In South Africa, threats to press cloud Human Rights Day
As South Africa celebrated Human Rights Day on March 21, the country was beset by uncertainty on the fate of media freedom and the ability of the press to report without state interference.

As South Africa celebrated Human Rights Day on March 21, the country was beset by uncertainty on the fate of media freedom and the ability of the press to report without state interference.
Attacks on the Press | Angola, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Somalia, South Africa, Uganda, Zimbabwe
By Mohamed Keita
Across the continent, the emergence of in-depth reporting and the absence of effective access-to-information laws have set a collision course in which public officials, intent on shielding their activities, are moving aggressively to unmask confidential sources, criminalize the possession of government documents, and retaliate against probing journalists. From Cameroon to Kenya, South Africa to Senegal, government reprisals have resulted in imprisonments, violence, threats, and legal harassment. At least two suspicious deaths--one involving an editor, the other a confidential source--have been reported in the midst of government reprisals against probing news coverage.

By Chris Gray and Matthew Keever TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION (Honorable Mention 2) Some of our more genteel readers may be wondering who the hell Texas Hippie Coalition even is, not to mention how they landed on a list that purports to (informally) rank the Lone Star State's biggest rock stars.

Quietly, the Roxy shut its doors several months back after billing itself for years as Houston's "longest-running nightclub."

There's an old saying in the music industry that you have your whole life to make your first album but six months to a year for your second. This is almost the reverse.

Houston is often criticized or lampooned by people from other parts of the country, but all that really means is that this city is notable enough to draw fire.

Urban Cowboy Reunion Tour Feat. Mickey Gilley & Johnny Lee Stafford Centre June 25, 2014 Urban Cowboy has had an unusual half-life.

Have you watched Urban Cowboy lately? It's actually on Netflix right now if you never have.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, if about 185,000 copies of Madonna's MD ... More >>
While Houston played a huge part in the early history of country music, by the end of the 1950s a new breed of artist was coming on the scene.

It's one of God's little jokes that no matter how hard we try, we really can only do one thing at a time.

GRANDVILLE, Mich. (WOOD) Thousands of fires are started each year by clogged dryer vents. Our expert Ken Hancock, of Hancock Chimney Services, knows all about how to keep your home safe.
Every time your dryer cycle goes on, some lint goes past your screen and goes into the vent system. If it's not cleaned out, it causes you to waste energy because dryers have to work harder and it takes longer for clothes to dry. It also increases the risk of fire because the vents are clogged with a flammable material. Hancock Chimney Services recommends you get your dryer vents cleaned every year to prevent fire hazard.
A new product called the "No Pest Vent" is made by local company Prototech. It prevents birds from entering and building nests inside your vents.
Hancock Chimney Services is offering a special for eightWest viewers. Mention you saw the segment on eightWest and get $25 off an inspection, sweep, or vent cleaning. Just call (616) 534-4228 or (616) 396-4046 to make an appointment.

Neutron Stars and Pulsars

moreNeutron stars are the most compact astronomical objects in the universe which are accessible by direct observation. Studying neutron stars means studying physics in regimes unattainable in any terrestrial laboratory. Understanding their observed complex phenomena requires a wide range of scientific disciplines, including the nuclear and condensed matter physics of very dense matter in neutron star interiors, plasma physics and quantum electrodynamics of magnetospheres, and the relativistic magneto-hydrodynamics of electron-positron pulsar winds interacting with some ambient medium. Not to mention the test bed neutron stars provide for general relativity theories, and their importance as potential sources of gravitational waves. It is this variety of disciplines which, among others, makes neutron star research so fascinating, not only for those who have been working in the field for many years but also for students and young scientists. The aim of this book is to serve as a reference work which not only reviews the progress made since the early days of pulsar astronomy, but especially focuses on questions such as: 'What have we learned about the subject and how did we learn it?' less

Cross Training Your Feet: Build a better pointe by strengthening underused foot and ankle muscles
Choreography Knocks: Opportunities for choreographers at all levels
A Growing List of Living Female Choreographers
We want your feedback!
By Kina Poon
Everyone knows that Ailey dancers are some of the hardest working performers in the biz—they spend five months on the road bringing their luscious dancing to an appreciative audience worldwide, in addition to two seasons here at home in NYC. (We're eagerly anticipating the amazing rep of the December run.)
This weekend, the company dancers are looking towards the (hopefully) distant future. All proceeds from "Dance Works Unhinged," a self-produced show at the Ailey Citigroup Theater, benefit the Ailey Dancers' Resource Fund. ADRF sets money aside for current and former Ailey dancers for career transitions, choreographic projects, and for loans for injury-related emergencies. (We can't stress how much we support this kind of proactive thinking about your life outside of performing.)
In addition to helping a great cause, the audience is in for an additional treat: We'll get to see what 10 Ailey dancers do as choreographer, working with dancers they know intimately—their fellow company members. Hope Boykin, Sean A. Carmon, Vernard J. Gilmore, Megan Jakel, Yannick Lebrun, Jamar Roberts, Matthew Rushing, Kanji Segawa, Jermaine Terry, and Marcus Jarrell Willis will all contribute pieces. And we're lucky that this performance benefit, which started in 1996, is back after a five-year hiatus, which was due to the Ailey dancers' jam-packed tour schedule.
Purchase tickets to "Dance Works Unhinged," running Saturday, July 20th at 7:30PM and Sunday, July 21st at 3:00PM, here.

The dining room in this year's Show House easily could accommodate a classic Queen Anne dining set. But for designers Christy North and Tracy Miles, that predictability is anachronistic and somewhat out of touch with modern lifestyles.
The guest bedroom in this year's Show House is, well, simply irresistible. True to form, the designers at Diane Breckenridge Interiors didn't skimp on a thing, resulting in beautiful sleeping quarters that envelop the lucky inhabitant in layers of softness and comfort.
At first glance, the original space reminded the June Roesslein team of an old-time ice-cream parlor, according to Smith, who, along with McGovern, designed what's being labeled the 'bonus room' in this year's Show House. The trim, chair rail and shutters had been painted bright red, and the walls were covered with red-and-tan-striped wallpaper. Café curtains had the unfortunate effect of preventing most of the available natural light from entering the small room. Additionally, the chair rail visually cut the walls in half and made the ceiling feel lower than its actual 8-foot height. On the upside, the room featured a fireplace with a pretty dark wood mantel, a vintage wood floor and attractive millwork that could be transformed into an architectural asset, albeit after many coats of paint.

Welcome to # 23 Lenox Place, a grand Edwardian-style home designed by renowned architect Guy Mariner. Built in 1904, the three-story house features restrained elements that were, at the time of construction, a major deviation from the over-opulent Beaux Arts period that was coming to an end. Along a private street in a coveted neighborhood, No. 23 is one of twenty-three homes that were built between the years of 1903 and 1906. Its most recent owners, Dr. Coy and Rachel Fitch, made this their home for the last quarter of a century, where entertained friends and family, as well as gathered with colleagues and community leaders to raise money for civic causes that were important to them. Now, take a deep breath and enjoy your step back in time, while each designer brings you aesthetically to the present.
The work of local artist Kyle Lucks extends further than the watercolors LN readers have grown to know, encompassing a variety of media and subject matters.
Our second Show and Tell installment introduces you to four more design teams participating in the 2013 LN Show House. The third annual Show House, at #23 Lenox Place, is open to the public Oct. 5 through Oct. 20.

"One of the most important professional relationships a client will have is with their financial advisor," says Carole Wentz, branch manager overseeing Merrill Lynch's St. Louis Metro Complex. As such, she says, it's a decision not to take lightly. "They should choose someone they trust and are comfortable with. A trusting client-advisor relationship is key to success, and it's so much more than just investment performance. They should really have someone who helps them identify and set their goals, and who works with them holistically."
When a young family returned to the States after spending several years in Shanghai, China, they brought back authentic Asian pieces to incorporate into the design of their modern Des Peres home. Michael Wyrock, a senior design consultant for I. O. Metro, helped bring the home's Asian-inspired living room to life.

Just when it seems like the ethnic design trend has run its course, these out-of-the-ordinary patterns demonstrate their staying power. In fact, designers say ikat, susani, and batik-inspired patterns are so enduring, they've become staples in American design, just like traditional and modern.
The Radenold Kitchen, Doubletree Lane
Despite featuring neutral aspects such as white cabinetry and black granite countertops with charcoal specks, this kitchen reads as bright, light, airy and—dare we say it—colorful. With pops of citrine and red throughout, just enough color was added to create a comfortable, non-cluttered, space. The rounded trapezoid center island acts as a workspace and eating area, with the additional bonus of storage. The unique shape "really maximizes the space and storage in the kitchen" says designer Paul Alan, store manager of I.O. Metro. The barstools, which feature a different metal tone than the hardware and appliances, keep the kitchen from looking too matched. "It gives it that 'found look.' Not everything has to coordinate." To bounce the light around the room, various other metals, including mercury glass and gold-tinted spikes, were added in the accessories.

text: On March 23, 1996, at 1230 hours Pacific standard time, a homebuilt Scheperle Mustang II Mod, N8180T, collided with ground obstructions during a forced landing attempt near Merced, California. The forced landing was precipitated by a loss of engine power. The aircraft was owned and operated by the pilot and was on a personal cross-country flight from Fresno to Napa, California. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed. The aircraft was destroyed in the collision sequence. The pilot and passenger onboard sustained minor injuries.According to the pilot's statement, the converted Ford V6 automotive engine overheated and seized when a malfunctioning thermostat valve allowed excess pressure to build up inside the coolant system. The resulting over pressure blew out a plug in a coolant outlet from the block, which is unused in this installation. The coolant was then pumped overboard and the engine seized. The aircraft collided with fence posts during the forced landing attempt on a road.

Also, many are focusing on practices already in place throughout the world, where risk of ownership is actually transferred back to the company, enabling the rail operator to operate the system on an established fixed cost.

Oromocto RCMP and Capital Region Crime Stoppers are asking for the public's help in solving two cases of arson that happened at the same location in Noonan, N.B. In both cases, the structures were unoccupied and no one was hurt. Capital Region Crime Stoppers will pay up to $2,000.00 for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for this, or any other crime.
On August 23, 2014, shortly after 12:30 p.m., the Oromocto RCMP were called to a small island in Sheffield to investigate the case of found human remains. The remains were discovered by people walking on the island located near McGowans Corner. Investigators used the RCMP boat to reach the scene. RCMP forensic identification experts and the Coroner were also called to the scene to assist with the investigation.
Based on forensic analysis performed on the remains and clothing gathered from the scene, the remains have been identified as those of an adult male. It is believed that this person would have died within the past 6 to 18 months.
The BC Coroners Service, assisted by the Campbell River RCMP Detachment and BC Police Missing Persons Centre, is seeking the public's help in identifying a man whose remains were found in the Oyster River near Campbell River.
Preliminary anthropological examination has determined the remains to be those of a male, between 21 and 35 years of age, most likely in his 20s. He was between 163 cm and 171 cm tall (5 feet, 4 inches to 5 feet, 7 inches). He died within the past six months, most probably within the past two months. In the past, he had fractured both clavicles (collarbones), probably in separate incidents, and his nose had also been broken at some time in the past.
Clothing found with the remains included a green t-shirt with the emblem "SPLIT" on the front.
In an attempt to catch a bank robber who has evaded police for the last four years, the Canadian Bankers Association (CBA) has increased its reward for a second time since September 2011.
Dubbed the Vaulter Bandit because of his athletic ability to scale bank counters, his last robbery was committed at a TD bank in the Don Mills Rd. & Lawrence Ave. E. area on May 5. The suspect showed up at the bank at around 7 a.m. and confronted employees as they were unlocking the doors.
He produced a handgun and ordered the employees into the bank, where he managed to escape with a quantity of cash. This is believed to be the suspect's first bank robbery in Toronto since he started stealing from banks in early February 2010. He has also robbed nine banks in York region, four in Calgary and one in Ottawa.
Oromocto RCMP is investigating a break, enter and theft from an enclosed utility trailer at Oak Hill Homes on Chaparral Road in Waasis, N.B. Sometime between Friday, February 7 and Tuesday, February 11, 2014, a locked utility trailer was broken into and approximately $4000.00 worth of tools were stolen. RCMP believe that more than one suspect was involved, given the size and weight of the equipment stolen.
Oromocto RCMP and Capital Region Crime Stoppers are asking for the public's help in solving a case of arson in Maugerville, N.B. Sometime between 2:30 and 3:00 am on January 14, 2014, Oromocto RCMP received a report of a structure fire at a property located at civic #403 on the 105 Highway in Maugerville. An unknown ATV, with two occupants, was seen leaving the area around the time of the incident. The ATV was travelling at a high rate of speed, and did not have any headlights activated.
At around 30 minutes past midnight on November 11, 2013, a Public Works Employee with the Town of Riverview was struck by a vehicle as he was working on Buckingham Avenue at the intersection of Killarney Road. The worker sustained very serious injuries. He spent six weeks in hospital and could require up to a year of physical therapy before he is able to return to work.
The investigators have established that the vehicle involved would be a gold colored 2001 to 2003 Mazda Protegé ES. The driver side rearview mirror was broken off during the collision.
Each January, Crime Stoppers programs around the world celebrate Crime Stoppers Month to highlight their successes and promote one of the largest crime solving and crime fighting programs internationally. Since its inception in 1985, N.B. Crime Stoppers Inc. has helped solve nearly 7,950 cases. In addition, tips to Crime Stoppers have resulted in more than 8,500 people being arrested, $8 million in property recovered, and an estimated street value of over $67 million worth of drugs being seized.
Sometime between December 24, 2013, and January 1, 2014, one or more individuals broke into a home on Miramichi Road in Oromocto, New Brunswick. Jewelry, electronics and six firearms were stolen, including two rifles, two shotguns and two handguns.
Crime Stoppers and the Southeast District RCMP, Shediac Detachment, are looking for a suspect responsible for a home invasion in Scoudouc, New Brunswick.
On June 3, 2013, at approximately 10:30 p.m., a man, carrying a weapon and wearing a mask, entered a home on Malakoff Road in Scoudouc. The individual demanded money from the 65-year-old man living at the house. The elderly man was injured during an altercation and required medical attention.

In history, great men have come from humble levels.
During the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, Hazare was posted at the border in the Khem Karan sector. On 12 November 1965, Pakistan in an air attack, and all of Hazare's comrades were killed; he was the only survivor of that convoy. It was a close shave for Hazare as one bullet had passed by his head.[ He was driving a truck. This led him to dwell on the purpose and meaning of life and death. He came across a small booklet titled "Call to the youth for nation building" by Swami Vivekananda. He never looked back after that.
Answers (3)
People use the widest of brushes to paint everything. Its either black or white.
HAzare has said that if 25 percent of women vote 2 ban a crtain vice, it should be banned. Then won't this promote black market, which is the mother of all corruption?????
I dunno bro, I don't see how prohibitionism comes into the act of nation building. A nation should be aplace where people work hard, be loyal etc., and most of all- HAVE FUN.I am OK with ALL his objectives except prohibitionism.
Prohibitionism is a religiously inspired dikat, and has no place in a secular nation like ours.


text: 'Evil Dead' Review: Remake Slathers on Blood, not Imagination Print article Send a Tip by Christian Toto 5 Apr 2013 post a comment The 1981 film The Evil Dead wore its tiny budget with pride, replacing sturdy sets and quality makeup with gonzo camera work and one very frightened Bruce Campbell. The remake, inevitably, piles on the blood until audiences may demand a tourniquet. Evil Dead strips away the madcap spirit young director Sam Raimi brought to the original film and replaces it with a go for broke zest that's catnip to horror fans. If you can't top Raimi's loony source material, at least drown your film in bravura shock. It helps that the remake offers a crisp level of craftsmanship which sets it miles apart from the rickety Raimi material. Five 20-somethings arrive at a remote cabin, but this group isn't keen on partying. They're here to help poor Mia (Jane Levy) detox for the umpteenth time, and they hope this one will stick. When Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci) finds an odd book in the cabin bound in barb wire he simply must read it, and any Evil Dead fan will tell you what is about to be unleashed. Director Fede Alvarez's remake follows the basic beats of the original, but like a police chalk outline there are smudges along the path to sustain our interest. Demons are unleashed, our heroes suffer aplenty and we're served wink-wink moments to satiate our need for a respectful homage. Yes, there's a chain saw in play, and that rapid film effect of something sinister rummaging through the woods is blissfully intact. That leaves a series of singular gross-outs, some wonderfully old school effects sequences and a pace that ensures boredom is never an issue. We don't get to care enough about the characters, but that surely was also the case way back in 1981. The new story's internal logic isn't strictly followed, either, but that's part and parcel of how horror films tick no matter the era. Evil Dead won't be considered a classic by anyone save those who think watching a woman split her tongue in two is a sign of cinematic genius. It's a thoroughly modern production content to keep us amused without challenging viewers or attempting to one-up Raimi's crude classic. That's about the best we can hope for with today's brand of horror movie remake.

Waltham, Massachusetts-based Interleaf Inc, which explained its ideas for adding a degree of intelligence to dumb documents with its Active Documents concept last year (CI No 1,677), has taken the idea a stage or two further with Interleaf WorldView, designed to enable organisations to take text and graphic documents from virtally any source and look at them on virtually any computer - with advanced techniques for finding specific information. WorldView Press takes documents from all major word processors, desktop publishing packages, computer-aided design software and so forth, reformats them for on-line viewing; compresses them, and adds hyperlinks and a full text index. This results, it says, in a set of documents ready to be viewed on any of the computers WorldView supports - MS-DOS boxes, Macintoshes, workstations and mainframes. An end-user can view a document, attach electronic sticky notes, use the hyperlinks and full text retrieval capabilities, zoom in, and print a copy on any standard printer. The company wants to get the product widely adopted, so WorldViewer costs manufacturers just $10 in volume. An end-user licence costs $200. The WorldView Press, designed for document producers, costs $10,000. It takes input in PostScript, WordPerfect, Microsoft Word RTF, WordStar, HPGL, PICT, MacDraw, MacPaint, TIFF, CGM and SGML formats, and others. It prints hard copy on PostScript, PCL and Epson-compatible printers. Interleaf will also support Adobe Systems Inc's planned format for electronic distribution when it is available. WorldView will view those files, and Interleaf 5 document creation product will output files in that format. Next quarter, WorldView Press will be available on RISC-based workstations, and WorldViewer will be available on MS Windows, and on Unix workstations under Motif and Open Look. After mid-year, WorldViewer will also be up on the Macintosh and under MS-DOS, with the IBM MVS version to follow. Supported workstations will include Hewlett-Packard and Apollo, Data General, Digital Equipment Corp, IBM Corp, Silicon Graphics Inc and Sun Microsystems Inc.

'Thanks' and 'goodbye'
Date: May 26, 2011
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
For 14 years, Jim Ley served as Sarasota County administrator.
It took just minutes for him to say his final goodbyes after the County Commission accepted his resignation Wednesday.
Caught up in a procurement-department scandal that took place under his watch, Ley offered his resignation during the Tuesday, May 24 commission meeting.
"It's clear I have become the issue," said Ley. "I have become the lightning rod."
At Tuesday's meeting, Ley also listed his greatest achievements while in office (see sidebar below).
Commissioners accepted his resignation the following day.
The Sarasota County Commission chambers were nearly full May 25 to see the administrator go.
Television and still cameras were trained on Ley while he sat in his usual chair, third seat from the right. His facial expressions did not allude to anything out of the ordinary.
He presided over the presentation of retirement gifts for two longtime county employees — he was all smiles while he shook hands and gave out hugs.
But then it came time to discuss Ley's departure.
His attorney, Dan Bailey, detailed a mutual agreement that would pay Ley $265,000 in severance, which is an amount equal to a year's salary and benefits.
In actuality, he would have been eligible for $385,000 if the commission fired him without cause, which would mean he did not commit serious crimes while in office.
It was the subject of crimes that nearly derailed the resignation.
Commissioner Joe Barbetta insisted the agreement include a clause that stated, "During my tenure as county administrator, I have not violated any laws."
"I'm not casting aspersions," said Barbetta. "But every (county) employee has to sign that. I don't see why the county administrator is any different."
Barbetta's point was that if it was discovered later that Ley did commit a crime related to the procurement scandal or anything else, the county would not have to pay his severance package.
The rest of the commission did not want to include that clause.
"If we don't have an inkling of evidence he committed a crime, why would he be singled out?" asked Commissioner Jon Thaxton.
With the resignation package now in agreement, Ley thanked his wife, county residents and his staff, whom he called "a lean, mean dedicated machine."
He walked down the row of commission seats, again shaking hands and giving hugs, before walking out the backdoor, leaving his seat empty.
Commissioners nominated Major Kurt Hoffman, of the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, as the interim county administrator, while they conduct a national search for a permanent replacement.
Ley's legacy
During his parting words, Jim Ley recited a list of what he believed were his greatest achievements during his 14 years as Sarasota County administrator.
• Lowered property taxes by nearly 25%
• Achieved a Triple-A bond rating — one of only a few dozen counties in the U.S. to do so.
• Kept per-capita cost of government flat to declining and per-capita number of employees flat to declining, while serving a larger population with a robust set of services.
• Changed the county from being the most water-poor public water purveyor to the water-richest county in the region.
• Knit together a collection of private and public water and sewer franchises into a public utility.
• Virtually eliminated the flooding hazard that used to plague parts of the county.
• Preserved tens of thousands of acres of park and environmental land.
• Increased library system by one-third and modernized nearly all of the existing libraries.
• Doubled the size of the transit system.
• Expanded coverage of emergency services and quality of its staff.
• Made large investments in the road system.
• Passed two surtax extensions, enabling an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars of infrastructure.
• Built a new jail addition, while managing the jail population.
• Helped the needy, but encouraged responsibility from those same people by requiring results from the human-services grant program.
• Made community safer through wildfire mitigation.
• Passed a charter amendment that better governed uncoordinated annexations.
• Focused on the benefits of recreation tourism as a means to diversify the economy, namely creating a world-class rowing facility.
• Cited greatest accomplishment as being the quality of county staff and its attitude toward public service.
Who is Kurt Hoffman?
County commissioners tapped Maj. Kurt Hoffman of the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office to serve as the interim county administrator, while they conduct a national search for Jim Ley's permanent replacement.
Hoffman accepted the job.
"My goal will be to stabilize the role of county administrator and restore public confidence in Sarasota County government," he said. "We will move forward and find efficient ways to get the work of the people done."
Hoffman serves as the sheriff's office's administrative-division commander and its general counsel.
A former state prosecutor, he spent 20-plus years working in the criminal-justice system and is a member of the Florida Bar's labor-and-employment law and city, county and local government law sections.

- Don't let the door hit you on the way out! Mr Ley I met Jim Ley four times at different functions around town and every time my wife and I felt he was up to something shifty in just the way he talked to us, and especially the way he treated us.. It's a darn shame for all those poor people that lost jobs over the 14 years they had to fire just to support his higher than usual salary. Maybe now they will have enough sense to hire someone at a reasonable salary, no bonuses until they actually do something outstanding, and level some of those excessive upper executive salaries. Government employees are people that are supposed to be working for us - not profiting off of us to the point of putting us out of our homes.
