Keimyung president in hot seatFather-to-son succession stirs dispute By Na Jeong-ju The board of Keimyung University has given another four-year term to its incumbent President Synn Il-hi, raising questions about managerial practices at the private school. Synn's new term will begin on July 7 and he could remain in the position until 2016. That means that the 73-year-old will have served as Keimyung's president for 28 years. He is the longest-serving private school president. Synn's father, the late Synn Tae-sik, was also president of Keimyung. He occupied the position from 1961 to 1978. Synn was chosen as a successor by his father. Now, there is speculation that there could be another dynastic succession of the position because Synn's 44-year-old son works as a professor at the Daegu-based university. The school hired Synn junior, who has U.S. citizenship, in 2009. The president promoted his son the following year to occupy the post of policy planning chief despite questions raised about his qualifications. The school has denied that the younger Synn will succeed his father as Keimyung president, but many both inside and outside the school speculate that he may take over the position in 2016. Many observers say Keimyung is neither owned nor founded by Synn's family. "Keimyung is a private school that has the freedom to choose its own president. However, the majority of students and alumni don't feel good about letting a single family run the school for such a long period of time," said a Keimyung graduate. Corruption at private schools The dispute came amid a series of corruption cases involving managers of private schools. A group of professors at private universities have launched a campaign, calling for the government to revise regulations to make it obligatory for the chairmen and presidents of private schools and their foundations to make their financial assets public knowledge. Under the current law, presidents of state-run universities are required to make their assets public knowledge, but presidents of private schools are exempt. Currently, a number of private universities including Sangji, Sejong and Chosun are under fire for alleged corruption involving school owners and managers. "Private universities account for 80 percent of higher education institutes, therefore we need to verify the integrity and morality of their owners, presidents and their family members," an official from the Korea Association of University Professors said. According to audit results by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, the number of private school staffers caught for corruption surpassed 2,000 over the past three years. In one case, a school founder employed his son as a member of a research team and overpaid him by 17 million won. Some private schools extorted money from professor hopefuls or parents of children applying for the schools. Also, one school founder used tuition money for his private interests. Some universities were also found to have given degrees to graduates who had never participated in lectures. Such corruption cases are largely linked to opaque and questionable management practices at private schools, experts say. "In that sense, the father-to-son succession of presidents at Keimyung could be an example of mismanagement. It can ruin democracy in the school," the official said. |

Excellent article.
I don't understand how there would be any doubt that anyone on a reservation is subject to the Native jusridiction. This is beyond just simple fairness, it leaves Native women utterly unprotected from abuse by outsiders.
The following is a column by Winona LaDuke originally published at News From Winona LaDuke originally published on February 13.
"A nation is not conquered until the hearts of its' women are on the ground…" – Cheyenne proverb
Last week's debate on the Violence Against Women Act marks what may be a very important stage in improving relations between tribal governments, state and federal governments and the protection of women. The law has been up for re-authorization for five years, and has a few sticking points, mostly around the protection of Native and immigrant women, and gay and lesbian people. Republicans until [Tuesday, February 12], had proposed amendments to strip Native American rights and jurisdiction over non- Native perpetrators of violence on the reservation. In what appears to be a change of heart, Tuesday's passage of SB 47 with tribal jurisdiction intact, was a step in recognizing that as Senator Patrick Leahy said, in debates, "… a victim is a victim is a victim…"
Why is this particularly important? Presently, 34 percent of American Indian and Alaska Native women will be raped in their lifetimes; 39 percent will be subjected to domestic violence in their lifetimes; 67 percent of Native women victims of rape and sexual assault report their assailants as non-Native individuals, and, on some reservations, Native women are murdered at more than 10 times the national average. Not good. This set of facts is paired with unfortunately high declination rates: U.S. Attorneys declined to prosecute nearly 52 percent of violent crimes that occur in Indian country; and 67 percent of cases declined were sexual abuse related cases. This means, in the end, that Native women have been, in the words of Senator Maria Cantwell, "treated as second class citizens under the law…"
I asked Lisa Brunner, Executive Director of Sacred Spirits, a national tribal organization working on the issues, her thoughts. "Some of the concern stems from a lack of understanding of tribal jurisdiction, in some cases, tribes are just implementing criminal codes in place which allow this legal process. The answer is to fund the tribal justice system. As well, there are safeguards built into the provision which ensures that all rights guaranteed under the Constitution are given to non-Native defendants in tribal court."
To explain further: "… the special domestic violence jurisdiction is narrowly restricted to apply only to instances of domestic or dating violence where: 1) the victim is an Indian, 2) the conduct occurs on tribal lands; and 3) where the defendant either lives or works on the reservation, i.e., where the defendant has significant ties to the community," the National Congress of American Indians, in their letter to Congress last week explained. NCAI also pointed out that, "Indian tribes are not a racial class, they are a political body – so the question is not whether non-Indians are subject to Indian court – the question is whether tribal governments, political entities, have the necessary jurisdiction to provide their citizens with the public safety protections every government has the inherent duty to provide… Indeed, placing more funding in the hands of state or federal authorities to administer this process, concerns tribes deeply as there has been little, to no action on most of these cases, with 62 percent of the cases being declined for prosecution. "The answer, as in many conflicts, may be education and effort. In this case, it's a combined effort to support justice in the law, and the infrastructure for justice in Native America. The facts are very disturbing. As well, it may be time to understand what a justice system looks like that is multi- jurisdictional. Native people are subjected to both tribal and non-tribal law, and, unfortunately, make up a disproportionate segment of North Dakota's prison population. That's a different issue, but it does seem fair, that non-Native people committing crimes in Indian territory should not be sheltered by a lack of jurisdiction, or in some cases, interest. We will see how the House of Representatives debate goes.
At some level, psychologically and beyond, this is of absolute importance to tribal nations. The ability of a tribal government to protect those who are most vulnerable is crucial to the dignity of a people. The folly of the Supreme Court's Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe decision that precluded tribal criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians on the reservation is apparent. The VAWA brings, frankly into the spotlight, the need to protect tribal citizens, and address protection and prosecution of non-Natives who have chosen to live within Indian country. At some level, if you live there, just as tribal citizens off reservation, it seems fair that jurisdiction should apply. It is also not logistically feasible for federal or state governments to maintain the predominant criminal jurisdictional authority over Indian country. Non-Indian authorities are often situated far from reservations and do not have the manpower to thoroughly investigate and prosecute the high number of reservation crimes that fall under their jurisdiction post-Oliphant. And, as evidenced in the case of violence against Native women, follow through is nonexistent. Native nations have the absolute right and need to protect our citizens.
As Cantwell testified, "The notion that this is somehow abrogating individual rights just because the crime takes place on a tribal reservation is incorrect. So I ask my colleagues, do you want to continue to have this unbelievable growth and petri dish of crime evolving? Because criminals know, when you have a porous border that is where they are going to go."

Excellent article.
I don't understand how there would be any doubt that anyone on a reservation is subject to the Native jusridiction. This is beyond just simple fairness, it leaves Native women utterly unprotected from abuse by outsiders.
what happaned to the old ways of protecting and respecting Indian women ?
This may be a Question of : Diversity Of Citizenship, where the Non-Indian is NOT a Citizen of The Reservation, and a Question of a Qualified Trial Court. of Law..................................................................................................................
Example" Local Justice Courts in many States were required to have a Qualified Sitting Judge to determine the Legality of a Charge against The Defendant.(Writ of Constitutional Habeas Corpus Rights) ........................
The Justice Court Judge previously was not required to have been a Graduate of a Certified Law School, nor a member of The State Bar; which would insure the Professional & Learned Knowledge of a Sitting Judge........................
There was no Statute Requirement mandating The Justice Court having to meet those Certified Qualifications; other then the ability to Read,Write,& be a US Citizen..........................................................................................................
This was changed in Statute Requirements, so as to at least imply that a Justice Court Judge was Legally Qualified to Hear The Matter..................
By Legal Procedure & Local Rules, this would move the Matter to a Federal Court; because of the Diversity of Citizenship automatically would Bar The Local Court from Hearing The Matter - but would be set before a US Magistrate Judge because of the Conflict of Interest generated - which would thereby Re-State The Offense into a Federal Statute Violation of Criminal Code.........................................................................................................
The main argument noted by the Petitioner in this Question is the "Unresponsiveness" of Local Prosecution in the alleged "Crimes Against Persons of Indian Ethnic Origin"; implying that Non-Indians have an Immunity of Prosecution because they are Non-Indian which "Imply's Obstruction of Justice;or Mis-Use of Legal Procedure........................................................
The Reservation Tribunal has the ability and Duty to file a Criminal Complaint with the Local and Federal Jurisdiction in claiming Injury to The Indian Victim;not necessitating that the Female Indian be of a Special Protected Class because of there Sex & Ethnic Origin..........................................
Tribal Law Enforcement have the ability to exercise Joint Criminal Investigations, and Petition Judicial Jurisdiction for Victim Re-dress of a Wrong.........................................................................................................
Civil Claims of Injury may also be submitted on behalf of The Victim for any alleged Civil Rights Violations pertaining to the same event as Constitutional Rights are not denied because of their Ethnic or Gender Origin............
As to Non-Indian's living on NAI Reservations, there appears that to enjoy this benefit; there must be an informed "Rights Waiver" acknowledged by the Non-Indian and Guidance by Benefit of Qualified Legal Counsel as to what Legal Jeopardy they are submitting too - just as a NAI would in submitting to Federal/State/Local Jurisdictions - In other words, "Informed Consent".........
Because of possible Witnessed "Pattern of Conduct" by Local Jurisdictions; there is indeed a sense of bias by NAI as to the "Lack Of Legal Fairness to NAI" in Crimes of Violence being properly addressed by Non-Indian Courts of Law - understandable because of perceived Legal Abuses.....................
I believe that is because of ignorance to Other Legal Procedure Options; which can be addressed in a more Speedy manner by Tribal Legal Counsel.

Anger and disbelief over call to downgrade repatriations
9:30am Saturday 28th September 2013 in News By Tom Jennings, covering Witney and West Oxfordshire. Call me on 01865 425403
The repatriation of Private Robert Hetherington, of The Royal Regiment Of Scotland, at RAF Brize Norton in May
OXFORDSHIRE'S repatriation officials have vowed to never stop holding ceremonies to mark Britain's war dead after a MOD document suggested their profile should be lowered.
A Freedom of Information request has revealed MOD officials considered looking at ways to "reduce the profile of the repatriation ceremonies".
The MOD's development, concepts and doctrine centre – a military think tank based at Shrivenham – made the suggestion in a report in November 2012 as a way of handling "casualty adverse" public opinion.
The document says such ceremonies make the public more uneasy about the idea of sending British troops to war.
Repatriations have largely taken place from RAF Brize Norton since it took on the duty in September 2011 from RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire.
Mourners gather in Carterton to pay respect, while residents also gather in Headley Way, Oxford, on the final turn before the cortege arrives at the John Radcliffe Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
The MOD yesterday distanced itself from the report, although it was unclear when the think tank's idea was rejected. However, the document has sparked outrage.
Royal British Legion Oxfordshire vice-president Mike Henderson lowers the Union Flag at the Carterton memorial garden on repatriation days.
He said: "I think it is a disgusting thing to think about.
"These people seem to have forgotten there are parents, families and friends."
Asked if the ceremonies could be reduced in profile, Mr Henderson said: "No."
Lee Mackie lost her son Jason, 21, to a bomb blast in Afghanistan in 2009 and came up with the idea of the memorial bell that now tolls as the cortege approaches the memorial garden.
Members of the public helped to raise £26,000 to build the bell, which was installed in June last year.
Mrs Mackie said: "The public has every right to have the repatriations carry on just the way they are. I know people want the repatriations to carry on in the same way."
Oxfordshire County Council spokesman Paul Smith said: "As far as we are concerned, there is no change to arrangements we have had in place since September 2011."
An MOD spokesman said: "It is entirely right we publically honour those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and there are no plans to change the way repatriation ceremonies are conducted."

Ian Huggins says...
The separate issue of politics and having the weight of opinion on the side of the incumbent government and it's policies should be the last thing on any one's mind when we are receiving a repatriation.
Shame on you members of the "military think tank", you need to "think" again:
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them. (But bring them back through a nondescript regional airport in an unmarked hearse)??

Google releases a better compression algorithm
Posted Mar 1, 2013 0:08 UTC (Fri) by Zizzle (guest, #67739) [Link]
"7Zip can operate with the deflate format, but it can read and write several other archive formats, and achieve higher compression ratios. In this study we only measured deflatecompatible compression."
I suspect the non-deflate 7-zip or xz would do better than zopfli.
Posted Mar 1, 2013 1:49 UTC (Fri) by rgmoore (subscriber, #75) [Link]
This seems like the core of the article. What Google has done is to create a slightly higher compression ratio version of deflate compression. It's like coming out with gzip that goes up to -12 or -15 instead of just -9. It has the advantage of retaining compatibility with existing decompression programs, but it doesn't offer the larger improvements in space efficiency possible by using a more modern compression scheme like xz.

Indeed, and therefore, HTTP/2 could just as well use xz. (Or any other established LZMA-ish compressor, but picking xz would follow suit with gzip, which was also used for files and tarballs.)
That, and LZO for the ones who like a trade-off into speed over ratio.

Posted Mar 3, 2013 2:08 UTC (Sun) by scientes (guest, #83068) [Link]
both lzo and xz are very useful, but for differn't things, lzo is most useful when only using the compressed data once, and xz when it is write-once read-many, so you can afford the high compression times and memory requirements.
Posted Mar 2, 2013 2:31 UTC (Sat) by csigler (subscriber, #1224) [Link]
That is all :)

I've made it to the second round of a business competition and now need to pitch an e-Learning concept to a panel of judges in order to secure funding.
The idea is fairly unique and involves creating a social network on which users from all over the world can create content and enrol on accredited courses which will lead to real qualifications free of charge. The emphasis is on community involvement and sharing.
Can you make any suggestions as to what my focus should be on during the pitch in order to get across my idea effectively? I would like to make an positive impression in the three minutes I have been given.
Thanks for your time.

Wedding Photographer in London
Welcome to my website portraying my work as a photographer, both in the U.K. and to destinations abroad. It's my passion to find the creativity in life's moments and to find that blend of the artistic with the personal, sometimes by careful planning other times by letting everything happen as it may. Through my photography I strive to show the moment that is and was in each image.
As a photographer and personally I focus on the interactions of friends, family and those everyday moments, those moments that allow someone to appreciate and relive the special moments in their life. I do believe that I am an excellent choice if you are looking for a wedding photographer in London. I like to think I am a relaxed, easy going, friendly person and that I let you know how much I genuinely care about delivering a great service.
I am always willing to offer advice and support so if you have any questions about your upcoming wedding or your photography plans then do give me a call. I am more than happy to chat through the way I can make your wedding day or at the very least your wedding photography something that you will not have worry about. As a wedding photographer in London I am aware that there are a lot of other photographers out there, with many offering bargain basement prices for photography packages.
With your once in a lifetime memories you want to be sure to get someone who willgive you and your images the attention required. So often stories surface of couples who for one reason or another chose a "bargain package" without getting to know what they could expect from the photographer, only to find that they received poor photography images and were terribly unhappy with their finished package. This is simply one of the reasons I will always have a gallery of images available to show my clients that reflect the quality of my work and the time I put into it.
I have a variety of photography packages to suit a range of budgets, and I am always ready to listen to what you need from your photographer and find a plan that is tailored to you and your wedding day.
I also like to meet my clients beforehand so that I can cater to any special needs they may have and find out what sort of images they would want from their wedding or style shoot. So please feel free to get in touch with me and let me know what you would like to get from your photos. I have a vast and varied portfolio which you can browse through at your leisure, so please do have a browser through my site blog page.
As always please feel free to Email or drop me a message on my Facebook Page OR call me if you have questions on 07716 361 862.

Extreme Ice Survey photographic assistant Adam LeWinter climbing in Greenland
Watching a glacier can be like watching paint dry (thus the phrase "glacial speed") — until something happens.
Something happens repeatedly in Jeff Orlowski's fascinating documentary Chasing Ice.
We watch two researchers, cold and bored after long hours manning cameras in Iceland, suddenly turn animated as a huge crack forms in a glacier; a chunk splits off and, like a vast ship, majestically floats away under the icy waters.
Chasing Ice, a winner at numerous film festivals, documents the Extreme Ice Survey, founded by
acclaimed environmental photographer James Balog.
Several years ago, he set out with a small crew to place cameras in various locations in Iceland, Greenland, Alaska and Montana, to document definitively whether the glaciers are receding.
They are — alarmingly so.
The photography is often beautiful (the blue glaciers sparkle in the sun like massive sapphires), but the results are disturbing and sure to convince any climate-change doubters.
In time-lapse photography, glaciers slip away before our eyes, becoming, in Balog's words, "like an old, decrepit man, falling back into the earth and dying."
Although the film is primarily a showcase for Balog's remarkable work, it is also a moving portrait of a man determined to follow his quest — and to educate the world's citizens about climate change — against all odds.
Balog, who has photographs of his daughters taped to the laptop he carries onto the ice, presses on despite several knee difficulties (he has had multiple surgeries) and physical discomfort — determined to one day tell his girls, he says, that he did everything he could.
More than 30 of his cameras are still running today, documenting a slow,
inexorable truth.

Law Enforcement Seized Subsistence Fish During Kuskokwim River BanFederal and state officials seized 21 fishing nets and over 1,000 pounds of salmon from subsistence fishermen in the Kuskokwim River on Wednesday. The seizure comes during a subsistence closure in the lower Kuskokwim River. Federal officials said this year's salmon run is much lower than expected. State and federal wildlife law enforcement conducted a joint operation on Wednesday to enforce conservation measures. During the course of the day, state wildlife troopers and US Fish and Wildlife officers handed out 33 citations, each equivalent to a criminal misdemeanor. A little over a thousand pounds of confiscated salmon went to local charities, troopers said. The native communities of Tuntutuliak and Akiak, who traditionally rely on salmon as a food source, issued statements encouraging residents to fish despite the government ban. The Association of Village Council Presidents plans to meet next week to request that the state issue a disaster declaration in the region. After experiencing low king salmon counts in the Kuskokwim and Yukon Rivers last season, federal wildlife officials predicted a poor to below-average run this season. Officials expected this year to see between 109,000 to 146,000 king salmon in the Yukon River, well below the average 200,000. Test fisheries most recently reported seeing only 25 percent of the numbers of king salmon encountered at this point in 2010. "State and federal managers predicted last winter that this would be a bad year, and the people along the river have known that. We've been communicating that with them regularly, but it's worse than we thought, at least unless the run is very late," said US Fish & Wildlife Service Spokesperson Bruce Woods. Limiting subsistence is not made lightly, meant to conserve fish for healthier runs in the future, said US Fish and Wildlife Service officials. Beginning today, subsistence fishermen are given a three-day opening to use a net no larger than 6-inches in diameter to fish for sockeye and chum salmon in the lower Kuskokwim River, giving fishermen more opportunities upriver as the runs make their way. On the lower Yukon River, subsistence harvest was closed Wednesday and the state will notify fishermen by Sunday, when the next harvest period opens. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Saturday, Sep 29 at 11:43 AM The terminal area fishery should not bare the brunt of conservation.this is federal law in lower 48. Impacts are spread through entire fishery.incidental or targeted.also tbey should be accounted for in high seas trawl fishery.halibut too! said on Wednesday, Jun 27 at 8:31 PM we may have done this to ourselves,being so corporate and forgetting to truly live a subsistant life rather than an urban style of living some of us are getting to use to living.I don't want to be telling my grandchildren remember when...look back to look at our forward mistakes,regulations and resolutions to the needs and wants of not just a few in the end but all that are NATIVE,and non native alike but to the majority involved it is the NATIVES that in the end when trying to help,only ended up hurting ourselves think about it....... said on Tuesday, Jun 26 at 4:38 PM I felt sorry for the state government taking away food from the hungry native people for subsistence that they have practiced for many generation, even prior to statehood. The practice of segregation still exits among native communities today. said on Monday, Jun 25 at 7:36 AM And now for the rest of the story. The fish and wildlife enforcement groups will have plenty of salmon jerky to sale this year. It's to bad the government has the right to take a fish from a hungry family. And then if the family earns enough to pay rent and keep themselves warm. They can't even receive food stamps. The time we live in is coming to massive starvation around the world. said on Saturday, Jun 23 at 7:15 AM Does U.S.Fish & Wildlife understand subsistence. Do they understand hunger while they live in their nice warm houses with their well paid salaries. Add a comment |

Homeland Security:
DHS' Efforts to Enhance First Responders' All-Hazards Capabilities Continue to Evolve
GAO-05-652, Jul 11, 2005
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8757
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The events of September 11, 2001, have resulted in a greater focus on the role of first responders in carrying out the nation's emergency management efforts. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is the primary federal entity responsible for ensuring that first responders, such as police, fire, emergency medical, and public health personnel, have the capabilities needed to provide a coordinated, comprehensive response to any large-scale crisis. In the last 4 years DHS has awarded $11.3 billion to state and local governments to enhance capabilities, primarily to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from acts of terrorism. Presidential directives instruct DHS to develop a national all-hazards approach--preparing all sectors of society for any emergency event including terrorist attacks and natural or accidental disasters. This report addresses the following questions: (1) What actions has DHS taken to provide policies and strategies that promote the development of the all-hazards emergency management capabilities of first responders? (2) How do first responders' emergency management capabilities for terrorist attacks differ to capabilities needed for natural or accidental disasters? (3) What emphasis has DHS placed on funding awarded to state and local first responders to enhance all-hazards emergency management capabilities?
DHS has undertaken three major policy initiatives aimed at creating a national, all-hazards coordinated and comprehensive response to large-scale incidents: (1) a national response plan (what needs to be done); (2) a command and management process (how it needs to be done); and (3) a national preparedness goal (how well it should be done). GAO reviewed these products and determined that each supports a national, all-hazards approach. DHS has developed plans to implement three related programs to enhance first responder capabilities: (1) to assess and report on the status of first responders' capabilities; (2) to prioritize national resource investments; and (3) to establish a national training and exercise program. Implementing these programs will likely pose a number of challenges for DHS including integrating internal and external assessment approaches, assessing state and local risks in a national context to effectively prioritize investments, and establishing common training requirements across responder disciplines. Because terrorist attacks share some common characteristics with natural and accidental disasters, 30 of DHS' 36 capabilities first responders need to support preparedness and response efforts are similar. GAO's analysis found that the baseline capabilities required for terrorist attacks and natural or accidental disasters are more similar for response and recovery and differ most for prevention. Because terrorist attacks are planned, intentional acts, all of DHS' prevention capabilities focus on terrorist attacks, while almost all other baseline capabilities focus on all hazards. Legislation and presidential directives call for DHS to place special emphasis on preparedness for terrorism and DHS has directed that the majority of first responder grant funding be used to enhance first responder capabilities to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks. Nonetheless, grants funds can have all-hazards applications.

- " Don't expect to much for this cheap hostel. It is dirty but the sheeds and towels were clean. The stuff is often overwhelmed and unfriendly (except one of them). If you just wonna sleep and go out it is a great cheap place. If you expect to be more in the rooms or if you wonna use the kitchen you should choose another one. The kitchen is really disgusting. The rooms are also very small and not suited for bigger people. "

- " This hostel was dirty and in an awful condition. They aren't very helpful and if they haven't got more towels or sheets, you aren't getting any.. The rooms are VERY dirty and the beds are awful. Would not recommend this hostel to anyone, even though the location is good, there are plenty hostels and hotels with almost same price that is so much better! "
