text: I have a sudden problem with my galaxy. It has worked perfectly until now. All of a sudden it won't let me in. When i press the power button or center button, the touch password screen sometimes comes up and sometimes doesn't. If it does, it doesn't register me touching the screen and eventually the screen fades out again. I have no idea why, I didn't install anything. The only thing I can think of is that my battery ran out in the middle of playing angry birds, since then I have had this issue. When it happens the only thing that fixes it is to take the battery out. Then it works for a few minutes. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Adam

Cancer Council Victoria is encouraging Victorian blokes to cut back on booze, get active and watch their waistline this Men's Health Week in order to prevent bowel cancer - a cancer that kills 761 Victorian men each year.
Craig Sinclair, Director of the Cancer Prevention Centre at Cancer Council Victoria, said there were proven links between bowel cancer and lifestyle factors such as obesity, alcohol, diet and inactivity.
"Recent Australian Institute of Health and Welfare research (1) has shown that around two-thirds of adult males and one-quarter of boys (aged 5-17 years) are overweight or obese, only 5% of Aussie men are consuming enough fruit and vegetables and more than half don't undertake sufficient physical activity to derive any health benefits," he said.
"Combine this with figures that show more than half of Australian males are drinking alcohol on either a daily or weekly basis and you've got a pattern of behaviour that could likely increase the risk of certain chronic conditions including bowel cancer."
Mr Sinclair said that while diet, physical activity and weight were well-known risk factors for bowel cancer, recently released figures had shown for the first time convincing evidence of the link between alcohol and bowel cancer in men. The figures estimate that around 7% of all bowel cancers in Australian men are attributable to alcohol - this equates to more than 500 cases each year.
"Previous estimations have pre-dated the link between alcohol and bowel cancer. Given the high incidence of bowel cancer in Australia, this means historically we have substantially underestimated the true burden of alcohol-related cancer in Australia," said Mr Sinclair.
Mr Sinclair said that Men's Health Week (13-19 June 2011) was an ideal time to prompt men to consider lifestyle habits that may be contributing to their cancer risk.
Bowel cancer kills 73 Australians each week yet if found early, over 90% of cases can be cured.
"Early detection is crucial to beating bowel cancer. Cancer Council therefore recommends doing a simple at-home screening test called a faecal occult blood test (FOBT) every two years from the age of 50 to help find it as early as possible," said Mr Sinclair.
"If people want to improve their health and reduce their risk of cancer and other chronic diseases, the best approach is to maintain a healthy weight by eating well and exercising and avoiding known carcinogens like tobacco smoke and alcohol."

By Ben Golliver
What do they say about the best-laid plans? Right, that they often go awry.
The Lakers, after acquiring Steve Nash and Dwight Howard for relative peanuts this summer, were supposed to cruise; so much so that forward Metta World Peace even hinted that his team could set the NBA record for most regular season victories. Lakers coach Mike Brown would settle for a single victory right now, after his team went 0-8 during the preseason and has started the regular season 0-2, with losses to the Mavericks and Trail Blazers earlier this week. Brown has come under immediate fire for his offensive philosophy and the Lakers played without focus or much effort during Wednesday night's loss in Portland.
The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday that All-Star guard Kobe Bryant is already sick of the panicking and criticism, suggesting that any outside voices with doomsday scenarios or strategic critiques should pipe down pronto.
"Now you have Mike Brown telling everybody to be patient," Bryant said. "Back then, it was Phil Jackson telling everybody to shut up.
"The critics are more likely to take runs at him [Brown] than they would at Phil Jackson."
Now Bryant can be the one to ask for silence. "Yeah because I've won, so I can," Bryant said. "Mike, it would be a little tougher for him to say that. So I'll say it for him: Everybody shut up. Let us work."
Bryant, who was hit with a frustration technical foul against the Blazers, also reportedly used the words "dumb,""stupid" and "idiotic," directly and indirectly, to describe the attacks on L.A.'s offensive approach and slow start.
Howard expressed a similar call for patience following Wednesday night's loss, although he did so a bit more pleasantly.
"We'll get better with time," Howard said. "L.A. wasn't built in a day. … We need to stay patient. We need all of our fans to stay patient with us. This is a process. Dynasties weren't built in a day."
"We didn't just expect for us to come together and be awesome, just like that," Howard said. "It doesn't work like that. I don't remember any team that did that. Even the titles that [Michael] Jordan won, it took him years to get there."
Side-by-side, Howard's defense of the Lakers is a little bit cleaner than Bryant's. While Howard seems to forget that the clock is ticking on much of the Lakers core, at least he didn't reference Brown's credentials -- or lack of championship credentials -- as Bryant did. It's nice for Bryant to step up and take bullets for his coach, but perhaps he didn't need to make it quite so clear that that was what he was doing.
The situation only got more difficult for Brown, who had attempted to explain his Princeton offense approach on Wednedsay by pointing out that it made life easier on Nash, who is 38.
"Steve Nash has said it himself," Brown asserted. "They can call him if they want, he's said it himself. He doesn't feel like he's as burdened because he doesn't have to make every play for everybody all the time with what we are trying to do. He can give it up and get it back. He says he's felt as fresh as he's ever felt in his career because he doesn't feel the pressure of making every single play."
Reporters did ask Nash, and he didn't exactly stand by Brown's explanation, ESPNLA.com noted.
Asked whether that was indeed the case, Nash said, "It's not that it wears me out. It's that I'm not sure right now that should be the focus right now.Clippers Steve Blake Chris Paul Grizzlies
"I'm very reluctant to worry about myself. I want to learn, I want to build this team up and then if I need to be more proactive and a bigger part of things, that'll come. But right now, I want to try to get the offense going, get the guys going, get everyone's confidence up and we'll find a happy medium sometime down the road. I'm not worried about myself."

(CBS) - A new study says men who sleep in the same room as their children - have lower testosterone levels. Researchers at Notre Dame found when new fathers slept near their kids - their testosterone levels dropped. Previous research has shown men with less testosterone are more involved with their children's upbringing.
(CNN) - New worries for tourists worldwide. Health leaders have sent warnings to Yosemite National Park visitors-- from 39 other countries-- about a potentially deadly hantavirus uncovered at some of the park's cabins this summer. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says up to 10-thousand people are at risk. So far, the deadly lung disease has infected six people that we know of -- two of those people have died. The CDC says fever and fatigue, a history of potential rural rodent exposure, together with shortness of breath could be indicative of the hantavirus.
(CBS) - Being popular in high school may lead to bad habits. Researchers looked at nearly 2-thousand students and found kids considered popular are more likely to smoke. The study in the "Journal of Adolescent Health" also found students are more likely to smoke if their friends do.

(Reuters) - Online travel agency Expedia Inc's third-quarter profit beat analysts' estimates, driven by an increase in hotel bookings in the Asia-Pacific region and Europe, sending the company's shares up 16 percent after the bell.
Expedia, whose brands include Hotwire and Hotels.com, said hotel revenue rose 20 percent, while hotel room night bookings jumped 27 percent.
"We saw ongoing strength in our hotel business with room night growth accelerating across all major regions, especially in the Asia-Pacific regions and Europe," Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi said on a conference call with analysts.
The company, which expanded its deal with Chinese online travel service Elong Inc LONG.O last month, reported a 22 percent increase in international revenue.
"With Elong's consistent share gains, we believe that we are one of the few global e-commerce companies that have established a significant and lasting position in China," Khosrowshahi said.
Air tickets sold grew by 11 percent primarily due to the acquisition of Nordic travel operator VIA Travel in March.
"It's clear that VIA travel is adding to their attach rates and that they are doing well capitalizing on taking global market share," The Benchmark company Analyst Daniel Kurnos said.
Expedia said adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) grew 6 percent, slightly lower than its July forecast of growth in the high-single-digit to low-double-digit percentage range.
The lower EBITDA growth is a result of the company's investment in its technology platforms and international expansion, analyst Kurnos said.
Saturation in the online travel markets in North America and Europe, and competition from new entrants such as Google Inc (GOOG.O) and Yahoo Inc YHOO.O, prompted Expedia to consolidate its websites.
In August, the company also launched mobile and tablet applications that offer discounts, to tap the large pool of customers who use smartphones to book rooms and air tickets.
"Expedia made these investments and upgraded their technology in the hope of improving conversions and there is evidence that they are starting to see the benefits of that play out," White said.
Conversion rate -- or the percentage of visitors to the company's website that buy hotel or air packages -- is a key metric for online travel agencies such as Expedia.
Net income from continuing operations fell to $169.9 million, or 1.20 per share, from $170.9 million, or $1.22 per share, a year earlier.
Excluding special items, the company earned $1.32 per share.
Revenue rose 17 percent to $1.20 billion.
Analysts expected earnings of $1.26 per share, on revenue of $1.17 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Shares of Expedia, which has a market value of about $7.29 billion, have fallen 10 percent since hitting a life high on September 21. They closed at $51.25 on Thursday on the Nasdaq. (Reporting by Tej Sapru in Bangalore; Editing by Roshni Menon)

A little over two years ago Freddie Grey, a Baltimore criminal, died in the back of a police van. This lead to days of rioting which lead to many deaths and much of the city in ruins. The rioters were probably taking Mayor Stephanie-Rawlings-Blake at her word when she claimed they needed 'space to destroy' ....you know, to assuage their grief at Freddie's death. She and her top law enforcement officials (seen in the top pic...clearly great legal minds, driven by a thirst for justice) came up with additional measures to get the city back on an even footing.
Marlyn Mosby the State's Attorney (the epitome of the angry black affirmative action woman) immediately put the cops on trial and in the finest traditions of African justice virtually declared them guilty before they ever appeared in court. In fact all the cases against them collapsed.....opening the gates for more 'space to destroy'. Other measures included keeping police off the streets in 'sensitive' (i.e.black) neighbourhoods and forcing White policemen to retire, to be replaced by corrupt and incompetent minorities who immediately realised that stopping crime in 'sensitive areas' would more likely lead to the police ending up in the dock than the criminals.
Well lots actually. The new Mayor is 'deeply concerned' by the ensuing crime rate. Murders are now at a record rate (more than 300 this year so far, Montana by contrast has had 37) but as one journalist noted 'much has been made of the staggering pace of killings in Baltimore. But less known are the increases in rapes, robberies, assaults, burglaries and arsons this year.' By taking encouragement from the two-day 'ceasefires' (sic) arranged with the thugs the Mayor inadvertently revealed the city to be a war zone. Meanwhile Whites and businesses - same thing really - flee the city, further impairing the city's finances. So the city Administration now wants 'assistance' - which means White taxpayers picking up the tab yet again for the incompetence and depredations of the black undertow.
This is but the tip of the iceberg. Municipal pension funds are insolvent right across the country but self-evidently the worst are in minority-run areas. Take out the popcorn and enjoy the fun. They might yet make good on their threat to return to Africa if things turn out badly enough.

Lost's stripped-down turning machine is more suited for advanced surfers.
The Whiplash model shaped for Chris Ward by Matt Biolas
Size: 6'2″
Width: 18.42″
Thickness: 2.25″
(parenthesis is where arrow goes)
•(center of board on the stringer where front foot would go) V-deck keeps rails fuller and stringer thicker, which allows more strength to push on to create speed and drive.
•(bottom of board) Exaggerated rocker curve without adding rocker makes it so you don't lose drive but get looser turns.
•(bottom of tail) More curve in the back half of the board gives the illusion of more tail rocker, which lends to better tight-radius surfing, i.e., quicker turns.
•(nose) Narrow nose helps hold rail curve.
•(rail) Bump blended out of tail creates one elliptical curve that runs the length of the rails. "There is little room for mistakes," Biolas says about riding a Whiplash. "This is a board for advanced surfers."
•(deck) Ultralight foam with matched deck rocker means little of the high-density foam nearest the surface of the blank needs to be milled away. Combined with S-Glass on the deck, you have what Biolas refers to as "the highest strength-to-weight ratio" possible.
•(bottom of tail) Simple bottom contouring with V off the tail gives the board added speed.
•(fins) Wider-base carbon-fiber fins with more rake are glassed on to save the weight of a fin system.
Shaper Notes:
"Anything not needed is taken out."
"Cory Lopez won the 2003 U.S. Open on a Whiplash."

European and Russian industry pledge greater cooperation
The Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD) and the Union of the Aviation Industry of Russia (UAI) have today agreed to reinforce their cooperation in areas ranging from airworthiness requirements and aircraft certification to research activities.
Pier Francesco Guarguaglini and Alexey Fyodorov, respectively presidents of ASD and UAI, have signed, today in Rome, a Memorandum of Understanding whereby the two associations commit to developing joint activities and to supporting each other on a wide array of aerospace-related issues. Mr Guarguaglini, who is also the Chairman and CEO of Finmeccanica, declared: "While a fair amount of competition exists between Europe's and Russia's aerospace industries, our companies have also proved able to develop fruitful partnerships. It was important for ASD and UAI to go down the same path, and to commit to further cooperation on issues of common interest. I am confident that the signature of this Memorandum of Understanding will pave the way for a significant number of common initiatives, and will be greatly beneficial to our two industries."
Mr Fyodorov, President of UAI and CEO of the United Aircraft Corporation, declared: "Our interconnection has a long-standing tradition. Moreover, under the current economic conditions it acquires special importance since the further successful development of both Russian and European aviation industries requires broad international cooperation. I do believe that the signing of our Memorandum of Understanding will serve well the mutually beneficial business partnership established between a wide range of Russian and European aircraft manufacturing companies."
The Memorandum of Understanding signed today by ASD and UAI notably stipulates that the two organisations will: Promote the harmonization of the Russian airworthiness regulatory framework, taking into account standards and requirements of the EU legislation; Promote the development of programmes related to aviation standards, airworthiness requirements, cooperation with suppliers and aviation authorities; Promote the exchange of information about standards and practices, including in the areas of defence and security; Promote common research activities and monitoring of the international aviation market, its state and development trends; Promote common forums, scientific symposiums, conferences and workshops on the relevant problems of civil aviation.

I'm certainly finding it pretty annoying and would prefer to just not have chat at all. I got like three messages from sex bots last night.
I fully agree with you. I never gonna need the chat feature then why can't I just turn it off. At the moment I have to report each of the spammers (I've got the 2nd spam message by now).
I've started ignoring this...One day I might miss something importa- hahahaha, who am I kidding, I never use imgur messaging.
Edit: get it together imgur, this time it wasn't even a sex bot, just a bug showing me a message when there was not.
Make messaging a feature only available to Trusted+ members... that would fix it...
Have you guys missed that the ︙ (three dots) symbol gets you a "Report User" option?
You can then select a reason, like "spam", which reports and deletes the conversation.
sadly not available on the app. You can only block the user on the app and not report them.
Well, that is sad indeed.
it is as a lot of users , especially the new ones, are accessing the site more on the apps from what i can tell from the posts and comments i see.
Oh look, now it's not only just sex bots, but accounts sending messages about morally and ethically wrong activity. good on ya imgur for allowing this
@officialimguraffe is there any word from the inside in regard to this latest spam based challenge?
Pro: This is a good idea. Consolidate all the bot posts!Con: Like anyone crossing the fence to Community to complain about something is going to search for an existing topic.
Greetings!!. Now do any of you consider this image to be a spam image http://i.imgur.com/vTXRUMO.jpg
how about this http://i.imgur.com/2b88xwF.png
as these are cropping up in user sub like a swarm of locusts atm, im talking like perhaps 30 to 40 times an hour.
Opinions please , as feel that they are spam and as such reporting them. Is anyone else seeing this trend?
One Imgurians response in user subhttp://i.imgur.com/b9IYBj2.png
Yes, that looks like spam to me.
all new accounts from what i can see. Its spoiling my evenings enjoyment of user sub
Ya, das spam.
Wish i had a short cut report button , it would make culling them so much easier.
We're well aware of these spammers and are working on it.
It's so frustrating
Spam, should have been marked mature spam link, spam.
You da real mvp
I have RSI from reporting a fuck ton of these today

Stuart Shoemaker [goldisfreedom.com] has coined the perfect description of the nefarious elites who control the Republican Party and why they are so hated by true conservatives and hard money people. He calls them the "New Carpetbaggers."
These are the Big Government, Northeastern Republicans (the Rockefellers, the Bushes, the Greenspans, etc.) who have throughout the 20th century held prestigious positions in the corporate-banking-political triad that runs Washington and Wall Street with fiat money inflation and stock market manipulation.
Why the term, "New Carpetbaggers?" Because, as Shoemaker points out, they have in the past few decades migrated south in order to enhance their control over the levers of government. This has allowed them to expand their grip on power, which is the real lure that excites them. Freedom, justice, and the Constitution are not values that motivate such men. Naked expansive power and control are what move these velvet-glove authoritarians.
What they wish to control, of course, are the purse strings to the economy and thus the political levers to the nation. Once these are sufficiently centralized in Washington, then their New World Order vision can begin to take shape. Just as the Northern Republicans of the 1870's and their mega-bank backers came south to enlarge their control over the country in the aftermath of the Civil War, so have the New Carpetbaggers — the Rockefeller/Bushite Republicans — come south to solidify their political grip on today's America. Their migration takes a different shape from that of their predecessors in the 1870's, but it accomplishes the same result. It expands centralization of government in Washington. The difference today is that the power horizon has been expanded. The ultimate goal is now world government and the end of national sovereignties. But the mystic South, with her prize electoral block, is still what draws the Yankee money elites and their political henchmen. Like Antony to Cleopatra, they come to court her.
Forty Acres and a Mule
The New Carpetbaggers began to realize the necessity of migrating into the South back in 1968 when Richard Nixon (newly initiated into the CFR oligarchy by the Rockefellers) won the Presidency by appealing to the Southern conservative voters. That was the year George Wallace was also wooing the Southern voters, which was why the race was so close between Nixon and Hubert Humphrey. If Wallace had stayed out, the Southern conservatives would have overwhelmingly gone with Nixon and created a landslide for the Republicans.
Suddenly the old political game had been transformed. The previously solid Democratic South was now open territory to the GOP. Nixon was the first to capitalize on this historic shift, and ever since then the Northeastern Republicans have been "migrating south" to lure Dixie's conservative voters into believing that the Republican Party has come to restore the limited government Constitutional system that the Democratic Party has so wantonly wasted.
And like credulous little children, the Southerners believe the lies being spewed out. Every year they buy into the same old Rockfeller/Bushite political malarky such as "Read my lips — no new taxes," "Let's dust off the Tenth Amendment and restore states rights," "We need a foreign policy that eschews nation building," etc.
In the 1870's, the tune was 40 acres and a mule to be given to any newly freed slave who voted for the Republican Party. Of course, the carpetbagger Republicans neglected to tell the black voters that they would be coming to live on a new plantation, one being formed for them in Washington. Their status as slaves was not really to change. They would just have a new master — the ever burgeoning bureaucracy on the Potomac. And this master was not just meant for the black people; it was now meant for all people.
Well, today's Rockfeller/Bushite carpetbaggers see the same potential for political power in the South. Thus, every election year they offer the Southern voters what they want to hear about freedom from Big Government. They offer them disingenuous campaign bull.
What is so mystifying to this writer is, how can the rank and file voters of America continue to buy into endless streams of Republicans coming before them during election season announcing their intentions to cut back on government? Don't these rank and file Americans have memories? Don't they read history? Aside from a few devout contrarians such as Congressman Ron Paul, where in the past 40 years has there ever been a Republican to really "walk the walk" on cutting back government? There hasn't been anyone, and there won't be anyone because the Republican Party pols are bought and paid for by the Wall Street mega-bank crowd, both of whom live in mortal fear of having to give up their game of fiat money and progressive taxation, which are their instruments to power.
The way the game is played is by means of a tacit partnership between the two power elites of society, the banks and the politicians. The partnership is formed through the use of paper money and progressive tax rates. The political elites give the mega-banks the power to create paper wealth out of thin air via the Fed and its fractional reserve cartel, and in turn the banking elites put up with the politicians' employment of progressive tax rates. Even though a progressive tax is not beneficial to the banking elites, they tolerate it because it allows their partners the politicians to buy power through mass subsidies, programs, and pork. Thus both elite groups get something from their symbiotic relationship. The bankers get immensely wealthy through inflation of the money supply via interest paybacks, and the politicians get returned to power every year via the wealth they redistribute from the productive classes to the parasitical classes.
What makes the two burdens of inflation and taxes tolerable to each of the partners is that much of the progressive tax load is conveniently avoided by the banks through legal maneuvers they buy with their great wealth and through special privileges written into the law by their political partners in Washington. Much of the inflation burden is conveniently avoided by the politicians because of their ability to legislate their own salary increases at will. Thus, both partners are able to avoid the burden of the exploitation tool that the other uses. Bankers avoid the politicians tax; and politicians avoid the bankers debasement of the currency. The poor saps who get left holding the bag are the productive middle class who have to pay the confiscatory taxes and watch helplessly while the bankers steal an additional 3%-5% of their wealth every year through inflation.
Can the System Be Reformed?
There are numerous libertarian-conservative activists trying to "reform" the system by working in the Republican Party. I wish these hearty souls well in their efforts to work WITHIN the party, but they are deluding themselves.
The Republican power structure is shrewd enough to patronize all freedom-oriented reform efforts with superficial concessions and lip service to the Constitution. But this is about all the "in-party" activists will get — a few patronizing rhetorical bones thrown their way during election season. The real essence of Republican administrations will continue to be dominated by pragmatic, unprincipled power lust, i.e., the Rockfeller/Bushite mindset.
The only answer to this dilemma is a genuine third party challenge that can circumvent the corporate-banking-political triad that has turned our allegedly "two-party" politics into a Demopublican charade. Without a genuine competitive third party in the campaign and in the nationally televised debates, NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE! Republicans and Democrats will alter their policies only if a counterveiling power threatens their rule by appealing to large constituencies of voters.
Why? Because the Demopublicans are blessed with a compliant media and a vast supporting corps of academic sympathizers. This establishes a near monopoly over what information is released through the media and the schools to the electorate. The media lackeys will never bite the hand that feeds them in Washington. They are today's version of Lenin's apparatchiks in the 1920's. They have memorized the appropriate cliches, and have accomplished the appropriate ethical-intellectual blanking out that massive statism requires. They get, in return, celebrity status in Washington and invitations to the palace dinners. The academics in the universities have become part of this monopoly because their Marxist sympathies long ago led them lockstep into the Keynesian/anti-capitalist paradigm. Both of these institutions, the media and the academy, have sold the idea of a free society down the river for the warmth of social and intellectual popularity.
This gives the Demopublican elites control over what information reaches the electorate. Since the media and the academics subscribe to the same goal of government centralization that the Demopublicans pursue, the electorate is never told that there is another political philosophy around which to organize our country. The Demopublican monopoly teaches statism, broadcasts statism, and presents only differing versions of statism in the election debates. The message of freedom and strict Constitutionalism is shut out.
The only way to break through this Demopublican vice grip is with a third party that becomes prominent enough to gain 15% in the polls and qualify for inclusion in the nationally televised election debates. Then at least the cause of freedom would have a chance because it would have a hearing in front of the voters.
If we cannot somehow break the Demopublican monopoly and open up the political process with a competitive third party that has some teeth, then America will continue to slip further and further into Tocqueville's "benevolent dictatorship" in the upcoming decades. This is the harsh reality that faces us as the entire world heads deeper into an economic meltdown that is going to bring waves of Demopublican demagoguery to our land in answer to the chaos that the Demopublicans themselves have caused.

Aesthetically, exterior trim provides a visual transition to define the boundaries of a building. Not so obvious is that exterior trim also serves a primary function to divert water away from vulnerable wall areas.Siding failure is almost always an installation error.

Jewish comedians banned for supporting racism
Gilad Atzmon writes:
A bitter row has broken out in the Jewish stand-up ghetto after Ivor Dembina, the owner of a leading comedy club, refused to book anyone who plays benefit gigs for a Jewish racist pro-Israeli organisation.
Dembina, a veteran Jewish comedian who runs the Hampstead Comedy Club, said anyone taking part in benefit gigs for JNF UK – the British arm of the Jewish National Fund, set up to fund Jewish people buying land in Palestinian territories – would be barred from performing at his venue.
This has led to a row with leading Jewish comedians, including Mark Maier and Steve Jameson, both of whom have a history of performing at the North London club. They criticised Dembina's handling of the situation, and accused him of "inconsistency" for accepting money from pro-Israeli audience members while banning pro-Israeli acts.

Published: Monday 8th June 2015 by The News Editor
Two men who spent years behind bars before their "unsafe" convictions were overturned have lost High Court actions in their fight for compensation.
Sam Hallam, who was convicted of murder, and Victor Nealon, who was found guilty of attempted rape, asked two judges to rule that UK law is incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) because it wrongly restricts compensation in "miscarriage of justice" cases.
Their judicial review challenges were the first to be brought against the coalition government's decision last year to narrow eligibility for an award.
Mr Hallam served more than seven years after being ordered, as a youth, to be detained at Her Majesty's pleasure for a minimum term of 12 years.
Mr Nealon was given a life sentence and served 17 years in jail – 10 more than the seven-year minimum term – after he persisted in claiming he was innocent.
Both men were set free after appeal judges ruled that fresh evidence made their convictions unsafe.
Lord Justice Burnett and Mrs Justice Thirlwall, sitting in London, dismissed their cases today.
Mr Hallam was arrested after a gang of youths attacked Essayas Kassahun, who died two days later, on October 11 2004.
Mr Hallam, then aged 17, was convicted of Mr Kassahun's murder, conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm and violent disorder.
But in May 2012 – seven years and seven months into his sentence – appeal judges decided all three sentences were unsafe.
They ruled that new evidence, in the form of timed and dated mobile phone photographs, dramatically undermined accusations that Mr Hallam had deliberately concocted a false alibi.
But the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) rejected his application for compensation for miscarriage of justice in August 2014 on the grounds that the phone evidence had been partly, if not wholly, attributable to Mr Hallam himself.
The MoJ also said the new evidence did not show "beyond reasonable doubt that Mr Hallam did not commit the offence".
In the case of Mr Nealon, he was originally convicted of attempted rape on January 22 1997 at Hereford Crown Court and sentenced to life.
His conviction was quashed in December 2013, four years after a DNA test pointed to 'an unknown male' – not Nealon – as being the likely assailant.
Although denied legal aid, he was determined to receive compensation for the 17 wasted years spent in jail and the trauma he continued to suffer.
But in June 2014, the Ministry of Justice rejected his application on the grounds that the DNA analysis "did not show beyond reasonable doubt that the claimant did not commit the offence".

Diamonds are forever, and will always be required where DIY and industrial processes are concerned
And this is mainly why. The gem is one of the strongest mineral resources that are still being extracted from the earth's belly. This is also why the diamond is being utilized extensively across a very wide variety of industrial and manufacturing processes. The use of diamond saw blades remains as popular as ever. Ask any avid DIY practitioner or heavy-scale industrialist who is using these effective tools on a regular or daily basis.
To be quite blunt, diamonds really are forever. It will always be needed where DIY and industrial processes are concerned. These processes mostly entail the need to cut and saw through equally strong materials. Whether it is tipped or simply just bladed, the diamond has no other equivalent. There is no other known mineral resource that can be equally applied to blades, saws and all other cutting instruments that have the powerful diamond as its resource material.
Nothing other than the diamond blade cuts through hard enforcements as sharply and quickly as the diamond saw blade does. Here, the layman's imagination can literally run wild when thinking of all the industrial, manufacturing, design and creative processes that benefit from the use of a diamond saw blade, no matter its make, model, shape, size or weight. Today's implements cater to all crafters and artisans.
Today, the bespoke cabinet maker can use a portable hand-held diamond blade with relative ease. The weight of the machinery does not burden him and he is given more than enough control over his precision cutting as the diamond blade makes contact with its opposing surface, usually wood or metal. The preciseness that these machines allow, ensure that all cutting and sawing exercises are completed optimally to reflect accurate measurements.

it's an internet thing!

British teenager Dwayne Ward is now in critical condition in a hospital in Turkey after he was stabbed at least 12 times on different parts of his body. He was attacked in a holiday resort of Marmaris, Turkey reportedly for kissing a local girl.
Based on the report, the British teenager has been drinking in the resort with his brother Darren, 32. In a police report published by The Sun, Dwayne told the police what happened after he and his brother got separated in the crowd. He said: "I was having fun while I was out and I kissed a Turkish girl at the bar I was in.
"I went to another bar and that was when they hit me in the head with a hard object. I don't remember the rest."
Both the hospital staff and police confirmed that Dwayne had been stabbed at least a dozen times in different parts of his body. He was stabbed twice in the throat and several times in the chest – including a piercing of the heart.
Arrests have been made after CCTV footage reportedly showed two men following him and then grabbing him by his arms before he was dragged into an alley.

Heroines across the country never think twice about pairing up opposite superstar Rajinikanth. Such is the man's star power and charisma that many leading Bollywood heroines are waiting for the day when they would be approached to star as Rajini's heroine in any of his future movies. In this backdrop, Anushka's silence has sent mixed reactions in Kollywood circles.
Anushka was reportedly approached to play Rajini's heroine in his upcoming film titled Kochadaiyan which would be directed by Rajini's youngest daughter Soundarya. Though it has been a few days that the talks are on, surprisingly enough, there has been no 'positive' response at all from Anushka's side which has made the producers of Kochadaiyan turn to the likes of Asin.
Billed as a full-length 3-D film, the film would have story, script and dialogues penned by K.S. Ravikumar who would also be supervising the direction. It's not known whether Asin would replace Anushka or would be starring along side her in the film. Anushka is said to be very busy with her already committed projects in Tamil and Telugu. Irandam Ulagam opposite Arya and Thandavam opposite Vikram are her recently committed Tamil films.
She has also agreed to star opposite Ajith and Karthi in their next films and as such, she doesn't have any dates to spare for Kochadaiyan in the near future. This is the reason behind her silence so far, it is reliably learnt. There is also the possibility that Anushka might choose Rajini over all the other heroes and tell the producers of those films that she would first finish Rajini's film and then start work on their films.
In such a scenario, the producers would surely wait for Anushka.

Olivant, the consortium led by Luqman Arnold, the former Abbey National boss, has been told it will need to pump an additional £200m-£300m of cash into its proposed takeover bid for Northern Rock.
It is understood that the Government, the Bank of England and the Northern Rock board believe that Arnold's plans do not include enough new equity - and could undermine the future financial strength of the bank.
News of the potential complication comes amid mounting concerns that neither Arnold nor Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group, the rival bidder, will be able to pull off a deal ahead of an informal deadline of mid January.
A nationalisation of the bank could force the Government to pay £1.7bn to Northern Rock's shareholders, including Rab Capital and SRM Global, the hedge funds that bought big stakes in the bank after its problems became apparent.
SRM's Jon Wood is understood to have received legal advice indicating that precedents across Europe suggest the Government would need to pay no less than £4.10 a share to nationalise the bank - equivalent to Northern Rock's book value.
It is understood there are also a slew of complications related to the true value of Northern Rock's subordinated bonds.
Meanwhile, Virgin is understood to have lined up two more senior City figures to join its management team, in a bid to answer concerns raised by Northern Rock's advisers about the strength of its management team.
A finance director and treasurer for the bank have both been lined up to work alongside Virgin Money chief executive Jayne-Anne Gadhia, although neither will join the company until a successful bid has been announced.
Goldman Sachs, which has been advising the Treasury, the Financial Services Authority and the Bank of England, has now become the dominant adviser working on the deal.
Goldman has been asked to find new sources of finance, following signs that the original lending consortium of Citigroup, Royal Bank of Scotland and Deutsche Bank may not be willing to put up all of the £15bn funding line that had earlier been promised. Northern Rock's total funding needs stretch to around £30bn.
It is also unclear whether they could provide such large sums of money at a commercially viable rate. It is understood that the three banks are asking for a fee in excess of 1 per cent. The arrangement fees would be paid from the new equity injected into the company.
Arnold is proposing to inject up to £900m of new money into the company, compared with Virgin's promise of £1.1bn plus the existing Virgin Money business.

however, has other options. And with the help of Max Cherry—an honest
but disgruntled bail bondsman looking to get out—she could even end up

When you survey the political landscape and study the multiple polls that have been conducted over the last six months, the uncertainty of the race for the Republican presidential nomination would give any would-be endorser heartburn.
An uncertain field of candidates, combined with a later start to the caucus campaign season, has created a caucus cycle where more people are undecided or soft supporters than we have ever seen. While Iowa caucuses goers have been slow to throw their support behind a candidate, so too have two of the state's most recognizable conservative leaders, Congressman Steve King and Bob Vander Plaats of The FAMiLY Leader.
Before one can even weigh in on whether or not King and Vander Plaats should endorse, one needs to first understand why their endorsements matter in the first place. When it comes to Republican caucus politics, endorsements don't mean much. While every candidate would love to have the endorsement of Governor Branstad or Senator Grassley, their endorsement provides a positive press story for a day or so and little else. Simply put, an endorsement by either of them isn't going to convince any Iowa Republican I know to support a particular candidate.
King and Vander Plaats are different because their endorsement means something. Getting the nod from King is like placing the Good Housekeeping Seal of approval on a candidate. It reassures voters that a particular candidate is undoubtedly conservative and will advance the conservative cause. Vander Plaats represents a group of people who seek purity on social conservative issues. While maybe not huge in number, the passion and dedication of these people can make a huge impact in a caucus contest.
Luke 12:48 – "From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked"
With their position as caucus kingmakers, King and Vander Plaats receive an enormous amount of media attention during the caucus cycle. Beyond that, both have encouraged the candidates to attend their events and sign pledges, which most have gladly done. King has also been given the opportunity to participate in or moderate forums that involved presidential candidates in Iowa and in other states.
There is no problem with King and Vander Plaats making the presidential candidates jump through a series of hoops, but for them to hold out the idea that they will endorse and then ultimately not do so sends a terrible message to future candidates. Iowans up look to King and Vander Plaats as leaders. Their silence would be deafening, especially in their local caucuses. Can you imagine King and Vander Plaats sitting silently in their local caucus while a schoolteacher or librarian stands up to advocate on behalf of his or her candidate? I can't. As Vander Plaats likes to say, "Leaders lead." He needs to follow his own advice, and so should King.
Much has been entrusted to King and Vander Plaats, so, much, much more is required of them, even if it is difficult to do. Sitting out is not an option when you rail on candidates for not participating in you events like Vander Plaats did last month.
It's not about the candidates, it's about the issues and principles for which these leaders have advocated in their lives and in their campaigns.
While the media likes to make endorsements about horserace politics, a candidate's standing in the polls should have absolutely nothing to do with whether or not they are worthy of being endorsed. What kind of message will be sent if candidates like Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann, two candidates who don't have a negative blemish on their records, are not worthy to receive the endorsement of one of Iowa's conservative leaders? It means that a candidate's worldview or core convictions don't matter as much as their current poll numbers do.
Both King and Vander Plaats were never the frontrunners in their own initial campaigns for office, so why can they now judge a candidate's viability based on a metric they would fail to meet themselves? King and Vander Plaats need to recognize that their clout comes from what they believe and fight for, not their win/loss record in supporting candidates.
Four years ago, Congressman King held a major press conference in Des Moines to announce who he would support. This cycle, Bob Vander Plaats has made it abundantly clear that he too is in the endorsement business. While it is always nice to support a candidate who goes all the way or wins the Iowa caucuses, both King and Vander Plaats need to be reminded that their clout in the Republican caucuses does not come from backing candidates who win, but by being steadfast on the issues for which they advocate.
In the end, it's not "should King or Vander Plaats endorse," it's when.
Iowans are privileged to be able to have their voices heard first in telling the rest of the county who should be our next president. All Iowans should embrace the caucus process, especially those of us who personally benefit from them occurring in our home state. We must remember Iowa's role is not to support a candidate we think has the best chance at winning the nomination, but to select a candidate who best represents us.
When you are in the endorsement business, you are inevitably going to make someone unhappy, but people will be equally unhappy if they don't endorse. As is the case in any presidential election, people demand to see leadership from their candidates. They also demand leadership from those among our own ranks who have been the torchbearers for our conservative ideals.
