Counter terror and human rights: mixed messages in first 100 days
Mixed messages from President Obama after 100 days
© Amnesty International
When he took office on 20 January 2009, President Barack Obama inherited a legacy of torture, impunity and unlawful detention. The legacy is the result of the USA's response to the attacks of 11 September 2001, a response that has been marked by an assault on the international human rights framework.
Human rights violations – including the crimes under international law of torture and enforced disappearance – were not only committed but were also justified by the US government as necessary and legal.
In November 2008, Amnesty International called on US President-elect Barack Obama to reverse the cycle and put human rights at the centre of his administration's approach to counter-terrorism.
When he took office in January 2009, we asked President Obama, during his first 100 days, to take 17 concrete steps towards:
- Closing Guantánamo and ending illegal detention
- Eradicating torture and other ill-treatment
- Ending impunity
At the end of the 100 days it is clear that significant steps have been taken, including some to undo damaging detention and interrogation policies developed under the previous administration.
But other changes have been more symbolic than substantial, and the little action taken by President Obama's administration on accountability for past human rights violations has reinforced the impunity nurtured in the past.
Read our report Mixed messages: Counter Terror and Human Rights – President Obama's first 100 days to find out how far the new administration's initial steps have gone towards meeting Amnesty International's appeal to counter terror with justice.

Further US torture revelations highlight need for independent commission of inquiry
(News, 23 April 2009) Condoleezza Rice approved the use of "water-boarding" in 2002 according to information released on Wednesday by the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
Impunity for CIA torture is incompatible with USA's international obligations
(News, 17 April 2009) US President Barack Obama has announced that CIA agents who used harsh interrogationtechniques on terrorism suspects will not be prosecuted.
USA: Torture in black and white, but impunity continues: Department of Justice releases interrogation memorandums
(Short report, 17 April 2009) On 16 April 2009, the US Department of Justice released, largely un-redacted, four memorandums written in the Department's Office of Legal Counsel in 2002 and 2005. The documents give an insight into how the previous administration lost its legal and moral compass in turning to torture and other ill-treatment in the name of counter-terrorism. The accompanying statements issued by the new President and the Attorney General, effectively conferring impunity for acts of torture, are incompatible with the USA's international legal obligation to bring perpetrators to justice.
USA: Detainees continue to bear costs of delay and lack of remedy
(Report, 9 April 2009) The US administration is committed to closing the Guantánamo detention facility by 22 January 2010. However, the future remains uncertain for the detainees still held there as the executive review of their cases and of US detention policy ordered by the President gets underway. Amnesty International considers it unacceptable that any Guantánamo detainee continues to be held without charge or trial, and calls for each detainee to be either charged with a recognisable criminal offence for trial under fair procedures in existing federal courts or released immediately.
USA: Judicial review and remedy still more myth than reality for Guantánamo detainees
(Report summary, 9 April 2009) Ten months after the US Supreme Court ruled in Boumediene v. Bush that the detainees held in US military custody at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba were entitled to a "prompt" habeas corpus hearing in district court to determine the lawfulness of their detention, only a handful of them have received such a hearing. Amnesty International details its concerns in a new report.
Guantánamo detainees still waiting for judicial review
(Web feature, 9 April 2009) Only a handful of Guantánamo detainees have had court hearings to determine the lawfulness of their detention.
Ireland's offer to accept Guantánamo detainees must be matched
(News, 20 March 2009) The Irish government has offered to accept a small number of Guantánamo detainees who the USA will release but who cannot be returned to their home countries because of fear that they would face human rights violations there.
USA: Different label, same policy?: Administration drops 'enemy combatant' label in Guantánamo litigation, but retains law of war framework for detentions
(Report, 16 March 2009) A memorandum, filed in US District Court on 13 March 2009, sets out the new administration's view of its authority to detain those still held at Guantánamo. In an accompanying press release, the Justice Department emphasized that, in the case of these particular detainees, it was dropping the "enemy combatant" label. Amnesty International considers that it is well past time for the US administration and courts to recognize that the Guantánamo detainees should not continue to be held in indefinite detention without charge or trial.
Transparency on Bagram detentions needed from Obama administration
(News,10 March 2009) A US federal judge has ordered the US government to provide updated information on the detainees held in Bagram airbase in Afghanistan by 11 March.
USA: CIA tapes show need for full investigation into 'war on terror'
(Press release, 3 March 2009) The destruction of almost 100 tapes containing potential evidence of torture and ill treatment of detainees held in secret detention by the CIA illustrates the urgent need for a full independent commission of inquiry into human rights abuses committed by the USA in the name of "countering terrorism", said Amnesty International today.
USA: Guantánamo review fails to address key human rights issues
(Public statement, 25 February 2009) The US Secretary of Defense was required to undertake an immediate review of the conditions of detention at Guantánamo. The review was made public in February 2009.
Binyam Mohamed released from Guantánamo
(News, 24 February 2009) UK resident Binyam Mohamed was released from detention in Guantánamo Bay on Monday and allowed to return to the UK. His family and lawyers, together with human rights activists, including Amnesty International members, had campaigned extensively for his release.
USA: Right to an effective remedy – Administration should release Guantánamo Uighurs into the USA now
(Public statement, 19 February 2009) Amnesty International has for weeks been urging the administration of President Barack Obama to release the Uighurs into the USA. The organization regrets that after a month in office, the new administration has not yet taken this step.
USA: Legal concern/Ill-treatment: Mohammed el Gharani (m)
(Urgent action, 19 February 2009) More than a month after a US federal judge ordered that he be released from Guantánamo, Chadian national Mohammed el Gharani is still being held there. Taken into custody when he was a child, he has spent nearly a third of his life in US military custody.
USA: Obama administration must take new approach on Bagram detentions
(Public statement, 19 February 2009) Amnesty International is urging President Barack Obama and his administration to continue its break from the USA's unlawful detention policies of recent years by ensuring that detainees held in the US airbase in Bagram in Afghanistan have access to the US courts to challenge their detentions.
USA: Out of sight, out of mind, out of court? The right of Bagram detainees to judicial review
(Report, 18 February 2009) In this document Amnesty International urges the new US administration to adopt a position on all US detentions in Afghanistan fully consistent with its international obligations, including in relation to conditions of confinement, interrogation techniques, and procedural rights.
USA: President Obama's orders on interrogations and CIA – historic decisions
(Press release, 23 January 2009) Amnesty International's Secretary General Irene Khan today said President Obama's Executive Orders on interrogations and the end of CIA's secret detention programme is an "historic decision" and "one of the major steps needed towards bringing the USA back in line with international human rights standards."

(News, 22 January 2009) Amnesty International has welcomed the new US administration's moves to suspend military commission proceedings at Guantánamo as a "positive sign".

FDA Advisory Committees:
Process for Recruiting Members and Evaluating Potential Conflicts of Interest
GAO-08-640: Published: Sep 30, 2008. Publicly Released: Oct 9, 2008.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-3407
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been criticized about how it recruits individuals to become members of its advisory committees and how it grants some determinations that allow members with conflicts of interest to participate in committee meetings. Advisory committee meetings can include both standing and temporary members. Temporary members only serve for a particular meeting. GAO was asked to examine FDA's advisory committee processes. GAO reported on (1) how FDA recruited individuals for membership and evaluated candidates for potential conflicts of interest, (2) barriers that were reported to recruiting qualified individuals to serve on committees, and (3) the proportion of standing and temporary members, and the frequency with which members with conflict of interest determinations participated in meetings. GAO reviewed FDA advisory committee policies and analyzed meeting records for FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), and Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). GAO also interviewed individuals familiar with FDA's committee member recruiting process. GAO did not examine the effects of changes in FDA's advisory committee processes resulting from the FDA Amendments Act of 2007 and 2007 FDA policy revisions as it was too soon to assess them.
Prior to the FDA Amendments Act of 2007, FDA employed several methods to recruit candidates for advisory committees and to evaluate candidates by prescreening them for potential conflicts of interest. FDA recruited candidates by announcing vacancies in the Federal Register, distributing recruitment brochures at advisory committee meetings and national meetings, word-of-mouth or asking current advisory committee members, and posting recruitment and conflict of interest information on FDA's Web site. To evaluate advisory committee candidates for conflicts of interest, FDA reviewed the candidates' curricula vitae and usually conducted a prescreening interview. FDA employed many of the same recruitment and evaluation practices used by organizations previously identified by GAO as employing methods that could ensure an independent and balanced advisory committee. FDA faced barriers to recruiting qualified advisory committee candidates, particularly those without potential conflicts of interest, according to FDA officials and former FDA advisory committee members. However, GAO found that the agency may have been able to mitigate these barriers by expanding its outreach efforts. FDA staff and former FDA advisory committee members GAO interviewed generally agreed that individuals with the expertise FDA sought for its advisory committees were the same leading experts that industry sought to conduct research. In addition, word-of-mouth--the advisory committee member recruitment method FDA officials generally agreed was most effective--was limited in the number of candidate nominations it could generate. The FDA Amendments Act of 2007 modifies FDA's process for prescreening candidates for committee membership. Standing and temporary members were 58 and 42 percent, respectively, of the 1,218 participants in the 83 advisory committee meetings held by CBER, CDER, and CDRH in 2004 and 2006 that GAO reviewed. FDA may permit an advisory committee member who has a conflict of interest, or an appearance of a conflict, and whose expertise is needed to participate in an advisory committee meeting under certain circumstances by granting a conflict of interest determination. More than half of the meetings had at least one standing or temporary member with at least one conflict of interest determination. The 200 members found to have at least one conflict of interest determination represented about 16 percent of all 83 meetings' participants. The FDA Amendments Act of 2007 limits the number of certain conflict of interest determinations that FDA can grant and FDA's conflict of interest policy revisions limit the amount of the disqualifying financial interests. In its comments on a draft of this report, HHS noted that on August 4, 2008, after GAO provided the draft report for its review, FDA issued four final guidance documents concerning management of its advisory committees. HHS also provided additional clarifications about aspects of FDA's advisory committees. GAO revised the report to cite the final guidances and to incorporate HHS's clarifications where appropriate.

See Who Got Arrested
This is the largest ship that parbuckling -- the technical term for righting a capsized vessel -- has ever been tried on. Normally the ship would have been blown apart, but that was not an option in this case because the ship was filled with noxious substances and there were two bodies still missing, according to officials with the salvage operation.
Authorities have recovered the remains of the final victim in the Costa Concordia wreck. The ship turned on its side after striking rocks off the Italian island of Giglio on Jan. 13, 2012. Look back on the disaster that killed 32 people.


text:
In this first of an occasional series on the most despotic university in these islands, we would like to introduce you to the university's current dictator, President (definitely-not-for-life) Richard Barnett and his "Cabinet of Horrors"... sorry, I mean senior management team... Like many a uni expansionist Dick interpreted UU's old motto "to build anew" rather too literally and has reduced both his finances and a big district of Belfast, literally to rubble. Possessed with unhealthy ambitions of college lebensraum "Bully Barnett" came unstuck with his central Belfast campus vision. In fact unlike the Pyongyang based Mr. Kim, Dick met the fate of many erstwhile uni super-thugs, known in the murky trade of college politics as "Gadaffi's end". Richard is now on life-support having recently been shafted by his University Council, and will not remain dictator indefinitely. Like the late Libyan Colonel, UU's "lame-duck" President finally got a touch of his own unpleasant medicine as the uni Council forgiving the concurrence of any two (but not three) Presidential neuroses, ultimately deduced their strong man possessed a super-abundance of them all-myopia, incompetence and odiousness. Slightly more reticent than his immediate predecessor, the ousted Gerry "Black Bush" McKenna (a UU despot famed for outrageous drunkenness at University Senate) Barnett prefers "delegated genocide", never wishing to get professorial blood on his decidedly off-the-peg suits. But like Gerry, Dicky also espoused too literally the word "Vice" in "University Vice-Chancellorship" until his campus "killing fields" finally caught up with him.
There comes a time in every dictatorship when cupboards are just too full of academic corruption, closets unhealthily brimful of skeletons, and college basements overrun with the putrefying corpses of sacked lecturers. And so it came to pass that after almost a decade of staff harassment, financial mismanagement, dismal planning and ungodly governance, Dick finally got it in his own nuts. So indeed even now Richard is busily packing his suitcases with his ill-gotten gains of college dictatorship, including his proudly sported Rolex, a bribe for passing all those illiterate students his university loves to recruit from the Middle East. Some would say that he single-handedly brought UU to its knees, but that would mean air-brushing out the rest of the college mafia, the top uni managers who collectively sunk the "good ship Ulster". So with displeasure, I solemnly introduce to you Dick's evil cabinet.....as horrible in appearance as they are singularly heartless. This is a university "A Team" which makes Capone's gangsters look like an ensemble of choir-boys.
Let's start with a vulgar creature who might seem more lion-tamer than human resources gopher in UU's grisly Zoo, one Ronnie Magee, the university's Chief Torturer and Executioner. This is a ghoulish man allegedly responsible for scores of destroyed careers, several staff suicides, numerous forced redundancies and whose very presence is enough to panic the university's immiserated working population. Ronnie who allegedly found "student love" is to inter-personal relationships what Hannibal Letcher is to dinner-time entertainment. This self-confessed socio-path particularly enjoys his job portfolio of "discipline" but rumours are his days are numbered. Having already been formally suspended, his sojourn as UU arch henchman may expire with his master's departure.
Also introducing Deirdre Heenan, Minister of Mis-communication, a lady with a penchant for self-promotion, TV cameras and conjugating in uniform, and who at an early point in her career realized the best route to promotion was not a vertical trajectory but horizontal conviviality. "All frock and no filo-facts" Deirdre had a brief career as a telly don until the questions finally proved too difficult under the glare of live TV. Intensely grilled by BBC Ulster journalists her sickly smile could no longer disguise her intellectual emptiness and she vanished amidst vapors of Austin's couture and cheap perfume.
Hugh Mckenna is Chief of Research and Innovation, sometime country and western crooner and defrocked nurse with all the comforting manners of a pedophile priest. Always a bit crazy, Hugh's start in mental health nursing was a good preparation for the mad-house of UU. It's oft said in health-care a good bed-side manner is critical but Hugh quickly became known in the uni as "`Nurse Death", harkening back to his days as Southern Board's cruel matron espousing the doctrine of "cure or kill". He's put those instincts to use flogging the university's research arm.
Our Finance Chief (inappropriately named) Peter Hope, has labored for years imaginatively mis-juggling the finances of a "no hope" uni. While employed to cook the university books, Peter is a discreet specimen who is actually better known for having almost lost his wife to the uni's former HR director, Brendan "Halifax" Hamilton. Brendan started off his career threatening trainee bank clerks! The latter's liaison with (and unlucky gift of a watch to) Mr. Hope's wife (dishonestly purloined with a university credit card) persuaded UU to call time on Hamilton's job. Our friend "Axe man" Ronnie Magee was instrumental in his former boss's demise! That left the Hope couple intact and despite the bad times for university finance, the name-card on Peter's door remains the only "hope" left in the entire campus.
We would also like to mention Alistair Adair, perhaps a reluctant thug, who asks forgiveness to his God at night for every poor soul he persecutes. Professor of Property Investment and an expert on the Built Environment, Alistair may just be a little too principled for the rest of the management team. Not keen on the university's expansion plan he may survive Barnett's departure but somehow lacks the unwavering ruthlesness needed for the UU "killing machine". It remains to be seen whether he will suffer the fate of another college "year zero" or may yet be the liberator after years of oppression.
Then we have Richard Millar in Planning & Partnerships whose former department accidentally admitted scores of failed students. A man with a mission, this muscular (or maybe just overweight) Christian is proud to be a leading light of British Computing and can rugby-tackle the scrum of Ulster university politics. Indeed his rise was achieved at the expense of UU strong-woman Anne Moran. A former school teacher, Anne was dubbed "Miss Moron" but her sharpened stilettos bludgeoned their way to university power despite her impressive ignorance. Finally Prof Millar slew this she-dragon in a manner that would have made St George proud.
It is hard to find anything interesting to say about Denise McAlister, Teaching and Learning Supremo except that like many health academics if you linger too long around her she is decidedly "bad for your health". Leading "Quality Assurance and Enhancement", Denise would hardly recognize quality if it hit her with a rock.
Finally, Estates Director Paddy Donnelly the "man without a plan". Trusted to spin the uni's expansion and collect back-handers from property moguls, Paddy was almost sacked for being caught in coition with a former lady dean in a college store-room. Unlucky enough to be discovered by an evangelical security guard the latter's complaints about Paddy's impropriety could not be silenced. UU took the predicable decision to lance the boil. They promptly made the poor Christian security man forcibly redundant and let Paddy letch on.
That's all for now from the Democratic Republic of Ulster University. You've met the entire kitchen cabinet, the whole hellish rogue's gallery. Next time we'll introduce you to the university deanship, known popularly as "Dick's dunderheads" at least one of whom does not even possess an undergraduate degree. With such an august team of over-promoted dunces it is hardly surprising that some UU boffins think a "Dean's List" is something you'd find in a posh restaurant. So bon appétit from the cannibals of Ulster University!

Continuing the slim sexiness of the T line, Sony has announced the ultra-compact Cyber-shot DSC-T30. The T30 is a pretty straightforward upgrade from the T9 with just a handful of changes. The T30 looks almost identical to the T9, but will be a available in silver and a sleek black look as well. Look for the T30 at SonyStyle.com in May for around $500.
Spring is finally here and the Canon Powershot A520 is still at the top of our most popular cameras. The rankings are determined by the number of times a particular product page is viewed by our users. The rankings below are from the entire month of March. There wasn't too much change from last month - some minor reshuffling and only one new camera on the list. The Panasonic Lumix FZ7 replaced the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T9.
The Nikon Coolpix P3 was introduced at PMA at the end of February. A member of Nikon's "Performance" Coolpix line, the P3 is targeted at the folks who like a nice compact size with some advanced shooting features, like aperture priority modes and easier control over ISO and white balance settings.
The set of Perfect-Pixs color reference cards provides an easy way to adjust the color on your monitor, adjust your camera, and correct your photos. In this review, we'll take a look at the Perfect-Pixs Card Kit (from Pixel Place) that includes three cards to calibrate your display and correct your images.
Prosumer digital cameras fall into a gray area somewhere between consumer point & shoot digital cameras and entry-level digital SLR cameras. Despite that uncertain classification, they have become increasingly more popular over the past few years. Panasonic's recently introduced Lumix DMC-FZ7 could be the poster child for this class of enhanced usability digital cameras.
We're getting rolling on our review of the Olympus Stylus 710 and wanted to give you our initial impressions of the camera. Announced at the end of January, the Stylus 710 features a 7.1 megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom, 2.5 inch LCD, and the now familiar weatherproof features of the Stylus line.
The new Nikon Coolpix L2, Coolpix L3, and Coolpix L4 were added to Nikon's "Life" line right before the PMA show in Orlando. The "L" line is squarely aimed at the entry-level user and the user looking for a compact, high-quality, easy to use camera.

So tired of this fallacy.
Originally posted on Michael Sherlock Author:
In Memory of Christopher Hitchens
Religious apologists, particularly those of the Christian variety, are big fans of what I have dubbed, the atheist atrocities fallacy. Christians commonly employ this fallacy to shield their egos from the harsh reality of the brutality of their own religion, by utilizing a most absurd form of the tu quoque ("you too") fallacy, mingled with numerous other logical fallacies and historical inaccuracies. Despite the fact that theatheist atrocities fallacy has already been thoroughly exposed by Hitchens and other great thinkers, it continues to circulate amongst the desperate believers of a religion in its death throes. Should an atheist present a believer with the crimes committed by the Holy See of the Inquisition(s), the Crusaders and other faith-wielding misanthropes, they will often hear the reply; "Well, what about Stalin, Pol Pot and Hitler? They were atheists, and they killed millions!"

People often ask me if my life is better now that I've left my religion. My honest answer is that it's a mixed bag. On the negative side, I have to say that the reactions of people who liked me better when I still had faith have been at times very strong. I usually become a target for re-evangelism for a while, but they eventually learn to quit pushing me after they realize that I've heard everything they have to say about this a thousand times. Most people probably just decide I'm being stubborn and/or that the Devil's got me under a spell; but while the pushing may stop, the disappointment lingers on. Some do their best to keep a lid on that, which I appreciate, but you can still hear it in their voices and that can hurt. If you crave the…

I dislike talking about celebrities. However, I fucking hate platitudes.
Any version of the old-timey and crotchety piece of wrong ass shit that came across my screen related to "Taking the easy way out" has to be destroyed, I am sorry.
Four billion years of evolution has imprinted on each cell, every fiber of our very being, the word, "Survive". Every reaction we have, every quick glance to the left and right, that noise that wakes us; is our successful evolution and amazing ability and instinct to avoid death. To fear pain and death.
Going against that instinct, that need and drive to survive is quite literally the opposite of you trite platitude. Again, it is the hardest thing you can do. Doubt me? Give'r a go mate.
Killing yourself is literally the hardest thing you can do. Recognize it for what it was. He suffered from clinical depression and his hippocampus atrophied not responding to any treatments (many causes could be attributed) and his evolved drive to survive and go on failed him; the pain was too great and his body overcame his natural instincts and he ended his pain. Like sawing off a limb that was infected.
His death is only difficult for those that still have a consciousness. He no longer hurts. It is hard on you now, not him. He literally did the hardest thing known to the human mind.
So shut your lying whore mouth.

The Aviary - Chicago IL
At this point molecular gastronomy is near synonymous with Chicago, so it was only a matter of time before a high concept lounge brought in a bag of science tricks to give classic cocktails their own makeover. Little surprise that the joint to do so, The Aviary, comes courtesy of the folks behind Alinea – aka one of the world's leading molecular gastronomy Meccas. Expect overly complicated drinks made using only the freshest, carefully sourced, and procured fresh daily ingredients along with the likes of syringes (you know to in inject your cocktail into a hollow egg of ice), for memorable impact.

It's been sniffles and cold-aches over here the past couple of days. It's always rough to be sick at the same time as the little ones. Quinn gets this super scary croup, totally different than anything Pan ever had (and he had it a lot), which required a trip to the ER the last time it struck. Fortunately, this time, we haven't had to take him in, but I've got one ear on alert all night long, listening for that wheezy breathing. So, we're welcoming this autumn equinox with pots of hot tea, a big batch of soup (I made chicken noodle; Grandma brought over some yummy miso), cuddles on the couch, and movies (Follow that Bird! is on right now. They dig it).
We did make it out for a walk today, despite the not-feeling-good and rainy weather; Pan has been asking us to teach him how to ride his bike. Ha! There was virtually no "teaching" involved. Some things, I guess, you just provide the space and tools and proper equipment for, and they totally figure it out on their own. This was after about 30 minutes.
In some ways, it's actually much easier to sit with the colds now that the heat has eased off. It feels totally inappropriate and disorienting to have a head cold when it's hot outside. And the rain feels an appropriate harbinger of what's to come...

Ya Boy - Holla At Ya Boy ft. Dre
Artist: Ya Boy
Featuring: Cool & Dre
Producer: Cool & Dre
Album: Self-Titled EP
Avg Rating: 5.0 ( 3 votes )
The biggest "thing" in San Francisco is Barry Bonds. Coming in a close second though is Bay Area rapper, Ya Boy. After releasing the single, Holla At Ya Boy, everyone but Ya Boy's home state of California turned their heads. Produced by A-listers Cool & Dre, the beat is banging and the delivery is quite engaging. Minor issue though, Ya Boy seems to be quite a hypocrite. His verses exclaim how different he is from the competition, but in reality his lyrical content is on par with _______ (fill in the blank). Look for his self-titled debut EP to drop before the end of the year.

Do you have screenshots of the manager controls? How does the user create new blog posts with ease and do you have examples of what an expanded post looks like? Rather than just linking the "read more" button to "index".
Also, did you create proper TV's for changing images and content? Or is this just another raw HTML template that was uploaded to MODx and then packaged out as a "MODx theme"

Hello everyone!
Another week gone, means another Feel Good Friday for you, you lucky kids.
Here's a few things, quite a few, in fact several things that have been making us laugh, think and feel empowered this week: Ursula K Le Guin! Toni Morrison! Jessica Williams! Roxane Gay!
And obvious animal videos.
So, read on and enjoy and have a great Friday!
Indian and Cowboy celebrated its one month anniversary a couple weeks ago, congrats! If you have checked it out, do so now. Like, right now.
Hey there!
Here's what has been making me laugh, smile, feel proud and a whole host of other feelings I didn't even know I had this week.
Who doesn't smile when Margaret Atwood chats about libraries? (Well, Doug Ford, but that's beside the point.)
There's lots of other goodies in there for you, so read on and get ready to feel GREAT!
Who doesn't like viral, surrealist anti-comedy that repeats a terrible 1980s family montage for 11 minutes?
A group of students at the University of King's College are calling for better representation of women.
Well hello there!
Glad to see you here for another edition of Feel Good Friday, and this time we've got something a little different for ya.
Nah, kidding, it's all the same: All the good, ridiculous, hilarious and exciting news you can handle!
This week: Halloween costume winners (note: picture of me dressed as Harry Potter noticeably absent), Kinder Morgan keeps getting reject, book clubs, good reads and kittens.
Have a great Friday, and I'll see you next week.
Halloween winners: Ruth 'Baby' Ginsberg and Chanel bag costumes.
Happy Friday and happy Halloween!
Welp. It's been a week. We need some good news.
Maybe it's all a little lighter news this week… but hey! Who doesn't want to watch a video of a porcupine eating a pumpkin?
But, of course, there are also some great wins! that happened this week, for you more serious-minded and less cat video-inclined folks.
So everyone have a safe and happy Halloween. Here are your treats!
Oh Kinder Morgan. When are you going to learn no one wants you in Burnaby!
I'm excited because it's Friday and for the lucky few of us, it means it's the weekend. THE WEEKEND.
And appaprently I'm so excited that I have really taken to the all caps for this edition of Feel Good Friday, hence the "ALL CAPS edition."
Oh, all caps. How would we express our emotions without you or emoticons? I hope I never have to find out.
So get ready to read some GOOD and EXCITING and HILARIOUS and INSPIRING news because it's all below just waiting for you.
CUPW launches a court challenge against ending home mail delivery. We WILL save Canada Post!
Happy Friday everyone!!
It's the long weekend in Canada for some (and probably not for others), but I hope you are having a great week regardless. In the states, it's also the long weekend. How... strange.
There's good news all over the place: Canadian mining companies getting rejected, Christopher Columbus getting rejected, man spread getting rejected. It's grand!
So wherever you are, whatever you're doing and whatever you choose to celebrate or not, have a great Friday and beyond!
Happy reading.
Seattle says "Goodbye Columbus Day. Hello Indigenous Peoples' Day!"
There's nothing like waking up Friday morning thinking it's Saturday, only to have reality smack you in the face.
Luckily, I procrastinated writing Feel Good Friday last night, so had to do it this morning, and now life feels good again.
So there you have it: procrastination is good and Feel Good Friday changes lives. It's been proven. By facts no less.
Annnnd, there's so much good news, good stuff and good fun in this edition of FGF that you're going to be spilling rainbows out of your mouths and puppies are going to dance everywhere... k, that was weird. But, it will make you feel good. I swear.
Here we go!

On this day – February 5, 1945 – General Douglas MacArthur returns to Manila, Philippines
General of the Army Douglas MacArthur was an American general and field marshal of the Philippine Army who was Chief of Staff of the United States Army during the 1930s and played a prominent role in the Pacific theater during World War II. He received the Medal of Honor for his service in the Philippines Campaign, which made him and his father Arthur MacArthur, Jr.
When the Philippines were invaded by the Japanese MacArthur's forces were compelled to withdraw to Bataan, where they held out until May 1942. In March 1942, MacArthur, his family and his staff left nearby Corregidor Island in PT boats and escaped to Australia, where MacArthur became Supreme Commander, Southwest Pacific Area.
After more than two years of fighting in the Pacific, he fulfilled a promise to return to the Philippines. He officially accepted Japan's surrender on 2 September 1945, and oversaw the occupation of Japan from 1945 to 1951. As the effective ruler of Japan, he oversaw sweeping economic, political and social changes.(AP, Wikipedia)
