No more excuses
You see, there are no more excuses.
They said, "the blasts caused the riots": well, that's evident nonsense because the riots happened three months before the blasts.
Then they said, "the blasts could not have been a reaction to the riots because they happened three months later and that's too long for a reaction": well, consider this: had there been no riots, there would have been no blasts.
They said, "the riots were triggered by the burning of a family in Radhabai Chawl": well, that horrible atrocity happened on January 8 1993, in the middle of rioting that stretched from early December 1992 to February 1993. It could hardly have "triggered" rioting that started a whole month earlier.
Faced with that, they said, "no, no, we meant the second phase of the riots, that was triggered by the Radhabai Chawl murders": well, the second phase of the riots started in early January 1993, days before Radhabai. Newspapers of the time are clear: even when they first report the Radhabai killings, they refer to several days of violence. Terrible though it was, Radhabai Chawl is just one more entry in a grisly catalogue of blood and shame.
They said, "asking for the Srikrishna Commission report to be implemented will lead to more tension between Hindus and Muslims": well, even assuming some truth in that far-fetched hypothesis, should punishing murderers depend on some future possibility of tension? Some future threat of tension?
They said, "the blasts were an act of terrorism": well, oh yes indeed they were, and so was the slaughter of hundreds of Indians during the riots.
They said, "don't equate riots to terrorism": well, but what did those victims feel as they faced death? Was it not terror? What else were the riots but terrorism? And if you think not, would you care to explain why not? Without equivocation and to yourself first of all?
They said, "the blasts were an attack against the nation": well, true, but what else is the murder of hundreds of Indians, but an attack against the nation too?
They said, "the blasts were inspired and planned in Pakistan": well, sure, but is India's own homegrown terror less worthy of punishment?
They said many more things. But in the end and always, they would say, "yeah, yeah, but what about punishing the bomb blast criminals?"
Well, now even that fig-leaf has dropped off. Fourteen years after the blasts, sentences ranging from years in prison to death have been handed out. The bomb criminals have been punished as they deserved to be.
But the riots that happened three months before the blasts, that brought this city to its knees as surely as the blasts drove a dagger into our hearts, that killed nearly four times as many people as the blasts? For that massacre of hundreds of your fellow Indians, nobody has been punished. There isn't even an investigation going on that might result in a court case. Not one.
So as you go about your business today, whatever it is, stop a moment and ask yourself about this. Do it quietly. Do it face to face with your own conscience, so you don't have to explain or rationalize to anyone else. Ask yourself why it is apparently not in our Indian national interest to punish the killers of a thousand Indians in 1992-93.
If you believe, as I believe, that justice is something worth fighting for, do this much as a start: go sign this petition.
Justice. Not excuses.
"had there been no riots, there would have been no blasts."
wait a minute! i thought the newton's law could not be applied during riots, remember?
when modi invoked the newton's law to justify the post godhra riots, all of us were aghast in unison. why then are the blasts being justified in the name of riots??
on second thoughts, why am i surprised that actually the blasts ARE being justified as a reaction to the riots?
D: I signed it. I hope you get many more signatures. I haven't been in touch with whats happening on the riots/blast (more shame to me!) but I am incensed that one set of citizens gets justice and another, nothing.
n!
Have there been any convictions for the Bombay riots at all ?
Sudeep
>> well, the second phase of the riots started in early January 1993, days before Radhabai. Newspapers of the time are clear: even when they first report the Radhabai killings, they refer to several days of violence. Terrible though it was, Radhabai Chawl is just one more entry in a grisly catalogue of blood and shame.
AFAIK, there was a difference between the violence before and after the Radhabai Chawl incident, Mumbai was smoldering before that incident, afterwards, it was a full fledged conflagration.
>> They said, "the blasts were an act of terrorism": well, oh yes indeed they were, and so was the slaughter of hundreds of Indians during the riots.
Urban riots have been around for more than a hundred years in India, terrorism is a relatively new phenomenon. Why confuse the two ? While one act, by definition has large numbers of people involved, the other is a tightly controlled, tightly planned, secret low level warfare.
>> But the riots that happened three months before the blasts, that brought this city to its knees as surely as the blasts drove a dagger into our hearts, that killed nearly four times as many people as the blasts?

Agree about this. But I find it difficult to believe that there hasn't been a single conviction for the Bombay riots..
Bombay Addict said...
Sudeep - allow me to jump the gun here (Dilip - my apologies).
1. Interesting point. I could then posit - if Radhabai Chawl didn't happen, would the riots have stopped and hence the blasts not happened?
Or, would Radhabhai Chawl (8th Jan '93) have had any bearing on this incident referred to in para 2.22 of the Srikrishna report)(full report here) (emphasis mine)
2.22 [...] The Muslim houses were subjected to a selective unauthorized survey by the Hindus on 3rd January 1993. There was a vicious rumour floated around that there was an imminent attack by Muslims on Hindu houses and thereby Hindu communal passions were whipped up. On 9th, 10th and 11th January 1993 the Muslim houses in Pratiksha Nagar were systematically broken open, ransacked, some of the articles looted and some others deliberately set on fire.
2. Urban riots or act of terrorism? You tell me. Or tell me, where would this incident fit? (Srikrishna Report. Para 2.25)
2.25 Between 9th January 1993 to 12th January 1993 a large number of Muslims, numbering about 3,000–5,000, who had left their houses for fear of attack had congregated near Sunder Vihar Hotel. They were surrounded by 40,000–50,000 Hindus and had to spend almost three days under constant fear of attack till they were rescued from there with the help of army column on 12th January 1993. The intensity of communal hatred which had gripped even the ordinary citizens during the riot periods is demonstrated by this incident. Police were unable to help the Muslims because of overwhelmingly large mobs of Hindus which prevented the police from rescuing the Muslims. When an attempt was made to supply food to the marooned Muslims, the vehicles carrying the food were chased away. Finally, when the army column was transporting the marooned Muslim families, it was also attacked by the Hindu mobs which had to be dispersed by firing resorted to by army personnel.
3. Not a single conviction. Sure, loads of "serious lapses" in the implementation of the Srikrishna Report. But no convictions.
Boskoe said...
Sudeep!
Act of terrorism or urban riots - it doesnt make a difference. Both were crimes against humanity and deserve to be punished to the fullest extent.
DDD - signed the petition. I guess there is increasing pressure on the govt to implement the recommendations of the commission.
- Biju
@@boskoe
I agree, both are crimes against humanity, but the mechanics of how they happen are quite different, it follows then, that the investigative process in each proceeds in very different ways.
Theres also a difference in how these are perceived by the general public. There are very few acts of communal mob violence that escape retribution by an opposite act, yet, somehow people manage to keep their calm in case of terrorist acts.
I am not trying to say here that people should be punished differently for taking a human life, whether in a terrorism act or an act of mob violence. Merely that these are two different types of incidents, in general perception and their mechanics.

>> 1. Interesting point. I could then posit - if Radhabai Chawl didn't happen, would the riots have stopped and hence the blasts not happened?
Who is to say ?

Urban riots/mob violence.
>> 3. Not a single conviction. Sure, loads of "serious lapses" in the implementation of the Srikrishna Report. But no convictions.
leave alone the Sri Krishna report, you mean to say that there have'nt been *any* convictions in the Bombay riots case at all ? as in '0'.. Is this hearsay or real.. can someone confirm.
Jai_Choorakkot said...
After some dallying over the wordings of the first 2 paras, I had signed the petition back there at the discussion at "Innocent & done no harm".
The pertinent point (really puzzling to non-Mumbaikars) is the lack of any move on these cases, even with non SS/BJP govts in power. Ive been asking this question on this blog and at other places.
IndianMuslims.in unambiguously puts it on Thackeray and his threat to create more violence. Now I find it echoed on this blog. I havent really an appreciation of how powerful this guy is.
Elsewhere I have heard that at the lower level there was significant non-Sena/hindutva involvement in the riots and 'secular' parties would also stand to lose rank & file.
The "X did or did not trigger Y" discussion ongoing here is another reminder to me to get back to my no-linkages mode. Just prosecute and punish everybody flat.
@ Sudeep
>> Who is to say ?
So, we'll never know if Radhabai Chawl really was any tipping point, which kinda makes it irrelevant here.
>> Urban riots/mob violence
Interesting you added the second phrase. Anyways, we can go on and on on definitions of terrorism, riots, etc. if numbers and planning of an attack are the only things that matter.
>> can someone confirm
The truth is out there.
AFAIK, there was a difference between the violence before and after the Radhabai Chawl incident [etc]
I was in Bombay throughout those few months, on most days wandering about this city. It never struck me that there was any "difference" between the violence before and after Radhabai: it was all just gruesome and terrifying for weeks in a row.
If you don't want to call it terrorism, fine. As another comment here indicates, just pursue and punish the guilty as severely, that's all. Why is that so hard?
wise donkey said...
agree. signed.
but it really seems incredible that none have been punished.
Any idea where one can get the info on how many were punished for the Delhi riots and other riots in India.

>> I was in Bombay throughout those few months, on most days wandering about this city. It never struck me that there was any "difference" between the violence before and after Radhabai: it was all just gruesome and terrifying for weeks in a row.
I agree it would have been terrifying to someone present in the city at the time, but the sheer number of people killed in the period Jan 1 - Jan 7 in Bombay was different, almost an order of magnitude different, than the numbers after wards, after the Radhabai Chawl incident. There was violence before and after, but there was a difference in the scale, the number of victims etc.
>> If you don't want to call it terrorism, fine. As another comment here indicates, just pursue and punish the guilty as severely, that's all. Why is that so hard?
I am not advocating a clemency for those who participated in the riots, only drawing a distinction in the very different nature of the two crimes - mob violence/terrorist attacks.
1) mob violence => large groups of people participating in the violence, as many as 50,000.
2) Terrorist acts usually involve less than a few dozens of people.
3) At least in the Indian context, many terrorist acts involve foreign nationals, while mob violence is largely home grown.
4) Participants in terrorist acts are usually the dregs of our society, while mob violence participants involve people at many different levels of our society.
Its absurd of you to ask me why punishing mob violence participants is so hard. Its not me who is doing the punishing and the pursuing.
btw.. someone claimed that there wasnt even a single conviction for the riots, were there any cases filed/investigated atleast ? Even outside of what Sri Krishna said, the police did not get any convictions ? Where can I find this information ?
@@addict
>>>> Who is to say ?
>> So, we'll never know if Radhabai Chawl really was any tipping point, which kinda makes it irrelevant here.
What you asked me was whether it can be said that the 2nd phase of the riots triggered the blasts, I dont know, some role may be ? until we get the kingpins and give them the danda, we wont know.
Even so, the number of people dead before and after Radhabai chawl incident was different, and that was what I was trying to point out.
Why does the petition say "Punish the Guilty of the Anti Muslim Pogrom of 1992-1993"?
I think hindus too got killed. Cannot clap with one hand.
When some islamic org does some blasts in mumbai, u guys say it was an attack on mumbaikars (e.g. recent train blasts).
So why not use the term "mumbaikars" here as the title, why are you guys singling out one community when it was clear that there were 2 rioting parties. Human life was lost, and that should be the point.
I cannot understand the logic.
If you look at the past history of Kutubh Minar (27 hindu/jain temples), Taj Mahal, you will find destruction of hindu temples everywhere. Wasn't that wrong?
Why can't people look back in history and see what their ancestors have done. There is a price for every action.
Not that riots are any answers, but fixing the wrong, cannot be termed as wrong.
I shameful to use one community name when human life irrespective of religion was lost.
Everyone involved should be punished, irrespective of religion.
Make the petion more broarder termed and more people will sign it.
"Make the petion more broarder termed and more people will sign it."
good point. that is the thing: there is an agenda here.
riots were "anti-muslim"
blasts were aimed at "mumbaikars".
Goebbels must be smiling in his grave. Someone learnt from him :)
Dear anonymous: The title of the petition says 'Justice for all". The line you are talking about I think is perfectly valid in this specific context because the petition refers to punishing the guilty of the Anti-Muslim Pogrom. I have no doubt that a similar petition to bring, say, the killers of the Sikhs in the 1984 riots would be entitled: Punish the guilty for the Anti-Sikh pogrom of 1984. I do not think there is any bias involved here.
Hello various anonymice,
I did have reservations myself, with the title and some of the initial wording (maybe some warped reading of these will set up Radhabai chawl as a defensive or revenge encounter), but after some internal debate decided that the cause of justice is worth a LOT more than such quibbles.
The other concern I had, that 'revenge theory' will serve as a mitigating factor and lead to lighter sentences has been squarely addressed with these verdicts.
I request you to sign the petition- preferably not anonymously.
If the "anti-muslim pogrom" part upsets you so much, why dont you create a parallel one without those words and sign that instead.
R u saying, no hindus died, no anti-hindu sentiments existed??? What are you smoking?
It all depends on perspective. You can see 99% hindu blast victims as mumbaikars or you can see them as hindus. But hey, we only call them hindus when they riot else they are mumbaikars.
(just as a note, the population of minorities has only increased in India while its complete opposite case in our neighboring countries. That says a lot about rioting, blood thirsty bad hindus, does it?).
I am an atheist myself and think religion is bane and should be banned. I also have no love for the names mentioned in the petition.
All I want is everybody involved be punished and that includes people from both sides not one side only.
http://offstumped.nationalinterest.in/2007/08/06/leftist-political-correctness-with-taliban-like-fanaticism/
Thanks Anon:
Do you stay in Holland???
"The facts are the 1992-1993 riots saw about 600 muslims and 300 Hindu deaths. So how can Justice for the riots be made out to be about Minorities versus Majorities when both communities suffered just as both communities suffered in the blasts."
Considering the percentage of Hindus Vs Muslims in mumbai & and the percentages of death by religion, who killed more??
But still go ahead and say they were ONLY ANTI-MUSLIM.
You guys could have had much better support had you tried to punish all at fault, not just from one religious community.
CANNOT CLAP WITH ONE HAND.

James Aaron Butts (born May 9, 1950) is a retired American triple jumper. He won a silver medal at the 1976 Olympics and a bronze at the 1979 Pan American Games. He was inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 2014.

Butts won the 1976 U.S. Olympic Trials with a wind-aided 17.29 m, just short of the existing world record at the time.  He narrowly missed making the team in 1972 and again in 1980, finishing in fourth place each time (the last time by a mere 1 cm).

Butts won the 1972 NCAA Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championships while competing for the University of California at Los Angeles.  While training for the Olympics, he worked two jobs including as a janitor, to support his mother and sister. He had to train at 5 am as it was the only time that fit his schedule.

Shredding the basic fiber of the Constitution of Indian Socialistic State, after implementation of 6th CPC this ratio stand raised to 1: 12.85. Both for salaried employees & Pensioners. Which is much more, than even the capitalist countries like America & Britain.
This negative and socially regressive effects of the 6th Central Pay Commission has had the effect of worsening wealth and income inequality not only between pre-and post-2006 retirees, but even within pre-2006 retirees where in higher-ups from Scales S30.S31& above got full parity in Pension.
Raising, instead of reducing the ratio between minimum & maximum of salary is unconstitutional .
We demand: That Preamble to the Constitution, Articles 366(17),14 & 21read in the light of Honorable Supreme Court judgments, in the cases of D.S. NAKARA & OTHERS Vs UNION OF INDIA DATED 17/12/1982 1983 AIR 130,1983 SCR (2) 16, 1983 SCC (1) 305 1982 SCALE (2)1213, and, in the case of Consumer Education and Research Centre & Others Vs union of India(AIR 1995 supreme court 922) to be implemented in letter & spirit.
Accordingly the Ratio between minimum & maximum of Pay/Pension should progressively go on reducing ensuring complete equality.
Honorable Supreme Court, in its landmark 5-Judge Constitutional Bench judgment dated 17.12.1982 in the case D.S.Nakara vs UOI, ruled that "A pension scheme consistent with available resources must provide that the Pensioner would be able to live Free from want, with decency, independence and self respect, and at a standard equivalent at pre- retirement level". As laid down in Para 127.9 of 5th Central Pay Commission report Vol. III, the study done by the Consultants to 5th Central Pay Commission (TECS – Tata Economic Consultancy Services) recommended Pension to be 65% of the last emoluments drawn.
3. Grant 5% upward enhancement in pension be granted every five years' after the age of 60 years & upto 80 years & thereafter as per existing dispensation.
In the present scenario of climatic changes, incidence of pesticides and rising pollution old age disabilities/diseases set in by the time an employee retires and go on manifesting very fast, needing additional finances to take care of these disabilities and diseases, especially as the cost of health care has gone very high compared to 01.01.2006.
We therefore, demand, that 5% upward enhancement in pension be granted every five years' after the age of 60 years & upto 80 years & thereafter as per existing dispensation.
The purchase value of pension gets reduced day by day due to continuously high inflation and steep rise in cost of food items and medical facilities. Retired persons/Senior citizens do not enjoy fully public goods and services provided by Government for citizens due to lack of mobility and many other factors. Their ability to pay tax gets reduced from year to year after retirement due to ever-increasing expenditure on food and medicines and other incidentals. Their net worth at year end gets reduced considerably as compared to the beginning of the year. Inflation, for a pensioner is much more than any tax. It erodes the major part of the already inadequate pension. To enable pensioners, at the far end of their lives, to live in minimum comfort and to cater for ever rising cost of living, they may be spared from paying Income Tax.
The Pension of Central Government Pensioners undergo revision only once in 10 years during which period the pension structure gets seriously dis-aligned; 50% increase in price takes place even in less than 5 years. This results in considerable erosion of the financial position of the pensioner with otherwise inadequate Pension. As admitted by Shri Montek Singh Ahluwalia, Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission, in his statement to PTI on 27.2.2008, DA does not adequately take care of inflation. Working employees are getting automatic relief by way of 25% increase in their allowances with every 50% rise in Dearness Allowance. As pensioners do not get any allowances, they feel discriminated against. In order to strike a balance, DR may be merged with Pension whenever it goes beyond 50% as recommended by 5th Central Pay Commission.
Commutation value in respect of employee superannuating at the age of 60 years between 1.1.1996 and 31.12.2005 and commuting a portion of pension within a period of one year would be equal to 9.81 years Purchase. After adding thereto a further period of two years for recovery of interest, in terms of observation of Supreme Court in their judgment in writ petitions No 395-61 of 1983 decided in December 1986, it would be reasonable to restore commuted portion of pension in 12 years instead of present 15 years. In case of persons superannuating at the age of 60 years after 31.12.2005 and seeking commutation within a year, numbers of purchase years have been further reduced to 8.194. Also, the mortality rate of 60 plus Indians has considerably reduced ever since Supreme Court judgment in 1986; the life expectancy stands at 69 years now.
We demand restoration of commuted value of pension in a period of 12 years.
7. The 6th Central Pay Commission's new benefits, e.g. full pension for 20 years of service/10 years in superannuation cases, last pay drawn or average of last 10 months' pay whichever is beneficial to the retiring employee as emoluments for computation of pension etc., have been limited only to post-1.1.2006 retirees. This is in violation of the letter and spirit of Hon'ble Apex Court judgment in Nakara Case.
To ensure hassle free health care facility to Pensioners/family pensioners, Smart Cards be issued irrespective of departments to all Pensioners and their Dependents for cashless medical facilities across the country. These smart cards should be valid in all Govt. hospitals all NABH accredited Multi Super Specialty hospitals across the country which have been allotted land at concessional rate or given any aid or concession by the Central or the State govt. all CGHS, RELHS & ECHS empanelled hospitals across the country.
Medical attendants. Reimbursement bill for treatment both for hospitalization & No referral should be insisted in case of medical emergencies. For the purpose of reference for hospitalization & reimbursement of expenditure thereon in other than emergency cases Doctors/Medical officers working in different Central/State Govt. department dispensaries/health units should be recognized as Authorized OPD can be made by respective departments.
We demand that, all the pensioners, irrespective of pre-retiral class and status, be treated as same category of citizens and the same homogenous group. There should be no class or category based discrimination and must be provided Health care services at par with IAS and ex-Ministers.
To ensure that the hospitals do not avoid providing reasonable care to smart card holders and other poor citizens, a Hospital Regulatory Authority should be created to bring all NABH-accredited hospitals and NABL-accredited diagnostic Labs under its constant monitoring of quality, rates for different procedures & timely bill payments by Govt. agencies and Insurance companies. CGHS rates be revised keeping in mind the workability and market conditions.
We demand that a Hospital Regulatory Authority be constituted.
As is recorded in Para 5 of the minutes of Committee of Secretaries (COS) held on 15.04.2010 (Reference Cabinet Secretariat, Rashtrapati Bhavan No 502/2/3/2010-C.A.V Doc No. CD (C.A.V) 42/2010 Minutes of COS meeting dated 15.4.2010) which discussed enhancement of FMA: CGHS card estimates for serving Personnel since estimates are not available separately for pensioners M/O Health & Family Welfare had assessed the total cost per card p.a. in 2007-2008 = Rs 16435 i.e. Rs.1369 per month for OPD. Adding to its inflation the figure today is well over Rs 2000/- PM. Ministry of Labour & Employment, Govt. of India vide its letter no. G-25012/2/2011-SSI dated 07.06.2013 has already enhanced FMA to Rs 2000/- PM for EPFO beneficiaries. Thus, to help elderly pensioners to look after their health, Adequate raise in FMA will encourage a good number of pensioners to opt out of OPD facility which will reduce overcrowding in hospitals. OPD through Insurance will cost much more to the Govt. As such the proposal for raising Fixed Medical allowance to Pensioners is fully justified and is financially viable.
We demand that FMA for all C.G. Pensioners be raised to at least Rs 2000/- PM without any distance restriction linking it to Dearness Relief for automatic further increase. We further demand that FMA be exempted from INCOME TAX: Fixed Medical Allowance (FMA) is a compensatory allowance to reimburse the medical expenses. As Medical Reimbursement is not taxable, FMA should also be exempted from Income Tax.
Pensioners/Family Pensioners are exploited, harassed and humiliated by their own counterparts in chair, who at the sight of an old person adopt a wooden face and indifferent attitude. Pensioners do not have representation even in Forums & Committees wherein pension policies and connected matters are discussed. The forum of Pension Adalat too is not of much avail as it meets only once a year which is too long a period for an elderly nearer to his end. Moreover, these Adalats deal with settlement claims only. SCOVA too meets only twice a year for about 3 hours at occasion. Moreover, the scope of SCOVA is limited to feedback on Government policies. DOP (P&PW) is perceived as a toothless authority which lacks direct Service Delivery Capability. It has been striving over the years to redress the Pensioners' grievances through the 'Sevottam' model of the Department of Administrative Reforms & Public grievances; in the absence of strict timeline with punitive clause it is, however, proving to be a failure. Grievances are either not resolved for years or closed arbitrarily without resolving.

I just pre-ordered my first LOTR Legendary Scale Bust - The Balrog.
I am thinking about getting the Morgul Lord too instead of getting the United Cutlery Warmask helm.
Does anyone have the Morgul Lord Legendary Scale Bust?
Twilight Ring Wraith bust for Black and White Friday (Dave has the King of the Dead pictured by mistake).
Sweet piece! I just about gave up collecting any new LOTR collectibles since I'm essentially a Witchking/Morgul Lord/Ringwraith focused guy. Now within less than a week we've had the Twilight Witch-King Animaquette, new Ringwraith on Steed (variant) Animaquette AFX exclusive, and now this beaut!

Long string of evidence leads to arrest in Jacksonville woman's 2015 death
Dan Scanlan
When the body of 45-year-old Sabrina Michelle Blackshear was found May 19, 2015, in the 2500 block of Silver Street, all police had to go on was the bullet that killed her, a condom and a .40-caliber shell casing, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
But a string of evidence from another county's homicide, a DNA test and records of where a cellphone was when Blackshear died led to an arrest Thursday morning.
Troy Allen Butler, 29, of the 5700 block of Lenox Avenue was charged with murder and possession of a firearm by a felon, Lt. Steve Gallaher said.
Yes, it is "frustrating" to the victim's family and detectives that it took a little more than two years to get the results of tests on DNA, and shell casings and other evidence, Gallaher said. But an arrest was made.
"Obviously you want to solve these cases as fast as you can, but you need to make sure you have all the evidence and all the facts so we have the best case possible," Gallaher said. " … Each process has to be completed, the labs are not in-house and we are depending on other agencies to conduct those. And the way that the information comes in, we might not be able to link things together until the very end."
The evidence was found near her, but Gallaher said leads dried up until Aug. 18, 2015, when another killing was reported in St. Augustine. The suspect's car in that case was the same 2004 Toyota reported stolen that day by Butler. He didn't say his handgun was in the car when it was stolen. Only when the State Attorney's Office granted him limited immunity Sept. 1, 2015, did he admit the gun was his, Gallaher said.
Two months after that interview, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement reported DNA matched Blackshear and Butler. In a February 2016 interview with Jacksonville investigators, Butler admitted paying Blackshear $20 for sex after he was confronted with the DNA test, Gallaher said. But he denied killing her.
"With really no other evidence at that time, Butler was free to leave," the lieutenant said.
The evidence expanded Aug. 26 last year when a national ballistics database confirmed the shell casing found on Silver Street was fired from the same gun that killed the St. Augustine homicide victim. Then, six months ago, new test results confirmed more DNA matched. A July court order finally allowed police to look at records of a cellphone owned by Butler's wife, but used by him on May 19, 2015, Gallaher said.
"Cellphone records confirmed and put Troy Butler at the scene of the murder on the night that it occurred," he said.
Gallaher said there is no indication Butler is linked to other homicides.
Butler was convicted in 2007 for possession of a concealed firearm and sentenced to eight years in state prison, according to the Department of Corrections.

Montevideo:DefensorBella VistaCentralWanderersNacionalPeñarolRacing ClubRampla JuniorsRiver PlateSud América

La  du championnat d'Uruguay de football est remportée par le Club Nacional de Football. C'est le premier titre de champion du club dans l'ère professionnelle. Peñarol l'emporte avec le même nombre de points que Peñarol. Rampla Juniors complète le podium.

Ce championnat reste dans l'histoire du football uruguayen comme la « plus longue compétition de football de l'histoire ». En effet, la compétition qui devait se dérouler du printemps à l'automne 1933, ne s'est en fait terminée que le .

La compétition consiste en un tournoi où chaque équipe rencontre trois fois tous ses adversaires pour déterminer le champion. Nacional et Peñarol terminent le championnat ex-æquo à la première place avec le même nombre de points. Comme la différence de buts n'est pas prise en compte, les deux clubs doivent disputer un match de barrage pour les départager. Il faut alors trois matchs pour qu'une des deux équipes l'emporte. Le , le Nacional l'emporte enfin sur le score de trois buts à deux et gagne ainsi son premier titre de champion de l'ère professionnelle, le douzième de son histoire.

Aucun système de promotion/relégation n'existe. Tous les clubs engagés lors de la saison se trouvent qualifiés pour la saison suivante, hors bien sûr dissolution du club ou problèmes financiers.

Comme pour la première saison, tous les clubs participant au championnat sont basés dans l'agglomération de Montevideo.

Matchs de barrage
Le premier match de barrage se termine au bout de 70 minutes. À cet instant-là, un tir raté sort du terrain, heurte un des soigneurs du Nacional avant de revenir sur le terrain. Un des joueurs du Peñarol, Peregrino Anselmo, récupère le ballon, le transmet à Castro qui marque le but. Au cours de l'échauffourée qui s'ensuit, trois joueurs du Nacional sont exclus par l'arbitre, lui-même agressé et obligé de rejoindre l'infirmerie du stade. L'arbitre remplaçant, Scandroglio, interrompt alors le match au motif du manque de lumière. Le , la fédération uruguayenne décide d'annuler le but et de faire terminer le match.

Le , le match reprend pour 20 minutes. Il a lieu à huis clos. Au terme du temps règlementaire, deux prolongations de 30 minutes sont disputées sans qu'aucune des deux équipes n'arrive à marquer.

Future 50: Li Hu
Written by New
Icon asked a dozen experts and practitioners to nominate the people they think are, in some way, shaping the future. The resulting list of global talent is a snapshot that shows how young designers and architects are pushing the boundaries of their disciplines and trying to change the world
Li Hu established OPEN Architecture in 2002 as a platform for experimentation and to initiate a critical discourse about the future of our cities. Hu founded and led the Beijing office for Steven Holl Architects until 2010, before leaving to focus on his own projects. In 2009 he helped establish Studio-X Beijing, as part of Columbia University's international programme – it is a space that encourages collaboration and experimental thinking about the future of cities. At the moment, OPEN Architecture has four projects under construction. These include a middle school campus and an experimental pavilion in Beijing, an ocean research centre in Shenzhen and a low-cost housing complex in Fuzhou. "For me the challenge is also the opportunity," Hu says. "To seek simplicity in the ever increasing complexity of our life and living environment, and to see balance in the conflicting cultural and ideological conditions."

Balfour Beatty's Far East joint venture awarded two contracts worth a total value of HK$7.7 billion (c. £705m)
Balfour Beatty, the international infrastructure group, today announces its 50:50 Far East joint venture, Gammon Construction, has been awarded two contracts worth a total value of HK$7.7 billion (c. £705m).
The first award is for a HK$6.2billion (c. £568m) contract for the Highways Department of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to construct the Kai Tak West Section of the Central Kowloon Route in Hong Kong.
The Kai Tak West Section contract forms a vital part of the 4.7km-long dual three-lane Central Kowloon Route. The works mainly comprise the construction of a 370m long underwater tunnel and the associated temporary reclamation in Kowloon Bay of about three hectares, a 160m long cut and cover tunnel in Ma Tau Kok as well as a 125m long road and a 170m long underpass in Kai Tak Development.
The contract is due to start early this year and with completion scheduled in 2025. A workforce of 400 will be employed at construction peak.
The second award is for a HK$1.5billion (c.£137m) contract for the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority (WKCDA) in Hong Kong to deliver the extended basement and public infrastructure works called the 'L1 Contract for the Lyric Theatre Complex and Extended Basement at WKCD'.
This contract involves excavation followed by the construction of a two-level reinforced concrete structure, public infrastructure works including drainage and a traffic lay-by with associated temporary works. Gammon is already delivering the foundation works for this project, for which it has twice received the WKCDA highest commendation for safety performance. Work is due to commence in early 2018 and is expected to be substantially complete by mid-2020. A workforce of 450 will be engaged at construction peak.
Thomas Ho, Chief Executive Gammon said, "These two awards demonstrate Gammon's ability to build on existing relationships with key clients and the variety of work we are able to undertake in the Far East, delivered to the highest safety standards."

Few consumers can afford the ready-to-wear looks sent down the runway each season or worn by celebrities on any of the various major red carpets, and as grateful as many of these consumers may be when those designs eventually filter down to high-street stores, they generally only arrive there via the kind of copying and subtle knock-offs that would be considered unacceptable in many other creative industries. So, why is copying not just institutionalized, but also considered acceptable in the fashion sector?
Many cite the fast-moving nature of the fashion retail sector as a reason for not dedicating more resources or attention to the protection of fashion, clothing and accessory designs. In a fast-paced consumer sector like fashion, popular styles sell out almost as quickly as they hit the shop floor and retailers need to ensure a rapid turnover of new, and often low-priced, stock if they are to keep their shoppers' attention.
In this environment, the time taken to establish legal protections and bring legal infringement actions can appear overly long and the cost too prohibitive; particularly as, in many cases, the design in question will no longer be in use by the time the action is ready to be pursued.
This has added to the sense of listlessness that has existed traditionally around stomping down on much of the piracy we see within the sector. However, this is changing. The growing availability of counterfeit goods, the advances in digital technology that have improved the ease and speed in which goods can be copied and produced, and the relocation of manufacturing sites to the Far East have all focused fashion brands' awareness on the importance of intellectual property ("IP").
Recurring infringement cases against high-street chains from everyone from high fashion brands to recent fashion graduates, represent part of this shift change. The sector is increasingly recognizing the value of its IP and understanding that unauthorized copying not only constitutes infringement of those IP rights, but also has a major impact on their bottom line and reputation. The question is: what can they do about it?
The majority of infringement actions brought at in the EU at present are done so on the basis of a designer's copyright or unregistered design rights (Note: in the U.S., litigation is likely more centered on trademarks in the fashion industry given the limited copyright protection for garments and accessories as whole). While these rights are valuable, they are not always the most effective routes for action; particularly as they can be difficult to prove and, therefore, enforce. In comparison, a registered design right is a more certain and arguable right, giving its owner a clear legal redress in the case of infringement. Given that the cost of a design registration is relatively low, it's worth protecting key innovations regularly, even if they have a limited lifespan.
It is important to remember too that not all fashion designs will have such a short existence. After all, the little black dress, the mini skirt, the 'skort' (skirt-short) were all novel creations when they first hit the catwalk.
Similarly, many of the best-known fashion brands have built their reputations on iconic styles and motifs that have retained consumer interest as the brand has grown and evolved: Louboutin's red sole, the Burberry check, Levi 501s, Ray-Ban's Aviator sunglasses, Doc Martin boots, Havaianas and, more recently, the distinctive sole of the Ugg boot.
Any new styles, like these, that are created as part of a company identity will obviously have a longer lifespan and should be protected and enforced proactively – whether it be via trademark, copyright, or patent law, or still, a combination thereof; although, it can often be difficult within the sector to identify a style that will endure beyond the current trends.
In the current economic environment, protection from unauthorized copying is becoming incredibly important in all sectors. Launching a new fashion design takes time, resources and creativity, so why would you let another company have a free ride on all that hard work?
Are you aware of the importance of IP to your business? Have you protected your IP? Do you know that you can use your IP rights to prevent others from stealing your ideas? The fashion industry is a fast moving industry with frequent changes and considerable opportunities for IP theft.

Ceviche is a raw fish salad, the fish being cured in lime juice. It's quick and easy to make, and absolutely delicious. Most countries in Central and South America have their own versions of ceviche, but this is the classic ceviche from Peru.
You can use any firm-fleshed white sea fish for this (cod, hake, pollock, coley, hammour, tilapia etc). But just a word of warning - the fish should have been deep-frozen for at least 24 hours before you use it, to kill the parasitic worm Anisakis which can make you very ill. I would avoid fresh fish and also freshwater fish for this recipe. Make sure the fish is completely free of bones, and peel off any skin. Slice the fish into strips about 6mm (quarter of an inch) wide.
Peel and finely slice the onion - a mandolin is perfect for this. Chop the chilli into fine slices, and finely chop the coriander. Mix them all together in a flat dish with the fish. Squeeze the lime juice and orange juice over the dish, and stir to make sure everything is coated.
After about 20 minutes, the fish will be opaque on the outside, slightly less so inside. This is a bit too close to raw for me, so I let mine 'cook' for 30 minutes. Eat the ceviche as soon as you can after this, as it will continue to 'cook' in the lime juice and will be quite unpleasant after an hour or more. Serve with quacamole and sweetcorn.

Where Are Puma Shoes Made?

PUMA doesn't state that they create their shoes at one specific factory location. Instead, the company published a factory list and detailed the top five countries that produce all of their product volume combined. Asia is at the top of this list at 89 percent.
Europe is second on the list at 5 percent, America is third with 4 percent, and Africa is last with 2 percent. The individual PUMA factories and locations are listed on the company's website. PUMA 's auditing process is their main line of defense for making sure that the factories are sticking to compliance policies.

Movie Beards: Ming the Merciless: "Flash Gordon"
Ming the Merciless: "Flash Gordon"
Close your eyes and think to yourself: "If the ruler of the universe had a beard, what would it look like?" A deep, bellowing voice will respond, "This beard will have four points and be attached to the chin of Max von Sydow." Go ahead. Try it. If it doesn't work, I'll buy you a CokeTM.
Max von Sydow sports his Villain Beard as Ming the Merciless, a super-villain who controls the fate of the universe based on the ignorance of life systems. With his Villain Beard and a ring he snatched from a box of Golden Crisp, Ming engages deathly disasters upon a planet of his choosing. If the life forms deem these disasters as natural, he spares their ignorant lives. However, if they recognize the Hand of Ming as the cause of these disasters, he destroys the planet in the name of the great god Dyzan. Ming sets his sites on Earth, grabbing the attention of bearded scientist and future Movie Bearder Hans Zarkov. Hans' curiousity leads him to the realization that this isn't a natural occurrence. By Ming standards, Earth must go. When Zarkov confronts Ming and asks "Why do you attack us?," Ming mercilessly replies, "Why not?"
So scientific curiosity leads to total annihilation while scientific ignorance is awarded? Neil DeGrasse Tyson would like to have a word with you, Ming. You're sending the wrong message.
Flash Gordon, based on a true story, is about an NFL quarterback that flies a rocket ship to a distant planet and exposes other space civilizations to the wonders of humanity. Only in 1980s Hollywood can humanity be expressed by the combination of a Playgirl centerfold and the music of Queen. Flash Gordon's beardless shenanigans could not defeat Ming single-handedly, so he enlists the help of two other bearded dudes -- Hans Zarkov (an earthling scientist) and Vultan (a Hawkman). He also travels to a planet that looks like a Donkey Kong Country level to gain alliance with James Bond.
Unfortunately, even the pure evil of Ming's Villain Beard cannot overcome the awesome combination of Hawkmen, Flash Gordon, and Queen. It's just too much for a single Villain Beard to handle, but at least Ming went out with style. How many movie villains can say they've been stabbed with a rocket ship? Ming can.
1. able to command others to thrust oneself onto one's sword to signify loyalty.
2. willing to appoint one as a ruler of a new world while freely admitting he will fornicate with one's girlfriend and populate said world with the resulting offspring.
3. able to bluntly tell future wife that he may grow bored of her, at which point he will simply blast her into space.
