"unarmed model of crisis response"

Los Angeles — Unarmed social workers instead of police would respond to nonviolent calls for service under a proposal Tuesday from several City Council members following nationwide calls for law enforcement reforms in the wake of George Floyd's killing.

A motion signed by six of the council's 15 members would use teams of trained city, county and community-based professionals, such as homeless outreach workers, to handle certain emergency situations, such as mental health crises and substance abuse calls.

The motion calls for city departments to work with the Police Department, Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority and county agencies to develop an "unarmed model of crisis response" for nonviolent calls now handled by the LAPD.

One of America’s most recognizable but unreconstructed household brands, Aunt Jemima pancake products, will change its name and image in an effort by the brand to distance itself from racial stereotypes.

The logo of the brand, familiar to shoppers on every supermarket shelf that features pancake mix and pancake syrup – a staple of the classic American breakfast – features an African American woman named after a character from minstrel shows from the 19th century.

Quaker said the new packaging will be introduced in fall of 2020. A replacement name will be brought in some time after.

Russia would welcome if the US used its influence in Libya to support efforts on achieving cease-fire, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday.

Asked how Moscow considers Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu's statement that the US needs to play a more active role in resolving the Libyan crisis, Lavrov said: "Any constructive assistance can only be welcomed".

Lavrov found it difficult to suggest what steps the US could undertake to contribute to the Libyan settlement, but recalled that the US participated in the Berlin conference, and supported a Security Council resolution that approved the decision of the Berlin conference.

"If the US can use its influence in the Libyan conflict to support the efforts of Russia and other external players who are in favor of an immediate cease-fire, I think it would be very, very positive," he said.

Last week, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said the US is not very active in Libya and suggested Washington needs to play "a little more active role in the political process" in the region.

NO THANKS your problem now

"20 yards from his room"

https://www.wbur.org/news/2020/06/17/beford-veterans-affairs-medical-center-missing-veteran-found

Massachusetts authorities are investigating the death of a 62-year-old military veteran whose body was found in the stairwell of the Bedford Veterans Affairs Medical Center more than a month after he went missing from a nearby residential community.

The man's body was found Friday in the same clothes he was wearing when he was last seen May 8, the Middlesex District Attorney's office announced Tuesday. He was reported missing May 13 by an employee of Caritas Communities, which operates a residential home for veterans on the campus of the VA hospital.

The door to the stairwell where his body was found is in the same building he was living in and is about 20 yards from his room at Caritas Communities, the district attorney's office said. His body was found by another resident at the facility, and it appears he had been dead for an "extended period," the office said.

Investigators will examine the policies and procedures at the facility, as well as the relationship between the hospital and Caritas.

Obamas CIA really screwed up, Democrats demand Republicans fix it !

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., pressed new Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe detail security measures taken to safeguard sensitive intelligence after an internal CIA report said “woefully lax security” at the Center for Cyber Intelligence led to the “largest data loss in CIA history” – the leak of hacking tools to Wikileaks.

Wyden had obtained a copy of the nearly three-year-old report on the 2017 “Vault 7” leak that occurred a year after hackers stole what could be as much as 34T of data.

“We failed to recognize or act in a coordinated fashion on warning signs that a person or persons with access to CIA classified information posed an unacceptable risk to national security,” the WikiLeaks Task Force report said, noting that “in a press to meet growing and critical mission needs, CCI had prioritized building cyber weapons at the expense of securing their own systems.”

In a June 16 letter, Wyden demanded that Ratcliffe explain why the intelligence community hasn’t protected its .gov domains with multifactor authentication, despite a 2019 emergency directive by CISA to implement the measure after reports that Iranian hackers were engaged in a Domain Name System infrastructure hijacking campaign. The IC’s Joint Worldwide Intel Communications System (JWICS) also hasn’t adopted DMARC, the senator wrote.

He also pressed for answers as to why the DNI, the CIA and the National Reconnaissance Office have failed to enable DMARC, asking Ratcliffe to provide “an estimate for when you expect to have implemented this cybersecurity best-practice across the intelligence community.”

Wyden wants a timeline for adoption of the IC Inspector General’s 22 cybersecurity recommendations.

“It is now clear that exempting the intelligence community from baseline federal cybersecurity requirements was a mistake,” Wyden said.
