We kick this thread off with a very ugly one:
Prison Talk Leads to Lawman's Arrest
By MIKE ROBINSON
Associated Press Writer
CHICAGO (AP) -- Reputed mob boss Michael Marcello apparently didn't watch crime shows on television - otherwise he might have known the FBI could listen in on his conversations in the visitors room at the federal penitentiary in Milan, Mich.
The unsuspecting Marcello dropped broad hints about his source inside the U.S. Marshals Service during conversations with his incarcerated brother in 2003. FBI agents heard every word about the man Marcello called "the babysitter."
Deputy marshal John Thomas Ambrose surrendered Thursday to FBI agents who say he was the source who spilled to Marcello secrets about a federally protected witness to organized crime.
"This defendant's conduct in revealing closely guarded and highly sensitive information ... constitutes an egregious breach of his law enforcement duties," First Assistant U.S. Attorney Gary S. Shapiro said.
Ambrose is accused in court papers of leaking information regarding the whereabouts of reputed mobster Nicholas Calabrese, a key witness in the government's Operation Family Secrets murder conspiracy case. Fourteen reputed mobsters and their associates are charged in the indictment alleging a conspiracy to commit at least 18 murders.
Ambrose appeared briefly before U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael T. Mason, who released him on a $50,000 unsecured bond and scheduled a preliminary hearing for Jan. 30. He declined to comment as he left the courtroom, but defense attorney Francis C. Lipuma told reporters that his client denies the accusations.
"John Ambrose is not connected to the mob at all," Lipuma said.
Prosecutors said that between January and June 2003 they intercepted 11 conversations that took place when Michael Marcello visited his brother, James, at the Michigan prison. Both Marcello brothers are charged in the Operation Family Secrets indictment.
Prosecutors said the conversations showed that Michael Marcello had an inside source of information concerning Nicholas Calabrese. They said the conversations also indicated that the source was a federal lawman with access to the files of the Marshals Service witness program.
Michael Marcello might have given federal officials their best clue when he said that the source was the son of a defendant in the so-called "Marquette 10" police corruption case. Ambrose's father, Thomas Ambrose, died in prison while serving his bribery sentence stemming from the Marquette 10 case, prosecutors said.
Additionally, John Thomas Ambrose was a member of the Marshals Service's so-called Calabrese detail and would have had access to the information, prosecutors said. They said Ambrose's fingerprints were found on Calabrese documents.
Ambrose has been on leave since September. He is charged with theft of government property, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.

Associated Press
ATLANTA Federal agents are seeking to hire Ebonics translators to help interpret wiretapped conversations involving targets of undercover drug investigations. The Drug Enforcement Administration recently sent memos asking companies that provide translation services to help it find nine translators in the Southeast who are fluent in Ebonics, Special Agent Michael Sanders said Monday.
Ebonics, which is also known as African American Vernacular English, has been described by the psychologist who coined the term as the combination of English vocabulary with African language structure. Some DEA agents already help translate Ebonics, Sanders said. But he said wasn't sure if the agency has ever hired outside Ebonics experts as contractors.
"They saw a need for this in a couple of their investigations," he said. "And when you see a need it may not be needed now but we want the contractors to provide us with nine people just in case."
The DEA's decision, first reported by The Smoking Gun, evokes memories of the debate sparked in 1996 when the Oakland, Calif., school board suggested that black English was a separate language. Although the board later dropped the suggestion amid criticism, it set off a national discussion over whether Ebonics is a language, a dialect or neither.
The search for translators covers a wide swath of the Southeast, including offices in Atlanta, Washington, New Orleans, Miami and the Caribbean, said Sanders. He said he's uncertain why other regions aren't hiring Ebonics translators, but said there are ongoing investigations in the Southeast that need dedicated Ebonics translators. Linguists said Ebonics can be trickier than it seems, partly because the vocabulary evolves so quickly.
"A lot of times people think you're just dealing with a few slang words, and that you can finesse your way around it," said John Rickford, a Stanford University linguistics professor. "And it's not it's a big vocabulary. You'll have some significant differences" from English.
Critics worry that the DEA's actions could set a precedent.
"Hiring translators for languages that are of questionable merit to begin with is just going in the wrong direction," said Aloysius Hogan, the government relations director of English First, a national lobbying group that promotes the use of English. "I'm not aware of Ebonics training schools or tests. I don't know how they'd establish that someone speaks Ebonics," he said. "I support the concept of pursuing drug dealers if they're using code words, but this is definitely going in the wrong direction."
H. Samy Alim, a Stanford linguistics professor who specializes in black language and hip-hop culture, said he thought the hiring effort was a joke when he first heard about it, but that it highlights a serious issue.
"It seems ironic that schools that are serving and educating black children have not recognized the legitimacy of this language. Yet the authorities and the police are recognizing that this is a language that they don't understand," he said. "It really tells us a lot about where we are socially in terms of recognizing African-American speech."
Rickford said that hiring Ebonics experts could come in handy for the DEA, but he said it's hard to determine whether a prospective employee can speak it well enough to translate since there are no standardized tests. He said the ideal candidate would be a native speaker who also has had some linguistics training.
Finding the right translators could be the difference between a successful investigation or a failed one, said Sanders. While he said many listeners can get the gist of what Ebonics speakers are saying, it could take an expert to define it in court.
"You can maybe get a general idea of what they're saying, but you have to understand that this has to hold up in court," he said. "You need someone to say, 'I know what they mean when they say 'ballin' or 'pinching pennies.'"

Ramos and Compean set themselves up when they failed to report dischaging their weapons. Local/state/federal, if you fire your weapon, it's a big deal. What might have been a good shoot is then tainted by the attempt at a cover up.

Gunwalking Folly
Reply #4 on:
March 29, 2011, 10:03:26 AM »
Perhaps the wrong topic to file this under as law enforcement clearly wasn't what was occurring here.
The Scandal of 'Gun-Walking'
from National Review Online
Why did the Justice Department allow Mexican cartels to purchase 2,500 U.S.-made guns?
Why did the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives stand by and watch as guns were transported across our southern border to Mexico, to be used by violent drug cartels?
The phenomenon of gunwalking appears to be a standard sting-operation tactic that in this case has gone wildly awry. The idea was that federal authorities would approve firearms purchases that seemed suspicious, and then monitor the buyers to see where the guns ended up. But the scale of the purchases was massive, and the agents on the ground kept anxiously waiting for the order to stop monitoring and intervene, according to stunning accounts from ATF agents and documentation uncovered by CBS News and other sources. As early as March 2010, ATF agents were finding the monitored firearms in the hands of suspected criminals in Mexico. One ATF e-mail reported,Our subjects purchased 359 firearms during March alone, including numerous Barrett .50 caliber rifles.
#ad#According to the dozen ATF agents who have come forward as whistleblowers, the concept was not the half-baked idea of a rogue manager. Reported CBS:
ATF Agent John Dodson and other sources say the gun walking strategy was approved all the way up to the Justice Department. The idea was to see where the guns ended up, build a big case and take down a cartel. And it was all kept secret from Mexico.
ATF named the case Fast and Furious.
Last Wednesday, President Obama said that neither he nor Attorney General Eric Holder approved the operation. But who within the Justice Department did authorize the dangerous operation? And who decided to ignore the judgment of the agents in the field? An e-mail from a group supervisor told ATF agents who were upset about the operations risks, Whether you care or not, people of rank and authority at HQ are paying attention to this case and they also believe we are doing what they envisioned the Southwest Border Groups doing.
Even the gun shops themselves were wary of selling the firearms; the purchasers were paying with cash out of paper bags. But the sellers were assured by the ATF that they should go forward with the transactions. One of the purchases was for 575 semiautomatic rifles for personal use. One agent estimates the total number of guns purchased by suspicious buyers under ATF monitoring at 2,500; other officials put the number closer to 2,000. Nearly 800 were recovered as a result of criminal activity on both sides of the border.
Worst of all, the guns that the ATF agents were ordered to let slip into Mexico were not merely used in cartel violence in Mexico, but were used against American citizens and law enforcement. CBS News noted:
On Dec. 14, 2010, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terrywas gunned down. Dodson got the bad news from a colleague. According to Dodson, They said, Did you hear about the border patrol agent? And I said, Yeah. And they said Well it was one of the Fast and Furious guns. Theres not really much you can say after that. Two assault rifles ATF had let go nearly a year before were found at Terrys murder.
Only after Terrys death did the ATF round up and charge 34 individuals believed to be involved with moving the guns across the border.
The Department of Justice initially denied the whistleblowers claims. Last week, however, DOJ sent a confidential memo to U.S. Attorneys in southwestern border states, declaring, We should not design or conduct undercover operations which include guns crossing the border. If we have knowledge that guns are about to cross the border, we must take immediate action to stop the firearms from crossing the border, even if that prematurely terminates or otherwise jeopardizes an investigation.
#page#So, the DOJ appears to have initially lied about the circumstances, and it is now insisting the men at the top didnt know what was going on. The Department of Justice at first referred the allegations to its own inspector general, an unusual choice in that the whistleblowers claim they already contacted the IG and never had their phone calls returned. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) is pushing for an outside investigation. Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.), chairman of the House Government Reform Committee, wrote ATF acting director Kenneth Melson, charging that you are not cooperating with congressional inquiries about Project Gunrunner and Operation Fast and Furious. Issa has asked for documents about the genesis of the operation as well.
An ATF assistant director told the Center for Public Integrity that new tactics aimed to collect evidence that would help dismantle major drug-trafficking organizations in Mexico, instead of focusing on the prosecution of small-time straw buyers.
#ad#The revelations are a new wrinkle in the strange record of the Obama administration when it comes to guns. President Obamas record in the Illinois state senate and the U.S. Senate demonstrates a hostility to the Second Amendment. He is accurately characterized as an anti-gun president, who selected an anti-gun vice president, an anti-gun secretary of state, and an anti-gun attorney general.
Shortly after he was confirmed, Attorney General Eric Holder stated that the Obama administration would seek to reinstate the assault-weapons ban that expired in 2004. But that proposal spurred quick and vehement opposition from 65 pro-gun House Democrats, making passage of a new ban all but impossible. Since then, when President Obama has mentioned the word guns, it has usually been in appearances with the Mexican president, talking about the need for an enforcement strategy that slows the flow of guns into Mexico.
With the president himself talking about the need to stop guns from crossing the border,why would the ATF allow just that to happen? Why would they take such an enormous risk of harming innocent life in both Mexico and the United States, to say nothing of risking exactly the sort of embarrassment and outrage that the current revelations are generating? What made this operation worth overruling the objections of the agents on the ground monitoring the transactions?
What we know about the gun-walking operation is already deeply troubling; nothing less than a full investigation to the satisfaction of the whistleblowers, Grassley, and Issa will suffice. The facts at present point to a dangerous and extraordinarily risky operation executed without the knowledge or consent of the top officials in our government, accurate claims initially falsely denied, and whisteblowers dismissed and ignored by the official watchdogs.

2nd post. Connect the Gunwalker dots:
"Gun Walker" keeps growing
Now the former ATF attache to Mexico, in charge of agency operations there, is talking to CBS News. He was told that the operation had been approved by the acting ATF director and by higher officials at Justice Department, and that Assistant Attorney General and head of the Criminal Division Larry Breuer knew about it. And apparent it did result in a lot of traces that would illustrate how US guns were ending up in Mexico:
"Gil first found out something was amiss in early 2010 when serial numbers from a flood of guns used in cartel crimes were all tracing back to the same case in Phoenix: "Fast and Furious." But when Gil's analyst checked ATF's computer files to find out more, he hit a brick wall.
"Not only did he not have access, I as the attache, the head agent in Mexico for ATF operations, did not have access," says Gil. He was locked out.
That was a red flag because Gil says as the senior ATF official in Mexico, it was his job to approve any ATF operation involving Mexico; and he didn't approve this one."
UPDATE: in the comments, Dedicated_Dad hits it on the head:
"Please consider:
(1) Have dealers - working as "confidential informants" - sell guns to straw buyers and report details to ATF.
(2) Allow guns to be smuggled into Mexico, without the knowledge of anyone IN Mexico - not the Mexi.gov, not US ATF agents or their boss the "attache", not ANYONE.
(4) Make some big case!
Please tell me what must -- or even theoretically COULD -- happen at step "3" for this to work!"
Exactly. How could anyone imagine (3). If the Mexican authorities don't know, they can't investigate (might not anyway, but if they don't know they surely cannot. ATF can hardly mount an on the ground investigation there, esp. without notifying local law enforcement. All that could ever be ascertained was that guns shipped to cartels wind up at crime scenes, and everyone already knew that. That'd get you nowhere toward making a big case.
Another thought: I'd initially figured knowledge of this operation wouldn't have gone to high levels. The managers who were running it probably would have figured that if they sent the info up the chain of command, somebody might stop it, or have lots of awkward questions, or delay until he got a lot of consensus (as in CYA -- spread the blame around if things go bad). But now it appears knowledge did go high. The guy who is telling the attache that it's gone to the agency head and higher is implicitly telling him: "if you keep arguing about this, you'll eventually have to explain to someone a LOT more powerful than you, and someone's gonna phrase it as "the operation you allowed -- there's some attache guy who thinks only a moron could have allowed it." And now it appears knowledge got as high as an Assistant Attorney General, an appointee. If it got that high, odds are good it would have gotten to the AG. And if it got to him, odds are decent that it got to the White House. I note the official denials are that anyone high up "approved" it. You can of course know of something, decide to let it run its course, and still deny having "approved" it. CYA and all that. "They told me about it, I just assumed they knew what they were doing."

**It doesn't make sense. You could work a investigation like this, but you work it like any other similar case. You arrest the small fish making the buys and pop them while still in the US, you flip them and grab the next level, use that testimony to indict the major players. You don't just let thousands of guns float over the border for years. Not unless it isn't really intended to be an investigation.

Who Will Police the Criminologists?
The dangers of politicized social science
If youve ever wondered why police officers tend to be skeptical about social science, pick up volume 9, issue 4 of Criminology & Public Policy, a journal published by the American Society of Criminology. The issue is titled Reducing Homeless-Related Crime, and its focal point is a research paper by University of Pennsylvania professors Richard Berk and John MacDonald that evaluates the Safer City Initiative (SCI). SCI was implemented by the Los Angeles Police Department in 2006 to reduce crime, lawlessness, and disorder in the Skid Row neighborhood. Despite its limitations, Berk and MacDonalds useful evaluation concludes that SCI had a significant impact on serious crime, and it adds to the literature illustrating the impact of Broken Windows policing. The remainder of the issue comprises essays that reflect on either the studys methodology or its public policy implications. An essay that examines the formerUniversity of Cincinnati professor John Ecks Policy Is in the Detailsis especially valuable, emphasizing the need for criminologists like Berk and MacDonald to describe the policies they study.
But Ecks observation happens to underscore a fundamental weakness in the public policy essays that follow: for the most part, their authors ignore or seriously misrepresent the nature of Skid Rows difficulties before SCI was implemented. Instead of seeking out data that accurately document conditions on the ground, they accept a piece of conventional wisdom, one that the title of the issue makes plain and that, over time, has evolved into an ideological position: that homelessness, rather than a culture of lawbreaking, was at the root of Skid Rows woes.
That view is more pernicious than it may sound, since it has long contributed to criminologys party line about Skid Rowlike situations and Broken Windows policing. It dates back to the late 1980s, when seemingly everyone in New York Citythe Metropolitan Transit Authority, the New York Times, politicians, advocacy groupsthought that the main problem in the citys subways was homelessness. Conventional wisdom held that the solutions were homes, jobs, and welfare. Yet if one went into the subways and observed conditions there, as two of us (Kelling and Bratton) did, such assumptions became shaky: youths were blocking entrances and forcibly collecting fares from passengers, predators were stalking fare booths and breaking open fare boxes to steal money, and 250,000 people were riding without paying faresall because of homelessness? Yes, a troubled populationhomeless, mentally ill, or drug-addictedwas trying to use the subway as a surrogate shelter, often encouraged by irresponsible advocates, who ignored the risks that these vulnerable people would face there. Yet homelessness was a relatively small part of the subways real problem: lawlessness. Homeless individuals can still be seen in New Yorks subways today, but gone is the culture of lawlessness that plagued the subway until 1990, when the transit police created a safer environment.
Skid Rows crisis in the early 2000s was even more complex than the New York subways had been. Fires raged in the middle of streets at night; people urinated, defecated, and engaged in sex acts in open view; youths partied with drugs and alcohol; sexual predators roamed free; the neighborhood became a dumping ground for released prisoners and for sick people, probably homeless, whom ambulances left on the street, still in hospital garb and on gurneys. The area was such a lucrative place to deal drugs that gangs didnt bother fighting over turf. Certainly, there were large numbers of homeless, in part because the citys missions and service centers lay in the heart of Skid Row. But the neighborhoods core problem wasnt homelessness. Just as in New York, it was a culture of lawlessness that had been tolerated for decades (see The Reclamation of Skid Row, Autumn 2007). If any of these researchers had bothered to go into the streets, they would have seen that.
The authors of the public policy essays also misrepresent the nature of SCI, presenting a preconceived image of the LAPDs approach rather than a description of what it actually did. Yale professors Michael Rowe and Maria OConnellobserving that one of us, Chief William Bratton, brought to Skid Row the Broken Windows tactics that he developed in New Yorksay that those tactics demonize persons and are applied to putatively broken people who apparently . . . are not to be fixed but instead are cited for the crime of brokenness and removed from sight. Likewise, Arizona State University professor Michael D. White characterizes SCI as zero tolerance policing, which is perhaps the antithesis of peacekeeping. He goes on to argue that the adoption of zero tolerance strategies represents a step away from professional policing, characterizes the LAPDs approach as homelessness-is-a-crime philosophy, and deems it poor craft. Where are the descriptions of actual tactics used by the LAPD? Where are the primary data on SCI implementation upon which to base such conclusions?
White argues that SCI should have been built on problem solving and community policing. In fact, it was. Sponsored by the mayors office, with strong support from the city attorney, the initiative sought to include every relevant public and private agency, even groups often hostile to police approaches, such as the American Civil Liberties Union. (These groups continue to meet with one another.) The strongest support for SCI came from the areas missions, not-for-profit organizations established to help the genuinely homeless. The goals of SCI included not just crime reduction but also developing support among social agencies, reducing citizen fear, getting agencies like the citys health department to meet their responsibilities, involving the private sector (through Business Improvement Districts and the like), protecting the personal property of people living on the street, fostering street civility, and increasing shopping in neighborhood stores.
The journals examination of SCI exemplifies a politicized social science. Its particularly discouraging that such a flawed approach would appear in a publication of the American Society of Criminology. Unfortunately, it represents at least the second generation of such misrepresentation. In response to earlier crime reductions in New York City, many scholars eagerly attempted to prove that the declines had little to do with police efforts. Then, as now, they interpreted datareported crime, arrests, police stopswithout bothering to do firsthand research. The consequences of confusing research and scholarship with hubris, polemics, and uncritical secondary-data analysisin short, of politicized social scienceare enormous: distrust between academia and policing, gross misrepresentations of policing, and, above all, widespread failure to understand what works and what doesnt work in policing.

Law enforcement and the rest of the criminal justice system are not a panacea for every social ill, but having well constructed laws enforced by well trained and led LEOs makes a big difference in the quality of life and economic strength of a society.

Has anybody else heard about this ?
Supreme Courts Affirm The Police State
May 23, 2011 by Bob Livingston
Our descent into a police state is complete, as evidenced by rulings by the Indiana and U.S. Supreme Courts which, last week, effectively and finally abolished the 4th Amendment.
No longer are American citizens secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, thanks to the two rulings affirming police authority to bash down your door and enter your home without a warrant. Resisting such an incursion is now a crime. If it werent obvious before that we live in a fascist system under guise of Democracy, surely, it must be now.
In Indiana, the Supreme Court ruled 3-2 that there is no right to reasonably resist unlawful entry by police officers. The U.S. Supreme Courts 8-1 ruling affirmed that officers can kick down a door if they smell marijuana or hear noises indicative of the destruction of evidence. (Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dissented, writing, Police officers may now knock, listen, then break the door down, never mind that they had ample time to obtain a warrant.) The fact that the door they kicked in was not the door their suspect had entered was irrelevant to the court.
Of course, we told you a couple of weeks ago about the case of Maryanne Godboldo, who had a Detroit Police SWAT team crash into her home and remove her daughter because Godboldo made the perfectly reasonable and rational choice to determine what medication her daughter should take.
And weve previously told you about the assault on the 4th Amendment by the Department of Homeland Security through the porn show/gropefest at the airports and, just as egregious, the home peepshow enabling the Z Backscatter Van that is now rolling on American streets.
But the court rulings are among the first to affirm the police state. And they open us up to a system where the police have carte blanche to do as they please.
Think this is an overreaction? Tell it to the citizens of Newton County, Ind., whose sheriff, Don Hartman Sr., told the Mike Church radio show on Thursday that random house-to-house searches are now possible because of the Indiana Supreme Courts ruling.
(H)e emphatically indicated that he would use random house to house (sic) checks, adding he felt people will welcome random searches if it means capturing a criminal, according to a posting on Churchs website. By Thursday afternoon there was a Facebook page calling for Hartmans removal from office.
The Founders are surely weeping for an America they no longer recognize.
Our country became great and prosperous because its citizens were allowed to own property. The Founders subscribed to the theory of John Locke that if (a person) be absolute lord of his own person and possessions, equal to the greatest, and subject to no body, why will he part with his freedom? Why will he give up this empire, and subject himself to the dominion and control of any other power?
The elites understand this as well. That is why there is an assault on property rights, like in the ruling in Kelo v. The City of New London. Its why a system based on property taxes is so egregious, because the State forces you to pay for the right to own your own property and can take it away at the force of a gun if, through some financial hardship or error, you dont pay the tax in a timely manner.
The fascist elites in government are winning. We have become the despotism of an oligarchy, which Thomas Jefferson warned about when he wrote: It is a very dangerous doctrine to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all Constitutional questions. It is one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.
We have told you before of the folly of expecting any of the ruling class to do anything or make any laws or rulings that would deny them more power. The President, members of Congress, the bureaucrats who occupy the offices of government, the justices, judges, lawyers, accountants and officers of the court system are employees of and for government. Their desire is to accumulate more power for government and more power and prestige for themselves. It is a desire that knows no party affiliation.
John Adams wrote: because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
That is where we are. We as a nation have rejected God and spat upon his principles. We have put in power people who see themselves as gods elitists who think they know more than we and who think they know better than we how we should live our lives. Weve allowed them to dictate what kind of cars we drive, what kind of light bulbs we can use, how much water our toilets flush, what foods we can eat, what doctors we see, what drugs we can or must take and what harmful chemicals can be placed in our water. And then we sat back as the oligarchy banned any and every mention of God in schools and public places.
We have rejected the teachings of our fathers. We have turned our backs on liberty and accepted the perceived safety net of tyranny. We slept while the Constitution burned.
The 1 percent in government controls the 99 percent. Of those 99 percent, 49.5 percent are perfectly content to be controlled as long as the free money comes their way. The remaining 49.5 percent is divided among those who are so unaware that they are unaware they are unaware, those who are aware but dont know what to do, and those who know whats coming and have been preparing.
Those who are aware but dont know what to do scream at the top of their lungs that things are wrong. They dont know exactly what things are wrong, or why, just that they are.
They have been blinded by the 1 percent, which controls through gross deception. They are being stolen from and lied to. They are being herded like sheep to the slaughter, and the last vestige of hope in the court system has betrayed them.
Failing regimes respond in their death throes by engaging in perpetual wars, debasing their currency and clamping down on the freedoms of their people. As the power elites try to hold on to their last vestiges of control, they enslave their subjects through the tyranny of a police state.
We live in a country that once threw off the shackles of tyranny. Our Founders chose not to tolerate a police state that allowed armed soldiers of the crown to enter homes at will, ransack, pillage and abuse. They understood such practices violated hundreds of years of law that established that a mans home was his castle and not subject to invasion by the regime.
Such abuses were so egregious to the Founders that they were among the ones specifically mentioned in the Declaration of Independence.
The system is collapsing. All around the world from China to Europe to the Middle East the proletariat is rising up. People are protesting rising food prices and lack of freedom and clamoring for a form of democracy. The regimes respond to the protests with violence, sometimes aided and abetted by the United States and its form of humanitarianism.
In America, the proles still sleep, but they are stirring. Those who are aware are finding their legs and their voices, as evidenced by last Novembers elections. Every day, more of the unaware are waking from the fog of conventional wisdom.
If you have not yet begun to prepare for the coming storm, you have waited almost too long. The winds are against you now. Gold tells the story of the rapid descent of the system. It takes almost twice as many fiat dollars to purchase an ounce today as it did just two years ago.
But gold remains a bargain. Silver, too. Store food and water for the hard times, which are nearer than you think. The ride is getting bumpy. It will get worse before it gets better. For most, life will soon be very difficult.

Supreme Courts Affirm The Police State

Our descent into a police state is complete, as evidenced by rulings by the Indiana and U.S. Supreme Courts which, last week, effectively and finally abolished the 4th Amendment.
Why bother though, given that we're a police state now.

Marc Levin questions some of the militarization of police. He points out of course they need to protect themselves and 38 revolvers are certainly not enough fire power these days. I agree with him questioning the militarization for Federal agencies.
Two observations:
We have militarized our own Federal Agencies from law enforcement to paramilitary agencies and have turned our real military into police forces - ass backwards.
Two the left must be besides themselves that this use of force is against LEFTIST radical and minority union and communist groups. Surely they were preparing to put down RIGHTIST "revolts". They must be pissed. They were obviously looking forward to call out the rightist racist pigs (tea party types). Instead they are the nut jobs:

If your loved one is bleeding out at the scene of a violent crime, wouldn't it be nice for your local law enforcement agency to have the equipment and training to rescue that loved one while the bullets are still flying and they still have a chance at survival?
Listening to Radley Balko on law enforcement is like listening to Rev. Sharpton on anything. Their agendas have nothing to do with the truth.

ZF-9815: Zend_Navigation_Container::addPages() should accept a Zend_Navigation_Container
The addPages() method of Zend_Navigation_Container only takes an array or a Zend_Config instance. It should also accept a Zend_Navigation_Container.
It's a fairly minor fix. Insert the following into the addPages method:
if ($pages instanceof Zend_Navigation_Container) {
$pages = iterator_to_array($pages);
The docblocks and exception message will also need updating. Note: this uses iterator_to_array instead of getPages so that the order of pages will be consistent with calling toArray().
Patch and unit test added.
Fixed in r24458

ZF-9790: allow to attach a formatter from .ini configuration and do not hardcode formatter class in Log_Writer class
It would be great if we could attach a formatter directly through application.ini file AND without having to subclass a writer either.
Currently we can define the following entries for Zend_Log:
resources.log.stream.writerName = "Stream"
resources.log.stream.writerParams.stream = APPLICATION_PATH "/../logs/app.log"
resources.log.stream.writerNamespace = "Library_Log_Writer"
resources.log.stream.filterName = "Priority"
resources.log.stream.filterParams.priority = Zend_Log::WARN
// It would be great if we could add something like:
resources.log.stream.formatterName = "MyFormaterName"
resources.log.stream.formatterNamespace = "My_Formater_Namespace"
This would improve logging customization a lot and make it easier. It would be absolutely necessary to remove currently hardcoded formatter classes within Writer classes.
$this->_formatter = new Zend_Log_Formatter_Simple();
=> currently, to attach your own formatter, you have to create your own subclass of Writter_Stream... Not very flexible...
Not sure if is really necessary to extend a Writer. Just setting a Formatter to the current Writer doesn't does the trick?
Here's a patch against 1.10.4 that simply duplicates the way writers and filters are generated as application resources.
I tested only:
resources.log.db.formatterName = "Simple" resources.log.db.formatterParams.format = '%timestamp%: %message%'
Not the testing of Namespace.
Benoit, thanks for taking this on.
Perhaps, this should be added to the existing tests for Zend_Application_Resource_Log?
Index: trunk/tests/Zend/Application/Resource/LogTest.php =================================================================== --- trunk/tests/Zend/Application/Resource/LogTest.php (revision 23599) +++ trunk/tests/Zend/Application/Resource/LogTest.php (working copy) @@ -109,5 +109,13 @@ 'writerParams' => array( 'stream' => $stream, - ) + ), + 'filterName' => 'Priority', + 'filterParams' => array( + 'priority' => Zend_Log::INFO, + ), + 'formatterName' => 'Simple', + 'formatterParams' => array( + 'format' => '%timestamp%: %message%', + ), )); @@ -121,5 +129,7 @@ $log->log($message = 'logged-message', Zend_Log::INFO); rewind($stream); - $this->assertContains($message, stream_get_contents($stream)); + $contents = stream_get_contents($stream); + $this->assertStringEndsWith($message, $contents); + $this->assertRegexp('/\d\d:\d\d:\d\d/', $contents); }
Benoit -- patch looks good, but I also think Aaron's point is valid. Once the Log resource test is added, feel free to merge to the 1.11 release branch.
I have committed the unit test of Aaron in the trunk r23642. And, I added documentation in r23675.
Documentation appears as:
filterParams -> format
but you must to use:
formatterParams -> format
I'm using tag http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/…. this setting in application.ini just gets ignored: resources.log.stream.formatterNamespace = "Model_Log_Formatter"
the reason for it is that Zend_Log calls this on line 225: $formatter = $this->_constructFromConfig('formatter', $config, $this->_defaultFormatterNamespace);
has this fix not been included in release yet ?
What fix are you talking about?
fix which would allow to set a namespace from through config file. the patch attached above doesn't allow that as it does: protected function _constructFormatterFromConfig($config) + { + $formatter = $this->_constructFromConfig('formatter', $config, $this->_defaultFormatterNamespace);
$this->_defaultFormatterNamespace should probably pick up formatterNamespace from config first and if not set then use default one.
This feature is added since version 1.11.3. Would you have a sample of a configuration that does not work?
You make a misreading of the source code. You should read the getClassName method: a default namespace is used only if the configuration does not provide to complete the short name.
// line 295
$namespace = $defaultNamespace;
if (isset($config[ $type . 'Namespace' ])) {
$namespace = $config[ $type . 'Namespace' ];
$fullClassName = $namespace . '_' . $className;
You should open a new issue as bug to discuss if there really is a bug on this feature.
you're right, it works fine. I was extending formatter and i didn't overload factory method so it was returning wrong class.
thanx for your time ;)

During Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 7-13, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), are encouraging individuals and families to have a fire escape plan.
Here are some suggestions for planning for a fire:
- Check that all smoke alarms work: USFA recommends that every residence be equipped with both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms or dual sensor smoke alarms, which contain both ionization and photoelectric smoke sensors.
- Make sure that there are two ways out of every room.
- Make a home fire plan.
- Practice with family members including children, older family members, and individuals who have access and functional needs so that every person knows how to use both ways to get to safety.

The key is to find the perfect balance of quantity and quality of offered seeds. Though a flock of finches may have devoured an entire tube feeder worth of thistle on a weekly basis during the summer, they may only eat a portion of that as fall turns into winter. In addition, some seed and mix varieties may spoil faster in the cooler, moisture varying weather, which creates unnecessary waste and could potentially harbor diseases. Simply continue to monitor feeding activity at each of your bird feeders and adjust the offered seed levels accordingly.
Similarly, the style of bird feeder you maintain doesn't need to change throughout the year either. Birds, such as mourning doves and
juncos, that tend to ground feed don't change their preferences just because the ground is covered with leaves or snow. True, as leaves or snow begin to fall and potentially
fill the feeder, maintaining a ground-style feeder requires a bit more upkeep. But, the rewards of keeping birds in your yard throughout the fall and winter far outweigh
the short time it takes each day to clean and replenish your bird feeders.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is pleased to partner with Microsoft Zune for Five Minutes with Fame, an exclusive video series on the Zune Marketplace featuring singers, songwriters and bands at the forefront of today's music. After a behind-the-scenes tour of the Museum, we sit down with artists to talk about their music, their road to success, inspirations, being on tour and of course, some of their favorite artists and artifacts highlighted in the Museum. This week's featured artist is Bullet for My Valentine.
Welsh quartet Bullet for My Valentine have been taking cues from '80s metal bands and the punk-infused metal of the new millennium to make melodic, metallic, dark rock songs. Originating from Bridgend, South Wales, in 2003, the group came to be through a collaboration that started as childhood friends: Matthew Tuck (vocals/guitar), Michael Padget (guitar/vocals), Jason James (bass/vocals), and Michael Thomas (drums).
Calling themselves Bullet for My Valentine (their first name was Jeff Kills John), the group was signed at their second gig by London's Visible Noise label. They released a self-titled EP in the UK in November 2004, and their debut album, The Poison, was released just a year later. Soon thereafter, the group partnered with an American label, Trustkill, to distribute their recordings in America. As a result, Hand of Blood – essentially a deluxe version of the band's first EP – was released stateside in August. That same year, Bullet for My Valentine won Kerrang!'s Best British Newcomer Award and headlined the magazine's XXV tour. A nationwide tour supporting Rob Zombie followed along with the US release of The Poison. The album eventually went gold in America.
Scream Aim Fire, the band's second full-length album, was released in 2008, reaching the Top 10 album charts in sales. After touring in support of Scream Aim Fire, the band eagerly went back into the studio with Linkin Park producer Don Gilmore. Fever was released in 2010.
Below the band talks about their history, recording in the studio, and what some of their favorite items in the Museum collection are, including the Metallica exhibit and Cliff Burton's bass guitar, Keith Moon's shoes, Michael Jackson's Thriller jacket and Bruce Springsteen's Corvette.

Superior content but TINY print
By T. M. B.
from Raleigh, NC
About Me Everyday Reader
A wonderful book, but it's a struggle to read the tiny print. Reading it would not be easy for quick reference in the field for many people. Other National Geographic publications would be more relaxing eading at home. Please consider a version that uses larger print!!! This book is definitely worthy of more than one version -- so much hard work went into its creation! Bird lovers will love it (if they can read it).

I have both - the original Ungaro III and original Zino and I find them quite different.
I've read lots of comments about Ungaro III being similar to Zino. Is this true? If so, how are they similar? How do they differ? For the record, I'm not interested in vintage here at all since I own a bottle of Ungaro III that's relatively recent and I love it, and I'm debating picking up the current version of Zino.
Zino isn't expensive on Amazon. If I own Ungaro III, is it worth buying, or is it redundant?
I have both - the original Ungaro III and original Zino and I find them quite different.
They have both a similar vibe, but different enough to justify owning both, both are relatively inexpensive and both are good in any formulation.
I don't find them at all similar.
RARE PERFUME DECANTS - FACEBOOK (closed group) - Hundreds of ultra rare extraits available, including Djedi and Nombre Noir.
They are both very good and have very little similarities. Ungaro III is very sharp spicy dark rose, Zino is a creamy sandal wood with some attitude.
Not similar to me. UIII is much drier than Zino which is loaded
with amber. The rose note is also quite different.
RARE PERFUME DECANTS - FACEBOOK (closed group) - Hundreds of ultra rare extraits available, including Djedi and Nombre Noir.
Unagro III, like all Ungaro frags IMO, is overrated garbage. Zino on the other hand was/is a classic which has recently been discontinued. Get it while you can.
Ungaro III wears magically on my skin. It basically turns into a dark rose and three sprays easily last 8 hours with some impressive (but not huge) sillage.
They're not similar in any way imo.
keepin' it musky

These frags share a little bit of character, rose and citrus . . . but are otherwise very different, and not redundant. I'd say Caron's 3me Homme is halfway between them.
WORTH trYing at least a mini of each............
A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it. The truth is the truth even if nobody believes it.
Nothing alike.
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
Not similar at all. Ungaro III is a take it or leave it experience while Zino is a must have fragrance. IMHO
I have both.
Zino is an ambery fougere - as prominently noted in the H&R Chart at Leffingwell.
Ungaro 111 isn't.
Not to me.
I have both scents, and both were acquired over 5 years ago, so.....older formulations...?? Maybe? Bueller...?
But no, I find the two to be quite different. On me, Ungaro III is a green-feeling fougere with a fresh side. I remember when I got it, I thought the juice inside did NOT match the presentation of the bottle, but I dug it nonetheless. Zino, is a thick, smooth (to my nose) patchouli based floral-heart scent that is bold, and has proven itself to be quite polarizing. Especially in recent days on BN here.....have you seen the "I Hate Zino" thread?
No, I haven't seen the I Hate Zino thread. I'll have to look that one up and give it a read. I was reading a bunch of Ungaro III threads and Zino kept coming up. That's what piqued my curiosity.
You're totally right about the Ungaro III bottle, by the way. It doesn't match the juice at all!
Well, LHBI, all I gotta say is that if you like woodsy, patchouli scents with a dark flair, Zino will fall in your favor. The florals do a lot of the heavy lifting in regard to Zino. I like it, myself, and yes, it was at one point a real darling of the boards here. But that's OK if others dislike it.....more for me.
Yes, they produce same feeling to me - sadness, yet pleasant. Not to discuss notes.
Wow. Ungaro III makes you feel sad? Interesting! I get that sort of vibe from Narcisso Rodriguez for him, but not Ungaro III. For some reason, UIII makes me feel optimistic... it smells like spring is on the way. I suppose the darkness of the scent is why it smells like spring is on the way rather than actually smelling like spring to me. Sadly, I haven't gotten great feedback on it. I was told by a friend that it smelled great, but she was surprised I liked it so much since it smelled like something an older man would wear. I'm in my late 30s and have a baby face, so I tend to get mistaken for being in my late 20s. I definitely don't want to give off an old man vibe!
To me UIII doesn't make me sad but somehow tender,careful,romantic,dreaming, sensitive, wary. Which is not the typical "me" at all. Like Paninaro said, still pleasant. It's one of my "5-star" -fragrances, a very loved one. Have not smelled the reformulated UIII, so this goes for the original French made version.
Zino is more dirty, dark, concrete, thick, soft vs. UIII like said before, sharp, rosey, thin,sensible, abstract

2012 Warehouse/DC Operations Survey: Mixed signals
November 01, 2012 - MMH Editorial
After years of slow economic progress, the results of the Supply Chain Group's 2012 Warehouse and Distribution Center (DC) Operations Survey show two schools of thought emerging from the ashes: There are those companies that remain cautious, staying conventional with minimal plans for expansion; and there are those on the verge of making significant investments and changes to their distribution operations.
Designed to gauge activities and trends in warehousing and DCs, our annual survey offers a first-hand look into the state of today's DC and warehouse operations. In September, a survey questionnaire was sent via email invitation to Supply Chain Group subscribers. The survey gleaned 805 qualified responses (a new record for this survey) from upper-level managers to CEOs—all personally involved in decisions regarding their company's warehouse and DC operations.
Most participating companies came from manufacturing (44%), followed by distributors (28%), third-party providers (9%) and retailers (8%). An assortment of products handled in the DC was once again well-represented with food and grocery leading the pack at 11%, followed by industrial/chemical at 10%, and electronics and building materials, tied for third, at 8% each.
This year's findings revealed mixed signals coming from opposite ends of the spectrum. About 52% of respondents are adopting a more cautious approach, spending less than $250,000 for warehousing equipment and technology in 2012.

Known for her exceptional beauty, Patience Emmalina Dare has been pursued by admirers ever since coming of age. But suitor after suitor fails to inspire her love – or her desire. Certain she will never find a man who touches her deeply, she decides to forgo marriage in favor of pursuing her music. But just when Patience thinks she has her life well in hand, a passionate kiss with her enigmatic brother-in-law awakens a powerful need in her. How will she reconcile her desire for him and her desire for a life that's her own – and what will she do when he shows her a deep and hidden part of herself that she never knew existed?
When the secret of his illegitimate birth pushes Matthew Morgan Hawkmore from his place in society, the darkly handsome half-brother of the Earl of Langley plots his resurrection and his revenge. Betrayed and abandoned by the women he believed loved him, he swears to never again be controlled by love. But despite his vow, he is unable to resist the beautiful Patience, whose strength and self-reliance hide a need that he is perfectly suited to fulfill. Can he have her without loving her? What will he give up to keep her? And will her passionate surrender be the one thing that can stop him from making a tragic mistake that could destroy them both…
Publisher: Berkley
Genre: Historical Romance
Single Title/Series: Book two in the Passion Quartet.
Cover Thoughts: For a long time the cover wasn't to my liking, but after reading the novel, I'm amazed at how well it portrayed Matthew and Patience. I especially love the corseted female. She reminds me of many intimate scenes and I love how the Berkley art department took that into consideration. So, I'm recanting my earlier dislike. This is a beautiful cover and a lovely representation of the relationship within.
Why I Read It: I've read PASSION so many times in order to endure the long wait for its sequel that I had to buy a replacement for my tattered copy. Knowing that, no way was I going to miss out PATIENCE.
My Review:
PATIENCE is the story of two strong-willed, independent creatures that have each been betrayed by those whom they trustingly gave their hearts only to be found lacking. Now, having brutally learned their lesson, neither is interested in repeating their previous pain but thankfully there's an undeniable pull that draws these two fated beings together. And once in each others arms, their well fortified walls begin crumble as if so much dust.
An incomparable beauty, Patience Emmalina Dare is coveted by all the male members of the ton. As they preen, peck and squawk their candidacy as potential suitors, they know not that their efforts fall upon deaf ears for Patience has no desire to belong to any man. Instead, her heart - her everything - belongs to her cello and the music she persuades from its strings for you see, her instrument could never forsake her, can never ever leave her thus providing the perfect guard against any who contrive to poach upon her love. However, despite Patience's instrumental guard, she also recognizes a deep-seeded yearning for one man that has the very real potential to obliterate all that she is but the secrets he dangles before her are utter temptation and they have her leaping for a glimpse of the freedom he offers.
Matthew Morgan Hawkmore, formally the second son of an earl but now a known bastard and recent social pariah of the ton, is grasping with white knuckles to the remaining pieces of his former life that he can still call his own. But there are those that would glory at seeing his financial demise and none is more hungry for that than Archibald Benchley - the Earl of Benchley and Matthew's would be father-in-law if news of his bastard birth had never made light. Accused of withholding his bastardy from "good society", Matthew has been snubbed by those he had once called friends and now to have his name and his honor slandered atop of the fierce financial crush that Benchley has heaped upon him, the desire for revenge has him swirling in an all encompassing darkness of anger and hatred. There is only one light capable of piercing through the black that is now Matthew's tarnished soul and that is Patience. Her goodness and her light calls to him, beckoning with sensual promise as well as soothing acceptance.
It's really no surprise that from an early age, Matthew recognized and cultivated a burning need and desire to sexually dominate. With evidence of his already controlling nature, his role as a sexual dominant is no coincidence for he's a man that inherently seeks control - needs control - and in his current uncontrollable and crumbling world this unequivocal need to dominate gravitates him on a very primal level towards Patience. As if viewing a mirror image of himself, Matthew recognizes a deep-seeded and complicated pain within her and his reaction to it is fierce. Ultimately, Matthew desperately craves Patience's absolute surrender; to strip her of all her fortified walls, crumble her resistance, and tear asunder the pain that has burdened her so greatly. Perhaps by unleashing and healing Patience, Matthew can heal his own dark pain and the only way he knows how to do this is by requiring her complete and utter submission.
Patience, nervous and unsure of the submission Matthew is demanding, follows him with a tentative trust. No man has ever demanded anything of her and while she should be affronted by his commands, instead Matthew brings to light a curious feeling that she's never before felt; one that awakens a previously dormant and unknown faucet of her nature that ultimately causes her to grasp hold of it with desperate hands and an aching heart. Soon, Patience finds solace in her submissive bonds. She no longer has to control her thoughts or maintain her strict independence for in truth they're not her nature. She was meant to be a nurturer, a calm example but instead she became closed off, seemingly un-needing of anyone but her cello. For years Patience has unknowingly forced herself into something she's not and with Matthew's help she's released from these constricting bonds of her own making and instead basks in the silken bonds of his dominance.
However, while Patience unveils hidden aspects of her personality, hauntingly painful moments in her past, as well as gifted Matthew with her complete trust, he's hidden a plan from her that could potentially tear apart their burgeoning relationship. His revenge scheme for his enemy, Archibald Bentley, has escalated to such a high degree that Matthew recognizes no moral bounds. It's kill or be killed in his mind and he has every intention of beating Benchley to the punch despite the fact that his conscience is saying he's wrong. There's strong evidence of this because Matthew does his absolute best to make sure that Patience is kept completely in the dark from his nefarious plotting. She is everything that is good and beautiful in his world and to make his plans known to her would only spell his doom. Instead, Matthew is so twisted with anger and hatred that he becomes nearly blinded by the revenge he seeks rather than the cling to the love he's already been given by the woman that longs to lighten his world.
My Thoughts:
Truly, what I think surprised me the most about PATIENCE, and it's not the unbelievable depths that Valdez explored with the D/s relationship between Matthew and Patience, but the fact that it didn't resemble PASSION in any way. Instead, the novel is compellingly unique and held its own superbly against its famous predecessor. That accomplishment in and of itself is rare and quite splendid. Bravo Ms. Valdez!
That being said, I must admit that I'm shocked at the negative reviews this novel has received. This was a daring work of art that was, for me at least, incredibly moving and beautiful to experience. Every moment meant something and I basked in the depth that Valdez took her characters as each and every barrier is sensually stripped to reveal the true Matthew and Patience. Even more shocking was that people were perplexed that Matthew discerns Patience's submissiveness seemingly "out of the blue". I disagree. There were plenty examples of Patience's unknown desire to submit. It was in her voice, her words, her false independence, and most importantly it was her reaction to Matthew. Extending beyond that, the relationship was explored slowly with Matthew giving Patience every chance to leave. How else could she have known of this desire? It's not like she knew the lifestyle existed. What did readers expect Matthew to do, ask her directly about a subject she knows nothing about? Have a discussion over tea? He's a sexual dominant who knows that he must dominate. He's been practicing for years thus helping him to recognize Patience's hidden nature.
The negativity, in my opinion, stems mostly from a simple dislike of D/s. I believe that you must have at least an appreciation for the Dominant/submissive dynamic in order to fully enjoy a novel of this nature. If this is not something you enjoy or desire to read, then you're only going to see it as derogatory and your inner feminist will rear its head and scream foul. The relationship that Valdez has written is fluent with the D/s stories that I've read and loved from the masters and to read it in a historical setting by such a passionate author was an absolute dream and one I will not be forgetting soon.
I've also had a friend email me saying that she didn't see the romance at all in PATIENCE and again, I'm shocked. For me, every word spoken, every touch bestowed, taken and demanded was romance. This is a novel that focuses nearly completely on the hero, heroine and their struggle. Its dissected and explored with graphic but sensual sex scenes that will most definitely leave you breathless if not squirming in your seat. From beginning to end, PATIENCE is romance, one that I will most certainly be returning to for seconds, thirds and more.
If you love intense romance with graphic sex, x-rated language, an uber alpha hero who also happens to be a sexual dominant, and a complex heroine who lives and breathes to submit to her hero, than PATIENCE is the historical romance for you.
