Lord Lucan is dead: but looking for him was fun and kept me in suncream
How journalism works: looking for fugitive toff Lord Lucan was fun for Garth Gibbs, the Daily Mirror's man on the tropical beat. Roy Greenslade writes:
Gibbs, who died in 2011, was renowned for his tenacious belief that he was only ever one step behind the missing peer. Not that he minded, however, because he spent a great deal of his employer's money travelling the world while failing to get his man.
Reflecting on the matter after 30 years of fruitless journalistic endeavour, he explained that he had adopted as his motto an observation made by the canny Sunday Express editor John Junor: "Laddie, you don't ever want to shoot the fox. Once the fox is dead there is nothing left to chase."
Gibbs wrote: "With that in mind I regard not finding Lord Lucan as my most spectacular success in journalism. Of course, many of my colleagues have also been fairly successful in not finding Lord Lucan. But I have successfully not found him in more exotic spots than anybody else."
Indeed, he had. He failed to locate him after three weeks in Cape Town, which was handy because Gibbs, a South African, was able to visit friends and relatives. Nor did he find him in Macau or Hong Kong or the Bahamas.
And that is how journalism works. They didn't care about Sandra Rivett, the woman Lucan is accused of murdering. The story was all.

Time for Tango to give Jamie Oliver a good slap
Jamie Oliver says he will "go ninja" should David Cameron refuse to impose a 'sugar tax' on fizzy drinks. Ninja's are people you can't see or hear. Go for it, Jamie. Go ninja. Stay ninja!
Oliver wants anyone who eats things he thinks contain too much sugar to pay a tax. Oliver sees tax as a means of teaching you a lesson. This is shocking news for those of us who thought tax was a way of raising money.
Jamie reasons that expensive sugary treats will deter people from eating them. In Jamie's draconian dictatorship, the government is in charge of everything. It tells us what we can eat, when we can eat it, at what price and in what volume. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn might consider Oliver's attack on Cameron a good thing, although even he must recognise what a disaster this Soviet-style meddling is.
It's not the job of governments to tell us what we can eat. We can work that out for ourselves. Of course, in elitist Oliver's world, the brains are with the rich who can afford a more expensive glass of pop and exercise self-restraint brought about by increased choice; the poor must do as they're told and feel better for it. Or else.
Oh, and as for the Sugar Ninja – the one you never saw coming – we prefer him:

Censor demands ban on singing Delilah at Wales and Stoke FC matches
Media hungry Labour MP Chris Chris Bryant wants people to stop singing Delilah, the song made famous by Welsh crooner Tom Jones. He specifically wants us to stop singing it at Wales rugby union matches and whenever Stoke City FC play – fans of both teams have taken the song to their hearts. It is one of many songs from the golden age of pop still sung by British sports fans.
Chris, MP for Rhondda, says:
"It is a simple fact that when there are big international rugby matches on, and sometimes football matches as well, the number of domestic violence incidents rises dramatically."
Why, why, why, Chris Bryant?
"I know that some people will say, 'Oh, here we go, he's a terrible spoilsport,' but the truth is that that song is about the murder of a prostitute. It goes right to the heart of the issues we are discussing. There are thousands of other songs we could sing."
Such as 'Chris Bry-ant is a f***ing twat. Chris Bry-ant is a f***ing twat etc.' (Sung to the tune of Go West). Or, 'There's only one Chris Bryant, he demands we stay silent. He's five foot tall and his brain's too small, Livin'in a Bryant wonderland!' Or, 'He's red, he's fat he rents out his London flat, Chris Bry-ant, Christ Bry-ant'.
Says Chris the censor:
"I have sung Delilah as well — everybody loves doing the 'She stood there laughing' moment but if we are really going to take this issue seriously in Wales, we have to change how we do things."
Chris is Labour MP. So let's play out their theme tune. It features lots of Welsh kit red:
The people's flag is deepest red,
It shrouded oft our martyred dead,
And ere their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their hearts' blood dyed its ev'ry fold.
Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
Look 'round, the Frenchman loves its blaze,
The sturdy German chants its praise,
In Moscow's vaults its hymns are sung
Chicago swells the surging throng.
Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
It waved above our infant might,
When all ahead seemed dark as night;
It witnessed many a deed and vow,
We must not change its colour now.
Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
It well recalls the triumphs past,
It gives the hope of peace at last;
The banner bright, the symbol plain,
Of human right and human gain.
Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
It suits today the weak and base,
Whose minds are fixed on pelf and place
To cringe before the rich man's frown,
And haul the sacred emblem down.
Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
With heads uncovered swear we all
To bear it onward till we fall;
Come dungeons dark or gallows grim,
This song shall be our parting hymn.
Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here.
Or not.

Republicans count on evangelical Christians and other dinosaurs
Amazing news in the Washington Spectator. Lou Dubose writes:
Make them talk about evolution: Why won't a single Republican presidential candidate admit that Darwin's right
They don't believe in science, and pander to evangelicals — as a result, the Republicans remain a party of stupid
Why would the leading Republicans "pander" to evangelical Christians? Any idea, Lou?
…as the Republican presidential campaign caravan turns toward Iowa, and shortly thereafter South Carolina, the lawsuit is a window into the world of fundamentalist Christians, who dominate the primaries in both states and without whom Republicans cannot win a presidential election.
Who knew that politicians seek to win votes by not disagreeing with their voters' fundamental religious beliefs?
No candidate running for the Republican Party's presidential nomination has publically accepted the theory of evolution. Their views on the subject—from the imbecilic observations of neurosurgeon Ben Carson to the disingenuous position of Jeb Bush—are calculated to attract evangelical voters.
No. Not attract. Just not to alienate a section of Republican voters.

Bad science links smoking ban to heart attacks in passive smokers
Survey of the day comes to us via the Telegraph, which has great news for non-smokers:
Smoking ban sees 40 per cent cut in heart attacks in UK since 2007 law was introduced
Did smoking cause 40% of heart attacks? We know smoking is bad for you. But really..?
Heart attack rates in the UK have fallen by up to 42 per cent since the 2007 smoking ban…
And then it gets really woolly:
A review of 77 studies found that reduced exposure to passive smoking has caused a "significant reduction" in heart problems across the population.
Did passive smoking lead to so many heart attacks? It turns out the researchers have no proof:
He [Professor Peter Weissberg, medical director of the British Heart Foundation] said the studies were observational and all had their limitations, but it would be difficult to study the effects of passive smoking in a more robust scientific way. Researchers said the evidence was less clear about whether the introduction of bans had actually helped people to give up smoking.
Heart attacks rates have been falling. Links between the smoking ban and heart attacks caused by passive smoking is nonsense.

We answer the Daily Mail question: 'Who will speak for England?'
Today's Daily Mail leads with a question: 'Who Will Speak for England?'
The question writer turns to history to see if figures from the past can answer the burning question.
Today the Mail asks a question of profound significance to our destiny as a sovereign nation and the fate of our children and grandchildren. Who will speak for England?
Not him:
It's a question inspired by one of the most dramatic moments in the history of Parliamentary democracy. The date was September 2, 1939, the day after Hitler invaded Poland. Tory PM Neville Chamberlain had just made an ambivalent statement to the House, proposing no immediate action.
On his backbenches, anti-appeasement stalwart Leo Amery was incensed. As Labour's deputy leader Arthur Greenwood rose to reply for the Opposition, the Tory MP bellowed across the floor: 'Speak for England!'
And Greenwood did just that, voicing anger over the premier's reluctance to honour Britain's treaty obligations to Poland. Bowing to the mood of the House, Chamberlain declared war on Hitler the next day.
The Mail should realise that all is not lost. Someone might just make a peep for Albion. After all, on January 1934, the Mail was all for Hitler:
As we cry 'Let's Bomb Brussels!', the article continues:
Nobody is suggesting there are any parallels whatever between the Nazis and the EU.
They are. See above.
Indeed, the Mail would argue that one of the Union's great achievements, along with Nato, has been to foster peace in Europe.
PEACE! We all vant ein leetle peace! To quote Mel Brookes:
I don't want war. All I want is peace. Peace. Peace!
A little piece of Poland/ A little piece of France /A little piece of Portugal /And Austria perchance…
But as in 1939, we are at a crossroads in our island history.
What happened to "Nobody is suggesting there are any parallels whatever between the Nazis and the EU"?
For in perhaps as little as 20 weeks' time, voters will be asked to decide nothing less than what sort of country we want to live in and bequeath to those who come after us.
We want a country of patriots!
Another question soon follows:
Are we to be a self-governing nation, free in this age of mass migration to control our borders, strike trade agreements with whomever we choose and dismiss our rulers and lawmakers if they displease us?
Ian Hislop nips in and tells us:
"… the Mail is owned by the Rothermere family. What did your Dad do? The current Lord Rothermere's father loved Great Britain so much he went to live in France as a tax exile.
"He then passed on the nom-dom status to his son who doesn't actually pay the normal amount of tax despite owning a newspaper that's owned through various tax companies in Bermuda."
Et continue:
Or will our liberty, security and prosperity be better assured by submitting to a statist, unelected bureaucracy in Brussels, accepting the will of unaccountable judges and linking our destiny with that of a sclerotic Europe that tries to achieve the impossible by uniting countries as diverse as Germany and Greece?
Do we want to live in Ibiza?
The Mail then bashes the Tories and the BBC.
So we ask again: who will speak for England (and, of course, by 'England', like Amery in 1939, we mean the whole of the United Kingdom)?
Is this any clearer?

Will Scotland? The Mail thinks the question so burning it asks Scots: "Why do teenage girls send explicit pictures to boys?" Answer: The EU makes them do it.
Maybe migrants can speak for England – after all, they love it enough to come here?
With a tsunami of migrants flooding across Europe, can such tinkering with the small print really be enough… here is nothing in Mr Cameron's draft deal that will make one jot of difference to the numbers pouring in.
Who speaks for England?

Hamas captures a wooden Israeli tank
Hamas has "captured and rebuilt an Israeli tank". Hamas showcased the weapon at the funerals for seven members killed when a weapons' smuggling tunnel they were digging in Gaza collapsed.
The spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Ofir Gendelman, saw the tank. He tweeted: "Hamas paraded yesterday a 'captured, rebuilt Israeli tank'. FYI, tanks aren't made of wood and don't run on wheels."
Says Hamas: "So how do you explain the fish, then?"

Woman pulled over police officer for speeding (video)
Anyone ever given a fine for going a few miles an hours over the speed limit – 33 in an 30 one etc.- should get a kick out of the woman who stopped a police officer for speeding in Miami, Florida, last week.
Claudia Castillo says she first noticed the Miami-Dade officer on Friday afternoon when he drove past her at 100mph, breaking the road's 40mph limit. She followed him a while – speeding up to 80mph – gained his attention and pulled over. He did likewise.
He approached her car
She told him: "The reason why I pulled you over today … I just wanted to know, what's the emergency. "
He plays along telling her: "I don't know how fast I was going. But I can tell you this, I'm on my way to work right now. I don't believe I was speeding… I thought you had some kind of emergency, is everything fine."
He did not arrest her for wasting police time.

28 prisoners escape after women dressed in dominatrix gear for mass orgy handcuff guards
Inside the Nova Mutum public jail, near Cuiaba, central Brazil, three female visitors are dressed in saucy knickers and dominatrix gear. They promise male prison guards a night they will never forget. To loosen up the guards for the mass orgy ahead, the women give them booze. It's spiked. The women handcuff the men to the beds, break into the guns and munitions store, and flee.
Says police chief Angelina de Andrades Ferreira: "The plan was to seduce them. They served them cheap whisky with some substance to knock them out, then unlocked the central gate which accesses the internal cells. Whoever wanted to escape left by the front door. From the moment they drank the whisky the agents don't remember a thing. One was found dizzy, trying to wake up. Another slept for the whole afternoon and couldn't even be questioned."
He could be feeling dizzy for months – years, if his wife is waiting.
The three prison officers had been arrested and will be charged with "facilitating a jailbreak" and "culpable embezzlement" because of the theft of firearms.
Of the 28 prisoners who walked out, 8 have been recaptured.
The other 20 have a thing for police officers with helicopters, and will be at the big tree at midnight. Come alone.

Policeman's shopping stolen while he chased Asda shoplifter
PC Graham Thomas is leaving Asda in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex, when he spots security guards talking with a suspected shoplifter. Suddenly, the man runs off. The guards give chase. Officer Thomas joins in.
He leaves behind his bag of vegetables and hamster treats.
"When I got back I was told staff had placed my bag in the chiller, he says. "Presumably because they didn't know how long I would be gone – although there was nothing that particularly needed keeping cool in it."
When he returned from the chase, the bag was gone. CCTV revealed it had been stolen by a woman.
The man got away.

John Inman: dead actor dug up and beaten with sticks
Time to toss another dead body on the paedophile police pyre. The People leads with news of a police investigation into the life of the late actor John Inman. Did he "sexually assault a boy" aged 13? Dunno.
But emotions have been stirred. There is "fury".
Once upon a time, the Sunday tabloids were full of shagging footballers, pimping Duchesses and five-times-a-night bonkers. Now we get allegations made against the dead. The celebs never did stop extra-marital sex. But the tabloids did stop covering them. It's easier – and cheaper – to go after the dead.
The paper's story thunders:
Police are investigating claims that the late Are You Being Served? actor John Inman sexually assaulted a 13-year-old boy in 1970s. The iconic TV star, who played camp shop assistant Mr Humphries in the BBC series, is the latest high-profile name to be linked to claims of historic abuse.
One claim and John Inman – innocent in life – is stuffed in the box with Jimmy Savile and Rolph Harris.
When John Inman died in May 2007, the Mirror wrote:
JOHN Inman, star of TV sitcom Are You Being Served?, died in hospital early this morning after a long illness.
The actor (pictured above), 71, died in St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, west London, at 4am. He had suffered from hepatitis A and had been taken into hospital for tests after problems with his liver.
His manager Phil Dale said: "John, through his character Mr Humphries of Are You Being Served? was known and loved throughout the world. He was one of the best and finest pantomime dames working to capacity audiences throughout Britain. John was known for his comedy plays and farces which were enjoyed from London's West End throughout the country and as far as Australia, Canada and the USA."
No word on any crimes. But now:
Detectives confirmed the probe after dad-of-two Peter Grant claimed he was forced to perform sex acts on the star in a hotel room in Torquay, Devon, when he was a schoolboy.
Is it fair that a claim against a dead man who died with an unsullied reputation is front-page news? Anorak's views are not about the alleged victim's testimony and claims. They are not for us to decide. This is about how a claim becomes front-page news, and why?
But Inman's family have branded the investigation a witchhunt and and are worried that 'all sorts of people will say anything in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal'. The much-loved star's niece, Debra Inman, said: "I'm in total shock. Accusing him of this is just awful. It's unbelievable, horrendous. You look at all the Jimmy Savile stuff and who is jumping on the bandwagon – people seeing an opportunity. John was a national treasure, a lovely man."
Nothing screams witchhunt like a front-page splash in the Sunday tabloids.
..according to claims made to Devon and Cornwall police, the actor was a predatory paedophile who used an accomplice to lure Peter Grant, then a 13-year-old, to his hotel room.
Once more, this is not about the veracity of Mr Grant's claims. The hope is that the justice system apprises the facts and reaches a satisfactory and correct conclusion. This is about the reporting on a single claim being amplified in the media.
This from the police:
"Devon and Cornwall Police are investigating an allegation of historic sexual abuse by two men against a boy in Torquay in 1979. The investigation, being led by the Force's Sexual Offences and Domestic Abuse Team, is at an early stage and therefore it would be inappropriate to comment further."
It would be. Yes. But Inman's dead, so speak freely:
Divorced Mr Grant, from Torquay, told the Sunday People : "Inman's friend said I would be perfect for a role in a play – that was his hook. It was suggested that Inman could help me out with it, but I needed to help him. I don't think he had any thoughts at all about being found out. He said 'I'm going to get you a role, but don't tell anyone about this (the abuse) or I won't be able to' "When he died and he was on TV, I was very, very angry."
Mr Grant says he spent the summer of 1979 using leisure facilities at the Imperial Hotel when he claims he was approached by Inman's friend.
"He was flashing suggestively. I was naive and didn't really think too much. It was a men's changing rooms and people did get naked, so I didn't really think. He was being complimentary about me and making me feel good. He found out that I was doing some amateur dramatics. He basically just said how good I looked and went on to say would I like to come up to his room and meet John, and that I was perfect for a role in a play. I went up to his room and met him and it was pretty much chit-chat. John Inman started saying how lovely I was and it was suggested that he could help me out with it, but I needed to help him.
"I didn't realise what it was at the time, but he encouraged me to perform a sex act on him. I had a very sheltered upbringing and I didn't really understand. It ended and it was, 'Great to see you, I'll be in touch about the role'."
We're told:
The incident was allegedly repeated at least twice more in the hotel over the next month, each time with Inman's friend approaching the boy… It is also claimed to have happened a final time in the dressing room of the Princess Theatre. Grant said he was around 16 when he watched porn and recognised what he'd done as a child.
Reactions to the story are encapsulated in the paper's comments section:
An alleged crime, it's victim and the dead celebrity become something to debate.
Who needs facts when you have audience participation?

Role Model Watch: Tyson Fury will not have his tongue cut out and eaten by dogs
Role Model Watch: a look at strangers billed as role models by the media and elite.
The Guardian reports that boxer Tyson Fury has "escaped punishment" and been reminded of his "heavy responsibilities". The BBC alls him a "role model", but declines to identity people who look to Fury for moral, spiritual and political guidance.
Fury is a boxer. His heavy responsibilities, as far as the boxing rules run, are to smack other heavyweights in the head and body until they throw in the towel or fall over.
The Guardian has other ideas:
Tyson Fury will face no punishment from the British Boxing Board of Control for his controversial remarks relating to women and homosexuals but he has been reminded of his "heavy responsibilities".
The BBBoC has issued a statement. It is ridiculously pompous:
"Tyson Fury has made comments in the media that have caused offence to members of our society. However, there is no suggestion that he has broken the law by exercising his right to freedom of expression. In such circumstances, the stewards of the British Boxing Board of Control have been advised that it cannot interfere with his basic human rights. Having said that, the stewards of the board have made it clear to him that as world heavyweight champion, arguably the holder of the most prestigious title in sport, there are heavy responsibilities upon him to avoid making controversial, non-boxing comments.
"He has assured the stewards that he understands the responsibilities upon him and has expressed regret that he has caused offence to others, which was never his intention."
Hard cheese for Fury fans who queue to hear him speak. They'll have to look elsewhere for their role models. They might look to mums and dad, big brother or grandparents. They might also look to Prince Harry, BBC newsreaders, the neat one from One Direction or The Clangers.
The paper continues:
Fury provoked outrage when he equated homosexuality and abortion with paedophilia and saying a woman's "best place is on her back" – although he repeatedly denied he was a homophobe. His achievements in outpointing Klitschko earned the 27-year-old a place on the shortlist for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award, although a petition to have him removed exceeded 140,000 signatures.
Fury showed signs of personality, although not one 140,000 incarnations of Outraged of Twitter liked.
His inclusion on the list was also discussed by MPs, with the shadow culture secretary, Michael Dugher, calling for him to be dropped and the sports minister, Tracey Crouch, saying she would remind him that as a sports star, he is a role model.
Tracey. Mike. He's not a role model. You are not a role model. He punches people in the head for a living. You try to browbeat them.

Susanne Hinte: 10 years prison, £33m and a 'dodgy' Scratchcard
"Lotto rotters" who claim to have won the National Lottery's £33m jackpot can be jailed for 10 years , says the Daily Star. So far, over 400 people say they hold the winning ticket, including seven from the very shop where Susanne Hinte, 48, says she bought a winning ticket she inadvertently put through the wash.
Of course, no-one will be jailed for 10 years for lying about winning the big prize. The Star cites the rules on Obtaining a Pecuniary Advantage by Deception. It's there in Section 16 Theft Act 1968. The CPS states: "Statutory Limitations & Maximum Penalty: 5 years imprisonment."
There are no laws covering writing utter balls on the cover of a national newspapers. If there were, the Star could be rivalling Inside Time's circulation.
The Mail has more on "mother-of-two Susanne Hinte". It shows readers the 'winning' ticket. The six winning numbers are clearly visible but a small tear has ruined the part which says what draw the ticket was purchased for.
You can see the ticket on the Sun's front page. It is "Not The Full Ticket", which is a phrase usually fired at someone whose not all there, a bit doolally.
We hear from a "pal" of Susanne's who says, "I don't think it's genuine", which sounds a bit like, "I hope that jammy cow doesn't win." This "pal" is soon revealed to be a "ex-friend" who claims Susanne' "tried to claim a £200 prize on a 'dodgy' Camelot scratchcard she said had damaged when it dropped in a puddle."
She didn't win then. And the "pal" is praying she doesn't win now.

Jessica Valenti says something really dumb about shopping
Jessica Valenti is writing about gender unfairness in the Guardian. The headline to her story: "Women are overpriced." Ha!
A report this month on products in the UK found something very similar: when it came to the same products marketed differently for men and women, there was a whopping 37% difference in price. Beauty products, toys, everything. It doesn't even get better as you age: adding insult to injury, women are even charged more for adult diapers.
Beyond the profound unfairness of having to pay more for the same products (while making less money, to boot!) there's something quite frustrating about the fact that shopping is something that has long been used to paint women as frivolous and financially irresponsible.
Got that? Women are unfairly portrayed as frivolous, says Valenti, because they didn't realise (i.e. bother to check) they are over-paying for stuff.

Jack Letts: Jihadi Jack is just a lad whose let's his dad pick out his clothes
Is Jack Letts the "Posh teen" (the Sun) from Oxford the first white Briton to join the Islamic State (ISIS)? The Mail calls him 'Jihadi Jack'. His dad, John, is an organic farmer who once appeared on the BBC's Countryfile magazine show, we learn in every newspaper.
John says his son is a translator in Syria. He says lots of Jack's friends are medics. Jack's family do not know where he is "because he's not stupid enough to tell us". John tells the The Guardian his son "had a strong humanitarian conviction". Jack is in Syria to help the people.
How he's helping them is up for debate.
Is Jack a lad or is he a jihadi called Ibrahim or Abu Mohammed, as the Mail says he is?
The Sunday Times says Jack is a Muslim convert who told his parents of his plan to study Arabic in Kuwait before joining ISIS in September 2014. The paper says he married a woman after he moved to Fallujah, Iraq.
Jack's mum, Sally, says: "We spoke to him yesterday and he said he had never had a weapon in his life."
John says the pants Jack's wearing in the above picture – the one of him giving the "ISIS one-finger salute" – are not ISIS Army issue. "I bought him those cargo trousers from a sports shop in Oxford," says John Letts.
The Independent says Letts has announced via Facebook that he is working with ISIS. "It's sort of awkward when the media thinks you're ISIS and you're not," he allegedly wrote. "Thinks you have a son and you don't. Thinks you're married when you're not. Maybe they got bored worrying about what colour socks certain celebrities wear and took out the frustration on me. The formula with the media is simple: English guy became Muslim + went to the Middle East + followed Islam = ISIS + eats babies x evil."
Further reports says Letts admitted in his Facebook posts that other people have used his Facebook account: "some of whom are extreme etc… and only got my password through one guy I stupidly trusted… One of the funniest articles was the one were the last sentence was 'Jack Letts and ISIS have been contacted for comment'. Like me and ISIS have like a shared office in which we receive requests for comment and were still thinking about whether to reply or not."
Police have twice raided the family home, taking away laptops and mobile phones. John says: "It's like he's walking on a train track with a blindfold, with a train [coming down the tracks]. Blindfolded in the sense he can't see the danger ahead of him but determined to help people… If the ramifications were not so serious, it could be a comedy."

Police threaten Yorkshireman with jail for having sex without their say so
Heard the one about the Yorkshire man ordered to tell police if he's planning to have sex 24 hours later? He's been in court accused of rape. Last year he was found not guilty. But his innocence was not proven, so it seems, because the man was handed an interim Sexual Risk Order. Under its terms, he must inform police is he plans to have sex "at least 24 hours prior to any sexual activity taking place". He must tell police the name, age and address of his intended partner.
We suppose the police can look them up online to see if they're shaggable or not. Other than for reasons of getting off, it's hard to fathom why the police are so interest in an innocent's man's sex life. Maybe they miss the News of the World (ask The News of the Screws)?
In May the man's behaviour will be considered for a full Sexual Risk Order. If he's broken the rule, he can be imprisoned for up to five years. If he hasn't he can still be on-watch for the duration of his life.
Funny stuff. Until it happens to you.

Cardiff asylum seekers gets free fashion, food and beds like Jews in Nazi Germany
Asylum seekers staying at Lynx House in Cardiff have been handed free wristbands. The residence, operated by Clearsprings Ready Homes, wanted asylum seekers to wear these wristbands at all times "or they would not be fed". Well, that's how the Guardian puts it. The other view is that by showing the wristbands the asylum seeker can get free meals three times a day in the company's restaurant.
The Welsh Refugee Council (WRC) is aghast. It says the wristbands are like the yellow stars the Nazis forced Jews to wear. The Nazis, of course, gave Jews – citizens of Germany – free food, lodgings and a burial at halls of residence operated by Concentration Camps Inc. Millions loved it so much they never returned.
The similarities between people seeking a better life and genocide is clear to the people at WRC, like WRC policy officer Hannah Wharf , who says: "We have raised the matter many times with the Welsh Government. It harks back to the Nazi regime with people being forced to wear a Star of David and stand out. It's absolutely appalling, it is treating people like lesser beings. It is treating them like animals lining up to feed."
We hear from a 36-year-old refugee in Cardiff called Eric Ngalle. He says people spotted his wristband and told him "go back to your country".
The Mail says he was granted refugee status and now works as a writer on a theatre production backed by the Arts Council of Wales. (Eat yer heart our, Primo Levi.) He says the wristband made him feel like an "outcast", which, sadly, is what he is. He was in limbo, waiting for official acceptance and the chance for a life free of persecution in the UK.
A spokesman for Clearsprings Ready Homes tells the Guardian its policy came in the face of an increase in asylum seekers: "Volumes of people in initial accommodation sites, including Cardiff (have) increased quickly. Clearsprings has taken steps, agreed with the Home Office to increase capacity in line with this demand in the form of additional self-catering accommodation. Those clients in the self-catering units receive a weekly allowance in the form of supermarket vouchers and those in full-board accommodation are issued with a coloured wristband that bears no other logo or text identifying its use or origin. Full-board clients are required to show their wristbands in order to receive meals in the restaurant."
So nothing like those yellow stars Jews was forced to stitch onto their outer clothing on pain of sale labour, torture and death.
But the elite have seen a chance to make themselves look good. Jo Stevens MP thinks this a matter of national debate. Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood says the Home Office should also face "serious questions" about the situation in Cardiff. "I have been told that this alarming practice of forcing asylum seekers to wear coloured wristbands will be stopped," she says. "It is understandable the Home Office requires asylum seekers to carry some form of identification for practical reasons such as when they collect meals."
Clearsprings has heard the complaint and
murdered the asylum seekers done away with the bands. Asylum seekers will now carry photos ID, you know, like people did under Nazi Germany.

Good news: woman finds traces of real chicken parts in her KFC
To Wellingborough, U.K., where amidst the fat, cardboard, grease and batter, Cassandra Perkins, 22, has found something exciting and newsworthy in her KFC dinner
"It looked disgusting and pink, I didn't want to touch it," she tells the Northampton Chronicle. "I first thought that it may have been brain or lung, it certainly wasn't chicken. My burger had a hair in it as well."
Beef? Fish? Tortoise? No. It was chicken. As KFC explains:
"Sometimes mistakes can happen and unfortunately on rare occasions, giblets are not removed when they should have been. We have reminded our team members to take extra care in future, and if a customer is ever unhappy with their food we encourage them to let our team know, who will always be happy to help."
Who knew there was actual chicken in a KFC meal?

The most insane wind turbine photo of all time
Wind turbines reduce the amount of CO2 being released to the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. Well, that's the idea. And then you see this picture from Sweden.
The rotor blades of a wind turbine to ice up bringing the blades to a complete stop. To fix the "problem" a helicopter is employed (burning aviation fuel) to spray hot water (which is heated in the frigid temperatures using a truck equipped with a 260 kW oil burner) on the blades of the turbine to de-ice them.
The aviation fuel, the diesel for the truck, and the oil burned to heat the water, could produce more electricity (at the right time to meet demand) than the unfrozen wind turbine could ever produce. (Before it freezes up again).

Article Summary
Small-scale courier services, electricians, plumbers or any other professionals who depend on being able to drive through city streets for their livelihoods and need a generous helping of cargo space to boot, may well find the novel mia electric microvan a very good fit indeed. The mia U doesn't have anywhere near the storage space of Ford's trailblazer Transit Connect electric van that we featured in 2010, but it does have a similar battery range and speed, and places the driver right in the center of the action.

I'm registering a receiver to capture the ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION in code i.e. I am not registering it in the application manifest. All is working fine but I notice that I automatically receive a broadcast as soon as I register my receiver and despite the network being already on.
My question is can I rely on this automatic broadcast to check whether the network is available or not i.e. not explicitly call methods to check the network?
I was only expecting a broadcast when a network changed and not upon registering my receiver, however the fact that I do receive a broadcast is very useful but can I rely on it. Is this a documented action?

The yin and yang of Jim Creek near the Butte persists.
On one hand, the clear-water creek flowing into glacial Knik River offers incredible scenery and fishing that at times is nothing less than outstanding. Fighting a fresh, acrobatic silver salmon while gazing upon the Knik Glacier and Pioneer Peak is an outdoors experience hard to beat.
Dealing with trash, gunfire and anglers who flout both the law and fellow anglers' ethics by yanking snagging hooks through the water can be nothing less than dispiriting.
A sampling of Alaska State Troopers dispatches out of Jim Creek over the last few weeks:
• Joshua Harrison, 28, of Palmer, was charged with using weighted hooks in an effort to snag salmon. His fish were seized.
• Emma Martin, 56, of Goodnews Bay, was charged with attempting to snag salmon with weighted hooks.
• Susan Wrir, 40, of Palmer, was charged with attempting to snag salmon with weighted hooks.
• Tia Martin, 28, of Chugiak, was charged with trying to snag salmon with weighted hooks.
• Edgar Verano, 59, of Anchorage, was charged with attempting to snag salmon.
• Joseph F. White, 26, of Palmer, was charged with fishing in fresh water with weighted hooks.
• Daniel Sherwood, 29, of Eagle River, was charged with snagging a salmon.
• Heather Berger, 28, of Palmer, was charged with illegally discharging a firearm in the weapons-restricted area of the Knik Public Use Area.
To anglers accustomed to such bucolic settings as Kepler-Bradley Lakes or the Anchor River, a list like that is little more than a litany of lawlessness.
"I don't think it's anything out of the ordinary," said Lt. Tory Oleck of the Alaska State Troopers. "There's always some snagging."
"It's always been a hot spot for us when the fish show up. It happens every year at this time. Some people are just prone to snag. The temptation can become too great when the fish aren't cooperating."
David Griffin of the Department of Natural Resources goes a step farther.
"Jim Creek was notorious as the place to go and do whatever you wanted, lawful or unlawful," he said. "What we've been trying to do is change the paradigm, and it takes time. It's difficult, and sometimes it's painful.
"I would say things have improved."
The Knik River Public Use Area was created four years ago. It encompasses 200,000 acres of state land, 60,000 acres of federal land and about 1,000 acres of private land where an array of wildlife roam and recreational opportunities abound.
Of all the birds, animals and fish that pass through, salmon probably attract the most attention. Jim Creek is among several Mat-Su streams enjoying a nice silver salmon run so far this season, said Dave Rutz, the Palmer-based biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
During weekends at the peak of silver or red salmon runs, upward of 300 people can crowd the river banks, Griffin said.
All types.
"For many years, a variety of unlawful activities have occurred on lands throughout the Knik River corridor, including resource degradation, vehicle burnings, garbage dumping, hazardous waste disposal, vandalism, underage drinking, litter, reckless target shooting and tree cutting," notes the Knik River Public Use Area website.
But Griffin believes that regular patrols by ticket- writing Troopers, and new regulations, have helped. The public has chipped in with cleanup events and greater vigilance. Some 20 offenses ranging from burning wooden pallets to dumping a vehicle to discarding hazardous substances are punishable by fines up to $300.
"Just this past weekend, I was out there and stopped by a camp to say hi," Griffin said of the area that's a bumpy ride down a wet and rutted dirt road from Sullivan Avenue. "It was a mom, a dad and a couple of kids.
"He said they used to come out 10 years ago to recreate and stopped. They didn't like seeing all the trash and the hoodlums. But they like the trooper presence and they like the DNR presence, so they started coming back."
Progress, however, is slow.
"We still have along way to go," Oleck acknowledged. "But it's not as bad as it was just a few years back."
Then, he recalled, torching cars was a weekly, if not a daily, occurrence.
"Since then, a lot of bad behavior has stopped,'' Oleck said. "We haven't corralled the shooting out there yet, but we have regs in place and we're working on it.
"It's a cleaner place. We've stopped some of the trash fires and burning of pallets.
"An inch at a time."
Biologist Rutz agrees.
"It's progressing pretty slow," he said, "but it's certainly a lot more pleasing going out there. The number of junk cars is way, way, way down."
And people have noticed.
"I've been out there at 7 a.m. on a Wednesday morning," Griffin said, "and I'm there with 75 people when the fish are running."
Reach reporter Mike Campbell at firstname.lastname@example.com or 257-4329.
Increasing bag limits
In response to a strong silver salmon run to the Knik Arm drainage, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game will boost the bag limit from two to three fish starting Saturday.
Jim Creek and the Little Susitna River are excluded.
In addition, the weekend-only fisheries in Cottonwood, Fish and Wasilla creeks will add Mondays as a legal fishing day for the rest of the season, with Fish Creek opening Saturday, a week earlier than normal.
Area management biologist Dave Rutz said a strong silver return to Fish Creek, where a weir is operated primarily to count red salmon, suggested liberalizing the catch. Fish Creek has an escapement goal of 1,200-4,400 silvers. Through Tuesday, about 1,400 silvers had passed the weir, with Rutz projecting an escapement of 12,000 fish.
"There is a strong correlation between runs to Fish Creek and other Knik Arm streams," he wrote in the emergency order issued Wednesday.Photos: Alaska fishing

Energy and Climate Change in the American Southwest
Editor's Note: Please consider supporting Ari on this worthwhile cause!
The U.S. Southwest is under water duress. More water is used in the region each year than the amount of rain and snowfall – a shortfall accounted for by diminishing groundwater reserves.
The Colorado River – the Southwest's only significant source of water – is already over-allocated and slight disruptions can endanger power generation and water supply in the region A recent study called "The Last Drop: Climate Change and the Southwest Water Crisis" found that climate change could add $1 trillion to the costs of water scarcity in the Southwest over the next century.
Water is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to climate change in the Southwest, where models predict a hotter, drier climate developing over the course of the century.
A Great Aridness,a recent book by William deBuys, explores what climate change could mean to the Southwest. In the book's introduction, Jonathan Overpeck, a climate scientist who co-directs the Institute of the Environment at the University of Arizona, says, "climate change will produce winners and losers, and those in the Southwest will be losers. There's no doubt."
With my Kickstarter project Energy and Climate Change in the American Southwest I plan to traverse the Southwest this summer reporting on what's happening with these issues right now – and to determine what impact the so-called losers can have on their fate.
I've identified nine critical stories – from the surging natural gas production of Midland, TX to the controversial solar parks of the Mojave Desert – that demand attention for the way they are reshaping the Southwest. In some cases literally, such as with forests devastated by wildfires and bark beetles – both growing in intensity due to climate change. It is unclear what will replace traditional piñon and ponderosa trees as the climate of the Southwest changes and flora and fauna migrate accordingly.
In other cases the reshaping is more socioeconomic rather than physical.
This spring the Navajo Nation signed a contract with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to study what technologies would be best for developing natural resources on the sprawling reservation. Unemployment hovers around 50 percent in the region and a main goal of the project is to improve economic conditions and prevent industry from taking advantage of the tribe, as has historically occurred with mining and oil leasing. Clean energy production also falls in-line with long held cultural beliefs of the Navajo relating to environmental stewardship and preservation.

Ralph Perez says:
If they had thought ahead, the amounts of sunshine available for solar PV would be in the hundreds of Gigawatts -for several areas. Millions of rooftops are waiting and available for this clean alternative. Not only would this slow the surge of global warming, but it would advance the health of the citizenry. There is no need for the layers of smog over any southwest city. Our deserts are virtually untapped. The BLM is just recovering from the Wall Street ambush that made shambles out of their application process (do a search for affirmation, please do not puke when you see what transpired).
The "City of Lights" is a pollution monster, compared to what it could be. Look at any Las Vegas skyline for evidence of solar PV.... there is none. Hookers, gambling, pollution and drunkeness are the norm. It will get uglier if those with monopoly control have their way.

Good luck, Ari. I'll follow your project for sure. I recently spent some time in the SW and I couldn't help but thinking how much the area looks vulnerable to climate change, particularly how the communities are positioned in relation to geography and other such factors.
I'm curious to see what you find out.

Compliance: Know Where & How Open Source Software is Used
The 5 Myths of ip risk with OSS
- All open source licenses require the release of source code for everything.
- None of these (license and IP) agreements are enforceable so it doesn't matter anyway.
- No one will ever know (if we use it but don't observe license compliance).
- Our corporate policy says we don't use OSS.
- We aren't distributing software, so we don't have to pay attention, right?
98% of companies are unaware of the open source code they are using.
55% of companies have no open source governance policies or procedures in place.
Ensure Open Source Software Compliance
While the pervasive use of open source software is helping companies build better, faster, and cheaper software, this growing code base complexity increases the need for proper code governance and license compliance.
Uncontrolled use of open source can introduce code that does not comply with corporate policies, is not properly licensed, contains security vulnerabilities, or introduces bugs that are costly and time-consuming to fix.
Luckily, we are the leaders in open source compliance, helping companies of all sizes understand:
Get Started
Not complying with open source licenses can be very costly!
The recent Versata Software litigation
serves as a warning to companies not properly managing their use of open source software.
Keep Going
Are you struggling to ensure open source compliance in the cloud?
You're not alone.

Thank you - I do like trying to capture the nuances of light and shade - appreciate the comments!
Been there once, and yeah you caught the mood! Excellent job!
very nicely done.. on the thumbnail it looked like a photo
I like this a lot Really does encapsulate the mood of walking through the forest - looks warm and calm to me.
Who doesn't love walking through the forest?
Very nice painting. There is something soothing about it.

******In reaction to an independent BBC review on taste and standards commissioned after offensive comments about actor Andrew Sachs created a public outcry, the BBC Trust has said that the most offensive language should only be used in "exceptional circumstances" on BBC One between 9 and 10 p.m.******Editorial guidelines should clarify that BBC should not make programmes that "celebrate or condone gratuitous, aggressive, intrusive and humiliating behaviour," the Trust ruled, recognizing that "licence fee payers can distinguish between comedy and satire, which they appreciate, and unjustified humiliation, of which they disapprove." ******The study, which polled 2,700 participants, finds that viewers don't want more censorship or regulation.******"Most people value the creativity of the BBC and accept it may sometimes result in people being offended."******What do you think? Should BBC allow swearing on air?

Will the next election be hacked?
Chris Hood remembers the day in August 2002 that he began to question what was really going on in Georgia. An African-American whose parents fought for voting rights in the South during the 1960s, Hood was proud to be working as a consultant for Diebold Election Systems, helping the company promote its new electronic voting machines. During the presidential election two years earlier, more than 94,000 paper ballots had gone uncounted in Georgia - almost double the national average - and Secretary of State Cathy Cox was under pressure to make sure every vote was recorded properly.

Reasonably priced, well made vegan foodPosted on 09 / 19 / 2015
The Veggie Grill has become my go-to downtown veggie meal. The entire menu is Vegan.
The food is very tasty; the fries are delicious, and the burgers were well balanced [veggie burgers can so easily be dry]. I have also eaten an asian style salad here and it was fantastic! I steer away from salads usually as I find I am not full up, but it was so nourishing and flavoursome I was really shocked.
I recommend this establishment.
Cons: No Wifi

NEWPORT BEACH – Emergency crews were working to contain and clean up hazardous materials spilled into Newport Harbor after a 40-foot fishing trawler sank where it was moored on Sunday.
Though the boat sank near shipping lanes east of Balboa Peninsula, the channel is still operating normally, according to Orange County Sheriff's Department Harbor Patrol Sgt. Jeff Foster. Some 300 feet of boom was dropped into the harbor to contain diesel fuel and other material released from the boat, which sank sometime overnight and was discovered by a passerby at 7:12 a.m. on Sunday
The harbor patrol worked with the California Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Coast Guard to respond to the spill. The trawler should be raised by midnight and the environmental impact is believed to be minimal, according to Foster.
"We don't suspect any suspicious activity at this time," Foster said.

Last Call
Oregon Tale
A genuine American memoir in need of an e-publisher. Anyone interested?
It's bad form to laugh in front of a casket, so I dutifully suppressed the chuckle. The body of my grandfather Raymond Sylvester Lott was in pretty good shape, considering, but his eyebrows were almost completely gone. As with almost every aspect of Gramps's life, there was a story there.
His weekend cabin on the North Fork of the Lewis River was heated by a wood-burning stove. He had tried to get some logs to light, but they were too wet to catch. So of course he added gasoline. The flames exploded everywhere. Gramps was lucky the fire didn't burn the place to the ground. He escaped to tell the tale, but those patches of hair above his eyes that he had used to punctuate so many jokes and yarns over the years were scorched right off.
I have just read dozens of stories from Gramps's own hand. When he turned 80, my family gave him a notebook decorated in a fishing fly pattern and told him to fill it up with his recollections and cast it back at us. He wrote them up and titled the composition, "The Tales & Yarns of a Life Well Lived." It traveled with us as we moved from place to place. Finally, this year, I dusted it off and had it transcribed. Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with it all.
Maybe you can help me out, dear reader. The memoir does have some historical value, even in its current, highly subjective form. My Great-Grandparents Charles and Anna Lott came from Illinois on a wagon train headed for the California gold rush, but they didn't make it all the way. Charles got in an argument ("perhaps shaped by alcohol," Gramps suggests) with the wagon master and he let them off along the way. Their daughter Ida was abducted by Crow Indians in Montana, but they gave her back in trade for some horses. The family eventually settled down in Oregon's Willamette Valley in Lowell.
His mother's family, the Russells, hailed from Texas. They came to Oregon along with the cattle they drove there, though Grandpa Russell caught tuberculosis and returned to Texas where he was "gathered to his ancestors." Our author puts it like that because Grandpa Russell was one-quarter Indian. "I have always been proud of my 1/16th," he explains, "but it does me no good whatsoever. It just makes me want to hunt and fish!"
His other passion was electricity. As a child he would tinker with electrical equipment in the basement. When I was young, I asked him for a Transformer toy for my birthday. He misunderstood and gave me an electrical transformer instead. For more than 20 years, he worked for Otis Elevator Company. He believes the company pulled strings to keep him out of World War II. He serviced elevators, but his real job was to find a way to keep problem customers happy. At one point, he bribed a customer with some of Otis's extra gasoline ration cards to stop bellyaching.
An able storyteller, Gramps includes a few family mysteries here. Great-Grandma and Grandpa Lott were "running from something," but no one knows what. Charles wanted to tell his kids on his deathbed, but Anna said, "No, Pa, don't tell 'em; I'll tell them later." She then suffered a stroke "and never awakened!" For my part, I've always figured Lott was an assumed name. When he was looking to buy his cabin, Gramps had to scrape $2,500 together in a week. "I can't tell you where I got the money but I borrowed some of it somewhere," he teases. I'm guessing, loan shark.
The manuscript is short -- a little more than 20,000 words -- and it's not up to professional standards, because it was never meant to be a professional memoir. In the foreword, Gramps warns, "This book will be full of grammatical errors, lousy spelling, and dangling participles!" I wouldn't release it to the world in its current form, of course. But I keep wondering: What if I cleaned it up a bit? What if I wrote an intro and notes and released it as an e-book? Would anybody be interested?

Boxed benefits
A colorful box complements EcoTraction's innovative stand-up pouches. Earth Innovations vp of operations Marc Appleby says the self-merchandising boxes hold six 5-lb bags.
The 40#ECT RSC white corrugated boxes, from Wasatch Container (www.wasatchcontainer.com), are flexo-printed in a three-color scheme picked up from the bag.
The box features a pop-out, perforated window in the front to display the contents. The window section carries promotional copy that can be used as standalone, point-of-purchase signage to highlight EcoTraction's three key benefits along with the logo. Retailers can remove the sign and place it near the front of the store separate from the product display, Appleby suggests.
"The boxes can be stacked in different patterns to create a self-merchandising display," he adds. "Under the short timelines, we managed to get it all coordinated so that the boxes arrived at the co-packer at the same time as the bags. We've had a lot of good feedback about the box as well."

Jason Kirkaldy May 23, 2014 at 2:49pm
Because extra shots ( mulligans) are in play, locust is where we will be playing. We will meet at locust anyway.
Sean Morgan May 23, 2014 at 1:00pm
I vote for locust.
noted, I'm leaning towards locust as well because of the mulligans.
Eddie Ruiz Grateful Discer May 23, 2014 at 12:44pm
The Toboggan could be fun but also make for a long day as groups show up to play so keep that in mind its going to be a nice day.
Jason Kirkaldy May 23, 2014 at 10:24am
OK so all in favor of switching to toboggan cast your vote now.... I'm for either course, but currently we are scheduled for locust. We have 1 vote for toboggan so far...
Tim Thomas May 23, 2014 at 9:16am
There is a pretty good chance I will not be able to do this. But I will make sure a nice amount of cans make it your way for the can drive!

Two people with fun and creative hobbies.
I am an artist and hobbyist photographer lolz So you will find that stuff here mostly, but I am majorly a cosplayer. I love my cosplays and love getting pics of cosplays. I'm still kinda rough in the artist stuff but I do try and add sketches and doodles once in a while when I can. Plus I will be starting up college soon in Film Production so it may get slower on here than before. Sorry guys.
