WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is holding off for now on seeking new legal authority to send unaccompanied migrant kids back home faster from the Southern border, following criticism that the administration's planned changes were too harsh.

 Instead when Obama formally asks Congress for more than $2 billion in emergency spending Tuesday to deal with the border crisis, the request will not be accompanied by the policy changes that the White House has indicated it plans to seek, according to two congressional aides. The aides spoke Monday on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the matter by name ahead of the announcement.

 White House officials said they still intend to pursue additional authorities to speed the return of the children who've been arriving by the thousands, mostly from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. But for now the White House request will focus on additional money for immigration judges, detention facilities, legal aid and other items that could address the situation on the border, which the administration has termed a humanitarian crisis.

 An administration official said the White House has already advised the congressional leadership that it wants expanded authorities and said it is still seeking those policy changes. But the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the request before it is announced, said the request for money would be sent separately.

 Decoupling the spending request from the contentious policy changes, which faced pushback from members of Obama's own party, may give the emergency money a better chance of getting through Congress.

 The approach comes after the White House told Congress last week that it would seek ``additional authority'' for the Homeland Security secretary to quickly return the minors back home. Immigration advocates understood this to mean that the children, who currently have the right to a hearing before an immigration judge, would lose that right and instead would have to make it through an initial screening with a Border Patrol agent.

 The immigrant advocacy community responded angrily, with more than 200 groups signing onto a letter last week calling on Obama to reconsider the changes.

 ``It would take away their right to council, right to proper screening. ... It would undermine completely due process,'' Leslie Holman, president of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, said in an interview Monday.

 Some congressional Democrats also voiced concerns.

 Now the White House will spend more time developing the proposals, along with plans to increase penalties on smugglers.

 The developments underscore the delicate position the administration finds itself in as it risks alienating allies by pursuing changes to turn the migrant kids around more quickly. More than 50,000 have arrived since October, in many cases fleeing violence at home but also drawn by rumors that they can stay in the U.S.

 Congressional Republicans blame Obama policies for the confusion; Obama administration officials dispute that.

 The controversy looks set to dog Obama this week as he travels to Texas, primarily to raise money for Democratic congressional candidates. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest reiterated Monday that Obama had no plans to visit the border, but Obama faced renewed criticism from Republicans over that decision.

 ``President Obama needs a wakeup call and visiting the border and seeing firsthand the severity of this ongoing crisis is that wakeup call,'' Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said in remarks prepared for delivery on the Senate floor.

 Earnest said Monday that most of the youths arriving would not be able to stay ultimately.

 ``It's unlikely that most of these kids will qualify for humanitarian relief,'' Earnest said. ``It means they will not have a legal basis for remaining in this country and will be returned.''

Court Passed Verdict Against Public Broadcasting
On December 22, Tbilisi City Court passed verdict against Public Broadcasting. Court confirmed that PB and its former director general acted illegally. According to the judgment, resolution of the competition commission was annulled and consequently the appeals of the participants on purchasing programs were canceled; among them application of Sigma Plus Ltd which prepares program "Etalon".
Director of the organization "Article 42 of the Constitution Manana Kobakhidze represented the "Sigma Plus Ltd" at the City Court.
Manana Kobakhidze: "The court annulled the results of the competition on 15th lot because former head of the PB Levan Kubaneishvili had blatantly breached the law because of interest conflict.
"Former chairperson of the PB Levan Kubaneishvili was head of competition commission; before that he was head of TBC-TV which participated in the competition; the Law of Georgia on Purchases prohibits similar activities."
According to the judgment, PB shall compensate Sigma Plus the court fee; but it shall not compensate the expenses of the Ltd for the lawyer and competition; though the company had submitted all corresponding documents on expenditure to the court.
"Of course it is good that the Court acknowledged the blatant violation of the law by PB but we will appeal against its decision on compensation at the Appeal Court", said lawyer Manana Kobakhidze.

When a four-girl, one-guy rock group called The Mystery gets its first gig at a club, it's not just a chance to perform, it's also an opportunity to get out of the inner city¿and see what life is all about. Fresh out of high school, the group spends the summer playing a club in an exclusive beach resort. There they find romance, adventure and, for the lead singer Jennie Lee (Bateman), a dilemma: to pursue her budding career or return to school. Liam Neeson and Julia Roberts co-star.
It's hard to believe there was ever a time when Justine Bateman was a bigger star than Julia Roberts, but Satisfaction is the evidence of that brief moment. It's also a movie unjustly maligned, perhaps because it's a little more frank about the sexuality of young women than older male movie critics find comfortable. Jennie Lee (Bateman, Family Ties) and her band (Roberts, soon to become one of the biggest movies stars in the world; Trini Alvarado, Little Women; Britta Phillips, later to be the bassist for the rock band Luna; and Scott Coffey, the only actor to appear in both Ferris Bueller's Day Off and David Lynch's Mulholland Drive) go to a beach town where they get a gig playing in a club run by a former songwriter (Liam Neeson, Schindler's List). Over the course of a summer, they fall in love, have sex, and play rock and roll--but the tone and texture of the movie is more American Graffiti than Girls Just Want to Have Fun. Perhaps because Satisfaction was directed by a woman, the girls are startlingly well drawn and distinct, despite the movie's episodic nature. Surprisingly, the music has some grit to it, perhaps because it was produced by the legendary Steve Cropper (of Booker T. and the MGs). Even more surprising, Roberts doesn't pop out as a future star; watching Satisfaction, you could imagine that anyone in this strong ensemble--even Justine Bateman--could go on to great things (if anyone stands out, it's Britta Phillips, who then dropped out of movies altogether). Satisfaction is not profound, but it is more honest and nonjudgmental about the messiness of life, youth, and love than the overwhelming majority of teen movies. Debbie Harry has a brief but memorable cameo. --Bret Fetzer

My husband and I stayed here in mid April 2013. We stayed for 5 nights. We booked over the phone directly with the hotel. The receptionist automatically gave us a good discount for a longer stay. We asked for a room at the front with a view.
Room 101 was on the ground floor and was directly on the road frontage so had a great view over the harbour. Our 2 bedroom unit was spotless and very spacious.
Kitchen had everything we needed and more, as we mostly ate out. Paihia is mostly eateries and tourist shops. We had breakfast several times at the Upper Deck café 20m along the road. They did a great breakfast and were situated one story up from the road and as the name implies you ate on the deck with more wonderful views.
The hotel is the closest to central Paihia, so close our room was beside an Indian restaurant. Some cooking smells did drift and also some noise but April is a quiet time of the year.
Our room was noisy at times from the traffic which was mainly during the day, especially when you sat outside, however the views are what we wanted so a small compromise.
Our room was adjacent to Reception so you could hear the guests talking as they checked in and out. Eventually you learn to ignore this.
Very effective fire alarm which went off at 10.30pm on our last night. There is an alarm directly over the bed with a very loud voice message! We all spent 30 mins out on the side of the road (some in PJ's) but it was mild so no issue .
If we stayed again we would ask for a road frontage suite but on level 2 or 3. We only booked 10 days prior to staying so these were already booked. While noise was a small problem I would think any rooms not on the road would be very quiet. I would say this hotel is the pick of Paihia accommodation. All the tourist information and booking kiosks are within 100m of the hotel.

Residents of a village in Kazakhstan are being relocated because of a mysterious illness that has been causing people's brains to "switch off" and go into comas.
Kazakhstan's president is worried the final syllable of the country's name is scaring off tourists and investors; Edward Snowden was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Norwegian lawmakers who may have felt slighted by Obama's choice of ambassador to Oslo; and now there is an app for Google Glass that will identify you at a glance. These discoveries and more after the jump.
Human Rights Watch / Moises Saman
Human Rights Watch is planning to release a report on Wednesday that documents widespread child and forced labor practices on the Central Asian farms that supply tobacco to Philip Morris' cigarette factory in Kazakhstan.
The name Frank Giustra may not ring any bells with those outside the international mining industry, but Thursday's New York Times brings Giustra (pictured with Clinton) out of relative obscurity into sharp focus with its startling report about the Canadian entrepreneur, who boldly inserted himself into the uranium business in Kazakhstan (!) and into Bill Clinton's inner circle.
From ynetnews.com
A N.Y. Times reporter finds that most Kazakhs are amused by the ludicrous representation of their country by Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat character. But their leaders apparently can't take a joke.
UPDATE: Kazakh theaters won't screen the movie; also, watch Borat's response to earlier controversy
Courtesy HBO
When the president meets with Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev in Maine, the two will reportedly discuss the way in which Kazakstan's image has been savaged by the Sacha Baron Cohen character, Borat. (h/t: Huff Po)
AP / Shawn Thew
Just after launching an initiative to combat international kleptocracy, President Bush is scheduled to meet with the leader of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, a man who stands accused in U.S. courts of high-level bribery and who runs his country as a repressive despot.
The movie trailer is out for Sacha Baron Cohen's "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan." Watch an American rodeo crowd roar in approval (and then disgust) as Cohen's Borat mocks America's "war of terror" and arrogance.

|Review: Machinarium for iPad
Monday, 25 June 2012 12:00
Machinarium is a complex puzzle game with beautifully detailed graphics.
As a non-gamer, I'm a bit embarrassed by how addictive I found Machinarium. I also have a few confessions: it was a bit frustrating at times; I may have cheated a bit; and I'm a little sad that I've finished the game.
Machinarium is a slightly offbeat puzzle-solving game. What makes it offbeat? Well, for starters, it is set in a post-apocalyptic world and kicks off with the protagonist, a robot, being kicked out of the Machinarium, and thrown onto a pile of rubbish. By following clues, users are able to put the robot back together, sneak back into the Machinarium and rescue the robot's love interest (who is being held captive by some not-so-nice robots).
Of course, there is a lot more the stretchy robot has to do before he can get the girl. Tasks in the mini-adventure include defusing a bomb, rescuing a dog and getting back at the nasty bots.
Look and feel
Machinarium's creepy, steam-punkesque design is refreshingly different to that of most tablet game apps. The game is also significantly more complicated than many of the point-and-shoot-style games and the Angry Birds copycats that are so common on tablet devices.
The hand-drawn graphics and muted colouring add to the game's dystopian feel. The Machinarium is made up of rundown buildings and the soundtrack is at times somewhat eerie. These features add to the atmosphere of doom prevalent throughout the game.
The back-story to the Machinarium world and its characters is narrated to the player through interactions with other characters and the occasional recollection by the protagonist. Interacting with other characters also unlocks some clues, in the form of doodled speech bubbles – there is no spoken dialogue in the game.
This game is a must for those who enjoy solving puzzles. While the gameplay is mostly drag-and-drop, the game is rather complex. Players have to take note of everything that happens in the game, because clues are subtle, appearing to the player in the form of sounds and animations from other characters.
Most of the tasks in this mini-adventure involve the robot collecting items – he keeps these in his inventory by throwing back his head and dropping them down his throat. The inventory is displayed at the bottom of the screen, allowing users to tap and drag items, either giving them to other characters, or using them to solve puzzles.
The game also features a guidebook that has detailed sketches on how to solve the puzzles in each room. The guidebook is unlocked by playing a short point-and-shoot game. This pops up when users tap on the guidebook. Once this game has been played to completion, the book pops open.
I think this is a nice add-on for when users get stuck. The point-and-shoot game is also a cunning way to stop users from just opening the book each time they enter a new room. Tapping on the light bulb also gives users a clue, although this is just one doodle of the final goal, and usually, it's the 'how to' part that's tricky, rather than the 'what'.
The robot can only interact with objects and characters in his immediate vicinity, which means a lot of time is spent directing him around rooms. In moments of frustration, I found myself endlessly tapping every area of the screen in an effort to find objects to solve the scene's puzzles. The truth is, the game is incredibly tricky, and I had to consult the guidebook more than once.
The puzzles themselves involve anything from fiddling with circuit boards, to assembling the objects in the inventory, to helping other characters in exchange for other objects.
Unfortunately, the game is not without a few glitches. Tapping on objects sometimes appears to give no response, unless users are extremely accurate about where they tap. Also, once the robot is on a motion path, users are unable to stop him, or get him to do something else, until he is finished, which was frustrating at times.
The game also comes with the ability to save.
In a nutshell
Machinarium's gorgeous, if creepy visuals make it a must-have app, even if only for the "oohs" and "aahs" users will get from their friends. The game is tricky enough to keep users busy for a good eight hours.
I did find the $4.99 price tag a bit steep for a game that can only be fully enjoyed once. However, the attention to detail in the graphics and the cute animation make this app worth it.
Good: Beautiful graphics; challenging game.
Bad: The point-and-tap gameplay can be a bit tiresome.

The war on drugs has failed: Global Commission on Drug Policy launches new report
12 September, 2014
The Global Commission on Drug Policy met this week in New York for the launch their new report, Taking Control: pathways to drug policies that work. The report calls on world leaders and policymakers to re-think and reform global drug policy, moving away from the 'war on drugs' stance, which they argue has failed, to a stance focused on human rights and access to healthcare.
Visceral leishmaniasis-HIV co-infection an emerging global health issue
10 September, 2014
Visceral leishmaniasis-HIV (VL/HIV) co-infection is an emerging global health issue, prominent in Africa, and on the rise in South America and India. Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a disease that develops from the leishmaniasis parasite, which is transmitted via the bite of a sand fly. VL is the biggest global parasite killer after malaria, and is a major concern for people living with HIV (PLHIV) as a potentially life threatening co-infection.
Drugs shortage in free antiretroviral treatment programs in India is trouble for the poor
9 September, 2014
Shortages of antiretroviral treatment in India cause that many people living with HIV are unable to access the needed drugs through government run distribution centres.
Targeting high-risk groups with HIV prevention services cost-effective for public health
5 September, 2014
Large-scale HIV prevention programmes targeted at high-risk populations can be enormously cost-effective for public health, according to new research conducted on the Avahan HIV prevention programme in India. The researchers found that in a concentrated epidemic, targeting services at key affected populations, including sex workers and men who have sex with men, will be effective both in averting new infections, and prove to be value for money over time.
Rise in HIV prevalence among South Sudanese refugees in Uganda
2 September, 2014
There has been an estimated 15 percent increase in new HIV infections among South Sudanese refugees in a Ugandan refugee camp. Since the conflict in South Sudan re-erupted, 1.5 million people have been displaced, with over 421,000 fleeing to neighbouring countries such as Uganda. In one Ugandan refugee camp, Kiryandogo, the population is increasing every day with an expected 35,000 refugees by the end of 2014.
Corporate social responsibility to combat HIV in the workforce
22 August, 2014
Organisations operating in countries with a high HIV prevalence are increasingly making efforts to tackle the epidemic and develop strategies to reduce workers risk of HIV. Ill health and loss of life are major negative cost of the epidemic; however it also has the effect of crippling economies, as a significant proportion of the work force is affected. Industries such as oil and gas have realised that addressing HIV makes business sense, as well as ensuring the well-being of thousands of people.
HIV research and prevention programs at risk with decline in investments
19 August, 2014
The HIV Vaccines and Microbicides Resource Tracking Working Group reports that the total amount spent on HIV prevention research dropped in 2013. Key reasons are a reduction in investments by the United States and European government donors and changes in the international development landscape.
Police working with, rather than against, key populations.
13 August, 2014
Increasingly, across the globe, HIV organisations and experts are training police to implement harm reduction strategies to prevent HIV transmission among people who inject drugs (PWID) and sex workers. Police relations with these key populations have been largely negative, with these groups highly susceptible to police violence and harassment.
