Kent Hovind’s April 2007 appeal denied

by Admin

Saturday, April 21, 2007

Kent Hovind‘s motion for acquittal was denied on Wednesday, April 18, 2007. Hovind, a Pensacola young Earth creationist and operator of Dinosaur Adventure Land, along with his wife, Jo Hovind, were found guilty in November 2006 on 58 federal counts of “willful failure” to payroll taxes, structuring bank withdrawals, and obstructing federal agents.

On January 19, 2007 Kent was sentenced to ten years in prison and ordered to pay US$640,000 in owed funds to the Internal Revenue Service, pay prosecution’s court costs of $7,078, and serve three years parole once released.

In his motion, Hovind had contended that under the rule in a case called United States v. Davenport the crime is not the individual withdrawals, but is instead the total transaction, also known as the “unit of the crime.” Thus, Hovind argued that in his case there was no “unit of the crime” “separate and distinct from the alleged act of withdrawing, and without such a separate amount to be structured [. . .] there could be no crime alleged, and no conviction on any charge in Counts 13 through 57.” The trial court rejected Hovind’s “unit of the crime” argument.

Had the judge ruled in Hovind’s favor his sentence would have reduced Hovind’s prison sentence from ten years to five years.

Jo Hovind sentencing was delayed pending the ruling on the motion. She will be sentenced soon though no date has been set.

How To Find The Best Wrinkle Cream For You

by Admin

By Ray A. Rubio

It would be a gross understatement to state that many women are looking for the best wrinkle cream available on the market. Not only are women looking for the best wrinkle cream available on the market, but many are seemingly crusading for the ‘Holy Grail’ of wrinkle creams. These women are no longer satisfied with a regular wrinkle cream that does the job; instead they are looking for a miracle wrinkle cream that has powerful restorative qualities.

These women are not satisfied with what was previously offered on the market, and quite frankly I don’t blame them. There are many wrinkle creams that are made with harmful chemicals that are bad for your skin. Some of these wrinkle creams are made with chemicals that may cause cancer when used over a long period of time.

For years, I searched for a solution to this difficult problem. And today, I am happy to proclaim that I finally found a wrinkle cream that is nothing short of miraculous.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScY9kgSOv5I[/youtube]

This wrinkle cream contains natural ingredients that will erase the marks that time has left on your skin. It uses Nanobelle CoenzymeQ10 and phytessence wakame.

Phytessence wakame is an extracted that is made from Japanese sea kelp. It is high in calcium and other essential minerals that will keep your skin looking young and subtle. This natural compound is highly prized by the Japanese and is used by many Japanese women in maintaining their smooth, porcelain skin. But this nutritious kelp extract does more than maintain the quality of your skin; it also has healing properties that can repair damaged skin.

But phytessence wakame isn’t the only ingredient that constitutes this excellent wrinkle cream. Nanobelle CoenzymeQ10 is another active ingredient that is used. Nanobelle CoenzymeQ10 is a powerful vitamin-like substance that can penetrate deep into the skin to nourish the skin with antioxidants. It dives deep into the skin to reduce wrinkles while forming a protective layer outside the skin that protects your skin from sun damage.

Rounding up this impressive group of ingredients is Cynergy TK. Cynergy TK is a revolutionary new ingredient that can stimulate the skin’s production of collagen and elastin, thus promoting skin firmness and elasticity. Cynergy TK contains functional Keratin, a natural ingredient that is found in the wool of New Zealand sheep.

All these ingredients can be found in Xtendlife’s wrinkle cream. I have received many enquires regarding wrinkle creams. And I can equivocally proclaim this wrinkle cream to be the best wrinkle cream I have ever used. Women who have used this wrinkle cream have been singing its praises.

There are many factors that need to be considered when selecting the best wrinkle cream for you. But several rules should be observed when selecting a wrinkle cream. A wrinkle cream should only use the finest and most effective natural ingredients. It should not contain any harmful substances or chemicals that could be bad for your skin or your health. Human beings have a tendency to stay within their comfort zones, but in the realm of wrinkle creams, only the brave and the bold will be rewarded.

US raids Iran ‘liaison office’, Russia says it is unacceptable

by Admin

Friday, January 12, 2007

The U.S. armed forces detained five Iranians working at a “liaison office” located in Erbil, Iraq before dawn on Friday. Sources said that the U.S. forces first landed their helicopters around the building, then broke through the office’s gate, disarmed the guards, confiscated some documents and certain objects, arrested five suspected terrorists, and then left for an undisclosed location.

However, there was no raid on the Iranian Consulate General as earlier reported. Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman told Agence France-Presse that the building raided was “not a consulate or a government building”, which appears to be confirmed by the Iraqi foreign minister, Hoshyar Zebari, who said the Iranians were working at an office that had government approval and was in the process of being approved as a consulate, but was not a Consulate nor the Iranian Consulate General. The US is strategically insisting that they raided a “liaison office” instead of a Consulate to avoid being found in violation of Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.

Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Mikhail Kamynin said that the raid was absolutely unacceptable and was a violation of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. The Kurdistan Regional Government also expressed their shock and disapproval of the raid.

On Thursday’s hearing on Iraq, Senator Joseph Biden (D-Delware), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that the Bush Administration did not have the authority to send U.S. troops on cross-border raids. Biden said, “I believe the present authorization granted the president to use force in Iraq does not cover that, and he does need congressional authority to do that. I just want to set that marker.” After the meeting, Biden sent a follow-up letter to the White House asking for an explanation from the Bush Administration on the matter.

On Thursday morning, Iran’s foreign ministry official sent a letter to Iraq’s foreign ministry asking Iraq to stop the Bush Administration from interfering with Iraq-Iran relations, and has protested the raid on its liaison office. The official said, “We expect the Iraqi government to take immediate measures to set the aforesaid individuals free and to condemn the U.S. troopers for the measure. Following up on the case and releasing the arrestees is a responsibility of primarily the Iraqi government and then the local government and officials of the Iraqi Kurdistan.”

Blair launches third and final manifesto

by Admin

Wednesday, April 13, 2005

Tony Blair today launched the Labour Party’s 112 page manifesto for a third term, entitled “Britain: Forward not back”, at London’s Mermaid Theatre this afternoon, promising not to increase income tax or VAT.

Blair, with Chancellor Gordon Brown, described the manifesto, which focused on economic policy, as “radical”, “quintessentially New Labour” and giving people the “chance to succeed and make the most of what they have”.

As well as economic promises, the manifesto pledged better social housing, increased funding and reform of education and the National Health Service and the introduction of community police patrols. The manifesto does not promise a freeze on National Insurance, the income-linked tax which funds the NHS and pensions.

Conservative leader Michael Howard said that the British people had “heard it all before”, and reiterated claims that Labour would have to increase taxes significantly in the third term.

Deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats, Sir Menzies Campbell, whose party was the only mainstream party consistently against the Iraq war, said Labour would “not be judged by their promises, but by what they have done”, adding that Labour have not kept their previous promises.

The Conservative Party and Green Party launched their manifestos yesterday, and the Liberal Democrats launch theirs tomorrow.

Iraqi deputy health minister kidnapped

by Admin

Sunday, November 19, 2006

Deputy to the Iraq Health Minister, Ammar al-Saffar, who lives with his sister in Baghdad’s Sunni neighbourhood of Adhamiya, was kidnapped today.

It is reported that six uniformed men and others wearing suits, arrived at Mr Saffer’s home in police cars and pickup trucks and took him off.

As one of the deputies to the Health Minister, Mr Saffer called earlier this year for as much as $8 Billion to restore Iraq’s health services.

On August 9, 2006, Mr Saffar discussed the health situation in Iraq with the BBC. He said that the insurgents were killing doctors and trying to create a brain drain. 100 doctors had been killed “because they were trying to help people and because they were Shia”. He said that there are about 18,000 doctors in Iraq but many have left, while others practice at home rather than at hospitals where they could be better protected. Under Saddam they were not permitted to leave, now there is no restriction. But now there are cash incentives: under Saddam they earned $2-3 a month, now they can earn up to $500 a month. On security, he said that the people blamed the US for the violence because, although they were responsible for security, they left the borders poorly guarded.

Mr Saffer survived an assassination attempt in June, 2004 when he was fired upon as he left his home. He was uninjured.

Eric Bogosian on writing and the creative urge

by Admin

Thursday, April 17, 2008

Eric Bogosian is one of America’s great multi-dimensional talents. “There’s sort of three different careers, and any one of them could exist by itself, on its own two feet. There was that solo stuff, and then I started writing plays in the late seventies.” Although his work has spanned genres, most readers will recognize Bogosian for his acting, which has included a memorable performance in Woody Allen‘s Deconstructing Harry to co-writing and starring in the Oliver Stone movie Talk Radio (based upon his Pulitzer Prize-nominated play) to playing the bad guy in Under Siege 2 to his current role in Law & Order: Criminal Intent as Captain Danny Ross. They may not know, however, that he had collaborated with Frank Zappa on a album, worked with Sonic Youth, and was a voice on Mike Judge‘s Beavis & Butthead Do America. He started one of New York City’s largest dance companies, The Kitchen, which is still in existence. He starred alongside Val Kilmer in Wonderland and his play Talk Radio was recently revived on Broadway with Liev Schreiber in the role Bogosian wrote and made famous.

Currently at work on his third novel, tentatively titled The Artist, Bogosian spoke with David Shankbone about the craft of writing and his life as a creative.

Wikinews interviews former Salt Lake City mayor and 2012 presidential candidate Rocky Anderson

by Admin

Wednesday, December 21, 2011

Former Salt Lake City mayor and human rights activist Rocky Anderson took some time to discuss his 2012 U.S. presidential campaign and the newly-created Justice Party with Wikinews reporter William S. Saturn.

Anderson served as mayor of Salt Lake City for eight years (2000–2008) as a member of the Democratic Party. During his tenure, he enacted proposals to reduce the city’s carbon emissions, reformed its criminal justice system, and positioned it as a leading sanctuary for refugees. After leaving office, Anderson grew critical of the Democratic Party’s failure to push for impeachment against President George W. Bush, and for not reversing policies on torture, taxes, and defense spending. He left the party earlier this year and announced that he would form a Third party.

Anderson officially established the Justice Party last week during a press conference in Washington D.C.. He proclaimed “We the people are powerful enough to end the perverse government-to-the-highest-bidder system sustained by the two dominant parties…We are here today for the sake of justice — social justice, environmental justice and economic justice.” The party promotes campaign finance reform and is attempting to appeal to the Occupy Wall Street movement. It is currently working on ballot access efforts, and will hold a Founding Convention in February 2012 in Salt Lake City.

Among other issues, Anderson discussed climate change, health care, education, and civil liberties. He detailed his successes as mayor of Salt Lake City, stressed the importance of executive experience, and expressed his views on President Barack Obama and some of the Republican Party presidential candidates. He spoke in depth about former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, with whom he worked during the 2002 Winter Olympics, and fellow Utahan, former governor and U.S. ambassador to China Jon Huntsman, Jr..

5 Tips To Make A Highly Effective Body Wrap At Home

by Admin

By Daniellle Sims

Body wraps have been used for years for various reasons. They are a superb treatment for skin tightening and toning, inch loss, detoxification, cellulite control, skin nourishing and conditioning and pain relief.

The most popular and beneficial kind of body wrap offered today in the spas and as do-it-yourself home kits is the inch loss body wrap. These treatment is used for healing, moisturizing, and conditioning the skin. However, the main task of this spa wrap is weight and inch loss.

Inch loss body wraps help to stimulate lymphatic drainage, which helps to releases toxins and fat acids from your cells. These toxins and fat acids are then eliminated through your natural waste process.

It is essential to drink large quantities of water to aid in the detoxification and fat loss process during an inch loss body wrap. The water helps to flush these impurities out of your system. For the next few days after the wrap, you should continue to drink plenty of water and eat healthy to support this process since you can continue to experience inch loss several days after your wrap.

Although the results from the inch loss body wrap can vary depending on an individual’s toxicity level, the loss obtained is often permanent if you continue to maintain a healthy diet and do not gain more weight.

Body wrapping does not have to be complicated or have a huge list of ingredients in order for you to achieve your goals. These 5 tips will ensure that your homemade body wrap is successful and not stressful.

New Internet addresses tested on World IPv6 Day

by Admin

Wednesday, June 8, 2011

Online organisations around the world are today testing Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) — a new system of Internet addresses hoped to resolve the issue of the present system being at capacity. World IPv6 Day is checking everything works as planned.

The current IPv4 standard was set up in the 1980s; it gives everything on the Internet a twelve-digit address and allows for 4.3 billion combinations. With these exhausted, IPv6 is designed to increase the limit 340 undecillion — that’s 340 trillion trillion trillion.

Major websites including services run by Google, Facebook, and Yahoo! are taking part in the test, switching their content to use the new system. Facebook predicts 99.97% of users to be unaffected and Google anticipates 99.5% will not encounter problems. The remainder may encounter slow page loading.

Fiji and Australia are among the first countries to have business-hours web traffic during the test. Internet Society of Australia President Tony Hill claims more than 100 global companies are involved.
