Geophagy, the deliberate ingestion of soil, is a widespread practice among animals, including humans. Although some cases are well documented, motivations and consequences of this practice on the health status of the consumer remain unclear. In this paper, we focused our study on chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) of the Kibale National Park, Uganda, after observing they sometimes ingest soil shortly before or after consuming some plant parts such as leaves of Trichilia rubescens, which have in vitro anti-malarial properties. Chemical and mineralogical analyses of soil eaten by chimpanzees and soil used by the local healer to treat diarrhoea revealed similar composition, the clay mineralogy being dominated by kaolinite. We modelled the interaction between samples of the two types of soil and the leaves of T. rubescens in gastric and intestinal compartments and assayed the anti-malarial properties of these solutions. Results obtained for both soil samples are similar and support the hypothesis that soil enhances the pharmacological properties of the bio-available gastric fraction. The adaptive function of geophagy is likely to be multi-factorial. Nevertheless, the medical literature and most of occidental people usually consider geophagy in humans as an aberrant behaviour, symptomatic of metabolic dysfunction. Our results provide a new evidence to view geophagy as a practice for maintaining health, explaining its persistence through evolution.

Picked up this system for use in a "games" room in my house. Great sound, not distorted/fuzzy at all. Love the inclusion of Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio playback, tested with a couple of Blu Ray concerts and sounded absolutely incredible.
For anyone looking for a great priced system with some bells and whistles featured on higher end units, I would highly recommend.
* Regarding Design, while the display does a nice job of relaying pertinent information, I would've preferred another line of text for more info.
Very nice basic surround sound system. For the price this package is top notch. Would recommend to anyone who is interested in a budget system.
I just got my system a few days ago and I must say I am pretty surprised what these little speakers can output! Full deep sound and very clear!
This system can definitely shake the ground if sound turned up! Overall, I am really happy with it! Hopefully it lasts a very long time!
Sounds awesome! Very happy with my purchase. Only problem I have is I have a Smart TV, the sound works with the rogers box, but will not output any sound when using Youtube or the internet.
Great system! Lots of inputs for all devices and great sound !
great stereo. awsome sound easy to put together. came with pleanty of wire and mounting screws for the speakers.
Got this unit at the weekend, it was on sale and also another $50 off, as it was an open box. It was real easy to set up took 20 minutes, lots of speaker wire, too much really. Sounds great, not wound the volume up fully yet though you can hear so much more stuff than with just the normal tv speakers. Remote works well, dedicated buttons for all components which makes it easy to use, but looks flimsy and cheap.
I was going to return it as the sales guy told me the USB connector allows films to be played via thumb drive, which was a feature I really wanted, but it only plays music. I will have to spend the money I saved, on a blu ray player with USB thumb drive for films, as I think I will keep it now its all set up.
This pioneer system is crisp and the subwoofer is just amazing and the picture quality is amazing. For those who want a great and affordable home theatre system spend the money on one of these easy and great sound pioneer has done.
I did considerable research before this purchase and I'm extremely satisfied with my decision. I have my external HD connected via USB to my WD Live TV, with HDMI 1.4 into my Pioneer Receiver and HDMI 1.4 from my Pioneer Receiver to My 47 " LG and the picture and sound are more than I anticipated.

By Patricia Deubel, Ph.D.
Today's students have come to expect learning on demand. They are not afraid of technology, and speed is the name of the game. They multitask, think less linearly than those of us over 30, enjoy fantasy as an element of their lives, are less tolerant of passive activities, and use their tools to stay connected with each other. Nevertheless, this situation has implications for educators.
I thought about this scenario in relationship to the eye-opening experience I recently had while listening to an archived Web presentation by George Siemens from Canada's University of Manitoba. He was discussing "connectivism," his theory of learning in the digital age. I was intrigued by his theory, but wondered: Does his theory have merit? Do we need another theory of learning? Is anyone buying into this? How is it different from constructivism, which also raised my eyebrows when I first learned about it way back when? However, the more I thought and read about connectivism, I began to see his point...

Yes, women are gradually taking over the workplace, but to whose detriment? Is this good or bad for the children and society? Most working women have forgotten their obligation and what it takes to raise good children, who would be useful not only to themselves but society at large. Abandoning children for worked has caused more harm to the children and society e.g drug abuse, gang members, untimely pregnancies and crime.
Your ascerbic & demanding comments epitomise so trenchantly the sayings: "Have your cake & eat it too" & "Give 'em a short inch & they'll grab a long mile"!!
It wouldn't surprise me if some women start questioning why males don't share the burden of gestation & child-bearing responsibilities, in their frenetic quest for total emancipation!
It's clear as mud to me that nuthin' can replace or compare with "motherhood" in the early, formative years of a child. The female of the species are the natural-born caregivers & nurturers. No two ways about it.
I like Uncle Clive's "homemaker allowance" as long as it can be used by either member of a couple. I know a couple where the father has long stayed home because he enjoys it and his wife has far greater earning potential in her field. They should be as rewarded as a "traditional" feamle-at-home couple.
To me the greatest thing about the new workforce is that women with children are NOT as stigmatized as they used to be in the last generation. When my mother raised child issues she was told by her employer if they wanted her to have children "they would have issued them". I have not been penalized in the same way for taking time off, yes, I am paid less, but it really isn't an equal footing. I do not work 7am-7pm; but even without children, I never desired that life.
I think that has been one of the biggest changes, the idea that the 8-hour workday is a myth. The idea that taking work home isn't really working, that everyone from CEO to the lowliest salaried should labor from before sunup to well after sundown. I wonder if we stopped subscribing to this as a whole, if life for all workers might not improve.
I noticed several comments were people seem to have a problem with the fact that overall, most women tend to be the primary caregiver. And while I fully agree that it's good for the dad to be involved, in "most" cases the mom will continue to be the primary care giver.
Let's face it, women and men ARE different. Which is why it's good for a child to have both a mom and a dad. Plus there are some things that a man will never be able to do (breast feeding etc).
Also, we shouldn't pretent that a lot of this isn't biological. Most women just have a stronger mothering instict than men (hence the phrase, lol). Yes there are plenty of exceptions, but that's what they are is exceptions.
Should men and women be treated equally in the workplace yes, but let's not pretend that we will ever get perfectly equal outcomes. That's just not how we are built.
Let me cut to the chase.
It is not about diversity. It is about producing a produce at of the best quality and the best price. This is how Americans make a purchase decision. If the product is good quality and a lower price then chances are Americans will purchase it over a higher priced product. If you have to pay more because some county has made their products cost more because of social enginering... do you care? That is the question. If America cared then China would never have gained market share it in our country, neither would Japan. Or, for that matter any third world ecomony.
By the way, Japan and China are the least diverse countries in the world. How are they so smart, Americans are being sold the idea that diversity in itself means we make smart decision... not so.
This article is very informative. I would like to add to it in order to outline a brief history of woman in the workforce.
The social, cultural, and political attitudes of modern society have enabled women to seize some power from men, despite being treated unfairly by unethical leaders, who continue to reinforce the "glass ceiling." Women understand that fruitful conversations promote sound business relationships and teamwork, thus contributing to an improvement in the bottom line.
Women are usually well organized: they manage a dual career, as homemakers and professional employees. Women often regard their fellow employees as family and take time to ascertain their personal needs. Hence, they can sometimes be taken undue advantage of. Competition is strange to most women because they were groomed for caring, rather than winning!
Fay Weldon, a writer, stated, "Worry less about what other people think of you, and more about what you think about them." A former mayor of Ottawa once said, "Whatever women do, they must do twice as well as men to be thought of as half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult!"
When women start to follow in the footsteps of many men, by being intoxicated by power, they lose their identity and bearings. Women should focus on a diplomatic approach and learn how to exude self-confidence while maintaining self-respect and deal with the competition without being intimidated or taken undue advantage of.
Women who achieve powerful positions in the corporate world may be subjected to personal and professional attacks because of their gender. Independent women are strong, fearless, and in control of their homes, families, emotions, and their working environment. They tackle problems with a heads-on approach, being steadfast in their pursuit of success and happiness.
Men and women should operate as a team, both within a corporate environment and outside one with synergy in mind. Members of either gender should not feel threatened by the presence or performance of the opposite sex. What we need is a positive approach to life and business in an attempt to increase personal, corporate, national, and international welfare.

Maxwell Pinto, Business Author
Women will be fully liberated only when:
They have the same opportunities without any compulsion or otherwise as men
They are elected and have empoerment soley based on merits without legilative measurs
The State should accept full resposibilty to rear the children
Unfortunately the overall tone and message of this article is reflective of, in large part, the entire issue facing women both in the workplace and in society. There is an overwhelming blindness to the real issues surrounding the gaining of equality and the real issues women and men are up against in the fight for equality.
The article poses the issues facing women as one of motherhood and not of sexism, social prejudice, traditional values, or the sheer impact of history. This is grossly misguided and simplistic, but unfortunately a wide spread belief which continues to mislead and hinder social progress toward equality. The article also disregards the still massive impact of sexism. A quick check of statistics show that even today, over 50% of women encounter some form of sexism at work. Yet, according to this article, motherhood is in the only real issue.
Motherhood is just one issue. However, the manner in which it is posed in this article is starkly contrast to any form in which the issue could be used to the benefit of progress for women. The article poses the issue of motherhood and work as one of increasing work environments that aid women in baring the brunt of child care. It is an avocation of the continued pigeon holing of women as the primary caregivers of children. The article safely stays clear of any suggestion whatsoever that the issue of motherhood an work is derived from an unequal distribution of work outside and within the home.
As long as we pin women as primary caregivers, ignore the broader social, historical and political issues that support inequality, and the more we simplify the issue, the further away we get from progress. The issue shouldn't be one of gender but one of social standards. Equal pay, hiring practices, treatment, expectations etc. should be maintained for all. We sell ourselves as a society that embraces equality, but unfortunately, articles such as this one make it clear we are a long way from living that ideal.
How foolish. Removing parents from the lives of their children (i.e. to wage-slave for 'the man') is not progress. Whence this perversion? (Suggestion: 'The man').
"All this argues, mostly, for letting the market do the work"? Yes, of course if time isn't an important factor then I suppose all things eventually even out over the centuries. But haven't Scandinavian tactics led to more egalitarian results far faster than the laisser faire attitudes of other countries?
But then the article goes on to say that governments can do something to help. Wouldn't this government action mean interfering with the market? Surely, according to the Economist's theories, if the demand exists then the market would already have spontaneously produced cheap child care outside of school hours?
I can't even say that the Economist is again falling into the trap of the dogma of the free market; I'm sure your writers don't really believe it any more than I do. You just like to spout it to the masses when it suits your purposes.
Are people trying to tell me that India and China, and even Japan and Germany are failed economies whilst USA with its sex bias is a successful economy?
Hmm ... with regards to "Societies that try to resist this trend—most notably the Arab countries, but also Japan and some southern European countries—will pay a heavy price in the form of wasted talent and frustrated citizens." We need to add southern United States. The white collar "good ol' boys" just don't "git it." And these types of biased steered companies are truly losing out, as well as the infrastructure they support within their community. Information is "power" and the "good ol' boys" tend to keep it to themselves - "women need to be in church and raisin' children and such...no place for them in the work force, unless it is for answering phones, emails, making coffee, and homemade snacks."
Bravo! Excellent article. Two major points in this comment.
1. The article is helpful in changing the perception that lower pay is gender based, when it is "mother" based. Men who take time to "mother" also take a hit to their salaries & an unrecoverable hit to their career growth. How is it that we call ourselves a country of family based values?
I look forward to the day when "A Working Mother's Guilt Relieved" is not a very popular post.
2. Because women have been absent the ranks of leadership, we have much to gain from their contribution & need to overemphasize same until feminine and masculine are well integrated in leadership models and practices.
If The Economist really believes that the employment and empowerment of women is the next social and economic revolution, why does the subject not command a 12 page special report?
First of all, did a woman write this article? You mention in your article and I quote
"If that means massive intervention, in the shape of affirmative-action programmes and across-the-board benefits for parents of all sorts, the answer is no. To begin with, promoting people on the basis of their sex is illiberal and unfair, and stigmatises its beneficiaries".
But this is exactly what Norway is doing here, by insisting that there be 40% women on company boards. This is not exactly working out as the women (naturally enough) have very little experience of f ex. Geology (in the case of Statoil). Next, what type of jobs are being created in the West, I'll tell you, Public sector jobs, these type of jobs are wealth subtractors, not wealth creators. In Norway women make up @ 70% of the Public sector workforce, in the wealth creating oil/gas and fisheries (about 70% of exports) men make up the majority of the workforce. One last thing, my twin brother works in Stockholm as a Soft-ware engineer, at his workplace men make up 80% of the workforce. I myself went to college to study nutrition, diet therapy and epidemiology (already qualified as a chef), at year end after beating all 17 women in two classes and getting the best scores in that subject in the college's history, I then tried to get a job, after 20 attempts, I had to concede defeat (the last of my attempts told me that they preferred to hire women as Nutrition was considered a female profession, so much for non-discrimination!!!
Do you think this is related in some way with the collapse of Western Society?
why is it that 70% percent of women dont want to have a female boss? they are known in most comapnies to be very difficult to work with in senior roles, i have personally known nearly 80% of female managers to be very emotionally strung, encouraging of their own favoured crownies, and also pass the buck...
In China, the thing is: if u r a woman in late 20s, and you r not married, and you r looking for a job, it will be a little bit(maybe much) difficult than your male peers, late 20s is a awkward age range, cause they know you r gonna get marrid soon and have baby and you r gonna ask for leave then.
Is it the same case in your country?
it seems many people do not seem to happy about this progress judging by some of the comments below, going to the extent that some people call it dangerous...
i also agree with some comments that the change is not substantial enough yet..
i have a question though... why are we so afraid of change? if tommorrow, men stay at home and look after children or tommorrow a couple mutually decide that its not neccessary for only the woman to sacrifice, either of them can do it... if they have more than 1 kid maybe sacrifice in turns... then why not??? what is wrong with that?? what is so "dangerous" about this?? while deciding career oiptions, if some boys genuinely think seriously on lines of being a home maker, what is wrong???
someone also said what is the joy of having kids when you see them grow... i agree.. what is the joy, indeed?? but why assume that this joy is meant only for women??? a father can also stay back and experience the pleasure of watching his child grow...
In long run, if women in the working actually become the majority where they also comprise the law makers, does it make men "castrated"?? what a pity that someone should actually say this... i dont believe men are so low on their self worth that they should be refered as "castrated" just because they choose to be a home maker...
Birth rates are not dropping only because women choose their career over motherhood... it is also happening because men refuse to compromise on their career for the child... they expect their wives to do so... maybe it is high time, women stopped making sacrifices.. maybe it is high time, a father woke up his kids in the morning, made breakfast and dropped his kids to school... if doing this work, feels humiliating then its not surprising that women are getting stronger in terms of achieving their career goals... motherhood is not the beginning and the end of all... personal aspirations also have value... for both men and women...
like to sign off by saying, women still have a long way to go... this is just the start... developing nations have yet see substantial progress...
P.S. - My views are mostly based on reading 'some' of the comments below.. though I would like to add not all comments are negative in nature.
"In America, childless women earn almost as much as men". This statement is somewhat misleading as it seems to imply that male-female pay differences are almost entirely the result of children. Consider however the statement: "Women with a college degree earn just as much as men." This implies that women with a degree earn just as much as the group of men who may or may not have a degree. Since men with a degree tend to earn more than men without one, women with a degree who earn as much as men in general, might still earn substantially less than their male peers.
Similarly, in as much as women who successfully delay having children tend to be disproportionately from a more priveleged socio-economic background (i.e. childlessness is a proxy for other variables relevant to pay), it is unfair to compare them to "men" as a group in general. Such a comparison will tend to overstate the effect of childbearing on pay and understate other factors.
In layman's terms, since childless women tend to be disproportionately educated, smarter, from wealthier families, and whiter, all factors that (rightly or wrongly) should improve their pay expectations, it is somewhat of a shame that even with such an advantage they still earn less than "men" in general.

"Only an alcoholic thinks that they need to hit a lower bottom in order to be alcoholic." ~sober alcoholic
Each alcoholic has a unique bottom, and some alcoholics report having several bottoms along the way that they have ignored. Generally, high-functioning alcoholics (HFAs) experience bottoms that are emotional and internal-including feelings of shame, remorse, loneliness and/or hopelessness. Some don't have a home or family to lose, which limits the type of bottom they may have. In contrast, lower functioning alcoholics often have bottoms that involve losing their jobs, family, friends and housing in addition to going through emotional suffering. These alcoholics go on for years denying that their lives are on a downward spiral, despite these losses. Some HFAs are lacking the "gift of desperation" that may motivate lower bottom alcoholics to get help. For others, high functioning only lasts until the disease progresses and the person cannot function anymore.

The overall health benefits of the antioxidants in green tea have gotten a lot attention lately, but drink's beneficial impact on dental health has been overlooked.A new study published in the journal Preventative Medicine found that green tea has a type of antimicrobial molecule called catechins that may promote dental health. The study found that men who drank at least one cup of green tea a day were 19 percent less likely to have fewer than 20 teeth (a full set is 32). Editor of the journal, Alfredo Morabia, wrote an editorial accompanying the study, which said the benefits of the antimicrobial could be significant, but only if tea drinkers don't sweeten their drink."Green tea may have bacteriocidal effects, which would affect teeth, but only if you drink it without sugar," he wrote. Green tea has also been linked to reduced risks of diabetes, heart disease and cancer, according to other research.For more information on discount dental plans call 1-888-632-5353.

|Jazmine Sullivan singles chronology
"Dream Big" is the fourth overall single and first official UK single released from American R&B/soul singer-songwriter Jazmine Sullivan's debut album, Fearless.
"Dream Big" was made available on UK iTunes and 7 Digital[1] as an EP on February 9, 2009. It was later made available for airplay on UK radio stations on April 5, 2009.[2] and then received an official single digital release on April 6, 2009.[3]
"Dream Big" prominently features a sample of Daft Punk's song "Veridis Quo" from the album Discovery. The song is about a girl dreaming to be a big star; it's about taking opportunities when they come to you and being ready to go when the time comes. The song produced by Jazmine's mentor, Missy Elliott features Missy calling out in the intro using a line typically reserved for her own songs. Overall the song was said 'to be a very unexpected sound from Jazmine', in comparison with the previous seven tracks on the album. Namely the synthy, upbeat and techno sound it has to it. The different approach to the club-friendly song is what's said to give it an edge as well as an extra benefit for its airplay success. Dream Big appeared on major UK music critic, Popjustice's website as 'Song of the Day' and was described as an excellent track and something to watch out for.[4]
Jazmine describes her inspiration behind the song:
"My journey was not an easy one. There were people telling me I wasn't what the industry wanted. So I had to persevere and stay determined to live my dream. I wrote this song to encourage people all over the world to dream big despite the road blocks."[5]
Billboard reviewed the song:
"Dream Big", a swallow-you-whole-four-four thumper, is an ambitious motivational anthem. Missy Elliott nicks nearly all of its drive and dramatics from Daft Punk's "Veridis Quo".[6]
Epinions reviewed the song:
Missy calls out in the intro using a line typically reserved for her own songs (if that's not a sign of faith in one's work, I don't know what is). It's an out and out Euro techno club track, complete with a clever cache of synth lines via Daft Punk's "Veridis Quo" and an assortment of gimmicky techno sounds that just don't sound gimmicky; Jazmine just understands that her credibility is in her authenticity and she doesn't miss the slightest detail. The song itself is about taking opportunities when they come to you, about being ready to go when the time comes. The fact that she manages to take on a genre seemingly foreign to her talents in such a convincing manner is a testament to what happens when you dream big.[7]
In March 2009, the music video for "Dream Big" premiered. It features Jazmine sitting behind a table and writing down her plans to get her dream. Basically mirroring the song by chronicling Jazmine's journey from songwriter to singer. Her handwriting reads as letters on the book appear on screen matching with the song lyrics. Then the video moves onto capturing her in studio, crafting songs and then performing on stage in front of an audience. The video received generally favourable reviews by fans. It was viewed as her best yet by some and 'cheap' by others. Being produced by Syndrome, who also produced Jazmine's previous video for Lions, Tigers & Bears, the two were closely compared and the animation theme was criticized to not show the real Jazmine, the Jazmine that fans know and love.[8]
The video has surpassed 920,000 views on Jazmine's YouTube channel alone.

UK Digital Single

The song's remix features Chaundon.[9]
Jazmine performed "Dream Big" on popular French television show "Le Grand Journal" as part of her international 2009 promotion of her first album, "Fearless".[10] She also performed it along with several of her album tracks for UK BBC Radio 1's Trevor Nelson in April, 2009. On April 18, 2009 the single peaked at #164 on the UK Singles Chart after a surge of steady download sales during that week.
"Dream Big" peaked at #6 on the Turkish Singles Chart issued March 30, 2009, making it Jazmine's first hit single outside the U.S. The track then went on to make waves on European airplay charts in countries such as Greece and Russia.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez was banned for one match and fined $31,300 by the English FA on Wednesday for making an offensive gesture to Fulham fans after Liverpool lost a Premier League match at Craven Cottage earlier this month. Liverpool were also fined $31,300 and warned as to their future conduct by the FA after their players surrounded referee Kevin Friend who had sent off Jay Spearing in the second half of the match On December 5 which Fulham won 1-0. Last week Suarez was banned for eight matches and fined $62,000 by the FA for racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra in October. He intends to appeal against that decision so was eligible to play in Liverpool's Premier League match against Newcastle United on Friday, but will now miss the game. In a statement on their official website, the FA said Liverpool were being fined and warned as to their future conduct "for failing to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion" during the game at Fulham. The club admitted the charge, which was in relation to the dismissal of Spearing, but did not accept the standard $31,300 penalty for the offence. However, an Independent Regulatory Commission found Liverpool guilty and the FA imposed the fine on Wednesday when Suarez was also banned after admitting the offence.

"Lousy customer service"
The product works, when it works. Just don't upgrade it over the weekend when you really need it to work.
Lousy customer service. When they say they won't give your money back they really mean it. Even when its their software that fails and you wind up with a license you can't use. And even for a long time customer. I'm no longer a loyal customer.

Capt Nairac Murder Accused 'Not Guilty'
An infamous IRA murder was in focus today with a Co Armagh man cleared of the murder of undercover soldier Captain Robert Nairac 33 years ago.
Kevin Crilly, 60, from Jonesborough, was accused of the murder after the daring undercover Army officer was abducted from a bar at Drumintee in south Armagh in May 1977 before being killed.
A judge at Belfast Crown Court has now cleared Mr Crilly of involvement in the murder and also cleared him of four other charges, including kidnapping and false imprisonment. He said Mr Crilly was present on the night and had picked up the man who murdered Captain Nairac - Liam Townson - but it had not been proved he knew what was going to happen.
The judge also said forensic evidence did not establish Mr Crilly's guilt beyond doubt. Three men have previously been convicted of murdering Capt Nairac who was posthumously awarded the George Cross.
Mr Justice Richard McLaughlin had been considering his verdict for a month following the no-jury trial.
The prosecution claimed that following the kidnapping of Captain Nairac from the Three Steps Inn, the defendant, Mr Crilly - then aged 26 - picked up the gunman Liam Townson, who was later convicted by the Special Criminal Court in Dublin.
He allegedly drove the soldier to the bridge in Ravensdale Forest, Co Louth - where, according to Townson, he was shot.
Following the murder, Mr Crilly allegedly went on the run in the USA for nearly three decades.

U.S. District Judge Manuel L. Real has nixed David Beckham's request to have Irma Nici — the one-time prostitute who told In Touch Weekly she slept with him last fall — questioned in his $25 million libel suit against Nici and the magazine's publisher, Bauer Publishing.
COURT DOCUMENTS: Read Judge Real's Order On David Beckham's Request To Question Accuser
Judge Real rejected the request Monday, RadarOnline.com has learned, after Bauer's legal team argued In Touch Weekly's "report on Beckham's most recent extramarital affair… plainly involves Bauer's exercise of its free-speech rights about a matter of public interest.
PHOTOS: 2008 911 Turbo Was Owned By Soccer Star David Beckham
"Beckham's international fame, the fame of his marriage to Victoria coupled with the emerging trend of high-profile stars cheating on their wives, causes this report to fall squarely within the statute's broad definition of 'public interest,'" the publishers said.
Nici, in an October 4, 2010 story called "David's Dangerous Betrayal," said the sexy soccer stud bedded her on multiple occasions, everywhere from New York to London.

Beckham responded in a subsequent declaration: "I have never met Nici, let alone committed adultery with Nici or paid her for sex."

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP/WMOT) -- The Tennessee chapter of the NAACP is ramping up protests across the state in response to the death of Trayvon Martin.
The unarmed 17-year-old black teenager was shot in Sanford, Florida, just over a month ago by a neighborhood watch captain who says he acted in self-defense.
Gloria Sweet-Love, president of the state NAACP, said protests are scheduled in several cities around the state, including a protest Wednesday in Memphis.

Osho continues:
"He has completely forgotten himself, he is lost in the world. He thinks of money, possessions, but never of consciousness, because consciousness is not a commodity, it can neither be sold nor purchased, it is useless. A businessman is one who is a utilitarian: poetry is meaningless, religion is meaningless, God is meaningless, because they cannot be converted into salable objects, you cannot earn money through them. And money is the most significant thing for this type. He can sell himself, he can lose himself, he can destroy his whole life, just to accumulate money. This is the first characteristic of the type.
"I have heard that two businessmen met in a market. It was the peak of the season, of the year. And one said to the other, 'Have you heard that Sheik Fakhruddin, the clothier, died this morning?'
"The other said, 'What! In the middle of the season?'
"Neither life is meaningful, nor death, only the season. His measurement is money, he measures a man with money: how much you have got, not who you are, that is meaningless. If you have money you are significant, if you don't have money you are nobody. If he pays respect to you, he pays respect to your possessions, never to you. If you lose your possessions he will not even look at you.
"Once it happened:
"A rich man became poor. He was in misery and he was saying to his wife, 'I believed that I had so many friends. Fifty percent of them have already left me, and the other fifty percent do not yet know that I have become poor.'
"All of them are going to leave, they were never with you. You cannot have a friendship with a businessman. No, he is only friendly with the money that you have. The moment money is not there, the friendship disappears; it was never with you.
"You cannot relate to a businessman, it is impossible: you cannot be a wife, you cannot be a husband, you cannot be a son, you cannot be a father to a businessman, because he relates only to money. Everything else is beside the point, his target is money."
