MYTH: It Doesn't Matter Where You Sit

"One seat is as safe as the other." -Boeing Web site

"It's an age-old question. There's just no way to say." -Federal Aviation Administration spokesman

"There is no safest seat." -airsafe.com

REALITY: It's Safer In the Back.

The funny thing about all those expert opinions: They're not really based on hard data about actual airline accidents. A look at real-world crash stats, however, suggests that the farther back you sit, the better your odds of survival. Passengers near the tail of a plane are about 40 percent more likely to survive a crash than those in the first few rows up front.

That's the conclusion of an exclusive Popular Mechanics study that examined every commercial jet crash in the United States, since 1971, that had both fatalities and survivors. The raw data from these 20 accidents has been languishing for decades in National Transportation Safety Board files, waiting to be analyzed by anyone curious enough to look and willing to do the statistical drudgework.

ORLANDO, Fla. The Florida mother charged in the killing of her toddler daughter described herself as a victim when talking to her parents during a jailhouse visit last August. Casey Anthony, 22, told her parents she was just as much a victim as anyone else in the case during the recorded visit at the Orange County Jail in Orlando. Copies of the visit were released this week.

At the time, Casey was in jail on charges related to the disappearance of her daughter Caylee. She was charged with first-degree murder in October.

In the video, Casey Anthony cried and got angry when pressed by her parents for information about Caylee's whereabouts. She even threatened to end the conversation.

"This is seriously the first time I've been angry, that I've been frustrated to the point where I can't even think straight at this moment," Casey Anthony said. "The worst part is nobody can see my side and I have to keep my mouth shut."

Caylee's remains were found in December by a meter reader in woods near where Caylee lived with her mother and grandparents. Four months earlier, meter reader Roy Kronk had made three phone calls to the Orange County Sheriff's Office about his suspicions that remains were in a bag he had spotted in those woods.

A sheriff's deputy responded to the woods but didn't see a need to investigate further. That deputy was removed from patrol duty this week pending an investigation into his response.

A former attorney for Casey Anthony's parents, George and Cindy Anthony, rewarded Kronk Friday with $5,000 for finding the remains. The attorney, Mark NeJame, said he had received $5,000 for his work on the case and felt it was right to give the money to Kronk.

Circuit City became the largest retailer to fall victim to the expanding financial crisis Friday, announcing it will shut down its remaining 567 U.S. stores at the cost of 34,000 more jobs after failing to sell the business.

The closure of the nation's second-biggest consumer electronics retailer spells more trouble for the nations malls, and is the latest casualty of an unprecedented pullback in consumer spending that has claimed KB Toys, Mervyns LLC and Linens 'N Things.

"Very, very sad," said Alan L. Wurtzel, son of company founder Samuel S. Wurtzel and himself a former chief executive of Circuit City. "I feel particularly badly for the people who are employed or until recently were employed."

Richmond, Va.-based Circuit City had been seeking a buyer or a deal to refinance its debt, but the hobbled credit market and consumer worries proved insurmountable. Negotiations for an acquisition extended past midnight Thursday before finally falling through, Circuit City lawyer Gregg Galardi said.

Two potential buyers Mexican billionaire Ricardo Salinas Pliego, who controls a chain of electronics stores in Latin America, and the Golden Gate Capital private equity firm considered a shrunken form of the business, retaining as many 350 stores or as few as 180. But Circuit City couldn't secure the necessary financing or support from vendors.

"This is the only possible path for our company," acting Chief Executive James A. Marcum said in a statement. "We are extremely disappointed by this outcome."

KETCHUM, Idaho Police said a 52-year-old Ketchum woman is facing misdemeanor battery charges for whacking an opposing player with a hockey stick during a no-contact hockey game. Sun Valley police said they issued a misdemeanor battery citation to the woman earlier this week.

Assistant Police Chief Mike Crawford said the woman broke her stick over the leg of a male player on the opposing team who was lying on the ice at the time his leg was struck.

Crawford said the department normally doesn't get involved in on-ice altercations, but he said witnesses described the episode as excessive for a friendly hockey game.

Police began looking into the case after being notified by the victim after the game.

The woman was scheduled to appear in Blaine County Magistrate Court Feb. 2.

THIS is the harrowing picture of a cupboard in which a two-year-old toddler was allegedly locked up for being naughty even though she was afraid of the dark. Zahbeena Navsarka, 21, and her partner Subhan Anwar, 21, are on trial accused of murdering Navsarka's daughter Sanam. A witness today told their trial how the couple went boozing with friends while the infant was left home alone less than a fortnight before her death. Giving evidence against the accused couple at Bradford Crown Court, West Yorks, neighbour Rosie McGlade told how Navsarka and Anwar were scolded by a friend of hers for partying while neglecting the toddler. Mum-of-one Rosie, 21, who lived next to the couple in Huddersfield, West Yorks, told how she had seen scratches and bruises on the tot. 'Locked up' ... little Sanam The young mother, who gave mouth-to-mouth to Sanam when she died on May 8, also told the jury how Anwar locked her in a dark cupboard as punishment for misbehaving and called her a little b*****d. Under questioning by prosecuting QC Julian Goose, Rosie told of the night Navsarka and Anwar known to her as Subbi left the child alone while they went drinking next door. The party, the court heard, was less than two weeks before Sanam died from fats entering her *lo**stream caused by untreated fractures to her thigh bones. Injuries Brunette Rosie said: We had drinks with them the day after Subbi had his birthday. We started with a little drink at their house and then we went round to ours. "They left and put Sanam to bed and they came back round to carry on the party. The court heard another party-goer, named as Lisa, got concerned when she learned the couple had left Sanam alone while they continued their fun. Lisa told them to go back, said Rosie. They went and brought Sanam back to the party. I dont know what they did with her then. A post-mortem examination after Sanams death found 107 injuries on her little body including several bruises and fractures to all four of her limbs. The court previously heard how all the breakages happened between two and four weeks before she died and the parents did not seek any medical attention. On the night of her death the couple told doctors and police that Sanam had drowned in the bath after Anwar left her playing alone in water up to her armpits. A pathologist established the cause of death as Fat Embolism Syndrome fatty deposits from broken bones entering the *lo**stream. Navsarka and Anwar deny murder and also face an alternative charge of failing to protect the child. The trial continues. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article2140611.ece

Think of a weightlifter and the image that comes to mind is of a musclebound hulk with thighs like treetrunks.

Think again.

Petite 14-year-old Zoe Smith has staked her claim to be the strongest girl in Britain after lifting almost two-thirds more than her bodyweight.

The 5ft 2in schoolgirl, who weighs 9 stone, managed to hoist aloft an astonishing 95kg, or 15 stone, in one 'clean and jerk' event.

Zoe, from Abbey Wood, South- East London, was named one of the British Olympic Association's Athletes of the Year for 2008 after she took gold at the Commonwealth Youth Games in India.

She set a world record for her age and bodyweight by lifting a total of 159kg, or 25 stone, in three events.

Her astonishing power has seen her tipped as a star for the London Olympics in 2012.

Winning the BOA's Athlete of the Year award for her sport puts her in an elite group alongside Olympic champions such as Chris Hoy, the triple gold medal-winning cyclist.

'Seeing my name on a list as an equal alongside all the big names from last year's Olympics was unbelievable,' she said.

'At first I thought there might have been some mistake and was a bit nervous about telling anyone, so I was amazingly happy when it sunk in that it was true.'

Like many teenagers, Zoe has her own Bebo web page where she lists her likes (chocolates, staying up all night, international competitions) and dislikes (prawns, scary movies, losing).

She attends Townley Grammar School in Bexleyheath and is studying for GCSEs in maths, English, French, science, art and PE.

A former gymnast, Zoe started weightlifting at the age of 12 when she was asked to make up the numbers in a team. She said: 'From my first session, my coach Andy Callard said he could tell I had the natural talent and strength to do well.' He was right. Zoe set an amazing 98 British records in 2008.

Of her 2012 ambitions she said: 'Just being selected would be a dream come true and of course the ultimate aim for anyone would be to win the gold medal, me included.'

Looks like some more dirt bud just popped up in a Texas home unannounced:

UPS delivers, but not always to the right address, a Denton man discovered Monday when he found a lot of green inside a package dropped on his porch by the men in brown. The man took the package to Denton police later that night, police spokesman Officer Ryan Grelle said. It contained a 30-pound brick of compressed marijuana with a street value of $10,500.

A brick of 30# in decent dank should bring in more than double $10,000. (From what we hear, of course.)

And you thought that billion dollar bust in Arizona last month was the end of Mexican dirt weed

Johnny Knoxville is a self-confessed jackass -- but says even he wouldn't knowingly bring a grenade into an airport.

In a statement on his website, Johnny says the wardrobe gal from a commercial shoot a few days back actually packed a "prop grenade" in his bag -- and he never knew it was there.

Law enforcement tells us Knoxville gave them the same story at LAX yesterday when he was stopped and cited for carrying a real grenade sans ammo.

Knoxville writes "Ah f**k was I bummed when I realized what had happened... They [the cops] were cool as they could be to me, considering the situation, and it is no one's fault but my own. I should have checked my goddamn luggage through and through."

Despite the hold up with security, he still made it to his flight on time and is now in Miami.

BISMARCK, N.D. Police get calls about drunken drivers all the time, but rarely do they come from the alleged offender. A 17-year-old girl in Bismarck called 911 on New Year's Eve "to report herself driving under the influence," police Lt. Randy Ziegler said. "I've never heard of such a thing happening, and neither has anyone here."

The girl told authorities her location shortly before midnight Wednesday and officers found her in a parked car near downtown, Ziegler said. She failed a sobriety test and was arrested for failing to have control of her vehicle while intoxicated.

The girl, whose name was not released because of her age, was not cited for drunken driving, Ziegler said.

"Her keys were in her purse and she was parked," Ziegler said. "She did tell us that she had been driving around for hours."

The call probably was a plea for help, he said.

"She told us her life was spiraling out of control, and she had spent the majority of time drinking over the past two weeks," Ziegler said.

The girl was released to her parents Thursday

FORT WORTH, Texas A jail in northern Texas has been closed and its nearly 60 inmates transferred as authorities investigate what they call dangerous conditions for jailers and those behind bars including cells that locked from the inside or contained recliners. Five inmates had already been moved from the Montague County jail to one in a nearby county this month after an FBI raid, said Jack McGaughey, district attorney for Montague, Clay and Archer counties.

McGaughey declined to say what prompted the investigation, also being conducted by the Texas Rangers. But he said authorities found contraband in the jail. New Sheriff Paul Cunningham moved the inmates to the Wise County jail on Thursday a few hours after he was sworn in.

McGaughey said some surveillance cameras' cords had been disconnected; recliners were in cells; some bathrooms and cells could be locked from the inside; and inmates had made partitions out of paper towels to block jailers' views inside their cells. One alarming discovery was a type of rack made of nails, he said.

"This action was taken because there was a concern for the safety of the prisoners and the jail personnel," McGaughey said Friday.

Some inmates had apparently used extension cords to lock deputies out, and unidentified pills were strewn about other jail cells, Dallas-Fort Worth television station WFAA reported.

No one has been arrested, but McGaughey plans to present evidence to a grand jury and said "a number of people" inmates as well as jailers could be indicted.

The U.S. attorney's office also is working with the FBI and may bring federal charges, McGaughey said. The FBI in Dallas did not immediately return calls seeking comment Friday.

Cunningham told WFAA-TV that the conditions made him "shiver" but said he hopes the jail will reopen in two months, with repairs made and inmates back under a new set of rules.

The jail in Montague County, about 65 miles northwest of Fort Worth, has had problems in the past.

In early 2002, four inmates broke out after overpowering a guard with a homemade knife. The two convicted killers and two murder suspects drove off in the guard's SUV but were caught 10 days later at an Oklahoma convenience store.

The Montague County jail had been put on warning about three months before the escape for falling short of the guard-to-inmate ratio. After the breakout officials made a surprise visit and found the jail still out of compliance.

46% Of Women Prefer Internet To Sex, Says Intel Survey Intel conducted a survey they hoped would show how important the Internet is to consumers during tough times. Instead, the results -- gleaned from some 2,000 respondents -- are just kind of sad. Reports the Wall Street Journal: An online survey commissioned by Intel has found, among other things, that 46% of women would rather go without sex for two weeks than give up the Internet for that long. The numbers get bigger for certain age groups; 49% of women aged 18-34 would make that choice, and 52% of women aged 35-44. Some 30% of all men would swap sex for the Internet for two weeks, if they had to, with 39% of men aged 18-34 willing to make that sacrifice, according to the survey. Only 23% of men aged 35-44 said they would do so.

PLAINSBORO, N.J. New Jersey authorities say a woman drowned trying to retrieve her grandson's dog from a frozen pond.

Authorities say 61-year-old Janet Howard was walking a German Shepherd named Apollo on Saturday when it wandered onto the ice covering Plainsboro Pond. Police speculate that Howard went after the dog but the ice broke, plunging her and the animal into the water about 25 feet from shore.

A passer-by on a bicycle heard Howard's cries and tried to help her, but he also fell through the ice.

He fought his way back to shore and raced home to call 911. Rescue workers later found Howard about 4 1/2 feet beneath the surface. She was taken to Princeton Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

The dog somehow reached the shore and ran home.

Why replace your watch with a phone when you can replace your phone with a watch? That's the idea behind the LG's long-anticipated, 3G-capable watch phone, set for release this yearbut just in Europe, folks.

LG had an early prototype of the Touch Watch Phone (a.k.a., the LG-GD910) on display at last year's CES; but while the new model is apparently still in testing, it is indeed slated to go on sale "sometime" this year.

Thats the good news. The bad news? The LG-GD910 (no pricing details yet) is only going retail in Europe, leaving North American Dick Tracy fans in the lurch (well, for now at least).

That said, on with the details: LG crows that the 13.9mm-thick GD910 boasts a curved tempered glass face and "high quality" metal casingso no, we're not talking a black plastic calculator watch with a zillion buttons.

The 1.43-inch touch display is icon-based and Flash-powered, and under the hood is quad-band GSM for world calling and 7.2Mbps HSDPA forwait for itvideo telephony over the built-in camera.

Other features: Voice commands, either with or without a Bluetooth headset; text-to-speech for reading text messages to you aloud; a music player (I'm guessing video wouldn't be too satisfying on the 1.43-inch screen), a built-in speaker, and stereo Bluetooth support.

( L - R ) Yendi Phillipps, Asafa Powell - File Photos

Yendi Phillipps, Former Miss Jamaica World, yesterday played down rumours that she and sprint star Asafa Powell are involved and are more than just friends.

The beauty queen, who represented Jamaica at the 2007 Miss World competition in Sanya, China, described their relationship as "long-time friends".

"No man, me and Asafa are friends from long time. He was a part of and contributed to my fund-raising programme," Phillipps told The STAR yesterday.

Fascinated by people

"But I think people are just fascinated by people who are held highly in society and you can't knock people for wanting to know," she said.

Powell, a former 100m world record holder, participated in Fashion Xplosion: A Celebrity Charity Fashion Show, in October 2007, which was organised by Phillipps. Rumours have been circulating recently of a possible romance.

Efforts to contact Powell yesterday were futile, as, at the time, his mother, Cislyn Powell, said he was at training.

Closed-door relationship

However, The STAR spoke to a source close to Powell, who hinted at a possible closed-door relationship.

"Well, the only thing I can say is that you can't see things and just judge it. There are a couple of times when she (Phillipps) is around."

The source added: "The girl he used to be with, it look like they broke up. I saw her (Phillipps) two times. The last time I could not (properly) recognise her (because of how discreetly she dressed)."

Another well-placed source indicated that Phillipps has been spotted at a number of Powell's training sessions.

The source further told The STAR in a telephone interview that the possibility of a full-fledged relationship could not be ruled out.

"Anything is possible and I hear that she is around a lot of times when I don't see. I'm not going to say them a talk because I see them smiling together. Really, it's not my business. I am not the type to go around and ask about other person's personal relationships," the source stated.

 St. Croix fan happy that Serani got robbed!

"Kendra Wilkinson is dishing on life at the Playboy mansion in the latest issue of US Weekly. It sounds like Kendra is saying that she didnt have sex with Hef, but was expected to stay faithful to him and found the restrictions too hard to deal with long term. Shes now engaged to football player Hank Bassett and was sneaking out to see him while she live under Hefs paternal thumb:

 

Kendra Wilkinson has opened up to Us Weekly about her relationship with Hugh Hefner and how she cheated!!

 

I had to have sex every now and then, so I had to kind of sneak it, she said, noting that Bridget and Kendra stayed faithful to Hef. I was like How the hell can you do that? I had to have [sex] so I could feel my age, like a healthy human being.

 

She also says she didnt spend a lot of time with Hef. Besides the nights we went out, I only saw Hef, like, once a day walking through the halls to his office there were never solo dates The most we kind of say to each other is, I love you, Love you too, I hope you have a good day, Did you have a good day?

 

Kendra also bitched about Hefs notoriously controlling ways, saying it was way more strict than my life has ever been and that it drove her insane that staff members would keep track of the girlfriends whenever they left the Mansion. In fact, staff would note the times they left and returned to the mansion in a book, and Hef would review it each morning. And they werent allowed to spend the holidays away from the Mansion. And the paycheck? An allowance of $1,000 a week. I kind of have trouble believing that. Shit, their hair extensions alone had to be like $3K a month in maintenance. And the wardrobes?! Those girls were definitely spending more than a grand a month.

 

Kendra said, I hate putting my hand out, but we couldnt have jobs other than getting appearance fees. Hef was kind of like my best friend, but a sugar daddy at the same time Hef made me feel beautiful. Now Im totally against [Hefner's] way of life, with three girlfriends and all of that.

 

[Quotes from US Weekly, presumed to be print version, January 26, 2008, via Evil Beet]

 

Its widely assumed that Holly was the only one of the three who regularly had sex with Hef, and thats probably true because Bridget has said that she was celibate for months. I wonder what kind of creepy deal Hefs new girlfriends, the 19 year-old twins and their college student doppleganger, made in order to get a roof over their heads, free food, and the infamy that goes along with being linked to a dude old enough to be their great grandfather.

 

I really enjoy The Girls Next Door and part of the appeal of the show is the pure excitement all of the women have for the great things they get to do. They all seem genuinely thrilled at the fun experiences they have and it offers a lot of vicarious fun. I doubt that the show will have half the appeal with a new, younger cast of barely-legal women that are likely used to getting their way and take more for granted. Hefner had a great cast of women and although his latest co-eds are some compensation, its probably like switching from eating at The Olive Garden to McDonalds. One at least has the surface level semblance of class." Celebitchy.com

 

Damn Kendra! I don't blame ya girl...you had to sneak out and get yours! I guess the old man didn't wanna bother with Viagra then. Poor thang.

Lottery scammers in Montego Bay, St James, are digging deep into their pockets to pay local 'witch doctors' to protect them against evil forces rumoured to be plaguing their colleagues.

Some scammers are said to be paying as much as $600,000 to get rid of DeLaurence spells, THE STAR has learnt.

The streets of Montego Bay are buzzing with talk that the scammers, who have made millions from conning persons out of their money, are now being haunted or even killed by duppies and spells said to have been 'sent' by those affected by their operations.

Some scammers are said to be having thousands of dollars mysteriously becoming ablaze in their pockets, short spells of insanity and having visitations from 'foreign duppies'.

Pretty white girl

In one report from a resident, a scammer is said to have fainted after people complimented him for travelling around with a "pretty white girl" on the back of his motorcycle. The scammer, however, had no knowledge that the girl was riding around with him.

One witch doctor with whom THE STAR spoke on the condition of anonymity said the scammers have been paying between $200,000 and $600,000 to protect them against the spells.

"Mi work wid de majority a dem man deh. Some top man inna de scam link mi fi mi 'seal dem up'. Anywhere mi deh, dem find mi," he said. He further said that the price of the job varied according to the type of seal the scammers were seeking.

"All $500,000 or so they have to pay sometimes because you have different seals. You have the seven seals and then the 21 seals, so it vary."

After explaining the process where coffins, bottles, jewellery and fire were used to perform the rituals for the clients, he noted that the affected men did not hesitate to fork out the cash when he named his price.

"Dem sort mi out yes, because dem ave the money," he said. He even bragged that he was behind the success of many of them as he has "fixed up the papers" (sheets of paper with the details of the persons to be scammed), allowing for easy persuasion when the scammers contacted the unsuspecting foreigners.

"So, a nuff a dem mi tun inna millionaire, mi buss dem," he said. "Nuff time dem all bring back dem friend fi mi sort dem out too."

While stating that the dark forces have not affected him, one scammer with whom the newspaper spoke related the experiences of two of his colleagues.

"A nuff things a gwaan inna de game man," he said. "All money bun up inna mi breddrin pocket, 'bout $100,000 him did ave. Him affi hurry up and tek off him shorts." He continued: "All Lukazukamakfrom up the road, him ave a client, any time him call them (on the telephone) him head tek him. Him can't sleep, him just start run up and down like him mad."

The man went further said he has heard about persons who have had 'caucasian-looking ghosts' knocking on their room doors, stating that they came to collect their "package".

Assistant Commissioner of Police Denver Frater, in charge of the Area One, told THE STAR that they have heard of the DeLaurence rumours. "We have heard the rumours but it is not something that we can confirm," ACP Frater said, almost chuckling through his response.

The Montego Bay lotto scam came to light in 2005 and has since boomed into a multi-million dollar business for criminals. Scam artists use illicitly obtained personal information about American citizens to con them into sending money under the guise that they had won a lottery.

It is strongly recommended NOT test these moves on your friends!

In what seems to be a case of sibling rivalry to dangerous degrees, a man and his sister appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Tuesday. Both were charged with wounding after a fight developed between them.

Prince Nugent and Princess Nugent appeared before Senior Resident Magistrate Glen Brown.

Princess told THE STAR that on the day in question, her brother stormed into her house and began searching through her things, while accusing her daughter of stealing his phone. She said she spoke to him about searching her house and he pushed her and went for a knife and an ice pick, both of which were taken away by her daughter. She said the accused then went for an iron baton from his car and hit her in the head while she was breastfeeding her new-born baby.

Miscarriage

She also told the court that sometime before, she had a miscarriage because of injuries inflicted by her brother. She also alleged that after the incident, her brother attempted to run over her daughters with his car. She also told the court that when her brother washes his car, he throws the water at her doorstep.

Prince, however, had a different story. He said some items, including a phone, went missing from his house and his daughter told him that she saw Princess' daughter leaving the house. He said he went to the house, and was attacked by his nieces who fetched a shovel and screwdriver. He also told the court that his sister was always picking on him. Responding to a query by Senior RM Brown, he said he would not attend his sister's funeral if she died.

He was sternly reprimanded by the Senior RM who told him: "You have to learn to control yourself. You are the problem. You went to her house."

The matter will return to court on February 12 for trial in the night court.

This isn't exactly news however the occupation in Gaza is curently going on.  Some information that may surprise you.

THE MAPS TELL THE TRUE STORY

The truth is that far from being the poor victim it likes to portray itself as, Israel is in fact the most aggressive and belligerent nation in the region, having invaded pretty much everyone it shares a border with.

The following maps show what Israel has actually done.

The above map is Israel as it was first created by UN declaration in 1947. The blue portion is Israel, the rest is all Arab lands. Note that Jerusalem was completely within Arab lands and Israel was much smaller than it is today. Note also that there is NO Israeli presence inside the area surrounding Jerusalem. No settlements, certainly no IDF.  The red square outlines the approximate region shown in the map to the right.

This is Israel as it is today. Note that the western border of Palestine has been pushed up to Jerusalem. Such a land grab is NOT the result of a defensive act, but of an invasion to bring Jerusalem under Israeli control, even though Jerusalem was not originally part of Israel. The maps clearly tell the story of an Israel conquering lands which do not belong to it. Since Sharon took office, Israel has built more illegal Jewish Settlements on Palestinian land. Note on the above map that the majority of the lands which were originally Arab lands when Israel was created, are now under complete (white) or partial (orange) Israeli control. Only the black areas remain to the Palestinians, and those are shrinking by the minute.

How does a defensive action result in the total conquest of someone else's lands? The answer is that it does not. Israel is the aggressor. The maps of Israel then and now prove it.

 

Stop buying into what Sharon claims Israel "has to do" and look at what Israel has actually done. The maps tell the story of a nation eager to conquer lands which do not belong to it. Israel has invaded virtually every nation it shares borders with, including Syria and Lebanon, and as the map above shows has almost conquered Palestine and is ready to "ethnically cleanse" the region. Far from being the poor victimized society desperately defending itself Israel likes to pretend it is in order to wrest more money from Americans, Israel is in fact the most militarily aggressive nation in the region. 

Israel has ALWAYS portrayed non-Israelis as animals, in order to make it easier for the American tax payers who pay for the weapons accept their killing. And Israel has always resorted to staged terror b****ings to further its agenda, such as the Lavon affair and more recently when a supposed suicide b****er turned out to be a known Israeli collaborator. In one recent case photos showed that what was reported as a suicide b**** in Jerusalem was actually a car b****

Even now, the Israeli media admits that nobody (other than the purported b****er) was actually hurt in this latest b****ing. Now, would a real anti-Israel suicide b****er, obviously able to select where and when the b**** is to go off, really choose to detonate the b**** when there is nobody around, damaging ONLY buildings?

So, if you are being lied to about the Jerusalem b****ings, and with Israel's past use of, indeed PRIDE of, deception as a tool to be used against friend and enemy alike, it's time to take another hard look at the fact that every other nation on Earth except the United States is opposed to what Israel is doing.

You know, if the United States REALLY wanted peace in Palestine, all they have to do is stop signing the checks that pay for Israel's war machine.

"Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."
-- Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, October 3, 2001.

HISTORICAL PALESTINE

Another claim that Israel likes to make is that Palestine never really existed to start with.

"How can we return the occupied territories? There is nobody to return them to." Golda Maier, March 8, 1969.

"There was no such thing as Palestinians, they never existed." Golda Maier Israeli Prime Minister June 15, 1969

Again, maps tell a different story.

One man has been taken into custody in connection with the death of popular dancer, Ice, whose real name was David Alexander Smith.

The man, whose name has not yet been released, was taken into custody on Saturday, but is yet to be charged.

Ice was shot dead about 7:55 a.m. on Boxing Day, moments after he exited a bar along Newark Avenue, Kingston 11. He had gone there to purchase cigarettes. Earlier reported that investigators believed that the dancer's car was hit as when they went to the scene, there were signs of an accident. Reports are that Ice went into the bar and was shot dead when he exited.

The suspect is said to be a labourer from Content Avenue, off Waltham Park Road.

Shooting incident

Police was told that statements collected from witnesses implicated the suspect in the dancer's death. He was detained while reporting as a condition of bail in a shooting incident for which he has been charged.

Reports are that while the suspect was reporting to the Half-Way Tree Police Station, a complainant was making a report about a case of robbery with aggravation, where his jewellery and other items were stolen.

The complainant reportedly identified a watch being worn by the suspect as one that had been stolen from him and he was detained and interviewed. Based on the interview, investigators determined that he was the man they had been looking for.

He is to be further interviewed and will be charged soon.

Ice, a long-time member of the Black Roses Crew, created the popular 'Gully Creepa' dance. The dance brought attention to the dancer, especially after Jamaican speedster Usain Bolt performed the move after winning the 100-metre event at the 2008 Olympics in China in August.

ome 150 people aboard a US Airways plane en route from to Charlotte, N.C., from New York City were rescued in a lightning fast effort following the jet's crash into the frigid waters of the Hudson River off the West Side of Manhattan today.

All passengers and crew aboard were reported safe after New York City firefighters and ferries rushed to the aid of the US Airways jet, which floated near in the river near the historic aircraft carrier The Intrepid.

US Airways flight 1549, an A-320 manufactured by Airbus en route from New York to Charlotte, N.C., was carrying as many as 146 passengers and five crew members, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

The plane took off and 3:26 p.m. ET, and 30 seconds after takeoff the pilot reported two bird strikes and said he wanted to return to LaGuardia Airport.

Controllers began giving him directions tor return, but the pilot requested to land at the nearby Teterboro airport over New Jersey. The tower reportedly lost contact soon after that last transmission.

Commuter boats in the area were seen fishing people from the frigid waters and rescuing passengers standing on the plane's wings after the crash.

ABC News' Robin Roberts, who saw the plane crash from her apartment window, said it appeared to be a controlled landing

"It completely just hit the water full force, never bounced or anything like that, and came to a relatively quick stop," Roberts said. "But it didn't skim along the water. There was very little trauma to the aircraft. It was I'm still can't believe what I saw."

The water temperature in the river was reported at 42 degrees, just above freezing.

John Ostrom of the Metropolitan Airports Commission out of Minneapolis chairs the Bird Strikes Committee, which advises the aviation industry on wildlife management to eliminate possible hazards.

"There's a variety of ways a bird can take down a plane," he told ABC News today. "There have been instances where birds the size of robins bring a plane down, all the way up to Canada geese."

(Background, from left) Reverends Chris Mason, Merrick 'Al' Miller, Herro Blair Jr, Oswald Baker, Alston Henry and Sam Green pray for youths in attendance at the National Leadership Prayer Breakfast, held yesterday at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston. - Rudolph Brown/Chief Photographer

The REVEREND Dr Roderick Hewitt yesterday called for tougher laws against corrupt officials in both the public and private sectors, while another minister made an impassioned plea for politicians involved in crime to repent.

Pointing to inequity in the society, Hewitt charged that the rich and "politically powerful" escape sanctions for corrupt acts, while other Jamaicans were brought to book.

evil pervading the land

Speaking at the 29th annual National Leadership Prayer Breakfast at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston, Hewitt told the audience that there was an entrenched and multifaceted evil pervading the land.

The Hope United Church pastor, who selected a text from Jeremiah for his message, said many were chasing the "dishonest dollar".

He charged that the twin forces of greed and selfishness that give rise to corruption had taken up permanent residence in the land.

Taking aim at corruption, the preacher argued that scarce resources to develop the country and to assist the poor were being siphoned off by corrupt officials.

Commendable work

He hailed Commissioner of Customs Danville Walker and Contractor General Greg Christie for the work they have been doing to weed out corruption in the country.

"Ordinary people must begin to see corrupt officials being held accountable, white-collar officials, not the little man on the corner alone," he said to resounding applause.

He encouraged the Government to launch a major campaign against corruption with the same urgency as if it were fighting a deadly infectious disease.

At the same time, the Church was not spared the verbal wrath of the preacher.

He rebuked members of the clergy who led their flocks astray in an attempt to reap big financial gains from the unregulated investment schemes.

Duty to teach

Hewitt said the shepherds had a duty to teach their parishioners how to save their earnings.

"That's the gospel we should be telling our people, (rather) than looking for quick interest over 10 per cent like you working obeah in the financial sector," he added.

Many of the so-called alternative investment schemes crashed last year.

According to Hewitt, sections of the church community fused their "designer prosperity gospel" with a corrupt financial system built on greed and deception.

In a prayer for the nation, Minister Blossom White, from the Tower Hill Missionary Church, gave a moving invocation for the country's children who were being abused and killed.

She led a prayer for a group of children from troubled communities who attended the prayer breakfast.

White called on politicians who might have contributed to acts of crime and violence in the society to repent. She said the repentance would pave the way for healing and forgiveness in the nation.

Rhona Henry hugs her son, Omar Dennis, who returned home after going missing almost three years ago. - Norman Grindley/acting photography editor

After going missing almost three years ago, 17-year-old Omar Dennis brought surprise and joy to his family this week when he suddenly returned home.

"Mi just thank God him alive and come back home safe," Rhona Henry, the boy's mother, told The Gleaner yesterday as tears filled her eyes.

700 missing last year

More than 700 children were reported missing last year. Of this number, the authorities say at least 500 have returned home.

Police officials were, however, unable to comment on whether the return of a missing child after such a lengthy period was a frequent or rare occurrence.

In 2007, THE STAR, in collaboration with the Jamaica Constabulary Force, began a series on missing persons, which sought public assistance in finding them.

Went missing in May 2006

Omar, who has a learning disability and went missing in May 2006, was one of the first persons featured in the series.

The 40-year-old mother of two said she was at home preparing her dinner when she received news that her son had turned up at his father's, Fendley Dennis, house in Allman Town. Henry said she immediately dropped what she was doing to attend to her long-lost son.

"Mi never even did feel hungry again," she said. "Mi did just happy fi know that mi son come home."

Henry said Omar has told her several stories about his whereabouts during the three years, but she planned to take him to the doctor for a full check-up.

When Omar went missing in 2004, Henry said she had reported his disappearance to the Stony Hill Police Station. Since his return home on Wednesday, she said she has called the police to inform them of his safe return. The station was unable to confirm whether the report had been filed.

Knew he would return

Omar's father said he knew his son would one day return home.

"Mi know one day I would see him," the elder Dennis said.

He said that, prior to his disappearance, Omar had a tendency to slip out of the house in the early hours of the morning. He added that measures would have to be put in place to prevent him from running off again.

Omar has run away from home on more than 10 occasions, but his parents said three years was the longest he had ever gone missing.

The teenager first ran away from home when he was 12 years old.

"He seems to have a wandering spirit," Henry said. However, she is convinced her son will never run off again.

"Mi nuh think him a leave again. He told me he missed us," she said.

Remember 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell?

Adolf and his two sisters -- one-year-old JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and 8-month-old Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell -- were removed from their parents home Tuesday night by the New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services, Holland Township police chief David Van Gilson told LehighValleyLive.com.

It is unclear why the children were removed from their parents home. Gilson said his department did not receive any reports of abuse or negligence.

Heath and Deborah Campbell, the children's parents, were scheduled to appear for an undisclosed hearing Tuesday, but it was postponed, according to the website.

Due to confidentiality laws, Kate Bernyk with the N.J. Division of Youth and Family Services would not comment or even acknowledge any involvement with the Campbells when NBC10s Doug Shimell contacted them.

DYFS isnt talking much about the Campbells situation, but the kids being taken away has nothing to do with the names and birthday cake issue in December, according to Sgt. John Harris, Holland Twp. Police in Milford, N.J.

Calls to the childrens parents were met with a message that the line had been temporarily disconnected.

Jamaican engineer and producer Sam Clayton Jr has been living in France long enough to know a lot of what's happening there, especially in the music industry. So when Clayton Jr, during a recent visit to Jamaica, told us that France is reggae music's biggest market outside of Jamaica, he spoke with the authority of someone in the know. "I know France is the biggest reggae country outside of Jamaica. Yes, it's a bigger market than the US, it's a bigger market than England," asserted Clayton Jr, whose father is well-known Rastafari elder, Brother Sam Clayton, leader of the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari. Members of the Natty Dread Band from the Reunion Islands along with producer Steven Stewart standing left, Sly Dunbar second left and Robbie Lyn fourth from right, at the Harry J Recording Studio recently. Stooping in front left is Sam Clayton Jr, producer/engineer and interpreter. Clayton Jr, who was here with the band Natty Dread working on an album at the Harry J Recording Studio, based his conclusion on the number of bookings being made for reggae artistes in France, the frequency of the music on French radio, and the growing popularity of the Jamaican practice of sound system clashes, though he did not give any numbers. "I think France is where England was 20, 30 years ago," he said. "In terms of discovering reggae music, learning about it, that's where France is today." He said that at least once per year he would work with a band in France that wants to come to Jamaica. "It's a big dream for a lot of bands who want to come here and work," he told the Sunday Observer. "Usually, most of the bands are reggae bands. And they come for the sound, they come for the experience, they all come to learn, everybody comes also to get some of our musicians working on their project. And it's a big learning process for them to come here and work." Clayton Jr, who speaks French as fluently as he speaks English, said without any doubt reggae and hip hop are the music most played on the radio in France. The French, he said, have not only embraced reggae music but also the culture and the trends that go along with it. "They have embraced all forms of reggae music, from ska to dancehall," he said. "And one of the big novelties today in France is to have sound clashes between sound systems. There are a lot of sound systems in France - well, a lot of sound systems all over Europe - but in France, every day a new sound system is arriving on the scene." Influenced by Bob Marley and Rastafari, the band Natty Dread is the first reggae outfit from Reunion Island, an overseas department of France located east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. According to Clayton Jr, Reunion Island, which is smaller than Jamaica, has "a significant Rastafarian population" . The band, he said, has been in existence for 15 years. "They were the first reggae band in the Indian Ocean region," he told the Sunday Observer. "They started listening to reggae first by listening to, of course, Bob Marley, then to the two records of the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari. They have embraced all forms of reggae music. Of course, everywhere you go in the Indian Ocean region there is reggae; reggae is very popular there." He pointed out also that there are a lot of bands in that region that play reggae, but they are not considered reggae bands or Rasta bands. Natty Dread, he said, is a group of real Rastafarian brethren who play reggae music. "Their music deals with social issues, deals with political issues and generally speaking, topical issues," he said.

Exactly how dedicated are you to the concepts of recycling, scrimping and using all-natural products in your food?

If you're willing to put your money-shot where you mouth is, you'd send away for a copy of the cookbook "Natural Harvest," which goes into stomach-churning detail about how to store, prepare and serve semen as food.

Yes, it has really, erm, come to this.

"Semen is not only nutritious, but it also has a wonderful texture and amazing cooking properties," the book's description goes. "Like fine wine and cheeses, the taste of semen is complex and dynamic. Semen is inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not most, homes and restaurants. Despite all of these positive qualities, semen remains neglected as a food. This book hopes to change that."

And, yes, it appears to be a real book, and a second edition is already on the way.

Right off the bat, you get a recipe for a c**ktail (a White Russian, naturally):

2 oz. vodka
1 oz. coffee liqueur
cream or milk
ice cubes
1/2 oz. semen

An ongoing feud between the nation's two major telecommunications firms, Digicel and LIME, could lead to consumers being slapped with increased phone rates in the long term, according to the country manager for one of the companies. Geoff Houston, country manager for LIME in Jamaica, told The Gleaner yesterday that if the feud worsens, it could also lead to restrictions on calls to other networks. Houston said phone customers are being affected because the cost to call Digicel network from LIME lines are artificially high. "In the long term, this could also force up pricing," Houston added. Injunction against Digicel Houston's comments came hours before LIME obtained an injunction against Digicel, restraining the firm from disrupting, decommissioning or otherwise interfering with the interconnectivity between the parties. The order is for 28 days and the matter will be considered by the Supreme Court on February 3. In a statement on Wednesday, LIME, which up to 2000 enjoyed monopoly of the Jamaican market, claimed that Digicel, the current leader in the cellular subsector, blocked calls from LIME customers throughout the region. However, Digicel countered, claiming instead that its customers were being blocked. During a press conference yesterday Camille Facey, LIME's vice-president for legal, regulatory and corporate affairs, said there was evidence of anti-competitive behaviour with the hiking of Digicel charges for its customers calling Claro or LIME lines. While refusing to give details, Facey said LIME would be seeking damages for a disruption on December 19, as well as the current issue. Outrageous claim However, Helga McIntyre, legal and regulatory manager at Digicel, said the recent development came as a surprise. "This is an outrageous claim," she told The Gleaner yesterday. "We have not got any feedback from the regulator that we have done anything wrong." David Geddes, communications point man at the Office of Utilities Regulation, said the fact that LIME was taking the matter to court meant there was nothing the regulators could do at this time. Digicel has approximately 1.9 million subscribers, followed by LIME with some 660,000. Cash-rich Claro, which rebranded from Miphone in October 2008, is trailing with 220,000.

According to online radio station 876radio.com,
Mavado & Asafa Powell have teamed up with NIKE.

POWELL

Just a few months ago Sportsgear manufacturer Nike unveiled a custom design running shoe for the fastest man in the World over 100m, Asafa Powell.

According to a representative from the company Asafa's pair of running spikes are the strongest and the lightest in the world and is designed specifically for the 100 metre sprint races at the 2008 Olympics set for Beijing, China this summer.

Nike says that the shoes will be refined after every meet that Powell competes in leading up to the Olympics and the final product will don any design and colour requested by the Jamaican.

MAVADO

With the dawning of the new year there is no stopping Dancehall's fastest rising bad boy and protégé of the Warlord, Mavado. Who since the release of his album 'Gangsta For Life - The Symphony of David Brooks' has been enjoying a steady stream of success, from collaboration with rap mogul Jay-Z to video game deals and recently being featured on the official mixtape for U.S. Presidential candidate Barack Obama.

876radio.com understands that the gully gad has caught the attention of Sportswear giants Nike who is set to premier a limited edition pair of Nike street shoe sporting the Gangsta's name and signature taglines. The shoe which dons the national colours of Jamaica has a retro look and feel to it. Efforts by 876radio.com to reach a Nike company representative and Mavado's management proved futile, but it is speculated by a source close to the deejay that only four (4) pairs of the coveted shoe will be manufactered, this however has not been confirmed.

I have embedded a copy of Asafa's running shoes and Mavado Retro fitted sneakers, image of Mavado sneakers courtesy of First Magazine. (see image below)

Word on the street is that last night Jennifer Lopez hit up a Hollywood party looking extremely single. According to one of our sources, Jennifer arrived without her husband and without her wedding bandhmmmmmgirl. Also a member of the press asked why Jen was ringless. This is what our sources said, "Jennifer's manager Benny Medina just grabbed her and they stopped talking altogether."

Blake's pending release was announced on the BET programme, American Gangster, which aired on Thursday night.

The programme looked at the rise and fall of the Shower Posse - a criminal organisation which has its roots in Tivoli Gardens and which established bases in several cities in the US, Canada and Britain.

Blake was sentenced to 28 years in 2000 after he pleaded guilty to racketeering and criminal conspiracy. He never faced a jury after inking a plea bargain deal which resulted in the time he served while in Jamaica being used as part of his sentence.

Blake spent five years fighting extradition to the US after the American Government accused him of ordering dozens of murders, drug trafficking and other serious crimes.

The Shower Posse reigned terror on the streets of the US and its members are reported to have murdered over 1,400 persons in the United States.

The group has been accused of funnelling huge amounts of cocaine into the United States and was said to use its profits to smuggle guns and ammunition back to Jamaica.

Blake is quoted on the programme as saying "I ran it like a CEO of a Fortune 500 company. The only difference is that instead of litigating in a court of law, we held court in the streets."

The gang was said to have major drug operations in New York, Miami, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Los Angeles, Alaska, Washington D C, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Montreal, Toronto and London.

In October 1988, Blake managed to elude a nationwide dragnet which saw more than 100 posse members being held during Operation Dragnet, which was set up to nab members of the notorious gang.

He left the shores of the United States on December 3, 1988 on a cruise ship and entered Jamaica at Ocho Rios in St Ann. He remained free for 10 years and was the owner of a car, motorcycle and jet ski rental company and a once popular night club in St Catherine.

But while Blake was enjoying his freedom, some of his cronies who were slapped with long sentences, began to turn against him. Chief among them was Charles 'Little Nut' Miller, a native of St Kitts who said many of the murders were committed on Blake's orders.

Miller was eventually sentenced to life without parole after slipping out of witness protection and leading a ruthless drug-running operation in his home country.

Also turning on Blake was Shower Posse enforcer, Kirk Bruce, who admitted to committing more than 100 murders on US soil and is now serving a life sentence.

Rapper T.I. is set to return to the courtroom, lawyers for his ex-girlfriend are demanding US$8,000 in unpaid legal fees relating to their ongoing custody battle. A U.S. court ordered the star in September 2008, to pay more than US$3,000 a month to former partner LaShon Dixon. Mr. Clifford Harris Jr. A.K.A. T.I., was requested to pay LaShons attorney costs by November lastyear, according to Dixon's lawyer Randy Kessler. T.I. is due to appear at Court in Atlanta, Georgia to resolve the matter today. LaShon and T.I. are in the midst of negotiating custody and child support for their sons. T.I. is due to begin a jail sentence this year after pleading guilty to the illegal possession of three machine guns and two silencers following his 2007 arrest.

Hey, people. Sorry I never wrote anything yesterday, I was a bit stunned by some terrible news, my girlfriends aunt died of brain cancer and it kinda shook me up a little. She and I were in church on Sunday and when the pastor asked if anyone had anybody they wanted to pray for, my friend, Suzie and I stood up. However, I couldnt stand for long because I was wearing a pair of stiletto high heels and I had to sit down. So yesterday, I was kinda racked with guilt the karmic payback type -- that maybe if I had stood a little longer, maybe shed be alive, but perhaps I am just being silly, or being self-obsessive again. Anyway, it shocked me into writing in English for todays Wednesday Tea introduction. Hope you like it, tomorrow I return to my skettel self. 

IS GAVESHA HAVING BABY HERE?
Word on the street is that Gavesha did fly down to Jamaica the other day fi attend the funeral of her uncle who did drop out inna Cassava Piece the other day inna some war vibes. Condolences to the family. But everybody ah wonder if she did plan fi have the baby inna Jamaica and if she still de ya because she is a green card holder so even if the baby born here, the rights dem still authentic, right?
Anyway, we wish her a happy pregnancy and by the way, mi see her former mate Avah inna one picture weh she de a Sherlock All White boat ride and she look crawny times two.
Avah, go sort out yuself, how yu so pap down?
 
WHY SO MANY AWARDS SHOWS?
It seems that Jamaican stars will be downing the Hennessey and the Moët et Chandon White Star champagne this year as there are no less than five awards shows set for the next few weeks. We have the EMEs, the HYPE TV, the RE TV MVP awards, the Reggae Academy and the Gleaner-sponsored Youth View awards. I dont know about you but I am pretty sick and tired of this grinding pat-myself-on-the-back-a-thon as our media personalities and stars get caught up in self-congratulation and adulation. Ho hum. When will it all end? Especially at a time when the dancehall industry is struggling to survive. A.K.A tells me that Jamaica only has one pressing plant, one place to cut stampers and that the leading radio station still does not kick over mechanical rights to artistes. What is there to celebrate?

RAGGA, GET A GRIP
I like listening to Raga just as much as everyone else, even though his use of the proper sort out phrase at every conceivable opportunity has become somewhat nauseating. But his little spat with the Broadcasting Commission is getting ridiculous. He is claiming that he is being hara**ed by the BC because of his use of the vernacular on the radio, a development that certain powerful members of society turn up their noses at. Mi believe sat Ragga just a get a bit paranoid right now. Years ago, if you are old enough to remember the great Babatunde who waged the battle of using the local vernacular in the public space of radio and won, and showed media leaders that the common people gravitated towards the use of their language on air, could spark a phenomenon which generated millions of dollars in income for the station at the time and even threatened Mutty's supremacy as the top afternoon radio talk show host at the time. What Ragga is doing is nothing new, and I believe he is confusing what should be a matter of taste and self-restraint with state-sanctioned censorship.  It's much ado about nothing.

MACKA AND BLACK-ER RECONCILE
Mi love fi see how the industry people support Macka Diamond party. Richie Feelings deal wid the whole thing nice, mi love how him intro Macka inna her gorgeous orange and silver outfit and she look like a real Money Goddess when she sauntered down the red carpet all the way to the designated birthday area. The cutting of the Money-O cake decorated with (what else) dollar signs alongside long-time friend Black-er.

She and Black-er have had their differences over the years but they had the dancehall classic, Bun Him, together so that counts for something. Queen Paula whose new single Daggering Shop is about to hit the road was present Other artistes such as Kiprich, D'Angel, Captain Barkey and Wickerman, Latiesha and Portmore Dancehall Queen Dahlia also came out to support the 'Money O' queen. Big up Tony Matterhorn, Code Red, and Black Shadow who bun an early fire. Special props to the Warlord who arrived early in the morning to bless up the Money Goddess as well.

ALAINE IS A WINDOW SHOPPER?
I never knew that Alaine was a window shopper, or worse, a try-them-all-on-but-fail-to-buy-any shopper. It seems that she went to a popular uptown clothes store recently and had the store attendants racing around the store getting her clothes and shoes to try on, only for her to complain about the high prices and leave without . We wonder why. Especially when everybody know say it tek two credit card fi buy her man shirt. Wah do dem?

PEOPLE WAAN FI KNOW...

When we ah go see Mavado Nike shoe deal materialise?

Why the police won't release the name of who dem suspect shoot Ice?

Why dem ah try mash up mi laptop wid de virus dem keep on a put pon one876? Kriq tell me say it look like dem haffi go redesign the site and done, so please send your suggestions to one876entertainment@gmail.com.
