Security hiked for Egypt oppo after fatwas

CAIRO (AP) — One hardline Muslim cleric on an Egyptian TV station justified sexual assaults on women protesters. Others issued religious edicts saying opposition leaders must be killed. Television screeds by ultraconservative sheiks are raising fears of assassinations here a day after a top anti-Islamist politician was gunned down in Tunisia.
Egyptian security officials on Thursday beefed up security around the homes of Egypt's main opposition politicians, citing the possibility of a Tunisia-type killing after the edicts, or fatwas. The office of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi and his prime minister denounced the edicts and the top prosecutor began an investigation into one of the clerics.
Two well-known ultraconservative clerics sparked an uproar with their edicts several days ago saying Shariah, or Islamic law, required the killing of opposition figures. A third fanned the flames by justifying a string of mob sexual assaults on women protesters in Cairo's Tahrir Square.
"They are going there to get raped," cleric Ahmed Mohammed Abdullah said, depicting them as loose women. He spoke of their curly hair, saying "these are devils named women ... They speak with no femininity, no morals, no fear ... Learn from Muslim women, be Muslims."
On his TV show on the private Al-Umma station Wednesday, Abdullah, also known as Abu Islam, derided opposition statements that attacking women was "a red line" that must not be crossed.
"Does that apply to these naked women?" he said. "Nine out of 10 of them are Crusaders (Christians) and the rest are ... widows with no one to rein them in" to ensure they remain modest.
Sexual assaults on women protesters have spiked in Egypt's wave of unrest since late January, with at least 19 reported on Jan. 25 alone. In many cases, mobs stripped women, penetrating them with knives and other objects, according to rights groups.
The TV screeds by the clerics reflect the fury with which some ultraconservatives have reacted to nationwide protests against Morsi, which turned into deadly clashes as police cracked down on the demonstrators.
Aides to Morsi and Muslim Brotherhood officials have depicted the protesters as thugs and criminals and have accused opposition politicians of condoning or even fueling violence in an attempt to undermine Morsi.
The hardline clerics took up that same rhetoric, but went further and declared that protesters and opposition leaders must face punishments under Islamic law for those who cause chaos or try to overthrow the ruler, including death, crucifixion or amputations of limbs.
Their edicts took on a new light after Tunisian opposition leader Chokri Belaid, a sharp secular critic of that country's Islamist-led government, was gunned down outside his home Wednesday.
Belaid's assassination "sounds danger alarms from Tunisia to Cairo, and warns of the cancerous growth of terrorist groups cloaked by religion and carrying out a plot to liquidate the opposition morally and physically," Egypt's main opposition coalition, the National Salvation Front, said in a statement.
A day earlier, the Front's leader Mohamed ElBaradei denounced what he called the government's silence "as another fatwa gives license to kill opposition in the name of Islam."
On Thursday, Morsi's office said in a statement that it "stresses its full rejection of hate speech cloaked by religion" and called on all national, religious and intellectual leaders "to stand as one line against unacceptable inciteful language."
Prime Minister Hesham Kandil warned that such edicts could lead to "sedition and disturbance" and said they "are not related to Islam."
Interior Ministry spokesman Gen. Hani Abdel Latif said security authorities will increase patrols in residential areas where opposition leaders live in. He told the website of the state Al-Ahram newspaper that security officials have "put into consideration" the assassination of the Tunisia's Belaid.
A security official said ElBaradei's home and several other leaders' homes will be put under observation for their protection. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
Egyptians saw a series of assassinations of top statesmen and writers after religious edicts were issued against them back in 1990s during a bloody Islamic extremist insurgency.
Islamists have accused the opposition of trying to now overthrow Morsi, the country's first freely elected president, by stirring up violence in the streets. Protests against Morsi turned to clashes in many places, and demonstrators have cut off roads and held strikes outside government buildings. Dozens were killed in police crackdowns on protesters. Last Friday, protests outside Morsi's presidential palace turned into riots as police rained tear gas and fired birdshots at demonstrators throwing stones and firebombs, and then set fire to protesters' tents.
In further unrest, workers striking over a contract dispute shut down Egypt's key Red Sea port of Ain Sukhna for a seventh day, leading four ships to cancel plans to dock there on Thursday, state news agency MENA reported.
During a recent talk show on the popular Salafi TV channel, Al-Hafez, cleric Mahmoud Shaaban said the leaders of the National Salvation Front are "setting Egypt on fire to gain power."
"The verdict against them under God's law is death," he said.
He mentioned ElBaradei and another Front leader, Hamdeen Sabahi, saying "they have repeatedly spoken about toppling Morsi." Later in the program, he clarified that the government should carry out the verdict, not private citizens.
Separately, another hardline cleric Wagdi Ghoneim issued a video statement pleading with Morsi to crack down heavily on those outside his palace. "The verdict under Shariah for those who seek corruption on earth is to be fought, or crucified, or have their arms or legs cut off or be exiled from earth," he said.
"Strike with an iron fist. Otherwise, the country will be lost at your hand and they'll say it is your fault. They'll say Islam doesn't know how to rule and that it's the Islamists who wrecked the country," he said. He said that if Morsi's government doesn't act, private citizens will.
"We will kill the criminals, the thugs, the thieves and those who give them money and those who help them with words. No mercy with them," Ghoneim shouted.
Top prosecutor Talaat Ibrahim on Thursday ordered an investigation into Shaaban for his fatwa.
In another development, one of deposed leader Hosni Mubarak's most trusted men has been released from prison pending further investigation into corruption charges, according to a security official.
Safwat el-Sherif, the country's former parliament speaker, has walked out of Torah prison in southern Cairo district, late Thursday, the official says. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
El-Sherif, who served also as information minister for two decades and headed the former ruling National Democratic Party, spent nearly 18 months in prison. He was one of Mubarak's strongmen.
El-Sherif is among a long list of other former Mubarak associates — businessmen, ministers and others — who were tried and face trial over alleged corruption.
Popular complaints of endemic graft in government circles were behind 2011 uprising that toppled Mubarak.

Not only has the GOP lost the support of female, black, Latino and Asian voters, they've also lost the support of those concerned about the diversity of the natural world, and how that diversity will be impacted by climate change ("What went wrong," Nov. 8).
Wouldn't it be something if House Speaker John Boehner, who indicated that he understood the risks of climate change in 2008 only to backtrack under tea party pressure, announced that he also understood the lessons of Hurricane Sandy and would now work in a bipartisan fashion to craft legislation that would limit carbon emissions?

Senators warn of 'burdensome' rules
Senate Republicans sought to drill a few messages into the head of the White House's incoming regulatory czar Wednesday: Beware of "unintended consequences" and "burdensome" rules that hurt the economy.
Those messages were delivered at the nomination hearing for Howard Shelanski, President Barack Obama's pick to lead the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, a position that is little known outside Washington but that plays a major role as a gatekeeper of new regulations.
Story Continued Below
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) used the hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to swipe at the Environmental Protection Agency over new ozone proposals, and he urged Shelanski to keep new regulations in check. He also suggested that ever-tighter pollution standards were proposed in part because regulators had little else to do.
"These regulations are well-intended. I think all of government is well-intended. But as we continue to throw more and more government at problems, you do reach that point of diminishing returns," Johnson said.
"I'll throw one out there: ozone regulations," he said. "We get it down to 75 parts [per billion] — I guess there must be an office of ozone regulation at EPA — and they must be sitting around their office going, 'Well, now what do we do?' I'm afraid the reaction is, 'Let's knock it down to 65 parts per [billion].'"
The White House delayed EPA's ozone rules in 2011, but the agency is expected to propose whether to tighten the standard by the end of this year.
The hearing came a day after White House environment and energy adviser Heather Zichal said Obama would turn to executive actions — including EPA regulations — in a new effort to combat climate change.
"In the coming weeks and months, you can expect to hear more from the president on this issue, as well as on the agenda," Zichal said at an environmental forum on Tuesday.
Shelanski was nominated in April to replace Obama's regulatory enforcer and University of Chicago friend Cass Sunstein, who left the position last August. OIRA falls under the White House Office of Management and Budget, a key agency in the review of environmental and energy regulations.
Rules at agencies like EPA and Treasury go through OIRA, but independent government entities like the Nuclear Regulatory Commission aren't subject to White House approval.
Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, the top Republican on the Homeland Security panel, used Wednesday's hearing to rip into EPA's renewable fuels standard, which requires refineries to use ever-increasing amounts of ethanol or buy renewable fuel credits.
"We're going to see … two refineries in Oklahoma close within a year, year-and-a-half, because they cannot afford to buy the renewable fuel credits," Coburn said.
That problem could be fixed with "one adjustment" to the standard, Coburn said, which would alleviate his concern about the rising price of the credits without ending the ethanol mandate.
Still, he was careful to direct his frustration at EPA rather than Shelanski, whom he described as "an excellent candidate."
Shelanski sought to mollify Coburn, giving a brief response about OIRA's responsibility to consider alternative regulatory approaches and cost-benefit analyses.

Science journalism: Enter the non-profits
This weekend we're running a session at the 2012 Science Online London conference with colleagues from Cancer Research UK. Our title is deliberately provocative:
'Can multimedia content created by organisations replace traditional science journalism?'
But it's not entirely without basis. Here's why.
The digital revolution has transformed the environment in which we communicate. For one, the way people access information is changing. A recent study by the Pew Research Center found that more Americans are turning to the Internet in general as their primary source of news – 40 per cent, as opposed to 20 per cent who rely on newspapers. Interestingly, more than a quarter of those surveyed receive news via a mobile device (its been reported that, in the UK, 1 in 3 adults uses a smartphone and just under half of the UK population now owns one (BBC, Guardian). More people are reading the news online and advertisers are spending more money on Internet advertising than ever before. And of course social media use is on the rise – Facebook alone has over 901 million active users globally (around 54 per cent of the world's online population (Mashable, ZDNet).
This is having a profound effect on media publishers, already feeling the squeeze with print readerships shrinking and advertising revenues dropping as a result of the economic downturn.
But it's also reducing the costs of distributing content, and it's this that is blurring the boundaries between traditional media and "source" organisations like us.
Through websites, blogs, podcasts, online video and social media, audiences are increasingly choose their own information sources. This has provided the opportunity for research institutions like Cancer Research UK and the Wellcome Trust to reach large audiences directly.
Importantly, we are now able to do so using the same channels, opportunities and, crucially, authority that was once the preserve of the "traditional media". Indeed, informal research on the Wellcome Trust's part indicates that there is great trust in stories from charities and non-profits as experts in their field, over perceived 'sensationalist' coverage in the mainstream press.
We are grasping this opportunity with both hands. Cancer Research UK's award-winning Science Update blog is one of the leading examples of in-depth coverage of cancer stories, sometimes analytical, sometimes investigative, sometimes commentary. We at the Wellcome Trust started our own blog as a way of telling the many biomedical stories we come across that weren't necessarily 'newsworthy' for the mainstream media (or indeed our own press releases) and, with the facility for comments, to discuss them in a more informal, discursive way than the 'broadcast' nature of traditional media. Both our organisations also create our own original, high-quality videos, podcasts and infographics to tell these stories different ways. Other institutions, from funders like the British Heart Foundation to universities like Imperial College London, are doing the same.
We at the Trust are lucky in being free of government influence and independently financed, which means that we can put resources into the types of journalism that newspapers and magazines are finding it difficult to finance in tough times. To this end, we're currently planning a new online publication focusing on in-depth, explanatory features. We're hoping it will fill the gap left by traditional science journalism, which is increasingly focusing purely on news and investigative (that is, uncovering scandal) pieces rather than valuable explainers or longer works that require more time and resources than newsrooms can spare. Indeed, journalism non-profits like ProPublica already exist to support financially and editorially these neglected types of journalism (usually investigative). A recent article in the Nieman Journalism Lab highlighted this:
In a world where magazine editors are increasingly unwilling to invest in a big, intriguing story before it's finished, long-form journalists are often turning to non-profits to finance their reporting. Non-profits are the "lifeboats"…. They keep important stories afloat until they're close enough to publication that editors will take them on.
Despite our provocative session title, it would be silly to suggest that our efforts could ever replace mainstream media completely. We wouldn't try and replicate the already good science news coverage of the UK press for one thing. And there is a fine line between communication and marketing/PR, even for charities – as a colleague of mine has argued, even if it's not PR for the Wellcome Trust, it's still PR for science.
But we do think that non-profits like ourselves can help fill the void left by the contraction of traditional science journalism, and complement it.
What do you think? Take our poll and add your thoughts in the comments below. If you're attending Science Online London this weekend, come along to our session. You can also follow the whole session on Twitter on the hashtag #Solo12newmedia
Session details
Will multimedia content created by organisations replace traditional science journalism?

Mark Reidy permalink9 Nov, 2012 1:14 pm
To expand on my 'no' answer – the use of multimedia needs to be in addition to the more in-depth science journalism.

UPDATE: DU's Baxter questionable for NCAA Tournament opener
No real new news on DU senior attackman and captain Todd Baxter, who today had X-rays on his right ankle and an MRI on his right knee. The school is only saying that Baxter is questionable for Sunday's NCAA Tournament opener against Villanova (11-4) at Peter Barton Stadium.
UPDATE: On Twitter this morning, Baxter wrote: "partially torn MCL and high ankle sprain, much pain but ice and rest could keep me in the lineup next week if not this coming weekend."
That's obviously good news for the Pios (13-2).
I'll be at practice Wednesday and update.

First dates are a tricky thing. You want to come across as cool, worldly, sophisticated, etc. Yet these things must be suggested, not explained. One attempts to project a subtle evocation of suave inner character underneath a veneer of good looks and impeccable cologne. A lot of this has to do with how good of a liar you are, but you can put some significant mileage towards that goal if you take your date to the right location.
For me, a kid who never had two dimes to rub together and only ever owned really cheap cologne, this has always been Café Gitane. An unassumingly cool restaurant down in Soho, Gitane blends together French Cuisine with Moroccan spices to scintillatingly simple effect. Throughout college and in the few years since, whenever I needed a good, relatively affordable spot to take a prospective lady friend, this was my go-to. The décor reminds its patrons of one of those cozy little French cafes they had seen in postcards.
Café Gitane allowed me to casually reminisce on my time spent abroad and that movie where Marion Cotillard puts on all the old lady makeup (see, I told you I was worldly). In particular, the Organic Roasted Chicken sandwich on a crispy, French roll with spicy Chipotle sauce perfectly embodied the exciting combination of the cuisines.
Along with the trendy little boutique shops lining the street next to the white and blue umbrella tables in front, you may actually forget that you're in Manhattan. And for a broke college student who definitely couldn't afford to take his date to Paris, that was just fine for me.

Uninstalling Puppy Linux
How do I uninstall Puppy Linux and go back to XP?
I have the Windows XP CD and disks and stuff.
When I tried the system recovery disk, it said
"Failed to create user paritition."
Any help?

If you did a type 2 installation and allowed Puppy to take over your entire hard drive, which it sounds like, then you need to partition the hard drive, so Windows can see it again. Windows can't see Linux partitions and thinks that you have no hard drive space to partition.
If you know what hard drive is in the system, you can download a utility to format the drive from the manufacturer. Most have a utility that can be run from two floppy disks. Of course, this assumes that you have another computer to download the utility.
You can get a Windows boot disk and use fdisk to format the drive.
You should be able to use the Linux fdisk utility to do the same.
Also, Knoppix and Mepis have a utility called qtparted that can do the job.
When you say a recovery disk, is this a Dell or Gateway system?
PartitionMagic recovery disks can also do this for you.
Let us know what your situation is.
I love it when a plan comes together

Which boot disk should I use?
I tried this before in MEPIS, and it still gave me the "Failed to create user parition".
Would it matter if the OLD Hard-drive had windows XP on it, and then I had to exchange it out for an older one that had windows 98 (this one's in my PC right now) but i formatted it and put puppy linux, because whenever I tried to run XP system recovery disks for some reason it partitioned the drive as a windows 95 FAT13 (or something like that) parition.
For some reason though, it keeps on saying "Failed to create user parition"
And I want my windows back so bad =(

I should have clarified, that qtparted is not the best. It is not without problems. It also does not handle NTFS well at all.
The easiest thing to do is to format it as fat32, then let the windows XP disk do the work.
Sometimes the drive gets corrupted using too many utilities, so that it seems unrecoverable.
I have found, if you know what drive make that you have, the manufacturer's utility will do the job well. They often will also ask what OS you will be installing, to set up the drive "ready" for windows whatever.
I just had to wipe my secondary drive, as a SuSE caused the drive to be unreadable by PartitionMagic. There were some issues with some distros drive partitioning tools making valid ext2 or ext3 partitons next to NTFS volumes. This has been fixed. Yes, it had to do with kernel 2.6!

Boot your XP disk up and do a new install, when it comes to the partition section delete and create the partitions you require.
Format the win partition as NTFS if you want security and finish the install.

It seems to skip all of that and go straight to "Finizling the partition" and then comes up with an error.

Try running "fixmbr" from the XP installation disc. That saved my bacon once.
If I remember right, it overwrote the MBR with a standard Windows version.

You could always boot the Puppy live CD 1.0.3 take the no. 2 option and from the command line run fdisk and delete all partitions then reboot XP.

flamesarge, do you have XP on the system now, or is this a fresh installation that you want to do? It sounded to me that you wanted to do a fresh installation of XP and that it was not currently on your system.
In other words, do you just have Puppy on an ext2 partiton (type 2 installation) and it occupies your total hard drive, or do you have more than one partition on the drive (Puppy gave you more than one option of a partiton to install to)?
If you have XP already on the system, you can recover the MBR, as suggested, by getting into the recovery console using the XP disk and fix the MBR so Windows will boot. But if this were the case, you can use grub, if it is installed to boot XP without recovering the MBR, with a little manipulation.
If the total drive is occupied by Puppy on a Linux partition, and it is the only drive in the system, XP will freak out. It can't see the partition and thinks there is no available space on the drive to format.
If Puppy occupies everything, XP needs to be installed first, then you can resize the drive to make room for a type 2 install.
If Puppy occupies the entire hard drive, then you can use Ian's suggestion to delete the partition, then try to install XP.
If all this is confusing, then try the utility that your hard drive manufacturer has. The one that you use depends on what make hard drive that you have on the system.
Of course no matter what you do, you need a way to boot Puppy. The easiest thing to do, would be to wipe the partiton, install XP, then make room for Puppy and do a Puppy installation.
Perhaps someone has a better way to do this. Clarify exactly what your situation is and then everyone can suggest a logical solution.

Ok, I have MEPIS linux on my OLD HARD DRIVE (A,let's call it.) A was in my computer origionally, but then it some how got coruppted and or died.
Then I just recently replaced it with Harddrive B, B had windows 98 on it, and I wanted to install Windows XP on HD B.
But when i put in the disk it kept on coming up with 'failed to create user partition'.
And for some reason it kept on creating a windows 95 partition.
It's still doing this even after puppy is installed.

It appears that your problem is unrelated to Puppy so the best advice I can give you is to scrap everything and start from scratch.
If you have the 1.0.3 live Puppy CD boot it up taking the no 2 option and then using fdisk or cfdisk delete all partitions.
Alternatively you could use a Windows startup floppy and using fdisk delete all partitions.
Boot from your XP disk, create two partitions and format the first one as NTFS.
Install XP to the first partition.
Boot Puppy with the 2 option and using fdisk rename the second partition as 83 a Linux native partition. Exit fdisk and use the mkfs command format the second partition as ext2 then using the install wizard install Puppy.
You can either use the boot floppy, install Grub or make a Grub boot CD to boot both Puppy and Windows.
There is also the distinct possibility that your hard drive has damaged sectors.

If you get the make and model of the harddrive and go to the manufacturers website, there is usually some downloadable utilities for remapping the hard drive, flagging bad sectors, fixing problems and re-initialising the disk with a low level format.
If the HD is dying then it will only fend off the inevitable, but it's certainly worth a try
<<Edit : just noticed that someone has already mentioned doing this - sorry for the repetition. Did anyone mention swapping the connecting ribbon cable over? sometimes an unreliable hard disk is a result of poor data transfer and a new cable sorts it out. >>

Monkey business
OAKLAND — Frank Thomas came out of the A's clubhouse and onto the field here at McAfee Coliseum today and was greeted by a singing, dancing gorilla, who showered the Big Hurt with confetti and left him with the words: "Don't get mad, get even."
The gorilla was courtest of Thomas' wife and kids in honor of his 40th birthday. Just the Jays luck that they'd land in Oakland for the big Thomas-Toronto reunion on his big day, huh. "Hopefully, he doesn't have a flair for the dramatic," Jays manager John Gibbons quipped.
You can read all about Thomas' words of wisdom on bluejays.com in a bit. The news of the day is: David Eckstein is off the DL, Hector Luna is back in Triple-A, and Gibby intends on keeping Marco Scutaro in the lineup somehow, some way. Today, Scoot was in left field. Eck will probably have some days off in the early goings, giving Marco some more starts there.
Saw the new Indiana Jones at the Drive-in theater in downtown Toronto on Sunday night and I'd say it ranks third among the four — behind Raiders/Last Crusade and ahead of Temple. Watched Charlie Wilson's War on the plan and was pleasantly surprised. Saw Iron Man in SF last night and thoroughly enjoyed it, though I was more pumped after seeing the newest trailor for The Dark Knight.
Back to baseball…

Jordan, I just saw Indiana Jones too the other day. I'd have to agree with you when you say it isn't the best one that they made. I mean it was a good movie and all, but I wasn't too big on the whole alien thing.
There's a new trailor for the Dark Knight? The first one has had me anticipating that movie for months…
I was on the fence about watching Iron Man but enough people have told me that it's worth watching, so I think I might check it out after all.
I just saw the thing. It looks like it'll be a fantastic movie. It's hard to wait.

A federal judge in Los Angeles tentatively decided Thursday to reverse a jury's verdicts and acquit a Missouri woman who had been convicted of computer fraud charges stemming from an Internet hoax that prompted a teenage girl to commit suicide.
Lori Drew, 50, was convicted in November of three misdemeanor counts of illegally accessing a protected computer. The charges stemmed from the "cyberbullying" death of 13-year-old Megan Meier, who committed suicide after being "dumped" on MySpace by a fictitious boy Drew helped create.
"I wouldn't want to be in Lori Drew's shoes and live her life," said Tina Meier, Megan's mother, after the hearing. "I'm extremely upset at the decision."
U.S. District Judge George H. Wu said prosecutors' use of a federal anti-computer hacking statute against Drew was selective and "unconstitutionally vague." His decision will not become final until he issues a written ruling, which could come as early as next week.
Despite the ruling, U.S. Attorney Thomas P. O'Brien said he stands by the decision to prosecute the case.
"I'm proud of this case that sought justice for a 13-year-old little girl," O'Brien said outside court.
"It was a risk," he said. "This particular law has not been applied in this way before. We call it cyberbullying, but we don't have a law to address it."
Drew was not charged with causing Meier's death. Instead, prosecutors indicted her under the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which is usually used in hacking and trademark theft cases. In convicting Drew, jurors rejected felony charges that she used a computer to intentionally inflict emotional harm to the girl.
Dean Steward, Drew's attorney, argued throughout the case that the law should never have been used against his client.
Wu apparently agreed, saying Thursday that if Drew is guilty of illegally accessing computers, anyone who has ever violated the social networking site's terms of service agreement would be equally guilty of a misdemeanor.
"Who decides what is a violation of terms of service -- the government or MySpace?" Wu asked prosecutors. "You could prosecute pretty much anyone who violated terms of service."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Krause told Wu the question raised "an irrelevant fact."
Drew, who was joined in court by her father, had no comment after the hearing.
But her attorney characterized Wu's preliminary decision as "not the end of the road."
"It's the end of the chapter on the criminal side, which is pretty clearly the end," Steward said.
A federal jury convicted Drew of the three misdemeanor charges but deadlocked on a felony conspiracy charge that would have carried a sentence of up to 20 years in prison. Prosecutors today requested that Wu dismiss the deadlocked count, leaving the possibility that Drew could be retried on that charge in the future.
O'Brien said he would wait for Wu's final order before deciding whether to appeal the acquittal to the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals within 30 days of the ruling. He also left open the possibility of refiling the conspiracy count at some point.
Drew was charged after the 2006 suicide of Meier, an on-and-off pal of the woman's daughter. At the time, the family lived four doors down the street from the Meiers in Dardenne Prairie, Mo.
The girl, who was being treated for depression, hanged herself at home after reading a MySpace posting from "Josh Evans," a fake persona invented by Drew and two unindicted co-conspirators. The message told the girl the world would be better off without her, according to prosecutors.
Drew's attorney said at trial that Drew never knew the teen had a history of depression. But Tina Meier testified that she had discussed her daughter's depression with Drew before the suicide. Drew did not testify.
The mother said Thursday she had not decided whether to file a wrongful death lawsuit against Drew.
"Nothing we ever do will bring Megan back," Tina Meier said.
Although the charged actions in the case took place in Missouri, the trial was set in Los Angeles because MySpace's servers are located in Beverly Hills.

Moore and Rodriguez were selected based on their performances from March 18 – 24 and were chosen out of a pool of conference/independent/unaffiliated groupings.
Moore, a native of Los Angeles, Calif., led Georgetown to four wins last week, including a double-header sweep of defending national champion Tennessee Wesleyan. The junior outfielder hit .533 (8-for-15) with two doubles, two triples, six RBI, six runs scored, five walks and a stolen base.
Moore, who recorded three multi-hit games, including a 3-for-4, two RBI effort in the Tiger's 5-4 game-one victory against Tennessee Wesleyan on March 19. In game two, Moore added another two hits, including an RBI double in the top of the second to spark a four-run inning for Georgetown. He continued his hot week with two hits, two runs and three walks in game one of a three game series against Cumberlands (Ky.) on March 22. Moore followed that with an RBI triple and run scored against the Patriots one day later.
On the season, Moore is fifth on the team with a .282 batting average.
Rodriguez, a left-handed pitcher from Valencia, Venezuela, picked up his second win of the season in dynamic fashion with a 5-0 complete game no-hitter against Lindenwood-Belleville (Ill.) on March 22.

JEFFERSON has clinched a state tournament berth, but first, some unfinished business.
The Dragons (16-14) will play for the 8-AA title Thursday at Union County as they seek their first region banner since 2008. Click here for photos.
"First of all, we would really like to win a region title," Jefferson coach Melissa Mullis said. "That would be our first goal."
The winner will receive the no. 1 seed in the state tournament. The runner-up gets the no. 2 seed. Either way, Jefferson receives home field advantage through the fist two rounds of state.
"I don't think we could have a better set-up," Mullis said.
These teams know each other well with this being the fourth matchup this season between the schools. Union County has taken two of the first three. All have been close.
The teams played an Aug. 28 game on Union County's mountainous home turf in Blairsville — the site of this Thursday's title game. The Dragons lost 3-2.
Jefferson had to play that game after a two-hour bus ride. This time, the Dragons will depart early, spend the day in Blairsville and acclimate themselves.
"We're hoping to put ourselves in a better position," Mullis said.
The coach expects another nail-biter, one in which the smallest hit or error may loom large.
"It's going to be a fast-paced game," Mullis said. "It's going to be a well-played game. It's going to come down to someone making an error, someone getting a hit or someone missing a signal."
Regardless of how Thursday's matchup goes, Jefferson is going back to the state tournament for the first time since 2008. The Dragons made sure of that by sweeping Social Circle Saturday in the second round of the Region 8-AA tournament with a pair of shutouts. The Dragons won the opener 8-0. It took game two 7-0 to clinch a trip to state.
"They did a great job," Mullis said. "It was a lot of fun. They came out aggressively … I'm hoping for the same intensity on Thursday."
Jefferson has won 12 of its last 16 games, which bodes will for the Dragons heading into the championship.
"I believe we're peaking at the right time," Mullis said.
Morgan McKinney threw a two-hit shutout in game one Saturday, striking out six.
Offensively, Jefferson took a 3-0 lead in the first inning and never looked back. The Dragons added an insurance run in the second inning and four more in the fourth to blow the game open.
Meagan Faulkner led Jefferson at the plate, going 3-for-3 with a double, three RBIs and two runs. Ashley Boyd was 2-for-3 with two doubles and two RBIs.
McKinney also had a hit and RBI. Others chipping in offensively were Lindsey Miles (2-for-2, two runs), Emily Dufty (1-for-2), Cason Anderson (1-for-3) and Savannah Snapp (1-for-3).
In the second game, Boyd went 2-for-3 with a double and two more RBIs. Erin Jackson enjoyed a 3-for-4 game with an RBI. Miles also drove home a run and went 1-for-3. Others with hits were Miles (1-for-3), Dufty (1-for-4), Faulkner (1-for-4, run), Emily Holman (1-for-1, run), Cason Anderson (1-for-4, run) and Snapp (3-for-4, double, run).
Jefferson scored a pair of runs in the second inning, added a score each in the fourth and fifth innings and plated three more in the sixth inning to put the game away.
McKinney and Holman combined for a two-hit shutout. McKinney earned the win and Holman was credited with the save. McKinney struck out six batters and Holman fanned one.
McKinney ended up throwing 10 innings Saturday and surrendering just two hits, continuing a dominant stretch for the Dragon ace.
"She did an excellent job," Mullis said.
Now, the Dragons need just one more win to bring home their first trophy in four years. While the state tournament looms large later this month, Jefferson is locked in on an opportunity to become a champion Thursday.
"I feel like we're ready … There's no reason we can't do it," Mullis said.

Yes Id say its the players weve bought rather than the type. I dont think wed get Firmino, Salah, Mane (the same way they didnt get Willian, Sanchez etc). If were moving down a level from that type of player were signing either worse players from those league or players from worse leagues which are more risky. But weve signed a good number of players 24 and under.
Hes not going to replace Schneiderlein, hes a box-to-box player (as Sam said in his presser). Hell play instead of Davies and hell be a massive upgrade.
So if better recruitment isn't the answer what is, because we won't have the money to compete, and we don't have a manager who is a tactical genius or a coaching genius?7th ever more.
It's looking more and more that way. Unless we really do start with a new blueprint and try and build what Atletico clearly set out to build, or a Sevilla. With a board, a DoF, a manager and staff who are all working towards one vision, a vision which doesn't change if a manager goes or a star striker, as the next one has already been identified on a shortlist prior to such an event. We always seem to be firefighting and when our managers change it's always one extreme to the next. From a Martinez to a Koeman to an Allardyce, all with different ideas and all requiring different things from their players, or different players. Or maybe the above just isn't really feasible. Who knows.
I wouldnt say Allardyce is miles away from Koeman in approach. Weve only had the DoF approach for two managers in that Moyes / RM were do it all managers so Id say this transition is relatively consistent. Eg theyd both want big(ish) strikers who people can play off.
We do have the option to hire a better director of football and manager.With the right people in charge, there's no reason why we can't challenge the top 6 and contend for the Europa League and domestic cups.
I completely agree, I think moshiri just wanted to go down this route and I don't know how much due diligence was done on ensuring we got the right people in as opposed to the right name. It's not easy and I don't know who or what is the answer? I'm actually intrigued to see how Barnsley get on as their owners have a clear vision to success and are doing well at Nice, vision is what we lack imo
I'd love us to go moneyball one day.

WAYNE, N.J., April 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Bayer HealthCare announced today that the New Drug Application (NDA) for its oral investigational compound riociguat has been accepted for filing and granted priority review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) or with persistent or recurrent CTEPH after pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).
Both CTEPH and PAH are life-threatening diseases. CTEPH is a form of pulmonary hypertension in which blood clots and thromboembolic occlusion of pulmonary vessels leads to increased pressure in the pulmonary arteries. PAH is a disease characterized by elevated pressure in the pulmonary arteries.
"We are pleased that the FDA has granted priority review of the riociguat NDA for two distinct forms of pulmonary hypertension," said Pamela A. Cyrus , MD, Vice President and Head of U.S. Medical Affairs, Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals. "This milestone reinforces our commitment to advancing treatment options for cardio-pulmonary diseases, and brings us one step closer to potentially providing the first pharmacological treatment for inoperable or persistent/recurrent CTEPH and a new treatment option for PAH."
The FDA grants priority review to medicines that provide a treatment where little or no adequate therapy exists. Under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), the FDA aims to complete its review within six months of the 60-day filing receipt of the NDA submission (eight months total), rather than the standard 12-month review cycle.
The NDA submission is supported by data from two global Phase III studies of riociguat CHEST-1 and PATENT-1. Data from these two studies were presented in October 2012 at CHEST, the annual meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP). Both Phase III studies on riociguat met their primary endpoint.
About CHEST
CHEST (Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension sGC-Stimulator Trial) is a Phase III trial to assess the efficacy and safety of oral riociguat in the treatment of patients with either inoperable CTEPH or CTEPH which has persisted or reoccurred after pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA). CHEST is a multi-center, multi-national program with active centers in 26 countries. The program includes a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial phase (CHEST-1) and an open label extension trial phase (CHEST-2).
In the CHEST-1 study, 261 patients with inoperable CTEPH or with persistent or recurrent CTEPH after PEA were randomized and treated with either riociguat or placebo orally for
16 weeks. The primary endpoint of the trial was improvement in 6-minute walking distance. Riociguat was titrated, over a period of eight weeks in doses of 0.5 mg increments, from 1.0 mg up to 2.5 mg, three times a day. After the titration phase, patients were followed up for another eight weeks on their last dose to complete CHEST-1. Patients from both arms then had the option of participating in the open label extension study (CHEST-2) after completing an eight-week blinded sham titration. CHEST-2 is continuing to investigate riociguat in CTEPH patients.
About PATENT
PATENT (Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension sGC-Stimulator Trial) is a Phase III trial to assess oral riociguat in the treatment of treatment naive patient and pre-treated patients with symptomatic PAH. PATENT is a multi-center, multi-national program with active centers in
32 countries. The program includes a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial phase (PATENT-1) and an open label extension trial phase (PATENT-2).
In the PATENT-1 study, 445 patients with symptomatic PAH were randomized to receive either placebo or two different doses of riociguat orally over a period of 12 weeks. The primary endpoint of the trial was improvement in 6-minute walking distance. The riociguat dose was titrated, over a period of eight weeks in doses of 0.5 mg increments from 1.0 mg up to 2.5 mg three times daily. Patients were then followed for an additional four weeks to complete the study. Patients then had the option of participating in the open label extension study, after completing an eight-week blinded sham titration.
About Riociguat
Riociguat (BAY 63-2521), discovered and developed at the Bayer research laboratories, is an investigational oral soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator that is being studied in CTEPH and PAH, as well as other forms of pulmonary hypertension. Riociguat is an investigational agent and is not approved by the FDA, EMA or other health authorities.

Having helped thousands of people reconnect to the Souls they love and miss the most, you will be assured it is possible to turn grief into healing and heartache into hope as you witness the validations received in this group setting.
Mollie is truly an amazing medium. She connected me with my father and my daughter. She knew things that only immediate family could have known, like my daughter putting lotion on my legs. I have lived with immense pain, guilt and regret for the last 10 years. My daughter assured me that she was happy, that she was with my dad and that everything is ok. Mollie's gift has allowed me to live again, smile again and know that one day, " we will be able to pick up where we left off" !!

The evening will be a wonderful opportunity for friends to enjoy the miracle of Spirit communication in an intimate group session. She'll be sharing stories of after-life communications and signs of hope. Mollie is well known for her delivery of compassionate and loving evidence connecting to the afterlife. If you enjoy watching the TV medium shows like "Long Island Medium" and John Edward's "Crossing Over" you will absolutely LOVE this event! This is a small group, limited to only 125 attendees, so you will have a much better chance of receiving a personal connection than at a large celebrity event.
Mollie will be lecturing about how mediumship takes place and bringing messages from loved ones in Spirit for random members of the audience. No one is guaranteed a personal message. You may not receive a message but witnessing other's connections and experiencing the miracle of after life communication will leave you uplifted and with renewed hope.
Tickets must be reserved in advance
due to limited seating.
I can't say enough praise for how amazing Mollie is!!! I attended a group reading session in Green Bay, WI and she delivered SO many messages from loved ones to those of us left behind. Everything she brought forth was right on...including names. She delivered WAY better than all the big name mediums we've all watched on TV. If you are looking for someone true and ready to bring you a message..don't hesitate to contact Mollie! She brought me signs from my husband that she couldn't have made up!

I attended a gathering in NH with Mollie this past fall. I was not familiar with Mollie but something drew me in. I was truly amazed! Her energy is light and caring. She is sensitive and blessed with a profound ability to communicate with those that have "crossed over". Mollie's connections brought heartfelt peace and love, not only to the recipients of communication from their loved ones, but to everyone in attendance. Mollie brings light into the dark void of loss left in our hearts.

The coproduction project Remowe (Regional Mobilizing of Sustainable Waste-to-Energy Production, during December 2009 to December 2012) aimed to contribute to a reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by catalysing utilisation of waste from cities, farming and industry for energy purposes (electricity, heat, fuels) in an efficient way in the Baltic Sea region.
Project partners from Sweden, Finland, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia and Germany represent both far developed regions in the field as well as regions in which the level of energy utilisation of waste is currently low. E.g. Germany possesses valuable experiences of producing biogas which were shared and transferred through the project to other regions.
Remowe produced a diverse collection of publications which are available from the Downloads section.

Next steps towards a deep and genuine Economic and Monetary Union20 March 2013
by eub2 -- last modified 21 March 2013
The European Commission has presented two new Communications on the next steps towards a deep and genuine Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). The aim is to strengthen economic policy coordination and integration in the euro area. The Commission says these Communications follow commitments made in its 'Blueprint for a Deep and Genuine Economic and Monetary Union' last November, and respond to calls from the European Council to take work forward on these two fronts. The Communication on the ex-ante coordination of plans for major economic policy reforms contains options on how to organise EU-level discussions on large-scale economic policy reforms in the Member States before final decisions are taken at national level. The reasoning behind this is to properly take into account any positive or negative spillovers of the reforms on other euro area countries early on in the decision-making process. The Communication on a Convergence and Competitiveness Instrument (CCI) sets out options for two instruments: contractual arrangements for Member States to undertake specific reforms and financial support to help Member States implement these reforms. These two new instruments complement the structures that already exist for the surveillance of budgetary and economic policy at EU level, which have been enhanced through the European Semester, Six Pack and Two Pack reforms.
Ex-ante coordination
What is ex-ante coordination?
Ex-ante coordination implies that plans for the most important economic policy reforms are assessed and discussed at EU level before final decisions are taken at the national level. In this process, the Commission and Council of Ministers can suggest changes to the plans.
Why is the Commission suggesting this?
Major economic reforms in one Member State can cause economic spillover effects on other Member States. Such spillover effects are all the more relevant in an Economic and Monetary Union, as the crisis has underlined. Major economic reforms can produce economic spillover effects on other Member States via trade and competitiveness and via financial markets.
Trade and competitiveness: Product, services and labour market reforms as well as certain tax reforms, might affect employment and growth in the Member State implementing the reforms, and might therefore impact demand for products and services from other Member States. Reforms might also impact positively or negatively on the reforming Member State's price and non-price competitiveness.
Financial markets: reforms that strengthen a Member State's adjustment capacity (labour, product or services market reforms), reforms that strengthen its long-term fiscal sustainability (e.g. reforms of pension and health systems) and reforms that improve its financial sector governance benefit the Member State implementing the reforms. They increase the Member State's ability to withstand external shocks and limit the risk of an increase in interest rates on government bonds. But the absence of such reforms, or weaknesses in their design and implementation, could risk an increase in interest rates, which may spread to other Member States, as shown during the crisis.
Are there any other reasons for ex-ante coordination?
Ex-ante coordination also gives Member States the possibility to learn from each other's economic policies. Benchmarking, mutual learning and the exchange of best practices across the Member States can be beneficial, as already demonstrated in the work of many Committees of the Council of Ministers.
Is this a completely new idea?
The concept of ex-ante coordination of plans for major economic policy reforms was introduced by the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance (TSCG) in the Economic and Monetary Union. Article 11 of the Treaty includes a commitment to discuss ex-ante and, where appropriate, coordinate all plans for major economic policy reforms. According to the Treaty, it would be incorporated into the legal framework of the European Union within maximum five years from the date it actually enters into force. A commitment to discuss major reform plans with potential spillover effects was also underlined in the 2012 Country-Specific Recommendations for the euro area.
Which reforms would be covered by ex-ante coordination?
It would include important reforms in the areas of competitiveness, employment, market functioning, tax systems, financial stability and fiscal sustainability.
Which Member States would ex ante coordination apply to?
While there are potential spillovers between all EU Member States, such effects are magnified in the euro area because of the stronger interdependence between euro area countries. In this regard, the Commission is considering proposing a binding framework for the ex-ante coordination of major economic reform plans of the euro area countries. At the same time, ways should be found to involve other Member States. Member States in a macro-economic adjustment programme would be exempt from the reporting requirements and discussions in the context of ex-ante coordination, as they are already subject to strict reporting requirements and monitoring in the context of their programme, but they may be able to participate on a voluntary basis.
Should the ex-ante exercise focus on large countries, as they cause the biggest spillovers?
The crisis has underlined that economic spillovers can also be caused by smaller countries. All countries – no matter how large or small – should be able to learn from each other and encourage one another to carry out the necessary economic reforms in the interest of stimulating growth, competitiveness and job creation.
What would the ex-ante coordination process look like?
A Member State would provide information on a major economic reform plan in its National Reform Programme (on economic policies for the coming year) or at another time during the year. The Commission would assess the plan and deliver an opinion on it. The Commission's assessment would cover the extent to which the reform tackles the specific policy challenges and how it would improve competitiveness and adjustment capacity. The Commission's assessment would pay particular attention to the impact the reform would have on the functioning of the euro area and possible spillover effects on other Member States. These plans will then be discussed by the Council of Ministers and the Eurogroup. The Commission and the Council can suggest modifications to the national reform plan where they could be justified by the expected effects on other Member States and the functioning of the Economic and Monetary Union.
What if a Member State does not take on board the suggestions of the Commission or the Eurogroup/Council in the context of ex-ante coordination?
The Member State concerned remains fully responsible for the final decision on the reform. The Commission opinions and the outcomes of discussions in the Council of Ministers or the Eurogroup could be taken into account as part of the assessment in the European Semester. Country-Specific Recommendations could be addressed to the Member State in this context.
Will the ex-ante process not become a heavy burden on the Member States?
No. The process will only cover the most important plans for economic policy reforms; these will be limited in number. Where possible, existing reporting, such as through the National Reform Programme, should be used to provide the necessary information.
A Convergence and Competitiveness Instrument (CCI)
What is the purpose of the Convergence and Competitiveness Instrument?
By combining "contractual arrangements" with a solidarity mechanism for national structural reforms, the Convergence and Competitiveness Instrument (CCI) aims to help Member States facing difficulties undertake reforms that are necessary for growth and competitiveness and which contribute to the well-functioning of the Economic and Monetary Union. This would allow Member States under stress to complete the reforms sooner than they would be able to on their own, and contribute to the cost of addressing any potential negative impact of the reforms. This strengthens the social dimension of the Economic and Monetary Union.
Which reforms are covered by the instrument?
The structural reforms to be covered would relate to the Country-Specific Recommendations and should contribute to the well-functioning of EMU as a whole. These are reforms that, for instance, address competitiveness and improve the functioning of labour and product markets. Depending on the specific reforms proposed by the Member State in its contractual arrangement, funding could, for example, support the modernisation of vocational training systems, increase the effectiveness of active labour market policies or strengthen lifelong learning schemes.
Which Member States are covered by the instrument?
The Commission puts forward two options for determining which countries would be covered by the CCI. The first would be to cover all euro area Member States (except those under a macroeconomic adjustment programme). The second would also allow Member States that are not part of the euro area to participate in the CCI, in particular those Member States preparing to join the euro.
When would the instrument be triggered?
The Commission suggests three options: First, it could be voluntary; that is, a Member State could ask for the CCI to be triggered. Second, it could be triggered when a Member State enters the Macroeconomic Imbalances Procedure. Or third, it could be triggered when countries fall under the Excessive Imbalance Procedure. Here, the Corrective Action Plan that Member States draw up under this procedure could replace the contractual arrangement.
Why the increased focus on the euro area?
The interdependence of Member States participating in a single currency increases the importance of sound budgetary and economic policies. Given the high interdependence within the euro area, Member States have an interest in the ambitious and proactive implementation of structural reforms to remove key weaknesses in their economies. On the one hand, the implementation of structural reforms strengthens the economies of the Member States concerned and may have potentially significant spillover effects from one Member State to another. On the other hand, slow or no implementation of important structural reforms exacerbates problems of competitiveness and hampers the adjustment capacity of Member States. Also, convergence towards high levels of adjustment capacity and competitiveness would better protect countries against the impact of economic downturns and avoid the development of harmful macroeconomic imbalances.
How would the contractual arrangement be drawn up?
Each Member State concerned would present a plan for a set of concrete reforms that address their respective Country-Specific Recommendations. These are approved by the Council of Ministers in the context of the European Semester, with corresponding timelines, and should be included in a contractual arrangement. The Member States' plans would be assessed by the Commission, notably on the selection of the proposed measures and the extent to which they address the economic weaknesses which are taken up in the relevant Country-Specific Recommendations. This assessment would particularly focus on the expected impact of the measures and their effectiveness in addressing the specific policy challenge at hand, potential spillover effects on other Member States, as well as the feasibility of implementation, also in the light of the proposed timelines.
Assessing spillover effects does not imply that reforms in one country should not be undertaken because of lack of reforms in other countries. The assessment of the expected impact of the measures would include, where relevant, the impact on the sustainability of public finances and their social impact. On the basis of its assessment, the Commission would embark on negotiations with the Member State concerned and subsequently formulate a proposal to the Council for approving the contractual arrangement. The Council would discuss and endorse the Commission proposal (possibly with amendments), approving the specific actions covered and the agreed deadlines for taking them. Should the Member State and the Commission fail to reach an agreement, or should the Council of Ministers disagree with the arrangement, there would be no contractual arrangement and, subsequently, no financial support.
Who benefits from the financial incentives?
Only those Member States that contribute to the instrument and sign a contract for reform should be able to benefit from it. The financial incentive would support the implementation of the reforms which are covered in the contractual arrangement.
What if a Member State does not respect its contractual arrangement?
Financial support would be conditional on the full and timely implementation of the reforms set out in the arrangement. If, through annual reporting, the Commission considers that a Member State has not fully complied with the arrangement, it can issue a warning, following which financial support could be suspended or, where necessary, recovered. The same would apply if the Commission finds that a Member State has gone back on previously implemented reforms or decides to implement further measures that go against the objectives of the agreed reforms.
How much money are we talking about?
The Commission is of the view that the financing of the instrument could remain limited initially, but could increase over the medium term, provided that it can prove to be effective in promoting the implementation of key structural reforms.
Where will the money come from?
The Commission proposes a new financial instrument as part of the EU budget. Contributions should be included in the EU budget as external assigned revenues. Being financed through assigned revenues, the instrument would not be placed under the ceilings set in the seven- year EU budget (the Multiannual Financial Framework).
In setting up the system for financing the financial solidarity pillar, one possibility is for an instrument to be financed by commitments from each Member State, and could be linked to Gross National Income (GNI). Alternatively, new and specific financing resources could be set up for this instrument.
Are these concrete legislative proposals from the Commission?
No. These are communications with ideas and options from the Commission to feed into the ongoing debate on a deep and genuine Economic and Monetary Union. The Commission is now inviting input from Member States, national and European parliaments and stakeholders. On that basis, it is the Commission's intention to come up with proposals in the course of 2013.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall was temporarily handcuffed earlier this month after a dispute with two taxi drivers about a cab fare.
According to a Broward Sheriff's Office Event Report, on Nov. 14, taxi driver Yenbeve Saint-Remy waved down a deputy at Port Everglades regarding the passenger in his cab.
Saint-Remy told deputies that a dispatcher at Miami Springs Taxi company advised him that the man in his cab, Marshall, had refused to pay his previous fare. Marshall exited the cab and was placed in handcuffs, report said.
Marshall told deputies that he had no idea what was going on with the taxi driver, and that he was just trying to get home, the report said.
Other deputies, who had taken the report from Miami Springs Taxi, were called, and they said they had received a call regarding a man who had refused to pay his cab fare at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
A deputy was told that Marshall told the taxi driver to let him out to use the bathroom in order to avoid paying $142 dollars,and he then walked out an exit and then entered another taxi, the report said.
Marshall told deputies that he was at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach and took the cab from there to his home in Southwest Ranches, the report said. But Marshall said that when he awoke, he was at the airport.
Marshall said he told the driver that he was supposed to take him home and not the airport, the report said.
Marshall also said the driver was hard to understand because of the accent, and instead of arguing, he just walked away.
The second taxi driver, Peterson Pierre, was interviewed by deputies as well. Pierre said he just wanted his $142 fair to be paid.
Marshall agreed to pay both men, and they said they were satisfied and didn't want to further pursue the case. Marshall and the two driver apologized to each other for the misunderstanding.
Broward Sheriff Office said it was a civil matter.
Marshall's agent told the South Florida Times in an email that his client was innocent.
"It was a communication issue, more of language barrier, in not understanding Mr. Marshall's destination," Kennard McGuire said. Marshall "was simply getting someone to help translate."
McGuire didn't immediately respond to an email or telephone message left after hours by NBC Miami.

Following on from 'Re-Imagining Cultural Learning' - a day held by Royal Opera House Bridge to explore the future of cultural learning - you can now hear the introduction to the day as well as full presentations from four key speakers.
Nic Marks Founder of the Centre for Well-Being
Nic Marks took to the stand first to explore the role of happiness and creativity in learning.
We pay more attention when we are in a good mood and are more creative…we are more open to relationships… You could say that the evolutionary role of positive emotions is about opportunities. The evolutionary role of so called negative emotions is about threats.
Martin Green Former head of Ceremonies at London 2012 Olympics
Martin Green gives a first hand account of what it takes to build the 'biggest show on earth' and why art and creativity are so important.
The main message is if you're going to succeed you need to trust in artists and you need to protect the integrity of the idea. We all work in culture and unless we can trust people to believe in the integrity of a single idea and fight it through, you'll end up with beige soup.
Louise Thomas Education lead at the Innovation unit
Louise Thomas follows-up with a fascinating look at the future of schools and the innovative practice currently taking place.
What's really important about these 're-imagined' schools is not so much what they're doing so much as how they are challenging conventional notions of how time, space, relationships and learning are constructed in their schools.
Mick Waters
Education Consultant Professor Mick Waters finished up the day with a brilliant round of thoughts raised during the presentations and discussions from the day. Mick tackles provocative questions including 'Does having culture in schools matter?'
What might schools do to take on Culture? Do we say if you take on culture in our schools it will help your results; your attendance will get better; your behaviour will get better; your exclusions will drop? Do we pander to the notion that if you do this OFSTED will like it? …which in truth they will. OFSTED does recognize the width of the curriculum and the offer to youngsters…but is that what we go for or do we say that culture has a value as culture? It should be there as an essential for every youngster and it should be a way of understanding the world in which we live… Young people need a guarantee of lifetime experiences!
Re-imagining Cultural Learning offered valuable time to discuss and reflect on the future of cultural learning. Guests included teachers and senior leaders from across arts, education and cultural settings and local authorities in each of the Royal Opera House Bridge areas - Essex, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and North Kent.
Royal Opera House Bridge is a three-year, publicly funded Arts Council England project that helps to connect children and young people with great art and culture.

The first day of the Fuerteventura World Cup in and 100th event of the PKRA started with registration and light winds. All the Slalom racers registered for the 3rd stop of the year. Everyone was expecting high winds early on, but the trade winds were capricious. All the riders took the time to tune their gear, go for an SUP session and enjoyed the perfect weather. Competiton will resume tomorrow when the trades return.
The men's fleet is full of top competitors like Julien Kerneur, Adam Withington, Oswald Smith and many more. Bryan Lake is not here to win a third consecutive race so someone else will walk away with €3000 and hoist the trophy of the Fuerteventura World Cup in its 28th consecutive edition. Many freestyle competitors entered this event looking for chance to upset the top racers in the world. Reno Romeu, Paul Serin, Chirs Bobryk are just some of the big names that are entered in the Slalom. On the womens side Gisela Pulido and Karolina Winkowska the best freestylers in the world will also be competiting in both freestyle and slalom.
The high winds will provide a great testing ground for full speed slalom racing. The past two events have taken place in rather light winds, so this will be a change for the racers. For this event, some competitors brought twin tip boards to see if they might have an advantage in high wind and around the marks. The forecast is calling for the winds to return tomorrow and then just keeps building for the rest of the week. All the races will be LIVE, so make sure you tune in and follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
