An Article 32 hearing is a proceeding under the United States Uniform Code of Military Justice, similar to that of a preliminary hearing in civilian law. Its name is derived from UCMJ section VII ("Trial Procedure") Article 32 (10 U.S.C. 832), which mandates the hearing. While stating re the prosecution 'no charge or specification may be referred to a general court-martial for trial until a thorough and impartial investigation of all the matters set forth therein has been made', Article 32 currently provides no upper time limit on consequent detention of the accused before trial.... An investigation is normally directed when it appears the charges are of such a serious nature that trial by general court-martial may be warranted. The commander directing an investigation under Article 32 details a commissioned officer as investigating officer who will conduct the investigation and make a report of conclusions and recommendations. This officer is never the accuser, trial counsel (judge advocate prosecutor), nor in the accused's chain of command. This officer may or may not have any legal training, although the use of military attorneys (judge advocates) is recommended and common within service practice. If the investigating officer is not a lawyer, he or she may seek legal advice from an impartial source, but may not obtain such advice from counsel for any party. Article 32 hearing
is there any scope for corruption to allow it to effectively become a show trial?
It would seem to me that first Military Officers look at serving on a Courts Martial board as a very serious matter and preform those duties in as faithful a manner as humanly possible, and secondly the absolute last thing anyone in the military wants to have happen is for there to be any reason for an appeal and have this drag out any longer than it has to.
So Manning certainly knew about this kind of thing, but either didn't do it or didn't do it correctly. I wonder how difficult it is to mess something like that up?
Well,
Johnson testified that he found two attempts to delete data on Manning’s laptop. Sometime in January 2010, the computer’s OS was re-installed, deleting information prior to that time. Then, on or around Jan. 31, someone attempted to erase the drive by doing what’s called a “zerofill” — a process of overwriting data with zeroes. Whoever initiated the process chose an option for overwriting the data 35 times — a high-security option that results in thorough deletion — but that operation was canceled. Later, the operation was initiated again, but the person chose the option to overwrite the information only once — a much less secure and less thorough option.
First you actually have to shred the files you don't want around, then do a quick single pass ZeroFill then on a frequent basis defrag the harddisk and do a high-level ZeroFill; few will have the patience to do this consistently enough to be effective. It's simply human nature to get sloppy and over-confident after a while.
The problem is a drug like methadone has a long half-life, so you have to build up to a therapeutic dose slowly, and if you over-shoot it takes a long time to clear. Taking an extra pill because the normal dose isn't "working" can push you into a toxic range;
Methadone has a typical elimination half-life of 15 to 60 hours with a mean of around 22. However, metabolism rates vary greatly between individuals, up to a factor of 100,[46][47] ranging from as few as 4 hours to as many as 130 hours,[48] or even 190 hours.[49] This variability is apparently due to genetic variability in the production of the associated enzymes CYP3A4, CYP2B6 and CYP2D6. Many substances can also induce, inhibit or compete with these enzymes further affecting (sometimes dangerously) methadone half-life. Methadone
and with a halflife in the 1 day range on a once a day drug, the OD can happen well after the extra dose.
Well, the point of the article was that it was only Medicaid that was putting people on Methadone after putting it on the 'preferred drugs' list, implying that it is an 'equally safe' drug against all evidence to the contrary.
I'm not sure why being on a benefits provider's "'preferred drugs' list" would have anything to do with "'equally safe' drug" unless that benefits provider was also providing malpractice insurance. At least with commercial providers, they have to provide enough benefits to keep the clients paying while paying the physicians enough to keep them participating. There are other ways to control costs for example, Methadone HCL 10mg; RITE AID PHARMACY 1607 24TH STREET PORT HURON, MI 48060, 90 ea is $21.99, BLUE WATER PHARMACY 1209, 10TH STREET STE A PORT HURON, MI 48060, 90ea is $248.60. Hydocodone/APAP 5-500 ranges from $10.00 through $65.10 for 30ea; Hydocodone/APAP 10-500 ranges from $59.29 - $155.60 per www.michigandrugprices.com our Meijers pharmacies doesn't charge from most common generic antibiotics, our Kroger's has common generics at $4.00 for 30 and $10.00 for 90day supplies so just by shopping smart, I haven't paid even a full co-pay in years.
Hello This is Miriam at OnStar, our telemetry reports that your vehicle has been involved in an accident with airbag deployment, do you require assistance?
The other problem is the Drones command and control signals come from and their signals go to satellites above the drones so one of their strengths is they are very hard to jam from the ground because all of their jam-able receivers are pointing up. The Iranians don't have much of a satellite capability so any drone-clone would have to be controlled from ground stations, and have to transmit any sensor data down to the ground station as well. This will kill any ECM resistance as well as making them look like a search-light in the RF spectrum.
Actually I'm surprised that the drone didn't have a failsafe self destruct, the missile that I worked on had one; if it lost a certain classified signal for a classified length of time the warhead would detonate. One would think that with all of the classified coatings, sensors, avionics and airframe it would have been rigged to the gills.
Well if they are saying that we are supposedly STEALING that which WE, THE PEOPLE owns anyways, isn't that at least defamation of character? Might not the litigation equivalent of a Death of a thousand cuts be more appropriate?
Placing your device under water, with all the maintenance costs that involves and the need for scuba gear and high $$$ divers to even work on it.
Well lets see;
O-DriveTM The O-DriveTM is a self-contained 250kW power conversion module for use in wave and tidal energy systems. It is designed to be detachable and retrievable, enabling convenient and low-cost maintenance.
The O-DriveTM was developed by BioPower Systems. It is based on the conversion of mechanical energy from an oscillating source to electricity using a hydraulic system coupled to a full AC-DC-AC power conversion system. Within each 250kW module, two hydraulic cylinders deliver high pressure fluid to a bank of accumulators which in turn supply a uniform flow to a hydraulic motor that is directly coupled to an electric generator. The system is self-regulating in variable wave or tidal conditions, such that power to the grid is stable and of utility-grade quality.
The 250kW rating is standard. A 1MW bioWAVETM would be designed to utilise four 250kW O-DriveTM modules, each individually removable, allowing for maximum flexibility and reliability....
Convenient Retrieval for Servicing
Each O-DriveTM module is detachable and designed to be conveniently retrieved for servicing. View the animation for a demonstration of this process. O-DriveTM
Basically the maintenance ship pulls up, sends down a signal and the power unit floods the blades, the O-Drive disengages and releases a buoy. The ship picks up the buoy and pulls up the O-Drive by the cable, the reinstatement is probably the reverse. For more complicated problems, there are always the ROV option, if that doesn't work in a rare, a commercial diver can easily work at 40-45m.

He got 3 hots and a cot, got paid and accrued leave time, Hard labor at United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth is going to make that seem like a vacation.
Many of the safeguards that exist in US civilian courts, existed in the Military Courts, well before the civilian's.

Another War? this has been on slow simmer since 1953 with more than a couple instances of fast boil
Hello This is Miriam at OnStar, our telemetry reports that your vehicle has been involved in an accident with airbag deployment, do you require assistance?
You might be surprised at how close to being right he is. Some RC models are so large they need a real runway to take off.
The other problem is the Drones command and control signals come from and their signals go to satellites above the drones so one of their strengths is they are very hard to jam from the ground because all of their jam-able receivers are pointing up.

I thought what is now BP was the main actor in that drama, we were just along for the ride.

you should have said "You just don't know how to appreciate angry Creationists building their own Large Hardon Collider"
