[WND Money] Davi Baker wasnÂ’t quite sure how to comply with the TSAÂ’s demands to inspect his bags for Bitcoin. Baker had found himself in a testy exchange with airport security personnel during an enhanced screening, and they wanted an additional search of his belongings.
“We saw Bitcoin in your bag and need to check,” he recalls the TSA agent saying in a lengthy blog post about the ordeal.
The problem is, of course, Bitcoin is a completely digital currency; it’s like if Delta banned you from traveling with your Facebook profile. Baker was admittedly snarky in response, asking “What did the Bitcoin look like?”, thinking it would be impossible to describe a nonexistent physical object. Unbelievable! No, not really.

Right now, bitcoin is on par with TSA's moral authority. They both sort of exist, and can cost money, but seem to have that non-existent, unaccountable quality about them.

[An Nahar] Algerian police Saturday dispersed a demonstration in the capital against ailing President Abdelaziz Bouteflika ... 10th president of Algeria. He was elected in 1999 and is currently on his third or fourth term, who will probably die in office of old age... seeking a fourth term in office in April elections.
Bouteflika, who has been in power since 1999 and turns 77 on Sunday, announced a week ago he would seek reelection in an April 17 vote, after speculation his frail health would stop him from running.
A group opposed to a fourth term for Bouteflika had called for the demonstration online, and those taking part on Saturday included journalists and rights activists.
Protesters chanted "no to a fourth term" and "15 years is enough", an Agence La Belle France Presse journalist at the scene said.
There has been growing concern about Bouteflika serving another term, given the physical state of the president, who was hospitalized in Gay Paree for three months last year after suffering a mini stroke.
He has chaired just two cabinet meetings since returning home in July, and has not spoken in public for nearly two years.
Former Algerian premier Mouloud Hamrouche Thursday called for a "peaceful" change of the regime, which he said was no longer capable of running the country.
And Said Sadi, former head of the secular opposition Rally for Culture and Democracy Party, also spoke out against Bouteflika on Tuesday.
He urged Algerians to "delegitimize" the upcoming elections, urging a political transition similar to the one that took place last month in Tunisia.

Egypt's state news agency is reporting the youngest son of ousted President Mohammed Mursi has been detained by police on suspicion of drug possession.
The MENA news agency said police detained son Abdullah Mursi, a university freshman, Saturday after a police patrol found a suspicious car parked on the side of the road in el-Obour city, east of Cairo. The agency said officers found two rolled hashish cigarettes in the car.
A security official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters, said the car's passengers were Mursi's youngest son and a friend. He said prosecutors are questioning the two men.
Likely not WoT related, but sonny boy ought to understand that because of Pops, he's now a marked man...
Turn about is fair play. Look what his Pops did to his predecessor's boys. Not to mention to his predecessor.
Mursi was toppled in a popularly backed military overthrow in July and has been in detention since, facing a number of trials.

[An Nahar] Britannia's opposition Labor party voted Saturday for major reforms that will dilute its historical links with the trade unions -- at the risk of losing millions of pounds in political donations.
Leader Ed Miliband hailed delegates at a special conference in London for having the "courage to change" with their vote, by 86 to 14 percent, to support his proposed reforms to leadership elections and union funding.
He said the changes would help re-engage Labor's traditional supporters in politics, insisting: "I don't want to break the link with working people. I want to hear the voices of working people louder than ever before."
Under the reforms, the electoral college system used to choose the Labor leader will be scrapped in favor of giving a vote to each individual member.
Currently the unions, party members and elected members of parliament each cast a block vote -- a system that Miliband used to his advantage when he narrowly beat his brother to the leadership in 2010 with union support.
The party has also voted to end the process by which union members are automatically affiliated to Labor and a donation is paid on their behalf, unless they opt out.
Members of the unions, which helped found the Labor party in 1900, will now have to actively opt in. Many are expected not to bother, with the result that Labor is likely to suffer a major cut in funding.
The GMB union has already slashed its affiliation funding, and Britannia's biggest union Unite will discuss its arrangements next week. It has warned that only 10 percent of its one million members were likely to stay with Labor.
The reforms were sparked by a row last year over allegations of vote-rigging by Unite in a Scottish parliamentary by-election, raising questions about the link between Labor and unions.
Unite says it did nothing wrong, and insists it will not be sidelined by the changes.
Miliband admitted he had taken a "big risk" in pushing through the reforms, but said: "We should all be proud of the Labor party that has shown the courage to change."
Tony Blair, Labor's most successful prime minister who held office between 1997 and 2007, welcomed the changes as "long overdue".

...to Reform Union Ties

String ties?
[An Nahar] Anti-government protesters erupted into the streets of Venezuela's capital on Saturday, calling for the release of dozens of activists who have been tossed in the slammer Please don't kill me! during three weeks of violent demonstrations.
Protesters from a radical opposition group formed a convoy of cars and bikes in eastern Caracas after fresh violence on Friday saw pitched battles between security forces and demonstrators.
A total of 18 people have died in the demonstrations against President Nicolas Maduro's government, according to official figures.
Protesters on Saturday vowed to boycott Venezuela's annual carnival celebrations as a mark of respect to the dead.
"We honor the dead. No carnival, there is nothing to celebrate," engineering student Argenis Arteaga told Agence La Belle France Presse at the protest.
Saturday's demonstration came after at least 41 people, including several foreign journalists, were arrested during Friday's festivities.
National Guard security forces used water cannons and tear gas to break up student-led demonstrations in the city's wealthy Chacao district.
Hooded protesters set up barricades and responded with a steady barrage of Molotov cocktails.
Maduro has labeled the protests that began on February 4 as a Washington-backed attempted "coup."
He claims that radical opposition leaders have joined students angered by high inflation and goods shortage in plotting to topple his nearly year-old government.
Friday's arrests included eight foreigners who were being "held for international terrorism," state VTV television said in a brief statement.
Venezuela's journalist association SNTP said one of the foreigners was U.S. freelance news hound Andrew Rosati, who writes for the Miami Herald.
Rosati was detained for half an hour and released after being "struck in the face and his abdomen" by security forces, the SNTP said on Twitter.
Also detained and released was a team of journalists from the News Agency that Dare Not be Named, it said.
The SNTP also said Italian photographer La Belle Francesca Commissari, who works for the local daily El Nacional, was being held.
Protest organizer Alfredo Romero said Saturday he had been in contact with Commissari .
"I spoke personally with La Belle Francesca Commissari. She's okay," Romero, president of the Venezuelan Penal Forum, wrote on Twitter.
Government officials released no details on the arrest of foreigners.
Friday's festivities added fuel to protests that had begun to flag after the government decreed several days of holidays to mark the start of carnival season.

Yeah, like you're in a serious continuing drought situation with fires breaking out around you and the mayor decides its now a good time to downsize the fire department.
Sorry. We're busy downsizing to pay for Obamacare. But our president has warned Mr. Putin that he is making poor choices. And that British prime minister just spoke with Mr. Putin by phone, no doubt to convey the same message, possibly adding that he is outraged. So really, what more could you possibly want, the Georgia treatment?

Why? Because the Pole's character still value honor and courage. Despite cravenness and cowardice of their erstwhile allies. This may not be an issue as long as it is confined to the Crimea - but involve the bulk of Ukraine, and the Poles may feel compelled to intervene to "Stabilize" things.
Its not likely, but it is possible. Thats why handling this must be done right, by an engaged leader, not a golfing empty chair in the President's office, and an effete gigalo empty-suit at State.

Gorb, yep. Pretty much the case, given the weak leadership the people have elected, and the nearly complete abdication of foreign affairs conduct by the US President and his Secretaries of State over the past 5 years.

Ukraine’s new prime minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk says his country is refusing to respond with force to what he calls Russian “provocation” in Crimea.
[FOXNEWS] Hundreds of unidentified gunnies surrounded a Ukraine's infantry base in Privolnoye in its Crimea region Sunday.
The convoy included at least 13 troop vehicles each containing 30 soldiers and four armored vehicles with mounted machine guns. The vehicles -- which have Russian license plates -- have surrounded the base and are blocking Ukrainian soldiers from entering or leaving it.
Ukrainian soldiers, with clips in their weapons, have positioned a tank at the gate. The outnumbered Ukrainians placed a tank at the base's gate, leaving the two sides in a tense standoff.
In Kiev, Ukraine's new prime minister urged Russian President Vladimir Putin ...Second and fourth President of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead... to pull back his military, warning that "we are on the brink of disaster."
Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk spoke a day after Russian forces took over the strategic Black Sea peninsula of Crimea from Ukraine without firing a shot.
"There was no reason for the Russian Federation to invade Ukraine," Yatsenyuk said after a closed session of his new parliament in Kiev.
So far, the new government in Kiev has been powerless to react to Russian military tactics. Armed men in uniforms without insignia have moved freely about the key peninsula, occupying airports, smashing equipment at an air base and besieging a Ukrainian infantry base.
Russia has its key Black Sea Fleet stationed on the Crimean peninsula -- which was formerly part of Russia until 1954 -- and nearly 60 percent of Crimea's residents identify themselves as Russian.
Putin has defied calls from the West to pull back his troops, insisting that Russia has a right to protect its interests and Russian-speakers in Crimea and elsewhere in Ukraine. However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... there has been no sign of ethnic Russians facing attacks in Crimea or elsewhere in Ukraine.

..or Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, et al. Can you say Sudetenland boys and girls? They're back. They just morphed from commies to nazis which is easy as they're all socialists.

Depends on definition of "well"? The Russians wearing the jackboots this time, instead of the Germans. A nationalistic socialist is the same regardless of label. And beware regurgitating propaganda that has been used to whip up Russian sheeple, in the form of a "threat" from "fascists" and "Nazis". No reports of this except from the usual left-wing players and Russian sycophants, and no real evidence if you examine their claims. The willingness to believe such tripe shows gullibility, a lack of critical thinking, and demonstrates a great deal of ethnic-based thinly veiled bigotry on the part of the people believing such things uncritically. All it does is make such people a useful tool/fool.
This could have been resolved without the military component - there were already votes scheduled in the Crimea for further separation from Ukraine, and further autonomy -- which would likely have lead to the anschluss that Fuhrer Putin wanted. There was no threat to the ethic Russian citizens - it was as manufactured a threat as was the mistreatment of ethnic Germans in the Sudeten or the Danzig corridor. This is thuggery and political intimidation, period.
For you, Grom, I guess you think it turns out "well" if you end up being the side wearing the jackboots. For me, Id rather there be no jackboots at all. Thats the difference between us.

Insofar as we have accepted the presentation of the revolution as a fascist coup, we have delayed policies that might have stopped the killing earlier, and helped prepare the way for war. Insofar as we wish for peace and democracy, we are going to have to begin by getting the story right. Anything else is to reinforce the authoritarians and decrease a just and proper settlement.
[An Nahar] No sooner had deadly violence died down in Kiev last week than a menacing video appeared on YouTube, promising a "Great Ukrainian Reconquista" against images of armored vehicles on fire and violent police beatings.
Meet Pravy Sektor, a far-right paramilitary group that rose to prominence during the anti-government protests that rocked Ukraine, prompting warnings that a largely peaceful protest movement had been hijacked by radical elements that could have a major say in politics following the ouster of president Viktor Yanukovych.
"It's just the beginning," Pravy Sektor leader Dmytro Yarosh says in the video to the sound of protesters banging on their shields, sitting in front of his group's red and black banner that mirrors that of the controversial UPA armed force which battled for Ukraine's independence during and post-Second World War.
Yarosh's young, balaclava-clad followers have inspired awe and fear in equal measure during the three-month protest movement over their reported fearless -- and sometimes violent -- involvement on the frontlines of festivities with riot police on Kiev's Independence Square, and their firm stance against corruption.
Many people on the square feel that they put words into actions -- unlike key opposition leaders who made speeches on the central stage but were nowhere to be seen when violence broke out last week, leaving nearly 100 dead including a dozen coppers.
And while those actions may have been of the Molotov cocktail-throwing kind, some believe they ultimately swayed the outcome.
"All politicians now are corrupted by the political system, but Yarosh is new," says Petro Gutsalo, a 57-year-old protester who wants to see the Pravy Sektor leader awarded a key government post.

Pro-Western means different things to different people.

And there is your problem - inaccurate coverage. hat has taken place is a popular revolution, with all of the messiness, confusion, and opposition that entails. The young leaders of the Maidan, some of them leftists, some rightist, have risked their lives to oppose a regime that represented, at an extreme, the inequalities that we criticize at home, and that were criminal, authoritarian, and aligned with the authoritarian gangster Putin. They have an experience of revolution that we do not. Part of that experience, unfortunately, is that Westerners are provincial, gullible, and reactionary.
[An Nahar] U.S. President Barack Obama I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go... met with his national security team Saturday to weigh policy options after Russia's parliament endorsed military action in Ukraine, a White House official said.
Senior members of the Washington national security establishment, including General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, were earlier seen heading into the White House for the rare Saturday meeting.
Meanwhile, ...back at the wreckage, Captain Poindexter wished he had a cup of coffee. Even instant would do... U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel spoke by phone with his Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu on Saturday after Moscow approved sending troops into Ukraine following a bloody three-month uprising there.
"Pentagon chief Chuck Hagel spoke to his Russian counterpart this morning," a U.S. defense official told Agence La Belle France Presse on condition of anonymity. Hagel then went to the White House for a meeting on the crisis. Officials said there was "no change" to the U.S. military's presence in the region.

I anticipate economic sanctions, which will hurt the West more than Russia. Russia's raw material exports will flow toward China displacing existing supply which will redirect toward the West with additional costs.
For example, Australian LNG will head to Europe a much longer trip.
(a) Start WWIII.
(b) Tell Putin not to be such a bitch.
(c) Have Michelle issue a statement condemning traditional Ukrainian food as unhealthy.
(d) Find a Jewish connection.

What did you miss?
e) on the parts of Germany and the US: stop replacing coal plants with natural gas, reopen them if necessary. On the part of Germany this might mean rebuilding some plants, and using local coal. In short, review and reconsider their commitment to all the policies put in place by the idiot Tranzi Prime Minister who went on to go to work for Gazprom. On the part of the US: stop nickel-and-diming the coal industry, and the oil industry, use natural gas to replace imported oil instead of imported coal, and actually build export terminals.
f) on the part of France: stop selling Putin weapons.
Russia's primary source of income is selling Europe natural gas it doesn't really need but buys because of the artificially created delusion that Coal Is Going To Destroy the Earth.
And the electronics and night vision in the more-up-to-date tanks they have are all French. And should I mention the two light carriers the French are building for them?
In short, Germany and France need to stop surrendering the Rhineland industries to Russia. And get an economy besides being a reseller for Gazprom.

No domestic angle to it, which is why Obama has completely ignored this since he was first warned in 2009, and why he went golfing instead of dealing with it. He doesn't care if he bungles foreign affairs because he is focused on power grabbing in the US.

Ukrainian nationalist paramilitary and later partisan army that engaged in a series of guerrilla conflicts during World War II against Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, and both Underground and Communist Poland.
[BBC] Ukraine says it has put its army on full combat alert after Russia's parliament approved the deployment of Russian troops to Ukraine.
Acting President Olexander Turchynov said he had also stepped up security at key sites, including nuclear plants.
Russia's Vladimir Putin ...Second and fourth President of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead... requested extra troops to protect Russian interests in Ukraine. It came on a day of pro-Russia rallies in the country.
The move has been met with alarm from Western leaders.
President Putin had a 90-minute phone call with US President Barack Obama Republicans can come along for the ride, but they've got to sit in the back... in which, the Kremlin said, he made clear that Moscow reserves the right to protect its interests and those of Russian speakers in Ukraine.

They have maybe a battalion in the Crimea, so it's gone. But the rest of the Ukraine, especially east of the Dnieper river? That will be very hard fought if Putin chooses to go after it. Lots of casualties on both sides. And then there is the likelihood of partisan groups popping up all over the rear areas for the Russians. This could get ugly.
SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine -- Russian armed forces effectively seized control of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula on Saturday, as President Vladimir V. Putin had the Russian Parliament grant him broad authority to use military force in Ukraine in response to deepening instability there.
Russian troops stripped of identifying insignia and military vehicles bearing the black license plates of Russia's Black Sea force swarmed the major thoroughfares of Crimea and occupied major government buildings, closing the main airport and solidifying what had been a covert effort to control the largely pro-Russian region of Ukraine.
In Moscow, Mr. Putin convened the upper house of Parliament to forcefully denounce President Obama and obtain authorization to protect Russian citizens and soldiers stationed in Crimea as well as other parts of Ukraine.
Both actions, military and parliamentary, were a direct rebuff to Mr. Obama, who on Friday pointedly warned Russia to respect Ukraine's territorial sovereignty.
Worked well, didn't it...
In the south, in Crimea, scores of heavily armed soldiers fanned out across the center of the regional capital, Simferopol. They wore green camouflage uniforms with no identifying insignia, but they spoke Russian and were clearly part of a Russian military mobilization. In Balaklava, a long column of military vehicles blocking the road to a border post bore Russian plates.
Large pro-Russia crowds rallied in the eastern Ukrainian cities of Donetsk and Kharkiv, where there were reports of violence. In Kiev, the Ukrainian capital, fears grew within the new provisional government that separatist upheaval would fracture the country just days after a three- month period of civil unrest had ended with the ouster of President Viktor F. Yanukovych, a Kremlin ally who fled to Russia.
On Saturday morning, the pro-Russia prime minister of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, declared that he had sole control over the military and the police in the disputed peninsula and appealed to Mr. Putin for Russian help in safeguarding the region. He also said a public referendum on independence would be held on March 30.
The Kremlin has denied any attempt to seize Crimea, where it maintains important military installations, including the headquarters of its Black Sea Fleet. But the Kremlin quickly issued a statement saying that Mr. Aksyonov's plea "would not be ignored," and within hours the Federation Council, the upper chamber of Parliament, had authorized military action.
The authorization, while citing Crimea, covered the use of Russian forces in the entire "territory of Ukraine," and its time frame extended indefinitely "until the normalization of the sociopolitical environment in the country." Parliament also asked Mr. Putin to withdraw Russia's ambassador to the United States.
Officials in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, reacted angrily and reiterated their demands that Russia pull back its forces, and confine them to the military installations in Crimea that Russia has long leased from Ukraine.
"The presence of Russian troops in Crimea now is unacceptable," said acting Prime Minister Arseniy P. Yatsenyuk. Decrying the Russian deployment as a "provocation," he added, "We call on the government of the Russian Federation to immediately withdraw its troops, return to the place of deployment and stop provoking civil and military confrontation in Ukraine."
Nice words. What will you do about it?
Near the entrance to Balaklava, the site of a Ukrainian customs and border post near Sevastopol, the column of military vehicles with Russian plates included 10 troop trucks, with 30 soldiers in each, two military ambulances and five armored vehicles. Soldiers, wearing masks and carrying automatic rifles, stood on the road keeping people away from the convoy, while some local residents gathered in a nearby square waving Russian flags and shouting, "Russia! Russia!"
As with the troops in downtown Simferopol, the soldiers did not have markings on their uniforms. They would not say where they were from.
There were also other unconfirmed reports of additional Russian military forces arriving in Crimea, including Russian ships landing in Fedosiya, in eastern Crimea.
Crimea, while part of Ukraine, has enjoyed a large degree of autonomy under an agreement with the federal government in Kiev since shortly after Ukrainian independence from the Soviet Union. The strategically important peninsula, which has been the subject of military disputes for centuries, has strong historic, linguistic and cultural ties to Russia. The population of roughly two million is predominantly Russian, followed by a large number of Ukrainians, and Crimean Tatars, people of Turkic-Muslim origin.

Realistically speaking, there is little the Ukraine can do, militarily, with the forces they have in the Crimea. They have at best one battalion there, and it's spread out. Outside of Crimea, they do have a lot of tanks, artillery, etc. but its questionable if the have enough offensive firepower to push back what appears to be a couple of brigades of naval infantry, an armor brigade, and a ton of well armed militia groups, all of whom are dug in and would have solid air support.
So consider the Crimea to be gone. The time to do something about it was quite a while back, but the US administration was too busy attacking the Tea Party with the IRS, and going after critics of Obamacare.

[Pak Daily Times] The lives of Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... coppers are at risk while performing their duties as almost 172 coppers were killed in the line of duty in the city during 2013 but their families have still not received promised compensation from police department.
It is pertinent to mention here that police department gives immediate compensation of Rs 40,000 for the funeral expenses to heirs of the martyr while Rs 2 million is also given to each victim family for compensating their loss.
However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... it has been learnt that majority of the heirs had not received neither the funeral expenses nor Rs 2 million compensation although the department had received Rs 320 million in this regard while the provincial government had also approved Rs 600 million.
DSP Qasim Ghauri was bumped off by land mafia elements during a five-hour-long encounter in Safari Park area of Karachi. A policeman was killed and five cops among two SHOs were also injured in the incident.
Talking to PPI, Ghauris son, Noman, said only Rs 100,000 given by an NGO to AIG Sindh had been provided to him. We have received only Rs one lack which is just a peanut for us. I had completed my bachelors and applied for son quota but I have still not received any reply from the police officials, he said.
Similarly, police constable Bashir Ahmed was killed by armed miscreants within the limits of Korangi cop shoppe on 15 February 2013. His brother, Ijaz Ahmed, told PPI that his family had not received Rs 2 million compensation from the police department. I have only received Rs 40,000 for funeral expenses while I did not get Rs 2 million compensation. We received a cheque of Rs 1 lack from AIG Sindh Shahid Hayat but we had to return it due to incorrect name of his wife, he said.
He said that the family had to suffer a lot due to the killing of Bashir Ahmed and Rs 2 million compensation would help his children to stand on their own feet.
