LONDON – One of Usain Bolt's closest friends is facing a trial on a double murder charge that has created a huge scandal in Jamaica.
Recording artist Vybz Kartel has known Bolt for more than a decade and the pair has repeatedly gone on record to voice their admiration for each other's abilities.
Kartel hoped to travel to London to watch Bolt in action, but he remains in prison after being charged with the murders of businessman and music promoter Barrington Burton and suspected gang member Clive "Lizzard" Williams.

"Vybz Kartel is my favorite artist," Bolt said in a recent documentary titled "Why Do Jamaicans Run So Fast." "He is a good lyricist. I listen to all his music. It is fun."
Bolt's famous celebration where he arranges his arms into an "archer" pose is known as "To The World," a motto originally used by Kartel and his posse of musician friends who perform "dancehall" – a modern, fast-paced version of reggae.
"It is a great feeling to know we share the same respect," Kartel said. "Usain Bolt is my favorite athlete and I have known him since high school. We are two Jamaicans who in our respective fields both reach the heights of greatness, yet to be surpassed. It is a good comparison."
Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, has enjoyed great commercial success in Jamaica, and he enjoys a strong following in the United Kingdom and Canada. He has collaborated with leading stars such as Jay-Z, Eminem, Rihanna, Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, Lil' Wayne and Pitbull.

However, his career and business interests – which include a range of soaps, shoes and his own brand of rum – have taken a hit due to his incarceration.
Kartel was arrested in October for possession of marijuana, followed by charges of illegal possession of a firearm, murder and conspiracy to murder. Later that month, he was charged with the murders of Burton and Williams.
While attempting to seek bail, Kartel was further charged with conspiracy and attempt to interfere with the course of justice. The trial for his drug charges was repeatedly postponed.
Last week, the trial dates for his murder charges were set. He will appear in relation to the case of Burton on Oct. 29 and Williams on Nov. 5.
Jamaica's Major Investigation Taskforce rarely comments on individual cases, but some information about the charge relating to Burton's death has emerged. It is alleged that in July of last year Kartel and other men conspired to murder Burton while he stood with friends on a street in the Kingston suburb of Portmore.

Police investigated Kartel's lavish house in the exclusive development of Norbrook, then searched a property in another part of the city that had recently been damaged in a fire. Investigators were able to remove a computer hard drive, however, and Kartel was arrested soon after in relation to a body found at the site believed to be Williams.
Bolt's love of dancehall music is legendary in Jamaica and his coach Glen Mills asked him to scale back his partying ways several times over the past few years.
The athlete has regularly attended dancehall parties hosted by Kartel in the Jamaican capital of Kingston but admitted that toning down his lifestyle was necessary to ensure continued success.

I'm having a hard time recalling any extreme athlete sponsored by a smartphone company, one of you guys can clue me in on anyone below. But Nokia has done just that, they've picked up pro snowboarder Roope Tonteri and will join companies like Burton, Anon, and RedBull as a sponsor for the young Finn.
Don't worry if you don't follow the snowboarder scene too closely, we'll fill you in. Roope is a 20 year old who has been racking up the wins lately. He's currently ranked first in the World Snowboard Tour. The promo video Nokia put up on their YouTube account was shot with a Lumia 920. Nokia is also running a little contest where if you guess Roope's first phone you could win a Lumia 920 yourself. Check the source link below for the video to get the full details on that.
The big purpose of the sponsorship with Roope is for him to highlight and document his life through the Lumia 920 (and future phones).
The partnership between Nokia and the young Burton team rider should give Nokia a nice marketing edge with the action sport crowd. This isn't the first time that Nokia and Burton have been in the same sentence. The two companies have partnered up in the past, recently producing an insulated case for smartphones in cold environments and a contest to win a Lumia 920 and go to Colorado for the Burton US Open.
I wouldn't be too surprised to see Nokia show up in some snowboard films next year.

Well, started up a playthrough feeling rather like a dunce for talking a lot and not doing much. Last time around it yielded pretty good stuff and was educational.
1) One of the three initial goat dungeons has a subdungeon that can get you walled off, because LEMISI doesn't lock onto monsters as a prefference, going for revealing gold. Was this intended?
2) And now I'm not sure the "starter puzzle pack" gave the gold reward at all. Eh, someone will have noticed by now...
- Like: The lack of the "Robbed!" part of banker quest. It was a bit of a letdown to get all your loot stolen
- Like: The new help window in the starter puzzle pack, with the pointer and stuff.
- Find Odd: - The first puzzle displays the "Return to the guild" popup, but also spawns the stairs. Not vital in any way, just redundant and I noticed it. If they're ment to have a non-standard ending (with the popup) why the stairs? Plus, the final puzzle makes a direct refference to ascending the stairs.
- Find Odd: - The additional bonuses on the IMAWAL glyph aren't noted on the tutorial glyph. Could be on purpose, but didn't the glyph also got curse removal added to it. If so, does it ever show?
- Like: - The fast that burning now has a "max" tooltip, probably gonna point any observant newbies to play with it and figure it out. It's an important tool in the very beggining.
- MISSCLICK DEATH No. 1 - Venture cave, first normal dungeon run ever, banker quest. I did not even find the halflings or gnomes or whoever it is, and allready a missclick death by mouse pointer hitting a small groove in the surface and missin the glyph I was trying to pick up by a milisomething and clicking on a lvl9 Warlock. Gonna count these.
- Puzzling Tooltip: - It's actually not clear if the Thief's stabber bonus apply the damage on magical attacks. Ok, it's called stabber, but still... - Like: the fact that you can't screw you math by wasting stabber anymore
- Like: - The new first directional dungeon quest modes (1st and 2nd class required), will check out how it feels.
Saturday ones:
- Like: Spawn plants tagged as an ability on druids which spawn them. Results of picking up boons highlighted on Taurog
- Find Odd: Why aren't there status buff flags at the portrait for god worship, to tell you which god you are worshiping. It sounds silly, but when you first walk into a god subdungeons, finish up the quest and walk out, it's not actualy clear that you are now a worshiper. Just saying.
- Like: Taurogs puzzle pack. Can't tell how hard it is really, but it took me a couple of tries for the 2nd and 4-5 for the 3rd. Nice.
- ??????: Sir Thrawn, The Dark Knight Subdungeon - exploration bonanza with a small hazard? Just found it for the first time, trying to figure it out.
- Find Odd: : You can actually finish the final gnome puzzle with qute a bit of resources left over. Actually this seems to be the only way to do it to me right now. And it doesn't even have anything to do with abusing the new retaliation. Just strange, I wonder what the intended solution was...

HILLSVILLE — The commercial dog breeder from Hillsville who was convicted of multiple counts of animal cruelty and neglect in 2008 faces 15 new misdemeanor charges after a surprise Jan. 27 inspection, according to Carroll's commonwealth's attorney.
Lanzie Carroll Horton Jr. was previously convicted of 14 counts of animal cruelty and 25 counts of neglect in Carroll General District Court. Those convictions were upheld in Carroll circuit, and Horton has asked the Virginia Appeals Court to overturn the initial ruling.

Bank Name: The First National Bank of Wiscasset
State: ME – Maine
Charter Number: 1549
Lifetime: Operated 1865 to 1917 | Total Issue – $1,111,950
Series: $5 – 1875 National Banknote
Sheets Printed: 3,780
Value: Call, Text, or Email For A Quote | email@example.com | 864-430-4020
Basic Design:
Rarity and Value: This is generally considered the most common first charter note available. However, don't get the word common confused with cheap. Some of these notes can be extremely valuable. It really just depends on the condition and bank of issue. The most generic examples might only be worth several hundred dollars. Rarer examples could be worth many times more than that. Contact us for details. Don't forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: If you like a diverse offering of bank notes, then you should consider collecting Maine. The market for Maine has never been especially hot or especially cold. Maine is an old established state. It had lots of first charter banks that were in business for a very long time and that makes it relatively easy to find brown backs and red seals. It is possible to buy great notes in high grades for very reasonable prices. We are not sure if it is the cold weather, but notes tend to be found in pretty decent condition with great signatures. And it's not just about type notes. There are some tough towns in Maine as well. You can challenge yourself if you try to get a note from every town.
We Are Buyers!!!

250 Anne Frank books vandalized in Tokyo libraries
TOKYO -- Anne Frank's "The Diary of a Young Girl" and scores of books about the young Holocaust victim have been vandalized in Tokyo public libraries.
Dozens of pages were ripped in the books. The libraries have counted 265 damaged books at 31 municipal libraries since the end of January. An official at one library said all the books could have been found using the keywords "Anne Frank" in an online database.
The motive is unclear. Police are investigating.
At least one library moved Anne Frank-related books behind the counter for protection.
Anne Frank wrote the diary while hiding from the Nazis. After her family was betrayed, she died in a concentration camp at age 15. Her diary has become the most widely read document to emerge from the Holocaust.

India: Rare Buddhist manuscript Lotus Sutra released
A rare Buddhist manuscript, discovered by cattle grazers in 1931, has been released in book form in India.
The Lotus Sutra was found in Gilgit region, now in Pakistan.
The document, which dates back to 5th century, is perhaps the only Buddhist manuscript discovered in India.
Believed to be one of the most revered Buddhist scriptures, it represents the discourse delivered by Buddha towards the end of his life.
The Gilgit Lotus Sutra is kept at the National Archives of India in the capital, Delhi.
'Important find'
The book - a facsimile edition which is an exact replica of the manuscripts - will be launched by the National Archives jointly with the Institute of Oriental Philosophy and Soka Gakkai, a Japan-based non-governmental organisation recognised by the UN.
"This will help greatly to preserve the rare documents for posterity and make them available for future research," Prof Mushir-ul Hasan, Director General of National Archives of India, said.
The manuscripts were discovered in a wooden box in a circular chamber inside a Buddhist stupa by cattle grazers who brought the box to the Wazir of Gilgit.
The Wazir of Gilgit sent it to the Maharaja of Kashmir in Srinagar.
The document was studied by Hungarian-British archaeologist Sir Aurel Stein who announced the important find to the world.
Officials at the National Archives say the ancient manuscripts managed to survive for centuries because they were written on the bark of the bhoj (birch) tree which does not decay and were kept in the freezing sub-zero temperatures of the Gilgit region.
The Lotus Sutra is one of the most sacred scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism , which is strongest in Tibet, China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and Mongolia.

NEW, March 5 (UPI) -- "American Beauty" actress Annette Bening said having her photo taken for Vanity Fair without any makeup was "a thrill."
During an appearance on "Live! With Kelly and Michael," Bening said she enjoyed the "raw portraits" taken by painter and photographer Chuck Close.
She said she considers dressing up and being glamorous a lot of fun.
"He's one of the greatest artists in history," she said. "And I knew if it was Chuck Close, he makes amazing portraits so once you're asked to do something for Chuck Close, then you just say, 'I'll be there.' That's how I felt. He's an amazing human being and a great artist. So it was really a thrill."
What do you think of Bening's "raw portrait."
"Getting all dressed up and putting on fancy clothes. All of that's a great thing but oddly, it doesn't really have a lot to do with acting most of the time," she said. And a lot of the things, we're peeling, hopefully, layers away and showing something that's inside, hopefully, that people can relate to in a story so it's more akin to what we do a lot of the time."

Gruppen Fyra
Dance company Gruppen Fyra is a finnish contemporary dance group, established in 1998. Gruppen Fyra´s current members are Master on art Pia Tavela, Jenni Nikolajeff, Virpi Juntti, Kaisu Hölttä and Tommi Haapaniemi. The group also has several bonus members representing different branches of the arts.
Gruppen Fyra makes 1-3 production per year. Dance company´s programme consists of tour performances, commissioned works as well as the long-standing hit performances. In addition to its performances at theatres, Gruppen Fyra has performed at private company occasions and at most unlikely places such as parks, city streets and even trams.
Gruppen Fyra has performed in many different occasions in Finland and abroad (Japan and Portugal 2004, Iceland, Thailand and Norway 2000). The group started out for two reasons: The members of the group wanted to employ themselves and they also wanted to expand people's knowledge of dance by performing in places where dance is not normally seen; in the streets, trams, fairs, department stores and in different business occasions just to mention a few. Gruppen Fyra can also make improvisation based performances for different outdoorevents.
Gruppen Fyra is a fresh breeze in the field of Finnish contemporary dance. Their style of making high-level and easily approachable contemporary dance filled with humour has been received with great enthusiasm.

These single child families (in the diagram) are leading to our demographic extinction. Thankfully not everyone is limiting themselves to having only one child though, so while some cultures will disappear from the planet due to declining birthrates, others will flood in to fill the void just like when one species of animal goes extinct giving another the chance to flourish in that empty niche. I hear that the fall of the dinosaurs may have allowed mammals to gain a firmer foothold and flourish so such a fate for entire human cultures may be natural as well.
Time will tell I suppose, but if there are any fit ladies out there in need of the makings, I may be amenable to a covert transfer of genetic material as long as your impotent husbands or boyfriends are kept out of the loop.
Please understand that I am not in it for the base non-committal carnal pleasure of boinking other guys women at all, because that almost entirely sounds a little tiny bit unethical to me and has barely any appeal whatsoever unlike my desire to assist Habit Wearing Catholic Nuns to accomplish what they would be free to tell everyone was just another immaculate conception. I am a nice guy and only want to do my part to counteract the falling demographics, so no haters please.
I see the political correctness and all... but shouldn't it be society that provides family? Why must one automatically assume that the ability to reproduce (or lack thereof) immediately provides even the slightest idea of effective upbringing of children?
Post a big fat: "They all equally suck" on top. It's a better point.
(I detect the parody in your post, and I acknowledge that...but there are people out there who believe that stuff, so I thought I'd react to it as if I didn't detect those things...)
You seem to have a conception about population density on our planet that defies rationality. In 1900, the world population was 1,670,000,000 people. That's a lot of people. (To put that into perspective, if you decided to count to that number at one number per second, it would take you roughly 53 years.). In 1950, the world population was 2,521,000,000 people. (It would take about 80 years to count that high). In 1999, the population had risen to 5,978,000,000 people (189 years), and at last count, 9 years later in 2008, the world population was 6,707,000,000 (212 years). To get from 1.6 billion to 2.5 billion, it took 50 years. To get from 5.9 billion to 6.7 billion, it took 9 years. Our population is certainly not declining. The rate of increase is decreasing, due to many factors, but the RATE OF INCREASE is decreasing....not the population... We are still on track for 8.9 billion by 2050 and 9.7 billion in 2150. There are very, very few populations of people on the planet which are experiencing, or will experience, a decrease in population, at least in the foreseeable future.
You know Dan, it's guys like you in the bars which really reduce the success rate of guys who lie and bullshit their way into the beds of ladies whose senses are dulled enough by alcohol to fall for just about any patter if delivered with a hint of veracity and a tinge of humor, so thanks for being so literal here. ( again, just joking )
I really have no good understanding of demographics or even large numbers, but I was attempting to comedically riff off the fact that the birthrate in Canada is around 1.4 children per woman which is according to Mark Steyn in his book 'America Alone' is a birthrate below replacement rate or what would be necessary to maintain the population at the current numbers. I recall looking up the birth rate in Canada a few years ago & it seemed to be something less than 1.5 per as I recall. Steyn also goes on to give the very low birth rates in Spain, Japan & some other countries so again, I am no demographer, and indeed admittedly inept with math but if Steyn is correct then the population in some countries is falling & they can only maintain the current poullation levels through immigration. I believe he indicated as well that the birthrates in some countries and predominently among muslim populations in many countries is very very high so I guess it all balances out to give an overall increase in total world population, even though there seems to be according to my very basic and limited understanding, to be a demographic shift taking place.
I did not calculate all the figures Steyn gave and would get muddled in the attempt in any case, so I leave the fine details up to those who have a facility with numbers which eludes me. Oh I saw a video on youtube referencing the upside down pyramid like falling birthrate in Western Cultures, and the right-side up increasing birthrate in predominantly muslim cultures but again, I have no idea if the numbers are correct or make sense because I am no demographer, and I must use a calculator to figure out the exact number of fingers and toes I have, so I may be totally misunderstanding what Mark Steyn in 'America Alone' was saying.
Yes Laura, the graphic clearly shows that families can be made up of various combinations of adults, however what stood out to me was that in every family there was only one child which is pretty close to the reality in our modern western society where the old fashioned large family with four six or ten kids has fallen by the wayside in favor of most families having one child or sometimes two and it is almost a bizarre novelty to see someone with a large brood anymore.
The image above triggered my recollection of the book America Alone by Mark Steyn wherein he postulates that because most other western countries have falling birthrates below the rate which replace the parents, but America has a barely sustainable birthrate of 2.11 per woman which replaces the parents plus allows for a little increase in population, there will come a time when 'America' will be 'Alone' as it were in having a population which is not predominantly muslim in makeup. There might be the same or even more people on the planet as Daniel has indicated, but fewer of those people will be atheists like us, and more of them will be muslim than non muslim.
I do not know the birthrate among the worldwide population of Atheists, but again, if there are any fit, and fertile ladies out there who would like to counteract the Atheist march to population extinction call me at 555-9285. If any Nuns send photos of yourself in your Habit to ..... well never-mind because Daniel is just going to shag it all up for me again with his fixation on correctness.
I think this diagram represents the simple yet important fact of the diversity of the family and the need to accept whatever people define as it as such.
The polygamy comment is an interesting one, and I would say that would be a great topic for a forum discussion.
In terms of the population comments that are in this blog; Would it be fair to say, and I say this without looking at facts and figures, that very religious communities or cultures have more children to promulgate their religion and to ensure it's survival by increasing it's numbers? This planet is over populated and its resources cannot keep up with the demand. This is another example of how religion will destroy this world. I am not saying we all go with the one-child policy of China, but maybe some limits should be put in place? Just a thought. I love the diagram though.

Nashville, Tenn. - After finally beating Morehead State for the first time in three tries, the Tennessee State men's basketball team turns its focus to a 6 p.m. tip-off versus cross-town rival and No. 1 seed Belmont on Friday.
The Tigers and Bruins split the season series 1-1, but TSU got the better of BU in the teams' last meeting on Feb. 14 in the Gentry Center.
In that game, Tennessee State held Belmont to a season-low 19 percent from the three-point line in an 80-69 victory.
TSU's victory was its first against Belmont since 1987- before the Bruins became members of Division I.
Robert Covington led the Tigers with 25 points on 7-of-9 shooting. He also made 3-of-4 from outside the three-point line and all eight of his free throws. His 25 were his most since Dec. 16 against Lemoyne-Owen.
Kellen Thornton (18), Patrick Miller (15) and Jordan Cyphers (10) likewise scored in double-digits for TSU the last time the team played Belmont.
Cyphers also performed well in the teams' first meeting this year, pouring in a career-high 23 points in a loss to the Bruins. He tied his career mark against Morehead State in TSU's last game and has now scored in double-digits in 13 of his team's last 14 contests.
TSU advanced to today's semi-final by beating Morehead State, 88-75, on Thursday night. Scoring over 70 points has been big for Tennessee State this season as they are 13-2 when breaking that barrier.
The Tigers have their work cut out for them in today's matchup as Belmont enters as the OVC's top scoring defense, allowing opponents a paltry 63.6 points per game. They also enter with the OVC's best record at 24-6 overall and 14-2 against league opponents.
The Bruins are paced by the conference's co-MVP and defensive player of the year Ian Clark and fellow All-OVC Nominee Kerron Johnson. The duo has combined to average 31.6 points per game and a total of 100 steals.
They have also led Belmont to the league's top spot in scoring offense, field goal percentage, steals, and assists. If the Bruins do have a weakness it is on the boards where they are -0.5 in rebounding margin. TSU, meanwhile, is +2.8 on the glass.
Tennessee State is 8-10 all-time against Belmont and the winner of today's ESPNU televised matchup will secure a spot in the OVC Championship Game.

0 Members and 1 Lonely Barbarian are spying on this topic.
After reading your Nipponism post, I'm kicking around the idea of a Brazilian parapsychic street samurai. Someone from a hellish favela of Nueva Sao Paolo, who survived the streets by learning martial arts and honing latent parapsychic abilities. He got work with an illegal zaibatsu outpost in Brazil, got cybernetic implants, started security and paramilitary jobs. When the USSA shut down the zaibatsu, he went back to the streets to pick up whatever work he could get.
That's agreeable. I like the former idea best: a warrior steeped in Nipponese samurai culture who's discovering his own natural parapsychic talents.
For the parapsychic, I'm thinking environmental, probably telekinesis.Might need some direction on the cybernetic enhancements. Certainly some military-grade stuff, maybe some enhanced vision and speed. Don't know about power sources.

Group Calls for Boycott of Ben & Jerry's Schweddy Balls Ice Cream
The advocacy group One Million Moms aren't big fans of a new Ben & Jerry's flavor dubbed "Schweddy Balls."
In fact, they're calling for a boycott of the ice cream, whose name pays tribute to a 'Saturday Night Live' sketch in which Alec Baldwin plays Pete Schweddy, a man who makes popcorn, rum and cheese balls.
One Million Moms' statement, released Wednesday, states:
"Ben & Jerry's announced their newest ice cream flavor which sounds anything but appealing. Schweddy Balls is the best they could come up with. The vulgar new flavor has turned something as innocent as ice cream into something repulsive. Not exactly what you want a child asking for at the supermarket."
The group also calls the company's Hubby Hubby flavor, a special edition of Chubby Hubby released last year to celebrate the legalization of gay marriage in some US states, "tasteless."
According to Ben & Jerry's spokesman Sean Greenwood, the Vermont-based ice cream company won't be heeding this call to remove Schweddy Balls from the shelves.
"We have not changed our plan in any way," Greenwood told Fox News. "What we're hearing from our fans is, 'We like it, keep it out.' We'll get through this year and see what our fans want next year."
Check out the SNL sketch that launched the flavor below:

A 290-pound diner claims the White Castle chain has violated the civil rights of its more sizable clientele by not following through on promises to make its tight booths bigger to accommodate their bellies.
Martin Kessman, a 64-year-old New Yorker, filed a complaint after he could barely squeeze into the fast-food restaurants booths and bumped his knees on the table's metal supports, the New York Post reported.
Though White Castle said they would make the booths bigger, there's been no change. The seating's still too small for Kessman, who now sends his wife to get his sliders… to go, the Post said.
From the story.
"They sent me specs and everything, about how the booths were going to be enlarged and made comfortable for people with a little more weight," Kessman said. "So two and a half years went by, and nothing was done."
The Rockland County man says the chain's uncomfortable booths violate the civil rights of fat people.
The Americans with Disabilities Act is "applicable, not only to me, but to pregnant women and to handicapped people," he said.
"I just want to sit down like a normal person," said Kessman, who is suing for bigger chairs and unspecified damages.
Kessman could have approached a store manager and asked for a regular chair, said White Castle spokeswoman Jamie Richardson, who had no timetable for the expected renovation of the Nanuet store.

Dmitri Sklyarov is a Russian programmer who, until recently, lived and worked in Moscow. He wrote a program that was legal in Russia, and in most of the world, a program his employer, ElcomSoft, then sold on the Internet. Adobe Corporation bought a copy and complained to the Federal Bureau of Investigation that the program violated American law and that, by the way, Mr. Sklyarov was about to give a lecture in Las Vegas describing the weaknesses in Adobe's electronic book software. Two weeks ago, the F.B.I. arrested Mr. Sklyarov. He still sits in a Las Vegas jail.
Something is going terribly wrong with copyright law in America. Mr. Sklyarov himself did not violate any law, and his employer did not violate anyone's copyright. What his program did was to enable the user of an Adobe eBook Reader to disable restrictions that the publisher of a particular electronic book formatted for Adobe's reader might have imposed. Adobe's eBook Reader, for example, has a read-aloud function. With it, the computer will read out loud an appropriately formatted eBook text. A publisher can disable that function for a particular eBook. Mr. Sklyarov's program would enable the purchaser of such a disabled eBook to overcome the restriction. A blind person, for example, could use ElcomSoft's program to listen to a book.
The problem from Adobe's perspective, however, is that the same software could enable a pirate to copy an electronic book otherwise readable only with Adobe's reader technology -- then sell that copy to others without the publisher's permission. That would be a copyright violation, and it is that possibility that led Congress to enact the statute that has now landed Mr. Sklyarov in jail -- the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
The D.M.C.A. outlaws technologies designed to circumvent other technologies that protect copyrighted material. It is law protecting software code protecting copyright. The trouble, however, is that technologies that protect copyrighted material are never as subtle as the law of copyright. Copyright law permits fair use of copyrighted material; technologies that protect copyrighted material need not. Copyright law protects for a limited time; technologies have no such limit.
Thus when the D.M.C.A. protects technology that in turn protects copyrighted material, it often protects much more broadly than copyright law does. It makes criminal what copyright law would forgive.Continue reading the main story
Using software code to enforce law is controversial enough. Making it a crime to crack that technology, whether or not the use of that ability would be a copyright violation, is to delegate lawmaking to code writers. Yet that is precisely what the D.M.C.A. does. The relevant protection for copyrighted material becomes as the technology says, not as copyright law requires.
America is essentially alone in this strategy of techno-lawmaking. Most nations in the world -- including, importantly for Mr. Sklyarov, Russia -- regulate copyright violations through copyright law, not through laws aimed at code writers. But what the Sklyarov case means is that this controversial experiment in the United States now essentially regulates the world. If you produce and distribute code that cracks technological protection systems, and that code can be accessed in the United States, then it's just a matter of time before our F.B.I. comes knocking at your door.
This is bad law and bad policy. It not only interferes with the legitimate use of copyrighted material, it undermines security more generally. Research into security and encryption depends upon the right to crack and report. Only if weaknesses can be discovered and described openly will they be fixed.
Increasingly, in the United States, this freedom has been lost. In April, for example, Edward Felten, a Princeton professor and encryption researcher, received a letter from recording industry lawyers warning him that a paper he was about to present at a conference -- it described the weaknesses of an encryption system -- could subject him to enforcement actions under the D.M.C.A.. Mr. Felten understood the threat and decided not to present his paper. Largely as a result of this experience, he is now the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging the Digital Millennium Copyright Act on First Amendment grounds.
Authors have an important and legitimate interest in protecting their copyrights. The law should help authors where it can. But the law should not push its power beyond the protection of copyright, and the law should especially not criminalize activities that are central to research in encryption and security.
Adobe understands this. After extensive meetings with the nonprofit Electronic Frontier Foundation -- and widespread protests on the Internet, at Adobe's San Jose, Calif., headquarters, in Moscow and elsewhere -- Adobe announced it did not think the prosecution of Mr. Sklyarov was conducive to the best interests of the parties involved or of the industry.
Yet Mr. Sklyarov still languishes in jail, puzzled, no doubt, about how a free society can jail someone for writing code that was legal where written, just because he comes to the United States and gives a report on encryption weaknesses.Continue reading the main story

Issue date: 17 February 2017
Audit number: IA/2017-02
Rating: Satisfactory
Audit Ratings
On the basis of its audit findings, OAIS assigns an "audit rating" for each of the areas assessed during an audit as well as an overall rating for the entity audited. OAIS uses three rating categories: "satisfactory"; "partially satisfactory"; "unsatisfactory" which are common and have been agreed among all funds and programmes.
Audit Ratings – Definition
Satisfactory – Governance, risk management, internal controls and practices were adequately established and functioning well. No issues were identified that would significantly affect the achievement of the objectives of the audited entity. No high risk areas were identified. Overall, the objectives of the entity audited are likely to be achieved.
Partially Satisfactory – Governance, risk management, internal controls and practices were generally established and functioning, but needed improvement. One or several issues were identified that may negatively affect the achievement of the objectives of the audited entity. One or more high and medium risk areas were identified that may impact on the achievement of office objectives.
Unsatisfactory – Governance, risk management, internal controls and practices were either not established or not functioning well. The issues were such that the achievement of objectives of the audited entity could be seriously compromised. The majority of issues identified were high risk, and hence, on the overall, office objectives are not likely to be achieved.
Implementation Rate (% IR*): The implementation rate reflects the progress made in addressing the issues raised by the audit. The implementation rate per audit report is first displayed three months after the report's public disclosure, or the closest date to the recommendation follow-up completed by OAIS; rates are periodically updated following OAIS reviews. Audit recommendations are normally expected to be implemented within 18 months. A list of audit recommendations that are outstanding for 18 months or more is included in the OAIS annual report to the Executive Board on audit and investigations. An audit recommendation that remains outstanding more than 18 months is typically one that requires structural adjustments or that is outside the direct control of UNFPA.

South Beach Diet Friendly Chicken Noodle Soup with Thyme
|Chicken Noodle Soup, using Dreamfield's Pasta for the noodles!
Thanks to everyone who has inquired about how I'm feeling after I was sick for what seemed like months, but was really only weeks. After my doctor put me on some strong antibiotics, I'm doing much better. It was during the time I was still feeling sickly that I made this soup, something that came out of an "aha" moment when I realized I could use Dreamfields Linguini for the noodles in chicken noodle soup and it would be South Beach Diet friendly. I used leftover rotisserie chicken for the meat in this recipe, and I loved the way this soup turned out! Some of you may think this looks like a pretty unexciting recipe, but trust me, mothers everywhere who are South Beach Dieters will thank me for this!
South Beach Diet Friendly Chicken Noodle Soup
(Makes about 6 servings, recipe created by Kalyn.)
1 medium onion, diced small
1 cup diced celery (about 3 pieces of celery)
1 cup chopped carrots (cut in half or fourths, then sliced)
1 T olive oil
2 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. poultry seasoning (I use Penzeys)
8 cups homemade chicken stock (or 4 cans chicken broth and 1/2 can water)
2 cups diced cooked chicken
1/2 – 2/3 cup broken Dreamfields linguini noodles or whole wheat linguini noodles (use 1/2 cup for thinner soup or 2/3 cup for more noodles)
fresh ground black pepper
Add chicken, simmer 30 minutes more. Check to see how much liquid has evaporated and add 1/2 to 1 cup water if needed.
Turn heat up to a low but steady boil and add noodles. Simmer 20-30 minutes, until noodles are soft. Season to taste with fresh ground black pepper. Serve hot.

This article originally published on BikeRadar
Colorado-based builder Black Sheep Bikes certainly stand out from the crowd with their incredibly curvaceous titanium creations. Black Sheep brought their A-game yet again this year, winning not one, but two NAHBS awards: one for "best tandem" and another for "best titanium construction".
Black Sheep's winning tandem was a fitting tribute to the company's work with bent titanium tubing. From tip to tail, only the head tube, bottom bracket shells, seatposts, and boom tube were straight. Otherwise, every other part bore some sort of curve.
Especially noteworthy is the way the captain's top tube curves four times from the head tube back to the stoker's bottom bracket and how the seat stays follow a graceful S-bend from the rear dropouts to the down tube. Additional curved struts reinforce the extended seat tubes, too, and Black Sheep have even figured out a novel solution for independently adjusting the stoker handlebar height relative to the captain's saddle.
And then there's Black Sheep's trademark truss-style fork. And the custom titanium backswept handlebars. And did we mention that it was a tandem snow bike? Ok, we'll stop now.
The other award-winner was a bike commissioned by University of Iowa, which will be permanently at its Museum of Art in Iowa City. According to Black Sheep, this bike showcases the best of what the company has to offer, including integrated front and rear tubular titanium racks, curved main frame tubing, a truss-style fork, and, of course, fat bike wheels and tires. To top it off, Black Sheep dressed it up with a selectively masked and media blasted finish that should last for an eternity.
Though it didn't win an award, Black Sheep also debuted a new full-suspension snow bike with 90mm of travel front and rear. The fork is based on the company's usual truss model but with the entire structure floating on a pair of aluminum linkages and a Fox Float RP23 shock. Meanwhile, the rear end pivots about a flat chainstay plate and drives another Fox Float RP23 with a seat tube-mounted aluminum link.

Black Sheep's usual truss titanium fork is augmented with aluminum linkages and a Fox shock that provides 90mm of travel.

State Record Yellowfin Tuna Division
Added to 2018 Mississippi Gulf Coast Billfish Classic
MGCBC tournament officials today announced an additional division to the 2018 contest, which will be held June 4-10 at the Golden Nugget Casino and Hotel. With a base entry, teams may also enter the optional $200 cash jackpot division set aside for a new Mississippi record yellowfin tuna. The registered team that breaks the current 205.8-pound mark will win a cash prize of $500,000. Combined with the base entry payout and maximum optional entries, the total payout could reach $750,000.
"Capt. Jimmy Crochet of Conundrum was at the helm of She's The One when angler Rob Landingham boated the current Classic record in 2001," says tournament marketing director Robbie Carter. "That fish weighed 205.8 pounds and was 70.5 inches long. It earned the team $132,725 in prize money and a new Ford Expedition."
In order to qualify for the new record yellowfin prize money (covered by a guaranteed insurance policy), the angler must record a legal and verified catch that breaks the official Mississippi saltwater conventional tackle record during the Classic tournament hours of 11:01 a.m. June 7 until 6 p.m. June 10, 2018. Tying the existing record will not win the special prize money, but the new mark is certainly within reach. Fourteen-year-old Ryan Cooper, fishing aboard his dad's boat CE, topped the yellowfin field last year with a 201.6-pound entry. A 210-pounder was weighed at the Venice Louisiana Marina a few weeks ago.
"The Classic is known throughout the Gulf big-game circuit for its record-breaking fish, so adding this division just keeps the tradition going," Carter says. "We're currently at 121 teams registered, and those are among the top crews in the sport. So I'm pretty confident we'll be re-writing the record book by the time scales close Saturday night."
It was at the Classic in 2002 that angler Barry Carr and the team aboard Sea Wolff brought the all-tournament blue marlin to the scales. That grander, which weighed 1,054,6 pounds, is also the all-time largest blue marlin recorded in the Gulf of Mexico. New state records were set for bluefin tuna (1999), and bigeye tuna (2011) in addition to She's The One's fish in 2001. A new swordfish standard was set last year when Scott Cothran and the team on Pay Dirt boated a 242.54-pound broadbill.
Classic contestants will be angling for the top weights of blue marlin (with a 107-inch minimum length requirement), swordfish, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, and dolphin. Smaller blues, along with white marlin, sailfish and spearfish successfully released, could earn thousands of dollars in the highly competitive release division.

Increased Chance Of El Nino This Year, Australian Weather Agency Says -

SYDNEY, Feb 11 (Reuters) – Australian climate models indicate an increased chance of an El Nino weather pattern emerging later this year, the country's weather bureau said on Tuesday, raising the risk of drought and floods in some parts of the world.
The forecast comes after the U.S. Climate Prediction Center last week also said there was an increasing chance of El Nino after expecting neutral conditions through the Northern Hemisphere spring 2014.
"The risk of an El Nino event in the second half of 2014 has increased, but it's certainly not guaranteed at this point in time," said Andrew Watkins, Supervisor, Climate Prediction at Australia's Bureau of Meteorology.
Watkins said early indications suggested that the weather pattern could arrive as early as June, though the prospect would not become clear until the second quarter.
El Nino can cause flooding and heavy rains in the United States and South America and can trigger drought conditions in Southeast Asia and Australia.
Large parts of Australia's east coast states have already been suffering from drought, damaging crops and livestock production in Queensland. (Editing by Ed Davies)

Monsanto Co. announced its largest stock buyback plan to boost investor returns after the seed company ended preliminary talks about a takeover of Syngenta AG that would have cut its tax bill.
The company intends to finance the $10 billion of repurchases over two years with debt. That will shift its capital structure from a net cash balance to net debt of 1.5 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization by the end of August 2015, St. Louis-based Monsanto said today in a statement.
Monsanto also raised its full-year earnings forecast and posted better-than-expected fiscal third-quarter profit. The shares rose as much 6.8 percent, the most in two years.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Hugh Grant laid out plans to double earnings per share in five years, supported by further gains in its genetically modified seed operations and newer businesses such as precision farming. The share buybacks are bigger than expected and will lower the share count by about 15 percent, said Mark Gulley, a New York-based analyst at BGC Financial LP.
"They have listened to shareholders and they are taking advantage of very strong fundamentals," Gulley, who recommends buying the shares, said by phone today.
Monsanto, the world's largest seed producer, and Syngenta, a $35 billion competitor, recently explored the idea of a merger in discussions with their advisers, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News June 23. Such a deal would have moved Monsanto's tax location to Switzerland. The management of Syngenta, the biggest crop-chemicals maker, decided against negotiations, the people said.
Inversion Deals
The mooted transaction follows other so called tax- inversion deals that would allow other U.S. companies to free up cash held outside the country. At the end of February Monsanto had more cash on hand than debt.
Monsanto said in April it spent more than $1.5 billion to buy back almost 3 percent of its shares over 12 months. The company has $1.1 million remaining on a prior repurchase authorization and $6 billion of the new $10 billion program will be "accelerated," Monsanto said today.
The company forecast ongoing earnings of $5.10 to $5.20 a share in the year that ends Aug. 31, up from a previous prediction of $5 to $5.20.
Net income was $1.62 a share in the quarter that ended May 31, compared with $1.66 a year earlier and beating the $1.55 average of 21 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Sales in the quarter were little changed at $4.25 billion, trailing the $4.41 billion average estimate.
Intacta Forecast
Gross profit from seeds and genetic licenses rose 2.2 percent to $1.86 billion, driven by a 25 percent gain in earnings from soybeans. Other seed units also posted higher profit, except for corn, Monsanto's largest business, which declined 13 percent.
Sales of Intacta, a new insect-killing modified soybean developed for the Latin American market, may quadruple to 12 million acres (4.9 million hectares) next year, Monsanto also said.
Monsanto was 6.3 percent higher at $128.28 at 9:36 a.m. in New York, after earlier rising the most intraday since October 2011. Syngenta dropped after Monsanto announced its earnings, declining 2.4 percent to 337.50 Swiss francs in Zurich.

Chris Christie hits nerve with anti-Congress rant
New Jersey's outspoken governor, Chris Christie, shocked even long-time followers with his rant against Congress and House Speaker John Boehner. Did the presumptive presidential candidate put his foot in his mouth, or just say what a lot of Americans are thinking?
Christie and other political leaders in New York and New Jersey went ballistic on Wednesday when they learned that Boehner had delayed a vote on emergency aid for Hurricane Sandy victims.
Boehner made the decision in the heat of the dramatic fiscal cliff drama on New Year's Day, and apparently didn't have time to explain it directly to local leaders like Christie, Peter King, Andrew Cuomo and Chuck Schumer.
Christie and Cuomo issued a joint press release slamming Boehner, and then reporters learned that Christie had scheduled a press appearance to speak his mind about Boehner and the GOP congressional leadership.
The New Jersey governor has made his reputation verbally beating down his opponents in a colorful, expressive way, chock full of sound bites.
In this case, it was Christie, a presumed GOP presidential primary candidate, ripping, shredding, and castigating most of his own party's leaders.
Christie went out of his way, however, to praise the number-two Republican leader in the House, Eric Cantor, for making an effort to keep politicians in the loop about the vote on the Sandy relief measures.
"There is only one group to blame for the continued suffering of these innocent victims: the House majority and their speaker, John Boehner," said Christie, laying out his case like the former prosecutor he is.
Then came the quotes that will surface again in the 2016 campaign if Christie chooses to run.
Link: Why Americans will really, really hate Congress in 2013
"Disaster relief was something that you didn't play games with. But now in this current atmosphere everything is the subject of one-upmanships, everything is a possibility, a potential piece of bait for the political game," Christie said, reading from prepared remarks. "It is why the American people hate Congress."
Within hours, Boehner scheduled two votes on the Hurricane Sandy relief package: one this week and one on January 15.
"Getting critical aid to the victims of Hurricane Sandy should be the first priority in the new Congress, and that was reaffirmed today with members of the New York and New Jersey delegations. The House will vote Friday to direct needed resources to the National Flood Insurance Program. And on January 15th, the first full legislative day of the 113th Congress, the House will consider the remaining supplemental request for the victims of Hurricane Sandy," say Boehner and Cantor said in a joint statement released after Christie's press conference.
One topic of debate on Thursday was that Christie either ruined his chances of becoming the GOP nominee because of his candor, or he became the frontrunner in 2016.
The National Journal's Ron Fournier labeled Christie as the "smartest man in politics" for the governor's full assault on the House leadership.
"The 2016 presidential election is ripe for the emergence of a game-changing political leader who either dramatically reforms one of the existing parties or mounts an independent bid," he said.
How other Republican leaders feel about Christie remains to be seen, especially since Christie's storm-damage tour with President Barack Obama was viewed as a factor in Mitt Romney's decisive defeat in November.

Why Americans will really, really hate Congress in 2013
Within New Jersey, Christie's popularity rating is about 70 percent in a state that has voted for Democrats in recent presidential elections.
Meanwhile, public opinion about Congress seems to be near all-time lows.
On December 19, Congress had an approval rating of 18 percent in a Gallup survey, but much of that rating was based on assumptions it would fully deal with the fiscal cliff before January.
Its all-time low Gallup rating was 10 percent, in February 2012 and August 2012, and it wouldn't be surprising to see a similar number in early 2013 as two more fiscal cliff battles are fought in Congress.
Three polls from other groups showed similar results, and the Associated Press-National Constitution Center poll last fall showed that Congress was the third-least trusted of all American institutions, only ranking ahead of online news websites and blogs.
In a more recent Gallup poll, a large number of Americans said they were pessimistic about the future in general. About half of those polled said America had already seen its best days, and 65 percent expected a bad economic year in 2013—one of the lowest numbers for that question since 1965.
If voters relate their unhappiness with Congress to the 2014 midterm elections, Christie's words could come back to haunt both parties, depending on how they are used.

Radiation to the chest after previous radiation for breast cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My mother had radiation for breast cancer two years ago. She now has been diagnosed with lung cancer. She will have the spot removed, but one doctor said she needs radiation and the other said she could not have it again. Can you give us some feedback?
Stephen M. Hahn, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology and the Division of Hematology/Oncology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
This really depends on the type of radiation fields that were used. Although it is difficult to give radiation therapy twice to the same area due to normal tissue toxicity, there are exceptions to this rule. Even though there may be some overlap between the previous breast radiation fields and the current lung fields, typically it is minimal and not over critical structures. Usually, radiation could be given again in this situation but a review of the radiation fields is needed to determine if it is possible. You should meet with a radiation oncologist to have discussions about the possibility of having radiation again.

***Spoiler Alert: this review is pretty much one giant spoiler. The good news is, the film stinks, so you're not going to miss much.****
IMDB: tt0337593
There really needs to be a law that if a person isn't a Sherlock Holmes fan, has never read any of the stories, and barely passed basic history, they shouldn't be allowed to write a screenplay using the character. This was such a ham-fisted story, I was actually laughing. The premise is the "beginning" of Holmes as a character. The film attempts to portray the reasons why Holmes is a drug user, his fixation on Moriarty, and his relationships with Mycroft, Watson, Lestrade, and women in general, all of which have already been established by the author to some degree and are really just superficial details to the point of the stories: the mysteries and the emerging science of forensics. I'm not opposed to a novel rendition or understanding of the character so long as it stays close to the character. What most Holmes fans wish to see are stories that stay true to the time and characters, but involve new mysteries, which apparently screen writers are unable to accomplish.
In the beginning of this film, Holmes appears to have killed Professor Moriarty, who turns out not to be a respected professor of such high intelligence that he runs a complex and far-reaching criminal enterprise filled with a vast array of minions and paid thugs, but is instead a simple-minded drug dealer at a time when doing so was not illegal. Holmes meets Lestrade for the first time with the result that Holmes isn't arrested for murder simply because he informs Lestrade that the person he killed is Moriarty, the non-criminal criminal, whose body conveniently fell into the sewer system & floated away. At another non-criminal drug dealer's request, Holmes attends the autopsy of yet another non-criminal drug dealer and meets Watson, a rotund loud mouth with all the caring, grace, and intelligence of a bar room drunkard. Holmes's female interest is a slum "actress" (a-hem: whore) played by Gabrielle Anwar, prior to her current mutation into Skeletor so that she is at least viewable, with a heart of gold and strong morals despite her social status. We see neither hide nor hair of Mrs. Hudson, which is extremely convenient as Holmes beds plenty of low class women in his apartment with nary an STD, pregnancy, or social repercussion and it firmly puts to rest the question of his sexual orientation (don't get excited about this, there aren't any sex scenes, just after-glow bed scenes). Moriarty is played by D'onofio, who does a good job portraying a slightly crazed drug dealer which unfortunately causes him to fall squarely on his face trying to portray an evil, menacing genius criminal mastermind who can charm all the Lords and Ladies.
Not to give to much away on this plot (I'm going to anyway), but you can pretty much guess most of it simply based on the idea that this film is trying to explain the facts surrounding the character of Holmes. Mycroft was a victim of Moriarty and is now crippled (not merely lazy & certainly not influential in any other capacity); Moriarty's big brilliant plan is a new drug that will force the government to make drug use illegal (because all the social problems caused by drug addiction aren't enough), thereby making him a criminal drug dealer (because that is really advantageous to sales); this drug needs a new name that should be "heroic" (how long do you think it took the writers to come up with that one?); Holmes can't get married or father a child and needs to be so emotionally broken that he'll never become attached to another female again; he also can't voluntarily be a drug user, he must be an addicted victim; Watson needs to become friends with Holmes and move in with him for no reason what so ever; and we have to kill Moriarty again so he can fall into some more water and show back up in the sequel. Sprinkled throughout the film are little lessons for the benefit of the audience: legalizing drugs is good, being an addict is bad but it's not your fault you're an idiot who started, cigarettes are bad, pipe smoking (for some stupid reason) is a healthy way to smoke tobacco, drinking is good, casual sex is good and consequence free, people fall eternally in love with each other in about 2 hours but are doomed to fail so love is bad, and the usual: cops are stupid.
Although I can't say this film is unwatchable, it is extraordinarily predictable, making it dull, lifeless, and boring. The forced social "lessons", the clunky dialog, and the obvious shoehorning of some quintessential Sherlockian folklore & character development into a 90 minute program to justify the "Sherlock" title does make for painful and embarrassing viewing.

The Tuscaloosa County Bar Association will offer free legal advice from 3 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Tuscaloosa County Extension Office, 2513 Seventh St.
The Tuscaloosa County Bar Association will offer free legal advice from 3 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Tuscaloosa County Extension Office, 2513 Seventh St.
"When you have individuals who cannot afford representation, it's a necessary program that allows them to have access to information and to protect their rights," said Jeff Smith, president of the Tuscaloosa County Bar Association.
The free legal advice will be given in conjunction with Pro Bono Week, a nationwide effort to help low-
income people who need direction in civil legal matters.
Typically, people can call the Alabama State Bar Volunteer Lawyers Program (1-800-354-6154) any day of the week. Callers will be transferred to an attorney closest to them who is knowledgeable in the field of their concern.
For the first time, Tuscaloosa County Bar Association and American Bar Association have partnered with the Tuscaloosa County Extension Office so that folks will have a standing clinic where they can go at least once a month to be matched with an attorney who can help them, Smith said.
Two more sessions will be offered after Tuesday, and both will be at the same location, one on Nov. 22 and the other on Dec. 17. Smith said more sessions are planned, but the location is subject to change after Dec. 17.
Smith said the sessions are designed to help people with legal issues related to divorce, custody, visitation, debts, bankruptcy, foreclosure, landlord/tenant issues or domestic violence.
He said that people should come to the free session with relevant papers and documentation to improve the quality of their assistance.
