VICTORIA'S worst toll evader yesterday admitted taking an extra 14 free trips on CityLink. Christos Katsimalis, 69, walked from court in February this year after avoiding more than $22,000 in fines for 223 trips on the toll road without an e-tag. He was convicted and handed a bill of almost $9000 for CityLink's court costs, but avoided further penalty after the magistrate heard his English was poor. Yesterday Mr Katsimalis pleaded guilty to a further 14 counts, overlooked during the earlier cases. He was again convicted without further penalty and ordered to pay $560 in costs.END City link relies on a Chaum style e-reader over the road.One with obvious brinworld possibilities.I told you I have an AP trial date set for sept 11.Anniversary of hugely succesfull anti-wef demo in Melb.2000.

"Plot to conspire against the State,"Police chief arrested.

http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,4852277%255E1… Police reject new chief August 06, 2002 WELLINGTON, New Zealand: The Vanuatu government held an emergency meeting after the police rejected the appointment of a new chief and officers arrested him and 14 other senior civil servants and civilians. Prime Minister Edward Natapei has condemned the arrests on Sunday of the 15 people on charges of seditious conspiracy as "unlawful and irresponsible." But he denied that the police action amounted to a revolt that threatened the government of this tiny 80-island nation in the Pacific Ocean. "No coup has taken place in Vanuatu. What happened was triggered by dissatisfaction by police officers over the appointment of the new commissioner of police," he said on Sunday. He said the government, which was re-elected for a second term in May, had the situation under control. Among those arrested was the newly appointed commissioner of police, Mael Apisai, a former police captain who had been made redundant in 1998. He was appointed last week by the Police Service Commission - a government-appointed body. Also arrested and charged with sedition were attorney-general Ham Bulu, several senior civil servants, three members of the police service commission, the private secretary to the country's head of state, Father John Bani, and a senior member of Natapei's staff. A spokesman for the 700-strong Vanuatu police officers' corps, Api Jack Marikembo, said they had not broken the law in making the arrests. He said police were simply enforcing the law based on solid evidence of a plot to conspire against the state. He did not elaborate. The 15 detainees were released on bail by a judge, who gave police until August 19 to complete their investigations. The arrested men were scheduled to reappear in court at that time. Martin Jones, publisher of the main newspaper, The Trading Post, said the Cabinet was meeting today to discuss the matter. "Business is normal, there is no danger on the streets," Jones said in a telephone interview. A mostly Melanesian nation of 200,000 formerly known as the New Hebrides, Vanuatu gained independence from Britain and France in 1980 after 74 years of joint colonial rule. A country of thinly populated, fertile volcanic islands, it lies near the equator. With an economy based mainly on tourism, Vanuatu also exports dried coconut along with small amounts of coffee, cocoa and other farm products.

http://www.consortiumnews.com/Print/080502a.html Rent a mob cross state lines for shrubs grand theft auto. "...In the Chicago Seven case, the jury acquitted all defendants of conspiracy charges, though finding five defendants David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin individually guilty of inciting a riot, charges that later were reversed on appeal. Separate government investigations also faulted the Chicago police for using excessive violence to quell the 1968 protests. Ironically, the kind of documentary evidence that might have proved valuable in tying up the loose ends of the Chicago Seven conspiracy is present in the new filings that the Bush recount committee made to the IRS. The evidence is clear that the Bush committee organized the movement of protesters across state lines, paid for their lodging, moved them into a position for the riot, and then defended their actions."

On the other hand, users already consent to similar conditions whenever they use the Windows Update facility - and few complain. The change needn't apply to corporate users. Microsoft recently introduced Software Update Services, which allows managed upgrades across the Intranet to users with Active Directory. (So you don't have thousands of desktops hitting Microsoft servers at once). We've asked Microsoft if this was a legal or a technical decision, and what was behind the decision to make installation of the service packs conditional on this clause. We await their reply.

Water Wars

Western U.S. For sixty years, ancestral lands of indigenous peoples have been used for testing nuclear weapons, experimenting with biological and chemical warfare agents, incinerating and burying hazardous wastes, and mining uranium. The Nevada (Nuclear) Test Site (NTS) is part of a continued illegal corporate and military occupation of the Western Shoshone Nation, Newe Sogobia. The Department of Energy has exploded plutonium, called a subcritical test, at NTS 17 times since 1997, leaving radioactive substances in the ground that filters into the largest aquifer in Southern Nevada. Yucca Mountain and Skull Valley are currently targeted as the only national nuclear waste dumps for nuclear power plants. Plans are in place to begin the shipment of over 77,000 tons of deadly spent nuclear fuel rods and weapons waste to Newe Sogobia. If the recently approved Yucca Mountain dump isn't stopped, nuclear waste will travel through 43 states, increasing risks of radiation exposure to millions. October marks the tenth anniversary of the U.S. moratorium on full-scale nuclear weapons tests. In honor of the anniversary and in resistance, the Shundahai Network is organizing the Action for Nuclear Abolition in Nevada. The campaign will kick off with the Family Spirit Walk for Mother Earth and conclude with ongoing nonviolent occupations, blockades and other actions.
