The number of boat arrivals this year is already outpacing a record set in 2014, with 7,882 counted during the first two months of 2015, a 43 percent increase on the same period a year earlier, according to the Interior Ministry. The U.N. refugee organisation UNHCR says at least 218,000 migrants crossed the Mediterranean by boat in 2014 and 3,500 lives were lost. The surging numbers prompted Interior Minister Angelino Alfano to renew calls for the European Union to do more to help Italy handle the massive immigration flows. http://www.trust.org/item/20150304161231-o3h0t/?source=gep

ISIS in panic mode and fear raids Christians in Syria and Tribes in Iraq to collect human shields, a good sign it is effectively on a back foot. The looming Iraq forces offensive should also slow rapidly the flow of Islamic foreign fighters from Europe more interested in commiting atrocities on disarmed civilians and raping ladies that belongs to local ethnic minorities than facing a true battle with Iraq armed forces when they are ready.

You have it here and with 25 000 combat troops ideally 30000 with the new ratio you get 75000 support which includes a wide range of services that can be outsources in some cases but anyway it gets close to 115000 altogether.

It is about how lucky I can feel sometime when I go to the dentist and when almost done he tells me that he will have to see me to pull out a tooth but not before 5 weeks because of a fortnight vacation and an overbooked schedule. Always thanking him for letting me know in advance so I can think about it every morning and night on the run up to the appointment. Kindness so rare these days.

Egypt’s “Cairo Court of Urgent Matters” issued a verdict banning Hamas and designating its military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, as “terrorist organizations.” The court ruled that:
- The group were implicated in bombings in Egypt.
- The brigades have been planning and financing terrorist attacks in Egypt.
- The brigades and Hamas have changed from their original objective of fighting the Israeli occupation, and is now aiming to target Egypt’s security.
A spokesman for Hamas said that the verdict was “dangerous,” and that “Al-Qassam Brigades are the symbol of resistance against the Israeli occupation, and a symbol of the [Palestinian] nation’s pride and dignity, despite all attempts at defamation.”

On Thursday, 12 people were killed as Al Qaeda seized the brigade’s camp at Baihan in Shabwa province and captured a large quantity of armour and heavy weaponry, a military official said, raising an earlier toll of seven dead.
The official said that eight soldiers and four Al Qaeda militants had died in the clashes.
Another official had said yesterday that the jihadists took “30 tanks, 90 military vehicles, 25 armoured vehicles and 28 artillery pieces”.

One more ugly person... Bill and Sean showed another author of degrading comments on Chris Kyle, the real man not the movie character which if it wasn't sad for Kyle's family would just be the opinion of someone ignorant and amazingly not very curious for a journalist. In fact hopefully he may have to apologize for the comments he made of someone that can't in personae respond today and further apologize for his lack of knowledge and understanding of the finest man and women in charge of protecting the freedoms he enjoys. Looking into what words and things that may have crossed a Vet's mind from a news desk by someone with no experience of these circumstances has no interest as anyone under combat circumstances or anytime thereafter has experienced or can experience rage against the enemy, what counts is only how it is dealt with, does that man or women in uniform overcomes that rage, sticks to the rule of engagement and focus on the missions and duties or not. The 99.99% do exactly that and so did M. Kyle so if the circumstances have lead him to experience some level of rage in a war with a never clear frontline often crossing civilians life with all the demanding self control such a situation requires, only people that have experienced a similar situation should allow themselves to judge whether or not a few words through a conversation means more than just the long contained emotions and frustrated feelings of a man who has endured the losses of comrades and kneeling emotional situations under combat. Harsh judgement of these words by someone who knows very little about himself in similar circumstances allows to reach the conclusion that he'd be very dangerous for civilians or himself should he come under the same kind of pressure. ?

Where it bleeds, it leads is true to some extent but it is possible to have a situation where the multiplication of where it bleeds is just the most obvious sign of a much wider and deeper struggle or even war. The burst of an offshoot of that wider and deeper wave inevitably attracts some attention and may be short lived depending on the circumstances and some prior offshoots have receded but the underlying wave has only grown and widened by the number of countries and regions of the world it affects.
This may not attract as much attention

Not that I know, not really a crisis, they play it drama style because they face angry voters but it is self inflicted for most of it essentially the result of no to the FCNM, no to the ECRML and repeated major security failures so the two traditional parties that have shared the power for the last two or three decades find themselves in the same situation than the lift maintenance service company after a major breakdown due to negligence offering to do the repairs.... the chances the company gets fired runs high.

Thinking the 1st Amend is winning the battle of free speech because of its pedagogical nature. Not that easy to decide in fact as banning altogether all the speeches deemed disturbing, inappropriate, utterly wrong remains a permanent temptation while doing so can soon when the history associated with the bans is ignored or not understood turn them into a list of orientated taboos and lead society as a whole to save on the relentless efforts necessary to permanently update the argued speeches praising the right over the evil wrong?

BFM tv compares First Amend & French laws on free speech
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/01/15/charlie-hebdos-moment-why-some-media-outlets-are-afraid-to-run-cover/
Personal opinion : Eventually it is good to know that after more than 200 years of such a powerful constitutional right, the first Amend of the Bill of Rights whose order on the Bill owns everything to the Great Architect secretaries has today more than just a legal dimension with Court consequences. It has irrigated the culture through a long history of the Supreme Court decisions always pointing to with great freedom comes great responsibility. If it is of course possible to find a small number of people who view the First Amend as an opportunity to express revolting and bad taste opinions and that is accepted as the tolerance to these extreme opinions often disgusting is the price to pay to keep alive and well the power of the First Amend to voice the grievances or injustices of the most disaffected minority.
Applied to the Islam's prophet depictions, with great freedom comes great responsibility lead me to consider the humiliation Muslims have voiced and avoid doing so. A Muslim can surely feel free under the First Amend to be a fierce critic of his own faith. Although it does not affect the freedom to comment that the latest FrontPage of Charlie's hebdo picturing a man with an oriental look holding a sign that says I am Charlie be read I am Muhammad the Islam prophet and seen as being what the prophet looks like draw some serious questions, among what image have Muslims of their prophet to think this depiction could actually be him.

I'd go for High School Marching Bands in association with the USSBA. Thinking that the honour to be on the grass that special day will be a lifetime memory helping them since they have fought for it which does not exclude what the NFL seems to consider a fundamental link to pop culture which helps broaden the television audience and interest nation wide. Why not both and ask the NFL a pro bono spot in the half time, a service to the nation's youth.

Not sure I like very much M. Williams proposal at the end of the clip :-)
It may be that the President knows that the border between Radical Islam and Islam runs very thin up to the point that no one in these societies is immune or ignores the content and views of the section of society supporting it, eventually turning into a majority when associated with social factors, Iran overthrow of the monarchy, Algeria overthrow of the revolutionaries the army cancelled the election, Egypt the army reclaimed power and thinner as the demographics of the region gain momentum inviting to conquest and will increase the pressure on precarious social structures. I can't say I like it but the effort may have been to slow the processes at work in these societies because you can't have it worse, the mankind worst instincts supported by the good conscience of fulfilling the Almighty's will, May be more toxic than Nazism was by reaching out to a larger crowd than just one nation.
If it all go wrong at once it narrows the options to the only one of last resort which has all the chances to prove undeterrent on a caliphat of chaos leaving the delegated management option by an above suspicion entity a better than no solution.
Leaving to open debate the legitimate questions the public has regarding the worse case scenario, are we ready? Do we have the means and our leaders the will to protect and defend our borders and security?
The security failures that lead to successful terrorist acts have brought into the public debate a new question about Democracies leaders will to fight reinforced by the radical Islam organisations advertising they don't, making the task to actually do while preserving the civility of modern societies one more challenge.

Soon to be in love with Morgan, looks inevitable. Thanks to Adam. Just kidding but be honest, what are her chances to keep her business flourishing if she does otherwise, would you stay around a fire range with next to you a guy with an Allahu Akbar phone ring bell or anyone deem to belong to the kind of organisation that has at some point in history seen some of its members engaged in violence and killings. I wouldn't feel comfortable. Thinking of what leads me to wonder how to deal with the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 which is the law of the Land and no one not even Morgan thinks it shouldn't apply, her reference to we are not making wedding cakes here but shooting with lethal weapons pointing to her decision would be different had she been running a bakery she wouldn't be banning anyone clearly appear through that statement. Therefore it looks only fair to admit that her decision to run her gun range business not accepting people she thinks may have been in contact with a criminal ideology and in this specific case "radical Islam" has more ties with her obligations to take every measure possible to insure her customers security than it has to do with the violation of the civil rights act of 1964 and the suspected prejudice her opponents pretend she has towards Muslims, her decision to belong to her discretionary power to ban anyone she thinks unfit to practice the use of fire arms in the premises she owns.
Is it fair? It isn't but is it a violation of the civil rights act motivated by an underlying ideology of hatred towards Muslims as her opponents pretend or is it the result of circumstances that runs from the majority of her existing customers reaction and the financial liability tied to their loss, her obligation to take every step possible to insure her customers security exposing her liability and her right to run a successful business. I go for number two. I don't think she will play the private club game which is odious and perjury rarely helps, it is a private club or it isn't not to mention that often it is a game that has been used to shelter less admissible motives.
Finally, she was very straight forward in answering the questions with sometime candour honouring her however a legal advice on how to both fulfill her legal obligations better and improve her evaluation techniques of unsuitable individuals for the practice of firearms to replace the patronyms examination is suitable I think and I hope she will get it.
The Federal authorities have no tax money to waste for some entities to score political points when a situation where clearly no ideology or militants groups are involved can be solved with a little help eventually by people of goodwill. Will ask Kim.

The credit for these initiatives takes over the disagreement of opinion about a movie. Wish I could convince him it is good cinema and values the best in mankind through what may appear at a first glance a biased recounting of events when you have strong feelings on the political side which he has but it is not what this movie is about.

Not that I know but this campaign against the movie is turning truly ugly and really in bad faith, I read that among many other things "majority of the violent threats we have seen over the past few days are result of how Arab and Muslims are depicted in American Sniper" .
Common sense dictates :
Common sense dictates :
- This a movie not a documentary which characteristics are fictional characters
- The characters fighting US Troops depicted in the movie are Enemy combatants
- Author and producer can't be held accountable for how viewers or the public identify themselves with or identify fictional third parties in the movie, it is everyone's responsibility
- Allegations from the victims of poor behaviors finding excuses and explanation for the perpetrators are uncommon and shall be considered with circumspection
I did. Soon to reach the delirium Himalayan heights, American sniper behind "anti Muslim threats"... The drunk guy isn't to be blamed for the the whiskey producer's fault to have mixed in the substance some alcohol...Sure...
M about to write Warner Bros to ask for a series of episodes of American sniper to avoid the binge effect and emphasize about the important dialogue that this picture has generated about the veteran experience. What do u think of it?

Because that propaganda movie accusation is just stupid. It doesn't make any sense. America sells a lot of stuff but not ideology, none in the warehouse, you make propaganda to support an ideology not to mention that given the guy u ask Clint Eastwood to make a propaganda thing even if u were the President my bet is u will be told to go to hell. How do u want to have an ideology to support when the Constitution first words are We The People... it is just incompatible.
When I first read there was a controversy I looked at what's available to read and watch and I thought it is weird really. If it was just about killing 160 something enemies it makes Chris Kyle a very successful professional but it doesn't make a movie, it takes more than that and it is more than a hero thing as well since in a way any Service member that was in combat situation is at least for his a hero, so it is always a combination of a situation and someone special through both his personal history and time under the uniform. I think what shows it best is when he went to Bill O'Reilly's show and that he repeated twice that his focus was on making sure that as many as possible return home safely, if you pay attention, anyway I felt it like that, he was talking to himself just trying for the 999 time to persuade himself that there was nothing else to do. It is the combination of the lethal professional he was and how uncomfortable he felt about it that made him special I'd say.
Below the numbers I mentioned
http://www.amrf.fr/Dossiers/Parit%C3%A9pourlescommunes.aspx there is the need to add other spending budgets covering wider areas (I m looking into it) that said that fight isn't the right one it will lead nowhere rurality verses urbanity may be wrong but it is ok to engage in these policies and the national minorities will never have I insist never a political majority winning a fight in parliament to reverse the amount of spending per capita for urban areas in favor of a redeployment in favor of rural areas. Nonetheless if looking through the state spending per capita map to the ethnic map, and what you see is that the so called rural areas of less state spending per capita coincide with concentration of large numbers of national minorities group, Bro you have something prosecute able If I may say. This is a game changer can't win the political fight rural verses urban the political numbers are at play u loose, before the Court, plain and simple discrimination of state pending per capita showing a clear disadvantage running up to 50% in some cases essentially targeting certain national ethnic minorities, that is an entire different story. Now it is a lot of work, can help but u guys can prepare aspirin because it needs to collect a lot of numbers and won't be an easy fight.

Not sure it is intentional to be absolutely honest. There isn't a culture among elected officials of accountability for anything themselves, legislation, policies or spending. So can the Court order the state to produce the materials they need to investigate how the tax euros are used is what they will look forward to.
Have found u some numbers but it isn't spread to ease the task. Will post u the link a bit later. Officially the French state pretends principles are behind its decision to not collect or publish statistics ethnic Information which leads to this situation where it can be valuably argued it opposes public spending transparency and accountability making the task for citizen organisations to investigate any area of the state policies results almost impossible.
It depends on where u look at the definition but generally speaking the lawyers are looking into we have two abusers Turkey and France and the idea is there must be consequences to some extent, legal, that could lead to the invalidation by the Court of judicial decisions made in the two incriminated states regarding the individuals that belongs to native nations or national minorities denied all or part of the legal provisions the FCNM and the ECRML provide to protect their interests (ie FCNM part of the Human Rights convention section 1 article 1. Examining if these legal provisions may or may not have played a determining role in the initial judicial decision is irrelevant.
Not sure it is complicated system of state redistribution budget to cities where it is alleged the national minorities are deliberately discriminated getting in some cases up to less than 50% of what Immigrants or Immigrants descent get. The average looks to show they could well be right. Although the state argues they are no ethnic discrimination against national minorities, the amounts redistributed (per individual) is based on cities size not racially or ethnically determined. It remains to be seen but clearly the budget policies results show some ethnic group are disadvantaged which in itself is sufficient to look at the legal consequences.

It looks going south
Shiite insurgents control Yemen’s presidential palace and residence
R u surprised by the controversy, cause I m. Not sure I get what it is about, the movie isn't about celebrating war, snipers or death, it is about celebrating the heart and the soul of American values, honor, courage, commitment and ductus exemplo through Chris Kile's life showing the ups, downs and soul challenges he faced on duty. Given Clint Eastwood film making history it could not have been otherwise I guess. Can only thank @MMFlint for posting that link.

According to the regional newspaper Midi Libre, "a cache explosives" was discovered not far from the Sauclières stadium on Béziers.
The newspapers police sources said firefighters were sent to the scene as a precaution. It also claimed that 100 grams of TATP explosives were found in apartment in Béziers . That is the same kind of substance that were used in the Boston marathon bombing.
One of those arrested lives in Béziers and another "probably" in the Mediterranean city of Montpellier, said the prosecutor.
Investigators are trying to find the addresses of three other individuals held in custody.
According to Midi Libre one of those held was implicated in a 2008 bombing in Montpellier, which left several people injured.
The disturbing part of the story being why isn't he behind bars after 8 people injured, two seriously.... ??
Don't bother just wondering.
Just thought that since many in Europe don't have a very high opinion of US Sheriffs it is an opportunity they can witness first hand that Haynes Sheriff is a good man, clearly stating he prefers suspects to surrender and giving otherwise consequences in a way suspects will be poorly inspired to pretend they ignored. That said most Sheriffs if not all are exactly like that they prefer to avoid gunfights but if they are challenged suspects shouldn't doubt the inevitable outcome.
By the way relations with Qatar just popped in the debate as some French politicians want answers following a US treasury report, what are the chances they ignore Qatari security people activities around Paris?

If they are to be reasonable the two conventions are the right path to remedy a deteriorated situation. The underlying factors are multiple and run from the denied competition of interests between successive wave of Immigrants, the long time overdue end of abuse of native nations interests and neglect as well as an education system that fails to teach the basic principles such as the rule of law, democracy, judicial system that are just as necessary than write, read and count.
What was it about
What was it about
Look it is a foreign country, a foreign language unknown grounds and to be honest eventually not very friendly so apologies are just as fine as asking a French reporter to apologise for reporting 20 years ago on Harlem making some racial assumption and jumping to conclusions a bit quickly of how America is a racist society something they do on a regular basis and did again when speaking of the events of Ferguson neglecting a range of scientific evidence.
Generally speaking to end this stuff, up to close to the end of President Bush presidency may be a little before that u r right CNN had a share but after the accusations of War crimes and torture, the tone, most moved to Fox because it is unacceptable given what can be seen from people with just a microphone and a tvcam, many prefer not to know what they would do with a weapon and a uniform and surely would refuse to be in the same unit.
Got it.

No he hasn't. I have no idea and didn't hear much about it. It came briefly on air but well it isn't truly a surprise before that incident if ever it did take place the network was nicknamed f### news since a number of people who were not great fans of President Bush had assumed the network was more a Republican support agency than a News network.
So what r u asking me?

It is difficult cause every time I end up doing both so...
But to make it short two categories object the strongest to both conventions in France the religious radicals and the politic extremists. The two sharing the same intolerance to the sleeping policemen any legal framework represents, slowing their endless race to impose their standards onto everybody whatever these standards may be. The two as well can't stand any legal exception that reduces the vulnerability of the most exposed in society to their set of tyrannies and views of equality used to disguise their will to abuse the rights of the minorities they fear the legitimacy to withstand their will.
Among the arguments used the division factor is ridiculous, these two conventions pursue the contrary. Will post u more tomorrow.

I don't know if they have, they do complain about two apps Skype and Snapchat for which allegedly they don't have a backdoor.
Among their true woes, inability to reassure main street leads to nearly 60 alleged islamophobic acts running from mosque degradation with paint, a couple of arson and some pork items moved from the general meat section to the Halal meat section in supermarkets which of course is against the law or of bad taste. Nonetheless, they have been unable to just be reassuring with a simple statement making clear that feeling uncomfortable in the presence of people wearing militant Islamic outfit and or supporting Islamic proselytic speeches is perfectly understandable and absolutely admissible however the rule of law and good education are our pride and we ask everyone feeling anger, disgust to scrupulously be law abiding citizen.
Anger often leads to make mistake and no help is offered as to how express this anger and frustration with a speech within the law boundaries.

What does it say?
The recollection is still on going but it points to the same initial over all picture. Self inflicted for most of it.
The recollection is still on going but it points to the same initial over all picture. Self inflicted for most of it.
- Not discussed any more, loose security, unprofessional behaviour and poor thinking of habits around a target with an iconic potential made the almost perfect opportunity.
- Gov policies and speech for years clearly perceived as weakness easily redeployed to support rigorous Islam with little opposition as officials are trapped meddling in religious affairs with political correctness and racism hanging over every word they use
- Spreading Lawlessness, the rule of law not a priority in education
- FCNM and ECRML not ratified and not implemented complete the overall feeling of state and lawmakers weakness and inability to rule on difficult matters
- Demographic momentum powering the competition within the Islamic community for its leadership rewards better extreme views. A situation complicated by France' passed with North Africa, moderate leaders easily accused and seen within the community as "Harkis", in other words, those yesterday accomplices of the French state in the war against the independence of North African Nations are today replaced by accomplices of the French state war against true Islam and are today's traitors.
They will update as it comes in
