JOHANNESBURG -- A man who provided sign language interpretation on stage for Nelson Mandela's memorial service, attended by scores of heads of state, was a "fake," the national director of the Deaf Federation of South Africa said on Tuesday.
The unidentified man seen around the world on television next to leaders like U.S. President Barack Obama "was moving his hands around but there was no meaning in what he used his hands for," Bruno Druchen, the federation's national director, told The Associated Press.
South Africa's government told AP it is preparing a statement. Jackson Mthembu, spokesman for the governing African National Congress party, declined to comment. "Government will be able to assist you," Mthembu said.
Druchen and two other sign language experts said the man was not signing in South African or American sign languages. South African sign language covers all of the country's 11 official languages, according to the federation.
Nicole Du Toit, an official sign language interpreter who also watched the broadcast, said in a telephone interview that the man on stage purporting to sign was an embarrassment.
"It was horrible, an absolute circus, really, really bad," she said. "Only he can understand those gestures."
South African parliament member Wilma Newhoudt-Druchen, a member of the ruling party who is deaf and who is married to Druchen, also said the man communicated nothing with his hand and arm movements. AP interviewed both Druchen, who also is deaf, and Newhoudt-Druchen by telephone using an interpreter.

Indonesian Court Sentences British Woman To Death For Smuggling Cocaine

- Text Size
By Amrutha Gayathri | January 22, 2013 7:58 PM EST
An Indonesian court Tuesday sentenced a 56-year-old British woman to death on charges of smuggling cocaine.
Lindsay Sandiford was arrested at Bali's international airport in May after she was found carrying 4.8 kg (10.6 pounds) of cocaine in the lining of her suitcase.
"We found Lindsay Sandiford convincingly and legally guilty for importing narcotics... and sentenced the defendant to death," Denpasar district court judge Amser Simanjuntak pronounced.
Although Indonesia's strict smuggling laws stipulate the death penalty, "few executions are carried out," according to a report in the South China Morning Post.
In December, Sandiford made an apology during her trial, saying that she felt "really terrible" for her crime, reported the Jakarta Globe.
"I feel really terrible, ashamed and horrible," Sandiford told Simanjuntak, the judge presiding over her trial.
During the trial, Sandiford said she had committed the crime because Julian Anthony Ponder, another British national, who is on a separate trial, threatened to kill her son.
Sandiford said that Ponder made the threat via phone in March. She added that she was ordered to go to Bangkok May 12 to smuggle the cocaine to Bali, the Globe report said.
"When I arrived at the Bali airport, I was afraid. I knew I had made a mistake but I was worried about my son," she said.
According to the indictment, Sandiford told investigators she was supposed to hand the cocaine over to Ponder.
A spokeswoman for the British Foreign Office said the UK remained "strongly opposed" to death penalty in all circumstances.
"We can confirm that a British national is facing the death penalty in Indonesia. We remain in close contact with that national and continue to provide consular assistance," the Guardian reported.
According to a BBC report from Bali, "there was an audible gasp of surprise in the courtroom when the verdict was delivered."
The harsh sentence came as a surprise because the prosecution had recommended 15 years in jail, saying Sandiford admitted her crime and that she had no prior convictions, the report has said.

Christina Aguilera's new album Lotus has been a closely guarded secret. With less than a month away from her November 13th release, little to no information has been revealed. On Monday, online retailers finally released the full tracking listing of Xtina's upcoming album.
Collaborations look to be the trend of Lotus. Christina is teaming up with everyone from The Voice colleagues Blake Shelton and Cee-Lo Green to Sia, Max Martin and Alex Da Kid.
One of the songs on the LP, "Blank Page", Sia originally wrote for singer Leona Lewis. Another track, "Army of Me" Christina calls a "Fighter 2.0."
"There is a new generation of fans from a younger demographic that might not have been with me all the way but that watch me on the show now," Christina told Billboard. "I feel like every generation should be able to enjoy and have their piece of 'Fighter' within. This time, the way it musically came together it just felt right for this time and this generation. There's always going to be a fighter in me getting through some obstacle and some hurdle."

PETALING JAYA: The Old Frees community on social media was all abuzz as the pilot of the ill-fated MH370, Capt Zaharie Ahmad Shah, was a student of the Penang Free School (PFS).
Ritzeraynn Rashid, a former staff of Malaysia Airlines, remembers Zaharie both as a schoolmate and as a colleague.
"He was a very pleasant and humble person. He was always smiling and very cheerful," said Ritzeraynn. who joined MAS from 1979 until 1991.
"Zaharie was a very experienced pilot, too. My first contact with him was when we worked together in MAS in 1981 on the B737 services. He was the co-pilot and I was the leading purser. We shared a lot of good memories together.
"Interestingly enough, it was not until the later years that I learnt that Capt Zaharie was from PFS. It gave us more to talk about whenever we flew together, especially about the teachers and headmasters. They were our favourite catch-up stories," he said.
Another community member, Capt Abdul Manaf Hasan, was in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, when the news came.
He described Zaharie as a "superb pilot" with vast experience on many types of aircraft, including the B777.
The other aircraft he flew included the F50, B737 and the A300. In the mid-1990s, Capt Zaharie was also the manager of the Fokker 50 fleet in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
"Zaharie was also an examiner authorised by the DCA to conduct simulator tests for pilots," said Capt Abdul Manaf, who knew Zaharie back in 1974 when they were in the same school.
"He was a really jovial guy, and we used to hang out together in Subang Jaya when we were bachelors," said Capt Abdul Manaf, who has been with MAS since 1979.
The current headmaster of PFS, Jalil Saad, expressed his sadness on behalf of the school.
Jalil, who was also two years his senior, said Zaharie was good student.
"He was in Form 5 Science 2. To be in that class, you must be extra special, especially in PFS. His parents brought him up well and I am sure he learnt a lot from the school," added Jalil.
Schoolmate Franklin Lim said Capt Zaharie, who joined MAS in 1981, had clocked over 18,000 flying hours.
He lived in Shah Alam with his family.
Another classmate from PFS, Jason Lee, 53, said the last time he saw Capt Zaharie was in 2010 during their batch's reunion dinner.
"We had a great time reminiscing on the past, talking about the good old days we had in school.
"It was his long-time ambition to be a pilot and he always told us back then how nice it was to fly around," he said.

The Associated Press
Robert Chew, who played Proposition Joe on the HBO series "The Wire," has died. He was 52.
His sister, Clarice Chew, said he suffered a heart attack and died at his Baltimore home Thursday.
Robert Chew grew up in Baltimore and studied music at Morgan State University for two years. His sister said he worked as music director for the Arena Players community theater.
The character Prop Joe was a highly intelligent and ruthless yet polite and diplomatic Baltimore drug lord. Another sister, Maureen Brown, said strangers would approach Chew on the street in Baltimore and tell him what a great job he did in that role.
He also appeared in TV shows "The Corner" and "Homicide: Life on the Street" and the 2004 TV movie "Something the Lord Made."

Former BP Engineer Arrested for Obstruction of Justice in Connection with the Deepwater Horizon Criminal Investigation; First Criminal Charges to Result from the Deepwater Horizon Task Force Investigation.
Kurt Mix, a former engineer for BP plc, was arrested today on charges of intentionally destroying evidence requested by federal criminal authorities investigating the April 20, 2010, Deepwater Horizon disaster, announced Attorney General Eric Holder, Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Jim Letten of the Eastern District of Louisiana and Kevin Perkins, Acting Executive Assistant Director for the FBI's Criminal Cyber Response and Services Branch.
Mix, 50, of Katy, Texas, was charged with two counts of obstruction of justice in a criminal complaint filed in the Eastern District of Louisiana and unsealed today.
"The department has filed initial charges in its investigation into the Deepwater Horizon disaster against an individual for allegedly deleting records relating to the amount of oil flowing from the Macondo well after the explosion that led to the devastating tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico," said Attorney General Holder. "The Deepwater Horizon Task Force is continuing its investigation into the explosion and will hold accountable those who violated the law in connection with the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history."
According to the affidavit in support of a criminal complaint and arrest warrant, on April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon rig experienced an uncontrolled blowout and related explosions while finishing the Macondo well. The catastrophe killed 11 men on board and resulted in the largest environmental disaster in U.S. history.
According to court documents, Mix was a drilling and completions project engineer for BP. Following the blowout, Mix worked on internal BP efforts to estimate the amount of oil leaking from the well and was involved in various efforts to stop the leak. Those efforts included, among others, Top Kill, the failed BP effort to pump heavy mud into the blown out wellhead to try to stop the oil flow. BP sent numerous notices to Mix requiring him to retain all information concerning Macondo, including his text messages.
On or about Oct. 4, 2010, after Mix learned that his electronic files were to be collected by a vendor working for BP's lawyers, Mix allegedly deleted on his iPhone a text string containing more than 200 text messages with a BP supervisor. The deleted texts, some of which were recovered forensically, included sensitive internal BP information collected in real-time as the Top Kill operation was occurring, which indicated that Top Kill was failing. Court documents allege that, among other things, Mix deleted a text he had sent on the evening of May 26, 2010, at the end of the first day of Top Kill. In the text, Mix stated, among other things, "Too much flowrate – over 15,000." Before Top Kill commenced, Mix and other engineers had concluded internally that Top Kill was unlikely to succeed if the flow rate was greater than 15,000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD). At the time, BP's public estimate of the flow rate was 5,000 BOPD – three times lower than the minimum flow rate indicated in Mix's text.
In addition, on or about Aug. 19, 2011, after learning that his iPhone was about to be imaged by a vendor working for BP's outside counsel, Mix allegedly deleted a text string containing more than 100 text messages with a BP contractor with whom Mix had worked on various issues concerning how much oil was flowing from the Macondo well after the blowout. By the time Mix deleted those texts, he had received numerous legal hold notices requiring him to preserve such data and had been communicating with a criminal defense lawyer in connection with the pending grand jury investigation of the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
A complaint is merely a charge and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If convicted, Mix faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 as to each count. The Deepwater Horizon Task Force, based in New Orleans, is supervised by Assistant Attorney General Breuer and led by Deputy Assistant Attorney General John D. Buretta, who serves as the Director of the task force. The task force includes prosecutors from the Criminal Division and the Environment and Natural Resources Division of the Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Louisiana and other U.S. Attorney's Offices, and investigating agents from the FBI, Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Interior, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and other federal law enforcement agencies.
The task force's investigation of this and other matters concerning the Deepwater Horizon disaster is ongoing.
The case is being prosecuted by task force Deputy Directors Derek Cohen and Avi Gesser of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, and task force prosecutors Assistant U.S. Attorney Richard Pickens II of the Eastern District of Louisiana and Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott Cullen of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

Woman finds her voice after rare transplant
A rare larnyx transplant has restored the voice of a California woman unable to speak on her own for more than a decade. Only one other successful larynx, or voice box, transplant has been documented, in 1998, say doctors who treated the woman at UC Davis Health System in Sacramento. They say the latest procedure, which included the transplant of a thyroid and trachea, was more ambitious. Before the October surgery, 52-year-old Brenda Charett Jensen could speak only through an electronic device that produced a robotic voice. Just 13 days later, the Modesto woman could speak on her own again. The voice is her own and not that of the organ donor. Her doctors say that is because its unique timbre resides in the palate, tongue, lips and sinuses, and the voice box simply vibrates to facilitate sound, akin to the reed on a clarinet.

Growth, Agility and New Business Capabilities

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) is probably not a good name to use anymore. Its term brings to mind old-school network attacks much in the way Pittsburgh still carries a reputation for being a dirty and smoky city. Neither of these could be further from the true. Both have evolved beyond their original descriptions—Pittsburgh for the better, and DDoS…not so much.
Whether you're an ISP, a hosting company, a data center operator offering "cloud services," or all of the above, you are no doubt facing multiple business challenges. Increasing competition; corporate pressure to expand market share, ARPU and profitability; shrinking staff size; and reduced CAPEX/OPEX budgets. Today's business environment is clearly tougher than ever.

Perfect rug for our home office that is contemporary but not too modern. Love the neutral colors - mostly brown, black and gray. The online description says it has a red in there, but it really doesn't which was fine with me.
Looks great in a living area or bedroom. It came saying Brown Rug but it's almost a very dark brown/black which is what I wanted.
If I had a rug made for my space and decor it would be this rug!! It is PERFECT! We went from carpet to LVT recently and missed the soft element in our living room. This rug is thick and luxurious under foot and I loved the "sculpted" details. There is NO red in the coloring and very little black but the dark brown tan and gray were a perfect match to my accent chairs! It also shipped and arrived at my door in just a few days!! Couldn't be happier!
Although the Product description reads " Colors are a basic combination of beige, black, red and gray" It is not black. Other than that it is a wonderful rug but if you are looking for a black/gray combination like I was - this rug will not work.

Radeon Driver Rewrite Only Has A Few Things Left
Published on 23 March 2009 08:27 AM EDT

Back in February we talked about the work that
David Airlie
is doing to
rewrite the ATI Radeon driver for Mesa
. Soon now it looks like this rewritten code may land in the mainline Mesa code-base once a few more items are addressed. The rewrite of this open-source ATI 3D support brings buffer management support for all supported ATI hardware,
, Frame Buffer Objects, and all of this work is a prerequisite for having kernel memory management (such as with
David Airlie
shares on his blog
that he has been working on getting the rewritten ATI driver branch into a useful state and recently has been focusing on the FBO support under a DRI2 and
kernel mode-setting
enabled environment. Today he has reached a point where the Frame Buffer Object support has been merged into the radeon-rewrite branch.
Still left to be accomplished is fixing some hanging issues in the buffer management code for R100/200 hardware, broken depth buffer on the R200 series, incorrect drawing with the DRI2 single buffered rendering, and Piglit regression test running. There may also he a few other items to be addressed too prior to the code being merged.
After the code has been merged, Airlie plans to work on color buffer tiling under KMS/DRI2 (it will work right now with the DRI1 environment) and texture tiling. Hopefully we will see this Radeon rewrite merged into Mesa prior to
Mesa 7.5
, which is also the first release that will incorporate

A HOSPITAL boss defended the sacking of a doctor for sexual harassment at an employment tribunal yesterday.
Professor Edward Baker spoke for Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust at a case brought by the doctor, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
He was dismissed in late 2012 following complaints by two female trainee doctors and lost an appeal that was heard in May 2013.
One said the middle-aged doctor touched her leg in his office and the other said he sent "persistent" text messages asking her to his house.
The trainees said he told them they would get unfavourable write-ups in their progress reports if they didn't.
But the consultant has said the allegations were fabricated to force him out of his job as part of a cost-cutting drive.
Prof Baker, then the trust's medical director and deputy chief executive, said the consultant felt he had been "misconstrued" over the woman he sent messages to "due to his poor command of English".
He said: "The claimant did not deny asking about her personal life or discussing meeting privately but said this was a result of his concerns for her and with her interests in mind as she was a poor trainee."
Prof Baker said: "We did not accept this was a well-intentioned attempt to provide support to a struggling trainee."
The other trainee was lying, the consultant claimed.
Both accounts were "strikingly similar" Prof Baker said, adding: "We felt the behaviour of the claimant fell far below what was acceptable from any employee and in particular a senior clinician with responsibility for trainees."
The dismissal was not related to a proposed restructure and "in reality caused problems for the trust" he said.
The married consultant is suing the trust for unfair dismissal, breach of contract, racial discrimination, sexual discrimination and loss of wages at Reading Tribunal Centre.
