Deeplinks Blog posts about Anonymity
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco will hear oral arguments Tuesday in Doe v. Harris, EFF's challenge to California's Proposition 35, which requires registered sex offenders to turn over all of their Internet identifiers and service providers to local law enforcement authorities.
Many people want to build secure Internet services that protect their users against surveillance, or the illegal seizure of their data. When EFF is asked how to build these tools, our advice is: don't start from scratch. Find a public, respected, project which provides the privacy-protecting quality you want in your own work, and find a way to implement your dream atop these existing contributions.
So, for instance, the New Yorker's Strongbox, a dropbox for anonymous sources, uses Tor as its basis to provide anonymity to its users. If you want anonymity in your app, building your tool on top of Tor's backbone means you can take advantage of its experience and future improvements, as well as letting you contribute back to the wider community.
In one of the most significant leaks to date regarding National Security Agency (NSA) spying, the New York Times, the Guardian, and ProPublica reported today that the NSA has gone to extraordinary lengths to secretly undermine our secure communications infrastructure, collaborating with GCHQ (Britain's NSA equivalent) and a select few intelligence organizations worldwide.
EFF filed an amicus brief in an important case known as Du v. Cisco, where Chinese human rights activists have sued the US tech giant Cisco in Maryland federal court. The case alleges that Cisco knowingly customized, marketed, sold, and provided continued support and service for technologies used by the Chinese government to facilitate human rights abuses.
In his landmark report to the 23rd session of the Human Rights Council, Frank La Rue, the U.N's free speech watchdog, makes clear that anonymous expression and secure communication are critical for an open society. We gave you a quick look at that report yesterday. Now we want to take a deep dive into his support for your rights to anonymity and encryption, and what countries need to do to reflect his conclusions.

Get the Recipe
This is one of those fantastic ideas that was born not out of a concerted effort to have fantastic ideas, but through sheer dumb luck and lack of planning. If necessity is the mother of inventions, then poorly-stocked pantries are the uncle of new recipes. Or something like that.
The idea of using potato chips in place of slow-cooked potatoes in Spanish tortilla—the thick, moist, omelet-like dish of potatoes, onions, eggs, and olive oil that get passed out with glasses of wine or stuffed into sandwiches all over Spain—is not an original one. I first saw it in one of Spanish-born D.C. chef José Andrés's cookbooks and thought the idea was genius. The concept is that by folding potato chips into beaten eggs, they soften sufficiently that when you subsequently transfer the mixture to a pan full of hot olive oil, it fries up into a thick omelet that remains moist and creamy in the center, while getting a bit of extra crispness around the edges from the chips.
Well, late one night I was poking through the sorry detritus I found in my fridge, lamenting the fact that out of all the wonderful homemade and storebought condiments and sauces I had in there—a half dozen varieties of miso and more than a half dozen chili sauces, two flavors of homemade mayo, three varieties of soy sauce, anchovies, tomato sauce, crème fraîche, harissa (both domestic and Moroccan), bacon-cherry-pepper relish, etc.—the only actual real food I had was a few eggs, an onion, and a bag of Cape Cod salt and vinegar chips.
Hang on a minute, I thought. Suddenly a dim lightbulb flickered over my head. Or rather, José Andrés plucked the lightbulb from over his head and held it over mine for a very brief second. I think we may have something here.
I like eggs, I like tortillas, I like salt and vinegar chips—why not combine them?
I started by softening the onion in plenty of good olive oil, then transfered them to a bowl where I whisked in the eggs and folded in the potato chips before frying up the whole mixture until set.
The first attempt was not bad, but in all honesty, it needed a stronger vinegar punch. Easy enough. For the second (and final) batch, I added a bit of extra vinegar to the egg mixture with the chips, kicking it up into more mouth-puckering territory.
There's no real big trick to cooking a tortilla—the most difficult part comes when you have to flip it. Unlike, say, an Italian frittata, which gets finished by baking or broiling and has a lighter, fluffier texture, a tortilla should be dense and moist, the result of flipping and compressing while it cook, all while making sure that the eggs don't cook all the way through to the center. In a perfect tortilla, the middle should have the creamy texture of very lightly set scrambled eggs.
You can flip your tortilla using a plate, but I find that the easiest method is to actually use a metal or glass pot lid. Just hold it over the skillet using a towel, then flip the skillet and the lid together. The tortilla should end up on the lid, whereupon you can simply slide it out into the skillet to cook the second side.
What I really love is how many layers a potato chip-based tortilla gets, and how crisp the exterior becomes.
I normally serve my tortilla with allioli, a Spanish version of the garlic and olive-oil based Provençal sauce aïoli. But it somehow didn't seem right to match such a rustic, homemade sauce with a dish that was the product of tradition and modern snack culture. Instead, I decided to doctor up some regular old store-bought Hellman's mayo by whisking in some garlic and some really good Spanish olive oil.
The resulting sauce has the vinegary tang of Hellman's, but the rich, peppery flavor of good olive oil—the perfect foil to my salt and vinegar omelet.
I'm considering barbecue or sour cream and onion potato chip tortillas next, but I think I may wait until desperation and hunger kick in first.

Broccoli, Parmesan and Lemon
- 3 heads broccoli (about 3 pounds)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1 lemon, juiced
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Trim about 1 inch off the ends of the broccoli stalks and cut the broccoli lengthwise into spears. Arrange the broccoli on a nonstick cookie sheet, drizzle with some olive oil and season with a little bit of salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Transfer to the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
Remove the broccoli from the oven and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top and bake until the cheese melt and forms a crisp shell over the broccoli, about 10 minutes. Lift the broccoli out onto a platter with a spatula and drizzle with fresh lemon.

- " Good location, but not clean. Dirty bathrooms for Chinese standards in such hostels. Hot water coming after letting it run and wasting 10 minutes in the shared bathroom. Staff has poor english, though we might have been unlucky. They were very helpful anyway, trying their best to give us the directions for the local buses to the main tourist attractions. "

- " Great Hostel, just a bit outside the center of Xi'an. The staff were beyond nice and vry helpful. The only problem with the location is that they are near a busy mall and park. If you are driving, parking is difficult to find, and due to the maze of one way streets, you have to fight your way through traffic to get to the Hostel. If you're not driving, this won't be a problem for you! I would highly recommend this hostel. "

My company is replicating our I-series home-grown application to a .net platform for read-only. This .net app will provide customers with a typical web-based myAccount view as seen on many websites.
I have two questions for this forum:
1) For the read-only mirrored version on .net, does it make sense to have referential integrity (RI) constraints on file relationships? Either from a purist database design standpoint or from a common business rules standpoint? It seems to me that one HAS to assume that the source app has R-I that is intact, and it seems to be asking for trouble and headaches to try to enforce RI on a mirrored system that is read-only. This will require file loads and updates in a certain sequence, which could be problematic IMO.
2) Do other companies try to replicate an app onto another platform in almost real-time? It seems that it would be SOoooo much simpler to read the Iseries DB directly. Is this replication a common practice today? Or is it more suited to the 1990's?

Fireplace inserts are heating units that retrofit into an existing fireplace (masonry or factory-built). They burn wood, gas or wood pellets and offer superior efficiency. Fireplace inserts utilize the existing chimney, through a flue liner or other necessary modification, for venting. Vent-free fireplace inserts require no chimney or flue modification. Most have blowers to circulate the heat. Inserts are used to convert an existing fireplace into an efficient, heat producing zone heater.

If you want to mix history with your musical experience, enjoy a concert at the 3,700-seat DAR Constitution Hall. For several generations, this dark, cavernous old relic of an auditorium was used only for classical music and operas; now you can catch a diverse range of acts there at any given time. Tori Amos, the Isley Brothers, Bruce Springsteen and the artist formerly known as Prince have played Constitution Hall, as well as chamber groups and orchestras, including the Philadelphia Orchestra and (during the remodeling of the Kennedy Center Concert Hall) the National Symphony Orchestra.
The hall is one of three buildings housed in the D Street National Society of the DAR complex designed by John Russell Pope, adjoining the Beaux-Arts Memorial Continental Hall and Administration Building.
Although the NSO has called the Kennedy Center home since 1971, Constitution Hall was its prime venue for four decades before that, and the auditorium was the mainstay concert hall for national acts traveling through Washington. Located a block off the Ellipse, the hall smacks of all that is Old Washington with its ornate facades and vastness; but it still retains an elegant charm. Its acoustics, however, are infamous.
The late Antal Dorati, the third music director of the NSO, once complained that the auditorium's parallelogram shape helped make "acoustics to take one's shirt off...It is elementary that music cannot flourish in a place where it cannot be heard. Would anyone think of trying to display a painting in a room that is completely dark?"
Nonetheless, major acts still occasionally play at Constitution (Immature recently filmed a video there, too), and it looks like the hall will remain a fixture on the Washington music circuit. The Washington Opera also tentatively made a home for itself here while awaiting the completion of renovations at the Kennedy Center.

Understanding the interconnected nature of these factors and how a change in one impacted the others, Michael used this business framework to grow his business into the world's largest telecommunications infrastructure development provider which was eventually acquired, publicly traded, and Michael was named CEO of Tetra Tech Communications Group.

Follow Secretary Clinton's travel to the United Nations General Assembly.
Secretary Clinton is in New York City to attend the United Nations 64th General Assembly (UNGA). While in New York, Secretary Clinton will conduct a number of bilateral and multilateral meetings with her counterparts. Yesterday, Secretary Clinton started the day by ringing the Opening Bell of the New York Stock Exchange.
The Secretary also met with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili. The Secretary said, "We are working to try to ensure that Russia abides by the 2008 ceasefire, and hopefully to eventually reintegrate your country as it should be. We also know that working toward democracy and the changes that you're attempting to achieve are challenging, but we want to support and encourage the steps that need to be taken. And the United States supports Georgia, and we want to make that very clear and unequivocal statement here today."
The Secretary welcomed new Japanese Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada and said, "The alliance between the United States and Japan is a cornerstone of our foreign policy and indispensable to the security and prosperity of the Asia Pacific."
The Secretary met with Czech Foreign Minister Kohout. Before their meeting, the Secretary said, "The Czech Republic was very willing to work with the United States on behalf of missile defense in the past. We have, as you know, changed our approach, which we believe will actually provide greater coverage, and it will be rooted in technology that is ready to be employed. And we will be working with the Czech Republic again. We will be working within research and other approaches for the mutual and collective defense of our NATO allies. And we have a deep and long relationship with the Czech Republic, and I'm particularly pleased to have this opportunity to discuss a broad range of matters."
She also spoke with Costa Rican President Oscar Arias Sanchez and Costa Rican Foreign Minister Bruno Stagno Ugarte about Honduras and the return of President Zelaya and underscored U.S. support for the San Jose Accords that President Arias negotiated.
For the latest information from UNGA, follow the Secretary's travel to New York here.
Rosemary in New Jersey writes:
I am smiling because the State Department is calling this "travel" while for us up here, the Secretary is home. NY and NJ love Hillary Clinton and love having her here at home with us! Every time she graces NYC, NY State, and/or NJ it is a blessing.
Thanks, Hillary, for spending the week with us!
Stephen W. in New York writes:

64 Years of wasted time and resources spent on this U.N., just imagine how better nations will be off, what better instututions would have been created by teh International Community have this worthless U.N. org never existed.

10. Lies Perpetuated by the Government
I'm pretty sure this keeps getting shut down because they don't want you to know the truth. It's out there, man.
9. Ways to Start a Fight
Number one? Start a fight club.
8. People I Want to Start a Fight With
Number one? Tom Hanks. I'm not sure why — he's a really nice guy and "Road to Perdition" is a really good movie — but I bet fights til he's burger. Bring it, Forrest!
7. Sexual Positions
I was a bit shocked this one got denied. It's fun and cheeky. And no, donkey punch was never even considered, you sickos.
6. Household Drugs
Technically, this was someone else's idea, but it was rejected with such gusto that it has to be on the list.
5. Literary Drunks
This one is close to my heart because most of my favorite authors are also drunks. And wouldn't it be fun to contemplate who's greater (as a writer or a drunk), Bukowski or Hemmingway?
4. Cocks
Did you know there are thousands of breeds of roosters? My favorite is the Buff Orpington cock.
3. Weird Things James Franco Should Do Next
If you're coming up with strange things for Franco to do, you have to get uncomfortably weird. And for the record, I totally said Franco should canoodle with Seth Rogen to Kayne's music like a year ago. (In a related rejection, Top Ten Self-Indulgent Things Kanye Could Do Next. I totally called Kayne making that "Bound 2" video like a year ago. And Yeezus like two years ago.)

Treatment hasn't healed health act yet
The good news is the Affordable Care Act website – www.healthcare.gov – seems to be able to handle many users at one time.
After two months of website crashes, the White House now says healthcare.gov is able to handle as many as 50,000 users at one time. How they use it to explore health insurance options has been refined, too.
Now for the bad news: As many as one-fourth of the people who thought they had obtained health insurance through healthcare.gov may be "or-phans," federal officials confirmed last week. That is the term officials have coined to describe people who enrolled for insurance through the website but are not covered because the government never sent their information to insurance companies.
Even now, with the website supposedly repaired, as many as one in 10 people who enroll may be victimized by the same problem.
The government would shut down a private insurance company operating in a similar way. Such a company's executives might even be prosecuted for fraud.
But President Barack Obama's administration can get away with this because he says so.
The act is doing some good things, too. As per its stated goals, it is providing coverage for the uninsured, including those whose pre-existing conditions had caused insurance companies to snub them – although many of those have been unable to register successfully. The act has also weeded out weaker plans, although this had the unintended consequence of causing people to lose plans they had thought were secure.
By now, most people who get health insurance through their employers should have received their rates for next year. Some, like us, are finding that their rate increase is the lowest it's been in a long time and that their plan is better: more coverage with lower co-pays. Is this due in part to the ACA?
Other people probably aren't finding that, but from here we sit, it seems like an improvement. Over the last decade or so, every December one could count on learning that one's health insurance plan was about to get weaker and/or way more expensive.
It's hard to tell whether this is due to the ACA, though.
There is also serious reason to doubt that enough people will sign up for the ACA to give it the resources it needs. If most Americans get fed up with it and don't participate, the government, if it follows the new law, would have to fine them all. This would clearly not be a healthy outcome, especially since the people could probably make a reasonable claim that they weren't given a workable system to sign up for.
Despite its good sides and despite the treatment to its website, the Affordable Care Act still seems to be gravely ill.

Spirited debate on proposal to raise speed limit on Pa. highways
HARRISBURG, Pa. - Pennsylvania could become the 35th state to up the legal speed limit to 70 mph.
A leading state senator announced he plans to introduce legislation to raise the speed limit on interstates and the Pennsylvania turnpike.
Raising the speed limit here in the Commonwealth is not a new idea.
A bill seeking to do just that got through a state House committee last year. But this time, it's the state's top member of Senate, Joe Scarnati, who's proposing the plan.
It's an idea that's got engines revving on both sides. Should drivers on Pennsylvania interstates be legally allowed to go 70 mph?
"I think that would be stupid," Brandon Harris said.
"In the right areas I think it's appropriate," Matthew Novacich said.
That's the side Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati is on.
He recently announced plans to introduce legislation increasing Pennsylvania's maximum allowable speed limit from 65 to 70 mph.
Scarnati said the higher speed would make traffic move better and make the delivery of goods more efficient.
But some local drivers said they're not convinced raising the speed limit 5 miles per hour would make a big difference.
"I think they're pretty much doing those speed limits now," Matthew Novacich said. "So I don't think it will make much of a difference to them."
Since the federal government repealed the nationwide 55 mph speed limit in 1995, 34 states have set speed limits of at least 70 mph, with 16 states capping speeds at 75 mph.
"I think by upping the speed limit you're really just upping the flow of traffic," said Tracey Novacich.
Other motorists think people might abuse a higher limit.
"There's enough people dying from car accidents every year," said Brandon Harris. "I don't think they should do it."
Critics say research is clear that driving faster leads to more crashes.
Folks against the idea also wonder how our government could fund replacing hundreds of speed limit signs across the state.
"It's going to cost a lot of money to do that," Tracey Novacich said. "I know that for a fact."
Under the proposal, speeds would not be increased without justification by highway department studies.

While it's easy to fall in love with an animal, pet health experts are urging all pet owners to take their animals' health into account, especially during National Pet Wellness Month, which takes place each October. The special designation is made to remind people that preventive care is the best way to help their animals to live longer, healthier lives.
"Yearly visits to your veterinarian are an essential part of keeping your pet healthy," said Dr. Barry Kellogg, senior veterinary advisor for the Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association. "Preventative care allows for early detection of problems and often saves money on overall veterinary costs by treating problems before they become serious."
The American Animal Hospital Association and the American Veterinary Medical Association recommend that cats and dogs should have an annual check-up with a vet. However, it's important to note that kittens and puppies as well as senior pets will likely need more frequent veterinary visits. In addition, more frequent appointments with a pet health expert are advised based on illnesses, behavior changes and other factors. Talk to your veterinarian about how often you should bring your cat or dog in for an exam.
A yearly trip to the vet will ensure your pet's vaccinations are up-to-date and help detect any problems, illnesses or diseases. Additionally, as your pet ages, your vet will help you determine the best course of action regarding his daily care and routine.
Managing your pet's weight in between visits to the vet is another crucial part of keeping him healthy. According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 53 percent of adult dogs and 55 percent of cats were classified as overweight or obese by their veterinarians.
Obesity in dogs and obesity in cats is a serious issue that can affect the long term health of your pet. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, an obese pet is at an increased risk for a variety of chronic diseases including diabetes, heart disease, osteoarthritis and certain forms of cancer.
One of the best ways to help maintain your pet's weight is to feed him a balanced, nutritious diet. Commercial dog and cat foods make it easy for your pet to get all of the vitamins and minerals they need to stay healthy. It's important to remember that while some pet owners like feeding their pets human foods, some table food can be dangerous if ingested by animals.
Another important part of preventative care for your pet involves his teeth. Your vet will evaluate his dental health during routine visits. However, it's also important for pet owners to monitor changes in their dog's or cat's teeth, gums or breath. Keeping your pet's teeth clean by feeding him special treats or by brushing them is also recommended.
National Pet Wellness Month isn't the only special designation this month. October is also National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to the Star Exponent, both dogs and cats can get breast cancer, although canines are particularly prone to the disease. One of the best ways to help cut down on the risk of your pet developing breast cancer is to have him or her neutered or spayed.
Neutering or spaying a cat or dog also provides additional benefits such as reducing the risk of uterine infections, improving behavior and preventing pet overpopulation.

Astrology is a science that has existed for 4000 years, also known as the 'queen of science', astrology can make future predictions and make character analysis' using a person's horoscope. The ancient Greeks learnt from the Babylonians and the Egyptians the meaning of the position and movements of the planets, otherwise known as astronomy, and it's thanks to the Arabs that astrology church found its way back to Europe after it was banned by the church.more
Astrologers believe that the position of the planets, the moon and the sun at the time of a person's birth has an influence on the formation of their character. Mathematical calculations make astrology the most scientific of all esoteric arts and independent studies have several times successfully proven a connection between the horoscope and the behaviour, or rather the self-evaluation of the people concerned.
Astrology uses the correlation between the time and place of birth to determine a person's character and fate. Astrologers believe that the position of the planets, moon and sun at the time of a person's birth determine, or at least influence, aspects of their character. It is evident that astronomical events have always held a fascination for many cultures around the world. Interpreting a horoscope is both a science and an art.
In drawing up a character analysis, the astrologer first looks at the sun signs, moon signs and ascendant, then turns to the elements (fire, water, earth, air) and qualities (cardinal, fixed, mutable). A serious astrologer will never make you promises.
An astrologer only ever indicates where the tendencies of your character lie and the so-called time quality. This means that an astrologer tells you which outside influences are affecting you. How you decide to use this information in your life is entirely up to you.
There are almost no questions that cannot be explained astrologically. Through the unique connection between the current star constellation and our own dispositions that have been with us since the time of our births, endless possibilities of horoscopes are yielded. Astrologically seen questions about the past are just as well explained as predictions concerning the future.
Due to the way a planet has orbited the sun in the past and faraway future, astrologers can calculate the horoscope for a particular point in time. They can of course also work as love calculators and calculate love horoscopes that highlight the special qualities of a relationship.
Remember that every astrologer has their own special area. Take your time to find the perfect astrologer for you at TheCircle. Use the experience of a reputable astrologer for a detailed and comprehensive analysis of your personality, the compatibility of you and your partner in an astrological love reading with a love calculator, or the possible outcome of a project or connection in an astrological prediction!

Dealing with Micromanagement
By Kevin Kline
Imagine you're working on a new project. It's an important project, and its
success will be a big win for the organization. You were chosen for the job
because of your competency, skill, and effectiveness. You get things like this
done all the time and have a track record for pulling it off. Now that the
project is underway, you're finding that trust and support you need from
management is absent. Instead, you've got a micromanaging boss, who's put so
many additional requirements on you for reporting, meetings, and whatever their
favorite nit-picking happens to be that management is actually an impediment to
successfully completing the project!
The bad news is that this happens to all of us at some time or another. In fact,
it's so common that exit interviews show that nearly one in three professionals
has changed jobs to escape micromanaging or unreasonable bosses.

About the Author: Peter Villano is a Program Manager in the Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement in the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs.
In a small village in Afghanistan's Kunar Province, a young Afghan man works to remove landmines in his village. Several weeks ago, he was unemployed and worried about supporting his family. He would travel long distances looking for work. Now, he is employed locally as a deminer by an Afghan non-governmental organization (NGO), and returns home every afternoon to see his wife and children.
The Kunar project is a community-based initiative, which centers on the removal of landmines and other unexploded bombs that threaten the local population. In Afghanistan and in other post-conflict countries around the world, mines and other unexploded munitions ─ what we call "explosive remnants of war" (ERW) ─ have denied locals access to arable land, and limited their ability to gather firewood to cook, stones to build their houses, and, ultimately, the prospect of rebuilding their communities. In 2008, mines and ERW killed or injured over 445 Afghans, an average of 37 per month.
This project is managed by a small core staff from the Organization for Mine Action and Afghan Rehabilitation (OMAR), based in Kabul. The United States Department of State has partnered with OMAR in this community-based demining initiative. Unlike most mine action projects in Afghanistan where trained deminers come from elsewhere to remove landmines and unexploded ordnance, community-based demining utilizes a local workforce that is recruited, trained, and employed by an Afghan NGO that oversees all aspects of the operation. In Afghanistan, which has suffered decades of conflict, these projects can last for several months, providing income and economic opportunity to hundreds of families.
Community-based demining in Kunar furnishes jobs that keep young men employed, and perhaps most importantly, establishes trust with local leaders by removing one of the one of largest hidden killers in Afghanistan: ERW. What's more, the project is not just outsiders coming in to conduct mine clearance; it is owned by the population, thereby reinforcing local governance and reducing insurgent influence.
When this community-based demining project ends, follow-on agricultural and vocational training as well as immediate development projects can commence, allowing locals to capitalize on their cleared land and an available labor force with new job skills. Since these demining projects are planned, coordinated, and run in conjunction with local tribal leadership from the beginning, community priorities are taken into account even before a project is initiated.
Since 1993, the United States has been the world's leading contributor to post-conflict efforts to remove landmines and ERW around the globe. In 2009, the Department of State will provide over $22 million to Afghanistan alone, enabling the Afghan government and a constellation of local and international NGOs to continue the essential tasks of clearing mines and ERW, caring for survivors of ERW accidents, and destroying or securing recovered munitions to prevent their use by insurgents in future attacks.
Community-based demining represents an opportunity to effectively link Afghan and U.S. humanitarian, development, and counterinsurgency objectives like never before. It offers an Afghan-led solution they stand ready to implement.

NGO's Dig up Mines: Insult Added to Injury.....
USG should lead the world in getting out of the war-weapons business....then, we won't need to fund NGO's in unexploded ordnance jobs...or fund NGO's to get rid of them....if you want to invest in business in Afghanistan and deal a blow to AQ....finance the mining and agri-businesses.
Ron in New York writes:
A Bad idea.....There are so many other jobs for Afghans to do.....One de-mining mishap will outweigh any possible benefit.
Mining or agriculture or schools or hospitals or roads or clean water projects.....
Get out of the war business....
Anna in Washington DC writes:
@ Ron in NY -- Yes, agriculture or mining, schools or hospitals, roads or clean water projects, all would be preferable to demining. But the fact of the matter is that there are landmines and they must be removed, or whole areas of land will not be usable or safe.
I wish there were not landmines in Afghanistan, or anywhere. But we must be practical.
I applaud the brave men who are removing the landmines in Afghanistan, because it is a vote of confidence in the future of their country.
Ron in New York writes:
Security First...then Development...
Paying Afghanis to demine?: Dead Wrong....
Wait for the Headline on this mistake.....
Injury added to Insult...
Radosav writes:
Interesting concept.
In mine clearance generally the most important issue is confidence to deminer's work. By employing local people that is achieved.
Jim writes:
excellent work being done
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Ron in New York,
Maybe you should put yourself in the Afghan fellow's shoes, besides earning a paycheck to feed his family, he's making sure his kids don't step on a landmine.
I think it's fair to say it's probably a "dad thing" when all is taken in context.
Why else would someone take the job, eh?
Ron in New York writes:
Bad Policy; Bad Program: Afghanis should not be mine-fodder.
If you really wnat to empathize...don't put "Afghani shoes" near unexploded ordnance...I really think there is a romantic and fantastic approach to development and counter-insurgency.
Farid in Afghanistan writes:
We also implement community-based demining projects in our NGO. It is more effective, safer and sustainable approach. It promotes security in remote districts and creates job opportunities for the mine impacted communities.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@Farid in Afghanistan,
Friend of mine from your country told me once that he thought there were over 10 million landmines left over from the time of the Soviet invasion and civil war after.
He also told me that folks would throw rocks in fields to find them.
Which gave me an idea that I put to a former c-130 pilot I met on the feasability of loading up an aircraft with rocks and chunks of metal ( as some tank mines are magneticly triggered) and spread-dumping the load out the back of the plane from low altitude (1000-1500 ft) over a known minefield to clear it of the majority of mines.
Then followed up by regular methods, it may help speed up the removal process in a safe manner.
Pilot said it was possible to do it with such an aircraft, but had no idea whether it would be effective ( never having been tried ).
Do you think the idea is worth a test run?
Ron in New York writes:
What's Mine is Mine, What's yours is Mine Removal....?
Demining should be done by experts...it should be funded by the nations who built and placed the mines....no Afghan should risk life removing ordnance meant to kill him.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@Ron in New York--
In a perfect world Ron, there would be no landmines to dispose of.
But we don't live in a perfect world, now do we?
I don't think you get it, the Afghan people are as knowledgable about landmines as any expert, having had to deal with them for decades.
You seem to think , judging by what you wrote, that they are simply given the equipment and sent out to get blown up.
Again, put yourself in their shoes. If it was your community, your kids, and a paycheck on the line, what would you do?
I'm pretty sure you'd say, "It's not my problem." until you realized it was.
But that's you, not the Afghan people.
Most of the people who placed them in the ground are dead. No one knows who's country manufactured them until they are individually found and destroyed, but its also true that the funding for removal comes from nations who have taken responsibility for removing them, whether they had a role in them being placed there or not.
Reality being what it is Ron, the Afghans are more concerned with getting rid of them than how they got there at this point in time.
So who are you to preach that they shouldn't get involved in safeguarding their children and creating safer living conditions for their communites, eh?
You don't have that right to determine what's best for them.
(End of lecture.)
Ron in New York writes:
Reality Bites: (or in the case of Mine Removal; it blows)
Contracting with NGO's to employ Afghans to remove mines is totally irresponsible (and quite wacky from a PR stance).
Where do we get off paying them for this task? Sure they will go for the money.....what are the employment alternatives in Afghanistan right now? talk about "let's get real"...USG has spent billions to have Afghanis conduct surrogate wars...now we will spend more to put them at risk of blowing themselves up.....Sorry, no sale.
Ron in New York writes:
The Real World of WMD....
Mines and Unexploded Ordnance should be tagged, identified, traced and tracked back to manufacturers,sellers/buyers...they should be named, shamed and made to clean up their mess. Afterward, they should pay penalties, and monetary damages. Later, they should pay for development projects....In the real world; nothing changes without consequences....The way it works now, you can spend billions on WMD and a few million to do the clean-up.
Ron in New York writes:
Definitions: "Community-based Demining"....
1- Demining in the community where the mines are.
2- Creating the impression that Demining is a community activity.
3- Absolving USG of mine removal responsibilities.
4- Creating a cottage industry in demining.
