Mumbai  – Actress Alia Bhatt says her father and filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt is possessive about her, but adds that he has taken her on-screen kissing with Arjun Kapoor in the forthcoming film 2 States practically.
"Like every father, who don't want their daughters to get married, even my father is the same," Alia said in a group interview.
"Recently, my father told us (Alia and her sister Shaheen) you all can't go anywhere, I will lock you up in a room. He is honest and blunt about the fact that he doesn't want us to get married.
"He is not saying just like that, he means it. He is very possessive and he doesn't want me to get married. If my sister's boyfriends get me some present, he would say – even I can get presents, I will get you two," she added.
Currently, the actress is looking forward to her forthcoming film 2 States.
She has a kissing scene in the film and when asked about her "possessive" father's reaction on the same, she said: "But he knows I am acting …but, if I kiss my boyfriend in front of him, he will slap me.
"It's in the scene and I am not doing it to irritate him. It's a family film and the scene is just for three seconds."
Directed by Abhishek Verman, 2 States is an adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's bestseller of the same name and the actress has read the book three times.
She said: "I have to be as natural as possible. I read the book three times before we started shooting."
Alia says that when she read the book for the first time, she felt it could be made into a good film.
"I knew Arjun was on board… but I never thought I will be part of the film. I got a call for a look test and the point being that I should look good with Arjun. I was hoping it comes to me and it did. It's a big achievement for me," she said.
The actress, who garnered rave reviews for her performance in her last release Highway, says there was a reason behind doing 2 States.
"After Highway I wanted people to say I am an actor and that I am not here to be a star. I would not like to be five or six films old …so I want to make sure I am an actor," she said.

NPR Falsely Claims GOP Invented Sequestration
Ahead of the President's State of the Union speech, taxpayer funded National Public Radio (NPR) tried to help the White House push the false notion that the sequestration budget cut policy was conceived by the Republicans. In truth, it was initiated by Obama and pushed by the Democrat Party.
In order to advertise its coverage, NPR tweeted that sequestration was a "Republican invention."
"Though A Republican Invention, Obama Could Get Blamed For Sequester… With the deadline approaching for automatic spending cuts, Republicans in Congress are pushing hard to rebrand the cuts that were agreed to as part of the debt-ceiling agreement of 2011," NPR claimed.
But, the truth is something other than what NPR promulgated. The fact is, sequestration was invented by President Obama and pushed by Harry Reid and House Democrats, not Republicans. It is certainly true that the GOP agreed to the plan, but they did not "invent" sequestration.
Even often left-leaning "fact checker" PolitiFact noted that Obama was the one that invented the sequestration budget conceit and rated "mostly false" any claim to the contrary.
"Obama can't rightly say the sequester isn't his," PolitiFact concluded.
Fortunately, many good folks on Twitter didn't let NPR get away with its less than factual reportage.

Military Ground Robot Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2012 to 2018
Winter Green Research
Published Date » 2012-02-13
No. Of Pages » 609
WinterGreen Research announces that it has a new study on Military Ground Robots and Unmanned Vehicles. The 2012 study has 609 pages, 274 tables and figures. Worldwide markets are poised to achieve significant growth. Just as the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are winding down, leaving a lot of spare devices, the military is seeking to develop a modernization strategy.
Military ground robots promise to provide the core technology for management of conflict as strict nationalism in military matters is being replaced by the new era of terrorist threats. Military robot are used globally. Growth comes as the nature of combat changes in every region while the globally integrated enterprise replaces nationalistic dominance.
Military robots provide modernization of the military and automated process applied to the defense industry. Process is the next wave of military evolution. As automated systems and networking complement the Internet, communication is facilitated on a global basis. The military charter is shifting to providing protection against terrorists and people seek to maintain a safe, mobile, independent lifestyle. Much of the military mission is moving to adopt a police force training mission, seeking to achieve protection of civilian populations on a worldwide basis.
According to Susan Eustis, the lead author of the study, "the purchase of military robots s is driven by the need for modernization of the military." The new military is dependent on flexibility and early response. The use of military robots s is based on providing a robot that is less expensive to put in the field than a trained soldier and the desire to keep the trained soldiers out of harm's way. That automation of process and modernization has appeal to those who run the military.
Robots are automating military ground systems, permitting vital protection of soldiers and people in the field, creating the possibility of reduced fatalities. Mobile robotics operate independently of the operator.
We hear from military leaders all over the world that the plan going forward is to utilize automated process to replace the warfighters and keep them out of the line of fire. The military robot market.is evolving in this context.
The Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts gave rise to the development and use of military robotics. As these conflicts are resolved, the military robots are finding new uses as border patrol. The 250 kilometer demilitarized zone between South and North Korea is patrolled along its entire length. The border between the United States and Mexico is not patrolled continuously along its entire length.
In Europe you begin to see an opening of the borders while the US has become more strict. The border separating Israel from the territories is not continuously patrolled along its entire length. This issue of nationalistic border patrol is a complex one, some borders are opening while others are closing. There will be a variety of ways of managing a border for the foreseeable future. In any case, robots are sure to provide technology for protecting borders, protecting safety in cities, and building smarter cities.
Defense robot security systems have an emphasis on causality reduction during combat. This aim has resulted in investment in robotics technology because robots save lives. Robotic research is continuing to be a priority for government spending. The Army has a goal of making operational ground combat vehicles unmanned. The US Navy and Marines have similar initiatives.
Robots are set to play a more significant role in military operations going forward. Just as automated process has revolutionized the banking and insurance industry, so also robotics is set to revolutionize the military and all security. Better surveillance and better automated mobility controlled from a relatively safe remote site are the aim of achieving military robotics.
Robots are set to play a more significant role in military operations going forward. Just as automated process has revolutionized the banking and insurance industry, so also robotics is set to revolutionize the military and all security. Better surveillance and better automated mobility controlled from a relatively safe remote site are the aim of achieving military robotics.
In the military operations, thousands of robots were used in Iraq and Afghanistan. As the US withdraws from these areas there will be an adjustment in the quantities of military robots ordered. In the longer term, the use of military robots will increase as they replace the need to put war fighters in the line of direct fire. The use of military robots in the Armed Services is expected to increase worldwide. Military robots are significantly less expensive to use than human fighters. United States Army modernization program has been implemented as the Army brigade combat team modernization program.
Roboticists are more advanced in their training and in the tools available to create robots. Robots are modular permitting repurposing in the field. Military robots have evolved from units used in the field to manage different situations that arise. Robots save lives.
Defense security systems have an emphasis on causality reduction during combat. This has resulted in investment in robotics technology that is useful. Robotic research is on the fast track for government spending. Congress is seeking to make an Army has operational ground combat vehicles that are unmanned. The US Navy and Marines have similar initiatives underway.
Military ground robot market forecast analysis indicates that vendor strategy is to pursue developing new applications that leverage leading edge technology. Robot solutions are achieved by leveraging the ability to innovate, to bring products to market quickly. Military purchasing authorities seek to reduce costs through design and outsourcing. Vendor capabilities depend on the ability to commercialize the results of research in order to fund further research. Government funded research is evolving some more ground robot capability.
Military ground robot markets at $3.4 billion in 2011 are anticipated to reach $12.3 billion by 2018.

Cryosurgery Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends And Forecast, 2014 - 2020
By - Transparency Market Research
Cryosurgery is the application of extremely low temperature to destroy abnormal tissue. The technique has been successful in treating some types of cancers and skin diseases. Extreme low temperature for cryosurgery is achieved through use of liquid nitrogen or argon gas. For treatment of external conditions, liquid nitrogen is applied to the diseased skin cells with help of a cotton swab or spraying devices can also be used. For treating internal conditions, liquid nitrogen or argon gas is passed through hollow probes, which are efficiently guided by MRI or ultrasound. Cryosurgery has been...
Hydrocolloids Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019

Mark 12:13–17 (ESV)Paying Taxes to Caesar13 And they sent
to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to trap him in his talk. 14 And they came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are true and do not care about anyone's opinion. For you are not swayed by appearances, but truly teach
the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?" 15 But, knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why put me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it." 16 And they brought
one. And he said to them, "Whose likeness and inscription is this?" They said to him, "Caesar's." 17 Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
And they marveled at him.The key word in today's reading is found in verse 13: "trap". They were trying to trap Jesus. The proper definition for today's usage is "any
device, stratagem, trick, or the like for catching a person unawares." The problem with trapping Jesus is that he is God. He is all knowing and is well aware of the trap. He is not fooled. Now I grew up trapping animals on our
ranch. Trapping raccoons and opossums was not overly challenging. Coyotes and bobcats proved to be way more challenging. You had to neutralize your scent and had to conceal the trap totally. I would use a flour sifter to sift dirt over
the trap so that it did not look disturbed. A trick I learned from a Texas State trapper for bobcats was to hang Christmas tree ornaments (round shiny balls) in the air above the trap. The bobcat would jump up and swat at the balls and land in
the trap. Well, this is kind of what they were doing to Jesus, but not with a mechanical trap. To get to the point, they want Jesus opinion as to whether they should pay taxes. If he says no, then the government (today's IRS) would
get him. Jesus looks at the person on the coin and says "render (pay) unto Caesar the thing that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." He dodged the bullet by saying to pay both! Pay your taxes to the
government, but give to God what is God's portion. Really, everything we have belongs to God, so we are giving back to him only a portion of what is already his.I pray: O Lord, I must admit
that I do not like paying taxes, but I do pay them. Giving to you comes easier because I know the money is being put to Godly use. Help me to be a cheerful giver to both, since you have established the government too. Help me to make certain
that the government is being good stewards of the taxes as well. Amen.
Mark 12:1–12 (ESV)The Parable of the Tenants12 And he began to speak to them in parables. "A man planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a pit for the winepress and built a tower, and leased it to tenants and went into another country. 2 When the season came, he sent a servant
to the tenants to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 4 Again he sent to them another servant, and they struck him on the head and treated him shamefully. 5 And he sent another,
and him they killed. And so with many others: some they beat, and some they killed. 6 He had still one other, a beloved son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.' 7 But those tenants said to one another, 'This is
the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.' 8 And they took him and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard. 9 What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants and give the vineyard to others.
10 Have you not read this Scripture: " 'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;
11 this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?" 12 And they were seeking to arrest him but feared the people, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them. So they left him and went away.Today's reading is talking about
God's relationship between his children, the Children of Israel. Throughout history, God has sent prophets. The prophets have been beaten and killed. Then God sends his own Son, Jesus. Well... they beat him and killed him too!
God has a plan of Salvation for you. His prophets were always trying to get his children to turn back to God. His message is so important that he sent his son to get the message out and to fulfill the plan of Salvation for you. John 3:16 states:
For God So Loved the World16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes
in him should not perish but have eternal life.I pray: O Lord, help me and use me to get your message out to others. Help me to plant the seeds of faith and to wait patiently as you work
faith in others. When you are ready for the harvest, use me Lord to bring in the harvest. You are the one who creates faith and causes it to grow. Help me to stay in your Word. Amen.
Mark 11:27–33 (ESV)The Authority of Jesus Challenged27 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, 28 and they said to him, "By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do
them?" 29 Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the baptism of John from heaven or from man? Answer me." 31 And they discussed it with one another, saying,
"If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?' 32 But shall we say, 'From man'?"—they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John really was a prophet. 33 So they
answered Jesus, "We do not know." And Jesus said to them, "Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things."So far, Jesus has really frustrated the chief priests, scribes,
and the elders. He is healing people and casting out demons. People are also amazed at his teachings. Yet they are the keepers of the Old Testament, the Law, synagogues, and the Temple. Here comes Jesus and he is threatening their lifestyle.
In today's reading, they ask a very valid question: "By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?" This is a good question... and valid. The point is, will they really listen to his
answer and believe. I think Jesus knows the answer to this, so he answers their question with a question. "I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things. 30 Was the baptism of John from heaven
or from man? Answer me." This statement takes me back to the movie "A Few Good Men" where Jack Nicholson is sitting on the witness stand and blares out "You can't handle the truth!" Look at their response to
Jesus question. "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?' 32 But shall we say, 'From man'?"—they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John really was a prophet.
33 So they answered Jesus, "We do not know." When it comes down to it, they didn't care about the Truth!I pray: Lord, you are the truth. Help me to not confuse my ways
with your ways, you are God and I just a man. I repent of my sins, especially when I act as if I am God instead of you. Shape me and mold me according to your will. Amen.
Mark 11:20–25 (ESV)The Lesson from the Withered Fig Tree20 As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21 And Peter remembered and said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered." 22 And Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God.
23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask
in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses."It is interesting that Jesus says "whenever you stand praying." Standing is a proper prayer position. There are other prayer positions, but there is nothing wrong with standing. If someone says it is wrong,
show them this verse! But, did you notice that you need to pray with faith... "believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Unfortunately... I must add that it will be given to you if it is the Lord's will.
Otherwise, we would all be billionaires. Now in a serious note, verse 25 gives us vital information and at the same time... a warning. We ARE to be a forgiving people. Forgiveness is what we are about. Do you have someone you are not
willing to forgive? Let's re-read verse 25: "And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses." This is an eye opener!
It also dovetails into the 5th Petition of the Lord's Prayer: "And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Luther adds: "We pray in this petition that our Father in heaven would not look at our sins, or
deny our prayer because of them. We are neither worthy of the things for which we pray, nor have we deserved them, but we ask that He would give them all to us by grace, for we daily sin much and surely deserve
nothing but punishment. So we too will sincerely forgive and gladly do good to those who sin against us."I pray: O Heavenly Father, forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass
against me. Help me to pray in the faith you have given me and to trust in your provisions. Amen.
Mark 11:15–19 (ESV)Jesus Cleanses the Temple15 And they came
to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. 16 And he would not allow anyone to carry anything
through the temple. 17 And he was teaching them and saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers." 18 And the chief priests and the scribes
heard it and were seeking a way to destroy him, for they feared him, because all the crowd was astonished at his teaching. 19 And when evening came they went out of the city.I wonder if Jesus ever did
dishes? I don't know, but in today's reading... he certainly cleaned house in the Temple. At the same time, he ticked off the chief priests and the scribes. The Lutheran Study Bible states: "As prophesied in Mal 3:1–5,
Jesus purifies the temple of those who use religion to line their pockets. He does so in the temple court, where genuine worship has been disrupted. Today, Jesus challenges us to eliminate all such barriers to God's Word in our lives and in our congregations.
He is the proper focus of our prayers, the reason for our service; He hallows us as the temple of His Holy Spirit."
I pray: O Lord, help me to never use your name for profit. I get tired
of some television evangelist selling tickets to come and hear them preach God's Word. Help us to never create barriers that might block others from hearing your Word. Salvation is a free gift, I say free, but was bought and paid for with
Jesus blood. His life and death on the cross has set us free. Amen.

Was I the only one who hoped Chuggaaconroy would guest in this? Much like ProtonJonSA/Bruce Willis in earlier reviews.
Greg really ruined this video. He was just obnoxious and none of the jokes worked.
I liked the actual review, though.
I'm wondering if this is his favorite game now. He's says it's the best SNES game out there, and if you know Jirard, his favorite game is Donkey Kong Country 2. I'm guessing probably not, but EarthBound pushing it's way up there after only one playthrough definitely displays the games power!

Where to Watch NBA All-Star Saturday, Who Will Win the Slam Dunk and 3-Point Contests and What are the Betting Odds
- Order Reprints

By James Patrick Quizon | February 15, 2014 10:44 PM EST
The NBA stars have converged in New Orleans, Louisiana for this year's NBA All-Star Weekend. On Saturday, four popular sidelights will be on tap namely the Slam Dunk, Three-Points Contest, Skills Challenge and Shooting Stars.
NBA: Boston Celtics at Minnesota Timberwolves
Who will reign the air this year? Who will rule behind the arc? Below is the complete schedule and list of participants in each event. Plus the betting lines and their chances to win their respective events:
Odds to Win Slam Dunk Contest
Paul George (3.38) – Indiana Pacers
Terrence Ross (4.25) – Toronto Raptors
John Wall (4.80) – Washington Wizards
Harrison Barnes (5.20) – Golden State Warriors
Ben McLemore (7.00) – Sacramento Kings
Damian Lillard (10.00) – Portland Trail Blazers
The slam dunk format will undergo a significant change in 2014 featuring multiple rounds. The first round will be the "Freestyle" where each dunker will have one minute and thirty seconds to attempt as many dunks as they can. The judges will choose a winner between the East and West and the winner will earn the advantage of deciding whether its dunkers will attempt first in the next round called the "Battle Round".
This next round will pit East players vs. West players and the judges will decide who will win in this head-to-head match-up and the losers will be eliminated. The conference which wins three battles first will be named the Slam Dunk Contest champions. From among these three, the fans will vote for the evening's Slam Dunker of the Night.
Prediction: Guessing the winner in this one will be a tough one but go with the conference with the better and more creative dunkers. And that is George, Ross and Wall. And between the three, Ross is the most explosive and artistic. The Raptor takes this one for his second straight slam dunk title.
Odds to Win Three-Point Contest
Stephen Curry (3.50) – Golden State Warriors
Kyrie Irving (5.05) – Cleveland Cavaliers
Kevin Love (6.35) – Minnesota Timberwolves
Arron Afflalo (6.80) – Orlando Magic
Damian Lillard (7.20) – Portland Trail Blazers
Bradley Beal (7.20) – Washington Wizards
Marco Belinelli (9.40) – San Antonio Spurs
Joe Johnson (11.70) – Brooklyn Nets
The eight players will compete in a two-round format. For the first, each player will have a minute to shoot as many balls as possible during that span. The highest scorers from the East and the West will advance to the championship round. The champion will earn their conference's charities $100,000.
Prediction: Love surprises and comes out of the West as Beal wins the East. Love over Beal in the championship round.
Odds to Shooting Stars Contest
Team Curry (3.10)
Team Durant (3.60)
Team Hardaway Jr (3.75)
Team Bosh (3.75)
In the Shooting Stars event the participants are Tim Hardaway Jr., Tim Hardaway Sr. and Elena Delle Done for Team Hardaway Jr.; Chris Bosh, Dominique Wilkins, Swin Cash for Team Bosh; Stephen Curry, Dell Curry and Becky Hammon for Team Curry and Kevin Durant, Karl Malone and Skylar for Team Durant.
Prediction: "Team Hardaway" is already a winner with the pun.

IBM Lotus preps small biz software appliance
It's pandemonium out there. Cats are living with dogs. There's chocolate in my peanut butter. Software units are selling servers and calling them appliances. Late yesterday, IBM's Lotus collaboration software unit, one of the key pillars in the company's Software Group, lifted the veil a bit on its next-generation of Lotus …
Idiot proof
Why is it when I see the words "Lotus" and "Idiot-proof" in the same sentence I burst out laughing uncontrollably?
I know why IBM bought Lotus ...
... as do most folks reading this.
IBM should have lost the name(s) soon after purchase ... Trying to keep the platform solvent "as is" is probably bleeding more money than they can recoup in the long run.
It's been .. what? ... 12 years or so? Are they showing profit yet?
Good luck to them, but IBM don't have an exactly brilliant reputation for software - Lotus Notes as an email client is awful (yes, Lotus fanboys, version 8 is an improvement, but it's still the worst email client in the world). Clearcase should have been staked, beheaded and burnt a decade ago, ideally throwing most of the rest of the Rational suite on the bonfire while we're there. I'm so glad I left my last job, simply because I don't have to use Lotus or Rational any more. I know of people who have taken pay cuts, just to get away from them.
I know I'm being optimistic, but does IBM actually have any good software at all?
Paris, cos I needed a question mark
Well, it's obvious that none of you have had to maintain an email server. Unfortunately, some of us have to, and Domino beats anything else on the backend hands down.
I will admit to the client not being "pretty" but it works. I have yet to see one thing in Outlook that Notes can't do.
BTW, I have been asked to look into switching to Exchange 2007. While I can find plenty of entries for not installing Exchange, I'm having a tough time, other than MS's own marketing as to why I should? Anyone want to help me out here?
Are you kidding? Lotus has been showing double digit revenue growth for at least the last fourteen consecutive quarters.
@AC 15:28 Don't do it. Exchange is an over-architected pig of a product. And if you're forced to, and your AD has problems, fix them first. Otherwise you'll spend six months unravelling the mess.
The only argument I can see is that if you're the decision make in a reasonably large sized company, your own little empire will grow of necessity with every MS server product you decide to deploy, which some people see as enough justification.
It really is idiot proof
We recently installed the first version of foundations on a custom build server and I have to say how easy it really is. It was up and running in less than half an hour and was very straight forward.

Inquest called into starvation death of Jeffrey Baldwin
An inquest will be held into the death of a five-year-old boy who died of starvation in his grandparents' Toronto home.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
An inquest will be held into the death of a five-year-old boy who died of starvation in his grandparents' Toronto home.
Ontario Chief Coroner Dr. Andrew McCallum says an inquest can be held now that all court proceedings in Jeffrey Baldwin's death have been completed.
McCallum says the inquest jury will hear evidence regarding the circumstances of the boy's death on Nov. 30, 2002.
McCallum says the date, location and presiding coroner will be announced at a later date.
Jeffrey weighed only 21 pounds and was covered in sores when he died from complications due to chronic starvation.
Elva Bottineau and Norman Kidman were convicted of second-degree murder in Jeffrey's death and their appeal was rejected earlier this month.
Bottineau and Kidman were convicted in 2006 and sentenced to life in prison with no parole for 22 and 20 years, respectively.
Kidman and Bottineau were designated as legal guardians for Jeffrey and his sister, who had suffered abuse at the hands of their birth parents.
Bottineau and Kidman used the children as a source of income, collecting government support cheques in their names while they confined them to a dark, unheated room that reeked of urine and feces.
Bottineau's lawyer James Stribopoulos had argued his client's conviction should be overturned because the trial judge "swept away evidence of Bottineau's highly incapacitated mental state."
Justice David Doherty, one of the three judges who heard the appeal, said the trial judge had taken Bottineau's IQ of 69 — borderline mental retardation — into account when sentencing her to life in prison.
"He finds that she's of limited intellect, but she's also a lying, manipulative person," Doherty said in rejecting the appeal.
The judges also dismissed arguments that Kidman played no part in Jeffrey's abuse.
"He's there every day, his room is next to the dungeon that these kids were being tortured in," Doherty said. "There's all kinds of evidence that he knocked this kid around."
Although Jeffrey and his sister lived in squalor, the rest of the house was normal, including the living quarters of other children in the home.

Where The Bard drank beer and other gift ideas for suds aficionados
Josh Rubin's presents his suggested Christmas list of beers for those inclined. But books about beer may be just as appreciated by aficionados.

Have you got a beer lover to find a holiday gift for? Make sure they're not in the room when you're reading this — we've got a few suggestions.
While a carefully-chosen beer is always a sure bet to please a suds aficionado, there are other good choices, including books, classes, a beer-lover's tour of Toronto, even a day working in a brewpub.
Here's a look at some of the best options out there:
The World Atlas of Beer (Sterling Epicure, $30). It's tough to follow a legend. That, however, didn't stop Stephen Beaumont and Tim Webb from trying. The legend in question is Michael Jackson (the beer writer, not the singer) and his trailblazing 1977 tome World Guide to Beer.
Like Jackson's original, this book is an attempt to survey world beer styles and brewers, but also includes a look at beer cultures and traditions around the globe. Also like Jackson's book, this one is pretty enough to be on your coffee table, and erudite enough to sit on a library shelf.
While no beer book can ever again be as groundbreaking as Jackson's, this one is a worthy successor.
Shakespeare's Local (Macmillan, $30). Any book by Pete Brown is bound to be a rollicking read, and this one is no exception. Brown has won countless awards for his witty, exciting looks at world drinking culture (Three Sheets to the Wind) and a re-creation of the sea-going voyages of the original India Pale Ale (Hops and Glory).
This time, Brown uses a pub, the George in Southwark, as a window onto six centuries of English history. The George was built during the 15th century, and survives to this day as a fully-functioning pub. While admitting that he can't prove for sure if The Bard himself actually sipped ale at the George, Brown makes a good case that he did — it was known to have been a favourite drinking hole of actors in Shakespeare's day.
Whether you're a beer fan looking to deepen your knowledge of your favourite drink, or looking to work at a quality pub or restaurant, the Prud'homme Beer Certification has something to offer you. Set up by former Labatt sales staffer Roger Mittag, the Prud'homme has three levels of study, with the first level, "Beer Enthusiast," including either 12 hours of classroom instruction, or 6-8 hours of online learning.
The Old Toronto Beer Tour is a seven-hour romp through the city's beer history, with visits to breweries past and present, and includes (of course) some refreshments. Book your spot at www.beerloverstour.com/
At this time of year, you'll be able to find good gift packs and giant bottles of all kinds in the beer section at your local LCBO. By all means, just wander in and grab whichever one looks appealing. But keep an eye out for these four in particular: Barenaked Ladies Imperial Chocolate Stout ($13.95 per 750 mL bottle) is a monstrously rich, chocolaty brew that was a collaboration between Barrie's Flying Monkeys brewery and Canadian music legends The Barenaked Ladies. To my palate, anyway, this is the best beer Flying Monkeys has ever made.
Cuvee van de Kaizer Blauw ($7.55) is the pinnacle of the beer range brewed by Belgium's Het Anker brewery, in the ecclesiastical town of Mechelen. This rich, strong (11 per cent alcohol) dark ale is fill with aromas and flavours of dried fruit, caramel and has a distinct wine-like note. It also ages well and comes in a beautifully-embossed bottle. All in all, definitely gift-worthy.
Samuel Smith's Selection ($17.50) includes three beers (Old Brewery Pale Ale, Nutbrown Ale and Oatmeal Stout) from one of England's most traditional breweries, a pair of coasters and an official Samuel Smith's pint glass.
Spend a day as a brewer, working at North Toronto brewpub Granite with owner Ron Keefe and his daughter/brewing partner Mary Beth Keefe. Get a close-up, hands-on look at the brewing process (and a well-deserved pint or two at day's end).
Visitors should plan to be there from 7 a.m. until roughly 4 p.m. Best to wear comfortable work clothes, and either rubber boots or sneakers. Call 416-322-0723 to book. The experience costs $200, and includes lunch, all the coffee you can drink, and those pints.

Before Twitter and YouTube could respond, millions of users saw video of journalist James Foley being beheaded. An equally large number of people were privy to naked photos of celebrities on sites such as 4chan and reddit, after a hacker illegally stole the photos from the cloud. These were eventually removed, but not before a surprising controversy rose up around these instances: Should social media sites be in the business of censoring content-and, by extension, users?
