Thanks to an agreement worked out between the city and the police union, three officers under investigation for allegedly beating a Homewood teen are getting paid overtime without ever setting foot on the streets or buckling into a patrol car -- and that may continue for a while. Officers Richard Ewing, Michael Saldutte and David Sisak were placed on paid administrative leave in February following their controversial Jan. 12 arrest of 18-year-old then-CAPA High School student Jordan Miles, who has accused the officers of attacking him without cause. But while the three officers enjoy extended vacations, the city has ensured that their wallets are at least as fat as they were when the officers were actually working.  Israeli ultra-rightist protested in Pittsburgh Walter Smolarek, PSLWeb.org, Thursday, February 11th, 2010 
On Wednesday, Feb. 3, more than 50 community members and activists converged outside the Hillel Jewish University Center in Pittsburgh to protest the presence of Efraim Eitam, an ultra right-wing Israeli general turned politician. Demonstrators were outraged that the JUC would host such an openly racist figure. Eitam has referred to Arabs as “cancer” and has made thinly veiled calls for ethnic cleansing. PULSE: 20 Top Global Media Figures of 2009 PULSE, Thursday, December 31st, 2009 
The staff of the independent, not-for-profit online publication The Electronic Intifada (EI) work tirelessly with their contributors to present important reports and commentary on Palestine-related issues with the goal of countering the skewed coverage mainstream media outlets provide on Israel’s occupation of Palestine. Launched in 2001 by Ali Abunimah, Nigel Parry, Arjan El Fassed and Laurie King, EI has since blossomed into a regular stop for anyone who is serious about Palestine and is used as a source of reference by a variety of readers—it has a quarter of a million visitors each month. Wise guys Marina Saint Martin, The Gold Coast Bulletin, Sunday, December 20th, 2009 
But not all such art is historic. There are many charming early 1900s biblical illustrations, both traditional and modern. Of course, not all are charming. There is, for example, the disturbing Gottfried Helnwein Nazi Dreaming, featuring a group of SS officers grouped around a blonde Madonna, on whose lap stands a naked child, with a noticeable resemblance to Hitler. Or there is the Modern Nativity by Nigel Parry, created as a prayer for a single mother. This nativity scene, features Wanted posters. Above sits Joseph, where the captive Mary cannot see him. A rather confronting work. Video: National Special Security Events and Independent Media Our World In Depth, Monday, December 14th, 2009 
Footage from and analysis of recent National Special Security Events including the G-20 in Pittsburgh. Interview of Pittsburgh and Twin Cities Indymedia journalists Nigel Parry, Dan Feidt and Jessica McPherson. Our World In Depth was first cablecast in St. Paul (on SPNN channel 15) and Minneapolis (on MTN channel 17) in 2006. So who is the idiot here? Doron Rosenblum, Ha'aretz, Sunday, November 1st, 2009 
Therefore, we once again prepared for the previous round, and were once again hit by an intelligence surprise: Ishmael is no longer such an idiot. He not only blows himself up and fires guns, but also knows how to operate cameras and third-generation cell phones, to juggle his propaganda and activate the long arms of the law all over the world in the most sophisticated fashion. The "electronic intifada," which appears to be more effective than any of its predecessors, has caught us with our pants down. Suddenly, even our most senior officers and cabinet ministers, who are holed up inside the country for fear of lawsuits abroad, have begun to realize that it is not possible to respond to everything with fire.

Nigel Parry and Vlad Teichberg have their own theories about such encounters. Parry, of Twin Cities Indymedia, and Teichberg, of the New York-based indymedia Glass Bead Collective, had multiple members on the streets here and at last year's Republican National Convention. "At the RNC, cameras were not harmed," Teichberg says, though reportedly 40 journalists were arrested. |
