'Suitcase murder': Toronto Police to exhume Dwayne Biddersingh's body
Sister Melonie's gruesome death and charges laid against his father and stepmother cast doubt on the 15-year-old's "suicide" fall.

View 2 photoszoom
In a gruesome case that began nearly two decades ago, Toronto Police will now exhume the body of a 15-year-old boy after his father and stepmother were charged in the "suitcase murder" of his older sister.
Det.-Sgt. Steve Ryan, who heads the cold case section of Toronto's homicide unit, confirmed Tuesday that Dwayne Biddersingh's body will be exhumed at the end of the month.
"We just want to make sure nothing was missed, that there's no evidence to suggest that there was foul play," Ryan said.
In 1992, Biddersingh reportedly fell 22 storeys to his death from the family's Parkdale apartment on Close Ave., which he shared with his father, stepmother and five other children — including his sister Melonie Biddersingh.
Ryan said the reason for exhumation is linked to the sensational murder of his 17-year-old sister, whose broken and twisted remains were discovered in 1994, inside a suitcase that was doused with gasoline and lit on fire — capturing media attention in Canada and abroad, in the family's native Jamaica. The suitcase was found after crews responded to the fire at a Vaughan industrial complex.
The girl had never been reported missing.
Until a couple of years ago, the case was shrouded in mystery, with no clues pointing to a name or a face. Any identifying features, including fingerprints, handprints and footprints, had been burned off.
But a tip to police in November 2011 finally helped investigators identify her as the shy immigrant Melonie Biddersingh.
Her father, Everton Biddersingh, and stepmother Elaine Biddersingh were arrested in Welland, Ont., in March and charged with first-degree murder.
Though Dwayne's death had been deemed a suicide, in the early 1990s the teen's family alerted Canadian authorities of their suspicions that Dwayne had met a more sinister end.
Opal Austin, mother to both Dwayne and Melonie and five other children, told the Star in April 2012 that she was still disturbed by the manner of the boy's death. She had sent the two Biddersingh children to live with their father because she was struggling to support her family in Jamaica, she told the Star last spring.
At the time of her disappearance, Austin said, Melonie's father had said she'd gone to the U.S. for work.
The family said after Melonie's body was identified that they wanted Toronto police to reopen Dwayne's case and exhume his body.
Ryan said there is currently nothing to suggest the younger Biddersingh met a suspicious end, but police are ready to examine any possibility, including the uncommon practice of exhumation.
"It was a tough decision. It's a kid. It's a little boy — to disturb those remains after all these years," Ryan said. "But I think it's important that we do it."
That her smart, happy child had jumped and his sister run away to the U.S. had never made sense to Austin.
It's unclear whether the grieving mother will get the answers she's long waited for anytime soon.

Would-be car thief falls asleep mid-attempt
An apparently drunk teen was found in someone's vehicle that had been partially hot-wired
Associated Press
VIENNA — Like anywhere, dozing off behind the wheel in Austria can be deadly. But for one teen-ager it will likely result in a charge of attempted car theft.
State broadcaster ORF cites police saying they are have identified a 17-year-old male as the likely suspect after a woman found her vehicle partially hot-wired, a door forced open and a youth apparently drunk and fast asleep inside.
ORF said Tuesday the unnamed culprit rewired the vehicle to its normal state and walked off after being discovered Sunday. He was traced after the owner reported the incident to police.
A policeman in Salzburg province confirmed the incident on the phone. He refused to identify both himself and those involved.

Important NoticeUpdate: Information Technology has identified a solution which restores the ability to use the Global Address Book to send email communications to students and course distributions lists.
We will be making the necessary changes to the JC student email system this weekend. This will result in intermittent email outages for students from Sunday, August 2nd 10:00 am until Monday, August 3rd 2:00 am.
Jackson College employees have reported concerns that their JC students are not receiving emails from them. This problem should not affect email communications sent from JetNet, only email communications sent from Employee Office 365 using the Global Address Book.
IT Technicians are currently working on this issue and will provide further updates soon. Please let the JC Solution Center know if you have a student (or are a student) that is not receiving emails to their my.jccmi.edu email account. The JC Solution Center will need the students full name.

The Mikado Facts
Sullivan, reflecting on this, on his own precarious health, and on his desire to devote himself to more serious music, replied that "it is impossible for me to do another piece of the character of those already written by Gilbert and myself". Gilbert was surprised to hear of Sullivan's hesitation and had started work on a new opera involving a plot in which people fell in love against their wills after taking a magic lozenge.
This works only because Gilbert treats these themes as trivial, even lighthearted issues.
"D'Oyly Carte and the Pirates", a paper presented at the International Conference of G&S held at the University of Kansas, May 1970 Burlesque and parody productions, including political parodies, were mounted. Information about American productions Numerous unauthorised versions cropped up, and, as had been the case with Pinafore, there was nothing that Carte or Gilbert and Sullivan could do about it, since there was no copyright treaty at the time. In Australia, The Mikado's first authorised performance was on 14 November 1885 at the Theatre Royal, Sydney, produced by J.C.Williamson.
[3] has unquestionably succeeded in imbuing society with his own quaint, scornful, inverted philosophy; and has thereby established a solid claim to rank amongst the foremost of those latter-day Englishmen who have exercised a distinct psychical influence upon their contemporaries."Beatty-Kingston, William.
They preservation status of both programs is unknown and the materials are thought to be lost.A wide variety of popular media, including films, television, theatre, and advertising have referred to, parodied or pastiched The Mikado or its songs, and phrases from the libretto have entered popular usage in the English language.
When a discussion occurs of Nanki-Poo's life being "cut short in a month", the tone remains comic and only mock-melancholy.

Caution urged on postpartum link to motor-vehicle chase in DCBy LAURAN NEERGAARD
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | October 05,2013WASHINGTON Lots of women suffer from postpartum depression, but violence in new mothers is incredibly rare, and when it happens, it typically is linked to a different condition. Experts caution against assuming that post-pregnancy mental health problems explain a Connecticut womans bizarre Capitol Hill car chase that ended with her death in front of her toddler.
And they worry that such headline-grabbing cases can discourage women from getting needed help if theyre experiencing problems after the birth of a child.
Women need not go into secrecy if theyre struggling, said William Meyer, a clinical social worker and associate professor at Duke University Medical Center. Women who suffer from depression do not, except in really extreme, exceptional cases, ever hurt their babies, ever put their babies in harms way.
Authorities identified 34-year-old Miriam Carey of Stamford, Conn., as the woman who was shot to death by police Thursday after trying to drive through barricades at the White House with her 1-year-old in the car. Careys mother told ABC News that her daughter suffered from postpartum depression and at one point was hospitalized. Friday, a federal law enforcement official said Carey also had delusions that the president was communicating with her and that her condition had been deteriorating over the past 10 months.
There are no details on Careys official diagnosis or treatment.
But having delusions is not a symptom of the postpartum depression that affects anywhere from 10 percent to 20 percent of new mothers.
Most new mothers have a bit of the baby blues, occasional feelings of sadness or anxiety soon after giving birth. Symptoms of postpartum depression are more serious and last longer, and they can require treatment ranging from support groups to medication.
Symptoms of postpartum depression include lacking interest in the baby; mood swings between sadness and irritability; fatigue and lack of energy; and withdrawal from family and other interests. In severe cases, a woman may have suicidal thoughts. According to the nonprofit Postpartum Health Alliance, women also may have scary thoughts of something bad happening to the baby.
If its just a case of postpartum depression, you usually dont see people hurting others or getting aggressive, stressed Dr. Ariela Frieder, a psychiatrist at New Yorks Montefiore Medical Center who specializes in post-pregnancy mood disorders.
In contrast, postpartum psychosis can come with hallucinations, paranoia, confused thinking and desires to hurt the child. It is very rare, occurring in about 1 in 1,000 women after childbirth, Frieder said.
Its an emergency that usually occurs within a few weeks of delivery, according to a 2011 review published in the Journal of Womens Health.
Nor does it tend to last for a year, noted Dukes Meyer.
Sometimes women who appear to have postpartum psychosis actually have a different mental illness bipolar disorder that may not be properly diagnosed unless symptoms occur again long after pregnancy, Frieder cautioned.
Whatever happened with the Connecticut woman, overall, postpartum depression is under-recognized, said Eileen Magri of Winthrop University Hospital on Long Island, N.Y.
Stigma discourages new mothers from seeking help, and families that do recognize a problem often have no idea where to turn, Magri said. She runs a special program that screens new mothers for signs of postpartum risk, such as a family history of mental illnesses, or the mother experiencing recent stressful events. Those considered at risk receive home visits from social workers who are on the lookout for developing symptoms.MORE IN Wire NewsSALT LAKE CITY The renewed national scrutiny of the Confederate flag has officials again...

A-DATA Nobility N002 128GB USB 3.0 + SATA-II Portable HDDEveryone has an external HDD, but A-DATA has the smallest and fastest you can buy.
We all have external hard drives and over the years learned that USB 2.0 never lived up to the needs of mass storage. The transfer rates for USB 2.0 were just too slow to comfortably move large files in a timely manner. How many times can a person live through moving 40GB of data and it takes half of the day? A few months ago the successor to USB 2.0 made an appearance on retail motherboards and USB 3.0 has now trickled down to entry level boards.
USB 3.0 is capable of transferring data faster than the SATA II interface, so for the most part we expect to see performance that is on par with SSDs running similar controllers. So far we have not had luck with this assumption, but NEC has a new driver for their USB 3.0 controller and I am told it fixes the SSD shuddering issue with USB 3.0; we shall find out today.
Previous experience aside, today's article is all about the new N002 128GB USB 3.0 Portable SSD from A-DATA. A-DATA has been on a roll with their solid state products; just recently we reviewed their first SandForce controlled SSD, only the second we had come across with the new SF-1200 controller. The A-DATA N002 at first glance appears to be a standard SATA II Indilinx Barefoot based solid state drive. Once you get a glimpse of the side, though, you see the USB 3.0 power and data port and that is when things start to get interesting.
Over the last year we saw many Indilinx based drives ship with USB 2.0 ports and for a short time we thought this would become standard. At the time SSDs were much more expensive than what anyone would even consider spending on an external product, but the capability was there and you could use a standard SSD with a USB 2.0 connector as a very small external drive. One would still have to try to live with the 30 - 35MB/s data transfer rates from USB 2.0, but the drive would be small.
Pairing USB 3.0 with an Indilinx Barefoot in a mostly standard 2.5" form factor drive that can be either ran off of SATA II or USB 3.0 is kind of like the holy grail of portable storage at this point. Let's take a look and see if the hype matches the reality.

Legislative leaders will call for vote next week on transportation bill
HARRISBURG — House and Senate Republican leaders plan a vote next week on a plan to raise an estimated $2.3 billion to fix roads and bridges and to bolster mass transit.
It's one of Republican Gov. Tom Corbett's priorities, but attempts to round up enough votes in the GOP-controlled House since June fell short. The only House votes have been head counts behind closed doors.
Stephen Miskin, a House Republican spokesman, said Thursday that Speaker Sam Smith of Punxsutawney and Majority Leader Mike Turzai of Bradford Woods agree it is time to vote on the bill and move on to other issues.
Usually, leaders don't call up a bill unless they know of 102 votes for passage. Leaders of both parties and Corbett have been negotiating the issue.
Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi of Delaware County believes "it's time to bring this to a head," said his spokesman, Erik Arneson. Even if the House lacks votes for passage, Pileggi thinks it's time to move on, Arneson said.
There's a "framework" to draft into legislation but "no handshake deal," Miskin said.
"It's our expectation that they'll put together a plan and vote it," said Jay Pagni, the governor's spokesman. Corbett remains hopeful that lawmakers will propose a "comprehensive, bipartisan package."
Turzai planned votes on the matter several times since September. Corbett asked him to wait, Turzai has said.
Now, said Miskin, "If it's not this (next) week, we don't expect it to come up."
Passage will require House Democrats' support because some House Republicans consider the funding mechanism a tax increase.
Miskin confirmed that the plan still includes lifting the cap on the state's wholesale fuel tax, which likely means passing the cost on to consumers at gasoline pumps.
Any bill considered will include language that provides for some wage-reduction on certain public projects that require union wage scales, Miskin said. Republicans have insisted that so-called prevailing wage reform be part of a transportation package.
Corbett in February proposed a $1.8 billion bill. The Senate approved a $2.5 billion plan in June.
Turzai is expected to offer an amendment for "critical needs" spending on the worst-condition bridges.

Corporate changes in Australia could see iconic Kiwi brewing and food brands put up for sale.
A sale of brewer DB could ease pressure on Heineken's balance sheet after it spent A$4 billion to buy out food and beverage conglomerate Fraser & Neave's stake in Asia Pacific Breweries, the Australian Financial Review reports.
Such a sale may also provide a vehicle for Coca-Cola Amatil to achieve its stated ambition of re-entering the Asia-Pacific beer market.
Meanwhile, just two years after it was transferred between private equity owners, Tegel Foods could be back in play if its current owner, Affinity Equity Partners, buys Australian chicken processing giant Ingham's.
The deadline for indicative offers for Bob Ingham's empire is tomorrow and Affinity has emerged as the favourite after rival private equity firms KKR and Pacific Equity Partners were said to be losing their appetite for chicken.
Any deal with Affinity, however, is likely to be complicated because Affinity would have to sell some of its poultry assets in New Zealand to overcome competition concerns.
Affinity's Tegel Foods, acquired from PEP for A$470 million in 2010, controls more than 40 per cent of the New Zealand chicken meat market while Ingham's NZ is the No 2 player with around 35 per cent.
The New Zealand Commerce Commission has been known to take a more pragmatic approach to mergers and acquisitions than its Australian counterpart, but it's thought unlikely it would allow Affinity to control almost 80 per cent of the market. Affinity may have to sell its Ingham NZ assets or a mix of existing Tegel and new assets to gain Commerce Commission approval.
Coca-Cola Amatil chief executive Terry Davis has already engineered the company's return to the beer market in Australia by entering a proposed joint venture with winemaker Casella, which is now making Arvo beer.
Australian industry sources say the purchase of DB, which has four breweries, would make CCA the second-largest player in the New Zealand beer market behind Lion and give Davis more clout in his campaign to snare licensing deals with global brewers, although the bottler was non-committal last week.
DB may also prove attractive to Asahi, which outlaid $1.5b for New Zealand-based Independent Liquor last year and is looking at ways to improve returns. Cost synergies could be as high as A$30m.
Fosters/SABMiller, which is keen to plug the sales gap triggered by the loss of licensed brands such as Corona to Lion, may also be interested in the DB assets.
Bob Ingham is believed to be seeking more than seven times earnings for his company, which is said to have better margins and a lower cost base than its peers. Based on forecast ebitda of A$210m, the business could fetch more than A$1.5b making it one of the biggest deals this year.
Management presentations are due to start in the second round. Bidders will no doubt to be keen to establish the strength of Ingham's relationships and contracts with major customers such as Woolworths and the outlook for margins as feed costs soar and retailers cut protein prices to draw shoppers.

- Despite TMZ breaking the story about WWE Diva Cameron attempting to bribe a police officer during a recent DUI arrest, WWE is eager to continue building on their relationship with the celebrity gossip site.
TMZ has been thrilled with the surge in page views thanks to the rabid WWE audience that reads the WWE-related articles. WWE feels that they are able to more or less control the spin that TMZ puts out on any potentially damaging items, which makes it a valuable relationship in Vince McMahon's eyes right now.
TMZ -- not WWE.com -- was the first site to post pictures of Triple H cutting of his signature long hair earlier this week, and WWE promoted the article on their website and social media accounts.

ASIA/PAKISTAN - New hearing for Asia Bibi on May 27
Lahore (Agenzia Fides) - The first hearing of the appeal process for Asia Bibi, a Catholic woman sentenced to death in Pakistan on charges of blasphemy has been scheduled for May 27. As reported to Fides from the pool of defense attorneys, the case will be discussed in front of a panel of judges of the Lahore High Court, led by Judge Anwar-Ul- Haq.
While Asia has been languishing in the women's prison in Multan for over 4 years and a half, since February 2014 to today the judiciary of Lahore, under pressure from radical Islamic groups, has postponed the hearings four times because the judges themselves, fearing reprisals, tend to avoid the responsibility of deciding on such a delicate case.
"In Asia Bibi's case, any delay or postponement means denying justice", says a note sent to Fides by the lawyer Mushtaq Gill, head of the NGO LEAD ("Legal Evangelical Association Development"), committed to the defense of Christian Pakistanis. "Too often – says Gill – Christians are considered as 'second class citizens', justice is denied, especially when they are accused of blasphemy". Christians branded as "blasphemous", even if most of the time on the basis of false accusations, risk their lives and also the lives of those who dare to defend them is at risk. There are cases where Islamic leaders have issued a "fatwa" (religious decree) publicly inviting the faithful to kill the alleged "blasphemer", with extra-judicial executions, trampling the rule of law. For example in January 2011 Mumtaz Qadri, the man who shot and killed the Governor of Punjab, Salmaan Taseer, guilty of having defended Asia Bibi, is now hailed as a "hero" and a mosque on the outskirts of Islamabad, was named after him.
For this reason, Christians who are often accused, if released, are forced to leave the country in order to save their life. And even their lawyers are victims of intimidation and threats. Lawyer Gill concludes: "The battle against extremists in Pakistan cannot be won until the government puts in place the necessary legislative reforms: what needs to be done to get to the root of the problem is to first of all repeal the blasphemy laws without fearing the reaction of extremists". (PA) (Agenzia Fides 03/05/2014)

There are many detached stucco and brick villas throughout their expansive farm property that can accommodate groups as large as 20, and our unit was very spacious with 3 bedrooms, a large eating/living area and kitchen.

We get out €200 and nothing is said on the screen about extra charges and the receipt simply says €200.
