Stocks bounced back sharply Thursday, buoyed by massive buybacks following a strong Chinese economic indicator.
The Nikkei 225 average ended up 295.62 points, or 2.11 percent, at 14,337.79. On Wednesday, the key market gauge sagged 33.08 points.
The Topix climbed 19.29 points, or 1.68 percent, to 1,169.34 after falling 3.33 points Wednesday.
The TSE opened higher on buybacks after the Dow Jones industrial average rebounded overnight.
The Nikkei accelerated its upswing when the HSBC China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index for May, released in the morning, turned out better than market expectations, brokers said. The PMI stood at 49.7, against a market estimate of 48.1.
The Nikkei successfully ended above its 25-day moving average, which stood at 14,278.85 as of Wednesday. In recent sessions, the upside of the index was capped by the moving average, brokers said.
The Nikkei average is now ready to try around its 75- and 200-day moving averages, which are around 14,500 to 14,600, brokers said.
Still, analysts agree that additional incentives, including the yen's further depreciation and the Abe administration's economic growth strategy, would be necessary to drive up stock prices further.
Rising issues overwhelmed falling ones 1,619 to 140 in the first section, while 51 issues were unchanged.
Volume ballooned to 2.345 billion shares from Wednesday's 1.795 billion.
Brokerage firms, which have been oversold, attracted buybacks. Among them were Nomura, Daiwa and SBI Holdings.
Rough day for JGBs
Japanese government bonds lost ground Thursday on the surge in stock prices.
The lead June futures contract on 10-year JGBs ended down 0.08 point from Wednesday at 145.14.
Volume rose to 22,567 contracts from 18,745.
In late interdealer trading in cash JGBs, the yield on the latest 333rd 10-year issue with a 0.6 percent coupon stood at 0.600 percent, up from 0.590 percent late Wednesday.
JGBs were under pressure as the benchmark 225-issue Nikkei stock average rose over 300 points at one point, but JGBs' downside was limited amid a lack of fresh clues.

Funny you ask. I was worried about that as the new Meyle's only had the female hex head cavity in the end of the bolt, no matching piece on the inside part of the joint at all. The old links required the thin 17mm wrench to remove though I didn't worry about damaging the boot so I used a regular one to remove them.
I was prepared to just use an open end/box wrench on it to tighten as there was no way to hold things in place with the hex head AND use a socket on the nut with my torque wrench. The good news is the bolts didn't seem to spin at all and I was able to tighten things down and set it properly with the torque wrench without having to hold things in place. Also the Meyle's use a 15mm nut instead of a 17 or 16 and I needed a deep-well socket to get things finally tightened as the bolt seemed a bit longer than the old one. (Lots of small variations on the specs of these things apparently.)
My recollection is that I didn't need to hold things when I put in the old ones either, so I'm thinking that maybe the new parts are stiff enough to get things properly tightened but after they wear out you need to hold things in place to avoid the bolt's spinning. That would explain the design change.

Sills & Smith is an Ottawa, Canada based band led by singer-songwriters Jeremy Sills and Frank Smith. The music is a genre bending and blending stew that touches on folk, alternative rock and progressive rock styles.

Jeremy Sills plays acoustic guitars, piano and crystal bowls. All songs on Etched were composed by Frank Smith and Jeremy Sills -- Words and Music - Frank Smith; Music - Jeremy Sills.

by Dave Manning (May 6, 2014)
The Glorious Ache opens with a synth and guitar-feedback intro leading into two strong full-ahead rock pieces sung with great harmonies and excellent guitar work. The third tune, Be Careful, slows down considerably with acoustic guitar and more forefront bass with some fine accompanying electric guitar, though it has a darker, almost ominous, texture and cadence.
This prompted me to anticipate a possible progrock journey. Instead, Jeremy Sills and Frank Smith, along with Jonathan Edwards, offer up a more heavier, perhaps alternative, folk-rock sound with various elements from other rock genres interwoven.
Not that I'm disappointed. Quite the opposite. This third studio album by Sills & Smith is my introduction to them, having not had the chance to listen to their previous releases. What initially struck me was their harmonies, even on the heavier tunes, and the fitting rhythm/lead electric guitar on almost every song, as well as the aforementioned infused elements.
Advice Best Taken brings in a more folk-rock mood, though not as rocking out as the initial two, then into Parachute Love, which serves up a more upbeat up-tempo rock with some fine electric guitar lead-work. Amanda, a touching and soft ballad, slows the pace down and enters a slower, more electric folk-rock tone with acoustic guitar more prominent. This remains relatively constant through the balance of the album with the exceptions of Tornado Alley, Living On a Island, and Freezing In Here leaning more to the rock side of the equation.
There is experimentation here, such as on Hold Tight and In Memory, with the inclusion of some synth and moving into a 'prog-rock' area, stretching the boundaries of folk/rock into other territory. The songwriting is the star here though, as the songs themselves on The Glorious Ache would stand on their own with only acoustic guitar accompaniment.
The poetics of Frank's lyrics are of an open structure, creating tight expressive writing where almost every word is necessary to carry the images. Many of the lyrics invoke vignettes or collages illustrating subjects ranging from loss and grief (In Memory), and one's faith in the face of these (A Church In The Country), fear and loss (Tornado Alley), and fear and consequences of traversing outside of any arbitrary boundaries (Be Careful)…
"This world's Not built For sissies Or fools
Be careful You're not a dreamer Because dreamers Are not Welcome here"
Yet, all is not restrained despair or loss, for Jeremy and Frank do sing of the enduring love of one's special lady-love in the short sweet Fill My Cup, as well as the unbound joy of 'falling in Love' in Parachute Love…
"Parachute love It's such a rush Parachute love Maximum G-Force Body Crush"
What I appreciate most is Frank and Jeremy's harmonies. They are a pleasure, meshing well with the music even on heavier, more rocking tunes. There is a flow to The Glorious Ache with a coherence in the progression of the songs even though there is a spectrum of inclusion of styles and a possibility that the two or three opening pieces seem not to fit initially with the rest of the album.
Yet, taken as a whole, and after seriously listening over the last week, The Glorious Ache reveals the scope of stylistic elements and more unconventional song structure Jeremy, Frank and Jonathan have fused into their song-crafting, as well as the depth of thought and emotion ingrained in Frank Smith's lyrics. What we have here is an earnest melodic collection worthy of long-term listening and distinctive musical endurance.

Jeremy and I had an excellent pre-production meeting with Phil Bova at Bova Sound in Ottawa last Friday. Plans are in place to record the 4th Sills and Smith studio album from April to June, 2014. It is still too early to determine a release date. There are 25 new, original songs under consideration, enough for two albums. But we will pick the very best 12-14 of the bunch to give you a really great album. So excited! Will keep you folks posted as the recording progresses. Cheers, Frank
by Michael Popke, With an album title as epic as The Glorious Ache, you'll no doubt expect a grand listening experience. And that's exactly what you get on the third release from the diverse Canadian band Sills & Smith. Full of sometimes haunting, sometimes cynical and always memorable songs, The Glorious Ache bursts with arrangements that span four decades of musical influences — from the Beatles to Warren Zevon and Neil Young to The Cure, U2 and beyond.
Despite the name, this dynamic duo is actually a trio: Jeremy Sills (vocals, guitars), Frank Smith (vocals) and Jonathan Edwards (everything else, including some vocals). These 15 songs sound nothing like each other, which essentially makes Sills & Smith — & Edwards? — an accessible progressive-rock group. "Ready, Set, Go" bounces like an 80s dance-rock track, "Be Careful" is a dark and droning warning, "Advice, Best Taken" captures not only Warren Zevon's vocal style but also his cynicism, "Freezing in Here" rocks like a superior bar band on fire, and elements of Neil Young swirl around the gut-wrenching "Tornado Alley." But the most glorious of aches on The Glorious Ache is "Amanda (For Amanda Todd)" — a gripping and disturbing examination of the life and suicide of a 15-year-old Canadian girl bullied to death. It's a devastatingly emotional track, and any parent left unmoved after hearing it doesn't possess a soul.
The soul of Sills & Smith is what allows this group to write such compelling songs. Edwards' guitar solos take them to another realm, and strong production boosts the overall impact. Genuine, melodic and engaging, Sills & Smith simply is too good for radio. Track Listing: 1) Hold Tight 2) Ready Set Go 3) Be Careful 4) Advice Best Taken 5) Parachute Love 6) Amanda (For Amanda Todd) 7) A Church in the Country 8) It's Wrecked 9) Tornado Alley 10) If You 11) Living On an Island 12) Promises 13) Freezing in Here 14) Fill My Cup 15) In Memory

I remember way way back when you sent me the early version of "Hold Tight." I recall saying then that this would be the perfect album opener.;)
Sills and Smith are based in Ottawa and class themselves as folk/rock.
Members are Jeremy Sills, Frank Smith and Jonathan Edwards. Frank Smith is the main vocalist and lyricist of the band. Jeremy Sills and Jonathan Edwards share electric and acoustic guitar duties, backing vocals with drums and bass played by Jonathan.
The band have released two albums: "Uncertain Vista" (2011) and "No Way In, No Way Out" (2012). Their new album is set for release in late Spring 2013.
"No Way In, No Way Out" is a very nicely produced album that shows a good progression in terms of production from their previous CD, 2011's "Uncertain Vista". Their style varies from Midwest Indie Rock to 90's 4AD and even has elements of folk, early goth and interesting alternative experimentation at times.
The drum and guitar sounds work really well together and the plaintive vocals sit well in the mix. Vocal influences seem to range from Nick Cave/Interpol/Michael Stipe to Lloyd Cole and The Red House Painters. There is a strong sense of empathy in many of the vocals.
If you like the styles of music described above, you will be likely to appreciate the song writing which is generally well thought out and full of diversity and innovation, just where it is least expected.
Arrangements are simple and not over busy and this helps bring out the songs to strongly showcase the band's potential.
Personally, three of my favourite tracks from the album would be "Clouds", "Radiance" and "Pain".
"Clouds" seems to have a Red House Painters influence infused into it. Nice chiming chorus guitars and a folk influence from the use of a pedal steel guitar.
"Radiance" is very emotive lyrical imagery and a lovely build up to the song. It has a good musical balance that has that happy/sad feel that could go either way.
"Pain" is one of the most interesting tracks. It has a dynamic that usurps listener expectation in the light of previous tracks and has an experimental edge that borders on Bauhaus/early goth. For me it is one of the most innovative tracks on the album.
Another stand out track would be "Would it all be Different?" which has a beautiful, sad, unrequited feel where "luck is measured in a thimble." It is a unique track full of layers and dimensions and a courageous track which culminates in an ending that veers towards a celebration of Pink Floyd.
The album is available from the many links included on their Reverbnation site. If you like good quality, alternative music from independent bands not influenced by corporate greed then this is a recommended release.
I look forward to the new album later this year and wish Sills and Smith all success from the DGR Team.

Steamboat Springs real estate market continues trend of positive statistics
October 21, 2013
Land Title measures cash sales in Routt County
In response to an inquiry from a real estate agent, Melissa Gibson, branch manager at Land Title Guarantee Company, started recording what percent of sales in Routt County were made with cash.
August was the first month the figure was available for Routt County's real estate market, and it showed that 52 percent of sales were cash purchasers. In September, 46 percent of sales were cash purchases.
While seemingly high, those figures reflect a nationwide trend toward more cash purchases of homes following the Great Recession.
National estimates for the amount of cash purchases as of July range from 31 percent from the National Association of Realtors to 57 percent from a Goldman Sachs report. Both numbers are cited as all-time highs.
Gibson said it's hard to pin down what type of buyer is driving the trend in Routt County.
As a resort market that's attractive to second homeowners, she said, the area has typically had a lot of cash transactions. The increased burden of securing a loan following regulatory changes to the mortgage market also could make cash sales more attractive to those who can afford it but otherwise would secure a loan.
Because she only recently started keeping track of the figure, Gibson was not able to say whether the past two months represented a significant increase for Routt County.
Steamboat Springs — The real estate market in Steamboat Springs has been on the slow road to recovery for some time. Indicators such as a favorable sell-through rate, increases in transactions and dollar volume and the falling number of foreclosures have been aligning behind an improving outlook.
A search of Routt County records Monday afternoon showed only two notices of election and demand, which signify the start of the foreclosure process, had been filed in October. The monthly high for the year so far was 18 NEDs recorded in May. There have been 113 NEDs recorded to date this year compared with 203 by the end of October in 2012.
"You can't stabilize until distressed (sales) stop driving the market," said Jon Wade, of Colorado Group Realty.
Distressed sales, where a property is offered at a discount because of circumstances such as foreclosure, can affect the perception or actual value of comparable market price homes.
With fewer distressed properties in the marketplace, prices should stabilize at a market rate that more accurately reflects current values.
"Where we are in the process depends on the part of the market," Wade wrote in his Third Quarter report.
A rush of activity in single-family homes under $500,000 in Steamboat Springs during the past year has largely depleted inventory in that segment. Wade said that will force buyers who can't afford to move up in price to look in the county.
In his report, Wade wrote that 81 percent of homes under $500,000 are in the county as are 69 percent of homes listed for less than $1 million.
At the current rate of sales, there is nine months of inventory for single family homes between $300,000 and $600,000, according to Wade.
Wade also cited the $1 million to $1.3 million range for single family homes as one to watch, with 10.7 months of inventory left at the current pace of sales.
About 55 percent of buyers to date for the year were from outside of Routt County, with 12 percent of buyers from the Front Range. The Case-Shiller Home Price Index lists Denver among the hottest real estate markets in the country.
Potential buyers who've either taken advantage of appreciation along the Front Range or have watched the market turn could help lift prices in Steamboat, as typically affluent second homeowners have a greater ability to move upmarket when searching for a property.
A report from Land Title Guarantee Company states that the median single family home price as of September 2013 is $485,000, up 18 percent compared to 2012. The dollar volume is up about 14 percent and the number of transactions is up 11.75 percent for the same time period.
The total effect of the positive indicators and statistics has been that more people are comfortable to join the market, Wade said.

One of my most embarrassing bathing suit shopping experiences happened a few years ago. Jackson was just 6 months old and Jacob, a newly-minted 5 year old. Because of their ages, I had to bring both boys into the dressing room while I tried to get a bathing suit on and off before the security cameras had a chance to record this spectacle. I know, Ive got issues.
Jackson was content sitting in his carrier as long as he could see me, but Jacob was a little less patient. After promising a new pack of Pokmon cards if he would just give mommy a little piece and quiet he agreed and started playing with his Hot Wheels.
With both boys distracted by the full length mirror, I get the first of two selections on. I give it a quick look and decide against the color. In between getting that suit off and the next on, it looks like bringing the boys was no big deal at all.
Jacob soon grows bored and starts asking questions.
Mama, why do girls wear swim suits?
Because, we like to torture ourselves.
Why do you HAVE to wear swimsuits?
Because you could get arrested for indecent exposure if you didnt.
Why do you still look like you have a baby in your tummy?
Ok, thats enough. Just play and let me try one more on and we can go.
So I continued with my last selection and said my favorite little bathing suit prayer. Dear God, please, please, please let this be the year that cellulite is as coveted as the next installment of the Hunger Games book series.
As I was removing the last swimsuit, and silently putting a jinx on the person who thought spandex is a material suited for everyBODY, Jacob broke into song. He had been listening to music with his dad and the tune he was singing sounded a little familiar. At the top of his lungs he sang,
Oh big belly bamalam! Oh big belly bamalam! Big mamas got a child that nearly drives her wild!
And he repeated this over and over and louder and louder. When I finally got my clothes back on we quickly left the store. I then said my new bathing suit prayer. A prayer that I still say before, during and after swimsuit shopping. Dear God, please use lightening to remind me to NEVER take my children with me when I try on bathing suits. Oh, and God, one more thing. Please, please, please when you get a chance could you work on the cellulite thing. Amen.

News and Events
Thailand Adventure
As part of our community service programme, some of our A Level students went to Thailand for two weeks in December. It was a working holiday which meant that the students had planned days working - teaching English in local schools. Teaching was done in 3 schools on the mainland, in the Khao Lak area and in one school on Koh Yao Noi Island.
The rest of the time was spent visiting local cultural heritage sites, which included 3 temples. Other places of interest were James Bond Island, the Floating Village, zip lining, and some students even went to interact and swim with elephants. The students were also participating in various activities such as Thai cooking lessons, which proved to be not only fun for the students, but also helped them learn more about Thai culture. The trip has been a memorable and life changing experience for the students.
The students were accompanied by Mr Blom, Principal of the British International Distance College.
Talent Show and Sports Day
As always, one of the highlights of our year! We made the trek to Bryanston to compete against our fellow BIC'ers in volleyball, chess and basketball, and ended the day with the annual Talent Show. Onka was undoubtedly the highlight of the evening. He had the audience in stitches as the MC, and his (hitherto unknown) skills as a rapper left the audience asking for more.
A-level Ball
On the 16 th of July our A-levels headed off to the Indaba Hotel in Fourways for the A-level Ball. Always a highlight of the year, it is a chance for our students to show off their classy sides. And did they ever! They were snazzy and fashionable, and did us proud.
Celebration of Achievement
This year's Celebration of Achievement was a very enjoyably affair. The evening went down in high spirits. Mrs Swanepoel and Mrs Oshry spoke beautifully to open the evening, and then it was on to the awards.
Congratulations to all of the students who received awards on the night. It is always a pleasure and a privilege to celebrate hard work and commitment. A special congratulations to the recipients of our Special Awards - Juan Luis Mba Nchama for Achievement in IGCSE Spanish and Nadine Whelpton for IGCSE French.
Brilliance awards 2016
On the 9th of June 2016 we celebrated all of the students (and the lecturers who aided them) who achieved the top marks in their subjects in last year's Cambridge exam. Of the 620 000 IGCSE entrants worldwide, and the 460 000 AS and A Level entrants worldwide, an incredible nineteen of our candidates were celebrated for first place either nationally or internationally, making us once again the top performing Cambridge school in South Africa by a thick margin.

WSJ editorial misrepresented Abu Ghraib abuses, ABC News report
A Wall Street Journal editorial said that "numerous" investigations into the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal concluded that the abuses "had nothing to do with interrogations." In fact, the opposite is true. The editorial also falsely claimed that a series of Bush administration memos that sought to loosen constraints on interrogators "sanctioned no specific interrogation techniques" and misrepresented an ABC News report on interrogation methods.
Opposing passage of Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) amendment [1] prohibiting the use of torture during interrogations, a December 13 Wall Street Journal editorial [2] claimed that "numerous" probes into the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq concluded that the alleged abuses there "had nothing to do with interrogations." In fact, Senate and military probes concluded the opposite. The editorial also claimed that the so-called "torture memos [3]," a series of memoranda written by Bush administration lawyers and officials that narrowed the definition of torture and sought to loosen constraints on interrogators, never sanctioned "specific interrogation techniques"; however at least one memo [4], which went out under the letterhead of the Secretary of Defense, sanctioned the use of 24 interrogation techniques, including sleep and dietary "adjustments," as well as a technique called "Fear Up Harsh," which involved "[s]ignificantly increasing the fear level in a detainee."
Additionally, the editorial stated that ABC News reported that 11 out of 12 high-level Al Qaeda detainees had talked after being subjected to the "waterboarding [5]" technique. ABC made no such assertion in its broadcast.* [6] A segment on the December 5 edition of ABC's World News Tonight -- to which the editorial was apparently referring reported that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice made the claim that the use of six interrogation methods sanctioned by a presidential finding -- including waterboarding -- had extracted information from detainees. The same segment reported that 11 high-level Al Qaeda detainees had been moved from prisons in Eastern Europe to Northern Africa, not that "11 of 12" had provided information. The ABC report did not connect Rice's statement to those specific detainees, and the network offered no indication that it had done any independent reporting to verify or refute her claim.
The Journal also argued that if the McCain amendment passes, rendition -- the practice of transferring suspected terrorists in U.S. custody to other countries, including nations known for torturing prisoners -- would increase, and that the practice was "favored" by the Clinton administration. However, as Media Matters for America has previously noted [7], Clinton-era renditions usually involved the transportation of criminals to the U.S. or other nations so they could be tried, and all renditions were subject to White House review; after 9-11, President Bush authorized broader use of renditions strictly for the purposes of interrogation and exempted renditions from Clinton-era restrictions against prisoner abuse.
The Journal editorial claimed that "numerous probes have proved [Abu Ghraib] had nothing to do with interrogations," so the alleged abuses at the prison should not be used as grounds to support McCain's amendment. In fact, as the Los Angeles Times reported in an August 26, 2004, article, a Pentagon report found that many of the 44 separate cases of alleged abuse that the Pentagon investigated occurred during interrogations conducted at the prison, and that the death of at least one prisoner resulted from harsh interrogation techniques used by the CIA:
Among the cases for which new information is provided is that of the death of a prisoner who was being interrogated by a CIA officer in November 2003. The prisoner, who had been hit on the head with a gun by a Navy SEAL for resisting arrest, was placed in a shower room during interrogations and found dead hours later, according to the report.
In one case, the generals found, two intelligence soldiers "beat and kicked a passive, cuffed detainee" suspected of a role in a mortar attack on the prison by insurgents that wounded [Lt. Col. Steven L.] Jordan and killed two soldiers.
When a military policeman intervened and tried to stop the abuse, he was told by the intelligence soldiers that "we are the professionals; we know what we are doing," according to the report.
As it turned out, the prisoner probably was not involved in the attack and was released later that day.
And as The Washington Post reported [8] on April 23, the investigation [9] by Maj. Gen. George R. Fay into Abu Ghraib abuses concluded that senior officers at the site "failed to ensure proper staff oversight of detention and interrogation operations."
The Journal also claimed that a second concern raised by proponents of the amendment -- the so-called torture memos, a series of administration documents which tracked the evolution of the interrogation policies in Afghanistan and Iraq, "sanctioned no specific interrogation techniques." However, as The New York Times observed in a detailed examination [3] of the memos, "A memorandum [4] from Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld to Gen. James T. Hill outlined 24 permitted interrogation techniques, 4 of which were considered stressful enough to require Mr. Rumsfeld's explicit approval."
The Journal editorial claimed that ABC News reported that "11 of 12 captured al Qaeda kingpins who have talked only did so after being waterboarded," and that "[t]his would appear to contradict so many glib suggestions ... that such techniques 'just plain don't work.' The truth is that sometimes they do work." But ABC did not broadcast such a report. In a December 5 segment on ABC's World News Tonight, correspondent Brian Ross reported that Rice "said today that the intelligence gathered from those techniques has stopped planned terror attacks and saved lives." The report did not independently verify Rice's statement, nor did it provide any indication that Rice had offered specific examples to support her claim. In addition, the report did not indicate that Rice was referring to 11 high-level Al Qaeda detainees who had been moved from prisons in Eastern Europe to Northern Africa under the CIA's rendition program. ABC News did report on November 18 that sources at the CIA said that waterboarding had successfully extracted information from Khalid Shaikh Mohammed [10], the alleged mastermind of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, and other detainees at a secret prison in Kabul, with "debatable results." That report, however, did not indicate the number of detainees who had talked after being subjected to the method.
Finally, the Journal editorial warned that the controversial CIA process of rendition would increase if McCain's amendment passes, and that the program was "favored by the Clinton administration because it lacked the nerve to handle captured terrorists outside the criminal justice system." Media Matters has previously noted [7] instances in which media figures implied no difference between renditions under Clinton and those used in the post-9-11 war on terror. As the Times reported [11] on March 6, the CIA "had been authorized by presidential directives to carry out renditions, but under much more restrictive rules" under Clinton; in most cases, they were used to transport criminals to the United States or other countries to stand trial. But following 9-11, Bush sanctioned a "broad new latitude," and the agency was "authorized to transfer prisoners to other countries solely for the purpose of detention and interrogation;" the stringent White House review on all renditions under Clinton was waived.
The New Yorker also reported in a separate article [12] published in February that the rendition program "expanded beyond recognition" under Bush, "becoming, according to a former C.I.A. official, 'an abomination.' " The article continued: "What began as a program aimed at a small, discrete set of suspects -- people against whom there were outstanding foreign arrest warrants -- came to include a wide and ill-defined population that the Administration terms 'illegal enemy combatants.' "
From the December 13 Wall Street Journal editorial headlined "Torturous Progress [2]":
It's coming late in the game, but a little honesty has finally crept into the debate over interrogation in the war on terror. To wit, the critics are at last having to explain what they really object to, as opposed to their typically vague and inaccurate accusations of "torture."
Mr. Cheney's stand is smoking out the critics, who for months have hid behind incantations first about Abu Ghraib, which numerous probes have proved had nothing to do with interrogations, and then the so-called "torture memos," which sanctioned no specific interrogation techniques. So congratulations of a sort to the Washington Post, perhaps the most vociferous promoter of the "torture narrative," for finally admitting in a Sunday editorial what so offends its editors.
And don't forget "rendition" -- the turning over of captured terrorists -- to the likes of Egypt or Syria, the practice favored by the Clinton Administration because it lacked the nerve to handle captured terrorists outside the criminal justice system. We trust the CIA more than Egyptian intelligence, but where are the "torture" critics on the morality of this practice? The truth is that if the McCain Amendment passes, rendition will almost certainly increase. Perhaps this will be the next liberal target, until every al Qaeda detainee is treated no differently than a common thief.
* Correction: The original version of this item stated that ABC News did not report that 11 of 12 Al Qaeda detainees required waterboarding before talking. In fact, the last paragraph of a December 5 Web-only ABC News article [13] stated: "Of the 12 high-value targets housed by the CIA, only one did not require water boarding before he talked." The article provided no sourcing for the assertion.

|Home > After Saddam > Article
|Tuesday May 6, 2003
He said the families, who were sharing 64 tents, were mostly living on hand-outs from charities or neighbours. Other Palestinians have moved in with relatives.
"I left my grown-up daughters and my wife at a house of one of my relatives," said Samir Mohammed, 44.
"I cannot bring them here."
Some of the families said they were given time to evacuate their homes, but others were forced to leave on the spot.
"They kicked me out of the house and hit my daughter," said Hayat Hussein, 40, a mother of four. Sitting in a bare tent except for a rug and clothes, Mrs Hussein said she had sold her furniture to buy food.
Another woman, Fatima Khudhur, said: "They threatened us with guns to force us to leave. We left our things with our relatives. There is no place for them here."
Many camp dwellers regretted Saddam's downfall. "No one dared to harm us when he was here," said Thamir Mohammed.

Which Long Time Bachelor is Finally Getting Hitched?
They said it would never happen... But miracles of miracles, George Clooney is getting married.
The longtime bachelor has reportedly proposed to British lawyer Amal Alamuddin. A source tells People magazine it happened "not that long ago" and that there are no current wedding plans. "George and Amal are trying to keep things very low-key, but they also aren't really trying to hide this."
Speculation of the engagement was sparked after Amal was spotted flashing bling on her left hand while she and George had dinner with Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber in Malibu Thursday.
Amal, a human rights attorney, has been dating the star since last year.
Despite popular belief, George was once a married man. Between 1989 and 1993, Talia Balsam was the lucky lady.

Obama Figure
4 Recommendations
NYCTrendSpotter's recommendation
An action figure we can believe in. At a time when America so desperately needs a hero, one man has stepped forward to show us a brand new vision of what our country (and the world) can be in the 21st century. In many ways, Barack Obama is the closest thing we'll get to a real superhero - someone who has inspired millions of people to step past fear, to be brave enough to hope and to look past cynicism, imagining what we could be if we were at our best. So it's fitting that Obama should get the action figure treatment. Complete with a very hopeful pointed finger and 8 points of articulation for unlimited Presidential posing, the limited edition Obama figure will have you shouting...Yes we can!

The Great Wall Of AfricaCharles Hoots
As our small plane descends toward Al Ayun, the capital of the Western Sahara, I can just make out rings of stone and brush dotting the desert floor. A Sahrawi, as the inhabitants of this region are called, tells me the stone enclosures are built by nomads to protect caches of food and water from foraging animals.
Al Ayun is a fairly big town of perhaps 75,000, but everyone seems to know everyone else, and few ignore the traditional courtesy of inquiring about a friend's health up to a dozen times before proceeding to further conversation.
Yet lurking beneath the surface hospitality of this former Spanish colony is tension between Sahrawis on one hand and Moroccan immigrants and soldiers on the other. In 1975, when Spain withdrew to concentrate on its domestic problems, the Western Sahara was quickly claimed by its neighbors, Morocco and Mauritania, according to a tripartite agreement with Madrid. Morocco occupied the northern two-thirds of the region with soldiers; Mauritania took the far-less-desirable southern third. Neither country took into account "the will of the Sahrawi people," as called for by the Madrid agreement. Morocco also encouraged the emigration of thousands of unemployed Moroccans. Fighting broke out between Moroccan troops and Polisario Front guerrillas declaring independence, and tens of thousands of Sahrawis fled to Algeria, where, more than a decade later, they still live in camps.
Drawing its fighters from the refugees and funded by Algeria (and Libya until 1985), the Polisario staged daring attacks that drained Mauritania's resources. Finally, in 1979, the country relinquished its claims to the region. King Hassan II of Morocco, however, has not.
In the eyes of Moroccan authorities, Sahrawi men and women are automatically suspect, and hundreds accused of sympathizing with the Polisario have languished in prison for years. The Sahrawis are easy to recognize: Their skin is darker than Moroccans', and both sexes wear flowing blue robes with veils for protection against the sun. They also have the noble bearing shared by many nomadic peoples. Although the Sahrawis are Muslims and speak an Arabic dialect, many view Moroccans as foreign colonizers--no better than the Spanish before them--exploiting rich resources of fish and phosphate.
Both Hassan and the Polisario have accepted a U. N. proposal to hold a referendum by February to choose either independence or "official" annexation by Morocco. But most Sahrawis don't trust the King to hold a fair vote or, if he does, to honor the results.
During a six-hour ride in a crowded Peugeot taxi from Al Ayun to Smara, a town of 20,000, one of my six fellow passengers, a young Sahrawi, tells me in Arabic: "You won't find many Sahrawis on the street in Smara." He doesn't elaborate, but later in the afternoon, when the taxi pauses on the nearly deserted road for Muslim prayers--and the Moroccan soldier traveling with us moves out of earshot--he continues: "We are scared. The King is visiting next week, for the first time in more than two years, and Sahrawis are afraid of being arrested to prevent demonstrations. We stay mostly indoors these days."
'MOROCCANIZATION.' King Hassan, who succeeded his father in 1961, is known as a fierce, cunning ruler feared nearly as much by his own people as by the Sahrawis. And his insistence that the "Moroccanization" of the Western Sahara is "an irreversible process" hardly reassures Sahrawis. His claims of sovereignty over the territory are based on 400-year-old links between the kingdom and the Western Sahara's numerous nomadic tribes. But the Polisario say these were merely a series of temporary trade pacts and military alliances.
Sahrawis doubt that Moroccan troop strength in the Western Sahara will be reduced to less than 65,000--as called for by the U. N. referendum plan--before the vote. Many of the current 120,000 troops are stationed on a 1,200-mile wall of sand and stone that Hassan built to protect the Western Sahara's towns and phosphate mines. Polisario guerrillas roam freely in the Mauritanian desert, although their base camps tend to be in Algeria.
Karim, a 25-year-old officer in the Moroccan army, has been stationed at the wall for the past four years. He knows some who have been there since its construction began in 1980. Karim spends months on end gazing east across the dunes that extend almost 3,000 miles to the Red Sea on the other side of the African continent.
Construction of the wall was an incredible feat. For a start, the desert sand didn't pack well, so clay, which had to be imported from the north, was mixed with it. The wall is about 11 feet high with command posts every two miles or so. The concept is ancient but effective. The Polisario have occasionally massed enough fighters in one place to pierce the wall, only to be picked off by air strikes and troops before they could hit any strategic targets inside the region. In fact, despite its medieval appearance, the wall is crammed with U. S.-supplied high-tech gear, including electronic sensors that are said to detect movement up to 12 miles away.
For soldiers along the heavily mined wall, there are moments of terror--as guerrillas mount a mortar attack on one of the many radar stations--followed by weeks of boredom. The desert stillness is broken only by the arrival of a supply convoy or by sandstorms, which can limit visibility to a few feet for days on end. The monotony is crushing, and soldiers are allowed a month of leave for every three months spent along the barrier.
The wall serves as a shield for the country's huge deposits of phosphate, used in fertilizers and detergents. Morocco, the world's biggest phosphate exporter, fears an independent Western Sahara would undercut its position in already depressed markets.
LIP SERVICE. When asked what will happen if the referendum favors independence, a government adviser in Smara smiles. "The Moroccan administration and troops would not hand over the country just like that," he says. "Why should we? We control all the economically useful areas of the Western Sahara. Instead, we would sit down and negotiate with the Polisario." Translation: Morocco would keep the appearance of dialogue without giving up much.
Morocco and the U. S. have long-standing ties that were bolstered by Morocco's participation in the Desert Storm coalition. That friendship could affect what happens in the Western Sahara. Laments one young Sahrawi in a deserted back street of Al Ayun: After the gulf war, "we fear that the U. S will support wjatever the King desires."
So no matter how the referendum turns out, Moroccan rule in the Western Sahara will probably be as enduring as the nomads' stone circles.

A 65-year-old Spokane man has been ordered held in custody on federal charges of illegally possessing automatic weapons and illegally storing explosives in a Bellevue commercial storage shed while agents investigate how he came to possess a huge military-grade arsenal that included grenade launchers, machine guns and plastic explosives.
By Mike Carter
Seattle Times staff reporter
A 65-year-old Spokane man has been ordered held in custody on federal charges of illegally possessing automatic weapons and illegally storing explosives in a Bellevue commercial storage shed while agents investigate how he came to possess a huge military-grade arsenal that included grenade launchers, machine guns and plastic explosives.
Ronald Struve, heavyset and bearded, appeared in Seattle before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Alice Theiler on Tuesday after being extradited from Spokane, where he was arrested Jan. 7 during a raid by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF).
In four searches in Bellevue and Spokane, agents seized 37 machine guns, 12 silencers, two grenade launchers, more than 60 high-explosive grenades, several pounds of military-grade C-4 plastic explosives and thousands of rounds of ammunition.
Most of this material was stored in commercial sheds near businesses and homes, said Assistant U. S. Attorney Thomas Woods.
At a detention hearing set for Friday, Woods said he will present evidence that Struve possessed "anti-government material."
According to a complaint filed earlier this month, Struve "planned to use the items at some uncertain date in the future."
Two law-enforcement sources familiar with the case, but who spoke on condition of anonymity, used the term "Armageddon" to describe what Struve was apparently awaiting in stockpiling the weapons.
Agents have served four search warrants three in Spokane and another in Lynnwood.
The Lynnwood shed was empty; however, agents recovered eight machine guns and additional grenade rounds in a search on a storage shed in Spokane.
The search of the Bellevue storage shed did not require a warrant because agents were given permission by a man who purchased the contents at an auction.
ATF Special Agent Heidi Wallace said much of the recovered ordnance was almost certainly stolen from the military because there is no other place to get it.
Woods said the investigation is continuing and that a grand-jury indictment is possible. So far, agents have questioned at least two others including a man who rented the shed in Bellevue. No other arrests have been made.
Wallace, who was at Struve's court hearing Tuesday, said there was no evidence at this point that Struve was involved in domestic terrorism.
Struve first came to the ATF's attention in November, when the man who had purchased the shed's contents contacted the agency after he found it full of boxes of firearms, shells and other military-style hardware and wanted to know if the weapons were legal to keep.
The bureau sent Wallace to the buyer's garage, where he had stacked the contents from the storage unit. What Wallace found were "many boxes, plastic bins and ammunition containers."
The first box contained what appeared to be several machine guns. Likewise, the second box contained military-type firearms. In the third box, Wallace found "two grenades and other possible explosives."
Other agents were called, and what they found was startling and worrisome.
"In all my years, I've never seen this sort of firepower in one place," said ATF Special Agent Nick Starcevic, the Seattle office's senior operations officer.
One box contained 54 M406 high-explosive grenade rounds 40-millimeter shells that can be launched from a shoulder-fired weapon to distances of 300 yards or more, according to military specification.
Its explosion creates a "kill radius" of up to 16 feet from the point of impact and injuries dozens of yards beyond that.
Agents also found several other anti-personnel grenades, including a Korean War-era "Chicom" stick grenade.
In another box, agents found six blocks of C-4 plastic explosives.
Agents counted 32 apparent machine guns, including M-14s, M-16s, and several "Sten guns," a mass-produced submachine gun known for its high rate of fire upward of 500 rounds per minute.
They also found nine silencers and the parts for several others, as well as thousands of rounds of ammunition and various other military hardware.
"All of the military explosive items seized are considered contraband and cannot be possessed by anyone other than the military," Wallace wrote in a search warrant. "The majority of the items seized appeared to be stolen military explosive materials."
Allright...who was it? Fess up.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
I have to admit I would have been hard pressed and indesisive about reporting what I found. I would have at least made sure that everything would have been looked at at least once. With the current state of affairs it would have been very tempting to store everything somewhere else and keep my mouth shut. I am a collector of weapons, and having access to weapons that I can't buy would be really hard to give them up.
The way that article reads I would not bet a lot on the accuracy of it. It could be a shed full of leftover stuff from a failed airsoft business and the media would write it up like that.
He's smart enough to accumulate all this stuff under wraps with no one in law enforcement getting a hint he was doing this.
But he's not smart and careful enough to pay his storage fees so as to not LOSE everything.
I too wonder how the heck did he acquire much of this?

Quite the collection. It's very bad that he decided to store all this in a populated area, however.
Guess we know where he will be when Armageddon arrives!
Wow... Assuming the article's accurate, that's a lot of ordinance, especially for one guy. I wonder if he's in a group? Heck, if I'm going to join a survivalist group, I want that kind of provisioning!! I'm VERY curious to find out how he managed to acquire all those toys. Should make for quite the story.
Just imagine the looks you'd get as you fired off the first 40mm round at the range!!

i don't think he could use all those weapons by himself. especially the machine guns.

Whether or not it should or shouldn't be against the law, the cache of these types of weapons, many of which are not easily owned legally, suggests that there is way more to this story, and it won't be good stuff. At best, this is a lone-wolf with a few marbles too few upstairs. But, this could be the tip of an iceberg of some sort of serious conspiracy--be it armed robbery or terrorism. Bad stuff, and though it should not reflect on us, it unfortunately does.
