Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade, Ending 50 Years of Abortion Rights
BU Today
7- 9-22
In a stunning reversal of 50 years of precedent, the US Supreme Court on Friday struck down Roe v. Wade, which protected the rights of women to seek abortions, leaving individual states free to ban outright or severely limit the right to a procedure that women have had since 1973.
"Roe was egregiously wrong from the start," Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the majority opinion. "Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences… It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives."
In the final sentence of the dissent opinion, the court's liberal justices, Stephen Breyer (Hon.'95), Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan, wrote: "With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent."
The lengthy 78-page decision (read the full ruling here) seems to be at odds with public opinion; as one example, a recent SCOTUSPoll found that 62.3 percent of respondents oppose overturning Roe v. Wade, and just 37.8 percent of respondents support overturning it.
"It is hard to overstate how unusual it is that the Supreme Court has overturned a long-standing civil right," says Nicole Huberfeld, Boston University School of Public Health Edward R. Utley Professor of Health Law, Bioethics, and Human Rights and a School of Law professor of law. "While the implication is not that abortion is outlawed across the nation—the Supreme Court has said that the US Constitution doesn't have much to say about this issue. So, states can decide to restrict abortion so long as their laws have a legitimate purpose."
Huberfeld says 13 states have trigger laws that either outlaw or significantly restrict access to abortion almost immediately, and another 9 states had laws on the books before Roe that outlawed abortion. "And so when you put all of these different kinds of laws together, including a lot of the restrictions that were, you know, stopped by lower federal courts and other significant restrictions that were put in place before this litigation," Huberfeld notes, "in half of states, abortion will now be significantly restricted or outlawed."
The decision also moved BU President Robert A. Brown to release a statement: "I had hoped that the day would not come when I would write to express my profound disappointment over an action of the Supreme Court of the United States. However, I believe the Court's official decision today to annul the 1973 decision of Roe v. Wade is an enormous step backward in protecting the rights of all women in our country. This decision denies women the right to make their own decisions about their reproductive health. Boston University remains steadfastly committed to guaranteeing women's reproductive rights to the extent allowed under Massachusetts' law." (Read the full text of Brown's letter at the end of this article.)
And responding to the Supreme Court ruling, on Friday Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker signed an executive order that he says will "protect reproductive health care providers who serve out-of-state residents."
As shocking as the Court's decision was, it had been widely anticipated for weeks after the leak of a draft opinion by the Court in early May showing that the conservative-leaning justices, who hold a majority, would end the long-standing precedent. The final vote was 6-3.
"The leak clearly didn't move anyone on the conservative side of the court," says Linda McClain, a LAW professor and Robert B. Kent Professor of Law, who is known for her work on family law, gender, and sex equality.
The deciding case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, was argued over a Mississippi law that banned almost all abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. But that law had not yet gone into effect because lower courts had ruled that it was not in line with Roe V. Wade, which had established the right to abortion in 1973. The Court's ruling on Friday now clears the way for the Mississippi law, and others like it, to be enacted.
McClain says one passage in the ruling was particularly alarming: a paragraph that says the Court's decision does not automatically mean that abortion becomes a state-by-state issue, and leaves open the possibility of a nationwide abortion ban through federal law. "Most threatening of all," she says, the ruling states "no language in today's decision stops the federal government from prohibiting abortions nationwide, once again from the moment of conception and without exceptions for rape or incest."
That language will make the upcoming midterm elections even more critical, she says. "Everybody thinks if they had a different composition of the House or Senate, they might try to do that [federal ban]. Who knows? But nothing in the opinion limits this to states. So, the federal government could issue a nationwide prohibition. We have been seeing the reverberations of this possibility ever since it was leaked. Red states will have a field day and blue states will double down on protections."
And with abortion rights under fire, McClain says, she would not be surprised if the next target of the Court was contraception, banning things like IUDs (tiny devices that can be inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy) or morning-after pills. Even women who suffer miscarriages could find themselves facing suspicion or scrutiny, she says.
Jennifer Childs-Roshak (Questrom'10), president and CEO of the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts, issued a statement Friday after the announcement of the Court's decision. "This dangerous and chilling decision will have devastating consequences across the country, forcing people to travel hundreds, sometimes thousands, of miles for care or remain pregnant," she wrote. "Abortion is healthcare, and access to care should not be based on one's zip code, income level, or identity." She went on to note that the right to abortion is still protected in Massachusetts. "Right now, people can look to Massachusetts for care and for leadership. We must meet this moment with the urgency it demands by taking action to expand access to all sexual and reproductive healthcare—in our clinics providing care to all who want it and by legislating reproductive health equity in every corner of the commonwealth."
Letter from Robert A. Brown, BU president, to the BU community:
I had hoped that the day would not come when I would write to express my profound disappointment over an action of the Supreme Court of the United States. However, I believe the Court's official decision today to annul the 1973 decision of Roe v. Wade is an enormous step backward in protecting the rights of all women in our country. This decision denies women the right to make their own decisions about their reproductive health.
Boston University remains steadfastly committed to guaranteeing women's reproductive rights to the extent allowed under Massachusetts' law. Specifically:
• As a provider of health services to our students, we will continue to offer pregnancy options counseling, informed by respect for women's reproductive choices.
• As an employer of staff and faculty, we will continue to provide health insurance that covers the cost of reproductive healthcare procedures.
• As an educational institution, we will ensure that the future physicians and physician assistants we educate receive the necessary training to provide the full range of reproductive services patients may seek. The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) has reaffirmed its commitment to physician training that supports this position.
• We are also committed to ensuring that our graduates in other health-related fields continue to be trained in reproductive healthcare for women so that they can deliver quality services based on a woman's right to a full set of options.
Virtually everyone in our country speaks of individual rights as a foundational value of the United States. But, throughout our history, we have struggled to expand rights in accord with our aspirational language. As we continue to address past injustices, we have stumbled backward almost half a century by denying women control over their bodies. We can only hope that our society will find a way to move forward once again and extend this protection to all women in our country.

Tracy Lawrence Celebrates 30 Years in Country Music With 'Hindsight 2020'
Celebrity News15231Country Music News15231Music News15231News | February 12, 2021
It's ben 30 years since Tracy Lawrence burst onto the country music scene with "Sticks and Stones," his debut single, and the title track of his freshman album. To celebrate, the 53-year-old just announced the release of a three-record compilation, Hindsight 2020, to be released throughout 2021, with 30 songs honoring the country singer's 30 years of making music.
"It has truly been the honor of a lifetime to be so welcomed by country music fans," Lawrence says of the project. "As I look back over the past 30 years, I am incredibly humbled to have been able to live my dream and to have so many folks support me along the way. I wanted to celebrate this amazing milestone with fond reflection and embrace the next chapter with the people who made it all happen, my fans."
Volume 1: Stairway to Heaven Highway to Hell will be released on April 23. The ten songs on the first record will be all new material from Lawrence, who wrote nine of the ten tracks.
"I had the idea for this song when we were out in Ventura, California. I was thinking of song titles and this one just kind of came to me," Lawrence recalls of the title track, which he wrote with hit songwriter, Craig Wiseman. "I really had been wanting to write with Craig Wiseman for a long time and reached out to him. We actually got together and did a Zoom write. I have cut some of his stuff over the years and we had always talked about writing, but this was the first opportunity that we had really taken to sit down and write. I think this thing turned out great and the idea is phenomenal. It's going to be a fun song to play on the road."
The past year has been a challenge for Lawrence, as it has been for so many other people, since he could not do his favorite thing, which is perform for his fans. The Texas native says he found solace by leaning on his faith, and those closest to him.
"My family and I have found strength in God," Lawrence tells Everything Nash. "I know that a lot of people say that's a cliché, but we have leaned on Him. We've leaned on our friends. You can say that that things are different now than they've been over the last 30, 40, 50, 60, a hundred years. That's the thing about life that I've learned, is that none of us can do this alone. It takes friends. It takes relationships, because there's always going to be a time when you're going to need to lean on somebody, when you're not strong enough, or in a situation where you can't take care of yourself.
"It takes a network of people … I'm blessed that I've got a support network of great people, and great faith and ministry people," he continues. "My children are the same way. We've learned to lean on each other through all this stuff. It takes relationship. You have to be able to lean on other people."
Volume 1: Stairway to Heaven Highway to Hell is available for purchase at TracyLawrence.com.

Q: Python - variable inside for loop disappears outside of loop EDIT: If you have also encountered this issue, there are two possible solutions below.
I am making a very simple Python script to merge several markdown files together, while preserving all line breaks. The files I want to merge are called markdown/simple1.md, markdown/simple2.md, and markdown/simple3.md (they are placed inside a folder called markdown/.
This is the text content of simple1.md:
Page 1

This is some useless content

This is the text content of simple2.md:
Page 2

This is some useless content

This is the text content of simple3.md:
Page 3

This is some useless content

And here is what I have so far:
# Define files I want to merge

filenames = ['markdown/simple1.md', 'markdown/simple2.md', 'markdown/simple3.md']

# Merge markdown files into one big file

merged_filecontent = ""
file = ""

for file in filenames:
  file = open(file).read()
  file += "\n"
  # print(file)
  merged_filecontent = file
  print(merged_filecontent)

This works perfectly. However, as soon as I try to call a variable outside of my for loop, like this:
# Define files I want to merge

filenames = ['markdown/simple1.md', 'markdown/simple2.md', 'markdown/simple3.md']

# Merge markdown files into one big file

merged_filecontent = ""
file = ""

for file in filenames:
  file = open(file).read()
  file += "\n"
  # print(file)
  merged_filecontent = file

# Call variable outside of for loop

print(merged_filecontent)

The variable only returns the 3rd markdown file, and doesn't show the merged file.
I would appreciate any help on this issue.

A: You're re-declaring the file variable inside the loop. Try:
filenames = ['markdown/simple1.md', 'markdown/simple2.md', 'markdown/simple3.md']
merged_filecontent = ""

for file in filenames:
  with open(file) as f:
    merged_filecontent += f.read()+"\n"

print(merged_filecontent)

A: You need to actually merge the file content with merged_filecontent += file
# Define files I want to merge

filenames = ['markdown/simple1.md', 'markdown/simple2.md', 'markdown/simple3.md']

# Merge markdown files into one big file

merged_filecontent = ""
file = ""

for file in filenames:
  file = open(file).read()
  file += "\n"
  # print(file)
  merged_filecontent += file

# Call variable outside of for loop

print(merged_filecontent)

When unfolded the trunk becomes a part of the support.


Description: a well-reasoned and witty look at how AI and robotic automation will impact human employment in virtually every area, from low-skilled jobs to white collar, professional, and creative jobs. Great use of visuals, and a good explanation of why this situation is likely to turn out differently than the three previous industrial revolutions (steam, electricity, and computing).
The video is only a little dated now. Self-driving taxis are out there but they still have human safety drivers baby-sitting them -- for good reason. The only truly self-driving cars in the wild are Teslas on autopilot when the owner falls asleep. The Baxter robot has been less successful than expected, and Watson's medical career has been a commercial flop. But as the video notes, these are still early days.
For a well-reasoned opposing view, see Job loss due to AI — How bad is it going to be?, whose authors argue that "Recent studies suggest the impact of AI on jobs in the near future will not be significantly more disruptive than the impact of automation in the past."


Palestinian civil society has been badly compromised by news that one of the largest and most prominent NGOs, named LAW, has misused an estimated 40% of the $10 million dollars it has received from Western aid sources.
The funding scandal broke recently, when a consortium of Western aid donors publicly announced a suspension of aid to LAW. Many Western diplomats feel a deep sense of personal betrayal at LAW's dishonesty, and are warning that they plan a thorough investigation of NGO practices.
The scandal has called into question a cardinal principle of Western policy - that Palestinian nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) can create an independent 'Third Way' between two implacable enemies and lay the basis for a Palestinian state based on the rule of law and human rights.
Notwithstanding the LAW scandal, the AP commentary argues that Palestinian civil society will have a vital role to play in monitoring the reform of the Palestinian Authority over the months ahead, as the focus of international attention shifts from Iraq to the crisis in the Occupied Territories.
The AP commentary uses the example of an AP partner, the Democracy and Workers Rights Center, which has used an emergency job creation scheme to organise workers in Gaza and encourage democracy on the shop floor.
This has gone some way towards breaking the grip of the two main labour federations, which are both controlled by the political apparatus of Yasser Arafat.
The commentary argues that Western donors should not let LAW's misdeeds weaken their commitment to such civic initiatives, which are strengthening Palestinian democracy from the bottom up and playing a critical role in supporting the peace process.

IOM delivers and promotes comprehensive, preventative and curative health programmes that are beneficial, accessible and equitable for migrants and migration-affected communities. Bridging the needs of both migrants and IOM's Member States, IOM contributes towards the physical, mental and social well-being of migrants and host communities, enabling them to achieve social and economic development.
Significant areas of intervention include strengthening the capacities of health systems in migration-affected areas; advocacy and capacity building for migration-sensitive and responsive service provision; direct health service provision including diagnosis, treatment and vaccination; health education and awareness raising for migrants and communities; and delivery of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) in emergency settings. This is done through a three-pronged approach to health programming: migration health assessments and travel health assistance; health promotion and assistance for migrants; and migration health assistance for crisis-affected populations.
In East and Horn of Africa, many countries struggle with weak health systems and high burdens of both communicable and non-communicable disease. Conflict and post-conflict countries in particular must not only rebuild national and community health systems but also provide services to displaced and vulnerable populations. At the same time, migrants often face barriers to accessing available health services due to a range of legal, economic, language, social and cultural factors.
In response, IOM engages in migration health-related activities throughout the region to support realization of the vision of healthy migrants in healthy communities. IOM responds to the health needs of migrants throughout all phases of the migration process, and to the public health needs of host and home communities, by strengthening health systems and migration policies and practices.
At the same time, IOM addresses individual health and safety and manages conditions of public health concern as individuals move across borders. Through Migration Health Assessment Centres (MHAC), IOM promotes the health of migrants with the initiation of preventative and curative interventions for conditions that, if left untreated, could have a negative impact on individual migrant's health and/or the public health of host communities. IOM runs a total of nine Migration Health Assessment Centres in the East and Horn of Africa region.
The East and Horn of Africa region experiences emergency health situations frequently, to address urgent health needs for migrants including displaced persons and host communities in the context of crises, IOM implements a range of interventions through static clinics, rapid response health teams, mobile clinics, and community health promotion activities. These efforts are complemented by WASH and mental health and psychosocial support interventions. In 2018, health in emergencies operation were carried out in the following countries, Burundi, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, and South Sudan.

Merkel says decision to cancel Turkish rally taken by local authorities
ISTANBUL Diplomacy
| AA Photo
Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday distanced her government from a controversial ban on the Turkish justice minister's meeting with the expat community in Germany, saying that the decision to cancel the rally was made by local authorities.
Speaking in the Tunisian capital of Tunis, Merkel said Germany has a federal state structure and the decisions to allow such organizations have been taken by local municipalities.
German Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer also said the cancellation of a hall meeting with Turkish Justice Minister Bekir Bozdağ on Thursday in the southern German town of Gaggenau's was the local municipality's decision.
"That was a decision on which the federal government had no influence at all, and it could not have any influence anyway, because this is an issue which falls in the competences of the states or local communities according to the legislation; here, we have zero influence."
Authorities in Gaggenau had revoked its permission for the meeting at short notice, saying there was not enough space for parking vehicles and entrances to the rally.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu warned Germany of the consequences of blocking the rally.
"It cannot go on like that. If you want to work with us, you have to learn how to behave towards us," the top diplomat said on Friday.
Turkey will respond in kind, Çavuşoğlu added.
Ties between Ankara and Berlin have been strained in recent months as Turkish leaders strongly criticized their German counterparts for turning a blind eye to terrorist organizations such as the PKK and FETÖ, which they say use Germany as a platform for their activities targeting Turkey.
Tensions between the two countries further escalated last week after German media and politicians sharply criticized Turkey for the pre-trial detention of Die Welt's Istanbul correspondent Deniz Yücel on charges of terror propaganda.
Several leading Turkish politicians from the government as well as the opposition parties are planning several meetings in Germany with Turkish migrants this month, ahead of a referendum on April 16, on the proposed changes to introduce a presidential system in Turkey.
Among Germany's 3 million-strong Turkish community, nearly 1.5 million of them are eligible to vote. They are going to cast their votes at Turkish consulates in Germany between March 27 and April 9.

Pablo Picasso had already accepted a commission in 1937 to create a work for the Spanish Republican Pavilion at the Paris World Fair when news arrived of the assault by the German Condor Legion on the undefended Basque town of Guernica, in which hundreds of civilians died. James Attlee offers an illuminating account of the genesis, creation and many-stranded afterlife of Picasso's Guernica. He explores the historical context from which it sprang; the artistic influences that informed its execution; the critical responses that it elicited; its journeyings across Europe and America in the late 1930s; its post-war adoption by new generations of anti-war protestors; and its eventual return to Spain following the death of Franco.

The SPF moisturiser, a sometimes confused part of a male grooming routine and often omitted, incorrectly. You may be beginning to consider your sun care needs since the warmer spring weather has arrived (consider: ultraviolet rays can be damaging on even the cloudiest of days too). And an SPF moisturiser is something I recommend adding to your skincare regime.
With more than 100,000 new cases of skin cancer diagnosed annually in the UK, getting better protected from the suns' harmful rays is as important as ever. Okay, we recognise that not all cases are due to over exposure in the sun. However surveys do show that 4 out of 5 diagnosed cases could have been avoided with better protection.
It's important to note that an SPF moisturiser is to be worn in addition to a sun cream if you're lying directly in the sun somewhere hot. An SPF moisturiser is a double-win. It moisturises like your regular moisturiser but also has the addition of sun protection without having to apply a sun care product separately. It will not only help ward of skin cancer but also help prevent signs of sun-related ageing.
An SPF moisturiser will come in handy if you have a walk through the city to your next meeting on a hot day, or dine outside for lunch. It's a no brainer, apply in the morning for day-long protection. Here are our three of the best.
Providing lightweight hydration with SPF 30 this moisturiser is quickly absorbed, leaving the soft and healthy. The added benefit of broad spectrum SPF 30 protects against sun damage and premature ageing. The best thing- the effects are continued beneath the surface layers throughout the daytime.
Packed with vitamins this moisturiser is specifically designed for those who suffer with oily skin, a condition that tends to only get worse as the weather improves. Using aloe vera extracts to bind moisture into the skin and silk amino acids to stop the skin losing any more. All round skin protection.
Green Tea anti-oxidants shelter the skin from free radicals and environmental toxins whilst also moisturising deeply to leave the skin smooth and fresh. Added sunblocks reflect UV rays allowing the skin to breath freely without risk of damage.


The max point reward for answering a question is Epson has recently introduced in India the Epson Stylus CX, the new entry-level all-in-one color inkjet printer which has integrated color scanner and also functions as color plain paper copier.

Xfinity (a subsidiary of Comcast) is the largest cable company in the United States. Xfinity's internet service area covers 40 states, with the widest statewide coverage in Alabama, Arkansas, and Arizona. Xfinity delivers service predominantly over a hybrid fiber-coaxial network, which also maintains a large public Wi-Fi network for Xfinity customers.
Xfinity Plans and Pricing Overview
Contract-free plans
Option to use your own modem
Nationwide hotspots
Full-service provider (internet, TV, mobile and home phone, and home security)
1.2 TB data cap on most plans
Plans and prices vary by location
Higher-than-average equipment fee
Xfinity's internet plans are feature-packed, but it's difficult to say which plans are offered where. Customers in Philadelphia may see different promotions, plans, and pricing than those in Atlanta or San Jose. These differences can be a headache for existing customers who are moving, but not enough to switch providers.
Xfinity has highly flexible plans to meet the needs of any budget or household usage. Xfinity is one of the few major providers that provide a free streaming service and device to all of its internet customers. This may prompt you to become a cord-cutter, or at least give cord-cutting a trial run.
Data Cap
Xfinity Cable Internet Up to 1.2 Gbps $30 per month 1.2 TB
Xfinity Fiber Internet Up to 6 Gbps $299.95 per month No
Xfinity typically offers the lowest-priced internet plan where available. It's often the provider with the fastest download speeds, since they're the only provider to offer cable internet with speeds up to 1.2 Gbps. You can also get fiber internet with the Gigabit Pro plan, though its availability is limited. Those with access can get download and upload speeds up to 6 Gbps.
Xfinity is available at this address. Explore plans below or call (844) 910-2674 to get started.
Ways to order Xfinity:
Xfinity Internet Speed
Comcast originally built coaxial cable networks for transporting cable television to TV subscribers. Now, Xfinity uses these cables to deliver digital data and internet service throughout the Comcast coverage area. This transmission is possible thanks to Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS), a technology that allows these cables to be used to transport high-bandwidth digital data.
Fiber lines make up the backbone of Xfinity's network around the country. For Xfinity customers, this means that data travels on coaxial cables only for the "last mile" between the company's Xfinity's local fiber lines and individual subscriber residences. This final hop over coaxial cables bottlenecks speed, particularly upload speeds. However, the relatively short hop means speeds offered by Xfinity are faster than more limited technologies like digital subscriber line (DSL). In many cases, the download speeds come close to those offered by pure fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) providers.
Future DOCSIS technologies through Comcast may be capable of delivering download speeds up to 10 Gbps, but for now, Xfinity offers cable internet connections with download speeds up to 1.2 Gbps. According to our data, customers' Xfinity speed test results tend to average around 461 Mbps.
Xfinity Internet vs. Xfinity TV
Xfinity is known for its internet service and proprietary TV platforms, X1 and Xfinity Flex, but it also offers phone services and home security, with steep discounts when you bundle with Xfinity internet. Most recently, Comcast introduced its XClass smart TV, which integrates the X1 and Xfinity Flex platforms into a smart TV and includes one year of Peacock Premium at no additional cost. Prices for the XClass TVs start at $228 for 43 inches and $248 for 50 inches.

Frequently Asked Questions About Xfinity Internet
How fast is Xfinity internet?
Xfinity's cable internet plans have download speeds up to 1.2 Gbps. If you're lucky enough to be in an area where they offer fiber, then you can get download speeds up to 6 Gbps.
Which services does Xfinity offer?
Through Xfinity, you can get internet, TV, home phone, mobile phone, and home security services. Internet services don't require a contract, and Xfinity offers bonuses for bundling multiple services together.
How reliable is Xfinity?
In terms of the reliability of Xfinity's internet connections, service in urban areas tends to perform best. Competing with providers like Verizon Fios and AT&T, Xfinity performs especially well during peak usage times (typically between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m.), when a large percentage of subscribers is simultaneously streaming high-bandwidth video. Xfinity's proximity to fiber in urban areas allows the provider to deliver overall stronger service, especially during these periods of high usage.
Does Xfinity offer discounts for students?
Most recently, Comcast expanded eligibility for Internet Essentials to include all federal Pell Grant recipients within its service area. The expansion increases the opportunity for students to stay connected while pursuing degrees at colleges, universities, and technical schools.

If there is anything that unites astronomy, it is the worldwide use of a single file format - nearly all the images of stars and galaxies produced by telescopes on the ground and in space are stored as so-called FITS files. Unfortunately this file format has been accessible to very few people other than professional scientists using highly specialised image-processing tools.
Now a new and unique tool - the ESA/ESO/NASA Photoshop FITS Liberator - developed by imaging scientists at the European Space Agency, the European Southern Observatory and NASA makes the immense wealth of astronomical images and spectra stored in data archives around the world accessible to the layman. The only thing required is access to either Adobe Photoshop® or Adobe Photoshop Elements®, both leading image software packages.
For the professional creators of astronomical colour images, the plug-in revolutionises the workflow of the creation of colour images from raw data and gives a huge boost to the image quality by giving access to the full 16 bit (65536 colours) range of the observations. In addition the plug in may be used as a powerful educational tool when teaching about light, colour and digital images. Some examples of educational material are available at the web page below.
Head of the development team, Lars Holm Nielsen from Denmark, says, "FITS is much more than just an image format. It is an extremely flexible file format that allows astronomers to share images and spectra in many different ways. This very versatility has made the job of producing a plug-in for Photoshop challenging. Compared to formats like JPEG, FITS files can be incredibly diverse."
The ESA/ESO/NASA Photoshop FITS Liberator works on Windows PCs and Macs (OS X 10.2+) and is optimised for Photoshop CS, but also works in Photoshop 7.0 (only 15 bit support) and Photoshop Elements 2 (only 8 bit support).
Technical, scientific support and testing: Robert Hurt, Zolt Levay, Bob Fosbury and Richard Hook.
The ESA/ESO/NASA Photoshop FITS Liberator uses NASA's CFITSIO library.

AFBF Urges Committee to Strengthen Climate Bill for Ag
The president of the American Farm Bureau Federation called on the House Agriculture Committee to make drastic changes to a climate change bill before it is considered by Congress, telling the committee that to do less could result "in the economic equivalent of unilateral disarmament" if the government's optimistic assumptions don't hold true.
In testimony today, AFBF President Bob Stallman said Farm Bureau has serious concerns with H.R. 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act.
"Those concerns are extensive," Stallman testified. "They include not only mitigating the impact of higher energy costs but assuring that, whatever and however possible, we maximize the role of agricultural producers in any climate policy, including maximizing the opportunities to reduce and sequester carbon."
Stallman went on to tell the committee that, "We can certainly devise a set of assumptions just as valid as those used by EPA that could cut farm income nearly in half."
In his testimony, Stallman said any climate change legislation passed by Congress must include "a strong, robust, statutorily authorized program of agricultural offsets that are explicitly included in legislative language." Stallman also said the U.S. Department of Agriculture must be given the primary role in developing, administering and overseeing the offset program.
Stallman also expressed Farm Bureau support for H.R. 2409, the Renewable Fuel Standard Improvement Act, and said its provisions must be incorporated in any climate change legislation considered by Congress. H.R. 2409 provides a clear way to correct the indirect land use issue and clarifies the way greenhouse gas emissions are measured for both petroleum and ethanol, Stallman said.
Farm Bureau remains "very concerned" about the broad, potential adverse impacts of a cap-and-trade program on U.S. agriculture, Stallman emphasized.
"Even though some say agriculture will benefit, that will depend to a great degree on where the producer is located, what he or she grows, and how his or her business model can take advantage of any provisions in the legislation," Stallman told the committee.
For example, not every dairy farmer can afford to capture methane, because it is a capital-intensive endeavor. Not every farmer lives in a region where wind turbines are an option, and not every farmer can take advantage of no-till cultivation, Stallman said.
"Some agricultural producers will never benefit from the legislation under any scenario," Stallman said. "Most fruit, potato and vegetable producers will not qualify for offsets. Western ranchers whose operations are heavily dependent on the use of federal lands for livestock forage also have limited offset opportunities. Many areas of the West in general that are coal-dependent are also the areas that have limited offset opportunities. Not all areas of the country are able to productively adopt conservation tillage practices, thus restricting their offset possibilities. Yet these producers will incur the same increased fuel, fertilizer and energy costs as their counterparts."

This past summer we had the opportunity to work on an ESPN project with George Whitfield, one of the most respected quarterback coaches in the business. The Elite 11 Finals showcased the next generation of great quarterbacks in a two part series that pitted the nation's top prep QBs in a grueling week long competition. Coach Whitfield was part of Trent Dilfer's talented staff of coaches that were featured in the program.
George has worked with Ben Roethlisberger, Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Donavan McNabb, and recent Heisman winner Johnny Manziel. In fact, on November 26 when then Heisman frontrunner Johnny Football spoke to the media for the first time he credited Whitfield for helping him with "overstriding" issues when he threw the ball over the summer (source).
Here's a link to today's USA TODAY piece and a couple of pictures of George doing his thing at the Elite 11 camp this past summer.

FES Group Hand Picked Academy Success for Second Year Running
Seventeen-year-old Billy Angus has landed his dream job working as a Junior Engineer for Stirling-based building services company, FES.
Billy is one of 34 teenagers from schools in the Stirlingshire area to boost their chances of finding a job by taking part in one of two Hand Picked Academies, sponsored by the FES Group.
This marked the second year of a successful collaboration with Hand-Picked as FES, looking to fill 36 apprenticeship opportunities across a number of trades, hosted the Academies to give local school leavers the chance to experience hands-on practical workshops, while learning about the workplace and employer expectations.
Hand-Picked, which is run by home improvements company CR Smith, is a unique employer sponsorship programme that works with employers who recognise that they have a responsibility to help shape the future workforce and supports them make a positive impact on their local community.
The scheme teaches a young person about the jobs and skills required by businesses and how they should market themselves to a prospective employer in a competitive jobs market. What makes the course stand out is that it provides the candidates with robust feedback while giving them new insight and experience of what it means to get a job.
On completion of the three-day Academy, all candidates took part in an interview to be considered for one of the jobs available. Thirteen went on to the next round of selection with 8 offered apprenticeships with the FES Group.
In addition, a further 4 candidates have gone on to find employment elsewhere and one went on to do a college course.
Billy said:
"I was in my fifth year at school and thinking about becoming an electrician so was very interested when I found out about FES. Kenny Stewart, the Group Training Officer did a FES careers talk at my school then invited me to join one of the Hand Picked Academies and it was a great opportunity to learn more about the company, what it would be like to work for them and get a foot in the door.
"I had thought I wanted to be an electrician but one of my strongest subjects at school was Graphics. I had just sat my Higher Graphics exam and realised that I would be better working in engineering and now I am a junior engineer with FES working with graphic drawing, 3D software and modelling.
"I had never sat a job formal interview before and part of the Hand Picked Academy was we were all given a mock interview with feedback on how we did. I received very positive feedback and it really built my confidence to pursue the chance of landing a job with FES."
Robert Wood, Contracts Director at FES commented:
"The Hand Picked Academy brought a new dimension to our search for apprentices, as it allowed us to open our doors to more local school leavers to introduce them to a trade career, while giving them a very rounded view on the realities of finding a job to suit them.
"FES has a strong commitment to the local communities in which it works and we are delighted with the success of the Hand Picked Academy."
Dylan Fletcher, FES Group Board Director added:
"We need motivated young people who can go on and be the workforce of the future. The starting point for Hand Picked and the FES Academy is that there is potential in every young person. Not everyone sees it immediately, but we know it's there and work hard throughout the week to give that young person the confidence to progress into the workplace."
Pauline McGeevor who heads up Hand Picked for CR Smith, said:
"The feedback we get from the candidates is phenomenal. The Academies are entirely focused on supporting them into jobs. Coming from the employers' perspective we're honest with them so that they leave with a real understanding of what they need to do.
"I'm delighted that FES has embraced the Hand Picked programme to support local school leavers and I hope many other employers will follow their lead."

Der Bahnhof Torino Porta Nuova in Turin ist mit 350 Zugfahrten täglich und über 70 Millionen Reisenden hinter Roma Termini und Milano Centrale der drittgrößte Bahnhof Italiens. Er wird von der FS-Tochter GrandiStazioni S.p.A. betrieben, verlor seine Hauptbahnhoffunktion aber mit der Eröffnung des Bahnhofs Porta Susa AV 2013, da dieser im Gegensatz zu Porta Nuova kein Kopfbahnhof ist.

Geschichte
Der Spatenstich für den Bau nach Plänen des Architekten Carlo Ceppi fand 1861 statt. Bereits 1864 wurde er dem Betrieb übergeben, obwohl die Arbeiten noch bis 1868 in Gange waren. Nach der Zerstörung im Zweiten Weltkrieg, fand von 1948 bis 1953 unter Aufsicht von Paolo Perilli der Wiederaufbau statt. 2007 wurde von der U-Bahn Turin eine Haltestelle im Untergeschoss eröffnet. Am 4. Februar 2009 wurde der Bahnhof nach einem umfassenden Umbau neu eingeweiht, just 145 Jahre nach der ersten Eröffnung. Auf vier Geschossen wurden 97.000 Quadratmeter Nutzungsfläche saniert oder erstellt.

Verkehr

Fernverkehr
Früher bedienten alle Fernverkehrszüge, die Turin tangieren, den Bahnhof. Es waren nebst InterCity- und Eurostar-Italia-Zügen auch Nachtzüge, sonstige Schnellzüge, aber auch TGVs nach Milano Centrale bzw. Paris Gare de Lyon. Heute umfahren einige Züge den Bahnhof und halten ebenso wie die ostwärts führenden Züge am Bahnhof Torino Porta Susa, der heute als Hauptbahnhof fungiert. Westwärts führende Züge halten noch in Torino Lingotto. Direktverbindungen gibt es unter anderem nach Venedig, Mailand, Rom, Genua, Neapel, Bari, Salerno oder Palermo.

Regionalverkehr
Im Regionalverkehr ist der Bahnhof ein Lokalknoten mit Verbindungen in alle Richtungen, gar bis nach Ancona oder Ventimiglia. Er wird ausschließlich von Zügen der Trenitalia bedient.

August 6, 2015 - Zippy Shell Storage Operations (ZSSO), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zippy Shell Incorporated, is thrilled to announce the acquisition of the Zippy Shell Chapel Hill franchise location. The sale of this franchise has brought ZSSO to eight corporately-owned locations.
Owners of the Chapel Hill Zippy Shell franchise David and Margy Schmidt, have operated the franchise for three years prior to selling their business to ZSSO. In addition to the acquisition, ZSSO will also acquire the territory rights to the nearby Greensboro market.
Upon the completion of the sale, David will join the corporate team to serve officially as the Vice President of Franchise Growth, to strengthen the connection between the franchisees and corporate team.
According to Dennis O'Connell, EVP of Market Operations, "The addition of the Chapel Hill market is critical towards the strengthening of our national footprint. By adding the Greensboro market to the territory, we will be able to fully service the entire East Coast with storage and moving solutions."
"There are a lot of exciting 'strategic' changes happening to the company, but what makes this particular transition so important, is that we're also gaining a critical member on the corporate team," says Rick Del Sontro, CEO of Zippy Shell. "The expansion of Zippy Shell throughout the country is key to our ongoing growth strategy."
Zippy Shell is the fastest growing business in both the storage and moving industries across the nation. Currently, the company operates in 106 markets across the nation.

Google walkout organizer quits, citing retaliation fear
San Francisco (AFP)
A Google worker who helped organize a massive walkout to protest the company's handling of sexual misconduct said Friday she had quit her job.
In a post at Medium, Claire Stapleton said her decision to resign was based on her expecting another child but also because she was marked for retaliation by department heads after the walkout late last year.
"If I stayed, I didn't just worry that there'd be more public flogging, shunning, and stress, I expected it," Stapleton said.
"Life is extremely short and realistically we only have a couple of years left until the world hurtles into climate apocalypse or some other paroxysm of our own doing."
Google told AFP that it thoroughly investigated Stapleton's claims and found no evidence that she was targeted for retaliation in the workplace.
Stapleton's team was given a "Culture Award" by management for her role in the walkout, according to the California-based internet company.
"To reiterate, we don't tolerate retaliation," Google said in response to an AFP inquiry.
"Our employee relations team did a thorough investigation of her claims and found no evidence of retaliation."
Google employees poured out of buildings at the company's Mountain View campus in November, filling courtyards and patios in solidarity with co-workers who staged similar demonstrations at offices in countries around the world to protest the company's handling of sexual misconduct
Stapleton was a co-organizer of the walkout, which lasted more than an hour.
The protest took shape after Google said that it had fired 48 employees in the prior two years -- including 13 senior executives -- as a result of allegations of sexual misconduct, citing "an increasingly hard line" on inappropriate conduct.
One senior Google employee, Android creator Andy Rubin, was reported to have received an exit package worth $90 million as he faced allegations of misconduct. Rubin has denied the allegations and claimed he was the victim of a "smear campaign."

There is A Real, Veritable Mystery In France! Where is Inspector Clouseau When You Need Him?
Motives may never be known EVER EVER EVAH EVAH!!!!!
What's behind the famous "French" tradition of burning cars???
First of all: what is actually "French" about this "tradition".
Secondly, what's behind it? Are you people for real.
I think I have saved the crack French police investigators A BIG WHACK OF EUROS.
Please send my reward ASAP.


I received an e-mail from Mike Morrell informing me I would be included among the book reviewers for TheOoze.com. My first book will be arriving soon. Pete Gall's new book My Beautiful Idol is considered in the vein of Donald Miller's Blue Like Jazz and Annie Lamott's Traveling Mercies. The genre "spiritual memoir" intrigues me. I wonder if in some ways this would also describe some of what my friend Jim Palmer is up to in Divine Nobodies.


Flemish Sour Ale, fermented with our own wild house yeast strain 'Morpheus'. This beer is the base beer for the barrel aged Cuvée Sofie (Cuvée Freddy dedicated to Sofie). A great balance between sweet and sour.

Q: Having multiple instances of a subclass in Swift I've subclassed a UICollectionViewCell in which there is a UIImageView. This image view is connected to an image view control on the story board. This is the subclass:
class ProfilesCell: UICollectionViewCell {
    @IBOutlet weak var ProfileImage: UIImageView!

    func setCell(item:Profile) {
        ProfileImage.image = UIImage(named: item.profileThumb)
        ProfileImage.layer.borderWidth = 0.5
        ProfileImage.layer.borderColor = UIColor.grayColor().CGColor
    }
}

I've created an instance of it and it works fine, but what about another instance? how can I choose it as a custom class for another UICollectionViewCell without reconnecting the ProfileImage to another control?
Or shall I connect that IBOutlet to the UIImageView at the first place?
Storyboard:

A:
This image view [from the cell] is connected to an image view control on the story board.

I assume that you are talking about a UICollectionViewCell prototype. In this case, the object that you manipulate in the story board is not the collection view cell, it's a prototype of all image view cells in your UIImageView.

I've created an instance of it and it works fine, but what about another instance?

This is precisely the scenario the designers of Swift had in mind, so everything should work the way you expect. When you call dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier: method, Cocoa instantiates the cell for you, "wires up" your ProfileImage to its UIImageView outlet, and gives you a cell that is ready for use.

A: If you want to use a UICollectionViewCell across multiple UICollectionView, you should create the UICollectionViewCell in a separate .xib.  In this case you will have ProfileCell.xib, and ProfileCell.swift.  In the .xib file you drag an instance of a UICollectionViewCell onto the screen and set it up the way you would as a prototype cell on a CollectionView.

Then you will need to register the cell with your collectionview.
    //set this up in viewDidLoad
    let nib = UINib(nibName: "ProfileCell", bundle: nil)
    self.collectionView!.registerNib(nib, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "ProfileCell")

Then in cellForItemAtIndexPath just reference the cell in the normal way
 func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
    cell =    self.collectionView?.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("ProfileCell, forIndexPath: indexPath) as! ProfileCell
    cell.setCell()
    return cell
 }

TNJ spoke with Ron Shinault, president of the National Minority Medical Suppliers Association (NMMSA), as his organization prepared for the 2004 MedSurg Conference and Expo, October 7-9, in Chicago, presented annually by the Health Industry Distributors Association (HIDA). Shinault spoke from his offices at COSH Healthcare Ltd., a distributor of medical diagnostic equipment supplies in Atlanta.
TNJ: What role does NMMSA play in the medical industry?
RON SHINAULT: NMSSA is an educational and advocacy organization that focuses on creating fair and equitable business opportunities for ethnic minority-owned businesses in the medical industry. We also have members who are, or have been, medical product manufacturers.
TNJ: How does NMMSA carry out its advocacy and educational mandates?
SHINAULT: In advocacy we focus on the public sector, working with agencies to develop their economic procurement plans as well as assisting them in meeting the goals they set in terms of diversity business utilization. Critically, we work with the government agencies in addressing the adverse impact of some of their policies on the viability of minority businesses. In the private sector, we have worked closely with group purchasing organizations and health-care provider organizations to make them aware that there are viable minority-owned businesses in the medical distribution arena that can help them meet some of their supplier diversity goals and objectives.
TNJ: What is NMMSA?s relationship with HIDA?
SHINAULT: NMMSA has an affiliate relationship with HIDA, since a majority of its members are medical supplies distributors. NMMSA?s educational programs usually are conducted during HIDA?s national trade show in concert with the HIDA programs. NMMSA also puts on educational programs independent of HIDA during midyear meetings.
TNJ:? What is the environment like for minority medical suppliers?
SHINAULT: What we?re finding is that the health-care industry in aggregate gets about 16 percent of its revenue from the federal government. Of that 16 percent, probably a third of that is coming from ethnic minorities. Yet, when we look at the business that hospitals do with minority-owned companies, it tends to be one-tenth of 1 percent, whereas minorities are contributing 25 percent to a third of their revenues to the federal government. The health-care industry is just now [realizing] that there is a benefit to working with minority-owned companies. They?re very much behind other industries because the dollars are so huge and the companies that share in those dollars are so reluctant to see their portion decrease to go toward minorities.
TNJ: What do you advise your members to do in such an environment?
SHINAULT: We encourage our members to become 8(a)-certified with the federal government because 8(a) is the only remaining program that creates federal contracting opportunities for companies that qualify. It gives you the opportunity to compete in a manner where you can develop sole-source contracts with agencies.
TNJ: How can supplier diversity executives be most effective?
SHINAULT: One of the most important criteria is that they must have the ability to talk directly with the senior-most executives of their organization . . . the CEO, the CFO, the executive VP of sales. They must have visibility and support within that level. They have to be knowledgeable about the hurdles that exist within their organization. They are in a position to communicate those hurdles to small companies that are trying to do business with the organization so they know up front what they can expect to encounter. A lot of diverse businesses tend to view the supplier diversity directors as an inroad to the organization. That?s not the case. The supplier diversity officer is an advocate, not a facilitator, because they are not given that type of power.? Organizations that are serious about supplier diversity, that realize that, with the growth of the minority population, this is the future gold mine of sales growth, those are the organizations that put people in [supplier diversity positions] who know how to work with others and can make the people in their own organization understand that supplier diversity is not a set-aside, not a quota, but a good business-growth strategy.

Mayo Radio Experimenters Network
The 2nd Mayo will be held on Sunday Nov 16 in the Belmont Hotel Knock, with doors open at 11.00 Over twenty traders have confirmed attendance including all the usual EI Traders, along with the many specialists which the Mayo rally seems to attract. These include PW, the leading independent radio magazine, with Rob Mannion the Editor available to meet readers. The club has also signed up a specialist dealer in new and used laptop computers, and two other computer dealers also confirmed.
This year Elekraft the US based manufacturer of HF kit-radios will be showing their products, and many builders of these radios will be on hand to discuss the kit building process with potential purchasers. Declan Craig EI6FR will be giving a presentation on DXpeditioning, and Brendan Minish EI6IZ will be making a presentation on PLC - power line communications.
The famous range of aluminium tubing - one of the talking points of last year's Mayo rally, will be available again this year, and a specialist supplier of valve & vintage radios is also confirmed. The club is also pleased to once again present Amateur Television amongst the exhibitors, and visitors may find the talk-in on two metres, 145.550 useful.
The location of the rally hasn't changed with breakfast and lunch available at the Belmont Hotel, along with accommodation at keen rates for rally goers.

If you are wondering why you may not be able to make contact on your favourite band, the answer is right out there in space. According to propagation reports from the Space Environment Center, a solar storm, centered around the largest sunspot in recorded history is responsible for the unusual radio conditions. This solar activity also resulted in bright auroras in the past week, which could clearly be observed from most parts of Ireland.
Sunspot 486 and 488 are active at present and likely to pose a continued threat of strong X-Class flares in the coming week.

Papua New Guinea Drops HF Morse Requirement
Papua New Guinea is the latest country to drop the CW requirment for access to the HF bands. The decision was taken on the 6th of October last.
HF Distance and Bearing Finder EI9CSB has informed us of a useful computer program for direction and distance finding called GEO 2005 ES. In short if you hear a Locator while listening on a band, you can enter your own locator and the one you heard, right away you have the position of the other station in Degree, Min, Sec. distance in Nautical Miles and Kilometres plus bearing in degrees. The program can be downloaded from home19.inet.tele.dk/oz1jm and is freeware. While this home page is in Danish, the keywords like Download are in English, and the program itself is available in an English language version. Other amateur programs are also available on this site.
Local and National Nets
Membership of AREN, the Voluntary Radio Communications Service, is continuing to grow and membership is becoming distributed over the country. The 2 metre local Nets and the national net on 80 meters 3.650 MHz plus or minus QRM, takes place on the first Tuesday of each month and the winter time for the HF net changes in October to 19:30 hrs local as opposed to 21:30 local during the summer months.
No special equipment or skills are needed to in order to become involved in the voluntary communications service.
Activation - The local VHF/UHF net was placed on standby by net control in the Cork area during September as a result of the activation of the local councils major emergency plan to deal with the circumstances surrounding a fire on the north side of the city. Six members stood by for twenty hours from 1600 on September 25th until 1200 on the 26th.
Training - Training manuals dealing with such areas as message handling, map reading and health and safety on major emergency sites are currently being prepared and group and individuals are to attend one-day training sessions. Anybody wishing to join these training events should make contact with the Public Service Organisers.
A 48-hour standby and call-in exercise using power provided by sources other than the national grid is planned for the near future. This is designed to prepare operators for a failure of the national grid, such as that experienced recently in the UK and in the US.
Contact can be made with the group through EI2GN at ketch@indigo.ie or on 021-4323283 during office hours or otherwise on 086-2593-005.
Items for inclusion in next weeks Radio News should be forwarded Mark Wall EI7IS. He can be contacted on 087-6302026. News can also be submitted via e-mail to news@irts.ie for automatic forwarding to both the radio and printed news services.


In the Sunday Business Post case, the Supreme Court has ruled that the Mahon Tribunal cannot designate information given to it by respondents and circulated privately as "confidential", and cannot obtain Court Orders preventing those who have illicitly obtained such personal information from publishing it. Justice Nial Fennely, giving the judgement of the Court, said: "The right of a free press to communicate information without obstruction or restraint is intrinsic to a free society." Supporting this position were Chief Justice John Murray and Justice Susan Denham (daughter of a former Editor of the Irish Times, Douglas Gageby).
A dissenting judgement was given by Justice Hugh Geoghegan, supported by Justice Adrian Hardiman.
It is generally thought that the principle laid down in the Sunday Business Post case will be applied to the benefit of Geraldine Kennedy, Editor of the Irish Times, and journalist, Colm Keena, in a further case being brought by the Mahon Tribunal.
The Sunday Business Post ruling makes it impossible for the current Tribunals to go on functioning, as personal information, submitted in confidence, has no legal protection. It is wholly unreasonable to expect those innocent in law submit themselves to such public scrutiny. Surely the Chairmen of these Tribunals have no option now, but to resign?
The 'corruption' Tribunals were devised as an anti-Fianna Fail tactic by the Progressive Democrats. The basic flaw in their functioning has been that presiding Judges, and Tribunal agents, have brought adversarial attitudes to what should be an inquisitorial system, aiming to establish objective truth. Even worse, the lower standards of proof which prevails in civil cases is applied to criminal matters in the Tribunal process. It is time to put a stop to this travesty of justice.
"In order to keep the process in motion [Tony] would be sort of dangling carrots and possibilities in front of the republicans which I thought could never e delivered…"
"resisted Mr. Blair and refused to write a "secret" letter to Sinn Féin offering a form of amnesty for IRA fugitives… (OTRs) in October 1999…" (14.3.07 IT).
"[Sinn Fein] were always operating psychological games on me—always. They are bloody hard people. There was very, very tough psychological game-playing—a lot of unspoken intimidation—and I played it back not by intimidating them but by not being fazed by it" (14.3.07 IN).
The full interview can be accessed on the Guardian website.
Curiously, prosecution "slippage" had Crown lawyers saying that their case would not be ready until the middle of May (after the power-sharing Executive has come into existence). Only one defendant remains accused of the robbery of 20th December 2004, Christopher Ward. He has been remanded on continuing bail to 28th March (15.3.07 IN).
In the South, Don Bullman, a Cork chef, was given 4 years' prison for IRA membership. He was widely reported as having money connected with the robbery in his possession in a Daz box. But there was not the evidence to link Bullman with the robbery. The judge pointed out that "Bullman was not charged in relation to possession of the money and there was no evidence of the money's origin or of any robbery" (21.2.07 IT). Incidentally, no further action seems to be contemplated against Phil Flynn, who has had his reputation ruined by the media on police incitement, egged on by Minister for Justice McDowell.
Omagh Bomber: With the only suspect for the 1998 Omagh Bombing, Sean Hoey, liable to be found Not Guilty within weeks, the PSNI has launched a new publicity campaign, appealing for public help. They would be better occupied asking Special Branch and the Spooks for help, as it seems very likely that the bombing was the action of an agent provocateur, acting on their behalf.
Community Policing: It seems that homes in Poleglass, Twinbrook and Lagmore areas of West Belfast are to be supplied with the mobile phone numbers of the police officers responsible for patrolling their areas (under Sector Commander, Acting Inspector Peter Brannigan). (22.3.07 IN).
Fianna Fail Councillors …have asked their party to open discussions with the SDLP about a merger, following motions passed in favour of organising in the North, and of maintaining "close links" with the SDLP, at recent Fianna Fail Ard Fheises and youth conferences. An SDLP spokesman responded: "When we have embedded proper power-sharing and partnership in our political system and made progress towards an agreed Ireland and a united people, that may be the time for considering what benefits party realignments might bring" (15.3.07 IN).
Loyalists …associated with the UDA are to get "£1.2 million to stop committing crimes", according to the Irish News. It comments editorially that this is intended to reduce "violence, intimidation, drug dealing and extortion. The government says that if there is no noticeable reduction in these activities, the funding will be withdrawn". However, the Ulster Political Research Group says: "Not one penny of this money will go to the UDA. The UDA have not asked for any money" (Frankie Gallagher, 23.3.07 IN).
In a "ground-breaking, historic and unprecedented" move, the UDA, including the Ulster Freedom Fighters, "has decided to accept the legitimacy of Sinn Féin's electoral mandate" at a meeting in Derry's Guildhall (23.2.07 it).
[Interviewer]——But the IRA has stood down, so why is there a need for Loyalism any more?
[Gallagher]——while the IRA and Sinn Fein have not given up their goal for a United Ireland, then they [UDA] can never give up their goal of defending Northern Ireland or defending Ulster and trying to maintain it as part of the UK."
As for decommissioning, the UPRG has not been authorised to even speak about it.
Liam Kennedy …will be remembered for the derisory two-figure vote he got at the last Westminster Election, when he stood against Gerry Adams to give the Catholics of West Belfast a chance to protest at the 'oppressive control of the community by Sinn Fein'. Is he the same "Dr. L. Kennedy" who has appealed in the Irish News for descendants of soldiers executed for cowardice or desertion during the Great War to contact Belfast Family And Community History at Rugby Road? (12.3.07 IN).
"In… 1974/75, although no one outside government was aware of the danger of a British withdrawal, it is now public knowledge that our whole island came nearer to chaos following the return to power in Britain of Harold Wilson who, during his last two years in office, sought to persuade his ministers to support such a British withdrawal from Northern Ireland.
"At a dinner hosted by a holidaying Jim Callaghan in west Cork during August 1975, when Jack Lynch (then opposition leader) and I were also relaxing in nearby parts of west Cork, we discussed with the British foreign secretary our concern about what seemed to be the danger of such a British withdrawal. And—as we now know from British cabinet papers published last year, and from the published diary of Wilson's aide Bernard Donoghue—three months later Callaghan, backed by Denis Healey and Merlyn Rees, blocked Wilson's proposal.
The danger to our State at that time was aggravated by the fact that we in government felt unable to strengthen the Army to deal with such a possible emergency because we feared that a move of that kind would have been misinterpreted by unionists as a threat to them, rather than as a precaution against IRA violence following a British withdrawal. And that could have precipitated a pogrom of nationalists…"
There is more in the same vein, and FitzGerald even goes so far as to say that "the IRA threat became apparent, in and after the Arms Crisis year of 1970"—a Jesuitical wording that implies, but does not actually say, that the Arms Crisis had to do with arming the IRA.
And, while washing their hands of responsibility for the North, the craven duo continued to interfere in the internal politics of Northern Ireland!
