On May 10, as tens of thousands of students rallied here for the third day of government-approved protests against NATO's bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, magazine editor Cao Jiahe was taken to a small room in another part of the city, where he was blindfolded, tied with belts and beaten by security officials. When he was released four days later, according to an open letter by his friend Jiang Qisheng, his "whole body was bruised, and his skin was lacerated. He was too horrible to look at."
Police did this to Cao because in early May he collected signatures to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the June 4, 1989, massacre near Tiananmen Square. While sanctioning anti-American demonstrations, the government has also launched the most severe crackdown on pro-democracy activism since the period immediately following the 1989 protests. Jittery over the upcoming anniversary and escalating social unrest, the government has arrested or detained since January nearly every prominent activist, especially those connected with the dissident-led China Democracy Party. Liberal publications have been closed down, experimental art performances canceled and the press warned against writing on sensitive topics like worker unrest. During anti-NATO demonstrations, dissidents were detained to prevent them from shifting protesters' attention to problems at home. After releasing the letter protesting Cao Jiahe's treatment, Jiang Qisheng was arrested as well.
Indeed, since the NATO bombing, the government has intensified its pre-June 4 crackdown, denouncing concepts of democracy and human rights as synonymous with US hegemony. The People's Daily, the Communist Party mouthpiece, ran an article in late May condemning overseas democracy activists as traitors to their country. In a rare public mention of the events of 1989, the article said that if the Tiananmen Square protests had succeeded, China would have been "turned into a dependency of the hegemonies." Dissident Zha Jianguo told the South China Morning Post that when he was detained during the anti-NATO demonstrations, security officials warned him to be extra careful, because now "the Chinese government will no longer need to worry about foreign pressure over human rights issues."
This backlash was reflected in the slogans of many student protesters, who put national sovereignty above concerns for the liberal values embraced by their counterparts ten years ago. "We still respect many things about America," a master's student in political science at Beijing University said, as he joined protesters on campus. "Human rights, democracy, the legal system. But we absolutely cannot tolerate an infringement on our country's sovereignty." A wall poster nearby echoed his sentiment: "We want human rights," it read, "but we want sovereignty more."
Yet the ideals of human rights and national self-determination were not always seen as irreconcilable, as many students tried to claim ostensibly "Western" values as their own. In one widely applauded posted letter, the anonymous writer urged students to "take the spirit of Gandhi and Mandela and, together with Americans, build an alliance that opposes war and hatred and becomes a true protector of the great power of peace, human rights and democracy."
Despite the obvious government manipulation, the recent protests were a vivid reminder of the power of an enraged public. Southern Weekend, a popular weekly newspaper, ran a special edition emblazoned with a photo of protesters and the headline, a force more powerful than a bomb. The usually tranquil campus of Beijing University was transformed as thousands of students gathered to peruse wall posters, debate what should happen next and offer their voice to the chorus, just as they did in the spring of 1989. This previously apolitical generation of students has learned that taking to the streets is a legitimate way to get their voices heard.
Meanwhile, in villages and factories throughout China, the disfranchised masses have learned a similar lesson, albeit in a different way. Without independent unions or peasant associations to protect their interests, workers and villagers regularly stage public protests against corruption, unemployment and economic disparities that allow the rich to get richer while the poor frequently can't even get their paychecks. But when protesters point out the sources of their problems and demand democracy and legal protection of their rights, authorities are quick to crack down.
For these protesters, claims that their demands reflect US hegemony are irrelevant. In a small village in Guizhou province, for example, peasants have been fighting unsuccessfully for compensation since 1992, when local leaders illegally sold public land in a corrupt deal. The organizer of the protests was recently arrested after he and more than 200 villagers took their fight to the provincial capital, where they carried a banner declaring, "We Need Democracy and the Rule of Law."
In 1989 ordinary citizens, especially workers, played a significant role in the protests, and some observers have partly blamed the students' unwillingness to unite with these groups for the failure of the movement. Today, dissidents inside and outside the country are increasingly unifying their demands with those of China's workers and peasants. The China Democracy Party, the largest opposition party in Communist China's history, supports independent trade unions, an end to official corruption and economic justice for farmers and laid-off workers. Although the group is illegal, CDP supporters range from 1989 student leaders and former Democracy Wall activists to factory workers and businessmen. Such alliances, if organized and galvanized, could pose a real challenge to the regime. As a worker told Hong Kong-based China Labour Bulletin, "If there was another explosion against corruption like the business back in 1989...far more workers would get involved, and the end result would be very different!"
The government is doing everything it can to prevent that. When the dust clears from the anti-NATO protests, Chinese citizens will be left with spiraling unemployment, rampant corruption, intensifying social inequalities and a government that does little to protect their rights. Perhaps NATO protesters will then remember how it felt to be part of a unified movement, taking the future of their country into their own hands. For those who witnessed Tiananmen Square, the memory is a familiar one: a force more powerful than a bomb.

Five-star linebacker Reuben Foster is regarded as one of the best linebacker recruits in the country, but he might want to be careful the next time he gets a tattoo.The Auburn (AL) High School product was originally committed to Alabama, but when he switched his commitment to Auburn in July, he got an Auburn tattoo to commemorate the occasion. Little did he know that the head coach he committed to play for, Gene Chizik, would be fired. Now, five months after getting the tattoo, Foster has decommitted and re-opened his recruitment.Foster is now considering Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Washington and Miami. Unfortunately for him, none of their logos are similar to Auburn's.H/T: Lost Lettermen

But what apk is missing which i need to save my settings with the google servers?
Send from SGN with XDA
Hi. Thanks for all your great work and wonderful ROM. I seem to be having a problem..when I tried to install 3.4 over stock 4.0.4, I'd get stuck on the Google image just like pooya's friend a few pages back. I decided to try 3.3 instead, and everything worked great. I decided to try 3.4 again, through OTA App, downloaded base and essentials,and it worked. (side question, 3.4 is suppose to have a higher resolution/everything smaller? even the bar at the bottom etc? screen seemed to flicker for me when switching apps, moving around etc) I had this feeling that I didn't flash the right essential.zip, so I decided to go back to recovery and flash the essential again.... then on the reboot, I got Android is upgrading, but got stock on "Starting applications." Went into flash mode, wiped everything, fixed permissions, flashed again but got the same thing.... I'm sitting here with Android upgrading.... starting applications, and am about to remove battery, and flash 3.3 again .... Is this something I'm experiencing or others have also? 3.3 was great (for the few hours I used it) but 3.4 looked sweeet! regardless, Goodjob and TIA for answering my questions.
Nebucatnetzer, Thank you for your reply.
I seem to have gotten it to work for now...... However, it seems like Chrome Beta isn't running? (i noticed it last time as well for the few minutes i got 3.4 to work). I get the unexpectedly closed error... (and a google play error follows). Google Play opens fine afterwards, but not Chrome. (i even tried emptying cache/fixing permissions) Any ideas?

We have enough RB's in Shallman and Thomas.. Need to turn our focus on DT, WR's, and a shutdown CB..
in town for free camps
We have enough RB's in Shallman and Thomas.. Need to turn our focus on DT, WR's, and a shutdown CB..
I'm pretty sure the coaches are focusing on those positions because "we" don't have anything to do with the recruiting. The reason RB is such a big topic is because of the news that was released yesterday. You'll learn over time to sit back and let everybody have their freak out moment. In a few weeks the only thing you'll hear about is WR's. Mark my words.
"We" dont??. Its a blog tool box..
He has Big Ten level power and size but his running style concerns me. He's anything but compact in his motion and ball security could be an issue as well. In terms of athleticism he's not even close to Isaac, but at 6'1" 200 he could fill out and become a 220lb back that we use to complement Smith.
Since we already have Shallman and Smith wrapped up I'm hoping we don't find another back in this class and instead offer it to the best available at another position of need. At this point if the 3rd back isn't someone with elite athleticism they're not worth taking.
I don't know much but if I were in Derrick's shoes, I'd pick Clemson. It's been rumored to be his #1. Bellamy just checked out. He would be able to compete for playing time immediately. He'd be the only power back on the roster. He would probably be looking at a redshirt in Ann Arbor.
It looks like Hoke is recruiting the RB position the same way he has been recruiting LBs: load up on an ass-load of recruits. This way Hoke will have options at the position and not be forced to settle with average players like Ezeh because it's all he has on the roster.
That's not really how it works, and the Ezeh situation isn't even comparable. We can only load up on so many players at the same position before it takes away from our ability to add talent elsewhere. Since Wilkins isn't much different than the backs we've already secured it would make sense to leave the slot open for someone at a different position. Why the staff is so set on taking another power back is beyond me, but I'm not a coach.
than the other backs we have committed. Sure he may be a big back but he also is much more explosive and agile than the other two. Not trying to rip on the other two, but Wilkins does bring a different skill set to the table. Not all big backs come in the same package.
They're not carbon copies of each other but they're close enough to warrant doubt about offering Wilkins. Would you rather sign an extra DL/DB or have three power backs in one class? I'm not in the "get as many as we can" boat.
Also how do you know if they will all pan out like their recruiting rankings portray or what if the football gods become angry one day and take it out on our running backs like they have done to our secondary before. It's always better to have an insurance policy, than get screwed later.
With that said., my order would be Green, Wilkins, and then Davis. I'm sure we will catch one.
Edit: Take that back, I might have to put Davis ahead of Green. Saw another video of him now.
Are typically easier to transition to other positions on O or D. While we may not NEED one, as long as we fill our other needs, taking a good running back is usually a safer bet.
Not sure if this is posted above, but Wilkins was recently offered by Auburn. The competition for his services was notably weak before that offer. I also remember him saying he has "lots" of family in Michigan when he was interviewed by aqua. Interest from him hasn't seemed too high up to this point, though.
To me, he seems to lack top level speed, similar to Deveon Smith. The difference being Deveon is a tougher runner in those first ten yards. I like Derrick Green much more than Wilkins.
Is one Wilkins on the roster enough?
All I have to say is SPEED, SPEED, AND SPEED!!! That is all. There is a kid from Ensworth H.S. here in TN(I live in TN) and he is an absolute burner. I do not think we should take another RB unless they have outstanding SPEED! Green is the only back I see that should be considered. Otherwise we should focus on WR,DT, and CB. IMO. Either it is Green or another back that has SIZE AND SPEED. If we are truly going to be competing on a national level we need SPEED AND SIZE. I cannot emphasize it enough as you can see. The SEC owns the NC and if we want to compete we need comprible talent. Big guys are no longer enough, we need BIG AND FAST.(sorry had to do it one more time) Our NC drought has went on far too long and it is time to smack those ignorant SEC fans in the mouth and show them what we are about. Wisky still keep the huge and 3 yards and a cloud of dust mentality but I want 6-8 yards and a cloud of dust followed by a 40 yard TD. That is all, thank you for reading my extensive post.
I heard coach Hoke say some where in one of his pressers that you want to recruit as many RB's that you can (within reason) because of their athletic abilities. I do not know any of the past few recruits ability carrying the ball and I am not saying that they will play another position once they get a year or two under their belts. It is a possibility that they get switched to defense DB if needed though because of their nose for the ball and endzone. So I wish him luck on getting more kids at the tailback/RB spot, who knows we might get one that can have a better career than Isaac. Go Blue!!!!!!
a certain 3 star running back who lacked elite speed or explosiveness by the name of mike hart and that turned out alright.
You are clearly the only one who remembers him.
If Hoke wants to build a national title contender, he needs to start landing elite offensive talent, which so far, he has not been able to do.
I would rather see 4 WR's in this class, than I would 3 RB's but Wilkins is impressive. He has the breakaway ability, that the other RB's lack.

RadioShack will sell iPad 2 starting tomorrow, march 29th
According to a tip over at MacRumors (which has since been confirmed by store representatives), RadioShack will begin offering the iPad 2 for sale across 500 US retail locations starting tomorrow.
We are thrilled that iPad 2 will be available at 500 RadioShack locations across the country starting March 29! Details have been sent to these stores.
With online orders still pushing 3-4 weeks and most Apple Stores selling out shortly after receiving shipments, taking your chances at a 3rd party physical location like RadioShack has its benefits. With Apple adding RadioShack as a sales channel this may help ease strain on local availability across retail outlets, making it easier to pick one up without ordering online.
Any readers planning on hitting up your local RadioShack tomorrow? Let us know in the comments!

RadioShack will sell iPad 2 starting tomorrow, march 29th
The iPad 2 Locator at http://www.ipad2locator.com/ allows you to search both Target and Radio Shack locations to see if they have the iPad 2 in stock. You can see real time Target inventory broken down by model, and it will show only the Radio Shack locations confirmed to have inventory tomorrow morning.
People are still lining up at Apple stores at 4AM, but it's not hard to find an iPad 2 elsewhere if you know where to look.
People..today I got the priviledge to use the Xoom..Before you go out to buy this Ipad2 I encourage you to look beyond.. The xoom is amazing and very useful..I have an Touch so there is no need to buy an Ipad2...The xoom will take the place of your laptop..Try it out and see..it is a wonder.
Thanks for the tip, however iPad 1 already replaced my laptop, and now iPad 2 has upped the ante even more. You said you own an iPod Touch, however you are off if you think an iPad is a iPod Touch on steroids. I use all iWork programs, Docs To Go for MS Word, Excel and PP. You cannot use the iWork suite of programs on a touch.
iPad 2 does everything I need to the point I do not use a laptop anymore.

Radio Shack has a website showing what stores will have the iPad today: http://www.radioshack.com/uc/index.jsp?page=researchLibraryArticle&artic...
What a joke... I went to my Radio Shack in Manhattan and they had TWO (total!). I was the 2nd person on line (got there about 30 mins before they opened) and the guy in front of my got a 32gb black wi-fi and the other one they had was a 16gb wi-fi (which I did not buy).
Don't waste your time going... I'm sure if the Radio Shack in Manhattan was only delivered two then every Radio Shack was given two also...
The only good thing is they put my name first on the list for when the next shipment arrives and will hold a 32gb or 64gb for me... The manager said they were told they'd be receiving more this week, but who knows.
So it looks like Apple sold 1,000 total iPads to Radio Shack (2 each for the 500 stores that are getting it)
Hello, this was new to me. Thanks for this great article!

No go: Appeals court balks at DTE rate hike for smart meters
By: SGN Staff
A Michigan Court of Appeals on Thursday overturned a state Public Service Commission (PSC) decision to allow DTE Energy a $37 million rate increase to pay for smart meters.
According to a story in the Detroit Free Press, the court said DTE hadn't provided enough evidence to justify the rate increase. "We will not rubber stamp a decision permitting such a substantial expenditure - a cost to be borne by the citizens of this state - that is not properly supported," said the written opinion of the three-judge appeals court panel.
Robert Strong, an attorney who argued against the rate increase for the Association of Businesses Advocating Tariff Equity, was quoted as saying a related decision by the appeals court was even more significant. The court also denied a "rate decoupling mechanism" approved by the PSC that would have guaranteed DTE specific revenue levels even if power consumption drops.
The court didn't stop there. It told the PSC to investigate the benefits and possible burdens of smart meters. The court said "At best, the actual evidence presented by Detroit Edison to support the rate increase was aspirational testimony describing the (smart meter) program in optimistic, but speculative terms."
The court ruling affects a $217.4 million increase for all customers the PSC approved for the utility in 2010.
The PSC said in January that it would investigate the use of smart meters by DTE and other utilities in the state. DTE spokesman Scott Simons said he hopes the matter can be resolved by the investigation, the Free Press article said.

In the past, not all feedback about the idea of women voting was negative. Many prominent people put themselves on the line, including Walter Clark, chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court. He wrote to suffrage leader Alice Paul toward the end of the national suffrage campaign to pass the 19th amendment: "Your place in History is assured. There were politicians, and a large degree of public sentiment, which could be won only by the methods you adopted." Justice Clark was referring to the direct action taken by Alice Paul and the National Woman's Party, which at the time was extremely controversial. Nowadays we take the civil rights movement to expand the franchise for granted. At the time it polarized people, as well as brought them together.

"Just Another Man"
He looks in the mirror every morning and night,
Does he see what I see, it would be nice if he might.
He sees a rude man as he stands there,
I see someone who needs someone to care.
He sees a mean man, because he has to be tough,
I see someone who deals with more than enough.
He sees how he tries not to cry and feels he has no heart,
I see someone who has to keep his feelings and work apart.
He sees a murderer because he shot someone last night,
I see someone who saved someone else from a fight.
He sees a failure because he did not arrive in time
I see someone who did his best and needs peace of mind.
He sees just another man as he enters the day,
I see a special man who does his best in every way.
For all the years, he has put on the uniform of blue,
He has never realized how much he protects me and you.
But, as he starts the day again, I just wish he could see,
What he really is and how much he means to you and me.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Distinctive architecture and recreational pursuits
Surrounded by an upscale neighborhood and golf courses, the Biltmore was designed by one of Frank Lloyd Wright's students in 1929, and Wright served as the consulting architect. The distinctive gray exterior was created with "Biltmore Block", concrete blocks molded on-site with a geometric pattern sculpted into them. The expansive two-story lobby is capped with a copper ceiling and Art Deco-style lights illuminating wood floors and patterned carpets. Reception desks are lined with Biltmore block and there are several comfy areas with red, gray, and turquoise seating. Outside, the manicured grounds have colorful flower gardens in geometric configurations, elegant fountains, and sculptures occupying vast lawns. Guests, including families and business travelers, relax around the grand pools, lined with palm trees, stone fountains, and beige lounge chairs with umbrellas.
In central Phoenix, close to culture, shopping, and restaurants
The hotel is set amidst upscale neighborhoods and two lush golf courses, and is convenient to central Phoenix. Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport is a 15-minute drive from the property, while popular shopping and dining areas, such as Biltmore Fashion Park, are within a few minutes' drive. Piestewa Peak (formerly Squaw Peak) towers about two-and-a-half miles to the north and can be hiked. About a half-hour away is the former winter home of Frank Lloyd Wright and current architectural school, Taleisin West. Phoenix Zoo and the botanical gardens are about 20 minutes away.
Modern decor with luxurious Art Deco touches
Guest rooms run the gamut, from spacious studios, to one-bedroom villas with full kitchens, to Ocatilla rooms with perks like dedicated concierge service and private pool access. Decor includes Art Deco touches, Mission-style furniture, and vintage black-and-white photography. Some rooms offer patios or balconies with stunning mountain, garden, or pool views. Bathrooms are sleek and stylish with sand-colored walls and ivory tile floors; some have glass-door stall showers with metallic statement walls, or indulgent Roman-style bathtubs. Classic Rooms with garden views are decorated in restful shades of sand and ivory with soft blue accents, and have thoughtful extras like reading lamps and Keurig coffeemakers. Club Deluxe rooms mix 1930s style with modern conveniences, like flat-screen TVs embedded in dark- and blonde-wood cabinets; a sitting area with glass table and a small patio are included in each of these rooms.
Multiple elegant pools, two golf courses, and five dining options
Leisure time at the Biltmore can be spent amongst eight pools, seven tennis courts, and two golf courses. A life-size chess set and putting green are also fun ways to pass some time. The 20,000-square-foot spa uses natural and organic products for face and body treatments, and the sunny fitness center has a full range of modern equipment. The kids' playground has a canopy and a stay-cool rubberized floor, and a "Kids Kamp" for ages four to 12 is available in the afternoons. Five varied dining options include a casual cafe with terrace, poolside restaurant with swim-up bar, and fine dining -- including seasonal cuisine at Wright's. In a nod to its Prohibition era roots, the hotel has reopened its original speakeasy on Sundays -- password (via Twitter) necessary. The resort offers a free history tour of the grounds three times a week. For working guests, there is a well-equipped business center and plentiful meeting space, including two ballrooms -- one inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. Wi-Fi is free within the main lobby, Ocatilla lounge and patio, and the Paradise pool.
A luxury resort built in 1929, the Arizona Biltmore has hosted presidents, celebrities, and socialites, from Marilyn Monroe to the Kennedys. The resort is a sprawling property studded with tall palm trees, and Camelback Mountain provides a stunning natural backdrop. Scattered throughout the resort you'll find 740 guest rooms decorated in a relaxed, elegant style; 78 one- and two-bedroom villas with gas fireplaces and balconies; and Ocatilla rooms with specialty services. The hotel is suited to both leisure and business travelers, with its full-service business center and luxe ballrooms. Couples and families are close to attractions and can enjoy golf, tennis, and swimming in multiple gorgeous pools on-site. The five dining and bar options include a swim-up bar and cafe with terrace seating. Some areas of the resort can get a bit smoky, and facilities can become crowded during golf tournaments and other on-site events.

Golfer's Elbow Braces and Supports
Medial epicondylitis is an injury that is commonly known as golfer's elbow and is an inflammation of the tendons on the inside of the elbow. The name "golfers elbow" does not mean that only golfers have this condition, but the golf swing is a common cause of medial epicondylitis. Many other repetitive activities can also lead to golfer's elbow: throwing, chopping wood with an ax, running a chain saw, and using many types of hand tools. Any activities that stress the same forearm muscles can cause symptoms of golfer's elbow, which include pain and tenderness on the inner side of the elbow, stiffness, weakness, or even numbness or tingling.

The "strip district" -- a conspiracy theory
by Paul Burka
Wed April 20, 2011 10:08 am
This is district 88, an open seat, ten counties across and one couty wide, with U.S. 380 in the middle. Here's the conspiracy theory: It's designed to bring wind power from West Texas to the Metroplex. The new representative will not object to the construction of the lines. The beneficiary: T. Boone Pickens. It's a plausible explanation for why the district looks the way it does.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
JONESBORO — Arts Clayton Gallery Manager Teri Williamson got to do something Friday that the public rarely gets to see her do at the gallery.
She swung around a hammer.
OK, it technically wasn't swinging as much as it was rocking back and forth on a nail. Williamson had to remove the nail so art installers could hang a sign for the State Art Collection Tour exhibit that was being unpacked at the gallery.
"This isn't as uncommon as you think," said Williamson as she tried to pull the nail out of the wall. "This is the kind of stuff we do every time we install a new exhibit. The public just doesn't get to see us do it."
The gallery, at 136 South Main St. in Jonesboro, was closed Friday as installers hung art for the two-month exhibit. The display will have a soft opening today. However, the official grand opening of the exhibit will be marked with a reception to be held June 6, from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m.
Arts Clayton Executive Director Linda Summerlin said county and state officials will be on hand to give remarks during the reception.
While the exhibit is in Jonesboro, visitors will be able to see works of art the state collected decades ago. All of the pieces in the collection were made by Georgia artists.
Arts Clayton is one of nine galleries across the state chosen to host a leg on the tour. To get on the tour, it had to partner with a local downtown development authority to co-host the stop. Arts Clayton's partner is the Morrow DDA.
Morrow Mayor J.B. Burke is expected to give remarks during the reception, Summerlin said.

Katherine Jackson will appear in a Los Angeles courtroom today in the hopes of becoming a co-executor of Michael Jackson's multimillion-dollar estate, an attempt to wrest control of her son's fortune from the two men he handpicked to oversee his legacy.
Rather than contest the will outright -- a risky maneuver that if unsuccessful would cost Katherine, 79, the money she already is assured -- the family is instead trying to raise questions about the legitimacy of the executors Jackson named in his will.
Aside from Jackson's children, Katherine Jackson was the only member of the family named in Jackson's will.
As a co-executor she, and by extension her husband Joe Jackson, would have a hand in how Michael Jackson's money and estate will be handled in the future -- a role Jackson did not want his family members to have. If named a co-executor of the estate, Katherine Jackson would also be entitled to a sizeable executor's fee.
Katherine Jackson's lawyers last week signaled a potential battle for control of the estate, raising questions in the media about the authenticity of the will and filing documents in court to squeeze information from the two men Jackson named executors in his 2002 will -- longtime manager John Branca and lawyer John McClain.
"The question," Katherine's lawyer Londell McMillan said July 31 on CBS's "The Early Show," "is what happened to this will in 2002? How come no one knew about it? How come Mrs. Jackson didn't know about it? How come I didn't know about it? How come we learned about it the day we filed a petition in court stating he died without a will?"
In a statement released to the media on July 29, McMillan tried to portray the executors as a shady pair, trying to keep the family in the dark. He called the will "unnotarized" and the trust "undisclosed" and said he wanted to "gain more facts concerning a suspicious circle of relationships."
McMillan also has suggested that the executors have not been completely upfront with the Jackson family. He recently served subpoenas and deposition notices to Branca and McClain, seeking to make them disclose information regarding their knowledge of a deal Michael Jackson made with concert promoter AEG to perform 50 shows in London this year.
McMillan has accused the executors of denying Katherine Jackson access to "critical" documents like the contract the singer signed with AEG, which he called "of great potential significance to the estate."
Sources said McMillan and Joe Jackson want to see the AEG contract because they believe it will reveal something that will open the door to a civil case, namely that Michael Jackson signed on to fewer than 50 shows.
Those same sources said that the executors have shared the contract with the Jacksons and there is nothing to hide.
At the time of his death, Michael Jackson was over $300 million in debt, but according to The Associated Press has a net worth around $236 million.
According to the AP's accounting, Jackson had $567.6 million in assets, including his share of the Sony/ATV Music Publishing catalogue, which includes the rights to songs by the Beatles.
But McMillan said the singer was worth far more than that.
"That estate," he told CBS, "is worth, in my estimation, a couple of billion dollars. You hear $500 million. Don't buy it."

The very act of writing has been scientifically shown to be a beneficial creative process. By putting pen to paper, you are using the left side of your brain, which is critical and rational. This gives the right side of your brain a chance to access your feelings and intuition without any mental blocks.
Once you begin to completely accept yourself -- in all your guts and glory -- you'll be able to come back to yourself and reclaim your truth. To do this, you need to silence the chatter. The only way you're going to learn what your own voice sounds like is to detach from every other voice out there.

2014 Giro honors Pantani 10 years after his death
Next year's Giro d'Italia will honor the 10th anniversary of Marco Pantani's death with several stages dedicated to the Italian climber.
Having already announced that the race will start May 9 with three stages in Northern Ireland and Ireland and finish in Trieste on June 1, the rest of the route was unveiled Monday.
Stage 8 from Foligno to Montecupiolo will include the Carpegna climb where Pantani used to train, and uphill finishes in Oropa and Montecampione will recall two of his well-known victories in the race.
The grueling Stelvio climb is back after it couldn't be used this year due to bad weather.
Pantani won both the Giro and Tour de France in 1998. He was found dead in a hotel room in 2004, and a coroner ruled he died from cocaine poisoning.

In a nightmare scenario that all sailors dread, two crew have been rescued this week from a yacht, Toucan Tango, which caught fire and sank.
Photography student Will Stanley took this picture which appeared in local paper 'The Argus'
The UK's Solent Coastguard received a call from the boat, which luckily was only about half a mile off the west arm of Brighton Marina, shortly before 7.30am.
Brighton lifeboat crew rescued the people from the seven-metre yacht. They were forced to abandon the boat and jump into the water. The fire took hold so quickly that by the time the two crew were alerted they didn't even have time to dress. After calling for help they had time only to don life jackets and jump overboard. The pair were treated by waiting paramedics and then taken to Royal Sussex County Hospital.
They were suffering from the cold but were uninjured.
The boat, called Toucan Tango, was allowed to burn and eventually sank at about 9.30am.
East Sussex Fire and Rescue received dozens of calls from concerned passers-by. Had the yacht been out to sea the outcome could have been different.
An RNLI spokesman said quick thinking by the two sailors, fire crews and the coastguard had 'averted tragedy'.
Speaking after the event, one of the two crew commented, 'We both had life jackets and my mate was in his underwear. I had jeans and a tshirt on... but luckily we are both fine, just a shame that we lost all our most needed items.. and my friend's dad's boat.'
No reason has been given for the fire, but it is a 'heads-up' once again for the caution that is necessary on board a yacht about any situation - from electrical to cooking gas - that could be the cause of a fire.

Bill Barminski animation: "Drive-In"
5 Responses to Bill Barminski animation: "Drive-In"
Absolutely lovely! It puts me in mind of my own idealized summertime memories of a boyhood in Illinois.
I gotta say, it was jarring to go from this beautiful, contemplative work of art to a Verizon commercial starring… Michael Bay! (Whose work, needless to say, is the complete antithesis of what Mr. Barminski has created here.)
Lovely. Ambient animation — just lovely.
Reminds me a bit of Graveyard (I may even have seen it here first), the "game" that is just a walk through a graveyard on a summer afternoon.
Can anyone make out if the Drive-In marquee's name is "Buffalo" Drive-In? It sure appears to be . . . and if so, was modeled after a real place here in western NY state that was demolished just last year.
I thought the artist was from Chicago but somehow the childhood memories he stirred were my own. That sign was a few miles down the street from my grade school in suburban Buffalo. That's one interesting use of CGI.
Wow, he does his own music too? I'm really looking forward to the interviews.
Simple and beautiful. Thank you.

Hi Yoast,
I use the Freshy theme. As soon as activated the option for the opengraph on the SEO plugin, I got:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function has_post_thumbnail() in /home/....../site/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/frontend/class-opengraph.php on line 138
Furthermore on the XML sitemap matter. I allready use the Google XML-sitemaps plugin. Must I deactivate it if I am to check the "XML sitemap" on SEO?
Excellent work (as always). Thanx in advance
