Where I stayed
Tica Linda
After a decent sleep, we walked around and had a look around the city.....and as luck would have it, they had a big festival on that night - the festival of the light! Its pretty much just a parade, with ppl parading on various costumes in various floats...and a shitload of ppl standing by the road and watching of course! And of course fireworks too......
Once the official festivities were over, we headed off to this nightclub district - rather than having clubs spread out all over the place, they had a whole stack of clubs in the one complex....kind of like an open aired shopping mall full of nightclubs (that werent open air unfortunately)
I then spent the next week doing.....absolutely nothing!! Sam left on monday, but I decided to wait for my new bankcard to arrive at the post office. Sadly, I was still waiting on thursday and gave up....only to find all the busses leaving San Jose were full!! So I basically spent my time on the internet, reading, cooking or making sandwiches (I didnt have a great deal of money), studying a bit, and hangin out with the crew in the backpackers (2 Dutch guys, and quite a few Spanish speakers) - as Spanish was the language of choice though, I at least got some good language practice in.....and saved a lot of money.
Luckily, I managed to get the 2nd last seat on an overpriced bus heading to El Salvador on Christmas eve, ending the most boring period of my holiday so far.
Some personal observations on San Jose:
First up, is the food......KFC styled fried chicken seems to be the national dish! Its absolutely everywhere!! Whilst I NEVER eat fried chicken in Oz, I decided to do as the Romans (or Costa Ricans in this case) do, and eat it quite regularly. Its v cheap, at about $1.40 a �portion� (1 portion being 2 pieces for some reason).
Next is the confetti - All thoughout the leadup to New Years and Christmas, people are selling Confetti on the streets, whilst others throw it everywhere. In particular, at people like me. It seems its quite acceptable to throw confetti all over complete strangers, even if it goes inside their cans of beer and forces them to throw it out, despite being almost completely full (ie me of course)
And San Jose on the whole? IMHO, Its not a particularly great place to hang out. A few days are fine, and of course there are some good bars (mainly in the university district of San Pedro) and clubs around. And whilst the city feels reasonably safe during the daytime, there are plenty of crackheads and dodgy people around certain areas...especially at night, and especially just west of my backpackers near the �Coca Cola� building. Its hard to know how I feel about these people - I know theyd steal of me in an instant if given the chance, and I even had one of em attempt to attack me and a Spanish dude I was with.....but some of them are just so messed up, its really quite sad. You know someones hit rock bottom (no pun intended) when they spend half their life inspecting gravel on the ground in the hope that some of its a piece of crack. And dealing with the dude who attacked us was kind of like trying to swat a fly away - he was annoying, but didnt really pose any real threat as he could barely stand let alone fight properly. Luckily these people are so desperate for money they never have guns....if they did, they would no doubt pawn them. On another occasion though, I found it quite freaky seeing a guy in some sort of futuristic cowboy outfit with a pistol by his side knock back about 5 shots in an hour at one of the local bars (another reason I didnt really go out after the first weekend). Im damn glad guns arent as accepted in Australia as they are in latin America!
One little tip I learned from Sam is to carry a pack of cigarettes: When people ask (or beg) for a bit of money, just tell em �no, I dont have any...would u like a cigarette?�. That seems to keep em happy for the next 2 minutes, and of course u will be long gone by then.

WRAPUP 2-Syria hit with Turkey sanctions, army losses mount
* Largest trade partner Turkey halts credit, freezes assets
* Regional transport hub UAE to suspend flights
* UN rights forum to hold emergency session on Friday
* Turkey talks of "buffer zone" if refugees head for border
* 14 members of security forces buried (Updates throughout after Turkish sanctions imposed)
By Douglas Hamilton and Tulay Karadeniz
BEIRUT/ANKARA, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Syria's biggest trade partner Turkey suspended all financial credit dealings with it on Wednesday and froze its government's assets, joining the Arab League in isolating President Bashar al-Assad over his military crackdown on opponents.
The government of regional transport hub Dubai said airlines based in the United Arab Emirates would stop flying to Syria, part of a decisive break with Assad's government among countries in the Middle East after eight months of violence.
Syria held military funerals for 14 members of the army and security forces, marking the rising cost of its battle to smother a revolution inspired by uprisings across the Arab world that toppled the leaders of Tunisia, Egypt and Libya this year. Continued...

Bob Costas is a huge idiot.
He thinks we shouldn't be allowed to protect ourselves because we "may get in a fight due to someone stepping on someone's foot when in line" and that breaking out in a firefight. What a moron.
"Far more often bad things happen" than someone using a gun appropriately, is what he says. He's misinformed.
He speaketh of which he knoweth not.
Unfortunatley, Bill is only a little less of an idiot. He let Costas get off with most of this.

I live in Georgetown Id and am planning a salmon/steelhead fishing trip to western Oregon.
What is required for me to transport my fish home (if successful)?
Bob B
Fish that have been harvested in Oregon can be transported to Idaho. If stopped by a law enforcement officer, you need to possess a valid Oregon fishing license or a proxy statement from the individual harvesting the fish allowing you to possess the fish.
No transport of live fish can occur without a valid Live Fish Transport Permit issued by the Idaho Dept. of Fish and Game and signed by the Director. These can be found on-line in the Fisheries section.

"This is the WORST $65 I have EVER spent! The scope mount was bent, the reticle is impossible to see outside (even with new batteries), and it doesn't even come with papers to tell you how to work it or adjust it or anything. DO NOT buy this junk!

I've been away from my beloved TV for a week attending a wedding in Australia. Typically for the first few days I vow never to return to the wretched goggle-box which has enslaved us and putrefied our brains.
But after four days of socialising and chin-wagging, a night in front of the TV numbing the brain is pure luxury. A night in front of TV in Australia is very much like a night here, only slightly worse and, at the same time, way better. The better part is the choice of ABC and SBS, and, way more local comedy and drama.
It was a reminder that part of what sets us on a rung lower than Australia, is the lack of an ad-free public broadcaster. Unsurprisingly, Melbourne also kicks our arse in the field of Souvlaki.
On the night in question, Sunday last, the ABC was showing the sumptuous Rise of Animals: Triumph of the Vertebrates a 2013 doco from David Attenborough that has been purchased by TVNZ.
It's a beautiful thing and will make good use of your widescreen. But as if to prove the b******* right, the group I was with where more interested in The Block - Fans and Favs on Nine - a network so chock full of adverts that even the ad-laden, product placement jamboree that is The Block was overlaid with a big fat ad for Fat Tony & Co that was "coming up at 8.40pm".
This wasn't of the sort that we're used to, that 'pop up' for seconds at a time. This was on screen for the entire show. Still, I was excited by the prospect of another Underbelly-style show, although due to legal and funding reasons, the Underbelly brand name has been removed for this iteration. In all other respects it squawks and quacks like the original duck.
Fat Tony & Co runs in a sort of parallel with the original - and best - Underbelly series and focuses on Melbourne crime boss Tony Mokbel, who is more portly than obese but as criminal as all get out.
The Underbelly brand is tacky, sexist and cheesy beyond belief. In other words it's great blue-collar fun. A common reaction is: "I like it only because it's so funny".
There will be hammy performances, silicon enhanced boobs and a ridiculous amount of slow motion. Do they heighten the drama? Add gravity to the gravitas? No, they just make you laugh as you witness the attempt to be Scorsese falling so wide of the mark it's as if aliens who have seen Leonardo's sketches are trying to circumnavigate the world in a helicopter made of cheddar. Still the things that work keep you hanging on to the end, although this is one of those shows where each ad break is a tempting out-clause.
Among the most captivating aspects of the thing are the appalling performance of Vince Colosimo as Alphonse John Gangitano - the "Black Prince of Lygon Street"- and the brilliant presence of Gyton Grantley as Carl Williams. The latter inhabits the role with the charm of the greats. He's a bogan James Gandolfini, with a gift for comedic timing and just bloody sheer presence. Sadly the brilliant Kat Stewart who played his wife the first time around is not back for the encore.
As for Colosimo, if he's going for comedy he's on the money. It's a masterclass of overacting that would be seen as too much by the makers of advertisements for Big Save Furniture. What there is nearly nothing of in these programmes is grit. There is no grime to go with the crime, with each scene looking exactly the opposite of True Detective.
Still, the thing that makes us watch is that this is 'true detective'. It's a true story. Thought of as a Police 10/7 reenactment with a bigger budget, it makes much more sense. Scumbags, lowlifes, maggots, Fat Tony & Co has them by the bucket full.
The tragic news about the death of Charlotte Dawson was everywhere in Australia and featured at the end of a particularly mawkish edition of 60 Minutes (the Aussie version is way more tabloid than ours - a sob story here, a shark attack there. The New Zealand version is also blessed with solid journalists like Karen McCarthy and recent addition Wayne Hay).
You may recall that they had Dawson on their show within hours of a previous suicide attempt. 60 Minutes afforded a brief but respectful recognition of her death and you could sense they were choosing their words carefully. Hanging in the air was their own dubious dealings with Dawson, and her ex Scott Miller who also recently featured on the show.
Then the host said, "she will be most missed by the marginalised". Then, as always, the clock ticked on.

- Quicksilver Recycling Services and local television station WTOG/CW44 have teamed up for an electronics recycling collection event celebrating Earth Day 2016. Residents and businesses may bring their electronics for recycling and on-site hard drive destruction to the WTOG/CW44 station on Thursday April 21st. The event will begin at 10:00 AM and end at 4:00 PM.
- 31 July, 2013In an article published July 28th 2013 by Tom Jackson a Tribune Staff writer, Tom explains his own personal experience in dealing with the recycling of his computer monitor via Pasco County and their contractor Quicksilver Recycling Services. My introduction to Pasco County's e-waste recycling program began quite out of the blue, the Dell computer monitor at my Wesley Chapel office refused to work one day. My IT guys suggested that I recycle it and that's how I wound up driving last week to Pasco's electronics recycling outpost located on the northwest corner of the county's vast solid waste complex. There you will find Mickey McGee, from Plant City via Zephyrhills, who ushers obsolete electronics from resident's vehicles and prepares them for transport to Quicksilver's Tampa facility for processing. McGee's on-site supervisor is Charley Ryburn, who oversees Pasco's hazardous waste disposal, a responsibility that falls under the jurisdiction of the utilities department. This day both are in the company of Jim Lawler, vice president of Tampa-based Quicksilver Recycling Services, which handles the vast bulk of gadgetry flowing through Pasco's e-waste program. In 2011-2012, this amounted to nearly 700 tons of TVs, computers (both laptops and desktops), cellphones, gaming consoles, monitors and who knows what else. Earlier, someone had dropped off avionic instruments from some unknown airplane. Most of it is inoperable, but some of it has simply been deposed by something newer. "Our biggest month," Ryburn says, "is January. People bring in the old TV and the box the new one came in." Mostly, however, stuff arrives that has been relegated, perhaps for years, to a closet or a garage corner, succumbing only to redecorating or relocation. Folks in the solid waste business call this clinging "attic mentality," the practice of hanging on to utterly obsolete or otherwise useless things for reasons hard to explain. Ryburn likes the program because it keeps heavy metals from going up the incinerator chimney or leaching into the ground water. Lawler likes the program because recovering those same materials, though labor intensive, is still cheaper than mining and it prevents pollution. McGee likes it because you never know what you're going to see next. I like it because they promised to be gentle with my sleepy old Dell monitor.
- 31 July, 2013Gina McCarthy has been confirmed by a 59-40 Senate vote to serve as the next head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency according to Resource Recycling July 19th 2013. The confirmation followed more than four months of grueling debate between Democrats and Republicans over issues of transparency and data collection at EPA. A Boston native, McCarthy is known for her common-sense, science-driven approach and a rare ability to work with environmental groups and industry leaders. She served under both Democratic and Republican leadership and is said to be a friend of the electronics recycling industry. One of McCarthy's most important achievements came in 2007, when she led a successful legislative push to pass an e-scrap producer responsibility law in Connecticut that called on manufacturers to handle the collection and safe management of their end-of-life products. My own commentary on this appointment is that presently there is no federal legislation regarding electronics recycling, rather it is a patchwork of individual state legislation, each uniquely different, that exists amongst only twenty-six states, Florida not being one of them. Perhaps under McCarthy's leadership she will bring electronics recycling experience that may lead to federal legislation so that we all (states) are on the same page when it comes to dealing with responsible electronics recycling
- 14 June, 2013Quicksilver Recycling Services was founded in June of 1998, now celebrating our 15th anniversary. Throughout these fifteen years, Quicksilver has specialized in customizing recycling and reuse programs associated with electronics / IT equipment. Quicksilver Recycling Services is dedicated to the protection of the environment by offering our clients an environmentally sound, secure and economically viable program for retired (obsolete or reusable) electronics / IT equipment.

- 14 June, 2013Nearly 959 million smartphones will be shipped in 2013, according to the latest estimates from International Data Corp., reports Resource Recycling Magazine – E-Scrap News June 6th. The 33 percent year-over-year increase in global shipments also represents the first time that smartphone shipments will eclipse conventional cell phones, according to IDC. Much of this growth is expected to come from emerging markets, which will account for 65 percent of all shipments this year, compared to just 43 percent of global smartphone shipments in 2010. The continued drop in the price of new units could potentially affect sales of refurbished phones, which are often resold in emerging markets or on budget carriers in developed markets. For those retired mobile devices, including phones, smartphones and tablets, Quicksilver Recycling Services provides our clients the assurance their mobile devices will be managed in an environmentally sound, secure and economically viable way whether recycling obsolete devices or refurbishing them for reuse purposes.
- 21 May, 2013As a follow-up, according to Resource Recycling Magazine May 2013 President Obama's pick for the new director of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is one step closer to starting work as Gina McCarthy's nomination moves to the Senate floor on a party-line vote. The contentious nomination of McCarthy, that was blocked last week by Senate Republicans, was approved by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee by a 10-8 vote, strictly along partisan lines. The nomination now heads to the floor of the Senate, where approval is not assured, with Senate Republicans threatening to filibuster unless given more information about how McCarthy would run the agency.
- Quicksilver Recycling Services is now offering our clients an environmentally friendly on-site (your location) hard drive destruction option that is conformable with DoD 5220.22-M and NIST 800-88 Standards. Utilizing Quicksilver Recycling Services as your trusted partner to manage data security through process-controlled data destruction provides you with peace of mind that your organization is operating within regulatory compliance and that corporate privacy and reputation will remain intact. When scheduling your next electronics recycling pickup simply indicate that you would like for Quicksilver to destroy your hard drives on-site at your location and a specialty team along with our truck mounted hard drive destruction equipment will be deployed.
- 15 May, 2013As a follow-up, according to Resource Recycling Magazine May 2013 Eight Republican U.S. senators from that body's Environment Committee have refused to vote on whether Gina McCarthy can fill the vacated directorship of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Saying that they had not received enough responses to reportedly more than 1,000 written questions, all of the Republican senators on the Environment Committee boycotted a vote that would have allowed her nomination to move on to the floor of the Senate. Even if the vote had been allowed to occur, McCarthy — who has been described as a "friend to recycling" — faced a filibuster from Senate Republicans. Even though, according to the Obama administration, McCarthy answered all of the 1,079 questions — a record number — the eight senators were "completely unsatisfied" by many of the answers and refused to let the committee vote on her nomination.
- According to an article in E-Scrap News March 2013, President Obama has nominated Gina McCarthy to head the Environmental Protection Agency. McCarthy is currently an assistant administrator at the EPA. She is best known for her work on air quality and has occupied several state-level positions where she sought to increase recycling rates and helped launch a new electronics recycling program. McCarthy has served under both Democrats and Republicans and is said to be a friend of the electronics recycling industry. This administration has taken an interest in electronics recycling, launching efforts to provide better stewardship of the large volume of electronics that are discarded every year. My own commentary on this appointment is that presently there is no federal legislation regarding electronics recycling, rather it is a patchwork of individual state legislation, each uniquely different, that exists amongst only twenty-six states, Florida not being one of them. Perhaps under McCarthy's leadership she will bring electronics recycling experience that may lead to federal legislation so that we all (states) are on the same page when it comes to dealing with responsible electronics recycling.
- We are very excited to launch our new interactive website which accurately reflects our image and will be a useful tool for our clients and prospective clients. Some of the site's features include the ability to ask a question, request a pickup or get a free quote. We will also be posting on our Blog relevant Quicksilver and industry news.

Here's the dirty little secret behind broadcasters' campaign to change the way ads are sold — to include people who watch them up to seven days after they air (called C7), up from three (C3): It wouldn't increase advertiser spending on TV. It would just change the proportion of sales that go to broadcast vs cable. That's the main reason why Bernstein Research's Todd Juenger says this morning that a new arrangement "would be largely a wash" for Big Media companies that have broadcast and cable networks. The exception is CBS, which collects relatively little from cable ads. "Broadcast programming, especially primetime, is timeshifted more than cable network programming," he says. TiVo data show that broadcast network commercial ratings would rise 6% in DVR homes while cable would be +4% if the sales period is expanded to seven days. (That includes ad zapping: Overall program ratings would rise 11% for broadcast and 8% for cable.) Since about half of all households have a DVR, that might translate into an overall increase in counted ad viewing of 3% for broadcasters and 2% for cable. If you assume that advertisers wouldn't increase their TV budgets, then a change that largely affects DVR homes would move about 0.5% of the $40B in national TV ad spending to broadcast from cable — about $115M. That's "worth fighting for," Juenger says. But not so much for companies that sell lots of ads on cable networks. No wonder "we will once again see CBS leading the charge in this fight on behalf of the broadcast networks."
CBS Would Be The Only Winner If TV Ad Ratings Include 7-Day Viewing: Analyst

BS. Remove sports and ABC is lead in L7. CBS is having a pretty bad fall with no real new hits, yes even Elementary.
Why remove sports? Don't they show ads on sports shows?
Deadline did a story where an ad honcho responded exactly as I thought the industry would respond – sure, we'll count C7 at an appropriate discount to take into consideration the fact that many ads are designed to be seen sooner than that, and may expire by the time they're counted,
Ad budgets are all going towards online/mobile media. No worries about ad timing. You need X people to see Y ad at exactly Z time? You'll get precisely what you pay for, and with much firmer proof than the wonky Nielsens. And when TV all moves to streaming, this situation will be resolved, although content makers will face a different problem, that advertisers will finally have proof that they haven't been getting their money's worth, and since people can evade ads even more efficiently online, the downward pressure on ad rates will intensify.
i predict that the only ad-supported "TV" will be cheap reality shows etc, while anything quality will require direct payment by viewers.
cable isn't time-shifted as the same episode is played more than once durring the week.
I just relaized I missed last nights TNT shows,darn! :)
I guess Todd missed Ted Harbert's speech at NBC's upfront last May–before anyone else was publicly calling for this. Last time I checked, he's got some cable assets to run.
And yes, many ads are time sensitive. But plenty are not–there are tons of image spots on the air for soft drinks, autos, beer, fast food restaurants, etc. None of those are time sensitive and could certainly be measured using C7.
DVR ratings aren't what matters, it's STREAMING that counts. The only people who watch TV live or on DVR are my parents, and everyone else I know watches their shows every single week through hulu or other sites.

text: It's a sick feeling watching something wonderful come to an end. Even worse when it comes earlier than expected. The Pistons have just finished dropping two close games against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Three more points in either game would have us all singing a different tune. Six total points altering phrases like"Fire Flip!""Can we get Kevin Garnett?""Don't re-sign Ben!"into"Detroit Basketball!""Championship caliber clutch play!""Why we played for home court advantage"This is what the playoffs are all about. When mistakes are magnified. Where one missed free throw, one turnover, one timeout can swing momentum, gain or lose a game. That momentum is a funny thing. It builds. It takes on a life of it's own. The Cavaliers have that right now. The fragile momentum that wins games, exceeding even the hype and expectations for LeBron James. Watching the Pistons play the last 3-1/2 games has been a lesson that no matter how high we get with chants of MVP MVP MVP, or how special it is to have four All-Stars, nothing tastes so sweet or bitter as playoff performances. The emotional highs and lows of every free throw, each turnover with relief coming during timeouts and commercial breaks. You see, "Play the Right Way" is really coach-speak for "Approach everything the way you live your life. With dignity, fellowship and enthusiasm.". It's not just a catchphrase, it's who we aspire to be. We thrived as fans and a franchise by being the underdogs. It reflects the blue collar, hardened northener mentality of the Detroit area. We aren't favored, but we won't give up without a fight. We aren't the best and brightest, but we'll take on any job and do it well. We do it because it must be done. We live here because it's one of the oldest settled areas in North America and no amount of sunshine can tear up our roots. Even international fans are thrilled and intrigued by the romanticism of Detroit and it's athletes. And that is what makes the recent 3 losses to the Cavaliers all that much more distressing. These players are not the ones we fell in love with. They have a false bravado that reeks of passionless individualism and self promotion. Deep down, I'm disheartened by this group. They could still pull this out and maybe even contend for a championship this season, but as my friend LanierFan wrote earlier today, "...just wondering where that Detroit team I used to like so much has gone off to. Because I don't like these guys very much, even when they win." I want the no name players that we became enamored with. The ones who drank Gatorade from a Thermos and shocked the world. The fellas who toiled in the obscurity of the practice facility. Where are the Goin' To Work Pistons? We are all looking for you. The largest missing persons hunt in the history of sports fandom. Do you remember who you are? Let's pray the amnesia is not permanent.

On July 17, 1998, delegates attending a conference in Rome voted to establish the International Criminal Court, to act when the most serious forms of international crimes were committed. The Rome Statute confirmed the international community's aim of "putting an end to impunity".
The ICC began work in July 2002. There are 111 state parties to the Rome Statute. They include Australia, which remains a strong supporter of universal justice and the work of the court.
The ICC has become increasingly active and is dealing with situations in Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, Kenya and the Central African Republic, with others also under investigation. The court is an integral part of the international judicial landscape and has even featured in popular Hollywood movies.
At a recent review conference in Uganda, about 4600 representatives from states, intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations strongly endorsed the court's work and agreed on a definition of the crime of aggression, to add to crimes that fall within the ICC's jurisdiction (genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes).
While these are still relatively early days and there are undoubtedly challenges ahead, these developments represent positive illustrations of what has been described as the "internationalisation of justice".
Indeed, as an indication of the court's reach, it has issued an arrest warrant against Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity (and possibly genocide) committed in Darfur. This marks the first time that an incumbent political leader has been indicted by this court.
The denial of immunity to heads of states is, however, part of a more general trend that would have been unthinkable 10 years ago. We have, for instance, seen former leaders such as Serbia's Slobodan Milosevic, Chile's Augusto Pinochet, Rwanda's Jean Kambanda, Liberia's Charles Taylor, Peru's Alberto Fujimori, Iraq's Saddam Hussein and Chad's Hissene Habre all face legal processes relating to their alleged crimes.
In 2007, The Economist quoted Libya's leader, Muammar Gaddafi, as lamenting that "this means that every head of state could meet a similar fate. It sets a serious precedent." This is a direct consequence of the evolution of international criminal justice. Criminologists now talk about a "Pinochet syndrome" — where senior political and military leaders can no longer ignore the rule of law and the reach of the various systems of national and international criminal justice.
Yet, despite these positive developments, the inescapable spectre of realpolitik still hinders the progression of justice. Powers such as the US, Russia and China are not parties to the Rome Statute, although the Obama administration has become increasingly supportive of its activities. To assuage the concerns of larger countries, the crime of aggression will only become operable from 2017.
Several countries have called for the ICC to drop its case against Joseph Kony, the feared leader of the Lords Resistance Army in Uganda, as a condition of a peace agreement being negotiated there. Shortly after the indictment was issued against President Bashir, the African Union (with President Gaddafi as its chairman) called for an African boycott of the court.
If the politicians win the day, the victims of brutality will be deprived of the opportunity for finality and a sense of real justice. We must not allow this to happen. There is a positive relationship between peace and justice — true peace cannot exist without justice and vice versa.
In the end, therefore, the ICC's effectiveness will largely depend on the efforts of states to demonstrate the requisite political will, backed by tangible resources and action. In this states have, and will continue, also to play a crucial role. The ICC has no police force and, to a large degree, relies on states to arrest indicted individuals.
States also have another, even more, important role. The ICC has been established as "complementary to national criminal jurisdictions". The primary responsibility for prosecuting the perpetrators of these crimes thus lies with states. This requires them to not only upgrade their national laws to include these crimes, but also to enhance the capacity of national jurisdictions to investigate and prosecute them.
So far, Australia has fulfilled only the first half of this matrix. Our federal criminal code was amended in 2002 to include all of the crimes (apart from aggression) in the Rome Statute.
Yet what is missing is appropriate legislation, and a dedicated investigative agency, that would allow more comprehensive prosecution of war crimes committed overseas by persons now in Australia. A War Crimes Unit was established in the late 1980s but was disbanded after only a few years, largely because, at the time, the issue of prosecuting Australian citizens for crimes committed during World War II was difficult from an evidentiary perspective and seen as divisive in the broader community.
However, as demonstrated by the recent extradition proceedings regarding Daniel Snedden (aka Dragan Vasiljkovic) and Charles Zentai, and the earlier case of Konrad Kalejs, such trials might now be appropriate and feasible in Australia. This is especially so given our increased consciousness of the need for proper accountability for those who commit gross violations of human rights and humanitarian law.
In the end, the true measure of the ICC's success will be the increased preparedness of national governments to pursue suspected criminals. What is required is the political will to ensure that this vital element in the internationalisation of justice operates effectively and transparently, in the interests of today's and future generations.
Steven Freeland is professor of international law at the University of Western Sydney and a visiting professional at the International Criminal Court, The Hague. These are his personal views.

Hotel at former Pabst brewery plans for April opening
The Brewhouse Inn & Suites, which is being developed within the former Pabst brew house and mill house, is planning for a grand opening on April 1.

Common Council rejects apartment high-rise behind Goll House
A proposed $55 million 27-story apartment tower for Milwaukee's east side has been rejected by the Common Council.
The council on Tuesday voted 10-5 to support the project, falling two votes short of the supermajority needed for approval. The zoning change needed 12 votes because a protest petition was signed by enough adjacent property owners, said Ald. Ashanti Hamilton, council president.
The opponents were Ald. Robert Bauman, whose district includes the site, along with aldermen Cavalier Johnson, Mark Borkowski, Jose Perez and Tony Zielinski.

Back to Vegas
Trip Start May 11, 2005
320Trip End Ongoing
The first week I was back, Chelise and I were invited to one of her workmates birthday parties. This party was unique because it involved a rented party bus which included a dance floor, speakers, disco ball and all the booze you could shake a stick at. We spent the night driving the strip, burning up the dance floor and seeing the major sites of Las Vegas Boulevard.
Another thing that occupied much of my time in Vegas was the Hash House Harriers. It occupied so much of my time that it has its own entry after this one that explains what it is, where we went and why we did it.
Since my jobs were exactly working out I had alot of free time to go hiking in Vegas and explore the desert. Our roommate Rachel who has 2 dogs (both pretty worthless) decided to get another one that was German shepherd Great Dane mix. Her name is Molly and she was my hiking and running partner. As you can see from the pictures I've posted she was my outdoors companion. There are so many hikes I did in Nevada and Arizona (20 mins away) that I won't bother with the details of each but I did enjoy the desert and the wild burros and coyotes that we would occasionally see. Chelise lucked out and scored a GPS unit from backpacker magazine. She was reading the magazine and saw that they needed people to map out hikes for them. She gave them a call and 2 weeks later BAM! We had our own GPS unit! She has since used the unit to map out hikes for the magazine and they are online at Backpacker.com.
Another side trip I was able to do was to drive to Flagstaff Arizona where a Carrie lives (friend from Germany) it was nice to catch up with her and go snowboarding at the local mountain. I was even able to catch up with a college roommate Joel and his wife Celina when they passed through Vegas. As is the tradition with most friends that come to Vegas we caught up over a few beers and wondering miles around the Vegas strip.
Between Chelise and Rachel's (our roommate) job I was always getting invited to some sort of party or sponsored event. As you can see from the pictures one of the major events was a huge sock hop. The event was complete with roller-skating waitress, classic cars and bebop music and dancing.
There is so much to see in Vegas and I would occasionally wonder the strip and try to capture it with the camera but there is so much more to Vegas than just the strip. Red rock canyon is an awesome place to hike as well the Colorado River which runs through Nevada to Arizona. I also ended up taking alot of side trips while living in Vegas, snowboarding in Utah, family vacation in Cancun, trips to San Diego and Bass Lake, hiking in Death Valley, flying to San Fransisco for bay to breakers and jetting off to New Orleans to see some Garmish friend get married...... check out the pictures!

Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I answered an online ad for highspeed internet service. I was so sick of my present service that I was ready for anything that sounded reasonable. I called them and signed up for their basic reidential service package. They scheduled a time for the installation of sat. disk, Modem etc. At the time of the install the tech. mentioned that the dish he had installed had a dent in it, but thyat he had to contact the Co. and ask what they wanted to do about it, so he might have to come back he never contacted me again.
A couple of days into this and I was calling customer service, as I had no internet connection, and what I had had previously was slow. They attributede the slowness to internet traffic, and then proceeded to walk me through a complicated proedure which took a good hour plus. The fix lasted a few days then was doing same thing again, no internet. Still operating very slow.
Same results at customer service again, i did mention the dent in the Sat. dish, they chose to ignore that.The next time (few days later) the system had slowed down to taking up to 15 min. to bring up a webpage or timing out on most requests. Back to customer service, theyn informed me that I had exceeded my downloads allotment maximum for the mounth and I would have to buy additional tokens or up grade my service package to remedy this problem, so I upgraded which put me into about an $80 per month zone and it fixed nothing.
Back to customer service, they wanted to try and fix everything again, I told them no it would be better to just cancel the service as they had been trying unsuccesfully to fix everything for three months, this is when I got the big whopper dropped on me, they said I had signed up for 24 months of service (I never agreed to nor signed anything), therefor an early cancellation fee of ($400) would apply. They want to charge me to cancell something they never got right in the first place. In my mind no contract was ever fullfilled on their end due to it never working right in the first place, (no internet connections half the time and the speed never fast as per their advertisements), at best speed was average. I just want to sever all relationships with this company, but not at an unjustified $400 fee, plus they were payed the mounthly fee for services not rendered.

Finally — it's the University of Northern Colorado football team's turn.
The Bears will take their shot at NCAA Division I FBS school at 8 Saturday night against the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, a member of the Mountain West Conference.
After several Big Sky Conference/FBS matchups last week, there will be four more this weekend, led by nationally-ranked FCS Eastern Washington traveling to Washington in search of its second win in two seasons against a Pac-12 team.
Sacramento State is at Cal in another BSC/Pac-12 matchup while Idaho State travels to Utah State.
Three-time defending FCS champion North Dakota State took it to Iowa State last weekend, and will stay on the road and look to maintain its lofty reputation at Weber State.
It wasn't a good week for BSC teams against FBS schools last week, going 0-10, but several games were far less than one-sided.
Wyoming, and its new coach Craig Bohl (formerly of NDSU) had a scare at halftime, trailing Montana 6-3.
The Cowboys came back strong in the second half to hand the Grizzlies a 17-12 loss.
Another BSC team that put a scare in another FBS opponent was Portland State, which took a 14-13 lead over Pac-12 member Oregon State at the half before succumbing 29-14.
Four third-quarter turnovers proved fatal for the Vikings.
For what it's worth, UNC's opponent, UNLV lost to Northern Arizona in 2012.
Since joining the NCAA Division I-FCS ranks, UNC had yet to beat an FBS school but has been paid handsomely over the years for those matchups, commonly known as money games.
» SLIPPED: EWU gave up its No. 1 ranking in the Sports Network Top 25 poll to NDSU, which retained No. 1 spot in the coaches' poll.
Montana moved up one spot to No. 4 in the Sports Network poll and remained fifth in the coaches' poll.
Montana State is No. 20 in the Sports Network poll and No. 23 in the coaches' poll.
Northern Arizona is No. 25 in the Sports Network Poll.
» ON THE SLATE: This week's schedule involving BSC teams will be the largest in conference history with all 13 teams playing nonconference games on the same day.
» TACKLES, TACKLES, MORE TACKLES: Southern Utah sophomore linebacker Chinedu Ahanonu set the BSC single-game record for tackles last week with 28 in the Thunderbirds' 28-19 loss to Nevada.
He had four tackles more than Eastern Washington's J.C. Sherritt in 2009.
» IN THE BOOKS: When NDSU beat Iowa State 33-14 last week, it was the Bison's 25th straight FCS victory, surpassing the old mark by one, set by Montana and Penn.
The Bison are a solid contender to win their fourth straight FCS title.
While setting the streak, Montana won its final 14 games of the 2001 season en route to the then-NCAA Division I-AA title, then opened the 2012 season with 10 straight wins. The Grizzlies streak ended with a loss to Eastern Washington.
Weber State's game this week against NDSU marks the second time in two years that the Wildcats will play host to a No. 1-ranked team. In 2012, No. 1-ranked Montana came to Ogden, Utah and beat the Wildcats.
» WATCHING: EWU's Vernon Adams Jr., the preseason Walter Payton Award favorite, didn't hurt his chances at all in the Eagles' 41-9 victory over UM-Western, completing 28 0f 31 passes for 370 yards with five touchdowns. He finished the game with a 243.8 quarterback ranking.
Adams is eighth in BSC history in career touchdown passes with 84, just 14 shy of the record 98 of Weber State's Cameron Higgins.
Adams has thrown for at least 300 yards in 14 of his 29 career games and is 22-14 as a starter.
Last season, he threw for a BSC single-season record 55 TDs, and has 64 touchdown passes in his last 17 games.
The Buck Buchanan Award Watch list includes Southern Utah's James Cowser and Montana's Zack Wagenmann for good reason — Cowser had 11 tackles and two sacks in last weekend's 28-19 loss to Nevada while Wagenmann had seven tackles, two sacks and two pass breakups in Montana's loss to Wyoming.
» PAPER OR PLASTIC: Montana leads the nation with its six sacks.
» HUGE PERFORMANCES: Weber State's Zach Smith rushed for a career-high 128 yards … Sacramento State's 49-13 victory over Incarnate Word — including five touchdown passes by Garrett Safron — was its largest margin of victory since beating St. Mary's 69-19 in 2003 … In his first collegiate kick, North Dakota freshman Reid Taubenheim drilled a 42-yard field goal … Portland State reserve quarterback Paris Penn rushed for a career-high 112 yards.
The University of Northern Colorado women's soccer team was one of only two BSC teams that were 0-2 last week.
The Bears dropped a 1-0 decision to Colorado State in mid-week, then lost to North Dakota State 2-1 on Sunday at home.
Against CSU, the lone goal came in the 87th minute.
Against NDSU, two goals were scored within a 30-second span as the Bison scored in the 66th minute before UNC answered 30 seconds later on a penalty kick by Essence Ortiz-Laneir. NDSU scored the winner in the 80th minute.
The only other BSC team to go winless on the week was Idaho State, which lost 4-0 to Eastern Washington and 5-0 to Gonzaga.
The Bears will play at 7 p.m. Friday at Air Force and then play host to Southeast Missouri State at noon Sunday at Jackson Soccer Field.

Personal Protection systems
Haganah is a fantastic personal protection system. I would also HIGHLY suggest Tony Blauer's S.P.E.A.R. system. It is second to none. Combine the two and its amazing.
I like American Freestyle wrestling, did it for 12 years, now I help coach. I also like Gun-Fu, nothing like a .45 hitting someone in the chest!
Kwon Jitstu Do, is my favorite. It combines all of the best moves from tae kwon do, jeet kune do and ninjitsu. It was banned from cage fighting because it's too deadly.
Just readin' through all the posts made on what seems like a popular 'nough thread 'n thought I'd add my 2 cents.
Think I'll throw up next time somebody gets into a debate over how often fights go onto the ground! Where does that percent come from anyway? Most likely a BJJ school trying to sell thier wares! If ya really want to know the answer to a question like that ask somebody who KNOWS. Any bouncer, policeman or correction officer that I ever talked with thinks such claims and percents are complete horse3%7t.
Next up is the ol' routine where folks start fussin' over how likely one might be facing somebody with a weapon. Ever hear of the Crime Index Report? Every year the big city police agencies send violent crime stats off to the Hoover boys (aka FBI). The feds then compile the info and send a report up to the Justice dept. Whole process takes 'bout a year before the Justice Dept. releases the info. to everybody! The Crime Index Report can be read on the FBI website or even found in most yearly World Almamacs, And the best part is you get facts not b.s. over things like how often violent crimes involve weapons, multiple-opponents,etc.
Last but not least..the sad reality about martial arts. Back in the day Karate got real popular and before long everybody 'n thier brother was opening a school. The result was obvious. Minimal qualifications=Poor instruction. Same thing happend years later with the Wing Chun style. Much as this will upset a few here, I see the problem extending out to some of today's popular styles like Krav Maga and MMA. Too many instructors with not enough knowledge gives any martial art a bad name.
90% of fights end up on the ground statistic
I am going to paraphrase this and add some information from a site that actually has the study summary. This "90%" is one of the most often misquoted and misapplied statistic perpetuated by certain individuals to promote an art. I think the Gracie's helped in this. The number was extrapolated from the ASLET (American Society of Law Enforcement Training) on a study conducted by Sgt. Greg Dossey on use of force incidents reported by LAPD for the year 1988. Sgt. Dossey looked at all 5,617 use of force incident narratives written by officers in 1988, and devised a method for codifying the information contained and analyzing it for what they identified as dominant altercation patterns. They did the study again in 1992. In short, here is the actually statistic:
The report concluded: Nearly two thirds of the 1988 altercations (62%) ended with the officer and subject on the ground with the officer applying a joint lock and handcuffing the subject. Given this, it is better put that the LAPD data says when officers physically fought with suspects (versus simply encountering minor resistance or non-compliance which required a minor use of force, but did not escalate into an altercation), 95% of the time those fights took one of five patterns, and 62% of those five types of altercations ended up with the officer and subject on the ground with the officer locking and handcuffing the suspect.
Here is a link to the study on EJMAS: http://ejmas.com/jnc/2007jnc/jncart_Leblanc_0701.html
I doubt it will make a difference to a thread like this. People look at this stuff like a religion so you will never change their minds. I happen to know of the author who posted the info on EJMAS and he still laughs when people continue to argue about this statistic. For what it's worth.

I studied TKD and found my instructor was fairly practical about it. Learn the katas so you get muscle memory, learn self defence and spar every week. His plan was always do wjatever you can to get free of the situation and run to safety if possible. Or hem pull your weapon and get it over with.
As a former correctional officer and deputy sheriff I would say most fights do go to the ground and no it is not horse****. Get some fact before you post nonsense.
|The Following User Says Thank You to cuchillo negro For This Useful Post:
While I didn't read through the whole thread it seems most people are recommending some sort of ground fighting technique. There is lots of talk about how most fights end up on the ground so you should learn to fight on the ground which is good idea I guess. If I needed to defend myself without a firearm i would want to stay on my feet and hope i can find an opening to escape. I'll be the first to admit I don't know much about jiu jitsu or other ground fighting martial arts but it seems like these techniques are based on initiating the take down and bringing the fight to the ground which I think could hinder your escape. I would think learning kickboxing or muay thai along with some kind of take down defense would be a more practical than learning a specialized ground fighting skill. Maybe someone who has actual experience in one of these ground fighting martial arts can chime in but is there any special skills used if you have to deal with more than one individual, a lot of fights that I have witnessed have not been one on one fights and going to the ground while you are outnumbered seems extremely dangerous to me.
I have seen it too many times where a guy hits in the chin and he gets knocked out. The longer you stand up fight with someone you increase your chances of getting chin checked. I have put several people out with a proper strike to the chin. I am not bragging but it is because that is how I train that makes it work. Ask anyone that has been hit on the chin and they will tell you they got stunned or even knocked out.
Now if a person has no stand up fighting skills learning to tie up your opponent in a clinch, as seen in boxing matches, can stop the aggressor from further bombarding you with punches and help protect your chin. BJJ, at least the rights schools, teaches a person to avoid the punches and close with for the clinch to tie up the aggressor. There are several ways to take down a person without committing to stay on the ground. Even a well placed hip throw will end a fight and yes BJJ does teach throws too. Learning to fight on the ground will be useful when the fight does go the ground which you might not have control of when in a fight.
Do fights go to the ground?......I have to say yes. From my years of growing up in bad neighborhoods and working in a correctional institution and on the streets as a patrol deputy most fights I have witnessed did end up on the ground. Not that they intended to but during a struggle one or both parties fell down after both individuals grabbed one another.
You see it is natural reaction to grab someone when they hit you if you don't have proper training which most people don't and even ones that do are taught something that does not work so they resort to grabbing their opponent to stop receiving further punches. when people grab one another the chances of going to the ground increase because balance is disrupted.
Also if you go against someone that has good take downs and you don't know how to stop them guess what you will go to the ground and no striking is going to stop it. People come on here with delusions thinking that ground defense is not important but they are basing it off what their instructors told them.
Being well rounded is the key. Learn to fight standing and on the ground. Learn how to use a knife and a gun. Learn anything you can that will help save your ass out in the streets and inside your own home. We are not safe anywhere these days.
All my altercations have gone to the ground (because I took them there), but my best guess is 80% all other LEO fights I have observed and helped with went to the ground.
I have witnessed dozens of drunken bar brawls, a majority end up on the ground with the participants either rolling around, or one is completely dominating the other.
In large fights (more than 5 people), it typically stays on the feet, though I have occasionally seen people on the ground after locking up and falling over.
There are a lot of reasons why a fight might go to the ground. Someone may trip, both participants may lock up and fall, they may be drunk, someone gets knocked to the ground, or someone takes the other to the ground with the intent of dominating them there.
In any of those scenarios you had better be well versed and comfortable in a 2D plane, because if not it may be your last fight.
Here is the handbook
I don't think you can get much better training than three generations from the source.
|The Following User Says Thank You to BJJ_Grappler For This Useful Post:
From my experience not so much go to the ground. But I also put them on the ground so I can sit on them for the cops.
I can see how police stats would be different to civillian stats. And even culturally different.
Otherwise yes you get Mcdojo BJJ and MMA now.
Forcing somebody on the ground and going to the ground with them are different things, right? I watch cops practice ways to force thier suspects down yet remain on thier feet, unless they sit down on the suspect or lean on them to apply the handcuffs. While the same do also practice ground fighting the former description seems to be thier prefered method.
I never suggested thinking in a 2d plane either. It's just not practical to not include ground skills. What I did suggest is that 90-95% routine is over blown and that it often comes from BJJ schools.
It's good to hear that you train at a school with a solid foundation. These days it seems for every good school there are 10 poor ones. And the more popular a style becomes the more often bad schools appear.
To the OP original question "What is the most practical Martial Art"...
The answer to that question is the one that you enjoy and that they train you to hit and defend yourself. Not one just that sells belts and pretty color patches for your uniform.
I train in combat TKD, however it is NOT the sport type of TKD. Our instructor believes in his students should be fully rounded in self defense.
Here is his curriculum:
Martial TKD (yes we hit each other and occasionally get knocked out )
American Catch wrestling (ground work) Slowly introduced once passed the beginner level classes
Eskrima stick work (short hand weapons) also mixes in defending against baseball bats and other type weapons.
Knife defense (short hand weapons)
Bow work (long hand weapons)
Hand Gun training (both defense and shooting)
Long Gun training (defense and operation, haven't studied this yet not a black belt, yet)
So find a school which teaches ALL aspects of combat and you will have found a good school and a way to live in this crazy world!

Spot on!
krav maga, brazilian jiu jitsu and Kajukenbo. this, mixed with a bushido philosophy and seems practical to me.
that said i do agree with your statement. this thread is about self defense but i dont get my panties in a knot over someone recommending a gun. its a very good recommendation
and there are plenty of circumstances where a gun wont be an option. such as an attacker taking it away or you simply leaving it at home when you need it most. cant really take away or leave knowledge and experience at home.
Pretty much translates to "I have never been in a fight"
