U.S. Transportation Secretary Mineta Announces $4.96 Million for New Mexico
WASHINGTON, DC-U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta, joined by U.S. Congresswoman Heather Wilson of New Mexico, today announced that New Mexico will receive $4.96 million in Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funding for the Isleta Boulevard reconstruction project in Albuquerque. This funding will be made available through the transportation and community and system preservation (TCSP) pilot program.
"President Bush in his State of the Union address called on Americans to get the economy growing again," U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta said. "This reconstruction project will help preserve local businesses and keep them a viable part of the community."
The grant will allow the Isleta Boulevard project to move forward and will preserve the local flavor of the community and incorporate a context sensitive design that preserves the community character of the traditionally Hispanic area. It will also improve pedestrian, bicycle and transit accommodations.
TCSP funds are used to help achieve locally determined goals such as improving transportation efficiency; reducing the potential negative effects of transportation on the environment; providing better access to jobs, services and trade centers; reducing the need for costly future infrastructure; and revitalizing underdeveloped and brownfield sites. Grants also can be used to examine urban development patterns and create strategies that encourage private companies to work toward these goals in designing new developments.

Vocational Training Services Policies and Procedures
WWRC Vocational Training Services Program Transfers
Transfers from one program area to another program area in Vocational Training Services are the exception and not the rule. The DRS counselor, WWRC counselor, instructor, other members of the team, and/or the principal would allow a client to change program area after consideration of the request, under the following circumstances:
- The client has completed less than 25% of the current training program (unless there are extenuating circumstances).
- Client is not making appropriate progress in current program.
- Program has become too difficult resulting in failing grades.
- Progress is too slow (more than a month behind for feasible employment).
- There is evidence from the Vocational Evaluation that the client has an ability to be successful in the area to which he/she wants to transfer.
- There are special circumstances (determined by the team) that require a transfer.
- If a client loses interest and decides that he/she will not work and/or refuses to work in the training area, this is a reason for termination, not transfer.
Attendance and Leave Policies
In an effort to standardize program attendance policies and client expectations regarding class attendance in various training programs, Vocational Training Services has adopted the following attendance policy. The intent of this policy is to mirror employer expectations for newly hired employees so that Vocational Training clients will gain skills in managing employment leave issues in an appropriate manner. The policy is compared with business and industry standards and is reviewed by various training program advisory committees during annual advisory meetings.
Vocational Training Services Attendance Policy
- Clients receive six hours a month of universal leave time to be used for time out of class due to:
- Illness, regardless of whether the client is judged as sick by a doctor or the health clinic.
- Personal reasons, with at least one day's notice except for emergencies.
- Medical appointments not related to the client's disability.
- Clients enrolling after the 15th of the month receive only three hours of leave time for that first month.
- Clients whose absenteeism exceeds six hours a month (or 5% of their time in attendance):
- Will not receive a Certificate of Completion.
- May be eligible to receive a Summary of Skills if missed time was due to disability-related absence or illness.
- If a counselor feels it is appropriate, clients can be put on a 'leave' status to allow time to address individual issues and that time missed will not be counted against them.
- A client's counselor can appeal this policy to Administration for special considerations.
Withdraw Policies
While it is the goal of Vocational Training Services to provide clients with every opportunity to succeed, enrollment in Vocational Training is strictly voluntary. In the event clients choose to terminate their training programs, they may be eligible to receive a Summary of Skills, if they have satisfactorily completed at least 80% of their training program.
Clients who receive a Summary of Skills and complete satisfactory employment for 90 days in a directly related field within one year may be eligible to receive a Certificate of Completion in the training program in which they received the Summary of Skills.
Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
Vocational Training Programs: Satisfactory Academic Progress
Client Grievance Procedure
Clients who do not agree with decisions made regarding their services or training may appeal the decision verbally or in writing. All clients will be informed about the services of the Virginia Office for Protection and Advocacy (VOPA) during their first meeting with their counselor. VOPA advocates can help during the appeal process.
To make an appeal, clients should talk to their counselor who will arrange a meeting with the supervisor of the person who made the decision being appealed. In this meeting, clients have an opportunity to tell their point of view and ask for a change in the decision. The supervisor considers all of the facts presented and makes a decision. Clients have the right to receive this decision in writing.
If clients do not agree with the supervisor's decision, they can ask to speak with a higher-level supervisor for an Administrative Review. In this case, clients will again tell their point of view and ask for a change in the decision. This supervisor then provides clients with a written decision.
If the appeal involves providing or denying of services, clients are entitled to a Fair Hearing as described in the Virginia DRS Vocational Rehabilitation Program Policy and Procedure Manual. In this case, clients must make a written request to the DRS Commissioner within 15 days of receiving the Administrative Review decision. In this request, clients must explain in detail why they disagree with the decision. The DRS Commissioner will assign an impartial hearing officer who will listen to all the details of the appeal and make a final decision.
If clients in a vocational training program have a complaint that was not settled at a local level and/or at any stage of the Agency appeals process, they also have the option to contact the Council on Occupational Education, an independent postsecondary accreditation body:
|7840 Roswell Road Building 300, Suite 325, Atlanta, GA 30350
|800-917-2081 (Toll Free) or 770-396-3898

Newchurch in Pendle, Lancashire Genealogy
England Lancashire Lancashire Parishes
Village History
Newchurch in Pendle is a village in Lancashire adjacent to Barley, at the foot of Pendle Hill. Famous for the Demdike family of Pendle witches who lived there in the 17th century. Newchurch used to be called Goldshaw Booth and later Newchurch in Pendle Forest, however this was shortened to "Newchurch in Pendle". The civil parish is still named Goldshaw Booth.
Chapelry History
Newchurch in Pendle St Mary was created a chapel of ease by 1544 from, and lying within the boundaries of Whalley, Lancashire Ancient Parish.
Other places in the parish include: Old Laund Booth, Roughlee Booth, and Barley with Wheatley Booth.
There was a chapel of ease on this site as early as 1250 and a later chapel was dedicated in 1544. The tower, although restored, is the only remaining part of that building. The current church was probably built in the 17th century, however it was only completed in 1740. The "eye of God" is built into the west side of the tower. To the east of the porch, up against the south wall, is the grave of a member of the Nutter family (carved with a skull & crossbones). Local legend has it that it's the last resting place of Alice Nutter, one of the famous Pendle witches. However, executed witches were not normally buried in consecrated ground, and the skull and crossbones is a common 'memento mori' device used to remind the onlooker of their own mortality. So it can be fairly confidently asserted that the legend is in fact a myth.
"NEWCHURCH-in-Pendle-Forest, a parochial chapelry, in the parish of Whalley 6 miles north by northwest of Burnley. It comprises the four townships of Barley with Whitley, Goldshaw, Old Laund Booth, and Roughlee. The chapel, dedicated to St. Mary, was erected by 1544. At Fence, in Old Laund Booth, is a church erected in 1837, called St Anne forming a separate incumbency.
There were places of worship for Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists, Baptists, Inghamites, and Roman Catholics.[1]

Medical Definition of Pyogenic granuloma
Pyogenic granuloma: a small, vascular benign tumor of the skin or mucous membranes. They appear as a small reddish bump that grows rapidly at first and then remains a constant size. The size rarely exceeds 1 cm in diameter. Pyogenic granulomas usually develop on the arms, hands, or face. They occur in people of all ages, but those most commonly affected are in the second and third decades of life. Their exact cause is unknown. They bleed easily because they are rich in blood vessels. Surgery is the preferred treatment because they do not resolve on their own and tend to bleed heavily. They may recur if not completely excised.
Pyogenic granuloma is also known as lobular capillary hemangioma. The name "pyogenic" suggests an infectious process, but an infection is not believed to be the cause.

Electoral Map Doesn't Always Lead to White HouseAlbert R. Hunt
July 9 (Bloomberg) -- "If you get the votes," Stu Spencer advised a persistent young reporter during the 1980 U.S. presidential campaign, "the map will follow."
Spencer, the top political strategist for Ronald Reagan and one of the best ever to ply the trade, was suggesting that the fixation on the Electoral College and key battleground states is excessive. The college, or the map, invariably follows the popular vote. The only exception in more than 100 years was 2000, when George W. Bush lost the popular vote, and after a controversial Supreme Court ruling, won the presidency.
The more important focus, Spencer suggested, are swing voter groups. In 2012, if married women with children in Florida go for the Republican candidate, Mitt Romney, they probably will go for him in Ohio, too. If Obama captures suburban independents in Pennsylvania, it's not likely to be much different in Colorado.
The same is true of each party's base. If Hispanics are voting heavily in Nevada, the same pattern ought to hold in Virginia. A big time turnout of evangelicals in North Carolina suggests the same in Iowa.
So why all the constant attention to the electoral map and the magic figure of 270, the number of electoral votes required to be elected president?
Easy Calculus
One reason is that it's more fun for journalists, and it's easier to focus on states and the number of electoral votes. Also this calculus enhances the reputation of political strategists. The Republican Karl Rove, who ran George W. Bush's campaigns, and David Plouffe, President Barack Obama's political guru, are supposed to be masters of the map.
More important, it matters in very close contests, usually those decided by one percentage point or less, as was the case 12 years ago. In a number of the recent tight races -- 1960, 1968, 1976 and, to a lesser extent, 2004 -- the popular vote and the map were in sync.
Matthew Dowd, the top poll taker and a strategist for George W. Bush, illustrated the unusual scenario where it might matter this time. Obama won the national popular vote four years ago by a little more than seven points. Dowd took four points off the Democrats' 2008 vote in each state, and added it to the other column, which would have given Republicans a tiny edge in the popular vote.
Under that scenario, however, Obama this time still would squeak by and win the Electoral College vote 272 to 266. He would lose Florida, Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina, Virginia and a congressional district in Nebraska, not quite enough to switch the result.
If, instead, the difference were five points for each candidate, the Republicans additionally would pick up Colorado, New Hampshire and Iowa, which bring them 15 more votes than necessary to win.
The two probable conclusions: If the race is decided by two percentage points or more the electoral map won't matter; if it's less than that, the president has a slight advantage with the map.
In looking at current surveys, both sides carefully examine the profile of a state's electorate and compare it with the landscape of 2008. It's generally accepted that voter enthusiasm for Obama, particularly among young voters whom he carried decisively last time, is diminished; it's also true the electorate in most places is more non-white, a disadvantage for Romney.
The party preference in any poll is the best guide; with rare exceptions, 90 percent or more of self-identified partisans vote for their own side.
Party Preference
Three recent Quinnipiac University polls underscore this point. In Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio the partisan breakdown is almost the same as it was four years ago. Obama has an advantage in all three, though for Ohio it is wider than in other surveys of that state.
More important than the horse race are the internal dynamics. A lot is driven by an anti-Romney sentiment. In Ohio, one third of the voters were independents, who will swing the election. They have a 44 percent to 31 percent unfavorable view of the Republican nominee. Reversing that is his challenge over the next four months.
Spencer, who recalls Reagan and Bill Clinton trailing at a comparable stage in their races, thinks it's doable.
In a phone conversation, Spencer, at 85, seems as sharp as when he was the hottest political consultant in America, helping Reagan win the California governorship in 1966 and the presidency 14 years later.
His advice for Romney, who he says doesn't relate well to average voters: "Stay focused on the economic issues and don't try to change who you are."
For Obama: "Spend a lot of time around Bill Clinton and listen. He is a master at understanding his base and understanding the rest of us."
For both, the counsel he gave his actor-turned politician client almost five decades ago seems relevant: "Politics is just like show business. You have a hell of an opening, coast for a while and then have a hell of a close."

Decision makers
Urge Your Senators to Support Early Breast Cancer Awareness
One in every eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
When breast cancer is detected early, the five-year survival rate is 98 percent. But, when breast cancer occurs in women under the age of 40, it is often detected at later stages, is more likely to be aggressive, and may be less responsive to traditional therapies.
Despite these facts, there is a lack of awareness about the risks and unique challenges facing young women with breast cancer.
A bill currently before the Senate, called the Breast Cancer Education Awareness Requires Learning Young (EARLY) Act, would address these unique challenges by providing public education targeted at young women, resources for health professionals to offer more tests, and support services for young women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
The EARLY Act has already been introduced in the House and has received overwhelming support with more than 360 co-sponsors. But, to ensure the EARLY Act passes the Senate and makes it to President Obama's desk, your senators need to hear from you.
Please take a moment to write your senators and urge them to co-sponsor the EARLY Act today!
As your constituent and a strong advocate against breast cancer, I urge you to support S. 994, the Breast Cancer Education and Awareness Requires Learning Young (EARLY) Act, recently introduced by Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME); the bill already has more than 30 co-sponsors. The EARLY Act was originally introduced in the House by Representatives Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Sue Myrick (R-NC), Donna Christensen (D-V.I.), and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) and now has almost 360 co-sponsors.
If you have already agreed to co-sponsor the bill, thank you! If not, please sign on as a co-sponsor.
The EARLY Act will address the unique concerns facing young women with breast cancer by:
- Initiating an evidence-based public education campaign about breast cancer in women under age 45 - with an emphasis on women at higher risk due to their race, ethnicity or genetic heritage.
- Educating health care professionals about the risk factors, opportunities for genetic counseling and testing, and unique challenges that face young women diagnosed with breast cancer.
- Providing grants to organizations that provide credible health information directed to young women diagnosed with breast cancer.
While it is rare, young women can and do develop breast cancer. In the U.S. about 5 percent of all breast cancer occurs in women under age 40. Diagnosing breast cancer in young women can be more difficult because their breast tissue is often more dense than the breast tissue of older women. By the time a lump can be felt in a young woman, it is often large enough and advanced enough to lower her chances of survival. In addition, the cancer may be more aggressive and less responsive to hormone therapies.
There are benefits to starting evidence-based, age-appropriate breast health education early. By starting young, when women are still developing their lifelong habits, educating them about the benefits of healthy living and breast self-awareness will lead to a lifetime of empowerment. And they may be willing to adopt healthy lifestyles including exercise and nutrition.
When breast cancer is detected early, the five-year survival rate is 98 percent. But because many younger women are diagnosed at later stages with more aggressive breast cancer, their survival rate is lower. With increased awareness for genetic counseling and testing, early detection, and treatment, we can improve the odds. That is why I urge you strongly to co-sponsor this critical piece of legislation.

Cisco delivers service-stuffed routers
ISR line leverages hefty horsepower to deliver VoIP, firewall, VPN, and more
Not that long ago, a small-office router handling a single T1 was more or less fully consumed by that task. Throwing more features into the software to support services such as VoIP or firewalling just wasn't practical, given the cost of CPU and RAM available for the smaller units.
Now, the converse is true: SOBO (small office/branch office) routers have plenty of horsepower to spare. As the availability of high-power embedded platforms grows, the prices drop, and the headroom provided by the new platforms enables manufacturers to bring together into a single solid-state unit services that used to require several devices and possibly a few servers. Cisco's new line of access routers, dubbed ISRs (Integrated Services Routers), fits this bill nicely.
In the lab
I evaluated two examples from Cisco's ISR series: the 1811W and 2811. The 1811W is a fixed-configuration router designed almost exclusively for the small office. It offers DSL or Ethernet handoff, firewalling, VPN tunneling, integrated wireless capabilities, integrated Ethernet switching, and even optional PoE (Power over Ethernet) switch ports for VoIP phones.
My 1811W evaluation unit came with a Wi-Fi AP (access point), two antennas, and an eight-port 10/100 Ethernet switch with PoE capabilities when paired with a single outboard brick-style power supply, an integrated 56K modem, two USB ports, and two dedicated 10/100 Ethernet interfaces.
The 2811 expands on this concept by providing most of the above, except the AP, in a modular 1U chassis and adding eight switch ports, embedded VoIP call-handling capabilities, voice mail, and as many as 16 FXS/FXO ports. With four WIC (WAN interface card) slots and a single NM (network module) slot in the rear, my 2811 evaluation unit came with a 16-port 10/100 PoE blade containing a single Gigabit Ethernet port; a two-port FXO (foreign exchange office) card for POTS connections; and two built-in 10/100 Ethernet ports.
Both routers run Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System), providing the familiar CLI and borrowing against over 20 years of development. Cisco has a habit of providing a management GUI and configuration tools only at a premium, but in this case, the company tacked them on as part of the package. The 1811W comes complete with a Java-based management application launched from a Web session to the router itself. Nearly all the configuration options available to this router are also available through this interface, with a few notable additions.
The SDM (Security Device Manager) GUI is subject to the vagaries of incompatible JREs (Java Runtime Engines). I had a hard time firing it up on a Linux workstation running JRE 1.5, but it worked well on a Mac PowerBook and a Windows XP workstation running JRE 1.4 flavors.
The SDM GUI is somewhat reminiscent of the Cisco PIX PDM (PIX Device Manager), with a relatively well-laid-out, frames-based config dialog. All the basic configuration elements are there, from basic interface addressing options to VPN configuration. In addition, there are several extensions available, such as a built-in security-reporting tool that will evaluate the router configuration and make recommendations on changes that can improve security. Also available are network utilization reports. For most single-office uses, this GUI will be all that's needed; they won't need to mess with the CLI at all.
Phoning it in
The 2811 comes with the Web-based Cisco Unity Express manager, which gives users a graphical interface for managing and configuring their phone access. This model also comes with an optional, completely self-contained version of CME (CallManager Express), a subset of Cisco's flagship CallManager VoIP platform.
I ran into a few problems with the CME management GUI. Unless you configure the CME with its Web application from the start, it's unlikely to function correctly. Although the CLI-based configuration on the router might be perfectly functional, the CME Web interface wouldn't load properly until I had reset the configuration to defaults and started fresh.
For my testing, I configured the 2811, along with a few Cisco IP phones, to support several VoIP extensions, incoming hunt groups, voice mail, and voice-assisted call routing. Armed with the right interfaces, this router can also act as a Wi-Fi AP, while handling up to 30 simultaneous digital calls, a maximum of 24 users, and 50 voice mail boxes. All in all, a pretty nice trick for a router.
In the real world
The upside to the ISR plan is that you get all these features at an attractive price. With fewer devices in your network closet, you have fewer management- and support-contract costs.
The downside is that a low-level device failure, such as a blown power supply, can render everything offline, from the phones to the network. Another concern is that inadequate security provisions on such an integral device can result in an attacker gaining complete control over the entire office infrastructure in one fell swoop. Furthermore, the Wi-Fi support in the 1811W may actually be viewed as a detriment as it's impossible to physically disable this feature. The surreptitious enabling of Wi-Fi access could be a problem that goes undetected for quite a while.
These caveats aside, the ISR concept is well represented by the 1811W and the 2811 routers, and the trend is far from a fad; it's the next step in network infrastructure evolution.

Yamaha FSX800C Small Body Acoustic-Electric Guitar
Sku #J39931000001000
6 String Acoustic Guitars
- Write a Review
45 day price guarantee, 45 day return policy, 100% secure shopping
A quality affordable acoustic-electric guitar for smaller-handed players.
Derived from Yamaha's FS800 which has a solid spruce top and nato/okume back and sides, the FSX800C adds a cutaway body and Yamaha's proprietary under-saddle piezo pickup and System 66 analog preamp to ensure a solid, plugged-in performance.
The FS model body is 10 mm slimmer than that of the FG body, offering increased comfort and playability with no loss of volume or bass. Having a body that is easier to hold makes the FS more appealing to beginners and smaller guitarists, including female players. In addition, the smaller dimensions and lower propensity to feedback make FS guitars ideal for stage use.
Case sold separately.
Newly Developed Scalloped Bracing
Today's FG models have a louder and stronger sound in the low- to mid-ranges thanks to cutting-edge acoustic analysis technology developed by the Yamaha R&D Division. Yamaha's engineers have achieved this sound by utilizing analysis and simulation to arrive at the best bracing design without depending on tradition or guesswork. This analysis led to the development of an enhanced scalloped bracing pattern that maintains the durability of the top board while bringing out the most sound the Yamaha FSX800C has to offer.
System 66
System 66 feature an under-saddle piezo pickup developed by Yamaha. Controls include a 3-band EQ, an adjustable mid-range frequency control and a precision chromatic tuner for optimum sound tailoring. The system is powered by easy to obtain AA-size batteries that provide a stable power supply for improved sound quality.

Shop with My Rewards Code: QAR407
A unique use
I have used this fragrance for several years now as a mosquito repellant with fantastic results. I hate smelling like citronella and I refuse to use poisons.
Hope I never have to do without this product
I have been using Cellfood for at least five years. My health has improved in so many ways - especially where seasonal allergies are concerned. I have had three surgeries during that time and the doctors were amazed at my speedy healing. My energy level is definately higher than it was before I used this product. I plan to use this product forever.
Nice lightweight but effective product
My hair does not need heavy conditioning. This product has just the right touch - protects my hair from the heat of the hairdryer without weighing it down. My hair is not damaged and is straight - too much of anything makes my hair limp. This product is just right to use with a lightweight whip that I use for body.
Love Aubrey Products
I am middle-aged but I still have combination skin. This product is perfect for me.

Black and White and Red All OverBy Sadie Stein
Last year, Benjamin Marra released a series of zines based on the 2000 American Psycho film adaptation. Now, the artist, along with Portland's Floating World Comics store, is reproducing American Psycho as a limited-edition broadsheet. From paper to celluloid to paper and now newsprint! (To say nothing of the remake.) And given protagonist Patrick Bateman's seemingly routine existence, a newspaper feels especially apropos. (To say nothing of Christian Bale's work in Newsies.) It's all especially striking given the novel's initial reception: as Bret Easton Ellis says in his recent Paris Review interview,

Scribbling on watercolors/
After school, the girls and I went out for an early dinner and I drew while they noshed ~ a good thing about not having a packed schedule! I'm doodling on a page I'd watercolored in the moleskine. Earlier, I spent some time folding fabric in my guest room aka sewing room, making a new stitched journal, and stitching together masses of little fabric rectangles for a project-to-be-named-later. I was super tired, but it was a creative day nonetheless.

Low-cost war may ground Qantas
Page Tools
Qantas chief executive Geoff Dixon's dream of grabbing a chunk of the burgeoning South-East Asian airline market seems to have evaporated after the 49 per cent Qantas-owned Jetstar Asia conceded it was in talks on an "alliance" with Singapore budget carrier Valuair.
Responding to a report in Singapore's Business Times newspaper, Jetstar Asia chief executive Ken Ryan yesterday issued a statement that confirmed that "Jetstar Asia and Valuair are exploring a variety of ways that they can work together or co-operate with each other".
The statement is being taken as a defeat for Qantas, which previously spruiked ambitions of making Jetstar Asia a "very substantial" player in the low-cost Asian aviation arena. Qantas now faces the prospect of becoming the first high-profile casualty of the Asian low-cost airline war.
Jetstar Asia launched its first services out of Singapore last December. It took only a few weeks for the airline to admit it was facing serious troubles.
After failing to gain access to key routes into China and Indonesia, Jetstar Asia was forced to cut its projected fleet of eight A320s to four early this year. The airline also pulled out of its first route, Singapore to Pattaya, after just two months of service.
"All avenues are being explored, that's all I can say," Jetstar Asia head of marketing Dorit Grueber said.
Qantas is expected to highlight Jetstar Asia's woes as it lobbies the Federal Government to keep Singapore Airlines off its lucrative Sydney-Los Angeles route. Qantas could counter arguments for Australia to stop protecting Qantas on the LA route by highlighting the restrictions Jetstar Asia faces flying out of Singapore.
But Jetstar Asia's access problems principally lie not with Singapore but with the countries it wants to fly into, Indonesia and China. So far it can fly to only four cities in both countries, routes it claims are "developmental" and loss making.
It remains unclear where the planned "alliance" would leave Valuair's plans to launch services from Singapore to the Australian east coast. It is believed the airline is having trouble finding long-haul A330 aircraft to service Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.
Valuair, founded by former Singapore Air executive Lim Chin Beng, was the first budget airline to begin services out of Singapore.

Baroness Stern declared a non-pecuniary interest in that her husband
is a panel member of the Billy Wright inquiry.
Draft Report [The UN Convention against Torture (UNCAT)], proposed
by the Chairman, brought up and read.
Ordered, That the draft
Report be read a second time, paragraph by paragraph.
Paragraphs 1 to 25 read and agreed to.
Paragraph 26 read.
Question put, That the paragraph stand part of the
The Committee divided.
Lord Campbell of Alloway
Mary Creagh MP
Mr Andrew Dismore MP
Paragraphs 27 to 128 read and agreed to.
Paragraphs 129 to 131 read, as follows:
"129. As we have previously stated, although
diplomatic assurances are capable, in principle, of satisfying
the State's obligation not to return an individual to torture,
in practice they should be treated with great caution in case
they undermine the absolute nature of the prohibition on deportation
to torture. The adequacy of each diplomatic assurance will be
a matter for consideration by the courts, and we welcome the clear
statements from both the Home Secretary and Baroness Ashton that
the adequacy of a diplomatic assurance to prevent a risk of torture
is a matter for assessment by the courts alone, rather than the
executive. Whether a diplomatic assurance will be sufficient to
allow deportation will depend on the circumstances of the case,
including the nature and extent of the risk of torture and the
degree to which the terms of the assurance, including monitoring
mechanisms, are sufficient to dispel that risk. The value of the
assurance in practice will depend on all the circumstances, including,
as the Supreme Court of Canada said in Suresh, the human rights
record of the government giving the assurances, the government's
record in complying with its assurances in the past, and the capacity
of the government to fulfil the assurance, including its ability
to control its security forces and other agents when dealing with
individuals such as the would-be deportee.
130. The evidence we have heard in the course
of this inquiry, and our analysis of the Memoranda of Understanding
already agreed, has confirmed our view in our earlier report that
diplomatic assurances should be treated with great caution, and
should not be presumed to provide any additional safeguard against
the risk of torture. Assurances are the products of diplomacy,
and as such are no substitute for binding, enforceable legal guarantees.
Their agreement is the product of diplomatic negotiation, the
demands of which will often preclude precise prohibitions on and
safeguards against ill treatment. The Government's response to
the Foreign Affairs Committee Report confirms that the main sanction
for breach of an MoU will be the serious damage done to diplomatic
relations between the two States. Even more worrying, diplomatic
considerations are likely to take precedence in the monitoring
of assurances following deportation. As Baroness Ashton made clear
to us, the Government would be very reluctant to question the
good faith of another Government with which it had agreed an assurance.
Furthermore, diplomatic assurances do not contain any enforcement
mechanism, which would allow for redress or sanctions in the event
of their breach. In the absence of a mechanism of enforcement,
assurances against torture from states that are known to practise
torture in breach of their obligations in international treaty
law as well as customary international law, are unlikely to be
131. Whilst, therefore, in principle there could
be could be cases in which a diplomatic assurance against torture
could be adequate to alleviate the risk of torture, in our view
these cases will be rare. Where, as will normally be the case,
a diplomatic assurance against torture is sought from a state
where torture is widespread or systematic, then detailed and precise
guarantees, as well as intensive, frequent and scrupulously independent
monitoring mechanisms would be the minimum necessary for the diplomatic
assurance to carry any significant weight in the assessment of
whether the person to be deported would face a real risk of torture.
In regard to the particular Memoranda of Understanding which
have already been agreed by the Government with the Governments
of Lebanon, Libya and Jordan, we note that the human rights records
of those and other states with which Memoranda are currently being
negotiated, are such as to necessitate clear safeguards against
ill-treatment, backed up with effective, transparent and independent
monitoring mechanisms. We are not as yet satisfied that those
mechanisms are in place in relation to Lebanon and Libya. In our
view, the Memoranda of Understanding so far agreed by the Government
with those two countries therefore do not yet provide a sufficient
basis for alleviating a real risk of torture, to permit deportation
in compliance with Article 3 UNCAT and Article 3 ECHR. In
the case of Jordan, as we have noted above, a Jordanian
human rights NGO has been appointed as the monitoring body.
We recommend that the Government should make available further
information about this NGO to enable judgments to be made about
its likely independence and effectiveness in this role."
Motion made, to leave out paragraphs 129 to 131 and
insert the following new paragraphs:
"129A. The evidence we have heard in this
inquiry, and our scrutiny of the Memoranda of Understanding agreed
between the Government and the Governments of Libya, Lebanon and
Jordan, have left us with grave concerns that the Government's
policy of reliance on diplomatic assurances could place deported
individuals at real risk of torture or inhuman and degrading treatment,
without any reliable means of redress. We are very concerned
that reliance on the good faith of Governments which are known
to use, tolerate or be unable to prevent torture in breach of
international obligations, is simply not a sufficient guarantee
to protect against torture, which of its nature is a clandestine
practice, takes place often without official authorisation and
may be very difficult to detect. In our view, the recent cases
of Ahmed Agiza and Maher Arar demonstrate this danger: both were
tortured, one in Egypt, the other in Syria, following their deportation
to those countries on the basis of assurances that they would
not be tortured. As those unfortunate cases show, the consequences
for the individuals concerned are so grave that this is a risk
which the UK should not be prepared to take.
129B. Reliance on diplomatic assurances also has
a second, less immediate, but nonetheless deeply corrosive effect.
The pursuit of bilateral agreements in relation to torture undermines
the multilateral framework of the UN and other treaty bodies concerned
with the eradication of torture. At a time when the universal
and absolute prohibition on torture needs more than ever to be
supported and reaffirmed, the use of diplomatic assurances against
torture undermines that universal legal prohibition, and presupposes
that the torture of some detainees is more acceptable than the
torture of others. In thus undermining the universal legal prohibition
on torture, it risks damaging the validity and effectiveness of
international human rights law as a whole.
129C. We therefore agree with the UN Special Rapporteur
on Torture, the European Commissioner for Human Rights and others
that the Government's policy of reliance on diplomatic assurances
against torture is an attempt to circumvent the well established
international obligation not to deport anybody if there is a serious
risk of torture or ill-treatment in the receiving country. We
further consider that, if relied on in practice, diplomatic assurances
such as those to be agreed under the Memoranda of Understanding
with Jordan, Libya and Lebanon present a substantial risk of individuals
actually being tortured, leaving the UK in breach of its obligations
under Article 3 UNCAT, as well as Article 3 ECHR."(Lord
Motion made, and Question put, That the paragraphs
be read a second time.
Proposed new paragraph 129A.
Amendment proposed, in line 1, at the beginning, to insert the
words "Following the case-law of the European Court of Human
Rights, in our view diplomatic assurances are, in principle,
capable of satisfying the State's obligation not to return an
individual to torture, and cannot be regarded as irrelevant to
an assessment of the risk of torture. States are entitled both
to seek such assurances from other states and to take them into
account when deciding whether the individual concerned will be
exposed to a real risk of torture if deported. We disagree
with the views of the human rights NGOs whose evidence suggested
that it is wrong in principle to seek bilateral diplomatic assurances
about torture, and who declared that they would not be willing
to take part in monitoring of assurances. We find this view defeatist.
In our view, the human rights NGOs should be striving to make
diplomatic assurances work in practice, by agreeing to assume
the independent monitoring role envisaged by the memoranda of
understanding."(Mary Creagh MP.)

A chat might be fun and be a good way to work up some enthusiasm. A chat is a
way to have an interactive working session. We used to do it on CompuServe.
The chat feature in the Yahoo Group looks quite easy to use: just go to the
Group web site and click on 'chat'. You will be prompted to install a web
control. Once that is installed, the chat window becomes active. I did not
test using Firefox or Mozilla/Netscape so I do not know if browsers other
than IE are supported. Everyone who shows up at the appointed hour will be
part of the chat. I did not see any moderator tools, but I didn't look very
hard either.
This chat should not be viewed as an announcement of completed plans but
rather a way for more people to participate in making those plans.
The museum concept is a really cool idea and I can see how this group could
pull it off. It would be nice for me if it were closer to Connecticut, but
WTH. It might even be a nice home for my IBM 5110!

Admiral Farragut football coach Ryan Hearn confirmed via text message Monday that he has hired former St. Petersburg Catholic coach Dan Mancuso as offensive coordinator and assistant head coach.
Mancuso, the offensive coordinator at Northeast the past two seasons, coached the Barons from 1995-2006 and is the school's all-time coaching leader with 71 victories.
He resigned five games into the '06 season, leaving a program that was penalized by the Florida High School Athletic Association for recruiting violations and illegal practices.
He also was an assistant at Jefferson before landing at Northeast.
"Ryan Hearn, my old friend, called me and he asked me to come help him build up a program," Mancuso said. "The coaching staff he's assembled, it's a super coaching staff, and I want to be a part of that.
Hearn and Mancuso were both finalists for the head coaching job at Admiral Farragut and consulted each other during the process. The two met when Hearn played for USF, and Hearn recruited SPC while he was an assistant at the Citadel.
Hearn said he also hired former Palm Harbor University assistant coach Chris Carothers to be his offensive line coach. Carothers was a three-year starter at Clearwater before playing for USF from 2002-05.
"I played with Chris at USF, and he was still there when I was a graduate assistant," Hearn said. "There was some familiarity there, and I feel like I'm getting one of the best offensive line coaches in the state."
Carothers said he made the move because he was able to get a full-time teaching position at Admiral Farragut.
"There were a lot of incentives for making the switch," Carothers said. "It's a great opportunity, and a great staff. I'm excited about it."

The meet and greet, which included a Q&A session and footage from the film, came after fans in Los Angeles demanded a Southern California stop via social media. The Mortal Instruments cast's mall tour has included visits to Minneapolis, Miami, Chicago and Philadelphia.
Earlier this week, the film held its Hollywood premiere at the ArcLight Cinemas.
Mortal Instruments: City of Bones opens nationwide Aug. 21.

I am the 10th district legislative chairman for the American Legion. It is our committee's purpose to propose, track and lobby for legislation that directly affects our veterans.
In this capacity I have seen some legislation lay idle for long periods of time. With this in mind I was surprised at the speed the "Dick Goddard" animal treatment bill passed. Anyone who knows me knows I will never stand for any animal abuse, but in light of my previous statement, I had to question our priorities.
After further thought, I applied the squeaky wheel theory to the problem, and came to the conclusion that maybe we as veterans are not vocal enough about our situation. As veterans it is not enough that you simply join a veteran's organization and expect our committees to do the legwork.
I am not calling for marches on Columbus or Washington, but in this day of telecommunications, emails, and yes even, letters, it is not that difficult or time consuming for veterans to let their representatives know what they want.
I want to thank The Daily Record for this forum for our opinions, and thank those who read this for your time and consideration.

I agree, you're not vocal enough. Your difficulty will be in building a consensus to act upon. Good luck, I hope you do move forward on common causes.
Not enough elected Veterans in office, they are just Veterans of the business world and only worry about making money and not taking care of fellow Americans.

Hello!

 I would like to know if there is already an easy way to discover the version/type of any particular USB stick after it has been burned but *without* needing to boot it.Ā Is there a readme file or some other sort of distinguishing feature that could be easily found that would indicate which USB image was burned?

 If such a thing does not exist, I would like to suggest a small readme/manifest file that would be in an easily reached location within each USB, right inside / if possible would be difficult to miss.

 Thanks!

 If you can mount the USB stick, you should see a "pcbsd-media" file on it, which contains the version string.

--

ĀI was unaware of that file. However, the stick in question is identified by that file as '9.0-BETA3' which for it is only a version number, and says nothing of whether it is the liveusb or boot-only or usbfull or what. Another usb stick is identified by that file as '9.0'.

I would like to suggest adding the iso/img type: full, lite, boot-only, etc, and also add the architecture: i386 or amd64, unless we choose to be more precise with 32-bit vs 64-bit.

Thank you!

Lawyers aren't shy of reminding the world of their unique constitutional status. Listening to these noble upholders of the rule of law reflect on their position at the heart of modern democracy, you'd be forgiven for assuming they had been carefully selected from a broad cross section of society.
The reality, though, is depressingly different: a survey last month found that lawyers are more than seven times as likely to have been privately educated than members of the general population.
Remedying this situation is one of the main aims of the impending review of legal education. Another is doing something about the serious mismatch between numbers of law students and trainee lawyer jobs. Last year more than 7,000 prospective solicitors enrolled on the year-long legal practice course — which costs up to £12,500 — but there were only 4,510 training contracts available at the end of it. The situation is even worse at the bar, with around 4,000 bar professional training course (BPTC) graduates routinely fighting it out for just 500 pupillages.
Many believe the answer to these problems is an aptitude test to filter out those unlikely to secure traineeships before they embark on legal professional skills courses. They argue that such a move would resolve issues of over-supply and give successful students from low-income backgrounds greater confidence to take out loans to cover their fees.
But competition law could scupper this idea. An attempt by the barristers' regulator, the Bar Standards Board, to introduce an aptitude test last year for entry on to the BPTC was blocked by the Office of Fair Trading on the grounds that it would ultimately lead to "decreased quality and availability and increased prices in the final market for advocacy services."
And even if these concerns were overcome, there are doubts about how effective an aptitude test would really be at encouraging students from less wealthy families to enter law – especially in view of the coalition's undergraduate fee increases and the associated incentive to keep costly higher education to a minimum.
If the legal profession is serious about changing its make up, it needs to do something more radical. One idea that stands out is the apprenticeship-style approach mooted last month by Legal Services Board chairman David Edmonds, which would see some of the professional training responsibilities that currently reside with the law schools reallocated to law firms and barristers' chambers. This would cut costs for prospective lawyers, who could study while they worked without getting into more debt.
The timing looks right for this kind of model. With the legal profession more fragmented than ever – high street solicitors and international corporate lawyers would be the first to admit that they don't have much in common – law firms are increasingly open to the possibility of professional legal training being conducted in-house on a more specialist basis, even if that means picking up more of the cost themselves. Meanwhile, law schools, which would have the most to lose if an apprenticeship model were introduced, are seen by many in the profession as in need of being reined in.
The relentless focus on profit of these mostly private institutions was illustrated by the recent decision of BPP Law School to open three new branches in spite of the current surplus of law graduates. And its rival, the College of Law, a registered charity, did itself no favours with its decision last year to pay chief executive Nigel Savage £440,000 (more than the vice-chancellor of every British university except the London Business School, and at least double what the bosses of most other UK-based charities earn).
The legal regulators conducting the education review have a choice: they can tinker with a dysfunctional system that runs contrary to the core values of the profession it serves, or they can overhaul it. Let's see what option they take.
