Conservatives to unveil long-delayed religious freedom office next week

OTTAWA - The Harper government is planning to announce its long-awaited Office of Religious Freedom in an event at a Toronto-area mosque next Tuesday.

The announcement ? which the government refuses to discuss ? comes 22 months after the Tories first promised to create a modest, religious freedom branch within the Foreign Affairs Department.

The pledge was unveiled in the Conservative campaign platform during the last federal election, but Foreign Affairs has been unable to find a commissioner to take job.

Human rights groups and opposition critics have said the office is a misguided attempt to inject religion into foreign policy.

They also question what exactly the new office can accomplish with a modest $5 million budget.

However, a spokesman for a major Jewish organization that has been invited to Tuesday's event says the fact that the Harper government is holding it at a mosque shows its commitment to persecuted religious minorities the world over.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Fugitive ex-Los Angeles police officer Christopher Dorner was charged Monday with killing a Riverside police officer. He also is suspected of killing an Irvine couple after declaring a revenge war on law enforcement in an alleged online rant. Here's a look at the victims:

MONICA QUAN

Monica Quan, 28, and her fiance, Keith Lawrence, 27, were found shot in his car in the parking structure of their Irvine condominium complex on Feb. 3.

Quan was in her second year as assistant women's basketball coach at California State University, Fullerton ? the culmination of her love for the game that began when she was a child.

A standout high school basketball player, Quan once dreamed of playing professionally for the Los Angeles Sparks. She had a reputation for being fiery and intense.

Quan met Lawrence while both were playing basketball at Concordia University in Irvine.

After several coaching jobs, she joined Fullerton, where she was known as "Coach Mo."

"I loved her work ethic. I loved her passion for life," head coach Marcia Foster said.

Quan's father, Randal, was the first Chinese-American captain in the Los Angeles Police Department. Later, as an attorney, he represented Dorner in the officer's failed appeal of his dismissal to a department Board of Rights.

Dorner allegedly posted an online rant naming Quan and others that says: "I never had the opportunity to have a family of my own, I'm terminating yours."

KEITH LAWRENCE

Keith Lawrence loved basketball so much that he would drive miles for a pickup game. But his professional goal was to be a cop.

In August, he was hired as an armed public safety officer at the University of Southern California, where he was praised for his professionalism. Before taking the job, he attended the Ventura County Sheriff's Academy and trained with Oxnard police.

He grew up playing basketball. As a player in high school and at Concordia University, he was known for his calm, no-drama attitude, even after scoring a half-court basket.

Friends told the Orange County Register that Lawrence was flamboyant in other ways; he loved wearing bright colors, such as neon green and yellow, and loudly played every kind of music from hip-hop to country.

He and Quan were such basketball fans that Lawrence even wanted to propose at a Nike store. His younger brother, Chris, talked him out of it.

Days before their deaths, Lawrence instead scattered rose petals on the floor of their Irvine home, got down on a knee and asked for her hand, the Los Angeles Times reported.

MICHAEL CRAIN

Crain, a police officer with the city of Riverside, was mortally wounded on Feb. 7 in an ambush shooting as he sat in a police car at a stoplight.

Crain, 34, leaves his wife, a 4-year-old daughter and a son, 10. They remain under police protection until Dorner is caught.

According to the department, Crain loved attending dance recitals with his daughter, coaching his son's baseball team and restoring his 1970 Chevy Nova.

An acquaintance told the Riverside Press-Enterprise that Crain, a SWAT and field training officer, was always focused on officer safety when answering a call, and always had a plan if something went bad.

But officials said he had no time to react when a car pulled up and rifle fire erupted as Crain and a trainee officer sat in their patrol car during a graveyard shift. The trainee was wounded and is expected to survive.

Crain joined the Riverside police force in 2011 after leaving the Marine Corps, where he served two tours in Kuwait, was promoted to sergeant, and later taught military operations in urban terrain at Camp Pendleton in San Diego County.

Thousands gathered for his funeral Wednesday. A white-gloved honor guard carried his flag-draped coffin inside to the sound of bagpipes.

JEREMIAH MACKAY

MacKay, a San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy, was killed on Feb. 12 after a shootout with Dorner who made his last stand in a cabin in Angelus Oaks.

MacKay, a detective with the department for 15 years, leaves behind a wife, a 7-year-old daughter and a 4-month-old son.

The Associated Press spoke on Feb. 9 with MacKay, who was on his third day of patrol.

"This one, you just never know if the guy's going to pop out or where he's going to pop out," MacKay told an AP reporter. "We're hoping this comes to a close without any more casualties. The best thing would be for him to give up."

MacKay said officers were taking precautions by working in pairs or in larger groups.

"Everyone is here for the safety of everyone," MacKay said, "for the safety of each other, for the safety of you."

MacKay was hit several times during the shootout and was airlifted to the hospital where he died of his injuries.

Deskarma Launches Coffee Who, A Single Use-Case App To Get Enterprise Employees Talking

Deskarma, which originally launched as a knowledge sharing app aimed at professionals but has since pivoted to focus on collaboration in the enterprise, has launched Coffee Who, a single-use web app to get employees talking via face-to-face meetings -- over coffee, of course. It taps into a wider trend, says the London and Melbourne-based company, that will increasingly see enterprises supplement their core IT systems and uber-social networking platforms with "disposable apps for specific uses", much in the same way as apps carve out their niche in the consumer space. That's the bet anyway.

Pilot not to blame for F-22 crash, report finds

The Pentagon's Inspector General said today that the Air Force didn't have the evidence to blame an F-22 Raptor pilot for the crash that took his life after his plane malfunctioned -- a finding that comes months after the pilot's sister said she believed that the Air Force was more interested in protecting a $79 billion program than the lives of its airmen.

The report, published today on the Inspector General's website, was the culmination of a year-long review of the Air Force's investigation into the crash that killed Capt. Jeff Haney while he was on a training mission in Alaska in 2010. The controversial crash, in which Haney's oxygen was cut off completely just prior to impact, was the subject of an ABC News' "Nightline" investigation last May.

WATCH Exclusive: Family Demands Truth in Air Force F-22 Pilot's Death

After investigating the incident for more than a year, the Air Force released its crash report in December 2011 that said that while Haney likely suffered a "sense similar to suffocation" right before he died, he was still to blame for the crash for being too distracted to fly the plane properly.

The new IG report, the result of the first major crash investigation review undertaken by the Inspector General since the mid-1990s, says that the Air Force's conclusions are at times contradictory, incomplete or "not supported by the facts." In response, the Air Force said it convened its own special task force to review its investigation, and the task force found the original conclusions were adequately supported.

The F-22 Raptor is America's single most expensive fighter jet at an estimated $420 million each -- in all a $79 billion-and-counting program that represents part of the Air Force's costly foray into fifth-generation stealth fighters. The jets, which have yet to be sent on a combat mission, for years were plagued with a mysterious oxygen-related problem in which on rare occasions its pilots would report experiencing the symptoms of oxygen deprivation in mid-flight. The Air Force believes it has solved that problem.

'To Them, Jeff Was a Number... But Those Jets Are Worth a Lot of Money'

On Nov. 16, 2010 Haney had just completed a routine training exercise when a malfunction in the plane cut off his oxygen completely. Capt. Haney never made a distress call but took his plane into a dive and, a little over a minute later, crashed into the winter wilderness at faster than the speed of sound.

The Air Force never found the original cause of the malfunction, but in a Statement of Opinion concluded "by clear and convincing evidence, the cause of the mishap was the MP's [mishap pilot's] failure to recognize and initiate a timely dive recovery due to channelized attention, breakdown of visual scan, and unrecognized spatial disorientation."

In an exclusive interview with ABC News in May 2012, Haney's sister Jennifer said she immediately called the Air Force's conclusion into question and believed that, in addition to the original unknown malfunction's role, it seemed obvious her brother had blacked out while trying to save himself. Therefore, she said, he could not have been responsible for the crash.

"I don't agree with [the Air Force]. I think there was a lot more going on inside that cockpit," Jennifer said. "A cover-up? I don't know. But there's something... I'd like to think it's easier to blame Jeff. He's not here to defend himself."

"To them, Jeff was a number, it feels like sometimes. But those jets are worth a lot of money," she said.

Pierre Sprey, an early fighter jet designer and vocal critic of the F-22, said the Air Force's original report on Haney's crash was twisted to shield the aircraft from blame.

"From front to back, they're warping every fact you see in that thing, to make sure they will call it pilot error and not to blame [F-22 manufacturer] Lockheed [Martin] or not to blame the Air Force or the airplane," Sprey told ABC News in May. "Here you have a superb pilot and an airplane that wasn't designed to take care of him. And now they're blaming it on him and he shouldn't have died in the first place? The priorities are hardware first, people second."

In the course of its investigation, ABC News obtained an Air Force-made computer simulation of Haney's crash that shows that in the middle of Haney's oxygen-deprived dive, he doesn't appear to move the controls for approximately 15 seconds. Jennifer said that mysterious long pause in the middle of an emergency, along with the lack of a radio call, is evidence that her brother wasn't awake for at least part of the dive. Steve Ganyard, an ABC News consultant and former U.S. Marine Corps fighter pilot, said that after watching the computer simulation, he too believes Haney was unconscious at least part of the time.

The Pentagon Inspector General appears to agree it's a possibility.

"It is unclear how sudden incapacitation or unconsciousness was determined to be a non-contributory factor by the AIB [Air Force Accident Investigation Board], or why levels of partial incapacitation or impairment were not considered," the report says.

Haney did appear to try to pull out of his dive three seconds before impact -- one second too late to save himself. The Air Force has said that was evidence he was not incapacitated and only disoriented before his death.

The question of Haney's consciousness is listed by the IG as one of five "deficiencies" in the AIB report, others including the uncertainty over the status of Haney's oxygen mask and his possible attempt to turn on an emergency oxygen system.

"The AIB report lacked detailed analysis of several areas," the IG report said.

After the Air Force was informed of the Inspector General's conclusions, the service said it convened a separate task force to review the AIB report. The task force found that while some portions of the AIB could have been written more clearly, the service stands by its original accounting of the cause of the crash.

"That group of experts validated the AIB's conclusions," an Air Force spokesperson told ABC News.

The spokesperson said the service is currently rewriting its crash report to clarify certain points raised by the Inspector General's report.

Last August the plane's primary manufacturer, Lockheed Martin, along with other defense contractors involved in the plane's production, settled a wrongful death lawsuit with Haney's widow, Anna. The suit had contended that the companies knowingly provided the Air Force with a "defective" aircraft and that Capt. Jeff Haney was a casualty of that decision. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
