Safety Tips from New Mexico Attorney General Gary K. King and New Mexico Secretary of Education Dr. Veronica C. García
If You Have A Profile On A Social Networking Site:
- Set up profile to Private or Friends Only – otherwise you are giving cyber predators permission to view it.
- Only add people to your friends list that you already know.
- Protect your personal information as well as personal information about your friends.
- If you are too young to be on a site, don't lie about your age to join.
- Delete mean or embarrassing comments.
- Beware of invitations through comments or bulletins to view videos or click on links …they may be attempts to capture your password and introduce a virus.
*Social networking sites include: MySpace, FaceBook, Bebo, etc.
Remember that anyone can lie online. A stranger could be a cyber predator if:
- The stranger asks for your picture.
- The stranger invites you to view his web cam.
- The stranger asks if you are alone.
- The stranger talks about sexual matters.
- The stranger wants to meet you in person.
If you are thinking about posting your pictures on a public site, think about this:
Once you have placed your picture on a public Internet site, it's out there forever and there is no taking it back.
- Software manipulation of photographs makes it possible for that photo to be altered and put back on the Internet or traded among child pornographers.
- Be anonymous: Don't give away personal information in your user name or screen name. Don't use passwords that are easy to guess (i.e., the name of your pet).
Is Your Computer Protected?
- What do you do with email from unknown sources? Opening an email from an unknown source, particularly if there is an attachment, may introduce a virus that could permanently damage your computer.
- Do you post your email on public sites? Spammers can find your email on the Internet and use it send you junk email.
- Does it have anti-virus software installed? Protect your files and computer from virus attacks that can prove disastrous.
- Do you have a firewall? One of the best ways to protect your computer from the ravages of hackers is to install a firewall.
- Do you know the dangers of file sharing? Someone could infect your computer with a virus or access information from your hard drive. This could be particularly devastating if financial information is stored on the computer.
- Do you forward emails from unknown sources? You may think you are being helpful but by forwarding the email, but you have just provided your friend's email address to an unknown source. And, if there is an attachment, you may have forwarded a virus.
- Do you disconnect the Internet when it's not in use? This is the best way to prevent anyone from using the Internet's "two-way street" to get into your computer.
Some Online Behaviors Are Against The Law...
Many view piracy and plagiarism as stealing. Illegal downloading of movies and music can have serious consequences. If you recognize that stealing a CD or DVD from a store is wrong, don't steal online.
There is an area of the law called Intellectual Properties; learn about it. Copying information from the Internet can be illegal and there are risks.

OCZ Vertex 4 review: Good deal
The 2.5-inch standard Vertex 4 solid-state drive (SSD) is a clear signal that OCZ wants to move to use its own Indilix Everest controllers rather than those from SandForce, which was used in the Vertex 3.
And that would be a good decision. The new Vertex 4 now uses the second generation (Everest 2) of the controller and offered great performance in my testing.
It's the first SSD I've seen that took just a second to be formatted and was immediately recognized by the system when used as a secondary drive.… Read more

NEW YORK CITY -- Yoani Sánchez, one of the most influential figures in the Cuban dissident movement, arrived Thursday afternoon at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City to begin one of the most important stages of her international tour.
As she arrived from Mexico, Sánchez, 37, was welcomed with shows of support and solidarity from friends, intellectuals, and academicians.
"She is one of the strong voices of the opposition and represents hope for many Cubans who desire freedom for our people," said Cuban exile Rolando Pulido, who has lived in New York City for three decades. "She's not afraid to tell the truth," he added.
Several people recognized her and had their pictures taken with her in a relaxed and cordial atmosphere. The situation contrasted markedly with her arrival in Brazil and Mexico, where supporters of the Cuban government protested against her.
"It is an intense tour, but I'm very happy to be here," Sánchez said. "I've boarded 20 planes in the last several weeks."
True to her style, Sánchez said she was enthused about meeting Americans and exchanging opinions and ideas about the situation on the island. In that context, she said she has not lost hope that Cuba will undertake changes that will lead to a democratic transition.
"I notice a kind of bubbling in civilian society, an increase in criticism, an expansion of the spaces for debate among citizens," she said.
Calls for change have been coupled with denunciations of a wave of temporary detentions.
Thursday night, Sánchez appeared at Columbia University's School of Journalism to answer questions.
Sánchez described the problems Cubans have when trying to access the Internet and government surveillance of independent journalists. She also spoke about the changes made by Cuban leader Raúl Castro.
"I would love to pose 50 questions to Raúl Castro. And I anticipate right now that they won't be answered," she said.
Sánchez stressed that Cuban government restrictions of the Internet have "been even more aggressive" than she expected.
Cuba is one of 60 countries that censor communications and limit or harass Internet users constantly. The average access to the Internet by Cubans is the lowest in the Western hemisphere. Individual connections are restricted to official entities and educational and cultural institutions, under strict supervision.
Access to foreigners and Cuban citizens must be officially authorized after an exhaustive background check. "But as a journalist I am not frightened by the problems," said Sánchez. "What's most important is that the Cuban government and [the Communist Party daily] Granma are reading us. That is why they have created an alternative blogosphere to reply to us. They're acknowledging us and that's a first step toward acceptance."
Earlier, she had said that although the Cuban authorities have hardened their already tough policies to silence dissident voices, the government is "losing" spaces that historically were always under its control.
"We're a people who specialize in finding out what's censored," Sánchez said. "In my personal case, that's how it was with the topic of travel. It was a journalistic and civilian crusade. I reported on the suffering and documented it."

Botanical name: Lactuca sativa
Plant type: Vegetable
USDA Hardiness Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Sun exposure: Part Sun
Soil type: Loamy
This is a half-hardy vegetable that you can keep growing all season long by planting one small crop at a time. Days to maturity tend to be short. Garden lettuce is far superior, in both taste and vitamin A content, to supermarket brands.
- Lettuce is a cool-season crop. While you should avoid planting in the middle of summer, you can get multiple crops in spring and late summer.
- Take extra care if planting crisphead varieties; they will not survive a hot spell.
- Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before last spring frost date for earliest crop.
- Till in compost or organic fertilizer 1 week before transplanting.
- Harden off seedlings for about a week, and transplant outside between 1 week before and 2 weeks after last spring frost.
- Leaf lettuce: Plant 4 inches apart.
- Cos and loose-headed types: Plant 8 inches apart.
- Firm-headed types: Plant 16 inches apart.
- Water thoroughly at time of transplant.
- Fertilize 3 weeks after transplanting.
- Direct sowing is recommended as soon as the ground can be worked. Plant seeds ½ inch deep. Snow won't hurt them, but a desiccating cold wind will.
- You should be able to sow additional seeds every two weeks.
- To plant a fall crop, create cool soil in August by moistening the ground and covering it with a bale of straw. A week later, the soil under the bale will be about 10 degrees F (6 degrees C) cooler than the rest of the garden. Sow a three foot row of lettuce seeds every couple of weeks—just rotate the straw bale around the garden.
- Consider planting rows of chives or garlic between your lettuce to control aphids. They act as "barrier plants" for the lettuce.
- Fertilize 3 weeks after transplanting. Lettuce prefers soil that is high in humus, with plenty of compost and a steady supply of nitrogen to keep if growing fast. Use organic alfalfa meal or a slow-release fertilizer.
- Make sure soil remains moist but is well-drained.
- Retain moisture with mulch throughout the summer months.
- Lettuce will tell you when it needs water. Just look at it. If the leaves are wilting, sprinkle them anytime—even in the heat of the day—to cool them off and slow down the transpiration rate.
- Some thinning may be required for directly sown seedlings; use the space guidelines above.
- Weed by hand if necessary, but be careful of plant roots: They are shallow.
- Lettuce should be harvested just before maturity. Pay attention to the leaf size. Before maturity, you can break leaves off. As time passes, you will want to cut the whole plant from the ground.
- Mature lettuce will go bad quickly, so check your garden everyday.
- It's best to harvest in the morning before leaves have been exposed to sun.
- Keep lettuce in the refrigerator for up to 10 days in a loose plastic bag.
- Lettuce wilted? Put the leaves in a bowl of cold water with ice cubes and soak for about 15 minutes.
Recommended Varieties
- Crisphead: 'King Crown', 'Mission'
- Cos (Romaine): 'Wallop', 'Paris White Cos'
- Loose Heads: 'Burpee Bibb'
- Red Leaf: 'Red Sail' (Not recommended for hot weather, their red pigment absorbs more heat.
Wit & Wisdom
Lettuce is a member of the sunflower family.

LOUIS BARABBAS & THE BEDLAM SIX come to JAMBOREE This SATURDAY!!
Great Support from Marmaduke Dando, Richard Barry and a sneaky few songs from Samson and Delilah (If you get there early!)
Louis Barabbas and the Bedlam Six
Since forming in late 2006 their music has infiltrated almost every creative niche, being adapted into animated short films, burlesque routines, musical theatre, fringe festival revues, documentary soundtracks, motion picture scores and even a comic strip.
Over the years they have won praise and support from the likes of Supergrass, The Mighty Boosh, Har Mar Superstar, UB40, Mark Steel, The Hells Angels, BBC Radio and even the Beat Poet biographer Barry Miles both for their furious onstage energy and Louis manic lyrical gymnastics.
Their infamous live shows incorporating rock, jazz, folk and theatre influences have proved time and time again that the group is at home on any line-up, even sharing the bill with such disparate acts as Motorhead, Sun Ras Arkestra, I Am Kloot, Eliza Carthy, The Blockheads, Emmanuel Jal and The Buzzcocks. In the last year alone they have toured Europe, the States and Mexico, inspiring stage invasions, dancing in the aisles and a confused mixture of exhaustion and bonhomie wherever they go. They are signed to co-operative Manchester-based label Debt Records.
Marmaduke Dando
Marmaduke Dando is a singer of morose ballads and frisky drunken jigs, often extracting references to early Scott Walker, Brel and Weill.
Bred from genuine pirate ancestry in a southern port, now based in London. He writes about all the horrors and beauties of the modern world, and barks them back at it with his dear band on the cold and regimented performance stages of London.
His songs have been set to films, played in the Houses of Parliament, and used as an aid for aspiring Casanovas.
Richard Barry
Richard is one of the most fondly revered performers on the UK folk circuit and Debt Records is making it their business to bring his work to a wider audience (whether he likes it or not).
In the past Richard has supported the likes of Bob Geldof, Kiki Dee, Midge Ure, Fairport Convention and Dr Feelgood. He is also a much-demanded voice-over artist, narrator and actor.

Sprint's ZTE Flash could have 12-megapixel camera, 4G LTE

According to TalkAndroid, the ZTE Flash will run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and feature a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, a 4.5-inch HD (1,280x720 pixels) IPS display, and offer support for Sprint's 4G LTE network.
The Flash is expected to have a standard 1-megapixel shooter, but the rear-facing camera will feature a huge 12.6-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED … Read more

Jakarta Post
NUSA DUA, Bali (JP): Never before has the development and the environment discourse shifted so dramatically as in the last six months.
Global recognition of the human contributions to climate change is leading to unprecedented responses from citizens, governments, and private corporations.
An important question is will these responses be too little too late? A more immediate and urgent question is who will be the winners and losers on the new climate change mitigation and adaptation playing field?
By many estimates, Indonesia is one of the world's leading emitters of carbon dioxide, the most prevalent of the global warming gases. This is due to the large amounts of carbon that are released into the atmosphere through peat and forestland logging and clearing for palm oil and pulp wood plantations.
As the host of the 13th UN Conference of Parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change, Indonesia is under pressure to demonstrate a real commitment to addressing its land-based emissions of greenhouse gases.
The first and least complicated way for Indonesia to show leadership and significantly reduce land-based emissions is to take steps to protect peat forests from conversion to plantations. This will require a change in Indonesia's development strategy that currently allows plantation companies to convert forests to establish new plantations.
The second and more complicated approach to reducing land-based emissions is to significantly reduce deforestation.
Keeping in mind the millions of easy dollars that flow from logging operations and natural forest conversion to agriculture, it is clear that this cannot be accomplished without significant compensation to those who forgo the opportunity and perhaps their right to log and convert their forest areas. This is particularly difficult since it is not legally clear just who has the right to forego these opportunities.
Conventional wisdom (status quo) points directly to the central government, forest and agricultural industries and to a somewhat lesser extent, local governments as the stakeholders who will require compensation for the foregone opportunities. Should this prevail, once again we will see millions of rural Indonesians marginalized and under even greater threat of losing their land.
As the World Bank scrambles to take the lead in managing large multilateral funds aimed at addressing the climate crisis, and bilateral development assistance redefines priorities and programs to fit into new climate change mitigation and adaptation frameworks and the voluntary carbon market expands, a question that continues to be ignored is, will this impressive response improve or threaten the lives of local rural peoples?
The recently released UNDP report makes a convincing case of how without serious attention and commitment by the government of Indonesia, its poorest people will suffer most as the climate changes. The report highlights the large amount of investments that will be needed to assist the poor to adapt. What is missing in the presentation is discussion of the political commitment that is required to ensure that Indonesia's rural poor benefit rather than suffer from the financial flows for avoiding deforestation, and adapting to climate change, that will likely result from the post-Bali scenarios.
The provinces of Papua and West Papua are at this time the best example. They take the position that the land and natural resources of the province are under the ownership of Adat or indigenous communities.
Like most provinces in the "outer islands" the majority of the provincial territory is classified "forest area". In the case of Papua and West Papua, the designated forest area is more than 95 percent of the land base. This classification, in accordance with the 1999 forest law, falls under the authority of the Ministry of Forestry to determine. The problem originates from what comes next.
According to the same
law, "forest area" does not mean "state forest area". To be classified
as a State Forest Area, a given forest must be determined to have no
rights existing over the land. The law requires a well-defined process
to be implemented by the Ministry of Forestry to determine whether or
not any such rights exist in a particular forest area.
only 10 percent of the 120 million hectares of forest area has been
fully gazetted as State Forest Area, leaving the status of the
remaining 90 percent of forests undetermined.
An equally important provision of the forestry law allows for the existence of "private forests".
These are areas where land rights over the forest area exist. In the case of Papua, the provincial government clearly states that they view indigenous communities as having land rights over the territories that the Ministry of Forestry has classified as forest areas. As a result, local Papuan communities, by law should have a full say over anything and everything that is planned within their territories. This includes timber concessions, timber plantations, agribusiness such as palm oil estates, and any arrangements that are made to maintain forests through avoided deforestation mechanisms.
A post-Bali challenge for Indonesia will be to legally define and recognize the rights of the end users/beneficiaries, in this case referring to benefits flows derived from reduced emissions from degradation and deforestation (REDD).
Without a legally consistent and verifiable system of benefits flows, any kind of REDD scheme will fail. This will require the recognition of communities who have proprietary rights over the areas in question.
While the evolving legal and policy analysis continues to support the position of local peoples' rights over their natural resources, particularly land, the resistance from Jakarta remains formidable. This is where a significant change in government policy is required. It is legally consistent and appropriate for the government to devolve responsibility for land titling to the Land Administration Agency (BPN) and the protection of forest functions (biodiversity, hydrology, production, etc) to the Ministry of Forestry.
As REDD funds begin to flow, the question of communal title becomes critical. This deals with the fundamental question of who are the final beneficiaries in the chain. Unless this question is dealt with, the risk of only causing greater conflict over land will increase.
Another question is whether, in the short term, the Indonesian government can manage a working administrative and judicial system that will validate the legal basis for communal title in areas where it matters most.
Only then can financial flows aimed at mitigating and adapting local land use in the context of carbon management be effective and socially just. (Avi Mahaningtyas and Chip Fay)

i'm just getting my power supply ready for my amp-6. following problem: the transformer delivers 2x15VDC/4A. as recommended by the manufacturer of the transformer i mounted slow fuses, 4A, between transformer and power connector for the amp. now: when i switch on power, all fuses "go" (as we say in german). tried twice, same result, also if nothing is connected to the transformer. i mounted four fuses, one for each wire coming from the transformer, after the fuses i lead the two currencies together to get 1x15VDC/8A for amp-6 and preamp. no, i didn't short circuit anything. the currency before the fuses is always fine. i use slow fuses, not quick ones.
where's the bug? thanx @ all!

BP Comment Quick Links
January 23, 2013 Collateral DamageA Pain in the HipAlex Rodriguez Last year, Ben and I authored a mini-series focusing on common baseball injuries. One of the best-received articles covered hip injuries, focusing on impingement with labral tears—a condition that is becoming increasingly more prevalent in all athletes. You can read that article here. A quick recap: The labrum is a ring of cartilage that deepens the socket for the femoral head to stay in. Cam lesions are bumps off the femoral head that develop over time. The x-ray below illustrates this more clearly: When the leg is brought up and twisted inward, the femoral head will contact the labrum above it and the rim of the hip socket. At some point during extreme motion, bones will make contact, but in cases of cam impingement, it occurs earlier in the motion. Because of this earlier contact, Rodriguez was more prone to tearing his labrum and cartilage damage. This was not something that developed overnight, or even over the course of the 2012 season. It developed gradually and likely began back when A-Rod was a teenager. Why has he been able to produce at a high level? The body will do almost anything to reach a goal. In this case, Rodriguez's body allowed the joint to get into a position to create enough force to rapidly rotate his hip at least 50 times per day during the season. Over time, the labrum roughens and a tear develops. Before you know it, the articular cartilage softens and wears down, which is the area of greatest concern. For all the advances in medicine, there is still not an optimal method of repairing articular cartilage after injury or osteoarthritis of this nature. Rodriguez was somewhat lucky because he had a significant tear in his labrum but minimal articular cartilage damage. His recovery is going to take most, if not all, of the first half of the season. In 2009, he didn't have a cam lesion burred down, so he was able to return eight weeks after his surgery. In order to determine how much to burr down, the surgeon moves the leg around during surgery, looking to see how severe the impingement is. The extra bone is burred down, temporarily weakening the area until it fully remodels, which takes a while. If the bone was not such an important weight-bearing bone, it might not be an issue, but a fracture in the femoral neck where the bone is burred down could have disastrous outcomes.

There are many who are content to sit over a duck-heavy spread with a dozen Canada dekes pitched on the upwind edge, their reward being the occasional "bonus" goose. But the honker hunters I admire most are those who set up specifically for geese.
New York City has annually culled a portion of its nuisance goose population ever since the birds famously brought down U.S. Airways Flight 1549. I have no problem with goose control, but it did seem a tad wasteful to kill the birds and dump them into a landfill. Fortunately this year the geese will feed needy people in Pennsylvania, thanks to a decision by NYC's Department of Environmental Protection. A common-sense decision rendered by NYC government--imagine that!
Writes Al Swearengen on his YouTube page:
I warned you about hormonal, city geese, did I not? The video below captures a violent encounter between two testosterone-fueled geese. They're entangled like two prize fighthers when suddenly one goose gets the upper-hand, pinching the weaker goose's neck and attempting to choke it out. The weaker goose escapes, but the video doesn't end there—you'll never guess its bizarre conclusion.
My neighborhood's community swimming pool has an unwanted visitor that's severely overstaying its welcome.
As the great YouTube philosopher Antoine Dodson might say, "Hide your kids. Hide your wives. 'Cause the geese are attacking everybody out here!" Suburbia's Canada geese just seem to go insane this time of year. They have little fear of humans, the females get territorial and the lovelorn males just want to fight, all culminating in an extremely high rate of pedestrian-goosings:

If its sheer size doesn't grab your attention, the cecropia moth's arresting coloration certainly will. Markings on this flier's grayish-brown wings include eyelike spots, red and white bands, and a quartet of creamy crescents outlined in reddish orange. Even the moth's red-and-white striped body is interesting.
This lively combination of colors would stand out on the most diminutive specimen, but the cecropia is far from small. With a wingspan that can reach 6 inches, it's the largest moth in North America.
Still, the sizable cecropia often evades notice because it isn't active during the day. The cecropia is attracted to bright lights, however, and people often witness it at night, perched on surfaces next to a light.
An individual cecropia moth isn't around for long. It emerges from its cocoon when the weather gets warm, usually in late May or early June, and it lives for a brief week or two.
This member of the silk moth family, sometimes referred to as a robin moth, has no mouth and doesn't eat. Instead, it focuses its energy and attention on finding a mate, breeding and laying its eggs.
As soon as the female emerges from its pupa, it emits a powerful scent, called a pheromone. This is designed to attract a mate. Males are equipped with larger antennae that allow them to detect these pheromones up to 1 mile away.
Once a pair is established, they stay together for only a few hours. Then the female flies off to lay her eggs. She'll deposit them, as many as 100 at a time, on the foliage of the various host plants. These can include dogwood, box elder, sugar maple, birch, pear, cherry, plum and apple.
By late summer, the hefty green caterpillar, now measuring an impressive 5 inches long, has eaten its fill and is ready to settle in for the winter. It spins a large, weather-resistant brown silk cocoon attached to a branch or tree trunk. This cocoon is tough enough to withstand subzero temperatures. Once spring arrives, a striking adult cecropia emerges and flies off to continue the cycle of life.

I just ordered few pair of clothing on abbeydawn.com webstore,and I ran into some trouble with the payment with mastercard. I bought for 137 USD, but they withdrawed about 730 USD. Which is little too much. I live in Denmark, I never recieved any email confirmation for my order, like it usually goes when you order something online, and while ordering, and filling my card info, it kept telling me, that my card was declined, and that it didn´t match with my adr. info. I called the number that is the abbey dawn website, but no one answered, i called it 4 times,but nothing happened. I also wrote an email, and hoping for an answer, and I also contacted Fraud Management at my Bank. I sure hope that nothing is a scam about this, cause I truely belived that there wouldn´t be any problems.

Recipe by Hidden Valley®
"Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix makes a delicious rub for pork chops in this quick and easy preparation."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (1 ounce) packet Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 (1-inch thick) pork loin rib chops
Dash of paprika (optional)
This is a great recipe. One of my family's favorites. In place of the Hidden Valley Ranch Salad Dressing, I use powdeed butter milk. Works great.
A good basic recipe.
73 Ratings
These were the best pork chops I've ever made. I placed seasonings in a ziploc, shook them up, and put them on the grill. Great reviews from my family.
I used my own homemade dry ranch dressing mix instead of Hidden Valley (same principal, just less salt/more flavor)--other than that I made no other changes. The boys thought this was FANTASTIC, they ate every single pork chop. I served this with Baked Mushroom Rice and steamed broccoli.
Made exactly as described and they were absolutely amazing! My boyfriend and I were 100% satisfied! :)
So easy and really delicious. The chops came out very moist and tender with good flavor
We loved it BUT I didn't have Ranch. I used Green Onion dip that I got from Stater Bros chip isle. I have used it before in recipes and we love it so, I had that already. I added onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and garlic pepper to the dry dip. Man, these were so good and easy. I love not having to fry the chops. My hubby went crazy for these. FYI: I tried it with regular Onion Dip and we didn't like it as much.
My four stars are a compromise. I would give this five stars for ease of preparation and tenderness of the meat, but only three for flavor.

1/14/2008: Burma: USCIRF Urges President Bush to Implement New Policies to Advance Democratic Reform, Respect for Human Rights |
Contact: WASHINGTON—The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom has sent a letter to President George W. Bush urging his administration to make extra efforts to advance democratic reform and respect for human rights in Burma. "U.S. leadership is desperately needed to keep the international focus on demands for democracy and the protection of human rights in Burma," Commission Chair Michael Cromartie wrote in the letter. The Commission has found that egregious violations of religious freedom are central to the military junta's attempts to maintain its power. Following a hearing on Burma that it convened last month, the Commission recommended among other things that the U.S. government establish an interagency taskforce on Burma under the National Security Council (NSC), appoint a Special Coordinator on Burma to further coordinate bilateral and multilateral diplomatic efforts, and continue its firm support for various UN diplomatic efforts. The text of the letter follows. January 11, 2008
The Honorable George W. Bush Dear Mr. President: The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom respectfully urges that you make extra efforts to advance democratic reform and respect for human rights in Burma as a major priority of your Administration and implement new policies to address one of the world's most repressive regimes. Given the brutality of the recent crackdown by the military junta and the reluctance of many countries in the region firmly to condemn the Burmese military's egregious human rights abuses, the Commission believes that political reconciliation and reform will not be realized without determined U.S. leadership. The Commission commends the steps you have taken recently to support the democratic aspirations of the Burmese people, including bolstering U.S. sanctions on Burma and urging the United Nations to take resolute action in the Security Council. Last month, the Commission received testimony on the Burmese military's violent crackdown on peaceful demonstrations led by Buddhist monks and its ongoing abuses against Burma's ethnic and religious minorities, including Muslims and Christians. At the hearing, the Venerable Ashin Nayaka, a prominent Burmese monk, told us that his country is at a critical moment in history. A number of prominent monasteries have been closed, he said, others emptied. Monks have disappeared and the global outcry has waned. In his words, "Strong, effective and timely intervention by the international community is urgently needed. This is a moral crisis that Americans must stand for." The Commission has found that egregious violations of religious freedom are central to the military junta's attempts to maintain its power. Thus, the protection and promotion of religious freedom should be a critical component of U.S. diplomatic efforts and any road map for political reconciliation and democratic reform. U.S. leadership is desperately needed to keep the international focus on demands for democracy and the protection of human rights in Burma. UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has said that a return to the status quo ante in Burma is not acceptable. U.S. leadership is therefore crucial to focus international attention on peaceful democratic change and reform in Burma. The Commission therefore respectfully recommends the following actions regarding Burma for your consideration and implementation. 1. Establish an interagency taskforce on Burma under the National Security Council (NSC), headed by a senior ranking official, to coordinate U.S. government policy and actions on Burma, including sanctions, humanitarian aid, democracy promotion, counternarcotics, trafficking in persons and other policy objectives. The taskforce on Burma should provide regular briefings to the State Department, the NSC, the White House, and congressional leaders that track the activities and the effectiveness of all departments of the U.S. government in:
2. Appoint a Special Coordinator on Burma, with the rank of Ambassador, to further coordinate bilateral and multilateral diplomatic efforts and serve as the Administration's point person for efforts to bring about political reconciliation and democratic reform in Burma. The Special Coordinator should be responsible for coordinating diplomatic efforts and building support for:
The Special Coordinator should hold consultative meetings with representatives of non-governmental organizations that implement programs involving religious freedom and other human rights in Burma, representatives of the Burmese opposition, and other experts, including the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. The Special Coordinator should also be responsible for directing U.S. personnel, including the diplomatic and intelligence communities, to collect information on efforts by the Burmese military to circumvent sanctions and create lists of individuals who bear responsibility for human rights abuses and others who may assist in, or be complicit in, the evasion of sanctions by targeted individuals. 3. In its diplomatic interactions with the government of Burma, the U.S. government should press the government of Burma to:
4. The United States should continue its firm support for various UN diplomatic efforts including:
Mr. President, the Commission is convinced that pressing for the protection of fundamental human rights and political reform in Burma will greatly strengthen peace and stability in Southeast Asia. The United States must take a leading role in this effort to demonstrate our resolve that peaceful progress toward democracy and the protection of human rights, including religious freedom, is in the best interest of all nations.
