Boy burned after Blackberry bursts into flames
Updated On: Dec 06 2012 12:46:54 AM EST
An 11-year-old British boy suffered serious burns after his brother's Blackberry burst into flames.
Kian McCreath, 11, was sleeping when the Blackberry Curve 9320, which was charging, made a loud "pop" in the middle of the night and appeared to spontaneously combust, The Daily Telegraph reported.
His mother told WGN News she awoke to her son screaming about his legs being on fire.
She used his comforter to put out the flames, but Kian suffered serious burns and is now permanently scarred.
"It was just horrific," Sarah McCreath told the Telegraph. "He was in a lot of pain as his feet had pretty much been engulfed in flames. The bed was charred and the phone itself was just a blackened shell. It could have easily been much worse if he hadn't have woken up."
Kian's family is asking that the phone be recalled from stores in time for Christmas.
A spokesman for RIM, the company that owns Blackberry, said an investigation is a priority.

Summer Rae
Real Name
Danielle Moinet
Date of Birth
November 28, 1983
Place of Birth
It has now been revealed that WWE pays their developmental wrestlers approximately $25000 a year. There's usually a two or three year commitment involved as well. An established guy like Kenta Kobayashi may be receiving a higher salary, however. The average amount is definitely less than what some of these guys with name value can make on the independent wrestling circuit.
September 11, 2014
There are talks that Mr Anderson could be one of the next wrestlers to leave TNA. He signed a new contract last October, and it was reportedly for just a year. Since the company has been trying to be very cautious with their budget, Anderson could become a casualty. Reports surfaced in May that the former world heavyweight champion was one of the remaining performers with a big salary.
August 21, 2014
Reports surfaced this week that WWE has banned Alberto Del Rio from wrestling in the United States for approximately 10 or 11 months because he was found to be in breach of his contract. The former world heavyweight champion will be allowed to work in Mexico as he pleases. Del Rio may not take legal actions against WWE because the company would be paying him a salary during the next year.
August 16, 2014
As many already know, WWE has been trying to downplay the importance of Great Khali to the company. For years, he was paid a very high salary because of his overseas marketing appeal. However, with WWE losing a ton of money lately, there are talks that the former world heavyweight champion could become a casualty soon. Giving him a release would save WWE close to a million dollars a year.
August 13, 2014
Over the last year, the status of Hernandez in TNA has been up in the air. We now know that the former tag team champion is no longer under contract. His deal with TNA expired, and management opted to not renew it. Instead, the company will be utilizing the salary slot on newer performers. That has been the company strategy as of late.
May 13, 2014
Since the two sides could not come to an agreement on a new contract, Frankie Kazarian finished up his stint with TNA this week by working a pair of taped Impact Wrestling episodes. Rumors have it that management is letting the veteran performer walk, so that they could use his salary slot to sign a pair of younger and cheaper wrestlers.
May 12, 2014
"My contract was started midway thru the year last year but altogether with salary+appearances I was on pace for roughly $75,000-$84,000 for a year period. That's if my schedule is as busy as it was last summer/fall. Also that's only counting TNA. I'd make a lot more if I kept up with other bookings outside but I just don't. I'm also guaranteed a huge chunk of that regardless of if I wrestle or not. So it's pretty ok considering I do what I love. I'm on the low end on the roster too. Most guys do way better than me." - Manik reveals salary in TNA
April 19, 2014
While the actual numbers are not available online as he is still a fairly new performer on the main roster, the belief is that Bray Wyatt does not have a high salary in WWE at the moment. The downside guarantee is said to be on the low end, but since he has been featured heavily on pay per view events, he supplements his salary with monthly bonus checks.
March 27, 2014
While fans are under the impression that professional wrestlers are all getting rich, that simply is not the case, especially for a lower level performer like Jinder Mahal. The 3MB member is currently being paid $75,000 a year by WWE in downside guarantees. That salary seems like a lot, but Mahal has to pay for his own travel expenses every week.
March 26, 2014
While he is not a main event performer in WWE, Kofi Kingston draws in a pretty good salary. His downside guarantee is $254,200 a year. Even though he does have to pay for his own travel expenses, Kingston does get thrown into a couple of pay per view events per year, which gives his annual salary a nice boost from the PPV bonuses.
March 24, 2014
Since he is viewed as an international marketing asset and an occasional main event performer, Alberto Del Rio is one of the few guys in WWE that has a salary that is higher than half a million a season. The former world heavyweight champion has a downside guarantee of $675,000 a year. He also receives a good amount of pay per view bonuses as well.
March 23, 2014
A website called Sport Rich List is claiming that Scott Steiner has a net worth of approximately $4.4 million, which instantly caused wrestling fans to wonder about the legitimacy of that claim, as the former WWE star has not collected a big salary in quite some time. There are those that believe that he is suing TNA because he is hoping to cash in a big pay day.
March 21, 2014
Some interesting salary details were released about WWE today, and it has now been revealed that Triple H is collecting two checks from the company. He receives $550000 a year for being the executive vice president of talent and live events. HHH also receives $1 million a year to be a wrestler and on screen character as well.
March 20, 2014
Thanks to being a part of a popular act for a while there, Brodus Clay maintains a pretty good salary from his bosses in WWE. The former bodyguard for Snoop Dogg is now being paid $170,000 a year as a professional wrestler. Being paid more than six figures is considered quite a feat for someone that does not receive consistent time on television.
March 19, 2014
In order to steal him away from WCW, Vince McMahon had to throw a good amount of money at the Big Show. More than a decade after the fact, his salary still remains among the top of the list in WWE. Big Show is currently being paid $1,050,000 a year in downside guarantee, and his pay per view bonuses kick it quite a bit as well.
March 17, 2014
Celebrity DBI, a website that tracks the name value of celebrities, has Hulk Hogan at 96% popularity, which puts him just below NBA legend Michael Jordan, who is sitting at 98%. His cultural relevance was the reason why he was able to command a huge salary from TNA and why he was able to get Vince McMahon to hand him big checks now.
February 24, 2014
There are those in the company that still believe that Vince McMahon is keeping wrestlers on the roster because of Linda McMahon and her ongoing political career. Guys like Evan Bourne, Ezekiel Jackson, Hunico, JTG and Yoshi Tatsu are still on the contract and receiving a salary from the company despite not doing much.
February 24, 2014
"With Brock I'll be honest with you, he was getting paid about four or five times more than everyone else in the developmental programme because of who he was. You don't come across an athletic specimen like that who won the NCAA Heavyweight Championship everyday. However he was not a natural wrestling fan, not a natural wrestling student, he was a bit boring in the ring to be honest because he wasn't used to being a showman. Also for a world class athlete I didn't think he was trying five times as hard as his salary." - Jim Cornette discusses Brock Lesnar as a developmental wrestler
February 14, 2014
While he is no longer being pushed as a legitimate threat towards the main event scene, the Great Khali is pulling in a huge salary from WWE still. He is pulling in approximately $974,000 a year, which is mainly due to the fact that he is massively popular in India and generates interest from that market
December 12, 2013
Rumors are floating around that there is more to the story of Summer Rae and Layla El teaming up than what WWE tells us on television. Many are saying that the move was in response to Velvet Sky and Angelina Love being back together in TNA. Management wanted to reunite LayCool, but since Michelle McCool was not interested in making a full time return, they opted to go with Summer Rae, as the two of them share a physical resemblance.
July 19, 2014
While a lot of fans are hoping to see WWE giving Dolph Ziggler a push again, the on screen relationship between he and Summer Rae is more about the diva than the former world heavyweight champion. Management needed someone to pair her up with, so that she can continue her feud against Fandango and Layla El. WWE still wants to give her a nice push heading into the next season of Total Divas.
July 6, 2014
With AJ Lee finally making her return to WWE, the competition in the divas division just got a bit tougher. Someone is going to be losing television time. Naomi Knight and Cameron appear to be safe, as they have a heel turn story line in progress. Summer Rae and Layla El appear to have their weekly television spots secured for the time being. Paige is going to be working a program against AJ, so she should be fine. The belief is that Alicia Fox will be the one demoted, even though her character was gaining a little bit of momentum over the last couple of weeks.
July 5, 2014
Last week, Miz made his long rumored return to Monday Night Raw. However, he came back to WWE alone. Ric Flair was not by his side as expected. The legendary performer is still expected to make his television return soon, but it looks like he might not be paired up with Miz after all. Flair had petitioned the company to work with Dolph Ziggler, but WWE went in a different direction by pairing him up with Summer Rae instead.
July 5, 2014
After their segment on Monday Night Raw this week, there is a lot of speculation going around about Dolph Ziggler and Summer Rae. There has been no confirmation that they are dating in real life. The belief is that this is a move by WWE to make both of them slightly more relevant and to have a foil for Fandango and Layla El. This on screen relationship between Ziggler and Summer could be a short term thing.
July 1, 2014
To calm down the Money in the Bank 2014 audience, WWE opted to go with another divas match as a filler. Layla El and Summer Rae battled in a match, where Fandango served as the special guest referee. Fans were so disinterested in the segment that a CM Punk chant broke out. In the end, Layla caught Summer with a kick to gain the pinfall. Layla and Fandango kissed after the match, while a despondent Summer looked on.
June 29, 2014
WWE is currently planning a big match between Summer Rae and Layla El, where Fandango would be the special guest referee. Rumors are floating around that the writers will do a story line where Fandango starts to question his decision to leave Summer Rae. If this gains enough steam, then WWE would even consider putting it on a pay per view.
May 24, 2014
Now that Summer Rae has completed the filming of Marine 4 with the Miz, she will be returning to Monday Night Raw and Smackdown very soon. Upon her return to television, expect her to be utilized as a baby face in a feud against Layla El and Fandango. WWE could pair her up with a male performer, such as Dolph Ziggler, to even the odds in the feud.
May 15, 2014
The wait is almost over for the handful of Miz fans, as the former WWE champion is set to make his return this week. Filming for the Marine 4, which stars Miz and WWE diva Summer Rae, is close to completion. There won't be much time for Miz to catch his breath, as he will immediately jump on a plane and head to Europe with the other WWE stars.

May 12, 2014
In case you're wondering why Summer Rae has not been seen on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown recently, it's because she is currently off doing a sequel to the Marines movies, which also stars the Miz. News coming out of the set is that the WWE diva is actually doing some of her own stunts in the movie, which has impressed the production crew.
May 2, 2014
"I think someone who has helped me the most in the locker room has been one of my closest friends, [WWE interviewer and host] Renee is just really cool. It's good to get a non-wrestling, non-diva perspective on matches. She is very funny, good comic relief. We're kind of buds. I love my Renee Young." - Summer Rae reveals who she is friends with backstage
April 26, 2014
Even though her character was dumped by Fandango in the story line, do not expect a face turn for Summer Rae. The blonde diva will be working as a heel when she returns to WWE after filming her parts in the upcoming Marine sequel. Summer will also be utilized more as a wrestler this time around as opposed to being a side character.
April 17, 2014
One of the big reasons why WWE put Layla El with Fandango is because Summer Rae is taking a couple of weeks off of television to film a sequel to the Marine with the Miz. WWE wanted to keep Fandango on television, but they did not feel that his act would be nearly as popular without a female companion. Thus, Layla was chosen to take over the role.

April 15, 2014
Since Summer Rae is going to be pushed as a singles star now, WWE opted to split her up from Fandango, who sold the story line through his Twitter account. As many saw on Smackdown this week, Summer Rae has been replaced with Layla El, who actually has experience as a dancer. WWE has been trying to find a role for Layla since her return.
April 12, 2014
Despite being a pretty popular act, WWE has decided to split up Summer Rae and Fandango, who has been selling the story line through social media over the past couple of days. Fandango is being paired with another person soon, as his act needs a female dancer. Summer Rae will be utilized as more of an in ring performer with the rest of the Total Divas cast.
April 10, 2014
If you're in New Orleans this week for Wrestlemania 30, you have a chance to party with the cast of Total Divas. Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, Summer Rae, Eva Marie, Natalya Neidhart, Cameron and Naomi Knight are all scheduled to be at the Masquerade night club. The camera crew from E! will be there as well to film footage for an upcoming episode.
April 4, 2014

Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images(ATLANTA) -- The Cleveland Browns let a nine point fourth quarter lead slip away, but kicker Billy Cundiff hit another game winning field goal as time expired to give his team a 26-24 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer threw three picks, but found a way to lead his team down the field in the final minute to set up the Cundiff game winner.
Browns Josh Gordon pulled in eight passes for 127 yards in his first game since being suspended for 10 games due to violating the NFL substance abuse policy.
"I knew the guys weren't going to quit on me," Gordon said. "I definitely wasn't going to quit on them."
Hoyer admitted that he was not happy with his performance even though the Browns came out with the win.
"Nothing to lose, really," Hoyer said when asked about the final drive. "Go out and play fearless. That's all I have at that point."

|Kevin John Barlow
Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom
|7 July 1986
(aged 28)
Pudu Prison, Malaysia
|Drug trafficking
|Brian Geoffrey Shergold Chambers
|7 July 1986
Pudu Prison, Malaysia
|Drug trafficking
The Barlow and Chambers execution refers to the hanging in 1986 by Malaysia of two Australian citizens, Kevin John Barlow and Brian Geoffrey Chambers of Perth, Western Australia, for the drug trafficking of 141.9 g of heroin.
The two men became the first Westerners to be executed under Malaysia's new tougher laws for drug offences that prescribe death for anyone convicted of having over 50 grams of heroin. Barlow was born in the UK in Stoke-on-Trent and held dual British and Australian nationalities.[1] Barlow's family made appeals to UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to make a protest about the impending execution, and an appeal for clemency to the Malaysian government from Australian politician Bill Hayden was made.[2] The executions caused public outcry and strained political relations between Australia and Malaysia at the time.
Between early 1981 and the end of 1983 Chambers had made at least twelve trips abroad to transport heroin to Australia.[3] In 1980 Chambers and his then-girlfriend imported heroin to Australia using body packing techniques: Chambers placed some in his anus, the girlfriend inserted packets into her anus and vagina. The rest of the load was swallowed. The two were using the same technique in 1981 when, on transit in Singapore, customs officers detected Chambers' two vials of personal-use heroin in his jacket pocket. They were released after bribing officers. Chambers and his then girlfriend, Susan Cheryl Jacobsen, decided to move to Melbourne to escape Perth's organised crime scene. Driving intoxicated near Penong, South Australia, Chambers crashed the vehicle. Chambers was not seriously injured however Jacobsen received severe injuries. Jacobsen spent several days in a coma before dying of her injuries on 20 May 1983.[4]
The drug run was organised by Perth criminal John Asciak. Chambers was enlisted for the job due to his experience in the task. Asciak spent much time at the residence of his girlfriend Debbie Colyer-Long and got to know her boarder, Kevin Barlow. Asciak soon learned Barlow had little money and few prospects for regular work.[5] At the time Barlow was on compensation after injuring himself at work. He was depressed, consuming a lot of alcohol and marijuana after losing his girlfriend. He had also been threatened with the repossession of his car.[6]
Though Barlow and Chambers later testified they were tourists travelling alone who met by chance in Singapore and then opted to travel together, their meeting in Singapore in October 1983 was planned by Asciak. Chambers had previously had a meeting with Barlow in Perth to approve him for the job. To help conceal their activities, Barlow had flown to Singapore directly from Perth, while Chambers had flown there via Sydney.[7] After the Singapore meeting they disobeyed orders by travelling together and sharing the same hotel rooms; they had been directed to stay apart.[8]
Barlow was a novice on his first drug run; he was convinced by organisers that as Chambers was an experienced drug courier the plan would proceed smoothly.[6] Barlow was initially confident the drug run would be successful.[9]
The proposed drug run had been openly discussed by John Asciak and Kevin Barlow in the household of Debbie Colyer-Long prior to the event. Colyer-Long's brother-in-law Trevor Lawson learned of it and had informed the National Crime Authority of the scheme.[5]
Having met in Singapore, Barlow and Chambers travelled by train to Penang in Malaysia. The package of drugs was buried in a beach in Penang. Chambers was given directions to the site and dug the package up. Barlow was present but had not known the location of the heroin.[10]
Initial plans were that Barlow and Chambers conceal the drugs by inserting packages into their anuses and swallowing the rest. Barlow refused to do either, the former for reasons of distaste, the latter due to health concerns with that method. Chambers relented and placed the several packages of drugs, which were within plastic carry bags and wrapped in newspaper, into a newly purchased maroon suitcase. Barlow had become very nervous after the collection of the drugs.[11]
Barlow and Chambers were observed alighting from the same taxi at Bayan Lepas International Airport on 9 November 1983. Barlow carried the maroon suitcase and entered the airport. He bypassed the luggage scanning area and approached the check-in desk. Chambers, carrying Barlow's bags, paid the taxi, entered the airport and passed through the luggage scanning area, and joined Barlow at the check-in desk. They were detained by police and Barlow was seen to be very nervous.[12]
Taken to an interview room they were asked to open the suitcases. Chambers opened the bags he was carrying. Barlow said he was unable to open the case he had carried and that it was Chambers' case. Chambers unlocked the case's combination locks and the drugs were found, however he claimed he had not known the contents of the smaller carry bags the drugs were in.[13]
When police handcuffed them, they were reportedly "shivering terribly".[6]
They were imprisoned in Penang Prison for all of 1984 and most of 1985. The prison was overcrowded. Built in 1849 to house up to 350 prisoners, in 1984 it housed 2000 people including women and babies. Barlow and Chambers were locked in a two by three metre square cell together with up to three other prisoners for 22 hours a day, with an exercise period being allowed only if all cellmates had behaved that day. Chambers was well liked in prison; however Barlow had trouble adjusting, and was described as being a "lunatic" and "cracking up".[14]
Barlow attempted to excuse his actions by claiming that he had been forced to take the trip and his girlfriend threatened if he refused.[15]
Their trial started 17 July 1985 at the High Court of Penang. The trial opened with both men claiming the drugs found in the maroon suitcase belonged to the other. Chambers was represented at the trial by Rasiah Rajasingham and Barlow by Karpal Singh.[16]
Chambers remained handcuffed through the trial. Barlow was not cuffed but used crutches due to a groin injury. The arresting officer testified that he saw Barlow holding the maroon suitcase and shivering while waiting to board the plane. The court heard that Chambers had acknowledged ownership of the suitcase two days after the arrest. Chambers testified in court that he didn't know about the drugs in the case, and that Barlow had also used the case. Chambers also testified that Barlow had attempted to bribe a policeman at the airport when the drugs were discovered.[16]
On 23 July the judge rejected Singh's attempt to have Rajasingham disqualified on grounds that he had received confidential information from Barlow in the nine months before the trial when he acted for both of the accused. The trial concluded 24 July and both men were found guilty. The trial judge deferred pronouncing sentence for a week to enable lawyers of the two men to prepare submissions to him which might be used in an appeal to the supreme Court of Malaysia, and to hear submissions on behalf of Barlow that he should be allowed to return to Australia immediately for an operation on his leg.[16] The prosecutors surmised that as they had arrived, stayed, and were leaving together, they had a common purpose of trafficking drugs.[17]
On 1 August 1985 Barlow and Chambers attended their sentencing hearing to learn they had received the death sentence by hanging.[16]
Police and legal sources confirmed that Chambers at least was the victim of an informer. Prior to his arrest three or four Penang drug dealers had been detained and interrogated about Chambers' movements. The informers' evidence was kept secret at the trial. The drug habits of Barlow and Chambers were likewise not mentioned at the trial as it would have prejudiced their cases, and exposed the heroin trade inside Malaysian prisons.[18]
They sought an appeal against the original sentence on the grounds that the original trial judge had drawn unwarranted inferences from circumstantial evidence and had erred on several points. Other arguments of the appeal revolved around the credibility of the arresting officer's testimony, and questions of whether Barlow and Chambers acted with a "common purpose" in trafficking in the drugs.[19]
On 15 December 1985 they were transferred to Kuala Lumpur for their appeal to the Malaysian Supreme Court. There they were imprisoned in Pudu Prison. Barlow continued to profess his innocence.[20] Pudu prison had been built in 1895 to hold about 700. By 1986 it held around 6,000 prisoners, almost 50 of whom were drug dealers sentenced to death.[18]
The appeal started 16 December 1985. Chambers was represented at the appeal by Perth barrister Ron Cannon.[16] Barlow's lawyer Karpal Singh was assisted by Melbourne barrister Frank Galbally at the appeal. On 16 December a row broke out between Singh and Galbally in the court room and was witnessed by press and court staff. The argument occurred after the judges had adjourned for the day and left the court, and lasted about five minutes. Galbally had urged Singh to file an additional ground for appeal for their client. Singh had said there was "little point" doing this, as no fresh evidence was involved. Galbally believed Barlow's shivering could be attributed to a spinal injury, however Singh reasoned that this was already adequately covered by medical evidence at the trial and in the existing appeal. At the appeal Singh had argued that Barlow's shivering could be attributed to his existing medical condition, or a foreigner's "unease" at being confronted by police. After the argument Singh finally left the room, warning Galbally over his shoulder not to criticise Malaysia's British-based legal system or suggest Australia's was superior.[21] Singh attempted to have Galbally charged with contempt. The day after the row Galbally was asked for, and gave, an apology to the court for his words in court.[16]
The appeal court on 18 December 1985 upheld the trial judge's decision to invoke the death penalty because the amount of the drug carried was in excess of the 15 gram cut-off point used to distinguish users from traffickers.[2] On death row, Chambers had taken up biblical studies with a Western Catholic Missionary. He broke down and wept in her arms in the dock when three appeals judges upheld the conviction.[18]
Galbally was not in court for the final decision of the appeal; Australian officials reported he had left Malaysia the night of 17 December after apologising to the Supreme Court over the row over contempt. After the result was publicised Galbally suggested that Barlow would have been found not guilty had the medical evidence he wanted introduced been admitted by the court. The evidence he wanted heard at the appeal was that Barlow had a nervous shake; the prosecution had used Barlow's shake at the time of his arrest as grounds for his guilt.[19]
After the rejection of their appeal, Australia's Foreign Minister Bill Hayden contacted the Governor of Penang asking that the sentence be commuted to imprisonment on humanitarian grounds. Hayden stated that "I have always been and remain firmly opposed to capital punishment, and accordingly I will be pressing the presentation of this appeal for clemency with a great sense of urgency."[19]
Through the ordeal of Barlow and Chambers, their mothers, Sue Chambers and Barbara Barlow, publicly supported the defence of innocence. However in a joint letter to the King of Malaysia Sultan Iskandar pleading for their lives, they acknowledged their sons' guilt, saying they "regretted their wrongdoing."[6]
Barlow and Chambers were hanged in Pudu Prison on 7 July 1986.[1] Kevin Barlow's mother Barbara Barlow reportedly prepared a suicide potion for her son to enable him to evade death by hanging. She prepared the mixture of 75 sleeping tablets dissolved in gin, whisky and brandy in her hotel room and smuggled it into the prison in a small plastic bottle concealed in her handbag. However, fearing her son would use it before all avenues of appeal had been exhausted she made the last-minute decision to keep the secret solution to herself.[22]
Malaysia had introduced the death penalty for drug trafficking in 1983 as a reaction to a burgeoning drug trade in the region. By mid 1986 Malaysia had hanged about 35 people in ten years, mostly Chinese Malaysians convicted of drug trafficking. Lawyers and government officials reportedly agreed that the country risked a political and ethnic outcry if it made exceptions based on the ethnicity of its defendants. As Australian public support for Barlow and Chambers was minimal Malaysia risked little diplomatic damage from carrying-out the execution.[18]
Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke made a passionate plea for a stay of execution on behalf of the two men.
Hawke later described the hanging as "barbaric", a remark which chilled Australian relations with Malaysia.[23] Relations between the two nations were reportedly affected for a decade afterwards.[24] In response to the argument that no one has the right to take another's life, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad replied, "You should tell that to the drug traffickers."[25]
At a press conference that occurred after the hangings Mohamad criticised use of the word "barbaric" and said it should not have been used to refer to Malaysia because "we have never had any lynchings and things like that which only barbarians like to do." He also said that hanging as a method of executing criminals originated in the west.[26]
Umno Youth Leader Anwar Ibrahim also said use of the term "barbaric" was regrettable. He said "It is a generative word that passes judgement on our society—something we cannot accept and did not expect from such a friendly country." He argued that the consequences of drug trafficking were well known in Malaysia, and the need for strong deterrents to eliminate the activity was accepted internationally.[27] The conference of State Legislative Assembly speakers in Shah Alam also rejected Hawke's comment. They said it gave the impression Australia belittled Malaysian law and "considers the capital punishment meted out to the two as uncivilised and unsuitable for this day and age." The speakers at the conference unanimously passed an emergency resolution expressing their "grave view" of the statement. The conference felt that such comments should not have come from a national leader who upheld the law and that the statement had touched on the sovereignty of Malaysia's laws and the legal system.[28]
After their sentencing an investigative trip by Detective Sergeant Carl Mengler of the National Crime Authority of Australia had included interviews with various Australians imprisoned in South East Asia for drug trafficking. Chambers had refused to meet him but Barlow gave information about the planning of the trip, however he knew only sketchy details of the organisers.[29] This meeting took place in January 1986. The information Barlow gave to Mengler during this interview was later corroborated by Debbie Colyer-Long.[6]
Australian Federal Police denied that they had tipped off Malaysian Police about the claims made by Trevor Lawson.[30]
In June 1988 in Perth, Western Australia, John Asciak was found guilty of conspiring with Barlow and Chambers to import 179 grams of heroin. He had been implicated by Barlow when he was interviewed in prison by the National Crime Authority of Australia in 1986. The court heard Asciak recruited Barlow, who he knew had financial problems, and offered him $6,000 to conduct the drug run. Barlow was later introduced to Chambers in Perth. Asciak, who denied the charges, was found guilty and sentenced to ten years prison.[31]

i was reading that i should clean my wort chiller in boiling water and vinegar before using it, and was wondering should i have done the same for my copper mash tun manifold as well?
Because it's used before the boil, contamination is not a concern because the wort will be boiled before fermentation. If it is caked in crud, then yes, you should clean it.
ok so the fact that i used it for my first all grain batch and didnt clean it with vinegar and water, wont affect the taste of my beer?
I'm not entirely sure. But my best guess would be no.
If this is the first time you used it, you would have been wise to clean it thoroughly with an alkaline cleaner like Oxyclean or dishwasher detergent in hot water to remove any grease, oil or dirt that was present. Then a rinse with vinegar in water to neutralize and dissolve any excess oxidation present. After the first use, the wort will dissolve or reduce the oxides of copper and give you a shiny coppery chiller. No need to clean it after that unless it sits a long time and corrodes again to brown or green colors. If it does, a water and vinegar soak will take care of it.

We present a toolbox that enables access to real robotics and automation (R&A) equipment from the MATLAB shell. If used in conjunction with a robotics toolbox, it will extend significantly their application, i.e., besides robotic simulation and data analysis, the user can interact online with the equipment he or she is using. This article briefly presents the software architecture adopted and how it was used to generate the MATLAB MEX files presented. It then exemplifies application to two types of equipment, complemented with a generic manipulation example using a robotic gripper.

23. MusicAlright. So, before you read...this is my...er, interesting attempt at writing song lyrics. (Hence being under the title music. Mmmyes.) Those of you that know me should know that I HATE poetry (loathe completelyyy). Anyway. I was in a poetry sort of mood--oh god, look out, the apocalypse is starting. So here's my attempt at song-lyric-style-poetry...stuff. 2 verses, a bridge, and choruses are italicized. Err...yeah. Enjoy. Or just try not to tear your eyes out.
Please dont blame me if I try to walk away,
Too many times Ive lost these games they play.
But theres just something about your smile,
That makes this risk seem worth my while.
For now, theres only one thing Ill say
My wounded hearts like glass
But Ill put it in your care.
Theres only one thing I will ask,
Just promise youll be there.
The tears Ive cried flow like a rive
51. SurpriseShe fumbled with the chopsticks, nearly dropping the piece of sushi into her lap. Note to self sushi is not good date food. A slight blush crept up her cheeks, coloring her skin a light pink. He grinned, which only made her feel more embarrassedat least for a moment.
Need help, doll? The comment and grin on his face almost made her choke on the piece of sushi she had somehow managed to get to her mouth. Fighting laughter and covering her mouth with her hand, she gave him a playful glare. After managing to swallow her mouthful and washing it down with a sip of her drink, she laughed out loud.
You are evil! And I might need some help They continued their dinner that way, laughing and joking, with him feeding her sushi even though she protested. Leaving the restaurant, he apologized for about the millionth time as she grabbed his hand, dragging
64. ForgottenHe is sitting at the far table in the corner, beer in hand. A few empty bottles on the table, lit cigarette held between two fingers. The lights are low, and soft music plays from a jukebox in the corner. She enters the doors and heads to the table, taking a seat across from him, getting a beer from the waiter before either of them speaks.
Her: So.
Him: Mhmm.
Her: Arent you going to ask What are you doing here? or something? I thought youd be surprised.
Him: What are you doin here? Or somethin.
Her: What do you think?
Him: Well, you sure as hell probably arent here to see me.
Her: Surprising, isnt it?
Him: Very. Why?
Her: I well
Him: Mhmm. Thats kinda what I was figurin. Look, just go on. You didnt have to come here to apologize to me for nothin.
96 MistakeI didnt
I suppose
Really any kind of emotion
Would have been nice.
Im staring
In the dark
Maybe pain, perhaps
That was what I should have been feeling.
For something.
But I see how
Easily you
I just regretted ever
Letting you get so close to my heart.

Hazel eyes. More green than anything else. Sometimes hints of brown, grey, orange. Orange, heh. Wrinkling my nose and squinting my eyes. Hah. Now that's just more silly than scary. A soft sigh, eyebrows furrowing in frustration. It isn't something you could see on the surface. No, not at all.
My brown-eyed knight, come save me. Why do I frighten you? Follow my song and don't be afraid. I need you by my side. I'm hardly a damsel in distress but my heart aches at the thought of a time when things were far from perfect and I--
.The worst is over now.
And we can

'American Idol' used to be the hottest show on television, but after thirteen years, it's starting to show its age. The show's ratings have slipped from regularly having 30 million viewers to now somewhere around 11 million. And though the show has had some different judges over the course of its run, it's now looking to ditch all four current judges to have a fresh face for Season 13.
Lately Mariah Carey's music has taken a back seat to her new life as a mom, but she's still dropping new song son us every now and then. Her latest features R&B sensation Miguel, and mixes classic Mariah together with classic soul.
The 'American Idol' feud between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey is still going strong -- and now gossip-blogger Perez Hilton has been pulled into the catfight.
There have been rumors that producers planned for one diva (Jennifer Lopez) to oust another (Mariah Carey) on the 'American Idol' judging panel mid-season in a desperate attempt to boost sagging ratings. However, the latest consensus is that it was J. Lo who contacted Fox, and not the other way around. That's a pretty (J) lo(w) blow and an affront to Mimi, no?
Just when you thought the bulk of 'American Idol' panel drama was done, a major bombshell has been revealed about the judges: Producers tried wooing Jennifer Lopez back to replace Mariah Carey in the middle of this season. Yikes!
While a lot of artists hate being compared to others, Ariana Grande isn't one of them. When her midtempo single, featuring her cooing in a whistle register, earned her Mariah Carey comparisons, she was honored, not peeved.
From the 90s to now, Mariah Carey has been with us. Now she's judging on 'American Idol', but we remember the days of 'Honey', 'Fantasy', and 'Heartbreaker' and want to wish Mariah a very happy 43rd birthday!
On Wednesday night's 'American Idol' Nicki Minaj got a bit mouthy, and decided to test Fox's censorship skills, multiple times. Check out the video.

Interview: Jeffrey Ford
Our sister site, Nebulaawards.com, has an interview with Jeffrey Ford who was nominated for his short story "The Dreaming Wind."
Our sister site, Nebulaawards.com, has an interview with Jeffrey Ford who was nominated for his short story "The Dreaming Wind."
Whenever I think I've seen it all, something new comes along.
The explosive growth of self-publishing options over the past decade or so has spawned a mini-industry catering to writers trying to get notice for their books. From publicity companies (some competent, many not) to the marketing packages hawked by self-publishing providers such as AuthorHouse (typically overpriced and largely ineffective) to completely worthless pseudo-services (email blasts, online catalogs, book fair "representation"), self-published authors these days have near-unlimited opportunities to spend money on self-promotion.
Such as this one, from self-publishing service Outskirts Press: put your book cover on a postage stamp.
No, I am not making this up. From an Outskirts' press release, dated today:
Outskirts Press, the fastest growing full-service self-publishing and book marketing company, recently announced it is making available to its family of over 4500 published authors an opportunity to feature their book cover on customized first-class US postage stamps.
Every envelope they send out can then promote their own books with these new eye catching stamps. These are legitimate, custom First Class U.S. Postal stamps, and they come in quantities of 120, each with a color image of the author's book cover.
This clever book marketing tool is just one more marketing device within an already expansive repertoire of promotional aids provided by Outskirts Press to its authors. Unlike many self-publishing firms, Outskirts Press understands the key role marketing plays in their authors' success, and they continually develop new promotional and marketing services for their authors to use well beyond the initial publication of their work.
Of course, Outskirts' "new promotional and marketing services" are also designed to snag their authors' dollars. Prices aren't mentioned in the press release, but per this list of add-ons to Outskirts' basic publishing packages, 120 custom stamps will set an author back $149.
When was the last time you took a careful look at a postage stamp?

Traditionally, in the magazine and newspaper industry, a kill fee is "a negotiated payment on a magazine or newspaper article that is given to the freelancer if their assigned article is 'killed' or cancelled." (Read the full definition here.) The contracts for the magazine articles I and Ann Crispin wrote for Writer's Digest included kill fees–but that was a few years back, and I suspect they are less common now.
In the world of small publishers, however, "kill fee" means something quite different: a fee–usually a few hundred dollars–paid by an author to her publisher for getting out of a contract early. I've seen a lot of small press contracts that include kill fees, and it's my impression that such clauses are becoming more common.
For obvious reasons, kill fee clauses are onerous for authors, who in some circumstances might have good reason to want to end a contract early, and can't do so without opening up their wallets. Plus, many publishers employ kill fee clauses abusively, holding them over the heads of unhappy authors, or attempting to use them as an income source by offering to jettison dissatisfied writers at the slightest provocation, or terminating the contracts of writers who've pissed them off and demanding the fee even though termination wasn't the writer's decision. EPIC, an association for epublished authors, identifies kill fees as a red flag contract clause–one that authors should absolutely avoid. I agree.
From an honest small publisher's perspective, on the other hand–a publisher that isn't planning on browbeating its authors with kill fees, or using the fees to try and make an extra buck–a kill fee may seem to make good business sense. "We don't want to hold onto an unhappy author," the publisher might reason. "But we invest a lot of work in editing, designing, marketing, etc. So if we can't maximize our investment by selling the author's book for the full contract term, it's only fair that we should get some reimbursement if she decides to leave early."
Problem is, if the unhappy author can't afford the kill fee, the publisher will wind up stuck with her anyway–along with the extra resentment produced by the author's knowledge that she could have gotten free if only she'd had the cash. (I recently heard from an author and publisher in exactly this situation.) Alternatively, if the author can afford the kill fee, she may see it as an easy exit, and jump ship without giving the publisher the chance to address whatever problems she thinks she's having–thus losing the publisher a book it might have retained if it had had more time to work things out.
So kill fees are a definite writer beware–but they're a publisher beware too, because while they may sound good in theory, in reality they can backfire. For publishers willing to let their unhappy authors go, it's far simpler–and far more author-friendly–just to allow authors to terminate the contract at will, without the potential complications and and bad feelings of a kill fee. Or, if the publisher prefers to try to resolve the problems, not to include a termination provision at all, and make termination decisions on a case-by-case basis.

From the Big Screen to Fisher: Media and Communication Adds Local Filmmaker to Adjunct Roster
Her work has been seen worldwide, and Newsweek named one of her films as one of the five best non-fiction films in 2001. Lucky for Fisher students, she has joined the Media and Communication Department this semester as an adjunct professor. Linda Moroney's résumé is extensive, and she is excited to add teaching at Fisher to her experience.
Moroney has produced films that have been shown on the big screen and on stage. The Greentopia/Film Director is also the founder of the Rochester Documentary Filmmakers Group and programmer for One Take: Stories through the Lens, a monthly documentary series at the Little Theatre in Rochester. She is a 1995 graduate of Hofstra University.
According to Moroney, she "cut her filmmaking teeth" working with Academy Award winner, Faith Hubley. She was also a producer on the independent feature-length documentary, "Ram Dass Fierce Grace," which landed her the accolades from Newsweek. The film was broadcast nationally on PBS in 2004.
In 2001, she served as a co-producer for Lemle Pictures, Inc., and was responsible for all public relations and marketing for the company's public screenings and for all previous documentary titles. She was also the company's representative at film festivals and conferences, and collaborated on the development of all new projects.
In 2007, Moroney was the Curator for the Animated Jazz Shorts from The Hubley Studio, which was a co-presentation by the Rochester International Jazz Festival, Rochester/High Falls Film Festival, and George Eastman House. From 2009-2011, she was the Managing Director/Programmer for the 360/365 George Eastman House Film Festival.
And if that's not enough, Moroney is also the co-founder of the Rochester Teen Film Festival and the Rochester Teen Film Camp, which is a week-long overnight camp for students 13-18 years old.
As she teaches the "Documentary and Non-Fiction Film" course at Fisher this semester, she will continue to produce and direct a feature-length documentary called, "Turn the Page," with Crystal Pix, as well as produce a documentary on the Dalai Lama.

Fearing 'cliff,' investors finish brutal week
NEW YORK — Wall Street is peering over the "fiscal cliff" and feeling vertigo.
The stock market finished one of the worst weeks of the year on Friday, pushing Washington to work out a deal to avoid the tax increases and government spending cuts set to take effect Jan. 1.
Remarks by re-elected President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner on the looming deadline did not do much to cheer the market. Stocks finished barely higher for the day.
For the week, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 277 points, or 2.1 percent. The Dow has fallen 795 points since hitting its closing high for the year, 13,610 on Oct. 5.
The S&P fell 2.3 percent during the week, its worst weekly decline since June 1, when investor concern about the debt crisis in Europe was rising.
Stocks began their slide on Wednesday in the biggest sell-off of the year after voters returned Obama, a Democratic Senate and a Republican House to power..
If the tax increases and spending cuts take full effect, the United States will likely fall back into recession, the Congressional Budget Office said on Thursday.
Boehner said on Friday that he remains unwilling to raise tax rates on upper-income earners. But he left open the possibility of balancing spending cuts with revenue increases that come from some revisions to the tax code.
Stocks managed a small rally. The Dow was up about 30 points when Boehner started talking and about 80 points shortly after.
Then Obama said he would not accept any approach to federal deficit reduction that does not ask the wealthy to pay more in taxes. A spokesman later said Obama would veto legislation extending tax cuts for families making $250,000 or more. The Dow began sliding just before Obama spoke at 1 p.m. and had lost its gain for the day by 1:30.
As they head into talks with Obama next week on the fiscal cliff, congressional leaders no doubt remember what can happen on Wall Street when investors are worried and watching Washington's every move.
In September 2008, at the depths of the financial crisis, the House defeated a $700 billion emergency rescue of the nation's financial system, sending the Dow plunging 777 points.
The Dow also slid for eight straight days in the summer of 2011 as politicians squabbled over a deal to raise the nation's federal borrowing limit before eventually reaching an accord Aug. 1.
The index slipped as much as 634 points between July 27 as the political bickering intensified and Aug. 5, when S&P downgraded the national credit rating, citing the weakening of U.S. political institutions as a reason for the cut.
On Friday, stocks pared losses as investors took encouragement about the economy from a report by the University of Michigan showing that consumer confidence rose more than expected in November.
The Dow finished up 4.07 points at 12,815.39. The S&P advanced 2.34 points to 1,379.85, and the Nasdaq composite gained 9.29 points to 9,204.87.
Stocks are well below the highs of this year. The S&P is down 5.5 percent from its peak of 1,465 in September, when the Federal Reserve announced a third round of a bond-buying program intended to hold down borrowing costs.
The dimming outlook for Europe also weighed on markets this week.

15" driver provides the vintage tone with the original-formula ceramic magnet. 8/16 ohms.
You love your amp and you use it all the time so you want to keep it sounding great. With a simple replacement of an amp speaker, you can customize and transform your well-loved amp into peak form. This kind of tweak can easily make your guitar tone sound even more brilliant. When you're looking at picking up a replacement speaker you will first have to consider voltage. The power of your speaker has to match the wattage of your amplifier. 60W speaker and a 60W amp will pair perfectly for instance. Impedance is the other consideration. If your amp has a rating of 4 ohms, you cannot pair it with a speaker that has a rating of any less than that. Keeping this in mind will ensure your install is a success. More importantly than that though, is finding a tone you love. Once you're ready to truly customize the way you project your sound, finding an enhanced speaker for your amp is a great way to truly create an original tone. If you're after a more vintage tone, options like the Celestion G12M-65 features a custom ceramic magnet that projects a warm bluesy vibe while the Jensen MOD15-120 touts having a heavier feel. If you're serious about creating a certain sound, there is a speaker that can make that happen. If you're replacing cabinet speakers you can easily find a selection that includes all four in one. Options like the Celestion Blues/Rock or Metal/Hard Rock combos include four by twelve speakers that are created to echo what you play in perfect harmony. Even if you don't have a large cabinet, speaker sets a great way to stock up or install into your collection of amps. Picking up a replacement speaker is an easy way to alter your guitar's tone without ever touching the guitar itself. Finding one that will give you the sound you want will encourage more performances to get you practicing even more than you already do.
