Iraq court sentences Iraq's fugitive Vice President to death by hanging
Court convicts Tareq al-Hashemi, top critic of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, of murder, sentences him to death.
Middle East Online
By Ammar Karim – BAGHDAD
Hashemi has taken refuge in Turkey
Iraq's fugitive Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi, a top critic of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, was convicted of murder Sunday and sentenced to death by hanging, in a decision likely to renew political tensions.
Hashemi, tried in absentia, has dismissed all charges against him as politically motivated. A Baghdad court also tried in absentia his secretary and son-in-law Ahmed Qahtan and sentenced him to death.
The trial for the murder of a lawyer and a brigadier general, which began in May, covered the first of around 150 charges levelled against Hashemi, who has been accused of running a death squad, and his bodyguards.
Sunday hearing opened with the prosecution asking the court to condemn Hashemi, one of Iraq's most senior Sunni officials, to death for the two murders but to drop a charge of involvement in another top security official's killing.
The defence lawyers then read a lengthy closing statement protesting that the trial was unfair and the court exposed to political pressure.
A judge at one point interrupted, warning the defence lawyer: "You are attacking the judicial authority and you will be held responsible if you continue."
The sentence was issued after about 30 minutes of deliberation by the three judges.
Hashemi, who was born in 1942, became one of Iraq's vice presidents in April 2006, the same month that his brother and sister were shot dead in separate attacks.
When he first became a vice president, he was the head of the Iraqi Islamic Party, a group that was said to have connections to some elements of Iraq's Sunni insurgency.
The party was the driving force in Iraq's Sunni-led National Concord Front, which helped mastermind the return of the country's Sunni minority to the political process after the community boycotted January 2005 elections.
Hashemi later founded the Tajdid (Renewal) party, which is a part of Iraqiya, the secular, Sunni-backed bloc that won the most seats in 2010 parliamentary polls only to be outmanoeuvred by Maliki, who retained the premiership.
He was reelected as vice president in 2010 but was accused of running a death squad in mid-December 2011 as the last American soldiers left the country.
Hashemi fled to Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region, which declined to hand him over to the federal government, and then embarked on a tour that took him to Qatar and Saudi Arabia. He has taken refuge in Turkey since April.
Interpol said in May that it had issued an international Red Notice for the arrest of Hashemi on suspicion of "guiding and financing terrorist attacks."
It said the notice, its highest possible alert, was issued under an Iraqi warrant "as part of an investigation in which security forces seized bombing materials and arrested individuals."

The North Carolina Retirement Systems is poised to pour billions into alternative investments, but it's not necessarily a good move for hedge funds.
The $63.5 billion public pension fund has approved a new asset allocation that will increase its target alternative investments allocation by 9%. But North Carolina also did away with a separate 1% hedge fund allocation and will likely terminate some of the fund of hedge funds managers that currently fill it.
The plan has increased its private equity allocation to 4.5% from 3.5% and its real estate allocation to 8% from 6%. But the bulk of the new alternative investments will be made in North Carolina's inflation-protected and credit strategy allocations: Each was raised from 1.5% to 4.5% of assets, Pensions & Investments reports.
The new allocations will be funded from the equity and hedge fund allocations.
Some of North Carolina's funds of funds will likely be kept on as part of the inflation-protected and credit portfolios. How many join them remains unclear; the state legislature has authorized the pension to invest up to 5% of its assets in either portfolio in hedge funds.
"Hedge funds… can be utilized in either allocation," Shawm Wischmeier, chief investment officer of the system, said. "Whether or not to utilize a hedge fund structure will depend on the investment opportunity."

Israel will discover who it faces in the first round of the 2013 Davis Cup World
Group on Wednesday after its dramatic playoff victory against Japan over the
weekend.Israel will be one of the eight unseeded teams in the draw in
London and will play one of the world's top eight ranked nations over the
weekend of February 1-3, 2013.The blue-and-white will face either: Spain
(home), Czech Republic (away), Argentina (home), Serbia (away), France (away),
United States (draw), Croatia (draw) or Kazakhstan (draw).Eyal Ran's men
will be crossing their fingers to be paired with Kazakhstan, hopefully at home,
with the other seven possible opponents to be overwhelming favorites to advance
to the quarterfinals should they be drawn against Israel.However, it
remains to be seen how many of the world's top players end up taking part in
next February's ties as they will be taking place only five days after the end
of the Australian Open."Any team we receive in the draw is going to be
tough so I'm hoping the tie will at least be played in Israel," said Amir
Weintraub, who led Israel to the win over Japan.An heroic performance by
Weintraub on Sunday booked Israel's return to the World Group after a two-year
absence.Weintraub overcame cramp and a player ranked 170 places above
him to give Israel a 3-2 victory over Japan in Tokyo, beating Go Soeda 6-3, 7-6
(5), 4- 6, 6-3 in the fifth and decisive rubber."Truth is, my entire
body is aching, but I'm very happy, although it has yet to really sink in,"
Weintraub said upon his return to Israel on Tuesday."I will take a few
days to rest before getting back on tour and hopefully will gain some ranking
points before the end of the year. I only have two more tournaments to play in
2012, the next is in three weeks time, and I need a few days at home to rest
after being abroad for three months. I hope I can build on this and continue the
momentum."Israel entered the final day of action at the Ariake Coliseum
in a 2-1 lead after Andy Ram and Yoni Erlich won Saturday's doubles encounter
with a gutsy performance.However, Dudi Sela suffered a heartbreaking
6-3, 3-6, 4-6, 6-4, 7-5 loss to Japan No. 1 Kei Nishikori after a classic match
which lasted 4 hours and 31 minutes, meaning the tie would have to be decided in
a fifth and final match.Since falling 4-1 to Chile in March 2010 and
dropping out of the World Group, Israel had twice just missed out on regaining
its place among the world's top 16 nations, losing at home in the fifth and
final rubber to Austria in 2011 and to Canada last year.However,
Weintraub took the extra step for the blue-and-white on Sunday.After
claiming a surprise win on Friday, Weintraub, who climbed nine places to No. 214
in the world on Monday, opened a two-set lead thanks to a superb
start.Soeda fought back to take the third set and had a break point in
the first game of the fourth set, with Weintraub visibly suffering from cramp in
his left leg.However, the weather would come to Weintraub's rescue, with
a rain break allowing the Israeli, who celebrated his 26th birthday on Sunday,
to receive treatment in the dressing room.The crucial break in the
fourth set arrived in the fourth game and Weintraub held his cool to clinch the
most memorable win of his career."Last year I beat Raonic of Canada on
my birthday and this year I helped the team to the World Group, hopefully next
year I can celebrate with a win in the semifinals," an overjoyed Weintraub
said."We may not deserve to be in the World Group when you consider our
rankings, but we deserve it because of our heart."

We booked with Jetline Cruises for the Azamara Quest Monaco Grand Prix cruise. We were a party of 8 and Derren handled all our booking details and we couldn't say we were disappointed with anything. All matters were managed correctly and when one of our party cancelled, they even managed to give a partial refund on the deposit. We booked (and stayed in) the Westminster hotel in Nice and all was as it should have been. Great Grand Prix tickets in the grandstand, all included. Exactly what it said on the tin! I thought they gave good service!

Instead of stopping the wars all together. Israel is so obsessed with showing its strength and military superiority that it does not even consider trying to find a peaceful solution. And no one should call what happened in Gaza a war. It was a military assault against a virtually defenseless people.

346. Serbia's October Revolution: Evaluating International Efforts Promoting Democratic BreakthroughJul 07, 2011
October 2007 - In 1987, the former Yugoslav communist apparatchik-turned national protagonist, Slobodan Milosevic, showed promise as a modern liberator. Enjoying immense initial support, he rose to power swiftly and retained the authority he achieved with violence, xenophobic propaganda, appeals to history, legalism, patronage and appropriation of the country's wealth. He ruled as Yugoslavia's constituent republics devolved into separate nations, through four wars and as a NATO bombing campaign pitted his regime against the West. The stirring electoral victory of his opposition and subsequent protests that removed Milosevic on October 5, 2000, came after more than a decade during which the autocrat often seemed unassailable, invulnerable and incorrigible. His fall was hailed inside and outside of Serbia as a decisive moment of revolutionary democratic change. more
EES News March-April 2009Jul 07, 2011
164. Nationalism, The Kosovo Crisis, and Political Change In SerbiaJul 07, 2011
October 1998 - The mass-based, extreme brand of nationalism, connected with the rise of Slobodan MiloŠevic and with the most cataclysmic years of Yugoslavia's meltdown and disintegration (1990-93), has to a large extent dissipated. However, political forces advancing extreme nationalist sentiments, as well as popular support for those views, remain strong in Serbia and among Serbs in other areas such as Kosovo and the Republika Srpska (as we have just seen from the electoral results in Bosnia). Although intellectual ideologists of Serbian nationalism and ultra-nationalism have been dispirited by MiloŠevic's failures, fundamental views about Serbia's national and territorial interests persist, related to feelings of "wounded national pride." Talk of pursuing a "Greater Serbia" and open revanchism are now rather less visible, as soul-searching occurs about recent Serb experiences in the Balkans. There is still, however, a strong commitment in various circles to the pursuit of Serbian national interests, as well as resentment about what has occurred over the last decade. more
312. Trafficking Women after Socialism: from, to and through Eastern EuropeJul 07, 2011
March 2005 - The traffic in women and girls for prostitution has recently commanded the attention of state authorities, activists and academics the world over, although it is hardly a new phenomenon. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, increasing globalization, accompanied by population increases, urbanization, international migration, colonization and political upheaval contributed importantly to the growth of prostitution and the traffic in women and girls around the world. European countries, China and Japan supplied prostitutes to other countries. For example, French, Polish, Russian and Italian women went to brothels in other European countries, Argentina and Brazil while Chinese and Japanese women, including women of Korean ethnicity, went to brothels in colonial holdings such as British Hong Kong, the Dutch East Indies, French Indo-China, Manchuria, Singapore and Shanghai. more
26. Anglo-American Diplomacy and the Montenegrin Question, 1914-21Jul 07, 2011
This paper is a small part of a more detailed study-in-progress of British and American foreign policy vis-a-vis Montenegro. The author's inquiry into British and American foreign policy is, in turn, part of a book-length study provisionally entitled "The Strange Death of the Kingdom of Montenegro," which examines the demise of that independent Serb, but not Serbian, kingdom between 1914 and 1924. more
136. Present Day Hungarian Politics and The Memory of 1956Jul 07, 2011
March 1997 - October-November 1956 witnessed the most momentous events in Hungarian history since 1848, according to Istvan Deak, but they escape an agreed definition despite remaining a defining memory. The debate in Hungary over the events of 1956 even extends to what to call them, with "revolution and struggle for freedom" being the current compromise. Deak, the Seth Low Professor of History at Columbia University and a former Wilson Center Fellow, began his Noon Discussion on 12 March by reviewing the way the 1956 revolution has been treated in Hungary from the Communist to the post-Communist period. To bring his audience up to date on the political debate and the current best understanding of what happened, he concluded with his impressions from the fortieth anniversary conference held in Budapest in September 1996. The meeting was cosponsored by the Center's Cold War International History Project, the Institute for the History of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and the National Security Archive. more
287. Regime Change in Serbia and Iraq: What Have We Learned about the Legacy of Autocracies?Jul 07, 2011
Although not an immediately obvious pairing, much can be learned from the fall of Serbia's autocracy that may be applied to Iraq. Both countries were isolated and run for a long time by forcefully imposed autocratic regimes that developed a breed of patriotism which did not allow for dissent. Opportunities for these two countries to cooperate were enhanced by the similar position of the two regimes under international sanctions and fighting for survival against a 'common enemy.' Thus, not only do autocracies act similarly under similar conditions, but they also band together as they attempt to offset the ill effects of international pariah status. The reaction of the public in Serbia to the 1999 NATO campaign and the mind set that allowed for the continuation and at least temporary strengthening of Slobodan Milosevic's rule could have provided many clues, if not a template, for how Iraqis would behave under occupation. Moreover, the difficulties and slow pace of transformation in Serbia offer tips for state-building in Iraq. more
206. An Assessment of the Peace Process in Bosnia and KosovoJul 07, 2011
June 2000 - Shortly after the referendum on independence in the spring of 1992, war exploded in Bosnia- Herzegovina (BiH) and ended only when the Dayton Peace Accords were agreed to in November 1995 and formally signed in December 1995. Expected to bring peace and stability to the area, many critics today are declaring Dayton a failure. Yet, to conclude that the Dayton Peace Accords are a failure after less than five years of implementation is premature. more
353. Blue Helmets and Black Markets: The Business of Survival in the Siege of SarajevoJul 07, 2011
October 2008 - Inside the UN-run airport in besieged Sarajevo hung a makeshift sign: Maybe Airlines. Along the edges of the sign, aid workers, journalists, and diplomats had posted stickers—CNN, ITN, CBS, RTL, MSF, VOX, UNICEF, the French flag, the Canadian flag, the Swedish flag and so on. Above the sign was a piece of plywood with the word destinations hand-written at the top, with a changeable placard below (the placard choices included New York, Geneva, Rome, Berlin, Zagreb, Paris and Heaven). Maybe Airlines was the nickname given to the unreliable UN flights in and out of wartime Sarajevo—the longest airlift ever attempted and the centerpiece of the international humanitarian response to the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Meanwhile, underneath the airport tarmac ran a narrow and damp 800-meter-long tunnel that bypassed both UN controls and the siege lines. Protected from Serb shelling and sniper fire, thousands of people and tons of food, arms and other supplies moved through the underground passageway every day (which the UN pretended did not exist), providing both a vital lifeline for the city and an enormous opportunity for black market profiteering. While the UN airlift was part of the highly visible front-stage of the siege, the tunnel was part of the much less visible but equally important backstage action. Together, they helped Sarajevo survive for more than three-and-a-half years, setting a siege longevity record. more
3. Religion and Nationalism in Eastern EuropeJul 07, 2011
Because of the endeavors to bring in the churches as associates for the building up of a real socialist society, anti-church policies and an aggressive atheist propaganda have been abandoned in some countries. Fundamentally, a similar tendency can be observed at work in the Soviet Union. The existence of the church is more or less accepted or tolerated and the fight against religion is, in some publications,presented as a fight against those social roots from which religion arises. more

We're off to the Sault
... about an hour and a half. Needless to say we got a little wet. We stopped at a rest area when the rain stopped and straightened things out, changed clothes cause it was cool and chilled.

Return, Day 5: Ontario to Sault Ste Marie, MI
... around 7:15pm. I got gas immediately and changed out my Canadian money for US. The Canadian dollar is 95 cents to the US dollar today.
I found my way over to the most adorable little motel with a gazebo and cute globe lighting, etc... hoping that they were dog-friendly. And when I opened the door and saw a huge sheep dog sitting at the host station, I knew I'd found the right place!

I am one who tries not to get involved in other peoples personal issues. I feel that unless I am perfect I have no business in judging what others are doing in their personal lives. We are all human and imperfect, even superstars.
Through my childhood, I always thought the adults in the room were in charge. They told me what to do, and when to do it. However, I may have had it backwards.
There is no way to escape the controversy over the confederate flag lately. I have to honestly say that I never fully understood the strong feeling attached to it. I am from North Dakota where you saw the confederate flag on the Dukes of Hazzard or a southern rock album cover.

LinkedIn launches new search service
The business orientated social networking website, LinkedIn, has rehauled its search options.
The team is now making it easier for members to find each other with a new search engine.
This allows members to refine their searches using more than a dozen data fields, including "name", "company", and "school".
There is also a new "In Common" feature which helps locate people who have shared connections.
LinkedIN adds that members can now also save searches and receive email reminders when a search finds someone that meets the specified criteria.
Esteban Kozak, senior product manager at LinkedIn, told Media Week that the rehaul is "redefining the way professionals go about finding talent, business partners, customers, or a former colleague".

Look at Bill Clinton. Who knows how many defense companies and foreign countries had videos of him having sex with college age girls. Every morning he would say "please don't let the videos come out today". In the end he came undone by a protein stain. Maybe Lieberman will skate on these charges and finally go down for shoplifting halvah.

Recently, a friend of mine was on a plane hit by lightning. Seemed scary enough, but the pilot had quickly explained very calmly that it was nothing to worry about. A bit later the plane landed safely. Most of my stories of flying have been more funny than scary. And whenever I'm bored, I snap […]

Kelley Drye Sued for Age Discrimination by EEOC View Count: 57
Kelley Drye & Warren was sued Thursday by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for violating federal age discrimination law. The civil suit, which was filed in U.S. district court in Manhattan, claims Kelley Drye attorneys who practice law after turning 70 years of age "received dramatically reduced compensation compared to similarly productive younger attorneys solely because of their age."
The EEOC filed the suit on behalf of 79-year-old attorney Eugene T. D'Ablemont, who has been with the firm for over 40 years. According to the suit, Kelley Drye requires all partners to give up their ownership interest in the firm at the age of 70. If an attorney continues to work, compensation consists of an annual "bonus" payment that is wholly within the discretion of the firm's executive committee.
For D'Ablemont, the result has been a drastic cut in compensation since he turned 70 in 2001 despite a similar workload.
"A law firm's compensation for its attorneys should be based on ability and productivity, not on age-based stereotypes about declining effectiveness," said Elizabeth Grossman, regional attorney in the EEOC's New York office.
The EEOC is the government agency responsible for enforcing federal anti-discrimination laws in the workplace.
