After recently performing before thousands of diehard U.S. college fans on the Irish and Chin produced "Campus Rave" tour, Mr. Vegas has returned to the dancehall scene with a vengeance and three new steamy videos in tow.

As if dancehall artist Mr. Vegas couldn't get any hotter in 2008, he just wrapped up the production of a video for his newest single "Daggering." On this sizzlin' track, Mr. Vegas delivers piercing lyrics over the 'Remebrance' riddim, produced by Kirkledove of "Tek Weh Yuhself" fame. Like its predecessor, "Daggering" is destined to spawn a dance craze. As you read this, impressively, "Daggering" is already creating waves within the dancehall. In addition to Mr. Vegas' "Daggering," you can catch the recent and ever-so-popular "Hot Gal Nuh Fight Ova Man" and "Mus Come a Road" videos in heavy rotation on various television media outlets.

"Daggering is based on a dance, like 'Wine Up,' 'Bruk Out,' etc.," said Mr. Vegas enthusiastically on the set of the video shoot. "It's a man and woman dance, in contrast to just an individual ting everybody can get involved."

"We have taken this one way back and have modernized the Mento," added Vegas. "It's quite a different feel compared to the one million 'daggering' songs in the dancehallyou have to bring something exciting."

The "Daggering" video was a creative project from hot-shot director Jay Will, the man behind loads of top-notch dancehall videos including Vegas' popular "Tek Weh Yuhself" and "Hot Wuk." "Daggering" consisted of two scenes, shot at different locations in Jamaica. The lovely Caymanas Mineral Bath in St. Catherine was the backdrop for scene one, while the final dance/club scene was shot on location in Kingston.

"Daggering" is chock-full of energy, capturing the presence of a host of dancers including Shelly Belly, Crazy Hype and Mr. Vegas' own High Energy Dancers ( a four-member female dance group). One can anticipate seeing moves that transcend time, from back in the kumina days right up to the modern day "daggering."

"Naturally, 'Daggering' sounds like a poco song, so we wanted to keep some kumina in it, giving it a poco vibe strictly to the African roots," explained Jay Will about the video concept.

Mr. Vegas is scheduled to soon wrap up the Irish and Chin produced "Campus Rave" tour with a final stop at UCLA. Soon after, he will jumpstart a Canadian tour, dropping in on several cities.

Mr. Vegas, dancehall's singjay, is clearly one of the industry's mainstays. He burst onto the scene over 10 year ago, with the break through hit "Heads High." For over a decade, Mr. Vegas has kept up the momentum by entertaining fans with timeless hits. His most recent studio album Hot It Up, distributed by Delicious Vinyl, has been embraced by the massive. Notably, the racy single "Hot Wuk" landed on the Billboard charts. In August 2007, Mr. Vegas signed onto Irish and Chin, Inc. to manage his career.

 

STOCKHOLM (AP) She is a latecomer to the information superhighway, but 75-year-old Sigbritt Lothberg is now cruising the Internet with a dizzying speed. Lothberg's 40 gigabits-per-second fiber-optic connection in Karlstad is believed to be the fastest residential uplink in the world, Karlstad city officials said. In less than 2 seconds, Lothberg can download a full-length movie on her home computer many thousand times faster than most residential connections, said Hafsteinn Jonsson, head of the Karlstad city network unit. Jonsson and Lothberg's son, Peter, worked together to install the connection. The speed is reached using a new modulation technique that allows the sending of data between two routers placed up to 1,240 miles apart, without any transponders in between, Jonsson said. "We wanted to show that that there are no limitations to Internet speed," he said.

 

 

A leading Saudi preacher believes the Facebook website is a 'door to lust'

A woman was beaten up and shot dead by her father for talking online with a man she met on the website Facebook.

The case was reported on a Saudi Arabian news site as an example of the "strife" the social networking site is causing in the Islamic nation.

It said the man shot his daugther after discovering she had been chatting online to a young man she had met on Facebook.

?Security sources assured Al-Arabiya.net that the father beat up his daughter and then shot her dead,? it said.

A leading Saudi preacher told Al-Arabiya.net that Facebook was a "door to lust" for women and called for it to be blocked to prevent social "strife".

Sheikh Ali al-Maliki said women were posting "revealing pictures" and "behaving badly" on the site, which has become popular with young Saudis.

Internet engineers said that young Saudis were using Facebook to flirt and make "web-cam calls".

Saudi Arabia imposes an austere form of Sunni Islam which prevents unrelated men and women from mixing, bans women from driving and demands that women wear a headscarf and cloak in public.

 

Women in Saudi Arabia are using Facebook and other networking sites to chat to men

One female Saudi Facebook fan told The Mail that blocking the site would be pointless because people would simply switch to similar sites.

The 27-year-old woman, who did not want to be named, admitted many young Saudis used Facebook to get in touch with members of the opposite sex.

?In Saudi Arabia, we live more of a virtual life than a real life. I know people who are involved in on-line romances with people they have never met in real life,? the woman said.

?And many of us use Facebook for other things, like talking about human rights and women's rights.

"We can protest on Facebook about the jailing of a blogger which is something we couldn't do on the streets."

Engineers also told Al-Arabiya.net that there were Facebook pages for homosexual and lesbian relations. Homosexuality is illegal in Saudi Arabia and is punished by flogging, jail or even death.

The Saudi authorities block access to websites they deem sexual, pornographic, politically offensive, "un-Islamic" or disruptive because of controversial religious and political content.

But Syria is the only Arab country so far to have blocked Facebook.

When the ban was enforced in December, Syrian media said it was to prevent Israeli users from infiltrating Syrian social networks.

 

Healthy, Well & Wise Can Oral Sex Cause Throat Cancer? In an era of HIV and chastity rings, teenagers and young adults roughly 75% of them have turned to oral sex as a less risky option. But its not safe sex. And while it wont get you pregnant, it can still get you into big trouble. For the first time ever, researchers at Johns Hopkins University have established a link between oral sex, the human papillomavirus (the same virus that causes cervical cancer) and throat cancer. That adds to a roster of risks already tied to oral sex: herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, and HIV

A normal delivery turned out to be a frightening robbery for a pizza man in Mandeville, Manchester last Friday. Information reaching The Star is that, men called a fast-food outlet and ordered pizza and drinks. Instead of paying after the order was taken to them, they robbed the delivery man at gunpoint. A supervisor at the fast-food restaurant, speaking on condition of anonymity, corroborated the story. "It (the robbery) took place about 2 p.m. when someone called and requested that a delivery be made," she said. "After the delivery guy went to the location, he saw five men, three of them had guns. They took three pizzas, two 2 litre sodas, the delivery guy's cellphone and J$8,200 and US$15 he had on him." The value of the stolen food was $3,450. The food courier was not hurt however. Sick leave A woman constable at the Mandeville Police Station was unaware of the incident saying the persons who were on duty on the weekend were not in to confirm or deny it. Additionally, the Constabulary Communication Network's officer for the station could not be reached as she was said to be on sick leave. The supervisor said the person who made the order used the name of one of the restaurant's loyal customers, with whom they had never had any problems. The customer usually has his deliveries made near where the robbery occurred. She said it was the third time, since working at the fast-food outlet, that such an incident occurred. In two separate incidents last year, the company's two motorcycles, cash and pizzas were taken when two delivery guys were robbed. She said the robbers called in the orders and then robbed the couriers when they showed up. Rumours also circulated that another delivery guy, employed to another Mandeville-based restaurant was robbed on Saturday. It is said that persons called the restaurant and ordered a drop-off then robbed him when he showed up. Attempts to contact the restaurant yesterday were unsuccessful.

AP - Sep 29, 4:05 pm EDT NFL Gallery JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP)Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Richard Collier, shot while sitting in a car outside an apartment complex earlier this month, is paralyzed below the waist and his left leg was amputated, his doctor said Monday.

Collier was on a ventilator for about three weeks and has no memory of the shooting, said Dr. Andy Kerwin, a surgeon for the University of Florida at Shands Jacksonville hospital.

His overall condition has improved greatly, Kerwin said. We expect him to be discharged soon.

Kerwin said Collier suffered 14 bullet wounds to the back, left groin, left legs and right buttock. In addition, a bullet severed his spinal cord, causing the paralysis. The amputation was the result of damage to his left leg and groin, where *lo** clots formed. Five bullets alone were removed from his urinary bladder and the 26-year-old player also had bouts of pneumonia, infections and renal failure.

Still, his condition has been upgraded to good from critical.


Collier will undergo physical therapy to learn how to move from his bed to a wheelchair. He will never walk again, the doctor said.

AP - Sep 29, 4:02 pm EDT
Colliers agent Jeff Jankovich said the players family wanted to make sure Collier understood what had happened to him before releasing details to the public. He said they even kept the Jaguars in the dark.

He has extreme grief for a lifetime of dreams he wont be able to fulfill, the agent said.

Jankovich refused to say specifically when Collier would be released, citing security concerns.

Collier and former teammate Kenneth Pettway were waiting for two women outside an apartment complex early Sept. 2 when a gunman fired into the vehicle, according to the Jacksonville Sheriffs Office. Pettway was not injured.

The motive behind the attack on Collier is unknown, but investigators said earlier he appeared to be targeted. Police have made no arrests in the shooting.

Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio and several players attended the news conference.

Its a tragedy this young man was caught up in this violence, Del Rio said. Its a great tragedy for a young man who had such a promising future.

Offensive tackle Tony Pashos said the attack on Collier has been difficult for his teammates. I think about him a lot, he said.

Collier was in his third year with the NFL after graduating from Valdosta State.

He was the third NFL player shot in the past 18 months. Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor was fatally shot during what police said was a botched burglary attempt at his Miami-area home in November. Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was killed when his rented limousine was sprayed with bullets minutes after leaving a New Years party at a club in 2007.

(CNN) -- Jury questionnaires released Saturday revealed five of the jurors in O.J. Simpson's Las Vegas, Nevada, robbery trial said they disagreed with the 1995 verdict where he was found not guilty of two murders. Jury questionnaires released in O.J. Simpson's robbery trial reveal diverse work and life backgrounds. more photos » All 12 jurors had previously heard about Simpson and all but one knew about his acquittal 13 years ago in the Los Angeles, California, stabbing deaths of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman. One juror said he agreed that Simpson was not guilty while four said they were unsure. Another said she had "no feelings. It is history." One juror did not answer the question. The nine women and three men on the jury said in the questionnaire they would give Simpson, 61, a fair trial on his latest charges. After 13 hours of deliberation Friday, the jurors found Simpson guilty on 12 charges of armed robbery and kidnapping in connection with the 2007 attempted heist of memorabilia he said had been stolen from him. The verdict came 13 years to the day after his acquittal in Los Angeles.

The target audience for this site are brand new marijuana dealers and those of you who wish to break into the field but just don't know where to start. It's intended mostly for people who aren't trying to make a career out of marijuana distribution, but just want a little side income or free smoke. However, experienced dealers, and big-time dealers might learn a thing or two as well, and get another perspective on the business. General pot smokers can also benefit from the chapter on dealing with police, or if they wish to know how dealers think so they can evaluate them to find the cheapest and safest hookup. This site focuses on marijuana dealing, but most of it can apply to all illegal drugs.

International flights are lonely times folks. You sit there, perhaps look outside the empty window if you're lucky enough to get the seat, and try to make awkward conversations with your seating mate. Luckily, if you're flying through Delta Airlines, you've brought your laptop and use their nifty in-flight Wi-Fi service, but dude, you gotta behave yourself. Delta said that it will filter their in-flight Wi-Fi service when it launches later this year "to block inappropriate Web sites"--yes, pr0n will not be tolerated when seated next to a stranger while flying thousands of feet above ground. Previously, the airline mentioned that flight attendants were in charge of handling such situations, but to assure everyone's safety and discpline, they're just simply saying "No" to any potential gross behaviors. Just pop-in a sleeping pill or two and you'll be fine.

Washington, D.C. -

By a vote of 263-171, the House of Representatives finally passed the bailout bill Friday, and President Bush signed it.

Now comes the hard part: putting the plan in motion and restoring market confidence.

It's not going to be easy. Many important details of the
program--including which banks will be the first to sell their troubled
assets to Uncle Sam--are still unknown. Meanwhile, the economy is still
stumbling along. U.S. The Labor Department reported Friday that 159,000
jobs were lost in September, the biggest drop since 2003 (see "The Bailout: An Owners Manual").

Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury Department still has to work out the
program's fine details. For instance, it needs to hire a team of
consultants and managers to help it figure out how to dole out the $700
billion that will be used to buy toxic assets from companies that can't
sell them.

Treasury officials have not responded to inquiries regarding how far
along the administration is in that process. Under the program, up to
$350 billion could be available immediately (Congress can say no to the
remainder). However, White House spokesman Tony Fratto told reporters
Thursday that it could be "at least weeks" before the first banks and
insurance companies are able to sell their troubled assets.

According to financial services analyst Howard Glaser, Treasury
Secretary Henry Paulson already has chosen Ed Forst, an executive from
Paulson's old firm, Goldman Sachs, to lead the implementation of the
plan. Paulson apparently didn't want to wait for Congress to get the
ball rolling. They'll have to proceed quickly but gingerly.

"Continued political support for the effort depends on a 'clean'
execution of Treasury's broad new authority," says a research note from
the Glaser Group.

The bill has grown considerably since it was first proposed by the
administration two weeks ago, but here's what it else it does:

--Provides the government with warrants to obtain an equity stake in
companies. This helps ensure that taxpayers share in future gains of
companies that are bailed out.

--Limits excessive executive compensation for some companies. Any
firm that sells more than $300 million in troubled assets to the
government is also subject to more taxes.

--Establishes an oversight board and special inspector general to act as a watchdog.

--Requires the Treasury secretary to regularly report to Congress the details of all financial transactions under the bailout.

--Allows federal agencies to modify troubled mortgage loans.

--Expands the amount of government insurance on individual bank deposits from $100,000 to $250,000.

--Gives the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission the
authority to suspend mark-to-market accounting and requires the agency
to complete a study on the effectiveness of this accounting method.

--Requires the president five years from now to devise a plan to recoup net losses, if there are any.

--Gives companies the opportunity to insure their troubled assets
rather than selling them, although this is up to the discretion of the
Treasury secretary.

The version of the bill the House approved Friday is what the Senate overwhelmingly passed Wednesday night. It includes tax breaks,
disaster relief, clean energy tax incentives and a fix to prevent the
alternative minimum tax from hitting more than 20 million additional
people in 2008. The added price tag: $110 billion over the next decade.

On Monday of this week, the House squashed the plan, with many
lawmakers--mainly Republicans--echoing their constituents' feelings
that it was a bailout of Wall Street at the expense of Main Street.
After the vote, the Dow Jones industrial average
dropped a record 7% in one day. That probably helped change some minds.
So did a full-court lobbying press by the president, congressional
leaders and some of Washington's most powerful industry groups.

"This legislation is very far from perfect, but it is a necessary
start," says Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., one of those switched from a
"nay" vote to a "yea."

Both House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Republican leader
John Boehner of Ohio reminded members of Congress that the action taken
Friday is just one component of an economic recovery. "No new deficit
spending must be our mantra," said Pelosi.



Boehner appealed to a higher authority, invoking a familiar motto:
"Remember those words today: In God we trust. Because we're going to
need his help."Washington, D.C. -

ENGLEWOOD, Colorado (CNN) -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on Saturday slammed Sen. Barack Obama's political relationship with a former anti-war radical, accusing him of associating "with terrorists who targeted their own country." Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin lashed out at Sen. Barack Obama's ties to controversial figure William Ayers. Palin's attack delivered on the McCain campaign's announcement that it would step up attacks on the Democratic presidential candidate with just a month left before the November general election. "We see America as the greatest force for good in this world," Palin said at a fund-raising event in Colorado, adding, "Our opponent though, is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country." Palin made similar comments later at a rally in Carson, California. Obama's Chicago, Illinois, home is in the same neighborhood as Bill Ayers, a founder of the radical Weather Underground, which was involved in several b****ings in the early 1970s, including the Pentagon and the Capitol, and the two have met several times since Obama's 1995 campaign for a state Senate seat. Palin cited an article in Saturday's New York Times about Obama's relationship with Ayers, now 63. But that article concluded that "the two men do not appear to have been close. Nor has Mr. Obama ever expressed sympathy for the radical views and actions of Mr. Ayers, whom he has called 'somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8.' " Several other publications, including the Washington Post, Time magazine, the Chicago Sun-Times, The New Yorker and The New Republic, have debunked the idea that Obama and Ayers had a close relationship. Riot and b**** conspiracy charges against Ayers were dropped in 1974, and he is now a professor of education at the University of Illinois in Chicago. Obama campaign spokesman Hari Sevugan called Palin's comments "offensive" and "not surprising given the McCain campaign's statement this morning that they would be launching Swift Boat-like attacks in hopes of deflecting attention from the nation's economic ills." With Obama rising in polls while the country struggles in the grip of a financial crisis, Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign decided to shift attention away from the troubled economy and onto issues of his opponent's character, judgment and personal associations, the Washington Post reported. "We're going to get a little tougher," a senior Republican operative said, requesting anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss strategy. "We've got to question this guy's associations. Very soon. There's no question that we have to change the subject here."

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (CNN) -- Former gridiron great O.J. Simpson was found guilty Friday of all 12 counts in the armed robbery of two sports memorabilia dealers at a Las Vegas, Nevada, casino hotel last year.

Simpson, 61, and his co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart, 54, were charged with a dozen offenses stemming from the sports memorabilia heist. Stewart was found guilty of the same charges as Simpson.

Simpson sat quietly and showed little emotion at the defense table as courtroom clerk Sandra Jeter read the verdicts.

After the verdicts were read, deputies immediately handcuffed Simpson and led him out of the courtroom. Watch O.J. Simpson verdict being read »

According to the Associated Press, Carmelita Durio, Simpson's sister, sobbed as he was being escorted out of the courtroom. As spectators left the courtroom, Durio collapsed and paramedics were called, court spokesman Michael Sommermeyer said.

Simpson and Stewart could spend the rest of their lives in prison for these convictions. Clark County District Judge Jackie Glass set sentencing for December 5. Watch O.J. Simpson being removed from court »

Simpson arrived at the Clark County Justice Center at around 10:50 p.m. (1:50 a.m. Saturday ET). Simpson told CNN's Ted Rowlands on the phone before the verdict was read that he was "apprehensive."

The jury of nine men and three women, none of them African-American, reached its verdict after 13 hours of deliberations Friday. Jurors heard from 22 witnesses over 12 days of testimony. Chief among the witnesses were seven of the nine people inside Room 1203 of the Palace Station Hotel and Casino for the September 13, 2007, confrontation.

The evidence included testimony from the two dealers, four co-defendants who cut plea deals and cooperated with prosecutors, and hours of often-profane, crackling, secretly recorded audiotapes.

Prosecutors alleged that the men, led by Simpson, burst into the room, flashed a gun and threatened memorabilia dealers Bruce Fromong and Al Beardsley.

The men then filled two pillowcases with Simpson trinkets, signed Pete Rose baseballs and Joe Montana lithographs. Simpson's defense attorneys maintained their client was merely trying to retrieve personal photographs and other mementos that belonged to him.

Neither Simpson nor Stewart testified during the trial. Instead, their attorneys savaged the motives of the other witnesses.

Simpson's lawyer, Yale Galanter, said Simpson was a target of investigators from the very beginning. The case "has taken on a life of its own because of Mr. Simpson's involvement," he added.

"Every cooperator, every person who had a gun, every person who had an ulterior motive, every person who signed a book deal, every person who got paid money, the police, the district attorney's office is only interested in one thing: Mr. Simpson," Galanter said.

Stewart was characterized by his lawyer, E. Brent Bryson, as the trial's forgotten player.

The most compelling evidence for all sides came from the audiotapes.

For the prosecution, conversations taped by collectibles middleman Thomas Riccio took jurors from the poolside planning to the profanity-laced hotel room confrontation.

Riccio, a chatty sports memorabilia dealer and convicted felon, made the rounds on network news shows immediately after the hotel room fracas. He admitted on the stand that various media outlets paid him $210,000.

The crucial evidence for the defense came from two audiotapes, a voicemail from a key prosecution witness who seemed willing to tailor his testimony for a price and tapes of Las Vegas police officers laughing and joking about Simpson's Los Angeles acquittal following his arrest.

Galanter told jurors the surreptitious recording captured police investigators in the hotel room after the confrontation. "They're making jokes. They're saying things like, 'We're gonna get him,"' he said.

Police were called to the hotel around 8 p.m. on September 13, 2007. Shortly after midnight, detectives visited Simpson at his hotel. He told them he was just trying to recover property that had been stolen from him.

"Why are they not in trouble?" Simpson asked about memorabilia dealers Beardsley and Fromong, according to police reports filed in the case. Both men testified for the prosecution, although Beardsley said Simpson did nothing wrong and was "set up" by the "rat Riccio."

Riccio, who was not charged in the case, testified that he didn't think twice about recording Simpson when asked for help retrieving what Simpson claimed was his property.

All four of the former co-defendants testified for the prosecution. Two of them tied Simpson to guns and threats.

Michael McClinton testified that Simpson instructed him to bring a gun and "look menacing" before they entered the hotel room.

Simpson has told police he had no idea the people with him were armed.

The testimony was laced with innuendo about unsavory activities by several of the witnesses, many with criminal records. Riccio and Beardsley feuded openly, calling each other names and questioning each other's sanity.

Aware that loose cannons on the stand could blow the case into mistrial purgatory, Glass refused to let David Cook testify. Cook, an attorney for the family of Ronald Lyle Goldman, searches for Simpson assets to satisfy the $33.5 million civil judgment against the former NFL star.

Simpson was acquitted of killing his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Goldman in a trial that ended 13 years to the day before the Las Vegas jury began its deliberations.

Regarding Glass' ruling, Cook told CNN: "If you read between the lines, I think she thought my appearance would bring up the Ghost of Christmas Past."

The case featured 19 male witnesses and just three cameo appearances from women. Swagger and testosterone ran rampant with hard stares from the witness stand.

As testimony neared its end, Glass, a former television news reporter, vented her frustration with the quibbling lawyers.

"I'm trying to get this trial back on track," she snapped. "I am surprised you haven't seen my head spin and fire come out of my mouth at this point in this trial."

E-mail to a friend

The plot thickens on the whole 50 Cent-Ciara wedding rumor. MediaTakeOut.com was the first news source in the world to tell you that in recent weeks artists 50 Cent and Ciara have both been wearing what appear to be wedding rings. We were also the first news source in the world to tell you that the two platinum selling artists are romantically involved.

Y'all know that MediaTakeOut.com's reporters are good at getting to the bottom of things. And the first thing we learned in this reporting game - is that when the artist sends out their publicist to lie for them - that means your digging up the right tree.

And that's exactly what happened yesterday. 50 Cent's official rep sent us the following statement:

50 cent is not engaged or married. He is currently filming a movie where his character is married, hence the wedding ring.

Now you see that there 50. You done messed up. Cause we got a picture of you wearing the ring while on the tour in Africa - 8,000 miles away from the movie set in New Orleans. And common sense tells us that ain't a man in the world gonna put on a wedding ring when he's on tour - unless he's married.

Ladies and gentlemen, where there's smoke there's fire. And we smell a blaze is about to pop off. And when the mainstream press starts picking up on this story - which was uncovered by MediaTakeOut.com's crack reporters and readers, don't forget where you heard about it first.

STACIOUS. we need to see more positive things coming out of dancehall

STACY Scarlett, better known to fans as Stacious, is having a glamour girl moment. Looking fresh to death in full black (a small, short-sleeved blouse, jeans and wedged platforms), she's tossing back her long hair extensions as she dishes on her love for shoes - sexy, ladylike footwear and the occasional pair of Timbs.

"I'm a shoeaholic," she confesses, giggling. "I'm not really into brands. Anything that looks good and is comfortable, that's me."

As it turns out, shoes are among what Stacious considers her passions, falling somewhere on the long list that includes God, music, travel, fashion and men of the 'rudeboy' variety. And that's precisely why the widely circulating talk about her regularly "hanging out" with the ultimate dancehall hustler, David 'Mavado' Brooks, is so hard to play down. But, surprise, surprise, the gossip is only partly true. And Stacious will not hesitate to let you know this.

These days, it comes as no surprise that her name regularly pops up in the local gossip columns and everywhere else that the latest 'suss' is being shared. After all, the 25-year-old is a woman on fire, intent on making musical magic for her growing fanbase and earning the stamp of approval of the veterans and even her contemporaries in the biz.

A St Hugh's High alum and a trained travel expert, Stacious (sometimes described as a t****oy with tattoos and piercings) strongly believes good things happen when one taps into their innate abilities. Splash recently wasted no time in getting the lowdown from her about music, men and making money.

Splash: Everyone has been talking about your latest single Falling Down, which is steadily climbing the dancehall charts. What led you to record such a provocative anthem?
Stacious: When I first heard the rhythm at the studio, I immediately knew I wanted to record a story and the producer also told me not to do anything with any violent lyrics. So I'm glad that such a song goes across the board because a lot of people in society, both men and women, do not properly take care of their riches and end up 'pop dung'. So it's sending out a message to everyone.

Splash: Definitely. How do you feel about your music career as it is right now?
Stacious: I think things can always be better, but for the time being, I am comfortable. I like the progress and the growth I am making.

Splash: I see a lot of female artistes sticking together these days but, on the real, do you have 'beef' with any other female artiste?
Stacious: I wouldn't say I have 'beef' with anyone, but last year people were saying that I have issues with Macka Diamond but I cleared that up. In my little circle [Tifa, Natalie Storm, Timberlee, D'Angel] we all get along. Everybody I rap with as female artistes get along. We each have our own little side of the dancehall. So we don't have a problem.

Splash: What's your relationship like with Danielle?
Stacious: (Pause) We're not enemies, but we're not friends.

Splash: Since we're on the subject of females and girlfriends, are you excited about the arrival of the long-awaited Sex and The City movie?
Stacious: Of course (Laughs). I definitely want to see it because you know those girls are always up to their antics. The wild and freaky one [Samantha Jones] is my favourite of the four (Laughs). I can't wait to see it.

Splash: I am going to see it on Monday. We should go together. By the way, are you single?
Stacious: Yes, I am (Smiling)

Splash: Girl, please. So you're not seeing Mavado?
Stacious: No, I'm not (Laughs). We're just friends. He made an appearance in my video and from then, people have been saying we are dating. He's just a good yute and we hang out regularly. He's only a friend. I want to make that clear (Still laughing).

Splash: So it's all just rumour and speculation. No 'gully-side'?
Stacious: Exactly.

Splash: Oh, I see. So what do you think of his music?
Stacious: I love it. I enjoy listening to the gangster side of the music. I think [Mavado] is very melodious and he knows how to put his stuff together. I also think he's very misunderstood and, as a result, he's chastised a lot by the media and by people in general.

Splash: I see there's an expensive-looking engagement ring on your finger. Who is it from?
Stacious: It's from an ex-boyfriend. While I was living in New York in 2004, he proposed to me. But he wanted me to choose between him and music. And, of course, I chose my music. But I still wear the ring sometimes.

Splash: Real sentimental stuff. Speaking of music, what else are you working on currently? What can we look out for?
Stacious: Well, I am working with Ward 21 and we have another all-female project called the Estrogen Riddim, on which I have a new song called Goodaz Clap. My friends and family say they want to hear some girl tunes so I'm going to give them what they want (Laughs). I am also doing some ongoing work with 'Majic City' Records, a US-based label, so I hope good things will come out of that.

Splash: Do you like what you see happening in dancehall today?
Stacious: I think there is a lot more work to be done. We need to see more positive things coming out of dancehall. That's why, at this time, artistes have to take more responsibilities for their careers. My job as an artiste is to convey certain messages along with my thoughts and feelings because at the end of the day, I want to relate to everyday people. And right now, I think it's going good.

Splash: But what do you think it takes to have a long and successful career in the dancehall?
Stacious: It's a mix of talent and personality because if you're not easy to get along with, people will not want to work with you and you need people on your side to rise to the top and stay there.

Splash: Do you have what it takes?
Stacious: Definitely.

Splash: You seem like someone who loves kids. Would you be willing to kiss Pearnel Charles on the lips for $50,000 to benefit street kids?
Stacious: Yes, for charity and for children, I would do it. I would just close my eyes and picture somebody else (Laughs).

Splash: What about for $5,000?
Stacious: No, it's not worth it. I need more. But if I was to kiss Tyrese for $5,000, no problem (Laughs).

JAH KNOW STILL MI WOULDA

A wild rumour raced around Kingston  that Vybz Kartel's mother and sister were shot and killed. However it is not true. The deejay denied the rumour.
 
"My own mother called me and told me that she just heard a rumour that she was shot and killed, nutten nuh go so doggist,"

A number of entertainment personalities and movers and shakers called  local offices yesterday to verify the rumours. Most expressed shock and consternation that the deejay had become entangled in such a dangerous situation

The St Andrew North Police say that yesterday they held the most-wanted man in their division in bed with another man. THE STAR was told that during an early-morning raid carried out at a two-room house in the Harriman Close area of Jacks Hill, St Andrew, Damion Walker, otherwise called 'Bruno', was captured. Walker was wanted in connection with a double murder that occurred on July 27, 2007, along Park Lane in the Red Hills Road area. During that incident, Camille Daley and Clive Baker were killed. A warrant had been issued for Walker's arrest in connection with this crime. He was also being sought by the police for the murder of Eunice Campbell, who was killed earlier this year along Oddman Lane in the Grants Pen community. Walker, THE STAR was told, was found in bed with his driver and alleged accomplice, Jason Hart, otherwise called 'Tallman'. Hart, the police say, is being held for harbouring a fugitive, but could face other charges.

Following the premature shutdown of Assassin's Girls Gone Wild Tuesdays by the police this week, Bembe Thursdays, which is also held at Weekenz on Constant Spring Road, might suffer the same fate.

On Tuesday, a big bash was expected for the final Assassin's Girls Gone Wild. However, the party was locked off before 12:30 a.m.

When THE STAR arrived at Weekenz at 12:45 a.m, there was no music or signs of life at the venue.

There were no patrons and the regular jerk chicken, soup and peanut vendors were nowhere to be found. Only a few cars were parked in the adjacent parking lot.

Noise complaint

One of the promoters of the event said the party ended when two groups of police personnel entered the venue and ordered that the party end because residents around the area were complaining about the noise.

Deputy Superintendent Carol McKenzie, head of operations for the St Andrew North Police Division, said the police ended the party because it violated the Noise Abatement Act which says events held during the week must end by 12 a.m.

"They are to close at midnight by law," McKenzie told THE STAR.

When asked about Bembe Thursdays, which is also held at Weekenz, he said: "It's going to close down too. I am going to make sure that this Thursday I am around."

"As long as they breach the law, and as long as there is a complaint from the residents around the venue. I am fed up and I have had it with down there. It's a residential area and I am going to take some serious action," McKenzie said.

No problem

However, unaware of McKenzie's position, Bembe selector Biggy said, "Bembe a go up till 2 o'clock. Wi nuh have no problem with the police."

Though Assassin's Girls Gone Wild had a bad end, Weekenz's manager, Winston Watkis, said it will not become a trend to lock off parties held at his venue by 12 a.m.

"The Act has been around for a long time, but it is just being enforced and the patrons need to understand that we would love for them to come out early," he said.

"Weekenz is a club and that means we can go on (beyond midnight), providing that we do not disturb the public and we have put measures in place for that. But Girls Gone Wild has lived its life for this year."

Watkis explained that Girls Gone Wild, which started on May 19, was intended to be a summer series, but because it was going well the party continued into September. Watkis hopes, however, that if the series is held next year it will be better and more organised.

Elderly couple burnt to death

Monday, September 29, 2008

LOUIS Bryan, 70, and his 60-year-old wife Betty, were burnt to death yesterday in a fire which destroyed their 15-apartment house at Clarendon Park in Four Paths, Clarendon Saturday night.

Police believe the fire was the work of arsonists.
The Constabulary Communication Network - the police's information arm - said at about 11:00 Saturday night neighbours saw fire coming from the Bryans' residence and alerted the police and the fire brigade. However, by the time firefighters reached the scene, the house was already destroyed. One unit from the May Pen Fire Department carried out cooling-down operation.

The couple's charred remains were found among the rubble. Loss is estimated at about $8 million. The house was not insured.

Brutal murder Headless body found in Red Hills believed to be that of missing 11-year-old girl

SCREAMS of anguish bellowed throughout the community of Belvedere in Red Hills, St Andrew yesterday as firefighters removed a heavily decomposed body believed to be that of 11-year-old Ananda Dean from a steep precipice along Cypress Drive - miles away from where she was last seen after she went missing almost two weeks ago.

"A she, a she.. Oh God," Ananda's aunt, Tamika Campbell bawled, after viewing the headless remains and then falling to the ground seconds later. Upon hearing the news, Nordia Campbell, Ananda's mother, also fainted at the thought that her daughter may have been brutally murdered.

Because of the advanced state of decomposition, no one was able to positively identify the body as that of Ananda. However, some family members, including Campbell, are convinced that it is in fact the little girl, mainly because a black size two school shoes and a navy blue uniform, similar to ones owned by the seventh-grade student of Swallowfield All-Age School, were found at the scene.

Yesterday, Deputy Superintendent Carol McKenzie of the police's St Andrew North Division told the Observer that DNA tests would have to be done to determine the identity of the body.

Ananda, who lived with her family on Whitehall Avenue in Kingston, was last seen on September 17 boarding a bus en route to Half-Way-Tree after school. Several of her school books were found a day after she went missing strewn along a pathway in the community of Pembroke Hall, miles away from where she was last seen.

The body was discovered about 10:00 am by residents who decided to investigate the cause of a lingering nasty odour that had been plaguing nearby houses for almost two weeks.
"At first we thought it was a dead animal, but after one week passed and we realised that the scent wasn't going away some people decided to go see what it was," a resident told the Observer. "It was when they chopped out the bush and went up there they found out that it was the little girl's body up there."

It appeared that the body had been thrown from the precipice into overgrown bushes, which concealed it until yesterday.
The residents also intimated that they may have overlooked clues that Ananda's body was disposed of in their community.

"People said they saw the uniform on the road for the longest while but they never knew it was the little girl's own," said another resident who did not wish to be named.

The police are speculating that the body may have been dumped hours or a day after Ananda went missing, given the state of decomposition, which resulted in a pathologist being called in to perform an on-the-spot post-mortem. It was naked and headless. In fact, a skull was all that remained of the head. There were also suggestions that she may have been raped. However, this could not be confirmed by the police.

Yesterday, it took the firefighters from the Stony Hill Fire Department almost three hours to remove the body resting more than 10 feet from the top of Cypress Drive. Once they were able to access the body, it was then put in a wooden box and hoisted up onto the road, keeping the scores of residents that gathered to see if the body was truly that of Ananda - the girl whose picture had been posted on fliers, placed on light posts, buses and in stores in the Corporate Area - in suspense.

Attorney: Man Wasn't In Teacher Roll When Girl Came To House

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A former teacher accused of fondling a student may never stand trial because of an interpretation of Florida's sex laws.

William Tinsley IV denies that he had any sexual contact with a 16-year-old student who came to his Arlington home.

Tinsley, 28, was fired from his job at Lighthouse Christian School in Mandarin after he was arrested and charged with custodial sexual battery -- custodial meaning having legal authority over a child.

His defense attorney has filed a motion to have the charges dropped, contending that even if Tinsley was found to have had sexual contact with the girl, since the incident allegedly happened at the teacher's home on a weekend, Tinsley had no custodial authority over the teenager.

"The statute does not cover it, and the Florida Supreme Court has said the teacher is not the custodian of the child when the child is off the campus and not involved in school activities," defense attorney Curtis Fallgatter said.

Prosecutors argue that the law does apply in this case since, as a teacher, Tinsley had authority over the child even if it was not at school.

If Tinsley were not a teacher and the act was consensual, no law would have been broken.

"So a 16- or 17- year-old child could have fondling or touching with an adult over the age of 24 and it be legal as long as it was consensual, according to our sex crimes law," said Assistant State Attorney Alan Mizrahi. "He was her teacher. ... That makes the whole difference."

ABUJA (AFP) - Nigeria will re-name streets after music legends Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and Bob Marley, as well as Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, a minister said on Wednesday.

Names of some 80 streets in Nigeria's administrative capital are to be rebranded in coming days, some of them stripping off names of former military governors, the minister said.

Without specifying the ex-state governors whose names will be struck off roads in an Abuja suburb resided by legislators, Federal Capital Territory minister Aliyu Umar said some of the roads had been "inappropriately named".

"Some of the names have no relevance or affinity to our existence, history or culture," said Umar during a 48th independence anniversary parade.

For over half of the 48 years Nigeria has been independent from Britain, the country was run by military rulers.

"The occasion is to celebrate names which have contributed to Nigeria's democracy," he said.

The street naming exercise is to recognise literary icons such as Nobel laurete Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe.

Nigeria's famous afro musician Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and sport heroes Jay Jay Okocha, Kanu Nwankwo and Mary Onyali will have streets named after them.

The gesture was also extended to a leading opposition candidate Atiku Abubakar in his capacity as a former vice President.

Abubakar is currently challenging the election of President Umaru Yar'Adua in last year's disputed vote.

Streets will also be named after internationally renowned rights activists such as Malcolm X, Martin Luther King and Marcus Garvey.

"We honour Malcolm X, who taught black people to stand up for their dignity wherever they are, Rosa Parks who single-handedly confronted discrimination and Martin Luther King Jnr (whose) dream lives on," Umar said.

Also honoured are the late right activist and African nationalist Marcus Garvey and the late king of reggae music Bob Marley because "they are an integral part of our history and consciousness".

KDDI announced a new prototype phone that uses six different types of sensors to see its surroundings, including other people and objects within proximity. According to Tech Radar, KDDI was hush hush about the specifics, but did reveal the sensors include GPS and multiple types of accelerometers and geomagnetic technology which are then used to render the environment in OpenGL. Its also able to detect how many calories one has burned via walking or running, even using the microphone (?) in the process. No demo was offered, but I'll be waiting to hear how this really works.

Tuesday, 20 May 2008 The international spotlight has again been turned on Jamaica and the controversial issue of homophobia.

Prime Minister Bruce Golding who is in the United Kingdom (UK) on an official visit was grilled on the topic when he appeared on the top-rated BBC television talk show "Hard Talk" Monday night.

Mr. Golding was questioned about Jamaica's reputation of being the most homophobic country in the world and the administration's response to the matter.

He made it clear that while each Jamaican should have the right to privacy and equality before the law, the Government would not bow to international pressure for the recognition of gay rights.

"Jamaica is not going allow values to be imposed on it from outside. We're going to have to determine that ourselves and we're going to have to determine to what extent those values will adapt over time to change, change in perception, change in understanding as to how people live."

Mr. Golding said Jamaica's standards and morals will be defined or determined by lobby groups that are far away from Jamaica.

No homosexuals in the House

Questioned about statements he made in the past that homosexuals would not be allowed to serve in his Cabinet, Mr. Golding insisted that he would not change that view.

"That's a decision that I made ... that every Prime Minister makes. A Prime Minister must decide what he feels will represent to the Jamaican people a Cabinet of Ministers who will be able to discharge their responsibilities without fear, without favour, without intimidation. That's a choice that I had and I made that choice," said Prime Minister Goldin.

Mr. Golding who is on a one-week visit to the UK is to meet with Prime Minister Gordon Brown Tuesday.

He is scheduled to return to Jamaica on Sunday.

HE was never without a Bible, and possessed a charming smile that would disarm many an unsuspecting female.

MORGAN... rumoured to have sired more than nine children

But Nathaniel 'Natty' Morgan was a deadly criminal described by police in the latter part of the 1980s as 'the most feared criminal by society since the death of Rhygin in the 1950s'.

During his descent into the depths of crime and violence, Natty Morgan drove fear into law-abiding citizens, while at the same time earning the status of 'hero' from residents of the communities he used as his stomping ground.

Nathaniel Morgan was born on New Year's Day, 1966. His mother dumped him on his father, who lived close to the Riverton City landfill, before he was one year old. He was the only son of his father's six children.

The appalling conditions of filth, squalor and refuse which filled the squalid community at the edge of the City dump provided the perfect training ground for this youth, who would grow up to become the nation's most-wanted man.

During his formative years, Natty Morgan learned the power of violence through the constant beatings he received from his father and elder sister who were convinced that tough treatment would curb his mischievous ways.

Morgan would more often than not be absent from classes at the Seaward All-Age School where his father sent him to get an education.

By the time Morgan was seven, his penchant for criminality began to emerge. By the time he celebrated his 10th birthday, he had been absent from home for weeks at a time.

Those who lived in Riverton City said the youth was attracted to the ways of the older gangsters in the community and would willingly run errands for them or alert them of the presence of the police.
Frustrated that his efforts to keep his son on the straight and narrow path were failing, Morgan's father shipped him off to live with his mother in St Mary.

But Natty Morgan was back in the capital city about five years later, and immediately linked up with his boyhood friends who, by this time, had grown into reckless teenagers.

It would not be long before he had his first of many brushes with the law and, for the next five years, he was a regular occupant of jail for charges, including shooting with intent and illegal possession of a firearm and robbery.

Police have blamed Natty Morgan and his gang for the multiple murders of seven men who attended a wake in Seaview Gardens on February 25, 1989. The men were all put to lie down and were shot in the back of the head. The killings drew the condemnation of society and were dubbed 'the Seaview Massacre'. Popular talk at the time was that the men were killed because they attended the wake of a person whose life was snuffed out by Morgan's gang.
After the massacre, a police post was set up in Seaview Gardens to ease the fear of terrified residents.

Morgan and his crony, Peter Lawrence, were captured by police who organised a massive operation a few months after the massacre and were dragged before the court after being charged with nine murders.

But the criminals would not stay behind bars for too long as, on December 19 of that year, Natty Morgan and Lawrence both walked out of the Gun Court after they had appeared there to answer to the multiple murder charges.

The two were handed over to prison warders after the court had adjourned and were discovered missing hours later.

After his flight from justice, Natty Morgan became a thorn in the side of law enforcement and eluded several attempts to collar him. He used the swampy terrain near the dump as his hideout and would often leave his lair to carry out heinous crimes.

The police then named Natty Morgan as the most wanted fugitive, and blamed him for 11 murders during his time on the run. In all, police say Morgan and his gang were believed to be responsible for 19 murders, 41 robberies, shooting with intent, arson, attempted robbery and three cases of abduction.

The crimes were carried out in several parishes.

Among his murder victims were University of the West Indies (UWI) lecturer Dr Garfield Saddler and his female companion Rosemary Stewart, who was vacationing in Jamaica at the time. Their bodies have never been found, and police theorise that they were burnt and buried somewhere in the Riverton landfill. The couple were believed to have been abducted at the Red Hills Mall in St Andrew. It is believed that the gang wanted their motor car to carry out a robbery.

Morgan was also suspected of being the triggerman behind the killing of his gang members Evon Jones, Peaches Gordon and a man known only as 'Wasp'.

Natty Morgan was also suspected of running a massive extortion racket, in which he allegedly collected payments from all of the big businesses on Spanish Town Road.

He was also known to wear dresses and wigs in order to hide his true identity.

Those who knew Morgan describe him as having a calm disposition and a warm smile which masked his evil intent.
"Him was a man who would laugh with people and shoot them. He was very cold, and killing to him was like taking a breath of air, a natural body function," said one woman who claimed to have lived in Riverton City at the time.

Not even his siblings were free from the fear of the nefarious criminal.

In an article which appeared in the Daily Gleaner of August 25, 1991, one of Morgan's sisters, identified as Joan, said her brother had once threatened to shoot out her teeth after she questioned him about an edict he gave to three women to leave the Riverton City community.

The women were friends of Joan but were branded as informers by Natty Morgan.

But despite his thirst for *lo**, Natty Morgan was also described as a man who would spend hours reading his Bible which he also carried in his back pocket.

He was also said to be pursued by women in Riverton City who saw it as an honour to sleep with him. He has been rumoured to have slept with four women in a single night. Those who knew him say the women, some young teenagers, would brave attacks from alligators and trek the swamps to copulate with Natty Morgan. It is said that young girls willingly gave up their virginity to him.

Natty Morgan is rumoured to have sired more than nine children.
He was also a lover of guns and was said to have owned a large cache of assorted weapons.

"Some of them I don't even know exist on the face of this earth. I don't know where he get the guns from but he was always up here with them. Up to two, three at a time," Morgan's sister told the Gleaner days after his reign of terror, like most badmen, came to a *lo**y end.

After eight months on the run, Natty Morgan was cut down in a hail of police bullets in Lakes Pen, St Catherine, near to the Lakes Pen dump.

Acting on a tip, a police team cornered Natty Morgan and three of his cronies who were travelling in a van on the lonely strip of road and a gun battle ensued. When the smoke cleared, Morgan was found cl**tching an M16 Colt AR assault rifle. He also had his Bible in his back pocket. His crony Arthur 'B****er' Hamilton was also found cl**tching a Remington repeater shotgun.

Morgan's face was so badly damaged by the police bullets that the police had to use fingerprints and a missing finger, which was said to have been shot off during an earlier shootout with the police, to officially identify him.

Dancehall superstar Beenie Man has won his multi-million dollar tax case against the government. Beenie Man whose real name is Moses Davis was freed of tax evasion charges Tuesday after senior magistrate Owen Parkin upheld no case submissions by the artiste's attorney.

Attorney Roderick Gordon found a gaping hole in the government's case during his submissions and successfully highlighted the flaws. He argued that the Notice of Assessment which claimed that the DJ owed the government more than 40 million dollars in outstanding income taxes was improperly drafted.

The court was told that the Notice as stipulated under section 75 of the Income Tax Act failed to inform the artiste of his basic rights. Beenie Man was not informed that he had the right to object to the assessment and to seek audience with the Commissioner of Taxes to challenge the amount.

The Notice served only informed the DJ that he owed the 40 million dollars and that he was required to pay the outstanding sum. He was also not informed that he had 30 days within which to reply to the notice of assessment.

After hearing the submissions, Mr. Parkin agreed that Beenie man wasn't properly informed of his rights and ordered his release.

Tuesday's ruling ended months of anxiety for Beenie man who was faced with a $47 million tax bill. Revenue officials hauled him before the Tax Court claiming that for several years he failed to pay over taxes to the government.

But the artiste insisted that his former management company, Shocking Vibes, was responsible for paying his taxes.

Deejay Vybz Kartel's latest video, Life Sweet, has been completed and will be released on local television and cable this weekend.

Up and coming director Wayne South was the man behind the cam on the shoot and he feels that this is easily one of the best videos he has ever done.

"It is a great video, we took shots of Kartel in an executive boardroom kind of environment, showing the Vybz Rum and Daggering condoms, and also we took shots of him in a wine cellar where the rum is stored. We have some sick camera shots with fire and smoke that the teens are goin' to love," he said.

"We tried to make the quality of the camerawork and the editing really first class, and we have shots of little children singing Life Sweet."

Vybz Kartel has already scored three number one singles this year with Nah Go Nowhere, Money Fi Spend and Trailer Load a Money. The songs have held the pole position on the Stampede Street Chart and the Jamaica Music Countdown charts.  Kartel just returned from Switzerland where he performed alongside the rising young*lo**s of his own Portmore Empire: Blak Ryno, Jahvinchi, Shawn Storm, Lisa Hype and Doza Medicine.
