clipper's remarks: There is no end to this Taser insanity.

Police used a Taser gun to restrain a resident outside of his home on Crain Avenue as it burned at about 4:30 a.m. Sunday.

The resident, Mike Bartlett, said he was returning from downtown for his cell phone when he noticed his sister's room on fire. He ran in to make sure she was not there and continued to find his friends in the basement and alert them of the fire. He said his cousin's girlfriend was sleeping upstairs so he went back in the house to retrieve her.

When he went got outside, Bartlett said police officers were at the end of the driveway. He said he approached them for help, but they dismissed him. As he walked toward one of his friends, he said the officers tackled and restrained him with the Taser gun, giving them no reason for their force.

According to the Kent City Police levels of resistance report, Bartlett used psychological and physical active resistance to avoid arrest. The report stated he was both combative and intoxicated.

The Passo dello Stelvio (Italian: Passo dello Stelvio; German: Stilfser Joch), located in Italy, at 2757 m (9045 ft.) is the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps, and the second highest in the Alps

located in the Italian Alps north of Bormio in the province of Sondrio and south of Stilfs in the province of Bolzano-Bozen, some 75 km (47 mi.) from Bolzano, close to the Swiss border

The "Three languages peak" (Dreisprachenspitze) above the pass is so named because this is where the Italian, German and Romansh languages meet.

clipper's remarks: "I think it is a compromise we can live with and it seems to be a compromise the White House can live with. It's certainly better than the status quo," Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press

The White House, key senators and media representatives have reached a compromise on legislation to protect reporters from being forced to disclose their confidential sources in federal court.

Senate supporters of the so-called media shield bill said Friday that the deal gives the government authority to override those rights in certain national security cases.

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said the agreement "strikes the right balance between national security concerns and the public's right to know." He said it would preserve a strong defense for reporters trying to protect sources while making sure the government can do its job of protecting citizens.

The Senate Judiciary Committee could take up the altered legislation next week.

Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and a member of the media team involved in the negotiations, said they were strongly recommending

A Somerset County man who insists he was growing marijuana to alleviate the symptoms of multiple sclerosis rejected the state Attorney General’s final plea offer today.

Franklin Township resident John Ray Wilson, 37, who is accused of first-degree maintaining or operating a drug-production facility for the 17 plants police found in August 2008, appeared before Superior Court Judge Robert Reed and said he understands that he could face a stiffer sentence.

Wilson also is charged with second-degree manufacturing and third-degree drug possession. The state offered him nine years in prison, with three years and three months mandatory. He faces up to 35 years, if convicted and sentenced consecutively.

Wilson’s case has drawn national attention amid the ongoing debate surrounding the New Jersey Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act, which would give patients of debilitating diseases structured access to the drug.

In many areas of New York City - and indeed in other cities around the world - pairs of sneakers are often found hanging from telephone wires and power lines.

But how do they get there - and what, if anything, do they symbolise? Ramon Goni goes to Brooklyn to find out more.

If you love bringing your dog around with you on your trips, take a look at what Honda offers with its Dog-Friendly Element. For an added $995 for the package, your dog will have a lightweight foldable entry ramp to enter and exit the cargo area with ease.

Clip Source: www.4wheelsnews.com

Engineered to integrate with factory precision into the Element EX, the Dog Friendly equipment is intended to accommodate the secure transportation of a dog in the cargo area within a nylon-webbed car kennel. In daily operation the car kennel helps prevent a dog from interfering with the driver in traffic by keeping the pet properly restrained and out of reach of the driver. In the event of a frontal collision, the kennel is intended to help restrain the dog behind the rear seats, reducing the chance for the pet to be injured - or to injure human occupants during a crash.

“Do I have the right to refuse this search?”

clipper's remarks: A retired Asst. Police Chief talks airport security. Well worth reading.

“Do I have the right to refuse this search?”

This is a question I heard many times during my law enforcement career. Often my answer was no. But occasionally it would be “yes,” followed by an admonition to have a good day.

Within the last few months, I have been singled out for “additional screening” roughly half the time I step into an airport security line.

I decided I needed more information to identify why

Little did I know this would be only the first of many questions I now have regarding my airport experiences.

I am left to wonder whether my own passive acceptance of these evolving search procedures has contributed to a potentially fatal dichotomy: what we allow TSA screeners to do in order to maximize efficiency and enhance our perception of safety, or what we really need them to do in order to preserve our rights and dignity and enhance our actual safety.

Internationalized Domain Names

clipper's remarks: Non-latin script domains approved by ICANN.

Clip Source: news.cnet.com

The organization responsible for managing the assignment of domain names and IP addresses has approved a new plan to allow non-Latin characters in Web extensions.

Known as Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), the system is designed to globalize the Net so regions around the world can use their own local alphabet characters to surf in cyberspace, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN, said Friday.

Calling IDNs the "biggest technical change" to the Internet since its birth 40 years ago, ICANN unanimously approved the plan on the final day of its six-day conference in Seoul.

IDNs will allow domain names to be to be written in native character sets, such as Chinese, Arabic, and Greek. In charge of managing domain names, ICANN has argued that IDNs are necessary to expand use of the Web in regions where people don't understand English. Since its inception, the Internet has been limited to the Latin character set used by the U.S. and many other nations.
