935P: Julian Angwin, WSJ, why are they collecting our license plate numbers in digital databanks using surveillance cameras?  "During the past five years, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has distributed more than $50 million in federal grants to law-enforcement agencies—ranging from sprawling Los Angeles to little Crisp County, Ga., pop. 23,000—for automated license-plate recognition systems. A 2010 study estimates that more than a third of large U.S. police agencies use automated plate-reading systems.  The information captured is considerable. Through a public-records act request, The Journal obtained two years' worth of plate information from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department in California. From Sept. 10, 2010, to Aug. 27, 2012, the sheriff's cameras captured about 6 million license-plate scans."

In contrast to the rest of Greenland, the wider Narsaq area has a relatively extensive network of traversable dirt and gravel roads, totalling over 120 kilometers and requiring DKK 500,000 annually for service.^[12] The longest stretch of road envelopes the northern end of Tunulliarfik Fjord, and connects the sheep farms of Qassiarsuk with the airport of Narsarsuaq. The roads are generally of poor construction, lacking crossfall for drainage, and using softer sandstone instead of harder granite, creating severe dust problems in the summer. For general transportation all-terrain vehicles are recommended. During winter dog sled routes are important transport links to the surrounding area.

On Saturday, al-Shabaab posted on its Twitter account that it had ceased administrative services in the city. "Last night, after more than 5 years the Islamic administration in Kismayo closed its offices," the group posted.

Residents also reported that al-Shabaab-run radio station Radio Andalus has fallen silent and that fighters had left the town, AFP reported.

The Somali government has said it currently controls the city, while the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) maintains that its forces are still working to fill the vacuum left by al-Shabaab's desertion.
