Apocalypse Cairo

The generals who deposed the Muslim Brotherhood are keener on power than they let on. Will Egypt return to military rule?

ONCE reluctant to appear in the media, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Egypt's top general (pictured), is now very much seeking the limelight, perhaps because he would like to run for president. A recent video of him addressing army officers appeared to be shot for public consumption and duly went viral. His spokesman has said that although the general was not yet standing for office there was nothing to prevent him from so doing if he retired from the army.

Rifle production at the Bergara Custom Shop begins with the selection of an action, and Bergara stocks actions that are capable of being chambered for cartridges up to and including the mighty .338 Lapua. These actions all have critical dimension measurements taken before production begins, just one of the many quality control measures that ensure that all Bergara Custom Rifles are capable of delivering outstanding accuracy.

Speaking to mediapersons on Monday, Rudranath Bhattacharya, the Trinamool Congress MLA from Siliguri and chairman of the standing committee on health, said that of the 37 private nursing homes in the Siliguri Municipal Corporation (SMC) area, not more than 19 or 20 have been sending timely reports to government authorities on the number of dengue cases.

Addressing the media crew, Bhattacharya said 145 confirmed cases of dengue have been reported from Siliguri and the adjoining areas between September 1 and 15.

Though all nursing home authorities in the area had been sent invites to attend Monday's meeting, those of only 29 such facilities showed up.

More than half the nation's 16,000 nursing homes violate federal fire safety standards each year,

government regulations let thousands of older facilities operate without the sprinklers or smoke alarms often required in buildings used by the public.

"the government has routinely let fire safety regulations for nursing homes fall years out of date, even while imposing new rules on everything from the food facilities serve to the cleanliness of their bedding.

You get arrested. The authorities run a background check. They need to know if you have outstanding warrants or unpaid tickets, if you jumped bail somewhere, if you're driving a stolen vehicle. To obtain your criminal history, they routinely send your fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which keeps a database of more than a hundred million prints. The F.B.I., under a federal program known as Secure Communities, will share your fingerprints with the Department of Homeland Security. Homeland Security's core job--the reason it was created--is to prevent terrorist attacks on the United States. Your prints might reveal that you're a suspected terrorist. D.H.S. is also charged with border security. Its Immigration and Customs Enforcement arm, ICE, will run your prints through the D.H.S. database--specifically, its U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program (U.S.-VISIT) and Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT), which also contain more than a hundred million prints--searching for a match with people wanted for immigration violations. If a match occurs, ICE can issue a "detainer." Now the local authorities, before they release you, may notify ICE, which may elect to transfer you to federal custody in order to begin deportation proceedings.

Alien. These incorrect entries flagged Lyttle for ICE's Criminal Alien Program. His fingerprints, however, would presumably establish his U.S. citizenship--his criminal history, as kept by the F.B.I., shows his citizenship numerous times. That is one of the beauties of biometrics: its deployment can trump racial profiling.

The Taliban failed to capture any ground from Afghan security forces fighting for the first time without foreign firepower this fighting season, U.S. officials say, but the insurgents killed scores of soldiers, police and civilians in their campaign to weaken the government.

American and NATO officials say the fledgling army and police aren’t ready to wage a sustained war against a determined insurgency.

Coming just 13 months before most foreign forces are to withdraw, the mixed results reported by U.S. military officials underline the unresolved question of whether some of those forces should stay.
