PM defends gay marriage

David Cameron has defended his plan to legalise gay marriage saying 'I'm a great supporter of marriage'. MPs have backed the plan by 400 votes to 175 in the Commons yesterday.

Live updates

Tory MP suggests gay couples enter a 'life long union'

Andrew Selous, the Conservative MP for South West Bedfordshire, said that the institution of marriage need not be changed for gay couples to express their life long commitment to one another. Addressing the Commons at this evening's debate, he said:

We could create a new term - call it a civil union, call it a life long union. We now have the ability for churches to bless civil partnerships in churches if those churches are willing to do so. I think we had the opportunity to provide the celebration homosexual people are looking for without changing a foundational institution of our country.

Cameron breaks his silence amid party divisions

David Cameron's statement reiterating his support of gay marriage comes after days of silence from the Prime Minister, despite the issue dividing his party in the lead up to today's votes.

Asked why he remained quiet, Mr Cameron said:

I've been very vocal in support of this. I've said that I thought that marriage is a great institution and that it should be there for people who are gay as well as people who aren't. That's why I've pioneered this change.

MPs will vote twice tonight on gay marriage

Two votes will take place at the House of Commons tonight concerning same-sex marriage.

The first concerns the second reading of the Marriage (Same-Sex Couples) Bill, which proposes that gay couples can wed, while including a "quadruple lock" for religious groups who oppose such a union.

This will be a free vote and is expected to pass, despite strong opposition from a large number of Conservative MPs in defiance of the Government's appeals.

The second vote will be on how the legislation will be scrutinised as it passes through the Commons - the Government's programme motion - and MPs will be subject to a three-line whip. Less MPs are therefore expected to defy the whip, although strong opposition is still expected.

Pro gay marriage speeches enjoy cross-party support

Tory MP: Votes against gay marriage will turn off voters

Conservative MP Margot James has said the party faces electoral defeat unless it embraces socially liberal policies.

Ms James, who is gay, claimed the US Republican Party had failed to take the White House last year as a result of a "socially conservative agenda".

With a number of her colleagues preparing to vote against the Government's plans for same-sex weddings, the Stourbridge MP warned:

We may have gone two steps forward, but I fear we may have gone one step backwards. The modernisation of the Conservative Party is not yet complete.

Family question why driver shot

The family of Miriam Carey, the 34-year-old woman shot dead following a dramatic car chase through the streets of Washington that caused a lockdown on Capitol Hill, have said they do not understand why she was shot, when she was unarmed.

Live updates

'No need for a gun' against Washington driver

The sister of Miriam Carey, the 34-year-old mother shot dead by police after trying to ram her car through a White House barrier said there was "no need for a gun to be used."

Speaking outside her home in Brooklyn, retired NYPD officer Valarie Carey said there was a police protocol to deal with people suffering from postnatal depression that should have been followed, and that she did not understand why her sister was shot when she was unarmed.

Family have 'a lot of questions' as to why driver shot

Miriam Carey, the 34-year-old woman shot dead following a dramatic car chase through the streets of Washington, suffered from post-natal depression, her sisters said, confirming what her mother said.

Amy Carey-Jones confirmed her sister had been on medication to help with her postnatal depression, and had endured psychotic episodes.

She said her sister's illness did not impact her loving personality, and said the family had a lot of serious questions over why she was shot dead. Speaking to reporters, alongside her sister Valarie, she said:

"We do not have answers about why they did what they did. They felt she was some particular threat, but Miriam was not firing any shots, there were no weapons, so we are still very confused as a family as to why she is not alive."

"Unfortunately, if people do have moments of crisis, if people do have moments of instability, how do people protect that person? How do they help? How do they operate in a way that contains the situation?"

Driver's mother 'says she had postnatal depression'

The mother of a woman who was shot dead after driving erratically near the White House has said that her daughter suffered from postnatal depression, ABC News reports.

Idella Carey said her daughter, Miriam Carey, suffered from the condition after the birth of her daughter last August, and that she had been "hospitalised".

Postnatal depression is a form of clinical depression that affects mothers after birth.

Authorities prepare to enter driver's apartment building

Police and FBI officials have descended on an apartment building in Stamford, Connecticut where the driver lived.

Residents said they had been evacuated shortly after 5pm local time (10pm UK time).

The female driver who died following a car chase with police near the White House has been named as 34-year-old Miriam Carey from Stamford in Connecticut.

Her former employee at a dental clinic, Dr Barry Weiss, told NBC News she had worked as a dental hygienist and described her as an "average employee".

The Washington Post reports that she graduated from Hostos Community College in the Bronx with an associate's degree in dental hygiene, and appears to have gone on to Brooklyn College to study health and nutrition science.

Baldrick beats Blackadder to a knighthood

It was a cunning plan that even Baldrick could not have imagined, but Tony Robinson is knighted in the Queen's Birthday Honours List - while his boss Blackadder, Rowan Atkinson, becomes a CBE.

Sir Tony Robinson, who received the knighthood for public and political service, vowed: "I pledge that from this day on I'll slaughter all unruly dragons, and rescue any damsels in distress who request my help."

Mr Atkinson said of his CBE: "It came as a genuine surprise and is a great honour."

Rowan Atkinson has been awarded with a CBE at this year's Queen's Birthday Honours list.

The Blackadder actor and star of last year's Olympic opening ceremony has been commended for his services to drama and charity.

Atkinson said the honour "came as a genuine surprise."

The appearance of Mr Bean at the Olympics Opening Ceremony may be the last time we see him for a long while.

Rowan Atkinson has revealed in an interview with the Daily Telegraph that "the stuff that has been most commercially successful for me - basically quite physical, quite childish - I increasingly feel I'm going to do a lot less of."

"I also think someone in their 50s being childlike becomes a little sad. You've got to be careful."

He is to take the lead, serious, role in Quartermaine's Terms in the West End.

Could this be Britain's most unique shed?

The Water Shed turns around 360 degrees twice a day with the tide, meaning the view is constantly changing Photo: ITV News Wales

A garden shed is a very special place for thousands across Wales - but most people don't need to be a strong swimmer, an expert canoeist, or require a small yacht to reach theirs.

The Water Shed at Frongoch Boatyard, near Aberdovey, has won the 'Unique Shed' category in the international 'Shed of the Year' competition, beating 380 rivals to the coveted title.

Owner Geoff Hill must now wait until National Shed Week, which runs from July 2-7, to discover if his plywood pride and joy has won 'Shed of the Year'.

If it does, he's promised to spend the prize money on something 'completely impractical'.

I get quite a lot of people asking: 'Is it an art installation?' or 'Is it an environmental statement?' And I have to point out to them, no it's not - it's... a shed.

– Owner Geoff Hill

The floating shed has been in place since last summer, when it attracted around 10 visitors a day.

Comedian Arthur Smith even gave a performance from the Water Shed earlier this year.

Geoff describes it as a 'bog-standard, flat-pack shed' but adds: "The Water Shed is a shed for anybody. Anybody can go out to it and potter around."

The shed contains a primus stove, cups, teabags and sugar, but visitors are advised to bring some water and milk.

There have, however, been some more unusual gifts left.

Someone left a copy of the Kama Sutra there, along with '101 Things To Do In Your Shed'.

– Geoff Hill

Rob Shelley donned his waders and went to find out more.

Outsourcing and its younger and faster-growing cousin, cloud computing, have come to occupy an increasing amount of time in the planning of CIOs — to the point where some are wondering if they will have a job in five years.

The short answer is, of course they will: Their IT departments may have shrunk, but someone knowledgeable needs to advise C-level executives on information technology strategy.

One of the problems, Joe McKendrick points out in a column for Forbes.com, is that the first choice of organizations, outsourcing IT operations to service providers, doesn’t help lines of business get closer to IT. In fact, he cites a survey that says almost a quarter of outsourcing clients would boot their current provider if they haven’t helped them standardize, automate or transform business processes soon.

This is not a ringing endorsement of outsourcing, and may explain why some organizations are eager to bring IT back into the company.

Is cloud computing the answer? It can bring IT closer to the enterprise in the sense that solutions are narrowly focused — think Salesforce.com for customer relationship management, or Workday for human capital management — and are often subscribed to by lines of business impatient with IT departments slow pace of software development.

On the other hand, cloud apps can be less flexible for some organizational needs. Some, but not all. That’s one of the things CIOs can advise on.

So as outsourcing comes under question, a different type of outsourcing — cloud computing — is elbowing its way in. The advantage, as many point out, is that cloud solutions can free IT staff to addressing other priorities (security, developing apps that the cloud can’t provide). How CIOs structure strategy and counsel both lines of business and the C-level will take strength and insight.

3 Steps to Fend Off Snacking

If you are trying to lose weight, get healthy or both, then too much snacking,especially the wrong kind of snacking, is not your friend! You might be thinking, "What is the problem with a little snacking?" One of the big problems with snacking is that far too many of us choose junk food that is high in calories, chemicals, green supplements can help you stop snacking artificial ingredients, sodium and DNA damaging sugar. In short, most "snack foods" are something that any dieter or person looking to be healthy will want to avoid. There are, however, steps that you can take to keep snacking from wrecking your health and weight loss goals.

Step One-Keep Healthy Snack Food Available

Perhaps the greatest single step you can take to ensure that you don't snack too often is to eat a diet that is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. In this way, your body is receiving the nutrition that it needs; this dramatically cuts down on cravings. Green supplements like All Day Energy Greens and fruit powders like Go Ruby Go! are excellent products to help curb the urge to snack between meals. You can purchase both of these superfood supplements online.

The next step is to have healthy snacks on hand. Foods, such as nuts and seeds, may be high in calories, but they are packed with nutrition and healthy fats. Nuts and seeds are also very satisfying, and you'll feel less like snacking when you consume them.

Step Two-Chia Seeds Are Your Friends

If you are not yet familiar with chia seeds, then you'll love what they can offer. Chia seeds, since they are seeds, are nutrient dense and high in omegas, but they offer even more. Chia seeds are high in soluble fiber and will help you feel full often for hours. Plus, they are high in omega 3 fatty acids, manganese, phosphorus and protein. According to research by the Cleveland Clinic, they even can improve blood pressure in diabetics.

How should you consume chia seeds? Chia seeds don't have a strong taste and, as a result, they can be put in almost anything at all. Chia seeds work very well in shakes, breakfast cereal, yogurt and kefir and many other dishes. A clever way to use chia seeds, and one dieters will love, is to simply add two tablespoons to a glass of water, stir and let the chia seeds sit for about two minutes. This easy step will help you feel full for quite some time.

Step Three-Watch Out for Cravings and Take Proactive Steps to Curb Them!

Cravings are absolutely not a way of life. There is nothing that says that you must access cravings as a part of life. If you do feel cravings coming on, then it is time to take action. Fruits and vegetables are packed with nutrition and like chia seeds, lots of fiber. For example, an entire bag of frozen berries only has about 100 calories on average, but will definitely help you feel full and curb your cravings. Beyond frozen fruit, try making a green drink each morning to make sure you're getting enough fruits and veggies each day. Got a sweet tooth? Mix up a delicious and nutritious fruit powder drink to keep you away from the candy bars. The real trick is to keep your cravings from becoming too intense as this can lead to consuming junk food!

Following these three steps will help you fend off snacking and less snacking means more weight loss and a healthier you. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and particularly chia seeds are extremely useful for helping you keep cravings at bay.

    Now i'm little confused from looks we'll be getting two disc same as ODST one for halo campaigh with halo 3 engine, other is basically reach multiplayer with old remastered maps. Now, they said we would be able to use halo CE pistal if thats true how will this play out in halo reach servers? that makes me believe we will be in same servers but private ones/hidden servers. that still doesn't sit well with me. Also apperently the multiplayer maps from halo CE Ann will later be avalaible for halo reach players to download.
    And I was actually looking forward playing actual halo CE Ann multiplayer away from other halo games, makes me think i'm only paying for half a game like ODST.

Artist Statement

Teaching Philosophy

Iyun Ashani Harrison
Iyun Ashani Harrison
I choreograph dances because that is how I speak most vividly. I experience myself as most holistic and clearly articulated when I move. My work is concerned with athleticism and the potential of the human body – exploring human form and its capacity for deep physicality that conveys emotion, extremeness of bodyline articulation and dynamic shifts in energy and flow. I endeavor to comment on Eurocentric conceptions of beauty by placing Africanist movement values on the classical ballet and traditional modern dance vocabularies that I most often utilize.
Though my work is often formal in its investigation of pure movement and use of bodies in space, I also hope to create work that is accessible to my audience, both in vocabulary and subject. That accessibility must nonetheless be thought provoking – creating spaces for alternative ideas that challenge the conventions presented on the traditional concert dance stage. I challenge ideas of gender in my dances, particularly those that would limit the expressions of masculinity. My themes are often abstract and present themselves as voyeuristic glimpses into the strife and passions of our everyday lives.
Most recently, I have begun exploring dance’s ability to affect the world in a greater way – one that goes beyond simply providing an escape from life. My curiosity has been awakened to common injustices that, as a society, we have come to accept as normal or as rites of passage. I feel compelled to attempt to use my work to challenge these and other issues, such as how people are denied information and are victimized because of their differences and despite extenuating circumstances.
I am not sure if I can provide answers to these questions; however, I hope that in the process of questioning the dance, its purpose, achievements, shortcomings and contributions to the societies in which we present our art that I may arrive at deeper meaning in my work and inspire change.

Confident Girlz brace for Haiti clash

SANJAY MYERS Reporting from the CFU WOMAN’S CHAMPIONSHIP In Trinidad & Tobago

Saturday, August 23, 2014

Print this page Email A Friend!

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad & Tobago — Jamaica's senior Reggae Girlz enter today's Caribbean Cup Group A decider versus rivals Haiti needing only a point to advance to the championship match, but head coach Merron Gordon says he will not set out his team for a draw.

The teams meet at the Ato Boldon Stadium, starting at 5:15 pm Jamaica time. In the opening game of the double-header, Bermuda oppose Puerto Rico at 3 o'clock in a game of little consequence.

The Jamaicans have six points — the same as Haiti — but lead by virtue of a superior goal difference. Both Puerto Rico and Bermuda are without a point.

Jamaica and Haiti have dominated the group thus far and have already confirmed their places at the CONCACAF stage of World Cup qualifying. Jamaica beat Puerto Rico 4-1 in their opening game before demolishing Bermuda in a 9-1 rout. Haiti recorded 5-1 and 4-0 victories over Bermuda and Puerto Rico, respectively.

"We are confident of topping this group and we will be positive," Gordon told the Jamaica Observer.

"The Girlz are motivated and we are building... the first game wasn't so good. The second game was better, so the Haiti game will be even better for us. Once our defensive line comes out concentrating for 90-plus minutes and our attackers are putting away the chances we will win this game."

Richard Adrien, the Haitian manager, said his team enjoyed good pre-tournament preparation and have spent a lot of time together, and though exuding confidence, he said they are wary of the "tough" Jamaican outfit.

Yesterday, the Reggae Girlz had a pool session at the team hotel aimed at relaxation and recuperation ahead of today's key clash against the physical and speedy Haitians.

Jamaica's assistant coach Wendell Downswell, as well as Gordon saw the Haitians in action against Bermuda and Puerto Rico. Gordon is not overly concerned regarding the threat that they could pose.

"The Haitian team is quite organised and you can see they are well coached, but as long as our girls come out and execute, I have no doubt we can beat them. On the other hand, if we come out flat, we can also be on the danger end," he said.

Group B comprises hosts Trinidad & Tobago, Antigua & Barbuda, St Kitts & Nevis and Martinique.

The top team in each of the two groups automatically advances to the championship match, while the second-placed teams will play off for overall third place. However, those top four countries progress to the CONCACAF stage of World Cup qualifying in the United States in October this year.

The Women's FIFA World Cup will be held next year in Canada.

Maple Cake with Indian Pudding Ice Cream and Pumpkin Chips

Sean Callahan

Ten Tables, Boston

The soulful flavors of molasses, maple syrup, and baking spices unite in this comforting dessert.

Yield: 12 servings

Make the pumpkin chips: preheat the oven to 150ºF. Combine the sugar and water in a small pot. Bring to a boil and remove from the heat.

Brush the pumpkin slices with simple syrup and lay them flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Dry in the oven until shrunken and crispy, about 8 hours. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. (Can be made a day ahead.)

Make the ice cream: preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spread out the cornmeal on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Set aside.

In a medium pot, bring the heavy cream, milk, and molasses to a boil.

Meanwhile, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until pale. Slowly pour the hot cream into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Return the custard to the pot and cook over low heat, stirring, until it has thickened and reached 185ºF on a thermometer, about 7 minutes.

Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve. Stir in the toasted cornmeal. Refrigerate overnight. Process the custard in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Freeze until serving.

Make the maple pound cake: preheat the oven to 325ºF. Butter and dust an 8-inch loaf pan with sugar. Set aside.

In a food processor, combine the eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Transfer the egg mixture to another large bowl; whisk in the dry ingredients in 3 additions. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Bake until puffed, golden, and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour, rotating the cakes halfway through the cooking time. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and let it cool for another 10 to 15 minutes on a wire rack.

Top slices of warm pound cake with a scoop of ice cream. Garnish each serving with pumpkin chips if you made them.

Minicar presence gains on automaker innovation

Dragging economic conditions seen helping, hurting sales as tastes turn to smaller cars

Minicars were once regarded by Japanese consumers as second-class, cheap vehicles.

But thanks to their improved quality and unique designs, minicars are gradually gaining a foothold in the automobile market.

Workers assemble minicars at Daihatsu Motor Co.’s Ryuo plant in Shiga Prefecturre.

Buoyed by recent popularity, some automakers have started developing new products for this sector.

These even include foreign firms, which have hitherto avoided minicar production entirely.

“Since 1998, car users who switched to minicars from larger cars have increased, as they found minicar performance pretty satisfactory,” said Osamu Ito, spokesman for the Japan Mini Vehicles Association.

“With the dragging recession, minicars’ relatively low maintenance costs have attracted many car users.”

In October 1998, the width of minicars — vehicles with engine displacements of 660cc or less — was increased by 8 cm to 1.48 meters, while the length was increased by 10 cm to 3.4 meters.

The measure was aimed at bolstering safety standards.

Some of the most popular minicars include Suzuki Motor Corp.’s Wagon R, Daihatsu Motor Co.’s Move and Honda Motor Co.’s Life, all of which sell for 900,000 yen to 1.3 million yen.

Official statistics suggest that Japan’s economic woes have hit minivehicle demand, with sales in the first seven months of 2001 totaling 1.13 million units, down 2.3 percent from a year earlier.

The group says, however, that minicar sales for the entire year will probably exceed 1.8 million, which would mark the third- or fourth-largest total since the minicar association began compiling statistics in 1967.

Automakers explain that the underlying reason for their popularity derives from improved quality and safety, and their fuel efficiency.

Minivehicles also emit less carbon dioxide than normal cars and carry lower taxes.

Automakers say minicars have a wide appeal, particularly in rural areas where public transportation options are limited.

According to a March 2000 report by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, nearly 80 percent of minicar owners use them as second vehicles.

Takaki Nakanishi, a senior analyst for Merrill Lynch Japan Securities Co., said that the unique ideas and concepts adopted by minicar manufacturers have contributed to their sales.

Several manufacturers have, for example, have created a wide variety of vehicles under the umbrella of one brand name. These might include a sporty model, a nostalgic style, a four-wheel-drive version and even models featuring popular characters such as Hello Kitty.

“Minicar makers are coming up with products with fun elements that attract customers who use the cars as if they are (their favorite) toy,” Nakanishi said. “I think other automakers should learn from such efforts.”

Minicars now account for 27.6 percent of cars owned by Japanese. This has prompted Nissan Motor Co. to enter the minicar market next year, via an agreement with Suzuki, the nation’s top minicar maker, which will manufacture minicars to be sold under the Nissan label.

“With the entry of Nissan to the market, all Japanese car manufacturers will be participating in this category, which is great,” Suzuki Motor Corp. Chairman Osamu Suzuki said at a recent news conference. “Minicars will finally be recognized as full-fledged cars.”

In a rare foray for a foreign automaker, DaimlerChrysler AG is scheduled to introduce a minicar version of its Smart Coupe to the Japanese market later this year.

The original Smart Coupe, which has an engine capacity of 598cc, is being marketed under the normal car category because it’s 3.5 cm too wide to be a mini.

The minicar version of the Smart Coupe, which will be produced exclusively for the Japanese market, will be the first imported mini to be distributed here.

Meanwhile, the rapidly growing market for small cars — with engine displacements of around 1,000cc — is expected to provide the minicar market with a fresh challenge.

In addition to popular small cars such as Toyota’s 1-liter Vitz and Honda’s 1.3-liter Fit, more new models are expected to join the small-car market in the near future.

While Nissan is scheduled to release its new March model in February, American giant General Motors plans to market the Chevrolet Cruze, developed on the platform of Suzuki’s 1.3-liter Swift, later this year.

The Cruze will be the first GM car to be designed and manufactured in Asia for the Asia-Pacific market.

“Minicars have been granted full citizenship in the auto market,” said Teruhiro Doi, Daihatsu’s managing director in charge of product planning. “But as competition with small cars intensifies, we will have to expand our product lineup to meet the diverse tastes for customers.”

Nakanishi of Merrill Lynch pointed out that one of the current advantages of owning a minicar — lower taxes compared with that imposed on larger cars — may dissolve in the near future. Nakanishi urged minicar makers to prepare for this development.

Although there is no specific proposal now to change the taxation system for cars, Nakanishi said he is anticipating that a proposed review of public funds currently set aside for road construction may affect the overall taxation system for automobiles.

“If the taxation system changes and minicar makers see no advantage in that respect, they don’t have to stay minicar makers,” he said. “Instead, they should move toward the 800cc to 1,000cc segments that are likely to expand globally.”

U.S. considers military trial for Russian detainee

Dozens of non-Afghans remain in custody as 2014 drawdown nears

The Washington Post

The Obama administration is actively considering the use of a military commission in the United States to try a Russian who was captured fighting with the Taliban several years ago and has been held by the U.S. military at a detention facility near Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan, former and current U.S. officials said.

The Russian is a veteran of the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s who deserted and ended up fighting U.S. forces after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. U.S. officials said the man, thought to be in his mid- to late 50s, is suspected of involvement in several 2009 attacks in which U.S. troops were wounded or killed. He was wounded during an assault on an Afghan border post that year and later captured.

Little else is known about him except for his nom de guerre, Irek Hamidullan.

Any decision to move him to the United States would mark the first time a post-Sept. 11 detainee was brought before a military tribunal here and could lead to a clash with Congress, which has barred transfer to the United States of prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. No similar barrier has been enacted to prohibit the transfer of detainees from Afghanistan, largely because the question has never arisen.

But as it nears the deadline for the drawdown of U.S. forces in Afghanistan by the end of 2014, the administration is faced with what to do with several dozen non-Afghans it retained custody of when it turned over thousands of Afghan prisoners to the Kabul authorities under an agreement signed in March. The remaining 53 third-country nationals are deemed a continuing threat to the United States, according to U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

A senior administration official declined to discuss individual cases and emphasized that no final decisions had been made on how to deal with any of the detainees. “All possible options are under consideration,” the official said.

Because of evidentiary and other problems, only a handful of the detainees, described by officials as in the single digits, are being considered for trial in the United States. Officials think most can be sent back to their home countries, with security guarantees. “Repatriation would be our first option with respect to the vast majority,” the senior official said.

In recent years, several suspected terrorists captured overseas have been secretly charged and moved the United States for civilian trial. But the U.S. has never attempted to bring a detainee into the country, from Bagram or elsewhere, for prosecution by the military.

A military trial is likely to draw flak from human rights activists, who say that only federal criminal courts offer a full measure of justice. Andrea Prasow of Human Rights Watch said the military commissions system at Guantanamo Bay has been plagued with problems and should be shut down, not imported into the United States.

“You can charge people with material support (in federal court) and get a conviction,” she said. “It’s not hard.”

But administration officials said that not every case can be made in federal court and that military tribunals are the proper forum for war crimes. Moreover, they said, inaction risks the release of dangerous terrorists, especially if no agreement is reached with Afghanistan over a reduced, long-term U.S. military presence there after next year.

Among the many lessons of the Iraq withdrawal that the administration does not want to repeat was the transfer to Iraqi custody of third-country nationals. Officials frequently cite the case of Ali Musa Daqduq, a Lebanese citizen suspected of ties to the Hezbollah militant group and Iran, who was captured in 2007 over his alleged involvement in an attack in southern Iraq that killed a U.S. soldier. Four others were kidnapped and later found dead.

Daqduq, the last prisoner held by U.S. forces in Iraq, was turned over to the Iraqi government just days before the final American withdrawal in December 2011. In May 2012, an Iraqi court released him for what it said was lack of evidence.

The Kabul government’s release of many of the 3,000 Afghan prisoners turned over this year, most of them captured on the battlefield, has been taken as a warning by U.S. officials about the future status of the non-Afghans still in American custody. Some of them have been held from the early days of the 12-year-old war.

Unlike in the case of detainees at Guantanamo, U.S. courts have ruled that these prisoners have no right to lodge habeas corpus challenges to their imprisonment. Military officers conduct twice-yearly reviews of their cases in proceedings at which they have no right to outside legal representation, and none has been granted a civilian or full-fledged military judicial process. Although the International Commission of the Red Cross pays them visits, their names and nationalities are officially secret.

Even the number of detainees had been secret until recently. After the prisoner-transfer agreement with Afghanistan in March, President Barack Obama for the first time acknowledged their existence in his biannual letter to Congress, reporting military action under the War Powers Resolution. At that point, they numbered 66. In his most recent report, on Friday, Obama put the number at 53, providing no explanation of what happened to the others.

Six were repatriated last month to Pakistan, a fact revealed only because of a court case in which advocates for the men demanded more information. The case was dismissed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, although documents submitted to the court included a declaration by Paul Lewis, the administration’s newly appointed special envoy for detainee transfers. He said Pakistan agreed to “take responsibility for ensuring, consistent with Pakistan law, that the transferred detainees will not pose a continuing threat to the United States and its allies.”

The bulk of the foreign nationals in U.S. custody in Afghanistan are Pakistani; the others are known to be from Tunisia, Yemen, Uzbekistan and elsewhere.

Military prosecutors have examined the evidence against Hamidullan and consider the case among the strongest that can be brought against any of the foreigners held at the Parwan Detention Facility near Bagram.

“He’s pretty well-connected in the terrorist world,” said one official with firsthand knowledge of the case. Hamidullan is thought to have links to one or more insurgent groups and ties to Chechnya, a part of the Russian Federation where rebels have fought two unsuccessful wars for independence.

Kimigayo rule leaves bad taste

Regarding the March 1 Jiji Press article “Osaka passes ‘Kimigayo’ ordinance”: It is quite right to expect public schoolteachers to stand at attention when the national anthem is played. Showing proper respect for a nation’s flag and other symbols of state should be expected. But should it be a crime to do otherwise?

According to the Osaka Municipal Assembly and Mayor Toru Hashimoto it is. The recent decision by the Osaka city government saying public schoolteachers must stand at attention and sing the Kimigayo at official ceremonies is said to be an attempt to encourage love of country. But you cannot legislate patriotism.

Is forcing teachers against their will to disobey their conscience and sing the national anthem really going to make Japan, supposedly a liberal democracy, a stronger nation-state? In addition to the slight dent of fascism that the Kimigayo ordinance and other such laws have, they are simply a cheap way for politicians to cloak their personal animus in public patriotism.

Rarely does good personal vengeance make for strong public policy. As any good citizen should know, one can allow freedom of expression without agreeing with the opinions expressed.

The opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are the writer’s own and do not necessarily reflect the policies of The Japan Times.

Interrogation recordings pinched

Aspecial panel of the Legislative Council, an advisory body to the justice minister, has included the need to electronically record the entire interrogation process for suspects in its outline of recommendations for reform of criminal investigation and court proceedings.

Although the move will pave the way for the first legislative step requiring police and prosecution investigators to make the interrogation of suspects in criminal cases transparent through such recordings, the scope of crimes in which the recordings will be mandatory is too limited.

The Justice Ministry should drastically enlarge the scope of the recording requirement. Among the matters taken up for the panel’s discussions over the past three years, electronic recording of the interrogation process was the biggest issue.

Establishment of the special panel was prompted by revelations that a prosecutor with the Osaka District Public Prosecutor’s Office had tampered with evidence in the case of Atsuko Muraki, now administrative vice minister of the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry, who had been charged with forging an official document, then acquitted in September 2010.

The panel members include Muraki and movie director Masayuki Suo, director of the 2007 feature film “Soredemo boku wa yatte inai” (I Just Didn’t Do It) — the story of a man falsely accused of groping a female junior high school student on a crowded train.

Although the panel’s original purpose was to find ways to prevent false charges by ensuring transparency of the interrogation process, its proposal fails to make it mandatory for police investigators and public prosecutors to electronically record the full interrogations of suspects in all crimes.

The panel’s outline of proposals says that complete electronic recordings should be made of interrogations in (1) crimes involving lay judge trials such as murder and burglary resulting in death, and (2) crimes dealt with by special investigative squads of the public prosecutors offices. These crimes combined account for only 2 to 3 percent of all criminal cases.

In addition, investigators will not be required to record an interrogation if they determine that the recording makes it impossible to obtain a meaningful confession from a suspect, or when a suspect belongs to an underworld organization and thus fears being targeted for retaliation from other mobsters because of what the suspect has said to investigators.

These conditions mean that, in most criminal cases handled by the police, investigators will not be required to electronically record questions to and answers from suspects under interrogation. During discussions by the special panel members, representatives of the police insisted that the electronic recording of interrogations would hamper investigators’ efforts to get solid confessions from suspects.

Having faced the strong resistance from the police, other panel members, including representatives of the Japan Federation of Bar Associations, proposed that public prosecutors carry out complete recordings of all interrogations, while suggesting that the police start with cases involving lay judge trials with a view toward gradually expanding the scope of crimes in which full recordings of interrogations are made until all crimes are covered.

The end product was a compromise: The panel’s outline, in principle, states that full recordings should be made of interrogations in all criminal cases, but that recordings may be made on a limited scale for the time being.

There is another strong reason for expanding the scope of crimes in which interrogations are fully recorded. The panel’s separate call for the introduction of plea bargaining could increase the chances of suspects or defendants making false confessions and falsely implicating other people in crimes.

To help determine whether confessions in plea bargains are genuine or not, they should be recorded in their entirety.

The Justice Ministry should return to the original goal of making it obligatory to fully record interrogations in all crimes to make it as difficult as possible for false charges and false confessions to take place.

Hamilton Beach® 8-qt. Oval Slow Cooker + Lid Rest

web ID: 7800312

Perfect for large meals, this 8-quart oval slow cooker includes a mess-free, clip-tight lid rest that directs drips back into the dish.

  • lid rest doubles as a cord management system for when cooker is not in use
  • fits up to a 7-pound roast or chicken
  • large, full-grip handles for easy carrying
  • four settings: off, low, high and keep warm
  • removable, stoneware liner and lid

Metal/stoneware/glass. Measures 10½x16¼"x16½"H. Liner and lid are dishwasher safe. Imported.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Very poor quaility I've used this slow cooker half a dozen times now. It definitely runs hot - the "Low" setting is way too high and the "High" setting is more like "Turbo Heat". This was going to be my main slow cooker, but it looks like I'll go back to my trusty 10-year-old 6 quart and just use this 8 quart for when we entertain and can leave it only on the "Keep Warm" setting. The base feels like a very flimsy tin can. I can see it getting dented very easily. Also it doesn't sit evenly - one "leg" is shorter than the other three. I ended up putting rubber pads on the feet because it slides too easily. I was seriously worried it would slide off the counter if my kids bumped it. I like the lid-rest feature but I did notice that because the base is so light, if you lift the crock out of the base while the lid is in the lid-rest, the base tips backwards. I won't be returning it, only because I used a gift card that was set to expire so it didn't cost me much, however I definitely wouldn't pay anywhere near full price for it. February 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by This cooker has plenty of room to cook 2 pork roasts I love this cooker. I cooked pulled pork on low and it was perfectly cooked through and not dry at all. March 9, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by A BIGGER crock pot This crock pot satisfied our need for a bigger crock. The addition to the electrical control of a "keep warm" position is quite fine. I suppose though that the combination lid tilt and cord retainer is sort of awkward for an old fashioned cook. It did not come with a plastic dust cover, but the sale PRICE was right! January 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by I love this crockpot I needed a bigger crock pot for our growing family. This one was decently priced an very big compared to my old one. Works great and lots of room. January 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by 8 qt slow cooker w lid rest slow cooker worked well. it is kind of heavy. lid rest works well. cooked well enough. slow cooker bags were a bit small for it, but we managed to get them to work. it did not hold a turkey as well as I had hoped, so I just lopped off the backbone and side ribs, and that allowed me to cook the turkey in the slow cooker. Actually, it eliminated virtually all of the tiny bones that end up in the liquid when a turkey is cooked in a slow cooker. It was hard to cut the turkey, but after that --- it was smooth sailing. I ended up using the liquid to make turkey gumbo afterwards. (according to my son in law, the best gumbo he's ever eaten.) January 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by The Slow Cooker size is Terriffic! My 77 year old Mother had the same slow cooker for years. The cooker went out right before the Holidays. All she wanted for Christmas was another slow cooker. After much research, I found this Hamilton Beach Slow Cooker at JCP. It was perfect! I had such a hard time finding a slow cooker this size. She loves the larger sized cookers so she can cook roasts and large size meats in it. Being 77 years old, she is not too electronic savvy. This cooker is so easy and simple to use. No hard to understand electronics. Just set and cook. She loves this Slow Cooker. Thank you for making this replacement possible JCP. :) January 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by This product definitely met my expectations! I purchased this product as my first crock pot and I love it so far! It has a high, low, and stay warm feature. I made a chicken dinner in it and I realized my food was done before it was supposed to be, which was a plus. Also, it has a place to wrap the cord around when done. It cooks very well and I will continue to try new recipes in it, very satisfied! July 23, 2014

Fuel sending unit
Quick question about switching out my sending unit. Everything I read online says to stall the vehicle by removing the fuse to the pump to drain the lines of fuel when you remove it. Well since GW have an awesome access panel to the pump without having to drop the take can I just disconnect the wiring while it is running to bleed the lines so I don't spill any fuel?

Thanks for any help. I plan on starting my own thread for all my planned improvements/tinkering later with pics to help other nubs like me.

The unit and the wagoneer

RockRollin 01-18-2014 06:29 PM

If you disconnect the incoming line to the fuel pump, it should drain back to the tank. There really won't be much fuel stored in the lines either way though. Are you replacing the rubber lines while your in there.

jamesmega 01-18-2014 06:54 PM

I hadn't planned on it yet. I don't have any hose. The fuel gauge doesn't register and I wanted to decrease my chances of running out of gas. I thought about doing that later and maybe replacing the tank too.

jamesmega 01-21-2014 09:32 AM

So I got my new sending unit from team grand wagoneer. I decided to test it first. All the connections connect well for my 88 GW. But it didn't solve my problem. The fuel gauge still doesn't move at all. Any suggestions?

RockRollin 01-21-2014 09:39 AM

Check power to the FSU. Multitester, or test light

jamesmega 01-21-2014 10:42 AM

I checked it before and I was getting ~12V. Need to check it again I apparently. It's snowing and I've got a big exam Friday. Guess it will have to wait. I was hoping it would be a "simple" fix. I'm guessing either the ground or the gauge, which they don't sell online for an 88 from what I've seen.

RockRollin 01-21-2014 11:59 AM

Very well could be ground, either at the FSU, or at the gauge. Do you have a meter?

jamesmega 01-21-2014 12:15 PM

I think one of my roommates has one at the house. I usually borrow them at the DIY garages I go to on base.

Not sure what you're talking about. You should have a mechanical fuel pump, not an electric one.

jamesmega 01-23-2014 06:36 PM

What I had watched online must have been from GMs with electric pumps. Regardless the gauge doesn't read testing with the new sending unit. I'll try getting to the gauge to clean connections this weekend to see if that's the issue.

jamesmega 01-31-2014 02:58 PM

So this is where I'm at with trying to get to the fuel gauge. That's about all the wiggle room I have. There are two bundles of wires one round and one flat and the cable to the speedometer. I'm getting voltage to the FSU and have tried multiple grounds with the new unit but no change in the gauge.

Does anyone know what the next steps are to remove the cluster? I'm thinking this maybe way above my PMCS skill level.

jamesmega 01-31-2014 03:28 PM

So I got that round connector off a little and the connections look pretty clean. Continuing to chase my white whale.

jamesmega 01-31-2014 03:33 PM

Another question, I ordered new fuel lines. Do I need to drop the tank or raise the wagoneer to replace? I can use a lift on base at the auto skills center if needed or if it makes it easier. Thanks for the input.

RockRollin 01-31-2014 07:27 PM

You can get some slack for the speedo cable under the hood, enough to disconnect at the cluster. Determine which pin is going to the gauge, and check for power. The gauge cluster grounds to the dash frame, make sure your ground connection is good.

The time now is 10:25 AM.

Jefferson Airplane Newspaper Articles

This is just one. I'll add more. :D

Airplane Success Story: Groovin' Together
Daily Review | Hayward, California | Sunday, August 24, 1969 | Page 61

NEW YORK (DPI) - Grace Slick, songstress-navigator for the Jefferson Airplane, was talking about what, it's like to really be on top."We're kind of dopey.'' she said. "We just record songs and RCA decides what will sell."It had been a frantic two days for the group. They had opened at Manhattan's Fillmore East the night before, playing until about 5 a.m., and the following afternoon, after two more sets at the Fillmore, there was a free concert in Central Park.

But despite the pressures and the excitement, it was quite evident that success has not spoiled the Jefferson Airplane. Collectively, the group still exudes that sort of San Francisco hippie nonchalance that says, I'll just do what I want and if you like it, groovy."The Airplane's reputation". Grace said, "doesn't really apply to us. Reputation depends entirely on who said what about you. It's really all a critics' thing. . . the people who write about rock. "Critics are the people who go out and find people for people to like."But Grace Slick's apparent disinterest with the critics did have its one telling flaw. She had a gripe: "I think a lot of the critics are wrong: they think they're judges."

But the little swipe was the only chink in an otherwise unbridled series of reflections on the current place of the Jefferson Airplane. What now? Would the Airplane make concessions — watering down content or music for the sake of dollars? "I don't know enough about music to make concessions like that." Grace said. "We do what we do because we like it."Her comment spurred Paul Kantner; guitarist and back-up vocalist to add that the Airplane does what it does "not because of what the sound will do to the audience but because of what it will do—period " "If the audience gets going, then we get going."

The Airplane, according t o Grace, who is the daughter of an investment broker, tends to view commercial success from a distance with a considerable degree of disinterest."I get no more involved in it (business activities) than I do when I read something in the
newspaper." she said. "So far as getting ulcers goes, how we're doing in record sales or something like that is about as important to me as my toothbrush." But being on top is fun for the Jefferson Airplane, even if they won't sign an affidavit to that effect.

"Being on top so to speak is a acombintation of so many things." Grace said. "Generally speaking the amount of force reaction you receive corresponds directly with the amount of force you put out."Sometimes it's not all of us that make it at the beginning of a show, but we get together and do something to one another."The Airplane usually gets together pretty well."We've got in groove together, that’s all. Kantner says."Other than that I don’t know what gets us there”.If the "grooving” ever stopped so would the Airplane.Grace was sure.

“To make it you’ve got to play a lot.” She said. “But that’s okay with us because when you love something you do it.” "If we didn't like it we wouldn't continue. Going on under conditions like that would be giving up nine-tenths of a mile for the sake of one tenth.
There was a time when all the people in the village would come out just to smile.
