President Barack Obama has signed the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act, endorsing into law military spending policy for fiscal 2012. The contentious bill has made waves across the country for its provisions that allow for indefinite military detainment of suspected terrorists, including U.S. citizens on American soil.
The bill provides for $554 billion for the military's base budget and $116 billion in overseas contingency operations spending.
Obama issued a signing statement in whch he detailed his reservations about provisions related to mandatory military detention of suspected terrorists, potentially including American citizens.
"Ultimately, I decided to sign this bill not only because of the critically important services it provides for our forces and their families and the national security programs it authorizes, but also because the Congress revised provisions that otherwise would have jeopardized the safety, security, and liberty of the American people," Obama wrote in the signing statement.
Obama signed the bill on Dec. 31, 2011.

In the latest issue: Looking back on three decades of big stories in federal IT.
Get the full issue
The National Background Investigations Bureau announced the appointment of its first director as the agency prepares to take over processing government background checks.
Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) said agencies are missing out on younger workers because of the government's rigidity, particularly its protracted hiring process.
Since 1987, FCW has covered it all -- the major contracts, the disruptive technologies, the picayune scandals and the many, many people who make federal IT function. Here's a look back at six of the most significant stories.
A short-term funding bill is expected by Sept. 30 to keep the federal government operating through early December, but after that the options get more complicated.
The DOD is opening a new Defense Innovation Unit Experimental office in Austin, Texas, while Congress debates legislation that could defund DIUx.
A House panel approved a new IT modernization bill that appears poised to pass, but key funding questions are left for appropriators.
Foster's comments above says it all for how divided this president has made this country. "Theres another $700 billion welfare check written to the ruling elites of the the military/defense corporations and oil companies…" This country owes a lot to the people who served in the military and those who have worked for the so called evil defense corporations. Yeah let's just give everything to education and social programs because they are working out so great! We spend more money on education (average 9k per student/per year) and our children are still losing ground to the rest of the world. Social programs, Really! There is so much fraud across the board it's a joke. Millions of dollars are going to the deceased or bogus claims, but let's spend more money. Here is a new approach, let's stop politicizing EVERYTHING and clean up both ends of the spectrum! Instead of blaming each other we could try and actually fix something, but then who could we point fingers at if did just that?
the press, as far as i can see, hasn't even made a peep about this. but if it were signed into law by a republican they would raise wholly heck about it.
what next!!?? "big brother"?
We spend 5 times the current military budget on health care. The FDA has allowed foods that are unhealthy for Americans to eat and they get cancer which is very expensive to treat. We can survive financially if we would all significantly reduce the amount of animal protein we eat to 5% of total protein intake and eat more beans, fruits and vegetables and eliminate milk from the diet. This has reversed heart disease and is proven but we still want the dollar menu at the fast food joints because it is quick and convenient. We need to eat local and eat organic if we want to be healthy otherwise you significantly increase your chances of getting cancer. Cancer is an epidemic and we need to take action now. I suggest you watch "forks over knives" and you will learn about how eating is directly related to health.
Theres another $700 billion welfare check written to the ruling elites of the the military/defense corporations and oil companies that come straight from the American taxpayer, much of which will be wasted on fraud, inefficiency, waste, overseas oil, and unecessary corporate excess.....and, we have a dent in the Constitutionally granted civil rights kicker. The greatest transfer of wealth the world has ever known....the United States military. How much are we going to spend on all education and social programs combined in 2012?
This is an embarrassment to all that our founding fathers fought and sacrificed for. They wrote provisions into the constitution to prevent these very things because they were victims of such tyranny.We have come to an age in which our democracy has turned against its own citizens. Don't like your neighbor, just "inform" on them: no right to face your accuser, no right to see the evidence against you, no write to a jury trial of your peers, no right of Habeas Corpus. Just indefinite imprisonment for as long as the government wants to use trumped up charges against you, for any reason. Mark your calendar, 2011-12-31, the day the Constitution was stabbed in the heart. 2012 is the end of the world as we have known it. And for what, to protect some squatters in a foreign country?

I challenge you to read this and NOT have the will to click share.
No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay. While Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full pay retirement after serving one term. It just does not make any sense.
If each person that reads this will click share, in three days, most people in the United States of America will have the message.. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."

A federal grand jury has returned a two-count indictment for wire fraud against Charles Augustus Banks, IV, former financial adviser to recently retired San Antonio Spurs All-Star Tim Duncan.
Banks turned himself in Friday and appeared in a federal courtroom, where the indictment was unsealed.
Duncan is seeking to recover millions from Banks, alleging the 49-year-old investment counselor schemed to defraud him by steering him toward investments that were conflicts of interest. Banks is accused of mishandling more than $20 million of Duncan's money.
The indictment alleges that between 2012 and 2013, Banks encouraged Duncan to loan $13.5 million to Gameday, a company for which Banks was the chairman. He did not reveal to Duncan that he personally benefited from the loans in the form of millions of dollars.
The indictment further alleges that in June 2013, Banks used Duncan's signature to increase a $6 million investment in Comerica Bank to $13.5 million without his knowledge or consent.
In a second lawsuit filed in November 2015, Duncan alleges that Banks led him to invest $1.1 million in a cosmetics company. According to the Associated Press, Duncan alleges Banks falsely claimed the company, Le Metier de Beaute, was profitable when it was actually near bankruptcy. The company has since shut its doors.
Duncan made nearly $240 million in his 19-year NBA career. Duncan won five NBA titles with the Spurs and was a 15-time All-Star.
Banks faces up to 20 years in federal prison on each wire fraud charge. He was released on bond following his initial appearance Friday.

In the past 2 years I have had the great fortune to work as a User Experience (UX) Designer for Starbucks. While there are many UX Designers in this company, I have the unique position to design the user experience for our employees (partners) by creating web-based content to train, inform and support them everyday. I am constantly driven to improve the usability of our digital platforms, the effectiveness of our content and the learning experience for our partners.

The Price of Matt Schaub's Ear: $50K & One-Game Suspension
Losing on your home field to a team you might have to beat in the NFL playoffs? Priceless.
Taking off a chunk of the opposing QB's ear with a cheap hit? Not so priceless. In fact, it has quite the specific price tag attached.
And that tag, according to the league, is....$50,000. Plus a one-game suspension during which you no doubt can contemplate how little $50K means to the average NFL linebacker, after which you will no doubt smile to yourself and ponder again how you got one over on Texans, quarterbacks everywhere and league officials.
Denver Broncos linebacker Joe Mays received word today about his punishment for the hit he gave Texans quarterback Matt Schaub in Sunday's 31-25 Houston win.

The helmet-to-helmet hit came in the third quarter as the game was slipping out of the Broncos' reach before they launched a semi-comeback. It knocked off Schaub's helmet, in the process taking off a chunk of the QB's earlobe.
We tried to compare Schaub's ear-osity to other similar incidents in the past, but couldn't finally decide on a decent metric. Best to leave it to the experts in New York, we guess.
Mays has been caught at this kind of thing before. He apologized to Schaub, which no doubt eased much of the Texan's physical pain, and has said he is considering appealing the suspension.

The Sea of Estrogen
We are a house of women. Well, Colby is a guy…but he is the only one. I often make fun of Colby for being the only man in a house of women. I kid him about living in a sea of estrogen and how he feasibly could have a wife in menopause while having daughters going through puberty. In a word…he is screwed.

Ben Gregg, organizer of 'IT Job Seekers Greater Boston' Meetup Group has changed the settings for the group.
Members can now add Meetups. Meetups can now be announced by either the Organizer or when 3 people say they are going. You can post a Meetup at http://www.meetup.com/BostonITJobSeekers/
Hi folks!
I hope everyone's doing well. I know it's been a while since we had our last meetup, but following low turn outs in June and July, it was starting to seem as though everyone had Jobs!
However, with the many recent additions to our membership (welcome!), I'm suggesting that we plan our next meetup for the 4th Wednesday of October. After that, I'd like to step back and open it up to the rest of you to plan or suggest meetings going forward.
Also, if someone would like to take over as the groups organizer, I'd be happy to pass that role on to who ever would like to take it on as well.
Best regards,

If I learned anything after making this gorgeous sandwich, inspired by one that I recently fell in love with at my local haunt Southie and literally ordered 3 days in row, it's that I should really make sandwiches a bigger part of my weekly lunchtime repertoire. Especially when it involves layers of all of my favorite ingredients. The combination of herby ricotta, crunchy zucchini, peppery watercress, creamy avocado and zesty sun-dried tomato into a single sando is summer epitomized. It's so simple but oh, so tasty. Plus, it keeps well which makes it a great picnic option! There's really nothing else to say except that it's honestly YUM.
Chocolate Cynar Flip
Oh Cynar, how you're misunderstood. No one can pronounce your name (chee-nar), people hardly even know you, and when they do, they assume you taste like artichokes. Not surprising, I suppose. It might be time for an outfit change . . . just a thought. ICYMI, Cynar is yet another lovely Italian amaro. Yes, artichoke is one of the many flavoring ingredients, but certainly not pronounced, if even noticeable. It is, IMHO (okay, that's enough with the acronyms) a quintessential amaro. Bright, bold Italian label? Check. Bitter, sweet, and herbal all at the same time? Check. Although Cynar definitely leans more bitter than sweet, which I appreciate. That being said, today we're making a dessert drink – our first since the Spanish Coffee, if I remember correctly. I first heard about Cynar flips from the one and only Jeffrey Morgenthaler, who in turn credits his friend Ben Sandrof for his discovery. What I loved so much about that cocktail was that it combined both Cynar and the flip, both under appreciated, into one magical libation. It's luscious, it's creamy, and dare I say . . . it's sophisticated? I decided to take it one step further into full dessert mode by substituting the sugar for a homemade chocolate syrup. My friends, you no longer need be afraid of Cynar, nor flips for that matter. Chocolate Cynar Flips FTW!! Wait, I said no more acro—oh whatever. Cheers!
The HP Spectre
A few weeks ago, with the help of director Tatia Pilieva, I had the pleasure of meeting the the new HP Spectre for the first time. I must say, it was intrigue at first sight. It's impossible not be immediately drawn to the laptop's luxurious color palette, with its ash-colored matte aluminum body and shiny copper trim. And first feel, it's no surprise that the HP Spectre is the world's thinnest laptop, weighing in at only 2.5 lbs and comparable to the width of a AAA battery. With the amount of recipe research and photo editing we do here at HonestlyYUM, I knew this would be the ideal tool of us to use in the kitchen and to take on the road. Although we're just getting our feet wet with this sleek number, breaking it in with some fun recipes, we're excited to share all the exciting adventures we'll be taking it along this summer. Stay tuned! And the meantime, be sure to take a minute to check out how we feel about our laptops and our first encounter after the jump . . .
The Cheeseboard's Papi Chulo Sauce
If you're not familiar with Berkeley's beloved Cheese Board Collective, let me fill you in. In the 1970s, The Cheese Board, along with Peet's Coffee, was one of the first gourmet establishments in a little area of North Berkeley, which is now known as the Gourmet Ghetto. Soon after it's success, Alice Waters open Chez Panisse across the street and well, you know – the rest is history. Today, the worker owned and operated business continues to thrive with a cheese shop, bakery, and pizzeria. Sitting down to an entire pie and cold brews, while listening to live music, has become a family tradition. And if you're a regular like I am, then you know what I'm talking about when I say that Cheeseboard Pizza isn't Cheeseboard Pizza without their Papi Chulo hot sauce. Holy Moly. This stuff is GOLD. If you like cilantro and green peppers, then you'll love this green sauce. I can't believe it's taken me years to attempt to recreate it at home but hot damn, I think I've got it pretty close. Make this sauce. Drizzle it over pizza, grilled meats, tacos, eggs . . . everything. Trust.
Bay Laurel Martini + Fog Point Vodka
Anyone from the Bay Area can tell you that the fog is as much a part of daily life as the California sun, perhaps even more so. Born and raised here in Berkeley, I feel a particularly strong connection with the fog. Like an ocean wave it rolls over the coastal hills, across the bay, and engages all of my senses. Growing up, my friends and I used to explore the Berkeley paths, trying our best to get lost in the cool, dense fog. Countless times have been spent wandering the misty hills with my pup, and more recently exploring the Tilden Park trails with Fiona. In short, there are few places I'd rather be; it's home, my happy place. Thus, you can imagine my intrigue after hearing that Hangar 1 was producing vodka made from California fog!
Fog Point Vodka is made by catching fog from various locations around Northern California, and turning that fog into clean, fresh water. That water (60% of vodka is water) is then blended into vodka made from wine sourced from Bonny Doon Vineyard, just north of Santa Cruz. Coincidentally, the only time I've lived outside the immediate Bay Area was to attend school at Santa Cruz. I'm telling you, this vodka is me in a bottle. Scratch that, scary thought!! Unfortunately, the drought also plays a prominent roll in our daily lives as Californians. Thus, I'm pleased to say that all of the profits from Fog Point Vodka will go toward water conservation efforts.
Cantaloupe Panzanella
The star fruit in a classic panzanella is the tomato. The juices of the tomato soak into dried toasted bread turning the bread into a sponge of delicious summer flavors (except with better texture than an actual sponge). Panzanella is a traditional Tuscan salad and this time I've swapped out a few of the ingredients for some untraditional but equally as delicious ingredients. For starters, the cantaloupe is the highlight here. The key to this salad is finding good quality cantaloupe. I think a Tuscan cantaloupe has more of that sweet musky flavor and is usually juicier. You want a juicy flavorful cantaloupe so that the juices soak into the bread. I've also added some cured meats like hard salami and prosciutto, but of course, if you wanted to keep this vegetarian you can omit them and the dish would still be just as delicious. The recipe is imprecise but that's what I love most about casual summer cooking– taste as you go and adjust according to your preferences!

You've probably heard about the recent launch of "The Colson Center" by Prison Fellowship. I've been looking forward to this for quite a while, having a personal passion for apologetics and seeing Christians trained in world-view thinking.
Chuck Colson recently shared with your listeners about this project. It's an amazing site combining everything for a strong world-view training. There are articles, commentary, a "Worldview Gym," and eventually there is going to be classes and even a worldview bookstore.
I'm sure you can think of a project you've done that is just so close to your heart, so inline with your passions and commitment that you couldn't help but share your enthusiasm for it with others. That's exactly how Chuck is with this new project. Here's what he recently shared:
"I am absolutely thrilled that many thousands of BreakPoint® listeners visited ColsonCenter.org in the past week ....I hope that you can sense just a little of the excitement that I have about this new endeavor-an effort I plan to devote my remaining years of ministry to."
But Chuck's work with The Colson Center won't be sidetracking him from his commitment to BreakPoint® in anyway. He wanted to make sure you knew that as you continue to partner with us in ministry.
"Some people have asked me whether this means that I'm leaving prison ministry-and Prison Fellowship-behind. The answer is simple: No. In fact, I see my work for Christian worldview to be the natural consequence of my work among prisoners."
I sure hope you've gotten a chance to visit The Colson Center. If not, go ahead and take just five minutes to do that-you'll be glad you did. It's also a great resource to make sure your listeners know about. It's easy access to lots of material that's valuable in every day conversations and worldview thinking!
By the way, when we're talking about living a with a worldview that makes a difference, Mark Earley recently shared what a difference one professor made when he decided to make a micro-loan of $27. It's a great reminder that a robust Christian worldview is more than just knowledge...it's knowledge that leads to action!Download Promo Pack File »

ON FRIDAY January 15, early in the morning, an anonymous, eight storey-high banner reading "Zuma must fall" was unveiled in central Cape Town.
The space it occupied, on the corner of Kloof and Buitensingel streets, was a long-standing advertising spot operated by Independent Outdoor Media (IOM) that spans the seaward-facing façade of a residential block of flats at the top of Long Street.
The message, in stark, black capital letters on a white background, stacked the three words one on top of the other. It's unclear how much it cost, but estimates are between R200,000 and R400,000.
The message mirrored the core slogan disseminated by protesters in 2015. They had come together following the decision by President Jacob Zuma to dismiss finance minister Nhlanhla Nene in early December, sending the rand into free fall and decimating local markets.
In a December 20 article on The Daily Maverick website, head of the African National Congress (ANC) subcommittee on communications Jackson Mthembu complained the campaign revealed an anti-ANC bias among South African journalists and editors.
He warned the media they should be, "ever mindful that what they disseminate on social media platforms should be aligned with their commitment to objectivity and neutrality".
This account aims to document the ANC's reaction to the banner and some of the reporting on it, for the record.
Almost immediately following the unveiling of the banner speculation spread across social media as to who was responsible.
The Independent Group's main Twitter account, @IOL, tweeted: "Who is behind the giant #ZumaMustFall billboard? Is it @Our_DA or @EconFreedomZA? Tweet us your ideas! @IOL".
Other breaking news accounts, such as Eyewitness News, @EWNupdates, asked, "Whodunnit?".
Pictures of the banner soon went up in news stories across SA's online news network, accompanying stories that emphasised the mystery.
"Mystery 'Zuma Must Fall' billboard causes a stir in Cape Town", read a News24 story.
The Democratic Alliance (DA), which in the run-up to the 2014 elections had erected a number of anonymous billboards across the country, highly critical of the ANC, soon denied responsibility. National spokesperson Phumzile van Damme told the press, "It isn't ours."
Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema told eNCA news that his party was also not responsible for the banner, however, he applauded the sentiment.
By midafternoon, by which time interest was reaching fever pitch, the DA-run City of Cape Town administration had responded, declaring the banner illegal and in violation of city by-laws.
"It was erected by a private party. We also know that this person has done this before, also in contravention of the by-law, and so we want to ensure he faces the full might of the law," a city spokesperson said.
It was also said to have contravened the National Building Regulations and Standards Act.
The city statement emphasised that the administration was not responsible for the content of any given advertisement: "Applications are evaluated against the technical requirements of the by-law, such as the size of a billboard and, for instance, whether the erection would constitute a safety hazard."
The banner was deemed to have violated these conditions, although the statement did not explain expressly how. It is understood that, in practical terms, the problem was that the banner covered the windows of those apartments over which it hung. Later window shapes were cut out.
With regard to the content, the city referred the media to the Advertising Standards Authority of SA (Asasa). "Asasa is the national body to which members of the general public can complain when they deem advertising and/or marketing to be unacceptable."
Soon the ANC began to mobile against it. Late on Friday afternoon the Western Cape ANC issued a statement blaming the DA for the banner.
ANC Western Cape leader Marius Fransman said: "The DA supported the so-called campaign 'Zuma must fall' which had its largest gathering here in Cape Town (on December 16) — close to where the banner is draped on a building. And it happened in a DA-run province and city."
Fransman claimed people would "rather get rid of president Zuma than get rid of racism". He argued that "the owners of that building where the banner was erected and whoever paid for it, should account publicly why they can (sic) fight the black president and not the biggest evil facing our society, namely naked intolerance fanned by hatred and race supremacists".
Slowly, the ANC built up steam. At a function for the Jacob Zuma Foundation on Friday evening, Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry Mzwandile Masina likewise denounced the banner as racist: "Those few individuals who continue to be racist, to the point that they have money (to spend) instead of supporting students, insult the leader of the republic. We want to warn them that our patience is running out.
"I want to issue a very strong warning to those racists in Cape Town who are putting up boards undermining democracy that we have fought for. I want to say to them the anger of South Africans is building up to the point that it is boiling. And if they are not careful, they will go down in history to have caused the tensions that are unnecessary," he said.
In response, the Independent Group the following day went with the headline, "Zuma Must Fall: Cape racists warned".
On Saturday, ANC MP Bongani Mkongi wrote on his Facebook profile, "Join the ANC in Cape Town today at 14h00 to burn down the billboard saying 'ZumaMustFall'. The billboard must not be lifted down, but, burnt down!"
Below that, someone called Joelene Samuels pointed out, "We can't burn it down as it is pasted on an apartment block, people inside the apartments will burn to death."
To this Mkongi replied, "They must burn to death as it is life to them to keep it that way."
The DA sent Mkongi's remarks to the parliamentary ethics committee for investigation. He later apologised, saying, "While I stand by my post that the banner must fall, and I am pleased that it fell, I apologise for the second part of my message that suggested the banner must burn with the building."
In the same apology he said, "Any agitation for the removal of a democratically elected President outside of the election is unconstitutional, dangerous and must never be condoned."
The ANC stated it would not be taking any action against Mkongi on the grounds that he had offered an apology.
That afternoon, just after 3pm, by which stage the banner and the controversy surrounding it was fairly ubiquitous across the media, a group of ANC and South African Communist Party (SACP) supporters gathered to destroy the banner. They climbed the building to the roof and entered various flats from which they hacked at the banner from open windows. It took two hours but, eventually, the banner was torn down the middle and only fragments remained.
SABC News ran a relatively positive story on the ANC's actions. It included the following: "They arrived just after 3 o'clock. Bracing the scorching heat, they climbed the building's rooftop and started pulling down the billboard, using everything at their disposal, including their bare hands. It was a daring move, which required creativity and bravery."
Interviewed in that same story, Xolani Sotashe, the ANC regional leader who had led the group, said: "Our presence here is to really send a very strong message to whoever put this insulting billboard here, that, look, freedom of speech, we accept that, but we can't allow a situation where the head of the country is being insulted, and then, as the ANC, the organisation where he belongs, we keep quiet."
He descried it as "insulting" for the city to claim the banner contravened by-laws and that it would be dealt with by the proper authorities.
"For this group of brave activists, it was all in a day's work," concluded the story.
Entirely absent from the SABC's story, however, was the conduct of the ANC group outside the building, who attacked some residents. It was alleged one of them had shouted a profanity at the crowd. Police were on the scene but did not act, either with regard to the assaults or to the ANC's two-hour systematic destruction of the banner.
EWN reported "Chaos as 'Zuma must fall' billboard comes down". The story carried various clips of ANC supporters assaulting members of the public.
In another story on EWN ran an eyewitness account from Aletta Harrison. In it, after having observed the initial confrontation, she wrote:
"Somewhat shaken by what had just happened, I returned to the front of the building where I saw another photographer who asked me if I was OK. In the fray he had been punched in the face by one of the ANC supporters and his glasses had been smashed. He said when he asked the man why he had hit him, he was told: 'Because you're white'."
The account carries a video clip of the ANC group, with one member at the back shouting and pointing: "Go back to where you came from, you don't belong here!"
In a later story, TimesLive interviewed a number of the residents.
Cleaner Charmaine Vos is quoted as saying, "I thought they were going to break the door down. I stood in the corner because I was scared. When I looked over the balcony, I started shaking and trembling because I was in shock. Police stood around like puppets doing nothing. Nothing like this has happened in the 22 years that I've been here."
It was reported elsewhere that Sotashe had issued an ultimatum to the city on leaving, warning that the rest of the banner should be immediately removed. "We are giving you 24 hours to clear this thing here. Next time when we come here it's not going to be nice."
The City of Cape Town said the conduct of the ANC would also be referred to the South African Police Service for investigation.
It is unclear what has come of the investigation. Despite the raft of video evidence available online, apparently no one has been charged.
In the days that followed the incident, the ANC continued to lay blame on the DA.
In a subsequent statement, ANC chief whip Stone Sizani would claim, "The DA has been pulling all the stops to defend and justify racism and promotion of apartheid amongst its membership, and has thus sought to create an expensive stunt to deflect from the negative attention it has been suffering."
Later in the same statement he argued, "It is clear that there was a conspiracy between the DA-governed Metro and the company that put up the illegal banner, with the city turning a blind eye and publicly acting outraged by the illegal erection."
The SACP too would make similar claims. In an article, titled "'#ZumaMustFall' campaign finds its origins from the DA", SACP Western Cape provincial spokesperson, writing in his "personal capacity", said the banner represented, "another desperate attempts to delegitimise Peoples' Power".
However, he took the matter possibly to its ultimate conclusion, stating: "As we join the puzzle together, it is difficult to ignore a possibility of a collaboration of domestic and foreign hand, whose primary aim is to destabilise SA. These attempts target Cape Town, a capital of 'White Supremacy' as an entry point of 'Regime Change' agenda."
It has been difficult to get comment from the individual or individuals responsible for the banner itself. We know only that they have done this before.
Independent Outdoor Media's Brent Dyssell, the owner of the space on which the billboard was hung, would say in an interview the banner was "nothing more than a social message that was being communicated through freedom of expression, which is a constitutional recognised right as I understand it, in terms of the constitution".
Asked if saw "any of this coming", Dyssell replied: "Absolutely not in anyone's wildest dreams."

Wikileaks "Revelation" of Innocent Guantanamo Detainees is No News to Those in the Know
Today's revelation that 150 innocent men were imprisoned in the US concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba may come as a surprise to some. But to those who have been keeping a close eye on the prison since it opened, this "news" is anything but.
British journalist and author Andy Worthington, possibly the world's foremost authority on all things Guantanamo, said the classified American documents leaked to the whistle-blowing website Wikileaks (allegedly by jailed US soldier Bradley Manning) "confirm what people who've studied Guantanamo for years have always maintained." In an interview with Democracy Now's Amy Goodman, Worthington pointed out that some of the information in the leaked files "has come out in Pentagon documents that have been released over the years officially," chiefly that "there have only been a very small number of genuine terrorism suspects at Guantanamo and the rest have included large numbers of innocent people."
Many of you believed former President George W. Bush when he declared with typical cocksure certainty that every last GITMO detainee was a hardcore terrorist; the "worst of the worst." Many even believed Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman General Richard Myers when he asserted that Guantanamo detainees were so hardcore that they would "chew through a hydraulics cable to bring a C-17 [transport plane] down."
Even before the current leak of classified US documents proving innocent men, who ranged in age from a 14-year-old kidnapping victim to an 89-year-old with dementia, were locked up for years at Guantanamo, American officials of all ranks were trying their best to draw attention to this grave injustice.
Erik Saar, a US Army translator at Guantanamo, says that "at best… a few dozen" of the hundreds of GITMO detainees were real terrorists.
Brandon Neely, a former military policeman at Guantanamo, described his experiences serving as a guard at the concentration camp:
"When I initially learned of my deployment to Guantanamo and the purpose we were going for, I was ready to go and face the world's most dangerous men; these terrorists who had plotted and killed thousands of my people on [9/11]. I was ready to seek my own personal revenge on these people in whatever manner I could. Then came the day when these 'world's most dangerous men' arrived. Most of them were small, underweight, very scared and injured. I was expecting these people to come off that bus looking like vicious monsters."
The first prisoner Neely saw had one leg. They called him "Stumpy." One sad specimen after another exited the arrival bus. "Those were the worst people the world had to offer?" Neely asked himself. "Not what I expected!"
The Pentagon's own documents prove that 55% of Guantanamo prisoners did nothing to harm the United States. Only 8% were suspected terrorists. Nine out of ten were sold to US troops in order to collect bounty payments as high as $5,000 per head, a staggering sum in a country where the average Afghan earned around $800 a year.
Colonel Lawrence B. Wilkerson, who was former Secretary of State Colin Powell's chief of staff, says many GITMO detainees "clearly had no connection to al-Qaeda and the Taliban and were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Pakistanis turned many over for $5,000 a head." The colonel says innocent men have been imprisoned in Guantanamo for many years.
Wilkerson, a 31-year Army veteran, claims President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld conspired to cover up the detention of innocent men at Guantanamo in order to protect their plans to invade Iraq. "[Cheney] had absolutely no concern that the vast majority of Guantanamo detainees were innocent," said the colonel, "If hundreds of innocent individuals had to suffer in order to detain a handful of hardcore terrorists, so be it."
Another reason, decidedly less sinister, for holding innocent men for extended periods was the hope that they would provide a "mosaic" of intelligence on real bad guys. These detainees were pawns in a sick game of connect the dots. Only problem is, these "dots" had wives and kids back home; many of them were innocent men whose lives would be forever changed by their treatment at Guantanamo. Some would indeed become real terrorists once they were released. And can you blame them? What would you do if a foreign country wrongfully imprisoned and tortured you for years on end, even while knowing you were innocent?

Following a tardy progress in the most ambitious Gold Monetisation Scheme since its launch on November 5 last year by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Finance Ministry has called another meeting of all stakeholders on March 18 to discuss why the scheme is not gaining momentum.
Till February, a little over 1 tonne of gold was mobilised under the scheme compared to nearly 4 tonne of sale of sovereign gold bonds in first two tranches while third tranche is still open.
Interestingly at a time when jewellers are on a strike opposing imposition of excise duty in the Union Budget, government has preferred not to invite all trade bodies. Hence only Indian Bullion and Jewellers Association (IBJA) has been called for meeting while Gems and Jewellery Foundation has not been invited. From refiners' side, many representatives have been asked to attend.
Secretary Economic Affairs Shaktikanta Das will chair the meeting while Secretary Financial Services, other government and RBI officials, official from Commerce Ministry, Indian Banks Association and chairpersons of leading banks active in gold scheme including Arundhati Bhattacharya, Chanda Kocher among other banks have also been asked to be part of the meeting.
Along with them president of hallmarking centres association and Bureau of Indian Standards will also be there. Under the scheme, banks, refineries and hallmarking centres which would be working as collection and purity testing centres have to sign tripartite agreement for the scheme. This has been the biggest issue because of which the scheme is not taking off as such agreements are not getting signed and the issues raised by all stakeholders are raising problems which are not easy to solve.
From commodity derivatives side, NCDEX CEO will be part of the meeting as it has also proposed how its platform can be used for mobilising idle gold.
IBJA has also proposed a scheme where jewellers can act as a collection and purity testing centers and mobilise idle gold which can be used productively. IBJA had proposed to open 1000 such centeres across country. These schemes would also be discussed.
Jewellers to continue their stir
Jewellers are on an indefinite strike and today in Mumbai they took out a huge rally attended by 20,000 jewellers and artisans opposing 1% excise on jewellery imposed in budget and asked for its removal. IBJA has decided to hold such rallies across country, said its press note.
Next rally is being held at Pune where, accordig to IBJA, one lakh jewellers are expected to attend. IBJA statement also said that in 9 days of strike Rs 15,000 crore worth business has been lost. Mumbai wholesale gold jewellers association has also participated in the rally.
