Hissène Habré (Chadian Arabic: حسين حبري [hiˈsɛn ˈhabre]; born 13 September 1942), also spelled Hissen Habré, is a former Chadian dictator who was the leader of Chad from 1982 until he was deposed in 1990.
Habré was born in 1942 in Faya-Largeau, northern Chad, then a colony of France. He was born into a family of shepherds. He is a member of the Anakaza branch of the Daza ethnic group, which is itself a branch of the Toubou ethnic group.[1] After primary schooling, he obtained a post in the French colonial administration, where he impressed his superiors and gained a scholarship to study in France, at the Institute of Overseas Higher Studies in Paris. He completed a university degree in political science in Paris, and returned to Chad in 1971. He also obtained several other degrees and earned his Doctorate from the Institute. After a further brief period of government service as a deputy prefect,[2] he visited Tripoli and joined the National Liberation Front of Chad (FROLINAT) where he became a commander in the Second Liberation Army of FROLINAT along with Goukouni Oueddei. After Abba Siddick assumed the leadership of FROLINAT, the Second Liberation Army, first under Oueddei's command and then under Habré's, split from FROLINAT and became the Command Council of the Armed Forces of the North (CCFAN). In 1976 Oueddei and Habré quarreled and Habré split his newly named Armed Forces of the North (Forces Armées du Nord or FAN) from Goukouni's followers who adopted the name of People's Armed Forces (Forces Armées Populaires or FAP). Both FAP and FAN operated in the extreme north of Chad, drawing their fighters from the Toubou nomadic people.
Habré first came to international attention when a group under his command attacked the town of Bardaï in Tibesti, on 21 April 1974, and took three Europeans hostage, with the intention of ransoming them for money and arms. The captives were a German physician, Dr. Christoph Staewen (whose wife Elfriede was killed in the attack), and two French citizens, Françoise Claustre, an archeologist, and Marc Combe, a development worker. Staewen was released on 11 June 1974 after significant payments by West German officials.[3][4][5] Combe escaped in 1975, but despite the intervention of the French Government, Claustre (whose husband was a senior French government official) was not released until 1 February 1977. Habré split with Oueddei, partly over this hostage-taking incident (which became known as the "Claustre affair" in France).[2]
On 29 August 1978, Habré was given the post of prime minister of Chad, replacing Félix Malloum in that position; Malloum had been both prime minister and president since 1975. Habré's term as prime minister ended, however, a year later, when Malloum's government ended. Elections brought Goukouni Oueddei to the presidency.
Habré deposed Oueddei in a coup on 7 June 1982, and the FAN leader became president; the post of prime minister was abolished. There followed a period of turmoil.[citation needed]
Habré seized power in Chad and ruled from 1982 until he was deposed in 1990 by Idriss Déby. Habré's one-party régime, like many others before his, was characterized by widespread human rights abuses and atrocities. He denies killing and torturing tens of thousands of his opponents although in 2012, the UN's International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Senegal to put him on trial or extradite him to face justice overseas.[6]
Following his rise to power, Habré created a secret police force known as the Documentation and Security Directorate (DDS), under which his opponents were tortured and executed.[citation needed] Some methods of torture commonly used by the DDS included: burning with incandescent objects; spraying of gas into the eyes, ears, and nose; forced swallowing of water; and forcing the mouths of detainees around the exhaust pipes of running cars.[7] Habré's government periodically engaged in ethnic cleansing against groups such as the Sara, Hadjerai and the Zaghawa, killing and arresting group members in masses when it perceived that their leaders posed a threat to the regime.[citation needed]
Habré fled to Senegal after being overthrown in 1990. He was placed under house arrest in 2005 until his arrest in 2013. He is accused of war crimes and torture during his eight years in power in Chad, where rights groups say that some 40,000 people were killed under his rule.[8] Human Rights Watch claims that 1,200 were killed and 12,000 were tortured, and a domestic Chadian commission of inquiry claims that as many as 40,000 were killed and that over 200,000 were subjected to torture. Human Rights Watch later dubbed Habré "Africa's Pinochet."[9][10][11]
Libya invaded Chad in July 1980, occupying and annexing the Aozou Strip. The United States and France responded by aiding Chad in an attempt to contain Libya's regional ambitions under Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi.[citation needed]
Civil war deepened. On 15 December 1980, Libya occupied all of northern Chad, but Habré defeated Libyan troops and drove them out in November 1981. In 1983, Libyan troops occupied all of the country north of Koro Toro. The United States used a clandestine base in Chad to train captured Libyan soldiers whom it was organizing into an anti-Gaddafi force.[citation needed]
Habré's aid from the USA and France helped him to win the war against Gaddafi's Libya.[citation needed] The Libyan occupation of the north of Koro Toro ended when Habré defeated him in 1987. By that time, the war was beginning to end, and had ended by 1988.
Despite this victory, Habré's government was weak, and strongly opposed by members of the Zaghawa ethnic group. A rebel offensive in November 1990, which was led by Idriss Déby, a Zaghawa former army commander who had participated in a plot against Habré in 1989 and subsequently fled to Sudan, defeated Habré's forces. The French chose not to assist Habré on this occasion, allowing him to be ousted; it is possible that they actively aided Déby. Explanation and speculation regarding the reasons for France's abandonment of Habré include the adoption of a policy of non-interference in intra-Chadian conflicts, dissatisfaction with Habré's unwillingness to move towards multiparty democracy, and favoritism by Habré towards American rather than French companies with regard to oil development. Habré fled to Cameroon, and the rebels entered N'Djamena on 2 December 1990; Habré subsequently went into exile in Senegal.[12]
The United States and France supported Habré, seeing him as a bulwark against the Gaddafi government in neighboring Libya. Under President Ronald Reagan, the United States gave covert CIA paramilitary support to help Habré take power and remained one of Habré's strongest allies throughout his rule, providing his regime with massive amounts of military aid.[13] The United States also used a clandestine base in Chad to train captured Libyan soldiers whom it was organizing into an anti-Qaddafi force.[14]
"The CIA was so deeply involved in bringing Habré to power I can't conceive they didn't know what was going on," said Donald Norland, U.S. ambassador to Chad from 1979 to 1981. "But there was no debate on the policy and virtually no discussion of the wisdom of doing what we did."[15]
Documents obtained by Human Rights Watch show that the United States provided Habré's DDS with training, intelligence, arms, and other support despite knowledge of its atrocities. Records discovered in the DDS' meticulous archives describe training programs by American instructors for DDS agents and officials, including a course in the United States that was attended by some of the DDS' most feared torturers. According to the Chadian Truth Commission, the United States also provided the DDS with monthly infusions of monetary aid and financed a regional network of intelligence networks code-named "Mosaic" that Chad used to pursue suspected opponents of Habré's regime even after they fled the country.[14][citation needed]
In the summer of 1983, when Libya invaded northern Chad and threatened to topple Habré, France sent 3,000 paratroops with air support, while the Reagan administration provided two AWACS electronic surveillance planes to coordinate air cover. By 1987 Gaddafi's forces had retreated.[citation needed]
"Habré was a remarkably able man with a brilliant sense of how to play the outside world," a former senior U.S. official said. "He was also a bloodthirsty tyrant and torturer. It is fair to say we knew who and what he was and chose to turn a blind eye."[15]
Human rights groups hold Habré responsible for the killing of thousands of people, but the exact number is unknown. Killings included massacres against ethnic groups in the south (1984), against the Hadjerai (1987), and against the Zaghawa (1989). Human Rights Watch charged him with having authorized tens of thousands of political murders and physical torture.[16] Habré had been called "the African Pinochet,"[17][18][19] in reference to former Chilean ruler Augusto Pinochet.[17]
Between 1993 and 2003, Belgium had universal jurisdiction legislation (the Belgian War Crimes Law) allowing the most serious violations of human rights to be tried in national as well as international courts, without any direct connection to the country of the alleged perpetrator, victims or where the crimes took place. Despite the repeal of the legislation, investigations against Habré went ahead and in September 2005 he was indicted for crimes against humanity, torture, war crimes and other human rights violations. Senegal, where Habré had been in exile for 17 years,[20] had Habré under nominal house arrest in Dakar.[21]
On 17 March 2006, the European Parliament demanded that Senegal turn over Habré to Belgium to be tried. Senegal did not comply, and it at first refused extradition demands from the African Union which arose after Belgium asked to try Habré. The Chadian Association for the Promotion and Defense of Human Rights expressed its approval of the decision.[22] If he were to be turned over, he would have become the first former dictator to be extradited by a third-party country to stand trial for human rights abuses. In 2007, Senegal set up its own special war-crimes court to try Habré under pressure from the African Union.[20] On 8 April 2008, the National Assembly of Senegal voted to amend the constitution to clear the way for Habré to be prosecuted in Senegal;[23][24] Ibrahima Gueye was appointed as trial coordinator in May 2008. A joint session of the National Assembly and the Senate voted in July 2008 to approve a bill empowering Senegalese courts to try people for crimes committed in other countries and for crimes that were committed more than ten years beforehand; this made it constitutionally possible to try Habré. Senegalese Minister of Justice Madicke Niang appointed four investigative judges on this occasion.[25]
A 2007 movie by director Klaartje Quirijns, The Dictator Hunter, tells the story of the activists Souleymane Guengueng and Reed Brody who led the efforts to bring Habré to trial.[26]
On 15 August 2008, a Chadian court sentenced Habré to death in absentia[27][28] for war crimes and crimes against humanity[27] in connection with allegations that he had worked with rebels inside Chad to oust Déby.[28] François Serres, a lawyer for Habré, criticized this trial on 22 August for unfairness and secrecy.[29] According to Serres, the accusation on which the trial was based was previously unknown and Habré had not received any notification of the trial.[27] 14 victims filed new complaints with a Senegalese prosecutor on 16 September, accusing Habré of crimes against humanity and torture.[30]
The Senegalese government added an amendment in 2008, which would allow Habré to be tried in court. Senegal later changed their position, however, requesting 27 million euros in funding from the international community before going through with the trial. This prompted Belgium to pressure the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to force Senegal to either extradite Habré to Belgium to proceed with the trial. This request was denied by the ICJ.[31]
In November 2010, the court of justice of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) ruled that Senegal could not hold trial in the matter through local court only, and asked for the creation of a special tribunal on the matter of Habré's prosecution. In April 2011, after initial reticence, Senegal agreed to the creation of an ad hoc tribunal in collaboration with the African Union, the Chadian state and with international funding.[32]
Senegal changed their position again however, walking out during discussions on establishing the court on 30 May 2011 without explanation. The African union commission on Habré, in preparation for their next summit on 30 June published a report urging to press Senegal to extradite Habré to Belgium.[33]
On 8 July 2011, Senegal officials announced that Habré would be extradited to Chad on 11 July,[34] but this was subsequently halted.[35] In July 2012, the ICJ ruled that Senegal must start Habré's trial "without delay". Amnesty International called on Senegal to abide by the ICJ's ruling, calling it "a victory for victims that's long overdue".[36] A trial by the International Criminal Court (ICC) was ruled out, because the crimes took place before the ICC was fully established in 2002, and its jurisdiction is limited to events that took place after that date.[37]
In December 2012, the Parliament of Senegal passed a law allowing for the creation of an international tribunal in Senegal to try Habre. The judges of the tribunal would be appointed by the African Union, and come from elsewhere in Africa.[29]
On 30 June 2013, Habré, was arrested in Senegal by the Senegalese police.[38] Chadian President Idriss Deby said of his arrest that it was a step towards "an Africa free of all evil, an Africa stripped of all dictatorships." Senegal's court, set up with the African Union, charged him with crimes against humanity and torture.[39] That year he was also sentenced to death in absentia for crimes against humanity by a Chadian court.[40]
On 20 July 2015 the trial started. Waiting for the trial to open, Habré shouted: "Down with imperialists. [The trial] is a farce by rotten Senegalese politicians. African traitors. Valet of America". After that Habré was taken out of the courtroom and the trial began without him.[41][42] On 21 July 2015 Habré's trial was postponed to 7 September 2015, after his lawyers refused to participate in court.[43][44][45][46]
On 30 May 2016, the Extraordinary African Chambers found Habré guilty of rape, sexual slavery, and ordering the killing of 40,000 people during his tenure as Chadian president and sentenced him to life in prison. The verdict marked the first time an African Union-backed court convicted a former ruler for human rights abuses and the first time that the courts of one country has prosecuted the former ruler of another country for crimes against humanity.[18][47][48][17]
The trial has been suspended until 7 September after Mr Habre and his lawyers refused to speak to the judge.

U.S. Supreme Court
United States v. Shelley, 229 U.S. 239 (1913)
United States v. Shelley
No. 943
Argued April 11, 1913
Decided May 26, 1913
The mere mixing of smoking opium with the residue of opium that has been smoked, and heating the same, is not a manufacture of opium for smoking purpose within the meaning of § 36 of McKinley Tariff Law of October 1, 1890.
Criminal statutes ought not to be extended by construction.
A statute which is primarily designed as a taxing act to raise revenue on, and not one to suppress the manufacture of, a specified article will not be construed so as to subject the same substance more than once to the tax ,or to require surveillance over places where the secondary treatment is conducted as well a over the factory of primary manufacture.
The prohibition against manufacturing smoking opium under § 36 of the Tariff Act of 1890 is not more extensive than the clause taxing the article, and if the article produced is not taxable thereunder, there is no violation thereof in its production.
The facts, which involve the construction of provisions of § 36 of the McKinley Tariff Law in regard to the manufacture of opium, are stated in the opinion.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — The head of the U.N. nuclear agency has arrived in Tehran on a key mission that could lead to the resumption of probes on whether Iran has secretly worked on a nuclear weapon.
International Atomic Energy Agency chief Yukiya Amano and his two aides landed early Monday morning in Iran but where quickly whisked away from the Tehran airport.
They are to meet Iran's top nuclear negotiator, Saeed Jalili, as well as the foreign minister and other Iranian officials later in the day.
The visit is focused on getting Iran to agree to terms that will allow IAEA probes of suspect Iranian sites. Tehran denies having worked on atomic weapons.
Amano's trip comes ahead of another round of nuclear talks between the six world powers and Iran on Wednesday in Baghdad.

A Bargain Hunter's Guide to Shopping in Mumbai
For the seasoned shopaholic, there's nothing more exhilarating than bargain hunting in the sprawling, cosmopolitan city of Mumbai. Whether you're in the market for designer discounts or shabby antique gems, the Hindi expression, sab kuch milega – 'you will get everything' – rings true: Mumbai has it all.
Following a prolific economic history in textile production and export, Mumbai is now a goldmine of factory rejects and outlet stores. The latter concept is still relatively new, but savvy bargain-hunters will only benefit from this amateur market. Head to the eponymous Fashion Street in South Mumbai, where you'll find hundreds of shops and stalls inundated with reject export goods (i.e. minor defects at major discounts). Prepare to do some serious bartering over brand-name clothes, shoes, and accessories, and never agree to pay more than half of what is first offered.
If cutthroat haggling isn't your forte, Linking Road provides a more temperate retail experience with wholesale discounts. Located in the trendy suburb of Bandra, West Mumbai, the street is an intriguing mishmash of fashion trade, as market vendors pitch their wares alongside corresponding brand-name shops. The best bargains will be had at the bazaar, as ever, but some shoppers will prefer to swap and change between the two.
Be careful with those rupees, meanwhile, and don't spend them all at once: discounted international brands are just the tip of the iceberg when shopping in Mumbai. Don't miss the world-renowned antiques store Phillips in Colaba: a veritable treasure-trove of old prints, maps and engravings. Established in 1860, it sells many colonial-era items left behind by the British, including East India Company china and lacquerware, as well as ceremonial wooden masks, Nizam-era royal silver, and various other enticing miscellanea.
Nearby in Colaba Causeway, otherwise known as Colaba Flea, you'll find an eclectic array of market stalls rammed with indiscriminate items of brass, local handicrafts, jewellery, and crystal. This place is always worth a quick rummage, and serves as an effective warm-up for the notorious thrift den that is Chor Bazaar. Don't leave Mumbai without experiencing this.
Famously one of the biggest flea markets in India, Chor Bazaar is located in a dense area of bazaars north of the fort, selling antique and vintage items among piles of trash and treasure. The name, which translates to 'thief market', is generally thought to be a British mispronunciation of the original title Shor Bazaar ('noisy market'), although one can't help wonder where this sheer volume of bric-a-brac came from. Force your way through the chaos down narrow, grimy alleys to unearth some of the best second-hand bargains Mumbai has to offer, with everything from iconic Bollywood posters to authentic Victorian furniture and spare car parts.
Virgin Atlantic operates daily flights to Mumbai. Book your flight today.

I haven't ridden in years. I'm moving to SF in a few months for a job and I'm looking forward to a more outdoorsy culture, and I want to start riding now (currently in Austin, TX).
I went to the LBS and the Kona Dew did impress me. But I rode a couple of others (a Bianchi and something else) and the Dew felt good. But everyone here seems to be only thinking of the Dew Deluxe and not the Dew, and I'm more comfortable with $400 than $600.
Is the Dew itself an accepable bike? Or is it vastly inferior to the Deluxe (which is the vibe that I get on these forums from the searches etc.).
I have no intention of doing hardcore riding, this is more of an introduction to cycling as a hoppy to replace running (which I'm getting bored of).
Any feedback?

I had problems when I exported the routing results from soc encounter to Magic.
In the SoC encounter, after verifying the results, I saved the design as GDS, and read it into Magic. But it said that there were instances as control_VIA0 and control_VIA1, which I think were the generated vias instances. But I don't have these vias defined in Magic, so when I read the stream file in Magic, it said that it cannot find the cell control_VIA0 and control_VIA1.Meanwhile, in the soc encounter, the wires indeed connected to the edge of the cell, but when it was imported into Magic, some wires extended over the edge of the cell, while some did not. I don't know why it happened.Thanks in advance!
Hi Renee,
I don't know anything about Magic, but when you stream an FE gds into Virtuoso, it will create the vias. Maybe there is a switch in Magic you need to set for this to happen?
As for the wire endpoints, I know (at least in the past) that there was a setting in the Virtuoso dfII tech file that controlled half-width extensions. I don't recall the exact name, but again, maybe this is a setting you can check in Magic.

In reply to Kari:
Thank you for your reply!
Now the problem is: in the soc encounter, I checked that no wire extension at pins and all wires just routed to the edge of the cell. When I imported the stream file into cadence, it passed DRC check, but I found that the path properties, for some paths, the begin/end extension value is 0, but for other paths, they are non-zero, also the type, some are flush, and others are variable which enable the begin/end extension value to be edited.
I don't know why did the wire not extend in the soc encounter (I did not find extension), but do extend in cadence and magic? How can I solve this problem?
In reply to Renee:
Hi Renee,
It is strange that this is only happening to some of your wires and not all of them. Could you post a snapshot of an example in both FE and Virtuoso? Without getting a look at your dfII techfile, it's kind of difficult to further debug. Can you think of anything different about the wires this is happening to vs the ones that are ok? Regular net vs special net, etc.?
Thank you for your reply! I already solved that problem. It seemed that it is a bug in the magic I used. It ignored the pathtype 4 in the stream file, so I edited it, and it worked fine right now.
Thank you again!

Virtualbox 1.5.0 with Seamless Mode
Version 1.5.0 of the free virtual machine Virtualbox has just been released.
One of the new features the release includes is a seamless window mode for Windows as a guest system, removing obstacles to interaction between applications. Virtualbox now also supports virtual serial ports, 64 bit Windows systems and guest additions for OS/2 Warp.
Vendor Innotek has also put a great deal of effort into optimizing the performance of the Virtual Remote Desktop (or VRDP for short). Windows graphics drivers now include Direct Draw support. On Linux, Virtualbox now supports X.org version 1.3 meaning that state-of-art systems such as Fedora 7 and Ubuntu Gutsy will run without any trouble on the virtualizer. The changelog has a full list of changes.
As usual, two versions are available for downloading: a commercial version, which is free for private use, and a GPL'd variant.

The Roman aqueducts. The steam engine. The splitting of the atom. The Sony PSP.
The feverish anticipation and boundless hype mark today's launch of the latter as a watershed event in human technology — at least for anyone even remotely into video games.
After getting my hands on one, I can tell you that Mario and his posse ought to be sweating. But there are a few things that might give you pause — even if it's just a nanosecond — before you race to buy a PSP. That is, if there are any left to buy.
Shorthand for PlayStation Portable, the PSP is Sony's first crack at the handheld gaming market that Nintendo has owned cold up to now. It's sleek and elegant, about the size of a thick checkbook, slightly longer but with less girth than the Nintendo DS. And it's an utterly nifty grown-up toy that does a lot more than games.

It plays movies as well as the games on small UMDs (Universal Media Discs), a proprietary new medium that Sony's opening up to third parties for content. Slightly less than the diameter of a pop can, they're in plastic cartridges that prevent surface contact. The first million PSPs come with "Spider-Man 2."
The PSP can also play MP3 music files, show digital photos, allow wireless online play, and enable up to 16 players to connect for wireless head-to-head competition.
At $249 for a "value pack" that includes a bunch of accessories, the PSP is way more expensive than Nintendo's Game Boy Advance ($79.99) or DS ($149.99), but it's also that much superior in nearly every respect. (Unlike the DS, it has no touch screen.) As for the hated N-Gage taco-phone game thing, the less said the better.
Before we go any further, an admission: Despite the fact that it tickles me when the doctor on "House" fiddles with his Game Boy Advance while he makes patients wait, I've never been sold on mobile gaming. With generally weak games and graphics, it's something you do when you're bored or waiting, when you don't want to think or read or leer at other people. But the PSP may be the first handheld game device that you pick up on its own merits and not out of boredom.
The 3-D games look every bit as good on the high-resolution 4.3-inch screen as games on your PlayStation 2 and your TV. Retailing at $40-$50 each, though, they aren't cheap (compared with roughly $30-$35 for Game Boy Advance titles). Rent before you buy.
And while Nintendo's handheld titles have been mostly kid-oriented, Sony's planning a more diverse line-up for the PSP, from the "Everyone"-rated "Ape Escape" to the "Mature"-rated espionage of "Metal Gear Acid." The system is launching with 24 titles that include plenty of sports, too.
The rechargeable battery is said to last four to six hours, but I didn't spend that kind of quality time with it in one sitting. If your battery is running low, you can swap it without interrupting a game by plugging in the AC adapter first.
The controls will be familiar to anyone with a PS2, with the exception of a left-thumb pad in place of an analog joystick. It feels vaguely naughty, but operates well. The controls for movie-watching are a little less intuitive — the upper "L" and "R" buttons, for instance, move backward and forward by chapters, while the directional buttons are for visually fast-forwarding and reversing. No biggie once you get used to it.
Now to the movies: "Spider-Man 2" and the previews with it looked tremendous. They're remarkably clear and vibrant on the PSP's widescreen display, and don't look funky when the angle shifts. Incidentally, don't look for a bunch of Merchant-Ivory in the roster of releases in the near future. They hew to the young-male demo with "Hellboy," "XXX" and "Once Upon a Time in Mexico."
Sony's UMD movies have lots of potential for the plane, the ferry or your math class, but I'm not sure I'd recommend them in place of a portable DVD player for full-size DVDs. Like a lot of people, I'm not thrilled about shelling out dough on yet another new movie format after bankrupting myself to replace my VHS tapes and laser discs with a library of DVDs. For that matter, I'm still bitter about the whole 8-track tape thing. See, you hit a plunger to change tracks. … Must try to let that one go.
The UMD movies will cost about $20, which is comparable to most fully-loaded DVDs. But with a capacity of three times or so the data of a CD-ROM, the little discs won't hold much in the way of special features. You're paying for the portability. For these to be a success that lasts beyond the novelty, the price needs to come down, and they need to be easy to rent.
A few other minor complaints:
The $249 "value pack" with all the accessories — a "sampler" UMD, a Memory Stick duo for downloading music and pictures, earphones, cleaning cloth, protective case. Consumers should have a choice just to buy the basics for less money. Maybe the ones who wait a few months will.
The sound is weak, whether you're listening to the speaker or through earphones. You won't be able to hear it so well on a plane or ferry. Math classes tend to be quieter.
The remote control on the earphone wire, about the size of a quarter, looks like a cheapo that won't withstand much.
The PSP doesn't have a fishing-reel attachment. Arrogant Sony execs could have learned a thing or two from one Mr. Ron Popeil.
Maybe the PSP isn't quite in atom-splitting league, but it's still got enough going for it to be a big crossover success among game geeks and other life forms.
But is Mario shaking in his little boots? I asked George Harrison, Nintendo's senior VP of sales and marketing.
The DS has sold over 4 million units, and the Game Boy Advance/Game Boy Advance SP have sold more than 65.7 million units worldwide. There are 667 titles in the GBA's current library.
So is the PSP really a threat to such an entrenched adversary?
"I absolutely think there's a big enough market for a couple of systems," Harrison said. "In some ways, I think (the competition is) going to make the market grow."
He also talked a little smack: "They're trying to make a multimedia system, and we're trying to make more interesting ways to game."
Nonetheless, Harrison said that Nintendo has released an MP3 player for Game Boy in Japan and will release it stateside before the end of 2005.
At a game-developer's conference earlier this month, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata announced new strategies that include offering free Wi-Fi connection service to DS owners and nontraditional titles such as "Nintendogs" and "Electroplankton," which allow players to nurture pets and pursue harmony through voice recognition and touch-screen action.
Sounds like Sony has gotten everyone's attention, at the very least. I'm betting they keep it.

Pool Injury Liability on Rented Properties
Wednesday, November 16th, 2011
Liability issues in pool injury cases can become a bit complex, especially when the accident occurs at a rental property. It is useful to have a Dallas pool injury lawyer in your hire to sort out the facts and determine who is ultimately at fault.
Landlord vs. tenant liability usually hinges on control of the premises. Generally the landlord cannot be expected to be liable for an accident that occurs when he/she has no control of the circumstances, such as at a pool party. However, there are exceptions.
The following factors are useful in determining whether the landlord or tenant is liable in a pool injury case:
- Where the pool is located. If the pool is located on the rental property itself, the tenant is likely the liable party. However, the tenant may be one of many in a complex owned and operated by the landlord. If the pool is off the actual rented property in a common area, the landlord may be liable for the accident. However, the tenant may still be liable, particularly if the facts of the accident suggest that his negligence led to the injury.
- The factors which led to the accident. If there was a defect associated with the pool at the time of leasing, the landlord may be liable. He may also be liable if there is a breach in a regulation or legal duty. On the other hand, if the pool accident occurred because of improper maintenance by the tenant, the landlord will not likely be liable.
- The status of the injured person on the premises. In other words, is the victim a tenant, business associate, or friend? Is the victim a trespasser?

Our Favourite St Lucia Videos
Not only does St Lucia have everything we've come to love and expect from a Caribbean island (sun, sea, sand), it's also packed with things to do other than sunbathe. These filmmakers have captured what we think are the very best sides of this paradise island, from its majestic forests to the dancing St Lucians.
"ST LUCIA" by gonzalo fernandez moya
Gonzalo Fernández Moya's video of St Lucia has a dream-like feel to it, and we love the way his images perfectly complement the sunning vistas, forests, mountains and beaches of the island. We love the sunset shot at 1.35 especially.
"Up in the hills (gopro/quad)" by bugeyefilms
This video, filmed in and around Anse La Raye takes us on a wonderful journey through the rocky ravines and riverbeds that run through the forest of St Lucia, finishing in the sea. The two men he follows inject a burst of life into the island that leaves us wishing we could stand under that waterfall too!
"St Lucia" by Jackson Faddis
St Lucia is always a popular location for couples on honeymoon, and this video captures one of those couples' trip. It's quiet, relaxed and filled with beautiful shots of the island's many wonderful features - the water splashing around their boat is one of our favourites.
"St Lucia" by Patryk Drozd
This video of St Lucia captures the people who made this couple's trip to the island special. Full of life and energy, we love the carnival scenes and also the peek of what driving along the winding roads is like!
"St Lucia" by Steve Scott
To the soundtrack of some classic Bob Marley and then Jack Johnson, we experience St Lucia's wonderful water activities, from kayaking and swimming to boating and snorkelling. This video also proves that St Lucia is great for children, too!

I noticed a thread about keeping bugs out of your hair with a helmet with a built in net or a head scarf. Well, I don't have that problem normally where I ride, but I thought some of this might apply to a problem I do have (and I assume many others).
After a ride and I take off my helmet, my hair looks like a corn field (hair sticking up in rows). I don't know if this is worse because my hair is thinning somewhat or not.
Obviously the hair is being pulled up into the air slots in the helmet. I'd like to, at least, minimize this problem, if possible. I considered using a head scarf, but wouldn't that just mat the hair down, especially as you sweat?
Then I wondered if one of these helmets that has an included net for keeping bugs off might restrict how much the hair would be affected since it couldn't normally pull up as high into the helmet slots if a net blocked it.
But then, would the netting make a significant negative effect on air flow?
Any experience with these things (no, I'm not ready to shave my head!).

(my half century turned in to a metric after I had to backtrack. I am totally stoked about my great day, but exhausted.)
Cycling is such an integral part of my life that I often do it without even thinking about it. So far my bike has seen six weekend "tours" this year already, and several other day trips too numerous to mention here. This Saturday I'm lining up 250-odd km in Northern NSW through some of the best riding available on mainland Australia. I haven't even thought about Sunday yet, but I might just head for the beach if it's warm enough, or find something else to do.

This weekend the bike and I are sticking close to home. Friday a ride with the club, work Saturday, and Sunday lead a ride for the club.
Now later in the month, the bike and I are spending a week in the Rideau Lakes region of Eastern Ontario. Last year I took two bikes--road bike and a hybrid for off-road. This year I'm taking just the Portland and its second wheelset with the cyclocross tires mounted. (This is the wheelset that wears the studded snow tires in winter.) The plan is the same as last year--alternate days between paved road metric centuries (road wheelset) and poking around on the dirt roads (cyclocross wheelset).
Then five days after that, we're taking the train to Denver where we'll ride the Front Range of the Rockies for a week.
It is supposed to snow tomorrow, but there's a chance we might be able to get out for a short recreational ride on Sunday.
How about you?
We got out for a recreational ride!! Our first ride this month! It felt so good to be out again.
After being sick for the last couple months, and what with it being winter, we haven't been out much since April.
It was a beautiful sunny day with a high of about 13C and a bit of a breeze, and we rode the cycleway ... 26.75 km.
All my bicycle riding is for fun (recreation) including riding to various useful destinations, including gym, stores and library, and in a past life, to work.
If it wasn't fun (recreational) I wouldn't do it. Any environmental, health, and/or money gains from my cycling is just extra gravy on top of the main course of fun.
Saturday: Cycled 38.16 km. Today was a lovely, sunny winter day with a high of 14C. The hint that it is winter here is the snow on the mountain, which we could see most of the way. We rode the cycleway plus a bit at the end. The people along the way were very friendly today ... lots of chatty cyclists and walkers.
I'm getting back into this again. Last week, my legs felt tired after 18 km, and the last 8 km of the ride was challenging. This week, my legs felt tired after 25 km, and the last 13 km were challenging. So ... I guess that's an improvement.
On the road ...
Rowan ...
Machka ...
Mt Wellington, from the start/finish area ...
And several more ...
I'm bummed. The industrial forest lands (and by extension, the public lands in the same area) are now closed to public entry due to higher fire risk. You're not even supposed to walk in. So no more happy miles of empty logging roads, until the fall rains start anyway. They only started these restrictions a few years ago after some idiot started a forest fire not far from my house. He was plinking (target shooting) a 50 caliber *****. Using tracers as ammo.

Here [in the American Midwest] peak color was about two weeks ago... and it was beautiful. I took a picture (a selfie) of a bright yellow-orange tree and me while out cycling and posted it to FaceBook. We still have some nice color... but we have more bare branches.
I completed my goal miles just the other day. And I was thinking that since the weather this Sunday is expected to be cool but sunny it would be a great day for a vintage bicycle ride. I don't currently have a computer on a recently acquired vintage bicycle I've been dying to take for a long ride. But since I've already met my mileage goals I won't care so much that I am not logging the miles.
I might ride to a bike shop and buy some parts, then stay inside and avoid the rain.
I will be riding sunday about 25-30 miles in san jose, CA. I just about to move to my new place.
I bike every day for fun.
We had two good rides this weekend ...
Saturday's ride was a short, brisk one up the cycleway.
Sunday's ride was a 100.9 km Audax event. A tough ride, a challenging ride ... but in a strange way, I really enjoyed it.

Weekend Cycling/Exercise/Sports Reports - Nov 1/2
I'm putting my bike on the bike rack and taking two buses to Hackensack NJ. I was amazed that it only cost me 1.25 to travel over 20 miles by bus (with monthly bus card).
While in Hackensack, I noticed the USS Ling, a submarine in a museum by riverside. Holy cow! I was surprised and never knew this boat existed having noticed it by accident. These free bus trips are taking me places I've never been like Thomas Edison's Black Maria in West Caldwell. Regardless, I'm going inside that submarine this Saturday and then biking back home.

This is a beautiful piece of work. I love the figure and the use of color. Obscuring her face just makes it all the more alluring.
Her breasts seem a little too far apart from one another, but other than that, this piece is very compelling.
