Deejay Vybz Kartel met in a serious car accident last night when his Honda Inspire motor car crashed into a concrete utility pole in the Arcadia area in upper St. Andrew last night.

The deejay escaped serious injury but his young protege, Blak Ryno, who is signed to Portmore Empire Records, suffered a left shoulder injury. The car was totalled.

"The Teacha was driving behind a motor vehicle in the Arcadia area when the motor vehicle slowed up suddenly to make a sharp right turn and the Teacha swerved to his left to avoid a collision and the car slammed into a light-pole. The airbag was deployed, so Addi was not hurt. However, Ryno had to do x-rays up by UWI hospital, they didn't leave up the hospital till after 2 this morning," a member of the deejay's entourage told One876Entertainment.com.

Vybz Kartel has been in numerous car accidents over the years. He was hospitalised for a few days when his Toyota Surf SUV was totalled in 2003. A few months after that, another vehicle he was travelling ran off the road and plunged into a precipice while he was heading to a show in rural Jamaica. Blak Ryno, whose hit Mek Di Paper,  was a fixture in dances late last year has a new single called Tell Me How Evil is This? that is  getting mad love in the dances and local radio.

The Zimbabwe currency tumbled to a record low of 25 million for a single U.S. dollar Wednesday. Currency dealers said uncertainties ahead of elections scheduled March 29 and the world's highest inflation rate of 100,500 percent annually led holders of hard currency to hang on to their money while the central bank pumped more local cash into the market for election costs.

We'd already heard about a possible price cut to the Xbox 360, but it looks like that might not be all that Microsoft has in store, as TrustedReviews is now reporting that the 20GB hard drive in the standard Xbox 360 model is about to get the boot in favor of a more spacious 60GB one. That word apparently comes from a "rock solid source," who says that Microsoft wants to get it out the door by the end of its financial year, which comes at the end of June. TrustedReviews also goes into a bit of speculation, saying that Microsoft is "toying with the idea of introducing a new 360 SKU," and that a model with a built-in Blu-ray drive would seem to be "the most logical conclusion," although they say an external drive "makes sense too." While that possibility obviously remains up in the air, TrustedReviews is about as confident as can be with the 60GB Xbox 360 news, saying that you can take it to the bank.

Chris Stokes Admits To Molesting B2K & Marques Houston???
December 24th, 2007 | Author: Aliya EwingFor years there has been nasty speculation in the industry about producer Chris Stokes being a child molester. Those stories were completely unfounded, until now. Former member of B2K, Raz-B, and older brother, Ricky Romance, are coming out on record making startling allegations that Stokes molested both of them, and most likely all of the other B2K members as well as Marques Houston.
Raz-B can be seen in the Youtube clip below confessing the molestation to Marques Houston's sister: He claims to be on a new spiritual journey finding solace in God. Part of his healing is bringing to light the horrible events with Stokes that have haunted him since they occurred. His mission with this phone call was to alert the Houston family that Marques and Omarion were most likely victim's as well:
(excerpt)
Raz B: It all started with Chris Stokes. Chris was like - let me touch you ...
Marques Houston's Sister: Did he touch everybody, or was it just you?
Raz B: You know what, I can't speak for everybody, but if you want my personal opinion, I think he did...

In the second YouTube clip, Raz B's older brother, Ricky Romance, speaks of also being molested by Stokes:
"Chris [Stokes] made me take showers with the other boys .... All the [things] that my brother was introduced to, that shit was brought to me first. I blocked that shit and I wasn't with it - I backed out ... I kinda knew what was going on there. And yet, I took my brother [Raz B] over to Chris, and I didn't protect him like I should have." "[Chris Stokes] molested my brother [Raz B] and he molested me ... when I say that, it hurts."
Later on in the video, Ricky Romance calls Chris Stokes who seems to admit to the allegations:
"I don't do that anymore, That was me years ago ... I just don't do that in my life anymore."

One876Entertainment.com understands that popular music download website Audiomaxxx.com has been shut down, more than 200,000 music CDs and DVDs seized and four persons arrested following a year-long investigation by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA).

For years the website, headed by Raj Singh Ramgotra has been operating out of Winnipeg, Canada and is said to be a major alleged music counterfeiting operation. Many artistes and producershave issued threats to Mr. Ramgotra over his organization selling their material way before the set release dates.

At one point it was said that Ramgotra who is said to be of Indian descent is racist and hated black people. Dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel released a track in the past dissing Ramgotra. CLICK HERE TO LISTEN (CONTAINS EXPLETIVES)

When One876Entertainment.com visited the Audiomaxxx website a message stating 'Currently revamping the site and are experiencing technical difficulties with the server and emails.

FINALLY!!!!!

Police file criminal charges against four people and seize more than
    200,000 music CDs and DVDs

    TORONTO, March 6 /CNW/ - Following a year-long investigation by the
Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA), the RCMP has shut down
Audiomaxxx.com Ltd., a major alleged music counterfeiting operation in
Winnipeg, and filed criminal charges against four individuals.
    Raj Singh Ramgotra, the principal behind Audiomaxxx, was among those
arrested during a raid yesterday at the organization, which for three years
has allegedly manufactured pirated compact discs and hard core pornographic
videos, and distributed them throughout Canada, the U.S., Europe and Jamaica.
More recently, Audiomaxxx's offerings have also included allegedly pirated
digital downloads.
    In addition to the arrests, police seized an enormous volume of suspected
counterfeit goods. This includes more than 200,000 music CDs and DVDs,
numerous movie DVDs and hundreds of thousands of blank discs. Police also
seized five CD/DVD burning towers, each with 12 burners, which together are
capable of burning well in excess of 10,000 CDs and DVDs a day. The raid also
netted several computers and hard drives, two commercial CD printers, four
colour copiers and other office equipment.
    In the past 10 years, the raid closest in scale to the action against
Audiomaxxx involved the seizure of about 10,000 counterfeit music CDs and DVDs
- one-twentieth the volume netted yesterday.
    More than 10 police officers were involved in yesterday's raid.
    "We sincerely thank the RCMP officers who have worked so hard to bring
Audiomaxxx to heel, and to the federal prosecutors who have worked closely
with them," said Graham Henderson, President of the Canadian Recording
Industry Association. "Today's arrests send out a clear message that
commercial piracy will no longer be tolerated in Canada."
    Audiomaxxx is suspected of being one of Canada's leading music
counterfeiters. In Toronto alone, approximately 30 percent of the pirated CDs
seized allegedly originate from the operation. CRIA estimates that, at
minimum, Audiomaxxx has been shipping tens of thousands of allegedly pirated
CDs each month.
    CRIA has received dozens of complaints concerning the operation from
artists, music associations and music labels around the world, including
numerous small, independent labels. In the past, when faced with demands by
rights holders to cease its activities, Audiomaxxx has consistently ignored
the demands or failed to fully comply.
    The operation appears to be highly developed, with a significant
catalogue of allegedly pirated CDs and music downloads offered for sale via
the website www.audiomaxxx.com, including copies of tracks by famous artists
like Shania Twain, Lionel Richie, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige and Nelly Furtado.
    "The RCMP has again demonstrated that it stands side by side with artists
and rights holders in the fight against intellectual property crime," said
Randy Lennox, President and CEO of Universal Music Canada Ltd. and Chairman of
CRIA. "CRIA has a longstanding partnership with the RCMP and other police
forces in fighting piracy, and today we have taken a big step together to stop
one of the most flagrant examples of its kind in Canada."
    Audiomaxxx's alleged piracy affects not just famous artists, but also new
and independent artists - largely in the reggae, soca and hip-hop community -
who are struggling to build careers. For example, Vancouver's Utopia Records,
one of the many independent labels to voice concerns, has seen new artist
albums appear on the Audiomaxxx website on the day an album is released in
stores or even before the legitimate launch date.
    "The harm done by music piracy is especially troubling when it undermines
a promising artist's burgeoning career," Henderson said. "We will continue to
work with police and lawmakers to give these artists, and the organizations
behind them, the opportunity to succeed."
    CRIA began investigating Audiomaxxx as part of an ongoing program to
deter music counterfeiting and piracy. The operation came to CRIA's attention
because of the large volume of suspected counterfeit products openly offered
for sale on the Internet and the owner's failure to stop selling these
products after the issuance of cease-and-desist orders.
    Since CRIA began dedicated anti-counterfeiting operations more than a
year ago, the association and police have seized more than 400,000 CDs and
issued 80 cease-and-desist orders against retailers of illicitly copied music.

    The Impact of Piracy and Counterfeiting on Canadian Artists and Rights
    Holders

    Piracy and counterfeiting exact a steep toll on artists and rights
holders in Canada. This is reflected in significant music sales declines since
the advent of widespread unauthorized file-swapping in 1999 and the
proliferation of CD and music DVD counterfeiting in recent years. In that
time, retail sales of pre-recorded audio products (CDs, digital tracks, etc.)
declined by 47 percent, from $1.3 billion in 1999 to $703.7 million in 2006.
    For the 11 months ended November 2007, net wholesale shipments of CDs,
music DVDs, and other "physical" recorded music formats dropped 16 percent to
37.9 million units from 45.1 million units in the year-earlier period, while
the related net wholesale value dropped 20 percent to $382.4 million from
$476.3 million.
    A 2007 national POLLARA survey found that purchases of counterfeit goods
such as music CDs displace legitimate commerce. About half of those who bought
counterfeit music, movies or software would have purchased the genuine version
had they not purchased a copy (for music, the figure was 43 percent; movies,
45 percent; and software, 44 percent).

Local cops say they will be cracking down on 'orgy' parties, which are now becoming a popular addition to our party scene.

Although illegal, these parties are being staged regularly across the island, hosted at various places of residence and hotels.

Superintendent Fitz Bailey, head of the Organised Crime Police Division, told THE STAR that such parties will not be tolerated.

"Yes, it is illegal, I just want to know about it and we will go for them," a perturbed-sounding Bailey said.

He placed these parties in the same category as illegal massage parlours, noting that since January the police have been raiding a number of places and have arrested at least seven persons.

STAR investigations found that the cost of getting into the orgy parties cost between $2,000 and $4,000.

"There are parties where you can go alone and get some action, there are couples parties, swingers (bisexuals) and there are gay parties," Rohan, a promoter, explained.

At least two other promoters who have hosted these events said that they generate huge returns and, as such, larger ones will be staged.

Recently THE STAR attended a 'couples' party, where patrons young and old 'partied' the night away.

The event was slated to begin at 9:00 p.m. and when THE STAR arrived at the venue (a hotel in Portmore), the parking lot outside was buzzing with chatter and laughter from patrons making their way inside.

Skimpily clad

The men were casually attired, while some of the females appeared to have decided that less was best for the occasion.

Very short shorts and skimpy blouses gave a firm indication of what was to be expected later that night.

Upon paying the entrance fee, patrons were given the choice of wearing a mask, an offer few accepted.

Inside, it was noticed that there were no decorations in the room. Couches, sleeping mats and pillows were the prepared 'beds'. Slow jams played quietly from a little component set, tucked neatly in a corner of the room.

After the approximately 30 patrons spent an hour getting acquainted, a handful of curvy females entered and distributed condoms to everyone.

"You see those sexy ladies walking about, they will be giving out condoms ... We have an unlimited supply so take all you think you'll need. Safe sex is a must," the promoter urged.

Some persons instead used the condoms as toys and blew them up like balloons.

Soon after, the lights were dimmed and it was time for the main attraction.

"Don't be shy, we all know why we're here," the promoter said.

Action

For a few, this was just a signal to finish what they had already started as they were earlier seen cuddling and kissing.

In a matter of moments, the room, which was earlier filled with laughter and chatter, was now more quiet.

This made the perfect setting for the moaning and groaning that would ensue for the next four hours. During this time partners were switched around for sexual acts.

While leaving the venue, THE STAR spoke with Natalie, a 22-year-old female, who noticeably received a lot of attention during the session.

"Of course! These parties are always a lot of fun," she replied when asked if she had enjoyed herself.

More than eight men

She then admitted to having sex with more that eight men throughout the night.

"Memba seh is jus fun you know," she said while laughing. "It's just like having sex with one man, 'cause after tonight who knows if I will see them again, it's not like mi deh wid eight man is jus one night of fun."

Dr Sidney McGill, a sex therapist, told the THE STAR that individuals engage in activities such as an orgy party due to boredom and the need for sexual adventure.

"It's just a way of trying something different," Dr McGill said. He added that although sex is a private matter, some persons do find it arousing to partake in a public setting.

Nevertheless, he advised couples not to engage in the act as it might interfere with their relationship. "The disadvantages far outweigh the temporary sexual feelings ... It may create distraction in a relationship," Dr. McGill said.

Meanwhile, Carla Moore, behaviour change communication officer of the National HIV/STI Control Programme, which operates under the auspices of the Ministry of Health, said she was aware of such events. She said that they had not yet made any form of intervention geared specifically towards persons attending these events, but on a whole they targeted persons who engaged in risky sexual activities.

According to Moore, persons who attend these parties are being advised to protect themselves.

Efforts by THE STAR to speak with the hotel operator where the party was staged were unsuccessful, and even employees were tight-lipped. "A trouble you waa get me inna my yout?" one hotel employee asked, hinting that the staging of the event was illegal.

Efforts to save the birthplace of Hip-Hop culture proved successful as the New York Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) rejected a proposed sale of 1520 Sedgwick Avenue to a developer Mark Karasick.

According to Sen. Charles Schumer, the HPD cited the fact that current rents could not be sustained if the sale of the property had gone through.

The decision is the latest chapter in the struggle for Sedgwick Avenue tenants to preserve their building.

Tenants enlisted Hip-Hop co-founder DJ Kool Herc last year to help save the property after word got out that the 100-unit apartment buildings owner planned to leave an affordable housing program known as Mitchell-Lama.

The Mitchell-Lama program presents owners incentives that include low-rate mortgages and tax breaks in exchange for charging tenants low to moderate rents over a certain period of time.

With the HPDs decision, tenants have the chance to negotiate directly with the owner, Schumer stated Monday (March 3).

The building has also been deemed eligible to be listed on national and state registers of historic sites.

Mrs Clinton insists she can go all the way to the White House Clinton's speech

Hillary Clinton has revived her campaign for the US presidency with projected primary election wins in three states.

US media say she has taken the Democratic primary polls in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island. The results of caucus meetings in Texas are not yet known.

Rival Democrat Barack Obama took the primary in the state of Vermont.

Meanwhile, John McCain has won the Republican nomination with projected wins in all the four states.

DEMOCRATIC DELEGATE RACE BARACK OBAMA: 1,477 Delegates won on 4 March: 91 States won: 24 HILLARY CLINTON: 1,391 Delegates won on 4 March: 115 States won: 16 Delegates needed to secure nomination: 2,025. Source: AP Delegates: Who's ahead

His closest rival, Mike Huckabee, has dropped out of the race and pledged to support Mr McCain's candidacy.

Mr McCain's victories take him to 1,224 delegates, well over the threshold of 1,191 needed to claim the nomination at the party's national convention in September.

Both Democratic candidates called Mr McCain to congratulate him on clinching the Republican candidacy.

'Coming back'

Speaking to jubilant crowds in Columbus, Ohio, Mrs Clinton said she was determined to stay in the race and looked forward to continuing the debate with Mr Obama "in the weeks ahead".

"For everyone here in Ohio and across America who has ever been counted out but refused to be knocked out, for everyone who has stumbled but stood right back up, and for everyone who works hard and never gives up, this one is for you," she said.

Mrs Clinton also pointed to Ohio's status as a state which had picked the winning presidential nominee in every contest in recent history.

"You know what they say - as Ohio goes, so goes the nation. Well, this nation's coming back and so is this campaign," she said.

NEXT DEMOCRATIC VOTES 8 March: Wyoming caucus, 12 pledged delegates 11 March: Mississippi primary, 33 pledged delegates 22 April: Pennsylvania primary, 158 pledged delegates 6 May: Indiana primary, 72 delegates; North Carolina primary, 115 pledged delegates In quotes: Reaction to votesNight of high dramaWho won it for Hillary

Addressing supporters in San Antonio, Texas, Mr Obama congratulated Mrs Clinton on running a "hard-fought race" but pointed out that he still held the advantage.

"No matter what happens tonight, we have nearly the same delegate lead as we did this morning, and we are on our way to winning this nomination," he said.

Mr Obama also used his speech to attack Mr McCain's policies on Iraq, warning that he would lead the country on the same course as Mr Bush had followed.

In total, according to the Associated Press, Mrs Clinton still trails Mr Obama with 1,391 delegates to his 1,477.

So while Tuesday's voting has not made much difference to the senators' relative standing in terms of delegates, the BBC's Vincent Dowd in Washington says that the psychological boost for the Clinton camp is huge.

'Convincing case'

Mr McCain's path to the Republican nomination represents a remarkable comeback after his campaign was all but written off following setbacks last summer.

Stand up with me, my friends, stand up and fight for America - for her strength, her ideals, and her future John McCain Full text: McCain speech

Speaking to supporters in Dallas, Texas, he said the most important part of the campaign now lay ahead, in which he must "make a respectful, determined and convincing case to the American people" to pick him over the Democratic candidate in November.

Mr McCain went on to outline the challenges facing the nation, including the war in Iraq and the fight against al-Qaeda and the Taleban.

He also pledged a campaign that avoided "false promises", and appealed for voters to "stand up and fight for America, for her strength, her ideals and her future".

 

He will go to the White House on Wednesday for lunch with George W Bush, when he is expected to receive the president's endorsement.

Conceding the race at a rally in Irving, Texas, Mr Huckabee said: "It's now important that we turn our attention not to what could have been or what we wanted to have been but what now must be, and that is a united party."

For the Democrats, a total of 370 delegates to the nominating party convention in August were at stake in Tuesday's four races, to be divided proportionally.

So far, Mr Obama has gained 13 delegates in Vermont to Mrs Clinton's 7, including super delegates.

With most of the votes counted in Ohio, Mrs Clinton has gained 75 delegates to Mr Obama's 60. Mrs Clinton has won 20 delegates in Rhode Island and Mr Obama has gained 10.

In Texas, so far Mrs Clinton has gained 37 delegates to Mr Obama's 24, with 193 delegates to be allocated in total.

The results from the Texas caucuses - meetings at which voters gather to indicate their support for their chosen candidate - have not been finalised, so the final delegate count is not yet known.

Between the nationwide Super Tuesday contests on 5 February and the 4 March polls, Mr Obama won 11 contests in succession, giving him a lead over Mrs Clinton in the delegate count and apparently unstoppable momentum.

The economy was the most important issue for Democratic voters in all four states, especially Ohio, according to exit polls. The Iraq war was a close second in Vermont.

Those polls also suggested Mrs Clinton was doing well among white, blue-collar and older voters in Ohio, which may indicate she has halted Mr Obama's advance into those groups, her core base until recent contests.

One876Entertainment.com understands that a release from the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) stated that popular music download website Audiomaxxx.com has been shut down, more than 200,000 music CDs and DVDs seized and four persons arrested following a year-long investigation.

Features on Rastafarians during this Black History Month and Reggae Month have been some of the most prominent and striking at YardFlex. There is a special aura surrounding this group of individuals who are most passionate about upholding the importance of "black strength" and by extension, productivity. YardFlex has highlighted Jamaica's first black millionaire, George Steibel and other black inventors who have made enormous contributions to development of Black people. While their lives continue to inspire, it is the legacy of Bob Marley, that has influenced the success of the many "black champions" featured regularly on YardFlex. Ras.I.Him.I is one such 'champion' who is a Canadian based, popular clothing designer for some of Dancehall's most celebrated artists. In case you are wondering what he has done to deserve recognition during Black History Month; he designed and created the outfits worn by the likes of, I-Wayne and Tarrus Riley for this year's Dancehall spectacle, Sting. He is the founder and CEO of his company, Irockable Togo Inc., where fashion is formed through his unique designs and flawless manufacturing; before being efficiently distributed to his often prestigious client list. Irockable Togo Inc., is also engaged in the production of Reggae music.

Thursday, 06 March 2008   Two Jamaicans who were said to be major players in the multi-billion dollar international drugs trade are facing life in prison after being found guilty of smuggling in the United States (US). 

They are Leebert Ramcharran who was designated by the White House as an international drug kingpin and Donovan "Plucky" Williams.

Both men were convicted in a Florida Court on Wednesday.

The convictions were for conspiracy to import and conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine.

Ramcharan reportedly led a sophisticated drug smuggling organization that received 15 thousand kilograms of cocaine from the north coast of Col****ia between 1998 and 2004.

US prosecutors said the shipments were stored in Jamaica, then sent to the Bahamas and later transported to the U.S.

  Williams was said to be one of Ramcharran's partners in the operation.

The men were arrested in Montego Bay, St. James in 2004 and were extradited to the United States last year.

Their trial commenced on January 15^th and included testimony from more than 15 witnesses, including officers from the Jamaican Constabulary Force, the Royal Bahamian Police Force as well as the US Drug Enforcement Agency.   

Civilian witnesses from Col****ia, the United States, and Jamaica also gave testimony.

In addition, the US government introduced more than 100 items of evidence, including wiretaps on the telephones of the co-conspirators.

Weve written before about the contentious debate surrounding the so-called version tag, but the basic idea is that website developers will be able to add a meta tag to their pages telling IE how it should render the page in traditional mode (non-standard IE 6-style rendering), standards mode (IE 7s half-baked concept of standards) and super standards mode (where IE will render similar to the way Firefox, Opera and Safari have been doing for the last five years).

A number of developers have decried the meta-tag flagging as a way of versioning the web, which they feel is a bad idea. But regardless of how the meta-tag might play out, we find it interesting that, if the rumors are to be believed, IE 8 will automatically render in traditional mode.

If thats the case, IE 8 better have some killer features. Otherwise Microsoft may be hard pressed to convince anyone to upgrade. Although IE 7 usage has climbed since its release, much of it may well be driven by the release of Windows Vista (which bundles IE 7). Since IE 8 won't have an OS upgrade to piggyback on, without compelling new features many users may not bother upgrading.

Microsoft reportedly plans to demo IE 8 at the MIX conference, which kicks off the first week of March. Well be sure to keep you updated as details about IE 8 begin to emerge.

# Justice Department describes ring as a "vast child exploitation enterprise"
# The suspects allegedly distributed more than 400,000 lewd pictures and movies
# Authorities: Technology used by the suspects made them especially hard to find
# 20 children rescued; ring had allegedly been trading in child porn for two years

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Fourteen Americans are in custody as part of a global crackdown on a well-organized child porn ring that used sophisticated encryption technology, the FBI and Justice Department announced Tuesday.

Justice Department officials described it as a "vast child exploitation enterprise" that included graphic images, such as ones showing toddlers engaged in various sexual and sadistic acts.

The suspects allegedly used Internet newsgroups and large file-sharing networks to trade and share images and videos.

They also distributed more than 400,000 lewd pictures and movies, the Justice Department said.

Authorities said the advanced technology the suspects allegedly used to both share the images among themselves and sell the material to others made them especially hard to track down.

"This is beyond a quantum exponential leap for us to see folks that have gone to this much trouble to produce this kind of volume of horrific exploitation of children," said FBI executive assistant director J. Stephen Tidwell, according to The Associated Press.

It may take years for authorities to find the victims, Tidwell told the AP, adding that 20 of the children seen in the images have been identified and rescued so far.

The ring, which allegedly had been trading in child porn for two years, was broken up after a law enforcement officer infiltrated the group, the Justice Department said.

Twelve of the those arrested -- including suspects from Virginia, Florida, Oregon, Indiana, Texas, Connecticut, Washington state, California, Texas, Idaho and North Carolina -- face charges of engaging in a child exploitation enterprise, transportation of child porn and obstruction of justice.

If found guilty, the suspects could face a sentence ranging from 20 years to life in prison.

Two other defendants face separate charges.

The FBI said 22 people were taken into custody overall, including people in Australia, Canada, Germany and England.

Eight Bronx men connected to John Shop Records, a studio and reggae record label launched with drug money, were convicted by a federal jury on Monday (March 3) after being accused of selling as much as $1 million worth of weed every week.

Singer and producer Wyclef Jean was one of the artists who recorded at the studio, as was international reggae star Sizzla, according to New York's Daily News.

The gang, known as the John Shop Crew, reportedly flew 2,000 pounds of pot a week from California to New York where they sold the weed to lower-level drug dealers, during the years of 1997 to 2004.

Anthony Patterson, 37, was the crew's head honcho, who supervised the transports and sent money back to buy more drugs.

Patterson and four others were convicted on drug and gun charges. They're all looking at a maximum of life in prison.

Three others pleaded guilty and face 25 years in jail.

The rear entrance of the college was blown apart Enlarge Image

At least four people have been killed and 14 injured in a suicide b****ing at a naval college in the Pakistani city of Lahore, officials say.

Lahore's police chief said two attackers drove by motorcycle into the back entrance of the college and exploded separate b****s.

A number of blasts were heard - though officials said those may have been fuel tanks exploding on other cars.

It is the fourth apparent suicide attack in Pakistan in five days.

The country has been fighting an Islamist insurgency in its northern provinces and its major cities and military are frequently targeted by b****ers.

Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was killed by a suicide b****er in Rawalpindi in December.

On Sunday at least 40 people were reported killed in a suicide attack on a gathering of tribal elders in north-western Pakistan.

 

The car windows were open and I could feel the reverberations of the blast in the air Huzaifah MubbashirBusinessman Mr Mubbashir's full accountBattling the militantsAll change in 'wild west'

 

 

Lahore, the capital of Punjab province, has not been a frequent target, although 19 people were killed in a suicide b**** attack near the High Court in January.

Ms Bhutto's widower and the new leader of her party, Asif Ali Zardari, condemned Tuesday's attack as "inhuman, barbaric and most despicable".

Mr Zardari, who is leading attempts to form a coalition government following recent elections, called on Pakistanis to unite against "conspirators and extremists".

High-security area

After Tuesday's blasts, television footage showed mangled gates, cars on fire, smoke billowing from the car park at the back of the Naval War College, and medics ferrying the dead and injured to ambulances.

The b****s mangled cars and blew a hole in the compound wall

Lahore police chief Malik Mohammad Iqbal said: "Two suicide b****ers attacked the naval college."

He said the first drove up to the gate and destroyed it by exploding a b****.

"He cleared the way for the second b****er to drive into the parking lot where he also exploded himself," he told the AFP news agency.

Medics were seen recovering the severed head and shoulder of a suspected b****er. The Naval War College is Pakistan's primary training school for senior officers.

It is located in the heart of Lahore, in a high-security area that also houses the state governor's house, a five-star hotel and government offices.

Why did the gully god sing "JERUSALEM" , "Don't Worry" and the song on the Misson Riddim? Rumor has it that he is just throwing words because HE was band from a country when he performed on there stage show He did some said somethings so they banded him. WHAT DO YOU THINK????

We have now entered that special time of the year designated to be Women's month, and for those who have not noticed, the women of Reggae and Dancehall are determined to leave a mark of their own on the male dominated industry. While others strive to represent the 'fairer sex', one woman, Macka Diamond, may be looking to outdo them all with a power move worthy of a female DPP a la Paula Llewellyn.

Fresh from her successful Trinidadian tour, the 'Money Goddess' was revealed that DiamondDistrict Ja. (Macka's new entertainment company) has a host of projects in the pipe line, but the crown jewel is a charity project aimed at assisting single mothers all across the island, throughout the month of March where Macka will be paying the bills for poor single mothers struggling to meet ends in an economy buffeted by the onset of an economic recession in the United States.

Macka has been going great guns recently. She recently hobnobbed with none other than The First Lady of Reggae, Rita Marley, at the recently held Reggae Academy Awards, at the National Indoor Sports Complex in Kingston Jamaica. Both ladies looked flawless, but as great as they both looked, fashion was not the reason for their bright smiles, because word on the street is that Macka was more excited about the coveted opportunity of going into the studio to work with Grammy Award winning producer, Stephen Marley.

"Trus mi, a murda, Macka and the Marley's, dem nuh ready fi dis," says the Money Goddess, who was ecstatic about the opportunity. "Dem yute dey have di sound and di natural gift, suh working wid dem is like a dream come true, believe mi."

They say opportunity favours the prepared man, but opportunity also favours the prepared woman, and Macka Diamond is proving to be just that, prepared for whatever, landing a number one soca collaboration, and then working with living legend, Toots Hibbert, now this, what's next? . Details surrounding the project were sketchy, but one thing is for sure, whatever it is, with Stephen Marley's Grammy touch, and Macka Diamond's witty play on words, all we can say is, run di track

French Mayor Makes It Illegal For Residents To Die In His City

There have been a lot of laws made in the world and a lot of people who disobey them. But here's one that some are dying to break. The mayor of the French village of Sarpourenx has passed an edict forbidding the 260 residents of his small hamlet from passing on within city limits.

Mayor Gerard Lalanne complains his town has run out of room at the local cemetery, so he's passed an ordinance that states "all persons not having a plot in the cemetery and wishing to be buried in Sarpourenx are forbidden from dying in the parish."

What happens if you do? The law promises to severely punish the offenders, which would literally have to be a fate worse than death.

Lalanne claims he had no choice but to issue the ridiculous and completely unenforceable edict, after a court in a nearby town ruled his city wouldn't be able to acquire land to expand the cemetery. There's no word on what might happen to any unfortunate victim who expires in the wrong place at the wrong time without the necessary reservations.

The 70-year-old mayor is up for re-election this month and it's not clear if this legal roadblock will spell the death knell for his term in office. Fortunately, they don't have to worry about space when it comes to burying political careers.

wo boys had to be removed from the airstrip at the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, St James last week, after they went on the runway and began 'running down' planes claiming they wanted to go abroad.

The boys, ages eight and seven, who are from Savanna-la-Mar, Westmoreland, some 40 miles from the airport, took a bus to the second city after school, police told THE STAR.

Montego Bay's top cop, Superintendent Steve McGregor, said the boys entered the airport through a dead end and somehow managed to get on the airstrip. "They said they heard the plane and followed the sound because they wanted to go abroad," Supt. McGregor told THE STAR. "I personally spoke to their parents and told them they were lucky we didn't arrest them because they can't leave two little boys alone like that."

The boys, one of whom told police he wanted to be a pilot, told officers that they asked a woman to put them on a bus to Montego Bay after leaving school. They exited the bus at the Montego Bay Transportation Centre and, following the sounds of the planes, walked to an area known as 'Dead End' at the rear of the airport. They then walked around a wall and climbed over a fence to get on the runway.

Police said shortly after 5 p.m. a pilot, turning to make a take-off, saw the boys and apparently radioed the tower who sent for them to be picked up, but not before the boys began running after and beckoning to at least two planes. They were blown to the ground twice by the two aircrafts, police said.

"The airport's authorities need to secure the place more," an officer who spoke to the boys said, "If kids can get on to the airport property then anyone can get on there and do anything and it could cause some serious problems."

When the police contacted their colleagues at the Savanna-la-Mar Police Station, the boys' mothers had already made missing person reports. The parents were taken to Montego Bay where they were questioned and released with their children.

Efforts to speak to a representative from the Airports Authority of Jamaica proved unsuccessful yesterday.

If you, despite everything, were still holding out hope that Notorious B.I.G. might get the smart, probing biopic that his legacy deserves through the delays, the director changes, the producers' appalling decision to cast the rapper via an internet talent search, etc. we have some bad news: We've read the script, and we're not optimistic. Similar recent music bios have been wise to limit their scope to specific parts of their subjects' histories. The 113-page screenplay for Notorious (by journalist Cheo Hodari Coker) makes the unfortunate decision to pack an entire (albeit short) life into a two-hour movie. 8 Mile's focus on Eminem's early, pre-fame career gave the film a natural story arc and taught us things we didn't already know. Notorious on paper, at least plays like a loose-knit highlight reel; it's basically the screenplay adaptation of Biggie's Wikipedia entry. It opens with his murder and funeral, then doubles back to his Brooklyn childhood. We get a few scenes of Biggie at home, in the classroom, and on the corner dealing crack; there are some rap posters in his bedroom, and we see him fill a rhyme book during a nine-month prison sentence, but there's no real explanation given for how he went from enthusiastic fan to one of hip-hop's all-time most revered emcees. Nevertheless, by page 30, he's signed to Puffy's label, and from there it's a mad, tensionless dash to the end of his biography, with all emerging conflicts his mom's breast cancer, baby-mama drama, various love triangles (Biggie, Faith Evans, Lil' Kim; Biggie, Evans, Tupac) resolved within a scene or two. Notorious was purportedly written with input from Biggie's mom, Voletta Wallace, and his managers Wayne Barrow and Mark Pitts, all of whom are credited producers on the project. This much is clear in the way that many of Biggie's most important moments are told after the fact through his conversations with them; we only learn about Biggie's marriage to Evans when he tells Barrow and Pitts about a month later (though, curiously, we're there when he asks them both to be his managers), and it's only in phone calls with his mother that he denies involvement both times Tupac gets shot. No killer is explicitly fingered in Biggie's own death either (understandably, we guess); the script makes clear that we never see the shooter's face. We do, however, see him in a garage cleaning and oiling his weapon in preparation. He has police scanners on his workbench and in his car, along with LAPD credentials on his dashboard that lets him drive past a police blockade on his way to the murder, though there's no speculation on who he is or who he might've been working for. Anyway, the script isn't a total wash. The early pages on Biggie's adolescence are compelling enough we just wish they'd been more the focus. Two-thirds of Notorious takes place after he's already famous, dwelling more on his success than his early ambition or talent (which would've been way more appealing). It's hard to imagine anyone these days feeling too inspired by his fame or record sales, since they were hardly replicable even in the nineties as they were happening, much less in today's music business. The filmmakers would probably have done better to concentrate on what made Biggie one of rap's greats, or at least given us a scene or two of him honing his craft. We wanted a penetrating look at the guy who made Ready to Die, but Notorious cuts about as deep as your average, single-disc greatest hits. You may want to adjust your expectations accordingly.

Members of the entertainment fraternity are still in shocked after hearing the sad news that Alliance member/deejay Rraw Dawg was brutally killed last night.

According to reports reaching the offices of 876radio.com, Rraw Dawg was gunned down while on his way from a popular night club in Washington D.C., the unofficial reports said he was shot eleven (11) times and died on the spot. What is even more bizarre, the upcoming deejay was never one known for trouble or getting himself into problematic situation.

"Him a di last man anybody ah expect fi hear sum'ting like dat fi happen to ..cause even though we neva close ..him was still a easy going yute weh nuh trouble people ...a just fun anytime yuh deh round dem man deh.. so fi see dat reach him it just mash up everyman medz a way." Alliance member Wayne Marshall said.

Details surrounding his death are still sketchy at this time, but one thing is certain, the entire Bounty Killer led Alliance is still trying to come to grips with this tragic loss. Efforts by our team to contact Alliance spokesman Julian Jones-Griffiths proved futile as we found out himself, Bounty, Mavado and Busy were all off the island on other professional engagements.

Rraw Dawg who migrated to the United States at an early age was schooled in New York, after leaving school through much encouragement from family and friends he decided to pursue a career as a deejay and soon recorded his first song titled "Gyal in a Me Bed" on the 'Aolla Aolla' riddim a few years later he decided to dabble into the world of producing and made his first 'riddim' the "Yellow Tape" which featured the likes of the warlord himself, Bounty Killer, Busy Signal, Wayne Marshall, Jaguar, Angel Doolas and himself featuring Michael Andrews amongst others.

In closing we the family of 876radio.com would just like to take this opportunity to extend our condolences to his family and friends in their time of need and let them know our prayers goes out to them. Rrawg Dawg you will be sadly missed with that signature slang "Ahrrar".

Patrick Swayze who thrilled and had pulses soaring in Dirty Dancing has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and according to shocking US report he only has 5 weeks to live. The actor, 55, was reportedly diagnosed in late January with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs. For the past month, the actor and dancer has been traveling to Stanford University's prestigious cancer center in Palo Alto for radical chemotherapy, but his doctors are no longer optimistic that the treatments will be successful, this according to one tabloid report. Swayze who has previously attended a clinic to overcome alcoholism after his sister Vicky died from an overdose of painkillers in 1994 received three doses of chemotherapy and the tumor shrank, but less than his doctors had hoped for and Patrick was told he should prepare for the end

A New Zealand driver who used a fake car seatbelt to fool police was killed when it failed him in a head-on crash.

Ivan Segedin refused to wear a seatbelt while driving and had been fined 32 times in the past five years for not wearing one, a coroner's court was told.

Mr Segedin, 39, died in a crash on July 22 last year from multiple injuries when his car crossed the road and collided head-on with an oncoming vehicle on the North Island, coroner Carla na Nagara said. "Ultimately, Mr Segedin's actions in driving without a seatbelt have cost him his life in an accident that he may well have survived had he worn one," she said.

We're not sure why Mariah Carey keeps putting nerdy dudes in her videos -- remember Jerry O'Connell showing up in Heartbreaker? (Don't ask how we knew that.) -- but her latest, Touch My Body, stars Jack McBrayer of 30 Rock fame, and takes it to the the next dorktastic level. Not only do the lyrics reference YouTube (and terrifyingly, hunting you down if you so much as think about putting a certain type of video on it), but the video features Guitar Hero, laser tag, and Mimi requesting -- nay, demanding! -- to be upgraded to 802.11n WiFi because "... the download speed was killing me." We wish we were kidding. Mariah, look, we'll be honest -- CompuNerds are ripping you off. We don't usually do house calls, but we may make an exception if you ask nicely.

Hill to play Rita in Bob Marley's biopic

YardFlex understands that Rita is desperate for singer Lauryn Hill to portray her on screen in the first ever biopic of her late husband, reggae icon Bob Marley.

According to pr-inside.com, Marley is working as executive producer on the big screen adaptation of her 2004 autobiography No Woman No Cry: My Life With Bob Marley - and has her sights set on casting the former Fugees frontwoman, her daughter-in-law, in the chronicle of her tumultuous 15-year marriage to the musician.

She explains, "Lauryn would be ideal (to play me). She sees my life as her life." Bob Marley's son Rohan - with former lover Janet Hunt - is married to the Everything Is Everything hitmaker, who has been
largely absent from the music scene following her hit 1998 debut solo album The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill.

The as-yet-untitled project is slated to begin filming early next year (09).

Rihanna has banned audience members from bringing umbrellas to her latest UK tour, this according to a report on digitalspy.com. The singer has responded to a series of umbrella-related accidents at European shows by confiscating the items from fans before they enter arenas. The amnesty was enforced at her gig in Aberdeen on Monday. A fan told the Daily Star: "I always carry an umbrella with me as the weather is dodgy and snow was predicted to fall. "I couldn't believe it when I had mine taken off me during a bag search on my way inside the venue." Security guard Andy McDonald, said: "We don't normally ask people to leave an umbrella outside. But we were taking precautions over a potential accident. "We were told that Rihanna's song features dancing with umbrellas on stage. We didn't want the crowd following her actions and someone getting their eye poked out." Merchandise stalls at the concert only sold official Rihanna branded umbrellas once the show had finished.

Love him or hate him, Jamaican artiste Moses 'Beenie Man' Davis still remains the most popular artiste around. The recently held IRIE FM Awards attested to this when he copped the coveted People's Choice Award and also walked away with the Reggae Academy Award for the Most Popular Artiste.

"While some persons may scoff at these awards because they are not aware of their importance, they are the milestones being laid that will eventually lead to the Lifetime Awards as he has already copped the prestigious 2000 Grammy Award," says his delighted Khool Entertainment publicist, Ray Alexander.

The versatile DJ seems to get better amidst several controversial events that have made him no doubt one of the artiste who continues to make headlines in both electronic and print media.

Beenie Man, a child prodigy who came on the scene in the mid 80s, became the most popular dancehall entertainer by the mid 90s.

By 1991 Beenie Man fell out of grace with the entertainment fraternity when he was booed off stage at a show celebrating the visit of Nelson Mandela for drawing on inappropriate lyrics. This crushing event was to, however, make Beenie Man renew his desire for success. At the age of 19, he dropped an album titled 'Cool Cool Rider' which went largely unnoticed.

However, with several international tours and distribution agreements for his work, Beenie Man's international reputation and record sales also expanded, culminating in a record-setting seven 1999 International Reggae & World Music Awards and a 2000 Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album for 'Art & Life'. Throughout his career, Beenie Man incorporated various styles such as techno, R&B, hip-hop, and Latin rhythms and stagecraft dancing into his work, pushing the boundaries of reggae.

Beenie Man's Awards over the years
Beenie Man's conquistador style of the dancehall has seen him copping awards from the 1998 Tamika Awards for Best Video Of The Year Dancehall Queen along with Chevelle Franklyn, International Artiste of The Year, C****ination/Duo of The Year along with Chevelle Franklyn, DJ Of The Year, Crossover Record of The Year along with Chevelle Franklyn; International Reggae & World Music Awards (IRWMA), Best Music Video, Best Male DJ, Most Outstanding Stage Personality, Recording Artiste of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Best Gospel-Oriented Song, and Entertainer of the Year, 1999; American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) Songwriter Award, 1999-2000; Grammy Award, Best Reggae Album, 2000; Music of Black Origins Award, Best Reggae Act, 2000.

For 2007, his awards were for the categories of Best Dressed Male Artiste, DJ Of The Year, Most Popular Artiste, People's Choice Artiste of the Year, Best Collaboration of The Year shared with Barbee and the unofficial all media awards for Most Controversial and Humorous Artiste and DJ of the Decade.
