Yemen pro-army militia besieges Qaeda-linked tribal leader
Son of tribal leader with alleged links to Qaeda says he and his father are trapped in their south Yemen house surrounded by hundreds of militiamen.
Middle East Online
Militiamen give Fadhli 24 hours to turn himself in
ADEN (Yemen) - The son of a tribal leader with alleged links to Al-Qaeda says on Tuesday that he and his father were trapped in their south Yemen house surrounded by hundreds of pro-army militiamen.
"I'm in the house with my father. We are surrounded by hundreds of armed men from the Popular Resistance Committees," Mohammed al-Fadhli, the son of warlord Tarek al-Fadhli, said by telephone before the line went dead.
The pro-army militiamen have been surrounding since late Monday the house of Fadhli, who has fought in Afghanistan, upon his return to the southern city of Zinjibar, local tribal chief Hussein al-Waheshi said earlier.
The militiamen have given Fadhli 24 hours to turn himself in to police to avert having his house stormed by gunmen, he said.
The local security committee met on Tuesday and "agreed that Fadhli should surrender to the public prosecutor who had issued an arrest warrant last month over threats to kill leaders of the (southern) Socialist Party," Waheshi said.
"The ultimatum ends this evening. If he does not surrender, we will be obliged to storm his house and bring him to justice," he added.
Al-Qaeda militants took advantage of the weakness of Yemen's central government during an uprising last year against now ousted president Ali Abdullah Saleh, seizing large swathes of territory across the south, including Zinjibar and other towns in the province of Abyan.
But after a month-long offensive in May launched by Yemeni troops, most militants fled to the more lawless desert regions of the east.
Hundreds of gunmen descended on Zinjibar when they heard of the return of Fadhli "because this man works for Al-Qaeda," Waheshi said.
Authorities in the impoverished nation accused Fadhli of having links to Al-Qaeda.

Seattle execs indicted; Sigma Partners stiffed
Send this to a friend
- Mass High Tech Staff
A Seattle software company in which Sigma Partners has invested is part of a criminal fraud case in which company executives are being accused of inflating revenue figures.
Paul Thomas Johnston, the former CEO of Seattle-based Entellium Corp., and Parrish L. Jones, former CFO, were arrested Tuesday night and charged in U.S. District Court in Seattle with wire fraud for lying to investors, the Puget Sound Business Journal reported.
According to the FBI, the two software executives "devised a scheme to defraud investors in the company by representing that company revenues far exceeded the actual figures."
The government alleges that actual 2006 revenues were $582,789, but the pair inflated the revenues to nearly $4 million; actual 2007 revenues were $1.4 million inflated to $6.2 million; and actual 2008 revenues were $1.7 million inflated to $5.2 million.
The false revenue numbers, according to the government, were used by the pair to attract $50 million in venture capital from firms that included Sigma Partners, which operates an office in Boston. Bellevue, Wash.-based Ignition Partners also invested $19 million in the company.
Founded in 1984, Sigma Partners focuses on early-stage venture capital investment. With over $2 billion under management, Sigma has offices in Boston and in California. The firm is currently investing Sigma Fund 8, a $500 million fund raised in 2007. Among its portfolio companies are EqualLogic Inc., which was acquired by Dell Inc. in November of 2007 for $1.4 billion, and Virtusa Corp.
The discrepancies came to light last month, the government said, when an Entellium human resources manager discovered the inflated figures.
"I want to commend Entellium for contacting law enforcement when it became aware of inflated revenue claims made by company executives. Corporations are on the front line in rooting out fraud, and we need and expect them to come forward," said U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Sullivan, in a statement, adding that wire fraud is punishable by up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Has anyone been to the Droste factory? Can you take tours? Are there any chocolate factorys that are open for tours? Thanks.

There's a scaled-down Lindt factory at the Schokoladenmuseum in Köln. All the processing machinery is there in miniature (but it still takes up about three floors), and it outputs about one small wrapped piece per second.

We just drove by the Ritter Sport factory today; it's in the small town of Waldenbuch between Stuttgart and Tuebingen. I'm not sure if you can actually tour the factory but there is an exhibition about chocolate-making and you can get a great deal on "imperfect" chocolate at the factory store.

Sorry, should have been clearer. We will be in Amsterdam and we're interested in Dutch chocolate, and maybe touring a factory on a day trip out of the city.

Sorry, can't help you there! I did think it was funny that someone posted about chocolate factories they same day I drove by Ritter Sport...
Report Abuse
As far as I know Droste doesnot give tours and doesnot have a factory in Amsterdam. Used to have one in haarlem, that is closed and now only somewhere in the east of The Netherlands.
Sometime in 2007 a chocolate museum will open in Amsterdam not too far from Centraal Station.

Starving 10-year-old boy ate own feces out of desperation, weighed 60 lbs when he died, Stepmother dumped emaciated body in the woods
Being the mother of a 12-yr-old boy, I have to say this story about this little boy made me cry. A jury took less than an hour to find a woman guilty on Tuesday in the 2011 starvation death of her ten-year-old stepson.
The Dallas County jury found Elizabeth Ramsey, 33, guilty of intentional serious injury to a child in Johnathan Ramsey's death. The child weighed just 60lb when he died and in desperation, had eaten his own feces. Jurors will hear testimony today in the sentencing phase of Ramsey's trial and could sentence her to a maximum of life imprisonment. The boy's 35-year-old father, Aaron Ramsey, is serving a life sentence already.
Prosecutors said the two locked the boy in his room at the family's Dallas, Texas home, then slowly starved him on a diet of bread and water or milk and dumped his emaciated body in a rural area south of Dallas in 2011. The body was found the next year in a creek. The stepmother's attorneys asserted that her husband kept her from reporting her stepson's ordeal. Ramsey's lawyers had asked jurors to find her guilty of a lesser charge, arguing that Aaron Ramsey was the instigator and she was forced to participate in the crime.
Prosecutors blamed the couple equally for Johnathan's death. Witnesses described Elizabeth Ramsey as a habitual liar with a hot temper. Johnathan's grandfather, Edward Ramsey, had contacted police early in 2012 to ask them to search for the child because he had not seen the boy for more than a year. The boy's biological mother, Judy Williams, and other relatives did not see him for months. Police said Aaron and Elizabeth Ramsey, the child's stepmother, initially claimed the boy had gone to live with his mother but later confessed to starving the boy to death.
According to police, Aaron Ramsey said he put his son on 'military rations' because the boy began to misbehave early last year. Johnathan was found lying on the bedroom floor in August, according to court records. Aaron Ramsey told detectives he changed his son into his favorite T-shirt, placed him into a sleeping bag and inserted a dryer sheet to mask the smell of his body, the records said.
There is no type of behavior from a 10-yr-old that would warrant this extreme abuse. This was more than a punishment it was an evil act from two adults who had the responsibility to keep this little boy safe. Unfortunately, there were no apparent signs from people who knew Aaron and Elizabeth that they were tyrants who must have taken some joy in watching this boy suffer and waste away to his death.

Thank you, Mary.
I really like the fit of this dress and its very comfortable. Hardly any issues with this. I'm self taught and almost always learning on the job :0) so it was a nice challenge and I definitely will be sewing it again. I doubt I'll ever use the puff sleeves as its a bit too full for the styles I like.
It's summer so I better get sewing, which is just my excuse for buying yet more fabric- like I haven't got enough already! Lol

5.0 out of 5 stars For all mothers who embark into the exciting journey of motherhood,
This review is from: Strong Mothers, Strong Sons: Lessons Mothers Need to Raise Extraordinary Men (Kindle Edition)
'Strong Mothers, Strong Sons' written by M.D. Meg Meeker is a book that I "accidentally" read, but I'm glad because it is a well-made helpful non-fiction which I can fully recommend to all mothers who embark into the exciting journey of motherhood.
Meeker wrote his book as a kind of survival manual for mothers who love their sons indefinitely. Her book of ten chapters on nearly 400 pages full of parenting tips on proper education, love and emotional development, the author begins with some personal stories from her medical career in which she had the opportunity to meet with many parents. Based on their experience she created this book, for which is evident that it was written by a person who knows much about the subject, spending more than twenty years counseling teens and parents, practicing pediatric and adolescent medicine.
The relationship between mother and son is sensitive in itself, especially in adolescence, but the author specifically discussed the situation of single-parent families in which their relationship is even more important for the development of young person in an emotionally mature and healthy adult.
Meg Meeker, in addition to good practices, unique needs and positive experiences, do not hesitate to talk about the issues and bad things she has experienced, explaining in which upbringing aspects mothers usually make mistakes; she talks about excessive devotion to the children, but in the way that it does not sound as mere enumeration of bad practices, but argumented statements based on extensive experience and medical knowledge.
I especially liked the part of the book in which the author says is never too late to mend things in relationships of mothers and their sons, and the importance she gives to the emotions and their expressing that she constantly repeats with a reason.
'Strong Mothers, Strong Sons' I read by accident because I was attracted with its cover, and then the pages went easily one after another because of the way the book was written - educative, wise and based on experience.
Therefore, this wonderful book by Meg Meeker can be recommended to all mothers that inside its covers certainly will be able to find even more than me, in which I'm convinced.

Coulter: Reagan Was Great Because He Fought "Government Endorsement of Homosexuality"
Ann Coulter is scheduled to headline GOProud's "Homocon 2010" on Saturday night.
So I guess it only makes sense that she would dedicate her most recent column to explaining that what made Ronald Reagan great and Barry Goldwater a nobody was the Reagan cared about social issues ... especially opposing homosexuality:
The social issues were the difference. Reagan agreed with Goldwater on fiscal and national defense issues, but by 1980, social issues loomed large and Reagan came down mightily on one side -- the opposite side as Goldwater, as it turned out.
Unlike abortion-loving Goldwater, Reagan said, "We cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide."
And unlike gay-marriage-loving Goldwater, Reagan said: "Society has always regarded marital love as a sacred expression of the bond between a man and a woman. It is the means by which families are created and society itself is extended into the future. ... We will resist the efforts of some to obtain government endorsement of homosexuality."
Goldwater wasn't our guy; Reagan was.
I guess if GOProud's mission is to resist efforts to obtain government endorsement of homosexuality, then asking Coulter to headline their "party to celebrate gay conservatives" is a smart move since she thinks that what made Reagan great was his commitment to doing just that.

Eric Lyle Williams, 46, and his wife, Kim Lene Williams, 46, have been charged with capital murder in an apparent revenge plot that shook Kaufman County and sparked fear of an unprecedented attack on the rule of law in Texas.
Suspicion of involvement by Mexican drug cartels and a white-supremacist prison gang faded, as officials believe the couple acted alone in killing Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse outside the county courthouse in late January, and District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, in their home on March 30.
Eric Williams did the shooting and Kim Williams did the driving in Hasse's killing, and she waited in the car while her husband killed the McLellands at their home, Kaufman County Sheriff David Byrnes said Thursday at a news conference.
"It's kind of mind-boggling to me that someone would go out and shoot three innocent people for any motive," Byrnes said. "It would appear any motive would be from his past legal problems."
The former justice of the peace had been prosecuted by McLelland and Hasse in the theft of three computers. In that case, the prosecutors presented testimony that Williams had made death threats against a former girlfriend and an attorney.
A jury found Williams guilty; he received two years' probation and lost his law license and job.
Byrnes said the case broke open when officials discovered a storage unit containing weapons and a vehicle. Kim Williams confessed to her role and that of her husband, officials said, and a capital murder charge against her followed. (Under Texas law, accomplices can be charged with the same charges as a main perpetrator.)
Eric Williams has been in the Kaufman County jail since Saturday, when officials had arrested him on suspicion of making a "terroristic threat" against investigators from his personal computer the day after the McLellands' deaths. "The threat implied unless law enforcement responded to the demands of the writer, another attack would occur," police said in the affidavit establishing probable cause for his arrest.
"Eric Williams has always been on the radar," Byrnes said. "We talked to him immediately after Mark Hasse's death and also the night of the McLelland shooting. ... We obviously had arrested Eric before on this other thing, and it's obviously not pleasant. ... (This was) someone who used to be a reserve officer for me. So it's very distasteful, to say the least."

Egypt receives $12b orders for overseas dollar bond sale
Move includes the country's first issue of 30-year bonds
Cairo: Egypt received $12 billion in orders for the North African country's first overseas sale of dollar bonds in nine years, according to a banker familiar with the transaction.
The bonds are expected to be priced midday New York time, said the banker, who declined to be identified because terms aren't set.
The country may sell $1 billion of 10-year notes to yield about 5.875 per cent and $500 million of 30-year bonds to yield about 7 per cent, said another banker yesterday. It's the country's first 30-year bond, according to Reham Al Desoki, economist at Beltone Fin-ancial in Cairo.
Egypt is selling securities after the extra yield investors demand to hold emerging-market securities rather than Treasuries sank to 2.309 percentage points April 15, the lowest level since December 2007. The government plans to reduce the budget deficit estimated at 7.9 per cent of gross domestic product in the fiscal year starting July, from a projected 8.4 per cent this year, Finance Minister Youssef Boutros-Ghali said on March 4.
"The 30-year bond is partly to diversify the sources of financing and extend debt duration," said Mohammad Abu Basha, an economist at EFG-Hermes Holding SAE in Cairo. The budget shortfall is "mostly financed by short-term domestic" treasury bills, he said.
HSBC Holdings Plc and Morgan Stanley are managing the debt offering.
The nation's debt is rated Ba1 by Moody's Investors Service and BB+ by Standard & Poor's and Fitch.
