Today's technology
Is violence in America today worse than in the past? Or has today's technology — cellphones and the Internet — made reporting it easier and faster?
Think about the shootings at Kent State University during the Vietnam era. If every student had been carrying a cellphone with a video camera, would four students have been killed by our own government? Of course not.
Police departments around the country are being sued amid allegations of officer misconduct because police officers are being recorded all the time.
In the Internet age, nothing is a secret. The Chinese military has hacked into PNC and scoped out its customers in recent years. We cannot stop the future; we just do what the Marine Corps does — adapt, compromise and overcome. Semper Fi.

A bipartisan compromise that would have expanded federal background checks for firearms purchases has been rejected by the Senate.
The defeat of the measure by a 54-46 vote — six votes shy of the number needed to clear the Senate — marks a major setback for gun-control advocates, many of whom had hoped that Congress would act to curb gun violence in the wake of December's Newtown elementary school massacre, where 20 students and six adults were killed.
The National Rifle Association fought the expansion of background checks, saying criminals would simply ignore them, The Associated Press reports.
The expanded background checks were aimed at closing loopholes and keeping criminals and the seriously mentally ill from getting firearms. Currently, the checks only apply to purchases handled by licensed firearms dealers.
In a last-ditch appeal on Wednesday, White House press secretary Jay Carney urged senators to "consider who they're representing," and pointed out that "90 percent of the American people support expanded background checks. If you are opposed to this legislation, you should obviously explain why you are against what 90 percent of the people are for."
But a recent Associated Press-GfK poll shows waning public support for tighter gun laws. According to the AP: Overall "49 percent said gun laws should be made stricter while 38 percent said they should stay the same," according to the survey of 1,004 randomly chosen adults conducted from April 11-15.
Reuters says: "Other measures backed by [President Obama] — including a proposal to ban rapid-firing 'assault' weapons like the one used in Connecticut and a limit on ammunition magazines — also are expected to fail as the Senate conducts nine consecutive votes on gun-control legislation."
Update at 5:54 p.m. ET. 'A Pretty Shameful Day':
Flanked by victims of gun violence, including the parents of a child killed in Newtown and former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Obama gave an impassioned speech at the White House Rose Garden minutes ago.
"All in all, this is a pretty shameful day in Washington," Obama said.
Obama ditched his usual diplomacy and accused Republican senators of putting politics ahead of the wants of the American people.
"How can something have 90 percent support and yet not happen?" Obama asked.
He said this piece of legislation was a bipartisan compromise that respected the Second Amendment and the victims of gun violence. Obama said the National Rifle Association "willfully lied" about the bill to defeat it, even though it "represented moderation and common sense," and the NRA has in the past supported expanded background checks.
"It came down to politics," Obama said. He added, "Who are we here to represent?"
Obama, however, said this isn't over.
"I see this as just round one," he said.
Update at 5:34 p.m. ET. Senate Ignored People's Will:
Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head during a massacre at a congressional meet-and-greet, said the Senate "ignored will of the people" with this vote.
"Constituents will know they obeyed gun lobby and not them," she continued.
Update at 4:59 p.m. ET. 'It's A Shame':
Ed O'Keefe, who covers Congress for The Washington Post, reports that many of the victims of gun violence who packed the Senate gallery to watch the vote, expressed dismay.
"Patricia Maisch, who knocked ammo clip out of hands of Jared Loughner, escorted out after shouting: 'I hate them,' she said of the senators.
"Lori Haas, whose daughter Emily wounded in the April 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech, said: 'It's a shame, it's appalling, it's disgusting.'"

U.S. citizens enjoy one of the most abundant and safe food supplies in the world. Along with that abundance and affordability comes a lot of choices, and though it's still a small subset of the population, an increasing number of people are jumping on the raw-milk bandwagon. Proponents advocate that raw milk has more healthy proteins than pasteurized milk, tastes better, is fresher and does not to contribute to a host of diseases (from diarrhea to autism) that they claim pasteurized milk does.
The scientific community, however, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Medical Association and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) believe that raw milk consumption is an unsafe practice.
2006 testimony before the House Agriculture Committee of the State of Ohio House of Representatives from John F. Sheehan, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition of the FDA, said:"Raw milk is inherently dangerous and may contain a whole host of pathogens including enterotoxigenic Staphylococcus aureus, Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella species, Escherichia coli species, Listeria monocytogenes, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium bovis, Brucella species, Coxiella burnetii and Yersinia enterocolitica, to name a few." Sheehan noted that though most consumers will not realize it, prior to pasteurization, Mycobacterium bovis was reported to cause between 6%–30% of all tuberculosis cases in the United States.
Recent work published in the January 2009 Clinical Infectious Diseases by Jeffrey T. LeJeune, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVM, Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center and Päivi J. Rajala-Schultz, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVPM, The Ohio State University, says that the consumption of milk that is not pasteurized increases the risk of contracting disease from a foodstuff that is otherwise very nutritious and healthy, and that despite concerns to the contrary, pasteurization does not change the nutritional value of milk.
LeJeune and Rajala-Schultz's paper explains that pasteurization has become the cornerstone of milk safety. Pasteurization is the process of heating milk for a predetermined time at a predetermined temperature to destroy pathogens. The current guidelines for temperature and time combinations for pasteurization are based on the ability of the process to destroy C. burnetii. The thermal destruction process is logarithmic, and bacteria are killed at a rate that is proportional to the number of bacteria present. Pasteurization improves the safety and lengthens the shelf life of a product by destroying pathogenic and spoilage organisms.
Raw-milk advocates claim that pasteurization fundamentally changes the structure of milk components, rendering it less healthful. However, "the claims of raw-milk advocates are mostly anecdotal and are not supported by scientific literature," LeJeune explains. "The work looking at the effects of pasteurization that is published is subject to peer-review and unequivocally demonstrates that milk that has been pasteurized retains its valuable nutritional components."
Contamination of unpasteurized milk
LeJeune and Rajala-Schultz's paper indicates that the frequency of contamination in pooled farm milk has been reported to be <1% to 8.9% for Salmonella species, 2.7% to 6.5% for L. monocytogenes, <1% to 3.8% for Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, <1% to 12.3% for C. jejuni, and 1.2% to 6.1% for Yersinia enterocolitica.
These organisms are all in the dairy environment and therefore could end up in milk, because the farm and barn environment or milking procedures are not and never will be sterile or even aseptic. Possible contaminates, those responsible for spoilage and pathogens are widely distributed in the farm environment, LeJeune notes. As milk is excreted, it can become contaminated with bacteria that live as commensal microflora on the teat skin or on the epithelial lining of the teat canal. "It is not reasonable to think that every microscopic particle can be prevented from entering milk," he says.
"We know for sure that E. coli, especially O157:H7, Salmonella as well as Listeria can cause severe disease in humans," Rajala-Schultz says. "The connection between Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis and human disease is still debated."
Any organism that is acquired via ingestion could result in infection if it is present in milk, LeJeune adds. "In addition to the other common pathogens, Listeria has one of the highest case fatality rate of all foodborne diseases. These are all likely to be found in the dairy-farm environment."
Coxiella burnetii, causative agent of Q fever, rarely causes clinical disease in cattle — it can be associated with reproductive problems and it is shed in high numbers in birth-related tissues and fluids of infected animals. Therefore, the most common route of transmission for Coxiella is through aerosols or direct contact with placenta, birthing fluids, etc. during calving, even though the organism can also be shed in milk and could be transmitted via ingestion of unpasteurized milk as well.
Contamination of milk can occur quite easily. "If and when the organisms are on the teat skin or in the teat canal it is very easy for them to get into the milk during milking," Rajala-Schultz says. "Even when people are trying to collect aseptic milk samples for mastitis diagnosis and the teats are dipped, wiped and stripped, the teat ends are scrubbed with 70% alcohol swabs and gloves are used, it is still possible to get contaminated samples if not paying attention to the sampling procedure. Milking hygiene is of extreme importance to ensure high quality milk."
Microorganisms are capable of proliferating in milk. Thus even if they are excreted very low numbers, such as with a subclinical infection, they can proliferate at a later time, says LeJeune. "If milk is not cooled quick enough, this gives the bacteria an opportunity to multiply and even small initial amounts of any bacteria in milk can multiply exponentially quite quickly," notes Rajala-Schultz.
Raw milk vs. raw colostrum
Some raw-milk advocates go a step further and seek out the most nutritious milk there is — colostrum —believing this "first milk" which is loaded with immunity factors for the calf, is also more nutritious for humans. However, raw colostrum may be a bigger danger than raw milk. "Both regular milk and colostrum are extremely good growth media for bacteria, with all the nutrients they contain," Rajala-Schultz explains. "The bacteriological quality of either milk or colostrum is largely dependent on how the product is handled, how quickly it is cooled after collection, etc."
Rajala-Schultz says based on a recent study from Pennsylvania, bacterial counts in raw colostrum were considerably higher than in raw bulk tank milk, as reported earlier in a separate study also from Pennsylvania. "I would speculate that the difference is likely due to the handling of colostrum as it may not get cooled down as quickly and efficiently as 'regular' milk, thus allowing more time for the bacteria to multiply."
Who is at risk?
As with many diseases, the young, the old and the immune-compromised are at greatest risk. Numerous CDC case reports about illness associated with raw milk involve children who consumed the product. One CDC report indicates raw milk products accounted for 4% ofE. coli disease outbreaks during a 20-year period from 1982–2002. 2007 unpublished CDC data also indicates that from 1998 to May 2005, raw milk or raw milk products have been implicated in 45 foodborne illness outbreaks in the United States, accounting for more than 1,000 cases of illness.
Rajala-Schultz says that in most raw-milk associated outbreaks, the majority of the patients have been young children. "These kids are likely not capable of making informed decisions on this issue," she says. "While I am sure that all parents want only the very best for their children, given all the knowledge and documentation we have about the potential disease risks related to raw milk, it is amazing that some people are willing to take that risk."
That's what makes the practice of drinking raw milk so dangerous, agrees LeJeune. "It's one thing for a consenting adult to engage in a dangerous practice after being informed of risks, but is it fair to children to expose them to hazards that risks are far higher and more severe risks without protecting them from uninformed or reckless adults?"
Communicating the risks
How veterinarians respond to questions about raw milk may depend on who is asking. Messages to farmers will be different than those to consumers, LeJeune says. "Since consumers may be turning to farmers for information and advice, especially with the explosion of community supported agriculture initiatives, producers need to be in the know of what the risks are for both their customers and for the health of their own families." In addition, he says, physicians need to be alerted to the possibility of these disease showing up.
LeJeune believes redirecting the question may be a better way to get the message across. There is no doubt in the scientific community about the hazard of raw milk consumption. "The debate is more on the level of social governance and peoples' freedom to choose even if they choose to make unwise decisions. A similar debate has been raging among people who do not wish to have their kids vaccinated against childhood diseases."
"This may be a question about a freedom to choose and not being told by the government what one can and cannot eat," says Rajala-Schultz. "The overall message, however, is that the disease risks with raw milk consumption are known and well-documented, and the consequences can be very serious. The barn environment is not sterile and numerous microorganisms are ubiquitous in the environment. It is impossible to produce milk without any bacteria in it."
The dairy business is a hard business to succeed at financially. The lure of making more money for raw milk products may look attractive to some producers. However, the consequences can be high, according to LeJeune. "Not only is there the potential for legal action, loss of licenses and loss of revenue, but someone selling raw milk could ultimately be contributing to the loss of a life."

Re: NATALIA QUINTANA IRT Reference No. N93/01463 #NUMBER 3772 Number of pages 7 Class 812 (December 1989 (Permanent)) Entry Permit
J. METLEDGE (Member)
The Tribunal affirms the decision refusing the grant of a Class 812 (December 1989 (permanent)) entry permit to the Principal.
J. METLEDGEThis is a review of a decision refusing the grant of a Class 812 (December 1989 (permanent )) entry permit to the Principal Ms Natalia Quintana. The original application was lodged in Sydney on 12 February 1993 and a decision refusing the application was made by the delegate of the Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs (the Department) on 23 August 1993. The application for review was made to the Tribunal on 20 September 1993 by the Applicant, Mrs Cynthia "Macabenta". The relation of the Applicant to the Principal is that of nominator and daughter.
2. The Principal was born on 1 December 1925 and is a citizen of Philippines.
3. The Principal arrived in Australia on 6 February 1989. The class of visa held by the Principal was visitor. The expiry date of the last entry permit granted was 19 August 1989. After this date, no further entry permit was granted to the Principal who consequently became an illegal entrant.
4. The criteria to be satisfied by migration applications lodged on or after 1 February 1993 are contained in the Migration (1993) Regulations which repealed the Migration (1989) Regulations. The Regulations which are applicable to this case are the Migration (1993) Regulations (hereinafter called the Regulations).
5. In order to determine the entitlement of any applicant to a visa or entry permit the Tribunal must have regard to the provisions of the Migration Act 1958 (the Act) and the Regulations. The Regulations provide for classes of visas and entry permits and prescribe criteria which have to be met before an applicant becomes entitled to a visa or entry permit. Non-citizens who wish to travel to Australia must hold a valid visa. Holders of a valid visa may travel to a landing place in Australia, such as an airport, but may not leave the airport. Such persons require the grant of a valid entry permit on arrival to enable them to enter and remain legally in Australia. The Regulations provide for the grant of permanent visas and entry permits and temporary visas and entry permits.
6. There are prescribed criteria, such as health and public interest criteria, which apply to all classes of visas and entry permits. The Regulations also prescribe additional criteria which are applicable to a particular class of visa or entry permit. The Tribunal will generally first examine whether the additional criteria for the particular class of visa or permit are satisfied, because if these criteria are not satisfied then there will be no need to further consider whether other prescribed criteria are satisfied.
7. In determining facts as they existed at the date of application the Tribunal may take account of later facts in so far as these throw light on the situation as it existed at the earlier date. In Bretag v Immigration Review Tribunal and Minister for Immigration, Local Government and Ethnic Affairs (unreported, No. SG 72 of 1991, 29 November 1991) the Federal Court held that the Tribunal may have regard to subsequent history in determining a question of fact at the time of application, so long as it tends logically to show the existence or non-existence of facts relevant to the issue to be determined, quoting from Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs v Pochi (1980) 4 ALD 139 at 160 per Deane J.
8. In reaching its decision the Tribunal is bound by the relevant legislation and applies relevant government policy. General policy guidelines are applied by the Tribunal unless there are cogent reasons to the contrary. General policy directions issued by the Minister pursuant to section 179 of the Act are applied wherever they are relevant. (See generally Re Drake and Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs (No.2) (1979) 2 ALD 634 and Ali v Minister for Immigration, Local Government and Ethnic Affairs (1992) 38 FCR 144.
9. With regard to the onus of proof issue which arises in this type of case, while there is no legal onus on applicants to give sufficient evidence to prove their claims, it is nevertheless in applicant interest to make any evidence in their knowledge available to the decision-maker. This is so because if at the end of the review the Tribunal is uncertain or unable to decide that on the balance of probabilities sufficient evidence exists to entitle an applicant to a visa or entry permit, it must decide against the applicant.
10. To be entitled to the grant of this entry permit, the Principal must satisfy the relevant criteria set out in Part 812 of schedule 2 of the Regulations which, so far as relevant, provides as follows:
812. 72Criteria to be satisfied at time of application (entry permit after entry)
812. 721If the applicant is an illegal entrant, the applicant satisfies illegal entrant criteria 6001 and 6002.

(4)An applicant satisfies the requirements of this subclause if:
(a)the applicant has been, since 15 October 1990, an aged parent of an Australian citizen or an Australian permanent resident; and
(b)on 15 October 1990 and continuously since that date the applicant satisfied the balance of family test in 1.5.
(5)An applicant satisfies the requirements of this subclause if on 15 October 1990 and continuously since that date, the applicant was:
(a)an aged dependent relative: or
(b)an orphan relative; or
(c)a special need relative; or
(d)a remaining relative; of a settled Australian citizen or of a settled Australian permanent resident.
(6)An applicant satisfies the requirements of this subclause if, subject to subclause (7):
(a)there was, on 15 October 1990, any compassionate ground (other than the grounds mentioned in subclauses (1) to (5)) for the grant to the applicant of an entry permit, to the effect that refusal to grant the entry permit would have caused extreme hardship or irreparable prejudice to an Australian citizen or an Australian permanent resident; and
(b)the compassionate ground continues to exist.
(7)For the purposes of subclause (6), "compassionate ground" does not include a circumstance that results directly from an event of a political nature only that occurred in the applicant's country of citizenship or of usual residence.

2. My mother looks after my children when I am working. She has done this since 1990.
3. Both my husband and I work during the day.
4. If she leaves I will have to support her financially and I would be worried about her welfare.
5. She helps me and my two brothers and one sister who live in Australia.
6. If she leaves, financially I can't afford a baby sitter so I would have to stop work. This also applies to my sister and my sister-in-law.
7. My job is selling insurance and I work in different areas. My husband sells chemicals and he works in the Eastern Suburbs.
21. The Principal gave evidence to the following effect:
1. I take care of my grandchildren. I also do the cooking and I help around the house.
2. If I left Australia my daughter will not be able to work.
3. My daughter supports us and if she is not working she will not be able to do this.
4. In the Philippines, the food is very expensive. We will not be able to buy the proper food.
5. We go to church every Sunday in Australia. In the Philippines we cannot do this because we live too far from the church.
22. The Tribunal found the witnesses in the main honest and truthful.
23. Based on the evidence the Tribunal accepts that there is a close family relationship between the Applicant and the Principal and that the Principal helps look after the children of the Applicant.
24. The Tribunal also accepts that the departure of the Principal will cause some hardship to the Applicant who will suffer some emotional sadness at seeing a close relative depart this country and losing her companionship as well as losing the benefit of the domestic help provided by the Principal.
25. However, the Tribunal does not accept that the relationship of the parties is such, or that the Applicant is so dependent on the Principal, that the departure of the Principal would cause the Applicant either extreme hardship or irreparable prejudice. After all the Applicant is in no different a position to any other mother with six children living in this country and coping without the benefit of domestic help.
26. After considering the evidence in accordance with the relevant legislation and in the light of government policy the Tribunal is of the opinion that the departure of the Principal would not cause extreme hardship or irreparable prejudice to an Australian citizen or permanent resident. There may be some hardship or prejudice suffered but not such that it could be considered as extreme or irreparable respectively. To meet the criteria of regulation 131A any hardship or prejudice suffered must be of the utmost nature or beyond repair respectively. These are very severe criteria and the Tribunal, on balance, finds that there is insufficient evidence to show that the departure of the Principal as at 15 October 1990 and continuing would have caused hardship or prejudice to the Applicant or any other Australian citizen or Australian permanent resident, beyond the concern, love and affection that members of a family or close friends have for each other. These human feelings and emotions by themselves do not amount to extreme hardship or irreparable prejudice sufficient to excite compassion and thereby invoke the application of the compassionate ground.
27. The facts of this case fall short of meeting the criteria for this entry permit and the Tribunal has no discretion to waive their strict application. Furthermore, there is nothing in the file or in the submissions to suggest, nor did it become apparent during the review, that the Principal might have grounds to apply for an entry permit of the same or a different class so as to enable the Tribunal to invoke the so-called aggregation provision of section 121 of the Act and to afford the Principal an opportunity to make a new application. Accordingly, the Tribunal has no option but to affirm the original decision.
28. There may be other criteria on which this application will also fail but it has not been necessary to consider them.
29. The Tribunal, while coming to the conclusion that the Principal is not entitled to the entry permit, nevertheless understands the difficulties faced by the parties because of the circumstances in which they find themselves. However, the Tribunal has no discretion in this matter but must strictly apply the relevant criteria in the Regulations.
30. The Tribunal affirms the decision refusing the grant of a Class 812 (December 1989 (permanent)) entry permit to the Principal.

THREE engineers who operated Queensland's main flood mitigation dam system are to be investigated by the state's Crime and Misconduct Commission following recommendations from the long-awaited official inquiry into last year's catastrophic floods.
The Queensland Floods Commission of Inquiry Report released yesterday found that a manual governing the operations of a key dam had been ''breached'' - raising the potential for flood victims to launch a class action against the dam operator, Seqwater.
The 658-page report confirmed the Wivenhoe Dam, which is supposed to mitigate flooding, was operated in ''breach of the manual'' from 8am on January 8 until the evening of January 9.
Completed just over a week before the state goes to the polls, the report noted that there was inference in a series of documents and reports that the dam was not being operated according to the higher release strategy designed to reduce flooding in Brisbane during the key weekend of January 8-9.
However, the state government inquiry, headed by Justice Catherine Holmes with a budget of more than $15 million, stopped short of confirming the dam's management had caused the flood.
It said that it may ''well be right'' that the flood engineers managed the dam so that the flood mitigation effect was ''very close'' to the maximum.
The report recommended the Crime and Misconduct Commission should investigate the conduct of flood engineers, John Tibaldi, Robert Ayre and Terry Malone, in connection with the preparation of documents relating to the event - including a brief to the then water minister Stephen Robertson on January 17, 2011 and statements and oral testimony to the commission.
The Premier, Anna Bligh, referred the engineers to the CMC and vowed to implement the report's recommendations ''lock, stock and barrel''. She said that while the report found a breach of the operating manual, it did ''not of itself establish liability''.
Ms Bligh did, however, vow that Seqwater would be a model litigant and, in any claims made against it, people would ''be treated fairly and claims fairly and openly assessed and where appropriate mediated and settled''.
In a press conference after the report's release, Ms Bligh rejected any claims her government had not acted to reduce the level of water in the dam in light of predicted extreme rainfall.
Ms Bligh's political challenger, the Liberal National Party leader, Campbell Newman, said an LNP government would also implement all recommendations.
The inquiry made dozens of recommendations, including that the dam's operating manuals be rewritten, a comprehensive flood study of the Brisbane catchment be undertaken and changes made to planning laws as well as the possible implementation of a process to alert prospective purchasers of property to flood risks.
During the floods, 38 people died and the state was declared a natural disaster area. The cost of recovery has been estimated at more than $6.8 billion, according to the federal government.
An estimated 14,100 Brisbane properties were affected, while in Ipswich about 3000 homes were flood damaged. In Brisbane, the number of residential properties inundated totalled 1203.
For some of those who lost loved ones in the flood, the report is not expected to answer key questions. Peter Bromage's younger brother, Robert, 50, died after his vehicle was washed off a flooded road in Ipswich just west of Brisbane on January 11.
''The question we all ask is why did he end up in the water. I spend most of my time thinking about it,'' he said yesterday.

SkinCeuticals Blemish Control Gel
SkinCeuticals Blemish Control Gel Reviews
nice productI recently purchased this gel after reading many good reviews on it and also because I am a big fan of skinceuticals. I would say, give it about one week to see the result because at first, I feel like it was just maintaining the breakout at the stage it had been. However, later on, I can see the inflammation going down and my skin started to heal fast. The best thing so far for me is that this pr...read moreoduct has been reducing the redness on my acne area and around my nose. What I am still expecting to see some results is the reduction in blackheads on my nose. Even though it is 32 dollars for such a small little thing, but anyone who has acne sure shares the same pain and will try whatever it takes. I would recommend this product. — 9 years, 4 months agoilovecosmetics | 29 reviews

Best Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Covers
6 Times the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Mattered
And here it is, the infamous red and pink polka-dot bikini. Tyra recently reflected on what the issue meant to her:
"A lot of the women here say it was their dream. But it wasn't my dream, because I didn't think it was possible. And I didn't think it was possible because of the color of my skin . . . I want to thank Sports Illustrated . . . for thinking different, and I say 'different' without an 'ly,' for being daring and for making every little black girl that year that saw that issue go 'oh my God, mama, I think I'm pretty because a black girl's on the cover just like me.' I stand here representing everybody with a dream, to know that if you have a dream and you have tunnel vision, it can come true. But remember to dream bigger. Because if you do, those things can be reached, too."

Cape Town - Blind busker Lunga Goodman Nono, who was forcibly removed from his spot in St George's Mall a year ago by the City of Cape Town's law enforcement officials, has been awarded R300 000 in damages.
Magistrate Mas-Udah Pangarker of the Cape Town Regional Court said the officials had failed to uphold the law and had violated Nono's constitutional rights.
There was also "excessive" use of force, as well as verbal and physical abuse.
A delighted Nono said on Thursday that a nice dinner "somewhere fancy" was the first thing he would do to treat his family after winning a 13-month court battle against the city. He would also spend the money on improvements to his one-roomed shack in Delft.
Karusha Iyer of Kirsten Attorneys said the judge awarded the maximum damages amount, and ordered the city to pay all legal costs.
This judgment was a significant victory for Nono, as courts seldom granted the maximum amount in a general damages claim.
"She agreed that Nono had suffered and that there was definitely a violation of his constitutional rights. He was definitely defamed."
Nono, who was born blind, was manhandled during a scuffle with law enforcement officials in July last year. The busker's guitar was broken in the fracas.
He has been playing on the corner of St George's Mall and Shortmarket Street near Greenmarket Square since 2008. But following a noise complaint from a nearby business, he was forcibly removed from his spot by city officials.
Video and photographic footage showed how Nono was dragged on the ground while his wife, Abigail, and 10-year-old daughter, Portia, watched in horror.
The city contended that Nono had contravened a by-law, but it later emerged that the municipality did not have a clear by-law on busking. Amendments have since been made to the Informal Trading and Street Performances by-law.
Nono initially faced a fine of R1 500 for disobeying an instruction from a city law enforcement official, but these charges were later dropped.
Meanwhile, the three law enforcement officers implicated in the incident were issued with final warnings valid for six months and sent for sensitivity training on how to handle people with disabilities.
JP Smith, mayoral committee member for safety and security, said yesterday: "The city will study the judgment and consider our options. At this stage we cannot comment further without prejudicing any future possible proceedings." The city never appeared in court to defend the claim, said Iyer.
But in her ruling, the judge reportedly placed on record her disappointment that the three law enforcement officers involved in the incident were only suspended for six months.
"This was just a slap on the wrist," said Iyer.
It was suggested that the officers should have apologised to Nono for the way he was mistreated.
However, the judge did not support Nono's claim of unlawful arrest, as she said he was never incarcerated in a holding cell.
As the matter involved a general damages claim, the magistrate asked Nono and his wife to testify in court and the couple took the stand on August 25.
It emerged during testimony, and is also recorded in court documents submitted by Nono, that he now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. He experiences nightmares and must now undergo regular psychological treatment.
Iyer said her client was too scared now to play more than a few times a week in case he was assaulted again.
"He's lost the jovial nature he had. Those officials have taken the passion out of him."
But speaking to the Cape Argus from his busking corner on Thursday, Nono and Abigail couldn't stop smiling after receiving the good news from their lawyer around noon.
"We have been in and out of court for months. I am very happy we have finally won," said Nono.
Besides the family dinner, Nono plans to spend the money renovating his one-roomed shack in Delft, on Portia's education and also on recording a "hot album".
Abigail said her husband had not been the same after the incident and there were days when he did not even want to wake up for work because he was still traumatised by what happened.
The ACDP has meanwhile indicated that it will call for the disciplinary case against the officers to be reopened so that stricter sanction could be considered. It would also motivate for the officers to apologise to Nono, said the party's Grant Haskin.

When you go on a shore excursion, do you have to take your birth certificates for everyone off of the boat with you for id purposes at the different ports?
No, you will take your Sail & Sign card and a picture ID.
However, if you take children off the ship, you will need their birth certificates or passports with you to return! Children generally don't have photo id. While I don't always have to show their birth certificates to get back on the ship, sometimes there is another customs type official before we even get to the ship that needs to see them. I play it safe. I travel with two certified copies of everyone's birth certificate. One stays locked in the safe on the ship, just in case. The other set is inside a zipper type plastic bag and with me at all times.
Ok, my daughter is 13 and will have an i.d. only card (looks like a driver's license, but is only for proof of i.d.), so with her will that be enough?
on our last cruise the victory in dec. 05. we were with our granddaughter 4, daughter 14, & son 13. all we needed for them was the sign & sail card to get on & off the ship. when you check in carnival takes a picture of you, so when you us the s&s card the picture shows nup on a monitor.

Roxio BackUp MyPC Deluxe 2006
Roxio BACKUP MYPC 2006PCWorld Rating
Sonic Solutions bought Roxio in December 2004, and Roxio BackUp MyPC Deluxe 2006 ($50 as of 5/25/06) looks an awful lot like last year's Sonic BackUp MyPC 6.0 Deluxe Suite.
The repackaged release is a competent and easy-to-use backup program, but it feels a bit dated. For example, its disaster-recovery function can't handle large FAT32 partitions and still requires floppy disks. Plus, the program lacks features, such as native file backup and support for Blu-ray Disc, found in competing products.
More worrisome is the accompanying readme file that refers to the app as version 6.0.0, suggesting that there hasn't been a single change or improvement in the last year. A Roxio spokesperson confirmed that the software's only update was to its name, but said that Blu-ray support would be added in the next version, intimating that Roxio will continue to develop the program at some point.
The program performed flawlessly with rewritable DVDs, hard drives, network drives, and tape. It also backs up open files, a major plus and something that costs you extra bucks as an add-in with competitors such as Genie-Soft's Genie Backup Manager and Uniblue's WinBackup.
Sonic sweetens the software pot by throwing in Roxio RecordNow CD/DVD mastering software and the Express Labeler disc-labeling application, though their features are barely backup related. Both are competent, but will never be mistaken for Nero's Burning ROM or Roxio's own Easy Media Creator. Another extra is Stopzilla, which cuts down on pop-ups and spyware.
As is, BackUp MyPC Deluxe 2006 took the second spot on our recent backup software chart, despite its lack of updates. Here's hoping Roxio treats this classic app with the respect it deserves, delivering the promised Blu-ray update and perhaps adding native file backup as well.

"Go Jets go," hollered one fan, and the stands erupted with a rousing cheer.
Looks as though the people who've filled most of the lower bowl at the MTS Centre are glad to have hockey back.
Captain Andrew Ladd and defenceman Dustin Byfuglien drew the biggest cheers for the open Jets practice.
The lineups for free popcorn and drinks stretched more than 40 metres.

A foldable, lightweight bike fender from Sweden that installs in seconds
It's no secret that cyclists are particularly sensitive to the aesthetics of their rides—whether it's a tried and true steel frame commuter or a state-of-the-art carbon fiber racer—yet adding anything to distract from the bike's original form is generally avoided. However when the rain falls, a clunky set of fenders almost becomes an attractive option. Adding to the list of well-designed solutions (like the CH favorite Plume Mudguard), a group of Swedes in the rainy southern city of Gothenburg figured out a way to keep their butts dry and their bikes looking fresh at the same time. The aptly named (and cheeky) Ass Savers provides adequate rear protection from the elements when you need it and easily folds away when you don't. Requiring no hardware and causing no abrasion to the frame, seat post or saddle, this is the most low impact fender we've seen. The crew at Ass Savers aims to protect both your butt and the environment, using 100% recycled materials and sustainable production methods.
Weighing just 15 grams for the universal fit model and 18 grams for the specially designed wide model for vintage Brooks saddles, Ass Savers adds very little weight to your bike. While Ass Savers are perfect for city riding, they are perhaps best suited for hardcore roadies. Don't fret about cluttering up your machine, simply fold away your Ass Saver, available in a wide range of colors (including a Red Hook Crit special edition colorway) and forget it's there until the rain starts falling.
Made in Sweden, Ass Savers are available online starting at €8.

The sounds of great gifts
Wild, Cheryl Strayed's vibrant, boldly honest, best-selling memoir, grabs you from the very first lines, and you'll get to know her before, during and after her intense, difficult, soul-saving hike on the Pacific Crest Trail. Strayed started this wilderness trek to take herself out of her own wilderness, out of being as "low and mixed-up" as she had ever been, out of her overwhelming grief for her mother's untimely death and the nagging sorrow of her failed marriage. It's a breathtaking, mesmerizing adventure, so well told that you feel her blisters and bruises, her trials on the trail and her hard-won realization of who she is and who she'll be. Narrator Bernadette Dunne does a great job, capturing every emotional nuance, every step of the way.
On February 14, 1989, the Ayatollah Khomeini sentenced Salman Rushdie to death for writing The Satanic Verses. It plunged Rushdie into 12 years of living a strange, strained, sequestered life under an assumed name, where the covert became the ordinary and the ordinary vanished. What it felt like, how he survived and how he maintained any semblance of his old self is superbly unfolded in Joseph Anton and superbly read by Sam Dastor. It's a brilliant memoir, written in affecting, but unaffected, prose, detailing his daily anxieties, daily triumphs, friends (and wives) who helped, friends (and wives) who disappointed. It's a long tale, but uniquely fascinating.
The Iraq war with its physical and psychological horrors becomes brutally immediate and intensely close in Kevin Powers' powerful debut novel, The Yellow Birds. His language is extraordinary, his images and insights searing as he witnesses young soldiers losing limbs, life, humanity and their moral compass. The fog of war isn't lifted, the confusion of homecoming is still painful, but, seeing it all through Powers' prism, we can begin to understand these "boys" and the effect of the incomprehensible violence they experienced just a little bit better. Compellingly read by Holter Graham.
When you read Junot Díaz, you fall straight into the desire-drenched machismo of Díazlandia—that fabulous fusion of New York, New Jersey and Santo Domingo—and are bowled over by his brilliant torrent of in-your-face prose, spiced with the sounds of the barrio. And when Díaz narrates, as he does here for his new short story collection, This Is How You Lose Her, the effect is even stronger. He gives his main character, the swaggering, stumbling, very Díaz-like Yunior, not just voice but life as he lusts, loves, cheats on his girlfriends, suffers the consequences over and over and brings all his baggage along as he moves from the 'hood to the ivory tower.

Not being a regular viewer of Oprah, I somehow missed this a couple weeks' back. An appearance by the remarkable pianist Jennifer Lin. Two years ago, when she was just 14, she lit up the TED Conference with an astonishing improvisation. (Click the second link on this page.) Her Oprah appearance included some brief clips from that TED performance, and a second improvisation in which Oprah (instead of Goldie Hawn) drew the notes from which she played. Ah, Jennifer, we miss you!

Medical Definition of Test, allergy scratch
Test, allergy scratch: Test done on the skin to identify the allergy substance (the allergen) that is the trigger for an allergic reaction.
A small amount of the suspected allergy-provoking substance is placed on the skin. The skin is then gently scratched through the small drop with a special sterile needle.
If the skin reddens and, more importantly, if it swells, then the test is read as positive and allergy to that substance is considered probable.

After a dominant Ashes series, Mitchell Johnson is feared and revered - just as he was almost five years ago, when he was part of a team that inflicted a memorable series defeat on South Africa. But at the forefront of his mind, with South Africa having not lost a series since, is how he plummeted soon after reaching that summit.
The fast bowler's confidence is high, but he warned his Australian teammates they could not afford to be content with their dominance against England in the just-passed summer. Johnson himself is a prime example of that - the Ashes series in England that followed the early 2009 tour of South Africa marked the start of the decline the left-armer has only recently - and spectacularly - emerged from.
''I'm happy to be the intimidator and to be talked of like that,'' he said on Monday.
''I'm coming over here after a great series being the intimidator against England. They've obviously seen all that, and I think they [South African spectators] are excited about seeing that as well. I had a lot of English [supporters] come up to me after the series, and even through the series, and they were just saying how good it was and how it brought Test cricket back to life. It's great to hear those words.
''But I know I've been in this situation before. In '09 everything was going really well [and then plummeted], but I've learnt from that. I'm not going to underestimate anything … I'm just going to go out there and keep doing what I'm doing.''
Reflecting on the 2009 series, when he averaged 25 with the ball and 85 with the bat, Johnson disagreed that as an inexperienced 27-year-old he had expected Test cricket to be a breeze - ''but I guess I didn't expect to have that big low that was as low''.
''That was a great experience for me, as hard as it was. It's made me who I am today, I'm in this position now because I've learnt from that,'' he said. ''It was a very hard time in my career, but I know the mistakes I made then I won't be making again. So it's pretty simple.''
Australia enjoyed a rare outdoor training session on Sunday amid the persistent rain which on Monday forced the cancellation of the four-day tour match against a South African A team scheduled to begin on Wednesday.
Johnson said he wanted to replicate the hostility he bowled with against England in South Africa, and expected that approach would be noted by Proteas captain Graeme Smith, whom he has injured twice in previous series.
''That stuff can be in the back of their minds, definitely. You hope so,'' he said. ''I've played against Graeme Smith a few times now and I've hit him a couple of times. I'm hoping that's still in the back of his mind. That hopefully gives you a bit of an advantage. But it is a new series and they are a tough opposition. They've very strong mentally and they're the No.1 side for a good reason.
''Once that Test series starts, we've got to start from scratch. We can't live on what we've just been through, we've got to keep improving as a cricket team.
''Our goal is to take them over so it's a really important series for us. We can't be thinking about what's happened in the past, we've got to keep moving forward.''
Johnson said he expected Smith to demand his pace bowlers match the hostility he, Ryan Harris and Peter Siddle were aiming to inflict in the series beginning on February 12. ''They'll probably use Morne Morkel in that role, that enforcer sort of role, with his height and pace and bounce that he gets. I'll definitely think we'll be getting it back so we'll make sure that we get in there first,'' he said. ''Our plans don't change to their tail. Whatever they bring up, we've got to be prepared for.''
Johnson also said the Australians would not become overconfident because Dale Steyn and AB de Villiers had not played in the past five weeks because of injury.
''They've played a lot of cricket, they're veterans … you don't lose it overnight,'' he said.
''They'll be fine. They'll come back … will be strong and ready to go, Dale Steyn and de Villiers. They'll be ready for the fight. They know it's going to be hard. We've performed well over here so they'll be wanting to win the series. I wouldn't be thinking that they're going to come half-hearted.''
