Rape In The City Centre
Woman attacked in early hours on New Year's Day
Published on January 3rd 2012.
A WOMAN was raped in Manchester city centre in the early hours of New Year's Day.
"There have been similar incidents in the Northern Quarter but there is nothing to link this incident although we are keeping an open mind."
Police detectives are appealing for at least five people who came to the woman's aid to come forward.
The 39-year-old woman reported the incident to the police when she was at home later that morning.
She had been at the Black Dog Ballroom for the night but the attack took place in an alleyway off Tib Street between the bar and Moho Live, sometime after between 12.10am and 2am on Sunday 1 January 2012.
The woman stayed in the area after the attack and was found by two members of the public who helped her to the front of the Black Dog Ballroom.
Two men and a woman then paid for her taxi home.
The offender is described as being a very tall black man of heavy build in his mid 40s with short hair, large eyes, a big mouth and lips, a prominent nose and flared nostrils and a stubbly face.
He had 'pot marks' across both cheek bones and a thick neck with double chin and creases on both sides of his mouth.
He was wearing dark clothing and a long black coat.
Detective Inspector Mark Hudson said: "The victim has been left badly shaken up by this ordeal. While she is unable to recall exactly where she was and when, she has given a detailed description of the offender.
"I would like to directly appeal to the people who came to the woman's aid to come forward to the police.
"There is every possibility that they did not realise what had happened and therefore may not have thought it appropriate to call the police.
"We are working very hard to try and trace the man responsible. Detectives are carrying out a number of inquiries and we also have specially trained officers speaking to the victim.
"We would also like to continue our message to women going into Manchester to make sure your friends know where you are and that where possible to stay in groups.
Anyone with any information is asked to call police on 0161 856 3240 or call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Barriers to research arise when national ethical guidelines governing the inclusion of consumers in mental health research are implemented at the local level. Equivalent guidelines for research involving carers are not available. A social science investigation of Australian mental health consumer and carer perspectives on research ethics procedures was conducted in two interlinked stages: (a) a discussion forum with consumers, carers, and lived-experience researchers and (b) in-depth interviews with consumers and carers. Data collection and analysis drew strongly on methodological features of grounded theory. Privacy, confidentiality, and stigmatizing ethics procedures were key issues for consumer and carer participants. Recommendations for research practice include the following: considering the impact of information sharing on participants' relationships and adopting individual-focused approaches to managing research risks.

Snake Eyes Release Debut Single
'Don't Worry' is Snake Eyes' very first single and it exemplifies their fuzzed-up, grunged-out pop stylings, or "grit pop", if you will. The track is out now via UK indie Failure By Design. It was the very first song that Brighton-based vocalist and guitarist Jim Heffy wrote for the band "amongst a bunch of naff ones that never made the cut," he admits. "It was short and to the point, had energy and felt like a good way to start a record or a live set. It's written about these lovely ladies I used to work with who would always, always fuss over me. This video shoot was actually the first time we got together as a full band to 'perform'. We didn't fully know what we were doing so had a few drinks to calm the nerves. Not sure if I should say this but the lights we used actually burnt a little hole in the wall so... soz about that to whoever owns the room!"
Heffy conceived Snake Eyes with a bunch of bedroom riffs. To bring the band to life, he brought best mate Nicole Gill, whose voice would blend in seamlessly, on board, teaching her bass in the process. Another friend, drummer Thomas Coe-Brooker, was enlisted to produce the songs and ended up becoming the final piece of the Snake Eyes audio puzzle.
Having only played one actual live show before lockdown kicked in, Snake Eyes are very keen to get out there and start playing to music lovers, live in the flesh. In the meantime, the trio hope their music can provide a certain escapism and leave you dizzy with joy. 'Don't Worry' was produced by Coe-Brooker and the band and mastered in New York by Dan Coutant (Drug Church, Lemuria, War on Women).

WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: And I think a lot of questions still remain as to precisely how Gadhafi was killed. Did that NATO air strike do the job, did the rebels finally do the job? Was he captured alive and then killed? Was he captured alive, then die on the way to the hospital?
Lots of questions still to be resolved. We're watching all of the breaking news unfold. It's been a very, very dramatic moment, indeed.
Hala Gorani and Suzanne Malveaux are with us as well -- Hala.
HALA GORANI, CNN INTERNATIONAL ANCHOR: And, Wolf and Suzanne, we heard from that man there in Martyrs Square, renamed "Martyrs Square," telling Dan Rivers the West, you tried hard to get the rubbish -- I think he used the term "rubbish."
SUZANNE MALVEAUX, CNN ANCHOR: Rubbish.
GORANI: "In the end, it's the Libyans who did it."
So, with Moammar Gadhafi dead, NATO's mission in Libya could be ending soon. The alliance plans a meeting to talk about it.
Retired Army General Mark Kimmitt is with us now from McLean, Virginia. He's also a former assistant U.S. secretary of state.
General Kimmitt, OK. So let's talk about going forward now militarily within Libya. Before we get to that, NATO. What happens now with NATO in terms of its operation in that country?
BRIG. GEN. MARK KIMMITT (RET.), U.S. ARMY: Well, it would appear that NATO is going to be finishing up the mission, handing over responsibility to the TNC. But it will also be going through a reflection on lessons learned on the last six months of operations. They will probably also offer some help in terms of training and assistance for whatever security forces emerge, but there ought to be some hard looks on the part of NATO, what went right, what went wrong for NATO as an institution and as a military organization.
GORANI: Because, initially, as you know, General Kimmitt, the operation was announced as an operation that would last weeks, not months. It lasted certainly months. So these are questions that are going to have to be asked as well in terms of the strategy, the planning going into it.
So what did go wrong in terms of NATO?
KIMMITT: Well, very little went wrong, but I think most people at NATO will take a hard look at some key questions.
Do we have enough precision weapons in our inventories? Do we have enough participation from all the NATO members, not just the eight that participated? Do we have the right kind of equipment for the 21st century? Do we have enough tankers, do we have enough intelligence and, most importantly, do we have enough human intelligence?
These are the questions that hopefully NATO will be asking itself, because this will not be the last operation that NATO's involved in. And what every military organization wants to do is, sure, be triumphant for one day, but going forward, figure out how not to make those same mistakes and how to get better in the future.
GORANI: Well, there was talk before -- when the operation started that an air campaign alone doesn't usually guarantee success. In this case, the air support by NATO countries who participated in the operation did help the rebel forces in the end make those gains and take those last few strongholds.
So what lessons can be learned from that in particular?
KIMMITT: Well, I think the main lesson there is the ability for NATO, as 20 nations in Europe working with local forces -- in this case, the Libyan rebels -- to have not just an air campaign or not just a ground campaign, but a coordinated campaign that takes advantage of foreign forces on the ground, NATO assets being provided to leverage their capabilities, so that they can accomplish their mission.
MALVEAUX: General Kimmitt, this is Suzanne Malveaux. I just wanted to toss in another question, if I can.
What do you suppose the Libyans really need at this moment? What is the most important asset in light of the fact that you still do have or could have people who have melted into society, who used to wear those uniforms in support of Gadhafi? How do you make sure that those folks, the citizens of Libya, are safe?
KIMMITT: Well, first and foremost, the Transitional National Council has got to reach out and offer some sort of amnesty to those former loyalists to Gadhafi and say, look, it's over, you need to come in, you need to be a part of a new Libya. What we can't see, what we must not see in Libya, is what we saw in Iraq, which is, after the downfall, that an insurgency grows or a terrorist threat grows, or we have other kinds of violence, tribe on tribe, east on west, Islamist versus secular.
So, the quickest way to resolve the situation and increase the stability, get the weapons off the street, get the former trained loyalists in the military back into Libyan society, and then go after some of those other threats such as the shoulder-fired weapons that are unaccounted for, the mines that are unaccounted for. Otherwise, we're going to continue to have a very dangerous situation inside the new Libya, the post-Gadhafi Libya.
GORANI: General Kimmitt, let me ask you to compare Iraq and Libya.
We heard after the fall of Tripoli that there were concerns that there would be sectarian conflict or, in the case of Libya, tribal conflict across the country. Is this something that you see happening in Libya with all these differences that we're seeing emerge, even among the revolutionaries?
KIMMITT: Well, it certainly could, and that must be job one of the Transitional National Council, to make sure that the stability holds. There are rifts within the Libyan society. Many of those rifts were induced by Gadhafi.
He favored some tribes, he punished other tribes. There are differences in culture, there are differences in the view of what the next Libya's going to look like. So the TNC has got to come to some sort of accommodation with the society to ensure that this doesn't look like a post-2003 Iraq.
It's interesting to note that the insurgency really didn't start for about a year after the overtaking of Baghdad. What we can't let happen, what the Libyan society can't let happen is that, after the celebration, after a couple of months of not having a common enemy, they start splitting apart into sectarian divisions, political divisions, geographical divisions, and fall into a civil war.
We can't let that happen. We, as part of the international community, must assist the process to ensure that doesn't happen.
GORANI: All right. Mark Kimmitt, General Mark Kimmitt, retired Army general, thanks very much.
That being said, Suzanne, the big mistakes that have been pointed out after the invasion of Iraq, of essentially firing hundreds of thousands of army soldiers, the police being disbanded, all that are not conditions that exist in Libya today. So the hope, at least, is that if there are divisions, that at least they remain political, that they don't descend into open tribal conflict in Libya.
And Libya is a very different country to Iraq in terms of how big its population is, where it's located, and also how the tribes relate to each other. There isn't that Shiite majority and that Sunni minority.
MALVEAUX: And it's a very wealthy country with the oil and the kinds of relationships they have around the country -- around the world, rather.
I want to bring you up to speed here.
If you are just joining us, this is breaking news. Moammar Gadhafi, the former leader of Libya of 42 years, brutal dictator of that country, now dead, confirmed dead. This happened just hours ago.
There are celebrations on the streets of Sirte. That is his hometown. We have seen live pictures of those celebrations, as people fire gunfire into the air, rename the square Martyrs Square.
We've also seen those very graphic pictures that provided a chaotic cell phone image taken of the man believed to be Moammar Gadhafi after a NATO strike on a convoy. Lots of questions in terms of how that happened, but clearly the outcome is that this brutal dictator is dead.
There are a lot of people who are celebrating, and of course there are big questions in terms of the future of the people in that country, and the Middle East in general, whether or not this will bring about an era of peace, whether or not this is certainly a significant moment forward in the Arab Spring, now turned to fall.
So these are questions that a lot of people are looking at the country, the people in the streets, and, wondering where do they go from here? Can this become a democratic society? Is it going to devolve into some sort of violent civil war, or is this going to be a moment where the region is transformed?
GORANI: Make no mistake about it, in Syria, in Yemen, in Bahrain, in other parts of the Arab world, people are watching their satellite news channels today, and they are seeing the death of a long-time dictator. And some might be thinking the same can happen in my country. So that's going to be interesting also to see, the regional reaction.
Wolf, once again in Washington -- Wolf.
BLITZER: Yes. I think even beyond the region, Hala and Suzanne, I suspect people are watching all over the world, including the relationship, let's say, in a remote, isolated, despotic country like North Korea itself. They might be watching what's happening in the Middle East and North Africa right now, wondering, could this potentially even happen in a country like North Korea?
We'll watch that story as well, especially as U.S. talks with North Korean officials resume in Geneva next week.
Let's go to the Pentagon right now. Barbara Starr, our Pentagon correspondent, is watching what's going on.
What are they saying over there, Barbara, about any U.S. or NATO role that may have played a role this morning in killing Gadhafi?
BARBARA STARR, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: Well, you know, Wolf, we don't have the exact details yet, they haven't been confirmed. A lot of discussion this morning about that NATO air strike against a military convoy moving around the city of Sirte, where Gadhafi was killed. Was he in that convoy? There are conflicting reports about that. But as far as the U.S. and NATO goes right now, you should expect to see developments moving very rapidly.
We are told that NATO now will take up the question of whether and when to cut its military involvement in Libya in the next few days. You should expect to see the NATO supreme commander who is a U.S. Navy admiral, Admiral James Stavridis, make a recommendation to NATO that it can wrap it up in Libya since March and get out of there and end its operations.
He's looking at critical intelligence right now about how strong the loyalist forces may be, and the finding, we are told, is that they are no longer able to mount any significant action. We still will see sporadic firefights, we will see still the rebel forces, the TNC now, the interim government, fighting loyalists in some parts of Libya.
I think nobody believes it's all over, but you should expect to see NATO making a public decision in the next several days that it can end its operations over Libya. And that, of course, means that the U.S. can end its participation in those operations over Libya. President Obama, who, in March, when he announced this, thought it would only last a few weeks, can finally say this part of the operation is over -- Wolf.
BLITZER: Is Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in town today? Do we expect any formal statement from him? What are you hearing over there, Barbara?
STARR: He is. Right now we're told not to expect a formal statement from him.
This is all going to be very heavily coordinated, all indications are, through the White House. It will be very touchy business, because the whole mission -- remember, the whole military operation was not to assassinate Moammar Gadhafi.
Convenient though that may be on this day, to the outcome of all of this, NATO and the U.S. consistently said they were not out to kill Gadhafi, they were not targeting him, but that they were going after the regime and the regime's threatening actions against the people of Libya. So this is a case where they want to make very sure that the U.S. and NATO are not portrayed as being in the assassination business in any way, shape or form like they were with Osama bin Laden in that so-called capture, but really kill mission.
This was about going after the regime. So you'll see a little bit of a delicate diplomatic dance here to make sure that they don't say anything too much about it that could make it sound in the Muslim world like they were going out to assassinate this person -- Wolf.
BLITZER: Yes, as they were not only Bin Laden, but Anwar al-Awlaki, the leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, in Yemen. The U.S. killed him as well in that drone air strike.
Hala, don't be surprised -- I wouldn't be surprised if we do hear directly from the president of the United States at some point. I would assume today he'll tell the American people what's on his mind in the aftermath of the death of Moammar Gadhafi.
And we'll also hear from our Jill Dougherty after the break, who is traveling with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She's now in Afghanistan.
We interestingly -- we're going to play this after the break -- heard Hillary Clinton's initial reaction to the unconfirmed early reports that Moammar Gadhafi had been at the time captured. We didn't know that he had been killed.
Jill Dougherty is in fact in Pakistan. We're going to go to her after this. Stay with us.
MALVEAUX: So, it's just two days ago that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was on the ground in Tripoli to meet with Libya's transitional government face to face. Well, she told reporters then that she had hoped that Gadhafi would soon be killed or captured. That wish now has come true.
We want to go to talk with Jill Dougherty, our foreign affairs correspondent, to talk about what's happening next. She is traveling with the secretary, now in Islamabad, Pakistan.
But Jill, first of all, I want you to tell us -- give us a little bit of background here. We know that you were with the secretary in Afghanistan, in Kabul, earlier today. She has been doing a lot of traveling. And I understand that is when she got the news about the fact that Gadhafi might have been killed.
This was between some TV interviews that had happened. And I want to see if we can actually take a look or even hear what her reaction was when she looked at her BlackBerry.
HILLARY CLINTON, SECRETARY OF STATE: Wow.
Unconfirmed reports about Gadhafi being captured. Unconfirmed, yes. We've had too many -- we've had a bunch of those before. We have had him captured a couple of times.
MALVEAUX: Jill, do you think she just had her game face on there? Do you think that she said, "unconfirmed," she was really trying to play it down? But initially, she said, "Wow."
Do you think that she thought this was the real thing?
JILL DOUGHERTY, CNN FOREIGN AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT: Well, I can tell you, we were doing interviews at that moment, and it really was the case that nobody could totally confirm it. And the secretary herself said, there had been reports before. You remember unconfirmed and turning out to be not correct reports for quite a while about Gadhafi is killed, Gadhafi's captured, his sons are killed, his sons are captured. So there were reports all the time.
And she was right, I think, to have some caution. Nobody knew at that point.
But as we sat down and did the interview -- in fact, I talked with her about that. We both agreed that that was a place where there had been these rumors. But then, during the interview, again, not being able to confirm it, she said in an answer to my question, "What would it mean if he really were captured or killed?" And she said, "It would legitimacy and relief," as she put it, for a new government.
And if he were at large and still out there, that he would have continued to present a security problem. And without him, she said -- the secretary said there are still problems, but there's not this organized attempt or, let's say, command and control with his loyalists.
MALVEAUX: So, Jill, what happens next now with U.S. involvement in Libya?
DOUGHERTY: Well, I think it continues pretty much the way it has been, which is encouraging them now to move ahead and form a government, because, you know, there were -- I'll tell you, I was in Libya a few weeks ago, for several weeks, and the mood there was, even if Gadhafi is still out there, he's really kind of past history, he's not really influencing events other than providing a threat, which he certainly was on his people. But what they needed was, once Sirte had fallen, and once he was captured, but especially once Sirte had fallen, then that was a trigger for creating or moving toward creating a new government.
So, as soon as they declare the liberation -- and this is a major step. As soon as they declare the liberation, then they can go forward with a government, then this can go to elections, and things really begin to happen politically. So I would say that the U.S. position is -- continues pretty much what it was, which is encouraging them to create a democracy, transparent democracy, hold elections, and proceed.
MALVEAUX: And Jill, real quick here, the secretary said that she had wished -- she hopes that Gadhafi was either captured or killed. Was there a preference here? Would it have been better for the United States if he was just wounded and he had been taken to the International Criminal Court?
DOUGHERTY: I think that's one of the questions. And we have been in transit, so I am not quite sure of the latest report -- and perhaps you can tell me -- but exactly how he died. Because there is that question, was he captured and then killed? In other words, executed, or was he killed in some type of shootout legitimacy?
Because one thing the National Transitional Council had said -- and the U.S. was urging them very strongly to uphold the rule of law, not to do anything that would be a reprisal to anything like that. And so it will be important, I think, to find out exactly how he died and whether that was, let us say, a legitimate killing in war, or whether it was something else, because that could undercut -- if it were not, it could undercut some of the attempt by the transitional government to say that it's upholding the rule of law.
MALVEAUX: Sure. Jill Dougherty, thank you very much, out of Pakistan.
And Hala, don't you think that's an interesting question, whether or not the Libyan people, would they have been more satisfied if he was hauled before either their justice system or before an international body and brought to justice that way, or if these days -- this moment of celebration really is kind of putting that final point and moving forward for potentially a democratic society?
GORANI: Well, if Libyans are anything like Egyptians, for instance, when you asked them when Hosni Mubarak was detained and now on trial, many of them told me -- they said, Suzanne, look, we want to see him judged. We want to see him on trial. We want him to answer for the crimes that he committed and for all the pain that he forced this country to go through for the last several decades.
So, if they're anything like Egyptians I've spoken to over the last several months, they probably would have preferred a trial. However, it is something that is difficult, it is something that is, in terms of a country like Libya, would be difficult to imagine a justice system that is ready to put together a trial such as that one, Suzanne. So, it is a question going forward, is this a clean slate in one day of killing this brutal dictator, or would it have been better, perhaps even for the unity of the country, to see this man tried?
MALVEAUX: Right. And certainly a lot of people in the international community wanted to see him before the International Criminal Court.
Well, Dan Rivers is in Tripoli right now.
Dan, tell us exactly where you are and what you're seeing right now. I understand it's about -- almost 7:30 p.m. local time where you are.
RIVERS: You're an hour out. It's 6:30 coming out to local time, and this is the scene here.
We have huge numbers of people, Hala, gathered in what they call now Martyrs Square. And a real sense of celebration and of relief and of reflection, I think, as well, thinking back about the sort of horrors of the Gadhafi regime and what these people have endured for 42 years.
You can see them all waving their flags here. A lot of women and children out here as well.
Again, a lot of younger people here have never known anything other than Colonel Gadhafi for the last 42 years. Let's just have a quick -- what's your reaction here?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, our reaction are, we are very free, and I feel that my birthday is today. Really, I feel like I'm 6 hours old. Really. Libya is free without him.
RIVERS: You feel like you've been reborn?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I feel like Libya's been reborn, really. I mean, I can't express my happiness, really.
RIVERS: And is it a disappointment that Colonel Gadhafi will not be put on trial?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, we prefer that we have caught him alive. However, he has gone under -- this is maybe better for his supporters so they don't come out again. You know? So, at the end, the devil is gone.
RIVERS: Is there a danger that some of his loyalists will try to fight on?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No, no, no. We try to be optimistic now, really. Everything you can be is optimistic about, but we are optimistic.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Libya is free. Gadhafi is a killer, killer of people of Libya all six months ago. Now Libya is free without Gadhafi. Thank God.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You are asking now, (INAUDIBLE)? Where is Gadhafi now? Why don't you see?
RIVERS: Well, that's a question that Hala was just posing then.
The same in Egypt, you were saying, Hala. They want to see the evidence, though we had some images put out of what purports to be Colonel Gadhafi's body. But it's very much a kind of feeling here, as you said, that people want to see it. Not everyone here has had a chance to see those images and make their own decisions.
Dan Rivers is live in Tripoli with the mood there on the streets of the Libyan capital on this day, the day Moammar Gadhafi has been killed by rebel forces in Sirte, his hometown. Forty-two years of Moammar Gadhafi.
Dan Rivers there was saying that the children and that the young teenage boys that were in the square hadn't known anything else. But Moammar Gadhafi was in power so long, middle-aged adults hadn't known anything else. So this is a very important transition for Libya.
Wolf, as we continue to see this breaking news unfold from that country, what impact will it have outside of the borders of Libya is an important question we're going to answer as well.
BLITZER: Yes. You remember, Hala, and I'm sure all of our viewers remember, when the U.S., back in May, killed Bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan, how sensitive U.S. military and political leaders were to not showing pictures of Bin Laden and burying him at sea as quickly as possible, in accordance with Islamic tradition, Islamic religious law.
And I sense we're seeing a little different behavior on the Libyan part right now as far as Gadhafi is concerned. But we'll see how it unfolds over the coming hours. It will be a sensitive issue, no doubt about that, as well.
Much more of the breaking news coverage here on CNN right after this.
BLITZER: We're continuing to watch the breaking news coverage, Moammar Gadhafi dead. We've just received some very graphic, dramatic video. Want to warn our viewers that it is dramatic and it is graphic.
A video coming in to us from Al Arabiya, the Arabic language television station. This is what we believe we're seeing here. A wounded Moammar Gadhafi earlier in the day, earlier this morning in Sirte, his hometown in Libya. It looks like he's still alive in this picture, although badly wounded.
He's being taken away. There he is. I don't know if we want to freeze that shot right in the middle. You can see Gadhafi is still alive in this video that Al Arabiya has made available in Sirte.
We are told that he is dead. So he obviously died afterwards. We don't know the circumstances of this. It is still very, very murky. Hala Gorani, Suzanne Malveaux are watching.
You looked at that video, Hala. You know, it's pretty chilling when you think about it that they got him alive, but he's now dead.
GORANI: Well, the question is how did he die? The question is did he die of the wounds that he sustained in this initial attack or was he executed later?
That's a question that's going to be answered in the coming hours or days. But he is clearly alive here. This appears to be Moammar Gadhafi -- it appears as though he's able to stand on his two feet with some assistance.
He's bloodied so he's definitely injured, but then how did he end up dying is going to be the question we're going to want answered as soon as possible.
MALVEAUX: I think Barbara Starr, our Pentagon correspondent, brought up a very good point, and that is that NATO and the United States have always emphasized that the mission was not to assassinate Gadhafi, but rather take out his regime, take out his forces. And so Barbara made that very clear that that was not part of the -- at least of what they said was a plan and so again that does raise questions in terms of how he ended up dying, whether that was simply from his wounds, whether or not someone decided to finish the job and what kind of reaction, what kind of response would that get from the Libyan people and the international community, quite frankly.
BLITZER: I think what they're going to do, guys, they're going to be looking at this video frame by frame by frame, authorities, people all over the world, and the other video that we got, that cell phone video, of Gadhafi dead.
Because there was some suggestion in the other cell phone video also very graphic, it looked like had he a gunshot wound to his head. I wonder if we're going to see a gunshot wound to his head in this earlier video where he's clearly still alive or somebody later after he was captured alive wounded, decided to kill him with a gunshot wound to the head if in fact there was a gunshot wound to the head.
So we'll look closely at these two sources, these two videos to see what we can find out. Let's bring in the former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State James Rubin who's been watching all of these developments unfold.
When you see what's going on right now, Jaime, it is very, very graphic, but it's very murky, the circumstances surrounding Gadhafi's death and whether the U.S. and NATO were directly involved?
JAMES RUBIN, FORMER U.S. ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF STATE: Yes, it is very murky. I think we really ought to distinguish between the various cases that you've described, Saddam Hussein on one hand, Bin Laden on the other, and now Gadhafi.
In the case of Saddam Hussein, he was brought to trial in Iraq, but I don't think the trial yielded the result that people wanted where there was the kind of real justice because it ended so badly with this horrific execution of Saddam Hussein.
And so I think when people are looking at Gadhafi now and saying, OK, what would have happened had he been alive? Would it have advanced the cause of justice? Would the Libyan people have preferred to see that?
The Saddam Hussein precedent wasn't very encouraging and it certainly seems from all the news reports that I've seen today and some of the video and some of the discussions that I've had, it seems unlikely that it was the air strikes that led to this outcome.
The account that seems most credible right now is that the Libyan government forces now came across him. There was a firefight and then it appears to me at least that most likely explanation is that he was executed.
And I just -- because of the nature of that army, that it isn't a formal army getting orders in the kind of organized way the west might envision, this would have happened without plans, but somebody in the firefight just did it before anyone could stop them.
So I guess my instinct is there's not going to be a big outcry in Libya and there's not going to be a big outcry around the world because Gadhafi in the end had almost nobody can be described as a supporter or defender.
And frankly, it avoided the battle that might have occurred over where he was going to be tried and whether the trial could have occurred fairly in Libya.
BLITZER: One of the sensitive issues that the Libyan authorities now are going to have to deal with is what to do with the body. Do they bury the body there? It could become a shrine for Gadhafi supporters.
Do they take the body and bury the body at sea? What do they do with that body right now? I assume they're going to want to do it in accordance with Islamic law.
RUBIN: I think that's right. Again, I would here make -- as I made a distinction between Gadhafi and Saddam before on the trial, let's make a distinction here between Gadhafi and Osama Bin Laden with respect to the burial.
I think the decision to bury Osama Bin Laden at sea was the correct one because he is an individual who potentially inspired many, many, many people around the world to commit terrorism and continued to do that up until the time he was killed.
And frankly, his organization continues to do that. I don't think that's the case with Gadhafi. I don't think he has a following of any significance. He had his family perhaps, some tribe members in the area of Sirte who fought for him, maybe some mercenaries who fought for him.
But nothing like the kind of following that Bin Laden had or even probably Saddam Hussein had in the Sunni-Shiite divide that existed in Iraq. So my guess is they may not feel they need to take the steps that were taken for Osama Bin Laden.
Apparently, the body is in a mosque right now. They'll follow Islamic law and somehow I doubt they'll do a burial at sea and I doubt it will become a shrine to that many people.
BLITZER: All right, Jamie, stand by. We're going to continue watching all of this unfold. Suzanne, we're still waiting for official confirmation from the Obama administration.
Many members of Congress have already made it official from their perspective. They've been told that Gadhafi is dead, but we are waiting for an official statement. It may come at some point. I suspect it probably will from the president himself, but we'll watch and wait and see -- Suzanne.
MALVEAUX: Well, Wolf, we're certainly awaiting the White House briefing to see whether or not the president would come forward. We'll wait and see if he decides that that's the proper time to actually make a statement.
We are also going to be hearing from our Jonathan Mann. He traveled twice to Libya in interviewing Gadhafi and he learned a lot about kind of the strange characteristics of this dictator. He really was -- I've just been told the president is going to be making a statement in the Rose Garden at 2:00.
It is less than -- about 90 minutes away. The president of the United States, Barack Obama, will be making that statement and that will -- he will address the killing of Moammar Gadhafi.
So that's just coming in right now, that the president is going to be making a statement in the Rose Garden before the cameras and before reporters in less than two hours. We'll go to a quick break.
MALVEAUX: So just getting word in now, President Obama's going to be speaking in the Rose Garden at 2:00 this afternoon. That is less than 90 minutes away. He'll be making a statement. We can safely assume that he'll be addressing the breaking news of the day.
Moammar Gadhafi being killed and what will come next when it comes to the U.S. and NATO mission there in Libya. Again, stay tuned for the president's address to the nation, a statement out of the Rose Garden at 2:00 this afternoon.
Want to go to our Jonathan Mann. He's traveled to Libya twice and he has interviewed Moammar Gadhafi, the last meeting back in 2006. Jonathan, you described this kind of as a strange interview. Can you tell us why?
JONATHAN MANN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Absolutely. Make no mistake about it, Moammar Gadhafi was a dictator. He was a sponsor of global terrorism. He has the blood of a lot of innocent people on his hand. But at the same time, there was no getting around it -- he was just plain bizarre.
MANN (voice-over): He was the strangest head of state I've ever met. Moammar Gadhafi received me several years ago for an interview in a large tent in Tripoli, a then-quiet port city where just about every billboard and sign was painted with his picture.
Ronald Reagan once called him a mad dog and Gadhafi's behavior was indeed particular. He was famous for his flamboyant dress, his legion of female body guards, and his bizarre fixations, such as a plan to abolish Switzerland.
In person he seemed lethargic. His eyes even behind sunglasses seemed unfocused. His answers through a translator seemed rambling. We never saw the female body guards and his clothing was relatively low- key.
A camouflage shirt festooned with maps of Africa. But that fly whisk never stopped flying. Libya today is in transition. Its revolution has triumphed and its people are demanding democracy. But when I brought up democracy, he threatened to sue me for slander.
If you or somebody else says Libya is not a democracy, he told us, then it would be considered an insult and maybe we could go to court to redeem honor from that insult.
Back then, Libya was a rogue state trying to redeem itself. It had surrendered its most dangerous weapons to the west. It was trying to open its economy to the world. Its leader was the wild card, the unpredictable element. Now he's gone and Libya's future is the big unknown.
MANN: You know, Suzanne, he was in power for 47 years. I mean, it is astonishing that he was able to hold on so long. He could barely seem to hold a thought. He could barely seem to fix his eyes on any object in particular.
So visiting him in that strange tent on a dirty stretch of patchy grass, it was just hard to figure -- hard to know how a man like that could take and hold a country that should have been rich, should have been free and now may finally have its chance.
MALVEAUX: Yes, he was just 27 years old when he first took power. It's just really kind of a fascinating, bizarre life that he led, and clearly though towards the end and throughout a reign of terror in Libya.
But very colorful person as well and you may recall. I mean, when he was here for the U.N., he was always looking for a place to pitch his tent and caused a lot of controversy.
GORANI: A man of many eccentricities. Of course, it is difficult not to chuckle him when you see him with the fly swatter and the tent and sort of colorful shirt.
But then you also have to put that within the context of this brutal regime, how brutally dissent was squashed in Libya. and there are still, Suzanne, questions about how exactly Moammar Gadhafi died.
We saw a video of him still alive in rebel hands apparently bloodied, but still alive. Then we saw that video of him apparently dead. One thing is certain though -- the face of the Arab world has changed once again.
FOUAD AJAMI, SR. FELLOW, THE HOOVER INSTITUTION: No, I am -- I am -- behind me -- behind me is Stanford and The Hoover Institution.
GORANI: It's Stanford. OK. That's what I thought.
AJAMI: That's -- yes. Yes.
GORANI: So with Stanford University.
So, how does this symbolic -- the symbolic death or killing, I should say, of Moammar Gadhafi change things in the Arab world?
AJAMI: Well, Hala, I should actually be doing -- I should be interviewing you. You've covered that world. You know that world so well.
I was listening to what you said. You're absolutely right. There's a question, would the Libyan people have preferred this man shot dead as we apparently think he was or would they have wanted to hear him? And sometimes, in a way, these death spots, whether it's Mussolini, whether it's Saddam Hussein, it's too bad they only die once. I mean this would be the sentiment of many, many Libyan peoples. For 42 years of tyranny, for 42 years of violence, he only dies once. It's, in a way, it's almost people feel swindled.
GORANI: Right. Well, what difference would it make if it turns out he was executed after capture, if any?
AJAMI: To be honest with you, maybe because I'm a child of Beirut -- none. It doesn't matter to the world. When you consider this man -- and I think Americans -- the American viewers we have should consider this. He is owed justice from this country. He killed about 170 people aboard the Pan Am 103 flight in 1988. So no tears need be shed for this man.
And I don't really spend that much time worried whether he was executed or whether he died in a firefight. We do know that the earlier reports said he came out saying (SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE), "don't shoot, don't shoot." It's amazing how these killers don't want to be killed.
GORANI: Well, I mean I suppose some would say it makes a difference because these revolutions are fought for another kind of Middle East, another kind of Arab country, where there are trials and where there is, as brutal as the person might be, fair treatment -- legal fair treatment of a suspect. So you're saying, in this particular case, no.
AJAMI: Well, look, I mean did the Italian people worry about that -- in the way Mussolini was caught with his mistress and they were both hung by the ankle upside down? It really doesn't matter. I mean it doesn't matter in the end of things when you consider the record of these people.
I suspect -- I suspect he died in this fight. I suspect this is what happened. I think people would not want to execute him because they want to hear from him. They want to hear about them. They want to hear what he did to them.
GORANI: Let me ask you about other countries then. I mean there's Arab satellite channels in the last decade or so. A little more than a decade. The Arab world, as you know, has changed. Because it's not just governments in control of the message. Now it's Arab satellite channels who show these live images of people celebrating in Martyrs Square. They show the cell phone videos of the dead dictator. What's going through the minds of the other dictators right now?
AJAMI: Well, you know, Hala, there's a country you covered and a country we both know, and feel for, and that's Syria. There was a message that was posted on al Jazeera blog and it was from a man named Ahmed (ph) from Alepo (ph). And Ahmed from Alepo says, congratulations to the Libyan people. May the same thing happen here in Syria. So other people will be with -- will be with -- thinking about their own tyrant. The enemies would want the same fate for Ali Abdel Asala (ph). And, obviously, the Syrians want the same fate for Bashar al Assad. And obviously people are thinking of Saddam Hussein coming out of this fighter hole and basically, amazingly enough saying, I'm Saddam Hussein. I'm the president of Iraq and I want to negotiate.
GORANI: Well, let me ask you one last question. And perhaps especially for the American viewers as well as we're broadcasting around the world right now. And that is the risks going forward. These aren't countries that have a tradition of democracy. And these are countries that have a tradition also of factional, of tribal, of sectarian divisions.
So, going forward, how hard is it going to be -- especially when you look at Egypt right now and the transitional army leadership over there, breaking promises and disappointing revolutionaries. Are we looking at years of struggle?
AJAMI: Well, we might be looking at years of struggle, but we also witnessed decades and decades of tyranny and authoritarianism. This is, Hala, the Arab's 1989. This year is to the Arabs what 1989 was to the communist world. And as we looked at the communist world, post- communism was never easy but was good and people witnessed liberty.
I don't want to sit in judgment of this Arab awakening, this Arab spring, in the very same year, in the first year of its eruption. People make mistakes, but the Arabs are now coming into ownership of their own history and we have to celebrate this and remember what this is all about.
GORANI: All right, Fouad Ajami, Middle East expert, always -- and at Stanford University right now, always a pleasure talking to you. Thanks so much.
GORANI: Wolf, back to you in D.C.
BLITZER: He did spend 30 excellent years teaching at my alma matter, the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies but now he's a West Coast kind of guy. Fouad Ajami, thanks very much for that.
All right, let's take a quick break. When we come back, we'll go to the United Nations and see what the world is saying about what's going on. Gadhafi is dead. Our own correspondent, Richard Roth, is standing by to join us. Don't forget also we'll be hearing from the president of the United States. The president will be speaking at 2:00 p.m. Eastern.
But right now in Plymouth, New Hampshire, the vice president, Joe Biden, is speaking. Let's listen.
JOE BIDEN, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: But look how that all came about. For years and years we've been talking about burden sharing in NATO. Everybody carrying their fair share. Not the United States carrying the load and spending all the money for the whole world. So you remember when the president and I came along and said, look, we will support NATO, we'll support NATO, but NATO has to take the lead. That's what it was designed to do. It wasn't supposed to be the U.S. runs NATO. It was supposed to be NATO, which we are a part of, the most important part of, is able to act.
So in this changed world, because of all the different wars and because -- as the two blocks have broken down and there's no -- there's only one super power left and it's no longer this, you know, the way it was when the Soviet Union exists, we have a whole new set of problems. We don't have 18,000 ICBMS aimed at the United States, which is a wonderful thing, but we also have emerging nations in chaos and new movements and the rest.
So in this terrible beauty, this changed -- all changed world. What happened? NATO got it right. NATO got it right. And guess what? Libya, Gadhafi, one way or another, is gone. Whether he's alive or dead, he's gone. The people of Libya have gotten rid of a dictator of 40 years, who I personally knew. This is one tough not-so-nice guy.
And guess what? They got a chance now. But what happened? In this case, America spent $2 billion total and didn't lose a single life. This is more the prescription for how to deal with the world as we go forward than it has been in the past. So that's an example of how the world's beginning to work together a little bit better. Lot of problems out there.
But this is what's going on. And my father and grandfather -- my father's generation went through this after World War II. Well, we're in the midst of going through it now. That's the long answer to your profound question.
BLITZER: All right, we're going to continue to monitor what the vice president is saying in Plymouth, New Hampshire. He's there at a town hall meeting. The vice president saying he's not ready to officially confirm that Gadhafi in Libya is dead. I think he's waiting, as all of us are, for 2:00 p.m. Eastern, a little bit more than one hour from now, when the president of the United States is scheduled to go into the Rose Garden at the White House and speak on Gadhafi's death.
But you did hear the vice president make some important points about what's going on in Libya. First of all he says, it's cost U.S. taxpayers so far $2 billion, but he says that's a lot better than what the previous administration spent to liberate Iraq, close to -- that was hundreds of billions of dollars, if not more than $1 trillion. So some implied criticism of the Bush administration's handling of Iraq as opposed to the Obama administration's handling of the situation in Libya, right there praising NATO and its mission over these past several months.
All right, we'll take a quick break. We're getting ready in an hour or so to hear from the president of the United States. Much more of the breaking news coverage on the death of Moammar Gadhafi in Libya today when we come back.

I devoured your paper when it came yesterday morning.
Like Gordon, I agree that the gist and thrust and theme are all on target. Matt 23 and many other passages apply to our movement and especially to its leadership system. Some things could be stated differently--some things you wrote actually need to be erased and reconsidered--but I am so much in agreement with the content and spirit of your open letter that I feel only the need to commend you.
I've said for years that most of the people we lose walk away due to our controlling leadership style, far more than any other factor. I have been disagreed with and criticized, but am holding my ground. Our numbers-driven style has made people feel disrespected, used, and even belittled. For the sake of our many, many programs, congregations have been deprived of spiritual food and refreshment, and our weak Bible knowledge as a movement is testimony to that. People are crying out to be fed, not with three-point pep-talks but solid exposition of the Word. Our culture of mistrust, monitoring, and even military style ministry moving has backfired and proven its own bankruptcy. We have not led by the golden rule, and all of us are implicated, you and me included. Some spoke out consistently, but were quickly marginalized. Others spoke out sporadically, but most said little if anything. A massive, glaring corporate and collective sin of omission.
Our people noticed this, verbalized it, certainly felt it. Our critics were often more in tune than we were. We would have gone about building our churches very differently if we had not succumbed to short term thinking and humanism. Although I know many will not agree, I still maintain that of our ¼ million ex-members, the majority leave because we fail to be family--from the top down. This makes it so much easier for them to be confused by false doctrine, allured and reclaimed by the world, or alienated in their relationships to members. We err when we blame their leaving on these secondary factors. Most kids do not run away from a loving family. If they do run away, one must look first at the parents. We have done everything but this.
Praise God that at last we are beginning to scrutinize our leadership and spiritual parenting on a large scale. I have a vision of thousands returning to the fold, and of thousands more not even being tempted to leave. So much of our hard work has been wasted, as the vast majority of our members have defected. This is heart-breaking. It is a deep tragedy.
With these things in mind, your letter is most welcome.

Le Gonfalon de saint Bernardin est une peinture de Benedetto Bonfigli, conservée à la galerie nationale de l'Ombrie, à Pérouse, décrite en italien : Cristo Redentore in gloria con san Bernardino da Siena, angeli e offerta dei ceri votivi in onore di san Bernardino.

Histoire
Cette peinture exposée comme tableau aujourd'hui est un gonfalon,  une bannière de procession commandée par la commune de Pérouse, destiné aux célébrations destinées à financer la construction de l'oratoire en l'honneur de saint Bernardin de Sienne, honoré dans la ville.

Le peintre avait déjà réalisé un autre étendard, le gonfalon de San Francesco al Prato, l'année précédente pour le même oratoire, mais pour une autre cause, celle des remerciements à la Vierge pour sa protection contre la peste.

Iconographie
Saint Bernardin, mort en 1444, canonisé en 1450,  intercède auprès de Dieu, pour le peuple de Pérouse (populus perusinus). Il est reconnaissable à son profil (acéré, bouche tombante, verrue sur la joue) et à sa tablette portant le monogramme du Christ IHS.

Description
La partie haute représente Jésus en Dieu souverain, entouré  d'anges, tenant la hampe de son étendard (à croix rouge sur fond blanc) ; devant lui et placé à ses pieds, saint Bernardin porte son monogramme flamboyant, le regard tourné vers lui.

La partie basse représente des monuments de la ville en fond et devant la façade de l'oratoire dédié au saint, terminée en 1462, avec, devant, l'assemblée des fidèles remettant leurs cierges en donation aux Franciscains pour son financement.

Cette assemblée est répartie comme toutes les manifestations religieuses de ce temps séparant les femmes et les hommes. Ici, les femmes ensemble à droite, les hommes à gauche avec les représentants de l'autorité de la cité (l'onoranza).

Sen. Rand Paul Introduces the FAIR Act
November 7, 2017 January 27, 2015 by Gary Kopycinski
WASHINGTON, D.C. –(ENEWSPF)–January 27, 2015. Sen. Rand Paul yesterday reintroduced S. 255, the FAIR (Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration) Act. This legislation would protect the rights of property owners and restore the Fifth Amendment's role in property proceedings. Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI) is the lead sponsor of the FAIR Act in the House of Representatives.
"The federal government has made it far too easy for government agencies to take and profit from the property of those who have not been convicted of a crime. The FAIR Act will ensure that government agencies no longer profit from taking the property of U.S. citizens without due process, while maintaining the ability of courts to order the surrender of proceeds of crime. I will continue to do all I can to protect the rights of Americans and ensure that their Fifth Amendment rights are no longer infringed upon," Sen. Paul said.
"America was founded on the principles of due process and property rights. These principles must be defended, not undermined by a system that allows the government to seize an individual's private property without filing criminal charges. At a time when trust between government and its citizens is quickly eroding, the FAIR Act intends to return the balance of power back to the American people and away from an overreaching federal government," Rep. Walberg said.

Divers: Carol, John and Bert.
Sunday morning 3 VSAG boats and 7 divers headed out of Rye to the Hurricane ship wreck for the Great Victorian Fish Count. The weather was good with a predicted 30 deg and the bay was flat. Following a briefing on the Fish Count process, dive brief and buddy checks we descended down the anchor line on a flood tide. Reaching the wreck at 12 metres the viz was 5 metres with a slight current. The fish count was easy with too many to count for most species. We encountered rays, seahorses, schnapper, old wives, banded morwongs, Scalyfin, sweep, leatherjackets, wrasse, zebra fish and many more. While the aim was to count the fish, the hurricane is an interesting wreck and we will return to focus on exploring the wreck in the near future. After a 40 min bottom time of great scenery it was time to return to the anchor line and ascend to 5 metres for our safety stop before returning to the surface. At the surface we were treated to a Pod of 12 dolphins metres from the boat.
Sounds like bliss, can't wait to get wet now that the weather's warming up!


Abstract: 掃描式電子穿隧顯微鏡 (in situ scanning tunneling microscopy, STM) 和循環伏安法 (cyclic voltammetry, CV) 以及高能量電子繞射 (reflection high energy electron diffraction, RHEED) 被用以探討電鍍在單結晶銥(111)和鉑(111)電極上的汞膜形貌,以及汞膜上的分子吸附和金屬沈積的介面過程。在0.1 M 過氯酸中, STM 圖像顯示汞膜在銥(111)和鉑(111)電極上是以層狀的成長機制成長,在鉑(111)電極上的汞膜(大約1~2層的汞膜),隨著電位移動我們可以發現三種不同的結構,電位0.4 V時,汞吸附在鉑(111)上的結構呈現條紋狀結構,電位0.25 V時,汞吸附在鉑(111)上的結構呈現條波浪狀結構,電位0.1 V時,汞吸附在鉑(111)上的結構呈現(√31 × √31)R8.9°結構,此三種結構會隨著不同電位而改變並且為可逆反應,除此之外我們發現有些區域是合金結構,在X光繞射實驗中,在鉑(111)電極上的汞膜(大約100層的汞膜),我們發現PtHg4的訊號非常的尖銳,這代表PtHg4是一個大範圍規則且完整的結構,在高能量電子繞射實驗中發現,鉑(111)上低覆蓋度的汞膜是和載體鉑(111)夾30°的方向排列上去,在高覆蓋度的汞膜中,我們可以發現PtHg4以及PtHg2 在鉑(111)上是沿著(201)和(1-10)方向成長,我們認為當汞電鍍在鉑載體時表面能量過高,形成鉑-汞合金後將會降低表面能量。 在X光繞射實驗中,在銥(111)電極上的汞膜(大約100層的汞膜),我們得到液態汞的訊號且沒有任何銥-汞合金的訊號,根據 STM 和 CV 的結果,在0.1 M 過氯酸中,電位定在0.2 V,我們可以得到平整且多層的汞膜,借著升高碳針的電位直到1.5 V去蝕刻汞膜,用以證明我們確實得到多層的汞膜,利用升高碳針電位去蝕刻薄膜,我們預期我們可以用不同的電位去蝕刻不同的金屬薄膜,或許可以利用探針來分辨不同的金屬。碘吸附汞膜上在-0.35 V 到 0.4 V的電位區間有許多結構,在負電位-0.35 V時,碘的吸附結構為六方結構,但是每個碘原子並不是吸附在同一個位置上,所以造成表面仍有高低起伏的特徵,當電位在正電位0.1 V時,碘的吸附結構為(8 × 2√31)結構,當我們將電位移到0.4 V時,碘會和汞氧化成碘化亞汞(Hg2I2),我們認為正是因為汞有完整的晶格結構,所以在汞膜上吸附的碘也有完整的晶格結構,根據碘的吸附結構,我們反推下層汞的原子間距為0.31nm,這和文獻中汞原子的原子間距相當吻合。汞膜對於氫氣的產生有較大的過電壓,將一些重金屬電鍍在汞膜上,可以做成薄膜和是一些合金材料,所以利用汞膜去分析重金屬銅和鎘,我們發現銅和鎘都是以層狀的方式電鍍在汞膜上,將鎘電鍍上在汞膜上可以形成大範圍且完整的結構,這個結果對於製造 MCT 這種材料是非常重要的發現,根據 STM 的結果,鎘會和汞形成合金,造成剝除後的汞膜相當粗糙,但是銅卻沒有這些現象,CV的結果顯示鎘在汞膜上的剝除峰比銅還要寬大,我們比較兩者的半高寬,鎘的半高寬為90 mV而銅的半高寬為30 mV,這是因為鎘和汞形成合金後,鎘陷入汞膜裡面,當電位到達鎘的剝除電位之後,鎘必須從汞膜中剝除,銅只是從汞膜表面剝除,所以剝除鎘需要較寬的剝除峰。 In situ scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) have been used to examine mercury films electrochemically deposited onto well-ordered single crystalline electrodes of Pt(111) and Ir(111). In situ STM imaging reveals atomically flat surface morphology of mercury films deposited on ordered Pt(111) and Ir(111) electrodes, implying layer-by-layer growth mode of Hg on these electrodes in 0.1 M HClO4 + 1 mM Hg(ClO4)2. Depending on the amount of Hg deposit on Pt(111) electrode, in situ STM reveals a number of ordered arrays, which could derive from the production of intermetallic compounds with unidentified chemical compositions. These structures could be associated with PtHg2 and PtHg4 characterized by X-ray diffraction methods in previous studies. These ordered arrays of PtHg could be transformed reversibly by the modulation of potential, which could reflect surface alloy and dealloy as a function of potential. Reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) was used to characterize mercury film electrodeposited Pt(111) electrode at room temperature. Depending on the amount of Hg deposit, two different growth modes were observed. At low Hg coverage, crystalline (0001)Hg adlayer accompanied by 30◦-rotated (111)-Pt patches was found on Pt(111). Deposition of multilayer Hg resulted in layered PtHg2 and PtHg4 amalgams, which grew epitaxially by aligning their (201) and (1-10) planes, respectively, parallel to the Pt(111) substrate. The preference of these epitaxial relationships for the electrochemically formed Pt–Hg intermetallic compounds on Pt(111) could result from minimization of the surface energy. In situ STM was also used to examine multilayered Hg film prepared by electrochemical deposition onto well-ordered Ir(111) single crystal electrode in 0.1 M HClO4 + 1 mM Hg(ClO4)2. Topography STM scans discerned the surface morphology of the as-prepared Hg film, but it was difficult to achieve atomic resolution. In potassium iodide solution atomic resolution STM images were readily obtained on the Hg film, revealing the structures of an iodine monolayer adsorbed on this Hg film. Iodine adatoms formed an incommensurate hexagonal array with a nearest neighbor spacing of 0.43 nm at -0.35 V. Shifting potential positively transformed the iodine adlattice into a commensurate (8 ? 2?3)rect structure, which is further converted into another incommensurate structure before the Hg film was oxidized to Hg2I2-like species. The formation of highly ordered iodine adlayers on Hg film indicates that the Hg substrate had to be crystalline at room temperature, which highlights the most intriguing finding of this study. The lattice constant of the Hg deposit is estimated to be 0.31 nm from the structure of iodine adlattice. This is consistent with separate electron diffraction measurements. To gain insights into the electrodeposition of heavy metal on Hg film, we used in situ STM to examine electrodeposition of Cd and Cu on Ir-supported Hg films. The as-produced Cd and Cu films were atomically smooth up to a thickness of 3 - 4 layers. The surface morphology of the Hg film appeared to become roughened after the Cd deposit, but remained mostly unchanged after the deposition and removal of Cu. We found that the surface roughness of Hg film hinges on how much Cd was deposit and how long the Cd deposit was allowed to stay on the Hg film. To further substantiate this issue, we obtained STM results with Hg film electrode coated with sub-monolayer of Cd and Cu. Cu is deposited on Hg film in a layered fashion, producing crystalline Cu film, as revealed by STM atomic resolution. It did not amalgamate with the Hg substrate. Cd is deposited in a layered fashion, producing Cd film on Hg film. It amalgamates with Hg film easily, which is responsible for the broader stripping peak, as compared to Cu. These STM results are useful in improving the understanding of the use Hg as the electrode for stripping analysis.

Scott Fabino was born and raised in Austin, in a 1970s middle class Italian community around North and Central. His parents led the Greater Austin Boys Club in the 1980s. Going through school at Ella Flagg Young and St. Patricks, Fabino found he enjoyed building, fixing and painting houses and could make a good living doing it.
He's worked on bungalows, Frank Lloyd Wright houses in Oak Park and Austin, and grand Victorian houses like the St. Martin's Episcopal Church rectory on Midway, which his company, Get'er Done, is repainting now.
I can pretty much build a house from the ground up. I like going to work every day, bringing back houses to beautiful. I like seeing stuff I've done, buildings that are over 100 years old and may live on after I'm gone.
I think Austin's coming back. It took a downfall with white flight in the late 1970s. People bought houses they couldn't really afford, and they started falling down. Then the economy fell out in the mid-2000s. But now you see people taking pride, keeping up their houses, having confidence in the neighborhood. Also it's better when police take time to understand the neighborhood and don't rule with an iron hand.
I don't think we'll get run over by gentrification, because we have a lot of good houses and not a bunch of vacant lots that a developer could swoop up and build condos on all at once. Austin has a nice mix with all different groups of people, a real melting pot of Latinos, Whites and Blacks. A good place to be.

Memphis Twins Produce Jim Varney Documentary
Eyan and Ivon Wuchina film Ernest Day.
by Michael Donahue
Remember Jim Varney, who played Ernest — the pop-eyed, rubbery-faced guy with the big smile? His adventures in movies, including Ernest Goes to Camp, Ernest Saves Christmas, and Ernest Scared Stupid, made people laugh.
Twin filmmakers/lifelong Varney fans — and Memphians — Eyan and Ivon Wuchina, 29, made a short documentary, Ernest Day, about the actor and his alter ego. It's named after the annual event in Montgomery Bell State Park in Burns, Tennessee.
"Ernest was an empire," Ivon says, adding: "He's out there with the Three Stooges. His skill, his determination, his energy."
Eyan and Ivon Wuchina
"He was a likeable guy," Eyan says. "Anything he did, no matter how he messed it up, it was always out of the goodness of his heart."
Eyan brought his Ernest doll, which talks when a string on its back is pulled, to Ernest Day. "I had so much respect for Jim Varney, I had to strap the doll to my body. Wore it," he says. "It was in like a Christ-like pose on my chest."
The twins' fascination with Ernest began when they were children living in rural Williamson County in Tennessee. Their grandmother loved the Ernest TV commercials. "Commercials were always Ernest talking to his neighbor, Vern, who you'd never see," Ivon says.
Varney, born in Lexington, Kentucky, was a classically trained actor who began working with John Cherry, who owned an ad agency in Nashville, Eyan says.
Cherry developed Varney's Ernest character, Ivon says. "He based Ernest off of a guy whose name was Ernest, who worked with his father.
"Ernest is somebody we all know," he says. "Somebody who thinks they know everything but actually knows nothing."
For the TV commercials, Varney adopted the "traditional Ernest look" — the denim vest, khaki hat, and jeans, Eyan says.
In real life — except for his sense of humor and friendliness — Varney wasn't Ernest, Ivon says. He "always dressed really fresh. He had his ears pierced. He wore jewelry — like rings, gold chains, stuff like that."
Ernest Goes to Camp, released in 1987, was the first Ernest feature film Cherry directed for theatrical release. Varney went on to make eight more Ernest movies.
During his career, Varney got away from the Ernest character. He played Jed Clampett in The Beverly Hillbillies, the villain Lothar Zogg in 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain, and Uncle Hazel in Daddy and Them with Billy Bob Thornton.
Varney was the voice of Slinky Dog in his last movie, Toy Story 2. In 2000, he died from lung cancer at the age of 50.
Ivon and Eyan, who began watching Ernest movies on TV when they were toddlers, says Varney influenced them to become filmmakers. "Growing up in Tennessee, people talk about, 'Hey, the Ernest movies were filmed here,'" Eyan says. "So, growing up as people obsessed with movies and wanting to do films ourselves, it gave us the energy and gumption."
They took footage at Ernest Day in 2017 with the idea to document the event for a future movie. They interviewed everybody from Cherry to a guy named Victor, "who had a tattoo of Ernest on his calf," Eyan says.
"I was dressed as Ernest both years," Ivon says.
The idea behind the Varney documentary was "to remind people how big he was," Ivon adds.
The biggest compliment about the documentary showed up on Twitter. "Judd Apatow, the director, retweeted [the YouTube link to] our Ernest movie," says Ivon."The biggest comedy director of our time, basically, retweets an Ernest movie. He loves Ernest, too."

Palestinian shot dead after alleged car-ramming attack
At least 10 Israelis injured after an attacker slams a car into a busy Jerusalem bus stop.
Israeli police said 10 people were injured in the incident [Ammar Awad/Reuters]
A Palestinian was shot dead on Monday after allegedly plowing his car into a West Jerusalem bus stop and injuring 10 people, one seriously.
Israeli police identified the alleged attacker as Abed al-Mhasan, 21, from Beit Hanina in occupied East Jerusalem.
Ten people were wounded in the incident, one of whom was in a critical condition, police said.
Israeli Channel 2 TV News showed a white Mazda that barrelled into the bus station on the pavement of a busy road.
Since early October, 120 Palestinians, 22 Israelis, an American and an Eritrean have been killed in the violence.
The latest violence began with a dispute over access to the site of the al-Aqsa Mosque – sacred to both Jews and Muslims – but has since escalated into what many fear may become another full-blown Palestinian uprising.
Palestinians are frustrated by Israel's 48-year occupation and with peace talks going nowhere.
Israeli strikes
Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes hit bases of Hamas in the Gaza Strip overnight, following an alleged Palestinian rocket attack on Israel that caused no injuries, the Israeli army said on Monday.
Palestinian officials in Gaza said the Israeli strikes damaged a training camp of Hamas' armed wing, the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, and of its naval force, according to AFP news agency.
No injuries were reported.

Packed with two side-by-side panels, this simple application lets you burn any kind of file to a disc, build ISO images, erase data from CDs or DVDs and copy an audio CD.
Burning data to disc is a very common task and thanks to the wide variety of dedicated apps that are designed for that purpose, users can choose the one that best fits their needs.
Especially tailored to help you create multiple types of discs on the fly, Cheetah CD Burner is based on a simple interface with drag and drop support to set up new projects without wasting any time.
In order to start creating discs, you are required to go through an installation process. This proves to run quite smoothly, as it does not come bundled with any unpleasant surprises and it does not last longer than a few moments.
The GUI you come by is quite intuitive and minimal, as it only consists of a menu bar, a few buttons and two side-by-side panes which enable you to select items through a folder structure and view all items that are about to be burned to a disc.
When you start a new compilation, the program offers you several choices so you can opt for creating a new data disc, an MP3, WMA or audio disc, burn an ISO file or create a disk image, or simply copy a disc.
The configuration should take only a couple of moments since there are only a handful of options, such as automatically verifying items or performing a test burn.
Keeping these settings to a minimum is a good thing especially for less experienced users who simply need to put some data from the PC onto a disc as quickly as possible.
A great thing about this tool is that it remains light on computer resources all the time, although this kind of applications tend to eat up the CPU and RAM, especially during the burning process. The interface is simple to handle for all users and we did not come across any errors, bugs or hangs.
To sum things up, Cheetah CD Burner is a decent application that does its job very well. It is easy to operate, works fast and will not clog your system as it burns the discs.

title: Mask Edit Text View
---
## Mask Edit Text View
A mask edit text view supports editing form values on a screen. This can be for new entry as well as editing existing values. Unlike a edit text view, the mask edit text view uses a mask pattern to specify what format the values should be entered in.

## General Information

> :information_source: A mask edit text view is defined with a percent (%) and the characters ME, followed by the view number. For example: `%ME1`. This is generally used on a form in order to allow a user to enter or edit a text value.

> :information_source: See [MCI](../mci.md) for general information on how to use views and common configuration properties available for them.

### Properties

| Property    | Description  |
|-------------|--------------|
| `textStyle` | Sets the standard (non-focus) text style. See **Text Styles** in [MCI](../mci.md) |
| `focusTextStyle` | Sets the focus text style. See **Text Styles** in [MCI](../mci.md) |
| `argName` | Sets the argument name for this value in the form |
| `maxLength` | Sets the maximum number of characters that can be entered. *Not normally useful, set the mask pattern as needed instead* |
| `focus` | Set to true to capture initial focus |
| `maskPattern` | Sets the mask pattern. See **Mask Pattern** below |
| `fillChar` | Specifies a character to fill extra space in the text entry with. Defaults to an empty space |

### Mask Pattern

A `maskPattern` must be set on a mask edit text view (not doing so will cause the view to be focusable, but no text can be input). The `maskPattern` is a set of characters used to define input, as well as optional literal characters that can be entered into the pattern that will always be entered into the input. The following mask characters are supported:

| Mask Character | Description  |
|----------------|--------------|
| # | Numeric input, one of 0 through 9 |
| A | Alphabetic, one of a through z or A through Z |
| @ | Alphanumeric, matches one of either Numeric or Alphabetic above |
| & | Printable, matches one printable character including spaces |

Any value other than the entries above is treated like a literal value to be displayed in the patter. Multiple pattern characters are combined for longer inputs. Some examples could include:

| Pattern | Description  |
|---------|--------------|
| `AA`      | Matches up to two alphabetic characters, for example a state name (i.e. "CA") |
| `###`     | Matches up to three numeric characters, for example an age (i.e. 25) |
| `###-###-####` | A pattern matching a phone number with area code |
| `##/##/####` | Matches a date of type month/day/year or day/month/year (i.e. 01/01/2000) |
| `##-AAA-####` | Matches a date of type day-month-year (i.e. 01-MAR-2010) |
| `# foot ## inches`| Matches a height in feet and inches (i.e. 6 foot 2 inches) |

## Example
