Politics & Government - 17 December 2007

I'm in a quite complicated situation. I am from a non-EU country, but study in a EU country which from January first becomes a Schengen country. I own a temporary residence visa, valid for a year (until june 2008).

My question is, whether I will be able to travel to Schengen countries using this visa, i.e. without changing it? I've looked on different sources, but found quite contradictory information...

Thanks in advance

My husband is in the National Guard, so we don't have a home base. We live near Quantico so I do most of my grocery shopping there while he's deployed. I also frequently visit Ft. Bragg as well as Ft. Belvoir. Up until this weekend no one has ever questioned me why my car wasn't registered. I have both a dependant card as well as a DoD CAC. When I went to Quantico I was hasseled by the Marine on gate duty for not having my car registered. Then his buddy was like, "Oh, he's National Guard". Do I HAVE to have my car registered? Up until that point no one questioned or stopped me about it. I was thinking about registering it at Ft. Bragg when I drop my husband off so I don't have any more problems.

. . . and the citizenry is forced into transparency (vaporization of privacy), that tyranny ALWAYS follows?

Does EVERYTHING have to be a big damned secret with these folks? If they've done nothing wrong, they have nothing to worry about . . . or something like that.

i was selling my xbox 360 on craigslist locally and i was contacted by a buyer from Brooklyn I'm from Staten island he asked me for my address to send me a check via fedex overnight
when the check was sent i got an email from him stating that his secretary made a mistake and sent 2,000 instead of 320
when the check came it had 4,000 on it he told me to go to the bank and deduct the 320 and ship the rest to someone in Wisconsin through western union supposedly because he had a consignment with some agent i looked it up on google earth and the address i was suppose to ship the rest of the money was in the middle of nowhere just highway roads and grassy plains.
the whole sum of the money is in my bank account being verfied the process takes 3-5 days i deposited the check a day ago when the process is complete someone from some shipping company has to pick up my xbox 360.
should i cancel the whole thing since it might be fraud or what?

When a 10 year old is arrested for cutting meat.

This is what happens when you pass 1 too many feel good laws.

Am I right or wrong on this?

I know I do...GWB has been way too nice to the character assassins. #3 on my wish list is a republican who will fight back, and not worry so much about trying to unify with partisans who only want to destroy him.

It's almost impossible to impeach & convict a President & with executive privilege there is so much he can get away with that for the most part US law doesn't apply to him. But is that right or wrong?

In the UK, If someone is currently serving a suspended sentence for violent crime, and they commit a drink driving offence, does this count as an offence to make them serve their previous sentence or are driving offences counted separately?

Just last week, “Jurors deadlock in 6 of 7 defendants in Sears Tower plot"

MIAMI - One of seven Miami men accused of plotting to join forces with al-Qaida to blow up Chicago's Sears Tower was acquitted Thursday, and a mistrial was declared for the six others after the federal jury deadlocked.

The mistrial means prosecutors will have to decide whether to retry the six men.

The outcome was a setback for the Bush administration, which had seized on the case to illustrate the dangers of homegrown terrorism and trumpet the government's post-Sept. 11 success in infiltrating and smashing terror plots in their very earliest stages.

Lyglenson Lemorin, who was not the alleged ringleader, was acquitted.

Judge: White House logs are public
By MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - White House visitor logs are public documents, a federal judge ruled Monday, rejecting a legal strategy that the Bush administration had hoped would get around public records laws.

I hope someone can please help. Today i received a summons to appear in court due to a incident involving my dog. I am to appear in court in less than 72 Hours. I find this very little time to prepare a defence case or at this time possibly even find a good solicitor, also work commitments could be a problem. Is a person not legally required more notice before a case? As i said the first i knew of it was at 3PM Monday & i am due to appear 10AM Thursday.
