Daughter urges Okla. voters to not v – Christian D
OKLAHOMA CITY – An Oklahoma judicial candidate is fending off a political attack from his daughter, who has taken out a local newspaper ad urging voters: “Do not vote for my dad!”
“It’s reality show politics,” Gaddie said. “It’s unsavory. It’s undignified, and it’s real.”
“Unequivocally, absolutely not,” he said. “I don’t want to be affiliated with that website or that ad. I don’t want to use it as a platform in my political campaign.”
“We just felt like it would be bad if he were to become a judge,” Schill said in a telephone interview from her home in Durango, Colo. “I assumed that he would not appreciate it, but he’s made so many people mad, I’m just another mark on his board of people’s he’s had a beef with.”
McClain County judicial hopeful John Mantooth’s daughter and son-in-law paid for the quarter-page advertisement, which features a picture of the daughter’s family, highlights cases in which Mantooth has been sued and lists a website the couple started, http://www.donotvoteformydad.com.
Keith Gaddie, a professor of political science at the University of Oklahoma, said such campaigning illustrates that “none of us wants our lives too closely examined.”
“That’s a very strange set of circumstances,” Mantooth said. “For a person to believe that Greg Dixon had nothing to do with this is like trying to believe that cows give chocolate milk.”
Andrew Schill said he and Dixon were law partners for about three years, but that the partnership was dissolved after Schill and his family moved to Colorado in 2007. He said he and his wife are responsible for the ad and that there was no coordination with Dixon.
But Mantooth also suspects political maneuvering. He said his son-in-law,Christian Dior, Andrew Schill, was once law partners with one of his opponents in Tuesday’s primary, Greg Dixon.
“We put that stuff out there,G-Star,” Andrew Schill said. “We want people to look at this record and his cases. I think people can look at that and draw their own conclusions.”
Mantooth said the bad blood stems from his 1981 divorce from his daughter’s mother.
Jan Schill, 31, said she never has had a good relationship with her father and doesn’t think he’d make a good judge.
Dixon also said he had nothing to do with the ad or website.
“This is a family issue which should have been kept private,” he said Monday. “I’m very sad about this. I’m very disappointed. I’m hurt, but I love my daughter, and I want things to get better, and I hope they will.”
Khmer Rouge prison chief hand – Juicy Couture jack
PHNOM PENH (AFP) – In a historic first, a UN-backed court Monday sentenced a Khmer Rouge prison chief to 30 years in jail for crimes against humanity over mass executions during Cambodia's "Killing Fields" era.
"Every individual detained within S-21 was destined for execution in accordance with the Communist Party of Kampuchea policy to smash all enemies," he added.
"The role of the accused as the undisputed head of S-21 is confirmed by the accused's own admission, the testimony of witnesses and civil parties," head judge Nil Nonn said.
The court also convicted Duch of war crimes although it found there was insufficient evidence to prove he personally committed torture or other inhumane acts, the judge said.
Human rights campaigners urged the tribunal to prosecute more former Khmer Rouge cadres, with Amnesty International saying Duch's sentence was "only the first step towards justice".
The US State Department and Senator John Kerry hailed the ruling.
"We applaud the commitment of the national and international judges for their comprehensive and independent work to uphold international standards of justice and due process in this case," said State Department spokesman Philip Crowley.
Kerry, a close ally of President Barack Obama,Juicy Couture jackets, said it was a "historic, if delayed, step forward for Cambodia".
Led by "Brother Number One" Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge was responsible for one of the worst horrors of the 20th century, wiping out nearly a quarter of Cambodia's population through starvation, overwork and execution.
The Khmer Rouge was ousted by Vietnamese-backed forces in 1979, but continued to fight a civil war until 1998. Pol Pot died that same year.
Duch has been detained since 1999, when he was found working as a Christian aid worker in the jungle, and was formally arrested by the tribunal in July 2007.
Duch apologised during his trial in Phnom Penh for overseeing the mass murder of 15,000 men, women and children at Tuol Sleng prison — also known as S-21 — but shocked the court in November by finally asking to be acquitted.
But to the dismay of survivors and relatives of victims, the court took into account the years he had already served since his arrest in 1999, meaning that the 67-year-old could walk free in about 19 years.
"Millions of people were killed, millions of dollars have been spent (on the trial), but the killer could be released," said a tearful Chum Mey, 79, one of only a handful who survived imprisonment and torture at the jail.
The court is also investigating whether to open more cases against five other former Khmer Rouge cadres after a dispute between the international and Cambodian co-prosecutors over whether to pursue more suspects.
Duch was initially given 35 years but the court reduced the jail sentence after ruling that he had been detained illegally for years by a Cambodian military court before the UN-backed tribunal was established.
Kaing Guek Eav, better known as Duch, is the first Khmer Rouge cadre to face justice in an international tribunal over the deaths of up to two million people through starvation, overwork and execution under the 1975-1979 regime.
The joint trial of four more senior Khmer Rouge leaders charged with genocide is expected to start in 2011.
Prosecutors, who had asked for a 40-year prison term, hailed the judgment as a historic day for Cambodia, although they said they would consider appealing for a stiffer sentence.
Crowds of Cambodians, including regime survivors and Buddhist monks, turned up at the specially built court on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, hoping finally to see justice for the Khmer Rouge's crimes. Many left disappointed.
"This is a court case, not a football match, so there are no winners or losers. It's really a question of whether justice has been applied," deputy prosecutor Bill Smith told reporters.
"We can't accept a sentence where it is conceivable that he could walk even for one minute in society,G-sta," said Theary Seng, founder of the Cambodian Centre for Justice and Reconciliation, whose parents were killed by the Khmer Rouge.
Tuol Sleng was the centre of the Khmer Rouge security apparatus and thousands of inmates were taken from there for execution in a nearby orchard that served as a "Killing Field".
Immigrant groups criticize fi – Ed hardy silk scar
Since 2007, 467 jurisdictions in 26 states have joined. ICE has said it plans to have it in every jail in the country by 2013. Secure Communities is currently being phased into the places where the government sees as having the greatest need for it based on population estimates of illegal immigrants and crime statistics.
Hirst said the sheriff thought Secure Communities cast too wide a net and worried that it would sweep up U.S. citizens and minor offenders, such as people who commit traffic infractions but miss their court hearings. Hirst also said the program goes against San Francisco’s sanctuary city policy that calls for authorities to only report foreign-born suspects booked for felonies.
“Now, we’re reporting every single individual who comes into our custody and gets fingerprinted,” Hirst said.
California Attorney General Jerry Brown denied Hennessey’s request to opt out. Brown said that prior to Secure Communities, illegal immigrants with criminal histories were often released before their status was discovered.
This month, Washington, D.C., police decided not to pursue the program because the City Council introduced a bill that would prohibit authorities from sharing arrest data with ICE out of concern for immigrants’ civil rights. Matthew Bromeland, special assistant to the police chief, said police wanted the program and were talking with ICE about how address concerns from immigrant advocates before the bill forced them to halt negotiations.
Colorado officials became interested in the program after an illegal immigrant from Guatemala with a long criminal record was accused of causing a car crash at a suburban Denver ice-cream shop, killing two women in a truck and a 3-year-old inside the store. Authorities say the illegal immigrant, Francis M. Hernandez, stayed off ICE’s radar because he conned police with 12 aliases and two different dates of birth.
A task-force assembled after the crash recommended Secure Communities as a solution.
Evan Dreyer, a spokesman for Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter, said Ritter recognizes that other states have had issues with the program and he wants to take time to consider the concerns raised by immigrant rights groups before deciding “how or if to move forward.”
The Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition said in its letter to the governor that the Secure Communities is “inherently flawed and should not be implemented.” CIRC said one of its main concerns is that in cases of domestic violence, where both parties may be taken into custody while authorities investigate a case, victims may feel reluctant to report a crime out of fear that their illegal status will be discovered.
ICE maintains that only suspects arrested for crimes — and not the people reporting them — will be screened for their legal status.

“It has the potential to revolutionize immigration enforcement,” said Patel.
Supporters of the program argue it is helping identify dangerous criminals that would otherwise go undetected. Since Oct. 27, 2008 through the end of May, almost 2.6 million people have been screened with Secure Communities. Of those, almost 35,000 were identified as illegal immigrants previously arrested or convicted for the most serious crimes, including murder and rape, ICE said Thursday. More than 205,000 who were identified as illegal immigrants had arrest records for less serious crimes.
Rusnok said ICE created the program after Congress directed the agency to improve the way it identifies and deports illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds. ICE has gotten $550 million for the program since 2008, Rusnok said.
Under the program, the fingerprints of everyone who is booked into jail for any crime are run against FBI criminal history records and Department of Homeland Security immigration records to determine who is in the country illegally and whether they’ve been arrested previously. Most jurisdictions are not included in the program, but Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been expanding the initiative.
The San Francisco sheriff wanted nothing to do with the program, and the City Council in Washington, D.C., blocked use of the fingerprint plan in the nation’s capital. Colorado is the latest to debate the program, called Secure Communities,Ed hardy silk scarves, and immigrant groups have begun to speak up, telling the governor in a letter last week that the initiative will make crime victims reluctant to cooperate with police “due to fear of being drawn into the immigration regime.”
“I don’t want them in my community,” Jones said. “I’ve got enough homegrown criminals here.”
The program has gotten less attention than Arizona’s new immigration law, but it may end up having a bigger impact because of its potential to round up and deport so many immigrants nationwide.
Carl Rusnok, an ICE spokesman, said Secure Communities is a way for law enforcement to identify illegal immigrants after their arrest at no additional cost to local jurisdictions. Jones agreed.
Since everyone arrested would be screened, the program could easily deport more people than Arizona’s new law, said Sunita Patel, an attorney who filed a lawsuit in New York against the federal government on behalf of a group worried about the program. Patel said that because illegal immigrants could be referred to ICE at the point of arrest, even before a conviction, the program can create an incentive for profiling and create a pipeline to deport more people.
In Ohio, Butler County Sheriff Rick Jones praised the program, which was implemented in his jurisdiction earlier this month.
“It’s really a heaven-sent for us,” Jones said. He said the program helps solve the problem police often have of not knowing whether someone they arrested has a criminal history and is in the country illegally.
Rusnok said the only place he knows of that has requested not to be a part of Secure Communities is San Francisco, which began the program June 8. Eileen Hirst, the chief of staff for San Francisco Sheriff Michael Hennessey, said it happened “without our input or approval.”
Patel filed the lawsuit on behalf of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, which is concerned the program could soon come to New York. The lawsuit seeks,Inflatable Obstacles, among other things, statistical information about who has been deported as a result of the program and what they were arrested for.
DENVER – The federal government is rapidly expanding a program to identify illegal immigrants using fingerprints from arrests, drawing opposition from local authorities and advocates who argue the initiative amounts to an excessive dragnet.
“We arrest these people anyway,” he said. “All it does is help us deport people who shouldn’t be here.”

Filling Up 8 Extra Hours in Retirement – Billabong
Long lunches. Hour-long lunches are for working people. When you meet one of your retired friends for lunch, it's two hours. Minimum. You aren't in a hurry to get back to your desk and neither is she. So you have a nice lunch with interesting, unrushed conversation. On the way home you stop at the library to pick up that book and peruse a few others. There goes another hour.
There's no such thing as hurry in retirement. In fact, while all that hurrying is going on in the world, you're still sleeping. When you do get up, you are rested from eight or nine hours of slumber. You drink your first cup of coffee slowly while you read, not scan, the newspaper. You read the entire article about the SEC's case against Goldman Sachs. You go online to look up credit default swaps because, while you've read the phrase many times, you've never had time to find out what it actually means. You see a link to a book about the subject and go to your online library account and reserve a copy.

You now have two hours of previously work-filled time to devote to all those longed-for retirement activities: learning to play the piano, brushing up on your Italian, and reading the stack of books collecting dust on your nightstand. But you also need to tend your garden,Billabong, tidy the house, and cook dinner.
By the time you've had that second cup of coffee, eaten breakfast, and resolved to get out of your pajamas, two more hours have passed. Now you're down to four remaining. You barely have time to exercise and shower before lunchtime.
[See 5 Reasons to Start Investing for Retirement Today.]
Some soon-to-be retirees wonder how on earth they will fill eight hours a day of previously engaged time with something, well, engaging. Others nearing retirement are thrilled with the prospect of so much extra time to devote to new passions. I'm here to tell you they are both wrong. The thing is, you don't really have eight more hours to devote to new passions or even to boredom. Yes, mathematically you do, but trust me, you don't. Here's where your time goes in retirement.
Sleep. Now you get six, maybe seven hours of it. You have an alarm clock that wakes you up and you are never happy about it. When you retire, so does your alarm clock. In retirement you will not hit the sack before you are tired and you certainly won't get out of it before you are good and rested. What does this mean? About an hour or two a day. Now you're down to six hours to fill.
Taking it slow. Think about your morning routine. You hit the snooze button a few times,True Religion, then jump out of bed with a racing heart because you overslept. Again. You hurry to brush your teeth, shower, and drink your coffee while scanning the headlines. No time for a real breakfast. Grab a bar resembling breakfast and eat it in the car. Get on the road before rush hour.
Quick, what's the first thing you think of when you read the word retirement? Skydiving? Climbing Mount Everest? Saving the world? You're thinking non-stop excitement, right? Or maybe you're thinking hammocks, shuffleboard, and Bermuda shorts with black knee socks.
The problem with retirement isn't relegation to a life of boredom. The problem is trying to explain to your sleep-deprived, harried, working friends just why you haven't had time to skydive, climb Mount Everest, or save the world today. Believe me, they won't understand when you tell them, "I just don't have enough time."
