Top cop Mdluli barred
SUSPENDED crime intelligence boss Richard Mdluli was yesterday interdicted from performing any duties as a police official pending an application to reinstate criminal and disciplinary charges against him.
Judge Ephraim Makgoba granted an urgent interim interdict to Freedom Under Law (FUL) in terms of which the national police commissioner and the minister of police were also interdicted from assigning any function or duty to Mdluli.
This was pending the determination of FUL's application to set aside decisions to withdraw criminal charges ranging from murder and defeating the ends of justice to fraud, corruption and money laundering as well as disciplinary proceedings against Mdluli.
FUL will also seek a court order to force the national director of public prosecutions and head of the Specialised Commercial Crimes Unit to reinstate all criminal charges against Mdluli and the police commissioner to reinstate the disciplinary charges.
Judge Makgoba said it would be unconscionable for Mdluli to continue with his duties with those allegations still looming against him.
He said he could not lose sight of the serious nature of the allegations against Mdluli and the public interest that had been displayed.
"The sooner this saga is brought to an end, the sooner the credibility of the police, security service and the justice system as a whole can be restored," the judge said.
Judge Makgoba said the criminal charges were the product of intensive investigations by an investigative team which compiled a report and affidavits explaining the factual bases of the charges.
Mdluli was suspended for the first time in November last year as a result of the serious criminal charges, but was reinstated in March this year after the charges and disciplinary proceedings were withdrawn.
Mdluli thereafter made serious allegations of conspiracy against other senior members of the police, resulting in Police Minister Nathi Mthethwa announcing in Parliament that Mdluli would be-redeployed pending investigations into the allegations by a ministerial task team.
Acting national Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi thereafter suspended Mdluli again.
Mdluli obtained an order for his reinstatement in the Labour Court in Johannesburg on Friday, but the same court overturned the decision on Sunday.
The matter will be back in the court on June 21.
Mdluli and the police commissioner argued that FUL's application was not urgent as Mdluli had already been suspended, but Judge Makgoba said this argument missed the point of the application.
He said FUL was not seeking an order to suspend Mdluli, but to prevent him from working with the view to preserve the integrity of the investigations into the allegations against him and the functioning of the SAPS.
"It is common cause that Mdluli has been suspended before, also pending disciplinary proceedings and that this suspension was lifted without the disciplinary proceedings being finalised," he said.
The judge said FUL's argument that Mdluli's suspension might be lifted again while questions raised by the application remained unsolved was not far-fetched.
Judge Makgoba stressed that the decisions FUL sought to review impacted on the ability of the police as an organisation to carry out its objectives as set out in the Constitution.
"The public controversy and its effect on the integrity of SAPS and its ability to fulfil the constitutional mandate, coupled with the risk that Mdluli may be permitted to resume his duties, are sufficient to find a reasonable apprehension of irreparable harm," the judge said. - Sapa
Thanks to FUL(Freedom Under Law) and other civic movements, our only shield from this gangsters are the courts, progressive judges will continue to save us and they are not counter-revolutionary as one leader used to say.Report Abuse
Why didn't JZ and Nathi deal with this matter with urgency that it deseved? WE ALL KNOW THE ANSWER.Report Abuse

Over the weekend I was with a supretendent who trained with Mdluli and was so accurate in his prediction and he said Mdluli will be gone given the veidence against him is he is investigated.At least sane prevailed eventually, Zuma, Mthethwa and amny other stupid people from NPA, Hawks, etc did not know what is the right thing to do, now courts have to force them to do the right thing.

After a day of giving thanks, eating turkey, and watching TV with the family, a common impulse is to get out of the house and go shopping. Just kidding! Instead of braving the Black Friday brawls, sit back and relax with even more TV marathons. (That's what Cyber Monday is for, isn't it?) Standouts include complete(-ish) sets of favorite franchises such as Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, and Star Trek, as well as guilty-pleasure reality series like House Hunters International and Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta.

There are more than a handful of sequels and franchise movies that came out amongst tons of hype only to fail or disappoint fans that waited far too long to finally see them. Sometimes, its this anticipation that makes a movie seem less than its sum. We, as lovers of pop culture, have spent far too much time cultivated our own ideas about them. In many instances we have years, even decades, to build the movie for ourself inside our brain. So, of course, more often than not...There's going to be a disconnect. We never return to these movies again. Our tainted memories remain firmly in place. But sometimes, its these bloated expectations that devour us, killing any enjoyment or fun we might otherwise have with any given installment of the latest blockbuster. Sometimes, we just take these things too seriously. And a perfectly decent movie gets lost in that 'expectation translation'. »

Summit Entertainment hasn't had the easiest of roads when it comes to development on its Highlander reboot; we've already seen both director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) and leading man Ryan Reynolds (Turbo) depart the project, but it seems the studio hasn't given up hopes of bringing Connor MacLeod back to the screen with Deadline reporting that Cedric Nicolas-Troyan has signed on to make his feature directorial debut. An Academy Award-nominated VFX supervisor for Snow White and the Huntsman, Nicolas Troyan's other VFX credits include One Hour Photo, The Ring, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, while he's also served as second unit director on Disney's upcoming Maleficent.

For years I've been attempting to write a piece entitled 'Why Jerry Bruckheimer needs to Ditch Disney' but it's never come off. I'm not entirely sure why I never managed to write anything on the subject but now news breaks that Disney and Bruckheimer Films will be parting ways at the end of 2014, it seems like the perfect time to write my reasons for why I think the main man Jerry needs to break free from The Mouse House.
Jerry Bruckheimer and Tony Scott
Disney and Bruckheimer Films first got together back in the 1990s with movies including The Ref, Con Air, Armageddon, Enemy of the State, Gone in 60 Seconds, Coyote Ugly, Pearl Harbor, Bad Company, Veronica Guerin, King Arthur, Confessions of a Shopaholic and Déjà Vu which all fell under the Touchstone Pictures label which is owned by Disney.

It's finally Labor Day Weekend, which means the summer movie going season is officially closed for business starting this Monday. As summer winds down, and we head into September, many movie fans have made one thing very clear. They think this summer has been a complete wash! But is this summer any different than last summer, or the summer before that? How about a decade removed? Did we have bombs as big as The Lone Ranger, R.I.P.D. and After Earth ten years ago? (Yeah, we did, and it was called Gigli.)
We've decided to take a look at how this summer stacks up to a bygone era. Was 2003 a better year for movies? Or did we actually have it pretty good here in 2013 with Iron Man 3, Man of Steel and Elysium (just to name a few of the better one that have played out over the »

I write an article at Movies.com called Film Face-off, where I take two things, and they battle it out. The things could be actors, movies, characters, just about anything. Give it some love, comments, tweets, Facebook affection.
Film Face-off: 'District 9′ vs. 'Elysium'
Is "dirty science fiction" a genre? I guess if Mad Max is science fiction, then yes. DirectorNeill Blomkamp now has two feature films under his belt, and both would fit that category. Blomkamp makes sure we're not just getting aliens, laser guns and spaceships, but also a not-very-subtle political/social slant. Just because something has a message doesn't make it dirty. It's the dirt, the blood, the dust and the evil humans out for their own particular greed. In this week's Film Face-off let's see how District 9 compares to Elysium, and if Blomkamp has suffered a sophomore slump.

While the age of the "movie star" seems to have faded away a bit, Johnny Depp remains one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. The actor prided himself on tackling offbeat and edgy roles early in his career, but ever since his Oscar-nominated turn in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Depp has fronted his fair share of studio pictures and leaves fans in a tizzy whenever he makes a public appearance. However, it appears that Depp doesn't foresee himself acting well into his old age, as he recently revealed that he's "not too far away" from retiring. Hit the jump for more. While speaking to the UK press earlier today (via THR), Depp said that he's "probably not too far away" from quitting acting, going on to note that while he won't be "dropping out any second," he's considering »

What's eating Johnny Depp? His acting career it seems.
The 50-year old "Pirates of the Caribbean" thesp has revealed that he may be close to quitting acting, telling BBC Breakfast that he was "probably not too far away" from his last pic.
Depp, who was in Blighty to promote his latest pic and recent U.S. box office flop "The Lone Ranger," told the Beeb that the acting profession was an "insane option for a human being."
He said: "At a certain point you start thinking. When you add up the amount of dialogue that you say per year and you realize that you've said written words more than you've had a chance to say your own words, you start thinking about that as an insane option for a human being."
Depp went on to say that there were "quieter things" that he would not mind doing. »

If Johnny Depp had given a buzzy, funny, scene-detonating performance in The Lone Ranger that was clearly superior to the rattletrap Western around it, then perhaps the movie's bleak showing at the box office wouldn't count as a strike against him. As it stands, Depp's black-and-white face paint and studiously deadpan acting as Tonto fitted all too snugly into the film's overly fussy, not-entertaining-enough landscape. Depp, surely, will survive the wreckage (yes, Pirates of the Caribbean 5 is on the docket, as is his role as the Wolf in a film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's »

Sequels to awesome films are always a tricky bag. Expectations are set so high and in many cases are simply not achievable. Whether it's the characters, the plot or the effects (often a mix of all three) recapturing that magic from the first film is always going to be a challenge.
Sometimes the story just isn't as strong. Sometimes a recasting of an essential actor or the loss of great character from the first film can be enough. Sometimes it's a lightning in a bottle moment – watching that favourite character is just never as good as the first time. Sometimes it's a new director.
Sometimes a great film should be left alone to bask in its glory.
The biggest problem, as you'll see with a few films on my list, is that franchises become tired and the sequels I discuss bear no resemblance to the »

Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" is getting another chance to transition out of the comic book world and into moving pictures. The comic book series has just received a put pilot order at Fox, which means that a pilot for a possible "League" television series will will be made and, as it is a put pilot order, Fox will be obligated to air the episode even if they don't order the pilot to series. So yeah, Allan Quartermain, Mina Harker and the extraordinary others will all definitely come to life again - this time on the small screen.
The pilot will be produced by 20th Century Fox TV with Michael Green and Erwin Stoff at the helm. Green has previously worked on "Green Lantern," "Heroes," and "Smallville" and will serve as writer and executive producer. Stoff, whose credits include "The Matrix" and the NBC drama "Kings, »

This review was originally published in my weekly column at Towleroad
If Hollywood has its own wild wild west, a mythic frontier to tame, it is undoubtedly a time rather than a place: Next Summer. And the one after that. Release dates famously come before screenplays and the studios start laying down their tracks to get there: concept, screenplay, pre-production, casting, filming, editing, promotion, release though not usually quite in that sensible artistic order. Budgets often balloon on the way to the imagined gold at the end of the line. Or silver, as is the case with the name of a certain iconic horse, and the coveted metal driving the plot and the literal train tracks in the new version of The Lone Ranger.
Hollywood hasn't revived this particular franchise in over 30 years, for what one assumes are three reasons: westerns have been notoriously difficult sells for modern mainstream audiences »

Director Gore Verbinkski and Johnny Depp have now teamed up for the fifth time (the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy and Rango) with The Lone Ranger, which unsurprisingly has a lot in common with Pirates. Technically, both films could survive without Depp's character. With Pirates, a hero tries to save a woman he loves from bad guys. With Lone a hero tries to save a woman from bad guys. But, with both films, it's Depp that we've come to see. I think you know where this is going. It's time for a Film Face-off with The Lone Ranger vs. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Comparing the setting (Pirates vs. Cowboys) would be apples vs. oranges, so instead I've selected five other categories to battle this one out. Johnny Depp...

Over a very busy Fourth of July weekend, Despicable Me 2 had one of the best debuts ever for an animated movie, while The Lone Ranger got off to an underwhelming start. Meanwhile, Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain crushed expectations and did fantastic business for a stand-up movie.For the three-day weekend, the Top 12 earned $221.6 million. That ranks 10th all-time, and is the third weekend in the last four to rank in the Top 15. Through its first five days, Despicable Me 2 earned $143.1 million. That's just ahead of Toy Story 3 ($141 million) for top five-day start ever for an animated movie; while the differing release patterns keeps that from being a true apples-to-apples comparison, it still does give a good idea how immensely popular the sequel was over the holiday weekend. For the three-day period, Despicable Me 2 earned $83.5 million, which is on par with Monsters University's debut a few weeks ago. »

Directed by Gore Verbinski
Written by Justin Haythe & Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio
Sincerity is in dire need of being resurrected in modern popular culture. This is not to say that cynicism doesn't have a place in society, or that naivete should be widely embraced by the masses. But being smug and snarky only takes you so far, as proven by The Lone Ranger, a film that suffers from many problems, not least of which is its embarrassment that it's a story about the Lone Ranger. There is nothing wrong with centering a big-budget tentpole movie around a good, old-fashioned hero, yet The Lone Ranger desperately runs away from such an open, welcoming spirit, headlong into unpleasant, sluggish chaos.
The first mistake of many is that Johnny Depp, who transformed his quirky personality just slightly enough to become a movie star in 2003 as the »

There are some child actors who grow up and become regular people. There are some that grow up to be really messed up individuals. Some were child stars in their own right, and when they were adults they continued to function as big name A-listers.
But what about the ones who were just jobbing child actors? They weren't necessarily huge stars as children, but some of them went from moderate success to major adult stardom.
Because they weren't hyper famous as kids, it's easy to forget that they didn't get into the entertainment business as adults. But a surprising number of actors today actually started working before they were old enough to vote.
Here are some actors who are popular today, but you might not realize that they've been working in Hollywood since they had their baby teeth.

Each week Cinelinx will chose one director for an in-depth examination of the "signatures" that they leave behind in their work. This week, with the release of The Lone Ranger, we examine the trademark style and calling signs of Gore Virbinski as director.
When we consider the abundance of CGI-fueled movies these days, there are certain directors whose work has steered the industry to become what it is today. The films of directors such as J.J. Abrams, David Fincher, Christopher Nolan, and even Zach Snyder have used computer technology to create stylized stories that audiences can't seem to get enough of. Gore Verbinski isn't typically included on this list of new-era heavyweights, but his career has also ridden on the back of CGI. Arguably, Verbinski has taken his involvement with technology one step further than many others by being an active developer and early-adopter of new technologies and methods. »

That Jerry Bruckheimer is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is extraordinary — mostly because he doesn't already have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
"They've been neglecting me for years, what can I say?" quips the producer of "Top Gun," "The Pirates of the Caribbean" movies and such Emmy-monopolizing series as "The Amazing Race." "Actually, it had been offered before and we wanted to wait for the right time, and "The Lone Ranger" is the right time."
The fact that Bruckheimer would synchronize both his kemo sabe moment with postcard Hollywood and a plug for his latest project, which stars Armie Hammer in the title role and Johnny Depp as his sidekick Tonto, reveals the kind of promotional instinct that has governed his four-decade career in film and television, and made him that rare animal: the branded producer.
There have been others, of course: David O. Selznick. »

LEXINGTON – Notes and quotes from University of Kentucky football as the Wildcats prepare for their season opener Saturday at Louisville (3:30 p.m. on ABC regional TV)...
Joker Phillips claims he's relaxed, heading into his first game in his dream job – the head football coach at Kentucky – as his Wildcats prepare to face arguably their biggest rival, the Louisville Cardinals, Saturday at newly-expanded Papa John's Stadium.
But the 47-year-old Phillips, who grew up in this state and played for UK from 1981-84, admits his emotions might not stay that way.
"My thoughts are similar to the other seasons that I've started," said Phillips, who has been an assistant coach under Rich Brooks in recent years. "But I'm sure maybe Saturday morning I'll be hugging the toilet somewhere. I don't know (laughs).
It's just one of those deals that I've been as relaxed as I've ever been. But Saturday, who knows?
"The thing that I know that I have to be is have the emotions under control," he added. "Because there are a lot of decisions throughout the game that you have to make, so you have to have your emotions under control."
Phillips was offensive coordinator under Brooks for several seasons and drew a lot of mixed reactions from the UK fan base.
In 2007, when Brooks, Phillips and company had their best Wildcat team, the offense was wide open and scored at will against a lot of opponents. The past two years, when Kentucky did not have the quality or depth of offensive firepower it had in '07, Phillips was occasionally criticized for being too conservative in his play calling.
Phillips said Monday that the play-calling hat will be shared on several shoulders this time around, with former quarterbacks coach Randy Sanders the lead dog, er, cat.
"Randy will call the plays from the (press) box," Phillips said. "I'll listen. We all will have input. I expect (defensive coordinator) Steve Brown to have input on offense, too. He's got to tell us what's going on if he sees something.
"We can't waste any eyes."
Can Cats attack?
Louisville's Cardinals also have a much-hyped new head coach in Charlie Strong. Much has been written about the close relationship between Phillips and Strong, who once coached together under Lou Holtz at South Carolina and have been friends for years.
But while Strong is billed as a coach who likes to attack, based on his years as defensive coordinator at Florida, less is certain about Phillips.
Joker was asked to describe his style on Monday.
"I like to attack," Phillips said. "I did it in 2007. I don't know if people would classify me as that in 2008 and '09. But I want to be aggressive, get the ball down the field. In 2007 our average scoring drive was two minutes. That's attacking to me. But the last two years we haven't been able to do that."
Does Phillips feel the Wildcats are closer to being able to do that in 2010?
"I think we're closer, I really do," he said. "I think we're closer than we were in '08 and '09. I think the reason why is we're more experienced at the positions outside, and more experienced at the quarterback position also. Everybody knows how I feel about this offensive line's ability to protect and run the ball. I think those guys have done an amazing job in knowing where they're supposed to be and being physical and nasty."
One would guess based on that comment – and the appearance that Kentucky has more depth than Louisville – that the Wildcats will be conservative in Saturday's opener. But, not so fast, says junior jack-of-all-trades Randall Cobb of Kentucky, who may not only be the best player at UK but maybe in the country.
"I think our offense will be different for the most part for the fact that we can throw the ball downfield," said Cobb, who's expected to see time at wide receiver, quarterback, punt return and kickoff return. "We have guys who have developed at receiver, and we know we can run the ball. So I think we'll be able to throw the ball to open up the running game. We'll throw more 30- to 40-yard stuff, some stuff across the middle...a lot of combinations we have put in just to stretch the field.
"I think fans will be surprised," Cobb added. "It's so much more developed from the past two seasons."
Momentum at stake
There is a boatload of incentive for each team to win Saturday, with pride, bragging rights in recruiting, loyalty to the new coaches and simply momentum gained from a win that can carry either team a long way. Still, I don't believe this game is as critical to the long-term success for this season as it has been in the past when the loser of UK-U of L was pretty much doomed to no postseason bowl.
Why? Because U of L is in the Big East, which shouldn't be as strong this year as last, and UK's Southeastern Conference slate, while always formidable, is relatively light. The Kentucky schedule is missing names like Alabama, LSU and Arkansas.
Still, Phillips is right when he says a win Saturday is critical to either team's hopes for a GREAT season.
"If either team is going to have a great year, it's important to get this one," Phillips said. "I would say momentum is the biggest thing that can come out of this game. I don't think either team can have a great year without this because I think we both need the momentum."
Kentucky follows the opener with sure wins at home against Akron and Western Kentucky, followed by a sure-loss road tilt at Florida. If Louisville pulls the upset Saturday, the Cardinals could start as high as 5-0 and likely no worse than 4-1. The Cardinals' immediate slate after UK is Eastern Kentucky at home, a likely loss at Oregon State on Sept. 16, a road tilt at Arkansas State and a home game with Memphis.

Maybe the clearest explanation of teaching by example can be found in the book of Hebrews: "Remember your leaders, those who spoke the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith" (Heb. 13:7). The author of Hebrews actually called us to consider - literally, "to examine carefully" - the outcome of a teacher's lifestyle. We can get so caught up in examining a person's doctrinal positions that we overlook his or her pattern of life. But this is essential because Hebrews calls us to imitate the faith of these people. If you are going to make disciples, you need to be putting your faith into practice so that the people around you can imitate your faith.
I have always said I would not be a "do as I say not as I do" parent. I haven't found this to be a terribly difficult task up to this point, primarily because the things I have asked of my younger children have been very basic and foundational Christian priciples that even non-Christian parents teach and keep to. However, this has become a more challenging task as I try to lead my children closer to adulthood and the activities that accompany that role - driving in particular. I do not want my children driving the way I do. It's just that simple. I don't want them to talk on the phone, mess with the radio or even drive without both hands on the wheel, at 10 and 2. I don't think I am a bad driver, I just have developed some habits that are not consistent with the defensive-driver techniques I want my kids to develop. I have made an honest effort to change, but it is really hard. These are habits years in the making and it will take me a little bit of time to break them. My kids know I am working on this and we talk all the time in the car about safe driving (and they are quick to point out when I deviate from said practices). I am hoping that my efforts towards driving redemption have an impact of them, as they see me at least trying to be consistent with my teaching. I am definitely not there yet, but I am trying to work out this area of practical faith and discipleship in my life. I am sure as my children continue to grow they will expose other areas of my life that are not always in line with what I teach and I hope they will in love challenge me to walk in a way that would encourage them to imitate me. I want to live of "pattern of life" that makes both me and my kids pleasing to God.

Given that my 2561 card has "ETSI" stamped on its label, one would think it's the card's job to report to the driver what it supports. If the driver doesn't request this, the safest bet is the lowest common denominator that should be legal everywhere, 11 channels at FCC spec. Got it. Just a quick question, if I may: Are the maxpower specs of regdomain.xml in dBm? ETSI is max 20dBm ERP at 2.4GHz. Euro spec cards are only capable of ~100mW anyway, most more like 60mW and your average foot of RG-174 will knock nearly a dB off at 2.4GHz, so it hardly matters, but I'm curious. The manpage doesn't specify what the fields mean. > You can hack ral to setup a proper channel list at attach or you can > make a private hack to net80211 to populate the channel list w/ those > channels you want. Either is simple. Thank you. I'll probably try the local hack for now, but hacking ral (and probably iwi now I finally have that working, which does exactly the same thing) to do the right thing would be a better long-term solution. To the list: Does anyone have any idea why the iwi firmware modules build by default on i386 and not on amd64? I know from experience that manually building them on 7.1 amd64 didn't work, but it now works well on 8 except for the messages about mcast/promisc update separation. -- Matt Dawson MTD15-RIPE

Nolan Rallies Community To Protest Prostitution In LIC
Nolan Rallies Community To Protest Prostitution In LIC
By Seth Wharton
Photo Seth Warton Assemblymember Catherine Nolan, flanked by Community Board 2 Chairperson Joseph Conley (l.) and City Councilmember Eric Gioia, led a rally calling for closing the Q-Plaza Motel on Sunday.
State, city and community officials converged on the Q-Plaza Motel in Long Island City on Sunday, January 27 to protest the pimps and prostitutes that frequent the hotel and often do business on surrounding streets. The hotel, located at 42-11 Vernon Blvd., has created an increase in quality of life crimes, according to state Assemblymember Catherine Nolan, who organized the protest/press conference on behalf of her constituents in the Ravenswood and Queensbridge communities. "We are fed up with the growing problem of prostitutes in Long Island City," Nolan said.
Nolan was joined by City Councilmember Eric Gioia, Community Board 2 Chairman Joseph Conley and a throng of residents and community members, who decried the conditions of the area around the hotel.
"When I walk my dogs in the morning I find used condoms," said Gabriela Granados, who with her husband is opening a dance studio on 9th Street, behind the hotel. "I have the right in the morning to walk my dogs without being stalked by men who are looking for (prostitution) services."
The protest came on the heels of a visit last week to Queens Plaza by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and other city officials. "I don't think they would have come here a week ago if they didn't know Long Island City has some problems," Nolan said, adding that the protest was an effort to put a point on the growing interest in cleaning up the area. Gioia added that the area is ready for a rebirth.
Prior to the rally, Conley explained that the hotel, which had been closed down in 1998 after repeated efforts by police and the community, was able to reopen under a flaw in zoning. The hotel is situated directly south of the Queensboro Bridge; to the immediate north of the bridge are the Queensbridge and Ravenswood developments and much of the remaining area is industrial.
"It's an example of poor planning," Conley said, explaining that the hotel is allowed to exist in that spot because it's zoned residential when everything around it is industrial. The hotel is an anomaly in the area. "You don't see a national chain coming here," Conley said of the site. "You don't see a brand name here." The hotel was most recently a cinder block parking garage before being reopened as a hotel.
The problem with the zoning issue is that it's an as of right situation, Conley explained, meaning that because the lot is zoned residential, and can accommodate a hotel, there is nothing to be done short of changing the zoning. There are also issues of ownership to contend with, according to Gioia. "They have reopened this hotel under some sort of corporate shell," he said. Identifying the true owner has been difficult. The worst problems for residents of the surrounding communities are brought about by the hotel, it was noted. "We have a park approximately a half a block away and children use that park," said Clifton Broady, president of the Ravenswood Residents Association, referring to Queensbridge Park, just north of the bridge. The quality of clientele the hotel attracts was perhaps best summed up by Eddy Cadiz, a community resident, "If you start charging a hourly rate, what does that tell you?" he asked rhetorically, pointing out that the hotel by its short-term use has no other function than as a center of prostitution activities.

Fight all you want, just keep your hockey helmets on
Oh, this makes sense. I see the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) has ruled hockey players involved in fights must keep their helmets on, with chin straps done up, or face misconduct penalties.
Say what?
I'm far from the first hockey fan to point out the lunacy of this approach. What about banning fighting. I mean, for real, with serious enforcement. I'm tired of hearing all that blather about the game not being the same without the blood-letting. It's the Canadian way, yada, yada.
Didn't we just watch outstanding hockey in the World Juniors without fighting?
* * *
(Today is end-of-the-week, no visuals odds and sods day. Bet you'd figured that out.)
- It's refreshing to see the word "hero" properly applied for a change. It's become a hackneyed term in our society - okay, with the media being the biggest collective culprit. Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, the pilot who eased US Airways flight 1594 into a crash landing on the Hudson River yesterday - without losing any of the 155 souls on board - deserves the term. His co-pilot Jeff Skiles didn't do too badly either. I'd want to see either in the cockpit of a plane I'm on.
- Still reeling from that incident before Christmas when passengers sat in an Air Canada plane on the runway in Vancouver for 12 hours. Correcto,12 hours. It's too early to see what the fallout will be (a class action suit perhaps?), but if you are going to treat people so cavalierly in any country, doncha thinks Canadians would rank pretty high on the "we can get away with it" list?
Hinterland Who's Who: Canucks are a polite and docile folk (except when playing hockey; see above) who live in northern climes and enjoy square dancing and sugar pie.

OH, TOM DALEY, where did it go so wrong? Two-times successful Olympian, a more accomplished diver than even Robin van Persie, and a heart-throb to millions of teenage girls across the world.
OH, TOM DALEY, where did it go so wrong? Two-times successful Olympian, a more accomplished diver than even Robin van Persie, and a heart-throb to millions of teenage girls across the world.
So how on earth did you end up on Splash? (ITV1, Saturday, 6.30pm).
Maybe the idea was pitched to him differently. Maybe someone, somewhere at ITV managed to make it sound much better than it really is:
"It works like this Tom. We'll get some A-list celebrities – yes, they will be A-list Tom – and you'll teach them how to dive. We'll get a big name reality TV show presenter – or maybe her husband, who might
be short of work after dropping his job at Radio 1 – to host it and some great judges. What Jo Brand doesn't know about diving isn't worth knowing."
And so Tom signs up for what is already being panned everywhere as the worst scraping the barrel example of reality TV going. A bellyflop of a programme, if you like.
It works like this: Those A-list celebrities are actually comedians you might not have heard of, who appear to have spent a couple of weeks learning to dive with Daley. The presenters are Tess Daley's husband Vernon Kay – who has already used his gag "I love a Daley" when handing over from Tom – and Gabby Logan, arguably the saviour of the show.
Logan took to Twitter on Saturday night to thank people for what she called the "feedback" – what I'd call universal condemnation – and to remind people it's just meant to be a bit of fun.
Of course it is, but for reality TV to work, we need to be able to understand what the celebrity contestants are going through before we can buy into what they're doing. So diving off a five-metre diving board isn't my idea of fun, but it also isn't eating kangeroo testicles in the jungle either, is it?
On Splash, we got the briefest of background stories – a fleeting mention of one Sugababe being scared of water, and of a Benidorm actor cracking his nose on a diving board – before the long, dragged out process of the "star" walking to the board began.
With the flashing lights and loud music, it felt more Bullseye-by-the-pool rather than Strictly-in-the-air.
In an age where a would-be singer having a cough can become front page news and prompt a five-minute video before their performance, it seemed random that such "real" drama in Splash was pushed to one side in favour of more inane, diving board chat with Kay.
And why are all the blokes dressed in shorts? It's set at an indoor pool, not a Miami lido.
There's so much about it which could be better. The naff cartoon splash graphic between each shot irritated after about five minutes, the random shot of a girl holding up an ipad with "Team Daley" written on it grated, and Daley himself praising everyone for a wonderful dive when it blatantly wasn't was downright annoying.
Logan's right – it is just meant to be a bit of fun. But at who's expense? Because I'm not sure who the joke's on at the moment – those taking part or the gullible 8.5 million who watched it.
What I'll be watching next week: Bad Santas (C4, 9pm, Monday): Following a group of unemployed men who enrol at Santa School.

The Honduran government has officially announced the launch of a truth commission to investigate the military overthrow last year of then-President Manuel Zelaya. The commission includes Guatemalan former vice president Eduardo Stein, Canadian diplomat Michael Kergin, and Julieta Castellanos, head of the National Autonomous University of Honduras, and was a key campaign promise of current President Porfirio Lobo.
The government's hope is that the commission will help restore the country's international standing and allow it to move beyond last year's events. President Lobo says the commission, "exemplifies our resolve to heal wounds, learn from our mistakes and build together the future of this country."
There is support for the initiative at the UN and U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Arturo Valenzuela, said in El Salvador today that Lobo's government had now taken the "necessary steps" to return to the international community. Critics contend the commissions findings will be biased and will not report abuses committed by government troops during and after the coup.
The commission will deliver its findings in 6 to 8 months, according to reports.
President Porfirio Lobo arrived early this week on his first visit to the United States since he won Honduras' presidential elections in November 2009. On Tuesday, he spoke at the University of Miami, which followed earlier stops in New Orleans to meet with business leaders and build relationships with local universities.
High on the president's foreign policy agenda are the reinstatement of Honduras in the Organization of American States (OAS) and greater diplomatic recognition of his administration's legitimacy by other Latin American countries. He is also preparing for the start next week of a truth commission, which will investigate events surrounding the 2009 coup that ousted former President Manuel Zelaya.
Reports surfaced Monday that President Barack Obama had for the first time phoned President Lobo to discuss the situation in Honduras. President Obama commended Mr. Lobo for his "leadership in his first months in office in promoting national reconciliation and restoring democratic and constitutional order in Honduras," according to a White House statement. Mr. Lobo's message to his U.S. audiences: ``My duty and my mandate are clear: to unite my people. And I will do it,'' Lobo says, ``I will get everybody who was fighting in 2009 to hug. They will. It's important for them to reconcile.''

WikiLeaks: A Fascinating View into Modern History
The answers to these, and other questions, may be too complex to be answered with simple legal or economic analysis. As much as models and rules help to explain the world, some things are too morally and socially complex to have simple answers.
However, despite debate over the appropriateness of posting some of the most secret communications of governments, once the information is public, it does undeniably provide some amazing materials for the historians, news junkies and just plain curious among us. The New York Times outlines some of the juiciest details of the latest round of leaks, which can rightfully claim to rival the plots of any bestselling spy novel or political thriller, here.

I believe what Assange did in this case is, if not a crime under certain jurisdictions, definitely a first class moral breakdown.
Disclosing evidence that authorities are involved in illegal activities is a good thing.
Documents showing that proof for a war was falsificated is necessary.
Disclosing internal letters to the public, letters containing nothing more than personal assesments of third persons, is a crime. The letters were written under the assumption, as most letters are, that only the recipient will read it. You cannot blame the writer then for violating rules of international diplomacy, since he never intended the letter to be accesable for third persons. In other words never intendend to make the letter part of the game called diplomacy.
In other words, all the writers celebrating the moral desaster for US diplomacy should think again: Isn't the real moral desaster that nowadays confidential letters - again: LEGAL activities - are disclosed without hesitation?
Would any of the writers all over the world appreciate it when their personal assesments of other persons would be disclosed?
If everything would be handled so openely, every single relationship between people could easily be destroyed. We don't always want to know what other people really think about us.

The Blue Tree cd covers
Phase Out This psychedelic and maddening piece of sound and noise was originally composed as an instrumental song, with a clear intention of piercing the listeners' ears. | ||
The Closer I Get To You (The Less I Know About You) My bandmate composed this melancholic tune, characterized by its denseness and its homogeneous structure, that goes on and on over 10 minutes. |
Sympathy For The Music A fresh introductory piece is always a good opening for a gig. The progressive character of the song is ideal to warm up the audience. |
Hot Chocolate (Back To Berlin) A cold trip to some german cities was the inspiration base for this tune, in which bright pink telephones get involved. |
Untitled (Sin Título) This song is an emotional expression with romantic hints, so abstract that can't be titled. Therefore, the visual representation gives no formal references to the listener, except what could be interpreted as an horizon line. |

Ex-Arizona legislator files lawsuit against Phoenix
Published: December 20, 2012 at 8:59 am
A former state senator who resigned in January over a domestic violence incident involving his ex-girlfriend has filed a lawsuit against Phoenix.
Scott Bundgaard alleges that city employees conspired to falsely portray him as an abuser rather than a victim in a February 2011 fight on a north Phoenix freeway.
The Arizona Republic reports that Bundgaard is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.
He filed a $10 million notice of claim against Phoenix police and city officials in June. That's a precursor to a lawsuit.
The Peoria Republican stepped down before he had to testify to a Senate Ethics Committee that would decide whether he should be disciplined over the incident.
Phoenix spokeswoman Toni Maccarone says the city hasn't received a copy of Bundgaard's suit yet and declines comment.

One Response to "Ex-Arizona legislator files lawsuit against Phoenix"
Concerned Citizen Says:
December 20th, 2012 at 1:59 pmMr. Bungaard, We, the taxpayers and public, see you very clearly for who you are. You appear to be following the long tradition of those we elect who sue your political enemies, make attorneys obscenely rich, as well as your friends — all at taxpayers expense. No money left for the people for their education, health care, job training, growing small businesses and strong communities. So you get destroyed, now you'll destroy everyone in your path using the broken legal system as your weapon for destruction? You self-destructed yourself like others in your peer-group who claim to be "victims". Really?

Prop J is a very complicated financial matter. From the polls which I have seen, voters have been mislead to believe that Prop J will reduce traffic congestion. It will not. After the voters previously voted the extra tax for the Subway to the Sea and we built the Hollywood Subway, the facts surfaced. even if the entire Subway to the Sea were constructed it would reduce traffic congestion by 1%.
Rather than revitalize Hollywood, the US Census data from 2000 to 2010 show that the Subway and the CRA projects actually drove people out of Hollywood and the ridership is far far lower than projected.
The combination of subways and Transit Oriented Districts [TOD's] is a very old scam. One Hundred years ago, Angelenos were warned against these scheme which would make a few landowners wealthy while everyone else paid the price. The mathematics of subways and the geography of Los Angeles have not changed in the last 100 years. When engineers rather than corrupt politicos wrote Planning documents, the inherent financial folly of subways was carefully examined in the 1915 Los Angeles Traffic Study. http://bit.ly/cJh5BP
Also, the politicos plan to immediately borrow against all these future taxes. As a result when citizens realize in ten years, that the subways are a flop and they are being held hostage by subway Union, the public will have no way to halt the construction. All the future taxes will have been pledged in favor of the construction which the real estate developers want to do right now.
As a result, Angelenos will be paying until 2069 for money spend in 2014 -- that means if we decide in 2022 that LA needs to join the modern world with 21st Century telecommunications, all of our future tax money will have already been given to Eli Broad and his ilk. We are investing billions of dollars in antiquated 19th century cho-cho tains, while the rest of the world is adopting TelePresence. American do not realize that while we keep getting fancier little devices, our Internet System itself is horribly outdated -- last I saw, I think Solvenia had a more modern Internet system that America.

Platelet Adhesive Dynamics. Part I: Characterization of Platelet Hydrodynamic Collisions and Wall Effects Biophysical Journal, Volume 95, Issue 5, 1 September 2008, Pages 2539-2555 Nipa A. Mody and Michael R. King Abstract Abnormally high shear stresses encountered in vivo induce spontaneous activation of blood platelets and formation of aggregates, even in the absence of vascular injury. A three-dimensional multiscale computational model—platelet adhesive dynamics—is developed and applied in Part I and Part II articles to elucidate key biophysical aspects of GPIbα-von-Willebrand-factor-mediated interplatelet binding that characterizes the onset of shear-induced platelet aggregation. In this article, the hydrodynamic effects of the oblate spheroidal shape of platelets and proximity of a plane wall on the nature of cell-cell collisions are systematically investigated. Physical quantities characterizing the adhesion probabilities between colliding platelet surfaces for the entire range of near-wall encounters between two platelets are obtained for application in platelet adhesive dynamics simulations of platelet aggregation explored in a companion article. The technique for matching simulation predictions of interplatelet binding efficiency to experimentally determined efficiencies is also described. Platelet collision behavior is found to be strikingly different from that of spheres, both close to and far from a bounding wall. Our results convey the significant effects that particle shape and presence of a bounding wall have on the particle trajectories and collision mechanisms, collision characteristics such as collision time and contact area, and collision frequency.

Diffusion-Collision Model Study of Misfolding in aFour-Helix Bundle Protein Biophysical Journal, Volume 81, Issue 6, 1 December 2001, Pages 3105-3115 Chris Beck, Xavier Siemens and David L. Weaver Abstract Proteins with complex folding kinetics will be susceptible to misfolding at some stage in the folding process. We simulate this problem by using the diffusion-collision model to study non-native kinetic intermediate misfolding in a four-helix bundle protein. We find a limit on the size of the pairwise hydrophobic area loss in non-native intermediates, such that burying above this limit creates long-lasting non-native kinetic intermediates that would disrupt folding and prevent formation of the native state. Our study of misfolding suggests a method for limiting the production of misfolded kinetic intermediates for helical proteins and could, perhaps, lead to more efficient production of proteins in bulk.

Ab Initio Folding of Proteins with All-Atom Discrete Molecular Dynamics Structure, Volume 16, Issue 7, 9 July 2008, Pages 1010-1018 Feng Ding, Douglas Tsao, Huifen Nie and Nikolay V. Dokholyan Summary Discrete molecular dynamics (DMD) is a rapid sampling method used in protein folding and aggregation studies. Until now, DMD was used to perform simulations of simplified protein models in conjunction with structure-based force fields. Here, we develop an all-atom protein model and a transferable force field featuring packing, solvation, and environment-dependent hydrogen bond interactions. We performed folding simulations of six small proteins (20-60 residues) with distinct native structures by the replica exchange method. In all cases, native or near-native states were reached in simulations. For three small proteins, multiple folding transitions are observed, and the computationally characterized thermodynamics are in qualitative agreement with experiments. The predictive power of all-atom DMD highlights the importance of environment-dependent hydrogen bond interactions in modeling protein folding. The developed approach can be used for accurate and rapid sampling of conformational spaces of proteins and protein-protein complexes and applied to protein engineering and design of protein-protein interactions.

A folding algorithm is described, based on the diffusion-collision model, combining static and dynamic calculational methods. The algorithm is applied to predict the basic structure and schematic folding pathways of an artificial four-helix bundle.

We can't say it enough: children represent the future of the Riverbend area. That's why Liberty Bank is dedicated to helping parents prepare for their children's education. We believe strongly in education, and our Educational IRA is just one more way for you to begin saving for college. Invest in an IRA with fixed term interest rates, variable interest rates, or money market rates.
It's easy to get started with as little as $100 up to $2000 per year. (This amount is in addition to contributions made to either Roth or Traditional IRA's.)
Educational IRA's were established in 1998 to assist in saving for and meeting some of the expenses of higher education for children under age 18.
Nondeductible contributions of up to $2000 may be made to each child's account annually. (Contributions to an Education IRA are not allowed if a contribution is made by anyone to a qualified state tuition program on behalf of the same child in the same year.)
The contribution limit is phased out for contributors who have adjusted gross income (AGI) of $95,000 - $110,000 for singles and $220,000 for married couples filing jointly.
Education IRA withdrawals used to pay for qualified elementary, secondary, and higher education expenses, such as college tuition and fees, are generally tax-free and not subject to a 10% IRS penalty for early withdrawal.
Educational IRAs may be right for you if:
What if the child receives a scholarship or does not go to college? You may elect a tax-free rollover from one student's Education IRA to that of another family member. (Rollovers do not affect the annual contribution limit.)
Funds in an Education IRA must be distributed, or to another family member's Education IRA, by the time the designated student reaches age 30. If the funds are not used for qualified education expenses, withdrawals are generally taxable and may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty.
