Poles talk about CIA prison, breaking silence

WARSAW, Poland (AP) ? For years, the notion that Poland could allow the CIA to operate a secret prison in a remote lake region was treated as a crackpot idea by the country's politicians, journalists and the public.

A heated political debate this week reveals how dramatically the narrative has changed.

In a string of revelations and political statements, Polish leaders have come closer than ever to acknowledging that the United States ran a secret interrogation facility for terror suspects in 2002 and 2003 in the Eastern European country.

Some officials recall the fear that prevailed after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and defend the tough stance that former U.S. President George W. Bush took against terrorists.

But the debate is sometimes tinged with a hint of disappointment with Washington, as if Poland's young democracy had been led astray ? ethically and legally ? by the superpower that it counts as a key ally, and then left alone to deal with the fallout.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Thursday that Poland has become the "political victim" of leaks from U.S. officials that brought to light aspects of the secret rendition program.

In his most forthcoming comments on the matter to date, Tusk said an ongoing investigation into the case is proof of Poland's democratic credentials and that Poland cannot be counted on in the future in such clandestine enterprises.

"Poland will no longer be a country where politicians ? even if they are working arm-in-arm with the world's greatest superpower ? could make some deal somewhere under the table and then it would never see daylight," said Tusk, who took office four years after the site was shuttered.

"Poland is a democracy where national and international law must be observed," Tusk said. "This issue must be explained. Let there be no doubt about it either in Poland or on the other side of the ocean."

To some, it sounded like a long-delayed admission that Poland allowed the U.S. to run the secret site, where terror suspects were subjected to harsh interrogation tactics that human rights groups consider torture.

"This statement is quite different from any others," said Adam Bodnar, a human rights lawyer with the Helsinki Foundation in Warsaw. "From the general context, he's kind of admitting that something is in the air. You can feel that this is an indirect confirmation."

For years Polish officials and the public treated the idea that the CIA ran a prison in Poland as absurd and highly unlikely ? even after the United Nations and the Council of Europe said they had evidence of its existence. Polish officials repeatedly rebuffed international calls for serious investigations. The idea slowly only began to get serious consideration after Polish prosecutors opened an investigation into the matter in 2008.

A new breakthrough came Tuesday when a leading newspaper, Gazeta Wyborcza, reported that prosecutors have charged a former spy chief, Zbigniew Siemiatkowski, for his role in allowing the site. Siemiatkowski was reportedly charged with depriving prisoners of war of their freedom and allowing corporal punishment.

Siemiatkowski has refused to comment, telling The Associated Press he was bound by secrecy laws on the matter. But he did not deny the report.

The issue is hugely sensitive because any Polish leaders who would have cooperated with the U.S. program would have been violating Poland's constitution, both by giving a foreign power control over part of Polish territory and allowing crimes to take place there.

Any officials who were involved could ? in theory ? be charged with serious crimes, including crimes against humanity.

Former U.S. President George W. Bush writes in his memoir "Decision Points" that he ordered the CIA to subject about 100 terror detainees to harsh interrogation techniques, arguing the methods did not constitute unlawful torture and that they produced intelligence that prevented further attacks. Neither he nor the CIA have officially said where the "black sites" were based, but intelligence officials, aviation reports and human rights groups say they included Afghanistan and Thailand as well as Poland, Lithuania and Romania.

Former CIA officials have told the AP that a prison in Poland operated from December 2002 until the fall of 2003, and that prisoners were subjected to harsh questioning and waterboarding in Stare Kiejkuty, a village set amid in a lush area of woods and lakes. Human rights groups believe about eight terror suspects were held in Poland, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks; Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a Saudi national charged with orchestrating the attack in 2000 on the USS Cole that killed 17 sailors; and Abu Zubaydah, a Palestinian terror suspect.

Poland is the only country that has opened a serious investigation into the matter, something which Bodnar says is a sign of maturing in this 23-year-old democracy, with prosecutors, journalists and human rights lawyers all trying to seek truth and accountability.

"Poland deserves credit for this step, as the first European state to begin to deal with CIA torture on its own soil," said Cori Crider, legal director for Reprieve, a British human rights group.

The Polish leaders in office at the time ? former President Aleksander Kwasniewski and former Prime Minister Leszek Miller ? have vehemently denied the prison's existence.

But they nonetheless have voiced support for the rendition program in principle, arguing that the U.S. and its allies were at war with terrorists after the Sept. 11 attacks and that tough measures were needed.

"I will always stand on the side of hurt women, children and the victims of attacks," Miller said in a radio interview this week. "I won't shed tears for murderers. A good terrorist is a dead terrorist."

Even former President Lech Walesa, the iconic democracy fighter, said he is "against torture ... but this is war and war has its particular rules."

Miller, the head of the Democratic Left Alliance, an opposition party, has been the main target of criticism by political opponents this week. Some even say he should face the State Tribunal, a special court charged with trying state figures.

Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz, a senator who was the foreign minister when the site operated, said Miller should take responsibility for what happened 10 years ago.

"About a CIA prison in Poland, if it existed, I didn't know," Cimoszewicz said on Radio RMF FM. "But everything indicates that the CIA used a villa in Stare Kiejkuty."

Human rights lawyers and activists welcome the new openness.

"There is some satisfaction here," said Bodnar. "The most important thing is accountability. Intelligence agencies cooperate with each other, but after this they will remember that they need to obey the constitution and that some things they cover up could become public at some point."

Honeycombs of magnets could lead to new type of computer processing

ScienceDaily (Mar. 30, 2012) ? Scientists have taken an important step forward in developing a new material using nano-sized magnets that could ultimately lead to new types of electronic devices, with greater processing capacity than is currently feasible, in a study published recently in the journal Science.

Many modern data storage devices, like hard disk drives, rely on the ability to manipulate the properties of tiny individual magnetic sections, but their overall design is limited by the way these magnetic 'domains' interact when they are close together.

Now, researchers from Imperial College London have demonstrated that a honeycomb pattern of nano-sized magnets, in a material known as spin ice, introduces competition between neighbouring magnets, and reduces the problems caused by these interactions by two-thirds. They have shown that large arrays of these nano-magnets can be used to store computable information. The arrays can then be read by measuring their electrical resistance.

The scientists have so far been able to 'read' and 'write' patterns in the magnetic fields, and a key challenge now is to develop a way to utilise these patterns to perform calculations, and to do so at room temperature. At the moment, they are working with the magnets at temperatures below minus 223?C.

Research author Dr Will Branford and his team have been investigating how to manipulate the magnetic state of nano-structured spin ices using a magnetic field and how to read their state by measuring their electrical resistance. They found that at low temperatures (below minus 223^oC) the magnetic bits act in a collective manner and arrange themselves into patterns. This changes their resistance to an electrical current so that if one is passed through the material, this produces a characteristic measurement that the scientists can identify.

The scientists have so far been able to 'read' and 'write' patterns at room temperature. However, at the moment the collective behaviour is only seen at temperatures below minus 223oC. A key challenge now is to develop a way to utilise these patterns to perform calculations, and to do so at room temperature.

Current technology uses one magnetic domain to store a single bit of information. The new finding suggests that a cluster of many domains could be used to solve a complex computational problem in a single calculation. Computation of this type is known as a neural network, and is more similar to how our brains work than to the way in which traditional computers process information.

Dr Branford, who is an EPSRC Career Acceleration Fellow in the Department of Physics at Imperial College London, said: "Electronics manufacturers are trying all the time to squeeze more data into the same devices, or the same data into a tinier space for handheld devices like smart phones and mobile computers. However, the innate interaction between magnets has so far limited what they can do. In some new types of memory, manufacturers try to avoid the limitations of magnetism by avoiding using magnets altogether, using things like ferroelectric (flash) memory, memristors or antiferromagnets instead. However, these solutions are slow, expensive or hard to read out. Our philosophy is to harness the magnetic interactions, making them work in our favour."

Although this new research represents a key step forward, the researchers say there are many hurdles to overcome before scientists will be able to create prototype devices based on this technique such as developing an algorithm to control the computation. The nature of this algorithm will determine whether the room temperature state can be used or if the low temperature collective behaviour is required. However, they are optimistic that if these challenges can be tackled successfully, new technology using magnetic honeycombs might be available in ten to fifteen years.

In experiments, Dr Branford applied an electrical current across a continuous honeycomb mesh, made from cobalt magnetic bars each 1 micrometer long and 100 nanometres wide, and covering an area 100 square micrometers (as pictured). A single unit of the honeycomb mesh is like three bar magnets meeting in the centre of a triangle. There is no way to arrange them without having either two north poles or two south poles touching and repelling each other, this is called a 'frustrated' magnetic system. In a single triangular unit there are six ways to arrange the magnets such that they have exactly the same level of frustration, and as you increase the number of triangular units in the honeycomb, the number of possible arrangements of magnets increases exponentially, increasing the complexity of possible patterns.

Previous studies have shown that external magnetic fields can cause the magnetic domain of each bar to change state. This in turn affects the interaction between that bar and its two neighbouring bars in the honeycomb, and it is this pattern of magnetic states that Dr Branford says could be computer data.

Dr Branford said: "The strong interaction between neighbouring magnets allows us to subtly affect how the patterns form across the honeycomb. This is something we can take advantage of to compute complex problems because many different outcomes are possible, and we can differentiate between them electronically. Our next big challenge is to make an array of nano-magnets that can be 'programmed' without using external magnetic fields."

The phrase ?Forex? specifically stems fx rogue review from the start of two phrases ? ?foreign? and ?exchange?. Contrary to other investing solutions including the stock marketplace, Forex trading isn?t going to include the buying and selling of any products, bodily or representative. As an alternative, Fx operates by shopping for, marketing, and buying and selling in between the currencies of assorted economies from throughout the world. As the Currency trading current market is really a world-wide investing process, trades are created twenty-four hours a day, 5 times per week. Additionally, Forex trading isn?t bound by any just one regulate company, which implies that Forex trading would be the only correct absolutely free marketplace financial buying and selling method accessible at this time. By leaving the exchange prices outside of any just one group?s fingers, it is actually considerably extra tricky to even try and manipulate or corner the currency market place. With each of the strengths connected while using Forex trading program, as well as international array of participation, the Currency trading marketplace would be the greatest market place inside the complete planet.

Anyplace amongst one trillion and one.five trillion equivalent America bucks are traded about the Forex trading promote every and each day.

So somewhat than guidebook you via a structured website with much more information as a result of several sections; they typically utilize this pitch webpage plus they normally pack it with info as well as a ton of tricky offering. It has verified to get the craze and it is gotten more challenging and tougher for many EAs to market place their application with out these kind of pitch pages. It?s normally the situation with electronic solutions and or/stuff you are able to buy on the internet. In relation to these make-money-online and Forex trading web-sites they generally have a very large amount of flash to them and naturally lots of factors to draw buyers in. In fact it really is not a great deal diverse from almost every other sort of promoting, most surely not the likes of other financial systems, and so forth. They really need to have some kind of charm and be aggressive. My summary is the fact that whether or not it appears like it may be a rip-off, do your research anyhow and it could not be. It just is dependent. Some points are indications, but in my view website layout and really hard promoting aren?t immediate indications of the fraud.

However during the Fx Current market some thing to hope for might be charts and evidence.

Most currency trading alternatives investing is done through phone as you can find only a couple of forex trading brokers delivering on line fx solution buying and selling platforms.

Foreign exchange Solution Defined ? A forex trading selection is often a economic currency agreement supplying the currency trading alternative purchaser the ideal, although not the obligation, to invest in or provide a certain forex trading spot agreement (the fundamental) in a unique selling price (the strike selling price) on or in advance of a certain date (the expiration date). The total the currency trading possibility customer pays towards the forex trading solution seller for your forex trading selection agreement legal rights is named the fx selection ?premium.?

The Currency trading Choice Purchaser ? The customer, or holder, of the foreign currency alternative has the selection to possibly market the foreign currency selection agreement just before expiration, or she or he can opt to maintain the foreign currency alternatives agreement right until expiration and work out his / her appropriate to choose a placement while in the fundamental spot foreign currency. The act of doing exercises the foreign currency alternative and using the subsequent fundamental situation during the foreign currency spot marketplace is called ?assignment? or remaining ?assigned? a spot place.

As I claimed previously mentioned, the foreign exchange buying and selling is regarded as on the list of most worthwhile and alluring options for expense as any man or woman can readily do in your own home or workplace and from any section of the planet.

For succeeding the Currency trading, someone just isn?t demanded to complete any on the internet marketing, promotion etcetera. The one need within the Foreign currency trading would be the account that somebody is needed to open up with reputable and registered brokers, a pc procedure and speedy world-wide-web relationship.

Now, you might have for being watchful when opening a Foreign exchange account with any broker mainly because some can be Rip-off. The Commodity Futures Buying and selling Commission (CFTC) in US has jurisdiction above all Futures and Foreign exchange action. When investing inside the foreign exchange markets, consumers ought to only trade by using a CFTC registered entity that may be also a member with the Countrywide Futures Association (NFA) and is particularly controlled with the CFTC. For non-US broker/ financial institution entities, make sure which the broker or financial institution is registered with that country?s proper regulatory bodies.

The simple most noticeable remedy is obviously ? on the net! On the internet currency trading presents you immediate accessibility for the fx marketplace and there is a lot and numerous businesses in existence who?re in organization only to offer with you on line. Be vigilant, do devote time to have some great foreign currency trading education and learning, all over again this may be supplied on the internet and build your dummy account to trade just before you try to go dwell. In the event you choose treatment and consider your time, there is certainly no explanation why you should not become successful in currency trading so, have persistence and adhere at it!

What's the Best Way to Treat Anxiety? | New Health and Fitness

New Health And Fitness.Org - Health Information You Can Use

Recently there is a popular pattern to use drug anxiety therapies. Though in western countries cognitive-behavioral remedy is prevalent in the healing approach to health difficulties such as melancholy and anxiety, in certain areas of this world; health care remains to be flawed. A great deal of psychiatrists prescribes medication for anxiety situations that could be resolved through non-drug therapies. What can be the main reason?

Initial of all, the marketing policy of pharmaceutical firms became much more intense recently. They right now target GPs and MDs since they are the link between the pharmaceutical drug industry and the consumer. Even with the large number of medications, humanity seems to get increasingly more affected by chronic health difficulties. Mental illness rates are higher than in the past: depression, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder and a lot more.

Though it hurts to say and confess, it really is nonetheless true the complexity of variables that cause mental wellbeing difficulties is so high that a few physicians truly feel confused by it. They turn to drug anxiety treatments mainly because the pills appears like an easy and fast fix to the individual?s problem. The cognitive-behavioral restorative method takes time, hard work, every day training and monetary endeavors. To tell the facts, there are numerous anxiety victims around who can?t afford to pay for non-drug anxiety therapy.

This is an unfortunate reality of our times, regardless if we are talking concerning the western world or regarding a world-wide phenomenon. The economic downturn has thrown a lot of family members in to chaos, and anxiety looks to be larger than ever, and for really good reason. The access to prolonged term anxiety treatments which do not involve drug remedy has as a result become a luxury in a few instances, since sufferers simply lack the means to head over to remedy.

CRAZY: Miami Beach Luxury Waterfront Real Estate Sales Surge ...

This post is?definitely?the hardest of the year to write, if done right. Usually I get this Miami Beach real estate retrospective out on New Year?s Day, but I wasn?t feeling so comfortable with that this year. Why, you ask? Well, I saw something in the number of sales NOT reported in the MLS that was higher than normal, so I decided to dig further. What I found is pretty interesting. I?m glad I waited. This year, I also created graphs to make it easier to compare one Miami Beach waterfront neighborhood to another.

2011 Miami Beach Luxury Waterfront Homes Stats

Since I primarily focus on luxury waterfront sales, these statistics represent all Miami Beach waterfront home sales up to 63rd Street, including Indian Creek Island, La Gorce and Allison Islands, North Bay Road, Sunset Islands I- IV, the Venetian Islands (Belle Island, Rivo Alto Island, Di Lido Island, San Marino Island and San Marco Island). Also included are all the Mid-beach waterfront areas in Miami Beach (Pine Tree Drive, Flamingo Drive, North Meridian Avenue, Prairie and Chase Avenues, and Lakeview Drive and Lakeview Court).

Fun with Numbers

In 2011, there were a whopping 75 waterfront home sales in Miami Beach ? up from 53 residential real estate sales in 2010. That?s?a 41% increase in sales. There were three killer sales at or above $20M last year. One was 13 Star Island Drive in April for $25.5M. Another was?1736 W. 28th Street (Sunset Island I) for $19.8M, and 4580 North Bay Road closed for $20M. There were some huge condo sales in 2011, too, but I?ll save that for my next post.

Total Miami Beach Luxury Waterfront Home Sales 2008-2011

I always go with my gut. The only advice I EVER give my clients is, ?Go with your gut.??I am such a bad?salesperson (joke).?My gut told me that the Miami Beach real estate market bottomed?out in 2009. Here are the stats to prove it:

YEAR	SALES VOLUME	# OF SALES	$PSF
2008	$245,777,500	49	$934
2009	$169,331,447	42	$702

2011 Miami Beach Luxury Waterfront Home Sales

You?re Probably Sayin?, ?Kevin ? Break it Down for Me.?

Ok. The average $PSF for 2011 was $769, up from $710 in 2010. The biggest Miami Beach real estate sale was about $16M in 2009 and 2010. To reiterate, we had three sales at or above $20M in 2011.

Venetian Islands

The?Venetian Islands kicked butt and took names last year, racking up 25 sales ? compared to 13 sales in 2010. The average $PSF for the Venetian Islands in 2011 was $729, up from $617 in 2010, which is an increase of about 15%.

There?s an amazing new listing on Di Lido Island at 34 W. Dilido Drive for $11.9M. This is for the buyer who wants the very best of the best, including expansive downtown Miami views from every room of this Venetian Island masterpiece.

North Bay Road

North Bay Road has always been a preferred choice for Miami Beach luxury living because of its unobstructed wide-bay views, especially on middle and upper North Bay Road. Many celebs and CEOs who initially gravitated to gated islands for privacy and security opt for North Bay Road now because of the breathtaking views. There were 11 Miami Beach real estate sales on this street last year ? the same number of sales as in 2010. The average $PSF for North Bay Road in 2011 was $836, which is down from 2010?s $862. There was one big sale at 4580 North Bay Road for $20M, which included a 23,871 SF parcel of land at the neighboring 4570 address.

Palm and Hibiscus Islands

There were 11 real estate sales on Palm and Hibiscus Islands in 2011 and 11 sales in 2010. Not much stands out, except for 94 Palm Avenue, which sold for $14.2M last July.

Sunset Islands

In 2010, there were only two sales on all four islands. There was much more activity in 2011, with eight waterfront sales, including one of the largest Miami Beach real estate transactions of the year ? $19.8M. The average $PSF for 2011 was $870. The only other point of interest about the Sunset Islands?last year was that, upon Elizabeth Taylor?s death, it was announced that she had some sort of relationship with the man who once owned the home at 2555 Lake Avenue on Sunset Island II. The house was reported to be for sale at $13.9M, but was never officially on the market. It did, however, rent for $50k/month. Meh.

Flamingo and Pine Tree Drives

These streets run?parallel to the Indian Creek Waterway on the east side of the island, which overlooks Collins Avenue. In the early days, the most important homes were built between the 40th and 50th blocks of Pine Tree Drive. Before the large hotels went up, these estates enjoyed oceanfront views and breezes. ?There is a stellar deal at 5869 Pine Tree Drive which was just reduced. ?Old-world mansion. ?Good buy.

Star Island

There was one sale on Star Island?in 2010. Last year, there were four sales, including the largest residential purchase in Miami-Dade County for $25.5M. Roustam Tariko, owner of Russian Standard Bank and Russian Standard Vodka (of course), purchased the property in?April. In 2009, Naomi Campbell?s man, Vladislav Doronin, a Russian real estate developer,?bought Shaq?s house for $16M at 26 Star Island Drive.?This was Miami-Dade?s?biggest sale that year.

Mid Miami Beach

This neighborhood consists of North Meridian Avenue, Prairie Avenue, Chase Avenue, Lakeview Drive and Lakeview Court. There were four sales in Mid Miami Beach in 2011. The average $PSF was $295.

La Gorce Island

La Gorce Island is one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Miami Beach. It is known for its impeccable landscaping and security, not to mention its VERY expensive real estate. Many celebs?live or have lived there, including Billy Joel and Cher?(she?s lived everywhere).?La Gorce Island is located at the northern end of North Bay Road and has approximately 95 homes, 33 of which are waterfront properties.

In June 2010, 88 La Gorce Circle sold for $16M to a German businessman and was the highest sale in Miami-Dade County for that year.

There were?two waterfront real estate transactions in 2011:?68 La Gorce Circle, which sold for $6.5M, and 94 La Gorce Circle, which sold to rapper Lil Wayne for $11.6M. Average $PSF: $909.

Allison Island

There was one sale on Allison Island in 2011. 6475 Allison Road sold for $2.45M, with a $PSF of $491.

Indian Creek Island

Considered one of the most secure and exclusive places to live, and?claiming to be ?America?s most exclusive community,? Indian Creek Village?has its own police force. It also has the only 24/7 armed boat patrol around the island and is often the only waterborne police force available on Biscayne Bay. Many CEOs, industry titans, philanthropists and a supermodel or two call Indian Creek Island home. There was one sale on the island last year ? 18 Indian Creek Drive ? which went for $14M and $1,923 PSF.? One of the most expensive Miami-Dade County homes for sale, 3 Indian Creek Drive, is currently on the market for $60M.
