August 5 2015 Latest news:
Traffic queueing near Junction 54 on the A14 due to the onion spill.
BY Lizzie Parry
Thursday, October 4, 2012
AN MP today demanded answers following a day of misery which caused havoc for motorists across Ipswich and Felixstowe.
IPSWICH MP Ben Gummer dismissed the idea of looking again at a northern bypass for Ipswich.
The bypass would link the A14 north of Ipswich with the A12 in Martlesham.
"We are not going to have enough money to build something as expensive as the northern bypass and that is if you can get the consent of villagers," he said.
"When this was last mooted there was such a determined campaign against it, it was politically impossible."
Ipswich Borough councillor Philip Smart, transport portfolio holder, also questioned whether an initiative such as the northern bypass would have stopped the traffic delays seen in Ipswich yesterday.
Mr Smart added: "My own feeling is that what we have got here are accidents caused by lorries in both cases and that really, long term, we should be looking at putting more goods on rail."
Around one million extra lorries a year will be using the A14 when the Port of Felixstowe completes the next phase of its expansion – expected in the next decade providing the economy improves – to create more deepwater berths at the southern end of the port. At present more than 4,500 trucks visit every day – in and out – to unload or collect containers.
As well as the misery for drivers yesterday, the gridlock also caused problems for businesses and shops in the town centre.
Paul Clement, chief executive of IP Central, said: "It's hugely inconvenient and there is no question that something like this will damage the economy of a town.
"It is important that we see them as an unfortunate coincidence – it's not the norm – it's just one of those things."
On one of the worst 24 hours in the history of our fragile road network, jaded motorists faced unprecedented delays after two accidents on the A14.
The chaos began at 6.50am when a lorry overturned near the Orwell Bridge, shedding its load of onions across both carriageways.
Police closed three lanes – the entire westbound carriageway and lane two heading in the opposite direction – for seven-and-a-half hours, flooding traffic into a gridlocked Ipswich.
A spokesman for the constabulary said the delay was caused by the need to conduct skid tests on the stretch of road after the onions had been collected.
But after finally fully reopening the bridge at 2.42pm, police officers were forced to close the same section 18 minutes later when three lorries collided on the westbound carriageway, close to the Seven Hills roundabout.
Ipswich MP Ben Gummer – who himself was caught up in heavy traffic in Nacton Road – today questioned the length of time it took to reopen the A14.
He said he will be speaking to the Highways Agency and the police.
Referring to the time it took to conduct the clean-up operation following the onion spill, Mr Gummer said: "What I want to know is was this cleared up as quickly as it could have been? Because it happened early in the morning and it is not like people were hurt."
The Highways Agency said the westbound carriageway would be closed overnight at the Seven Hills roundabout.
The day of motoring misery was triggered when a 50-tonne lorry overturned close to the Shell garage at Nacton, around 500 yards before the Orwell Bridge.
One eye-witness told The Star: "It looks as though the lorry has left the garage to rejoin the carriageway and shed its load as it went over."
Closing three lanes of the Orwell Bridge had a disastrous knock-on effect for all other routes into Ipswich.
Traffic was diverted off the A14 at Nacton, snaking through Ransomes Europark and hitting Nacton Road, Landseer Road and Felixstowe Road with Colchester Road also affected.
Meanwhile in Wherstead Road traffic inched towards the town centre as frustrated motorists were forced off the A14 before the Orwell Bridge at Wherstead.
Roadworks in the one-way system at Fore Street and at the Civic Drive, Princes Street roundabout exacerbated the problems.
Star reader Norman Salmon, who spent more than an hour travelling from Epsom Drive, off Henley Road to the Riverside Clinic in Landseer Road, said if an ambulance had needed to get a patient suffering a heart attack to Papworth Hospital they might not have made it in time.
The 74-year-old, who has travelled to the Cambridgeshire hospital for heart treatment, said: "Why can't the borough and county councillors and MPs get together and do something about the issue?
"What if an ambulance had needed to get someone who was critically ill to Papworth? There were cars all over the place, there is no way they could have got through.
"It was chaos. What about fire engines? Someone could have been burning to death and fire crews might not have been able to get through."
Police say two people were hurt in the second incident at the Seven Hills roundabout.
The air ambulance was dispatched to the scene.
A police spokesman said one person received life-changing injuries to his leg, while a second patient was treated for a broken arm.
A spokesman for the force defended the time it took to clear the mess, citing safety issues as their main priority.
"It was not just a case of recovering the lorry, which can take a long time in itself, but picking up all the onions as well.
"Once the road was cleared we had to carry out a standard skid test to ensure the road surface is safe for vehicles to drive over."

I bet the police and HA are quaking in their boots at the thought of being spoken to by 'Big Ben' !

There has been some concern expressed about drivers taking photos of queuing traffic. The Ipswich Star photographers only use their cameras when it is safe to do so, when their cars are stationary and their engines are turned off. Traffic was so slow on the A14 yesterday that people were stopping completely, making it possible for us to get some of these photos. Others were taken by passengers. Although we ask for photos from the scene of a major news story we would never condone anyone putting themselves or others at risk. Natalie Hoodless, Digital Publisher, Archant Suffolk

One million extra lorries will use the A14 when then the new dock expansion is complete but what about the road network to support those lorries? Why isn't central government being pushed to provide money to solve this? Certainly more needs to be taken by rails and the new dual-ling of the rail track will help take some trucks off the road but if those that get removed are just replaced by this new million then when does the situation ever improve?
Thursday, October 4, 2012
Well it's nice to see that the MP is taking some action over this but it makes me wonder if he would have if he hadn't been caught up in the traffic yesterday? Bless him for thinking about himself The Northern bypass has been talked about before but the local residents didn't want it with the usual "Not in my backyard" mentality. And what happened to the dock link road from the Nacton interchange down to Ipswich Docks that was supposed to go behind the old airport? again people moved into the houses then campaigned against it until it was dropped. And then there was the plan to move containers to a new terminal at Stowmarket which would have reduced the amount of lorries on this stretch of the A14 but again this plan never came to anything. While no-one likes change the mentality of being apposed to everything has left Felixstowe as a one road town and when something happens along it then it does cause chaos everywhere else. Just Think what it would be like if enough people had protested about the building of the Orwell bridge and it hadn't been built all the traffic still came through Ipswich on a daily basis. And another thing what was a 50 tonne lorry doing on our roads the weight limit for a standard artic is only 40 tones, Sorry Mr Gummer if that held you up a bit longer but I think the safety of the other road users is just as important as you making it to some meeting or maybe a dinner booking.

Don't ask the councils, as they will probably do their usual and dig up the entire road network at the same time, narrow all the lanes and install even more traffic lights to "control" the traffic.

Skid tests? I never realised onions were transported in vats of grease. Health and safety gone mad.

Over the years, many projects e.g. the Grange Farm development, have gone ahead due to the inclusion of a northern bypass to ease traffic on the A14 and A1214 as part of the development. Clearly, a Northern Bypass is felt to be necessary yet, time and again, these developments are completed without it materialising. And now, despite yesterday's incidents again causing traffic chaos, Ben Gummer dismisses the idea of the bypass as unnecessary. I believe I read this more as 'NIMBY'.
Thursday, October 4, 2012
The building of new roads, bypasses would not be necessary if the Highways Agency, local authority and police got their fingers out and cleared roads quickly. Why does it take a whole day to re-open an important major road? Every accident is treated as a "crime scene" Getting the road open will be even more of a priority as more traffic comes into Felixstowe. Also nearly all accidents involve lorries, very large fines should be made on ALL lorry drivers and their employers until they learn to drive sensibly and safely These fines should be used to compensate the local community for the inconvenience caused Better still get most freight onto rail

Such optimism: within two years London will have a new port planned to handle 3.5million tcu. It will be a fierce competitor. Why are we so concerned about bringing foreign goods into the country? If we make our own products we would not need to detroy our land to help foreign imports, we'd save money and create jobs.
Friday, October 5, 2012
The whole town was gridlocked it seemed. Even roads not normally so. You forgot the roadworks at the top of Grove Lane - they didn't help either.
Thursday, October 4, 2012
the a14 was blocked because of an accident if you drive i assume you all know what an accident is the police and other services did the best they could to clear the road as soon as it were possible while taking care of there own safety at the same time and for those that choose to jump down ben gummer throat he is probably the best mp ipswich has had in a long time if drivers took a bit more care when behind the wheel we would not have these issues in the first place yesterday it was blocked today it was,nt get on with it

The comment from Mr Smart about putting more goods on the rail is sometimes unworkable. There will be a need to built a goods unloading dock at Bury St Edmunds Sugar factory for the Sugar beat & somewhere for the farmers to load it. Did the Onions come from Felixstowe Dock?

Some of the biggest increases hit college towns. The jobless rate in Bryan-College Station, Texas, home to Texas A&M, rose to 6.5 percent, a month-to-month increase of 1.6 percent.
The figures aren't adjusted to account for seasonal trends.
Here's more:
Tuscaloosa, Ala., home to the University of Alabama, suffered the biggest monthly increase in unemployment from May to June. Its jobless rate jumped to 12.5 percent in June, up 3.8 percent.
Michigan's metro area of Detroit-Warren-Livonia posted the second-biggest monthly gain. The unemployment rate climbed to 17.1 percent, a gain of 2.2 percentage points.

Logic, reason and fact do not supersede human nature. Ignorance reigns without justice.

In earlier versions of the game, the locking in place mechanic wasn't there and you could move all about. Though the game did not feel visceral enough, and in time they made it so that it would do such, and altered the attack animations so that you really felt each "strike". This is especially true with the rogue and guardian fighter. There were other reasons as well, though this is what makes the combat feel so strong and fun at the moment. You are still technically able to move while attacking, it will just interrupt in most situations (as how can you have pin point accuracy when you're jumping about?).
When faced with strife or discontent, the true nature of a man is brought forth. It is then when we see the character of the individual. It is then we are able to tell if he is mature enough to grin and bare it, or subject his fellow man to his complaints and woes.

Mourinho coached Chelsea between 2004 and 2007, before being fired and going to Inter Milan, and then to Real Madrid.
"I am delighted to welcome José back to Chelsea. His continued success, drive and ambition made him the outstanding candidate," said Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay.
"It is our aim to keep the club moving forward to achieve greater success in the future and José is our No1 choice as we believe he is the right manager to do just that. He was and remains a hugely popular figure at the club and everyone here looks forward to working with him again."

Great pork
Amazing pork in Bangalore! must visit. It's Coorgi style. Pork at it's best! It has a classic dosa place ambience so don't expect too much decoration and things of that sort. The place is clean though and the service is friendly since it's a small place. The food is extremely hygienic so don't worry about falling sick. Apart from pork the rest of the dishes are not great, but average, so if it's pork you're looking for it's a must visit. It's an old place been around for many years without many people knowing about it cos it's an old style place with dedicated followers. But I believe that should change! Pork Patronage :-)
Getting down to the food- A meal for 2 would cost you around 350-400. That's after ordering a lot of dishes. The highest priced delicacy is Rs. 85/-(Pork Speacial fry- It's a pungent dish so may not suit everyone) so you can order a great deal of variety. Order 3 starters with the Akki Roti and a main curry dish. try out the Phandi(pork curry) ginger pork curry. The garlic pork is pungent so may not suit everyone's taste buds. Among starters order anything and you'll love it! They all are good.
You also get Fatless pork so it caters to those who are relatively health conscious as well. Check it out and be the judge yourself.

lot to improve
Had been to Coorg Pavillion RT Nagar on 18th September 2010. Its small place which can accommodate 20 people. Ambience is fine but there is room for improvement. Service has lot to improve - waiting for menu 10 minutes, take away response time - 40 minutes. Food tastes authentic coorgi and its cheap. Restaurant management needs to relook at how they can keep the customers happy by a faster turnaround time. I found the customers fighting with waiters for their orders.

Alexander Skarsgard will soon be on his way into the vast Icelandic wilderness for a well earned break from filming True Blood and promoting a string of movies. So right now it's a case of grab him whilst you can, and cinema.de have done exactly that with a new interview during which Alex talks about The East, his grandmother, and Eric Northman's fate on True Blood.
Thanks to The Alexander Skarsgard Library you can a read the entire translated version of the interview, but here are a few bits and pieces to wet your appetite.
C: What is your life like?Alex: Over the past months, it was very stressful. I worked almost nonstop for the new season of "True Blood," and on the free days I had press conferences for my other films. But soon I'll go with some friends for a week after filming to Iceland for hiking. Last year I did a four-week sailing trip across the Atlantic - without phone reception or email, just me and nature – wonderfulC: Would you like to work more in Sweden?Alex: I love to be in Scandinavia. There are a lot of interesting projects and directors. But to me it is not necessarily about the country where I work, but the story. If it interests me a bit, I'm sure even in the Kalahari Desert.
C: Do you know a very charismatic person?Alex: Stockholm. My grandmother has a lot of charisma. I've been away from home for six months and will see her again in three weeks – and I am looking forward to it very much.
C: A final question about "True Blood": There are rumors that Eric dies in the sixth season …Alex: We just filmed the last two episodes and I'm still here … Of course I can not tell what will happen, but Eric definitely does not have an easy time. People have found a way to fight against the vampires – for the first time in 1000 years! Geez, I really need to watch what I say. Just this: There will come a new person in Eric's life.
So there you go folks, straight from the mouth of the Viking, Eric is still here, he's survived "the funeral", and if we are lucky enough to get a Season 7, he'll be right in the middle of all the action!
And remember, tomorrow is not just another day, it's True Blood day, and we suspect this "new person" could be female and is about to make her first appearance…….

By John D. BanusiewiczAmerican Forces Press Service
KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait, Feb. 23, 2004 Meetings with military and civilian officials and visits with U.S. troops and Iraqi security forces in Baghdad Feb. 23 marked Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's fourth visit to Iraq since the country's liberation.
The day was to have culminated with the secretary having dinner with troops at the Baghdad International Airport dining facility. But when he was inundated with requests from soldiers and airmen to allow a friend to take their picture with him, Rumsfeld spent most of the visit doing just that. Hundreds of troops lined up along the long wall of the building, patiently waiting their turn, and the secretary greeted the last as enthusiastically as the first.
Rumsfeld's first stop of the day was to the "Muleskinner" forward operating base of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment. He received a briefing on Task Force 1st Armored Division activities and the reduction of the coalition's "footprint" in Baghdad from 36,000 soldiers at 48 locations to 24,000 at eight locations on the outskirts of the city by mid-April.
Officials told the secretary the threat environment in Baghdad is such that Iraqi security forces can manage it. The city now has 12,000 fully equipped police officers, seven battalions of the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps and three battalions of the Iraqi army.
Next, Rumsfeld paid a brief visit to a class of ICDC trainees before moving on to Coalition Provisional Authority headquarters, where he met with key officials. These included CPA administrator Ambassador L. Paul Bremer III; Army Lt. Gens. Ricardo Sanchez and Thomas Metz, the top U.S. military leaders in Iraq; and Charles Duelfer, the new head of the Iraq Survey Group. He also was interviewed by the Iraqi Media Network and visited the Baghdad Police Academy.
Speaking with Pentagon reporters traveling with him, the secretary had high praise for the Iraqi citizens who continue to join the country's fledgling security forces, using the police academy cadets he'd just seen as an example.
"It was terrific," he said. "What you've got is a group of people, a whole variety of ages some young and some not so young (and) all sizes and shapes. They were upbeat. They were proud of what they were doing. They were enthusiastic about their leadership."
Most of all, Rumsfeld said, they understand what the new Iraq is all about, and want to be part of it despite the dangers they will face. "Let there be no doubt that there have been a lot of Iraqi police men and women killed in the last six (to) eight months," he noted. "And they're aware of that." Rumsfeld said Ahmed Ibrahim, the Iraqi national police chief, whom the secretary met with during the day, embodies that spirit despite having been shot during a recent raid.
Clearly energized despite a long day that began with a flight from Kuwait early in the morning, Rumsfeld said he gets a lot out of visits like this. "There's just no substitute for it," he said. "The meetings I've had, and the opportunities I've had to talk to the troops and to say 'thank you' to them, the calibration I've gotten from the people here on the ground, the calibration I very likely have provided them from my perspective is all critically important in linking what's going on here to the president of the United States and the government of the United States."
In the last stop of his Baghdad visit, Rumsfeld told the troops at the dining hall how happy he was to be with them and how important their work is to the world. "As I travel around the country, I can tell you that the people are appreciative of you," the secretary said. "They are grateful to you for being all volunteers people who have put your hands up and said, 'I want to be a part of this.'"
He told the troops that in a visit to South Korea two months ago, a journalist asked him why South Koreans should go halfway around the world and risk their lives in Iraq. That very question was being debated that day in the country's parliament.
Rumsfeld impressed upon the Baghdad troops how South Korea, in stark contrast to North Korea, is a vigorous and prosperous country with a vibrant democracy, a free press and a booming economy. Rumsfeld said he told the journalist to look out the window and compare South Korea with its neighbor to the north, then to ponder that Americans had come halfway across the globe and had given their lives 50 years ago to help make their success and prosperity possible.
"And 50 years from now, people are going to look back on what you've done here," he told the troops in Baghdad, and know that they were part of what then will be a free and flourishing Iraq.

Everything is done except for the baking... seven o'clock bedtime sounds good to me tonight!
Apartment Farm - the chronicles of my cooking, gardening, crafting and other such things.
Dragging today, but some progress:
- checked transactions with our banks online, transferred some money to DS2
- swept some slushy mucous off our car
- took my mother to a medical appointment
- purged a few books and some clothes
- hunted through my button box for black buttons I don't have
- packed up and froze some leftovers for DH's lunches
- made kielbasa cabbage soup for dinner
- purged a bunch of recipe clippings that I don't and won't use
- spent way too much time trying to figure out substitute proportions of gelatin / flour for thickening -- anyone?
- threw a quick dinner together for DS2
- kept the fire going
- kept the sink empty
Still want to:
- make DS2 some shepherd's pie; he's nocturnal on breaks, and I want some easy-to-heat comfort food for him
- do some needlework
Empty-nesting SAHM to DS1 (1989), DS2 (1992), and an overachieving mother (1930). Married to DH since 1986.
Um, so work was a cluster of doom. The fact that I had the willpower to do anything else at all today is at miracle level. And part of me feels like a complete idiot for saying that, because I just got a promotion (which I should be grateful for without the complaining) and I totally knew what I was getting myself into. But my god, this adjustment period is hard! I still have my old job stuff, plus some new things I have to learn for my new role, and it's just A LOT happening at once. But I digress...
- Stopped at Carsons and used a gift card to buy myself some new yoga pants since husband bought me a 10 card for yoga classes at our park district as part of my Christmas present. So excited about it - it's something I've been wanting to do, but have found every excuse under the sun not to sign up myself.
- Stopped at Old Navy for new shirts - got half a dozen long-sleeved t-shirts, which I can either wear to yoga, or dress up for the office with cardigans and jewelry. Win! Also found a cute pair of deer earrings on clearance. I have a thing for woodland animals.
- Spent some time reading Saveur magazine with Little Man (his request - we might have a little foodie in the making).
- Poured myself a glass of wine.
- Worked for an hour (groan...).
And now I will finish my wine and read my new magazines for a short while and be in bed by 10! Yay - go me!
How's everyone else faring?
Apartment Farm - the chronicles of my cooking, gardening, crafting and other such things.
Today I finally made it out of bed, she was SO RESTLESS. I'm guessing teeth, but not sure.
Read my Bible
Hung out in Pinterest, found a recipe for Thieves oil, SCORE.
Checked emails
Made most of a cheese ball for the family get together next door tonight
Cleaned the kitchen before and after
Finally talked to my Mom this week
Took a shower
Got the girl down for a nap
Still Need To
Finish the cheese ball
Give her a bath
Fix my hair and makeup
Throw my stuff to take with together
Pay til Ana or I drop. Likely before 8. Hehe
Frequent Auto Correct Victim.
Loving the (mostly) organic country life as a SAHWM . Married to my hubby since '08, Ana born at home 11/5, Nathaniel born at home in the water 07/15
Hahahaha - I know! And now I'm tired! Husband and I are watching the Winter Classic hockey game on tv while Little Man naps, and it's the perfect winter day - it's snowing tons, the Christmas decorations are still up and it's all warm and cozy.
Nonetheless, did a few things -
- Made beans and franks for lunch.
- Ordered some things online from Victoria's Secret with a gift card husband got me for Christmas.
- Read through my deals blogs.
- Printed some coupons.
Going to clip and organize my coupons for grocery shopping tomorrow while watching the game. And after Little Man is up from his nap, I think we're all going to bundle up and go play in the snow for a little while - it's super cold so we'll probably only stay out for 15-20 minutes, but enough for a tour around on the sled. Then hot chocolate and cookies to warm us back up!

As the UN General Assembly begins its meeting today in New York City, Amnesty International is delivering 187,563 signatures to the White House in a global call to cut off weapons that fuel abuses in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
Tag Archives: war crimes
What is the UN Saying on Syria?
Yesterday, I joined the team at Sky News Arabia for a live discussion of the latest report on Syria by an independent UN panel. Special thanks to Sky News producer Arwa Sawan, reporter Joseph Khawly, and anchor Amer Abdel Aziz for giving Amnesty International USA an opportunity to share our analysis of the grave human rights situation.
The report (PDF) is a catalog of violence, suffering, and geopolitical developments, focusing on events between January 15th and May 15th of this year. It was produced by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic, established by the UN Human Rights Council in 2011.
One Palestinian Village Obama Should Visit
Yesterday morning, US President Barack Obama arrived in Israel to much fanfare. He has said that he has come to listen. One place he should start is the Palestinian village of Nabi Saleh, located in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
I visited Nabi Saleh last week as part of an Amnesty International research mission to the West Bank. The village sits atop a hill, facing the illegal Israeli settlement Halamish. The settlers of Halamish, like so many other Israeli settlers in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT), are backed by the lethal force of the Israeli army.
For protesting against the settlement, the residents of Nabi Saleh have paid a heavy price. I spoke with village resident Bassem Tamimi, a man who Amnesty International previously declared a prisoner of conscience when he was imprisoned by Israel for involvement in peaceful protests. During Bassem's most recent jail term, his brother-in-law Rushdi Tamimi, 31, was shot by Israeli soldiers at another protest in November 2012 and died days later in a hospital. In December 2011, another member of the village, Mustafa Tamimi, died after being hit in the face by a tear gas canister fired at close range from an Israeli military jeep.
The "Terminator," War Crimes, and the Obama Administration: All Roads Lead to Rome
As news breaks about the surrender of the "Terminator," Bosco Ntaganda, to the United States embassy in Kigali today, the US State Department was quick to note that it "strongly support[s] the ICC and their investigations on the atrocities committed in the DRC." Further, Ambassador Stephen Rapp, head of the Office of Global Criminal Justice, tweeted "Bosco #Ntaganda surrenders in #Rwanda and asks to the taken to the #ICC. We are helping to facilitate his transfer."
This development, and the U.S. administration's quick signaling of its intent to adhere to obligations to transfer Ntaganda to the court to answer charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity is welcome, and encouraging. Thus, I will not start with the call that "the US should take all steps to ensure the speedy transfer of Ntaganda to The Hague."
#Shabhag and the Complexities of International Justice
Since February 5, there have been a series of large protests across Bangladesh coupled with violent counter-demonstrations. The protests were in response to the sentences given to Abdul Quader Mollah, a leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami party. He received life in prison for his role in "beheading a poet, raping an 11-year old girl and shooting 344 people" during the 1971 Liberation War. The protesters are demanding that Mollah be executed for his role in the 1971 massacres. We are calling for the government to resist such pressure. Meanwhile the Jamaat-e-Islami has been implicated in acts of violence against minority religious shrines in the southern part of the country.
Mali Intervention Called a Success…Corpses of Civilians Poisoning Wells.
For background information on the French intervention and human rights situation in Mali, see here.
The French Defense Minister on Thursday said publicly that the "French intervention has succeeded." Insofar as armed opposition and armed Islamist groups have either abandoned areas in the north of the country or tactically retreated—and this is a measure of success—that statement may be true.
Also released Thursday were initial findings from a ten day research mission in Mali by Amnesty International. In an unfortunate confirmation of the realization of Amnesty International's fears raised in December, the findings from this mission tell of the executions and disappearances of civilians, arbitrary arrests, beatings and ill-treatment, inter alia.
Aleppo: Why We Should Be Alarmed
News reports coming out of Aleppo paint a grim picture of the confrontation between opposition fighters and the Syrian armed forces, who are describing this as the "decisive battle". If the past 16 months are any indication, we have to brace ourselves for a new wave of human rights violations, as well as grave breaches of international humanitarian law. As has been extensively documented by Amnesty International and others, the atrocities committed in Syria have steadily continued to climb.
For example, one of my colleagues who recently returned from Aleppo, documented crimes we believe amount to crimes against humanity. Her reporting from late May describes how government security forces and the notorious government-backed shabiha militias routinely used live fire against peaceful demonstrations in Aleppo, killing and injuring protesters and bystanders, including children, and hunting down the wounded, the medics who treated them, and opposition activists. SEE THE REST OF THIS POST
#DemandJustice: The Website War Criminals Don't Want You To Share
Six years ago, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for Congolese warlord Bosco Ntaganda. Today, the effect of the failure to arrest him can be seen in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where he and other members of armed groups remain free to commit further human rights violations against civilians.
The DRC is one of several situations featured on our new Demand Justice website. It was launched on International Justice Day earlier this week in order to provide us with a more powerful tool to mobilize activists around the globe to bring Bosco Ntaganda and others to trial.
If convicted war criminals, such as Thomas Lubanga Dyilo had a Twitter account, he probably would not share our new site. If war crimes suspects Joseph Kony and Omar al-Bashir were active on Facebook, they would hardly "Like" our Fugitives from International Justice infographic. Why not?
5 Steps Forward, 5 Steps Back: Catching and Convicting War Criminals
Today, supporters of human rights mark the Global Day for International Justice, an anniversary the need for which makes 'celebration' difficult, if not impossible. A cursory look over last year of developments as it relates to securing justice for the most egregious of crimes—war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide—might yield cause for optimism, however.
Five Steps Forward for Justice
- Over the last year, following a UN Security Council referral of Libya, the International Criminal Court (ICC) found reasonable grounds for issuing arrest warrants for top Libyan officials, even as conflict was ongoing, demonstrating the ability and importance of the court in active crises.
- The ICC saw the first verdict and sentence handed down as Thomas Lubanga answered for conscription of children in devastating conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
- Also over the last year, Laurent Gbagbo, the former head of state of Cote d'Ivoire, became the first head of state to be surrendered to the ICC for alleged crimes, only one week after his indictment.
- At the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia, Ratko Mladic finally faces prosecution for alleged war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide for the largest mass murder in Europe since the end of World War II.
- The first conviction of a former head of state since the Nuremburg trials, as my colleague Angela Chang describes, was a historic step for international justice.
Child Soldiers, Rape, Displacement: Is Mali A Forgotten Crisis?
I am sure that many of you have recently heard or read about the armed conflicts and humanitarian crises in Syria and the Sudan (the latter thanks to some serious attention from celebrity actors and journalists). Less attention is being given to a country that is facing its worst human rights crisis in half a century: Mali.
The regional organization ECOWAS has been very invested in mitigating the crisis and is even preparing to send in troops. While these regional efforts are backed by the United States and other international actors, Mali's crisis is not getting the attention it deserves and rarely makes the headlines.

Quote cozzies Biggest fan: on your billie comment about being pregnant TRUST ME IT COULD HAPPEN they did it with belle and she slept with shawn and phil about 6 months before she got preggers DAYS IS SO OUT THERE but i love it anyways
but then again belle was only pregnant for like 3 months then she gave birth.
and maybe thell make it possible that billie finds out shes pregnant when nick and chelsea arent there. but it doesnt matter i hope she has a miscarriage i no thats a horrible thinng to hope on a character but lets think about this this baby was a mistake of billie's the way she played with nicks mind so that he would sleep with her. i just want nick and chelsea to be happy.
Great spoilers. Please be careful about copying and pasting spoilers from other sites though. We don't want to infringe on their copyright.
Quote Audd: I feel the good ol' days returning, I love anything pertaining to the DiMera's, I hope the majority of the storylines are true, except the rape stories. I think it is too hard for the women who have been raped to watch.
Bring on Stefano...I love that villian...he is my favorite bad guy (ok, I think EJ is a hot little villian, lol)
I SO AGREE with you, Audd! I love all the DiMera intrigue!
I am so not looking forward to Stephanie and Chelsea getting attacked . Although it is make-believe, it really bums me out when a character gets raped . And not one, but two characters will be raped ?! To me, that sounds like a JERk s/l!
I think the writers put the rapes in because the sami/ej raped played out so well with the ratings but you get too many and people will be turned off
yeah they should no that rape is a sensative subject hopefully they have a happy ending after all because this is crazy but i am definately tuning in this summer. i actually cried when i found out chelsea was goin to be raped.
I could do without another rape on the show.
Days is a very good show. Very well written. I do believe that the writers listen to the viewers and give the viewers what they want. That's good TV. It takes the viewers to boost the ratings and if you have happy viewers, it's all good. Days have better s/l's than some of the other shows that are rated higher. I really don't believe the ratings because one of the other shows I watch is just horrible, every s/l is absolutely dreadful - not a bright spot anywhere. On Days even the villians were loved - Stephano and Tony. I can't stand EJ or Kate. One thing though is it too late to squash the rapes? Wow, I just abhor rape scenes. Are we getting so desensitized that we're taking this rape thing so callously? Just kidnap the young women and hold them at gunpoint or something. Even though I don't like Stephanie's character, I don't wish rape on her. Perhaps she can be slapped around a bit, get some sense knocked into her. I really don't want poor Chelsea to get raped. Bummer. Looking forward to seeing Tony, Steph and Lexie. I hope Steph brings some order to the unruly EJ and that bumbling Dr. Rebert - what a jackass. If Rebert is a DiMeara, he should be made to take DiMeara 101. Tony and Steph are smooth. EJ and Rebert are too brass. Don't like either. Looking forward to more good shows.
NO good spoilers on Belle and Shawn finally getting Claire away from Phillip!!! I hope the spoiler that Belle will be pregnant with Shawn's baby does happen.

Update: random.org has chosen Marshall as the winner. Marshall, you should have received an email from me. And as always, thanks everyone for entering!
This may seem like something of a random choice, but it's a tangential tie-in to President's Day. The Man in the High Castle is a dystopic alternate history science fiction book by Philip K. Dick, in which the alternate world diverges from our own when President Roosevelt is assassinated in 1933. So there's your Presidents' Day tie-in, see? Sure.
Mostly, it's because this is an incredible book. I have read it at least five times, and it blows my mind every time. Arguably Dick's best work, this intricate novel posits a world in which the Axis won WWII, slavery was never abolished, and (as you might expect from a Philip K. Dick novel) nothing is what it seems.
To be entered to win, leave a comment on this post. The drawing will be held Tuesday evening (Pacific time). The winner can choose between the trade paperback (shipped directly from Amazon), Kindle version, or the ebook version of your choice. Non-U.S. residents ARE eligible!

ConsumerLab reported this week that it found a high level of lead contamination in a Green Energy powder called All Day Energy Greens They found 6.0 mcg of lead in a single 10.6 g scoop, which is one serving. This is many times higher than the California Proposition 65 daily limit per serving of o.5 mcg per daily serving. They tested it because a woman reported on their Facebook page that she was experiencing high blood pressure and shakiness while she was on the product. Elevations in blood lead levels have been associated with elevations in blood pressure, especially in postmenopausal women. Keep in mind that there was no caffeine or related stimulants found in the product. This lead level also places the product right on the edge of the FDA's daily total lead intake for children.
Now, just so you know, it is the oh so natural green powders, and herbal products that usually have the highest lead levels. People were very concerned over the heavy metals found in whey products report by Consumer Reports a while ago: http://www.gustrength.com/supplements:heavy-metals-in-protein-shakes
...but this is nothing compared to the kinds of levels found in green powder products, and also things like glucosamine arthritis supplements. Read the thread I just linked for tons of insight and information.
ConsumerLab has reported even higher levels in other green powder products in the past. Such as Inner Light SuperGreens, with over twice the level per serving as this other one above. There was also 4.3 mcg of lead found in Nature's Way Alive! Whole Food Energizer UltraShake Vanilla, plus 12.8 mcg cadmium per serving.
The point of this posts not to get anyone worried about green powders, however. In general, they're going to be fine. What is important, is that you realize that you cannot escape lead exposure. You are going to be ingesting lead from all sorts of food sources, and water, on a daily basis. So, what you have to keep in mind is that when one serving of a supplement gets you above the California levels, or the FDA levels, that in itself doesn't mean you are "poisoned." But, you have to consider all the other daily exposure, which, when added to this one serving, places you at great risk if you continue to consume it. All this background exposure can be considered "normal" exposure, but when it's added to this one spike of "abnormal" exposure, it's getting to be too much.
Another product I reported on in the past was the Vita Breath supplement: http://www.gustrength.com/forum/t-245560/vita-breath-supplement-10-000-times-fdas-max-lead-level-for

For as long as NieRonn Miles can remember, he has strived to be different.
On the basketball court, he is typically one of the first players noticed since he wears a pair of bright neon yellow Nike Hyperdunk shoes. Off the court, he wants to be a sign language interpreter.
"I got to stand out somehow and get noticed," the Prince George's Community College men's basketball team's starting sophomore point guard said. "A lot of the guys are good, so you got to be something different.
"As for sign language, if basketball doesn't work out, I want to be an interpreter. I mean, there's no one in my family or friends that are deaf. In high school, everyone took Spanish and I always wanted to be different — just like my shoes — so I kind of fell in love with sign language and helping people out."
This winter, Miles, who was not recruited by a four-year college scholarship program when he graduated from Eleanor Roosevelt High School in 2011, has helped lead the Owls (18-10 record) to the No. 1 seed in Friday and Saturday's National Junior College Athletic Association Division III Region 20 tournament in Pittsburgh. Last season, PGCC was just one victory shy of a berth in the national tournament.
"NieRonn's been the catalyst for everything we do, especially the second half of the year," said PGCC coach Xavier Joyner, who favors an up-tempo offense and a 40-minute full-court press. "Every team is only as good as your point guard and he has set the tone in terms of getting the tempo going and putting guys in the right position.
"Kids like NieRonn, who won a region championship in high school, are the type of kids we want to recruit. We knew that he was well-coached and had good habits coming from Roosevelt."
The vast majority of PGCC's roster is filled with student-athletes from Prince George's or Montgomery counties and Washington, D.C. Some enroll at PGCC directly out of high school while others transfer from another college or university. And almost every member of the program — after two years — signs with a four-year Division I or II school.
Miles' (14.6 points per game, 8.5 assists, 5.5. rebounds) success this winter has resulted in a couple of Division I offers, including one from Kennesaw (Ga.) State.
Meanwhile, Tyler Logan, Miles' good friend, starting backcourt mate and former high school opponent (Charles H. Flowers), is in a slightly different situation. Last year, Logan was a freshman at Frostburg State, but the team and school were not a good fit for him. So he moved back home after the season, reopened his basketball recruitment and enrolled at PGCC.
"It's great to be back in the area because I knew a lot of guys on the team like NieRonn," said Logan, who played with Miles prior to ninth grade on Roosevelt's summer league team. "[At PGCC], we got a lot of the same interests and hang out with each other outside of practice. We laugh and joke and reminiscence about what it was like when we played each other in high school. But not too much about when [Roosevelt beat Flowers in the 2011 4A West Region final] when we were seniors."
Logan, who is the Owls' leading scorer (16.0 points per game), has since received a handful Division II offers, including one from the New York Institute of Technology.
"Tyler and NieRonn are both really nice guards," Joyner, the former Montgomery College, Germantown coach, said. "Both shoot a high percentage and can take defenders off the dribble. So teams can't play zone or man against them.
"Those two are just examples of what we love to do. We help them mature as people and also help develop them into scholarship players. In my two years here, we've had over 14 guys get full rides, and potentially 21 after this year."
Logan and Miles both point to a victory against the Allegany College of Maryland on Jan. 30 as a game that defined their tenure at PGCC. Miles (29) and Logan (28) combined to score 57 of their team's 83 points.
"We were on and just couldn't be stopped," Miles said.
PGCC started the 2012-13 season slowly, but after at trip to Florida for a couple of games in early January, the Owls began to play better. Since, they've won 12 of their 13 games and hope to win a national championship later this month.
"That was the turning point when we all realized how much better we would play," Miles said. "For me and Tyler, the chemistry was always half there since we knew each other. It was just a matter of getting it all there.
"Now, all we want to do is win a national championship. ... That will definitely be different."

While the toxicology reports are still inconclusive, authorities have released additional details about the drugs found in DJ AM's system the night he died. The DJ, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, was found next to a crack pipe and was thought to have smoked an unknown amount of crack the night of his death, but new reports have revealed that in addition to crack, nine OxyContin pills were also in his system. It appears that he ingested eight of the prescription pills and fell unconscious before swallowing the ninth. This incredibly disturbing fact seems to raise the question of an intentional OD, but it is still considered an accidental death as of now. When paramedics arrived to his apartment, both the front door and bedroom door were barricaded and had to be broken down.
Friends and family continue to mourn the loss of Goldstein, whose body has been flown to L.A. for burial. A memorial service will be held tomorrow at the Hollywood Palladium. [Photo: Getty Images]

Yvette Huff says her son, 11-year-old Marlo Andrews, became ill after eating styrofoam at the North Education Center in New Hope in February.
Andrews has been diagnosed with ADHD and autism and needs constant supervision as he routinely puts things in his mouth.
After the styrofoam incident, Huff says she found rubber and plastic in his diaper. A trip to the hospital also revealed Andrews had consumed a piece of hardware.
The State Department of Education launched an investigation which Huff says resulted in the school letting go an employee.
Neither the school nor the state would confirm or deny whether an employee is no longer with the school as a result of the investigation.
However, Huff says the investigation is incomplete. She says the investigation focused only on the styrofoam and not the rubber, plastic, or hardware Andrews consumed. She's calling on the state to be more thorough.
Attorneys not involved with the matter tell 5 Eyewitness News the school may be liable for Andrews' $23,000 hospital stay and any future related medical costs if it's determined he was not properly supervised.
The school well respected and was specifically designed to help special needs students like Andrews.

Hi my Name is
DOB: January 2007
Gender: Male
Size: 40lbs approx
My Behavior:
This fluffy little lion lookalike is an obvious Chow Chow mix. Jasper is such a loving little guy and is fully of energy. He lives for walks but also enjoys laying around his kingdom aka your livingroom. Dumped at a local shelter by his owner, they just couldn't appreciate the history of this breed as it was treated as royalty in the country of China. Poor Jasper doesn't feel that way now. He needs a real palace of his own and a place where someone recognizes what a special emperor he truly is.

Join the Smart brigade and protect your war memorial
Posted: December 05, 2011|
COMMUNITIES in Notts can play their part in protecting war memorials from vandalism.
Notts County Council wants groups, parish and town councils to get their memorials marked with SmartWater.
The liquid can be used by police to help trace metal if it is stolen from a memorial.
It is estimated that across the UK, one memorial a week, on average, is targeted by thieves intent on stealing bronze, copper or other metal to sell for scrap.
Councillor Richard Butler, the county council's cabinet member for environment, said: "War memorials are an important focal point in our communities and are a crucial reminder of the sacrifice of those who lost their lives for their country.
"SmartWater is a simple and effective way of helping to protect metal plaques on memorials which mark particular wars or list the names of local people who have lost their lives in war."
The council has spent £364,500 on 23 projects to restore and create war memorials in Notts since 2006.
War memorials in the county may be eligible for free SmartWater marking as part of the In Memoriam 2014 scheme, which is being is offered by the War Memorials Trust working in partnership with the SmartWater Foundation. The partnership is working towards the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War in 2014 and wants to offer greater protection to memorials.

By not dealing with outrage effectively, every business, organisation and industry is putting itself at the mercy of activists, the media, politicians and regulators.
Most businesses and industries struggle to deal with criticism and negative public attention. Although they wish the voices of activists, the media or the community would just go away, they constantly find themselves powerless to stop outrage from growing, no matter what they say or do.
Often, they don't understand what they're doing to cause such outrage and what exactly the problem seems to be. They end up choosing to ignore their "irrational" critics or discredit them with technical information and expert testimony, making them even more angry and determined to get themselves heard.
All the while, the public watches on and picks its side. Predictably, the public supports the "good guys". Invariably, businesses and industries are the "bad guys".
When businesses or industries find themselves besieged by outrage, they become vulnerable to political and regulatory forces. Control over their future is ripped straight from their hands and placed squarely in those of politicians and regulators forced to respond to the public's concerns.

Albert Pujols and the St. Louis Cardinals remain deadlocked in talks on a new contract.
USA Today, citing an anonymous "source close to Pujols," reported Sunday that Pujols rejected the Cardinals' most recent offer and will announce Tuesday that he is ending negotiations until after the season. Pujols has said he does not want contract discussions to be a distraction to him or his teammates once he reports to spring training on Wednesday.
ESPN and FOXSports.com reported Sunday that Pujols turned down the offer two weeks ago, although Cardinals officials told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch "as recently as 10 days ago" that no formal offer had yet been made.
USA Today's source said Pujols, who can become a free agent after the season, wants a 10-year contract. Other reports have said Pujols is seeking an average annual salary of $30 million. USA Today's report did not contain any contract terms.
Also Sunday, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Pujols' agent, Dan Lozano, has told other teams that the Cardinals have "no chance to sign" Pujols before Pujols becomes a free agent. The P-D cited an anonymous NL executive with a National League club.
The leak of Pujols' rejection comes after both sides scrupulously avoided on-the-record comments about negotiations. St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak told the Post-Dispatch on Saturday that negotiations were entering a "sensitive" stage. Mozeliak had no comment on the report when contacted by the newspaper on Sunday night.
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa told reporters Sunday that he expects Pujols to block out the prospect of playing without a new deal.
"I know Albert. He's as strong between the ears as anybody I've ever met," La Russa said at the Cardinals' spring training facility in Jupiter, Fla., according to the Post-Dispatch.
La Russa also said Pujols won't bow to pressure by the players association to extract the maximum amount of dollars from the Cardinals.
"He's not going to listen to the union or his representatives more than he listens to the man upstairs and his family," La Russa said, according to the Post-Dispatch. "That can be unfair, putting a player in that position. It happens on every team, every year and I have never appreciated that. There should be an acknowledgement about the best situation and it's not always dollars."
La Russa acknowledged the Pujols situation could be used as a "spectacular" excuse if the Cardinals play poorly this season. He told the Post-Dispatch he and the team "won't allow" it to be a distraction.

VNC is remote control software which allows you to view and fully interact with one computer desktop (the "VNC server") using a simple program (the "VNC viewer") on another computer desktop anywhere on the Internet. The two computers don't even have to be the same type, so for example you can use VNC to view a Windows Vista desktop at the office on a Linux or Mac computer at home. For ultimate simplicity, there is even a Java viewer, so that any desktop can be controlled remotely from within a browser without having to install software.

ive created a graphic logo.... would a trademark or a copyright be best for this?
i read that if you have a company slogan or a unique company name you should trademark it ...but how about a graphic design logo?
why would someone pick a copyright over a trademark it seems like a trademark is more comprehensive? someone correct me if im wrong please

Copyright protection gives you a whole slew of protections. Plus, it lasts the entire life of the copyright owner, plus an additional 70 years. Benefit of copyright is that it's ridiculously simple to obtain one.
A trademark is a symbol used by a person in commerce to indicate the source of the goods/service. Your graphic logo could also fall under trademark if it identifies a company that sells a good or service. Some examples of companies that have trademarked logos: Apple (both the name and the bitten apple), Coca-Cola, Nike (both the name and the swoosh), and eBay.
However, unlike copyright, you have to register a trademark. There are a variety of steps involved and the application costs money. Then on top of that, you have to enforce your trademark, otherwise you run the risk of losing your trademark.

You could have easily discovered the difference between "copyrighting" something and "trademarking" something simply by looking up what those words actually mean in either a dictionary or the online equivalent thereof. Or Wikipedia for that matter.
Indeed, I typed in "what's the difference between copyright and trademark" into Google and look what happened:
What Is the Difference Between a Copyright, Trademark, and Patent?
Whaddya know. First hit. Followed by 30 more just like it.

If this is for a business and you're serious about protecting it, consult an intellectual property attorney.
The rules vary by jurisdiction and the best option may depend on what the logo is as well as how it's used and what industry you're in. They can also keep you out of trouble trying to register something that can't be protected.
In the end, relying on an answer someone gives you here in this forum for something like trademarking or copywriting your IP isn't really smart.

thanks for your very sarcastic and facetious "help".
your article is pretty much the same as every other article ive read online...
it's completely overlapping and vague.
they say with a copyright u can write an article and copyright your writing, but it wont prevent someone from writing about the same subject.
so contrarily if you were to trademark your article does that mean nobody else can write about the same subject?
it also says if you register a trademark for a logo/name for a certain product it cannot prevent other companies from making that same product under a different name.....
so contrarily if you were to copyright your logo/name does that meananother company can make the same product under a different name but with the same logo?
I feel like these articles are written to generate ad dollars for the hosting site by people who search for "copyright vs trademark" and are not actually deisgned to help people.... the articles are not really clear & still leaves many many many gray areas..
thats why i posted on the forum.
if everyone used google instead of posting on the forums there would be no forum have you ever thought about that?

Thank you very very much for your insightful post!
Since ur a law student maybe you will know the answer to this...
1.) you say "A trademark is a symbol used by a person in commerce to indicate the source of the goods/service" ....doesnt a copyright fall under this definition as well? if i copyright my logo doesn't this indicate that this logo is mine and won't a copyright prevent other companies or people from replicating my logo or anything that even bears resemblance to my logo to sell their products?
2.) are you saying that copyright cannot be used in commerce? in short is trademark for = a big company and copyright= a small company???
Im still very confused if you can clear this up for me because it still seems to me that there is alot of overlap

If you're only 18 and don't have enough for a lawyer, I'm going to go out on a limb and say whatever it is you're trying to do is probably not worth the time or trouble at this point to go through the hassle.
If your idea is so wonderful that it is worth it, find someone to invest money for you to see a lawyer.
