United Kingdom
As a Fine Arts student in California, Wiedel started photographing the Berkeley Student riots and Black Power struggles of the late 1960's. She soon discovered photography was more in tune with her restless nature than painting.
She moved to Britain in1971 and spent 5 years travelling back and forth to Ireland visiting and photographing the Irish Travellers. These photographs were first shown at The Photographer's Gallery, London and published as a book in 1976. This was the beginning of her continuing passion for working on projects that often extend over many years. The camera enables her to use her curiosity to explore and learn about people and lifestyles. Long-term projects allow her to get beyond the stereotypes and preconceptions.
In 1976, Wiedel took off with her camera to a remote Arctic settlement where the only person who spoke English was the resident priest. She moved in with an Inuit family and documented their way of life. Later in the year an educational publisher commissioned her to write and photograph a book on Iran. In 1977 she won a major Arts Bursary and spent 2 years documenting the Industrial Heartland of Britain with its last remaining coal mines, steel-mills and chain-making workshops all of which have now disappeared. In the 80's and 90's she was awarded two more major bursaries. For The Cross Chanel Photographic Mission she documented changes taking place in the town of Dover during the construction of the Channel Tunnel. For The Gainsborough Museum she worked with a writer documenting the people of Sudbury with the aim of bringing photography into the Museum. Both projects became exhibitions and books.
While continually taking on freelance work and running her photo library, Wiedel has always continued to work on the longer projects. Her two recurring interests have always been: Protest against perceived injustice and Subcultures surviving outside of the borders of society.
One of her latest projects was on St Agnes Place, a notorious squatted street in South London, whose inhabitants were finally being evicted after 30 years. She spent three years documenting the diverse range of people who lived on that street. For many years she has also been documenting Multicultural Britain including the Rastafarian community in London.
Over the years she has built up an extensive library of social issue including: protest/childbirth/education youth drugs/homelessness/disorder/policing/subcultures

British Invasion
The British Invasion was a phenomenon that occurred in the mid-1960s when rock and pop music acts from the United Kingdom,[1] as well as other aspects of British culture, became popular in the United States. Music groups The Beatles, The Kinks,[2] The Rolling Stones, and The Who[3] were at the forefront of the invasion.[4]
The rebellious tone and image of US rock and roll and blues musicians became popular with British youth in the late 1950s. While early commercial attempts to replicate American rock and roll mostly failed, the trad jazz–inspired skiffle craze,[5] with its 'do it yourself' attitude, was the starting point of several British Billboard singles.[6][7]
Young British groups started to combine various British and American styles, coalescing in Liverpool during 1962 in what became known as Merseybeat, hence the "beat boom".[8][9][10][11] That same year featured the first three acts with British roots to reach the Hot 100's summit.[12] Also that same year, the James Bond film series began[13] (see the Barry Miles reference, below) on the same date that The Beatles released their first record, "Love Me Do".[14]
Some observers have noted that US teenagers were growing tired of singles-oriented pop acts like Fabian Forte.[14] The Mods and Rockers, two youth "gangs" in 1950s England, also had an impact in British Invasion music. Bands that had a Mod aesthetic would end up becoming the most popular, but bands that were able to balance both (e.g., The Beatles) were also successful.[15]
The Invasion[edit]
On October 29, 1963 The Washington Post published the first story in the USA about the frenzy surrounding the rock group The Beatles in England.[16] The Beatles November 4 Royal Variety Performance in front of the Queen mother sparked music industry and media interest in the group.[16] During November a number of major American print outlets and two network television evening programs published and broadcast stories on the phenomenon that became known as Beatlemania.[16][17]
On December 10 CBS Evening News anchor Walter Cronkite looking for something positive to report in the wake of the assassination of US President John Kennedy ran a Beatlemania story that had been shelved the night of the assassination.[16][18] After seeing the report, 15-year-old Marsha Albert of Silver Spring, Maryland, wrote a letter the following day to disc jockey Carroll James at radio station WWDC asking "why can't we have music like that here in America?"[18] On December 17 James had Miss Albert introduce "I Want to Hold Your Hand" live on the air.[18] WWDC's phones lit up, and Washington, D.C., area record stores were flooded with requests for a record they did not have in stock.[18] James sent the record to other disc jockeys around the country sparking similar reaction.[16] On December 26 Capitol Records released the record three weeks ahead of schedule.[18] The release of the record during a time when teenagers were on vacation helped spread Beatlemania in the US.[18] On December 29 the Baltimore Sun, reflecting the dismissive view of most adults, editorialized "America had better take thought as to how it will deal with the invasion. Indeed a restrained 'Beatles go home' might be just the thing."[16] That comment proved prophetic. In the next year alone, The Beatles would have 31 different listings on the Hot 100.
On January 3, 1964 the talk show Tonight Starring Jack Paar ran Beatles concert footage licensed from the BBC "as a joke" that was watched by 30 million viewers. While this appearance has largely been forgotten, Beatles producer George Martin has said it "aroused the kids' curiosity".[16] For the January 25, 1964 edition of Cash Box magazine (on sale January 18) "I Want to Hold Your Hand" reached number one on the chart;[18] it did the same on Billboard's February 1 chart.[19] On February 7, the CBS Evening News ran a story about the Beatles' United States arrival that afternoon in which the correspondent said "The British Invasion this time goes by the code name Beatlemania".[20] Two days later (Sunday, February 9) they appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. Nielsen Ratings estimated that 45 percent of US television viewers that night saw their appearance.[11]
According to Michael Ross, "it is somewhat ironic that the biggest moment in the history of popular music was first experienced in the US as a television event." The Ed Sullivan Show had for some time been a "comfortable hearth-and-slippers experience." Not many of the 73 million viewers watching in February 1964 would fully understand what impact the band they were watching would have.[21] On April 4, the Beatles held the top 5 positions on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and to date no other act has simultaneously held even the top 3.[11][22] The group's massive chart success, which included at least two of their singles holding the top spot on the Hot 100 during each of the seven consecutive years starting with 1964, continued until they broke up in 1970.[11]
Beyond the Beatles[edit]
One week after The Beatles entered the Hot 100 for the first time, Dusty Springfield, having launched a solo career after her participation in The Springfields, became the next British act to reach the Hot 100, with "I Only Want to Be With You", which fell just short of the top 10. She soon followed up with several other hits, becoming what Allmusic described as "the finest white soul singer of her era."[23] On the Hot 100, Dusty's solo career lasted almost as long, albeit with little more than one quarter of the hits, as The Beatles' group career before their breakup.
During the next two years or so, Peter and Gordon, The Animals, Manfred Mann, Petula Clark, Freddie and the Dreamers, Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders,[24] Herman's Hermits,[25] The Rolling Stones, The Dave Clark Five,[26] The Troggs, and Donovan, and Lulu in 1967, would have one or more number one singles in the US.[8] Other Invasion acts included The Searchers,[27] Billy J. Kramer,[28] The Bachelors,[29] Chad & Jeremy,[30] Gerry and the Pacemakers,[31] The Honeycombs,[32] Them[11] (and later its lead singer, Van Morrison), Tom Jones,[33] The Yardbirds,[34] and numerous others.
On May 8, 1965, the British Commonwealth came closer than it ever had or would to a clean sweep of a weekly Hot 100's Top 10, lacking only a hit at number two instead of "Count Me In" by the US group Gary Lewis & The Playboys.[35] That same year, half of the twenty-six Billboard Hot 100 chart toppers (counting The Beatles' "I Feel Fine" carrying over from 1964) belonged to British acts. The British trend would continue into 1966 and beyond.[36] British Invasion acts also dominated the music charts at home in the United Kingdom.[37]
British Invasion artists played in styles now categorized either as blues-based rock music or as guitar-driven rock/pop.[37] A second wave of the invasion occurred featuring acts such as The Who, The Zombies,[38] and The Hollies, which were influenced by the invasion's pop side and US rock music.[37]
The musical style of British Invasion artists, such as the Beatles, was influenced by earlier US rock 'n' roll, a genre which had lost some popularity and appeal by the time of the Invasion. Other white British performers, particularly The Rolling Stones and The Animals, appealed more to an 'outsider' demographic, essentially reviving and popularizing, for young people at least, a musical genre rooted in the rhythm and blues culture,[39] which had been largely ignored or rejected when performed by black US artists in the 1950s.[40] Such acts were perceived by the US public as much more 'edgy' and even dangerous. This image marked them as separate from beat artists such as the Beatles, who had become a more acceptable, parent-friendly pop group. The Rolling Stones would become the biggest band other than The Beatles to come out of the British Invasion,[41] topping the Hot 100 eight times.[42]
"Freakbeat" is a term given to British Invasion acts, particularly British Blues and Garage Rock acts, that remained obscure to US listeners. Though popular charting bands in the UK, the Pretty Things, Soft Machine and Status Quo are all acts that are associated with Freakbeat.[43]
MSNBC has claimed that British Acts came to the United States to save on taxes and that the American Federation of Musicians became "convinced that British bands were getting a disproportionate share of musician's income".[21]
The emergence of a relatively homogeneous worldwide "rock" music style about 1967 marked the end of the "invasion".[8]
Outside of music[edit]
Outside of music other aspects of British arts became popular in the US during this period and led US media to proclaim the United Kingdom as the center of music and fashion.
The Beatles movie A Hard Day's Night marked the group's entrance into film.[8] Mary Poppins, released on August 27, 1964 and starring English actress Julie Andrews as the titular character, became the most Oscar-winning and Oscar-nominated Disney film in history, and My Fair Lady, released on December 25, 1964, starring British actress Audrey Hepburn as Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle, won eight Academy Awards.[44]
Besides the Bond series which commenced with Sean Connery as James Bond in 1962, films with a British sensibility such as the "Angry Young Men" genre, What's New Pussycat? and Alfie styled London Theatre. A new wave of actors such as Peter O'Toole and Michael Caine intrigued the US audiences.[14] Four of the decade's Academy Award winners for best picture were British productions, with the epic Lawrence of Arabia, starring O'Toole as British army officer T. E. Lawrence, winning seven Oscars in 1963.[45]
Fashion and image marked the Beatles out from their earlier US rock and roll counterparts. Their distinctive, uniform style "challenged the clothing style of conventional US males", just as their music challenged the earlier conventions of the rock and roll genre.[40] "Mod" fashions, such as the mini skirt from "Swinging London" designers such as Mary Quant and worn by early supermodels Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton and other models, were popular worldwide.[46][47][48][49][49][50][51]
Even while longstanding styles remained popular, US teens and young adults started to dress "hipper". The evolution of the styles of the British Invasion bands also showed in US culture, as some bands went from more clean cut to being more hippie.[21]
The British Invasion had a profound impact on the shape of popular music. It helped internationalize the production of rock and roll, establishing the British popular music industry as a viable centre of musical creativity,[52] and opening the door for subsequent British performers to achieve international success.[37] In America the Invasion arguably spelled the end of instrumental surf music,[53] pre-Motown vocal girl groups, the folk revival (which adapted by evolving into folk rock), and (for a time) the teen idols that had dominated the American charts in the late 1950s and 60s.[54] Television shows that featured uniquely American styles of music, such as Sing Along with Mitch and Hootenanny, were quickly canceled and replaced with shows such as Shindig! and Hullabaloo that were better positioned to play the new British hits, and segments of the new shows were taped in England.[55][56]
It dented the careers of established R&B acts like Chubby Checker and temporarily derailed the chart success of certain surviving rock and roll acts, including Fats Domino and Elvis Presley.[57] It prompted many existing garage rock bands to adopt a sound with a British Invasion inflection and inspired many other groups to form, creating a scene from which many major American acts of the next decade would emerge.[58] The British Invasion also played a major part in the rise of a distinct genre of rock music and cemented the primacy of the rock group, based around guitars and drums and producing their own material as singer-songwriters.[59]
Though many of the acts associated with the invasion did not survive its end, many others would become icons of rock music.[37] The claim that British beat bands were not radically different from US groups like The Beach Boys and damaged the careers of African-American and female artists[60] has been the subject of controversy about the Invasion, even though the Motown sound actually increased in popularity during that time.
Other US groups also demonstrated a similar sound to the British Invasion artists and in turn highlighted how the British 'sound' was not in itself a wholly new or original one.[61] Roger McGuinn of The Byrds, for example, acknowledged the debt that American artists owed to British musicians, such as the Searchers, but that "they were using folk music licks that I was using anyway. So it's not that big a rip-off."[62] The US Sunshine pop group The Buckinghams and the Beatles influenced US Tex-Mex act the Sir Douglas Quintet adopted British sounding names,[63][64] and San Francisco's The Beau Brummels took their name from the same-named English dandy.[65] Roger Miller had a 1965 hit record with a song entitled "England Swings".[66] Englishman Geoff Stephens (or John Carter) reciprocated the gesture ala Rudy Vallée a year later in The New Vaudeville Band's "Winchester Cathedral".[67][68] Even as recently as 2003, "Shanghai Knights" made the latter two tunes memorable once again, in London scenes.[69][70]
In Australia, the success of The Seekers and The Easybeats (the latter a band formed mostly of British emigrants) closely paralleled that of the British Invasion. The Seekers had two Hot 100 top 5 hits during the British Invasion, the #4 hit "I'll Never Find Another You" in May 1965 and the #2 hit "Georgy Girl" in February 1967. The Easybeats drew heavily on the British Invasion sound and had one hit in the United States during the British Invasion era, the #16 hit "Friday on My Mind" in May 1967.[71][72]
According to Robert J. Thompson, director of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Syracuse University, the British invasion pushed the Counterculture into the mainstream.[21]
The British Invasion's influence on rock music in the United States waned from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s. Early 1970s exceptions were Badfinger, The Raspberries, and Sweet, who played a heavily British Invasion influenced style deemed power pop. In 1978 two rock magazines wrote cover stories about power pop and championed the genre as a savior to both the new wave and the direct simplicity of the way rock used to be. New wave power pop not only brought back the sounds but the fashions be it the mod style of The Jam or the skinny ties of the burgeoning Los Angeles scene. Several of these groups were commercially successful, most notably The Knack whose My Sharona was the number 1 U.S. single of 1979. A backlash against The Knack and power pop ensued but the genre over the years has continued to have a cult following with occasional periods of modest success.[73]

CD/LP/Track Review
Pat Metheny / Brad Mehldau: Metheny Mehldau (2006)
The set consists primarily of new Metheny compositionsonly the Latin-esque "Say the Brother's Name" and up-tempo "Ahmid-6" have been recorded before. Mehldau contributes the propulsive "Legend," melancholy "Unrequited" and abstractly lyrical "Annie's Bittersweet Cake."
With the exception of two quartet tracks featuring Mehldau's regular trio matesbassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jeff Ballardthe rest of Metheny Mehldau consists of duets. While the composer's identity is always clear, the strength of the other player takes the material to new places which would otherwise go unexplored if they were played in the writer's regular musical contexts.
Mehldau's support for Metheny bears a harmonic ambiguity which sounds distinct from the way Mays might interpret the same tunes. The lyricism of the gentle "Legend" may sound like pure Metheny, but Mehldau's voicings pull it closer to his own universe. One of the biggest strengths of the record is how, despite Metheny's greater compositional input, it really is a collaborative effort. Each voice remains strong and distinct, but ultimately the two players create something that sounds like both of them and, strangely, also like neither.
Metheny sticks with a warm hollowbody tone for the most part, playing steel-string acoustic on "Summer Day," which could easily be an outtake from As Falls Wichita, So Falls Wichita Falls (ECM, 1981), and baritone guitar for the even folksier closer, "Make Peace." Mehldau may not hail from the Midwest (as Metheny does), but you'd never know it.
As engaging as the duet tracks may be, the two quartet tracks provide the best glimpse into the real potential of this collaboration. Ballard's playing contrasts sharply with the equally intricate work of Metheny's current drummer, Antonio Sanchez. His fiery drumming drives both Mehldau and Methenywho brings out his trademark guitar synth on "Legend"to their most energetic solos of the set.
Word has it that this is the first of two recordingsthe second will focus more on the quartet. Metheny Mehldau works well as a record of duets, but the promise of more quartet music is exciting. Hopefully this is more than speculation, but until that's substantiated, Metheny Mehldau is a compelling meeting of two strong musical minds whose differences actually add up to greater strength.

No Sound on Playback after recording
Please I need your help!
I'm using Reason 5 ReWired in Reaper on a Mac OS. Everything worked fine but now when I record a keyboard track, there is no sound on this recorded track and also these "midi dots" are missing and are already missing while recording though the recording "stripe" is running (excuse my words, I'm not from an english speaking country ;-)) And while recording I get a sound from Reason. Reason runs in Slave Mode and I did NOT change anything and like I said, it worked the same way the last months. The only thing: When I record guitar, bass or vocals I use an interface and I have to change my audio device to the interface and back if I use Reason (due lack of USB slots). BUT again, I always did this like that and it worked. When I set up my system, I had the same problem and I had to run Reason in 32 Bit Mode and it worked. Could it be, that my system changed that back to 64 Bit? My problem is, that I can't find the point where you can change that. Many sites say go to Applications - Reason - get Information. But there I don't have this checkbox "run in 32 Bit Mode". Any solutions? Thank you in advance… |
That the exact kind of shit that confuse the hell out of me too....
I hope someone can help you (hopefully this comment will bump you to the top of the list again and someone can advise) Good luck. |
WHen I record something in the sequencer, all I am hearing back is like these thump sounds or clicks sounds. I dont know why my recordings dont play back what I put in.

Marketcetera gives hedge funds cloud-based trading
If any class of financial-services firm should have become extinct in 2008, it's the hedge fund. Hedge funds bled $154 billion in 2008, according to Lipper Hedgeworld, with 1,500 hedge funds closing shop, as reported by The New York Times.
Amazingly, however, 659 new hedge funds launched amid this financial bloodbath, and these new hedge funds are looking to build high-performance trading platforms on the cheap, a trend that bodes well for Marketcetera.
Marketcetera is now working with the New York Stock Exchange to provide a hosted, open-source hedge fund trading platform over NYSE Technologies' Secure Financial Transaction … Read more

Tom Hanks on the run through Paris in a smart fortwo: "The Da Vinci Code" celebrates its world premiere in Cannes
May 12, 2006

On Wednesday, May 17, the movie will be screened for the first time in Cannes – from Thursday, May 18, "The Da Vinci Code" will be showing in cinemas around the world. And the smart fortwo plays a spectacular role: Audrey Tautou and Tom Hanks race through the heart of Paris in the zippy two-seater. This is the second big screen appearance of the fortwo just this year. The smart has been charming moviegoers as Inspector Clouseau's official car in the remake of the classic "Pink Panther." This product placement is the second major international "Focused Marketing" activity that smart has undertaken.
In "The Da Vinci Code," the head curator of the Paris Louvre is murdered. He leaves mysterious clues of a hidden code in the works of Leonardo da Vinci. The symbologist Robert Langdon, played by Tom Hanks, is the prime suspect. But the police are not the only ones following him: an obscure sect is after him too. Its members will do anything to stop him from continuing his research. The smart demonstrates its qualities as an agile city car in a hair-raising chase scene: the smart speeds backwards along a footpath, then just makes it across the road between two freight trucks coming from opposite directions. The bestselling novel on which the film is based already has the heroes making their escape in a smart fortwo. "Director Ron Howard and the producers agreed from the start: the smart had to in the movie," explains Oliver Hoffmann, Marketing Communications Manager at smart. "After the fortwo appeared in 'The Pink Panther,' the smart is now in the limelight for a second time within a few weeks, in important scenes of a worldwide blockbuster."
Genius meets smart technology
Product placement is an integral part of the new strategic orientation of smart's marketing mix. "In order to appeal more directly to our target group, we're concentrating more than ever on promotion, product placement and sponsorship," says Anders Sundt Jensen, member of the management at smart. smart will accompany the release of the movie with a comprehensive and multifaceted advertising campaign. The campaign's claim "The mystery revealed." alludes to the enigmatic events in the movie. The campaign establishes a link between the smart and Leonardo's ingenious inventions: "The smart fortwo is ahead of its time, just like da Vinci," explains Hoffmann. "It's concept has set new standards. Thanks to its unparalleled maneuverability, there's no better car for the city."
A strong presence on the Internet and on the local level
The company has developed a topical Microsite to reach the Internet-oriented members of the "smart target group." Visitors at
enter a virtual da Vinci studio. Sketches of the fortwo, drawn in the style of da Vinci, can be seen – highlights include 360° views, showing features like the tridion safety cell integrated into the smart fortwo. An online game is the Website's biggest attraction for Internet users. Those who register have several weeks to solve three different riddles. The codes for the so-called Cryptex must be discovered – the encryption device is based on an invention of Leonardo. Visitors who come up with one correct answer qualify for an attempt at the final riddle, and a chance at one of the grand prizes: three home cinema systems. In the first two weeks alone this site was visited by just under 70,000 users. Top of the visitors table were the traditionally strong smart markets Germany and Italy.
Along with online communications, smart is addressing its target group through a number of channels like local promotions and events. For example, the "smart in the box" will be placed in a number of cities. The oversized box featuring da Vinci designs contains a fortwo, visible only through a peephole. smart dealerships will invite selected customers to a special screening of the movie. With "The Da Vinci Code," smart is applying the same formula of multifaceted measures it used successfully for "Pink Panther" to strengthen the image of the fortwo as an appealing, unconventional city car.

KEEPERS OF THE FLAMEby Tim Simmers When you're looking at a full-time newspaper job in the rear-view mirror, the road ahead can be treacherous. It can also be open and full of possibilities. With newspapers collapsing and shrinking, the freelance world is replete with journalists hustling for work after taking a buyout or getting laid off. The business climate has been brutal, and difficult to navigate for many people just starting to work independently. It can be doubly tough after leaving a secure job in the newsroom, where paychecks roll in on time. But while it's challenging, where there's danger there's opportunity. That's an old business mantra, and freelancing is a business. The survivors are writing books and magazine articles, working for elected officials, doing research and public relations, and still cranking out newspaper stories. Anything to keep that writing flame alive. Getting freelance jobs takes focus and determination. It also takes research and plenty of self-marketing. The people landing plumb writing assignments admit there's a big advantage if you know editors in good places. Continue Reading |

A messy atmosphere was not limited to the outdoors Tuesday night. It could also be found inside the gymnasium of Herbert Hoover High School.
But cleanup detail did manage to make its way to Falling Rock for the Hoover boys basketball team, and just in time.
The host Huskies upended Class AA No. 2 Ravenswood 54-51, after trailing by as many as 14 points in the fourth quarter.
"It wasn't a pretty game for us," said Hoover coach Jeff Gandee. "We didn't play well throughout the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter we did step up and our defense got more intense.
"Anytime you play Ravenswood, you've got to play well. They aren't going to beat themselves typically, so we knew we had to come out and play. We challenged our kids and they made some key plays late."
Charlton Gandee, Jeff Gandee's son, led the Huskies (3-2) with 19 points, while Cody Morris added 13.
"They've been our two top offensive players so far this year," said Jeff Gandee. "It took Cody a while to get going tonight, but once he got going they just couldn't stop him."
However, the elder Gandee was far from pleased with his team's performance from the free-throw line, where the Huskies connected on just 19-of-31 attempts.
"We had a chance to put them away, but we let them hang around," the Hoover coach said. "Anytime you do that with someone like Ravenswood, anything can happen. Very fortunate to come out with the win, but I'm not happy with our performance at the charity stripe."
Sam Schoolcraft added nine points for Hoover, all coming at key moments. Schoolcraft hit his second 3-pointer as time expired in the second quarter to cut the Ravenswood lead to 25-22, while his last came with 3:57 left in the game to give the Huskies their first lead of the night.

Albany Herald
DOTHAN, Ala. (AP) — A southeast Alabama judge has sentenced a man to a 624-year prison term in a rape and kidnapping case.
The Dothan Eagle reports that Houston County Circuit Court Judge Kevin Moulton sentenced 25-year-old Mark Anthony Beecham to the prison term Tuesday.
Beecham received 99-year prison sentences for six felony convictions: first-degree kidnapping, two counts of first-degree rape and three counts of first-degree sodomy. He also received a 20-year sentence for a felony first-degree theft of property offense and a 10-year sentence for a felony first-degree bail jumping conviction.
TELL US on Facebook: How do you feel about prison sentences and the judicial system?
A Houston County jury found Beecham guilty of all eight felony charges earlier this month.
The charges stemmed from offenses involving a woman that happened in December 2006.

As long as it took to get this through the court, the sentence will restrict his chance at recividism. Unless he lives a lot longer than most.

" Beecham received 99-year prison sentences for six felony convictions: first-degree kidnapping, two counts of first-degree rape and three counts of first-degree sodomy." If this judge doesn't get an award from the feminists they are ignoring a good man.

Persian has never been seen in battle, instead being treated as a pet. Meowth hates Persian because it was Giovanni's favorite Pokemon.

[JURIST] UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan [official profile] encouraged the US on Friday to lead the world in advancing human rights in a speech [text] at George Washington University, and criticized the Bush administration for deciding not to seek a position [JURIST report] to the new UN Human Rights Council [official website; JURIST news archive]. Annan noted that the first members of the Human Rights Council will be responsible for shaping its direction, and that US involvement would help provide a "spectacular improvement" over the former UN Commission on Human Rights, but further added that he does not think the US can ensure a "peaceful and stable future for humanity" on its own. AP has more.The new UN Human Rights Council will hold elections next week, but the US decided not to seek a seat on the council after voting against [JURIST report] the resolution [JURIST document] to create the council. The Bush administration argued that there are inadequate checks [JURIST report] to prevent membership by countries with poor human rights records. However, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Friday that future US participation on the Human Rights Council is a possibility. The list of candidates [official website; HRW analysis] for the May 9 election currently includes 43 submissions.
[JURIST] JURIST [academic website], the non-commercial legal news and research service powered by law students led by Professor Bernard Hibbitts at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law [academic website], is in a dead heat with US legal television network Court TV [corporate website] in the final hours of public polling for the annual Webby Awards "People's Voice" award for best Law website of 2006. With the poll set to close Friday at midnight Pacific Time (Saturday 3 AM ET), the last available figures provided by the Webby Awards late Wednesday afternoon put both JURIST and Court TV at 30%, followed by FindLaw [corporate website], owned by legal publishing giant Thomson Corporation, at 24 percent. New York Times-NPR collaboration Justice Learning and legal self-help site Nolo were further behind. JURIST has been riding a wave of support from law students and law professors across the United States, joined by leading lawyers and members of the general public worldwide. Voting has been going on since the 2006 Webby nominations were announced [JURIST report] in New York on April 11. Last year over 200,000 People's Voice votes were cast.Called the "Oscars of the Internet" by the New York Times and presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences [profession website], the "Webbies" are the leading international awards honoring excellence in Web design, creativity, usability and functionality. The Webby People's Voice awards run in parallel with a judges' competition; the results of both will be announced in New York on May 9.If you're reading this before Friday midnight PST (Saturday 3 AM ET), you still have time to vote and show your support for JURIST and serious documented legal news coverage with a global perspective. Just click here for the People's Voice website, then register and vote in the Law category. And please encourage your friends and colleagues to vote!
[JURIST] US Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI) [official website], chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, released a report [PDF text] by the Law Library of Congress on Friday showing that several countries have harsher policies for illegal immigrants and their employers than the US. Sensenbrenner, the primary sponsor of a House-passed immigration bill [HR 4437 summary] that has sparked protests [JURIST report] across the country, noted that five out of six countries studied, including Mexico, "make illegal entry and unlawful presence a criminal offense." Likewise, Japan, Switzerland, Sweden and Egypt can jail employers for three months to three years for hiring illegal immigrants. The Law Library of Congress found that Brazil was the only country of the six that does not have criminal penalties for illegal immigrants.The House bill would make being in the US illegally a felony; illegal entry and re-entering after deportation are currently misdemeanors, while illegal presence in the US is a civil offense. Although the House has passed the bill [JURIST report], the Senate has not voted on the proposal [JURIST report] yet. Immigrants across the country organized protests Monday, as part of the "Day Without Immigrants" [advocacy website] effort to influence Congress. AP has more.
[JURIST] John Allen Muhammad [BBC profile], representing himself, began questioning witnesses Friday in his second trial [JURIST report] involving the three-week shooting spree [BBC backgrounder] in the Washington, DC area in 2002. Jury selection in the trial began on Monday [JURIST report]. In his opening statement, Muhammad portrayed himself as a distraught father who was in Maryland to search for his children, who he lost in a custody dispute. Muhammad also told jurors that his evidence, relying on "quantum physics, immaterial evidence and material evidence," will show jurors that both Muhammad and accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo [BBC profile] are innocent. Muhammad has already been sentenced to death [JURIST report] for one murder in Virginia, and now faces six murder charges in Maryland. Malvo was also convicted of the Virginia murder and is serving a life sentence.In her opening statement, Deputy State's Attorney Katherine Winfree said the prosecution's evidence would include eye witnesses and DNA evidence implicating Muhammad. The prosecution is not seeking the death penalty [JURIST report] in this case. AP has more.
[JURIST] US Circuit Judge Harry T. Edwards on Friday criticized new Bush administration rules that make it easier for law enforcement officials to wiretap Internet phone calls during arguments in front of the federal appeals court in Washington, DC. The Federal Communications Commission [official website] created the new rules [FCC press release, PDF] last year, which mandate standards to allow wiretaps of Internet phone calls, prompting immediate objections from Internet phone providers because the rules would require them to rewire their networks at high costs. The new rules are scheduled to take effect in May 2007. Edwards was particularly skeptical of the FCC's decision to require Internet phone service providers to ensure that their equipment can accommodate police wiretaps under the 1994 Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) [text; FCC materials]. In response to the government's argument that Internet phone service could provide a "surveillance safe haven" and that Congress intended to include high speed Internet services because they are functionally equivalent to traditional telephones when it passed CALEA, Edwards told FCC lawyer Jacob Lewis that the FCC argument "makes no sense" and later called the government's courtroom arguments "gobbledygook." The court seemed to support the government's argument for Internet phone services because they are so similar to traditional telephones, but seemed to disagree with including high speed Internet access in CALEA. The FCC voted [JURIST report] on Wednesday to require [press release, PDF] Internet phone service providers to cover the cost of providing mandatory wiretap access to law enforcement.Edwards' sharp criticism of the FCC encouraged the privacy and education groups that petitioned [JURIST report] the court, including the Center for Democracy and Technology [advocacy website] and the American Council on Education [association website]. In an unrelated case last year concerning digital television, two of the same three judges threw out [opinion text, PDF] new government rules requiring anti-piracy devices; Lewis represented the FCC in that case as well. AP has more.
[JURIST] UK Home Secretary Charles Clarke [BBC profile] was dropped from Prime Minister Tony Blair's cabinet in a major cabinet shuffle [PM materials; BBC backgrounder] Friday and was replaced [press release] by John Reid [official profile], who formerly served as Defence Secretary. The shuffle, which also saw UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw replaced by Margaret Beckett [official profile], followed poor local election results for the Labour Party and a series of scandals that have plagued the government in recent weeks. Clarke came under fire in April after he admitted to a "shocking administrative blunder" that resulted in the release of 1023 foreign criminals [JURIST report] in the past seven years who were to have undergone deportation inquiries. Clarke had hoped to stay on to resolve the issue, but Blair said Friday that "it was very difficult, given the level of genuine public concern, for Charles to continue in this post."In a statement [text] Friday, Clarke said:
As I've sought to make the necessary changes to what are very deep-seated and long-standing problems, I have uncovered areas where still more and faster change is needed. One such issue is how to deal with foreign national prisoners - for which I have taken overall responsibility and on which I have staked my reputation. The prime minister, as is his right and responsibility, has made the judgement that my continued occupation of the post of home secretary is likely to stand in the way of the continued reforms which remain necessary and though I do not agree with that judgement, I entirely accept his right to make it. However, I do not think it would be appropriate to remain in government in these circumstances and return to the backbenches, where I will be a strong and active supporter of this government and the leadership of Tony Blair for his full parliamentary term.
[JURIST] A Russian jury on Friday acquitted two Chechens in the murder of American journalist Paul Klebnikov [Wikipedia profile; Economist obituary], who was the editor of Forbes magazine's Russian edition when he was shot and killed in 2004. Kazbek Dukuzov and Musa Vakhayev, charged with shooting Klebnikov, were acquitted after eight jurors voted in favor of the verdict. Four jurors would have convicted them. A third defendant, Fail Sadretdinov, was also tried [BBC report] on charges of attempted murder; there is no word yet on the jury's verdict as to Sadretdinov. All three pleaded not guilty [JURIST report] to the charges when the trial began in January.Klebnikov was shot in 2004 outside the Moscow office of the Russian edition of Forbes magazine, where he served as the magazine's editor. Russian authorities believe that Chechen rebel leader Khozh-Akhmed Nukhayev [AFP profile] allegedly ordered the killings [JURIST report] in retaliation for a book Klebnikov wrote about Nukhayev titled Conversations with a Barbarian. AP has more. MosNews has local coverage.
[JURIST] AP is reporting that Porter Goss [official profile], director of the US Central Intelligence Agency [official website] has resigned. Goss, a former CIA and Army intelligence officer who chaired the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence while a member of Congress, was nominated and approved by the Senate [JURIST reports] to head the CIA in 2004.During Goss' tenure as CIA director, the intelligence agency has come under fire for using interrogation techniques that could be construed as torture when questioning detainees. Last fall, Goss insisted that the CIA does not engage in torture [JURIST report] when interrogating detainees and said that interrogators strictly obey torture laws [JURIST report] when trying to obtain information from prisoners. The CIA has also come under scrutiny for allegations [JURIST report] that it has operated secret prisons in Europe and claims that US rendition [JURIST news archive] policies allow the transfer of terror suspects to countries known to use torture. AP has more.3:09 PM ET - Announcing the resignation Friday afternoon, Bush praised Goss as having ably led the agency, saying:
He's got a five-year plan to increase the number of analysts and operatives, which is going to help make this country a safer place and help us win the war on terror. He's instilled a sense of professionalism. He honors the proud history of the CIA, an organization that is known for its secrecy and accountability.
[JURIST] The Illinois Supreme Court [official website] said Friday that it would not reconsider its decision [text; JURIST report] ruling invalid a $10.1 billion judgment against Philip Morris USA [corporate website] in a case where the tobacco company had been found liable for defrauding customers into believing that light cigarettes were safer than regular ones. In December, the state high court ordered the trial court to dismiss the case, holding that US Federal Trade Commission [official website] regulations gave tobacco companies authority to denominate products as "light" or "low tar and nicotine" and that under the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act, companies cannot be held liable for behavior that has been specifically permitted by a regulatory body.In its order Friday, the court did not elaborate on its decision to deny the plaintiffs' request for reconsideration, but two justices dissented, saying that the court had overlooked or misunderstood several of the plaintiffs' key points. A lawyer for the plaintiffs said an appeal to the US Supreme Court is planned [Reuters report]. AP has more.
[JURIST] US Department of State legal adviser John Bellinger [official profile] defended US policies on the treatment of detainees as the UN Committee against Torture [official website] began its review Friday of US compliance with the Convention against Torture [text]. During the first of two days of hearings, the committee focused their questions [issue list, PDF] on whether the US has established criminal responsibility up the chain of command for acts of torture [JURIST news archive] by US forces and allegations that the US has used extraordinary rendition [JURIST news archive] to transfer terror suspects to countries that have been known to use torture. Bellinger said that the US is "absolutely committed to uphold its national and international obligations to eradicate torture" and that "there are no exceptions to this prohibition." Addressing reporters after the hearing concluded, Bellinger said that provisions in the torture convention that prohibit transferring detainees to countries where they could be tortured do not apply to detainee "transfers that take place outside of the United States." Bellinger did add, however, that the US has "as a policy matter, applied exactly the same standards" to such transfers.Members of the US delegation also emphasized that there have been "relatively few actual cases of abuse" of terror detainees and Bellinger said that some allegations have been widely exaggerated. Deputy US Assistant Defense Secretary Charles Stimson told the UN panel that of the 120 detainee deaths that have occurred in Afghanistan and Iraq, abuse was suspected in only 29 cases. He said that the deaths had been investigated and appropriate action taken. Stimson also said that no detainees have died at Guantanamo Bay [JURIST news archive]. The US will continue to defend its record when the committee reconvenes Monday afternoon. Reuters has more.Bellinger and Stimson's testimony comes a day after two US-based human rights groups released shadow reports highly critical of US compliance with the torture convention. The American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights Watch [advocacy websites] each submitted reports to the UN committee; the HRW Supplemental Submission to the Committee Against Torture [text] outlines "new laws, policies, and practices that reflect the continuing failure of the U.S. to fully accept its obligations under the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment." The ACLU submitted a 343-page report [PDF text; additional materials] concluding that "The U.S. government is in clear and unequivocal violation of its obligations under the Convention Against Torture." Reuters has more.
[JURIST] A Russian court has ruled that officials at the Siberian prison holding former Yukos CEO Mikhail Khodorkovsky [defense website; JURIST news archive] unfairly punished him in December by reprimanding him for leaving a prison workshop without receiving permission. The court has already annulled the reprimand once, but an appeals court overturned the decision on procedural grounds and ordered the East Siberian District Court to rehear the appeal. On Thursday, the court overturned the reprimand [press release], accepting Khodorkovsky's arguments that he left the factory to report malfunctioning equipment and that other inmates would not have been punished for similar actions. Khodorkovsky is currently serving an eight-year prison sentence [JURIST report] after being convicted [JURIST report] last year on fraud and tax evasion charges. If the reprimand had remained on his record, Khodorkovsky would be ineligible for early release. Earlier this year, Khodorkovsky was transferred to solitary confinement after officials found Justice Ministry documents on prisoners' rights in his cell, but his lawyers succeeded in obtaining a court ruling that the transfer was unlawful [JURIST report]. Khodorkovsky's lawyers are also challenging another solitary confinement punishment issued when Khodorkovsky drank tea in an unauthorized place. Reuters has more. RIA Novosti has local coverage.
[JURIST] Leading Friday's international brief, the newly formed political cabinet [JURIST report] in Nepal has agreed on the membership of a judicial commission that will investigate state police and security force actions during pro-democracy protests [JURIST news archive] last month that led to the capitulation of King Gyanendra [official profile], allowing the formation of a new democratic government in Nepal. Former Nepal Supreme Court Justice Krishna Jung Raymajhi will head the commission, which will have the power to investigate individuals suspected of contributing to the 19 deaths and hundreds of injuries that occurred during the protests. The new government has already vowed to pursue criminal prosecution of individuals alleged to have suppressed the protests. eKantipur.com has local coverage.In other international legal news ...
[JURIST] The US Senate Armed Services Committee [official website] on Thursday added a provision to the 2007 defense spending bill which would require the Bush administration to provide "a US government coordinated legal opinion on whether certain specified interrogation techniques would constitute cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment under the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005." The provision was inserted into the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 [S 2507 summary] as the committee completed markup [press release, PDF] of the bill. The Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 [JURIST document], passed as part of the 2006 military spending bill, prohibits "cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment" of detainees "under the physical control of the United States Government," but clear rules defining these terms have yet to be provided to military interrogators. US Defense Department [official website] officials have been updating the Army Field Manual on Intelligence Interrogation [current text] to provide clearer guidelines, but the revised manual has not yet been released [JURIST report], supposedly due to debate on whether specific guidelines on interrogation techniques [JURIST report] should be classified. The Defense Department's draft would keep secret specific descriptions of what constitutes acceptable interrogation practices, but Armed Services Committee members have raised concerns that by keeping this information classified, there is no way to ensure that the guidelines fall within the bounds of US and international law.The US House is set to vote on its defense spending bill next week, and the full Senate could begin debate on the Senate version by the end of the month. The interrogation opinion provision will become law only if it is still included in the reconciled version of the spending bill eventually passed by both houses of Congress and signed by the President. AP has more.
[JURIST] Serbian police on Thursday arrested three people suspected of helping war crimes fugitive Ratko Mladic [ICTY case backgrounder; JURIST news archive] evade authorities seeking to arrest him and turn him over to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia [official website] for trial. Mladic's fugitive status has been a sticking point in Serbia's discussions with the European Union on possible EU accession [EU backgrounder], and EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn [official website] earlier this week called off membership talks [JURIST report] due to Serbia's failure to arrest Mladic. The Serbian government said Thursday that it would redouble its efforts [press release] to find Mladic, noting that "The government unanimously agreed that Ratko Mladic's hiding is unworthy of patriotic and officer's tradition and that it directly harms the existential interest of the people and the state."Mladic has been indicted [text] by the ICTY on charges of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes stemming from the execution of over 7,000 Muslim prisoners and the shelling and sniping of innocent civilians during the siege of Sarajevo. Serbian officials have been accused of protecting Mladic [JURIST report] and Serbia told the ICTY and EU that Mladic would be delivered to the ICTY by the end of April [JURIST report]. Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica has said that he never set firm deadlines, only that he recognized that it would be best if Serbia fulfilled its obligations to the ICTY "yesterday." AP has more.1:24 PM ET - Two additional arrests were made Friday of people suspected of aiding Mladic. Also Friday, Serbian Interior Minister Dragan Jocic [official profile] said that he expected Mladic to be arrested within weeks. Reuters has more.
[JURIST] Jury members in the Moussaoui sentencing trial [JURIST news archive; case docket] recommended a life sentence [JURIST report] for convicted Sept. 11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui because several jurors believed that Moussaoui only played a minor role in the plot and there were questions about whether the death penalty [JURIST news archive] is an appropriate punishment for lying, according to a report in Friday's Washington Post. Moussaoui pleaded guilty [JURIST report] last year to conspiracy charges [indictment] in connection with the Sept. 11 terror attacks [JURIST news archive] and US District Judge Leonie Brinkema on Thursday sentenced Moussaoui to life in prison without the possibility of release [JURIST report]. One of the jurors, speaking anonymously to the Washington Post, said Thursday that he believed that Moussaoui exaggerated his role in the terror plot and that Moussaoui's testimony [JURIST report] that he and "shoe bomber" Richard Reid were meant to fly a fifth plane into the White House was a lie.The sentencing trial was divided into two phases. During the first phase, jurors decided that Moussaoui was eligible for the death penalty [JURIST report], and the juror told the Post that this conclusion was reached because the jury believed the government's argument that FBI investigators would have discovered the plot had Moussaoui not lied when he was questioned in August 2001. Several jurors, however, were not in favor of sentencing Moussaoui to death during the second phase of the trial because they believed that Moussaoui had "limited knowledge" [verdict form, PDF] of the plans for September 11. The juror did not reveal how many jurors would have voted for the death penalty. Reuters has more.

Canon collects sales tax, better off buying elsewhere - it's just silly to pay "sales and use" tax on a used item that someone else has likely already paid taxes on.
Bought the 50 1.4 last time. Used it today for my daughters birthday party on my 6D. Quite impressive results for a dark bowling alley and no flash. Though I did crack out the 430Ex ii when I switched to the 24-105L. I also have the 85 1.8 but it really wasn't wide angle enough. .

That's actually incorrect--I have no idea where you're getting this information. A return is a return. When you bring warranty into the discussion, there's implied ownership--under canon warranty, ALL goods are repaired and returned to the owner--they are not swapped for already repaired units. If you send something in with a serial number, you get the same serial# back. I have confirmed this with canon CPS in the past. The ONLY exception might be where it is repaired, sent back prepaid through their return service, and the package is entirely lost. The only other time I heard of a swap was when someone had their camera body destroyed in a fire at one of the Canon Repair facilities--in that instance, they offered a swap (1d3-->1d4) because the original obviously could not be salvaged. If you return something to Canon, you're given a refund and told to place a new order--no swaps--I learned this from firsthand experience with a past lens purchase. If you doubt what I'm saying, give them a call sometime and ask them direct. They'll tell you what I've already stated above. What I've said ONLY applies to Canon's business model. Other manufacturers may operate differently. For instance, Dremel took my new drill and swapped in a refurbished unit instead of repairing what I sent them. Each company plays by their own rules. You do realize that laws require that companies collect taxes for goods and services, correct? It doesn't matter whether they're new or used. If you go into a Gamestop, you're still going to pay taxes on those used games. If you have an issue, take it up with your state government--if companies weren't forced to collect taxes, they wouldn't. They don't get to keep that money.

You've stated so much false information already that I'm not sure it's worth even keeping up a dialogue at this point. I'll summarize what I said in my previous posting. So for the sake of brevity...
