to foreign nations from 4th Nov, 1967 to 27th Jan, 1968 and discussed with Ba Thein Tin and Naw Sai at one town. From that time on KIA got the political and military assistance from abroad and conducted more military struggle.
31. Since the end of 1976, KIA established (9) regiment and 1750 personnel increased in Kachin State, and 500 persons in Northern Shan State. At the same time, they got ammunition from Zaw Sai who was based in Htanwoe, Thailand. In 1968, They grouped as special combat troops and fought Myitkyina area and occupied the camp of Kowapan (NY- 2044 ), Duyitgar (NY- 0466), Tingarukaung (NY-8504). In 1968, opened regiment (10) led by Zaw Diang.
32. Although Zaw Too accepted communism and foreign nation's idea, subordinate and public disliked communism. As the original organization of KIA based on narrow racial and religious belief, it was opposite with communism. Although KIA and CPB accepted together foreign type communism, in 1968, January, CPB Naw Sai entered Monekoe (S-2499) as paralled in economically. In 1968 March, from KIA regiment (4), group one leader Maru Zay Lwan and, group (5) leader Zakonteinyein and follower 120 seceded from KIA and sheltered to foreign nation. Zay Lwan and Zakonteinyein groups cooperated to CPB as CPB regiment (10), which created KIA anger to CPB.
33. CPB asked Kachin Captain Naw Sai to lead KIA and Kachin native in organizing easily. But the conflict between KIA and CPB became stronger. In 1968, 21 April, the meeting at KIA brigade (2) headquarters regarded CPB of Na Sai forces as the first enemy and started fighting in June. And also Zaw Tu abandoned the communism. Although KIA was fighting to CPB, they contacted with foreign nations to get ammunition and assistance. In 1969, they sent India Fiso Narga insurgents to foreign nation to attend the training. After that they got ammunition from Narga in the care of foreign nations. They recruited 13 years old boys and girls forcefully.
34. Battalion 1, 2, 5, 8, 9 were grouped under KIA Brigade (1) and also battalion 3, 4, 6, 7 were grouped under brigade (2). As regarded CPB as a first, KIA avoided Tatmadaw and fought CPB. They took contact the Tatmadaw and tried to build mutual understanding.
35. Zay Lwan and Sakhonteinyein were seceded from KIA after coming back from foreign training. Then they formed Bakapa battalion (101). Zay Lwan and 200 persons group entered Khantan valley road (SD-9510), in 1969, 19 May, Kanpaiktee (SD-9517) in 20 May, in 1969, 27 May Sakhonteinyein and 200 persons group fought Tanlon (NZ-3969) police station and entered local area. After that, they met KIA in Chiphwe, Lawkhaung, Sawlaw region in eastern Maykha. The leader Zaw Diang and brigade (1) got agreement with Tatmadaw in Kutkhaing region. In 1969 the first week of February, ambushed Kachin (4) convoy. At the same time, they got understanding with CPB brigade (202, 303) and got ceasefire again.
36. In 1969, July KIO committee meeting decided the master political plan for Wanpaung country Independent group. In the way of KIA: made clearance of the independence group of Wanpaung's political belief and objectives, the main points, the enemy to fight, which was nation, which was enemy, the basic of Wanpaung development, attitude and foreign affairs.
37. KIA group led by Zaw Tu recruited the new personnel from basic areas and trained as Village Defence Forces (VDF) and Local Gorilla Forces (LGF) or commando forces together. They forced the heads of the villages to attend the training courses. Although Mayanbaransai went abroad and reported the position of CPB, foreign authority forced to enter only to CPB. In 1970, they agreed to send KIA 220 and Bakapa 150 from Kathar district to foreign nation's training.
38. In May 1970, KIA set up weapon and ammunition to Rakhaing youth led by Tun Shwe Maung and they attempted to make co-operation in Kachin, Naga, Mizo and Rakhine insurgents. By that time, they also requested East Pakistan (later Bangladesh) for military assistance.
39. Although Burma Communist Party and Kachin Independence Army (KIA) took an agreement and ceasefire, CPB entered into Mone Paw to Southern KIA secretly so both KIA and CPB fought and killed each other. As KIA depended upon the aid of foreign CPB, they could not revolve PCB at all. KIA lost in peace with CPB though they tried to make peace with CPB. That was why, KIA communicated and offered again to Tatmataw. KIA prepared to negotiate with the Government. At that time, KIA recognised the Government as the Common Enemy because La Mohne Too Jaih and CPB leaders negotiated in Mone Pawh and got some agreement. Since KIA could neither give up Foreign Supports nor accept CPB, they often changed and treated between Tatmataw and CPB by Military Affairs.
40. In December 1971, KIA aimed to raise the military affairs and grouped Battalion (11) to four column and tried to fight the Tatmadaw. The Columns were: battalion 5, 6, 12 that was leopard column in western part of Ayeyarwaddy river, led by Zaw Tu. Battalion 1, 2, 8, 9 as Elephant Column that was led by Zaw Dan in Kwutkhaing. In eastern part of Ayeyarwaddy, Lion Column with battalion (3) and (10) was led by Khanhtwe. At Putao region Rhinoceros Column with battalion (4) and (7) were led by Zawein. Although CPB and KIA got agreement, they fought again in 1972. CPB penetrated KIA regions. KIA contacted Tatmadaw and sent delegation. At the same time, they often stopped fighting and discussed in the north of Shan State while fighting with CPB. They still tried to communicate with the right wing group in order to get the help through Thailand. Taking understanding with the Tatmadaw was the temporary escape from jamming situation between two military sides.
41. KIA recognized CPB as common enemy. To fight together with the Tatmadaw, they ask for help with arm, ammunition and medical supplies. On 10 June 1972, the Army stopped fighting so they organized the youths and in the place where tribute was not collected, they collected the tribute regarding as debt including with the years that was not collected. Besides, they broke the rules and giving reason to prevent CPB, they made military activities. Since 1972, they begun to persuade Palaung Battalion (2), and put it under No (1) Brigade of Zaw Dan.
42. KIA central committee meeting was held in Samarbon (SD-6076). During the ceasefire, they increasingly made collection of tribute. On 29 August 1972, they held the central committee meeting in Battalion (6), Hukaung Valley. Before the end of KIA central committee meeting, the Tatmadaw rejected the meeting on 3 October 1972. On 27 October, KIA central committee meeting ended, and they decided and increasingly formed with four armies instead of two armies.
(a) Brigade (1) commanded by Too Jaing northern Kachin State.
(b) Brigade (2) commanded by Zaw Too western Kachin State.
(c) Brigade (3) commanded by Zaw Mai eastern Kachin State.

48. Really, Kachin insurgents were systematically organized as fighting forces, administrative organization and organization group. However, leadership was under the influence of Zaw brothers, Zaw Sai, Zaw Too and Zaw Dan. Zaw Sai was the first leader of Kachin insurgents who lived only in Thailand. The second leader, Zaw Too, controlled and commanded KIA who lived in the State. Front Line Military Headquarter (FGHQ) was based in Magyi Bon Region, Kaut Lun village and Military Headquarters situated (NY 6173).
49. Although there are three organizations, KIA (or) fighting Force, Administrative Group and Organization Group in Kachin insurgents which controlled by Kachin Independent Council, KIC, fighting Force was popular. Therefore, all Kachin insurgents were generally called as "KIA". Between the Army and CPB, according to the favourable condition of military while KIA approached and increased the forces with the help of other country, CPB encountered the conflicts dealt with KIA.
50. The attitude of CPB upon the KIA is not to be an equal role friendship but they intended only to persuade into their party after exploiting as their subordinate organization. CPB appointed Naw Sai as a military incharge in order to take a leadership by means of nationalism. Because of Naw Sai's argument about fighting with KIA,
Burma Communist Party are not satisfied with him. So they arrested and killed Naw Sai and a Wa national leader secretly on 8 March 1972 and made false notification that Naw Sai died by falling into the gully in the wood. When KIA knew how Naw Sai was killed, the situation between them became worse and fighting started.
51. KIA and Naga Insurgency: KIA communicated with neighbouring countries and all insurgent groups for their own benefit. They tried to organize small insurgent groups. They acted as a buffer between Phizo Naga and Mizo insurgents and foreign countries. They sent Phizo Naga to foreign countries via Myanmar. They got some arms and ammunition in return.
52. They sent a Mizo insurgent group to foreign country in March, 1973. They signed a contract with local Naga insurgents in 2 June 1973. This contract made an agreement on supply of military training and arms by KIA and dividing and distribution of Naga region according to historical tradition. The movement jointly undertaken by KIA and local and Naga insurgents increased in Nant Yun Township at the border of India-Myanmar and KIA gave training course to 100 Naga insurgents at India-Myanmar border, south-west of NS 4257 Khar Shay.
53. KIA and Shan Insurgents: KIA headquarter led by Zaw Sai was situated in Htan Woe in Thailand. So KIA had to go Thailand via Shan State. KIA had to communicate with Shan insurgents.
54. In Shan State, there were different Shan insurgent groups including Pa laung and Pao. SURA (a) Moe Hein group settled their headquarters in Pain Lon in foreign country. Moe Hein group often did battle with SSA, another Shan insurgent group. KIA combined with SURA to get safety in travelling to foreign country and to fight (or) combine with Tatmadaw.
55. FNF (a) Pa Laung National league led by Kham Taung organized Shwe Pa Laung and Ngwe Pa Laung nationals in Mone Wee and Nant San and Mong Ngue regions and Pa Laung insurgents fell under the leadership of No. 3 Military Division of Zaw Dan in 1972. KIA made cooperation with Pa Laung nationals to face with Burma Communist Party and SSA.
56. SSA made settlement in Thailand and made movements in Lwe Khay in Shan State (North). SSA headquarters was led by Chairman Khun Kyar Nu and secretary Set Say Wai and in Lwe Khay region, it was led by Vice-chairman Ohn Paung Pon Taing and Chief-of-Staff Sai Hla Aung. In March 1973, they removed Maha Daewi Nann Hein Kham from the post of president. On 24 May 1973, SSA signed together with Koe Kant insurgent groups Law Sit Han, Maha Sann from Bain Nginn group, Lai U from Man Man Sai group in Man Pa Laung Lwe Khay region.
57. Three representatives led by Sa Kaw Lae Taw from KNU arrived at the headquarters of SSPP in Man Shee, Man Naung region in July, 1973 and asked for assistance for travelling to Burma Communist Party headquarters in Pan Sann. As SSPP had a plan to cooperate with Burma Communist Party, they chose a representative to follow with Sa Kaw Lae Taw. 200 members led by joint secretary Say Htin and 3 representatives left for Pan Sann and arrived there in October, 1973. On 18 November 1973, Burma Communist Party and SSA made an agreement on military cooperation. They took arm and ammunition and left Pan Sann on 27 November and arrived in Mong Bon region on 17 April 1974.
58. Cooperation of Burma Communist Party with SSA made KIA fight with SSA. In 1974, KIA made battle with SSA in Kyauk Mae, Nan Ma Tu region. But in April 1974, they made agreement for area.
59. After breaking up of Koe Kant insurgent group by Thai Government, 20 remnants took refuge at the border of Thailand. KIA organized these remnants.
60. 300 personnel led by Kyan Suu Shin from Lwe Maw insurgent group (Khun Sar group) made movements together with KIA battalion (8). KIA and Lwe Maw group made agreement on giving assistances to each other when necessary.
61. Chinese Military Division (3) and (5) settled in Northern Thailand often made movements in Myanmar. They were fought by Military columns and Burma Communist Party. So they could make movement in Lwe Say, Man Palaung, Man Kyaung, Sut Yet and Wun Sinn regions. KIA got agreement with Kuminton.
62. KIA fought with Burma Communist Party for the death of Naw Sai. They cooperated with SURA (Moe Hein), Koe Kant insurgent (Law Sit Han), Lwe Maw insurgent (Khun Sar) and Pa Laung national league but they did not get good cooperation with SSA, supporter of Burma Communist Party. In western region KIA gave support to local and Naga insurgents and Rakhine insurgents.
63. KIA and Phizo, Leader of Naga National Council (NNC): In-order to avoid Indian Army, Government of India, and Government of Burma's arrest, Phizo Naga took refuge in Naga mountain region in Khann Tee Division since 1963. KIA gave assistance's to Phizo Naga to travel to foreign countries through the land of Kachins in present Myanmar.
The origin of Naga Struggle is traced back to the founding of the Naga Club, in Kohima in 1918. They submitted a memorandum to the Simon Commission to exclude the Nagas from any constitutional framework of India. With the coming of Angami Zapu Phizo, popularly called as Phizo, the Naga Movement gained momentum in the late 1940s.
The NNC under Phizo's leadership declared Independence of Nagaland on the 14th of August 1947. It was greeted with great euphoria which echoed all over the Naga hills. Phizo was arrested in 1948 by the Indian Government on charges of rebellion. On his release, Phizo was made the President of the NNC in 1950.
In 1953, a meeting was organized between the Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and the Burmese Prime Minister U Nu, to decide on borders between India and Burma. The separatist leaders termed the meeting as the process of dividing Naga territory between the two countries. Nehru and U Nu visited the Naga areas in India and Burma. On 30 March 1953, when they visited Kohima, the deputy commissioner of the district disallowed the NNC delegation from meeting Nehru, apparently without Nehru's knowledge. Consequently, Nehru's public meeting was boycotted by NNC and its sympathizers.
Currently, the Nagas inhibit in the state of Nagaland, Manipur, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh in the present North-Eastern State of India and in Myanmar's Sagaing Division and Kachin State. In Myanmar, the Naga territory in Myanmar is marked by Kabo valley in the south bordering to the Chin state, the Kachin on the north and the Burmese on the east. The townships which are populated by the Nagas are: 1. Homalin 2. Lahe with Tanbakwe sub-township 3. Layshi with Mowailut sub-township and Somra sub-township 4. Khamti 5. Khanpat 6. Namyun with Pangsau sub-township 7. Tamu of Sagaing Division and 8. Tanai of Kachin state
Assassination of KIA leaders[edit]
64. KIA fought with Burma Communist Party. They attempted to make discussion with Tatmadaw in October, 1972. But, because of their dishonesty, their discussion was not successful. Then KIA held the Central Committee Meeting from 29 August to 27 October 1972 and KIC, Kachin Subordinate Formation and KIO were systematically reformed.
65. KIA included four Brigades, made up of 11 regiments. Administrative Board and KIO were also formed in villages, townships, districts and divisions. Commander-in-Chief Zaw Sai administered Htam-Poe Camp, Thai and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zaw Tu took responsibility internally. When Zaw Tu went to Thai in December 1973, La Mon Hu Gyaing took his place. When KIA faced with the attacks of CPB and Tatmadaw in 1973 and 1974, Zaw Sai and Zaw Tu neither came back nor led the action.
CPB gradually defeated KIA areas.
66. Zaw Sai had been in Thai since 1965 and Zaw Tu, left for Thai in December 1973. They arrived there in February 1974. At that moment, KIA basic areas in Northern Shan State were gradually lost and CPB Regiment (101) was penetrating into Sa-Done in East May-Kha. On 1 March 1975, at the battle of KIA and CPB, Zaw Dan, Combat team (4), KIA was killed in action. CPB Regiment (202) attacked KIA Combat Team (4) area and CPB Regiment (2) penetrated KIA Regiment (2) area in East Kut-Khaing through Man-Yon-Maw. Zaw Mai succeeded Zaw Dan and prevented and confronted CPB in Nant-Hai and Nant-Saung-Kye. At that time Zaw Sai and Zaw Tu were in Thai. On 2 February 1975, KIA leader Pon-Shwe Zaw Sai and his team left for Thai. The subordinates were not satisfied with the situation. When offensive actions took place, there were disagreements among KIA leaders. Zaw Sai, Zaw Tu and Pon-Shwe Zaw Sai misused the money gotten from trading of opium and jade.
67. Although Zaw Sai was a leader, he could not lead KIA for a long time. His leadership became powerless because he was out of contact with KIA for about 10 years.
Zaw Tu faced with disapproval of the subordinates. After he had prohibited marriage, he was married with Law-Khaing-Lu-On in 1966 and with Lu-Sai, the second wife in 1973. Social affairs of the leaders made their subordinates disrespectable. They also misused over 10 million.
68. Former KIA Regiment (11), Commanding officer Sai Tu assassinated Zaw Sai, Zaw Tu and Pon-shwe Zaw Sai in Htan-Poe, Thai Border Camp, on 10 August 1975, facing difficulties in political and military affairs. KIA headquarter explained to District and Division Committees that the leaders were assassinated because they manipulated the organization. Gaw-Lu-La-Dwe and the other leaders reported that Sai Tu was a spy and so he killed the leaders intentionally. Thai police arrested Sai Tu on 29 September 1975. Zaw Lmai sent major Khun Cho, commanding Officer of Regiment (8), to Thai to investigate that case. Although it was clear that Sai Tu killed the leaders, no reasons were given for the assassination.
69. Zaw Mai, leading Combat team (4), confronted CPB for ten times since 1 November 1975 and both sides damaged seriously. Zaw Mai took Kyaung-Nat operation, focused on CPB (202) since 26 March 1975. La-Mon-Tu-Gyaing, Chief of Combat team (1) became KIA Commander-in-Chief and Chief of Combat Team (4)
Zaw Mai became Deputy Commander-in-Chief.
70. There were leftist CPB and rightist who wanted to rely on the west among Kachin rebellions. When the leaders fell, Ma-Ran-baran-Sai's leftist group was stronger.
Therefore there was a chance to cooperate with CPB and difficulties of KIA were also a reason for that cooperation. KIA was urged to be provided through CPB.
Although Thai was the right place for economic affairs, it was a long distance and it has to pass CPB areas to carry weapons to Kachin state. It was easier for trading of opium and jade from Kachin with weapons from Thai if KIA contacted with CPB. In 1976, Ma-Ran-Baran-Sai became the leader and decided to ally with CPB and it was the reunion of CPB and KIA.

Zynga Jumps as Games Win Facebook Popularity
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Zynga (ZNGA - Get Report), best known for the popular Facebook (FB - Get Report) game FarmVille, was gaining Friday on better-than-expected third-quarter results that reflected growth from its widening portfolio even as the company operates in the red. Shares were rising 13% to $3.99 in mid-day trading.
For the three-month period ended Sept. 30, the social-gaming company reported a third-quarter loss of 2 cents a share, beating Thomson Reuters estimates by 2 cents. Revenue totaled $152.1 million, 41% lower than the same period a year earlier but beating estimates by $9.4 million.
The San Francisco-based company continues to show growth after announcing it would refocus operations on core franchises. By the end of the quarter, Zynga had 3 of the top 10 games on Facebook based on daily average users.
"Our teams are working hard to compete more aggressively on the web, move to mobile and develop new hits," said CEO Don Mattrick in a statement. "We believe our top franchises -- Zynga Poker, FarmVille and Words With Friends -- can be evergreen in terms of consumer interest and we are focused on growing these franchises in fiscal year 2014."
Come the New Year, this will remain a challenge as engaged-users is expected to fall. DAUs dropped to 30 million, down 49% on the year-ago quarter and 23% quarter-by-quarter. Monthly active users (MAUs) were 57% lower to 133 million on a year-on-year basis, and down 29% since the second quarter 2013. Costs were kept in check, however, as the company completed restructuring efforts. Lay-offs affected 520 positions or 18% of total global workforce during the quarter. "We are dedicated to improving employee efficiency by leveraging smaller, more focused teams on new intellectual property and redeploying talent through our largest franchises," explained CFO Mark Vranesh in a conference call. The company also announced it had hired Clive Downie, former executive of mobile gaming company DeNA Co, as its new chief operating officer in a play to expand mobile reach. For the fourth-quarter, the company forecasts revenue between $175 million and $185 million, and earnings loss between 5 and 4 cents, below Yahoo! Finance estimates of a 3-cent loss. TheStreet Ratings team rates Zynga Inc as a Sell with a ratings score of D. The team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate Zynga Inc (ZNGA) a SELL. This is driven by a number of negative factors, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. Among the areas we feel are negative, one of the most important has been weak operating cash flow."- You can view the full analysis from the report here: ZNGA Ratings Report

CPTV to Broadcast "Ethan Bortnick Live in Concert: The Power of Music"
Tune in Saturday, May 17 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, May 31 at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday, June 1 at 3:30 p.m.
Connecticut Public Television (CPTV) will air a captivating new music special entitled Ethan Bortnick Live in Concert: The Power of Music, featuring the amazing 12-year-old composer, pianist, and entertainer Ethan Bortnick, accompanied by a 50-piece orchestra, 4-piece band, and the 120-member Kids Choir, in a program that had the live audience dancing in the aisles! The show is scheduled to air on Saturday, May 17 at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, May 31 at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday, June 1 at 3:30 p.m.
Ethan performs with passion and heart – his fingers fly across the piano keys in "Minute Waltz," and the audience rocks out to "Rock Around the Clock," claps to the beat of "Lean On Me," and participates in a very enthusiastic sing-along of "Crocodile Rock." He's joined by special guests Damian McGinty of Glee and Celtic Thunder and Grammy-nominated vocalist Jane Monheit, who add even more color to the musical rainbow on stage. Plus, viewers will feel the power of music when Ethan performs an emotional and inspiring rendition of "We Are the World."
Beyond his gifts as a consummate musician, Ethan Bortnick is a driven humanitarian, too. This moving special highlights his belief that music has a higher purpose – an ability to emotionally connect people, encourage them to help others, and ultimately, affect change in the world, as presented in his own eloquent composition "Anything is Possible." Through his music, Ethan has already helped raise more than $30 million for children's charities and other causes across the world including over 50 Jewish organizations, with fundraising concerts.
Ethan Bortnick is the youngest performer ever to headline his own international concert tour, and he has so far appeared in more than 200 concerts in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Japan, South Africa and Australia. This special showcases his amazing talent, passion for music, and generous spirit…all at the ripe old age of 12!

Hu Chen-pu Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison in Corruption Case
2011/10/03 Browse:385
Source: All Taipei Newspapers
Oct. 3, 2011
Former Veterans Affairs Commission minister Hu Chen-pu (胡鎮埔) was given a 10-year sentence by the court of first instance. Hu Chen-pu said last Friday that it was a political ruling, which "obviously intended to discourage me from participating in the up-coming legislative election." Hu stated that he would not withdraw from the election, and that he would definitely appeal the verdict.
Former Executive Yuan Secretary-general Chen Chin-jun (陳景峻) allegedly instructed commission officials Chen Chin-jun (陳景峻) and Cha Tai-chen (查台傳) to raise funds illegally in 2007 and then gave the money to four legislative candidates from various political parties. The Taipei District Court ruled last Friday that Chen Chin-jun (陳景峻) was sentenced to seven years and 10 months in prison for corruption , and the court also deprived Chen of his political rights for three years. Hu was sentenced to 10 years in prison for corruption and violating the Securities and Exchange Act, and was also deprived of his political rights for three years. The court also sentenced former commission secretary--general Cha Tai-chen (查台傳) to seven years and six months in prison and suspended his political rights for three years.
Hu stated that it was a routine practice for the Veterans Affairs Commission to raise funds from the heads of affiliated business units for the benefit of some legislators during elections, adding that he may have violated the principle of political neutrality, but had not committed fraud. He said he was not the actual fundraiser, so he did not direct or approve fund-raising activities, adding that he was unable to accept the court's ruling.
Hu Chen-pu had been director in the Defense Ministry's Political Warfare Department, army commander, and a Veterans Affairs Commission minister. Hu announced on September 3 that he would run in the 2012 legislative elections, representing the 6th district of Taoyuan County, as an independent candidate.

House thanks Lieder, other World War II vets
ST. PAUL - Rep. Bernie Lieder is a member of the "Greatest Generation," but he never would use such a term about himself.
So it was with reluctance that he accepted recognition Thursday when the Minnesota House honored the Crookston Democrat and his fellow World War II veterans.
"I'm only one of the whole group, and I hate to be singled out," said Lieder, who told fellow lawmakers he appreciated that the veterans were acknowledged.

Google is surely the best at anything they do. The web world is ruled by Google. It's surely the most innovative developing company ever. The Android OS is surely one of the best things that they have ever designed.
It has revolutionized the world of smart phones. If you have a Gmail account then you can enjoy the OS better with your Google id and get access to features like video chat on android. You can even open Gmail accounts as many as you want on your phone.
The total Google service is entirely free so you can have as many accounts as you need. Google allows you to use all their services with one Google id but it's always better to have different ids for different services like Gmail, YouTube and Orkut.
The Android phone you use is capable to open Gmail accounts any number of times. It is a great feature that will help you for sure. Let me tell you how to use multiple Gmail accounts on your phone.
Opening New Google/ Gmail Account Using Android
1. Go to Android Marketplace from your phone. Find the latest version of Gmail from there as you need it to have multiple accounts. Install Gmail in your Android phone from there and go to the next step.
2. To open a new Gmail account, which is new, on your phone, tap the Menu key and then select Settings option.
3. You will find a list of actions that you can perform from there. Choose Account & Sync option from that given list.
4. You will find many options here including the account management options. You will see the Gmail id here which is associated with that Android phone. Select the Add Account button.
5. You will find different apps to open an account for. Select the Google icon to open Gmail account and click Next button.
If you want to open Gmail account in the Android phone, then select the Create button from the options that you have in the menu.
6. Enter the new Gmail id with password that you want to add in this phone and select Sign In button.
Your Android phone will communicate with the server and you will receive a confirmation option on the phone. Select Finish Setup button and the account will be added.
You can also refer to this video tutorial to get some idea on the Google account creation process on the android phone.

By The Numbers: Falcons at Bills
The Falcons traveled north of the border to face the Bills in Toronto Sunday afternoon in a back-and-forth thriller that ended in overtime on a 36-yard game-winning Matt Bryant field goal. Let's dive in to a few of the numbers behind the narrative in the Falcons' 34-31 victory.
Minus-5 - Total yards for the Falcons on their first two offensive series. Matt Ryan was sacked twice as Atlanta ran six plays en route to two straight three-and-outs. By contrast, Buffalo scored touchdowns on their first two offensive possessions on scoring drives of 85 and 63 yards.
.706 - Falcons winning percentage in 4 pm games under Head Coach Mike Smith. With the win over Buffalo, Atlanta has won 12 of 17 games played in the 4 pm time slot over the past six seasons.
1 - Teams with a League-worst 2-10 record after week 13. Atlanta, Houston and Jacksonville entered week 13 with 2-9 records, but Jacksonville edged Cleveland, while Atlanta knocked off Buffalo in overtime. The Houston Texans kept it interesting at home against the Patriots but lost a franchise-record tenth straight game, 34-31, on a late New England rally.
2 - Fumbles forced by the Falcons in the Bills' final two offensive series of the game. Buffalo appeared poised to stage a last second victory as Bills QB E.J. Manuel hit WR Stevie Johnson for a completion across the Falcons' 35-yard line with 40 seconds left in regulation, but Robert McClain stripped Johnson of the football, and William Moore recovered at the Atlanta 28-yard line. In overtime, Buffalo won the toss and began the extra session's first drive at their own 20, but two plays later William Moore stripped Bills' tight end Scott Chandler at the Buffalo 45-yard line after a 22-yard completion. Robert Alford picked up the loose ball at the Atlanta 40, retreated five yards then lateraled to fellow rookie Desmond Trufant, who advanced the ball to the Bills' 47-yard line. While the Falcons remain minus-11 overall in turnover margin this year, the two late fumble recoveries were crucial to their win over the Bills. The Falcons only turned the ball over once, a third-quarter Matt Ryan fumble recovered by Buffalo on the Atlanta 21-yard line, leading to a Buffalo touchdown one play later.
3 - Rushing touchdowns in the game for the Falcons, a season-high. Entering the game, the Falcons had only rushed for 5 touchdowns throughout the entire season.
6 - Sacks in the game for the Bills, the most surrendered by the Falcons offensive line in a game this season. Falcons QBs have now been sacked 30 times in 2013, with four games remaining. In 2012, the Falcons offensive line allowed 28 total sacks all season.
9 - Games since the Falcons have held an opponent to under 100 rushing yards. Atlanta's defense began the season very stout against the run, limiting opposing offenses to 78 (at NO), 69 (vs. STL) and 90 yards (at MIA) in their first three games. Since then, the Falcons have given up an average of 154 yards on the ground per game. Against the Bills in Toronto Sunday, the Falcons surrendered 195 yards on the ground.
10 - Catches for Roddy White Sunday against the Bills, for 143 yards receiving, the 36th 100-yard receiving game of White's 9-year career.
14 - Number of passes defensed by rookie CB Desmond Trufant this season, the most by a rookie in Falcons franchise history.
15 - Consecutive 60-plus catch seasons for tight end Tony Gonzalez, who caught 4 passes for 42 yards and hauled in his 108th career touchdown pass in the third quarter to give the Falcons a 24-17 lead.
51 - Yards above their season-average rushing yards per game the Falcons amassed against the Bills. Atlanta rushed for 151 yards and scored three rushing touchdowns in the game.
12 - Minutes remaining on the clock in the second quarter when Buffalo went over 100 yards rushing on the day. Bolstered by C.J. Spiller runs of 77 and 36 yards, Buffalo finished with 195 yards rushing on the day, their third highest total of the season.
60 - Passing yards surrendered by the Falcons defense in the first half. Atlanta's defense finished the game allowing only 210 yards through the air, their third best performance of the season.
100 - Falcons winning percentage on international soil (including pre-season games). The Falcons have played games outside the United States on three occasions: in the 2000 American Bowl in Tokyo (defeated Dallas, 20-9), the 2005 American Bowl in Tokyo (defeated Indianapolis, 27-21) and Sunday's regular-season victory over the Bills.

A Central London breast surgeon offering the full range of modern reconstructive and cosmetic procedures, including reconstruction using implants and tissue flaps, nipple reconstruction, breast augmentation, breast reduction and mastoplexy.
Recently ranked number one breast expert in London and among the top 25 breast cancer experts worldwide by the American website Expertscape, Professor Mokbel is a highly skilled reconstructive and cosmetic breast surgeon specialising in the diagnosis and management of diseases of the breast, including breast cancer, benign breast conditions and gynaecomastia. He is regularly approached to comment on matters concerning breast cancer and breast surgery by the national and international press and media, and has featured in top doctor guides produced by Tatler magazine and The Times magazine.
The mainstay of breast cancer treatment is surgery to remove the affected area of breast tissue. Depending on the size and nature of the tumour, this may be just a section of breast tissue (lumpectomy or wide local excision) or all of the breast tissue, usually together with the overlying skin and nipple (mastectomy). The lymph nodes in the armpit may also be removed.
Women undergoing lumpectomy do not usually need reconstructive surgery. In cases where it is necessary to remove a quarter of the breast tissue (quadrantectomy), the resulting dent can sometimes be filled in using a flap of tissue from the back or, for women with larger breasts, a breast reduction procedure may be possible to reshape both the affected breast and the unaffected breast.
Modern reconstructive techniques can now produce good cosmetic outcomes for women who have undergone mastectomy. Reconstruction can take place immediately following surgery (immediate reconstruction) or at a later date (delayed reconstruction) and is tailored to the individual. A number of separate steps may be involved to achieve the final cosmetic result. The three main types of reconstruction are:
A highly experience reconstructive breast surgeon, Professor Mokbel always puts the patient at the heart of the decision-making process to find the procedure that best suits her individual needs and wishes. At consultation, he is happy to provide photographs of patients who have already undergone similar procedures and, if required, can arrange a meeting with a patient who has had reconstructive breast surgery.
There are a number of reasons why women seek cosmetic breast surgery, including breasts that are too big, pendulous or heavy, breasts that are too small, breasts that are of unequal size and breasts that have lost shape, contour or size as a result of breast feeding or ageing. Such issues can lead to problems with confidence and self-esteem, as well as, in the case of overly large breasts, neck and back pain.
Professor Mokbel offers the full range of cosmetic breast procedures, including breast enlargement (augmentation), breast reduction and breast uplift (mastoplexy). Also providing a specialist second opinion service, he is a recognised expert and advisor in cases of clinical negligence involving breast surgery.

"Yes," Velasco replied. "He mentioned something like he was blackmailing somebody else."
"Did you hear any names?"
"He managed to say something about a falcon, but I did not know to whom he was referring."
Rosenbaum pointed out that the conversation took place eight years earlier. Was he sure he overheard the name Falcon? Velasco said he was.
"How many times did [Cadena] mention the name Falcon?" Rosenbaum asked.
"One time."
"You never heard the name before?"
Adding murder to the RICO charges that might be brought against Falcon and Magluta represents an enormous gamble for prosecutors. They risk committing the same mistake they made in the first Falcon and Magluta trial: relying on revulsive government informants. In this case, though, it may be an even bigger problem. In the 1996 trial, prosecutors used convicted drug dealers; this time they will be basing part of their case on the testimony of admitted killers. Defense attorneys will have a field day destroying the credibility of Mattos, Cadena, Tuberquia, Correa, and especially Velasco.
Witnesses, however, aren't the only danger for prosecutors. The defense may present an alternate theory as to who would want to kill Acosta, a theory that could prove embarrassing to the U.S. government. Acosta's death may not have been the result of an effort to aid Falcon and Magluta, the attorneys could argue, but rather to protect Guillermo Endara, whom the U.S. government installed as president of Panama after invading that country in December 1989.
Acosta helped launder Falcon and Magluta's drug profits by establishing shell corporations in Panama in the early and mid-Eighties. Assisting him in setting up those business entities was Endara, who at the time was merely an attorney in Panama City. Endara even acted as treasurer for some of the companies.
The irony is evident: The United States invades Panama to remove Gen. Manuel Noriega because of his ties to the Colombian cartels, and replaces him with a man who helped launder the fortunes of two of the biggest drug smugglers in U.S. history.
Endara's ties to Falcon and Magluta were first made public in 1991, though he denied knowing that the corporations were created to launder drug money. He also claimed he had neither met nor spoken with Falcon and Magluta. "I never knew them," Endara told U.S. News & World Report in December of that year. "They never called our office."
In February 1992, however, Manuel Noriega's attorney, Frank Rubino, told New Times that Endara had in fact met with Falcon and Magluta in the early Eighties and was well aware they were drug traffickers.
Det. Ron Ilhardt also touched on the Endara connection in his depositions. During his first session, on May 20, 1997, Ilhardt told Bruce Fleisher, defense attorney for getaway driver Gregorio Tuberquia, that in the early stages of the murder investigation he had interviewed one of Acosta's ex-wives, who claimed to be well aware of her former spouse's involvement with Falcon and Magluta.
"She told me who the middleman was," Ilhardt said.
"Who was that?" Fleisher asked.
"Well, I'm not going to say because the middleman is a very, very high-ranking political figure," Ilhardt explained. "In fact, the president of another country. And it's my understanding that the U.S. government may be working a case."
"You mean against him right now?"
"Yeah, and it might be an ongoing investigation. So I don't think I should divulge any information I may have in that area."
During his second deposition a few months later, on August 13, 1997, Ilhardt, who had retired from the force in 1995, was even more candid. "The president of Panama that the U.S. government put in was [Acosta's] tight man," he offered. "He was one of the original money launderers for these dope dealers, setting up offshore corporations and hiding the money and purchasing all kinds of real estate and stuff under these offshore corporations."
If motive becomes an issue in deciding Falcon and Magluta's culpability in Acosta's death, their defense attorneys might well ask jurors to consider who had the most to gain by his death: Falcon and Magluta, who were already fugitives? Or Guillermo Endara, who was in line to become president of Panama and who wanted to keep secret his ties to a pair of notorious drug traffickers? Defense attorneys could even argue that the cartel ordered Acosta killed not to help Falcon and Magluta but to protect Endara.
If prosecutors learned anything from their decade-long pursuit of Willy Falcon and Sal Magluta, it's that during a trial, especially one in a Miami courtroom with a Miami jury, just about anything is possible.
Next week: Within days of losing the first Willy and Sal trial, prosecutors began investigating members of the jury, an investigation that culminated in the indictment of its foreman, Miguel Moya, on bribery charges. Prosecutors thought they had an airtight case, but this past month a jury failed to convict him. What went wrong

Twitter hires security expert Charlie Miller
The hire, which follows Moxie Marlinspike's move to Twitter last year, is evidence of how seriously Twitter is taking security these days.
Miller will be working with encryption expert Moxie Marlinspike, who was hired by Twitter last year.
"Monday I start on the security team at Twitter. Looking forward to working with a great team there!" Miller tweeted this morning.
Miller told CNET today that he can't talk about his new job until he gets settled in it.
After getting a Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Notre Dame, Miller worked for five years as a "global network exploitation analyst" for the National Security Agency. He then worked for a financial-services firm and at Independent Security Evaluators and Accuvant.
But it's his hacking and penetration testing skills that have earned him a reputation. Miller has highlighted numerous security flaws within Apple software over the years. One of his most high-profile discoveries was a vulnerability in the mobile version of Safari in 2007, shortly after the first iPhone was released. Additionally, he's been a fixture at the Pwn2Own security contest, in which people vie to gain control of Apple's Mac OS X computers through the built-in Safari Web browser.
More recently, Miller detailed that the low-level system software that ships on all of Apple's recent-model batteries could be hacked , letting would-be attackers theoretically disable the batteries given access to an administrator account. Miller got himself booted from participating in Apple's developer program last year after he released findings of a security hole in the iOS that let applications grab unsigned code from third-party servers that could be added to an app even after it has been approved and is live on Apple's App Store.
In July, Miller demonstrated a way to hijack an Android smartphone via the Near Field Communication (NFC) technology that's turned on by default on the device.

Hello Guys,
As per the title, is this a tricky task or quite simple?

A lawyer for Best Chevrolet, in a request to Yahoo Autos to take down this story, told us in an email that the audio was "misleadingly edited." Clark has said the dealership has threatened to sue him over the audio, but has also spoken with him about buying the Camaro back. The dealership may soon learn that in the Internet era, one burnt clutch can create quite the stink.

quote:The dealerships facebook profile is down. Now a bunch of people with the level of education of your typical Obama supporter are flaming the page for a "Best Chevrolet" in LA (since that's the one that pops up when you search on FB).

Ernst & Young Prevails in Fruit of the Loom Litigation
Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw LLP
16 December 2004 - Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw LLP partners Stanley Parzen and Bradley Andreozzi won an important victory for Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") when the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of all securities fraud claims against E&Y related to its 1998 audit of apparel manufacturer Fruit of the Loom.
Fidel v. Farley
, No. 02-6143 (6th Cir. Dec. 16, 2004). In the year after E&Y issued its unqualified 1998 audit opinion, Fruit of the Loom took some $220 million in inventory writeoffs and then filed for bankruptcy, but did not restate the 1998 financial statements. The same Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw team had represented E&Y before the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky in winning dismissals of the complaint and amended complaint.
In a unanimous opinion, the Sixth Circuit agreed that plaintiffs had failed to allege facts raising an inference that E&Y acted with scienter when issuing its 1998 audit opinion. The court rejected plaintiffs' contention that numerous "red flags" should have put E&Y on notice of alleged problems, finding that the complaint was bereft of facts showing that E&Y had failed to take those matters into account when planning its audit. The court also rejected plaintiffs' argument that scienter could be inferred from the magnitude of Fruit of the Loom's 1999 writeoffs and their closeness in time to the 1998 audit. The court held that Fruit of the Loom's 1999 reversals did not show that E&Y acted with scienter in issuing its 1998 audit opinion, rejecting plaintiffs' arguments to the contrary as "nothing more than hindsight" and "speculation." The court rejected as well plaintiffs' argument that E&Y's alleged consulting work for Fruit of the Loom raised an inference of scienter, noting that the complaint failed to allege particular facts showing what the consultants supposedly had learned that had a bearing on the 1998 audit. The court dismissed as well plaintiffs' attempt to infer scienter from the size of E&Y's auditing and consulting fees, noting that the argument was "mere speculation" in the absence of allegations showing that the relationship was unusually profitable and generated a significant portion of E&Y's revenue. Equally unavailing was plaintiffs' attempt to raise an inference of scienter from the fact that E&Y (like other auditing firms) has been sued in other cases; the court held that lawsuits regarding audits of other companies were not probative of whether E&Y acted knowingly or recklessly in preparing its audit report concerning Fruit of the Loom.
Finally, the Sixth Circuit rejected plaintiffs' attempt to hold E&Y liable for unaudited financial statements included in Fruit of the Loom's 1999 registration statement. Plaintiffs had argued that E&Y's consent to reprint its 1998 audit opinion in the 1999 registration statement "effectively represented" that E&Y approved of the unaudited statements that were separately listed in the registration statement. The Sixth Circuit agreed that because E&Y had issued no opinion on the unaudited materials, it could not be held liable for them, and that any other result would effectively revive "aiding and abetting" liability in contravention of the Supreme Court's
Central Bank
In separate litigation, Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw successfully represented E&Y before the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky and the Sixth Circuit in obtaining dismissal of all claims arising from E&Y's audit of Fruit of the Loom's 1996 financial statements. See
New England Health Care Employees Pension Fund v. Ernst & Young LLP

Cost of flooding on business unknown
PUBLISHED: 12 Jan 2011 10:44:57 | UPDATED: 13 Jan 2011 08:29:31PRINT EDITION: 12 Jan 2011
Businesses forced to close down or constrain their operations because of flooding in Queensland say the full cost won't be known until the disaster abates.
Crane hire and operator Boom Logistics said on Wednesday it had shut down two of its Queensland sites and evacuated staff as the flooding in the Sunshine State worsened.
At the same time, paint manufacturer DuluxGroup closed its manufacturing plant in Rocklea, south of Brisbane, and Pacific National railways operator, Asciano, said the rainfall would affect forecast revenue growth from its coal division.
Boom's Pinkbela and Eagle farm sites were closed in anticipation of worse flooding, although the company does not expect its equipment to be damaged.
"Due to the location of Boom's premises, and based on current weather guidance, it is not anticipated that equipment located on Boom's premises will be impacted, but management will continue to monitor this position closely," the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
"A Boom Sherrin depot is located in Toowoomba and, whilst this location is secure, the depot is closed while our people support the recovery effort in the region."
In its statement, Boom said it was unable to estimate the financial impact of the temporary closures, but said severe weather in December had constrained its earnings by around $1.2 million.
Meanwhile, DuluxGroup announced its main Australian paint manufacturing plant, at Rocklea, had been temporarily shut in light of the current flood conditions.
"At this stage, it is too early to say what, if any, impact this may have on ongoing operations," Dulux said in a statement.
"DuluxGroup has a number of mitigation strategies, including alternative manufacturing sources and using existing stock levels.
"We will keep the market updated as more information becomes available."
Earlier on Wednesday, Asciano said flooding was affecting coal rail network availability and has caused significant speed restrictions.
Asciano said it would not know the full implications until the weather and flooding subsides.
"The Blackwater coal system remains closed and the Goonyella coal system continues to operate well below capacity," Asciano said in a statement.
As well, NSW coal haulage volumes were being affected by chain congestion and restricted availability of coal.
Asciano said weather in the Gunnedah Basin and Ulan network would likely reduce average haul length in NSW during the 2010/11 financial year.
"Consequently, the forecasted growth in revenue for the Pacific National coal division will be impacted."
