<html>RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- The global market for non-lethal weapons is growing and will top $1.1 billion by 2018, says a report on the commercial impact of non-conventional warfare.

The non-lethal weapons market is usually defined as being distinct from the industry that seeks to excel in the delivery of enemy destruction in the most efficient and economical way possible.
 +
 +
As expected, both areas are mired in ambiguity and subject to endless discussion among industry stake holders. But recent regional conflicts that are neither full-scale wars nor long-drawn battles have driven the market for non-lethal weapons, said to be worth $880.5 million in 2013.

 +
A steady increase in market growth is set to raise that level to $1.15 billion by 2018, the report, "Non-Lethal Weapons Market?(2013-2018),<strong>cheap nba basketball jerseys</strong>," said.
 +
 +
Civil unrest such as in Brazil and other Latin American countries is seen as a boon for the non-lethal weapons manufacturers. Governments' response to Arab Spring democracy movements in the Middle East and Africa have also generated new demand for non-lethal weaponry acquisitions by beleaguered rulers in those areas.

"The change in the nature of warfare from conventional to insurgency and war in urban terrain has been a driving factor for the non-lethal weapons sector," said MarketsandMarkets, which published the report.
 +

"The sector is highly competitive with a host of industry participants vying for contracts, and austerity in most Western countries is expected to increase competition," the report said.

The report looked at non-lethal "blunt impact" weapons, including batons and rubber bullets, dispersed weapons, such as tear gas and pepper sprays,<strong>nba jerseys</strong>, electrical devices and directed-energy weapons such stun guns and anti-vehicle weapons that stop short of destroying the target.

 +
"Non-lethal weapons are designed with the intent to minimize casualties and significant injuries, as well as undesired damage to property, in comparison with the use of lethal weapons in the same situations," the U.S. Defense Department's joint non-lethal weapons program says.
 +
 +
The United States is expected to procure non-lethal weapons worth more than $1 billion during the five-year period.
 +
 +
There have been increased purchases by Russia and many of the emerging economies, including countries in the Middle East, that have had to deal with internal dissent and related domestic security issues.
 +
 +
Apart from the existing non-lethal weapons technology, a number of new capabilities are being developed, mainly by manufacturers in the United States, the report says.
 +
 +
These are likely to include sensor-fused non-lethal munitions, distributed sound and light array, vehicle and vessel stopping devices, and multi-frequency radio-frequency vehicle stopper, the report says.

However, a recent European symposium on non-lethal weapons considered controversies surrounding the non-lethal weapons.

NSA phone searches broke privacy rules, declassified court p

<html>WASHINGTON, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- National Security Agency database searches of Americans' phone numbers broke privacy rules for three years,[1] [2] [3] [4] <a name="http://www.yc-byq.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=12126"></a> [http://www.yc-byq.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=12126 </ a> <a href="http://www.yc-byq.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=12126">4.12 ] , a secret court ruled in newly released documents.

The NSA sought to explain away the "compliance incident" before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ruling, saying no one at the agency fully understood how its own program worked.

Judge said in a scathing rebuke the NSA's explanation of the violations "strains credulity."

The improper activity went on from May 2006 until January 2009, when Walton, the secret court's presiding judge, put a stop to it and ordered the program's overhaul in the final days of the administration.

The court, which issues warrants and sets rules for collecting foreign intelligence inside the United States, ruled in 2006 the NSA must have a "reasonable articulable suspicion" each phone number being targeted is associated with a terrorist organization.

But over the three years, only 1,935 of the 17,835 phone numbers checked against phone records were based on that reasonable-suspicion standard, intelligence officials cited by The Wall Street Journal said.

Walton -- whose court is known as the FISA Court, after the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that established it -- said in a March 2009 ruling the NSA had so "frequently and systematically violated" the practices and procedures it said it was following that a vital part of the program "never functioned effectively."

The judge in his opinion released Tuesday criticized "repeated inaccurate statements made in the government's submissions."

Officials had told the court the violations were unintentional, explaining NSA officials didn't understand their own records-collection program.

"From a technical standpoint, there was no single person who had a complete technical understanding of the [record] system architecture,Denver Broncos Jerseys Wholesale," NSA Director Keith Alexander said in a Feb. 13, 2009, declaration to the judge.

Alexander and other intelligence officials have sought to reassure lawmakers and the public the phone-records program, as sweeping as it sounds,cheap nba basketball jerseys, is vigilantly executed under the court's strict oversight.

"This is not a program where we are out freewheeling it," Alexander told the House Intelligence Committee June 13. "It is a well-overseen and a very focused program."

His testimony came a week after the first disclosure by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden of the massive phone records collection.

Key lawmakers on Capitol Hill renewed their calls Tuesday to shut down the NSA's phone-data program.

"We have said before that we have seen no evidence that the bulk collection of Americans' phone records has provided any intelligence that couldn't be gathered through less intrusive means and that bulk collection should be ended," Sens. ,Removing chemical weapons involves huge hurdles Removing chemical weapons involves huge hurdles Removing chemical weapons involves huge hurdles Removing chemical weapons involves huge hurdles Removing chemical weapons involves huge hurdles Removing chemical weapons involves huge hurdles Removing chemical weapons involves huge hurdles Removing chemical weapons involves huge hurdles Removing chemical weapons involves huge hurdles <a name="http://218.94.26.15:90/showtopic-872415.aspx">Removing chemical weapons involves huge hurdles</a> [http://218.94.26.15:90/showtopic-872415.aspx Removing chemical weapons involves huge hurdles</ a> <a href="http://218.94.26.15:90/showtopic-872415.aspx">4.12 Removing chemical weapons involves huge hurdles] Removing chemical weapons involves huge hurdles Removing chemical weapons involves huge hurdles,nba jerseys, D-Ore., and , D-Colo., said in a statement.

"These documents provide further evidence that bulk collection is not only a significant threat to the constitutional liberties of Americans, but that it is a needless one," they said.

Significant additional violations, "particularly about violations pertaining to the bulk email records collection program," remain classified, the senators said.

The violations outlined the declassified documents were uncovered by the Justice Department after a Jan. 9, 2009, NSA meeting, the documents indicate. The government told the FISA Court about them Jan. 15.

National Intelligence Director said the discovery and reporting of the privacy violations proved NSA oversight worked.

The released documents "are a testament to the government's strong commitment to detecting, correcting and reporting mistakes that occur in implementing technologically complex intelligence collection activities, and to continually improving its oversight and compliance processes," Clapper wrote in a cover note accompanying the released documents.

Officials made the violations public in compliance with a court order stemming from lawsuits against the Justice Department by civil liberties groups and at President 's direction following Snowden's leaks.

The court ruling was one of more than a dozen documents declassified and released. The release included roughly 1,800 pages.

Text of President Obama's speech

<html>My fellow Americans, tonight I want to talk to you about Syria, why it matters and where we go from here. Over the past two years, what began as a series of peaceful protests against the repressive regime of Bashar al-Assad has turned into a brutal civil war. Over a hundred thousand people have been killed. Millions have fled the country. In that time,nba jerseys, America has worked with allies to provide humanitarian support, to help the moderate opposition and to shape a political settlement. 

But I have resisted calls for military action because we cannot resolve someone else's civil war through force, particularly after a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

On that terrible night, the world saw in gruesome detail the terrible nature of chemical weapons and why the overwhelming majority of humanity has declared them off limits, a crime against humanity and a violation of the laws of war. 

This was not always the case. In World War I, American GIs were among the many thousands killed by deadly gas in the trenches of Europe. In World War II, the Nazis used gas to inflict the horror of the Holocaust. Because these weapons can kill on a mass scale, with no distinction between soldier and infant, the civilized world has spent a century working to ban them. And in 1997, the United States Senate overwhelmingly approved an international agreement prohibiting the use of chemical weapons, now joined by 189 governments that represent 98 percent of humanity.
On Aug. 21st, these basic rules were violated, along with our sense of common humanity.
No one disputes that chemical weapons were used in Syria. The world saw thousands of videos, cellphone pictures and social media accounts from the attack. And humanitarian organizations told stories of hospitals packed with people who had symptoms of poison gas.
Moreover, we know the Assad regime was responsible. In the days leading up to Aug. 21st, we know that Assad's chemical weapons personnel prepared for an attack near an area they where they mix sarin gas. They distributed gas masks to their troops. Then they fired rockets from a regime-controlled area into 11 neighborhoods that the regime has been trying to wipe clear of opposition forces.
Shortly after those rockets landed, the gas spread, and hospitals filled with the dying and the wounded. We know senior figures in Assad's military machine reviewed the results of the attack. And the regime increased their shelling of the same neighborhoods in the days that followed. We've also studied samples of blood and hair from people at the site that tested positive for sarin.
When dictators commit atrocities, they depend upon the world to look the other way until those horrifying pictures fade from memory. But these things happened. The facts cannot be denied.
The question now is what the United States of America and the international community is prepared to do about it, because what happened to those people, to those children, is not only a violation of international law, it's also a danger to our security.

Flash Startups Nabbed Over $1 Billion This Week

<html>Cisco entered the flash storage market on Tuesday .

Whiptail, founded in 2008 and based in Whippany, New Jersey, makes storage systems based on flash memory chips, the same storage tech used in smartphones and thumb drives. Flash storage is growing in popularity because it's faster than traditional disk drive storage systems.

It isn't surprising that Cisco would want to own its own flash storage tech. Cisco makes a popular data center server known as the Unified Compute System (UCS). UCS combines servers with networking,Custom Denver Broncos NFL Jerseys For Sale, storage and "virtualization" software that allows many operating systems to run on it.

But Cisco has been struggling with its biggest partners for UCS, storage giant EMC and its subsidiary VMware.

NYMEX crude oil steady after President Obama chooses diploma

<html>NEW YORK,Denver Broncos Jerseys Wholesale, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Crude oil prices for October delivery held steady overnight after U.S. President backed away from a military intervention in Syria.

Tension arising from Syria's alleged use of chemical weapons against its own citizens in late August sent oil prices to an elevated plateau, peaking above $110 per barrel.

With the threat of a military intervention easing,cheap nba basketball jerseys, oil prices are headed down again.

West Texas Intermediate crude oil for October delivery shed 7 cents overnight to reach $107.32 per barrel. Reformulated blendstock gasoline added 0.44 cents to $2.7401 per gallon. Heating oil gained 1.63 cents to $3.0831 per gallon.

Global market for non

<html>RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- The global market for non-lethal weapons is growing and will top $1.1 billion by 2018, says a report on the commercial impact of non-conventional warfare.

The non-lethal weapons market is usually defined as being distinct from the industry that seeks to excel in the delivery of enemy destruction in the most efficient and economical way possible.

As expected, both areas are mired in ambiguity and subject to endless discussion among industry stake holders. But recent regional conflicts that are neither full-scale wars nor long-drawn battles have driven the market for non-lethal weapons, said to be worth $880.5 million in 2013.

"The sector is highly competitive with a host of industry participants vying for contracts, and austerity in most Western countries is expected to increase competition," the report said.
