A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
KIM's first single, "No Matter What They Say," grows on you because of the old-school "interpolations" and Puffy's trademark hypnotic rantings ("yeah, uh, don't stop, come on . . . "). Producer Darren "Limitless" Henson borrows the Latin guitar relish of Jose Feliciano's "Esto Es el Guaguanco"befittingly enough, an Afro-Cuban type of rumba celebrating the very sexual rivalry between the orishas Chango and Ochún, which theme gives her track a divine swing. And just in case you're not feeling it, Henson jacks the rhythm sections of rap standards that will surely reel you in: Special Ed's "I Got It Made," the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight," and Eric B. and Rakim's "I Know I Got Soul." And if you're still not feeling it, the accompanying video features Kim in a see-through body stocking and five-inch stilettos.
bell hooks was right when she wrote that, as with many Americans, the culture of greed validates and legitimizes Lil' Kim; so who cares if she'll ever know love, since the pursuit of money compensates for what she lacks emotionally? She's gone on record attributing her Michael Jackson-esque reinvention (painful breast implants, icy contacts, liposuction, rumored nose job, blond wigs, etc.) to a lifelong self-image problem and scores of manipulating men. And still, we cannot get past the paradox whom Vogue's André Leon Talley calls "the black Madonna" long enough to notice. Or give a fuck.
Four years after Hard Core, Kim is still less interested in love than in accumulating riches and cultivating a new, unrecognizable persona as a defense mechanism against herself. Unlike Kim's killer verse on Mobb Deep's "Quiet Storm," "Suck My D**k" lyrically contradicts the song's thematic role reversal. Kim rhymes, "Met this dude named Jaleel. . . . He said he'd pay me 10 grand just to belly dance/Cum all on his pants." Kim turns on Jaleel by placing her burner in his mouth when he doesn't pull out the cash, but not before he and his boy Julio play her out like a 'ho. Still, you can't help but love the song, mainly because you couldn't help but love B.I.G.'s "Me & My B***h." The lazy synthesized six-string guitar lick makes it prime for a freestyle session with DJ Cucumber Slice, just like it did back when B.I.G. released it the first time.
But the real ode to Kim's lover, creator, best friend, and pimp (don't front, we've all been there) is "Hold On," beautifully featuring Mary J. Blige mourning in the chorus. Over Willie Hutch's dejecting "Stormy Monday" melody, Kim reveals not the secrets of her affair with B.I.G. but a vulnerable strength by keeping the faith, as Jill Nelson would say. Mary drowns Kim's elegy, though, with the perfect way she agonizes. Mary J. Blige is the Jackie O. of hip-hop soul, and we unconditionally love her for itshe wins because, like Sade and Billie Holiday before her, her suffering is sincere and graceful. Kim, on the other hand, has come off as a one-dimensional nymph and sex toy from the very beginning. So again, nobody cares.
There's one catchy yet uncreative moment after another on Notorious KIM. The lilting title track featuring B.I.G. is unspectacular; the equally coochie-popping "How Many Licks" predictably features a curiously flamboyant Sisqó on chorus, not to mention Kim showcasing her "designer pussy." And Lil' Louis's house music moanfest "French Kiss" serves as the almost undoctored foundation for "Custom Made (Give It to You)." Throw in a slew of supa-dupa guestsGrace Jones, Carl Thomas, the Junior M.A.F.I.A.; Notorious KIM still wasn't worth the wait or the bootleg.
Debuting at No. 4 in Billboard's 200, Lil' Kim is halfway to her professed goal of being a pop superstar like Michael Jackson. Fine. But there isn't anything womanist or even sisterly going on in Notorious . . . just ditties dedicated to the love of ice, c.r.e.a.m., and the glamorous life, with hiccups of humanity. Without self-love, it ain't much. It ain't much.

Talk of the efficacy or otherwise of the surge is a smokescreen, says Simon Barrow. There is no long-term military solution to Iraq's nightmare. But viable alternatives are being sought within civil society.
There is a growing disconnect with the aspirations of people whose concerns are not adequately mapped by the narrow economic, political and social assumptions of the main political parties, says Simon Barrow. Are we moving into post-democracy?
In an era where a basic understanding of what Christianity is about cannot be taken for granted, Simon Barrow welcomes a new book by philosopher and theologian Keith Ward which clears some ground and opens up issues.
Sharing bread and wine is not just an odd church ritual, says Simon Barrow. It is an embodied symbol of a new world coming – one in which we need to be radically changed if we are going to be part of the solution not part of the problem.
Gordon Brown will be less overt in his faith agenda and less establishment in his church instincts, suggests Simon Barrow. But religion and public life will remain hot political issues.
Religiously constructed rows over sorcery, metaphor and meaning in Harry Potter are hardly new, as Simon Barrow has personal reason to know. He suggests we all chill out and finding meaning not menace in the narrative.
At the root of death-dealing religion and ideology is fear, says Simon Barrow. The biggest challenge we face today is how to challenge cultures of death from within, replacing the logic of the sword with an invitation to life.
An easy assumption that religion is less dangerous when it is 'less religious' is wrong, says Simon Barrow. As an article in the International Herald Tribune points out, the path from death to life is found within as well as beyond each tradition.
Gordon Brown, artfully manoeuvred into Downing Street, will have little room to operate in for the social justice agenda. But what space there is will be created by the power of imagination, says Simon Barrow. Look at the example of Northern Ireland.
The determination of some religious and anti-religious people to blame each other for the world's evils is part of a damaging drift to fanaticism, argues Simon Barrow. What we all need is self-critique and hopefulness.

Mġarr or Imġarr, formerly known as Mgiarro, is a small town in the northwest of the mainland of Malta. Mgarr is a typical rural village situated in an isolated region, west of Mosta. It is surrounded with rich farmland and vineyards. Many of its 3,596[1] inhabitants are farmers or are engaged in some sort of agricultural activity. Child singer and the winner of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2013, Gaia Cauchi hails from Mġarr.
Mġarr has two important prehistoric sites: Ta' Ħaġrat, which is still in a good state of preservation, stands in a field near the village centre; Ta' Skorba, excavated in 1963, lies just outside the village.
Mġarr's history is that of a farming community patronised by various of the Mdina patrican families. Mgiarro was granted by the King of Sicily to the Inguanez family, and over time they sold it to the Falsone family. Over time, land was split up and given to all descendants.
Mġarr today has grown quite large, though still considered a country town with fresh clean air away from the major industrial towns of Malta.
Mġarr's rustic environs embrace several rustic spots like Binġemma, Wardija, Fomm ir-Riħ, Ghajn Tuffieha and Ġnejna Bay. San Anton School is a private school located within one of Mġarr's scenic valleys.

Retired. Love camping, fishing, photography and travel.
Date of Stay: May, 2015
While each pull through may not be perfectly level, ours was off one inch. Big Deal! WiFi was excellent with transmitters about every 50 yards and a strong signal faster than most parks give you. Big, clean dog park as well as a nice walking trail for you and dog with poop bag dispensers and cans. Our site had blooming lilac bushes right outside our window. This park sits on top of a hill with great views but tends to be windy at times, so keep your awning closed. Concrete patios are a nice touch but we didn't use ours because it rained most of the time we were there.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
This park has lot of amenities for kids, with a pool, mini-golf and a playground, plus recumbent trikes for them to check out to run around the park in. Some picky people have complained about the highway noise. We did not notice it because we made sure to take a spot far away from the highway. However, the spot we chose, space 31, was right under a tree and the birds crapped all over our trailer, awning and car. Lots of cleaning to do when we got home. I would give this park a higher rating if the WIFI was any good. It only works if you are inside the office building. They offer no apologies for the very weak signal and when you are on the WIFI it is very slow. The men's room is clean but dated. The nightly rate for full hook-ups is $42 but the taxes there are almost 14 per cent, so be prepared for a big bill. The free shuttle bus around town terminates at this park so that is handy. There even is a shelter to wait in for the bus.
Date of Stay: June, 2014
The back pull-through spots are very quiet. However, they are not level. There were potholes and ditch marks in sites 119-129. I saw one big rig with its front wheels off the ground. Our site was 4" off level sideways. Otherwise this was a nice park. The view of the Indian Peaks Wilderness is spectacular. All the pine trees in the area are dead, so the scenery isn't that great. You cross the bridge and you are in the Rocky Mountain National Park. The restrooms are dated but clean. Moose and elk right near the RV park. They had a road grader smooth out the interior roads, I don't know why they didn't work on the pull through spots.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
We passed up three other parks to stay at this one. Very nice, friendly staff. The camp sites are small, but far enough apart. I say small by the size of the gravel drive. You feel like you are camping on their grass, not the gravel. It can be a tight turn for larger trailers, but I saw nobody give up and move on. All utilities are within easy reach. This park is on the Needles Highway and it is being re-paved right now, so there is construction traffic and noise, but not before 7:30 a.m. It can be slow drive to Custer State Park with the construction delays, but not bad. Who's in a hurry here anyway? Big playground for the kids. Huge lawns for the kids or dog to play on. It would be very scenic here if it were not for the beetle killed pines around this area. We would recommend this park to everybody.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
We were passing through to another state and had reservations for this park. They have a deal where you can leave your trailer and boat in the space all summer and just come for the weekend, so there are very few open spots for those of you passing through. The folks next to us wanted to stay longer, but couldn't because of other reservations. So if you plan to use this park, call ahead and make reservations. Which seems weird, since it was the middle of the week. Nice pull through spots, but not level. It was easy to level up front to back and side to side. Their water system is OK but low pressure. Not a real problem. Very friendly staff.
Date of Stay: April, 2013
The previous reviewers who talked about the concrete pads, were talking about the big rig pads (class A rigs), not the typical places for travel trailers or fifth wheels. There were a lot of long-term residents here (since it is open all year?). This park is right on the busiest street of Santa Fe (Cerrillos Road) so there is a traffic noise problem if you are trying to sleep before ten PM or after seven AM. The owner is very friendly and helped us get to our pull-through site (#6). The dog park leaves a lot to be desired as it is full of cactus and is really just out back in the boonies. Not much room for dogs to play, just sniff around off the leash. The front dog walk is not much to see but he does provide you with waste bags at both locations. It is an adult park (55+), so there are no kids riding bikes in and around your site, which makes up for a couple of the other things I mentioned. If it weren't for the street noise, I'd give it a ten. It is well-maintained and there are some apartment rentals on site, too so it must be a popular spot to stay. He also owns a mobile home park in back and it is very nice and well maintained, too.
Date of Stay: October, 2012
We were welcomed by a very friendly staff/owner. Nice pull-through space, good Wi-Fi. Cell phone reception is spotty for Verizon but usable. Less expensive than staying in Salida and more trees. Lots of full-timers just leave their units here for the winter but there were plenty of transient spots available.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
This is our second trip to this park. We have stayed at the other two parks in La Veta and find this one the best for our needs. Elk Valley is the newest and nicest cared for. However, it is for sale and you can never tell if the new owners will be as nice or keep it as nice. The golf course is right across the road and great for walking your dog off the leash. There were 13 bucks in the RV park right behind our trailer the first night and 8 does the next morning.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
After having stayed at the nice RV Park in Creede, we were really disappointed in this run-down park. We stayed here two years ago and it has gone down-hill since then. I think the owner doesn't know how to use a hose to water. All the grass is dead and the only thing surviving are the weeds. We were lucky, we got a spot with concrete pads for the wheels and jacks. All the big rigs and big fifth wheels across the way had just dirt, which was really dusty. The rather young staff tends to put big rigs and big fifth wheels down this last row where it is hard for them to maneuver. The spaces are narrow, but there was enough room for our slide on one side and the awning on the other, but not much left over after that. We paid $30 a night for a beautiful RV park in Creede and $39 a night for a run-down, over-crowded RV park in Leadville. If you have anything over 35' you'll have trouble in this park. But it is better than the other place in town. We decided this was our last trip to this park.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
We usually come here annually and at different times of the year but this time it was early. The park was less than half full and plenty of room. You are guided to your spot and offered back-in guiding, if needed. The only gig I can give this park is that the utilities are spread out. You will either need a longer water hose, electrical line or sewer hose. If you park near the power box and sewer hole, you will need a longer water line. We finally met the owner. Really nice. The small dog run could use a little TLC but it is OK. They finally got the Wi-Fi in good order.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
Pull through sites are between the trees and some back in sites are fully in the trees. We'd give this place a ten but the highway noise is noticeable, I'll take half a star off for that. They have home-baked pies and scones, some with the local huckleberry. Yum! Each pull-through site is paved, almost level, but a little narrow; so plan your parking for your slides. We were able to put out a slide on one side and the awning on the other OK. The only other park with more trees than this is at Coulter Bay in the Tetons. Beautiful! We highly recommend this park, and it's about $12 a night cheaper than the KOA across the road. If you are headed east on US 2, watch carefully for their sign as trees hide half of it. They do have a more visible "300 feet ahead" sign on the left. If you pass the Lake Five Road turn, or the KOA sign, you've missed this park but the shoulder ahead is wide enough to wait for a U-turn. Or U-turn at the KOA entrance.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
Very small park in a residential neighborhood, behind a motel. Very friendly owner. This is part of a trailer park, so there are some trashy-looking mobile homes next to the campground. Highway noise could be a problem if you're a light sleeper. Lots of grass and trees. I had read reviews of the other campground, so we decided to by-pass it and stay closer to the highway. If you are headed west on I-90, you have to turn left right after you turn right on the main town road, so watch for signs. A nice stop for overnight travel. We'll stay here again on our return trip home.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
Easy in and out. Non-typical KOA as it has an indoor pool. The Loaf and Jug (convenience store) down the road is too tight for big rigs to use, so fuel up somewhere else. Casper KOA is actually about five miles north in the town of Barr Nun. Interstate noise was not too bad. Friendly staff, but they all tend to talk to you at the same time, so listen carefully to all their instructions and rules. Dog run area is very small and just gravel. It's OK for an overnight stay.
Date of Stay: July, 2011
This the fourth time we have stayed at this park. The resort side is very nice, with lots of grass, statuary and amenities if you can afford to buy into it. But the RV park side is going downhill fast. I think the last time we stayed here we gave it a ten rating, but not this time. The gravel is worn down so it is dusty. The maintenance staff act like they own the place and are sometimes rude. You are supposed to drive only 5 mph, but they run around like mad men in their carts much faster. They will water what little grass is left next to your trailer with out any consideration that they are watering your trailer at the same time. So this morning my electric line, water line and sewer line were all soaked. The electric box is at the front of the space, the sewer line is at the back and the water line is at the middle, so bring all extensions you may have. There is only one dumpster for the entire park, 97 spaces on the park side and about that many more spaces on the resort side, so the dumpster fills up in one day, and the trash truck only comes twice a week. Wi-Fi is very poor and they give you all sorts of conditions on how to use it: too many limits. Download your email and get off. The grass in the dog park is all dead, but they water the two trees every day. Now they are getting a little particular about your RV. They asked me for the first time what year was my trailer. It's new! Why would they care? Unless an older model would not look good across from the million dollar Class A's. If the trash situation does not improve, and the Wi-Fi does not improve, we wouldn't stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2011
An older park that needs some TLC. The utilities are far apart (water in the back, sewer in the middle, electricity in front). Narrow sites with not much room for slides, because the next site to your left is a pull-through from the other direction. There is a narrow concrete pad for a patio and a picnic table for each site. They have some sites back in the back that are "for the big 40' rigs", with is much newer and nicer, but I saw three Class Cs there and one class B van, we saw the night before in Utah. So there is some segregation going on. The one plus to this park is that there is an excellent BBQ business owned by the park, which is very good and reasonably priced. This is a OK stop-over after fighting the Wyoming wind all day, but I wouldn't stay here very long. A little narrow getting in but the separate exit is OK. Only one dumpster and it is on the way out.

Got My e6750 Rig Up and Overclocked!

Re: Got My e6750 Rig Up and Overclocked!
Well I got my TT Ultra 120 Extreme installed. Man that cooler is a real pain to install, had to reinstall it 3 times to get it seated right so that it was cooling properly.
I dropped about 9 degrees C under load at 3.6GHz and 1.475V to 61C. Not bad but I wanted to come done into about the mid 50s under load. I reduced my voltage to 1.425 but I also had to reduce my speed to 3.5GHz to be stable and I think I've found the sweet spot, under load I'm hitting about 53C to 55C. (Keep in mind I live in Phoenix and it is HOT here.)
I put a Scythe S-Flex 120mm fan on the Ultra 120 and is it VERY silent, gotta love that!
I did run into one issue with my motherboard that's worth mentioning. I was playing Company of Heroes and using my headphones and noticed I was getting a lot of whining noise through my X-Fi. As if there is a shielding issue somewhere. I had my X-Fi in the bottom PCI slot (PCI 3). I decided to move it to PCI 1 by the graphics card and that's when all hell broke lose. As soon as I moved the card and tried to boot my PC, it would REFUSE to boot into any overclocked setting, even the most mild overclock. I then moved the card back to PCI 3 and it was still doing it so I cleared the CMOS with the jumper and set everything back and it was fine. Just for grins I moved my X-Fi back to PCI 1 and it DID IT AGAIN! Moved it to PCI 2 this time, cleared the CMOS and all is fine. (I also tried clearing the CMOS and leaving it in PCI 1 but it was a NO-GO). I seem to have less whining noise now in PCI 2 but still a little. I didn't have this issue at all on my MSI Diamond K8N Socket 939 board.
So if anyone runs into this problem with a Gigabyte P35 board (won't overclock, just keeps rebooting until it clocks down), try making sure PCI 1 doesn't have a card and also clear your CMOS. I may just have a flakey board but since I am happy with everything else about it, I don't want to deal with RMA'ing it.

Jose Antonio Vargas: Pulitzer awardee and illegal alien
More News from Armando B. Chavez
MILPITAS, California—In a building that houses Seafood City, an Asian supermarket, and Goldilocks, Max Fried Chicken, Chow King, and Beard Papa, all food outlets catering mostly to Filipino-Americans, Jose Antonio Vargas faced a crowd composed largely of Filipinos along with a smattering of blacks and Latinos. Vargas hit the front pages and became a popular guest on the talk show circuit after he declared that he was in the US illegally.
Vargas was born in the Philippines and was sent by his mother to live with his grandparents in the US when he was just 12 without obtaining authorization for him to live in the country permanently. He did not know about his immigration status until 1997 when he applied for a California driver license and found out that the documents he submitted with his application were fraudulent, documents that had been provided to him by his family.
He kept his immigration status a secret with the help of friends and teachers, using false documents to continue his pursuit of higher education, and to live an un-extraordinary life and fit in as an ordinary citizen would in this, his adopted country. He found employment, and a career — working for such newspapers as the Philadelphia Daily News, The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, and the San Francisco Chronicle, and was part of a team that garnered the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting in 2008.
In June last year, he wrote an essay that was published in The New York Times. In that essay, he declared that he was an undocumented immigrant. (He bristles at the term "illegal alien", arguing that "there is no such thing as an illegal human being".) He states that he revealed his undocumented status "to promote dialogue about what he feels is a broken immigration system."
That afternoon, he was in Milpitas as the guest speaker in a town hall meeting organized by the National Federation of Filipino-American Associations, Region 8, and to promote Vargas's project called "Define American", a multi-media campaign aimed at helping illegal aliens or, as Vargas prefers to them and to himself, undocumented immigrants, push for legitimization by challenging traditional definitions of what an American is and changing the conversation about immigration in America.
Among the notable guests at the meeting were Filipino Americans who had risen to high political positions in two Bay Area cities—the Honorable Jose Esteves, mayor of Milpitas, who also presented Vargas a recommendation, and the Honorable Pat Gacoscos, vice mayor of Union City.
Also in audience were students from the University of San Francisco, Napa Valley College up north, and even UC Davies from farther north. The proceedings was moderated by Ben Menor, Santa Clara Chairperson of Region 8 with Lorna Dietz, Chair of Region 8 moderating the media Q & A.

Legislation to prohibit the sale or use of body parts of aborted unborn babies for research purposes (Assembly Bill 214 / Senate Bill 172) has raised the standard ire and arguments of University of Wisconsin researchers: Limit what we do, and we will threaten to leave the state and create a black hole in the Wisconsin economy.
Through abortion, an unwanted unborn child can be destroyed for any reason. Researchers have added an additional burden the aborted baby must bear. Not only is his/her humanity denied, but if we don't use the baby's remains, others may not be healed or may die, smart people will leave Wisconsin and the Wisconsin economy will be drained.
But is this "catastrophe" real? AB 214/SB 172 only limit research using children who were aborted. It does not prohibit use of miscarried or stillborn babies who die a natural death. From a research standpoint, there are equivalent or better sources of fetal material found in amniotic fluid, umbilical cord blood and placental tissue with no ethical concerns.
Decades ago, it was believed that only "young" tissues would exhibit long-term growth lines. Adult tissues are now found to be far more effective than initially believed. There are alternatives - and very good ones.
The researchers' "sky is falling" attitude is grossly overstated. If only eight researchers at UW out of hundreds are using fetal tissue from aborted babies, does prohibiting the sale or use of fetal body parts really halt research substantially? When other equivalent or better sources are available?
Using aborted babies for research can create a situation where more pressure can be exercised on the vulnerable woman faced with an unplanned pregnancy, and another "reason" - helping medical science - cited for her to abort. Are women persuaded to abort specifically so that transplant tissues are available for themselves or another family member? Would a woman become pregnant so that her aborted baby can provide fetal tissue for a sibling?
The lesson has been clear throughout the ages: Devalue the humanity of a member of the human family, and any abuse is possible. Today, the unborn child is the least-protected member of the human family. The war on unborn children has escalated dramatically since the 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision to the point where unborn children are now viewed by researchers as a mere product - not really human to justify what they are doing but valuable nonetheless simply because they are human. They can't have it both ways.
Let's allow researchers the freedom to explore all avenues to improve the human condition. Let's also make certain that it is not at the expense of any member of the human family.

WASHINGTON In a story June 12, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas was the only Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee who supported a measure to remove commanders from decision-making on whether to prosecute sexual assault cases in the military. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., also supported the proposal. A corrected version of the story is below:
Committee rejects overhaul of military justice
Committee approves continued role for commanders in trying to stop sexual assaults in military
By RICHARD LARDNER and DONNA CASSATA
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Siding with the Pentagon's top brass, the Senate Armed Services Committee approved legislation Wednesday to keep commanders involved in deciding whether to prosecute sexual assault cases, rejecting an aggressive plan to stem sex-related crimes in the armed forces by overhauling the military justice system.
By a vote of 17-9, the committee passed a bill crafted by its chairman, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., designed to increase pressure on senior commanders to prosecute sexual assault cases by requiring a top-level review if they fail to do so. Levin's proposal also makes it a crime to retaliate against victims who report a sexual assault and also calls on the Pentagon to relieve commanders who fail to create a climate receptive for victims.
The committee rebuffed a proposal in a bill by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., to remove commanders from the process of deciding whether serious crimes, including sexual misconduct cases, go to trial. That judgment would have rested instead with seasoned trial lawyers who have prosecutorial experience and hold the rank of colonel or above. The committee also rejected a provision of Gillibrand's bill that would have taken away a commander's authority to convene a court-martial by giving that responsibility to new and separate offices outside a victim's chain of command.
Echoing concerns voiced by the Joint Chiefs of Staff over Gillibrand's bill, members who backed Levin said they feared taking commanders out of the legal process would create more problems than it would solve by undercutting the ability of officers to maintain good order and discipline in their units.
"I do not support removing the authority of commanders to prosecute sexual assault cases and putting that decision in the hands of military lawyers outside the chain of command," said Levin, who acknowledged the military has a serious problem with sexual assaults in the ranks.
Levin's proposals to prevent sexual assaults will be included in a sweeping 2014 defense policy bill. His legislation also includes a provision that would largely strip commanders of the power to overturn convictions in rape and assault cases. The change was initially recommended in April by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and is backed by the Joint Chiefs and many members of the House and Senate, including Gillibrand.
Under Levin's legislation, the civilian secretaries of the military services would be required to conduct a review if a commander ignores the recommendation of a military lawyer to prosecute a sexual assault case.
Commanders actually are more likely to prosecute sexual assault cases than are military lawyers, Levin argued. He cited recent congressional testimony from commanders who said they have prosecuted sexual assault cases against the advice of military lawyers "because of the importance of the message that such prosecution sends to the troops."
