New Delhi gang rape: Who can change the attitude of such men?
By now most of you know that the victim of the New Delhi bus gang rape in India has died. Along with the Indians, a lot of people across the world are still reeling from the shock of the cruelty and utter barbarianism that was meted out to her.
A lot of people are still wondering why…
Let's just remind ourselves what happened to her exactly. On December 16, she, along with her fiancé, was coming back after watching a movie. The couple wanted to go to Dwarka, a place in southwest Delhi when they were tricked into boarding a bus by some men.
What happened then is a tale of truly horrendous proportions.
Six men raped the girl for almost an hour. As if that wasn't enough, they then assaulted her with an iron rod tearing out her intestines. They then threw the girl and her fiancé from the moving bus out onto the road. She was then flown to Singapore where she faced multiple organ failure resulting in her death. A 23-year-old life, snuffed.
Terrible as it is, the pertinent question here is indeed, why?
Sexual violence against women has long been a characteristic of the subcontinent (both India and Pakistan). Men have traditionally held a dominant position in society. When and where their dominance has been challenged or threatened, they have turned to harming innocent women.
At the same time, the people who are supposed to prevent such incidents from taking place (the police and state agencies) are usually controlled and run by men, creating a closed loop of dominance, violence and subjugation.
Because the society as a whole has failed to educate and evolve, the male mindset in India and Pakistan is hard coded into laying the blame squarely on the victim.
In this case, however, the backlash has been strong and unusually robust. The degree of cruelty exhibited has resulted in protests that the government of India has failed to stave off. Any remedial measures will only serve as a band aid – a temporary fix. Even if the six accused are found guilty and hanged, the failed policies and mindset that resulted in this nightmare will continue to chew away at the fabric of society.
So how can change be introduced?
Chemically castrating sex offenders for example, is not going to stop the rape of women.
Hanging culprits might silence the large number of protestors, but it will not end the stressful lives women have to endure in our part of the world.
The dead honest answer is, change will come through education.
We see these heinous crimes take place because as children, these men were never taught to respect women, or told that by defiling women's bodies they do not somehow establish their superiority. If the concepts of right and wrong, of equality of the sexes, of respect, kindness and forgiveness are instilled in children from the get go, then society will gradually begin to change.
Of course, there is the fact that while there is talk of some change taking place in India in response to this abhorrent incident, the same cannot be said for Pakistan where women are buried alive and senators stand in the galleys of the parliament and say that it is our custom and no one has the right to dispute it.
It saddens me immensely that people only raise their voices in the subcontinent after innocent lives have been taken.
In India, it had to be that nameless 23-year-old medical student who was going back home after watching a movie.
In Pakistan currently, it is the 20-year-old Shahzeb Khan who was going to visit his friend.
In both cases, the voices for change came too late, and the mindset that needs to be changed has not been addressed.
How long before the voices die out and we're back to square one?

Have to agree on all what you have said. Especially the bit about change coming about in India but very hard to see that happening in Pakistan. In India the platform has been established a long time ago and is headed in the right direction. Sadly in Pakistan we still have to establish a platform let alone head it in the right direction. People may not like this comment but it is the truth as I see it.Recommend
Rightly said. Education is one of the source reducing such violence and inhuman acts. But it is rather a gradual step. Punishing them in public is the solution as the religion rightly lays down the lines. To some it might be violent but then what they did is humane neither. May the sisters around the world stay protected. Ameen.Recommend
Education along with death for rapists is the answer. We can't wait for an entire generation waiting to see change. Hence education is important for the long run and to bring immediate fear in the minds of SOME rapists atleast there should be death penalty.Recommend
It is hard to digest by india but the reality is that Bollywood is the main reason for such violent acts. Look at the way these rapists have acted, seems like a scene of a bollywood film.Recommend

(Dec. 29, 2012): RAW has used the gang rape of the 23-year old Delhi girl and countrywide outrage to divert attention from my press releases this month about the "Anglo-American enforcement of their ownership of India", from the killing of over ten million Indians in just the ten years after 1857 by the British to enforce their will to the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan to drone attacks on Pakistan to the trafficking of Indian children to be used as food — RAWsTraffickingOfIndianChildrenDOTblogspotDOTcom — and the total possession and rape of India by the Anglo-Americans and their white friends in economic, military and all spheres with CIA's rule over India via RAW that I have described at WhatYouShouldKnowAboutRAWDOTblogspotDOTcom. Like keeping Indians and Pakistanis fighting each other rather than their white oppressors, this is meant to keep Indians focused on rapes of Indians by Indians and not on their incomparably more violent rape and domination by the white countries and all the Indians participating in this RAW-sponsored event are participating in the enforcement of Anglo-American ownership of India, in the rape of India. JoinIndiaWarOfIndependenceDOTblogspotDOTcom
In service of its white masters RAW has committed innumerable terrorist acts in India taking part even in the Mumbai attack of 2008, carried out train accidents killing hundreds in each incident, sabotage of India's defence equipment, spreading AIDS in India to provide the white countries a population of guinea pigs for vaccine development, murders including those of Indira and Rajiv Gandhi, etc., etc. The minor who has been arrested at first was reported to have assaulted only the victim's male friend but not taken part in the rape but later was assigned the responsibility for, by himself, having mutilated her intestines and other internal organs with an iron rod, because a minor can get away with confinement in a juvenile facility for a couple of years no matter what the crime. These may have been RAW operatives who committed the crime. There were no reports of the serious injuries to the victim's internal organs until about two days after she had been admitted to the hospital. The injuries to her internal organs may have been inflicted on her by a member of the hospital staff at RAW's behest, even under the pretext of doing surgery, or by a RAW operative who gained access to her after she had been admitted to the hospital.
(Dec. 31, 2012) A surgeon named Shiv Shankar Sastry in Bangalore on the defence board Bharat-RakshakDOTcom using the handle "shiv" who is a RAW operative directed the mutilation of the above victim. An Indian physician who uses the handle "gakakkad" on Bharat-Rakshak and was apparently doing a fellowship in cardiology in the United States until recently works for CIA-RAW and participated in the above crime. Documentation of K. Subrahmanyam coming on line, along with the CIA Director Michael Hayden, on August 9, 2008 and offering to transfer one crore rupees into my bank account within 48 hours if I agreed to work for the CIA — which shows Indian governments, in the present and in the past, to be proxies for the CIA — can be seen via HaydenSubrahmanyamDOTblogspotDOTcom .

Dear Brothers and sisters,
Please pause for a while…..
A humanitarian response from the follower of the Prophet of Humanity, do read it for a thoughful insight on this mind burning issue.
Name one bollywood movie past or present where you watched a scene similar to the Delhi incident.
Please, stop being naive. You are as simplistic as @AA.
He thinks films are the problem. You think tougher laws will solve the problem.
Who will draft these laws you have in mind? Law makers in Parliament. Who will elect them? 'Us'. Then who will act upon those laws? The police and the judiciary. Where do they come from? From within 'Us'.And finally, the rapists do not come from another planet, they are very much among 'Us'. Makers of the law, custodians of the law and subjects of the law, all cohabit within the same milieu. Fixing the blame on any one of them will not fix the problem. Actually the existing laws are tight enough to tackle this menace, problem is in its implementation. System is corrupt because we love short cuts and ready to pay for it. The point is, we need to change ourselves. First, we admit that there is a problem with us and second, we take responisibilty. Blaming the law and the police is lazy.
Bottom line is, *rape happens because men rape. * Not because the politicians promote it or police and courts are indifferent. No one ever raped anyone on the strength of a permit issued by the authorities. Recommend
Brilliant read. Education and harsh justice are the two ways forward for the sub-continent. Empowering women is a must for any nation looking to progress and be prosperous.

@Cynical: agree with you that problem exist with in us.But current law is highly incompetent with many flaws.First of all rape is not a non bailable offense.So within a day or two after rape accuse comes out.It takes 10yrs or even more to serve the justice.After such a long period of time victim herself wants to forget the heinous crime committed on her.If you see the last yr data out of 600 cases only one case was solved and the conviction was awarded..Worst happened when our president pratibha patil pardoned death penalty awarded to 5 men found guilty of rape and murder.Would you believe this? existing system encourages rape of a woman.Police harass and discourage victims in indifferent way so that they wont register the case.Police themselves do the rape.Whole system is messy coz of the involvement of politics.There is a need of immediate shift of power to judiciary.Rape should be made the non bailable offense and conviction should be awarded with in three month as proposed.Goons r in every part of the world.Even developed western countries r not spared off.But they have strong law to deal with crimes like rape and molestation.we r also demanding that.Recommend
Such Brutality existed long before Bollywood did and will unfortunately continue onwards. Blaming the entertainment industry or 'western culture as many do is in essence useless, and inaccurate. Disrespect of women and human life in general is NOT simply a western issue or something people learn from the movies. As others and the author have said; education is the way to counter that.

They should make sure that the culprits involved in this heinous act are punished and punished grossly.

Fortunately for them, its not upto me but it is upto the Indian Youth to demand and get justice for the victim.

Really an asshmed Incident has had happened in New Dehli that is really horrible and frightened to me to know about the victim. in my opinion it is the failure of law in both countries India and Pakistan that the man behaviour with woman is regardless and there is no repect of woman in both these countries. There must be rule of law and the law enforcing agencies should do some positive acts like in other countries and also the Parliament of both the countries must make such Laws which gives the lesson to the rapists what so ever and who so ever in my opinion the rapiests are most dangerous then any criminal and there must be death punishment for that crime like in case of death with weapon as defined in section 302 of Indian Penal Code and Pakistan Penal Code.
In the end I must say that it is really shamefull act and the actual culprits must hang till death but not the innocent who did not done such act as in these countries the actual culprits are move freely and the inncoent are hang over in different cases as the police did not caught the actual culprits and arrested some other persons to ans the public and Govt.Recommend

Stop making scapegoats of Bollywood/Hollywood western influence. Bollywood is a reflection of our mindset. The mindset is the problem not Bollywood. Saying that Bollywood objectifies women is like saying that tail wags the dog.
We have always been objectifying women.Mujras used to happen much before Bollywood. Women were treated as sex objects by the feudal lords much before Bollywood came into existence. A number of vulgar songs were being sung at rural gatherings much before Bollywood stole them and adapted to Bollywood.
Teach your sons to respect women and stop trying to find excuses when they misbehave.Recommend
Understandably. I too get furious at such ridiculous comments! Proves there is no shortage of misinformed idiots. Recommend
@Midhat: I disagree with you. Media follows he society's value of objectifying women and is not the cause for it. If it were, there would have been no rapes before Bollywood. Also unclear which are the progressive societies you are thinking of where women are not objectified – were you thinking of Saudi Arabaia? BEcause most Western countries do have advertisements which use sexy women to sell products.
If KSA is your role model, I as an Indian have to say, keep your role model we do not want such role models.
Yes rape is a heinous crime and an all round effort (including change in social mindset, better policing, laws and prosecution) needs to be made to reduce its occurrence and when it occurs ensure that the victim does not suffer but rather the tormentor is made to suffer.Recommend
The society needs to change and bollywood will change by itself. The media will never dare show something that is unacceptable by the society.
A recent example- Honey Singh's concert got cancelled due to the vulgar lyrics. Till a few days back these very same lyrics were deemed acceptable enough that the organisers planned a concert. After the rape incident now the society finds the lyrics unacceptable and hence the concert has been cancelled. Even bollywood producers have asked him to be banned due to the vulgarity in his songs.
Hence the society has the power to make a change. The mindset needs to change and the media will follow. Recommend

Shameful incident. The culture of treating women as objects has to change.
Delhi and surrounding states have woefully low male-female ratio and this also contributes to the objectification of women.
In states where there are more women or a healthier percentage of women – like in Kerala or Karnataka – there is less misogyny.
Education is the ultimate answer, yes, but a liberal, open, secular education is the key. Recommend
There cannot be just ONE cause for this heinous crime. The evils of rape have stemmed from various roots. To say that bollywood is the DIRECT cause is stretching it abit too much. While I agree that objectifying women as sex symbols and cashing in on that has been projected for way too long and way too many times, other factors must not also be ignored. Male domination is a classic characteristic of India & Pakistan. Biological drive for sex and pleasure (legit or otherwise), social fabric of the families, lack of education and awareness, lack of CONSCIENCE, lack of fear of prosecution, the list goes on and on. Honestly, education and only education is the way out, which, if coupled with law enforcement AND implementation, may yield faster results. The fact that cases like this are now being discussed/debated in such forums and peaceful protests are being carried out by the youth is an indication that the tides of change have begun. Recommend
@Nitish: it is not mentioned anywhere in the article that, india is not a secular nation. It is a secular nation. And it has been and will be a secular nations. But, if the security of women folk is in danger, and if someone has a solution, then what is the problem in adopting that.
The demand of Youth in New Delhi (death to the criminals) is the command of the creator. And as a matter of justification it is been said in the article that, Islam says the same, which is the code of human safety and prosperity.
Pls have a look on this

No where in the article it is trying to give a religious flavor. And it not intended too, the point here is be a open minded person and try to get real knowledge based information rather than outer and incomplete information.
Pls read it again don't judge quickly.
How does protesting against the culture of objectification of women make me an orthodox, or against women's freedom. The idea of gross potrayal of women as sex objects to get male attention is regressive and not the other way around. Bollywood has done well even without it. Having said that I dont blame bollywood as the reason for RAPE! but I agree with "Yogurt lover" that media has a lot of contribution in influencing, educating or curroupting our mindsets. And while every segment of the society should go for corrective measures, media should also take some responsibilty and contribute in educating people!
@Gratgy: Media has evolved a lot.hopefully it does further in the right direction!
Sir, why are you singling out a country here which has no relevance to the post? Saudia Arabia was not responsible for making Dehli as the rape capital of the world! and when did I say KSA was my model?

@Indian: Please do not use a horrendous rape incident to proselytize your religion.Recommend
The points you make seem technically correct. Rape existed long before Bollywood. But you can look at it from another angle. As you try to change human behavior through education, Bollywood may be sending the wrong message that this is all normal behavior, don't try to control your hormones. This would counteract the progress in education during the last decades. Although many normal people may not be affected by the sex and violence so endemic in Bollywood, it seems reasonable to think that the not so normal people (and there are so many of them) would be instigated to commit these type of heinous acts in Bollywood style. So this may be one step forward in education and two steps backward. I have personally seen lewd behavior in many youths influenced by Bollywood.
One example. I once got off a bus in Amdavad to get some paper signed at a police station and there was a teen age girl being teased/harassed by a young men singing some lewd Bollywood song into the girls ears. The girl was scared stiff. Fortunately there was a stout head of the police department who was watching this show. He dragged that guy by his ear into the police office and gave him a thrashing that he deserved and I was watching it. There was a lot of amusing verbal exchange between the guy and the police head but I will not go into that detail.Yes stopping Bollywood will not solve problems by itself but it will make educational progress very difficult. Educating is people is good thing but it is very difficult to achieve. How do you decide who is going to educate who when there are so many deviants in the society at all levels.Recommend
The call for education seems like a good one because education in itself is a good thing. But it is not likely to be achieved anytime soon by a democratic process. An autocratic process is not acceptable and it may implement wrong values under a wrong leadership.
The basic problem is how do you educate 1.2 billion people and decide who needs education and who should be educating. We have not even succeeded in keeping much of our governing apparatus free of corruption and misdeeds by the very people entrusted to take care of that. Even in more developed societies this is a difficult thing to do because of public apathy,the profit motive of the educators and countervailing effects of the pornography, gambling, prostitution, entertainment, firearms industries. People don't even agree on what is good and bad under the brainwashing done by vested interests. Recommend
@Midhat: "@gp65:
Sir, why are you singling out a country here which has no relevance to the post? "
You are the one that said that in advanced societies women are not objectified. Since this objectification certainly exists in US and Western Europe, I wanted to guess who you meant when you were referring to advanced societies.
Certainly I am horrified by this incident and in general unhappy with the inadequate empowerment of women in my country – India. More so because I am a woman myself. I would not have brought another country into the discussion. But it was in fact you who brought other countries in not me. I simply responded to you.Recommend
Education is necessary however the education system needs to evolve to incorporate social and moral and maybe a bit of sex education too. I studied in a boys school in Delhi and we had sex education in a very mature way in class 11 and 12 (around 15 years back). We did not understand the importance then, but now I do.
We even had a lecture by one of the teachers husbands (who was a nuclear physicist by the way) on AIDS which was a new disease then. I remember one sentence he said.
"It is the responsibility of Us men to stand up for our women.."
Mere education for the sake of scoring marks is simply not enoughRecommend
@Gratgy: I do not believe that education can solve the problem. In US illiteracy is almost non-existent and age appropriate sex education the norm. Rapes still happen. It is the societal values that need to change. SOme of the changes needed to reduce rape (it can never be eliminated) are:
Zero tolerance in society for acts of violence against women (which rape certainly is) regardless of the position of the person criminal or victim. In our subcontinent VIP culture, all too often well heeled people escape punishment. Also if the rape victim happens to not be either elite or part of some special interest group, her story will be unheard. Would a case like Dominique Strauss-Kahn be treated the same way in our subcontinent as it was in USA? HEck we do not even dare to call daily occurrences of sexual harassment by its proper name and use terms like eve teasing which makes it seem so harmless because you know 'boys will be boys'.
The other aspect is the treatment of rape victim in our society. Far too many people blame the victim and think that she has brought shame and dishonour to the family and hence the rapes are not reported. The family would worry not just that the girl herself may never get a suitor but that her sisters too may never find a match if news about the rape gets out.This has to change.
The notion that 'Westernised women' are asking for it and only modest women have a right to expect or talk about dignity also is widely prevalent or else Abhijit Mukherjee would not have said what he did. Thank God for the outrage that followed.
Finally the police and prosecution need better training to handle such cases.
There is also a larger issue of pendency in our courts which needs to be resolved since it allows all manner of criminals not just rapists to have confidence that they can delay punishment not by a week, month or year but decades – if not evade it all together using dilatory tactics.
The social changes we need can only happen through open discussion and debate of the kind that we are witnessing now. It needs to happen in media and families and among friends. The silence has to be broken.This needs to be ongoing over a period of time and not limited to the 24 hour news cycle. I am heartened by the anger and dialog this case has generated. I hope it does not dissipate too soon.Recommend
This is what it is not being understood. I am not trying to proselytize my religion.
Do look over internet about Madurai Adheenam, suggesting to adopt purdah. So, what is he trying to say. If it is taken in a narrow sense (as this one), then it is a very big statement, which means all of Indian women become Muslims. But obviously he doesnt mean that.
Then what does he mean. He means to adop the modesty as in Islam, and also he is in a sense pointing towards the de-"sex"-izing the atmosphere which is done through bollywood, hollywod, all those rubbish woods, and also through the worst from of human Degradation "the pornographic industry". and like wise…. which is casuing a craze in the adultrated men to go for this horrific crime. So, keep a limit on this.
This is what, it is being trying to convey. Islam is an humanitarian religion (it is being mis interpretted with false representations and accusations, so it the mistake of any observer to make any impression based on that). As our great indian culture is in threat, we are attesting that this is why Islamic principles are for. To keep humans as humans.
So, dont try to make any impressions, or ideology and get frustrated about Islam based on incomplete, wrong and unauthoritative representations of ISLAM which are being promoted only for humanity not to benifit from it (Again, please Benifitting from Islam, it doesnt mean to become muslims). Please be open minded and honest is studying ISLAM and then judge it.Recommend
I agree education will not solve the problem, Education is just one tool to change the attitude of the society. To prevent crimes however, we need deterrence. Zero tolerance is a must for all types of sexual misbehaviour right from "eve teasing". An eve teaser today could graduate into a rapist tomorrow. There is no place for any kind of sexual harassment in any society.
The reason why the victim is blamed is because we were afraid to fight for her and it is easy to reason that she somehow "deserved" it. But now when the society is ready to stand up for the victim, we no longer need to hide behind this excuse
When I see the change in the society, which has always mutely accepted crimes as "yeh to hota rehta hai" to a society that feels for the victim and is ready to fight for justice, I see hope. What we need is the surety of punishment rather than the severity of the punishment. What is the point in having a death penalty when no one gets convicted?
Its an uphill task but a lot has been achieved in last few days. We still have a long way to go (VIP culture, legal procedures etc).
A war is won, one battle at a time.Recommend
@Indian7: Sorry the notion that the woman needs to be modest to avoid rape is unacceptable at least in India. This amounts to blaming the victim. Secondly, I do not think I have bad mouthed Islam even once based on complete or incomplete information. But I have no desire or need to explore it since my faith gives me what I need. Just as I am not asking you to explore Hinduism because Islam may already give you what you need. When you are asking me to consider the teachings of Islam, you are in fact proselytizing. As long as I am not interfering in your faith, you should not interfere in mine. I will repeat that using a heinous rape to proselytyse is not OK.
@Gratgy : I saw your response to my post I feel we are on the same page. I think the most significant statement you made is that surety of punishment is more important than severity of punishment in the statute books. So true.Recommend

The question asked is who can change the attitude of these men is if they want to rape women The answer is sinple the society, the parents , the social norms, and strict laws and their implmentation in letter and spirit. The parents training is the major factor in such men's attitude that causes this type of insensetive behavior
This brutal incident has exposed the Indian socity to the world, This naked aggressuon is unacceptable The governmet should provide safety and security to the women who are at great peril outside of home The sex crime can be stopped by ounishment and society's stand against such criminals
SEx is a great problem in closed society where it is considered a taboo to even talk about it. There are no out leys available to these se crazed persons who desire sex all the time,

The author makes a strange comparison. A gang rape agaist a woman in India versus the killing of a man in Pakistan to protect the honour of a woman? 93, 000 pening rape cases in India which represent 10% of the cases reported, 90% unreported victims. Hindustan woman reporter comes on France 24 cable network and complains about Hindu God which degrades the status of a women and want women to be burnt alive with their husbands, whereas the Indian democracy which gives equal rights to men and women.

Gang rapes happen in every country and society. If they happen in India, they also happen in Pakistan http://rt.com/news/pakistan-girl-raped-kidnapped-409/ because every society has some horrible people. IT is what happens after that, which determines how the society thinks. Please read the last paragraph of this OpEd by Anwer Mooraj http://tribune.com.pk/story/489472/hang-on–were-in-for-another-tsunami/
" 93, 000 pening rape cases in India which represent 10% of the cases reported, 90% unreported victims".
Where are you getting the number of 90% of rapes are unreported? Though undoubtedly there is a level of underreporting in our subcontinent due to perceived honour'. But rest assured the underreporting is likely to be much more in a country where 4 male witnesses are required to report rape or else the poor woman is thrown in jail for committing zina. The purpose of protests in India is to change the societal norms so that instead of the woman being ashamed, it is the man who needs to feel ashamed thereby driving up the number of women who feel comfortable reporting rape incidents.. Also India has a 30% conviction rate for rapes which is low and Indians are demanding the necessary changes in law and proscution methods to improve this rate. But this rate is much better than the prevailing 1% rate in Pakistan. So instead of gloating over a heinous crime in India, please focus on improving things for women in your country. We will leverage our democracy and the voice it gives us to make things better.
" Hindustan woman reporter comes on France 24 cable network and complains about Hindu God which degrades the status of a women and want women to be burnt alive with their husbands, whereas the Indian democracy which gives equal rights to men and women".
Please provide url. Anyway, it is unclear what this reporter was complaining about – the fact that the law gives equal rights to men and women or the practice of sati? If she was complaining about the practice of sati, you should know that there have been no instances of sati in India in the last 32 years. This heinous practice was a social corruption and certainly not something prescribed in Bhagvad Geeta or something that any Hindu God ordered. You are saying factually incorrect nasty things about a religion you simply do not understand. Oh and by the way, my country is called India or Bharat.
"There is a conflict of Hinduism with the laws of the secular India".
First of all I am not aware of any such conflict as a Hindu. But if there is any conflict, it is the law of the land which will prevail – which is as it should be. Surely you do not think that is a bad thing?Recommend

Gang Rape of women has been carrie out byb the sadists to seek and satisfy their instinct to torture help less victim. The parents are responsible for their chilren's behavior at least if not responsible for the act. they act in consort as they are afraid. They enjoy the crime and have no regrets.
If some one does the same to them , how would they feel. Perhaps they will commit suicide,They are parasites and worms and a burden for the society. They must be given maximum punishment for the crime. No leniency be afforded to them. They must be locked in the solitary confinement to rot for the rest of their lives.Recommend

text:
thanks to John Hunt for drafting this.
Last week, judge Caroline Swift rejected BAA's application for an unprecedented injunction against five million people, and substituted her own wording, to allow lawful protest, as safeguarded by the European Convention on Human Rights under Article 10 [the right to freedom of expression, including imparting information and ideas without interference by public authority] and Article 11 [the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and to freedom of association with others].
Opposition to expansion at Heathrow has grown since the Terminal Five public enquiry ten years ago where, of the 50 major parties giving evidence, over 95% opposed T5. At the end of the enquiry, inspector Roy Vandermeer found that a third runway would be "totally unacceptable". He imposed a cap of 480,000 flight movements a year: yet we already have 471,000, though T5 is not scheduled to open until March.
Last December, a cross-party alliance of twelve boroughs, concerned "that the Government consistently fails to either acknowledge or assess the airport's full environmental impact", launched the "2M Group". The group "believes that the Government and the industry consistently overstate the economic benefits of aviation and fail to measure the full environmental costs"; has called on the Government "to commission an independent cost-benefit analysis for all expansion proposals"; and cannot comprehend that the Government will "allow for a doubling of carbon emissions from domestic aviation by 2050 while expecting all other sectors to reduce their emissions".
In February, a report by the Parliamentary Transport Committee condemned the Department for Transport for failing against its own targets, including for air quality and carbon dioxide emissions. Committee Chairman Gwyneth Dunwoody painted "a terrible picture of failure", exposing the DfT for lacking a clear strategy and a timetable of policies which are necessary to bring improvements. The Committee found that transport is the only sector of the economy in which greenhouse gas emissions have been rising consistently since 1990 and are projected to carry on rising, and cited a COMEAP estimate that respiratory disorders associated with particulates are responsible for 8,100 additional deaths and 10,500 additional hospital admissions in the UK each year.
Frustrated local residents, having lost faith in consultations after repeated Government lies about Heathrow expansion, mounted protests earlier this year: on 6th March at Chatham House, where the Secretary of State for Transport addressed aviation heads of industry; and on 20th June with street theatre at the Department for Transport, demonstrating how the DfT are cosily in bed with BAA.
Now Heathrow's "Camp against Climate Change" has come to Sipson: one of the villages between the A4 and the M4 which BAA and the Department for Transport are intent upon destroying, in order to build a Third Runway and Terminal Six. The Camp, from 14th - 21st August, is described as "a working ecological village using renewable energy, composting waste and sourcing food locally". Its programme for the week [available at www.climatecamp.org.uk/wshops.pdf] lists over 100 workshops and other events, with speakers from many environmental organisations, including --perhaps unexpectedly-- the "Islamic Foundation for Ecology and Environmental Sciences" and Christian Aid.
Alarmingly, Saturday's "Guardian" reports that the government has encouraged police forces to make greater use of terrorism powers "especially the use of stop and search powers under s44 Terrorism Act 2000", and that last month a student cycling near the airport was arrested and held for 30 hours without charge. Then on Sunday, after the camp site --a sports ground owned by Imperial College-- was occupied, it was reported that police had closed a public road and were obstructing access to the site to local residents donating goods.
Recent coverage by national press has quoted some of the residents whose villages would be demolished by the proposed third runway, understandably "100% against the proposed third runway and further airport expansion". One resident whose daughter died from the air pollution supports the camp completely: though, amazingly, others are reportedly opposed to direct action. Do they think, after years of Government lies and sham consultations, that they have any other means of saving their homes?
The judge who last week rejected BAA's application accepted the Wikipedia definition of direct action: "a form of political activism which seeks immediate remedy for perceived ills, as opposed to indirect actions such as electing representatives who promise to provide remedy at some later date. ... [They] are often (but not always) a form of civil disobedience ... demonstrations are not illegal (in most constitutional democracies). ...", [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_action].
As members of the Green Party, we "do not believe that there is only one way to change society, ... [and] generally support those who use reasonable and non-violent forms of direct action to further just aims", [GP "Manifesto for a Sustainable Society", PB501: see http://policy.greenparty.org.uk/mfss/]. We will attend the Camp this week, and expect to participate in the "Mass Action" event on Sunday, 19th. We are appalled at the report of police use of anti-terrorism powers to deter peaceful protest, and will document and pursue any instances of this that we encounter.
In the meantime, we welcome Climate Campers to Heathrow, in the hope and expectation that the week will be informative and beneficial to all who are involved.

James Page, Twickenham;

How the celebs are getting into the Christmas spirit
Christmas is a special time of year in every household, not withstanding the mansions of celebrities. Here's a sneak peak into how the stars are celebrating this year as shared by them on social media.
Peaches Geldof has the right idea this Christmas! Wrap your baby in tinsel and voila your decorations are done. How adorable does seven-month-old Astala look? I bet Santa is kind to him this year. I remember our first Christmas as parents. It was so special, it makes you feel like a kid all over again!
Meanwhile over at Hilary Duff's house, her little boy Luca, eight months, is getting a very unique gift for his first Christmas. The poor little man is teething at the moment but Hilary chose to look on the positive and tweeted…
I hope they come through before Santa's visit because there's nothing worse than not feeling the best at Christmas time.
The most interesting Christmas story this week is Tori Spelling's train ride with her son Liam to cut down their own Christmas tree from the Christmas tree farm. I still can't quite work out how they were bringing the tree home? It sure would be a funny sight carrying a huge tree back on the train!

Andrei Kirilenko is retiring from the Russian national team for family reasons.
"I was thinking in summertime I don't have enough time with my kids," he said. "My wife and kids, I want to be around them. I don't want to be dad who's spending two hours and then you don't see your kids. It's a hard decision.
"It's kind of a dilemma: Going around the globe, playing basketball, have fun or spend your time with your kids and have fun and see how they're growing. You want to be around them at this kind of age when they're growing, they start playing hockey, start playing basketball. You want to see the improvement, not only in sports but the person.
"It's a tough decision but sooner or later, it's going to happen. We had the generation of (Sergei) Belov, (Arvydas) Sabonis, then the next generation and now the next generation."
Kirilenko led Russia to a bronze medal finish at the 2012 Olympics.

Date: June 12, 2013 10:31:28 PM EDT
Subject: Re: Summer Shakespeare
I would be happy to hold up the Sydney end of the reporting on/reviewing summer Shakespeare festivals, as long as no one will be too disorientated by the fact that summer means December - February here. Or too depressed by the fact that we don't really have a summer Shakespeare festival. What we have is about three different co-op groups who do one or two outdoor shows somewhere between November and March, in different parts of the city, with no cohesiveness and very little professional profile.

[Editor's Note: It is not that I did not think of my colleagues in the Southern Hemisphere, it is just that at the time I did not know how to handle their Shakespeare festivals. Now I think I know how to see below. –Hardy]

Subject: Summer Shakespeare Plays and Festivals List
Dear SHAKSPEReans,
Now we have a starting place for listings of summer Shakespeare festivals and plays from the list that I posted the other day.
I have already gotten one addition which I have added both to the copy in Current Postings and to the one in Announcements.
I welcome any corrections or additions to the list.
I have been trying to get a tab under Scholarly Resources under the main Scholarly Resources section in the drop-down menu. When I figure this out I will announce it.
For now you may find the list by scrolling through the Announcements or Current Postings sections, in the archive under June 2013, or by holding your pointing device over the Scholarly resources tab and clicking directly on it and not on one of the drop-down items. By so doing you will get the page that is a sort of table of contents for Scholarly Resources. At the very bottom of this list is a link to the Summer Shakespeare Plays and Festivals list.
Every time that I get an addition or correction, I will send the updated list to the Announcements section.
Let us not forget that although the list is useful as it is, it also serves as a way to generate reviews/accounts for SHAKSPER and for ISE Chornicle.

Unless you live in a Baja bungalow, your daily driver is not a dedicated off-roader you can tinker with to your heart's content.

Grille arrived a few days after I placed the order. Instructions were straight forward and easy to follow. Easy to install but would be very helpful if you had at least two more people. Cutting of existing grille is required which is the only downside.

Excellent product, looks great! A little adjustments to get a perfect flush fit. Two of the bolts wouldn't work as they seemed to be metric instead of standard...had to make a trip to store to get something equivalent since I didn't have time to contact the company over a few bucks in hardware... All in all...I'm satisfied!

Here's a movie you should consider seeing: Once. It's an independent film made for $160,000, and yet it is better than many films costing 100 times more. It is not an incredible film, but it has a soul. It tells a simple but moving message of the power of music. To briefly summarize the film, [Read More…]

A quick turn at a small stand of banana palms and cassava plants led us to a clearing and, then, back centuries.
Sometimes the attacks happen on their way to and from the market or their cassava fields.
When a friend had potato greens for lunch, I traded her some of my cassava leaves.
Meat they hardly touch; rice, maize, curcur, millet and cassava are their ordinary food.
The ground-nuts and cassava hold their own against the grasses for years.
I searched a long time for the cassava root, which I knew the Indians in that climate made their bread of, but all in vain.
They brought us cassava and fruit, these Indians; they swarmed about us in their canoes.
The manioc root, of which cassava bread is made, also grows abundantly here, and basket work is rather an important industry too.
"Then let her give us some cassava," and lighted a fresh cigar.
The German traveler Humboldt drank it from the shell of a calabash, and the natives dip their bread of maize or cassava in it.
1560s, from French cassave, Spanish casabe, or Portuguese cassave, from Taino (Haiti) caçabi. Earlier in English as cazabbi (1550s).

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
As technology expands, so do our entertainment options. But the more things change, the more they stay the same. Radio has made a resurgence as a niche entertainment source. North Texas is home to the sixth-largest GLBT (gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender) community in the country, and Dallas now boasts its first and only station representing the gay community. Don't bother trying to tune it in on your radio dial; the station can be heard only online or on HD radio. The channel's options include 24/7 streaming music, music on demand, news, gossip, videos and all things pop culture and entertainment-related. Special programs include New York-based "Ryan and Caroline" (called radio's "Will & Grace"), who feature listener stories, movie reviews, travel, style and health spots, and dish about the latest dirt with celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. Dallas favorite Jen Austin is the local source. There's even a Hunk of the Day and Babe of the Day. Pride Radio is on loud and proud.
Call us lame, but we've gotten to the point where we sometimes enjoy a Good Records in-store a lot more than a club show. No smoke, no late nights, no cover charge, no drive to Denton, no drunken sound guys with a bass fetish. It's all of the fun without the majority of the hassles. And guess what? When you watch a show with a bunch of record nerds and bloggers, people actually seem to listen, which is really what it's all about. So grab a six-pack and stop in the next time there's a band playing. They'll probably be good. And if they're not, just remember, it was free and there's always the parking lot.
Soon the formerly conservative Rod Dreher will find himself to the left of our very own Jim Schutze. Dreher's leftward lurch began when he came out of the closet as an environmentalist. Then he penned a column admitting that his support for the invasion of Iraq was a total mistake. He would later announce his opposition to capital punishment. Finally, he wrote that he has problems with, well, capitalism and big business. At this rate, in a year or so, Dreher will write in favor of unionizing welfare recipients. For sure, there have been times when Dreher's evolution (our word) has been hard to watch, like seeing a college freshman change his stripes midway through his first political science class. But Dreher's honesty and insight always manage to shine through the awkwardness of his revelations. Here's the sound of our left hand clapping.
Public Trust owner/director Brian Gibb moved from Denton to a space on Commerce Street in 2006 and people crammed the joint, spilling out of the door and onto the asphalt. The Public Trust makes art a party and everyone's invited. Over the course of the last year, and through a transition from Art Prostitute into the Public Trust, the gallery has showcased impressively diverse exhibitions featuring local and national artists. We've seen skateboard art, simple drawings, tiny art, giant art, group shows, mad paintings, stuffed objects, photographs and more. And we're willing to bet those gallery peeps had fun through every show, which is part of what makes TPT a place you truly want to be. Their receptions are as friendly as house parties, often with crazy-good DJs and a little hooch to boot. The price of the work is friendly to the budget-minded and the well-heeled, just like the gallery itself.
There's no shame in diggin' on a little Starland Vocal Band or some Supertramp. Don't feel bad if you truly love Judy Collins. There's a place for you where people understand. That place is in Mesquite and it's a radio station with high school kids for DJs who probably have no idea whom they're playing. We'll give them the benefit of the doubt because they crank out the '70s Top 40 as if wool dickeys and macramé owls were back in style. With Robert Bass in the music director's chair, the station offers all the best from the age of super-sappy love songs. Jim Croce and Ambrosia never had it so good, even back before they had songs on albums that weren't Time/Life collections.
On September 13, former Dallas Morning News TV critic Ed Bark posted to his Web site, which he calls a blog, a handful of wonderful photos of Mark Cuban sweating his ass off and making his "O" face whilst rehearsing for ABC's Dancing With the Stars. Man looked like he was going to have a heart attack; we're not sure he'd make it through a single episode of Crawling With the Stars. Ed got the snaps and the interviews with the Mavs owner because Ed's got clout and chops from two-plus decades at Dallas' Only Daily, where he accrued the rep as "the dean of American TV critics," as Kansas City Star's Aaron Barnhart wrote of Bark when he took Belo's buyout one year ago. We'll admit we're not as enamored of Uncle Barky's obsession with local TV news ratings as we should be, but Ed's coverage of local TV news goings on has been invaluable: He's the one who kept us informed of the doings at KTVT-Channel 11 during the Regent Ducas era; he watched Anchorwoman when no one else wanted to; and he still goes to Los Angeles on his own dime to cover the fall and spring season previews, since The Dallas Morning News is still too cheap and short-sighted to employ a freaking TV critic. He's providing content about content. At least Ed's still bringing something to the table, which is more than most of us can say in the crowded but somehow always lonely blogosphere.

I deceided to get a new car, and I am satisfied with the Radio and Bluetooth that came with it. So now, I must sell this unit. Comes with everything except cd (not sure where it is) manual. It can be downloaded off pioneers website, Radio is in very good condition. Couple light (not deep) scratches on the face. I assume its from taking it off/on all the time. All you need for the ipod is the USB cable that came with the ipod, or you can buy a pioneer version from them. I just used the Apple supplied one. Worked really well with a New nano and my iPod Touch. BT worked well with my Motorola Pebl and Samsung Blackjack 2 Callers had no issue hearing me, but mic placement is important. The pioneer wire harness is still conected to a GM wire Harness. If you dont have a GM, you can cut it off and add your own. I will also include the antenna adapted I needed for my GM as well. If you happen to own a 2000 malibu, I have a dash kit for ya!! $225 Shipped to you in the lower 48 Paypal verified member and plenty of feedback.

Pioneer's DEH-P7000BT CD receiver sports built-in Bluetooth capability for the safety and convenience of hands-free calling, along with all the audio goodies you expect from Pioneer. When you're not on a call, you'll appreciate the variety of musical options this receiver offers. It plays MP3, WMA, and AAC files on disc, controls a satellite radio tuner, and features a USB input, built-in iPod® controls, and a rear auxiliary input. The Sound Retriever feature livens up flat-sounding music files by restoring information lost in compression, and the 3-band equalizer lets you zero in on the perfect tonal balance for your music by adjusting both output levels and frequencies. Read More Pioneer's elegantly designed Rotary Commander interface allows you to find your favorite songs or change system settings with a touch of a button and a twist of the large control knob.

It's been a long time coming, but finally we've got some new music from Hilary Duff. Duff's new single, "Chasing the Sun" won't officially be released until tomorrow, but this is 2014 so obviously it's leaked online.
If "Chasing the Sun" sounds to you like it belongs on a Colbie Caillat album somewhere, there's good reason. The song was written by her, as well as Jason Reeves and Toby Gad. "Chasing the Sun" will be released on iTunes tomorrow, the same day the song's official music video premieres.

Slow start to LORDA syrup production
LANSDOWNE – Jim Crawford holds out a cup filled with a clear liquid. It doesn't look like much – in fact it just looks like water.
PICTOU – Only one witness testified Friday in the first-degree murder trial of Christopher Falconer, but she had plenty to say.
Sgt. Darlene MacEachern of the RCMP's identification unit took the witness stand early Friday morning to speak about the physical evidence she collected during the Amber Kirwan missing person and homicide investigation two years ago.
Falconer is charged with the first-degree murder in relation to the death of 19-year-old Kirwan who went missing Oct. 9, 2011. Her remains were found in Heathbell on Nov. 5.
MacEachern said she first became involved in the Kirwan investigation when she was notified on Oct. 15 by a co-worker that clothing and earrings were found in Heathbell. She didn't attend the scene, but kept in contact with the officer involved in the collection of these items.
On Oct. 16, MacEachern said she assisted the identification unit in the seizure of Mason Campbell's red Ford focus. She looked at the exterior of the vehicle and examined it for fingerprints or "anything different on the vehicle."
She told the Crown that she didn't' find anything of significance in the car, but under cross-examination by defence lawyer Mike Taylor, she acknowledged some of the items in the car would have been significant in the investigation if it was seized after Kirwan's remains were found.
For example, Taylor said a roll of duct tape in the vehicle was processed, but he questioned if more attention would have been given to it after the body was found. She agreed that timing of seizing the car probably made a difference on how items were processed.
Taylor asked her to list other items found in Campbell's car that included an open car kit, clothing, shoes, booster cable, water bottle, DVD player, video gaming machine and controller, car parts, duct tape and packing tape. She said a small portable shovel was also in the trunk of the vehicle that had some mud and leaves on it.
She said there was dust and mud on the outside of the car and she made a note that some of that dirt was missing because of marks that extended from front to back that could have been made by tree branches.
Following her analysis of the Ford Focus, MacEachern became involved again in the Kirwan investigation on Nov. 4, when she was called to the New Glasgow Police Department to make arrangements for a search in a wooded area in Heathbell Road the next day.
She said she asked for some branches to be cut down along a logging road in Heathbell so her vehicle could get up the roadway.
Once she was at the site, an area of three metres squared was gridded off and a test section was done.
"We did a test hole to see if anything was there," she said, adding the team dug down about 12 inches and found white greyish matter. She said they kept digging around the area and eventually they could see the outline of a body.
A tattoo was visible on a foot as well as on the right side of the back. She said both the victim's wrists were tied with a black sweater and a blue and black shirt and towel. There was no other clothing on the body.
She said several pieces of duct tape were also on the right side of the sweater and the shirt was ripped while the sweater had a piece missing from it.
As MacEachern went through the exhibit photos with jury, she explained that the victim had a wound in her chest area and more in her upper neck and upper back. Her hands also had defensive wounds.
The remains were taken to Halifax for an autopsy by Nova Scotia medical examiner Matthew Bowes who is expected to testify Monday in the month-long trial.
On Nov. 8, MacEachern said she attended a seizure of items at a property on Hardwood Hill Road that housed both a mini-home and travel camper. Inside the camper, she said a silver piece of duct tape was found on the floor in the hallway and another piece on a counter.
She said she found blue ink on the duct tape from the floor and when she put it under a forensic light, it had the word Dooly's on it, similar to an admission stamp used by the bar.
MacEachern said a multi-coloured towel found on the foot of the bed in the camper also had the same texture, colour and thickness as a towel found wrapped around the remains in Heathbell. She said the barcode and price tag on the towels also matched.
A piece of black fabric was also seized from the floor of the bedroom in the camper as was a pop bottle and water bottle on a cabinet beside the bed. Hair was found on the headboard of the bed.
MacEachern said the identification unit was at the Hardwood Hill property for several days, but on Nov. 7 she was also informed that a grey, Chevrolet Impala driven by Falconer was being seized by police.
Inside the Impala, she said the RCMP seized a laptop computer and plastic material with duct tape on it that was sitting behind the driver's seat. A white bag behind the passenger's seat was also examined and its contents included a black tank top, sandwich wrapper, tissue, receipts, a plastic bag, scraps of paper, a package that once contained scissors, a green pill bottle that had white residue in it, a yellow post-it note with a phone number on it and a roll of duct tape.
She said the black tank top was dirty and had some leaves on it. It also tested positive for blood. MacEachern added that fingerprints were found on the bag that contained the tank top.
Under cross-examination, Taylor asked about the collection of items in Heathbell and if more than one person was assigned to seizing the items. MacEachern said there were two people involved, including an officer with the New Glasgow Regional Police Service and the RCMP.
He also questioned how many times she changed her gloves when was sorting evidence.
"Well it's always important for the jury to make decisions on whether or not the evidence that they've been hearing about and will hear more about in the future is reliable and the issue of contamination is always something that has to be considered," Taylor told the media following the court session.
The trial will resume Monday morning with the Nova Scotia medical examiner on the stand.
