A Michigan woman reportedly attempted to get out of a drunken driving arrest Friday by offering sexual favors and $10,000 to a Wisconsin Dells police officer.

Elizabeth Ann Kommes, 30, of Iron Mountain, Mich., is free on $1,000 bail after she was arrested and charged with drunken driving as a fifth offense and bribery of a public official, both felonies, and with misdemeanor operation after revocation.

Bystanders reported to police that they saw an intoxicated woman leave a Wisconsin Dells parking lot driving a red Pontiac Grand Am with Michigan license plates "TROUBLE," according to a criminal complaint.

Kommes was stopped by officers and tested for sobriety. After she was informed she was under arrest for drunken driving, Kommes allegedly offered an officer $10,000 and suggested sexual favors to let her go.

Kommes told officers she was on probation in Michigan for possessing three pounds of marijuana and that the arrest would result in her being sent to prison in Michigan for violation of her probation, the complaint stated.

Kommes was convicted of drunken driving in Wisconsin in 2000, 2001 and 2006, and in Michigan in 2007. Her driver's license was revoked in 2006, according to the complaint.

If convicted of the felony charges, Kommes faces up to six years in prison and $20,000 in fines.

She is scheduled to appear in court next on Aug. 25.

Enjoy!!!

YOUNG mum Victoria Dobson covered up for her boyfriend after he ran over and killed her toddler son, a court heard today.

Her lover Andrew MacGregor, 30 - a disqualified driver - fatally injured 21-months-old tot Sean Dobson as he reversed his Ford Transit pick-up on to the driveway.

But as they drove the dying toddler to hospital the devious pair concocted a story that he had been knocked over outside their house by a hit and run driver.

Nursing staff and members of their family were suspicious of their story because Sean showed signs of crush injuries not consistent with a hit and run.

Suffered

 

But even after the little boy had died they stuck to their story and made statements to highly sceptical police.

The couple finally saw sense and admitted their lies.

Yesterday they both admitted perverting the course of justice at Wolverhampton crown court.

MacGregor, from Bilston, West Mids, was jailed for nine months after also admitting driving while disquailified.

Dobson, 23, escaped jail after being given a six month suspended sentence.

Sentencing MacGregor, Judge Michael Dudley, said: This is a tragic case in which a young child died as a result of a van reversing, but it has been investigated fully and it has been established that the death was completely accidental."

Addressing Dobson, Judge Dudley added: You have lost your son in this tragic accident, you told the lie shortly after the accident at a time when your thinking wasnt straight.

You have suffered greatly and have medical problems, of course this will live with you for the rest of your life.

Speaking outside court, Dobsons father Philip Dobson, 49, said: Obviously youre going to panic in a situation like that but I still love my daughter and I will stand by her."

A MOTHER told today how a boy pulled out a cutlery knife on her son and threatened to cut his neck off in a school playground.

 

Victim Lavell Griffin, also aged six, was playing at Buswells Lodge Primary School in Leicester when the fellow pupil brandished the knife from its canteen and made the threat, said Shanade Griffin.

 

The other boy was reportedly suspended from school for just one-and-a-half days after the incident, last Thursday.

Disgusting

 

Ms Griffin, 24, described the punishment as too lenient and said she is looking for a new school for her son.

 

The mother-of-three said: I think its disgusting and I cant believe they have not done more about it. Lavell didnt want to go to school on Monday.

 

I dont want him to go to that school any more. I fear for my children when they get older. For a six-year-old to do something like that - whats the world coming to?

 

Headteacher Ken Judd said the school, in Beaumont Leys, had dealt with the incident appropriately.

 

He told a local newspaper: He (the attacker) did not bring a weapon into school and he was under the age of 11, so he was not reported to the police.

 

"We have not brushed this under the carpet

TWO young men were knived today during a street fight - and some emerged PROUD of their *lo**y injuries.

The fight came as murder cops quizzed a teen over the stabbing of 18-year-old Freddie Moody in south London and the family of murdered Ben Kinsella buried the 16-year-old.

After the clash - believed to be between two gangs - two males checked into Homerton hospital, in north east London, where they were treated for stab wounds.

One set of thugs returned to pick up a coat left at the scene in Homerton High Street seconds before cops arrived - in an apparent attempt to remove any identification.

One horrified onlooker - a florist close to the scene just outside the hospital - said: I could see that everyone in the street had stopped. I went outside to look and I could see two groups having a go at each other at a bus stop.

There was a bus there but it couldnt move. A blue car was in front of it and a black car was on the other side. There were about four to six people fighting. They were all black.

I was told one of them had been dragged out of the car - I think one group was trying to get away but by the time I saw it, it looked like all of them were fist fighting.

Jubilant

 

Then I saw a guy getting into a car who had *lo** across his shoulders and chest. He looked jubilant even though he was injured. It was unbelievable, the injury didnt seem to worry him at all.

There was another guy with *lo** all over his head and all this time there were people on the other side of the road with children who were really frightened.

You know this sort of thing happens but not normally at 11.30am on a busy high street.

A woman, who also works in the street and asked not to be named, said: I saw the two cars drive off. I could see there was someone on the ground. He was bleeding around by his chest and he seemed quite stocky although he could have been young.

He got up and managed to run off but then suddenly he came back to pick up his coat and then disappeared again. It was bizarre.

The florist added: One of the cars came back to pick the coat up. Maybe he wanted to get rid of any ID that was in it. The car sped off just as the police were coming down the road. It was a close run thing.

A worker at a nearby supermarket said he was not surprised at the knifings.

He said: I heard there were six of them and all of them were injured. Itll be about drugs, it always is because people want a big car and they think thats an easy way to get it.

Its getting worse - this happened on the same day as the funeral of that other teenager.

A kebab shop worker who gave his name as Yunus said: Its dangerous around here. We do deliveries on motorbikes and they are often stolen. Our riders have stones thrown at them and you see people fighting with dogs and now knives.

Its always been bad here but in the last two years its got even worse.

A forensics tent covers the spot at the bus stop where the fight took place. A cardboard box has been placed over what appears to be a large pool of *lo** and a single trainer has been left on the pavement.

Police say two people, believed to have been involved in the incident are being treated in hospital.

It is not believed the injuries are life threatening.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: We were called at 11.04am to Homerton High Street to reports of a group of youths fighting.

No-one was at the location on arrival. It appears a group drove off in vehicles. Two males presented themselves at hospital with stab wounds. No arrests have been made and enquiries continue.

Hillarious...watch this...

Sizzla's publicist robbed, pleads for return of laptop Krista Henry, Staff Reporter Sizzla's publicist and entertainment personality, Olimatta Taal, grooved to the music at Judgement Yard recently. - Nathaniel Stewart Popular publicist and journalist Olimatta Taal was robbed of her laptop while at home last Saturday night. Taal, who is a publicist to reggae act Sizzla Kalonji, among others, as well as a well-known activist was born in the United States and raised in Gambia, in Africa. Taal has been working in Jamaica for a number of years. An obviously upset Taal told THE STAR what happened, "I went to bed early cause I was real tired and fell asleep watching TV at around 4:30 a.m. I woke up and went to the kitchen, I had left my room window open cause the apartment is high. Like 10 to 15 minutes later, I woke up and realised my laptop was gone and I heard the noise of someone jumping down." According to Taal she screamed and knocked on her neighbours' doors for help, but by then the person had already left through the back lanes of the apartment in the Barbican/Liguanea area. For Taal, her years of work in the music business internationally and locally was on the laptop, as well as family pictures, her university essays and her writing. "This is a middle-class area and honestly, if it was the ghetto I don't think this would have happened. There have been several laptops stolen in that community but no one talks to each other and nothing is done about it. It just goes to show that we need to address the issues of the poor in this country. I should be able to feel free in my own house. We gotta change the society, there are too many rich people in this country for there to be crime," she said. Taal has reported the incident to the police and is glad that her life was not threatened but pleads with the thieves to give back the information she had on the computer. She said, "Please, give me back my things, I beg you. I don't really want the computer, all I want is my work, my years of work."

Lil Wayne

For a third non-consecutive week, Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter III" (Cash Money/Universal) tops The Billboard 200. The set moved 125,000 copies during the tracking week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, a 20% drop in sales from the week previous.

Coldplay's "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" (Capitol) sits tight at No. 2 for a second week with 113,000 (-25%) while the Jonas Brothers-led soundtrack to Disney's "Camp Rock" keeps the No. 3 spot warm with 88,000 (-23%).

Arriving at No. 4, Beck's "Modern Guilt" (Interscope) debuts with 84,000. His previous set, 2006's "The Information," bowed at No. 7 but sold 99,000.

Kid Rock's "Rock N Roll Jesus" (Atlantic) continues to resurge with the help of the Hot AC/Adult Top 40 single "All Summer Long," climbing 7-5 with 61,000 (+34%). The multi-label "Now 28" compilation stays at No. 6 with a 17% decrease to 48,000.

The Decca soundtrack to "Mamma Mia!," the film adaptation of the hit theatrical musical based on ABBA's songbook, debuts at No. 7 on The Billboard 200 with 48,000. The film hits theaters in the U.S. on Friday, so there's a good chance the album could see a sizable gain on next week's chart.


In its 58th week on the chart, Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad" (SRP/Def Jam) ascends 9-8 with 47,000, a 17% increase. G-Unit's sophomore set, "T.O.S. (Terminate on Sight)" (G-Unit/Interscope) sold 36,000 (-64%), slipping 4-9. John Mayer's "Where the Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles" falls 5-10 in its second week to 34,000 (-64%).

Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis' "Two Men with the Blues" (Blue Note) opens at No. 20 (22,000) and also becomes Nelson's first No. 1 on the Top Jazz Albums chart. Other debuts include Los Temerarios' "Si Tu Te Vas" at No. 26 (Fonovisa, 17,000) and pop-punk act the Maine's "Can't Stop Won't Stop" at No. 40 (Fearless, 12,000).

At 7.33 million units, sales this week are down 3% from last week's sum and off 11.7% from the same week last year.

876radio.com understands that come August 4th, dancehall's lovable but naughty girl, Spice, has regal plans for her birthday set to take place on board the Caribbean Queen and is expected to be one grand paparazzi affair. The creative deejay has decided that the best way to avoid being forced to lock off her birthday celebrations at 2:00am, as stipulated by the Night Noise Abatement Act, is to take to the high seas, and this she intends to do in fine style. To mark this milestone, Spice will be hosting  an event dubbed "Spice Birthnite Boat Ride Ball: Cinderella Style, Paparazzi Affair", on the luxurious Caribbean Queen. "It will be a bashment with lots of class and style," she promises. "Of course, all my guests will be special, but the extra special guests will be the real 'Mumma' of the dancehall, the one and only Marion 'Lady Saw' Hall and one of my favourite deejays, Cham," she said. Music will be provided by the indomitable Stone Love aggregation along with Richie Feelings, the man who has popularized Feelings Fridays in Arnette Gardens. This paparazzi affair takes place Monday August 4th and the ship sets sail from the harbour at 11:00pm, however boarding will commence at 9:00pm on the pier at 3B Port Royal Street, beside the craft market. Sponsors include Hype TV, Miami Heat Fashion Store, Keeva's Closet, Bling Bling and Uzuri, Tasha May Fashions and Khool International Booking Agency.

An American judge is facing unemployment after using a sex toy, a penis pump, in court.

The 57-year-old judge, Donald Thompson, was seen doing something with his hands under his robes.

A police officer says he saw the judge pumping a tube between his legs. Other witnesses said they heard hissing noises.

Lisa Foster, a court clerk, says she saw the judge's penis at least 20 times because of his clumsy manouevrings.

The Creek County, Oklahoma judge said the sex toy, used to extend the penis, was a 'gag gift' from a friend.

The district attorney wants Donald Thompson sacked for his bad taste.

This judge is probably better off finding another career. A job that comes with a name tag and a broom would suit him better in my opinion.

"Mara Ranger will be a little paranoid doing laundry now. When she was removing clothes from the washing machine at her Maine farmhouse Wednesday, the clothes moved. She told WMTW-TV, "I jumped back" and saw a snake. She quickly shut the lid and called for help."

A police officer has won £20,000 after a KFC worker served him food spattered with spit and urine. A jury ruled in favour of police officer Keith Andrew, whose two sons, then 4 and 7, were sickened by the spit and urine tainted food they ate at a KFC/Taco Bell in October 2005. The younger boy became violently ill with gastroenteritis and dehydration, vomited for hours and was forced to spend time in a hospital, the family's lawsuit said. Workers who saw a fellow employee taint the family's food reported it to management, but the managers didn't inform the family, the lawsuit alleged. The food was served in the Nebraska town of Sidney which has just 6,000 residents. The jury found the restaurant negligent, said the family's attorney Andy Snyder. He said of the restaurant owner, "I'd advise them to get a better class of employees." KFC spokesman, Rick Maynard, said KFC is committed to the highest levels of food safety. "Our franchisee does not agree with the court's verdict, and they are looking at their legal options," Maynard said. A company spokesman said last year that Diedrich was fired for missing work but not for any of the incidents the lawsuit cited.

Subway Sued For Baked Knife

This Subway sandwich came with all the toppings--and some extras.
A Queens, N.Y. man is suing his local Subway restaurant for $1 million after he discovered a 7-inch blade inside his sandwich.
John Agnesini, 27, the design director at HX magazine, glanced down at his lunch two weeks ago and saw it sticking out of the other half.
"It's shocking. You see this metal knife. I mean, it's one thing seeing a hair or something," Agnesini told the New York Post. "If I didn't look at it, could you imagine what would happen? I could've slashed the side of my mouth."
He told CBS station WCBS-TV that he did not bite into the knife's blade and wasn't cut, but a few hours later he felt sick to his stomach and went to the doctor.
A doctor told him he had the symptoms of food poisoning, which Agnesini attributed to whatever contaminants may have seeped into his food, possibly from the melted plastic handle of the knife, reported the New York Post.
He also said the knife was "filthy."
Subway spokesman would not discuss the June 27 incident.
"At Subway restaurants, we take food safety and customer comments very seriously. We are aware of the complaint made and are investigating the facts. As a pending legal matter, we cannot discuss this matter further," spokesman Kevin Kane told the New York Post.
Agnesini is not the only one who has found a knife in a Subway sandwich, however.
The New York Post reported that Lauren Goldman, 22, of Manhattan, said she, too, discovered a knife in her sandwich two years ago.
After reading about Agnesini, she came forward and said she cut her lip on the blade and settled with Subway's insurance company for $2,500.
Agnesini is still wondering how this could have happened--again.
"The sandwich slid down the counter with four other people handling it. Nobody noticed? It's a seven-inch knife in a six-inch sub. How do you not see it?" he told WCBS-TV.

A pizza worker was shocked when a workmate overpowered a disguised robber - and it turned out to be her father.

Stephanie Martinez was clearing a till when her co-worker fought back against the intruder, knocking off his wig and sunglasses.

She was so shocked she dropped the money she told the Dallas Morning News

"I said, 'Don't hit him again! That's my dad!' And he said, 'What's he doing here?' and I said, 'I don't know!'"

Police say the suspect, Benjamin Ramirez, 41, ran out of the pizzaria in Denton, near Dallas, Texas, to a car where Ms Martinez's mother and husband were waiting.

But officers don't think Ms Martinez knew her family was planning the robbery.

"We will not be filing charges against her," Sergeant James Brett said. "Her husband told us she didn't know. He knew they were going to rob someplace, but he thought it was going to be a convenience store."

Witnesses followed the car and helped lead police to it, where Ramirez, Sonia Palacios, 38, and Jose Miguel Martinez, 26, were arrested.

All three have been charged with aggravated robbery.

Colleagues of Constable Mark Needham inspect the scene of the accident which claimed his life on the Spanish Town Bypass, St Catherine, yesterday. - Rasbert Turner

Spanish Town, St Catherine

Though Constable Mark Needham made sure to pay his monthly contribution to a group savings plan before leaving for work yesterday, he will never see the benefits.

Needham became one of the latest victims on the road, dying in a motor vehicle accident along the Spanish Town Bypass in St Catherine about 8 a.m.

The policeman, who joined the Jamaica Constabulary Force eight years ago, was heading to work when a Suzuki Grand Vitara driven by one of his colleagues, Superintendent Yvonne Martin-Daley of the Twickenham Park training division, collided with his motorcycle.

Police reported yesterday that Needham, who is attached to the Motorised Patrol Quick Response Unit, was riding towards Kingston in the same direction as Martin-Daley when the accident occurred.

As colleagues looked over the policeman's body as it lay next to his mangled motorcycle, they said he was a good man.

"Is earlier him come and pay him partner money and him was a very good man," remarked Marcia Markland, a teacher at Mom's Loving Daycare Centre in Willowdene, Spanish Town.

"The last thing he told me was that his desire was to serve God and get baptised, but this will never happen."

She said the policeman's daughter, who is now four years old, has been around the school since she was nine months and it was unclear how she would be affected by news of her father's death.

The constable's brother, S. Needham, could only manage a few words about the deceased.

"He was a very good youth and only 34 years old and I don't know why this happened to him but we can't change it now," he said.

The St Catherine North Traffic Department said it was conducting further investigations into the matter to determine what caused the accident.

Nikki Z buss ya now, she is rap-singing on a Leftside-produced song called Belly Ring. In my opinion, she holds down the spot, kicking a few bars, diva-style with her foreign accent and all these things. She goes: Its the diva Nikki Z, watch my hips swing/I luv-luv-luv to show my belly ring, from the front to the back, you can hear them singthen a snippet from a Kartel hook is sampled from another song with the words no lazy, no lazy. There is a line with what sounds like a phone call from Ele and a conversation about him getting turned on by watching her belly. It kicks off: (Phone rings) Whos that on my celli - yow what up Nikki to Z - What up Elle. All in all, its a very good first effort from our Z princess from around the block and we wish her all the best.

Jesse Jackson Accused Of Using The N-Word Wednesday July 16, 2008 The Associated Press The Rev. Jesse Jackson used the N-word during a break in a TV interview where he criticized presidential candidate Barack Obama, Fox News confirmed Wednesday. The longtime civil rights leader already came under fire this month for crude off-air comments he made against Obama in what he thought was a private conversation during a taping of a "Fox & Friends" news show. In additional comments from that same conversation, first reported by TVNewser, Jackson is reported to have said Obama was "talking down to black people," and referred to blacks with the N-word when he said Obama was telling them "how to behave." Though a Fox spokesman confirmed the TVNewer's account to The Associated Press, the network declined to release the full transcript of the July 6 show and did not air the comments. Jackson -- who is travelling in Spain -- apologized in a statement Wednesday for "hurtful words" but didn't offer specifics. "I am deeply saddened and distressed by the pain and sorrow that I have caused as a result of my hurtful words. I apologize again to Senator Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, their children as well as to the American public," Jackson said in a written statement. "There really is no justification for my comments and I hope that the Obama family and the American public will forgive me. I also pray that we, as a nation, can move on to address the real issues that affect the American people." A spokeswoman for Jackson's civil rights organization, Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, said she could not confirm that Jackson used the slur. Jackson has called on the entertainment industry, including rappers, actors and studios, to stop using the N-Word. He also urged the public to boycott purchasing DVD copies of the TV sitcom "Seinfeld" after co-star Michael Richards was taped using the word during a rant at a Los Angeles comedy club in 2006. The Rev. Al Sharpton, who has joined Jackson in opposition of the word, said Wednesday he wanted to hear the comments for himself and declined to discuss Jackson specifically. "I am against the use of the N-word by anyone and I think we must be consistent," he told The Associated Press. "We must not use the word."

Family Seeks Emergency Shelter After Thugs Shoot Up Their House Wednesday July 16, 2008 CityNews.ca Staff A west-end family is living in terror after at least seven bullets were pumped through the front of their house. The shooting happened just before 11pm on Tuesday night on Denison Avenue, in the Bathurst and Dundas area. Police say four small children and two adults were inside the home when the bullets went through the door and whizzed through the living room. Luckily, no one was hurt. Two suspects were seen fleeing the scene, but police are still on the hunt for the suspects. In the meantime, the family understandably wants out of the neighbourhood. "I was standing right behind the door but the bullet ricocheted and went to the stairs. It bounced off and went the opposite way," said a male adult who was inside his girlfriend's house at the time. The family thinks the brazen act was meant to send them a clear message after they recently moved in from a rival neighbourhood. The mother of the four children is currently seeking emergency shelter, but claims she isn't getting cooperation and may have to stay in the home for at least another week.

Nujood Ali, 10, has been chastised by some in Yemen for speaking out about her arranged marriage.

SANAA, Yemen (CNN) -- Nujood Ali is 10 years old, but she already has been married and divorced. It was an arranged marriage in which she said a husband three times her age routinely beat and raped her.

"When I got married, I was afraid. I didn't want to leave home. I wanted to stay with my brothers and sisters and my mom and dad," she said, speaking to CNN with the permission of her parents.

"I didn't want to sleep with him, but he forced me to. He hit me, insulted me."

As she plays marbles with her brothers and sister, Nujood is a portrait of innocence, with a shy smile and a playful nature.

But what happened evokes anger and shame. Asked if what she went through was torture, she nods quietly. Watch Nujod describe what happened »

Nujood's parents married her off in February to a man in his 30s whom she describes as old and ugly.

Her parents said they thought they were putting her in the care of her husband's family, but Nujood said he would often beat her into submission.

Nujood then turned to her family for mercy.

"When I heard, my heart burned for her; he wasn't supposed to sleep with her," said Nujood's mother, who asked not to be identified.

But, initially, she also told her daughter she could not help her -- that she belonged to her husband now.

Nujood's father, Ali Mohammed Ahdal, said he is angry about what happened to his daughter. "He was a criminal, a criminal. He did hateful things to her," he said. "He didn't keep his promise to me that he wouldn't go near her until she was 20."

When contacted by CNN, the girl's former husband declined to comment.

Nujood's parents, like so many others in Yemen, struck a social bargain when they decided to have their daughter wed. More than half of all Yemeni girls are married off before the age of 18, according to Oxfam International, a nonprofit group that fights global poverty and injustice.

Many times girls are forced to marry older men, including some who already have at least one wife, Oxfam said. According to tribal customs, the girls are no longer viewed as a financial or moral burden to their parents.

"There is always a fear that the girl will do something to dishonor the family: She will run away with a guy, she will have relations with a boy. So this is always the phobia that the families have," said Suha Bashren of Oxfam International.

Bashren calls the tradition of child brides in Yemen a national crisis. She works with young girls to protect them from early marriage, abuse and one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world.

The Yemeni government is holding legal and religious workshops to try to deal with the issue of early marriage. But experts say marrying off a young daughter is generally still seen as the right thing to do.

"A lot of people in the public don't think that this is wrong or that what happened to her was abuse," Bashren said.

In Yemen, there is nothing new or extraordinary about Nujood's story because children have been married off for generations. The country's legal minimum age for marriage was 15 till a decade ago, when the law was changed to allow for children even younger to be wed.

But what is most unusual is that this young girl took such an intensely private dispute and went public with it.

Nujood said she made up her mind to escape from her husband, describing how on a visit to her parents' home she broke free and traveled to the central courthouse across town and demanded to speak to a judge.

"He asked me, 'What do you want?' And I said, 'I want a divorce.' And he said, 'You're married?' And I said, 'Yes,'" she recalled.

What unfolded in those few days in April gripped the country on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula.

Nujood got her divorce, but based on the principles of Islamic Sharia law, her husband was compensated, not prosecuted. Nujood was ordered to pay him more than $200. The human rights lawyer who represented her donated the money.

But for this determined spirit, it was still a sweet victory.

"I did this so that people would listen and think about not marrying their daughters off as young as I was," she said with a shy smile.

Now back at the family home, she said she won't go outside to play -- that all the attention bothers her. Some still condemn the young girl for speaking out, believing that she shouldn't have challenged convention.

Human rights advocates said it will take more than a generation if this practice is to change in Yemen for other children.

"These girls are living in a misery that no one is talking about," Oxfam's Bashren said.

Well, that didn't take long. The blogosphere long ago reported that iPhone firmware 2.0 had been cracked, but that was an earlier build of the firmware. Today, a Brazilian company claimed it has unlocked the 3G iPhone and its 2.0 firmware. The iPhone Dev Team says it has undone Apple's ties, too. Let the fun begin.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Turns out it was sooner. According to reports, DesbloqueioBr, a company based in Brazil, has cracked Apple's code. Keep in mind, the iPhone is not officially available for sale in Brazil yet. So the enterprising people over at DesbloqueioBr had to get their hands on the device in some other way.

At the moment, DesbloqueioBr is selling its hack for a pretty penny. According to the Agence France-Presse, "DesbloqueioBr plans to charge between 250 and 375 dollars to unlock an iPhone." Those figures just about match the cost of the subsidized 3G iPhone if you buy it with a contract.

If you're desperate to unlock your shiny new Apple product, be forewarned. The company says the hack isn't perfect, and that some users might run into trouble.

The iPhone Dev Team also looks like it has cracked Apple's code. Personally, if you really, really want to unlock the iPhone, I'd wait for the iPhone Dev Team to give away the unlocking software for free, rather than pay ~$300 for it.

It's bound to happen, sooner or later.

Interrogation Video Of Distraught Omar Khadr Released On Internet

In Italy a new ruling by the Supreme Court of Cassation has sided with the Rastafarian religion's treatment of marijuana as a sacred sacrament.

The news from Rome hit the streets Friday morning, as a case brought before appeal judges against a reggae musician sentenced to 16 months in prison by a lower court in Perugia, was overturned.

Virtually unheard of in Roman Catholic Italy, Rastafarians were presented to the court as a faith that allows its members to smoke even 10 grams of marijuana daily.

In the ruling the Court of Cassation stated, "Members of the Rastafari faith were entitled to have in possession 'abundant' amounts of marijuana since smoking is an integral part of their religion." 

The cancellation of the Finish Line party because Mavado of the Alliance and Vybz Kartel of Portmore Empire were billed for the same show is a testimony of where dancehall is today.

An endemic has emerged into the genre - crews. The affiliation with either the Bounty Killer led Alliance or the Vybz Kartel led Portmore Empire is seen as the ultimate way to get recognition for some dancehall acts. Many upcoming artistes think it is necessary to be aligned with either of the two factions in order to get their songs playing on the radio or in the dances. They see it as an opportunity to grace the stage at events to display their talents.

However, the attachment is not always a bed of roses. This was evident when Einstein, who is an associate of the Alliance, was badly beaten by members of the Portmore Empire after he tried to take the microphone at a session in Portmore. Tensions also brewed when Aidonia left the company of the Alliance to join forces with the Empire.

ATHENS (Reuters) - Nine British women were facing prostitution charges after being arrested at the weekend for taking part in an oral sex competition in the Greek holiday island of Zakynthos, police said on Monday.

Six British and six Greek men, including two bar owners, were also charged in the incident, which took place at Laganas beach in the south of the Ionian island, which lies off the west coast of mainland Greece, police said.

The women, who came to the popular resort on holiday, had been paid to take part in the competition, which was video recorded and was to be posted on the Internet, police said.

The men were charged with encouraging obscene behavior.

In recent years, Laganas has established itself as one of Greece's most popular destinations for twenty-something holidaymakers and is known for its wild party scene.

Around 15 million people -- a fifth of them British -- visit the eastern Mediterranean country each year, drawn by its soaring summer temperatures, azure waters and sandy beaches.

(CNN) -- An 80-year-old man was forced to undergo emergency surgery to have his leg amputated following a hospital blunder in which the broken limb was encased too tightly in a plaster cast. Tom Talks, from Rochdale, northwestern England, also suffered a heart attack and renal failure brought on by the shock of the operation, he told the UK's Press Association. The plaster cast was fitted at Fairfield General Hospital in Bury, near Manchester, two months ago after Talks broke his right leg when he fell whilst walking his dog. But he said hospital staff had dismissed his complaints that the cast was too tight, telling him to "take stronger painkillers." "The pressure in my leg was such I felt as though it was trying to burst through the skin. I was begging and pleading with them to release the plaster because I couldn't stand the pain," he told PA. Two days after the cast was removed, Talk's doctor warned him that the leg had "died" and told him that his life was in danger -- forcing surgeons to amputate the leg above the knee. "I was told 'Today you're a lucky man, you are standing on two legs, but tomorrow if you're standing on two legs you're a dead man. They said 'Your leg is absolutely dead and there is absolutely nothing that can be done for it'. Talks, who remains in hospital, opted to undergo the operation because he feared his 84-year-old wife would be unable to cope by herself and said he hoped the blunder would not be repeated. "Obviously it was an error. I should have had my leg attended to but because it wasn't I've lost my leg. But anger never does anyone any good in my opinion, I'm a forward-looking person. All I'm hoping for is this is shown up so this doesn't happen again." A hospital spokesman confirmed that a complaint had been filed but made no further comment, PA said.

BRADENTON, Fla. -- A high school football star from southwest Florida is charged with fatally shooting a man during a robbery.
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office said Timothy Brooks, 18, is charged in the Sunday night shooting death of 19-year-old William White Jr.
The sheriff's office said Brooks shot White in the neck after robbing him during a marijuana deal.
Detectives were also looking for Brooks' friend, Cody Rogers, 18, who they say ripped a necklace from the neck of the victim before he was killed.
Brooks is a promising quarterback and running back for Lakewood Ranch High School. As a junior last year, he threw for 604 yards and six touchdowns, while rushing for another 631 yards and seven scores.
Sheriff's spokesman Dave Bristow said Brooks was arrested Monday. The teen did not talk to detectives and did not admit to the shooting. It wasn't clear if he had a lawyer yet.

In the meantime, the promotion for the show has cranked up to the next level with radio and TV ads, billboards and posters have already been completed. We have been securing a number of prime time spots to advertise the event and we have conceptualized several large billboards with Beenie Mans image that are going to wow people.

There will be an aggressive online promotion which will use the Internet to promote the event using myspace, Facebook and other social networking sites. In the past, Beenie Man has secured several international stars for his annual show and this year will be no different, the organisers said. The streets have been buzzing about the possibility that the Killer might attend. "You know Beenie Man already, he is an inclusive person so he has left the door open for Bounty Killer to attend and perform at this year's show," manager Rohan Smith told one876entertainment this morning.

FAYETTEVILLE, N.Y. Barenaked Ladies singer and guitarist Steven Page faces a cocaine possession charge after his arrest while visiting two women at their suburban Syracuse apartment.

Page, 38, of Toronto, was charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony that carries a maximum penalty of up to 15 years in prison, Manlius Police Capt. Bill Bleyle said Wednesday.

The arrest comes as the band, known for its clean image and cross-generational appeal, recently put out a new album for kids titled "Snacktime," a collection of two dozen original children's songs.

Terry McBride, the Vancouver-based manager for the band, said Barenaked Ladies shows are still scheduled, but he declined comment on Page's arrest.

"We cannot comment because the matter is before the courts, but we are confident our client Steven will be completely exonerated,'' McBride said in a prepared statement. "Until that time, it's business as usual for the Barenaked Ladies.''

Page was with the band when it performed Saturday at the Horseshoe Casino and Hotel Southern Indiana in Elizabeth, Ind.

The band is scheduled to perform next month on Long Island at Playskool's Play Aid Benefit Concert to benefit four children's charities.

Pages' lawyer, Mark Mahoney, did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment about the arrest. Page was originally due back in Fayetteville Village Court on Thursday, but a clerk said his case has been adjourned until Aug. 26.

The band was formed nearly 20 years ago in Toronto and has released 12 albums, producing such hits as "If I Had $1,000,000,'' ``Brian Wilson," and "Too Little, Too Late." The group is known for its whimsical lyrics and comedic banter on stage. In 2002, the group performed an impromptu concert at Syracuse University for VH1.

Police said Page was visiting Christine Benedicto, 27, at her Fayetteville apartment when they had an argument and Benedicto drove off in Page's vehicle.

Just after 2 a.m., Manlius officers on patrol found a car parked across the sidewalk with its driver's side door open outside the apartment. An officer looked up the license plate and saw it was registered to that address, Bleyle said.

As officers approached the house, they saw Page and Stephanie Ford, 25, at the kitchen table with a white capsule that later tested positive for cocaine, Bleyle said. Ford, who shared the apartment with Benedicto, was also charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance as well as unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation.

Although Benedicto was not at home at the time, she was charged later Friday with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor, and unlawful possession of marijuana.

All three were arraigned in Manlius Town Court. Page posted $10,000 bail for himself and $5,000 for Ford, Bleyle said. Benedicto was released on her own recognizance.

Police said they were unclear on the nature of the relationship between Page and Benedicto. Page and Carolyn Ricketts, his wife of almost 14 years, separated last year, according to newspaper reports. They have three sons.

Bleyle said officers didn't become aware of Page's celebrity until after they arrested him. The rock star offered no resistance, he said.

"To us, it was just a regular drug arrest," said Bleyle.

Dancehall's ace female deejay, Marion "Lady Saw" Hall, is now in the middle of her month-long European tour, and the reviews so far have been great. The artiste and her entourage have been visiting major cities in countries such as France, Germany, Spain, Holland and Denmark, leaving a trail of satisfied fans. "Saw is one artiste who can always be counted on to charm her audience and her onstage antics add to her vibrant performance. She has a strong fan base in Europe and with every visit, she adds to it", her publicist, Ray Alexander said. Lady Saw started her series of shows on July 3 in Denmark, and has been rocking Europe with her memorable performances. Her hectic first week schedule included performances at some major reggae concerts including the Roskilde Festival in Kolnon, Germany, on July 4;  July 5 in France at the Eurockennes Festival, then  July 6 in Amsterdam, Holland at Two Sevens Splash.  On July 8, performed in Frankfurt, then the tour moved to Zurich, Switzerland for another event, Moods and then on to Italy for the Rototom Festival, which will have a Dancehall Night for the first time in its history. Saw re-visited Spain, where she did a show earlier this year, returned to France this week for Toulouse Salle le Ramier, then it's on to Slovakia for the Trencin Pohoda Festival with a return to Switzerland, on July 19, after which she moves on to Belgium on July 20 for the Dour Festival. Saw recently apologised to her local fans for her absence this year from the premier reggae festival, Sumfest.

Lady Saw  recently appeared on one of Hype TV's most popular programmes, Up & Live, where she had a premier of  her new  video 'Belvedere Heights'. She lauded the work put into the video by director Wayne Wade, who also did the video for another of her singles, 'Chat To Mi Back'. Saw also holds a spot on the Hype TV Top 20 singles chart, with the provocative single 'Sunday To Sunday'  on the Big Ship label.

Residents of Kew Lane, Kingston 13, are now crying foul following the attack of two teenagers in their community on Monday.

Sixteen-year-old Phillip Orr was shot dead, while his 17-year-old friend is now nursing gunshot wounds after the deadly attack.

Reports from the police are that both youths were sitting by the roadside when they were approached by four armed men who opened fire before escaping.

They were hit and taken to the hospital where Phillip died while undergoing treatment.

Meanwhile, the Half-Way Tree police say they will be monitoring the area in hindrance of any future attacks.
